You want to wait until you’re okay with the age gap? Honey that big of an age gap is not okay especially not at 20. It’s pretty pedophilic of him to go after women or rather girls that young. Besides that, don’t have casual sex when your intention is to have a relationship. It never works and always end it one person being hurt and heartbroken. Like you now being hurt that he fucks other people. He could very easily be exclusive with you but he isn’t. And no it’s not because men have urges or some dumb crap like that. It’s because he doesn’t want just you. I know it’s harsh but it’s the truth, this will never end with a happy ending. I’ve been there, i’ve done all that and i thought it would be different for me because well I’m me right? No. It’s not different for you. So let it go and go after a guy your own age who is emotionally available.
I'm a rape/child sexual abuse survivor. I can completely understand why you're okay with not being ready for sex, and that's fine! But you're not in a relationship if you're letting him have sex with other women. Its clearly not meaningless for him. And if he made one or two jokes, okay. But constantly? Hell fucking no, babe. I'm so happy for you that you're going to therapy, but you should've dumped his ass, yesterday. I hope one day you can heal from all this. Healing is NOT linear and some days are going to be harder than others. Surround yourself with people who will get you through anything.
“Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass.” ❤
Considering he already thought about it, and how condescending and bitchy you are, I doubt it. Btw in case you don't get the hint. You're gonna push your bf into suicide if you stay with him. So your whole dream of having a man like your dad is gonna fail. You literally already pushed him to it once, it'll happen again. And no I don't want that, but you clearly do or you'd break up with him
It sounds like you're just a fwb or placeholder until he finds someone he wants. You deserve better. Please have some self respect and tell him to buggar off.
No. A guy having a vibrator is 'liken' to a woman having a vibrator.
A guy paying OF models and looking at porn when they know its a boundary is an issue. Thats why they lie about it. How many women do you know that lie about having a vibrator?
Hi. Please let his wife know anonymously and report them to HR. What she is doing for temporary fun is destroying a marriage and leaving his kids in a broken home. Is she OK with doing that to his wife and children? If she is, get away from her. She is toxic and has zero morals. Would you ever trust a partner around her? I wouldn't.
Make new friends and do the right thing and tell his wife and HR.
Oh she has stated her husband is a psychologist. So he must know everything. I’ve and others told her before that he needs someone else. Someone trained in children and are objective.
I feel so sorry for your sister fuck both Jim and Ellie. How can he cheat andbhiw can she hurt anther woman like that? Especially your sister, some that saw her build a family with this man. Your BIL is a creep, miss Ellie is a homewrecker and don't believe Ellie for a second about the whole drinking problem she's lying out of her ass so it doesn't sound like this is her fault. She knows damn well your sister doesn't have a drinking problem
Hope you make his and Ellie's life hell, they're obviously not sorry about it and problem laughing at your sister with joy
But your mom doesn't have to make out with you. And you don't go down on your mom either. There are downsides for girlfriends if you have a bottlebrush on your face.
I think he had an alcoholic sister and he said I drunk texted him a lot. I just love my wine and always owned up to it. My mom also didn’t like me having a glass at all so idk.
Lol you’re relentless. No wonder your wife hates arguing with you. Learn how to let things go rather than pushing every argument until you win. You posted on here for advice, deleted your post, and are arguing with a random commenter instead.
Oh my days, because not all life experiences happen in a day, and as I said infertile doesn't mean that there is no way I can have children at all. I'm not sterile. You are so uneducated, yet you comment on here judging others as if you have a fully fledged knowledge of everyone's bussiness.
I was lucky because I didn't know I was infertile and even then there was a risk of pregnancy. I've met friends who used one form of protection that failed, or people that can only use one form of protection. At the end of the day that's none of your bussiness, nor is it your place to judge.
Do not go to the office and lie about a lost pass. First, that’s stopping to a low level. Second, it isn’t dealing with whatever his issue is with not giving it to you, and will definitely provoke him. If this is his level of petty, and that’s what it is and not that he’s holding it for someone else to use, is this the kind of life you want for you and your child? Don’t wait till your daughter is out of hospital, it will be too busy and hectic so you won’t leave. Start making your plan now, talk to a lawyer about what to ask for support, and find a place.
If she sees this as a long term relationship she should to go with him. It sounds like she doesn’t really care if she goes and it makes me wonder what else she doesn’t care about. I would be questioning WHY she doesn’t want to go. I would have trust issues with this type of behavior.
She had to go to her home country, she had a terrible loss. That’s why I’m wondering if this is all the aftermath of the loss idk. At the same time it doesn’t justify how she treated me
$1100 is pretty steep to learn this lesson, but to be fair, it sounds like the lesson has been trying to teach you for a while, and you’ve been just ignoring it.
So work he goes the same time every day he's morning routine is pretty solid beside the occasional bathroom call ? but then it's when he comes home that gets a bit off. It used to be consistent now it's erratic and he doesnt call to say he'll be late very often. Then when he gets home he always has a lengthy explanation why he's late before I can even ask. He has 1- 1.5 hour calls 3 to 4 times per week in the evening too now for this or that that sometines get cancelled whatever that means and i barley see him anymore. Basically we eat dinner and sleep together now and very rarely we watch a film but Saturday and Sunday he's here and won't leave my side he doesn't even like for me to go get groceries without him he said it's our together time and he wants to spend as much of it with me as possible. But he's on his phone and ignores me even then, so idk.
If you do visit her and she introduces you to this person you will know right away that the relationship is over. If you change your mind about going try to sell your tickets. Good luck!
If he’s truly posting that little I doubt he’s out there adding everyone to his profile. And even then it’s an easy eyeroll “yeah I’m so worried about a post from 8 years ago with someone he broke up with 7 years ago”.
If you have to search for those posts it’s a simple “wow, are you ok because you spent a lot of effort to find those photos”.
