Whether you were planning a traditional marriage as you stated with travelling and kids down the line at some point. You obviously were never in love merely infatuation or plain old lust, unless you wrote your own vows I do believe the vows go something along the lines of “in sickness and in health & through good times and bad”
Now correct me if I'm wrong but if my partner/husband etc came home and said guess what, one of my parents have just been diagnosed with a terminal illness and I need to help. I would move heaven and earth to do whatever little things I could to make their life easier.
If you were planning essentially to death do you part when you got married and all the things that go along with that, you could potentially if you on-line that long be married for 50+ years so what does it matter in the grand scheme of things if your wife makes her mum the priority for say the next year or two depending on how long her drs estimate she has left.
I am so glad that when my dad died from a terminal illness after 18 months, during which I helped my mum nurse him. I actually had the love and support of my partner (not even married and he was always there) and we are stronger together in the 7 months since my dad passed.
It's an absolute joke saying you were planning a traditional marriage if you can't support your wife in what is probably the worst time in her life, doesn't matter how old you are it and even though it's expected in a normal world for our parents to die first it still hurts. I seriously hope you set her free if this is how you are after 7 months of marriage and however long your relationship was before you got married in May.
The other thing to think about is if the sister would even allow your niece to have a present from you and not get angry at the overreach. Honestly, I would just tell them you do not want to overstep and give your niece a present, only to anger your sister and have it rejected.
Wow. Just wow. This is sad to read. Your step daughter has her privacy violated by someone she should have been able to trust. You made your insecurities and jealousy your family's problem. You has no right to go through her things at all, especially sentimental things of value. They deserve to know the truth. I hope you get counseling because this kind of behavior is just appalling honestly.
Nope, you don't get it. Accusing me of lying about somebody's tone of voice. If someone approached you rude as hell, you'd have a problem about it. But that's your life I guess. Easier said than done.
I wouldn’t stay friends with him OP and that’s not about “owning” anyone. It’s about him being considerate of your feelings. Breaking up with someone doesn’t mean you suddenly have no attachment to them and no history with them. Imo, a good friend would respect that and steer clear of relationships with people you’ve been emotionally involved with.
But your ex didn’t do anything wrong. Your friend has an obligation to you, your ex does not.
Regardless of if she's intentionally being improper, she makes you uncomfortable. Tell your husband this, and to drop her. He can find another therapist who's less weird.
Not making any excuses. I'm trying to figure out what the issue and the dymamic is here.
It kind of sounds like OP has presented herself as an organizer and someone who enjoys hosting (and all that goes along with that), when in reality she's not onro taking care of her man that way. But I could be misinterpreting the situation entirely, we have very little info.
No but ops mum's bf is the one who would rather not tolerate weed use over seeing family.
It's a conflict of two opinions. At the end of the day op didn't do drugs in her bfs mum's house. She did it in her car. Last I checked that's her property.
Ops bfs mum doesn't like that she's high. That's nice I don't remember asking for her opinion. She can either have me there or not.
Autism Spectrum Disorder. Having difficulty picking up social cues, learning disabilities and the behavior you are exhibiting according to your original post are all symptoms. It's not to say you have it, but it's possible. It's a spectrum so it's not like all people are the same.
The poor girl has clearly had some bad stuff happen to her and thinks she's not worth more than being a sex object. Her family sounds creepy and, while I think you are well out of this, I do feel bad for her and hope she can find a better path in the future than this over-sexualized form of relationship.
Yeah, I figured. He told me that the treatment plan looks hopeful, but it will take a long time. I also said that there was no pressure from my side to get into a LTR right now. I offered that we would reschedule a date when he has time again and until then we could sometimes call and text.
My petty ass would find a less-than-flattering name to start calling him when he calls you butthead. See how it makes him feel?
But in all seriousness, if you ask him to stop doing something because it upsets you, and he laughs it off, dismisses you, and doesn’t stop, he’s crossing a line. That’s very disrespectful to not abide by your wishes. He’s your boyfriend, shouldn’t he want to make you feel good in your interactions with him? If he doesn’t…then why is he your boyfriend? You deserve better.
If he’s talking about how he should have locked you down, it’s worth having another conversation about what he’s looking for. If he just wants something casual and you don’t, then distance yourself. If he’s changed his mind and you both want the same thing now, great.
Yeah, he told me that he doesn't know if this means that he isn't in the right headspace, but he knows that he just has a lot going on rn. He does feel like his head is all over the place.
If anyone is demanding anyone to do anything I would see that as a red flag. I don't think anyone here is demanding that.
The comment I initially replied to said essentially that breaking up with someone for not wanting to take their last name is them being a red flag or dodging a bullet.
I'm trying to understand the difference between that and breaking up with someone because they weren't chivalrous. I don't understand how one can be a red flag and the other isn't.
No one so far has been able to say why one is good and other is bad lol
If you've already voiced your concerns multiple times with the same result then there's not much left to do. Either accept her as is or move on. She does sound immature btw.
He didn’t know he was allergic until she moved in. He didn’t know it was harmful and said he would consult a vet. So again, why are you being so nasty?
You're aware of the problem, it's not a switch you can turn on or off and there's nothing wrong with that. If she wants to improve herself, that's well and good, but there's no guarantee that's going to flip the switch for you either. At this point, you have what you have. The only question is that enough for you? And her?
Ah friend… she's no longer your girlfriend… she's everyone's girlfriend. Look she likely won't change her mind, and if she does it will be years after experimenting with this new lifestyle. If you don't want a polygamous relationship I would go ahead and call it. That's a pretty big issue that y'all need to be on the same page for.
There's gotta be a million other ways to say it though. I'm not saying lie, but to compare her to his mom, say he doesn't see her as a wife or lover, and use the term “grossed out”? Come on.
I had my hair dyed blonde for over 20 years then I got sick of it. I had it dyed purple. I g he ad mentioned to my husband that I was thinking of it and his response was “whatever you want love”. When I did it and came home he just looked at me and said “oh you did it then. Suits you”. I was 55 then, 8 years ago. Just got it topped up again. He said “yeah keep it purple. I’m used to it now “. After 8 years? I’d say so! Lol
There really is no benefit. I’m mentally exhausted. But I KNOW if I leave ( or even can) I can’t take the dog with me. So I’m trying to get the dog out first instead of leaving him here
What’s going to happen when he decides that he doesn’t like having to share your attention and affection with the baby? You should really do some actual research on this disorder.
Funny enough she’s actually the one who suggested we started seeing each other. She also talks about eventually having a relationship but I’m now realizing she’s probably just telling me what she thinks I want to hear.
Do you have ADHD? The whole “oh, I see this easy thing I need to take care of (RSVP for a wedding) but I just will keep putting off doing it until the last minute” is very familiar. As is the “I don’t want to make a firm commitment, even when asked point blank, because it stresses me out. But then the fact we didn’t make concrete plans also stresses me out.”
Call your girlfriend right now and tell her are not going to her friend’s wedding. Explain to her
-You already made a commitment to your friend. -Your relationships with your friends are as important as hers even if you don’t articulate it or make broad sweeping statements like “we will be in each other’s lives forever.” -She is going to be busy being maid of honor to the bride and you will end up being alone for most of the wedding anyway. -you are sorry you were vague with her. You foolishly believed if you avoided making a concrete commitment one way or another everything would work out somehow. You apologize for the frustration this has caused and you will try to be better in the future.
I guess loser ones do.
My bf wouldn't care
always go with your gut feeling… stay safe love!

