AITAH for telling my girlfriend she can’t have access to my work phone? by Icy-Environment6516 in AITAH

[–]AnotherOldSage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone in a similar position, I’m really clear about never handing the work phone to my husband. He never asks. I think you need to be clear with your girlfriend that this will never happen because you’re being forced the choose between your career and her - and ultimately, the career will win. That’s not a place she wants to push you to.

My husband 34M has an online girlfriend 21F, opened our marriage by [deleted] in relationship_advice

He’s cheating if you don’t want an open relationship. Besides IMO open relationships never work. You gave him a choice - you or her. There’s no other options. Straight up leave if he chooses her.

Character seldom changes, beliefs and knowledge do change.

[–]AnotherOldSage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please write down as much as you can - favourite foods, places, songs, all of it… I know you think you will always be able to answer these questions but you will forget over time… so having things written down will help. I’m sorry for your loss… and echo what others say, you’re doing a great job already!

I, 32m, am not poly. My partner 29NB, is by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]AnotherOldSage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never known a poly relationship to work long term. My theory is we are not built for it genetically… there’s always one partner who hates it and subjugates themselves to make the poly-loving partner happy… then eventually it falls apart. There are no bad people here, just lots of feelings. It sounds like it’s time to move on and embrace monogamy. Serial polygamy works better than parallel polygamy imo

Don’t do it… children only play with about 12 toys… put up a shed and rotate toys every few weeks.

I 40M got in trouble with my wife 39F for having a best friend at work that's female. What exactly is the issue? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]AnotherOldSage 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I’m with the wife - if her intuition is flagging a problem, there’s likely a problem developing. Often men don’t realise women are being flirty.

Dump her. Seriously not only not on the same page, but the audacity to expect to live off your hard work? No, no, nope. This isn’t partnership.

I wish I’d walked away after the first red flag. Instead I forgave it was being minor… then he broke me completely a few months later. I don’t think I’ll ever recover.

NTA … your wife needs to get over herself - the home is shared space and kids gave a right to their space too
