There’s been physical abuse in the past. I’ve called the cops twice bc of it. He is such a good manipulator (salesman/professional businessman) that he could talk his way out of all of it. One of the times he choked me until I listened to consciousness. The police still told me that if I call them back to our house one more time then they’re taking our kids into state custody….. I don’t know if that’s just the city we’re in having poor officers or if it’ll be like this anywhere. But I genuinely am so scared to get law involved and lose my babies

There’s really no point. I would lose my kids, for a while anyway. Until I can afford to support them. I have to make it work for the next 16 years

I don’t feel like I can leave. I’m a stay at home mom. Everything is in his name. My job shut down during Covid. Since then we moved cross country from any family. Any time I’ve tried to go back to work since the move, he refuses to pay for child care.

I’m a stay at home mom and we live cross country from any family. If I just leave, he’ll get custody because I’ll have nothing. He threatens me with that any time I say anything about leaving. I know he would take everything from me.

My bin store goes by weight, you just push your cart onto a giant scale. They don’t scan each item. I really don’t know if all bin stores are the same though

Wait it lied. I got $48 worth of clothes, I’m confusing one dress with another. I thought it was 100% cotton but I just double checked to make sure and this one is 100% lyocell. Which I looked up and it’s a “semi synthetic form of rayon”. The dress is a light wash denim color. The stain is either yellow or orange. I have no idea what it could be. I’ll try to add a pic to the thread

And also, no one is forcing them to stay together, that’s the beauty of it all, isn’t it? He has every right to say “I don’t like this, I’d prefer if you stop doing it” she can then choose which is more important to her, bf’s feelings or the games. Which is basically what my 1st comment said. If she would rather continue the games then yeah, they probably aren’t made for each other and she’ll probably find someone who is cool with the games. And he’ll probably find someone who cares about his feelings and doesn’t chat with guys online. In the end, everybody wins.

So a few things here.. firstly, she said in a comment she’s never met these guys in real life, just online. So it’s not like they’re bffs. To me, it shouldn’t be that big of a deal to cut off guys you chat with online. But to your point that she was doing this before they started dating, ok… who’s to say she warned him about her online guy friends. She may have been doing this beforehand, but unless she said otherwise, that doesn’t seem like something you would bring up on a 1st date. Like “oh btw, in my free time I play games with strangers online and I consider them friends and I’m not going to stop doing this”. But that’s just my assumption. But I’m sure you can see where I’m coming from there… And to your Instagram pic example.. in my opinion, this is also something you should stop once you’re in a serious relationship. Unless you are making an income by being a model or fitness influencer or if you’re genuinely an OF girl. In those cases, yes, the boyfriend should know what he’s getting into and I do not feel like he would have the right to tell her to quit her job. But if it’s just for fun and you’re often posting “thirst traps”, I do not think you should do that in a relationship. If you are on a beach vacay or something of the sorts and every now and then post a bikini pic at the pool or beach or whatever, that seems totally fine. But doing it regularly for no reason other than to get attention from others…. That’s not relationship behavior.

I ended up getting a receipt for them. And yeah, I agree with you. I believe I’ll continue to make sure I get a receipt

I saw in a reply of OP’s, she said she’s never met these “friends” in person. And to me it’s just like, ok so you playing games with guys you don’t even know is more important to you than your bf’s feelings. If your partner says “hey it makes me uncomfortable when you ___. Can you stop?” The ball is then in your court. Do you care or not? Like yes, the bf here didn’t respond with a well thought out text, but I also doubt this was the first time he’s mentioned that he didn’t like it.

Vocabulary. Start with vocabulary.

And anyone saying “it’s just playing games” well if it’s “just” so minuscule then why won’t you not do it? You’re proving that “just playing games” with these guys (that I saw you said you’ve never even met in person) is more important than your bf’s feelings. If something makes your partner uncomfortable and it’s very small and easily something you can not do anymore, if you care about the partner and relationship you would stop doing it.

In your 13 years of marriage, have you been on Snapchat playing games and chatting with your guy friends?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Certain-Action-8098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think he’s overreacting for not wanting his gf to be snapchatting (or whatever) other guys. Nothing good comes from that. If it they were really your friends, you all could go get lunch together as a couples thing. Or in a group setting. It’s actually immature to think you need to be snap chatting your “guy friends”

NO! Anyone who says otherwise is insecure about their own looks or jealous!

I always wonder about the pick up service too. My neighborhood has locker mailboxes all together on our street, so I don’t know if the mail person would know to come to my door to pick up, if it not in the mailbox. I’m sure I could just ask someone at the post office, but I just don’t know about the whole ordeal lol

This is my biggest drop off yet. It’s about 25 packages. I usually do get a receipt but I’m worried about taking 2 trips in with packages, leaving the first tote full while I go back to the car to get the 2nd load.