I agree. Regardless of anyone’s opinions on porn, this is about OP and their girlfriend’s opinions on the matter.

That’s my plans, I’m attending therapy with him in a few weeks to discuss co-parenting after all this.
The poor girl has clearly had some bad stuff happen to her and thinks she's not worth more than being a sex object. Her family sounds creepy and, while I think you are well out of this, I do feel bad for her and hope she can find a better path in the future than this over-sexualized form of relationship.
i think i will

People are not fully consistent ideologically.
Everybody's an idiot in some small personal way.

I'd rather commit than be with him tho

Oh girl it’s game time!!
She sent to him before she met me
Telling her he wants to fuck her is not just “their kinda humor”. He's being a dick and not owning up to it.
I would expect a couple of hundred dollars, but call and ask first.
Goodbye troll
There really is no benefit. I’m mentally exhausted. But I KNOW if I leave ( or even can) I can’t take the dog with me. So I’m trying to get the dog out first instead of leaving him here

Damn girl, 7 is above average. Not every bitch a 10.
Bariatric surgery is a big deal. Don't do it for anyone but you
Funny enough she’s actually the one who suggested we started seeing each other. She also talks about eventually having a relationship but I’m now realizing she’s probably just telling me what she thinks I want to hear.
Perhaps you should have married someone more mature…
Yes, that’s why (if you read all the way before commenting) I said “His mental illness is not your responsibility.”
Hurt him like he’s hurt you? You can’t hurt people who don’t care about you unless you down to do some prison time. He doesn’t give a fuck!
It is. Its just that im losing sleep over the possibility of getting laid. ? Im way too desperate to lose virginity too but I cant help it.
We would basically open the relationship for one kiss. And she would kiss a stranger at a party, just a hookup no talking etc
