This is NOT healthy, far from it. Read your own words and ask yourself if it makes sense that you were sleeping on the couch, without a blanket, in an effort to not make him “mad,” while all along, he’s being extremely unreasonable, and in my opinion, exhibiting a version of abuse.
Who the fuck cares what you were doing… Why is he pretending to be sleeping? Why is he such an ahole & why are you still with him?
I have been on antidepressants for a long time and I found they did the opposite for me. Without antidepressants I felt like a shell of a person with no emotions – no happiness or joy (even when I knew I should feel these things), however no lows either. I felt like I didn't have a personality and I wasn't a real person.
Sertraline changed that – I finally felt like who I was supposed to be ! I felt like an actual human again, and able to connect with my emotions – even the bad ones when the time was appropriate but this felt like a blessing for me after feeling nothing for so long.
I wasn't on the right anti depressant to start with though. It took trial and error through 3 different types. You also need to give them time to work because they do not work immediately and you are told that they can make you feel worse to start with. Finding the right antidepressant can be a long process and you will probably need to stick with your wife through the ups and downs of the journey.
Counselling will not help her unless she believes it will help her and so there is no point trying to force it on her as she will probably resist. I've been to counselling and even when I felt ready and open for it, I didn't help me. This may not apply to your wife but just be aware that everyone's reaction will be different and what works for one person on the internet may not work for your wife.
I wasn't in a relationship when I was trialling the right medication so I can't advise what would have helped me from a partner during this time, all I can say is it is a long process but there is absolutely light at the end of the tunnel. You might find it worth organising counselling for yourself to help with your own thoughts and feelings.
i agree with what hes saying but for the love of god stop posting these questions. its obviously you from the weird spacing and format of the questions. this is a relationship ADVICE subreddit. not a subreddit for general opinions on sexism and sexuality. telling you whether or not he won the argument is not advice
You deserve to be in a relationship with someone who loves all of you the way that you are! You should have an open conversation with your boyfriend about how you feel (nude, I know), but maybe he has never considered that he was being cold towards you when you needed affection. If he explains that your being trans is the reason, then it might be time to find someone who would truly love you the way that you are. Good luck!

She's only the love of your life if you unalive yourself at age 18. All she is is a girlfriend you felt really good about. There can be others. When you are 40 and have had a few breakups, then you can talk about someone being the love of your life. Right now, you've experienced too little for that to make any sense.
The main reason it makes little sense to date a guy in the military is they are going to be away for long spells and have relatively little control over where they are posted. It's not for everybody – enforced LDR.
If you want to remain sweethearts, go for it, but do talk about the distance issue. Certain kinds of postings tend to be in a stable location, and you might think of that when you apply for them. It might not be the most aggressive career path though.
OK you’re leaving some things out your title is would you be upset if your FWB hid you. So I’m not sure what’s going on here but frankly, I wouldn’t be FWB with anybody because it usually doesn’t work out. One person becomes more attached or there’s weird stuff like this it’s never that simple with human beings.
It looks like you're trying to post a throwaway submission.
The right way to do it is to create a brand new Reddit account that begins with ThrowRA. Having it in the title as you've done with your submission will have no effect.
Please create a new account that starts with ThrowRA in the username and try again.
“When we used to fight, he would reassure me and apologize (if it was his fault) and our arguments would only last about a day or so.”
I'm curious, how did you handle things when you fought? You've described his role and (former) resolution to fights. But not your own?
That said, its escalating. It sounds like he has been on edge for a while with divorce on the fringe of his mind. I wouldn't be surprised if he thought perhaps the change of scenery & job would improve something but it instead just made things worse, or if there is more tied to the relocation than he is comfortable sharing (like stress, a demotion or some sort of negative repercussion of something that happened at work).
Either way, this is not healthy or respectful communication and his reaction to an easily remedied missed electric bill for a place no one is even currently living in is way over the top. For some people, this could be a point to start marriage counseling. But personally… I'm of the mind that divorce is not something to throw out lightly. If this were my situation, even if I was amicable to the idea of counseling & reconciliation, and even if he were also and we started going to counseling… I'd still be consulting a lawyer just in case so I didn't get blind-sided.
Wow OP that guy is a piece of shit. He really tried gaslighting you and make you feel like you were being crazy. I know it’s not easy but I hope you divorce him, no one deserves to be treated like that. I wish you well in whatever decision you make.

Not ridiculous but wrong of your BF to leave you hanging for a homie on house arrest. IMO he should be taking care of you, because thats what we do for the ones we love.
I think your wife may have post partum depression because honestly if she sleeps through the night your evenings are all your own!! Her expectations are unreal, and she prolly needs therapy. I am a mother and have 2 toddlers, 1&3. I get the taxing nature of toddler and baby life. It’s exhausting but she is not being reasonable. I think she needs to get evaluated for PPD and anxiety.

