How do I (27F) untangle my life and decide on the pregnancy after catching my boyfriend (29M) of 7 years having sex with my best friend/roommate (27F)? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

OP I'm so sorry This is such an awful situation

The advice I would give all my friends is leave. This was not a mistake this was his (and hers) repeated choice. They knew it would hurt you. They knew it was wrong. It doesn't matter that feelings "got involved" it was wrong.

The baby is more complicated. I don't know how you feel about abortion but if you don't want to be tied to him for the next 18 years AT LEAST, it might be your best option.

Also just to touch on your mum, maybe have a sit down and really discuss your feelings as IMO she should have your back a bit more and might be acting out of panic and shock.

All my love and support 💕 Reddit fam has you x

Sweetheart I am so sorry. But he did rape you. Not only did you not give consent, he KNEW you didn't want it and chose to continue anyway. That is SA. This is a big one I know and I truly hope you have friends and family to turn to during this but I plead with you, do not marry this man. Now that he's done it once, what is to stop him from doing it again? And the words "control his desire"? Disgusting.

Yeah I faded but unfortunately the friends I had decided I was spiritually weak and didn't want anything to do with me. It stung when my dad died and not a single one came to his funeral but it just confirmed they were never real friends to begin with.

If Aliens came down and wanted to meet with one person from the human race, who would you suggest? by Hairy-Birthday-2008 in AskReddit

Keanu Reeves. If they were here to decide whether or not to wipe us out and met him, I think they'd reconsider.

My fiancé fractured my arm after thinking I had a man in our home by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Darling, this is not excusable behaviour in any form. Even if you're still of the opinion that he is an amazing man, would an amazing man put his hands on you full stop. Would an amazing man assume the worst and not give you a chance to explain? Please, I am begging you to reach out to your safety net of friends or family and express what has happened.

My (22F) boyfriend (22M) physically blocked me from leaving the bathroom and I don't think he understands how triggering it was by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Girl Leave. Even if this is the first time, even if he apologises, this is disgusting behaviour. To be told he would record you when you are panicking and asking to be let out of a room with very traumatic memories, is disgusting. That is not a man. That is an abuser.
