It sounds like he needs to get himself sorted out instead of wandering around hurting innocent people. To love-bomb someone only to later say it wasn’t real is a cruel thing to do – as we can see by the way it’s undermined your sense of self worth. This is a fault of his that he needs to work on.
I'm on a couple different meds, nothing for ADHD though, trying some new things. Need a new therapist but have a psych. Like I said I work on it everyday as much as I can some weeks are much harder than others.
She's been more than understanding of me explaining this without outright telling her what my issues actually are. She definitely has said things to the effect of “I'm a tough love, lizard skinned kinda person” so she's not gonna wanna hear it at this point most likely.
That’s the worst thing I’ve heard in a long time. She is basically destroying herself and you want to be destroyed by her too? Well good luck with that
• I do have friends but I started to distance myself because there's been drama going on for 3 years and i got caught in the middle of and I just don't want to deal with.
• No but I do plan on working part time in a month.
• My education is going ok, after covid I slowed down a bit, but now I'm actually studying Piano and will get a BA in Music once I'm done in a few years.
I've just tried being open talking to new people from my school because I'm tired of my current friends.
It was an incredibly toxic and immature action on her part – but she’s 23 and was pregnant due to have a baby any time. I’m in my 40’s now, and shamefully looking back.. my approach to dealing with relationship issues in my 20’s was just as toxic. I totally would have ghosted a partner that I believed was cheating on me. Taking pleasure in punishing him. Not proud of it and not something I would do now… but I actually totally get her mindset. She was not thinking about long term implications of her actions. She was pissed off, hormonal, and dealt with it in a childish manner. You’re almost 30 and your world view is likely a lot more mature. She is not. You should know this by now. I’ve been in age gap relationships myself both as the much younger person as well as the much older. Part of being the older partner is recognizing when your partner’s behaviour is a result of their youth and immaturity – and help them understand. Was/is she apologetic/remorseful of her actions? Did she feel that she made a bad decision keeping you out and is actively becoming a better person? You said you’re thinking of ending the relationship, is it really because of this one thing? Or is this the reason you’re hanging onto but there is really more?
Your post was removed for the following reason(s):
Your title did not include at least two ages/genders or was not formatted correctly
Posts must:
include details about the involved parties including ages, genders, and length of relationship, and
request advice in real situations involving two or more people
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:
I was the 25 year old dating a 42 year old man before. We actually dated for 4 years. He chose me because I didn’t know better and put up with his shit that women his age would never. He did use me for money and lied constantly. At the end of the day, I ended up leaving him. I grew up and realized I wanted more out of my life than taking care of a 40+ man who I had already caught up to and left behind. No emotionally mature, normal 40 year old man is looking to settle down into a committed equal partnership with a girl in her early 20s. It’s all fun and games now, but you have a kid so ask yourself the big questions:
How long can you afford to go Dutch? What happens if he loses his job or quits? Old people get sick. Are you willing to be the breadwinner? Do you want more kids? If so, are you willing to parent with him? How do you see him fitting into your life with your kid?
Your mom is right. You don’t need advice, you need self love.
Agreed. My ex and I engaged into pegging and I didn't think he was gay. It was the constant commentary about his disdain for women, moderate obsession with the male physique, and his strong opposition to a MFF but enthusiastic urge to have a MFM (Or MMF for that matter with how often he'd try to persuade me his male friend “use to look good”) that made me raise an eyebrow at the time.
Your husband seems to be pursuing possible means of physical pleasure. If he starts showing other interests, even then, having a conversation should always be on the table in a relationship regarding something you're not comfortable with. Though, my ex did end up getting married to a woman, so even signs can be deceptive.
As it stands now, though, man just seems to want to try a new method of stimulation.
He meant that he will miss you. There’s no timeframe. He could miss you for a short time, forever, or anywhere in between. He can’t possibly know when that feeling will subside.
Once again, we see a man getting burnt out just two years in to caring for a woman who is ill, and he's getting comments saying to leave and live his best life. If OP had been a woman and it was the husband sick, these comments wouldn't be here.
You’re almost 30 years old and can’t handle that your mid 30s bf may have a friend of the opposite sex that he knew long before you existed in his life? Your reaction to his friend leads me to believe you’re more of the cheater type as they tend to be the ones who are the most paranoid about everyone else absolutely having ulterior motives. He had to cut off a good friendship for stupid reasons to accommodate your overrreaction, and now you’re mad because he misses his friend? You sound immensely selfish, and are so paranoid that you are hung up about the existence of about someone who does not even live in the same part of the country but clearly makes the man you claim to be so in love with happy. What’s your end game? To vet who he talks to, and approve of any conversation he has as long as it is always about you (and only you) and get daily affirmations that you’re super special? Perhaps you want him to cut ties with anything in his life that ever existed because you strolled in a year and a half ago and just want it?
The problem in your relationship, frankly, is you. As for resolving it, talk to a therapist and get a handle on yourself, because what you’re doing is unnatural, toxic, manipulative, and borderline abusive.
Cool, so then you'd understand that everyone processes trauma differently. I wouldn't say that they are uncompatible, but OP is unsupportive. She literally gains nothing from watching the cheating scene, maybe some minor dialogue in the scene. If that means more to OP then her bfs trauma, well she should probably learn to be a better partner. Honestly a little disheartening that when you say it isn't real life that you don't understand that for him, it is. It's reliving that same experience. And like others have said, he needs therapy. Title of the post should of been, “how do I encourage my bf to seek therapy for cheating related trauma?”
Is this person also a virgin? If so, what you did is way worse than you think. Id want to be warned of a guy acting like that. She’s protecting her friends from your behaviour – regardless of how you see it now.
I know this sounds extreme to you now but when you’re 30 you’ll understand. No 30 year old man sees a 17 year old and wants her unless he’s in it for sex or power. It doesn’t happen. Even if you are mature for your age you haven’t collected the same experiences (sexual AND non-sexual), the same abilities that come with brain development in the mid 20’s, or even the same stages in life.
As someone in their late 20’s pushing 30 I guarantee you once you hit 23-24 teens look like kids. The older you get the more they do.
It’s likely an ego trip, a power thing, and sex.
MOST adult women won’t date a man once she’s heard he dated a teen at that age. Especially when he knew you underage. I don’t know where you work but I have a hard time believing your coworkers are TRULY supportive. Maybe one or two sleaze balls but most likely they’re just not saying anything to keep the peace, not get reported, or bc they’re friends with him but 98% of people would be shocked and disgusted.
I REALLY wish I could show you what I see when I see 19 year olds. You would have no doubts that he’s a problem and you’ve got to go.
He is entitled to know his children. Your feelings are irrelevant. If he does in fact lawyer up, you are probably gonna wind up in a bad situation. Everything in your post reads of you being the bad guy from my perspective.
Pretty often, groups of men go to South and Central America for sex tourism. They go places like “The Fisherman's Loudge” which is located right in downtown and has nothing to do with fishing in any way and is packed with prostitutes. Get the idea?
If you're single and want that kind of experience, that's one thing. If he were to ask you permission to go do this because ultimately he's coming right back to you, well, maybe that would work, or maybe it wouldn't.
But right now, either way, this dude thinks so little of you that he's willing to lie to you about what he's doing and literally just put the relationship and you on hold. Dump him on that alone regardless of whatever happens or plans to know his vacation and find you someone who actually cares about you. That might mean that you aren't able to have someone quite so physically attractive… but that really isn't what matters most inside of a relationship.
If you know you'll be uncomfortable, don't force it. Do separate things with each of them. Maybe you can get a birthday breakfast with mom and do your birthday dinner with dad or vice versa.
I understand wanting to “best” your anxiety and get outside your comfort zone, but there's no need to rush something like this. Your birthday should be about you and what you want. You're the last person who should be worried about any awkwardness of discomfort on the day of your celebration, so do what is best for you and what sounds like is best for your parents too.
Good luck! My parents are divorced and the first few years after, things were supremely awkward and they kept trying to show my brother and I that they could do things together but it only put all of us on edge. We started to do things separately and, over time, we've begun to do things together too.
What about the harm to you? I can’t believe you find this whole situation wonderfully happy.
Your marriage doesn’t exist anymore and I wouldn’t keep fighting for it. He certainly hasn’t.
My ex partner, a friend, begged for years for a relationship. Finally did it. One accidental pregnancy later and he just lost the plot. Gambling. Abusive. Everything. I was so worried about his mental health (and everyone made it known he should be my focus ?) that it nearly drove me mad.
I ended up leaving when our child was nearly a year old. God life is so much better. Please don’t sell your life short. You deserve better than be attached to this person. So does your kid
It sounds like he needs to get himself sorted out instead of wandering around hurting innocent people. To love-bomb someone only to later say it wasn’t real is a cruel thing to do – as we can see by the way it’s undermined your sense of self worth. This is a fault of his that he needs to work on.
And how do you figure that?

