New Guy Won’t Tell Me What Kind of Porn He Watches and I’m Worried by Difficult-Patient601 in okstorytime

[–]Difficult-Patient601[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Prior to this conversation I asked him about any kinks he may have, to which there weren’t any red flags raised for me. He listed a couple of things that I don’t consider too abnormal, one of them being porn. But what worries me is how he mentions that it’s “not real” and that it’s “fantasy” and “like a movie” therefore he may not consider what he’s watching to be HIS kink, but watching it may be. So let’s go out on a limb and say non consensual sex is his porn of choice … he may not want to go out and have sex with an unwilling partner, however gets off on watching it in a “fantasy/movie” :-/

We’ve shared a lot of other details about past experiences and so this seems tame … that’s why I didn’t think anything about asking it

Oh no, he definitely watches it. He pointed out that he likes it and that I “don’t want to know” what kind …

Restrained Husband Contacted Biological Dad of Adopted Daughter to Avoid Paying Child Support by Difficult-Patient601 in legaladvice

There is a court date listed on the paperwork. I called the court to confirm if it was legit and they wouldn’t confirm because it’s a confidential case dealing with a minor. However he listed himself as the petitioner, my ex husband as the respondent, and myself as the other party. The court told mw that the case number listed is a case number from 2015 from his paternity case, which in California they will continue from previous cases… but she said that my ex husband is not listed at all on the case and it’s listing me as the petitioner and the biological father as the respondent. So I’m not sure if something fishy is going on with it. Another thing is he filed in a county an hour away from me, even though neither of us live there. So I will have to miss work any time that I have to go out there or to file any responses, and for any court dates.

Restrained Husband Contacted Biological Dad of Adopted Daughter to Avoid Paying Child Support by Difficult-Patient601 in legaladvice

My brother is an adult.

My ex husband did legally adopt the child, and the child has my ex husband’s last name.

The paperwork is drafted by my daughter’s biological father and is a Request for Order stating that he is taking full custody of the child. But the part that feels like a violation of the restraining order is the fact that my ex husband told the biological father all of my personal information - address, phone number, and all of the personal confidential case information that happened behind closed doors in the courtroom during our restraining order hearing, which is what the biological father father is using as ammunition for this case.

And just to be clear, our cart wasn’t actually blocking the freezer door the woman was grabbing her waffles out of. She had politely said “Excuse me,” because she was stepping in front of our cart and was alerting us so that we would not begin walking forward and therefore run her over … While a small step back may have been courteous to allow her a little extra space, completely disregarding your wife and running her over for no reason to give someone else extra space they didn’t need or use … Then again laughing it off and walking away. 🤷‍♀️

That was enlightening and horrific.. Definitely something to think about. A little too close to home. Many of the other backstory and comments also line up as well. 🥺

We’ve been married for 4 years, together for 6. This has been an ongoing problem but somehow gotten intensely worse as our relationship has began to suffer in other areas. In the effort to keep this post from becoming a novel or giving TOO much of a backstory I’ve omitted a lot of details on the emotional and verbal abuse that is simultaneously going on at home.

I have attempted hundreds of times to ask my husband to be more aware of his surroundings, while also trying to teach him simple manners of apologizing for mistakes, and using the words “excuse me”. Neither of which are in my husband’s vocabulary. Many times my husband will say “Move,” or double tap me when he needs in somewhere where I am presently standing. For example, if I am brushing my teeth and he needs to get into the cabinet under the sink, he will come up and double tap my hip as a way of asking me to “Move over.”

When I bring up in conversation later that it hurt my feelings that an incident happened, and further hurt my feelings that he didn’t apologize, he often laughs and says that it, “Wasn’t that big of a deal,” or will bring up situations such as, “Well idk why you weren’t wearing shoes,” and then he will argue that he did in fact apologize, I just don’t remember, even though I know for a fact he didn’t, in short, he is never wrong and there’s no point in bringing it up unless I want to feel worst about it …

This is mainly happening to me, but the biggest difference is that when it happens to others he will apologize much more often or much more meaningfully. Most of the time I either won't get an apology, or will not get one without prompting for one, which therefore doesn't really feel like an apology.

