Yes, so why remain in the groups? If you are not reading them, what is the point in staying? These chats are bothering you, so leave the groups. Or, block & delete their numbers from your phone, that might stop you getting the messages at all.
This is the most stupid shit I've ever read on here. Other people have already said the main things so I won't say too much.
It's just crazy that you care more about the embarrassment than your wife's well being? Dude, it's completely normal to bang on walls lol. The most stupid thing is that the thing you're afraid of happening hasn't even happened, and you're blaming your wife for literally nothing while you're being the asshole.
This is a tough one. Is she a decent mother? If so, you'd be doing a lot of irreparable harm separating your daughter from either you or her mother. Children separated even from bad parents do poorly and suffer a lot. That much more so when the parent is decent or good.
That said, I don't know what that means for you. You want to be careful not to sponsor a visa fraudulently. You can marry her for the kid rather than love, but if you intend to divorce as soon as she gets her green card, that's fraudulent. You don't want to get into legal trouble. I'd talk to an immigration lawyer and family lawyer – ideally a law office that specializes in both – to navigate this. Your goal should be to keep Mom and daughter in the same country as you, but there are different ways to go about it.
Basically when people are posting about gay rights on Insta he doesn’t care or post about it. He cares about things that affect him, he isn’t a political person. Her believes everyone should be equal but doesn’t go out of his way to support the LGBT
You're repeating your childhood. We gravitate to what's KNOWN, not whatever is GOOD FOR US.
You wanted to connect with him and feel safe. That's reasonable. He did the opposite.
You need therapy to resolve your childhood trauma before you even THINK of a relationship. What you were taught is not normal but it feels normal because it's what you knew. It's rather like food. If you grow up eating, say, traditional Chinese dishes, Italian good tastes weird. Most Americans don'tlike Vegemite because it's not a “normal” food for us (an example for explanation of course, no food is “normal” or “not normal”).
On your end, yes you may have also shared too much at once because you DO want to feel safe. But a considerate partner who loves you would set a reasonable boundary and/or direct you toward the proper help. Not judge you for it.
Everyone has a past. 20 people isn't many at all. I lost my virginity at 16, had a wild streak between about 19 and 23 and slept with way more than that. Settled down focusing on more serious connections after that and since that time have had about 2-3 partners per year. Sometimes less, sometimes 1 or 2 more.
And who cares what race they were? RACISTS. That's who.
Was he a virgin before you? Doubtful. If you disgust him so much why is he still having sex with you? What does that say about HIM? He'll fuck “disgusting” women.
From the outside – and I know this is a simplification but I am against age gap relationships – particularly when they were as young as you were. He had his life, his education, his fun and then found a virginal (or at least inexperienced) young hottie to tie down. Now you are still a young woman with several children being told this is your life now. Cook, clean, look after my kids, work full time and don’t expect me to spend any money on your or the kids except the bare minimum. He stole your life and turned you into a maid. You never had a chance. I think if you reflect you’ll see that his disinterest in prioritising you was always there.
This is so difficult, your wife shouldn’t be judging people on their size. This is a typical situation where ‘Health at Every Size’ matters. Your mum has worked really naked. She’s following her medical teams advice. She’s maintaining healthy habits and working always towards healthier lifestyle. She shouldn’t therefore be judged on the number on the scales. It’s irrelevant. Especially by someone who is not her doctor nor cares very much for her. And also, BMI is nonsense. I’m 5’9 and when you’re taller it swings so much. And it’s nonsense. It takes no actual health related factors into account like medical conditions and advice.
On this basis would she leave you when you put on your dad bod? It’s a ridiculous notion. She needs to speak to some professionals who actually know what they’re talking about and not be so ignorant.
Do most long term couples have sex everyday? Of course I wish I could meet his sexual expectations but everyday while seeing each other everyday feels like a lot to me. Maybe like every other day? But idk maybe if I wasn’t getting UTI’s I would want to everyday
I'd honestly focus more on getting your kids into shape in terms of setting expectations regarding chores and implementing some kind of structure where there's a penalty, whether it's loss of a favorite toy or screen time (I'm not sure how old they are) if they don't do it when they are supposed to. Don't let them turn out like your wife, and give them the functional skills they will need to maintain their own households one day.
Your wife sounds selfish and lazy, to be honest. And she knows you'll ultimately take care of it, and doesn't care that more of the burden falls on you if it means she gets her way and doesn't have to do it. The fact that she will only wash her own clothes is very telling.
You've expressed to her what your needs are in this area. She's heard you, and while she might say she's going to do more, her actions speak otherwise. She doesn't want to. She doesn't plan to. She doesn't care that this impacts you negatively, because the arrangement works for HER.
You could of course decide to just stop doing the chores and see how long she can go with dirty bathrooms and a kitchen stacked with dirty dishes, but you know what will happen. It will start WWIII, because you'll be the bad guy for not doing the chores. It's become expected of you.
You have to decide if you can live with things being this way or not. People who have avoided doing chores most of their adult lives usually don't suddenly start one day.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Wtf… you need to stop hanging out with him if you feel like you want to sleep with him. Also, I feel bad for your husband.

New York which still has fault driven divorce.
We have no fault divorce as well but you still have the option of divorcing for fault
Your husband is the asshole

This guy is a turd and you lack self respect.
Why can't you move away fast enough? He's 5!

What does HLF mean?

You’re the boyfriend aren’t you?
Your wife is going to end up like that mother who cyber bullied their own kid.
They gave up both of us and then changed their minds, took her back and told everyone it had been a singleton birth.
You’re assuming they were ever half-decent.
She broke up with you. Ball is in her court to choose to reach out to try again. Focus on moving on and try to find a relationship that isn't ldr
Go for the job if it’s really that life changing for you. People like her stay stuck in one place forever. Don’t get drug down with her.
