We are not currently together! Read that twice. I can see whomever I want, sleep with whomever I want. Not that this is my primary focus right now but that would not be cheating!
There's no relationship for her to end with us right now. The only relationship she could end or try to end is my involvement or any future partners involvement with the child down the line. This is not a boundary, it is controlling!
” if we are not together and you end up being serious with someone else down the line, I will make sure that person has nothing to do with the child because I say so because “feels”, is a threat and would not be legally enforceable.
She has no right to say who I can and can't have around OUR child unless there is a risk.
I had actually told him calmly that I didn't like when he said this before. Then a couple of months went by and he said it again. And this time I got emotional and tried to tell him why I didn't like it. Tried to explain why and I started crying, it was making me emotional talking about it. He doesn't seem to understand why saying such a thing would make me upset. And this is what I don't understand… I don't get it….
Your post was removed for the following reason(s):
Your title did not include at least two ages/genders or was not formatted correctly
Posts must:
include details about the involved parties including ages, genders, and length of relationship, and
request advice in real situations involving two or more people
We are enforcing the two rules listed above by making all titles start with ages/genders in the following format:
[##X][##X], [## X][## X], or [##-X][##-X] where ## is the age and X is the gender (currently M, F, T, A, NB, FTM, MTF but more can be added). You can have more than two ages/genders listed, but you must have at least two at the beginning of your title. Here is an example:
Your mother became obese as a direct result of child sexual abuse and becoming a parent at 14. Not only did she overcome it completely in a healthy and supervised way, and maintained the progress, but you say she was an amazing parent and modeled healthy behaviors to you despite her own trauma.
Yet your wife wants to keep your child away from their grandmother – because she still has some extra weight on.
I don’t know what to say except your mom sounds like an absolute rockstar and your wife sounds utterly heartless.
Therapy is going to be a must going forward, or your wife is going to severely fuck up your child.
It definitely sounds like an absolute toilet of a situation, I mean, I said something about you know the mug isn’t the problem but your fella beat that by a mile or so by being humiliated over what was a goofy post. I am definitely the first to own that these posts can absolutely be incredibly hurtful but, his reaction here is highly disproportionate, especially given everything else you’ve said.
It tends to be best in situations where you’ve got one partner who is absolutely sure to try and prevent a divorce or a split in over the top ways- anything but actually address the concerns to just go, if you are able to. It’s definitely not easy, but after that first step, from the point where you’ve gotten out, the steps do tend to get a bit less overwhelming. I’m not an attorney and you should contact one, but you have access to all of your mutual resources, and you’d be within your rights to make use of those- if you want to keep the house or something along those lines, hashing it out in court tends to be a bit easier than getting this type to leave.
I trusted my husband to handle the situation. I went through a lot through those years with depression and anxiety around the family. I couldn’t see what was right in front of my face. That it needed resolved. But my husband’s way of handling problems is to brush them under the rug and pretend they don’t exist until they erupt like a volcano.
You fucked up by staying out all night and not reaching out. You gotta be on a short leash for a while until you rebuild trust. Accept your timeout graciously and it will go faster and smoother
I agree with you. Your talking about a private phone between two people in a long term relationship. Not a work/government work phone. (secure phone for sensitive material). The law has just as many shades of grey as we do in our lives.
Boundaries. People make simple matters complex. And we try and many times fail to rationalize right from wrong and try to forgive some really messed up shit!! If what he says is true. 3.5 years later he pulls an old phone out to use it. And finds some hurtful, emotionally damaging stuff on it.
Would you like your SO talking that stuff about you? Just saying. He found it by accident. To me, my significant other can use my phone 24/7, e-mail etc…
That's my mentality! I have nothing to hide period. Not that I would check on her but if I needed to use it, I use it and she can use mine.
This subject we're on will be ongoing for years to come. So lets agree to disagree. There's no right or wrong in this situation. In the end he found out she cheated and did some pretty shady shit. So who's right here? The shady chick that got away with it for over 3.5yrs or the dude that accidently found the stuff?
Ultimately it doesn't matter. Damage was done years ago. Who knows?! Only they do.
This is what I've been told, I don't think I dress this elegant actually! But everyone tells me so! It was to give a picture of how people see me For the assertiveness yes I am, I put it there because I was just describing myself and some people told me they were quite shocked by this trait. I come from a country where traditional women's roles and stereotypical gender attitudes are still loved unfortunately I don't think alt women are not assertive xD quite the contrary I got a myself vs them attitude because I was quite refused because how I look/dress so well, they have a ourselves vs her attitude too I suppose. Thank you for your answer, I will try to typecast less and I hope finding someone who is kind

That's what they all say.
who knows, all i know is when they do that, i am out.
I hope OP sees this comment!!!
So many unhelpful comments like “just relax” are higher voted :/
I'm not sure what you are getting at here.

Sounds like you have some issues with making your partner feel good… maybe start there instead of whining.

They have directly said I have one rule for them one rule for me

I agree!
You can do what you want with your own body. You shouldn’t feel you have to hide it from him. You’re not a child

I think I’m ready for a relationship “dumbass”

Exactly! This is like an anxiety response like you're in an abusive relationship or something. So sad.
