But if I Block him how would I see he unblocks me? I was thinking to say sorry via mitual friend or something but idk now. I think he has also things to apologize for
Yes. I mentioned in another comment that I have a good guy friend, but I didn't mention that we stay well away from that subject except in generalities!
It's one thing to look at a non-relative, but like an entire different world to ogle family. Yeah, it's fucking disgusting that he's ogling his own sister.
Find someone who doesn't have incest-y tendencies.
I have a different take. If she’s been in bad relationships, she’s used to a lot of DRAMA in her relationships. Trauma can make you feel unsafe in normal, aka boring situations because you don’t understand them.
Is this a red flag- maybe. She could be absolutely dump you because needs the drama or she could just be expressing her fear so this doesn’t happen.
I don’t think she’s calling you boring. I think she’s calling you STABLE and it’s t quite sure how to handle that, so she’s asking you to help while she gets used to it.
My kitten was left as baby w/o food, just abandoned and she’s half the size of the smallest cat I’ve ever seen because of malnutrition.
She gets food several times a day, treats all the time from my mom, and last year, half a can of food at night.
She HOWLS non-stop if her food bowl is half-empty. It’s gotta be filled ALL the time.
She’s not being mean and saying she doesn’t love me. We have a 2nd car who adopted her and is her daddy car. She gets scared he’ll be upset if there’s not enough food and blame her (not reading into it, she HOWLS, staring at him, and then let’s him eat first.)
My point is trauma doesn’t go away just because you got 4-5 meals a day, are inside a home, and have loving people and animals around you.
I think you just aged out of what he’s into. Maybe once you hit 24 he just doesn’t want to continue things. Younger women are better for content creation.
I mean, it was normal (and still is in some places) for men to have their “pure” wives for babies and side pieces for sex as long as humans have existed. Get tested asap.
This sounds like a very toxic relationship. He’s supposed to be your partner, your best friend. Sounds more like he’s trying to treat you like property and control you. You should consider if you want to online like this for the rest of your life. Do you want your child growing up thinking this is acceptable behavior?
Had this with my ex she just kept saying therapy made her feel bad so I’d drop it. Now we are apart I realise she just didn’t want to face the reality of her behaviour and how it hurt people. It’s a lot easier to lie to yourself when nobody dares call you out
I know it’s not my place to get involved in their relationship, but if I were in his shoes, I’d want to know if I was being cheated on.
You've already written your own answer.
Do the right thing, be honest with him. You don't need to write an essay, have it turned into a screenplay or broadcast on international online television – just be honest.
Think of it this way – if you were in his shoes, you'd want to know. You already know you feel he should do, so do the right thing.
I have PCOS and had to have fertility treatments (which finally worked) but my Dr had me on a vaginal suppository through the first trimester to minimize miscarriage risk as hormones figured themselves out. (It was over a decade ago now and I can’t recall what it was).
So you got cheated on. How much trust and respect have you lost in her? I would be very hung up on the fact that she was obviously prepared to go to the grave with this fact and never reveal it to you. Are you going to look at her with any degree of respect any more? Is this relationship worth continuing?
I think the fact that there were so many lies, so much hiding and avoiding the truth that I could never trust her fully again, and if you can't trust your own partner fully, what's the point of being with them at all? She only came clean, despite the chlamydia tests, despite the questions and doubt, when you found concrete evidence that she'd cheated. This woman betrayed you, infected you and didn't even have the decency to admit it once the evidence started to come to light. Your neutrality is most likely your feelings being suppressed, because real life is so much more textured and nuanced than any speculative considerations of such a position, and you will eventually come to the realisation that your girlfriend knowingly put your health at risk and continued the charade rather than come clean, so not only is she a cheat who betrayed you but she is willing to die in silence rather than own up to it. Fuck that girl, she deserves to be out of your life to be honest.
Except (source: Shirley Glass PhD “NOT 'Just Friends' “) I does. Her opening line:
“GOOD PEOPLE in good marriages are having affairs.”
Decades of research into infidelity, hundreds of couples counseled, and it is clear: people who never imagined themselves in an affair have one. It is less a product of planning to cheat and more of allowing lines to blur. It is an incremental process that allows people to slowly move from friendly into an emotional and/or physical affair.
Having an opposite sex person in an ongoing private area (or one filled with unknowing or uncaring onlookers) is a disaster waiting to happen. The conditions exist to develop an affair without the wayward spouse realizing the danger until long after the damage is done.
From page 3 of that book:
“After reviewing twenty-five studies, however, I concluded that 25 percent of wives and 44 percent of husbands have had extramarital intercourse. This is startling news indeed.”
She used to “try”, but is also medicated for some mental issues. It's never been this bad. She takes a *lot* of adderall because of ADHD, and she blames that for a lot of her shortcomings. I try to tell her to get into routines, not sleep all morning long and maybe put herself on a regular work schedule, but I'm tired of repeating myself. I feel like she hardly goes to work ever, but she insists on us keeping this giant 2k/month house. I don't get it.
She already has someone else in mind that she wants to have sex with, and there is a good chance that she has already cheated with this person and is trying to retroactively make that OK to avoid her having any guilt
Unless you are OK with her getting all excited and dressed up to go out on dates and have sex with another person, it's time to break up. Bottom line is that she isn't into you anymore, and she wants to move on.
I've looked through so many comments, tons of people are asking for more specifics on the fraud thing (like, did he screw over some poor innocent individual or was it a victimless business thing?) and I can't find an answer, which is suspicious to me.
I know someone who got to a vulnerable old woman and stole 250,000+ from her by taking her checks, tricking/threatening her into letting him put properties into his name that he used to collect rent dues, and getting her vehicles into his name that he sold. She had to go from owning her own home and properties to living with family members and being supported by them. He ruined her life. She's got PTSD from him threatening her with violence. He got like 2.5 years in the end( and came out just as much of a selfish dick as ever, no, prison didn't magically turn him into a really nice guy).
Two and a half years. And you're telling me this guy got ELEVEN? Tell us wtf he did or I'm just going to have to assume it's something really bad tbh.
13 year relationship here and I know how you feel because in some forms (at least for me) you feel like your abandoning them and you’ve done all you can do to help or fix it. No one likes ultimatums but perhaps giving him a timeline to get help and holding him accountable might be a last ditch effort. If he doesn’t get help, conserve your own mental health and consider your next steps for moving on.
Maybe but that sounds like a terrible idea.
Time may have passed but you’ve not described any personal change or growth.
You’re still the same people, you’re even attacked to the same things about him.
What would make another go any different ?
But if I Block him how would I see he unblocks me? I was thinking to say sorry via mitual friend or something but idk now. I think he has also things to apologize for
Your predicament hurts my heart. There are a lot more patient men out there with self control. Your boyfriend isn't one of those guys
Yes. I mentioned in another comment that I have a good guy friend, but I didn't mention that we stay well away from that subject except in generalities!
Are they Milk related? In Islam its forbiden if two not blood related Babys are breast feeded from one woman. We say to it Mother trough her Milk
UpdateMe!
It's one thing to look at a non-relative, but like an entire different world to ogle family. Yeah, it's fucking disgusting that he's ogling his own sister.

