It sounds like he’s listening to some extreme preachers. It’s very very hot for newly reverts to find preachers who correctly speak non basely.
The veil is completely cultural and not necessary- as well in this day and age with the danger the media can cause – the hijab is argumentatively not necessary either.
Mate, ya might just want to let it go. You're arguing about politics on a fuckin' relationship post. Even if I or other people might agree with you, this ain't a place for it. Radicalization is bad. Grooming is bad. Arguing about politics on fuckin' reddit is just stupid.
I mean why have sex and not give the courtesy of having your man finish ? I mean your mouth works ??♀️ I personally wouldn’t not let my man finish even if I did it’s kind of rude.
It's a massive generalization to say that 20s men are only looking to hook up, there are many single 20s guys who are dating seriously, while 30s men are mostly married.
Either way, it sounds like you're seeking validation urgently and that's a little concerning.
AND with bacterial infections if you keep getting reinfected it may become harder to treat because the bacteria can become more resistant to the antibiotics
Even if I asked her if she could do the following day or weekend instead? I understand her thinking I'm a flake if I didn't try to reschedule at all, but I did?
That is very much the relationship I’ve had, we have never been compatible and she has always been very mean and controlling in the bedroom and I kind of just dealt with it because we have children together.
If their symptoms were overly horrid, she would of said so. A flu is a flu, they're all going to be in their pj's, in bed, watching the tablet or phone. Maybe a sick bucket by the side.
To say that this man does not care or return appreciates or consideration to them over this, is absolutely absurd, and frankly a very fragile mindset. He will be there after the weekend, they will still be ill, and he will pick up the pieces and let the mum get some much needed rest I'm sure. Stop witch hunting! anyone who actually takes care of their own mother, getting over the death of her partner, who is also your father, is a gem and that's the kind of morals I'd want my own children to learn. He's paying his mother back for raising him, by simply visiting her on a weekend where she is alone and mourning.
I think you should back off for now. You don't have anything concrete, and you've both been through a terrible year. Give the situation some space for awhile. Don't keep pushing her. If she is having an affair, she's not admitting it. If she isn't having one, you will push her further away with the questions. So let it pass for now.
Doesn't really matter what internet or family says, you told her you're really uncomfortable and she told you to stuff it. She's not going to change this behavior. If anything she'll get worse but more secretive
If you didn’t lock the bathroom door and he opened it he would have seen you in the bathroom. That’s why the lock is there. It’s a shared bathroom, I wouldn’t read too much into it.
My ex did that when things went south. Only kept the ” in a relationship” status up. We were going through some arrangements. We didn't last another week after that.
You and your wife need to relay the message back to Ben that guys only get shot and killed when they're cheating with another man's woman. As long as hes not making moves on your wife he has nothing to worry about.
How do you think they would feel if you told them that this was how you felt? If you can't be honest about why you're dating someone without hurting their feelings, you shouldn't be dating them.
Maybe I'm edgy but never understood how many athiests could so easily get with religious people. Of course i can respect them as peers but couples? If they do match how intellectually invested I'm in this, they wouldn't be able accept someone so much in contrast of worldviews either

Thanks, I know this is what I need to hear. I guess I'm just desperate because I do not know how to move on from here. I can't change the ticket and it took so much energy to get it.
you are keeping emotional things in just like step dad. this all needs to be brought out in the open with everyone. You, mom, your partner and step dad. NOW!
and obvs your mom can't take care of herself because she would have fought for the extra drink 6 mnths ago instead of you. she wouldn't let him talk over her, if she could take care of herself.
Right but you’re putting some level of responsibly on the victim in saying that if they were sober it wouldn’t happen. It shouldn’t matter whether we are sober, tipsy or blackout drunk, it’s never ever a victims fault they are assaulted, and yes whilst we can take precautions to reduce the risk of those situations, it’s still not our fault when it happens. I hope one day you come to peace and understand that whether you were drunk or not, you are not responsible for your assault.
Hon, if you feel as though there is no way to move forward in your relationship if you don't do this then there really is no future for you in this relationship as it sits now..You should be able to say no to whatever without feeling guilty for it.

Yea. That sounds like you’re playing with the lives of two other people. Like if that’s what you’re all into… but I and most people wouldn’t want that kind of drama or karma in their lives. Again, you do you, consenting adults.
