This is gross. Maybe assign him 1 toilet out of the whole house and FAR AWAY from your master or the kitchen and that's the ONLY toilet that can “stew his shit” the rest you're free to plugne. But im petty, I'd embarrass him to make it known that he actually thinks what he's doing is good. It's not. Its nasty. It's horrible. And good lord after 20 years… ya… no…
You do… nothing. It's not like someone who has the capacity for polyamory is incapable of being happy and fulfilled with one person. If he really wanted to be dating multiple people, he would have left by now.
From this day forward, make it an effort to be the kind of guy you’d want in your life. Even if they never forgive you, you’ll at least stop driving away others.
This is pretty weird, and definitely a red flag, but I'm curious about the fact that you've been together for 4 years and this hasn't happened before. What's different? Is it that you're engaged? Could it be that he doesn't like being touched and interrupted when he has asked not to be, and being engaged makes him more sensitive to that, because he feels like he's locking into the relationship for the long-term? That doesn't justify a violent response in any way, but if I were you, I would want to be certain that he's willing to discuss issues like this before you get married. If his only reaction is to deny that it even happened, that's not good. He needs to be willing to have a discussion about his inappropriate reaction
Open another account that your paycheck goes into. Limit her crudités card which must be in your name and put her on a budget. Make her access to your money based on her behavior and performance at home. You’ll be told this is controlling and it is. You need to be in control clearly.
She keeps making comments because she’s not willing to give up her dream. Eventually she’ll dump him when she realizes he doesn’t give a crap about her wishes.
The problem with going to the same person to vent every single time you have an issue with your partner is that eventually that person will develop an incredibly negative view of your partner. Long after your fiance has gotten over Incident C, his mother is still thinking “that terrible woman did did Incident C, and I also remember her being responsible for Incidents A and B earlier.”
This happens because your fiance is with you every day, so he sees the issues and he also sees the resolutions and he also sees day after day after day of everything being fine. But his mother does NOT have that front row view of your relationship, and if the main things she hears about it are the fights and negatives then that will color her perception of you and affect your relationship with her. Hell, even if he vents to her about good AND bad things people will naturally focus more on the bad.
If this were a random friend he was venting to then ok, that friend may develop a bad image of you, but that's not the end of the world. You don't have to get along with ALL of his friends and they don't all have to get along with you. But when the person he vents to is his mother then that creates a pretty significant problem for you, because she's about to be your mother in law and apparently they're very close. She will be a factor in your relationship, and her opinion of you will matter.
I would recommend communicating all of that to your husband, because I doubt he's thought of the long term complication his venting is creating. He definitely needs a safe space to talk, but I would just remind him that 90% of what his mother knows about your relationship is what he tells her, and if he's only talking to her when things are bad she will get a very skewed view of his future wife. That's not good for either of you.
He only told you because he knew word was going to get out either way. I doubt this is the only instance. You deserve someone who respects you and is honest with you. Leave this guy.
I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. Anyone going through a breakup would feel exactly what you’re feeling. It’s weird to spend so much time with someone getting close to them and getting to know them and then having the emotional whiplash of them just turning it off and not caring about you whatsoever anymore. It really makes you wonder if the time you had together even meant anything to them. But you can take solace in the fact that whatever he’s going through that’s causing him to act so callously is his own journey, and I would feel fortunate to not have to be apart of it anymore. That old dumb Dr. Seuss quote had a lot of truth to it: “The people who mind don’t matter, and the people who matter don’t mind.” Focus on the people who do care about you in life or go out and find people who aren’t going to drop you out of nowhere like this. And don’t feel bad about feeling bad, your emotions are totally valid in this.
Sweetheart, you need to go to a trusted teacher or parent or someone and report him. He date raped you. You need to end this relationship. Do not forgive him.
I’m so, so sorry this happened to you. This isn’t your fault; it’s entirely his. He doesn’t deserve your forgiveness, and he definitely doesn’t deserve to be your boyfriend.
He IS abusive OP, he was lovebombing you and now the mask has slipped.
At some point you are going to have to tell her that you are done going around in circles. Tell her that you love her, but she has to love herself.

I eventually got the ick, too. That's what led to his new girlfriend and how I eventually got free. I stopped making the best out of crumbs.
Troll.
Divorce is pretty much your only option here.

He deserves to be in prison.
