this is my personal opinion, us women function mostly with emotions (most of us). we love random acts of compassion once in a while ‘just because flowers’. when y’all were in the early stages of the relationship she must have had so much hope and excitement to eventually get married and so on. you on the other hand had different plans. you prioritised other things and the marriage was last which maybe fair for you but not necessarily fair for her at all. she broke all her family rules and came with you bc she loves you so much. where you put her at last. do you see what you did. i’m not blaming you but i think you should be more grateful and get your priorities straight. i personally think you should still propose to her despite what she said. it doesn’t have to be a grand gesture but try to do something nice on the day you pop the question. please communicate more. please date each other. real ones are so hard to come by please cherish the gem you have.
– “Personally if my wife watched porn a bit every day it would mean absolutely nothing to me. Unless we agreed it was a no no.”
That's exactly the thing that I had to explain to someone else on reddit. They seemed angry at me and asked why I was being so controlling. In reality, when I told him my preference, he agreed without hesitation. He acted like he was happy to give it up so I was like ” sure let's do it”. I also want to act that he PREACHED how it would be cheating if I watched it. A lot of the time's when he asked if I was cheating, he would ask if I was looking at other men, finding them attracting, etc.
My point with this post was that it was agreed on and he had similar expectations. However, when he was the one to break it, he acted like it would only be cheating if I was the one to do it.
interesting. so what i’m hearing is instead of being witty, funny and perfect try to form a deeper connection with them but also be a little witty funny and perfect?
As a Christian I've read your post and I'm HONESTLY not trying to religion bash you but point end of the stick is you are NOT actually a Christian you are spiritual I'd go as far to say as you “believe in a higher power” but as invasive as the sexual intimacy talk goes it's a major part of our faith (not saying other Christian haven't failed here either ) and if you feel that much conviction about it then you two are no longer compatable. Think long term for a moment how is this marriage going to look with his relationship with God growing how will that impact you and children and morals how will.his side.of the family interact with you and so forth. Do NOT SUBMIT TO THIS WAY OF.LIFE if you CANNOT wholly first commit to God it's not going to work Im not religion bashing you ok.xx hope.you figure out what's best for you you are still single untill you are married so YOU are your number one priority here x
She lives at my place, difficult to walk out. When we argue, she tries to leave but I request her not to leave. I am waiting for her to cheat so I can leave her forever. I made it clear the night she is not staying with me, it will be ‘the end’
It's not appropriate to be friends with people you've slept with while in a relationship. He's blatantly disrespecting your relationship and he WILL cheat
Okay, first of all, extending his contract and effectively deciding where you would online for the first three years of your marriage without consulting you is a huge red flag. It's beyond inconsiderate that you were not a part of that decision process as his fiancée. Now he's uprooted your life and career (I'm unclear why the dog couldn't come along but that's also terrible) without your input.
Whatever you do, you need to be clear with him that that was not okay. You're a person with your own life!
Personally, this is not something I would go along with just to keep the peace and keep the wedding on. But you'll have to think long and nude about this and make your own choices.
You need a paternity test. Are you 100% sure of how premature the baby is? Dod you go to doctor appointments, did the hospital confirm the baby is 20 weeks old? And do you have proof? because the timeline you’re giving makes 0 sense.
She's ready now. That's the timeline. Gun to your head is it a yes or no? My husband and I met at a weird time and we had to decide really quickly if we could see ourselves together for the long haul or if we should break up. Six months in we were engaged, a year later we were married a few years later and it's been the best! But we both knew very early on that we would work together. And by work I mean both that we got together but also that we WORK together to make our marriage happy one. It's never going to be perfect, you're two separate people. Can you accept her now as she is? If you can't accept who she is now, I don't think you'll ever be able to. You'll never know everything about each other because you will both change as time goes by. Do you trust her implicitly? Can you depend on her and her you? These are the only things you need to know.
