I'm greatful for the edit on this bro, thanks for coming to your senses!
Like everyone says these are not noble intentions, this is a last stab before he is literally a home wrecker. I wish the best for tou and your GF OP ❤️
Yeah, you don’t go buying two bags if you don’t use normally. That’s completely stupid and a waste of money, the fact he was two bags IN so he had taken two bags and was still okay enough to go to a brothel sorta proves to me he’s lying about not using often. That’s the behaviour of someone who frequently does it in my eyes.
I’ve seen people try it for a first time, doing one line, and being fucked the whole night. Him doing weed regularly also wouldn’t effect every drug intake either. Looks like OPs boyfriend is lying about a number of things.
Him getting angry all the time easily is indicative of him using a lot more than every couple months too. That or he’s on steroids as OP mentioned they’ve been going to the gym a lot.
Yeah, she’s starting an emotional affair right in front of you and telling you that she has no intention of stopping.
But this:
I also noticed that she had sent a gym picture to him, the pictures i typically get and she saved a shirtless photo of him that he sent to her.
This crosses boundaries. She’s being inappropriate with him and she knows it.
Coupled with the fact that you said that your sex life has “coincidentally” suffered the last few months, which is no doubt due to the fact that she’s so far into him that she’s losing attraction to you.
You don’t need therapy to figure out how to cope with this. You may need therapy to figure out how to more firmly assert boundaries.
I think you need to tell her that she’s giving this new guy way too much attention, she’s connected to him like a new boyfriend, she’s acting inappropriately with him and it’s evident that this is more than just a friend based on how much more involved she is with him than with other male friends. I’d definitely bring up the pictures thing, and the fact that your sex life has suffered due to her being enamored with this guy and neglecting your relationship.
Tell her she needs to drop this “friend” before it gets any more inappropriate, or you walk out of the relationship. Also, she is the one who needs therapy so she can figure out how to not start an affair and not gaslight her partner.
I’d be careful about working PT. It’s good to have a nest egg of your own and a good career path so you can support yourself if needed. No one gets married expecting to get divorced. But some women choose not to work or be SAHM and then end up trapped in a bad or even abusive relationship because they can’t be financially independent.
I also think it’s wise for young people to on-line alone or with roommates before living with a partner. It’s good to know you CAN be on your own even if you don’t need to be. Again, some people won’t leave bad relationships because they are aftaid they can’t do “all the things” on their own like paying bills, signing a lease, keeping up on housekeeping and so forth.
Also, while you are in school and dating with limited income, research some free or low costs activities in your area. Go for a hike or walk and pack a picnic. There are often guided nature walks, free museum days, movies in the park, and so on. You could also volunteer together—like walking dogs at the local shelter (we always need help!) Certainly depends a bit on where you live! but where I am in the US just outside of a medium sized city, there’s tons to do that doesn’t cost much or anything at all.
You two could also start budgeting together now by talking through the “fun” budget for the month. Like…how much do each of you want to put in on that? Maybe it’s $100 total per month and you put in $20 and him $80. Then…plan activities around that.
To be real honest, my partner and I—both mid 40’s—rarely eat out or order in and do a lot of outdoor things together or play games like cribbage and listen to music and have a few drinks as our date night. Even just taking the dogs for a walk together is nice. Or cooking dinner together or gardening/yard work.
I feel for you, brother. Something that many people don't realize is that our brains literally incorporate the people that are important to you into the wiring of your brain.
In a very real neurological sense, she became more and more a part of you over a period of 8 years. We have countless analogies and similes for what it feels like to lose people that reflect that. “I feel like a part of me is missing.” “I feel like I've had my heart ripped out.” “I miss her.”
It takes a long time, sometimes well over a year for you brain to rewire itself so that she's not included in your internal world. A clean split is best for both of you. Give it time and you'll be okay, as cliche as that advice is.
This is not asking her to poop on your chest, it's no biggie
As others have said, let her know that you have a bit of a thing for the puffer jackets and ask if she'd be down to play. My marriage and sex life has improved immeasurably since we both became more comfortable expressing these kind of harmless kinks.

You said you’ve lived together for a year. How long have you two been together? That age gap is uhhhhhmmmm
Why did I have to scroll so far for this? This guy isn't a partner, he's with you to try to rape your daughter, and she's trying to keep herself safe.
I don't get it. Why would she have a problem with him being with her sister? It doesn't affect her in any way
Excuse me?
Yes it was absolutely too little too late.
Bill shot he is on a weekend getaway with his – AP. leave
Women ☕️
You’d still be on the birth cert. if the judge takes 5 minutes to ask your involvement that would come out.
I think it’s important you admit to yourself that ego is playing a part here.
If someone teases you, the answer is violence /s
You try finding out your ex of 10 years is banging her cousin less than a month after you separated without getting completely wasted
Yeah, she’s starting an emotional affair right in front of you and telling you that she has no intention of stopping.

No clue, but the discoloration will still be bad. I’d buy an eyepatch. Or an eye occlusor.
Your issue is reasonable.
It is unreasonable of her to demand and get upset with you for not wanting to spend all weekend with her friends.
Still, the same issues will occur. it doesn't matter what gender they are.

Get creative!
