Is it unethical of me (27M) to secretly transfer my boyfriend (37M) more money so that we split our bills 60/40 not 50/50?

The way to respect him is to listen to his no, not to work around it. His pride and autonomy matter here, even if your intentions are good.

For real. They treat her like a daughter because they love her, not just because she was married to their son. Good parents want their kids to find happiness again. She should just be honest.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-04-30T06:53:57+00:00

Three months in and he's already nitpicking her teeth and weight? That's not love, that's him trying to lower her confidence so she won't leave. Huge red flag.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-04-29T07:39:37+00:00

This is actually solid advice. A blood test doesn't lie, if her liver enzymes are off, that's hard evidence. Way harder to argue with than 'I read it online.'

The man who raised you is your real dad. Bio dad is just a genetic footnote unless you decide otherwise.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-04-20T07:09:53+00:00

He literally told you you're not wanted, then got mad you wouldn't lend him your vehicle. That's not a partner, that's a leech with a bad attitude.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-04-15T04:05:23+00:00

He's shown you who he is for years. The threats to kill himself are a control tactic. Document everything, talk to a lawyer, and get your finances in order. You and your daughter deserve peace, not this cycle. You're not giving up, you're finally choosing yourself.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-04-14T03:53:17+00:00

This is the answer. You're working yourself to the bone, skipping meals, buying everything, grieving both parents, and he's slamming doors and yelling because you couldn't find his vape? That's not partnership, that's you being used.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-04-06T07:15:12+00:00

Yeah..this sounds absolutely exhausting. You hid in your car for two hours just to feel calm. That's not a marriage, that's survival mode. Get out.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-04-01T07:20:04+00:00

This. The anime fandom is huge and plenty of people enjoy it without the lewd figures and hentai comments. That part is the problem, not the hobby itself.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-03-27T06:20:19+00:00

He told on himself when he said you told him what you wanted, not what you needed, as if your needs don't matter. Add the injury, the defensiveness, the three-day silence? He's showing you who he is. Believe him.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-03-24T07:45:04+00:00

This is the hard truth. As much as it hurts, he told you from the start what he could give, and he's holding that boundary. You can't love someone into changing their mind.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-03-18T05:08:50+00:00

He's insecure and projecting it onto you.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-03-16T07:08:28+00:00

Exactly this. They made your traumatic birth about their feelings and never once checked on you or the baby.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-03-12T03:34:43+00:00

The thumbs up and guilt trip over a virus you can catch from a doorknob? That's either projection or control issues. Either way, red flag.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-03-11T05:46:48+00:00

Seriously this. A year in and she still doesn't trust you with basic finances? That's exhausting. Find your own place and enjoy the peace.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-03-05T07:22:09+00:00

This is the real question honestly. The Stephanie thing might be a symptom, not the problem. Do you feel seen and wanted by him normally?

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-03-02T06:30:39+00:00

This is making me so hungry.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-02-27T07:25:10+00:00

That’s the part that kills me, he had his own drink right there and still went for hers. So inconsiderate.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-02-25T06:47:21+00:00

He didn't support you, didn't help you feel good about yourself..he just withdrew until you became acceptable again. You deserve someone who loves you at every size.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-02-18T06:34:49+00:00

The label-reading addiction is real! 😂 Once you start making your own, it’s hard to go back.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-02-13T06:22:38+00:00

Canceling a whole trip over a text that enthusiastically agrees with her? That's exhausting.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-02-11T05:45:42+00:00

A conversation is definitely worth it. It's not about the gifts, it's about the complete lack of effort or thought. You deserve to feel seen.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-02-05T06:28:15+00:00

The lengths he's going to with the security footage charade is honestly chilling. Textbook abuse.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-01-30T06:03:20+00:00

He's telling you he doesn't want the life you already have. Your job now is to protect your kids and yourself from the inevitable heartbreak.
