I get that but my life has been on repeat and nothing really has changed and i know if i don't make moves nothing will change that is the major problem i cant do either
Please don’t listen to people who say psychotic things. Abortion is a choice and it’s your choice. Don’t let some random stranger on the internet judge your parenting abilities. I’m so sorry
After you've had surgery to sterilize yourself it is irrational to be so worried about pregnancy you have constant panic attacks from having unprotected sex with your monogamous partner.
Yes some of ops fear is rational, but then she takes it quite a few degrees higher. Also she is married to an ahole who cares more about his dick getting wet than ops wellbeing. He even tries to manipulate and coerce her into sex she isn't comfortable with..
I have a job. Now that I’ve sat on this a bit I’ve realized he doesn’t actually support us financially, he just pays the mortgage and that’s his excuse for not doing housework.
Agree, sounds like a compatibility issue. She's a party girl and he's not a part of that crown and not his thing. The fact that she's still doing this at 28… she's not stopping any time soon. There's those it's a phase of young adulthood (most of us) then those it's a lifestyle choice. She sounds in the latter camp.
I have lived through this kind of behaviour in a partner aimed at me. Yes, it’s confusing. But once you’re out and among healthy people again, you can look back and see how toxic this person is. It’s very hot to see it from the inside, when you’re emotionally invested and see the good. If you stay, it’s going to be really hard for you and he will inevitably revert to the same or similar behaviours. And if you stay/go back, get married and have kids (I did and at your age) he will do it to the kids. My advice is to walk away now and find a fresh start, and to watch for this kind of personality before you invest in a new person.
But by that same logic isn’t she also discussing details before making it to the start line? They haven’t met yet she’s brought up marriage already. Why couldn’t she just say she’s looking for a serious relationship. Would be the same thing but actually talking marriage is a whole thing in itself and all he did was contribute to the topic with his own wants too
As the others have said already: safe that house-buying money in your own account. Also do not buy a house unless he puts your name on the deed.
I really recommend talking to a lawyer before proceeding. You need to protect yourself and make sure you are aware of your rights. Reddit can only do so much in that regard. Maybe look into the legal implications of marriage and house ownership. Right now you are 'only' a girlfriend. If he were to drop dead tomorrow then all his assets would go to his parents and children. Before the law you are nobody.
Money spent on lawyerfees now will potentially safe you from big trouble later. Spend parts of your paycheck on that first.
Also, if BF acts weird when you push back and ask for legal aid, that's a huge red flag and you need to figure out why. Trust yout gut.
OP, you need someone who will lift you up when you’re being emotional. You’ve been together for 2 years so I would talk with her to understand why your showing of emotions bothers her. Maybe she was raised to believe that men should not cry. It is absolutely normal and healthy to let it out, even for men.
You tried it, it made you miserable, and it didn’t even work, so next time find a partner who loves you and loves animals.
He had what he felt was a ‘better offer’ and now it didn’t work as expected for him, he tried to pick up where he left. He thinks that he’s the best you can find, and he’s so, so wrong.
I think you wasted way too much time on those people. You want to tell her, go ahead, send her screenshots, and stuff. What actually matters is for you go no contact with those people, something you should have done eons ago.
I'm so sorry, all I can think about is the scene in the omen “it's all for you Damien”
seriously though, situations like this usually only get worse once they start. I know a lot of people think its dramatic to immediately say “break up” as advice on this sub, but I dont see any way to make the situation better- especially when he has access to all of your personal stuff. it sounds like this is in the realm of becoming abusive, if it isn't already.
So, I said to her that best thing we could do is to stop talking since we are looking for different things and I know that’s better for my mental health
You made the right choice, now stick with it. Be glad she was honest with you so you didn't waste any more time on her. As awesome as she may have seemed, she's just not the right woman for you right now, as you want different things. You're young, just move on.
I agree with the professional help, but I don’t believe he is at all intentionally manipulating me. He’s actively asking for me me to leave him alone but I’m too scared for the potential outcomes of that. I know walking away might help me feel better temporarily, but I’m also worried about my own mental well-being with all the thoughts of “I could have done more, I could have prevented this.” So I’m not sure what’s worse.
End it and leave. He doesn't deserve you, and you are not just a blowjob machine to drain his balls. You're supposed to be a partner and if he doesn't treat you that way (which he clearly doesn't), you need to leave and find someone who will.
Ugh. I hate that you're probably 100% right about that. ?

That's emotional manipulation. I can't offer a solution, but that's what that is.
In 2032 when you’re 30 and your baby momma’s little sister is 26 you should try to fuck her just for this bullshit lol
idk wat these occasions are but sometimes ppl just want to vent to u rather than have u find a solution for them.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate and needed to hear this, really helps me to think clearly.

You’re absolving yourself of guilt saying you don’t know why you did it instead of being honest. Grow up

If you give gifts with the hope/expectation that the gift giving is reciprocated, the gift you've given has lost all meaning.
If you want something different than what you are getting in your current relationship, you will need to date a different person.
Call the cops. Now. Identity theft is not a game of feelings. You can go to jail ffs.
Pretty sure he is love bombing you.
You’ve been together for 2 years and he hasn’t changed it on his social media?
That was one of the first things I did when my partner and I got together.
I wanted everyone to know that we were together.
What have you already discussed with your GF about this situation?

Although if what she says is the truth, it doesn't change the fact that she indeed cheated.
You have to make it clear that you are very sorry about what happened to her, but because of her cheating you can no longer be with her.
Maybe you can still be friends and help her through this or not.
So, I said to her that best thing we could do is to stop talking since we are looking for different things and I know that’s better for my mental health

How embarassing for him.

Honestly I wish I knew my worth since my 6+ relationship was disregarded so easily for sexual gratification. Coworker in this case
