They're mad that their little doll has a mind of its own and is pushing back against them.
You will never maintain a good relationship with people who look at you like you're property, and not a human being with your own thoughts, ideas and feelings.
I had to let go of my family too. My mother was controlling like this. She fat shamed me frequently. She put me on a diet at 10. I wasn't even fat. I was a normal sized kid. No chub anywhere. But she hated me for whatever reason and started restricting what I could and could not eat.
I haven't spoken to her in almost 3 years. This is the best I've ever felt. My mental health is more important than her need to tear me down – which stems from her own self-hatred. She hated herself. She's been on every diet known to man. She was never thin enough or pretty enough. And she projected that onto me.
I’ve been married for 27 years and my wife at least stopped wearing her engagement ring ages ago. But she does wear the wedding ring all the time.
Her reason for not wearing the engagement ring is because the diamond is larger than the stones on the wedding band and she doesn’t want to lose it if she accidentally bangs it against something while out of the house. She will wear it if we go out together to an event.
From the way you described if he stays with you it would only be to please you and he would be miserable. If you want to see other people let the poor fella go
I honestly don’t see how this is a betrayal. And if this is your reaction due to insecurity that used to be even worse then I imagine that’s why he didn’t mention it before.
Unless they are photos of people he knows, I don’t see the issue. And he is smart to store them in an app like that so they don’t accidentally pop up.
title alone is enough for me to say YES
my dad is the exact same way!!!!! omg

Now she has no daughter.
That's called consequences.
You need therapy if he is making you think you have done anything remotely wrong. You need to dump him so very hot he falls to basement level 5.
He packed up his stuff. He isn't missing, he's hiding from you
Your relationship is over bc he chose to run away.

I think this is perfectly normal.
Two words, “strap on”

You married into an ultra conservative christian family why are people ever surprised by this?
