I mean, ick. There isn't really a read on that which I would consider positive. Lack of tact, negging, just hung up on his ex, all of them at the same time… no matter why he said it the fact he said it especially at his age is just a complete and utter turnoff and disappointment. The Ick would hit me like a brick.
He is still friends with that ex. Honestly, that feels messy enough in and of itself not to want to bother. The fact the onus clearly seems to be on you to tiptoe around her rather than him facing the reality she is making you feel awkward says plenty. He cherishes and idealises and praises her in ways that clearly don't do anyone any favours.
He has about 15 million but is that enough for his 70 yo mom and him to online off forever? Doesn't seem like enough. They have investments and own a lot of property….idk. but yeah it would fucking suck to not retire because I have to support us later on.

Well the fact that she just recently was diagnosed probably means a certain type of behavior has been escalating to the point where OP was placed in a situation where she had to be diagnosed, all the while her boyfriend ahs just been trying to navigate it. Hate to say it OP, but not every person is suited to be with someone dealing with your disorder.
Some people are friends with exes, others aren't. The issue here is that your bf kept their friendship a secret. The whole “I didn't want to upset you” is crap. You and him might simply not be compatible, so why hide it? Better to has things out early.
You've spent half your life with him, how can you still believe he'll change? There's hope and there's delusion you know. Leave him, use your salary to hire help with the kids and the house.
They’ve probably all been to Bali a million times and are tired of it. Whatever rash single 21 yr old lads do isn’t necessarily the same as older 31yr olds with partners do, why are you so suspicious of him, that he’s just going to bang hookers? If you online in Oceania then you’ll know that Thailand is also a firm family-trip favourite, and Schoolies and plenty of young folk who don’t go near red-light districts. That’s not very nice, sheesh suspicious mind in the gutters.
If you leave him, that tangible outcome might be the push he needs to look in the mirror and make the changes he needs. Not just for himself, but for his remaining loved ones.
Sometimes the most loving and compassionate thing you can do is to let the consequences happen.
How do you imagine you are going to get over this, she had your daughter for half the year and assuming she was not exposing your child to random strangers! This would be a separate even worse problem! That means she slept with 30 randoms in 26 weeks, she is not telling you the whole story either because that does not include dates and other activities. Your stbx was working on something but it wasn’t herself or your relationship she was being a single woman. The only reasonable reaction from you is to progress the separation into a divorce so she can continue being single. The levels of toxicity that she displays are insane and will only negatively impact your child if you stay together!
Seriously, just break up with her. Let her scream all about how horrible you are into the void all she wants. You two aren't even in the same country and haven't laid eyes on each other in 2 years, I can't imagine it being all that difficult to just cut off communication and go on with your life.
Do the interview. Her response suggests she’s been worrying about the stability of your relationship for a while (maybe she is anxious attachment issues, or maybe there are genuine reasons she’s worried) and the job news was a “straw that broke the camel’s back” moment for her.
It may be she wants more commitment than you’re in a place to give, and that’s okay. It’s okay to break up and better than moving too fast if you’re not ready. The job might be the catalyst for the discussion but it’s not really about the job for her, it’s about whether you’ve got one foot out the door or not. That’s a whole other discussion and it’s a good thing that it comes up before you commit too much.
Why are you letting this guy blame you? You were drunk and sleepy and used a dudes arm as a pillow. I could see, maybe (and this is a shaky maybe) him expressing his discomfort over it, but ole boy over her went nuclear and totally cut his friend off. That's on him. The reason he hasn't reached out I'll bet is because of his own shame, not you. You just happen to be the easy target.
Showering twice a week is completely inadequate and your wife needs to understand that her poor hygiene is an issue.
For some reason, people that neglect their hygiene always seem to react defensively when told about it rather than being mortified. I’m not sure how you can get through to her other than to stop tip-toing around and tell her gently but firmly that you do love her and are attracted to her but her poor showing schedule is a turn-off and it would be for almost anyone.
Who cares what he’s doing, she’s the one who’s going through pregnancy with TWINS and will have to birth them. It doesn’t matter that he’s “the only one working” when she’s literally baking his babies
I think this is a tough one. He should have pulled out immediately when you said that, but it does sound like it was sprung on him rather suddenly given the discussion that had happened prior. Crossed wires more than anything, especially if he's not one to do things against your wishes usually. That's just my opinion, though.
Maybe some plan B if there is enough time may be in order if you're still having doubts.
She is entertaining his advances, which signals to them that there is potential and they should continue to pursue her.
This is the first stage of cheating. This lets her deny anything is going on while giving her an opportunity to safely get to know her potential AP. She may decide she's not interested or it's too risky and then she can say it was all harmless flirting, just friends etc
Why isn’t it okay for him to spend some time doing his thing online without replying immediately to your texts? Were they about something super urgent or was there an emergency?
Being someone’s girlfriend doesn’t mean you’re entitled to every second of their free time.
How does a person get to your level of intellect without knowing that your bf is being a complete jerk here?
You could be reading the telephone directory and not only is it none of his goddamned business but who tf does he think he is for judging you? You can read whatever you want.
You are still in high school. What are you doing dating someone your parents’s age? There are plenty of women who can give him a child before 40. Stop this madness and use protection.
This back and forth in your relationship is a red flag. If you hang out with the gang regularly but are suddenly not welcome on such a special day something is going on. Take a step back in your relationship. If all he wants is the benefits and not the friend with you, are you willing to accept that? A friend would not suddenly uninvite you, and coming from your SO it is far worse. Stop the ‘benefit’ and grow your relationship. If that is not okay with your BF that actually tells you where your relationship is. Sex is fine, but if you are looking for lovemaking, there has to be a level of caring your BF seems to lack. He is not opening his life to share it with you. It can work, but you need to understand just where you stand with him.
Hey, you are doing the right thing. I've also broken up with perfectly nice people who didn't ever do anything wrong because they just weren't it for me. That's okay. That's what dating is for!
Please don't be so nude on yourself.

