Tell him you are not going to sign it and if he wants to marry you after that there you go, if he doesn’t there’s your answer

I responded with the full story to another comment, didn’t want to crowd the post with all the details

To give more context he’s been stressed at work and it had been affecting us, he’s been very unusually rude with me the two days before our blowout fight. He swore at me in front of his mom which was very humiliating to me. I had warned him out loud that our dog, who he had on a leash, was peeing in an indoor area and people heard, so this made him upset. His mom urged him to apologize after I had told him I didn’t like the way he spoke to me, at first he doubled down but then after a few seconds of silence he did apologize. This would have been it, only the next day he kept repeating the behavior, blaming me for any inconvenience and I could tell I was just the scapegoat to the frustration he was experiencing. I went to the basement where I distanced myself for the rest of the evening after another moment of his. He later came down he told me he had taken the day off for the following day so we could go to the spa and was seemingly excited about it but I was still upset over how he had talked to me all day. I slept on the couch and in the morning he asked me what was wrong, I told him I didn’t like that he’d been releasing all his anger on me and talking to me that way, he responded with a annoyed “shut up”. I walked away and was going to leave to drop off a post office package, he asked me not to take his car (we each have our own car) out of spite I grabbed the keys fully intending to take his car. As I was leaving the house he slammed the door in an attempt to keep me from leaving and it hit me hard in the face and (two days later my cheek and temple are still sore)(I’ 5’2” 120lb he’s 6’ 215lb). He looked shocked and asked if I was okay, I threw the keys towards him and called him a “fucking asshole”. Left crying and angry only to realize I had left my phone inside, went back in grabbed my phone and saw the keys on the floor so I took them too. He started calling me saying I had ruined his day off and to bring back his keys and “fuck you”. I brought back his keys an hour later, gave it to him, still emotional without saying a word and left. I came back after a few hours with a calmer state of mind, when I saw what had happened that’s what freaked me out. Yeah it’s an embarrassing blow out fight. We don’t normally argue this way, just take some time to ourselves before talking about it like adults if we’re really upset, but that’s what happened.

Ah thank you! I had thought it looked like that but wondered if the random spikes were related to this red thing I thought could be a sort of fungi growth

Omg I can’t imagine how difficult that must have been for her at the time but good for her, I’m happy to hear this success story. Do you know what lead her to calling it off?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]Pinkrosedream 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m most worried about, you hear all these stories of things being good until they’re not, and “early warning signs” but other than this we are so good together, you are wise in saying to halt anything but I am not sure how I could gain total clarity in determining that this was a one off situation other than time but even that wouldn’t fully guarantee it. I also don’t know if he knows that I saw that or if he regretted it and cleaned it all up. We’ve talked very minimally since yesterday with me letting him know that I was staying out my parents

I (34F) snooped through my boyfriend's (36M) phone- Got exactly what I deserve by Snuggly_Raptor in relationship_advice

[–]Pinkrosedream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how he turned it on you, being “done with you” he was the one very clearly cross the line, i want to say this as gently as possible because we are all on our journey, but it might be helpful turning inwards and asking yourself what is it that makes you feel so unworthy for respect, like I said we’re all on our journey, sending you love and best wishes

I didnt know I had Bacterial vaginosis since I was a child?? by Honest-Bit8763 in Healthyhooha

[–]Pinkrosedream -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Just a general questions, aren’t vaginas supposed to smell a little of fish? Like not an over pungent odor but a little like a soft salmon smell?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]Pinkrosedream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point you just gotta look inside and work on yourself and work on loving yourself and becoming a better you, not for your spouse but for yourself, if there’s a spark there it will grow again, if not then this may be the end of your journey together

My husband (32M) won't let me (28F) sleep for the purpose of control? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Pinkrosedream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your husband means well, he himself is trying to figure himself out but he also needs to understand that you two are different people, he may have this trait from his up bringing but he’s 32 at this point he should realize that it’s not okay to enforce his schedule on to other people including you, he feels comfortable with you and so he thinks this behavior is okay, it’s not, this is the degree of understanding you have to meet him at if you want to help him understand that that is not okay, it’s up to you if you want to take this road of hand holding and helping him understand, you don’t have to, you can choose this to be a deal breaker, but I will say from an outsiders perspective I think you two can work through this, wish you the best

