Why do you think that she is the only person who could possibly be attracted to you? There will be plenty of people who find you completely unattractive for many reasons. But there will also be plenty of people who find you attractive for the same exact reasons others found you unattractive… You just have to be willing to live long enough to give those people a chance to come into your life…
There are people in this world who do not want to see the homeless or face anything that might upset them. To see it means it exists and if it exists it means theres a possibility it may impact their lives so they try not to see it. Its the basis for the old adage ignorance is bliss. Is it a red flag? That would be something only you could determine, does that type of avoidence upset you?
Alot of guessing and assumption on both our parts lol. That's Reddit and the posters and commenters.
My main point is he left her there on her own with no ride. Never even called or sent a text to her to let her know the “what, when, where, why, and how” of the accident/situation.
I understand she is a big girl and can take care of herself. Maybe it's my male mentality or part of my personality, idk. But I would have to be unconscious in an ambulance to leave my girl like that without letting her know. Especially a 3yr relationship.
Thank you for taking the time to reply “eisial”. I kind of figured I was going to get hammered for my comment. I know, could have said it better.
Man reminds me of my ex wife. I had given her access to all my passwords. I had an old email account I had t used in 20 years. She looked it up. Found lots of spam for sex. Searched my computer for porn. Found none. Put a tracker on my computer and saw no porn in history. Accused me of cheating on her. I had recently been unemployed. I was packing the house for moving. Took kids to school and picked them up. Made meals. Did laundry. All while the wife was going to school. And she accuses me of cheating. Then next day accuses me of not looking for a job. Then the last day when she moved out said it wasn’t my fault. She was in love with her sons dad again. Sorry. I finally figured she had trust issues and was leaving before she thought I would leave her. She had been used and abandoned by her own family and previous boyfriends. I guess she thought I was no different. Married four years. All her other relationships lasted no more than 1 year.
The fact his family disowned him only 6 months after the marriage tells me that you could be the reason. It might be they haven't approved of you fully, he defended you, then got lash back for it. And now he resents you for it. That isn't fair though. Try to convince him to see if you can work this out in couple's therapy.
The issue is not one of condoms, it’s that your husband seems to be hanging on to a possible future where he conceives biological children despite your mutual agreement that was absolutely not happening in your marriage. In other words, he’s keeping his options open to father a child with another woman in case you divorce, die, whatever.
Forget the vasectomy for a moment—are you both still on the same page about children? Has he had a change of heart? That’s the real issue here—the form birth control will probably figure itself out if the two of you really are on the same page.
I am with you, ages aside, this guy has lied to you for 9mths. What is there to save?! Dating is a process to find enjoyment and someone to settle down with and see neither in this dude. Run don't walk away.
Probably not, most narcissistic people don’t care that they are.
You are a young adult, still in the transition phase between being looked after by your parents, to looking after yourself, some people take to it like a fish to water, others take a while to make the transition (myself included here)
See if your college library has any books on mindfulness, self reflection, self sufficiency etc. especially if you can find several written by different people from different walks of life. These types of books can help you to understand how you work as a person, and even suggest small steps you can take to help you achieve your goals in life.
I’m response he would say ‘you can too’, but, if he is off relaxing who is going to get the house hood stuff done? And if I took scheduled relax breaks he would become irritable and even less relaxed. I guess it’s the curly logic he has caught me in
Fmllllll. Well idk what to do because she doesn't want to be on birth control and I don't think it's very healthy either since it can fuck with your hormones
Dudes getting shitfaced nude + your wife with no clothes on, and your like, sure honey go for it? WTF. Really tough to have any sympathy for your feelings about it now. How do you determine where the line is in that situation. Cheating, probably not, unless she invited it. Absolutely idiotic to be in that situation, yes.

