I personally think you should tell him. I understand he hurt you emotionally but, as long as this man is a safe person to be around, he deserves the right to know about his child. You could go through an ombudsman or lawyer depending on how worried you are but I think he should definitely be made aware of this!
But he hasn't been doing it for well over a year. Porn isnt opening a relationship and being with someone else. It sucks what happened to you and that you have trauma but you can't hold that against him if you agreed to open it up.
i don’t think that way. my mind is not completely set on him being a narcissist. i am certain that he is, but if it turns out that he isn’t then my perception of him will obviously change.
Yes you would need to discuss what is acceptable and what is not…swinging is just sex…absolutely no emotional attachment on either end and you both will be ok…
Focus on doing something for yourself that you truly enjoy! Get together with family and friends. Also encourage them not to talk to you about your ex (not even mention her name nor whereabouts). It's an important part of healing.
Reclaim yourself, too. One thing I've learned is how easy it is for us to forget who we are (while being in a relationship with someone). It's the biggest trap ever invented… So use this time apart from her to grow, personally and professionally.
Staying friends? I don't recommend this, because it makes the opportunity for your growth and healing harder to process. So focus on living for You.?
Those are not mutually exclusive things the gym and cutting down on drinking. He spoke about promoting a more healthy lifestyle. Which I took to mean cutting out junk like drinking etc.
It does not SCREAM any sort of superficial nonsense about him want her to be skinny.
And also if it is about their relationship the shit he says in his comments are just as important as his posts. He seems genuinely concerned, and seems to genuinely want to find the best way to help her get healthy.
You’re arguing with OP as though he’s saying things that he’s not saying. OP never said he was doing things right which is why he came seeking advice, but having conversations with his partner about her health, and not her looks (which he made a point of in his POST), should not be off limits just because it irritates her.
No! You said you don’t want to. It is literally your body. I understand all relationships are different and this works for some but you don’t want to. You give in and he will continue to push your boundaries to get what he wants.
Remember the placebo affect is a real thing, what you think you deserve (etc) is usually what you will attract. Switch up your thinking from “I'm doomed at 27” to “things are always working out for me.” And yeah dick will do that to ya, the thing is men are teachable creatures, you can teach the next guy and use him just the same.
It's ok op, don't give up on love. It's just around the corner! But for now maybe you should focus on yourself outside of situationships!
I am a little older than you, but yes I prefer open and honest conversations. sometimes it may be very hot to hear and bring up a fight, but its better to know than not, and the fights don't have lots of built up resentments behind them.
Well, once again, one more time, pedophile means before puberty no one here is pedophiles, and your friend is off the rails nuts maybe move on for a while and maybe people should buy a dictionary
I don’t normally advocate for rehoming animals but your family isn’t taking taking care of their pets. It’s already a struggle in a larger space, it’s probably best for the animals to find them homes where they’ll be well taken care of rather than have that much chaos in half the space. The only thing I would say is try to find them homes yourself, make sure they go to good families and not just a shelter.
Thank you ❤️ An ultimatum was honestly my last choice, it’s not something I wanted to do, but if I want to be with him and he wants to be with me there’s just no other option. I’ve done the compromising and it’s just not working 🙁
That’s a big concern of mine. He’s currently on his 5th marriage to a woman from Thailand who’s 42, he’s in his 60s got her a green card. He travels to Thailand 4x a month and is around all of the children in his new wives family, dozens of kids her nieces, cousins kids etc. he’s also a massage therapist in Los Angeles with access to women and adolescent girls 16+ that go to his practice. I’m wondering why my girlfriend and her sisters have yet to report him knowing this. I feel like I’m the only sane one. I want to report him to the massage therapy licensing board but have been threatened by my ex that her dad would likely sue me for libel because I can’t prove it. Idk what to do. Both of her sisters have kids and have no contact with the dad to protect their own kids. My question. Is what about the other kids? Seems extremely selfish
I think immense guilt could stem from emotional cheating. However, if she was withholding some details, I’d imagine it would impede on her fully processing the shame/guilt.
I’m not a psychologist so I have no clue. That’s just what my perspective would be. Hope things work out for op.
Lots of good advice here, but OP, PLEASE LOCK YOUR DOOR AT ALL TIMES! He already had rough sex with you, and has tried to aggressively kiss you and was angry about it. It’s clear he’s very in denial about his sexuality and is taking his inner turmoil out on you. Do not be alone with him in the flat.
She made that mistake once. Don't think she wants to do it again. Most polyamorous relationships fail. Tkaes a lot to do this. I believe your relationship will fail if you try and pursue this.
Instead, talk to her about the lack of intimacy between you two. Ask her what you can do for you two be more sexually active together with each other. Let her know once a month is not enough. See where it leads.
So you asked a question you didnt want to hear the answer to, and ignored the other things she said about you and your relationship that she was missing with the other guy cause you assumed she lied, and have desided that your sexlife is now forever defined and ruined by this?
Jesus dude, therapy. Now.
Sex is more than the orgasm, relationships are more than the sex. If you want to be the one to make her come the most, put in the work. You're with her now, learn everything you can and blow her mind. Or you could sit there and self sabotage the relationship. Up to you.
You need therapy before you finish setting your own relationship on fire. You’re going to keep finding ways to let your insecurities sabotage the two of you if you don’t address the root issue.
I’m the adult world, people have sex. Your first time might also be with someone’s who is a virgin but the further along you go the less likely that is. I’d suggest you consider your future with someone vice focusing on the last.
I know how exhausting being a mom can be, especially to a special needs kiddo, and how moms need time to themselves at the end of the day. Is it possible you could work towards changing your evening routine to be more in line with your husbands? That way you go to bed together.
Blocked her and deleted her number, doing my best to forget about her so hopefully things will start to get better, thanks for the help
Agreed.
Putting in this kind of effort to understand and correct bad behavior is a differentiator between great parents and good parents.
I personally think you should tell him. I understand he hurt you emotionally but, as long as this man is a safe person to be around, he deserves the right to know about his child.

Is she on birth control or antidepressants? Those are notorious for killing your libido
But he hasn't been doing it for well over a year. Porn isnt opening a relationship and being with someone else. It sucks what happened to you and that you have trauma but you can't hold that against him if you agreed to open it up.
He's 10 years older. You should've thought of that.
Leave her brother. Find a divorce lawyer ASAP and tell him what she said. Prepare.
i don’t think that way. my mind is not completely set on him being a narcissist. i am certain that he is, but if it turns out that he isn’t then my perception of him will obviously change.

Send a message! If you get a negative or no response, then at least you tried.
Hey farmers only might be a good way into some fresh produce and/or fresh meat ?
No Contact is your best bet!

Because I am not here to bash him, I am honest advice but apparently, I offended you lol
How have you been together for 5 years and not discussed whether or not you want children?
You are in an abusive relationship.
I said I feel backstabbed and lied to. I’m not using those words to her. She has been hiding this from me, so obviously I feel lied to.

He honestly wouldn’t drive you?
Short answer, yes you are.

Here, I'll help. The source of the article was a survey from salary.com, so basically it's complete bullshit.