You want more kids and he does not. Not compatible with each other. I feel sad for both of you, but then again I believe you wouldn’t be in this position because if y’all had communicated thoroughly like real adults this relationship wouldn’t have happened.
Some of these comments are wild; the concern isn’t always equated to criticism.
We don’t want to see our loved ones completely disappear; become someone else, they are not. OP; there are several ways to approach this — is there anything special you can do for him? Favourite gaming nights? Movie nights? Is there things he used to connect with that made him feel special/happy? It could be a good way to bond with him on a level where you’re both more emotionally invested; be a couple with him again, rather than just something he thinks could go away at any moment. Security and emotional comfort are key parts of any relationship's longevity. Perhaps couple therapy could be a potential avenue. If he’s used to venting within a therapy style format/comfortable in doing so; maybe that’s another way to open up communication on a more even field for him.
She wants to work it out with her husband and you want infos on divorce? Newsflash, you cannot divorce at her place. It's solely her decision to make, not yours at all. And she made it clear she doesn't want it to happen. Also be careful with what you think you know about her relationship with her husband. You know only what she told you and she's the kind of person who has no troubles not only lying, but leading a double life. You want an advice? Get out of that very hot mess. Seems to me she won't leave her husband anytime soon (if ever). Very much of her culture is surely internalized by now and if divorce is a big no in her culture, it most probably is a big no to her too. Also if family ties are above all in her culture (as far as I know, they usually are), she won't be inclined to relinquish her family for the sake of a new relationship. Her family liking her husband could create a huge mess if she leaves her husband too. On top of being looked as someone who broke their culture's rules she will be looked at as a woman who messed with another taboo: cheating on her “good” husband. And trust me, in those kind of cultures a male cheating is not comparable with a woman cheating at all. She knows all of that and that's probably why she wants to backtrack. Move on would be my advice. And avoid “dating” women who are in a relationship. It rarely turns out to be a good idea.
Why would you want to stay with someone who has flat-out told you they don't respect you? Is respect not important to you? Why would you stay in a relationship where your basic needs aren't being met? Are you willing to go without sex for the rest of your life?
You've already spent a year with her. You won't get that time back. But you can choose how much longer you stay and you can choose when you start to move on.
That time will pass either way. You can spend it in a relationship you are clearly unhappy with, or you can spend it finding someone who respects you and wants to have sex with you. Which one sounds better?
she needs to do her part taking care of herself, yes. but dude, theres no way to present this in any other light – you ARE bailing on your long term partner because she got sick.
Reading your comments, I don't think that you should get back together with him at this time. Maybe someday, but he needs more time to work on his sobriety and mental health. You need time to heal yourself and trust your gut (if you can get yourself into counseling, do so). Right now, neither of you needs a romantic relationship.
Thanks for replying. I guess we will see this week how things go!
Also, i don’t text her all the time, maybe one every few days just to see how she’s doing. I don’t want to bombard her. Is that enough to keep her interested until I get to know her more?
This girl has been posting about this guy for 8 months. She ignores advice given. Do not bother wasting your time, unless you wish to scream into the void (fine if you do). This is for everyone, not just JannaNYC (but hi, great comment!) The first post is a doozy, recommend reading.
I already go to therapy, and I have all of my emotional stuff under control. It was really just that one time that happened in all of 5 months… Is that so wrong?
This is nothing to do with feeling morally superior. There is scientific evidence to support why this is not right. You asked for opinions and advice, and you were given them. Do with it what you will.
If you can online with yourself making a completely selfish decision and ignoring what is actually best for a person you apparently care about, nothing we can say will sway your mind anyway.
As I said in other comments, you didn't want truth. You wanted validation.
Seems very on-brand for the profession I’m afraid. He’s a proven liar, manipulator and got you on a yo-yo string. Please cut it before you’re reeled in again, there has to be someone else in this entire universe for you who isn’t a complete lying turd?
I SO loved my first love but I realized he was horrible to me.
It was not cheating, but It could have been the same feeling.
I was dismissed, disrespected and felt that I couldn’t do anything right…EVER. He liked seeing me mad, thought it was “cute”. And btw, I’m normally a happy, loving person.
Everything you are going through right now has RED FLAGS all over it. You are better than this and deserve much better! Hugs and I hope you find a great person that matches what you want in life.
“I like it if you like it” is my go to.
You want to wait until you’re okay with the age gap? Honey that big of an age gap is not okay especially not at 20. It’s pretty pedophilic of him to go after women or rather girls that young. Besides that, don’t have casual sex when your intention is to have a relationship. It never works and always end it one person being hurt and heartbroken. Like you now being hurt that he fucks other people. He could very easily be exclusive with you but he isn’t. And no it’s not because men have urges or some dumb crap like that. It’s because he doesn’t want just you. I know it’s harsh but it’s the truth, this will never end with a happy ending. I’ve been there, i’ve done all that and i thought it would be different for me because well I’m me right? No. It’s not different for you. So let it go and go after a guy your own age who is emotionally available.
Given the stories here I just wanna say mad respect for both being mature and keeping boundaries in place.. etc you’ll find someone, no doubt ✌️
No a human
I'm a rape/child sexual abuse survivor. I can completely understand why you're okay with not being ready for sex, and that's fine! But you're not in a relationship if you're letting him have sex with other women. Its clearly not meaningless for him. And if he made one or two jokes, okay. But constantly? Hell fucking no, babe. I'm so happy for you that you're going to therapy, but you should've dumped his ass, yesterday. I hope one day you can heal from all this. Healing is NOT linear and some days are going to be harder than others. Surround yourself with people who will get you through anything.