She probably has a crush on you. You need to sit down. Talk to your girlfriend about what’s going on and then stay the heck away from the sister. This seems to be a reoccurring theme in the last month. Be honest with your girlfriend.
Ditch her ass and find someone respectful. Kudos for admitting it to you I guess but I mean….that's only worth so much in the grand scheme of things. Even before the cheating occurred I'd have probably broken up with her just for being 27 years old and still going out to parties. Work colleagues or not….she's too old to be doing shit like that….tell her to grow the fuck up and take responsibility for her actions – starting with the one she just made effectively ending the relationship.
Yes now that I am clear how she feels I am putting myself out there but at the end of the day my mind goes back to thinking about her and it sucks. Although I am trying to keep myself busy and my mind off her.
No I don't think that all stalkers are innately bad people, I think they are emotionally damaged in some form – I am not trying to distance myself from them, but I find it nude to believe that I fit the profile of a stalker.
Definition:
'a person who pursues someone obsessively and aggressively to the point of harassment.'
To say that I am obsessed with my partner…. because I messaged him to apologise… to meet up to apologise… I wouldn't call that harassment. If that behaviour were to continue, then yes I would agree with you. He is in control. Not me. I am not negotiating anything.
He is capable of deciding for himself as to whether he would like to see me or not, he can do many things to prevent that from happening – which is not to say that I am going to push him to do those things! I have stopped contacting him.
Omg girl are you stupid? Profiles on there only get discovered when the person is active. Why on earth would a dating app show ppl who were inactive? That doesn’t make any sense. Grow up and realize you’re being played.
Yeah its been a concern of mine and since we dont online together or even in the same town, i dont get to be with him a lot. When we’re together hes fine. When he drinks a lot its cause we both are and having fun. Hes even admitted he’d self harm with alcohol in the past, when his mental health would tank and that so i guess I was sort of hoping he wouldnt “need” to be working the floor in there and drinking a whilst he does it.
His parents are alcoholics and he had a bad childhood with them he still has trauma from and theres alcoholism in my family too, he and I both said we dont want to be like them but i dont see him working on not being like them.
I tried she won't hear me out like she told me today she was done. But at the same time not even a few weeks ago the thought of me leaving made her break down crying ?
Ramen isn't that smelly tbh. I myself like bringing a bunch of mini burgers during a long flight to snack om instead of botthering the FAs.
If he has bad table manners and it makes you uncomfortable, communicate that to him. Have patience and teach him (though treat him as a fellow adult, not a child).
Sounds like an easy thing to fix for me (as a guy).
You deserve all those things, plus for the man to keep those things in the relationship and not take them outside. Good relationships aren't a lot of work. (Also, you said in your op that communication was an issue, but in my view you personally seem just fine at it.)
Bruh you know their are plenty of women out their. Take some times and work on yourself you said you treated her not so good so work on yourself so the next girl you meet you don’t go through this. Just break up don’t get back together you are literally now a back up plan. She can go have fun because she knows your just going to sit their like a dog and wait for her move on. Breaks = Breaking up
Um well he changed his mind. People do that sometimes. It's a good thing that he can communicate he sexual needs/boundaries with this much confidence.
He's probably just someone who needs a strong emotional connect for sex to feel right if something. If you want to know more you can ask him (making it clear that you're just curious and not judging) what he meant.
On the other hand, it is unfair for someone who works this much to look for a romantic partner knowing they have very little time and energy to give to the other person. It seems like OP wants more of a FWB than a girlfriend.
Count your blessings. This is not how a healthy relationship works. She punched you in the head. That should have been the end there and then. Don't self pity and blame yourself.
Letting someone know about being late is a huge thing as well. I work as a vet tech and our clinic books people in for 20 minute consults for 'regular' stuff. We will ask people to be there 5 minutes before their appointment. I often have to call people to ask where tf they are and they will just be like 'oh yeah I'm gonna be late'. Just… call and let us know.
You are right that this girl needs therapy and she needs to go whether its for your relationship or not. Maybe even book that appointment for her and tell her that you won't speak to her until she has attended.
You may be what she needs to get that push, she can't feel comfortable living this way and she really needs to get help as soon as possible.
Any one who pressures you into doing something you don’t want to do doesn’t love you and have your best interests at heart I attended some health training on the dangers of anal sex a few week ago and the risks for women are serious and potentially life changing. Trust yourself and think carefully about how this man is treating you and whether he’s worth your love and time.
I wear jewelry from an ex who is now a great friend. My partner buys me jewelry because he wants to and never suggests that it should be a replacement. My point being that not everyone will react the way your current boyfriend is. Personally, I wouldn’t change what I wear to appease someone else. That’s what you need to decide on.
I would suggest looking up the location metadata on that image to figure out when and where it was taken. I sincerely doubt it's evidence, though, he would have given you much better evidence like chat logs or location + time information if he was trying to help you.
Sounds more like the guy is enjoying the pain and drama he's provoking in your marriage.
—
Inform her that the guy claims to have fucked her, and sent you pictures to prove it. Ask her what she thinks and what she's going to do next.
If she's outraged, leaves her job, and blocks him on socials and reports him to HR for harassment, its possible she was innocent. If she has any other reaction, such as wanting to stay at her job with the sociopath who claims to have sexual relations with her, I would just drop the marriage straightaway.
—
If she's telling the truth and she has never touched this dude, I find it difficult to believe she would want to stay at her job working with him after he's lied about having a relationship with her to cause drama in her marriage.
That's disgusting, dump him.
I have taken way more sexy pics than I have ever sent. This is def pretty common among women!
You never love two people the same way. As long as you're looking for the feeling you had with an ex, you'll just keep falling into old patterns.
Do break up: they deserve better. Work on yourself, because as long as you're looking for crazy love, you'll only find temporary fixes.
Maybe get a few counseling sessions in before you pull the trigger, this is something you can't take back.
A: leave B: leave C: see A & B

