I like to comment on these threads without reading other comments since this sub, and reddit in general, can get very group think like
If I bias my perspective with what others are saying first, I cannot give my honest unaffected advice
Hence, I didn't see any of your other responses
I wasn't stereotyping. I was making a comment based on my life experience.
Saying some Japanese people like to eat edamame isn't a stereotype; saying they all do is
It's a common issue I have seen through my own life with similar situations
As for the hunch, I'm not sure what you expected asking a bunch of strangers on the internet for advice honestly?
Not everyone will have had life experience just like yours; I just offered mine
You say read more context, but I read what you wrote and here is what I thought:
My experience told me that you seemed a bit possessive; doesn't mean my experience is applicable to you tho
At the very least, I think you are being a hypocrite. Your BF likely sees it as unreasonable that he cannot see his female friends, but he respects that boundary
You see this as ridiculous, but seem less willing to respect it
I then offered perspective I have encountered in my own life to try to give you different angles to approach the subject
I don't know you, nor your bf, nor do I care if my hunches are right. I simply like the idea that taking a bit of time to write these comments can help people
So no need to be rude.
If you don't like my response, you're free to ignore it
The first step in being better is recognizing the problem. If you have kids (sorry I didn't see), you are setting a very bad image how a man should be.
If you don't like this therapist, try with another. Just remember: Rome was not built in a day. It takes time to get better. It's ok to ask for help and it's ok to share with your wife. She's not the enemy. She can help you too.
Leave and don’t let him waste anymore of your time. You’re only 37. I bet it sucks a lot right now but you’ll get through it. You have your life ahead of you.

This is not true
Ahh, the typical “get over it or you're just really insecure” go-to when it comes to men's emotions. Where have I seen this before…
