Well you do need the help from your boyfriend and he is spot on what you have to do.
Yes you do need a rutine so you do not get frustrated in the morning ( with the make up) And no matter what .. it is what you need 7-9-76 times you get frustrated.
So.. you need to get help in therapy HOW to make those spoons.
Your boyfriend is telling you what you need help to fix, he is not invalidating you at all. You are lost and need help – he knows and tell you what you need help for
Not everyone is privileged and you don't know my life. What if I was someone who had to live in hotels or a shelter or a trailer park because I don't have a home? What if I were living off paycheck to paycheck and hardly had enough to pay the historically high taxes in our economy? What if I myself am attacked for things in my life while he sits pretty because our society doesn't disrespect his identity?
I'm allowed to be who I am and believe what I want as much as he does. I'm not jamming it down his throat. I don't breakdown and I certainly wouldn't film a TikTok of me breaking down like other people because the person I voted for didn't win. I don't throw a party and rub it in his or anyone else's face because the person I voted for did win. All because I show respect. All I ask is for the same. “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” That's my family's motto.
This is probably better suited for r/sex but be sure to read their community guidelines before posting because I’m not 100% sure. Regardless, this forum is for requesting advice and this post doesn’t fit.
it sounds like she was trying to get you to spend more time with her. She probably hoped to talk about it and make you understand she feels neglected. Maybe suggesting a breakup was meant to tell you she will break up if things don't change, or maybe it was a bad bluff.
Instead of trying to understand how she feels or talking to her to work out the problem, you just said “ok bye then” and left. If you're really heartbroken, talk to her?
/u/99probsbutadogaint1 I’m with this person because, well.. I do still love and care for them. When times are good, they’re indisputably so so good. When we have those moments, it reminds me of the person I fell for initially. I moved out of my own town, and moved in with them in their hometown so I have become quite fond of their friends, family and other community members. There’s definitely a level of love and attachment there and the thought of having to leave everything behind, and also knowing that in my absence she’ll probably get into their heads and turn them against me.. hurts me to my core.
We have a few pets together, 1 of which I came into the relationship with. I can’t leave the others behind though. I don’t trust her to care for them on her own, I take care of like 90% of our pet care. And truthfully, I don’t think my heart will allow me to just leave them anyway. But she insists that if anything were to happen then we’d do a “split custody” kind of situation.. but with our animals lol. Hell will be raised if not. Stuck between a rock and a hot place on that one.
Thank you. I will try to be more understanding. He has had problems with sex our whole relationship due to sexual /grooming trauma. I think I’m not being considerate enough.
Regarding that last bit, yeah, I’m well aware of that and it has been the main reason for not rushing into anything. As for the rest of your comment, you make a good case and it seems like I’m partially battling my own hurt ego here as well. I think you’re right and maybe this was part of her healing, taking back some ownership of her life as well as choosing her own needs after being emotionally abused for so long. The fact that she stated throughout our talks that she had ‘no need for anyone else during this time’ makes it a much grayer area to be honest. Even if not explicitly stated, even though we weren’t officially together it didn’t feel like we were completely ‘single’ as well; but I’m not sure I could fault her on technicalities or my own feelings on the where we stood.
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:
Omg they are babies. My mom showers with my kids all the time and they are much older. I, their mother shower with my kids and my husband does too. It’s practical and fun!
Listen to yourself. Why do what he wants when you could do what you want? In this case, that means NOT sleeping with someone you don’t know under the pressure of someone you do!
Again he made it clear he's gotten nothing and will not do so. Nothing in his comments indicates he has gotten a letter. Nothing in his comments shows that they are upset in anyway that he's not getting anything only that his sister asked that he buy something too. Nothing in the comments shows he's ever asked if a non monetary gift would be acceptable.
I feel like you're attacking my post that had over and over again made it absolutely clear I feel a non monetary gift is in order. Instead you keep bringing money to my post that has OVER AND OVER made clear he shouldn't spend money. I'm talking about playing with monopoly money but for some reason you keep trying to make it about buy real houses which I don't understand…
Yes he is getting gifts that he's accepting and not pushing back on which is nice but he's still ignoring any human empathy which could be shown with a simple card. You can definitely hold strong on the fact that he's made everyone uncomfortable by not doing showing love and empathy with the rest of the family but it's still just op deciding to show the family he doesn't care enough to do the bare minimum on the holiday. Again I point you to my numerous analogies because in any other situation this is shitty behavior.
Of course in all of these situations it is ok to have boundaries but it makes 0 sense to participate in the part of the event you don't want to be part of then get mad that people don't feel comfortable with it.
She's going to need to plan for how to care for the baby on a day to day basis, before the baby gets here. If you walk out the day the baby is born, or a week or month later, you're going to spend months with her trying to set up a new nursery and new support structure, while having to care for the baby. If you tell her now, then she can have all of that in place when before the baby is born.
If anything like that happens again, either get up and leave or call the police as she is acting dangerously disturbed. Do not ever sit and let someone, anyone, scream at you. And sure as hell not for a half-hour.
It's an invasion of privacy and anybody with some self esteem will refuse.
I have nothing to hide on my phone, nothing at all, but I'd still point blank refuse to allow my gf to see it, not that she ever has, because she has some manners.
OP has put in edits and comments many times now they've gone through just about all options and it's been difficult and hasn't ever worked. Maybe don't suggest something they've specifically said they don't want to discuss further.
Continuing without a resolution to this issue will likely be detrimental to your mental health. IMO he must conform to relationship norms if he wants to be with you. That means divorce and no contact. If he can't do that, then you must move on for your own sake. This isn't an easy task, but wil IMO best serve you. Just my thoughts offered for your consideration. Best wishes.
I agree fingers can smell, that’s why I said what I did about hand washing. I believe that you can smell it on most smokers. If you read my comment to the end, I literally said to quit.
But if you can’t quit, my suggestions 100 percent will definitely lessen the smell. It isn’t in clothes forever.
I'm sorry this is happening. Honestly..let them think what they want. If they want to believe her then let them but dont let her bullying slide. Next time she looks at your weird or winks, call it out loudly “we! Why are you being so creepy?!” Then just walk away. If shes rude just respond “I dont talk to people I dont like” and walk away. Dont give her the time of day and stop staring at her lol. Ignore her very existence. Guarentee it makes her amp up her crazy and she slips infront of everyone.
I have an ex bully married to my cousin. I legit called him out when I found out they got married and said infront of everyone “oh wow, I guess my white trash family is good enough for you after all? Or is it just cuz shes half Hispanic? But I thought you didnt like wet*****?” He got purple in the face and tried to laugh it off but my uncle Jose kicked him out the cookout lol. Now when we see each other he avoids me at all cost and just nods politely when around my aunties.
Cheers to the ladies that do! I couldn’t. I would want to talk to the wife to make sure he wasn’t lying, and then when we talk I know we’re gonna be friends, and I can’t sleep with my friends’ husbands ?

