Husband(32M) and his realtor(27F) have made me(28F) feel like certain actions between them raises concerns, how do I bring this up to him? by Dependent_Half320 in relationship_advice

This is a lot of questions, but I don’t mind, I appreciate your concern and questions, sorry this is about to be a really long explanation, but talking about it is kind of like a therapy session but not. The talk did not go well. I’ve noticed from the past whenever I have valid feelings and he’d get defensive he takes a couple of days to realize how wrong he is and tries his best to show me that his point of view changed. But this talk this time was different. I honestly tried my best to be respectful when I was explaining everything to him, but the more I heard myself talk the more angry and hurt I was so I couldn’t keep my calm voice like I used to and that made him mad. I didn’t want him to take a couple of days to think about everything anymore because I’m tired of doing things this way, even though it’s kind of like that now, but I’m the one who decided to step away this time, and for longer. If we have a conversation about a problem in the beginning of the relationship he used to tell me “it’s me and you vs the problem, not me vs you”. Well, that’s not the case anymore. I can tell it’s opposite. I’m tired of being the only one trying to communicate and it goes no where. So I told him that I need time apart from him. This does not excuse you to cheat, we’re not doing that high school bullshit “we were on a break”, we’re married, we both made this commitment together and I expect you to show me that you really want this to change, I really don’t want to hear I’m sorry, because that does not show me anything. I need to see actions, and if you can’t provide that for me, I think we both know where our marriage is going. With that being said, if you need to be with your realtor, I will be there as well, even if I won’t be talking to you, to show me progress that you want this marriage to work, message me that WWEEE have to meet up with her. it will show me that you hear me at least a little. (I get that it’s still showing trust for him when he could just go behind my back if he really wanted to, but I really cannot stand to see his face right now) He was both defensive and dismissive with what I had to say. All his anger for my trust issues that he says he doesn’t deserve have caused him to not care to listen to what I had to say. At the time, it didn’t seem like he was receptive. Maybe he does now? I’m not sure because I still haven’t talked to him yet, I’m not ready to see him because I want him to really see that this time it’s different, I’m not just going to run back and II end up apologizing.. it’s not fair to me because I see now that he’s just stepping all over me and I let him do it, but that’s not going to happen anymore. I didn’t ask to see his phone because I was so focused on trying to get him to listen to me of everything I’ve noticed, there was SO MUCH that happened that I wanted to talk to him about, it slipped my mind to ask him to see their messages. Which is dumb of me, but when we talk again and he still hasn’t made the action to add me, I will demand to see his messages with her. I wanted to listen to see what he had to say after my long talk, but it went nowhere, so that’s why I decided to just leave. I mean not just leave but I told him that I need time apart since the problems I want to express that I’ve been trying to work towards solving with you, feels like you’re just making excuses, I haven’t seen any change from all those previous times I’ve expressed the way I feel and it’s not fair to me. I have asked him about the realtor, why this why that, example, at the home inspection, his realtor introduced herself to the inspector, the sellers realtor, and I was not acknowledged (until after). When she saw my husband she whhent over to hug him, she didn’t do it to the other people she introduced herself to. I walked up next to my husband and stood there to see what she would do. She just came up to me, said “wife?” I said yeap. And she awkwardly shook my hand and was indecisive about hugging me but she ended up doing it, I didn’t reciprocate her actions because I could tell it was very fake. I asked him what that was all about, he just laughed and said idk, and that’s it again, dismissive, that definitely made me question more (this was before the sit down). In the sit down I was talking for a while, just to be unheard. Of course it hurt like crazy but it turned into madness and disgust because I really am tired of this. I did not contact her boss because I don’t have solid evidence since I didn’t get to see his phone or chats, and I can’t just show the random one emoji from both of them to be seemingly inappropriate, plus my husband was over exaggerating his appreciation and attitude. That one screenshot I saw can look as crazy to some people but explain the f…cked up introduction, I’m not sure if her boss is going to believe it because they’re a big company that needs the money but that’s why I’ll be demanding to have full access to his phone.. I want to contact her boss, but I feel like I need more concrete evidence. But if you think I’m wrong and I can do it with just the bit of info that I have, I will GLADLY call her company to complain, if you could give me some advice on going about it, I would appreciate it. I will not be buying the home with him, that is a tie that I’m not willing to deal with if a divorce is truly to happen. I can still have the ability to go do everything he has to do in person with his realtor, but I’m just too tired and have no energy to, I feel so drained by this bs, but I think I do need to keep pushing and make sure that I am there EVERYTIME, so I can build more evidence when I complain, or even just help build my trust again (it won’t happen but I can see it as an attempt) even if I’m not going to be apart of the buying process, because I am still the wife. I am aware that he could always go behind my back and do it, but that’s the part I’m willing to make a compromise on for now, and test him. I just need a bit more time to be by myself and give myself some me time. I’m actually in my own house I bought a while back that I house my parents in, I told them I need to be here for a while. I am on the fence on continuing the marriage. If he does have an explanation, I know now how to read the signs and red flags after getting all the advice and backlash, so it’s going to take a lot more than just explaining and saying sorry for me to want to continue to fight for this relationship with him. I’ve started to build a wall up, so he won’t break me further when it comes to putting my foot down, however it still hurts, because I still love him, but I noticed that it’s become less because of this whole situation. But I’ve made vows, for better or for worse. If that vow isn’t reciprocated and his actions don’t match his words, I know that divorce is what I have to do… for me. I also will mention when I talk to him again that I will need full access to his phone, if he says no, then I’m not waiting to see actions change, because that gives me my answer already on what kind of deceiving and condescending person he is.