Some guys like to be the one to make her finish. Find yourself that kind of guy. 100% worth it.
No it is not.
How do you know she didn't encourage him to keep the trip he had been planning for a while?
Bruh you can’t be this naive but hey you want to find out the very hot way
Broooooo….she's 36. And you're 23!? Broooooo.
You told her you weren't ready to move in or have a kid right now (good decisions), yet she isn't respecting your choice.
She could have poked holes in the condoms she had at her house.
Go with your gut. If you think she's cheating…but she still texts her ex husband…hmm…she went to his house and came back really happy…hmm
You believe her excuses are bullshit.
She won't do a DNA to prove it's yours…hmm…until it's born? That's probably too late for you, legally.
Bro. Do you want to be with this shit? You're 23. You don't need this shit in your life. Get out.
If the baby is really yours (and you both don't want to abort), end the relationship and wait until it's born.
We had to increase our internet service plan to accommodate for the kids and I being at home during the pandemic.
We change our thermostat based on if we are home or not.
Ok you don't seem to understand how feelings work?
I think you just aged out of what he’s into. Maybe once you hit 24 he just doesn’t want to continue things. Younger women are better for content creation.

I’m sorry you went through that.
She needs to stay with your dad. She is not in any danger. So no need to completely disrupt your life or marriage to have her move.
Either she wants to be married to you or she was married prior and is used to introducing her “date” as her husband.
Ask her and let us know.
I know it’s not my place to get involved in their relationship, but if I were in his shoes, I’d want to know if I was being cheated on.

Stop cooking for him. His snotty attitude and lack of gratitude? That alone would put me off.
If he wants something homemade, he can knock himself out. If he wants to eat shit fast food, that's his decision.
Please do not have children with this person.
Completely agree, they're expensive places, why not ask for what you want?
Cool. I also think saying “I understand why it happened” when someone targets and murders sex workers is bad.
Even though they could opt out of being sex workers.
That is a subreddit. To tag a user you have to put u/ not r/
Right, there's like so many layers of “ew, no” here.

This is the danger.
Have you gotten your hormones checked?

I agree not to say the truth. No need. Just tell her you aren't interested in her romantically but want to be friends.

Was the stupid game… OP sharing a moment of vulnerability with her partner?
She doesn’t sound mature enough to be in a healthy relationship.
Well, deal with it. You messed it up. She's right!