I think they look at living situations. My son is going through this, and his lawyer told him his kid needs her own room, stuff like that. I doubt he'll get custody so long as he's living in a camper. Maybe visitation though.
Your nephew is innocent in all this unless he was raised to be an entitled little shit head (who knows, not me), BUT you can spend as much or as little on others as you want and it is your money. No one else can dictate how you spend it, how much or how little and for whom. So while I can empathize your position and experiences, you're giving your brother and his family ammo against you and your niece to be used against you to all who listen. Be the bigger person, but that doesn't mean dropping $250 on someone who feels entitled to your money. Put it somewhere out of your brother's reach maybe?
Have you gone to see a therapist? Or considered seeing a therapist?
Heartbreak and breakups are difficult especially when it happens in your adolescence, you’re growing and sometimes we don’t know how to cope at that age.
My boundary with boyfriends is you can’t talk or keep in touch with girls you’ve had your dick in. You guys are friends? Cool. You can choose between being friends with her or dating me.
I know you yanks lve a bit of therapy but you’re man is just horny. He’s doesn’t need therapy for that. Therapy for having OF, I’ve heard it all now ????
i’m in the process of healing. i was hurt really bad. this is the first girl i’ve really liked since my breakup. it sucks since i’ve already ruined it.
I have a male best friend with the same age gap in the opposite direction (I'm the older one).
We don't hold hands. Yes, we compliment each other but it's sincere. And not this sugary overly flattering bullshit. If he looks nice today I tell him he looks nice today. Not “OMGAAAAWD ur so HAAAANDSOME”. If he likes my shirt he tells me he likes my shirt. End of.
When we hang out we either go 50/50 or if one of us pays, the other pays the next time.
Sure, we hug, and sometimes lightly play fight. But we always have, for all the years we've known each other, which has always been platonic. That's just our dynamic and that's understood. It's not moving towards anything.
This guy likes the attention of having a much younger woman fawning all over him. So yes, OP, cut him off. He knew what he was doing. Getting the benefits of “dates” and breadcrumbing you without having any responsibilities towards his end of the relationship because He WaS jUsT bEiNg FrIeNdLy!!!!111one
Speaking from experience, I do not think you will ever be able to move past what he said even if you wanted to. Personally, I don’t think you should. As the original commenter said, believe people when they tell you who they are and what they think. However, I also think that you will hear those words in your head every time you look at him or every time you try to be intimate with him in the future. What he said cuts to the core of what a good relationship needs to have a solid foundation. He just took a jackhammer to that foundation. It hurts and it’s embarrassing to have to admit what feels like having chosen a spouse poorly, but it’s a lot less painful than the abuse he seems intent on visiting you. 8 months is still within the honeymoon phase for most couples and he couldn’t even pretend to be kind and caring for that long? RUN GIRL. You deserve happiness and respect. It may be worth talking to his children’s mother about any behavior he exhibited with her in the past that might concern you. Plan your exit quietly and safely and don’t be afraid to use your support system. Good luck.
I don’t know, I guess it’s not, but the issue is that he’s being a doormat who won’t communicate this to his own mother or sister! And they preach the importance of family constantly and love to act like such a loving family, and he complains to me all the time of their hypocrisy and the man is incapable of letting them know anything’s wrong. I am genuinely livid. I can’t see how he doesn’t see the problem. I’m not close to my family but I would voice this issue or be transparent about it – when he tried (after I repeatedly asked him), he asked her how he can help and didn’t even let on that there’s anything wrong. Is this genuineness and a kind heart, or is this just being a doormat
He deliverate was drinking with her knowing the boundary. Yes it was cheating. He lied about it
He still works at that pub (even though I asked him to leave and he is only working there for fun)
But that girl got moved to a different work location.
You don't even know who she is, how would you know he's not lying?
I feel like I deserve better
Because you do. He stomped on the boundary you set and reminded him of. He CHOSE to drink at work, he CHOSE to drink alone with her, he CHOSE, to go to her place and keep drinking. He was willfully ignoring your boundary all that time.
