But now we are here, so OP can't really say anything. Jan hasn't said anything fur y years so he isn't going to now no one she knows, so best leave this in the past.
I don't know about letting it go I think that may be impossible for you. I do know you have to let the guy have some peace and quiet or he will go find some. I broke up with my last LTR over something similar (no cheating but I told her I didnt want to on-line together as I knew it would be exhausting on so many levels I just couldn't). Once I had given her back her stuff the wave of relief knowing she would now have to leave me the fuck alone was incredible. I fear that your husband may do the same if he isn't able to just unwind and think about anything other than how he got drunk and kissed some rando.
Doesn't he have a right to know the child is his, the same way you know? Trust is fine so long as it's not blind. He has an option the ensure he doesn't waste 18 years of his life and his financial security and doesn't put an emotional investment on a child that isn't his. If your parents told you to pay off their mortgage and they would leave you the house in the will, wouldn't you want a contract stating so? Its not about not trusting it's about being careful. Most men out there forced to pay child support for kids that aren't theirs is because they blindly trusted.
Hmm, I’m not sure I agree. I think both partners need to be mindful of each other, and that includes respecting another persons grief. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, and there is no timeline because grief is for life. And yes, it’s important for the person we’re dating to know what role the late person plays and what our process is, but for someone to get in a relationship and then expect you to change how you feel or how you deal with the loss is not ok.
I will say that though, the grief you feel never goes away. My dad has been gone many years and there is just no amount of therapy that can take it away. You just learn to cope with it and let it grow smaller with time, but it will always be there. And there’s no right or wrong way to go about it. I still very much talk to my dad and have photos of him around the house, we talk about him and all laugh at the completely hilarious situations he used to get himself in.
If someone is not comfortable with the way we grieve then absolutely that is their boundary to set – then it becomes a mismatch and both should look for a relationship elsewhere. Boundaries are something we can only set for ourselves, not for other people
It was an example. She never said why the remodel must happen. It could be a 40 year old kitchen or not functional. Some designs are terrible. Watch any of the home remodel shows and you'll see that some kitchens are terrible. If he didn't want to remodel the kitchen, he could have bought a house that didn't need work. No matter what, you don't pay for a remodel on a house you don't own. That is a bad financial move.
I think you mean “ex-boyfriend.” Seriously, why would you entertain some dude who’s only interested in getting his rocks off? You can’t make him care about you more than he actually does, as sad as that is