You are making excuses for her and nothing you say will excuse her sh!t behavior. Depressed or not I already hate her for what she put you through. Sorry. So you love someone who puts you through hell? Btw the part you said you had to invite yourself hit me very hot, that’s one of the worst unspoken feelings I have ever experienced. It feels like shit and I’ve been through that with an ex. She did you a favor tho and broke up with you. You need to just cry it out some days and stay busy on others and allow yourself to heal. Cut ties and move on is the best. No need to put yourself through hell anymore buddy. I wish u well.
He’s completely disrespectful of your relationship if he hits on her and to be honest your girlfriend should be putting firm boundaries in place with him if that’s the case. It’s difficult to unfriend someone if they are part of a big group. Have you been with them both at any point whilst you’ve been with her?
look you want to build a relationship right? you can’t built on lies, she’s lying, you are lying, communication is not on point, I don’t see why you’re blaming my advice that is indicating that you both should be honest with each other starting with you. sit her down and talk to her, be honest, there is no better solution
He's middle aged and you have three kids. Yes, the “adventures” part of your lives is over. You made that decision when you got married and had three kids. ??♀️ Did nobody tell you this?
He's 10 years ahead of you in coping with the reality of grownup life.
Aye y’all there’s a lot more to the situation can’t write it all but I had good reason to present myself as a upstanding citizen to this particular girl and now she in love w the idea of me. I think I’ll have to try to tell her a bit more about myself and what I’ve experienced maybe she still likes and that means she the one fr (maybe )
Yeah, I think we often forget just how different the mentality and the worldview of that generation is. He is born in the fuckin 30s. Their parents were boen in the fuckung 1900s. That's History Channel territory.
This is all just weird… I feel like there's much more going on. I doubt your daughter's self esteem issues and mental health would magically fix itself once she moved out unless there was something super toxic going on in your household. No matter how pretty you see yourself, or she sees you, it's not enough to warrant any of this behavior. So, either you did more to her than just exist as a pretty woman, or she's being quite unreasonable.
Don’t be offended but you have years of difference. They are 25/27 and you are 24/23 even it’s 2-3 years is a huge difference after in that age. I mean you just graduate and you are going to start something. They already have 3 years working therefore 3 yrs of savings. Your GF is pressuring and that it’s not fair. She needs to hold her horses or move forward to someone older who has such advantage, at least 3 years of savings. It’s their vacation to Italy. It’s their trip. Don’t mess it up. They will get married the next year, and you guys when until 2-3 years? You can give her a “promise” ring, the one where you promise to propose AND is not a big deal. But that is it.
Looks like you got great advice so I’ll move on to something that helped us.
I read an article once about a year ago talking about anal sex and which lube is better etc. There was a medical professional/ sex therapist (can’t remember which) that said anal numbing lube/gel can lead to injury. Reason being it numbs to the point you can’t feel if something is being ripped or torn or about to tear. Since you can’t feel it until the numbing wears off.
The article went on to say that it’s better to use an anal relaxant to relax the muscles so that you can still feel if anything is wrong and be able to stop in time plus it still lubricants enough that it doesn’t hurt as bad.
Might be worth looking into to prevent any damage done by rough or unplanned anal. Just a thought
100% right, I definitely was planning to speak to her about it i guess it’s just i’m scared the conversation will be quite a tough one and i dont know if there’s any way to make it any less tough i guess !
No, boyfriend is attempting to convince OP that they did, in fact, consent. The fact that OP now feels confused as to whether or not she was rape, when she clearly was, shows that the gaslighting was successful.
He’s a grown ass man. No one should be doing anything about it except for him. Sounds like his parents accept him as he is, which apparently you and your parents are incapable of doing. Leave him alone or break up already FFS.
I think it’s probably harder for them to understand you grieving the end of the relationship since it’s what you wanted, but they’re wrong. Grief is processing loss, even if it’s just the loss of hope for a better relationship.
I dont know whether to be impressed or hysterics that you made dick jail a punishment option for actual cheating…is this a troll post? ??
Inget chastity cages but its just thebwhole idea of penis prison being a thing.
Anyway. I have gone through this. As did my neighbour years later. Guys like this never change. Dont bother trying to make him. Its a waste of time and energy.