He cares more about his good time at the pub than your relationship or he'd leave the job. How much more clearly does he need to show you that you aren't that important. You don't mean more to him than that bar.
Thank you so much for the heads up and I will check out that subreddit. Those 3 descriptions sound accurate because his brother is the type that never bought the BS, whereas he is the one that takes it to heart.
Look, if he can't support her financially and he doesn't support her domestically, what is even the point? She has to be his mommy by paying all the bills and doing all the housework because?
He has a full time job but only pays the cable bill. Even if he's not making a liveable wage he has lots of disposable income if he doesnt have to pay for housing, utilities, or food. It's not “income shaming” to point out that he's not contributing fairly.
Chose what makes you happy. If you like the way things are going right now, why change it just to make someone else happy? That's just going to make you miserable.
I don't think what she's said to you is kind. From what I read after you wanted to stay physically close after sex you asked for that and then she said she'd never initiate sex again? That isn't kind. Implying you're only pretty because of make-up isn't kind or respectful… I'd rethink the relationship.
Bikes do not work in places that are really spread out or have actual weather. Can't ride a bike in deep snow. Not everywhere is built for bikes. My city for example has no bike racks or bike lanes. Not everywhere has a beach. Not all museums are free, the free ones tend to be in large areas not small towns so now I'm meant to bike 30 miles one way to get there?
There's plenty of solutions and free/cheap options but maybe don't be so condescending and remember that there is no perfect solution for every scenario.
You really must try to listen to the women in these comments. Saying “no” outright is at best, meaningless to many men (not just pick up artists lol) and dangerous at worst. Having lived in major cities most of my life, at 33 I have been hit on by strangers hundreds if not thousands of times. I have NEVER had a man graciously leave me alone when I’ve said no. Most- not some, MOST- get aggressive and frightening when you say no. Even in public spaces where I did feel generally safe. I’m queer and have had men plead, beg, harass and follow me while I am literally hand in hand with another woman, more times than I can count. This isn’t some kind of weird anomaly, this is completely normal to the majority of us.
You don't provide a lot of detail, but if a relationship hinders personal growth and undoes perceived progress the way you describe, then something is obviously not right with it. I also personally tend to stray away from people whose reactions to things are unpredictable and explosive.
It's a good sign that you're both in individual therapy and will also be attending couples therapy soon. That suggests you're both at least interested in getting better and hopefully turning your relationship into a healthy one. However, none of it guarantees that you will actually be successful, and I think that's something you need to look out for.
You should listen to your gut and do whatever you feel is best for yourself regardless of the efforts you are both currently putting into the relationship. It's fine if your gut tells you you're not quite done trying to make the relationship work, but if you change your mind later, that's ok too.
I really appreciate the advice. I will definitely be having a conversation tnt with this insight in mind. We need to discuss the financial and cleaning aspect in more depth and that’s clear to me now. Thank you!
In you’re defense you’re still young and figuring out what you want in life and in a boyfriend/husband. He might always be the one that got away from you but he probably won’t be the only one you love.
I had a similar experience where I was in your BF position and I also didn’t want to get back into the relationship with her. The trust had been broken. What it sounds like to a man when you say you want to experience dating others is one of 2 things. You want to sleep around a little bit or her not good enough for you and you want to find someone better. Either of these things aren’t acceptable to any man with even a little self respect. In actuality it can be 100s of different reasons but those 2 will always be in the back of his mind nagging at him. Even the most secure man would struggle with that so the only option is to not have a relationship if he wants to maintain his sanity.
There is no reason to be anxious. I'm sure he will love the dessert and special time alone with his GF. It's not a contest. He can have a great time with his friends AND have a great time with his partner.
I hope you at least consider that he mau have done what he wanted to do. You responded badly, so he may have blamed trauma for why he did it. People can be very manipulative when they want to be. That may not be the case, but worth thinking hard on.
Don't bother. My wife and I raped each other at the exact same time on our wedding night because hey, we were drunk and had sex!
