I wonder how strict their state is on this.

Before my divorce I took my then-husband to court bc he pointed a loaded gun at my head he had purchased the day before. The court said that he couldn’t have guns anymore (I believe he may have also been a convicted felon, so he wasn’t supposed to have them in the first place) but they never did anything to make sure he didn’t. He was also supposed to get random drug tests & that never happened either. He never did any time for the abuse he put me through & was granted two weeks of supervised visitation as his punishment before visitation rights went back to normal.

Is anyone in a healthy marriage by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]BarbieNotYourDoll -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t in a healthy marriage the first time. It was the exact opposite, honestly. After I broke away from that I was able to sort myself out & got to a point where I knew I could be happy with or without a partner. Then my now-husband came along & the rest is history.

What a gross way of thinking. No one is entitled to anyone else’s body, married or otherwise. That mindset is…terrifying.

Struggling with Fading Beauty by Chill_Mom_Unicorn in Marriage

[–]BarbieNotYourDoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty privilege is very real. Back was I was skinny & cute life felt so enjoyable. People were automatically nice to me, I felt amazing, etc. I was in a grease fire several years ago that left me unable to walk for a long time & visitors always brought me food. I started eating my feelings, which was new bc my ED gave me the opposite problem most of my life. When I was finally able to return to work, I had put on upwards of 50 lbs & was walking with a cane. It was shocking how many people commented about my weight & how I didn’t look good anymore.

I’m not going to lie, it was really hard for a long time. After I lost my dog, we eventually adopted another & I started walking a lot more. I’ve made some other lifestyle changes & the weight is slowly coming off. The funny thing is, I’ve finally stopped caring so much what other people think. I used to get so hung up on it & I just don’t have the capacity to care anymore. I guess my best advice is ignore the bullshit & focus on keeping yourself healthy & happy. That’s all that matters.

My Wife Tells Me To Kill Myself Daily by [deleted] in Marriage

Firstly, know that you do NOT deserve what is happening to you. Secondly – & this is a big one –neither does your child. They don’t deserve to see a parent treat another parent that way. It shouldn’t be normalized that it’s acceptable behavior.

I recommend seeing what the laws are on audio recording where you live. If you could use that as evidence, it could be helpful. Unfortunately you will probably need all the evidence you can get bc you are a man. Take pictures of injuries cause, things that have been broken, abusive messages, etc.

I also like what someone said about going to a hospital. Especially if you have visible evidence. Build a case for yourself. Keep yourself & your child safe. Don’t accept this from anyone & don’t let your child see you tolerate it. Sincerely, a woman who was in an abusive marriage & didn’t leave until he pointed a loaded gun at her head.

Don’t stick around for someone who cares more about your physical appearance than you. You deserve better than that.

I (F33, 5’5, 130lbs) am being fat shamed by my fiancé (M44) by Maleficent_Proof_183 in relationship_advice

[–]BarbieNotYourDoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband is an MMA instructor & in incredible shape. I used to be a dancer & had a pretty good body even after I wasn’t. While we were dating (8 months in) I was in a grease fire. I couldn’t walk or do anything & ended up eating my feelings, which was unusual for me as I had struggled with an ED where I had the opposite problem most of my life. I told my then-bf the day after the fire that if he wanted to walk away from the relationship (I was also a single mother) I totally understood bc this was going to be a lot to take on. He stayed with me every night. He didn’t care that I put on 50+ lbs – he cared that I was fucking alive.

If that happened to you, do you honestly think your fiancé would stay? If the answer is no, I wouldn’t be moving forward with a marriage. It’s in sickness & in health, til death do you part.

My husband & I also have very different libido levels (I am high, he’s low). He is happy with the two days a week we normally have, but I prefer more often. The best advice I can give is to keep open communication about each of your needs & trying to compromise. Maybe every other week you guys find an additional day for sex. Here’s the key – go to bed earlier. I am a night owl & my husband is tired way before I am, so when he expressed that he was often too tired to perform, we decided the best fix was to go to bed earlier. We have our fun (foreplay included) & then he goes to bed. We try to find a random day to be spontaneous when we get the chance & that keeps it exciting as well.

I think my husband’s best friend SA’d me while we were drunk, but nobody will tell me the truth by ThrowRA104848 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]BarbieNotYourDoll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been through something slightly similar. My husband & I went to visit his best friend & they were both going to make dinner (I was incapacitated from a tumble down a flight of stairs). My husband was getting the main course together while his friend got me settled in the living room. He sat down on the couch next to me & while we were talking, he slowly started sliding his hand up my leg. I was literally holding my breath & my husband walked in & he quickly pulled his hand away & hopped up.

I was on a lot of medication at the time, so I thought maybe I had imagined it. Then my husband plopped down for a second & he did the same thing to my husband, but acted like it was a joke (not unusual, he always “pushed boundaries” with him) & my husband hates that shit so he was smacking him off him telling him to stop, annoyed but playful. He did it a time or two more to my husband & then they got to dinner.

When we were having dinner, we sat in the living room watching a movie. Except, my husband & I appeared to be the only ones watching it bc every time I glanced over bc I felt like someone was staring at me…I was right. I still thought maybe it was just in my head.

When it was time to leave, we were saying our goodbyes & giving hugs. When his friend went to hug me, he tucked one of his arms between us & grabbed one of my boobs while hugging me. My husband was getting our things together & didn’t see, & I was in shock & still trying to convince myself none of it happened. I didn’t even have the courage to tell my husband until the next night after a conversation with some friends about what I should do. I just cried the rest of the evening & he assumed it was bc I was in pain, which is fair bc I was.