You are perfectly right from A to Z, congratulations! For your own sake, consider her dead and buried, never talk again with her nor get any info about her, will help you heal quicker…! Good luck!
I am glad & will give you props for voicing your feelings. That's good! It's important to voice them even if you do ultimately set them aside so that your family can travel without you.
Are you sure he's a doctor? I think he's telling you some whoppers like taking Plan B as a birth control method and I seriously doubt at age 26 that he's only had one sexual partner. Something is off here OP
I had an ex like this. Burned holes in his hand with a cigarette until I came back. He had like 11 burns. That was all I needed to see to leave for good. If he will put a cigarette out in his own skin 11 times because I’m leaving him, Imagine what he could possibly do to me. Best thing I ever did was leave him. I truly wish him the best but the fact that he was willing to harm himself in such an insane way, just to manipulate me to come back, was enough of a red flag to never come back
Sex should never be transactional. He doesn't want to do what you want him to do…that doesn't mean you can do take for him and then pressure him into performing for you.
He doesn't want marriage or kidd. He probably never did, since no progress was ever made on either front, and he's admitted to not wanting either more than once.
You can either give up on marriage and children to stay with him or you can break up and pursue them with someone else who actually wants them.
Personally I'd go for the latter. I don't see the point in staying with someone who lied about what they wanted to keep you around.
I knew it wasn't okay, but I kept believing that he would change because I had also seen the “nicer” side of him. I also grew up in a family where perfectionism is expected – I had to be multi-talented, excel in every sphere, which I did…but after a while, it took a heavy toll. I suffer from extreme self-doubt and insecurity and keep feeling like I am not “perfect enough”. I guess he saw that, too. I kept trying to please him, be the “perfect girlfriend” at all costs, my mental and physical health dived. I was also freshly grieving the death of my grandmother when we started dating, so his love felt everything to me then (love bombing stage). I was and am wounded, I think… I need to finally heal.
I agree. That is way too intimate for fwb. Why do these men like confusing us? Lol. Mine does the same things. But I won't say anything cause I don't wanna ruin a great thing.
Oh this is a sign of abuse about to develop. It’s a well known control abusive tactic. The more you do it/give in and adhere to his requests, the more controlling he will become. This is not healthy nor is it normal. I would end it
his answer is that they never really discussed assets or finances when they broke up. she never asked for legally owning the apartment and he never thought of it either. He gave her his car too that she rarely uses since she lives and works in the city and prefers public communication. he doesn't want us to get the car back either. He even left her his savings. I asked him if she is using them and he said no. he can still access that account and can see wether or not she is using it. He won't use it either because its her money according to him.
he was probably broken with guilt when he made all these decisions and I wonder if it was wise to make these big decisions while so vulnerable and broken. nobody should do that in that state of mind. I asked him if he regrets what he did in a moment of grief and he was angry and said NO
Maybe instead of “long foreplay” you need to respond to her moment by moment – no formula, just meeting her wherever she is. Just a guess, and I could be wrong.
INFO: How do you know that he didn’t abuse her as well. It’s really odd he would skip the middle girl. Has she come out and told you that she wasn’t ever abused by him, or is this the conclusion you came to based on her actions? PTSD from childhood SA can present in many different ways and I don’t think you’re qualified to make the assumption that her father never abused her. If she did tell you she wasn’t abused, have you ever asked why she pretends she was?
So she cheated, lied about it, and you guys broke up. What advice are you looking for here? I’d personally be thankful she showed her true colors early in the relationship, and didn’t wait until you were married with 2.5 kids. Maybe count your blessings and block her?
The male entitlement here is enough to make my blood boil. Your brother should be ashamed of himself for his selfishness in trying to make you choose. If he loved you so much, he’d move his wedding so that his only sister didn’t have to choose between supporting him and celebrating a major milestone in her life. And shame on your family for supporting his selfishness and making him think that it’s normal. I’m sorry OP, for what it’s worth, I think you should absolutely walk that stage. Send your brother a gift, tell him you love him, but go an enjoy YOUR day because YOU earned it.
Her friends will be annoyed with her at most. THEY all know they slept with her, and they have no problems being friends. Him not knowing isn't going to upset them, they're just astonished that it hasn't come up.