The people pushing the idea that you can't hook up with your GF/BF if they've drank are not concerned with consent. They are concerned with putting on a little show of how moral they are, and don't care if they do active harm in the process. “Consent” is just the excuse they use to posture, not something they genuinely care about. That's why they're willing to completely ignore context (like an existing relationship or that he asked for his dick to be sucked)
It's fucking disgusting people prioritize their little moral display over actual sexual assault victims. That they water down actually taking advantage of someone who is not in a state to consent to be in the same category as “I'm too drunk to actively fuck. Will you suck my dick?” “okay” “nvm too drunk for that too, lets cuddle” between a boyfriend and girlfriend as “sexual assault”.
Look your dad was low for cheating. Your mother is also low for asking you to severe ties with your dad. One didn’t affect you as badly as an adult, and the other is willingly asking you to destroy your relationships.
I’m older so I think differently. I’ve fixed my stuff so I’m not interested in anyone who hasn’t. We all have stuff. My analogy. I have a full plate. Appetizer, main dish, side dishes and it’s a really great plate. So unless you’re bringing an awesome dessert, I am not your person.
I didn’t know that about the first trimester miscarriage with PCOS. Is there a specific reason why? I got diagnosed a year ago and I understand that getting pregnant is a lot more difficult because the ovaries aren’t always releasing eggs, but I haven’t heard about miscarriage when finally pregnant. Not that I intend on having kids, just curious.
Sooo what is your reason for not being okay with it.? He’s a kid and he’s bonding with your wife, his mother. They will probably both cherish these moments far into the future.
I agree with the people posting; be as sneaky as your wife was (or rather sneakier, don’t get caught.) Collect evidence of her cheating and plans to defraud the court in a ploy for money. Consult a lawyer and follow their advice on what financial moves to make to get in the best situation without compromising your position in court. Be sneaky the whole time. Then, when you’re fully prepared, enjoy the look on her face when you tell her that she’s getting the divorce she wants but none of the rest.
Sorry this happened to you. I hope you cram it up her cramhole. Cheaters are the fucking worst.
He could say the exact same thing about you though. “Wow honey, your hair makes you look like a pig, it's really unattractive. I'm shriveling up over here. You look insanely creepy.” you're telling me you'd sympathize with that?
What's creepy about a mustache? If you attribute your husband's mustache to being a pedo, you have your own problems to deal with. Or does autonomy over one's body not matter now?
This would still be weird if your wife was a cis woman. If two cis women had a baby together, but only one had been pregnant and could produce milk, it would be weird for the other woman to try and breastfeed. It's true that she might still be jealous of the ability to breastfeed, but no one would expect her to still try.
She's using your baby to sooth her dysphoria. Not cool. And not cool to call you a transphobe over it.
No matter what happens, do not, under any circumstances, speak negatively about their mother.
I was a solo parent from day one, which is different than being a divorced parent, but ultimately it's the same thing. Kids are smart little shits, and they pick up when stuff isn't right.
Be honest with them. At this age, it's “Mom and Dad aren't going to online together anymore, but you will have two places to on-line. We both love you very much.” Then proceed to help them with any emotions they have. It's most likely going to be the fear of the unknown, and abandonment fears that pop up first. Your 3 year old may regress a little with speaking/potty training. Totally normal, but worth keeping a close watch on.
I am sorry that this is the outcome, but it won't be the end of the world.
You named her exactly after her half sibling to hide your affair and you forced her to parent her four-year-old brother and take care of her dying father at age 6 and you think she’s acting entitled? Or you can make as many posts as you want, but no one is going to be able to help you because the right thing for her to do was walk away and go no contact. You’re just upset she’s not an ATM.
I think dating anyone with different religious beliefs will result in similar situations. The reality is that his religion was more important to him and his identity than you were. I don't know how religious you are but I can tell to your family it is important as well. If you don't care about religion when it comes to relationships then you would probably need to separate from your family anyway as that seems to be a dealbreaker for them. Either way if you think your kids would not be influenced by religion until they chose then you are blind to the situation you were in. Him and his family's religious views would be prevalent and your family would most likely have influence as well.
