My dear… you've got yourself into a situationship.
You were broken up and you are looking at it like he cheated on you because you've put yourself in this weird part time relationship. You're messing your own mental health up. You're either together or you're not. Pick one.
If this was real and true love then he wouldn't be seeking sex elsewhere. He'd be committed and loyal to you. He said it himself he missed intimacy… meaning sex. Not you, he didn't miss or want you… he missed sex. Now he's literally using some other poor girl for sex. That should tell you everything you need to know to get out of this situation.
You need to love yourself more then you love him. You need to work on your self esteem. He is not a good man. He's making a fool out of both of you. Don't be a clown. Walk away.
I would recommend still apologizing for it at least to just rule it out. If she goes back to normal then that was it, then if not then she’ll still be acting weird and you can say “hey it seems like something is on your mind. I thought it was cancelling plans but I still sense you’re upset. Is there anything else that I did?”
I feel whatever way I do it she will say she wanted me to do it the other way but ya I'll probably just do it when we go to basement. Just feel like I'll be asked why I didn't do it Infront of family. According to her Xmas Eve is a big event her mother cooks and a bunch of people come over says it's bigger than Xmas. Not sure what it will be like because never spent a Xmas with her. Her parents have thanked me numerous times for treating her good.
I really appreciate this comment, thank you, especially the first point. I do get alone time usually as I only work three days, so I get two days at home, but I think he feels I get alone time all day every day, when in reality it’s work time. Sure, I may watch an episode of TV here or there, or lay down on my bed between meetings, but it’s not alone time – it’s a work break. As someone who’s never worked from home (nor have any of his friends), I know he struggles to understand this, which is fair. But this comment has made me feel heard, thank you

Your title did not include at least two ages/genders or was not formatted correctly
Posts must:

We are enforcing the two rules listed above by making all titles start with ages/genders in the following format:

The amount of trash humans here telling you to either flat out file a false police report or blackmail him with threats of a false police report are fkn STAGGERING.
What do you have to forgive unless she promised she was a virgin and that was your bill to die on- which would be weird- but she had sex with someone else. Call the cops. Revenge porn is on him, not her. Unless it was her having sex with him during your relationship
Idk, unfortunately it sucks for you, but you can’t change her experiences growing up and until she gets older and sees herself as beautiful and sees that you (hopefully) never did any of that on purpose, she’s going to be resentful. She wants to be the most beautiful person in the room on her wedding day and believes that if you’re there, that won’t happen and you just get to deal with it. Sucks but like you can’t make her change how she feels.
Don't make him change his mind. What your daughter is doing to you is horrible and she needs to face the consequences of her actions. Your husband SHOULD be standing up for you and not letting ANYONE treat you that way.
Personally, if my wife had 15 seconds of stupid I think I could get past it if she worked like hell to make things right.
I don’t blame you for feeling how you feel. It sounds like you made the right decision for you. What dog do these people have in this fight? That’s the creepy part.
Oh nooooo how dare a woman cut her hair and look like a….gulp….lesbian. Get the fuck outta here. Haircuts don’t equal sexuality you can not like a hair style and not put other woman down you know.
info: Do you by any chance suffer from BPD coz I do and this is strikingly similar to how I used to think.
That feeling is a false sense of hope. And if you keep working on your personality disorder you will be paid off. I was and I got over all my abusive relationships and now am happily married to a person who respects me and treats me with abundance of love and understanding.
It doesn't sound like you made any mistakes. You told her how you felt but she felt this is too much emotion to handle right now. I don't see why you had to keep it a secret from the group, right from the start that seemed like a bad path. Right person at the wrong time. Just be friends. She is under a lot of pressure since she's obligated to be friends with her ex, it affects all her relationships because she can't just be herself around them and now can't be herself around the your group. She has a lot of masks on right now. Her world doesn't revolve around you, it revolves around her, and she feels out of control. She's avoiding a close romantic relationship for now because she needs to find that control again. Give her a break man.
Girl, get your important documents, and leave while he's at work. Do not go back when he tells you how much he loves and misses you. Go to a DV shelter, family, friends, but go.
She asked me once if it bothered me, I told her no because we hadn't reached this level yet. Her response was, verbatim “It wouldn't change anything, but I'd still want to know”
I think what I was trying to say about the children if all feelings are lost for her , it might be a better solution to just seperrate and we make arrangements for the kids … staying together not having feelings and contining to fight everyday might not be a good solution just bcos of the kids. I don't know I'm not a therapist that's why I was asking what's the best way for her to be happy .btw I have encourage her to see a therapist and she agreed that she needs to see one to heal but as of now nothing yet . I don't know whatver can lessens the pain as much as possible might be the way to go . I myself need a therapist and I've told her that