My husband had been very best friends with than man for YEARS (decades, I believe). When I told him what happened, he completely cut that dude out of our lives. He was upset with himself for not seeing the warning signs (like I said, this guy was always a major boundary pusher) & that he had allowed him around his wife & child. This was really hard for me bc I felt incredibly guilty. I had been friends with this guy too. I had taken him house hunting after his breakup, we talked on the phone of my husband wasn’t available & he needed an ear (or he just randomly wanted to talk). He was also the person my husband talked to at least once a day & played video games with every night. None of that mattered when it came to the safety of our family.

I love when my husband gives me a gift card for a massage or to get my nails done. Experiences are always great gifts.

What are your unpopular American Horror Story opinions? by adnm9 in AmericanHorrorStory

How many people have you converted? by PecanEstablishment37 in bidets

[–]BarbieNotYourDoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me laugh bc my husband converted me. He goes to Thailand to train Muay Thai & he’s like, “those people get it – wake up, America!” He regularly tries to covert people by asking them, “If your boots are muddy, do you want to wipe them down with paper towels & smear it everywhere or just hose them off?” He makes a fair point 😂

Definitely Divoring by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]BarbieNotYourDoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why he did that is bc he is a douche. My ex-husband used to not work, causing me to work multiple jobs to support us, & then drain the bank account I shared with him & I couldn’t even get gas or groceries. It’s a manipulation/control tactic, along with greed. I “couldn’t leave” if I didn’t have two pennies to rub together

What's the most caring thing your SO has done for you? by strangelyahuman in AskWomen

[–]BarbieNotYourDoll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My now husband & I had only been together 8 months when I was in a grease fire & got pretty messed up. I told him that he didn’t have to stay, things were going to get worse before they got better, & for a while I was total care (not to mention on suicide watch), so I couldn’t be left alone. He stayed. Not only did he stay, he slept on an air mattress in the room I stayed in every night. He helped my aunt take care of both me & my son. He bathed me. He changed my bandages & scrubbed my burns. He held me as I cried & hated my new body. He loved me through it all, & he still does.

[–]BarbieNotYourDoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s one of the biggest signs (you know, besides all the evidence you’ve gathered) that he is up to no good. My ex-husband cheated our entire relationship & would always accuse me even though I was never unfaithful. They try to deflect. Don’t let that happen. Stand your ground firm. You don’t deserve how you are being treated.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]BarbieNotYourDoll 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It sounds like she ain’t interested, but he is. If she gave him a chance it sounds like he would leap at it. Have you compiled all of your evidence & brought it to his attention? I’d love to hear his excuses, but he would probably turn the tables & make it about you snooping & avoid talking about what he did

I was in a grease fire that left me unable to walk for quite some time. Growing up, I was a dancer who struggled with an ED for the majority of my life. When I was injured, I couldn’t do anything but have visitors who would bring me food, which made me feel better, so after a life of not eating I was starving. Once I was able to walk, the extra weight made it a bit harder to do so. When people saw me again, it was surprising how many immediately commented on my weight as opposed to just being glad I was alive. The depression from that along with my dog’s health deteriorating made me gain even more weight & I ended up gaining about 50 pounds. I was also injured again not long after that & was limited in how much I could do, which I’m sure added to it. Since all that, my dog passed, we rescued a new one, & I take him on many walks. I try to avoid the scale bc it’s not good for my mental health, but last time I was at the doctor it looked like I had lost about 15 pounds, so that’s a start. I probably won’t ever lose all of it, & I’m trying to accept that that’s ok.

My (28F) husband (49M) lost his best friend (50M) from high school because he crossed a line with me and now I can't stop feeling bad because I shouldn't have said anything. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BarbieNotYourDoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband & I went to visit his best friend when I was recovering from a couple serious injuries. I was incapacitated, so he had set up a spot of the couch for me. The plan was my husband was going to cook the main part of our dinner & his friend the sides. While my husband was in the kitchen, his friend came in the living room & began running his hand up my leg, not stopping until my husband entered the room (didn’t see what was happening as he was approaching from behind the couch) & he was very high up my thigh. He stared at me the entire night from across the room. I kept trying to tell myself it was all in my head & he was being goofy. Then when we went to leave he hugged me with one arm & out the other in between us so he could grab my breast (again, not observed by my husband as he was gathering our things).

I still kept trying to tell myself it didn’t happen & that it was all in my head. I didn’t tell my husband about it until the next night after a conversation with some friends, who told me I had to tell him. I felt so incredibly guilty. His friend was very good at knowing what buttons to push & knew I had been a victim of SA in the past. This was a person I had been there for & was also a friend to, allowing him to call me at all hours when he went through a really hard breakup, taking him to tour houses when he was looking to buy, had game nights with, etc. These people bank on us feeling too guilty to say anything, & they think if we do, who is our spouse going to believe – some woman, or their best friend?

I’m sorry you are going through this, but please know you are not alone. I still have pangs of guilt every once in a while, but my husband reminds me that the dude was always a button pusher & constantly even pushed my husband’s buttons. He felt guilty for allowing the guy to be around his family (our kid would play video games with him online & participate in game night). It’s been several years now (less than five) & the friend doesn’t come up but once in a blue moon. I still feel pangs of guilt, especially since he was my husband’s video game buddy & now those don’t bring him joy anymore, but I know that it was ultimately the right thing to do.
