Simple, because his partner, from the context provided, is not communicating her consent clearly. OP clearly says in the post the same situation has happened in the past where he discussed his discomfort yet they had sex anyway. Was she the rapist in those cases?
There is also no indication of what was said between her expressing discomfort and then having sex. Did he say they’ll be quiet, as they’ve done in the past?
Saying someone has committed rape, yet somehow qualifying it as not that big of a deal that doesn’t deserve legal repercussions, as you’ve said, is flat out crazy and toxic. Calling someone a rapist is relegated for instances where consent is clearly withdrawn and they continue anyway, not for instances where there is a miscommunication based off prior experience.
You haven't explained why your fiance has a problem with this? Is it because he thinks you're going to cheat or because he's worried that a strange man sleeping in your house is a danger to you?
Personally, I worry for your safety. I understand you feel unsafe being alone, but having an adult man who you can't possibly know well enough to know whether you can trust him sleeping in your home is actually adding a threat, not taking one away.
I honestly wouldn't definitively tell you whether to keep them around or not because telling someone to ditch a friendship is a big deal and I'm not in a place that I think I should do that.
I reckon I know how I'd respond to that situation myself but it's very different when in that situation.
If you think you're done with them, then it's fine to be done and walk away. Nothing wrong with that.
If you want to try and maintain the friendship then being reaaallly direct is probably a good thing. The kind of time where he shits on a situation and you turn around and go “THAT! That is EXACTLY what I was talking about you [insert flavourable words here]” Just chapter and verse him when he pulls that, don't give quarter.
When you do that, you'll probably be able to glean a lot of information on how he responds. Because he's either doing it deliberately, which is really shit, or he's genuinely clueless to what he's doing.
If he's clueless, fair chance he'll be confused but hopefully take it on board in the long term. If he's doing it deliberately, he'll possibly try and weasle out “ah mate, I was just trying to help” or similar defensive response.
The secret option number 3, and I've seen it myself, is that some friends can be weirdly protective ot the point of almost ownership. As if they're doing you a favour keeping you from other people. That's more of an odd one.
It didn't just happen a long time ago, it's still happening because he's still lying about it. He has yet to tell you the truth. If he were sorry at all he would have told you right away, and asked for the chance to rebuild your trust. He thinks you're an idiot who is stuck with him now. Are you?
He isn't contributing anything to your child's life. He is dishonest and disloyal. He will not be a good role model. Put a legal custody and support order in place, communicate through a co-parenting app, and focus on your own future success. This man has already shown himself to be unworthy, go ahead and accept it now. Don't ask him to keep proving it.
Umm…this is not at all what I'd describe has a “very strong and healthy” relationship. You say you never fight yet describe completely dysfunctional and abusive dynamics playing out with some regularity. Im sorry to play the “you're young and dk what you're talking about” card, but i really do think you're being naïve. Im sure your time-blindness is frustrating…that does not excuse your partner's behavior. And it doesnt really matter that the rest of the time is fun and happy…thats what every abusive relationship looks like.
I dont think couples counseling is the way to go at this point. Solo therapy would probably be best. Couples counseling usually isnt prescribed when there's abuse at play. Does your partner acknowledge that their behavior is abusive?
Your family are weird; are they always this inappropriate? If my mum asked my boyfriend about our sex life, I think we would leave immediately. Your step-dad as well needs his head examined, your parents' obsession with your sex life is very unhealthy.
It would be best if you can line up another place for yourself, then give him advanced notice. If this triggers a full-blown breakup, then you aren't obligated to stick around for the remainder of the lease. You'll need the money to make that happen, but its worth it.
Its pretty clear that you two aren't compatible, so breaking up is really what you should be planning for. Not just moving out. If you have to explain it, lay out the reasons as you have here. And dont allow any negotiating. We're over. Its done. I'm sorry, but we aren't compatible.
Except he'd rather break up than not have sex until she's comfortable with him again. Clearly, he didn't care about her comfort, just his need. If that's not a bedroom attitude towards her, i dunno what is.
Sure, they can always break up. But just the fact that his needs overweight his partner's comfort, he's immature to be in a relation. How is her having a few partners before him even matter to the story of her being uncomfortable wuth him in the bedroom?
I wish… Have you heard experiences from bisexual men? They often report that dating men is much easier, simpler, and the relationships are more satisfying and last longer.
I don't think it is healthy to make such a big deal out of this. Nore is it healthy to listen to peo0le in the comment section comparing this to nazi stuff. Wtf is wrong with these people's.
It really depends on the usage. Of course most people are decent and not using others with bad intensions. It’s a give and take on all sides. But that wasn’t the point here. I think your good with your gf when she 'uses' you back and there is overall consent of using each other 😉
He doesn't regret it. Not one bit. But so what? F HIM. Money can't buy good character or a good soul.
People feel lonely all the time. And cheaters cheat all the time, despite what they say to you.

He's gonna cheat on you most likely with one of your friends. He doesn't respect and certainly doesn't love you. Leave
Hate to break it to you but you're not on the left. Centrist, maybe.
Why do you feel the need to meet your ex. Why are you so excited to try and meet now that your wife will be away.

He is a predator and you need to run far away from this man.

Bro a bidet is like $80. Yes, his gf is the problem not him. But maybe $80 is worth saving the relationship over

If sexism is common sense to you, you should re-evaluate your beliefs.
Your family are weird; are they always this inappropriate? If my mum asked my boyfriend about our sex life, I think we would leave immediately. Your step-dad as well needs his head examined, your parents' obsession with your sex life is very unhealthy.
This made me cry because you’re absolutely right ?
I feel like this man is using you for a place.
Have her orgasms come this easily on other occasions?
deep down i know that. he's my high school sweetheart and i've never known anything else which is the hardest part

You don’t deserve your family. Let her find someone who loves and respects her, because you clearly don’t.
He shouldn't need you to help him through his alcoholism, there are sponsors for that. Most people wouldn't recommend you stay with a cheater.

I really wish that were the case, but nope just me
Dude, she literally doesn't seem to like you.
My husband has some hobbies that I find dull but I show an interest and encourage him because it makes him happy
I don't think it is healthy to make such a big deal out of this. Nore is it healthy to listen to peo0le in the comment section comparing this to nazi stuff. Wtf is wrong with these people's.
This bitch gotta go
Pack his crap and leave it at the idiot's who created this dumpster fire. Make sure the know that littering is a crime.
I’d say just don’t tell her the slimy parts
