Simply being ‘mean’ to your child and making him cry is more than enough reason to break up with this man. The statistics on child abuse in homes where the man is not the biological father of the child is horrifying. If he stays it’s highly likely to escalate. You are doing the right thing for your child, who should be the most important person in your life right now.
Been trying to help my dad find someone his own age for about 20 years since my parents divorced and he is now 60 still trying to get with 21 year olds with “hard body” because they are “hot” ?
He was rich before but now he is old, broke and handicap and still thinks these girls want to be with him and acts surprised when they ask for money or drugs.
I barely have a relationship with him now and I just had a daughter of my own but I don’t want him around her especially as she gets older…
He offered counseling and whatnot so that’s why I didn’t leave immediately, I wanted time to think. Then made the mistake of going through the phone so yeah. That’s why I’m asking for advice.
Makes you think if there are any unexplainable incidents with other people/things happened around OP, that can be explained by the wife going behind her back and doing something vile.
People are downvoting you because if he's doing this there is no way he will admit to it, just communicating with your spouse is all fine and dandy unless they are insane enough to be putting nail clippings in your drink.
That's not true. I am absolutely terrified of BO and very diligent in avoiding it – for example, I know that I can very rarely get away without a daily shower, I never wear tops with sleeves more than once without washing them, I reapply deodorant or change during the day when necessary, but I absolutely use natural deodorant. You do need to know your body more to use them, though, people are very different in their hygienic needs.
I once had a girlfriend who, in hindsight, was a horrible human being, but to this day I'm jealous because she has close to no body odor, with the exact same routine as me (also female). She could wear shirts and, at the end of the day, fold them and put them away and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference to freshly laundered ones. It was wild.
Yeah, but the problem is you can’t have it both ways. If you wanna make a good living the jobs that pay like this, draws you away from your family. And if I go back to work a job at home, it makes it difficult to make a living and be comfortable, this is something that me and my wife had a discussion about before I took this job. We were both under the understanding that it was going to be difficult but we will both do our best and work at it and I am doing everything in my power to make this work for us if what I have to do is take a lower paying job so I can be at home more then that’s what I will do but just want you to understand this isn’t something that was unknown to both of us whenever I took this job.
Please contact the police. You apprehended a burglar and saw them off. That’s not against the law in the U.K. Your girlfriend is in shock. It must have been terrifying.
You are coming accross to her as controlling. There is a difference between boxers and a woman's clothing.
Next time keep it generic. A simple, “I'm taking you some place special tomorrow night. Its a bit more formal than we usually go to – more like dress/skirt/nice pants type of place.” She will decide what she feels best in. That way you set the expectation for the level of formality but you are not coming accross as controlling.
It IS a problem to ask her to wear something specific. I won't even tell my teens to do that. A simple “we're going to a dressy restaurant with your grandparents” has the same effect. Telling them which outfit to wear… that is a hot no.
Because he doesn’t need a picture of you he knows exactly what you look like. He knows the feeling of every inch of your skin. He knows what you taste like and your smell and he can imagine it vividly and he probably does often but sometimes it’s fun to do something different and he sees you every single day. He doesn’t need a picture, but if you want to give him a picture, he would probably love boudoir photos if you can find a photographer you try to take some sexy shots of you and some fun lingerie or corsets in his nice high-heeled with hair done and make up on. I bet you he loves that sexy photo of you and treasure it it
i get that i did. i didn’t necessarily ghost him i just didn’t text him for 48hrs & he flipped out. i just find it dramatic after not speaking to me for 3 months but thank you i will just go for it 🙂
I heard that too! Luckily our apartment is actually a decent size but the way it’s laid out makes it very hot to have more than three boxes. Will definitely be getting another diffuser though!
Men are conditioned from birth to think our physical ability is directly related to our value and that if we’re not valuable we don’t deserve good things. I struggle with this all the time with my partner, and it does take awareness and effort not to enforce the conditioning I was raised under. This guy has clearly not become aware of the way that his conditioning affects the way he treats his wife, and he needs to. But men are existentially damaged by patriarchy and most of us have these insecurities even if we check them. It’s wrong, but we deserve understanding in dealing with them.
Honestly, I would find another apartment. I would move everything out that is dear to you and store at a friends house. Break your lease. At most you are liable for two months rent for one month.
If she is violent towards you, have you contacted the police and reported her behavior? Have you researched whether you have grounds for protective order against her? Is there a domestic relations court or family court?
Not societally equivalent. Men can literally go running without shirts on in public and expose their nipples to the world every day. Women on the other hand are so hypersexualized that it would have a much more “risqué” connotation.
Stupid to date coworkers, really stupid to get engaged to someone you've been dating for 7 months. I have condiments in my fridge that I have a longer and stronger relationship with.
You choose your fate… 6 years deep into a relationship… And now you're thinking about lack of sex… Buddy… People have already been married and divorced in 6 years …
Evidently there is more context.. probably a friend…
Literally anyone you are friends with on Facebook being connected in any way to someone can lead to them being suggested
Never say your sorry for ridiculous things. Especially this !!!!
That's emotional manipulation. I can't offer a solution, but that's what that is.

That's understandable. I'm not sure what “hard on him” looks like

It’s Reddit, a lot of weird shit goes down here.

It means she is stressed and overwhelmed, and is making the only change that she CAN right now. Accept it and walk away gracefully.
Run for the hills! Everything you described here is problematic. People don’t normally hide in the bathroom to put a condom on, for starters

Buddy, you have a lot to learn.

Just because you’ve done something for a long time doesn’t mean you should keep doing it. Your boyfriend is a bad habit you need to stop.
I’m not condoning the cheating btw. But your partner emotionally abandoned you at a time of great need so I can see how/why it happened.
Don’t start things up again with him. When people show you who they are, believe them.
Because he doesn’t need a picture of you he knows exactly what you look like. He knows the feeling of every inch of your skin. He knows what you taste like and your smell and he can imagine it vividly and he probably does often but sometimes it’s fun to do something different and he sees you every single day.

It's a sucker punch move on his part. Don't give in. He only wants to hurt you again.
i get that i did. i didn’t necessarily ghost him i just didn’t text him for 48hrs & he flipped out. i just find it dramatic after not speaking to me for 3 months but thank you i will just go for it 🙂
Call the police, this is a crime
Great comment, honestly i just want to know if telling her how I feel is a good idea as she's a very understanding person
It seems you don’t trust her, and you shouldn’t. That would be enough for me.

No. Needing space means exactly that. I cannot believe that you're still with this dude.
Well there ya go
