I don’t know why people are telling OP it’s his job to dump his girlfriend. He clearly communicated his feelings about marriage. She’s the one whose not being clear about hers (saying it wasn’t okay yesterday and today saying it’s apparently fine). She’s the one who needs to figure out what she wants and break up with OP or stay with him and accept they won’t get married.
I’m assuming she’s still processing the whole conversation and figuring out what to do next. Not everyone breaks up instantaneously after “that” conversation. Some people need more time. OP, I would reiterate to your girlfriend that your views on marriage aren’t going to change/she can’t “influence you” to change your mind.
He was not sleeping. He was faking. You were assaulted against your consent. Sorry that happened to you. Friends don't sexually assault their friends. No matter how nude he tries to gaslight you do not loose assurance regarding what actually happened. Don't let him confuse you about weather it happened, weather he was asleep, or if it was intentional.
This, I feel like majority of these people commenting are really young and haven’t figured out how to phase out from teenage relationships to adult relationships yet.
And a lot of them aren’t familiar with healthy dynamics, like compromise. It’s not the same as always giving it. It’s about balancing both sides of a situation to find a middle ground where it makes both feel seen, heard, understood, and creates positive connection.
Also many, notice this red flag behavior, seem to lack healthy coping skills and bad communication skills for relationships.
My partner and I use this phrase, “Use your words”, when the other is feeling a bit reluctant to talk about something but wants to. It nudges either of to take a pause, formulate our thoughts, then open up to communicate.
You can tell by the downvotes many grew up with care givers who displayed unhealthy communication and selfish patterns of behavior to the point it’s showing all over the comments.
Like they don’t see the root cause of this entire situation.
Restaurant was packed, Op had two choices his car or home. But partner is breaking a habit with food to loose weight. The food Op bought is her trigger food while she is doing this. And a compromise is don’t come in the house with this specific food till she gains self control and feels at place weight wise to even enjoy it again. It doesn’t take much to check in, not about the food, but your partners emotional and mental state about such things.
I get her response, not the best. Maybe she hadn’t learned how to self sooth and learn to express her needs directly. Some people weren’t give these tools in youth and then going into adulthood haven’t figured out how to undo this behavior yet. Not every mine is blessed with deep self awareness of their issues and isn’t aware in how to solve them.
So I wish more folks in the comments who stop racing to impulsively blaming, but actually take a long look at how this could of been more effectively handled❤️
You need to sit him down, face to face, for a brutally honest, heartfelt conversation. He needs to be made aware that you are one person. You are not a superhero with super powers. You are doing the best you can. It's time for him to pitch in and start doing his part with his baby. It took both of you to make the child. It takes both of you to raise the child.
Tell him while this baby is an infant, 100% reliable on you for everything, that somethings will have to take a backseat.
If he wants special time with you, he needs to make it. Hire a babysitter and take you out. Then, he should take you home and treat you like the queen you are.
I still gag when I go down on men or women its my own thing nothing wrong with them and I like pleasuring them. But it's my own issue I very much doubt you have anything wrong he just needs to get desensitized and or figure out a way past it. For me I started eating a mint before of something like that, added some flavoring deff shower me and my partner will wipe ourselfs a little before with a pH safe wipe and or washcloth for sweat,piss and anything extra but not too much so we don't destroy our natural biome.
If that was my bf I would say tf no you aren’t. He will share no bed room with no girl or it’s over. This isn’t such a factor of trust rather of respect. If she does this she does not respect you
I don't really know what top tell you except that what he did was unacceptable, and if he can't find a way to get consent from you without ruining the moment, then he shouldn't try anything at all. Asking if someone wants sex from you is IMPORTANT, and he should settle for nothing less than ENTHUSIASTIC CONSENT. Not a, “no” and then you enjoying the massage you thought he was giving you because he loves you, and not just as a precursor for sex that you already said no to.
You should be 100% committed to doing what's right for you both… Why be committed to preserving the marriage if the marriage isn't working? I'm not saying you have to give up here, just don't hang all your hopes on it working out because currently, it looks like your wife doesn't care too much about that – and it takes two to go the distance – you can't just will it into happening by yourself.
Your wife is emotionally cheating on you. That's a big thing to deal with and you should accept not being married in the future may be the healthier alternative.
Also, regarding your wife's stringent standards for your workplace friendships and paranoia over cheating, this is called projection. Your wife was so suspicious of your relationships with women because she either A) couldn't imagine having a similar relationship and not cheating and/or B) craves validation and attention – driving her to cheat on you while remaining paranoid that you are doing the same to her.
Side note: It's pretty weird that there's a term that could possibly be conflated though. Like the fact that “as young as possible“ is a thing makes me… feel kinda gross about it in general. And you just have to be like “oh yeah but they don't really mean that, it's just for clicks” I mean… Oh well.
This relationship is already over. She’s made it clear she doesn’t intend to respect it or try to fix it through her actions.
The only thing you need to decide is how painful you want this breakup to be. You can either break it off now, or you can do it a 1-3 months from now after she runs off with the first guy she cheats on you with.
yeah but in America we can’t afford to use said ambulances so we just uber to the hospital

Your wife is an emotional black hole. She needs therapy or something, I would not be able to deal with this for long.

Hope you learn how to be a decent human, bitch.

If he wants special time with you, he needs to make it. Hire a babysitter and take you out. Then, he should take you home and treat you like the queen you are.
If you are going to make the right choices it should be because they are the right choices not so your family will see and take you back?

Id rather be punched in the face than be spat on

Yeah, nopeing out. How does a grown-ass woman think this is ok?
This sounds like a movie where you discover he’s already married…
That sounds very dedicated. Well put and done.

Hey dude, women get wet without your spit. Your post would be like suggesting guys can't get hot without a girl sucking on it.
This relationship is already over. She’s made it clear she doesn’t intend to respect it or try to fix it through her actions.