Only if they try to prevent others from getting one.
That’s so cool. What a cool grandma. Sex is natural, normal and fun. None of us would be here without it.
Giving people presents that will bring them lasting pleasure is a thoughtful and interesting gift.
The only one I’m weird on is the tits. But maybe it’s how I’m reading it.
Loosen up a little. Sure, it’s wildly inappropriate but life is short, treat it like the joke it is.

This is like the saying
“you can get the guy out of the ghetto but you can't get the ghetto out of him”
Well congrats on the upcoming breakup. Sorry man.
Exactly, keep that attitude and it will do you more good than harm.
Sit
After everything is disposed.
She did invite him on the trip though, but when he learned that they’d be meeting her friends he told her he didn’t want to come
He meant that he will miss you. There’s no timeframe. He could miss you for a short time, forever, or anywhere in between. He can’t possibly know when that feeling will subside.

Prove it…
Thanks for the feedback. I haven't been able to step back and see that perspective, but now it's super clear.
Not happy with you, but happy to live off you? Get something legal in writing. You're responsible for your child, but not her.

Take a good look at the rest of your life if you stay together.
Then pack a bag and run.
If this is real I hope she dumps you.

It’s the idea that he would be profiting off of me which makes me feel like I’d be taken advantage of when there’s no direct benefit to me.
…You're being offered housing in return.
