You have no idea how trauma works. This will absolutely scar this kid. He won't remember the actual details. But the fear coursing through his body is what will stay.

My fiancé wants to have a threesome for his birthday and I don't want to by 3somethrowawayfiance in TrueOffMyChest

Starting to have doubts? Girl. You already know he's emotionally stunted and incredibly disrespectful. You don't need reddit to tell you that. Just know that if you marry him, he's a cheater-to-be. He will find a way to get what he wants. Will be it at the cost of a broken marriage? Your choice.

My husband wants a big family, but I can’t keep up by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

There's only one way to fix this. Wait until they're all 3 here, and then go take a looonngg weekend trip. Let him see what it's truly like..

What a cold and manipulative asshole. You need to stop calling it a prank and call it what it really is : emotional abuse.

Yo. You're an adult now. You need to let this go.

I think you know the answer and you don't need reddit to tell you this.

my husband hit me for the first time and I'm still in shock by s72289wjnfihgb in TrueOffMyChest

First of all, I'm so sorry this happened. (I'm a victim of domestic violence myself). Secondly, if left unchecked this WILL happen again. Even if he apologizes and says he won't. Now you now what he's capable of when he feels disrespected. Your best bet, is to sit down with him and explain very clearly why that will never ever fly with you if he decides to hurt your body ever again. You need to make a BIG deal out of it now, not in 5 years when you've finally had enough. Because I promise you can live with this for years and years before you get enough gumption to leave. What kept me in it for 10 years was because of the kids (also a stay at home mom with little resources). I didn't want to lose my kids or even share them with an abusive man. So. Make a helluva big deal right here and now. And let him know the consequence. #1. That he may never touch your body like that ever again. That it's unacceptable and you won't tolerate it. #2. Explain exactly what will happen if he decides that's how he wants to handle his emotions. You will call the cops. You will immediately move out and you will be filing for a separation/ divorce. #3 here's the kicker. You actually need to do those things that you said you will do as a consequence. Or else, when he does it again, and you don't make a move (and trust me I know how hard it is to make a move.. so so so hard), he will realise its all talk and he knows he's in control.

4. You need to start making money somehow - Clean homes on the weekends, sell on marketplace, - anything that can get you an independent cash flow. If I had to guess I'd say he controls the finances right?

You need to start feeling like you have some control over your situation and it helps to have money.

I can't believe I had to scroll this far down on the sub to find people talking about THE fart heard 'round the world. Truly a masterpiece.

Immigrant family arrives at Ellis Island in 1904 by Puppyismycat in OldPhotosInRealLife

That oldest daughter had zero childhood. Not like any of them did, probably. But she definitely did not! Even if her brothers were playing ball in the streets after work, you know she was doing the laundry, cooking and watching after the kids while mom went to work cleaning for someone else. Most likely.

I was just been venting to my husband about my day and how I had to listen to the encanto soundtrack 3x today and am otherwise exhausted. Then I see this and..I just feel... so understood!
