Irrational doesn't mean impossible, it means illogical. That usually means your behavior is being affected by the fear in a disproportionate way, potentially causing you or others harm.
An irrational fear of spiders doesn't mean that it's impossible for spiders to be in your house, it means your behavior is disproportionate to the likelihood of and/or danger of spiders.
In this case, his single sex partner wife is having his kids and he can't sleep and the FIRST thing he does after they are born is get a paternity test, and it's affecting their marriage and he doesn't care.
And no, we shouldn't do universal paternity until we know a few things like the rate of chimerism in humans. Additionally, many of those kids were switched at birth kids, products of rape, or IVF with doctors fucking around with the sperm sample.
He has very extreme kinks. There's nothing wrong with this, but given what you've said about how he refuses to engage in your discussions, tries to convince you to do anal without prep, and wants “authentic” anal aka pain I don't think he has taken the time to carefully work out what he wants and how to do it safely/pleasurably for you. It sounds like you're actually quite open to a lot of his kinks, but he is refusing to discuss how to make his preferences enjoyable and safe for you. Ethical people involved in extreme BDSM will always have extensive discussions about consent/limits/safe words/aftercare/etc. It doesn't sound like he's interested in any of those things. If he wants to have his fantasies met he needs to actually engage in serious discussions about these issues, and if he's refusing to do that it's the biggest red flag of all time. It also doesn't seem like these are purely fantasies that he has no intention of acting on, since he already pressures you in the middle of sex.
I'm sorry for what happened to you and I hope you pressed charges.
OP's girlfriend doesn't. How could I trust my partner if she even admits that she wasn't raped? She did it. Or she should have fought and press charges afterwards.
Only he has a home, human rights and gets paid for his labor. He has a bath tub that he can go into after his shift and has someone cooking food for him of his choice.
He can choose to be in a relationship with this woman and can choose to spend the money from his labor on whatever he wants.
He can vote. He can quit this terrible job. He can cross state lines without permission. If he is killed it will be treated as a murder and not a distraction of property.
I assume he doesn’t complete his work in chains and has access to food and water.
I fucking hate this comparison. It really takes out the real validity to the issues that workers face these days. There is a labor crisis right now but it is not chattel slavery.
That's awesome to hear! I think the therapy will help you to kinda sort through all these thoughts and emotions. One recommendation with therapy, go in with goals for yourself. And don't be afraid to look for a different therapist if the first one doesn't mesh right… It can take a bit of work sometimes to find a good one.
Honestly, he sounds like a good dude. Does he know exactly what you are dissatisfied with? Is there something you could have communicated or done sooner to have avoided feeling this way now?
I think the best route forward is to dig deep, examine your feelings, and communicate with him your appreciation for his support, talk up his good qualities for you, but that you are unsure this will work out and that therapy is going to help you process what you are going through and you can't guarantee that y'all will be together afterwards.
It's a difficult talk, but a respectful one. It lets him know where you are at, why you want to fight for the relationship, but allows him the opportunity to walk if this is not the parth he wants to take with you.
Your focus is going to have to be on yourself for awhile, and that can be very hot for a partner to go through.
Man, you're going foe the extremes here for the example aren't you? Okay, what if I go for an extreme one too.
What if the 19 yr old one being hit on by the 50 yr old wants to be a sugar baby? She gets pampered and financial assitance, he gets his ego fulfilled. Both sides win and gets what they want. Bonus points if they marry and 50 yr old die early leaving the 19 yr old millions in assets.
You seem to have the wrong impression that I am defending predatory behavior when I am just pointing out that predatory behavior happens in all age range and being older doesn't mean you are immune to such manipulative behaviors.
Age is just another factor in a bunch of complicated scenarios. It can be good, it can be bad or it can be inconsequential.
Or he agreed to support his wife and all kids because he views them equally as his kids and responsibility and she does which is sad.
It is irrational.

If he needs you to leave the building rather than just leave him alone for a bit he shouldn’t be in a relationship
Not his problem lil

Hopefully this has helped a little!
