Aim a bajillion of them right at your bed, at bed height (on the seat of a chair works well). That will help. I learned that trick from someone who lives somewhere hotter than I do.
Also, when my significant human and I were living without air con, we did what we called “hot weather cuddling”. Opposite sides of the mattress, but each poking each other with one finger.
Violence is a deal breaker. He got away with it once so he naturally figured aggression would work again. The pattern was established with the first act against you. This pattern will only continue and will escalate to other areas of your relationship. It is time to prioritize your health and well being.
As an internet stranger and Mom, I am sending you so much strength and know this is the best choice for you right now. You don't even have to tell him, consider him gone from your life. Now that you know better, you can do better for yourself. (hugs)
After reading A Billion Wicked Thoughts, I never realized how common it was for men to watch porn at work and do this sort of nonsense and I'm a guy…
I respect your BFs honesty but he is a porn addict and it sounds like he isn't doing anything to remedy the problem. You have already voiced your stance on this. By you staying with him, YOU'RE cosigning his behavior.
Leave. You aren't doing him any favors by sticking with him. I can only image what other types of porn this guy is watching if he lacks this much self-control.
OP has stated that he's tried to make her aware, and that she isn't contributing. He's tried asking her questions to prompt better discussion, and her only responses have been negative.
She even woke him up randomly at one point and (without any attempts at foreplay for OP) just expected him to immediately get naked so they can do it. When he struggled to stay awake and delayed the sex for an hour, she later said she felt unwanted/rejected because he essentially didn't wake up already in the “bone zone.” OP pointed out to her that she should have tried a thing or two to help him get going and she brushed him off, saying she didn't want to.
That's about as 0% as it gets. No foreplay, no reciprocation, no position changes aside from her occasionally getting on top of him, unfair expectations (you get hard when I want you to, even if you were asleep and I refuse to help you get horny), and demanding or expecting foreplay from him that makes her feel good even though she isn't doing anything for him.
Neither of you should have this poor child. Encourage him to find another healthy stable family member to care for the child. Instead of you and him taking him and basically doing a worse job than bio mom by neglecting him. There are also many wonderful people out there who would love the opportunity to care for a child either adopting or fostering. Give this child the best chance to be loved and cared for by someone who cares.
IMO you two are so different in terms of financial perspective. He’s not necessarily wrong for feeling obligated to provide for his mom. Just as how you’re not wrong for your perspective of wanting to be financially independent.
Just because he wants to financially fund his mom doesn’t mean you have to financially provide for him (and his mom’s).
Keep your finances separately. Have only a joint account for shared expenses and savings (like kids). Those accounts can’t be touched unless both agree on it.
What he does with his own personal income is his own choice. Just the same as what you do with your own personal income is your own. If you receive inheritance from your parents you don’t need to share it with him unless if you want to. Just the same as if his business does very well he doesn’t need to share the profit with you.
Sit down with her parents and tell them that if he turns up in a clown suit you will be leaving the ceremony immediately and eloping instead. That the resulting fall out will be on them and you will sue him and them for the cost of the wedding.

You’re not forced to stay in this. Time to be an adult and say I’m sorry this isn’t working I am not moving with you. Start looking for a place for yourself right now. Today.
I thought that the first time I found my abuser sitting sobbing in our kitchen cutting herself. That’s what I thought the first time I came home and she swung a punch at me for being “late”. That’s what I thought the first time she tried to stab me with a chefs knife. That’s what I thought the first time she tried to grab the wheel while I was driving and tried to take us off the road.
He is showing you who he is deep down, listen to what it’s telling you.
house is mine, he has no ties to it. dog is equally ours, he paid the $25 adoption fee, I pay most of the vet bills. Sometimes we split them. we take turns on who buys food. he never buys toys or anything extra for him that’s all me.
So since he enjoys his part time job that means he has time to clean the house and have dinner cooked every night when you get home from work right?
This was something less disgusting when a toilet wasn't an option, but it is an option now so it's gross and lazy. I think that's the point.
If it’s going to bother you, you should ask her to explain.
You're a fool, but I suppose you two deserve eachother

Nah there should be no blackmailing. He either wants it or not. If OP decides to divorce, she should just do it.
Please get tested for stds. Next get your financials in order tou can move funds from accounts at the same bank to another.
Next tell her to either pony up a paternity test or get a abortion your not caring for another dudes kid.
Tes she had a period she could still have gotten pregnant.
Cur off joint credit cards pull your name off what tou can and get a lawyer.
In house sell it And if you decide to keep baby do not sign birth certificate without proof it is yours.
Once a cheater always a cheater..she got caught and kept lying to you..
They just get better at lying and hiding ..
Cut the guy out. Then tell your gf you are happy she confided in you
Pass gas and haul ass
Shouldn't he have a say if it's his?
Up your game. Communicate while sober. Ask her what you can improve.
Does your partner even want to keep dating you?

Lying about who you are talking to is grounds for break up. Sexual assault is grounds for an arrest.

May brother future guide him in his endeavor?
I feel it is my duty as a daughter to stay by them and not abandon them.
How do your parents feel about you feeling like you have to make this sacrifice for them? You're only 35, you have your whole life ahead of you….
My husband is moving from the Midwest to Mexico for business opportunities that he does not have here.
Did you discuss this previously? Did you agree to him moving or did he spring it on you? Did he listen to what you want?
We want to buy a house. But ultimately, I want the house to be here in the Midwest, and he wants the house to be in Mexico.
Tbh….are you sure you're compatible? Yes, some couples have no issues living separately….but are you sure that your marriage has a future this way?

I couldn’t imagine not getting oral as a guy. Probably one of my favorite things in life. Could never date someone who didn’t enjoy it.

I’d think about the pros and cons of it. Then decide.
But if you go for it then make sure she’s on some type of birth control AND you always use condoms.
I’ve seen it where the father hands her off halfway through to the step dad. Or one walks and the other dances

He really is a good guy, and very sweet and fun. I just get worried and overthink a lot but I appreciate your response