Nah. If she is living there she can definitely bring it up to her parents. “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” bullshit. She isn’t biting anyones hand by talking to her parents about it lmao.
I feel like this is exactly what i meant when i mentioned my abusive ex, because i wanted everyone to know the context of why i even liked the guy in the first place. It’s definitely rebound behaviour i dont need therapy ? lol it just happens to be someone whos my boss , in a relationship and way older.. yikes for me
Out of all the possible cheating that can happen, I think this would be the easiest for me to forgive. It happened very early in the relationship, she broke it off herself, she never did it again.
The part that would bother me the most is the hearing about it after six years. I would want to hear immediately ideally, so I could decide what to do, although I have not really been exclusive at the two month mark ever, so I guess it wouldn't matter at all.
But at six years I would be mad to be told– like why are you burdening me with this information to feel less guilty? That's bullshit.
If Ashley’s in an ENM relationship, she should have asked about yours. And your wife should have told her it was monogamous. And Ashley should have said, “I’m not here to be anyone’s affair partner. Let’s do this ethically or not at all.”
Instead they sexted and made secret plans together, which your wife then sprang on you.
At whichever point they deviated from a more ethical approach, that was a violation of your relationship.
The fact they didn’t respect you and your relationship means this was an affair. Ashley is the affair partner and always will be. I doubt you’ll ever feel great about her. And that’s on her and on your wife.
If you want monogamy forever, great. You can tell your wife that. If you’re open to threesomes, or to her exploring ENM herself, that’s great too – but it shouldn’t be with Ashley. It should be with someone who isn’t stained as an affair partner, who enters the picture in a respectful way that you can feel good about.
I’m gay. Being queer often means slowly coming to terms with your attractions/desires… needing time to figure it out and accept yourself. Your wife may have needed an Ashley to help her explore her own wishes and get to the point she was prepared to tell you. The screwy part is trying to bring Ashley into your life and expecting you to instantly feel good about it/her. You’re going to need time too to come to terms with all this.
It’s possible your wife is gay and not bi. Or maybe she’s bi and your marriage is forever. I’d want her in therapy to figure herself out and handle this slower, with more consideration for you. Because at the moment, she’s focused on herself and jerking you around. If she wants you to be on board, and feeling like her #1 priority, she needs to put some effort into that.
This isn’t going to be popular, but I think you should first realize that the only reason he knew was because you told him when you weren’t supposed to tell him. He did the same thing you did, so being angry with him and not taking responsibility yourself isn’t fair.
This has happened to me before too, and my initial reaction was the same but I realized it was my fault. I learned to not tell secrets or to ask for permission to tell my significant other, and I think that bothered them when I wouldn’t talk about certain things, but it also taught them the same lesson.
You were a stranger.. She did not know who you were. You were in her home
Yes it is scary and will take time for heart to return from your throat.
Here in our home we have guns and daggers because home invasions are bad here.
They kick your door in and shoot whos home. Two kids were killed not far from here. One sitting watching tv another in his room
You can not blame her for pulling a gun. Things are getting bad all over.
We took self defence classes and gun safety.
We are down to six police officers. Yeah only six ..
Many big citys will take hours or longer to get help.
So the roommate having a gun tells you she is aware and really a person you want to know.
If you like the guy keep seeing him.
And if your out a lot at night or working late you might want to get a concealed weapons permit and a tackpen. Clip it on purse for easy use looks like a pen but its not..it is first line…
If your walking to car and someones following you pull it from purse tuck in hand so they do not see..
if grabbed you plunge into them… If they bend over lock hands bring them down on the neck knee them if down stomp never run…
You run and they get up your toast….
So if you like the guy go talk and meet his roommate…..
open relationships are an absolutely terrible way to fix a relationship that is in trouble. I don’t even know how this became such a common belief that that is what they are for. open relationships are something you do when your relationship is already strong and it’s something both still want anyways. it’s a bonus addition to something stable enough to bear more than it’s own weight, not added structural support for something crumbling.
to me this is a big communication issue leading to a lot of speculation. we don’t know what it is, you don’t know what it is. the only person who has that information is him. the position you’re in right now is that if he doesn’t tell you what’s going on you have two problems: the lesser problem is you don’t know whether or not this problem is fixable or how to do it. and the bigger problem is that you’re unable to communicate well enough to be in a relationship.
so do what you can to improve the lines of communication on your end. which includes communicating strongly to him that he needs to be honest about this with you if you’re relationship has any chance of working.
You literally said that the fact that the FWB showed up at the house, and that the OP was thinking about going to see the FWB at the restaurant “proved the point” of the ex gf. Lol
I’m extremely sorry that I cheated. I want to work through as much of my problems as possible. I have not taken this lightly or some sort of joke. I’ll take whatever consequences or pain I deserve. I will never do this again because I fully understand that I messed up and don’t want to loose it. My husband is the greatest person. I told him when we first met that I wasn’t good enough for him and had issues and he still took me in and married me. I told him all the mistakes I made in the past and knew I had a lot to work on. So I’m willing to work on whatever I need to. My love isn’t cheap. I’d still do anything for him. I had a series of weak moments and decided to go to someone else rather than therapy. I have other reasons why I struggle with going to therapy but that’s a whole other story. But I am willing to do whatever needs to be done.
Once a cheater always a cheater. It's not cheating, it's definetly a red flag though. If you want a open phone policy in a relationship it's ok to have that boundary, any boundary is best set up at the beggining.
He loses his 2 kids and you, just for some extra sleep and some strange. Doesn't sound like a good deal at all. Like why waste all that time, and bring lives into the world if you don't want it. He's going to remain the unhappy one, you're going to move on. internet hugs.
So how did the conversation about the hypothetical swap of partners didn’t bring up a red flag? Or was that more of a “you usually go for x type and I go for y, but we went to opposite.”?
No no no we we’re in Nola for the day we went to the bars back where we’re from, I told her no shot we going to the bars in Nola at night especially when there’s nothing going on that night
Ah gotcha. Thank you for the context. I’m sorry he spoke to you that way. I hope it never happens again.
Yeah that was a firmly though politely closed door.
Well sometimes reading a book would help but it doesn't work often, or cooking, or eating, or writing but only on a rare time.
I think cuddling would help me because it would transfer some of this energy that women have in their chests that warms people.
My dear… you've got yourself into a situationship.

