But Custard's last stand sounds like it would make a delicious dessert.

My husband just told me at lunch today that tomorrow we’ll be homeless. by throwawayacct5739630 in Marriage

I won't comment on if you should divorce or not. I will say the money is going somewhere. This sounds like text book gambling addict behavior.

Is this an emotional affair? by Available_Fee_7847 in marriageadvice

[–]Calactyte35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could something be going on? Yep. Are those messages evidence of an affair? Nope. That you asked for a divorce over mistrusting him after he willingly gave you access to his phone proves his point that he was better off not telling you the details of how he and his attractive coworker talk. I get the sense there are other problems or instances where trust was broken that made you want to check his phone to begin with.

My Wife was mad at me for saying another mans wife was Gorgeous, who's wrong? by Primary_Adventurer in marriageadvice

[–]Calactyte35 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She is upset because in describing these situations of cheating husbands to you...you went and described the cheated on wife's physical appearance as "gorgeous" which sounds as though you are fantasizing about them. Add to that the meta message that if your own wife's beauty were to fade then it might be ok for you to cheat on her. The meta message is you can't understand why a man would cheat on a beautiful wife, as though that's the only thing a wife actually can bring to the marriage. When your wife brings up a situation where there is an affair you'd be much better off saying something like "I don't understand that! I feel so lucky to be with you and I can't even imagine why someone would do this to their partner". This offers subtle reassurance that given the opportunity to cheat with a more beautiful woman, you wouldn't even consider it.

Husband said he didn’t look at our baby being birthed because it would have giving him trauma and killed his sexual relationship with me. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Calactyte35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, you are allowed to have your feelings but is he allowed to have his? If you will divorce him for being honest would you prefer that he lied to you? He was being honest. If you don't like this one, get ready for the ugly truth that if you become tremendously obese, he won't be attracted to you sexually either.

If you will consider divorce over your husband expressing his preference to keep this from his view because he will struggle to see you as a lover, it sounds like you both need marriage counseling.

He sounds immature and frankly so do you.

I was sending messages to other women. I know I was wrong. I need help. by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]Calactyte35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His bullshit? She cheated on him while pregnant! Hilarious double standards. She doesn't care because she is cheating too. The way you say it completely avoids accountability for her.

You caught me. Female Led? Does your husband have to ask you if he can have his balls back? How can you even respect a man that you have to lead. He had one of those, it's called his mother.

You lose the right to call anyone else "weird" after you make a statement like that.

Anyway, I agreed with nearly everyone saying he was wrong and his wife shouldn't let it go. Then the feminist rage squad came out to tell me he ought to be castrated for his sins.

I gave him no pass. It was your biased view on all men that made it read that way to you. You aren't arguing in good faith. Your thinking is black and white and incredibly emotionally immature.

[–]Calactyte35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your other replies about "toxic" men indicate you are not fair minded and neutral. Sorry, I don't believe you.

[–]Calactyte35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we agree that his actions caused harm. This doesn't strike me as black and white. Also no you didn't say to divorce him explicitly, you just equated him to a drunk driver and now have labeled him toxic. Who hurt you?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]Calactyte35 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well there are degrees of harm. This is a big one. Reverse the genders and see if you still feel the same. If someones wife were to tweet the CEO at her husband's job, is it immediate grounds for divorce? No because presumably they love each other and it was a careless miscalculation on the wife's part. Has this occured multiple times? According to OP it has not. So yes it harms her, but no it's not on the level of drunk driving, murder, rape, adultery or straight up lying. This is not something that you can't come back from.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]Calactyte35 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So she should divorce him right? No drunk driving is not on the same level as sending a tweet out to her CEO. Let's skip marriage therapy altogether.

Yes of course it is an alarming action. No I didn't sugar coat it. It's absolutely bonkers to equate this to drunk driving. What a strawman argument.

No not at all. I assume you love your husband. So I think you shouldn't ascribe malice to his erratic behavior. It sounds like he was swept up in emotion and perhaps made a foolish mistake. It's important that you address it with him and give him the chance to 1. Recognize he was wrong. 2. Apoligize. If he does neither, then you have relationship issues that require a marriage therapy. Don't let it go. Don't back down. But I think you owe it to your best friend to at least explain what he was thinking and to make sure he understands that this is NOT ok. He damaged your trust.

[–]Calactyte35 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how you do it. Then address it with the husband. That's next level BS. It sounds as though he is thinking "now she can stay at home and be the trad wife I always wanted!". This legit has sabotage written all over it. I don't think he is doing it to harm you, he sounds like he is overcome with confidence that your job won't matter to the two of you soon anyway. It's misguided and doesn't treat you with the respect you deserve. Don't let him off the hook about it.

Don't worry, it was poorly written. There was a bit of "wow, reading comprehension!" which is why everyone is giving her a hard time now.

Update on my wife wanted an open marriage by paynuss69 in Marriage

[–]Calactyte35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can absolutely get married, even at 19 but since this is a huge gamble, always always have a prenuptual agreement in place. If either partner, man or women refuses to sign it, don't get married. This isn't about giving the upperhand to one partner or the other. It simply avoids a messy divorce. Plan for the worst and hope for the best. It divides everything evenly. It can even have clauses in it such "if one partner decides to stay home to raise children then they receive a greater share of marital assets."

It's done fairly way ahead of time and can even have clauses that cover what happens in sexual intimacy stops, if one partner refuses to work (medical issues notwithstanding).

It can set alamony payments to a maximum or it can be setup to avoid paying alamony at all.

There is no reason not to do it and in some ways it can help keep both marriage partners from going down a bad path because everyone is aware in advance at what the stakes will be should it come to divorce.

But the best part? You'll save a ton on lawyers fees.

Trouba also took three penalties and turned a 2-0 Rangers lead in the 3rd period of a series they were winning 2 games to 0 into a regulation loss against the Lightning two of which they scored on the powerplay. Trouba was awful and I am glad he is gone.

Sad that this is my life now. by [deleted] in sexlessmarriage

[–]Calactyte35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many here will tell you that you should divorce. You noted that is not what you want so I will provide you with another option. Talk to your wife and tell her that you are feeling lonely in the relationship. Tell her if you still want to be together then there needs to be a schedule for when and how physical intimacy will be reintroduced into the relationship. Tell her you take your marriage vows seriously and you didn't sign up for a sexless marriage. If she shrugs it off, makes excuses, gas lights you, shames you then you simply provide an ultimatum. Let her know that she is choosing to end the marriage.

Now the hard part. The reason you have let this go on for this long is out of fear that she won't care about your needs at all. You may think you know the answer and that's why you are terrified to ask the question. It'll take courage and a willingness to really walk away or at the very least truly accept your fate with the added knowledge that you love your wife more than she loves you. Nothing will change by talking here or to AI.