Which means, to her, this whole thing is probably a non-issue. She's so used to her former lovers being friends, that she thinks it's natural. Afterall, it has been for years.
Also is important to know, IMO, when did this happen. I know that I was an asshole when I was a teenager and have done wrong by some people and wouldn't do that anymore.
Yikes, i feel bad for your gf
It sounds like he’s listening to some extreme preachers. It’s very very hot for newly reverts to find preachers who correctly speak non basely.
The veil is completely cultural and not necessary- as well in this day and age with the danger the media can cause – the hijab is argumentatively not necessary either.
Run.
Mate, ya might just want to let it go. You're arguing about politics on a fuckin' relationship post. Even if I or other people might agree with you, this ain't a place for it. Radicalization is bad. Grooming is bad. Arguing about politics on fuckin' reddit is just stupid.

Even if I asked her if she could do the following day or weekend instead? I understand her thinking I'm a flake if I didn't try to reschedule at all, but I did?
It’s just a sign of her insecurities. It’s unhealthy. It doesn’t matter if she is single, she should trust me.
Psst, it’s a joke
This, as always with these age gaps, shit goes wrong.
You think it's your fault he's a creep and makes you feel bad? That you need therapy to accept him being an AH creep?
You need therapy to find your self worth so you date someone who's not a jerk instead of thinking this is normal
Break up with your girlfriend that is holding you back and become a stripper then. What's the hold up?
Yeah, I mean you guys are only 3 years together and he already cheated. What will happen when life gets harder?
I don't have any advice for you. Just my best wishes to you…
Then you missed the comments. OP said he's been out of work since early in the relationship.
He’s just looking for attention.
Agree
That is very much the relationship I’ve had, we have never been compatible and she has always been very mean and controlling in the bedroom and I kind of just dealt with it because we have children together.
…eh…. Did you buy your “Blackout Drink” or did you make it yourself?
Block him. Sounds like a narcissistic trying to make you feel insecure by mentioning other women.
If their symptoms were overly horrid, she would of said so. A flu is a flu, they're all going to be in their pj's, in bed, watching the tablet or phone. Maybe a sick bucket by the side.
To say that this man does not care or return appreciates or consideration to them over this, is absolutely absurd, and frankly a very fragile mindset.

He's paying his mother back for raising him, by simply visiting her on a weekend where she is alone and mourning.
Y'all need to see the bigger picture here.
I think you should back off for now. You don't have anything concrete, and you've both been through a terrible year. Give the situation some space for awhile. Don't keep pushing her. If she is having an affair, she's not admitting it. If she isn't having one, you will push her further away with the questions. So let it pass for now.
Wow, just wow. So wrong.
000 now
Doesn't really matter what internet or family says, you told her you're really uncomfortable and she told you to stuff it. She's not going to change this behavior. If anything she'll get worse but more secretive

She has a right to ask questions. People have a right to not dare someone with HIV. Geez. I can’t believe we are even having this conversation.
My ex did that when things went south. Only kept the ” in a relationship” status up. We were going through some arrangements. We didn't last another week after that.
That was the end of 3 years. Sorry bro

120 is underweight for most women 5’8 or over. It can be underweight for shorter people as well depending on build.
Wow imagine being such a fat loser that you get out of breath fucking your actual wife then go get a rub and rug from some human trafficking victim
Right but you’re putting some level of responsibly on the victim in saying that if they were sober it wouldn’t happen. It shouldn’t matter whether we are sober, tipsy or blackout drunk, it’s never ever a victims fault they are assaulted, and yes whilst we can take precautions to reduce the risk of those situations, it’s still not our fault when it happens.

Hon, if you feel as though there is no way to move forward in your relationship if you don't do this then there really is no future for you in this relationship as it sits now..You should be able to say no to whatever without feeling guilty for it.

No matter how pretty you see yourself, or she sees you, it's not enough to warrant any of this behavior. So, either you did more to her than just exist as a pretty woman, or she's being quite unreasonable.
Don’t be offended but you have years of difference. They are 25/27 and you are 24/23 even it’s 2-3 years is a huge difference after in that age. I mean you just graduate and you are going to start something. They already have 3 years working therefore 3 yrs of savings. Your GF is pressuring and that it’s not fair. She needs to hold her horses or move forward to someone older who has such advantage, at least 3 years of savings. It’s their vacation to Italy. It’s their trip. Don’t mess it up. They will get married the next year, and you guys when until 2-3 years? You can give her a “promise” ring, the one where you promise to propose AND is not a big deal. But that is it.