In my opinion you should either abandon religion as a self identifier or start looking for people within your own religion as this conflict will return. But even if you abandon your family and religion just to show this man you prefer him just the way he is, it will most likely be you converting to his religion either passively or actively. Either way I don't see you coming out of this without losing something
Here’s the awful truth: it wasn’t the alcohol or your pant size that made him abusive. That’s just the way he is! And yes, it’s probably from his childhood trauma. But if your love and commitment was going to heal him from that it would have happened already. Your choice is to stay and be abused forever, or to let go of him and find some happiness and healing on your own.
I don’t really think you can save this relationship. He is clearly cheating, both emotionally and most likely physically. The ring is another red flag, his lying about it. You should consider a plan to separate from him and make plans to coparent with your child and for him to pay full support, unless he will go completely NC with this other person, establish and keep acceptable boundaries for you to be safe and go to counseling. If he cannot do this for you, he is not the one for you.
this is my personal opinion, us women function mostly with emotions (most of us). we love random acts of compassion once in a while ‘just because flowers’. when y’all were in the early stages of the relationship she must have had so much hope and excitement to eventually get married and so on. you on the other hand had different plans. you prioritised other things and the marriage was last which maybe fair for you but not necessarily fair for her at all. she broke all her family rules and came with you bc she loves you so much. where you put her at last. do you see what you did. i’m not blaming you but i think you should be more grateful and get your priorities straight. i personally think you should still propose to her despite what she said. it doesn’t have to be a grand gesture but try to do something nice on the day you pop the question. please communicate more. please date each other. real ones are so hard to come by please cherish the gem you have.
Yeah I guess staying with him after this is out of the question…i’ve just rarely felt so unlovable in my life to be honest
Want some advice? OK….here's some advice.
Check yourself.
You have big changes coming in your life and rather than do that
you are hunting for someone to take care of you.
Its Your version of what we here in America call to “Post-High School Blues”
or the “Post High School Panic”. Friends are going their own way, you never took
stock of what you were going to do, so now your “plans” are not “really” your
own and change the size of a Mack Truck is bearing down on you.
Recess is over. Time to get back in the game.

The correct answer to these idiotic body-count questions should always be “I'm with you now.” Privacy is ALWAYS acceptable.

Do not accept paternity and do not raise that child. Dump the ho and she can go after the man that knocked her up.
She lives at my place, difficult to walk out. When we argue, she tries to leave but I request her not to leave. I am waiting for her to cheat so I can leave her forever. I made it clear the night she is not staying with me, it will be ‘the end’
Emotional cheating is a thing for sure. My ex did this. Your feelings are valid.
It's not appropriate to be friends with people you've slept with while in a relationship. He's blatantly disrespecting your relationship and he WILL cheat
You're fucking weird and I hope you never have children.

its a trap. my advice is with women that try and test you. you drop them and move on. life is too short to be played with
But he was totally a victim right?! Surely op is mature for their age and he always treated her right?!
Oh no, my family is racist. My girlfriend's mom is the one who invited me. She treats me well.
But I think I get what you mean. I have enough money and everything to take care of myself.
She's ready now. That's the timeline. Gun to your head is it a yes or no? My husband and I met at a weird time and we had to decide really quickly if we could see ourselves together for the long haul or if we should break up.

Its possible you are both pretty naive if you haven't figured out this was a date.
My boundary with boyfriends is you can’t talk or keep in touch with girls you’ve had your dick in. You guys are friends? Cool. You can choose between being friends with her or dating me.
If they have kids together, that’s different.
So what happened when you confronted her with the new info?
♥️
Just say leave it till Black Friday! Or leave Christmas a surprise I think your parents may have picked something similar.
What do you do? You don’t do anything. We’ve all got choices to make. If he chooses to not be in the room for his child’s birth…then that’s on him.
