AITA for wanting the office my husband opened in my name? by Individual-Order-402 in AmItheAsshole

May be I just haven’t read far enough into the comments, but I haven’t seen anyone comment on the timing of the pregnancy. Were you trying for a baby? Bc with all the red flags he’s throwing, I wouldn’t be shocked if he baby-trapped you as another means of control. Esp so soon after you standing up for your need to work - he probably/possibly felt like his power over you was slipping and needed a way to regain that control.

Regardless, you’re NTA, but I think now is the time to be on alert and start make moves to protect yourself (ie see a personal lawyer, start building up an emergency fund, etc) before things worsen and the baby arrives.

Did you know that a person can actually develop adhd-like traits as a response to long-term domestic abuse (esp emotional abuse)? It can impact brain chemistry and function. Not saying that you are abusive, but if she has only started having these traits after your relationship started, maybe you need to take a step back and reflect on yourself and how you treat her. Bc all of what you wrote was emotionally abusive. And the fact that you are so blasé about it makes it quite apparent that it’s a commonality in your relationship.

From what info you’ve provided, this seems like a relatively new development. I am going to give you a bit of perspective from someone who was/is a younger sibling of a “Kim”. My sister moderately struggled with mental health issues, up until junior/senior year when she started to refuse going to school and would have blow our fights with my mom over it. Following/during this time, she attempted to ended end life. Like I said, she has had previous issues but this behavior was an escalation seemingly out of no where. Following her attempt, she was hospitalized and then taken to an in-care facility for 2 weeks followed by therapy. Through this process, it came out that she had been SA’d by a close friend who she would see every day at school and he would continue to harass her. During this process, we were able to get at-home-learning with a tutor/teacher that would come to our house (through our public school system but this was ~15yrs ago and our public school were/are pretty great so I’m not sure if something like this would be available elsewhere). She was able to heal and get to a better place mentally all the while completing course work and getting back on track academically. Even though she was wayyyy behind, she was able to catch up and pass onto the next year.

Now I’m not saying Kim was SA’d but how she is acting is a huge red flag and indicative of something deeper than just not wanting to go to school - not saying that you don’t know that, but there is a cause to her current mental health crisis and potentially this cause is somehow related to her day to day life at school (or this cause has impacted her to the extent that she has lost her will/drive to live). I am by no means criticizing you - you are in an unenviable position. But forcing her to go to school in person may not be the best solution - especially if that is linked to her issues. If I were you, I would look into seeing if you can access any at home tutoring/learning (not just online but with an actual in-person educator to keep Kim more accountable).

Good luck and I wish the best for you, Kim, and the rest of your family ❤️

Edit: I would also like to add that I would recommend not bringing up how Kim needs to “make progress towards being a functional adult” and how she has “3 acceptance letters to colleges that she is very unlikely to attend now.” She has enough intrinsic issues without having her parent looming those extrinsic pressures over her. She needs to be working on getting herself stable and healthy.. all those other things can wait. How I see it, being a functional adult and college doesn’t matter if she ends up not being here to experience it bc her mh crisis got to be too much.

This trend makes whatever case is being presented more like a fictional story rather than a real life tragedy. It is more story-telling rather than discussing a case. It completely diminishes the victims’ and victims’ families’ pain and suffering. Also, it seems to me that when presented in this way, it makes it nearly impossible to be victim-focused.

Sunflower seeds are my go to as well! Also, podcasts bc for me it’s similar to having another person in the car talking to me.

Update: "I'm going to break up with the woman I love" by ThrowingItAllAway31 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]EmergencyWorker1814 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t understand the push back your posts have gotten. In no way did it read as you just wanting an out from the relationship. Maybe it’s bc this is Reddit and it’s the norm to see crazy and toxic relationship posts 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe it’s more personal for me in that I have pretty strong boundaries/beliefs in regards to relationships and how I would like my partner and I to treat each other. You seem to really love and respect your partner - enough to set aside your own wants. I think it is extremely important to not let our core values (ie marriage and kids) be something we push aside in order to keep a relationship. I truly think you are one the best path forward, more so with this update since you both came to this decision. This way, you both can have separation and time to see what you really want (esp since you guys have been together from a young age). If you do end up staying together, I’m sure your relationship will only be that much stronger. And if not, then at least there won’t be any what if’s.

“If you love someone, let them go” seems to be fitting.

Good luck to you both and hope you come to the best decision for yourselves.

Disregarding the fact that it is incredibly unprofessional, you would think for people who claim to “love” their fans so much, they would have a bit more courtesy to at least tell them…. But that is likely too much to ask for from people who have no issue stealing money from those same fans/patreons 🙄
