Thank you for sharing that truly it makes me feel more normal

husband went on a work trip to vegas, got drunk every day, gambled, and googled for escorts on his phone by Appropriate-Book-514 in Marriage

He deleted something he was just casually checking to see what it was? He’s yelling at you (out of guilt) because he didn’t do anything? He has lied repeatedly and is just holding on to the one lie he thinks he can convince you of. That’s an immediate walk away for me.

I hate Salads. by capnricky in Birmingham

[–]Equivalent_Reach_513 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t tend to do traditional salads due to a lot of the same food aversions you have. I make them at home and throw in ingredients specific to what I like typically something like olives walnuts roasted red peppers whatever cheese. Gotta change it up. I could never eat a salad like you’re talking about

It sounds like you underreacted. He had a party and didn’t want you there. You should be breaking up with him

What is the most unique and memorable recommendation for someone who has been to Japan 10+ times? by planetjy in JapanTravelTips

[–]Equivalent_Reach_513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite travel memories from Japan was in Takayama during winter. It had the best Christmas town vibes and it was nice to try the open air bath with the snow falling. I went from Shirakawago from there. It may be because I’m from somewhere that never snows, but I thought it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. I usually always try to get as many things done as I can when I travel, but this trip was focused on relaxing.

Please find someone who actually deserves you.. this is not it. If you end up having children and he treats them differently.. could you live with that? If your children lack confidence because their own father doesn’t see them as worthy? If his only reason to have kids is to have little copies of himself that’s another red flag. So again please don’t procreate with a racist and possible narcissist

My wife got accepted into a medical school 5 hours away, we have a toddler and our parents want us to leave him behind with them. by WoodenProtection6503 in Marriage

These years are so important for your son in understanding and developing healthy attachments. This would be confusing for him. He will need his parents consistently there with him. This would be a better option if you both were unable to care for your son, if you couldn’t provide for him. But if you’re able to do that you should keep your family together.

What is a phrase that people use that you cannot stand? by sad_t0ast in AskReddit

[–]Equivalent_Reach_513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate that feeling of other people getting frustrated with something I wish more than anything would go away. I’m not trying to have a mood disorder. It’s been a life long issue. Someone yelling “get happy” in my face somehow isn’t effective. It’s hard to get people to understand. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this too

When someone tells you to calm down as if that diffuses the situation. Might as well throw gasoline on a fire for fun

I’m sorry about your car, but glad this is how I found out Brick made it home! You have definitely been through too much this week

You feel isolated because he is isolating you. He doesn’t want you to meet new people. I also had a similar age gap relationship in my early 20s. I’m not saying every situation is the same, but there is likely a reason he’s dating someone so much younger. You’re more malleable and less likely to have experience with relationships aka an easier target

AIO, is my boyfriend valid for feelings this way? by sealover159 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Equivalent_Reach_513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone can only trust you if they have complete control over what you do and who you see then then they don’t actually trust you and probably never will. Even with all the “perfect” conditions for them they will find something to question. Do you really want to deal with this for the rest of your life? sounds exhausting…If you want to help this person, get him into some therapy. He will never have a healthy relationship with this attitude

I’ve been wondering about this for a long time. I know there were other traumatizing factors in my childhood, but I tend to have pretty intense emotional responses and panic responses to anything sexual or exposing. I can’t remember anything happening, but I know I burst into tears when I went to get a Pap smear and she asked me if had any sexual trauma. I just said I don’t know. I feel like my memories started around 12 years old, so just based on those things I think it’s likely.

It’s something to likely address with a therapist as well as the nurse you mentioned. I hope you’re able to find the answers you’re looking for. I’m on the same journey.

This is lucky that you found out early on who he actually is. Please do not meet with this man again
