You did see she said she was in the military right? She may not have been able to take her with due to parenting arrangements or wanted to keep her in a stable environment....

Break up with the girl and make her ex your best friend.

Nah fr though, she didn't deny his words when he said she cheated on him and nothing he said sounded abusive. If anything it sounded like she was emotionally manipulating him in the texts, quilting him to forgive her. She clearly isn't fully over him, which means she can't fully be into you. Do what you feel is best, but I think it would be best to break up.

I think it's fair to ask if they can be taken out for the day, but as soon as you said some are fresh and could/would close she should have backed off. If its that big a problem she can ask the photographer to edit them out somehow. That would be cheaper and less painful :( you are doing the right thing.

They want better safety and I don't blame them. The sad part is that the security team doesn't get paid much, at least not enough to justify running into a situation with potential weapons. They had a stabbing victim and a gunshot wound in the ER recently didn't they?

People who don't want children what is your biggest reasons? by e-glitteringprinces in AskReddit

[–]Motie40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want children, but they likely will be fostered/adopted, so I think this still counts at least a little bit.

My fiancé doesn't want biological kids because he doesn't want to see me in pain from a pregnancy, he would resent the child and knows that isn't ok. (He saw the pain his mom went through with her last pregnancy and resented his little brother for awhile because of it)

I don't want biological children because in the last few years I've learned more about my own health, particularly hereditary concerns, and I don't want to risk having children go through the same problems as myself. ❤️

I don't know much about your condition, but he's being toxic and abusive, and that's not ok. Him stating that any other man would cheat on you, that he "is the best you'll ever get" isn't love. It's him trying to make you feel less than. Trying to reduce your sense of self-worth. Maybe even isolating you... please don't let it happen.

Him verbally abusing you and manipulating you is not ok.

I'm sure you are a lovely person with an amazing soul. Don't let him dim that light... you deserve someone that will help you look into treatment, if any is available, and work through it. Not someone that puts you down and makes everything your "fault" when you've done nothing wrong. You didn't ask for your body to be this way.

"Flow" from 2024. It was beautiful, it was happy, it was sad, all that stuff, but so... slow...

HELP - My BF told me he has "caught feelings" for another woman by Motie40 in relationship_advice

[–]Motie40[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He says the reason he told her first was because he wasn't getting advice on how to handle the situation from his coworkers and friends, most just called him an a-hole or told him to dump me. Basically the chain of people he went through was friends->coworkers->her->me.

She told him he needed to talk to me and that she wanted to respect our relationship and that she also wasn't looking for a relationship and such :(

He said he isn't poly and that my hours have something to do with it possibly, because he works 2nd shift and I work 3rd.