Why did you even respond?
Considering he already thought about it, and how condescending and bitchy you are, I doubt it. Btw in case you don't get the hint. You're gonna push your bf into suicide if you stay with him. So your whole dream of having a man like your dad is gonna fail. You literally already pushed him to it once, it'll happen again. And no I don't want that, but you clearly do or you'd break up with him
I didn’t lose my friends my relationship soured but I am still good friends they just don’t trust me as much
It sounds like you're just a fwb or placeholder until he finds someone he wants. You deserve better. Please have some self respect and tell him to buggar off.
Neither of you are ready to be married – you've both got some maturing to do.
Call it off. Save both of you the pain.
It’s worth mentioning that she watches porn too, half the time of women
rom where I’m at in the car, he can’t see that I’m crying, so he doesn’t know I was crying.
Are you in a school bus? Wtf
No. A guy having a vibrator is 'liken' to a woman having a vibrator.
A guy paying OF models and looking at porn when they know its a boundary is an issue. Thats why they lie about it. How many women do you know that lie about having a vibrator?

Wouldn't life be so much simpler if you didn't focus on which posts your boyfriend likes?
Yeah, but not talking to her about work and making it a boundary seems really weird.
And still, the drama of dating a co-worker and eventually breaking up if things don't work out well can cause lots of drama.
Had a close friend who had to switch jobs due to that mistake. Not cool.
Depends if she's into voodoo…

Horrific that you're wishing physical violence on a stranger.
If it was tonight and he blew you off, I’d be done with him it’s over he showed his true colors. His friends were more important then you.
No, I grew up in an abusive household so I’m a firm believer in gentle parenting.
Block him on everything and never look back.
As others have been saying… she wants to bed this guy. Good luck op.
Oh she has stated her husband is a psychologist. So he must know everything. I’ve and others told her before that he needs someone else. Someone trained in children and are objective.
He is emotionally abusing you.
Giving someone the cold shoulder or icing someone out like this is definitely abuse and he wants to see how much of it you'll put up with.
He's only going to escalate and has no interest in being a good partner to you.
You absolutely have the right to be upset after watching that, who would want to see that.
I'm assuming his mate knows what went on between them? What did your bf do when it came on, did he jump up to turn it off?
I feel so sorry for your sister fuck both Jim and Ellie. How can he cheat andbhiw can she hurt anther woman like that? Especially your sister, some that saw her build a family with this man. Your BIL is a creep, miss Ellie is a homewrecker and don't believe Ellie for a second about the whole drinking problem she's lying out of her ass so it doesn't sound like this is her fault.

