My two cents: hubby and in-laws feel inferior to you… in order to bring you down a peg or two (bring you to their level instead of feeling confident in themselves) they make fun of you.. so you have two options.. you can ignore it or you can do something about it. If you are not willing to set boundaries and enforce them (aka leave the situation) then just ignore them….
Nah, I’m with you tbh OP. I bought my fiancée all new toys for us. I know it’s a little irrational, but whatever, sometimes our preferences and insecurities are irrational.
Then you're not ready for dating, and it sounds like focusing on your studies and whatever mental health problems you have mentioned is the best thing for you to do right now.
I have been so much happier and empowered not constantly seeking or needing my boyfriends compliments, attention or approval to lift myself up. I do it myself. And it feels way more meaningful. And now when he teases me lightly I don't jump down his throat anymore and ruin our night with my insecurities and bad mood. Internal validation has really improved my self esteem. Good comment.
be honest. if you keeping it from her then she won't know. it's something that she can change, relationship is a compromise. loving someone unconditionally doesn't mean your partner has the license to become lazy.
The problem I see is that my partner knew that my ex was in my life from the beginning. He tried to give me an ultimatum earlier and I told him I would choose my friend at that stage simply for the fact that I will never accept ultimatums in a relationship.
And here we are again.
I'm wondering if he proposed simply to up the ante.
I'm loyal and honest to a fault. He doesn't trust my ex and his motives but it looks like he doesn't trust me in actuality.
She's the one who made it an issue not me

Because there isn't IUDs or a prescription contraception for men