Look outside school. Try a dating app, or take part in activities and events that interest you. Like-minded people will be there.
Looks like you got great advice so I’ll move on to something that helped us.
I read an article once about a year ago talking about anal sex and which lube is better etc. There was a medical professional/ sex therapist (can’t remember which) that said anal numbing lube/gel can lead to injury. Reason being it numbs to the point you can’t feel if something is being ripped or torn or about to tear. Since you can’t feel it until the numbing wears off.
The article went on to say that it’s better to use an anal relaxant to relax the muscles so that you can still feel if anything is wrong and be able to stop in time plus it still lubricants enough that it doesn’t hurt as bad.
Might be worth looking into to prevent any damage done by rough or unplanned anal. Just a thought
100% right, I definitely was planning to speak to her about it i guess it’s just i’m scared the conversation will be quite a tough one and i dont know if there’s any way to make it any less tough i guess !
No, boyfriend is attempting to convince OP that they did, in fact, consent. The fact that OP now feels confused as to whether or not she was rape, when she clearly was, shows that the gaslighting was successful.
He’s a grown ass man. No one should be doing anything about it except for him. Sounds like his parents accept him as he is, which apparently you and your parents are incapable of doing. Leave him alone or break up already FFS.
He can’t even make up a believable lie sigh
Yup.
I don’t speak her native language no. You mean natives have to learn every language immigrants speak?
If she wants to be non-monogamous, and you don't, time to break up!!
You sound like a real treat… Just end the marriage.
OMG, imagine if she told you to “do as you're told, boy' in front of the cashier at Panera.
I think it’s probably harder for them to understand you grieving the end of the relationship since it’s what you wanted, but they’re wrong. Grief is processing loss, even if it’s just the loss of hope for a better relationship.
You're single brother. Start your healing process and move on
You… Locked his cock up?
I dont know whether to be impressed or hysterics that you made dick jail a punishment option for actual cheating…is this a troll post? ??
Inget chastity cages but its just thebwhole idea of penis prison being a thing.
Anyway. I have gone through this. As did my neighbour years later. Guys like this never change. Dont bother trying to make him. Its a waste of time and energy.
I cannot stop chortling.
You are perfectly right from A to Z, congratulations! For your own sake, consider her dead and buried, never talk again with her nor get any info about her, will help you heal quicker…! Good luck!
I am glad & will give you props for voicing your feelings. That's good! It's important to voice them even if you do ultimately set them aside so that your family can travel without you.
A child. Sexually harassing a CHILD. Fucking vile.
Are you sure he's a doctor? I think he's telling you some whoppers like taking Plan B as a birth control method and I seriously doubt at age 26 that he's only had one sexual partner. Something is off here OP
I assume this is pretty standard for him? This is not the first time is it?
Mention your wife in every interaction.
“You have beaitiful eyes”
“Thank you, my wife says the same thing”
Some loser women need the artificial ego boost of stealing a man. It makes them feel like they are superior to the wife.
Stop entertaining it. Reject it firmly.
I had an ex like this. Burned holes in his hand with a cigarette until I came back. He had like 11 burns. That was all I needed to see to leave for good. If he will put a cigarette out in his own skin 11 times because I’m leaving him, Imagine what he could possibly do to me. Best thing I ever did was leave him. I truly wish him the best but the fact that he was willing to harm himself in such an insane way, just to manipulate me to come back, was enough of a red flag to never come back
She was not used to dating guys like that
Sex should never be transactional. He doesn't want to do what you want him to do…that doesn't mean you can do take for him and then pressure him into performing for you.
He doesn't want marriage or kidd. He probably never did, since no progress was ever made on either front, and he's admitted to not wanting either more than once.
You can either give up on marriage and children to stay with him or you can break up and pursue them with someone else who actually wants them.
Personally I'd go for the latter. I don't see the point in staying with someone who lied about what they wanted to keep you around.
Lastly I don't think berating me anytime she talks to me counts as begging for solutions.