You need to love yourself more then you love him. You need to work on your self esteem. He is not a good man. He's making a fool out of both of you. Don't be a clown. Walk away.
Talk to him and ask the questions you need.
I would recommend still apologizing for it at least to just rule it out. If she goes back to normal then that was it, then if not then she’ll still be acting weird and you can say “hey it seems like something is on your mind. I thought it was cancelling plans but I still sense you’re upset. Is there anything else that I did?”
No harm in apologizing as the first step!
I have an advanced degree. That was important for me, personally.
I don't care what degrees a partner has. There are loads of fields that don't require one, and not everyone is a student.
That doesn't mean they aren't intelligent, either. All having a degree means is that you took some classes, wrote some papers and took some tests.
I care that my partner is kind, intelligent, caring, funny, loyal, blah blah blah. I don't care about a degree.
The definition of everyone fucking around and finding out ???? what a pickle
I wasn’t trying to be mean, I just feel that marriage advice isn’t the best from someone in the early 20’s. I don’t want to sleep around actually
I feel whatever way I do it she will say she wanted me to do it the other way but ya I'll probably just do it when we go to basement. Just feel like I'll be asked why I didn't do it Infront of family. According to her Xmas Eve is a big event her mother cooks and a bunch of people come over says it's bigger than Xmas. Not sure what it will be like because never spent a Xmas with her. Her parents have thanked me numerous times for treating her good.
I wish every man was like this lmao

