Honey, you can feel like you really want to make your most loved utensil work, but sometimes what's broken is broken and it cannot be fixed by any technician, any workers or specialists. Sometimes it's just too late.
Your husband proofed to you he NEVER trusted you to begin with, never. Not in your entire relationship, from start to finish. He listened to someone who was actively trying to get behind her husband's back, LYING her way through her own marriage, instead of you. Then he kicked you out, absolutely sure you were just as bad as the lying snake he had not only said no to, but he knows she loved to her own husband.
He doubted you every step of the way, paternity test and all and now he comes crawling back? No mam, no.
You don't have to feel that it has to work because then life is a chore. Children can grow up very happy and healthy without having parents in a marriage with them – the most important thing for a kid is the interaction between the parents and I have to pull the tooth here – step parents are not obliged to love the children equally, nor are the partners of parents. It has to be functional and loving, but real love has to be shown by the one parent in the home. Of course, the optimal situation is that, stepparent takes the kid under their wing, but a cordial and friendly relationship between kid and stepparent isn't bad and people really need to realize that.
And second, you have a shit family, really. So, no one had your back the entire time? That fucking sucks and I'm really sorry about that.
Please, don't just think about your child – YOU matter too, your happiness matters too and I don't think you will ever find it again where you are at and whom you're with.
You've been living in their home 4 years, you ere supposed to be saving up to buy a house, but you decided life was comfortable enough to have a child. You then spent 2 years not working. Now you've got a job your in laws are babysitting for free. Howver the in laws are terrible people, who don't look after your child properly.
If they treat you like children its because you've been acting like children. Sounds to me it's not just your husband who's been comfortable living off your in laws, you are too. Why you are complaining about a really cushy situation makes me wonder if the in laws are looking after the child for free so you Will move out of their home sooner, much sooner, rather than later.
Stop moaning about everything and everyone. Someone who lives off people and then thinks it's grown up to add a child isn't someone who has the right to moan about life not going her way. This is the life you chose. 100k is enough to get out their, this buying a house is a pipe dream. You were supposed to be saving up and working towards th his goal for the last 4 years. You've done nothing towards saving up for a house in the last 4 years at all.
Is this moan a hint you want your in la Ws to pay the deposit or more on a house of your choice, because it sounds like it.
Your in laws owe you nothing and have given you a shit tonne of financial aid.

In my country, that is more common than you might think. We are definitely not ultra rich, and I’m not going to receive that family money unless my parents have passed. All my savings are 100% from my salary alone.
You sound toxic. You probably have your head too far up your beautifully bleached, waxed, pristine, never shitty asshole to see why your daughter actually hates you. But just from reading your post, I’m already over you.
I would rather die than watch my wife get stage 4 bowel cancer.
I normally have a no cheating policy but I think you both need therapy. Start with that and seeing if they can help him get off the booze. See how you feel at that point. This doesn't need to be a snap decision.
Regardless of that, if you don't feel comfortable that's completely fine. I see the majority thinks it's not a big deal, but they're not in a relationship with your GF. Remember that.
So the question is: is it too much for you to handle? You can only answer that.
Just keep in mind that had she reacted differently he could have just instigated an affair with her behind your back and would have had no problem carrying on with her.
He would have betrayed you in a heartbeat given half the chance.
I'd expand on that a bit, though. It is also because of her response to her father's actions. He is an instigator, yes, but if she were ready to be in a healthy, adult relationship, then when he did act like that, she would stand up to her father and stand up for her partner.
This is not okay, pressuring you to have sex is such a terrible red flag. Please give yourself the gift of not caving to his pressure. Wait to have sex until you are with someone who would never ever pressure you or make you feel bad.
There is no reason to feel embarrassed about being a virgin. None at all. Actually about half of people are virgins at 18, if I recall the numbers correctly.
I would not accept this. Given you've decided to stay, I don't know if this falls on deaf ears, but I would mandate couples' therapy and her taking full responsibility or I walk completely.
Otherwise, if she blames you now, she's just going to blame you next time.
First, I would encourage you to “find yourself” outside of the confines of your family, ethnicity, or hybrid culture. You're a person, and you have far more to offer than where your great grandfather hailed from. It feels as though your family's dysfunction has caused a lot of hurt and confusion in you. So that has to be addressed, independently from this relationship.
Since none of this seems to be the fault of your partner, I would urge you to discuss what you wrote here with him, though, maybe tempering the language so as not to hurt his feelings. But he ought to know that you're battling these issues in your head, because if this relationship is to survive, you will need his support, patience and understanding while you figure all of this out.
If nothing else, therapy is always helpful in these matters. You may be able to figure this whole matter out on your own, but it's nude to see things clearly when you're that close to them, sometimes. So you need to decide whether this is an issue that you can reasonably solve on your own or not.
In any case, remember that this is, primarily, your problem. And it would be very unkind to punish your partner for it, even unintentionally.
Nah bro, this has been tough on YOU, not her. She got dicked down, she’s chilling. The line “I don’t know how or why it happened” is an excuse a 5 year old would say, literally. There’s absolutely no reason for you to consider fixing this. Shit, she might go out for 2 hours and come back and admit “I had sex with another guy, idk why though”. Men and women who cheat are bottom of the barrel type people.
Consider this a win for yourself. You’re 20 years old and barely scratched the surface of your romantic life. This girl of yours is just a curb.
Well if you’ve been with him for 6 years I assume you don’t have another relationship to compare this experience to? But I do, so I’m happy to tell you this situation and dynamic isn’t normal or healthy.
He uses social anxiety as an excuse not to travel or work? What steps or treatment is he pursuing for this issue?
If you want to live! in as his maid in a tiny, shrunken world, devoid of any actual life experiences, then carry on with this relationship. Because that’s what will lie ahead. Feeling burnt out and isolated and put upon.
It's not “boundaries” if they're rules for other people. Boundaries are for you. So if he has a boundary about wearing above the knee skirts, I'm sure we all support him in not wearing them.
When he is telling other people what do wear in their daily life, he's just being controlling.
He chose to do what he did. You had nothing to do with his choices. You need to protect yourself, and your daughter. She needs to be protected from such horrors.
Liars like her also ALWAYS drip feed the truth. I'm sorry but there is likely more to what she did, and if her going to that guy's house without you is a “normal” occurrence then she very likely cheated before.
The only people who need concern themselves with the proposal or marriage at all is you two. If y'all don't want that, then fantastic. If you do, then fantastic. No other voice matters tbh.
Red flag. Your bf is completely dependent on his brother here. He can be cut off completely for no good reason, with no warning, and have no legal rights to complain.
His brother is also using this as a tax dodge, and it's not even a smart one. Credit cards are easily traced, so these payments can't be concealed if this comes up in an audit. Not a great sign about the business in general.
He can't save money this way, and he can't rely on what he gets. You need to have a conversation and find out why they're doing it this way, and how long he's planning to keep it up, because it's a terrible long term strategy.
Honey, let me tell you something I've learned, and it took me over 25 years for it to sink into my thick skull. Once upon a time, flat butts were the “in” thing. Skinny, curvy, chunky, rail-thin, athletic build, tall, short, stocky, big boobs, small boots, big butts, small butts… whatever is considered “attractive” is always changing. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
So now say this out loud in the mirror to yourself, “I am gorgeous. Any guy I am with who doesn't see me for the sexy and gorgeous woman I am does not deserve me.”

