Oh good fucking lord, you're 18 and your girlfriend doesn't trust you for shit, do not get married, you're just going to be divorced by 22. Dump her, move on.
just be there. you don't need to say anything profound or magical. it isn't like there's much you can do or say that will really help. If there are things she needs actual help with (shopping for funeral clothes š , ride to the airport, etc) yes do those things. Otherwise just be there and listen and don't make her talk either.
I find it helpful to ask people if they want me to distract them with other non-tragedy-related stuff, because sometimes that's helpful but sometimes it seems insensitive.
Also, after this, I mean weeks or months from now, she will still be hurting. It takes a long time to recover from a shock like this. And other people don't know what to say and feel uncomfortable around people who are grieving and they “don't want to bother you during this difficult time” so it can be really isolating. Try to not let that happen with you. Just be around and let her be sad with you.
You two have a lack of trust and communication. He sounds like an inconsiderate douche. You deserve better. Tell him no condoms no sex. Heāll change his mind and start using condoms. If you donāt want to get pregnant, using birth control AND condoms is a smarter and safer choice. When my childfree husband and I first got together, and for a long time afterwards, we used condoms and birth control. Then he offered to get a vasectomy which has only made everything better.
First find out whether there is something medical going on. This sounds like a personality change, so possibly hormonal? Depression? Alcoholism? Drugs?
In the meantime try āgrey rockā. No response. Behave as if she said nothing at all. Walk away, and, most importantly, get your child away from her when sheās behaving like that.
I hate it when adult people are like “I and forced to… ” NO you are not. You have free will here and can make a choice. The language is just so manipulative, you cat tell its design to remove the accountability from the OP. So stuff just happens to them, they are the passive victim, and the gf is the villain/one with power. Nope, OP, you are an adult man. You are making your own decisions. People can ask you for stuff, or even demand stuff, and you get to decide if you will entertain it or not. If you decide to entertain it, it's your responsibility.

You under illusion that you have some kind of control over this situation. You donāt. Unless you force alcohol down his throat, itās not on you. Itās him, your fiancĆ©e, who ruined it all: waste expensive wedding, disappointing your kids and everything else that comes along with that. I am daughter of alcoholic. Believe me, itās sinking boat and he will get you and your kids with him. You still think thatās he was temporarily replaced with someone violent stranger and things will go back to ānormalā when he is sober. You are wrong. This person IS him. He will hurt you without doubt. Protect yourself and your children. Sending hugs from virtual stranger lady ?