Happy Almost bday! ask him what he has planned for your bday – what you guys are going to do? You can be a bit light and cheeky about it. ?
I know you yanks lve a bit of therapy but you’re man is just horny. He’s doesn’t need therapy for that. Therapy for having OF, I’ve heard it all now ????
I got ya, I normally don’t give a shot either, but you made a logical statement and it bugged me it was downvoted
i’m in the process of healing. i was hurt really bad. this is the first girl i’ve really liked since my breakup. it sucks since i’ve already ruined it.
Sounds like you don’t actually know at all
I have a male best friend with the same age gap in the opposite direction (I'm the older one).
We don't hold hands. Yes, we compliment each other but it's sincere. And not this sugary overly flattering bullshit. If he looks nice today I tell him he looks nice today. Not “OMGAAAAWD ur so HAAAANDSOME”. If he likes my shirt he tells me he likes my shirt. End of.

I’m not close to my family but I would voice this issue or be transparent about it – when he tried (after I repeatedly asked him), he asked her how he can help and didn’t even let on that there’s anything wrong. Is this genuineness and a kind heart, or is this just being a doormat
He deliverate was drinking with her knowing the boundary. Yes it was cheating. He lied about it
He still works at that pub (even though I asked him to leave and he is only working there for fun)
But that girl got moved to a different work location.
You don't even know who she is, how would you know he's not lying?
I feel like I deserve better
Because you do. He stomped on the boundary you set and reminded him of. He CHOSE to drink at work, he CHOSE to drink alone with her, he CHOSE, to go to her place and keep drinking. He was willfully ignoring your boundary all that time.
He cares more about his good time at the pub than your relationship or he'd leave the job. How much more clearly does he need to show you that you aren't that important. You don't mean more to him than that bar.
The likes the idea of a stable man committing to her, and at the same time is excited that she has options.
Tell her that you are now going to explore your own options.
Thank you so much for the heads up and I will check out that subreddit. Those 3 descriptions sound accurate because his brother is the type that never bought the BS, whereas he is the one that takes it to heart.
Look, if he can't support her financially and he doesn't support her domestically, what is even the point? She has to be his mommy by paying all the bills and doing all the housework because?
He has a full time job but only pays the cable bill. Even if he's not making a liveable wage he has lots of disposable income if he doesnt have to pay for housing, utilities, or food. It's not “income shaming” to point out that he's not contributing fairly.
Chose what makes you happy. If you like the way things are going right now, why change it just to make someone else happy? That's just going to make you miserable.
Why can I not see the comments?
Dump him – not only is he flaunting his abysmal cheating in your face, HE IS SEXUALLY HARRASSING HIS EMPLOYEES. Why are you with this absolute cunt?
I don't think what she's said to you is kind. From what I read after you wanted to stay physically close after sex you asked for that and then she said she'd never initiate sex again? That isn't kind. Implying you're only pretty because of make-up isn't kind or respectful… I'd rethink the relationship.
Bikes do not work in places that are really spread out or have actual weather. Can't ride a bike in deep snow. Not everywhere is built for bikes. My city for example has no bike racks or bike lanes. Not everywhere has a beach. Not all museums are free, the free ones tend to be in large areas not small towns so now I'm meant to bike 30 miles one way to get there?
There's plenty of solutions and free/cheap options but maybe don't be so condescending and remember that there is no perfect solution for every scenario.
To me, that would be far more likely a hint towards 'take a shower right before coming over, maybe some nice deodorant while your at it'.
I can't think of any correlation between 'I'm cleaning my room' and 'bring condoms'
You really must try to listen to the women in these comments. Saying “no” outright is at best, meaningless to many men (not just pick up artists lol) and dangerous at worst. Having lived in major cities most of my life, at 33 I have been hit on by strangers hundreds if not thousands of times. I have NEVER had a man graciously leave me alone when I’ve said no. Most- not some, MOST- get aggressive and frightening when you say no. Even in public spaces where I did feel generally safe. I’m queer and have had men plead, beg, harass and follow me while I am literally hand in hand with another woman, more times than I can count. This isn’t some kind of weird anomaly, this is completely normal to the majority of us.