I'd be really surprised if he managed to slip you enough to knock you clean out, without you feeling off or noticing the taste.
Bur honestly, I'd really consider getting out of the relationship before you sink more time into it. I grew up around drugs and Xanax users are the absolute worst.
I have seen countless people pull themselves out of addictions with the hardest drugs, but never ever, not even once have I known someone that could stop taking that Xanax bullshit.
I agree with what you say but I disagree with the way you said it. ‘Better man’ out there is what I disagree with. I don’t think someone who looks at models or porn is a ‘worse’ person than someone who doesn’t. Also, for this guy, it may be something be likes, and she doesn’t, and that’s ok. She’s ok to dislike it. He’s ok to like it. There me be a ‘better man FOR her’ out there, but I disagree with the idea that just because a guy has his own likes, he’s not as good as ‘better men’ out there.
He’s in his right to want to look at photos and send them to his friends. I’ve had ex gf who would send me photos of other hot women with comments such as ‘wow isn’t she hot? Do you want me to get an outfit like her? Do you like this? Do you think it’s sexy? Should I try my make up like that?’ And they also wanted me to send them photos of women I thought were hot. They also didn’t care if I shared it with others.
But I’ve also had ex gfs who did NOT like this. And that was ok, but they weren’t for me. I don’t think they were ‘better women’ for not wanting to look at hot girls with me or want me to look at other not girls. Nor were the girls who did ‘better women ‘. But, is there a ‘better women FOR me’ ? Absolutely.
Sorry OP, but he was most likely doing coke. It’s one thing to have itchy nose and be stuffy and irritated eyes, but the rest yeah sounds like he was doing it and everyone just covering for him. Yes, even his bro.
Maybe it's a generational thing. I used to get that reaction from my Mom growing up, still do. But in this case, stepping away seems more peaceful. I put the effort of pick what I tell with my Mom.
You’re talking to the wrong people on Reddit. You need to talk to her and Frank honest open discussion. Because you’re right she’s way too young to be sitting by her self all day long with social media.
From your other post, i read that you are a “rich widower”. I guess the woman sees you as her jackpot. She mostly started working in this business a few years ago, she gets older, she knows her time is ticking. She wants you to be her meal ticket, her sugar daddy. And how stupid are you to have unprotected sex with a sex worker?! Do you want to get STDs or get her pregnant which would be her meal ticket.
You’re assuming her intent here. So could possibly be trying to hurt him through me, but she doesn’t seem the type. Honestly I wouldn’t able to say 100% for sure. My general feeling has been that she’s been hurting for some time and is just looking to experience a loving embrace.
What if I were to go to him and tell him of the situation before it went any further? If the only thing shitty is the lack of transparency, that’s relatively easy to address.
Then I would say you should find a compromise, talk, see where you agree and start from there. It sounds to me like you make a decision and then expect him to agree. Also in your post you say he agreed to renovations that you'll pay, but you declined. So it makes sense that since he doesn't want these renovations and you declined doing them with your money (by your own retelling of the story in your own words), he says no.
If you disagree on everything then break up.
STILL you don't get your name on the deed just because. There is no scenario in which you deserve your name on the deed just because you want to.
Do they know that their current dad is not their bio-dad?
If they are old enough I would have a conversation with them if they want to meet their bio-dad. Don't tell them many details on how bad he was back then or how he didn't believe you that you were pregnant but inform them that he choose to be out of their lives before you even knew the pregnancy was with twins.
Let them choose what they want. If they say they want to meet him now then arrange a meeting. Meet somewhere neutral like the mall or restaurant or something with you present. They might say “not we don't. Maybe when we are older”. Respect their wishes, inform your ex.
I just feel it's not necessary. Because your gf and you were not official at that point of time. And it's more of a half-truth than a lie. Technically, that other girl could be considered just a friend at that point of time,
I think it’s important to remember that, during the wedding ceremony, she will be very busy, and then will have pictures after that, at which time you’ll be stuck waiting for her to finish and get to the wedding. They may ride separately in a limo to the reception, and you may not see much of her at all until that point. It’s also very possible that the venue for the ceremony has more limited seating than the reception, and that they only have space for family and close friends.
I think you could tell your girlfriend that you’re upset not to be invited, and ask her if it’s something personal, but I think it is very likely that this is just a logistical decision.
Why do you think that she is the only person who could possibly be attracted to you? There will be plenty of people who find you completely unattractive for many reasons.

Happy Holidays! Peace
You could be an asshole and watch movies on your ex's dime. I'm sure he'll kick you off eventually though.
Ultimately up to you to decide. It can be to some , and not at all to others. How often can you two visit each other?
After my first university graduation ceremony, I would never go to another (have graduated two more times since this). They are so boring and long.
She your ex, you don't get to call dibs until the end of eternity. Why do you care?

Lol I see what you did there. You must be a teacher or a parent. Thank you for your help 🙂

You could always try dating someone your own age. Yikes.
She obviously doesn’t want her husband’s kid. She’s struggling with the fact that the kid even exists. Infertile =/= baby snatcher, wtf?

Yes she does, although I feel like she's already considered them/contacted them, because why else would she ask me?
Boyfriends are temporary. Cats are forever.
Hah, indeed sounds like bullshit. Pretty sad.
Idk what happened here… Do you not want to be a boyfriend? Do you not feel romantic about this friend?
Probably not, most narcissistic people don’t care that they are.

You just make it sound like it's impossible to masturbate without porn. If it is for you, there might be a problem you should check out.
OP is having the most problem with porn. Not just masturbation. And your whole argument is “Men like to masturbate”.
Yikes, that kind of cheating is pretty sinister. I don’t think I could forgive that.
Fmllllll. Well idk what to do because she doesn't want to be on birth control and I don't think it's very healthy either since it can fuck with your hormones

“Separated”? So he’s technically still married? Why are you getting pregnant with married men?

You owed loyalty to your girlfriend, and screwed that away. No one owed you loyalty. You don't even know the meaning of the word.

Thanks for a different perspective.
I get that she's a victim now and all that and not to pile on
But god damn what a dogshit sibling she is

You are 60 but behaves like a horny teenager.
You’re assuming her intent here. So could possibly be trying to hurt him through me, but she doesn’t seem the type. Honestly I wouldn’t able to say 100% for sure. My general feeling has been that she’s been hurting for some time and is just looking to experience a loving embrace.

yeah i get where you’re coming from. thank you for the advice.

How old are the kids?
Do they know that their current dad is not their bio-dad?
If they are old enough I would have a conversation with them if they want to meet their bio-dad. Don't tell them many details on how bad he was back then or how he didn't believe you that you were pregnant but inform them that he choose to be out of their lives before you even knew the pregnancy was with twins.
Let them choose what they want. If they say they want to meet him now then arrange a meeting. Meet somewhere neutral like the mall or restaurant or something with you present. They might say “not we don't. Maybe when we are older”. Respect their wishes, inform your ex.
Men don't get complimented very often, when we hear that a woman finds us attractive, we get happy.
I mean if you want to tell her, then do it.
I just feel it's not necessary. Because your gf and you were not official at that point of time. And it's more of a half-truth than a lie. Technically, that other girl could be considered just a friend at that point of time,
