I would either call his bluff and tell him “Ok go for it! Go be with them then” or start telling him when you find men attractive and if he starts to complain tell him..”Now you know how it feels when you tell me you find other women attractive. I will stop when you stop”. I think he is either worried that you will leave him, so he is trying to point out that he thinks all these other women that are attractive to make you jealous or he is a jerk.
The irony of you “feeling something you haven't felt in ages?” Sir, she isn't available! She will not leave her husband. What are you feeling? She must be drop dead gorgeous for you to loose commonsense.
Oh sweetie. Mom here. I’m going to guess that your friends see the situation pretty clearly. Starting a business takes all of your time plus some. If she succeeds, then she’ll get really busy. I’ve started businesses. Successful and not so much. She’s telling you that she doesn’t have space for you and you aren’t listening. I don’t want this to sound mean, but I would probably look down on a man that was willing to settle for my crumbs. I think most women want an equal. I’m sorry I can’t say what you so obviously want to hear.
You can use his mothers ring as your official ring but later put it somewhere safe and get another ring to wear day to day. That way you can keep the heirloom safe. I’m sure your SO will understand that.
I don't think very many women alive are going to do that, if I'm being honest. She had a lot of stuff going on, and it was her best friend's wedding. Having some kind of scene at that wedding would have caused her a lot of trouble for years with somebody she's probably known longer than she's known you.
Everything is a balance. You can't expect to be the only important relationship in her life, that's controlling. She was trying to balance her relationships and she didn't handle the balance in a way that didn't hurt you. And I'm sorry you were hurt, I would hope and expect she's also sorry you got hurt. She hopefully will learn from this situation to prioritize your feelings in this area more closely, but that's how we learn in life. We fail sometimes. If you can't tolerate the failure, okay, that's fine, you can on-line with what you can live with. But expecting human beings to not fail sometimes is not a reasonable ask.
He’s toxic and manipulative. Please get far far far away from this guy. ❣️

Great nick aswell
Help your son, a three year sacrifice could change the entire course of his life and your grandchildren's life and his future family's life.
Before yelling therapy, just have a normal talk with her. Therapy is not a substitute for adult or uncomfortable conversations

Lot of ignorance on OP's part haha. Shocking.
Sorry if your comments are being removed, I’m not sure why the mods are doing that. I’d like to read them.

I work part time as a model, and lately both industries have been busy. I don't have access to our joint income, we keep everything separate