You don't provide a lot of detail, but if a relationship hinders personal growth and undoes perceived progress the way you describe, then something is obviously not right with it. I also personally tend to stray away from people whose reactions to things are unpredictable and explosive.
It's a good sign that you're both in individual therapy and will also be attending couples therapy soon. That suggests you're both at least interested in getting better and hopefully turning your relationship into a healthy one. However, none of it guarantees that you will actually be successful, and I think that's something you need to look out for.
You should listen to your gut and do whatever you feel is best for yourself regardless of the efforts you are both currently putting into the relationship. It's fine if your gut tells you you're not quite done trying to make the relationship work, but if you change your mind later, that's ok too.
I really appreciate the advice. I will definitely be having a conversation tnt with this insight in mind. We need to discuss the financial and cleaning aspect in more depth and that’s clear to me now. Thank you!
That sounds like a typical endearing thing to say. Nothing to worry about.
In you’re defense you’re still young and figuring out what you want in life and in a boyfriend/husband. He might always be the one that got away from you but he probably won’t be the only one you love.
I had a similar experience where I was in your BF position and I also didn’t want to get back into the relationship with her. The trust had been broken. What it sounds like to a man when you say you want to experience dating others is one of 2 things. You want to sleep around a little bit or her not good enough for you and you want to find someone better. Either of these things aren’t acceptable to any man with even a little self respect. In actuality it can be 100s of different reasons but those 2 will always be in the back of his mind nagging at him. Even the most secure man would struggle with that so the only option is to not have a relationship if he wants to maintain his sanity.
There is no reason to be anxious. I'm sure he will love the dessert and special time alone with his GF. It's not a contest. He can have a great time with his friends AND have a great time with his partner.
Maybe?
These things don't tend to happen overnight, might have been named before you met.
I hope you at least consider that he mau have done what he wanted to do. You responded badly, so he may have blamed trauma for why he did it. People can be very manipulative when they want to be. That may not be the case, but worth thinking hard on.
Don't bother. My wife and I raped each other at the exact same time on our wedding night because hey, we were drunk and had sex!
The people pushing the idea that you can't hook up with your GF/BF if they've drank are not concerned with consent. They are concerned with putting on a little show of how moral they are, and don't care if they do active harm in the process. “Consent” is just the excuse they use to posture, not something they genuinely care about. That's why they're willing to completely ignore context (like an existing relationship or that he asked for his dick to be sucked)
It's fucking disgusting people prioritize their little moral display over actual sexual assault victims. That they water down actually taking advantage of someone who is not in a state to consent to be in the same category as “I'm too drunk to actively fuck. Will you suck my dick?” “okay” “nvm too drunk for that too, lets cuddle” between a boyfriend and girlfriend as “sexual assault”.
Thank you I will do my best to keep reminding myself
Look your dad was low for cheating. Your mother is also low for asking you to severe ties with your dad. One didn’t affect you as badly as an adult, and the other is willingly asking you to destroy your relationships.
I’m older so I think differently. I’ve fixed my stuff so I’m not interested in anyone who hasn’t. We all have stuff. My analogy. I have a full plate. Appetizer, main dish, side dishes and it’s a really great plate. So unless you’re bringing an awesome dessert, I am not your person.
I didn’t know that about the first trimester miscarriage with PCOS. Is there a specific reason why? I got diagnosed a year ago and I understand that getting pregnant is a lot more difficult because the ovaries aren’t always releasing eggs, but I haven’t heard about miscarriage when finally pregnant. Not that I intend on having kids, just curious.
I'd draw the same conclusion, she raped him then let him be humiliated
Lol another ragebait fake post.