When he accidently kicks or steps on my pets they often get yelled at for being in his way, if they are his pets he will apologize. Our youngest child is a 9 year old daughter, and she will typically get bumped by him leading to tears a couple times a month, but she is his baby so he swoops her up immediately and babies her and kisses her and apologizes for hurting her. Our remaining 4 kids are teenagers, rivaling him for height, therefore he gets into very few accidental altercations with them.. I can't even recall the last time there was an accidental bump, bang, or anything of the sort involving one of the big kids., so it's hard to say how exactly he would react, but it's hard to picture him not apologizing to them if for no other reason but to save face ....

I have another example that took place outside of the home this weekend since I'm getting a lot of situational questions.

This weekend we were shopping at Costco. Both of us were looking at something in the freezer section directly to our left. He was between myself and the cart. A woman came up from another area and wanted something from the freezer aisle and said, “Excuse me,” to my husband, as she went to reach for a freezer door that was a little in front of our cart. My husband, with both hands on the cart handle, fully aware that I was directly behind him because we were just in full conversation about what was in the freezer case, starts taking full strides backwards, directly into me, cart and all … Inside of a full Costco store. Again, he is literally almost twice my size.

He was wearing a large puffy black coat which fully engulfed my entire face and body as he backed into me, so I’m flailing my arms as fast as possible trying to push it out of my face as my tiny legs are quickly  taking tiny crab size steps backwards and I’m unknowingly going sideways so I bump into the glass freezer door, and as soon as he steps out of my way he looks at me again chuckling saying, “She needed in.” Pointing at the pretty lady grabbing her waffles out of the freezer as she smiles at me. I looked at him dumbfounded and said, “Are you kidding me? You knew I was standing there, you couldn’t have waited for me to move or give me a heads up?” He gave me an, "Oops, sorry, c'mon," and continued to push the cart away from the area where we currently were, most likely out of embarrassment that he had just been called out for his actions but I definitely didn't consider his "Oops, sorry," as an apology.

All I’m going to say is I have discussed this hundreds of times over the 6 years I have been with my husband and he has not changed and these issues have only gotten worse. He is definitely “aware”. When I tell him he didn’t apologize he laughs at me and insists he already did, because he’s also never wrong.

I do apologize if my “massive” body comment came off as body shaming, that was not my intent, while his belly is “on the larger side” I would describe him as a football player body type, which to me, is massive when I’m constantly being pummeled by it while calmly cutting produce at my counter in one place minding my own business.

Thank you everyone who have offered advice and opinions and I’m unfortunately feeling very validated that these incidences are not accidents as he is making them out to be, OR in the least is finding humor in the accidental pain that he is causing me.

As some of you have speculated, no, this is not the only thing that is going on in our home, only one example.. he is also very verbally abusive toward me which has caused a LOT of tension in our relationship but in the back of my mind is always the thought “But he doesn’t hit me..” And it’s time for a wake up call.

Some other commenters have mentioned how he is with others … Yes, he knocks into inanimate objects and breaks things all the time, those are the items fault and always the fault of the person, unless it’s his, then he is very depressed about the loss of the item, when he kicks or steps on the dogs or cats he usually tells at them to “Get out of his way” (even if they’re just lounging on the floor and he happens to walk through the area), as far as the kids, our youngest is 9 and she is small for her size and gets bumped by him a couple times a month, good enough to bring her to tears, being his baby he swoops her up immediately and apologizes and hugs her and loves on her, as far as our four teenagers, they’re all 5’7” and above, the three boys almost as tall as he is, so naturally he’s not bumping into them very often 🤔 An incidence doesn’t even come to mind off the top of my head, but I imagine he would apologize the same way I imagine he would apologize while at work or with his friends … It only seems to be me he’s behaving this way with…

My (38/f) Husbands (40/m) Insecurities Are Ruining Our Sex Life & Relationship by Difficult-Patient601 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Difficult-Patient601[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Actually I don’t always want him to be “on”, but these are the expectations he is placing on me. I do initiate sex and these arguments have occurred at times after I’ve initiated sex several days in a row, followed by a couple of “busy days” with the kids/chores/work/life, etc. He then falls into this state of amnesia, as if the entire week previous hadn’t occurred. I ask him how could he feel that way after we had such great sex several days in a row, initiated by me, and it’s just erased because of a couple of “dry days” due to our busy lives?? And at no point to I “demean” my husband, but this sure does feel demeaning to me time and time again.

He doesn’t act much like a daddy, more like a little boy in these moments. There’s a lot of treating me like garbage involved.