This. I find myself asking this question in my head for about 50% of the posts on here smh.
I know you’re right tbh.
no.
no.
Delete. Block.
But she had to know there was a chance he’d tell me right? Even accidentally, which is what happened

Don't take this advice. In my own personal life, this would be grounds for a serious physical altercation lol
I would opt out of the whole relationship. Red flags ahoy!

Uh, no, women do not go into the bedroom of the guy asking to sleep with them in order to “prevent themselves from getting raped”.
Staying with everyone else at the party seems like a way better strategy, wouldn't you say?
No I don't think that all stalkers are innately bad people, I think they are emotionally damaged in some form – I am not trying to distance myself from them, but I find it nude to believe that I fit the profile of a stalker.

That's the orientalist definition, kinda racist. Harem is the women side of the home, not some sex slavery

Wait no wasn't 7 I miss hit sorry its been 5 I am having issues typing on my phone right now as ya kinda shocking and trying not to die here….
When we decided to take a break, we agreed that we were still married so we would act accordingly
You don't get over it OP, that's being grossly unfair to yourself because of the sunk cost fallacy.
Now you set up individual therapy and you figure out how to move on from this person
I tried she won't hear me out like she told me today she was done. But at the same time not even a few weeks ago the thought of me leaving made her break down crying ?
Get an eye patch, man.
I have and he's said he's getting divorced
Ramen isn't that smelly tbh. I myself like bringing a bunch of mini burgers during a long flight to snack om instead of botthering the FAs.
If he has bad table manners and it makes you uncomfortable, communicate that to him. Have patience and teach him (though treat him as a fellow adult, not a child).
Sounds like an easy thing to fix for me (as a guy).
Ahhhh let’s hope n0t
Imagine being 50 and this desperate. Sad
You deserve all those things, plus for the man to keep those things in the relationship and not take them outside. Good relationships aren't a lot of work. (Also, you said in your op that communication was an issue, but in my view you personally seem just fine at it.)
You have a crush. He’s a stranger. It’s not love. All is good.
Bruh you know their are plenty of women out their. Take some times and work on yourself you said you treated her not so good so work on yourself so the next girl you meet you don’t go through this. Just break up don’t get back together you are literally now a back up plan. She can go have fun because she knows your just going to sit their like a dog and wait for her move on. Breaks = Breaking up
Um well he changed his mind. People do that sometimes. It's a good thing that he can communicate he sexual needs/boundaries with this much confidence.
He's probably just someone who needs a strong emotional connect for sex to feel right if something. If you want to know more you can ask him (making it clear that you're just curious and not judging) what he meant.
My advice: if you aren’t okay with it now, you won’t be okay with it 2, 5, 10 years from now either. It will turn into resentment.
She needs to remember that she has a family and young kids, so she needs to firmly shut this shit down.
What’s with all the doormats lately? Jfc, how can OP even consider that this is a good idea
They aren't Mongoloids though. Just because Turkic peoples originate from the Steppe or near Mongolia, doesn't mean they are “mongoloids.”
Why can't you leave? He's obviously controlling and verbally abusive
You can’t not be a surgeon. She needs to start getting comfortable at the hospital.
That’s his excuse, don’t buy it he’s a rapist.
I mean you will be an idiot if you go back to her it’s never just sleeping I am sorry my friend
On the other hand, it is unfair for someone who works this much to look for a romantic partner knowing they have very little time and energy to give to the other person. It seems like OP wants more of a FWB than a girlfriend.
Your girlfriend is an immature nightmare.
Count your blessings. This is not how a healthy relationship works. She punched you in the head. That should have been the end there and then. Don't self pity and blame yourself.

It concerns me that you are asking if this is a deal breaker? If this was okay with you, then why post here?
You both should heal together. You were ignoring him all these while you think he wasnt grieving as well?. Its a decision he made.
If you want to save this marriage, talk to him, let go and heal together.
Any one who pressures you into doing something you don’t want to do doesn’t love you and have your best interests at heart I attended some health training on the dangers of anal sex a few week ago and the risks for women are serious and potentially life changing.

If she's outraged, leaves her job, and blocks him on socials and reports him to HR for harassment, its possible she was innocent. If she has any other reaction, such as wanting to stay at her job with the sociopath who claims to have sexual relations with her, I would just drop the marriage straightaway.

If she's telling the truth and she has never touched this dude, I find it difficult to believe she would want to stay at her job working with him after he's lied about having a relationship with her to cause drama in her marriage.
Whatever. I guess y’all have a point
He's not your dad