Sooo what is your reason for not being okay with it.? He’s a kid and he’s bonding with your wife, his mother. They will probably both cherish these moments far into the future.
I agree with the people posting; be as sneaky as your wife was (or rather sneakier, don’t get caught.) Collect evidence of her cheating and plans to defraud the court in a ploy for money. Consult a lawyer and follow their advice on what financial moves to make to get in the best situation without compromising your position in court. Be sneaky the whole time. Then, when you’re fully prepared, enjoy the look on her face when you tell her that she’s getting the divorce she wants but none of the rest.
Sorry this happened to you. I hope you cram it up her cramhole. Cheaters are the fucking worst.
Of course you say something. He’s cheating.
You are a cheater. Tell your wife that you want to chase this other woman.
Recognize that you are destroying your marriage with your continued actions and disrespect to your wife.
I personally would think it looked super sexy, so, ymmv.
He could say the exact same thing about you though. “Wow honey, your hair makes you look like a pig, it's really unattractive. I'm shriveling up over here. You look insanely creepy.” you're telling me you'd sympathize with that?
What's creepy about a mustache? If you attribute your husband's mustache to being a pedo, you have your own problems to deal with. Or does autonomy over one's body not matter now?
This would still be weird if your wife was a cis woman. If two cis women had a baby together, but only one had been pregnant and could produce milk, it would be weird for the other woman to try and breastfeed. It's true that she might still be jealous of the ability to breastfeed, but no one would expect her to still try.
She's using your baby to sooth her dysphoria. Not cool. And not cool to call you a transphobe over it.
She needs a therapist, and your child isn't that.
This is a gross comment
No matter what happens, do not, under any circumstances, speak negatively about their mother.
I was a solo parent from day one, which is different than being a divorced parent, but ultimately it's the same thing. Kids are smart little shits, and they pick up when stuff isn't right.
Be honest with them. At this age, it's “Mom and Dad aren't going to online together anymore, but you will have two places to on-line. We both love you very much.” Then proceed to help them with any emotions they have. It's most likely going to be the fear of the unknown, and abandonment fears that pop up first. Your 3 year old may regress a little with speaking/potty training. Totally normal, but worth keeping a close watch on.
I am sorry that this is the outcome, but it won't be the end of the world.
Oh no he’s a much much better parent- at least she has a good role model now.
You named her exactly after her half sibling to hide your affair and you forced her to parent her four-year-old brother and take care of her dying father at age 6 and you think she’s acting entitled? Or you can make as many posts as you want, but no one is going to be able to help you because the right thing for her to do was walk away and go no contact. You’re just upset she’s not an ATM.
I think dating anyone with different religious beliefs will result in similar situations. The reality is that his religion was more important to him and his identity than you were. I don't know how religious you are but I can tell to your family it is important as well. If you don't care about religion when it comes to relationships then you would probably need to separate from your family anyway as that seems to be a dealbreaker for them. Either way if you think your kids would not be influenced by religion until they chose then you are blind to the situation you were in. Him and his family's religious views would be prevalent and your family would most likely have influence as well.
In my opinion you should either abandon religion as a self identifier or start looking for people within your own religion as this conflict will return. But even if you abandon your family and religion just to show this man you prefer him just the way he is, it will most likely be you converting to his religion either passively or actively. Either way I don't see you coming out of this without losing something
Here’s the awful truth: it wasn’t the alcohol or your pant size that made him abusive. That’s just the way he is! And yes, it’s probably from his childhood trauma. But if your love and commitment was going to heal him from that it would have happened already. Your choice is to stay and be abused forever, or to let go of him and find some happiness and healing on your own.
I am very sorry for your loss.
I don’t really think you can save this relationship. He is clearly cheating, both emotionally and most likely physically. The ring is another red flag, his lying about it. You should consider a plan to separate from him and make plans to coparent with your child and for him to pay full support, unless he will go completely NC with this other person, establish and keep acceptable boundaries for you to be safe and go to counseling. If he cannot do this for you, he is not the one for you.
