It is impossible for maladjusted desperate horny weirdos to be friends with women.
Thinking men and women can't be friends is a huge red flag, and by their own admission, those men are not your friends.
There are dudes out there that aren't gross weirdos and do make good friends. You just have to ditch the gross weirdos and keep making friends wherever you can.
Your both teenagers playing house. You’re too young to be tied down like this. Why are you living together so young when you’re ideals are not aligned?
He’s a boy who wants to hang out and have fun with his mates like a single person and you’re a homebody who wants a cosy nest.
You’re either going to have to align or you’re not compatible. Probably due to your ages and ideas of what you want. I bet you break up again because he still sees himself as a single person.
Yikes… that’s a lot to unpack, honestly. Definitely tell him. No way can you look him in the eye and tell him that you love him and there’s no issues when you’ve been having an affair for 9 months. That’s a LONG time
It could be very likely as she’s never had an std test before. I would still ask for the antibiotic. You could have been exposed and not show for a little while.
This relationship is NOT ready for marriage. Do not marry yet. You’re both very young and I do understand you’ve been together a long time but you are still very young. He’s cheated and now you find this secret file which shows he’s not honoring your wishes to delete private files… your foundation is just not solid and it seems like you are the only one with a desire to work on the relationship and that is the biggest concern.

Posts must:

We are enforcing the two rules listed above by making all titles start with ages/genders in the following format:
[##X][##X], [## X][## X], or [##-X][##-X] where ## is the age and X is the gender (currently M, F, T, A, NB, FTM, MTF but more can be added). You can have more than two ages/genders listed, but you must have at least two at the beginning of your title. Here is an example:
Also, how long will he refuse to spend good money on you just because his ex was a gold digger? Money is not the fondation of a good relationship but still, will he never spoil you because of his past? (By spoil I don’t mean in an entitled way or a sugar daddy way but generally husband and wife give each other good gift at birthday or just to surprised the other)
We didn’t talk it out in detail, but it seems for her the idea of buying a house (if affordable) seems to be a life goal.
After 3 years together and in your 30s I would seriously expect a couple to sit down and talk it out, in detail! Neither of you is right or wrong. You are happy with the way things are? Good! She wants more? Good! But at the end of the day you need to sit down and discuss what you want to do long term and see if your plans are aligned.
Planning and executing are very different things. I don’t see where you have specified why a dog is such a big deal. Are you allergic, fear of dogs, etc.? Do you question her ability to care for an animal?
Also you mentioned that discussion of moving in together is already causing arguments, which doesn’t seem to bode well.
March 14th is Pi Day. There is no “steak and blowjob” holiday. If he wants to get off and you’re not in the mood, he has hands and can take care of it himself.
He’s full of shit and also an ass — you deserve better, OP.
What to do next? Wish him well and let him go. Then you stop dating for the foreseeable future and see a therapist. This will continue – either with him or with someone similar to him- unless you see your own patterns of attraction and behavior and forge new behaviors. This takes time but at some point you must heighten your self awareness. You are young so get that head start!
For starters, let's look at this “I love him to pieces and I don't want to break up with him.”
Imagine you've been driving a car for 4 years, and the axle is rusted and the wheels could come off at any time and the engine is insecure and might fall out with no warning.
“But I love my car and I don't want to get a new one.”
Sentimental affection is powerful, but you must not let it blind you to reality. This relationship is devastating for you, it's hollowed out your relationships, it's changed the way you relate to friends, it's changed how you dress, and it's put five times more work into living your life.
Trade it in. It's better not to be in a relationship at all than to be in one that's such a liability.
Are you a licensed therapist dealing with sexual disfunction? Or are you a sex worker? Because this very much reads like you have sex for money with the people you are “healing”.
Thank you for your honesty… it is appreciated.. we used to speak all the time so it is out of the ordinary for me. Im guessing i am pushing her farther away by trying to work things out with her?
You absolutely shouldn't feel safe with someone that hurts animals to hurt you. Please, please leave. Don't become a statistic.

Taking you son for a run was your answer to this behaviour? Wow. You’re quite incompetent.

Anyone can pretend to be someone for a few months. This man isn't who you think he is.
A 30 year old dating someone who is barely I their 20s is BIg red flags. These relationships never work out & the younger one always gets abused.
Call and report the assault.

Sorry to break it to you, but relationships in kindergarden usually don't stick.
You need more than the ability to grow and change, you need to want it. He does not want to, so he doesn't. So yeah, sometimes it is that simple.
That said, been that guy, it is a naked pattern to break, but the thing is, he needs to do it himself for himself

She is a predator and I trully feel sorry for this kid.
He didnt ask why she doesn't want to have sex. He just wined and complained about it.

Did she recently start birth control?
That's what I'm saying though he easily could.

Never said it was almost as bad as rape, i said SA is one of the few things worse then cheating, nice try trying to twist words
Did you not tell him you didn’t want kids before you married?
You’re not compatible. His behaviour is abusive. For both these reasons you probably should think about breaking up.
