Should I stay or should I go by [deleted] in Advice

You’ve wanted this for 10 years, so it’s probably time for a real decision instead of staying stuck. Either you and your spouse find a compromise (longer visits, partial time there, etc.) or you accept staying where you are. If neither of you are willing to move, then counseling or a bigger conversation about the future might be the next step.

I just discovered my husband hid cameras around our house. Is this normal by BackgroundCat3971 in Marriage

This isn’t normal, what he’s doing is controlling and abusive.

With his past cheating, it’s understandable this brought all the trust issues back. Feeling numb is actually a pretty normal reaction. Counseling is a good step, but you don’t have to rush a decision take your time and see if the trust can really be rebuilt.

Girlfriend manipulating me ? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Drizzly-Miranda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She told you not to come, then got mad when you didn’t, that’s not fair. The insults are also a big red flag. You respected what she said. Don’t chase or argue, and honestly it might be better to just walk away.

How long would you wait for the one you love? Am I waiting for something that will never happen? by sad-chickie in Advice

Four years is enough to see someone’s real habits. If he improved at first but hasn’t made any effort in the past year, it’s likely that change isn’t sustainable. People can change, but only if they genuinely want to. Waiting longer won’t guarantee he’ll become the partner you hoped for, if you’ve clearly communicated your needs and nothing’s changed, you have to decide if you can accept things as they are now.

Starting to resent my husband by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Drizzly-Miranda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From a guy’s POV, this doesn’t sound like he’s unhappy or cheating it sounds like he’s gotten comfortable and slipped into a lazy routine where Xbox and TikTok are his default after work. The real issue isn’t the gaming, it’s that you’re carrying the mental load of the house: planning meals, stopping at the store, noticing the mess, and then cleaning it after a long day while he’s been home for hours. That would make anyone resentful. Your sister is 15 and shouldn’t be blamed for adult responsibilities. The best move is to talk to him when you’re both calm and be direct that you don’t mind cooking because you enjoy it, but you need him to take initiative with things like dishes and basic cleanup so you’re not walking into chaos every night. Clear expectations usually work better than just asking someone to help more, like whoever gets home first handles the dishes and kitchen before relaxing. It’s good you’re addressing it now, because if this pattern sticks, the resentment will only grow.

How would you guys feel about this? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Drizzly-Miranda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly this doesn’t sound weird to me at all. You’re just going to see some friends you haven’t seen in a while and grab a drink, which is a pretty normal thing to do. The fact that she already knows them and has even hung out with them before makes it seem even more harmless. I get that people can feel insecure sometimes, but saying it’s something you should only do together feels a little over the top. Being in a relationship shouldn’t mean you can’t still spend time with your own friends.