Hope you make his and Ellie's life hell, they're obviously not sorry about it and problem laughing at your sister with joy
Your boyfriend doesn't get to make this decision.
Paragraphs please
Agreed., thank you for making it so clear.
but my mom does
But your mom doesn't have to make out with you. And you don't go down on your mom either. There are downsides for girlfriends if you have a bottlebrush on your face.
I think he had an alcoholic sister and he said I drunk texted him a lot. I just love my wine and always owned up to it. My mom also didn’t like me having a glass at all so idk.
The human brain does not fully develop and mature until their late 20s. Glad you came to the realization of what an ahole your husband is.
Honestly, I don’t think the issue is you NOT being 20. It’s that there’s still a 20+ year age gap.
You don’t want a guy that dates that far below his age range. Trust me. I’m 37 and it seems SO awkward to think about dating a 19 year old.
How is love out of pocket? We’re meant to be together
Lol you’re relentless. No wonder your wife hates arguing with you. Learn how to let things go rather than pushing every argument until you win. You posted on here for advice, deleted your post, and are arguing with a random commenter instead.

KABOOM!
Text her. 1 back and forth then ask to meet for a drink after work .
Someplace where you can walk to supper after a drink.
If you connect, take her to supper.
If she sees this as a long term relationship she should to go with him. It sounds like she doesn’t really care if she goes and it makes me wonder what else she doesn’t care about. I would be questioning WHY she doesn’t want to go. I would have trust issues with this type of behavior.

You are totally just a wallet to her.

If you have to search for those posts it’s a simple “wow, are you ok because you spent a lot of effort to find those photos”.
This is not a request to open the relationship. She is asking to fuck a specific guy.
Now act accordingly
I get the feeling you can look at a girl the in passing and you make it into a mountain.
You have insecurity written all over you.
You want more kids and he does not. Not compatible with each other. I feel sad for both of you, but then again I believe you wouldn’t be in this position because if y’all had communicated thoroughly like real adults this relationship wouldn’t have happened.

Go talk to a lawyer.
No sex at all bc she will try and get pregnant to keep you, and condoms break.
Go talk to a lawyer.
Why would you want to stay with someone who has flat-out told you they don't respect you? Is respect not important to you? Why would you stay in a relationship where your basic needs aren't being met? Are you willing to go without sex for the rest of your life?

Even so, people don't really think about the cringe moments that others have experienced, especially if they're strangers.
fortunately (peep post history), this looks fake. otherwise, yikes on one of those bikes large enough to hold a family of 6 children under 20 yrs old
That's nice. Thanks. Do you feel good telling me to go fuck myself?
she needs to do her part taking care of herself, yes. but dude, theres no way to present this in any other light – you ARE bailing on your long term partner because she got sick.
What chores does he do?
Also, you have bigger issues than laundry. Dude has an anger issue.
Reading your comments, I don't think that you should get back together with him at this time. Maybe someday, but he needs more time to work on his sobriety and mental health. You need time to heal yourself and trust your gut (if you can get yourself into counseling, do so). Right now, neither of you needs a romantic relationship.
Thanks for replying. I guess we will see this week how things go!
Also, i don’t text her all the time, maybe one every few days just to see how she’s doing. I don’t want to bombard her. Is that enough to keep her interested until I get to know her more?
This girl has been posting about this guy for 8 months. She ignores advice given. Do not bother wasting your time, unless you wish to scream into the void (fine if you do). This is for everyone, not just JannaNYC (but hi, great comment!) The first post is a doozy, recommend reading.
I already go to therapy, and I have all of my emotional stuff under control. It was really just that one time that happened in all of 5 months… Is that so wrong?
This is nothing to do with feeling morally superior. There is scientific evidence to support why this is not right. You asked for opinions and advice, and you were given them. Do with it what you will.
If you can online with yourself making a completely selfish decision and ignoring what is actually best for a person you apparently care about, nothing we can say will sway your mind anyway.
As I said in other comments, you didn't want truth. You wanted validation.
Seems very on-brand for the profession I’m afraid. He’s a proven liar, manipulator and got you on a yo-yo string. Please cut it before you’re reeled in again, there has to be someone else in this entire universe for you who isn’t a complete lying turd?
I SO loved my first love but I realized he was horrible to me.