New Years as a holiday is super overrated anyway.
It's not about being together on certain times, it's about making the most out of the time you have.
Find a guy you want to communicate better with.
The amount of trash humans here telling you to either flat out file a false police report or blackmail him with threats of a false police report are fkn STAGGERING.
He is physiologically incapable of the emotion as the rest of us know it. The only kind of love this man understands is possession.
What do you have to forgive unless she promised she was a virgin and that was your bill to die on- which would be weird- but she had sex with someone else. Call the cops. Revenge porn is on him, not her. Unless it was her having sex with him during your relationship

But then would do I say when she asks why? And she will ask! I always get super nervous because she’s extremely persistent
Personally, if my wife had 15 seconds of stupid I think I could get past it if she worked like hell to make things right.
I don’t blame you for feeling how you feel. It sounds like you made the right decision for you. What dog do these people have in this fight? That’s the creepy part.

I’m not dating him, I don’t care. I was just responding to someone’s comment.
You sound young and naive. This guy is probably bullshitting everything he has told you.
If your still going out once a week to get trashed, you’re not ready to be married. Either grow up or get a divorce. Please don’t have kids
How do you know? Youre not invited lol
info: Do you by any chance suffer from BPD coz I do and this is strikingly similar to how I used to think.
That feeling is a false sense of hope. And if you keep working on your personality disorder you will be paid off. I was and I got over all my abusive relationships and now am happily married to a person who respects me and treats me with abundance of love and understanding.

Humans have worth beyond someone wanting to fuck them. She isn't a sexual object she is a person. All he sees her as is a sexual object.
If Ashley’s in an ENM relationship, she should have asked about yours. And your wife should have told her it was monogamous. And Ashley should have said, “I’m not here to be anyone’s affair partner. Let’s do this ethically or not at all.”
Instead they sexted and made secret plans together, which your wife then sprang on you.
At whichever point they deviated from a more ethical approach, that was a violation of your relationship.
The fact they didn’t respect you and your relationship means this was an affair. Ashley is the affair partner and always will be. I doubt you’ll ever feel great about her. And that’s on her and on your wife.

What did I do that’s so bad? Even she won’t say something this mean to me
8th grader behavior

open relationships are an absolutely terrible way to fix a relationship that is in trouble. I don’t even know how this became such a common belief that that is what they are for. open relationships are something you do when your relationship is already strong and it’s something both still want anyways. it’s a bonus addition to something stable enough to bear more than it’s own weight, not added structural support for something crumbling.

FYI, putting something in someone’s mailbox is illegal. Just leave it by his door.
Keep your conversations work related and short
If you keep feeding the fire, it will continue to grow
It’s not unusual to develop feelings for someone you spend so much time with
Sorry your gf isn't interested in being mommy 2.0. Maybe end it and try again?
Btw avoidant behaviors don't serve anxiety. Therapy treats anxiety.
So get professional help…
What culture is that exactly, so the rest of us can avoid?
I doubt that any alienation will last over time, bout of you are family. I agree that you should follow your heart here.
Yikes on Bikes – I feel bad for the dude based on this response.
You literally said that the fact that the FWB showed up at the house, and that the OP was thinking about going to see the FWB at the restaurant “proved the point” of the ex gf. Lol
I have some notes as well.
I’m extremely sorry that I cheated. I want to work through as much of my problems as possible. I have not taken this lightly or some sort of joke. I’ll take whatever consequences or pain I deserve.

He loses his 2 kids and you, just for some extra sleep and some strange. Doesn't sound like a good deal at all. Like why waste all that time, and bring lives into the world if you don't want it. He's going to remain the unhappy one, you're going to move on. internet hugs.
So how did the conversation about the hypothetical swap of partners didn’t bring up a red flag? Or was that more of a “you usually go for x type and I go for y, but we went to opposite.”?
Gosh she's that old and never grew up. RUN!
No no no we we’re in Nola for the day we went to the bars back where we’re from, I told her no shot we going to the bars in Nola at night especially when there’s nothing going on that night

Trust not works if you’re open and honest. It will take a while to regain his trust, even though it’s a seemingly minor thing.