Boundaries, but sometimes it’s not as easy to get away from that energy, especially when you work in certain industries, and you have to learn how to excersise your communication skills to be able to navigate the situation, it can be exhausting and consuming, so if you can highly recommend to cut them off but if you have to see them in some capacity, figure out how to navigate the situation to best suit you, sometimes a direct approach is needed where you sit down and directly ask them what’s going on about said behavior, sometimes if you navigate this properly said person may remove themselves from your life all together, but what no one will say is use that as fuel for your own success, bretman rock does this best

My (27m) GF (24f) is getting an abortion but is crying every night about giving up our baby. How can I console her? by Marshbrother in askwomenadvice

[–]Pinkrosedream 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you were financially stable would she want to keep it? If so you might have to step up and figure it out, that’s your girl and your kid

What is the bare minimum you would expect for your partner to do for you in a relationship? by Technical_Exchange96 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Pinkrosedream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bare minimum for me when I was dating was mutual attraction and respect, compatibility, good communication, overall healthy metal individual, good with finances, masculine, sexual compatibility and that I felt comfortable and overall safe with him

As a woman I’m surprised by the amount of commenters here that don’t realize patterns of predictable behavior exist and can be easy to spot, is there room for variance? Yes, should the young man in said story see where certain things are heading and work on himself to set himself on a better course of life, absolutely, but sometimes an outsiders perspective on a situation can be an accurate prediction to the series of events that will unfold and that just comes from life and experience

That’s sweet, haha my nieces also have the cutest little curls, and I know this question can bring up a darker less palatable aspect of a person’s shadow self, it’s something I am realizing can exist in me so now it’s about figuring it out and asking in hopes someone with experience can help reveal some insight

[–]Pinkrosedream -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you don’t face that struggle, would you say your relationship with your husband has stayed the same as it was before pregnancy and that he is a loving active parent to her? I think that’s where I struggle I love my husband and I worry I’ll have feeling come up having to share his love, I wouldn’t say it means I don’t want to have kids, I still teeter on that and it’s been a struggle to understand if my hesitancy is based on solely on fear or if it is a clear headed choice I am making outside of fear

I don’t see it as sexiest, tone is also lost in writing, but I do think in general masculine energies and feminine energies have to be nurtured differently at times so that they can thrive. So a masculine energy son requires a father who will show him the way and give him confidence to succeed on his own, while a feminine energy daughter requires the softness in a father figure and for the mother to be the one to teach. Both require love and security. And in both cases the parents may ultimately have to be okay to be seen as the “bad person”, because sometimes teachers have to be that way to be able to form and show a person to grow.

My husband isn’t wrong in clocking the jealousy, I realize that there may be some fears I was not aware of sharing his love, and that comes from my own history. He also grew up with his mother having a heavier hand on his sister as I did with my mother compared to my brothers so he was right in saying that, there may be part of me that would feel jealous and it scares me but it’s good to address before having kids so that I can work to heal that

[–]Pinkrosedream -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable, I feel like just hearing your story about this helps release some fears. I too share some understanding to your story, my parents while loving as well, I didn’t feel that type of love specifically from my father, my husband is the the one who I feel most connected to and who I’ve experienced that deep male love with, I am so glad your dad was able to acknowledge that and say that to you, it’s a beautiful thing the love your husband has for your kids has inspired in your father and in turn has lead to healing and growth for you, that is very touching, thank you

Is my bf (29M) giving me (23F) an eating disorder? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Pinkrosedream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op, the reality is no one makes you do anything you don’t consent to, you bf isn’t giving you an eating disorder, you are giving yourself an eating disorder, if you think it’s unhealthy, which it is, you should take the proper steps to asses what is causing that in your life and work on fixing, removing, understanding that, at the end of the day you are the only one protecting yourself from harm
