We are enforcing the two rules listed above by making all titles start with ages/genders in the following format:
[##X][##X], [## X][## X], or [##-X][##-X] where ## is the age and X is the gender (currently M, F, T, A, NB, FTM, MTF but more can be added). You can have more than two ages/genders listed, but you must have at least two at the beginning of your title. Here is an example:
Yeah, sounds like an amazing idea, you really should go for it. You seem to really care about the important stuff, not easy to find a man these days that just thinks with his dick, using your brain is so overrated, can’t wait for your post about a pregnancy in about two months.
He is a tight on money at the moment and would be able to get his $100 back out of it. He was also a little mad the day that the machine incorrectly charged him, but other than that I’m not too concerned.
Don't bother. She didn't flake, she blew you off. Whether it was fear, a power play, or she is just clueless, this doesn't sound promising in the least.
You kinda skipped the honeymoon years, and asked a fairly new girlfriend to take care of your expenses when you pursued your passion. She didn’t know if that huge risk would pay off and had 3 stressful and lonely years.
There's another side to that though. Since they weren't married, the risk was his, and not hers, right? She could have walked away at any time.
Idk. Kind of poetic to give her a reminder of what she so callously tossed away. I think in 10 years, unless OP forgives her, she'll look back on this with a ton of regret.
Some don't have the money. Some do but don't have a willing partner. Some have both but think therapy is only for serious/diagnosed mental illnesses (which, arguably, it maybe should be for now considering how stressed the mental healthcare system is, at least in the USA). And for some, it's an access issue (see the stress on the system I mentioned).
There isn't really any easy solution to this stuff.
You need therapy, I know that you have your boundaries and that’s completely okay, but any person that gets jealous of someone watching porn has some extreme insecurity they need to work on. Your absolutely right it’s your choice not to allow it but I’m just telling you that it’s not a problem with your boyfriend that’s a problem with you. It’s not normal it’s not healthy.
There’s nothing abnormal about what she’s doing and you’re being a dick by telling her that she’s not Albanian when she actually is. Albanian is not only a nationality it’s an ethnic group there are Albanians in Serbia, Bosnia, Kosovo in particular, and other countries.
It’s usually insensitive to comment on other people’s ethnicities especially in a critical manner. It’s usually especially touchy with groups that have recently experienced a genocide or attempted ethnic cleansing. That whole region is touchy when it comes to ethnicity, Kosovo in particular, add to that her mom recently passed and you’re a complete jackass for even commenting on this let alone not understanding why she’s upset.
He’s 36, and he’s whining that he isn’t getting offered food and then acts as if he’s in a position to lecture a 34 year old woman about your behavior, coupled with that vague “trouble” line? Stop brewing his coffee. He needs to snap out of that right now and stop thinking that you’re his surrogate mother. And I’m a dude saying this.
This is the consequence of a life spent being the easy going quiet one that always compromised to make life easier for the obnoxious, louder siblings. I lived this very life growing up, my older sister was an actual terror. Locking me out of the house as a kid, trying to break down my bedroom door, getting expelled from school, etc. Unlike you, I decided a long time ago that I want nothing to do with her which consequentially extended to her kids. It wasn't worth the drama and the stress to be a part of their lives. My parents also spent all of their time and money on her and her kids because she was the drama filled maniac and I was the reliable, easy going guy who didn't rock the boat. What they have to deal with now is that I want nothing to do with them, either. They didn't have the time for me, ever. I'm not going to waste my time on them now. Actions have consequences.
Forgive yourself. You're not wrong in your actions, and it's admirable that you've tried to create a relationship with them in the past. Unfortunately, if they act like you're not worth their time, it's time for you to surround yourself with people who value you. Let them wring their hands and fret about it, it's not your problem anymore.
To me you just sound like a teenager, wanting to both be close to and separate from your family. Think of this as the time in your life when you decide who you want to be when you grow up .It's a tough for everyone and everyone feel better when you have a more clear idea of want you want and the choices you need to make to get there.
Your parents may be wonderful people and I'm sure you love them. But your life belongs to you.
I'm not mad at it and in fact I agree. Hence losing weight in the first place.
But from day one he has sold me one story. He was the one to always say I was perfect and exactly what he wanted. This has been the case until now and he said he has just lied the whole time. How is that not an issue?
The thing that jumps out at me is when you say that there is privacy but you can hear a lot. To me that says that there is NO privacy if the other person is home. Even if you’re quiet she doesn’t know if you can hear everything she and her friends say or do.
It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me that she wants private time with her friends, and unless I missed something this is her home too? It sounds like a compromise is needed. You said in a comment that you regularly go out to pubs or to play sports? Maybe the two of you could agree on one or two set nights a month where you go out to do those so she can have the apartment for a bit.
Breakups are hot. You’re not crazy for being hesitant about it. But you need to get it out of your head that you’re “slighting” her.
Why? Because you’re ignoring a very important person in this situation; you. You matter. You’re miserable. Do you want to be miserable forever just to avoid hurting her?

15 years is a serious long term relationship. At this point it should be expected that he comes regardless of your family’s feelings. If they do have some issue with this continuing to show up without him won’t get it resolved any faster.
Sadly the onlt things i can think of is time and trying to keep busy. Find a hobby or something you like that you can invest time in and.. just wait.. heartbreak takes time..
Well, not in the sincere way that means she sees her wrongdoings, is genuinely remorseful and is willing to do anything she can to fix it.
She wants to work it out with you so she can keep the best of all worlds – a stable household with all the extracurricular activities she wants on the side.
I would guarantee you this didn't start in January – at least, not January of this year. And just like your suspicions brought you to the point where you checked her app to discover her lies, I would be willing to bet that if you really thought about it, there have been plenty of other times something hasn't seemed quite right about where she said she was, but you brushed it off because you love her and trusted her.
She isn't sorry (just sorry she got caught), and I can almost promise you there's way more to this story than this, to the point that I would honestly recommend getting paternity tests for your children on the chance that at least one of your kids isn't biologically yours.
There is a much better life waiting on you on the other side of this, either single or with someone who loves you, values you, and is worthy of your trust. Please know that someone isn't her.

I want lemon ice
Sadly the onlt things i can think of is time and trying to keep busy. Find a hobby or something you like that you can invest time in and.. just wait.. heartbreak takes time..
Don’t ASK next time. Tell her to get on the couch or get her ass out. Why are you being such a pathetic doormat?
She doesn't want to work it out with you.
Well, not in the sincere way that means she sees her wrongdoings, is genuinely remorseful and is willing to do anything she can to fix it.

I say go for it, especially since you don't actually work together anymore
Did she wish you a happy men's day?