Why Has NoOne Told Me This Before? by Dr. Julie Smith
I’ll definitely bring up this point. I’m more than happy to be patient with her while she learns. My main issue is her constantly taking issue with MY language
I’m just amazed you’re still calling him your fiancé
Bruises? Literal bruises?
Ftb
Just rip off the bandaid, so to speak, and tell him. Next time, use condoms or birth control, or don't have sex.
I mean, ick. There isn't really a read on that which I would consider positive.

He never said how long she was married. What are you talking about, the fact that she was married for so long ?

“I was drunk! It was only a kiss! One thing lead to another!”
Holy trinity of cheater excuses. There's like 5 on the front page of this sub alone.

Let us know how it goes
Bruh tell your husband and don’t let dudes kiss you for a couple seconds
Bachelor/Bachelorette parties are a cultural event in which cheating is for the last time permissible and even encouraged.
God I wish I was in a legal state
Tear their shot apart. Report them… out them. And let them know what they did….isn't supported

You broke up 5 months ago, just stop talking to him. You have zero obligation to help him – let his family and friends step in.
That would be soooooo irritating to me!
Who cares what he’s doing, she’s the one who’s going through pregnancy with TWINS and will have to birth them. It doesn’t matter that he’s “the only one working” when she’s literally baking his babies
Why would it?
Thanks for making me laugh!
Hon once it gets to this point you're better off distancing yourself from him. You already told him no and he thinks he can wait you out.
you just made a comment. if its me my taekwondo will be out with a roundhouse kick the side.
I think this is a tough one. He should have pulled out immediately when you said that, but it does sound like it was sprung on him rather suddenly given the discussion that had happened prior.

I would hope he doesn't find out about this yet then cause this would be a deal breaker for me and I would no longer want to online together ?

Sounds like it’s for the best considering she still goes out with her ex-boyfriends and lies about it. Relationship sounds dysfunctional on both ends.
Why isn’t it okay for him to spend some time doing his thing online without replying immediately to your texts? Were they about something super urgent or was there an emergency?

Throw this man away.

That might be what I'm feeling atm. Though there's some good points in this thread.
What was his response when you broke up with him.
I would say he was in the line of emotional to physical cheating. Good riddance tbh. You're too young to worry about that.
It is what you think. Never doubt your instincts.

Unless you’re a trick, yes, break it off.
