You need to draw a line in the sand. If you’re not ready for a child, wear a condom and tell her she needs to use a contraceptive as well or get back on the pill. You also don’t know if you two will last and 18 years of child-support is a motherfucker.
If you've ever dated anyone in the past tell them that you're you're ex is a lot harder than he'll ever be in the physical aspects but you have a way better personality and see how we responds
23F here. Sex can be emotional for a lot of us. Sometimes bad, sometimes good. I have definitely had good cries after sex just because of how much stress I was able to release during it. Just be attentive and communicate is all.
The most you can do its yourself tell your parents everything shes Blackmailing you about so her main weapon is gone, further on make a test to if the baby if really yours, if it is, then only after his born you will have the most difficult part, find a way to not let your ex make your son/daughter hate you, seens Very hot now but after the baby is born and the custody send to her it will be way harde4

Tbh I’d have hit the road when the first sexting incident happened, seems that his attitude towards women is appalling and very sexist.
Children in the mix always makes it more difficult but I’d seriously consider couple counselling or breaking up and finding someone who will respect you (and all women for that matter) a lot better
Keep dating him if you like, but I do see the rushing to live! together as a big red flag. Not necessarily a narcissist, but someone who doesn't think things through carefully.
Exactly. There’s no guarantee he won’t back them up before “deleting” if OP asks first and honestly she would do a favor to the ex since it’s a really icky situation for both women.
Talking to a professional— ie a couples counselor or your own counselor, which is what this user is implying— is not “telling anybody.” It is telling one person who can help you process this, OP.
Occasionally I will just so I don't have to hear the over dramatic moans from hetero porn but sometimes even those play it up, that's why you gotta stick to the old rose lol
Your husband fucked up and he wants YOU to tell him how to fix it?!?!
This is HIS PROBLEM.
Your message to him should now be:
“I have had time to think about this.
You fucked up things by often prioritizing your friend. It isn't my job to help you fix this. You need to spend the mental work figuring out a solution to something you fucked up.
Stop asking me what you need to do to fix this. I don't know the answer.
YOU broke this. YOU figure it out.”
He's trying to put the WORK on you to solve this. Fuck that.
It still isn't prioritizing you, it is giving you homework.
NTA. Your wife chose to have a child when you didn't want one, when she made this choice you ceased being compatible as a couple.
You may want to seek legal advice regarding any legal/financial responsibilities due to being married. As you weren't involved in the decision to have a child in your marriage, I'm assuming you don't want to be listed as a parent on the birth certificate and made responsible for child support.
As a 27f married to a narcissist/alcoholic/pathological liar… You have created an environment where he feels like lying is the only way to keep the peace. You say his friends force him. Unless they are tying him down and forcing him to drink there is no force. He wants to drink with the boys. Every time he drank you threw a fit. You blew up his phone worried when you knew he was out drinking and probably wouldn't respond. You asked a question because you assumed something and then tried to prove he was lying by facetiming (tired can look drunk btw). You are digging your heels in that he is lying about being drunk when you hung up on him assuming so based on a middle of the night face time. And regardless of if he was drunk or not he safely got home via taxi and was cleaning up to go to bed. You have now created an environment in the relationship that he feels like if he drinks one beer or if he gets hammered he has to hide it. A grown ass man feels like he has no freedom to enjoy a pass time that you have not given any indication he shouldn't do. It doesn't sound like he NEEDS to drink but that he wants to do it socially. It sounds like he is responsible when he does over indulge and your issue you are throwing a fit over is that he isn't keeping you updated with a play by play. While worrying for someone is justifiable, blowing up every time someone does something is not ok and it creates a hostile relationship dynamic. He is 29. If he wants to drink and not txt you he is welcome to. Your not married. Your not engaged. you don't live together. When he comes and goes or if he is drinking is not your problem… If he shows no markers for being irresponsible or addicted to it then He should be allowed a night out with the boys with out his GF blowing up his phone if he doesn't give a play by play…
Are references not a thing where you are? Surely he needed to wait for a reference from current employers to be requested and received by the potential new employer before a formal offer of the job is provided? I've always known the first offers mention “dependent on references”. It's why we don't all leave our jobs in this fashion, as satisfying as it would be!
I see, like I said he might have done it jokingly though. And I might be a bit over sensitive/over emotional haha. He’s the kinda guy that says it jokingly, I just wasn’t expecting he to say it like that to me.
You buy what you want, what you think is necessary, and what you can afford. You don’t buy anything just because he wants it. So, you don’t buy a tv & you don’t buy garden furniture.
It’s just as well – you won’t have to dicker over things when he leaves.
As friendly as I am with my ex, I have never asked to go see my Kitty kiddos WITH him. I’ve always asked that he leave the room, if not the apartment (he would go to the gym or grocery shopping then)- even during being single- so that my visit was focused solely on seeing the loves of my life
He can't take responsibility for his child and refuses to have any contact. A normal person would take a paternity test if he's so confident this isnt his child. This is a red flag. Be careful having kids with a person like this.
I would go around introducing my son as my son to make him feel he is fully accepted, wife in tow. I would also expect my wife to sincerely apologize to my son, and to everyone else for a malicious lie set to ALIENATE my son from the family and community.
If she still doesn’t understands how egregiously she messed up, I would start to question her morals and character.
I would also become super concerned about what narrative she is feeding the younger children about their older brother.
She was so worried about what people would think, well now people think she is a liar, a snob and a bully.