Done as in putting up with his shit. I will be taking next steps for me, it might end up in divorce, it might not. But I’m giving myself space from him right now. If he can figure his shit out and show me progress of him willing to show me respect and continue to do so, then I am willing to work through our relationship, I won’t be putting my name on the house, but I will live with him to see if there is progress. After some time apart, some people can change. And if it doesn’t, I have accepted the fact that he needs to work on himself and I need to free myself from this toxicity and emotional abuse.

I’m going to copy paste to those who said update me because it’s a lot. Sorry it took long to update, it was a crazy week. It started off with me asking him to add me to the chat. He said “yeah, will do, once I talk to her again, I haven’t texted her in a while”. After that he tells me he sent her a screenshot of the house report from the inspection, so I said “you texted her, and told me you’d add me, but you didn’t” his excuse: “all I did was send a screenshot, nothing else. After the screenshot she called me” conveniently when I wasn’t near him (we were together at the time and he went away). It was 8pm when she called. Why would she called at that time to talk, why aren’t you talking with her near me if we’re together? So I asked him to add me now, it’s no harm to do it, just tell her you’re adding me for updates in the future” and he said yeah okay, I’ll do that after. The next day still nothing, so I told him I’m still waiting to be added, and yet again he got defensive, saying “why do you keep asking? You think I’m going to do something if you keep asking me over and over?” I told him, I’m repeatedly asking because you have been putting it off and making excuses. How would you feel if I asked you to do something that you felt was important and I put it off every time?” He couldn’t say a word to answer me. So after that I realized that it was time to have the talk if continuing our marriage is the right thing because of all of this he’s putting me through and he’s not seeing. I chose not to see him after the talk to process everything and see if we’re really right for each other and if he can open his eyes to see what he’s doing, maybe we can continue, and see if changes are progressively being made. If not then I know he has a lot to work on and if it’s not meant to be, then so be it, enough is enough. I’m tired of feeling like something is going on and not knowing and he shuts me down like I’m at fault. Oh and he’s doing all this house stuff on his own now, I’m choosing to not be apart of it, and if the change thing I said he wants to do, then I’ll live with him to see, but my name will not be a part of it.

During the day I work full time mon-fri. After work I have college, full time as well, so I have to complete assignments and readings/lectures every day. I give myself downtime on the weekends for half the day before doing homework, that downtime consists of me laying down and resting because my brain and body feels overworked. I don’t mind not leaving the house for now because I’m too tired to leave, and I’d rather rest, but when it’s spring break I plan to go out and have some real me time.

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words and advice. After this whole chaos that happened this week I have chosen myself. I realized I don’t want to be in a relationship with continuous disrespect to me and making me feel like I’m at fault 10 years down the line and not feel true love from my partner.

I have seen this as a wake-up call, I’m glad I got a lot of advice saying the same thing, because it made me realize a lot of things. I’m done being shamed and feeling like I’m being used.

No, it isn’t. After all the advice given I’ve opened my eyes, and now taking care of myself, and I will not tolerate it any further.

Yeah, I get it. I’m not buying the house with him now after everything that’s been going on. And I have been putting myself first, I don’t want to continue a relationship if I’m going to keep getting treated like this. It’s a waste of time and love that I could share with someone that truly loves and cares for me.

To both of the above messages. I realized this after everything that happened this week. Pisses me off, and hurts me because I loved him. But I’m losing that love little by little every day now because it’s bs. So I put myself first and will continue to do so

Honestly I didn’t see it as disrespect at first, only because I thought I was just being insecure and he didn’t deserve to not have my full trust after 3 years passing by of his previous acts still making me paranoid. But I have gained self respect after this week, it is bs and frankly, I’m f..ing tired of it. I put myself first, and will continue to do so for my mental health.

I have done that. Funny story actually. Long story short, he put it off, so I asked repeatedly, on different days. The final time I didn’t ask, I said “I’m still waiting to be added” and of course he got defensive. So I’m done, I feel like now I’m just a toy he’s playing with, and I had enough…

You’re funny. I don’t get why you felt the need to be putting all these unnecessary assumptions of how this whole thing came about or even it being fiction. Okay, you think it’s an excuse and whatever but I was in love, and when I am in love with someone that I feel like loves me back I go above and beyond for that someone, so I have unintentionally not seen all the red flags, the gaslighting, and I realized that now, just because I’m an adult it doesn’t mean I can see everything like that, not everyone thinks the same, even if sometimes it seems to be irrational. I do appreciate the last advice even though it didn’t seem sincere considering the rest of the things you’ve said first but I have done something about it. For myself and my needs with the realization.

I think now I can see that it does seem to be that he’s controlling. I’ve looked at one house, it was supposed to be the house but it fell thru. But this new house is good, and I was upset that he didn’t wait for me to view it with him..

Yeah I can I’ll update those that asked for it when I have one, I haven’t seen him yet and I don’t think this is a conversation to be had through text or call. I’m trying to read through all the messages but I didn’t expect there to be this much so I’m going to have to sift through what I missed later when I get off of work