I'm gonna look out for my man. I can see how vaginas look like a shitty stack of pancakes. He fucked up. Maybe tell him about your history of bullying and tell him you'll need time to get over it.
I don't expect me saying this to make you feel any less hurt. I also don't expect him to be able to do anything to make you feel better. The best he can do is to not let it happen again and understand where you're coming from. I'm sorry this happened to you and hope you feel better about yourself soon

Sounds like it's time to move on.
How do I catfish though do I make up a fake profile ?
What a tool

Yeah, it is a red flag.
And yeah, it is a red flag that you think you're going to be back together and happy…
Ex is ex for a reason.
No legit therapist will become a couples therapist after being someone's individual therapist. That is a big red flag.
Omg they are babies. My mom showers with my kids all the time and they are much older. I, their mother shower with my kids and my husband does too. It’s practical and fun!
A whole lot of excuses and no effort made to fix the issue. She's letting you know very clearly that she doesn't care to fix this issue.
Move on or you'll be in a relationship full of resentment.
Listen to yourself. Why do what he wants when you could do what you want? In this case, that means NOT sleeping with someone you don’t know under the pressure of someone you do!

I think you are misunderstanding, she never insisted on a ffm, she was also down for mmf.
If anything like that happens again, either get up and leave or call the police as she is acting dangerously disturbed. Do not ever sit and let someone, anyone, scream at you. And sure as hell not for a half-hour.
Honestly don’t feel much with girls but I thought it was normal. Not sure what I want exactly so I’m just gonna wait and see where it goes
This is what my grandma taught me to do. Choose for them by removing yourself. This is a no-win situation for you.
Don't ask.
It's an invasion of privacy and anybody with some self esteem will refuse.

You have been way more tolerant than I.
In your position I would offer her two choices marriage counseling or divorce.
Alternatively, you could go for counseling on your own to either help you cope or make the difficult decisions.
Good luck
Tell her to grow up. Hasn’t she ever changed a diaper? M and F Nurses at the hospital do it all the time and more.
No, the lease is on her name, i will be paying for my part of groceries and utilities.
Check her social media from 4/5 years ago
She tried it, she's not comfortable in her body now, and she's probably going to lose weight or at least stop trying to gain.
You accept it because she has to live in her body all the time.
Yea..
She monkey branched to OP lol. She was seeing other men while having OP as an option in the pocket.
ur a cunt

Yes
The most important thing to look for in a partner is what they do not what they say.
I agree fingers can smell, that’s why I said what I did about hand washing. I believe that you can smell it on most smokers. If you read my comment to the end, I literally said to quit.
But if you can’t quit, my suggestions 100 percent will definitely lessen the smell. It isn’t in clothes forever.
Why?
Or just tell him up front that given his recent actions, you no longer wish to continue the friendship and ask him not to contact you going forward.
Let him do his thing. It’s not your life.
You are just talking about opportunity.
You can remember fond feelings for exs, but you shouldn't want to be with an ex whilst in a relationship.
I like my ex but won't do anything because I will choose bf over ex, boils down to if you weren't in a relationship you might get back with your ex.
Doesn't seem like things have ended enough.
You both are not over old relationships and this one is doomed to expire.
I'm sorry this is happening. Honestly..let them think what they want. If they want to believe her then let them but dont let her bullying slide. Next time she looks at your weird or winks, call it out loudly “we! Why are you being so creepy?!” Then just walk away. If shes rude just respond “I dont talk to people I dont like” and walk away.

Cheers to the ladies that do! I couldn’t. I would want to talk to the wife to make sure he wasn’t lying, and then when we talk I know we’re gonna be friends, and I can’t sleep with my friends’ husbands ?