I knew it wasn't okay, but I kept believing that he would change because I had also seen the “nicer” side of him. I also grew up in a family where perfectionism is expected – I had to be multi-talented, excel in every sphere, which I did…but after a while, it took a heavy toll. I suffer from extreme self-doubt and insecurity and keep feeling like I am not “perfect enough”. I guess he saw that, too. I kept trying to please him, be the “perfect girlfriend” at all costs, my mental and physical health dived. I was also freshly grieving the death of my grandmother when we started dating, so his love felt everything to me then (love bombing stage). I was and am wounded, I think… I need to finally heal.
I agree. That is way too intimate for fwb. Why do these men like confusing us? Lol. Mine does the same things. But I won't say anything cause I don't wanna ruin a great thing.
Oh this is a sign of abuse about to develop. It’s a well known control abusive tactic. The more you do it/give in and adhere to his requests, the more controlling he will become. This is not healthy nor is it normal. I would end it
My nephew was the same with his uncle when he was about 4-5. Spitting image- but now he’s older they look different (except for hair!)
I know, she seems oblivious to the fact that he can indeed open his eyes and dump her.
his answer is that they never really discussed assets or finances when they broke up. she never asked for legally owning the apartment and he never thought of it either. He gave her his car too that she rarely uses since she lives and works in the city and prefers public communication. he doesn't want us to get the car back either. He even left her his savings. I asked him if she is using them and he said no. he can still access that account and can see wether or not she is using it. He won't use it either because its her money according to him.
he was probably broken with guilt when he made all these decisions and I wonder if it was wise to make these big decisions while so vulnerable and broken. nobody should do that in that state of mind. I asked him if he regrets what he did in a moment of grief and he was angry and said NO
How often are you doing this? Ask her
Look, you want to stay single, then stay single.
There's no need to keep your girlfriend as a home pussy you can't respect enough to inform of such things.
Maybe instead of “long foreplay” you need to respond to her moment by moment – no formula, just meeting her wherever she is. Just a guess, and I could be wrong.
Also, try doing it on the kitchen table.
INFO: How do you know that he didn’t abuse her as well. It’s really odd he would skip the middle girl. Has she come out and told you that she wasn’t ever abused by him, or is this the conclusion you came to based on her actions? PTSD from childhood SA can present in many different ways and I don’t think you’re qualified to make the assumption that her father never abused her. If she did tell you she wasn’t abused, have you ever asked why she pretends she was?
I wouldn’t say anything. Sounds like a dream
So she cheated, lied about it, and you guys broke up. What advice are you looking for here? I’d personally be thankful she showed her true colors early in the relationship, and didn’t wait until you were married with 2.5 kids. Maybe count your blessings and block her?
She doesn't owe him anything. Stop being creepy.
Damn. That's kind of impressive in a pretty horrifying way. Imma go cancel some subscriptions.
That's rough. Im sorry you're going through that. I hope he gets into therapy. And I hope you find the support to help you through this.
Really wish you the best.
Just don’t call him if you’re not interested. It’s that easy. Have you never been asked out before?
My partner has raised his voice to me on a few occasions and called me names.
Verbally abusing a partner isn't a character trait.
And I'm sure he can put the brakes on at work or in company. I highly doubt he's yelling at his boss or calling his friends names.
Run
The male entitlement here is enough to make my blood boil. Your brother should be ashamed of himself for his selfishness in trying to make you choose. If he loved you so much, he’d move his wedding so that his only sister didn’t have to choose between supporting him and celebrating a major milestone in her life. And shame on your family for supporting his selfishness and making him think that it’s normal. I’m sorry OP, for what it’s worth, I think you should absolutely walk that stage. Send your brother a gift, tell him you love him, but go an enjoy YOUR day because YOU earned it.
Tell him to hit the bricks cause he's a self-centered perv that'll just keep trying to push you towards what he wants
Her friends will be annoyed with her at most. THEY all know they slept with her, and they have no problems being friends. Him not knowing isn't going to upset them, they're just astonished that it hasn't come up.
Which means, to her, this whole thing is probably a non-issue. She's so used to her former lovers being friends, that she thinks it's natural. Afterall, it has been for years.
Some houses in Detroit are under 15k. Lol
Also is important to know, IMO, when did this happen. I know that I was an asshole when I was a teenager and have done wrong by some people and wouldn't do that anymore.