This is the equivalent to constantly opening the fridge looking for food when you’re hungry. You open it, decide you don’t want anything, so you close it and walk away, you keep going back until you’ve lowered your standards enough to eat something in there. He’s not the guy for you, you’re just lowering your standards for him.
First of all, start taking responsibility for your own actions. Stop blaming her for all your woes in life. Get some spine, take a course of action and commit to it.
Second, see my first point again and also stop trying to be a friend to her. It rarely works for people that break up and they got along. You don't get along with this woman. Just block her, go no contact, and if you are still worried about her self harm, contact her family, a couple of close friends, or ask the Police to do a welfare check.
Then you are setting yourself up for remaining an orbiter while she ends up going out with another guy. There is no easy way out. It’s your job to ask. Don’t disappoint her.
Only details that are important on that is it’s enough to get him mandatory time if convicted. These days with what ordinary drugs are laced with, one never really knows for sure what they’re trafficking. Coke dealers are sometimes unwittingly peddling fentanyl.
thank you. She’s with her family right now how do I have her leave me or does she do it herself? Because she says she doesn’t want to leave but she wants a child
this is so childish. her wanting something makes you not want to do it? this is like men who never compliment women because they think the women expect it or are “entitled”. man up and propose to your girlfriend or don’t be surprised when she dumps you.
You has boundaries. You have the right to say no. It is not your duty to please people. You are a valuable human being. This is not a joke, go on YouTube and find the bluey episode “yoga ball”. Yes it's a kids show, but the simplicity of the message made me cry, I think you will benefit from it
Well, first you need to talk to him about it. If he’s offended and doesn’t want to try to change his behavior, then that’s that. If he is surprised and wants to try to change, just help him by being encouraging.
When you go out to dinner maybe there’s a very subtle sign you can give him when he’s acting inappropriate. You don’t want to embarrass him by calling him out in front of everyone, so something discreet in key. Good luck.
She chose to believe his brother instead of communicating with her partner. She's definitely to blame as well. She had private communication with another man about him behind his back.
Advice is have that conversation when youre both sober. Keep it calm and civil. And, just be honest. It made you feel bad, seeing her behave like that. You feel like she crossed some boundaries and it hurts that he seemed to not notice how that might not be ok with you. Youre upset that it got far enough that C's own sister had to speak up for you.
He cant argue with your feelings. Trg as he might, he cant change or dictate how you feel about these things. Keep it confined to “I” statements, do everything you can to avoid being accusatory, and just explain. “Hey, it felt really shitty watching this go on all night.”
Just want to say I 100% agree with this. I think ghosting, as a concept, is rude, disrespectful, extremely antisocial, and quite honestly somewhat cruel as the victim of the ghost has to figure out they're ghosted over hours/days with no response.
It's socially lazy and it shows a total lack of empathy. Rather than tell someone you don't wish to talk to them anymore, you just tap a few buttons and switch them off like a light bulb. You don't have to look them in the eye and see their disappointment.
That said- I say if someone's gonna ghost you, that's just proof they're the wrong person anyway.
There’s still a pregnancy worry with the pill. That’s why everyone is debating you on this. You said there’s no pregnancy worry. Yes there is. There always is.
That's an inexcusable thing to say – you are with someone who is emotionally abusive and should run a mile. People like this don't get better, they get worse. Find someone better…
Your wife has a gut feeling and if you trust and care for your wife you should trust her judgment for you to b Not be about that friend.
You also justified cheating and ew if your wife knows this, this will probably make suspicious about you for remainder of your marriage…
If this friend of yours cheated and you are okay with it, your wife thinks you will cheat on her if you stay friends with her. Not only that, there is a potential that this friend will try to convince you to cheat maybe with her or not.
Their are so many red flags and if you want to have your wife in you’re life…end it.
We didn’t have as many pets before I became WAH. We adopted 3 dogs (siblings) and had all cats (easier to care for IMO) from a neighbor as they had to move and the mother was killed by a coyote so we took them in to take care of them and were initially fostering but they bonded and we couldn’t just rehome so we kept them. Pre-COVID it was much easier with the cats because we could be gone 8-10 hours a day and had no issues.
A text every hour?! Nah, she gets to spend time with her friend without even having to think of her bf. An estimated return time is reasonable, but that's all information she owes him.
Don't break up with your boyfriend becuase your brother decided to run his mouth and learned a lesson. He deserved to get his shit knocked about. Your brother owes you and your boyfriend a sincere apology.
And if you dump your boyfriend becuae your brother is a rasict douche nozzle. Then you are no better then him.
Let him make his choices and stay miserable and stay with him, or decide you will not stay with someone who is this bogged down in his own shit, and leave. Those are the options I see.
You cannot change his behaviours or his outlook on life.
Your past defines you, you wouldn't have become the person you are without going through and overcoming your past.

I was thinking the same – should the relationship go sour the employee could file sexual harassment against the company.

Ops diagnosis is narcissism.
She cheated on her ex to make him jealous.
Also had a lot (and I mean a lot) of different sexual partners in her past.
All in all, not a single time during her posts does she mention her husband's feelings.

There doesn’t have to be something WRONG to end a relationship, just knowing that it isn’t RIGHT for you is enough
You has boundaries. You have the right to say no. It is not your duty to please people. You are a valuable human being. This is not a joke, go on YouTube and find the bluey episode “yoga ball”. Yes it's a kids show, but the simplicity of the message made me cry, I think you will benefit from it
This is a very common manipulation tactic.

Unless the reason for giving her so much money is because they were sleeping together. Ex isn't going to tell wife jack if that's the case.
I'm not saying it is, but it's a possibility.

He can change but he has to want it for himself. You can’t change him. You need to get out for your own safety. His problems are his to fix.

Pre-COVID it was much easier with the cats because we could be gone 8-10 hours a day and had no issues.
We can all use reassurance from our romantic partners, we all need to feel attractive, but the decision is hers.
Try something like this maybe?
'I love your hair and think you're gorgeous, but it's not about what I think, you need to look good for yourself and if this helps then go for it'
Use your words of course.
A text every hour?! Nah, she gets to spend time with her friend without even having to think of her bf. An estimated return time is reasonable, but that's all information she owes him.
Yeah I wish I blocked him sooner. Thank you for your advice!
Don't break up with your boyfriend becuase your brother decided to run his mouth and learned a lesson. He deserved to get his shit knocked about. Your brother owes you and your boyfriend a sincere apology.
