How's your hygiene? Do you shower and brush your teeth before a date? Kissing ability? Not too much spit? Do you chew with your mouth open or have bad manners? What are the conversations usually like? Need more Intel to maybe figure this out with you
Record her admitting that she is pitting your son against you and use that in court against her and get your son's custody. Get a court-mandated schedule for the custody and stick to it, no if, no buts, because she will try to rule your life by changing plans at the last moment when you have something planned. And keep a record of this all, everything she did, said, texts, emails, court documents everything. And gift the package to your son on his 18th birthday revealing what a freeloading, vile woman his mother is.
This is probably not what you want to hear, but I was married to someone like this, and tried to make it work for seven long years. In the end, I had to leave because living with someone that possessive of you is incredibly exhausting. By the end, I felt like I was just walking on eggshells 24 seven and I didn’t even feel like my old self anymore. Looking back, I can see all the ways that she tried to divide me from both friends and family along the way. Crazy stuff.
I mean you just seem sexually unparable.. Let him go and be happy with someone else and find you're self someone that likes the condom life in a steady relationship.. I know I wouldn't but I'm sure there's someone…
I never said it was a “lie” I just said there’s always that one fuckin person. The one person who always has some negative shit to say. Also, you can be “fit” but not “look” fit. Everyone’s bodies are different. I’ve played sports as a kid/into my teenage years. And then started hiking. While I’m still chunky; I can still handle plenty of far long distance hikes. And I don’t see that changing because I’m constantly being active. I’m just saying, I’ve seen chunky/chubby/“fat” people on plenty of hiking trails that are far in distance. The thing I’m laughing at, is people say their concerned for someone’s health; but 9/10 times they’re just concerned with the visible fat on their bodies. Not health in general. If people were so concerned about their loved ones health; they’d be looking at it as ALL of their health. Mentally and physically. It’s been proven if your mental health isn’t up to par; your physical health won’t be either. Surprise! I’ve got mental issues and it’s hand in hand with my physical health. Doctors said I should get a handle on my mental health before starting on my physical health. Op obviously is only pestering his girlfriend to look good. Cause if he was truly concerned; he’d be trying to support and help her through her mental issues. She’s depressed and drinking a lot. Something else is going on and the fact op can’t see what a jerk he is being is beyond me.
He says that I never have to worry about this behavior ever getting directed at me
Nope, people who talk a lot of shit about even their friends will talk shit about anyone. He’s probably already talking shit about you, and even if he isn’t, it’s only a matter of time.
But he keeps apologizing and saying that he’ll change his behavior.
A sincere apology includes acknowledgment of why the behavior is a problem and effort to change the behavior. So what he’s doing doesn’t sound like an apology but more of him just saying something to placate you. Trust your gut, as far as decent bf go, this guy ain’t it.
There is a popular saying in my country that mortgage binds you more than marriage. You have been together for only 9 months so I don’t blame him for not wanting to jump into that huge investment with you.
I wouldn’t focus on that but rather on fair (and acceptable to both of you) financial terms of your cohabitation.
do you want to split COL 50/50 or proportionally?
how does your COL change in the new area?
income disparity?
These are the items that should be up for discussion now and that should tell you a lot about how your future together will look like.
No just the fact that she had it with a guy in her past and she liked it and the first time we didn't go very far and she kind of enjoyed it that time so
This isn't your decision. She gets to break up with you and you just have to live! with it. She was kind enough to tell you why she was unsatisfied in the relationship so you can try to grow from that information. Take time to be hurt and sad and then move on with your life.
When I’m angry I take 20 minutes to go cool off. Maybe up to an hour. If I know I can’t continue the conversation without getting upset again, I say so. “We need to bench this issue for the time being.” And then I treat my husband as usual. I don’t ignore him. I definitely don’t ignore my kids.
He is being abusive. Him wanting to dole out punishments for first offenses with small infractions your son makes is also abusive. You and your son need to leave.
Have him go to a day program for a week and call his former manager, tell them he’s having a breakdown, tell him to pass along your husband’s sincere apologies to the office, and just ask for a good reference. Don’t ask for his job back. I think that’s too much.
I think you need to tell her that she needs to stop exploiting this guy. It is a bit immoral. All she needs is to know that she has his attention, she doesn’t need to mine it. This guy’s wife is the chump here, and his baby. Your wife sounds like a user.
they’re not negative, they just don’t tell you what you wanted to hear lol.
you make it the other person's problem or not
you don't if rejection means end of the friendship (it should); When you realy love someone, it's difficult to just be friends
A 33 year old man should be able to tell the difference between their SO scratching their leg and masturbating.

its just very confusing and infuriating but I honestly feel very better now from this conversation, i feel less crazy, thank u Lyfe_Waste3d 🙂
Wake him up standing in the doorway while he's sleeping and just walk back to your room
Yikes I don't think you have thought this advice through.
A predatory abusive 60 year old man is much more likely to interpret this as OP leading him back to her bed where he can assault her.
She should definitely not do this.

Those are vastly different core expectations for behavior in a monogamous relationship
I would absolutely not do that. To me it’s a respect thing. Like I was blown away she thought it was appropriate or ok to begin with
Info: why is he in rehab?
He says that I never have to worry about this behavior ever getting directed at me

Not a huge amount. I've always felt my hobbies were a burden
That's a lot of faith to put on a maybe.
Is she aware of your feelings towards this new girl? If not, you need to be honest.

Your husband is an insecure, sexist AH.

So refreshing to read. Especially as a CF SM who has a partner with a kiddo.

Yeah. I need some time I think I’m not sure. I feel really emotionally fragile right now. Everything feels bleak