I’m at a loss right now. Yesterday we’re driving and on our way to dinner. We got stuck behind someone double parked and so we start backing out to go a different way. Some guy is in the crosswalk and naturally he gets pissed. My wife (31F) is the one driving, and yeah she has a city temper, but it happens right. The typical little exchange takes place, no harm is done, and the guy starts walking away.
But that wasn’t good enough for her, she completely lost herself and was trying to jump out of the car. My (31M) focus at this point was to keep her in the car and to keep that guy walking away.
I was able to get her to sit back down, but she kept running her mouth, which kept the guy there cursing back. I was far from silent, but I was trying to yell at him to just keep walking. It’s at this point that he then threw what I assume to be almonds or something at us. A couple of them made it in the window.
Now I’m pissed. Of course I’m pissed. My wife is pissed. But everyone’s alright. Somewhere I manage to get her to just drive away.
Now, since that happened, she has made it clear to me that she cannot rely on me. That I am incapable of protecting her. That I am not masculine and that she expected more from me. Believe me, I expected more from me too, but the kicker here…
I just had back surgery 2 days ago.
What am I supposed to do in this situation?? Hobble out of the car and go pick a fight?
So now my wife of 3 years (been together for 5) wants a divorce because I’m not man enough for her.
Thank you for the detailed response. In my case the concerns that they’ve raised are that I’m putting money into a career when I don’t know for sure that this career is right for me. They’ve suggested that I do an internship first. That would be constructive criticism if I hadn’t already signed up for and was starting training soon. So at this point I feel like while their concerns aren’t wrong, at this point in time they’re not useful anymore since they’re simply too late.
Because the only solution that made sense to me is to go their separate ways, but you’re even telling her she shouldn’t do that. You obviously don’t think it would be reasonable for her to expect the same sacrifices of him she’s been making for him for a decade. So, not so much assumptions as a straightforward interpretation.
Only really abusive parents lose custody (assuming they want it). If cheaters weren't allowed custody there would be a whole lot of children without homes. Why would anyone want a child being cared for by relatives or a nanny instead of a loving caring parent? A job involving overnights isn't like a normal job, you can't just hire a random babysitter or ask anyone to help out a bit.
I would like to add that for all levity this 90ies lyrics provide for some and is obscure for others – if it feels creepy and it sounds creepy and looks creepy it probably very much is creepy.
Why would there be a necessity of your supervisor ever touching your knee or complimenting your eyelashes? Independently of age. That’s not nice, that’s exploiting a situation with someone dependent on a job / practicing / volunteering.
There are strict guidelines about how much time has to pass before one can be friends or more with their former therapist.
This sounds like the therapy ended for the purpose of having a personal, not professional, relationship.
Violating this rule is the top reason therapists’ state licenses are revoked.
What I think you’re missing is that’s client is vulnerable, can have a serious mental illness, and may disclose their deepest darkest secrets to their therapist. In short, they put their life in the therapist’s hands.
What if this guy told the therapist intimate details about his wife, then therapy ends and they meet for breakfast? A breakfast that behind from his wife? I’m a therapist and this makes me sick.
OP, go on your Secretary of State web page and go to the license page. Plug in her name and her license number should come up, along with any history of suspensions. Somewhere on or near that page will be instructions for reporting. But get more nude evidence first.
Get a tattoo of something really dumb, like a disco cat dropping acid on the moon and dedicate it to him. Then dump him. Fuck that guy, tattoos are cool.
Why do you want to have sex with someone who is such a piece of shit? Why haven’t you left? You really want to raise a kid in this environment? Him being all perfect now doesn’t change the fact he was probably cheating and was/is abusive. Girl. You are still young, get out and be free of this guy.
Stand your ground.
Your last piece is honestly all that matters. It’s a wasted comparison. She’s your partner’s brother’s fiancé. That’s what he wants.
Your partner wants you. Do you think you’re completely worthless?
You need to draw a line in the sand. If you’re not ready for a child, wear a condom and tell her she needs to use a contraceptive as well or get back on the pill. You also don’t know if you two will last and 18 years of child-support is a motherfucker.
does that count as cheating :/

Does she have any contact with him? By now she should have blocked her exs.

Its very black and white here.
You cant lead someone on knowing your life goals and aspirations don’t line even remotely up with theirs.
End it.
The “refusal to entertain it” is the part I sorta struggle with, but I've gotten a lot of good tips from the comments so far.
Occasionally I will just so I don't have to hear the over dramatic moans from hetero porn but sometimes even those play it up, that's why you gotta stick to the old rose lol
Knock Knock
OP…”who's there?”
Knocker….”trouble, disfunction, instability, illness, red flag, sleepless nights for you, insurmountable issues”
OP…..”welcome, please come in”
Knocker….”maybe i shouldn't”
OP…..”I insist”
Dude…
Yea this should be reported in any case
EXACTLY MY POINT

He's trying to put the WORK on you to solve this. Fuck that.
It still isn't prioritizing you, it is giving you homework.
You’re right. Was too stupid to see all the red flags.
NTA. Your wife chose to have a child when you didn't want one, when she made this choice you ceased being compatible as a couple.

Please just leave. There’s a reason why he targeted you when you were 19. It will only get worse.

Listen, I’m fundamentally against snooping. But what’s done is done. You did it. You found tangible evidence of a legitimate problem.
So yes, tell her. Might she respond that you’re in the wrong for snooping? Likely. But does you being wrong change reality?
I see, like I said he might have done it jokingly though. And I might be a bit over sensitive/over emotional haha. He’s the kinda guy that says it jokingly, I just wasn’t expecting he to say it like that to me.
