Yeah, because you're a child who's not mature enough yet. Jealousy is ugly and it makes everyone ugly showing it. Because it shows how insecure you are. And that shows how immature you are. You should leave her.
You have to understand that it’s not likely to change with or without counseling. It only becomes a matter of being sneakier so as not to get caught. If you stay do so with your eyes wide open. Don’t deceive yourself.
We have not. I have brought it up multiple times, but shes adamant on not going. She says I can go, but I imagine couples therapy doesnt work with half the couple attending.
Probably should have added more on what was said in the chats. Mind you she was pretending to be a 20 year old college girl.
His first message was something like “hey I just saw you added me and I don’t know if you meant to or not but I just wanted to say I hope you had a great day!?”
Then she goes on to talk about who she is and says she goes to a college nearby. They both talk about what they do for work and when he tells her that he’s a painter she says “aw nice AND artistic?”
He’s flattered and they go on to talk about careers and how their towns are close enough they could grab a drink sometimes because he’s “always open to meeting new friends”
She says “im honestly looking for something on the low if you know what I mean ?”
He says “well I’ll have to hold you to that ?”
Her: how tall are you btw?
Him: 6’2”
Her: well that’s good news. Big news hopefully ?
Him: we’ll you’ll just have to see it and find out for yourself
Her: I’m down for whatever. I just want to have fun! ?Can we netflix and chill?
Him: yeah I’m always here so come over whenever ? what do you want to watch?
Then she didn’t respond for a while and he blocked her. Probably got suspicious.
well you should be! You were being supportive and empathetic and that's mostly seen as a good thing. Sometimes, even if the friend thinks they need your support, the support you offer is just enough to make continuing the toxic relationship possible. Like, it didn't matter if he hurt her, because she could cry on your shoulder. You removed your poor aching shoulder and she promptly broke up with him for good. Well done you!
This is bad. You need to leave. Poly is about communication, and your partner is just making decisions without you. I wouldn't tolerate that in a monogamous relationship, let alone a poly one.
OP, coming to you as your friend/auntie to share some love. First, none of this was your fault. You did nothing wrong, and you have nothing to be ashamed of. Second, you can define your assault how you want to. Words matter and they affect our thought patterns. Third, it’s going to be ok, eventually. I’m 10 years out from what I label “the big one” and I’m ok. I rarely remember it. The last two years, the anniversary passed unnoticed. You will reach that point one day. Over time you’ll find feelings of safety and trust again. You’ll find people that truly love and support you, the way you deserve. It won’t happen overnight, but you can get through this to the other side. Some people find therapy helps. It really does. I still haven’t been able to talk about mine in therapy. A tightly sealed little box in the back of my brain is what I’ve needed the last however many years. There are great support groups, and Ebbie listed a bunch of resources that are helpful.
OP, we hear you, we see you, we believe you. Sending you a big virtual hug (but only if you want it), otherwise just the healing vibes minus the hug.
Of course it’s her business, she’s your mother and if you are mature enough to be ready to be a mom yourself you will really think about what your mom is telling you. Fast forward 20 years and think about having a daughter who is married to a guy who gets high and assaults someone bad enough to get charged and sentenced to prison. What advice would you give to your baby girl, is that who you see for your future son in law? Do you think a man who does drugs with a prison record is going to be a supportive partner and father who is going to be able to support a family financially and emotionally? I know it doesn’t seem like it but she has your back and is trying to help you. If you are ok with being a single mother and can except 100% responsibility for the baby than make that decision, maybe your husband will surprise everyone and turn his life around but make sure you set boundaries and expectations and be ready to bounce.
For me personally, I would want you to approach and ask for a conversation to see if it’s feasible to come up with a plan/timeline on when and if it’s possible to close the distance. If we can’t come to some sort of compromise then we move on, but if we do come up with a plan then we move forward together. I would ask to have that conversation in person, if that’s feasible, don’t stretch yourselves if you can’t travel. Be prepared for him to still say no, he may have already made up his mind, but if you want to try I don’t see the hurt.
I work in child development and I usually encourage parents to focus on discipline rather than punishment. Punishment is often arbitrary and too far removed from the behavior to accomplish any real behavioral changes. Instead, think about what you want him to take away from the discipline you use as a response to poor choices.
An example of punishment vs. discipline: your son bullies another child for being poor and not having nice clothes. Punishment would be grounding him or taking away a device. Unfortunately, this doesn't really teach him WHY his behavior was wrong. Discipline would be signing up to volunteer somewhere and bringing him along. That gives you an opportunity to explain to him why some people have less than you do and that when you have more, it's important to be a helper. It's still technically a consequence for the behavior, but there's a positive lesson attached to it. Discipline should, whenever possible, connect directly to the behavior you're disciplining. If you have the means, reaching out to a child psychologist might be helpful for you if you're struggling to put together ideas when these incidents occur.
Your marriage is a fraud, based on lies your husband told. If he had been honest with you, you never would have married him.
So, why would you stay married now to a person you wouldn’t have married in the first place?
Even if you don’t know the whole truth, what truth you do know is enough for you to know that you would have left.
So … leave.
It’s not the 1950s anymore. We no longer live in an age where you have to commit to unhappiness to keep up appearances with people who aren’t even in your marriage.
Get out, and give yourself a chance to find someone who will love you, and respect you, and treat you how you deserve to be treated.
I couldn't believe her comments of “couldn't trust you” and “you betrayed me” as if this was some sort of soap opera and she just discovered an illicit affair…
OMG your edit is hilarious. Do you really think that convinces anyone of anything?
YTA. The air of self-importance is nauseating. Who else wants to bet Mike would give a different version of events?
Even if what you are saying is “true” you have no right to interfere and ruin this for Mariah. Don’t give us the BS about trying to be a good friend. You like the idea of someone “being obsessed” with you.
Let it go and move on. Mariah and Mike are adults. What happens between them is between them.
In the meantime, if you need someone to fill in the obsessed position, I hear Target’s got a sale on mirrors going.

Honestly everything else is perfect she knows it and i know it what other good excuses are there
The location data is sometimes off by about 2-300 feet, enough to be a house or two over. Not by blocks, and definitely not by miles. She’s lying.
We have not. I have brought it up multiple times, but shes adamant on not going. She says I can go, but I imagine couples therapy doesnt work with half the couple attending.

Why are you living with a immature, cruel jerk?
I am not proud of it

she’s easily aggravated and gets mad easily
Do you really want to spend time with someone whonis like this? Walking on eggshells all the time, no dude, you dump her.

Seriously though.

What a drama queen.
I'm so sorry. I have no advice, just sending you love.
Seems like a good step on her side.
Wtf?
Now days you basically have to assume everyone is cheating and just deal with what’s in front of you. Welcome to hookup culture.
Your fiance is right. You're wrong. Apologize.
OMG your edit is hilarious. Do you really think that convinces anyone of anything?
