Well stop talking to your ex for starters, it sounds like you're at least emotionally cheating on your current boyfriend. If you aren't willing to stop talking to your ex then you should break up with your boyfriend so he can find someone who actually wants him.
It sounds like you and your boyfriend are going through a difficult time right now. It's clear that you regret what happened and want to make things right with him. However, his response of calling you derogatory names and refusing to use your name is not a healthy or productive way to deal with the situation.
It's important to remember that being in a relationship means treating each other with respect and kindness, even when you're upset or angry. Name-calling and verbal abuse are never okay. If your boyfriend continues to speak to you in this way, it may be a sign that he is not taking the situation seriously and is not willing to work on improving your relationship.
In this situation, it's important for you to communicate openly and honestly with your boyfriend about how his behavior is affecting you. Let him know that the name-calling and verbal abuse are hurtful and unacceptable. It may also be helpful to seek support from a therapist or counselor who can help you both work through the issues in your relationship and develop healthier communication and conflict resolution skills.
In the meantime, it's important for you to take care of yourself and set boundaries. If your boyfriend is unwilling to stop calling you names, it may be necessary for you to take some time apart to give yourselves space to think about the situation and decide what you want for your relationship. Remember that you deserve to be treated with respect and kindness, and it's okay to put your own well-being first.
It was on a family holiday and we are booked to go back to the same place next year, I tried to make excuses not to go but everyone booked anyways. I dont know how i would report him without even remembering what happened and not even knowing his name. Ive had an expierence in the past where i was sexually assaulted and remembered every detail, went the next day to report it and had an ongoing court case for 3 years and the man got away with it because I had no physical evidence. The pain it put through me and my family was worse than what actually happened
OP, Inform someone at school! Your mother is not trying to protect you at all, so you have nothing to owe her! Break free! Don't go back, and tell everyone who will listen!
Sorry hun, it didn’t require “combing through” anything – I just clicked on the profile because I was curious as to why she wanted to be a dick on an advice post and those were her top 3 most recent posts. Again, if – with my current post history on this account – I went around making jokes about age gaps and child brides, I would expect someone to make fun of me. I don’t know why she didn’t.
Just say to her you love them at her non period size and ask her why she doesn't believe you. Do you act differently with them when she's on her cycle? Or treat her differently?
Hahah, internet strangers give me better advice than most people I know, so thank you! Emotions suck, and sometimes I wish I was a robot. Just bummed. I feel it would almost be easier had we had some big fight and I had a solid reason why it wouldn’t work.
Your girlfriends family is being inappropriate, they should not be asking you for money, and your girlfriend should be drawing that boundary with them.
AND
The way you talk about your family and her family, I’m getting the strong sense that you look down on them, and maybe poor people in general. Maybe this isn’t true, I don’t know you, I’m just sharing that that’s how it sounded to me as I read this.
If your girlfriend isn’t willing to tell her family to back off from you and leave you alone, I personally would end it. It’ll get worse not better.
Just because you agree to one type of relationship in the beginning doesn’t mean you don’t have the right to change your mind. It also doesn’t mean he has to be on board.
If you want more than casual now, tell him. If he still doesn’t, you can either be okay with that (make sure you actually are okay with it or resentment and anxieties will eat you alive), or you can move on.
Learning what you want and don’t want, your boundaries and needs within any relationship are crucial and can take time, but once you know, it’s important to communicate and then act accordingly.
My husband promised that he would never look at porn.
Any guy who says that is making an outlandish bullshit claim. Unless there are layers of preventative measure put in place along with some type of ideology that they themselves believe in.
I guess what I’m asking is do I trust that he’s changed? Am I being irrational? I know my idea of porn is heavily skewed because of my father
Here is why I agree with your stance. You set your boundaries and expectations at the very start of this relationship. And he violated those by lying and hiding things from you. When he could have just been upfront and told you that it was something he could not promise to commit to.
—————————————————–
I haven’t caught him with actual porn in 4 years (outside of the instagram models) but I mean his phone and laptop are sterile, he’s on his phone all the time, but his history is nonexistent
When I (I’m white) was in an interracial relationship with a Black person and we moved in together after graduation, I specifically suggested we move somewhere with a higher black population, because I knew my bf would be more comfortable. I’m not saying this to praise myself or look like a good person but just because it authentically deeply bothers me that your boyfriend is not trying to understand how you feel on this one. When my ex bf and I moved to a new city and there were more Black people there than anywhere we had ever lived before he told me it was the first time he felt safe going grocery shopping in years. That is an important and meaningful thing that everyone should be able to make their own decision on how to navigate. It really bothers me that your boyfriend isn’t trying to understand this part of your experience as a Black person. I’m sorry you’re going through this. You deserve to be seen and validated. Sounds like your bf has a lot to learn.
I’m having trouble following who did what to who, but yes, she’s obviously not a good person. Why do you want to be associated with this dumpsterfire of a person?
Definitely do it in person, in a semi-public place.
“You know, i'm sorry to say this, but I think we've grown apart. I'm not really feeling this relationship anymore and I think it would be best for both of us if we moved on. You didn't do anything wrong, it just feels like its come to the natural end.”
If it were me, I’d be fine with her texting as long as she let you read them. Tell her if she deletes them or doesn’t let you read them you consider it cheating when communicating with an ex. I would not be ok with them getting together without me.
Should I ask her who that some people or someone was?
Heavens no. You want her to forget about them, not to be reminded.
You meet people and think, I could be in a relationship with them, but have no intention of perusing that relationship? … part of me thinks it's out of our control to have these semi-intrusive thoughts about relationship with other people … is it her who has broke the trust by having these thoughts, or are those thoughts okay, as long as she doesn't act on them?
This is contested territory, but it's important to know which side of the issue your partner is on.
I am very much on the side that says that most of us could probably make a go of it with any number of people. The idea, however, is that two people pick one another, and stick to it, as a point of honor. We continue to find other people attractive, and shouldn't be shocked that our partner does too. What one wants in a partner, however, above all else, is a person who can and will keep their commitments, despite the temptations to stray.
People who think their relationship depends on being the one and only person their partner could ever be attracted to are bound to be disappointed.
Your GF has no moral compass when it comes to marriage and relationships. You appear to be working under the assumption that what's in the past is in the past, but at the same time you are saying she was getting turned on telling you about it. This is her kink. And it will always be her kink. You are the “Nice Guy” that she's really not into but she's comfortable with. She 100 percent masturbates about it and probably fantasizes about him when you have sex with her.
Ask yourself, why is she so boring with me, but wasn't for him? The reality is that she's just not that into you. You're just the safe guy.
Hey, try not to be too harsh against yourself for that. You're perfectly normal and you don't seem dependent at all. Everyone needs some validation now and then.
You’re not on the same page at all so you’re going to compromise to death and still be unhappy because it doesn’t want to commit.
Girl, he suuucks.

