my partner changes with other female friends? like a lot of dudes don’t understand it but it’s a thing girls do n just get naked around each other. never considered that as competition lmao. u gonna start flipping out on him when he’s in the gym locker room showering?
Call the police, it's the only way to stop him from using suicide to emotionally blackmail you again every time he doesn't get his way. Knowing you will not hesitate to call the police will, hopefully, stop repeated behaviour like this.
Yes we share one car I’d have no way of getting there since he’s so foot down on going without me plus we have kids I rather he skip a year and he refuses to do that too
I wish he would make friends outside the event yet he keeps choosing places like festivals to do so and Amit’s he doesn’t want me to go I get need a life outside of marriage but how he talks about things at times come off that he enjoys women noticing him I also feel he has a wondering eye as well yet again can’t talk to him about that
Not sure about him having a mid life crisis seeing how he’s been back and forth for years tbh
We are trying to get into marriage counseling but with it being full we have to wait
Not really. I don't have many friends as it is and I'm just scared that if I don't say anything Nothing is gonna happen but I do then something bad is gonna happen
He's really nice. He talks to me almost every day when he's not bust with work. He calls me beautiful and treats me so genuinely and gently. He's not mean to me in any way. It's a really good relationship
For starters yes its very difficult. Nobody likes being controlled. A lot of people will make you try to feel dumb/stupid for letting people “control” you. I don’t think reality is ever that simple. You are the only one with enough context to determine your situation.
The rest of the sub may disagree, thankfully the rest of the sub don’t have to deal with the repercussions, and my girlfriend (to my knowledge) finds our arrangements agreeable. A good indicator for me personally of control vs sacrifice is wether or not the other person understands that you are giving something up.
For instance I acknowledge that my girlfriend has given up a portion of her liberty in clothing for me. She acknowledges that I restrict some of my behavior around my guy friends for her. There is nothing inherently wrong with what we want to do.
An example of control would be closer to if i were to shame her for scandalous clothing. Something like saying “committed people don’t do things like that” and if she were to tell me “it’s weird and gross to do stuff like that with your friends”.
In the second scenario the controller is using some tactic to force the other persons hand rather than accepting who their S/O is but at the same time standing their own ground on what they expect in a relationship.
Also, I’m just a guy on the internet. I cannot emphasize enough that the right call is the call you make. It’s your life so you should do what is in line with the person you want to be, not what some internet strangers with no stake in you tell you to be.
Cross that line. Ask her why said family member is trying to concern her with that information. Followed by “you feeling sad about that is affecting me”
It’s not you it’s me. That’s what she’s said to you. And it’s a perfectly legitimate reason to end something with someone. It could be she cheated. It could also be she just doesn’t like the way she is with you.
Well, if staying would make you miserable, it seems pretty clear that you have to move. Now the only questions are if you’re both up for long distance or not and what the end game would be (do you plan to move back eventually, would she eventually want to move with you, would you both move somewhere new after a period of time).
Your future plans not aligning would be an incompatibility worth breaking up over.
If you’re sad about paying for it then don’t get married. You’re the one who asked him to begin with. Sounds like to him this is just a big party that you’re throwing for your own whimsy.
Are you serious? NO this won’t work.
You can find anyone else YOUR age with these qualities! That doesn’t have divorce history and Kids!
And why is a 40+ man talking to someone that is close to his child’s age?!?
Break up with him immediately

Hope this was helpful!
It feels like there’s something else bothering you. I wouldn’t tell her if I were you.

Very helpful, thank you.

Youre meeting really weird/shit people. This is happening often? Sounds like you need to start making friends in new places.
If you’re sad about paying for it then don’t get married. You’re the one who asked him to begin with. Sounds like to him this is just a big party that you’re throwing for your own whimsy.
I really would appreciated an answer.
