it’s hard because i see him struggle with how they treat him and he is such a good friend to them. but idk how much should i have to compromise in order to be with a person who i am in love with?
Definitely not normal behaviour. He does not deserve you. That’s immature of him. He’s acting like a toddler that throws as tantrum when he doesn’t get what he wants. It’s actually the same thing. It’s not expected of an adult to act like that, although many do. I think it’s time to make some serious life changing decisions if you want to ever be happy.
Its not wrong to think someone else is attractive beside your partner. But the concerning part was your ACTION you looking away and hoping he looks to or something… that is acting on your desire and that is whats wrong while in a relationship.
Take this to your heart,cheating isnt one big decision its multiple little ones and they all start small like yours, and its on you to stop it in ots track the beginning.
Thank you. I’m not sure why it hit such a rough spot honestly. If she asked about my past history and to get checked, I would be open to it.
I was a virgin before her, and I always get medical examinations every year to make sure I’m in the know. It’s not to make her feel bad. It’s so we know the situation with 100% clarity, and can make informed decisions from there.
Sounds like emotionally she is not aligned with you. Been there. Nothing will change who she is or how she responds to your feelings. It's just who she is.
She's may not be a bad person or bad girlfriend but just might not be right for you. Everyone is different and has different needs.
Those are the hardest breakups in my experience, but probably the most kindest to both people, to have a chance at finding someone more compatible.
He doesn't sound like a very supportive partner in the way you would want it. I'm guessing if you achieved something or has good news his response would be lackluster as well. I don't know about you but personally I would want someone who can do those things. It may be because he simply doesn't know how to, but you'd think he would ask and figure it out that a single “rest” comment is cold.
Ask him what he likes Make sure he is clean, and I mean real clean Do not do anything you are not comfortable with Take it a step at a time Porn is fake ( it is a movie industrie, so as real as regular movies ) Keep good communication Sex is like everything , practice makes perfect, so do not expect you are Olympian level at the beginning, but if you have a intimate connection with him, skill does not matter because you will both love it .
I mean one of my roommates in college would do it with me in the same room sometimes pretending he was “asleep” like I don’t know what those motions were ?
Compared to that I think your stuff is fine and you don’t need to worry too much all these years later
TLDR; start with just one day or a few hours. Kick him out, send him on errands by himself, buy him tickets somewhere for something with someone else. I feel ya, I love being in my house alone despite loving my man so much.

If I should stay and wait for him to finish his studies and still be his gf or leave because it has been 7 years. I am thinking of breaking up with him, maybe I am just trying to think what to say to him.
I can't speak for your bf. I can only go on my personal experience with something similar.
My wife and I started dating (Dec 2008). Her father past (February 2009). It was sudden (complications from diabetes). Her being the only next of kin; she was the one to make all medical decision.
I didn't know what to say, or do. I let her bring things up as she wanted. Listening to her, offering comfort through physical presence. I didn't want t I say something to upset her.
I am not saying your BF is like this or not.
All I am saying is if this is bothering you. You need to tell him. He may not know how to talk about your father because he is afraid of making you feel sad or depressed.
This is the one. OP, don't strap yourself or a kid to someone who is cruel and unstable. If you have access to other options, I would suggest you take them.
He over reacted but asking if it's okay to eat something someone else bought is a fair enough expectation. Partner and I have been together ten years and we still ask, and for items we don't ask about we have an established rule to not eat the last one.
Asking the guy if it's alright to snack on something of his is absolutely okay, I think people should have enough respect for their dating partners (regardless of time together) to ask them if they can eat something they purchased with their own money. What isn't okay is him kicking off with a snarky tone and behaving like he's a child who just had his sweeties snatched away.
I would call “work space” a want. Surely, OPs husband could do a better job communicating but sounds like it’s no secret what’s bothering him. He won’t be able to work from home due to their shitty planning or lack of forethought and he’s worried he’ll be missing out on all the milestones because he won’t be home.
It’s easy to pile on him for not having a creative solution but OPs solution is to be upset. They both failed twice. First when they didn’t think about it and second when instead of talking they went for the slightly less effective solution – stewing in their feelings.
OP, one of you has to be smarter so let it be you this time. Sit down and talk. What can you do short term and long term? Can the baby be in your bedroom for the first few months? Is small bedroom desk enough for a workspace? Is there a garage you can convert? An attic? Is moving within a year feasible?
I can go , I have my passport. The big step is more mental than physical. I know by the time I tell him I am leaving it is all over . But I am getting to a point that it will happen if doesn’t change !
I feel I did, he did apologize and we talked but that night he made advances on me so I'm not sure it really got through. I know I said it clearly. It's if he understood that I'm questioning.
He doesn't get final choice, but he is a parent, too. It should be a joint decision. There hasn't yet been a solution that both parents like, so the discussion isn't over.
She gets final say on everything pregnancy related, because it's her body. But the second those children are born he should be treated like an equal parent (with the exception being breastfeeding decisions because, again, her body.)
There are a lot of legal/safety/bureaucratic issues that come with being a parent to a child that doesn't have your name. He has valid arguments for wanting his in there, and her unilaterally making parenting decisions (especially one that has the potential to alienate him from his children) is very worrying.
A lot of times people want to fix things, when what we really need is someone to just help make it easier. That’s a complicated dynamic and relationship that you don’t need to fix unless she asks you for help to do that, but what you could do is make it easier. If you think about how it affects her, is there something that would make it less hard? Or just to be there with her and listen when she wants someone to understand. I think making this post says you care a lot about her and that’s the most important thing.
Your partner is looking for a wife who would also be a step parent to his child. His life is a few steps ahead of yours. You have to decide if you are willing to skip some steps to catchup to where he is already. If you were married and living together as a family would you still need to get away alone once every month or two?
I'm a fan of giving it back or chucking it as well (because honestly there's just nothing she could say that would be worth reading). But a third option can be having someone else you know and trust read it, and tell you what's in it. Like a human filter.
I wouldn't suggest holding onto it for a few years. That's just making it a weight around your neck.
I agree this sucks to find out now, maybe it makes the beginning times feel less special. I think if you leave or stay either is a valid choice. I think now maybe just use this as an opportunity to examine your current relationship. Is it currently good? Do your values align? Do your plans for the future align? If all of those line up I'd leave towards staying, but again your call.

Can’t help someone who doesn’t take the hints

I know at least I'm not the side chick because I asked his friend if he was seeing other people and they said they didn't think so.

what if it is just in my head though and there’s no problem, except the one i made by raising this

Are you feeling uneasy because it seems like he has deliberately deceived you in order to hook you in? That would be valid.
Unless you have kids lol but I mean… when you don‘t have kids or other responsibilities

I've had lunch, dinner and breakfast with my guy friends hundreds of times. One on one.
Why is this an issue? Can she not have friends?
Good gawd, dedicated little shit, isn't he?
He’s taking advantage of you .
Bruh is apparently violent aswell from a previous post on this throwaway.. which OP is most likely gonna say wasn't her….

that's when you know, you've been dating a fckn monkey

If you were married and living together as a family would you still need to get away alone once every month or two?
Your wife could be having trouble losing weight because of hormone issues. Unless she eats junk food all the time.
It could also be stress..no time to exercise..no “me” time..
Talk to her.

Decided to just check my partners history just now – yep cute af kittens, puppies, and some weird old computer hardware vids lol
