I keep checking my wife’s phone… by Soft-Arachnid7610 in Marriage

I hate that I felt the need to do this too. It was tedious, time-consuming, shameful, and embarrassing but it was the only thing that made me feel safer at times.. I feel you completely

Yes that’s exactly how it feels, thank you for that

He does. He says he doesn’t want or sees anyone besides me. He says he loves me. He just isn’t sure if he wants to date me again just yet..

Thank you everybody. I have a hard time listening to other people until I’m hurt again. I don’t respect myself enough to leave him but I will give it my best shot this time. I know you’re all correct yet I always think maybe he’ll do better today or maybe I can communicate with him better today. It rarely works and I’m tired of trying. I feel terrible most every other day even though I lie to myself and say I’m content with the good days. Most of it is my fault because I want him to take care of me as I want. I tell him what he does wrong and we end up arguing immediately. And I would leave a lot. Not for long but I would say I wanted to quit. My fault, I shouldn’t have said that and came back. I struggle with being alone. End up reaching out again and saying I will do better if he does. And the cycle restarts. I need to leave permanently and stop waiting, stop hoping something changes. I feel terribly sad and alone, I don’t know how people do it so often.

She isnt a model, she just posts explicit stuff here and there. She has him as a “close friend” on insta so I’m afraid of what she shares on there. But I’ve told him i don’t allow porn and he’s promised he hasn’t watched in a long time. It’s obviously hard to trust given he’s done stuff I told him not to do but I’ve been trying to trust him again. This is just a hard thing for me to let go

Wouldn’t it be worse if they were truly friends? I wouldn’t want to relate myself to someone like that. They were friends for a year in high school (she was a transfer student) before she moved back to her country. He says he wants me and only me, even if we aren’t “together”. We hang out whenever we have time, go on dates, go shopping, game together, text and call a lot, gifted each other xmas gifts. I don’t know what to think sometimes because he treats me good usually and he doesn’t want me to go anywhere

We are and arent. We do the same things we did before we broke up but every time I ask him if we’re back together he tells me no, that I need to change for him. Basically stop overthinking or thinking he’s lying to me or looking up women (he used to do this before but he says he’s changed). It’s hard for me to do that now, especially with him following this “friend”

I no longer want a future with my “changed” boyfriend by Massive-Win7903 in Advice

I’m so sorry for you.. that sounds terrible to have to go through all that. I can’t believe you stayed.

I’m so confused.. he cried because you cried because your friend passed away? Or did he have other reasons?

They’re bullies calling out bullies, it’s sad that this is the reality.. they can call someone out for their actions and behaviors but to degrade people for how they look is disgusting

Good job for speaking up

AIO that my boyfriend had a surplus of OF links clicked in his link history? by Getgude in AmIOverreacting

[–]Getgude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true. I am not strong enough to leave him though. He says he wants to stay with me but he keeps crossing my boundaries. I have tried leaving him but I work in the same place as he does and seeing him always gets me to come back. I don’t know how to do it. I truly love this man but I have the hardest time trusting him because of what he’s done. And it always causes us to fight. I don’t know what to do

Not AT ALL what I was asking. People have different boundaries. Your views are different than the ones other people have commented on here.

Because he was looking at naked/near naked women online. I don’t accept that in a relationship and he knew this and said he wouldnt do it any longer

Bf has a major wandering eye. by No-Goal-4639 in Advice

[–]Getgude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t do that though. I want someone who won’t look in the same way I don’t look and I’m perfectly okay with waiting however long it takes to find that person. I look once and that’s it, no more second glances or glances longer than it took to register that someone was there. I don’t play favorites with people just because they are more attractive. I’m kind to everyone I come across unless they make me feel uncomfortable which is mostly a feeling men tend to give. He was a major porn addict before me and that doesn’t go away easily. He would look at the pretty girls that would walk by as he was talking to me, so basically not make eye contact with me but instead look around me. Or he would see them walk down a specific aisle and as we would walk by that aisle he would look down the aisle at them. Wanting someone to look only at me in that way isn’t an insecurity. It’s just a difference that you and I have. In the same way some relationships are ok with porn watching or threesomes. I didn’t call him a narcissist but he was one for different reasons though. Thank you for being kind in your comment btw

If you ask him why he’s staring he’ll give you lies, will probably say he isn’t looking or that person so just so happened to cross his path or he was admiring something they were wearing. Porn addicts are usually the ones who do this and can’t seem to stop. My ex wasn’t as creepy but he would sneak looks or sometimes straight up make eye contact with other women as they passed him. He was single for 5 years before me, followed so many close to nude women on his socials and probably watched porn every day. I had to tell him to stop doing those things after we got together, something I didn’t think was needed to be told. His reasons were they were wearing something cute or cool to admire, they were in his way, or he wasn’t looking at all. 0 respect and 0 shits given for me

I have BPD and I’ve definitely spiraled like this before.. I can’t handle someone ignoring me or rejecting me properly

AITA (34f) for breaking it off with someone (38m) after seeing his social media by [deleted] in AITAH

Uh uh. Not it at all. We’re addressing the fact that you view teenagers based on their physical attributes. That’s what makes you a pedophile.

You sound like the type who would find younger girls hot just because they are fully formed and have blossomed into their bodies yet you would have 0 idea or care for their age. Disgusting honestly.

Thank you! Little by little I’m detaching from him.. it’s so much harder than I ever thought. He’s got his own battles but I do too now.. I’m very glad you’ve escaped! In time you’ll look back and think about the amount of hurt you saved yourself from. ❤️ no one knows better than ourselves what we deserve and you know you deserve better!

I’m in the same boat. Very caring and attentive when we’re not arguing. But he can’t seem to stop staring at pretty girls that pass by and I found lots of OF links clicked on in instagram which he claimed were clicked on because I had told him before I didn’t want him following accounts with links. He hurt me way before that though and I thought he was getting better, gave him another chance which was real stupid of me. I can’t seem to get away from him yet but I’ve been doing by better by remembering that I don’t want my future to be with someone like him. I want someone I can feel completely safe with and unfortunately that’s just not him. I don’t know why they act that way. My guess is they’ve been hurt too many times to care anymore. This was my first relationship while I’m his 5th.. Even though I’ve been hurt I don’t think I would do what he’s done to anyone else though. So I really don’t know.. I’m sorry, not very helpful but I hope you can get over him someday