Yeah you have some issues you need to work out with yourself. So what if she has band pics.

Yes, she could have made a different choice, point is: so could he

JUST. LEAVE.
Go back to Florida, where you are happy. He doesn't care about you.
It's always possible. Course, she could lie from the start if that was her mindset.
How would she feel if you did a similar thing?
Regardless of that, if you don't feel comfortable that's completely fine. I see the majority thinks it's not a big deal, but they're not in a relationship with your GF. Remember that.

He would have betrayed you in a heartbeat given half the chance.
He needs to be cut out of both of your lives.
It’s made him really strong and loving though, he’s such a great partner. He’s so caring and considerate
There are other people to have sex with ? please do not put up with shit like this! It’s honestly laughable how selfish people are.
Don’t expect what you don’t give.
Because she realized that she didn’t give a fuck about her husband’s ex and that it was weird that you all started following each other anyways.
For real. This was written by a 12 year old.
I'd expand on that a bit, though. It is also because of her response to her father's actions. He is an instigator, yes, but if she were ready to be in a healthy, adult relationship, then when he did act like that, she would stand up to her father and stand up for her partner.
Maybe stop being such a bitch?
If it's a dealbreaker for you, break up and skip the cheating part. The second you really consider cheating, this relationship is over.
im definitely judging you because you emotionally abuse him so you are the fucking garbage.
Has it? Will he never be as adoring again then because he used to love me so much and look up to his dad as his biggest role model. That can’t go.
Do. Not. Have. Sex. With. Him.
This is not okay, pressuring you to have sex is such a terrible red flag. Please give yourself the gift of not caving to his pressure. Wait to have sex until you are with someone who would never ever pressure you or make you feel bad.
There is no reason to feel embarrassed about being a virgin. None at all. Actually about half of people are virgins at 18, if I recall the numbers correctly.
Ps: you aren’t special to him
I’m not that stupid
I would not accept this. Given you've decided to stay, I don't know if this falls on deaf ears, but I would mandate couples' therapy and her taking full responsibility or I walk completely.
Otherwise, if she blames you now, she's just going to blame you next time.

Sounds miserable to me but we are all different.

When he is telling other people what do wear in their daily life, he's just being controlling.
It won't get better.
Its not your fault. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
He chose to do what he did. You had nothing to do with his choices. You need to protect yourself, and your daughter. She needs to be protected from such horrors.
Please look after yourself.
Liars like her also ALWAYS drip feed the truth. I'm sorry but there is likely more to what she did, and if her going to that guy's house without you is a “normal” occurrence then she very likely cheated before.

Domestic violence is not as bad as you paint it. But I wouldn't know because this doesn't happen with wealthy people only the poor and cunty.
You dodged a bullet. She definitely wanted to just act single
He’s cheating you’re a fool if you stay with him! Break up move on live! your life happily without him