It's the only time he likes her, when they have sex or she's sleeping

Goodness! This just keeps getting worse and worse. I don't think this guy actually likes you. I'm sorry, I know that probably hurts to read.
Part of modern society is that you might need that skill someday. So will your kids.
I am from a well off family and I was taught to cook as a teen. Think about it. You are less capable than a 14 go.
Two things both true here:
Your girlfriends family is being inappropriate, they should not be asking you for money, and your girlfriend should be drawing that boundary with them.
AND
The way you talk about your family and her family, I’m getting the strong sense that you look down on them, and maybe poor people in general. Maybe this isn’t true, I don’t know you, I’m just sharing that that’s how it sounded to me as I read this.

He has just gotten better at hiding it.
Do you nap often? Perhaps she feels like she has the kids more than you? No excuse for her rudeness however.
Jesus, that's not a sign of a healthy relationship.

You just made a excuse for a woman cheating on her husband. It is wrong or it is not.
Definitely do it in person, in a semi-public place.
“You know, i'm sorry to say this, but I think we've grown apart. I'm not really feeling this relationship anymore and I think it would be best for both of us if we moved on. You didn't do anything wrong, it just feels like its come to the natural end.”

If its part if him then he’s never gonna change. Or want to. And also its gross and bs that its “apart of him”
Should I ask her who that some people or someone was?
Heavens no. You want her to forget about them, not to be reminded.

Money freely given. Legally you owe her nothing. Morally it is up to your conscience.
Look you're almost 30 years old. Is this really something you want to deal with? There are plenty of ladies who can be a mature partner
Ohhh yOu gOt mE lmao
