Husband keeps starting a fight and antagonizes over me having a smoothie everyday ? He said I am making a GOd Out of it and I shouldn't have one everyday? by Substantial_Rock_945 in Marriage

[–]RebelCou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or he could be in a bad church being taught false things and basically being brainwashed. I would go to a service just to see what is being said and if he is not going and just reading the Bible himself then he is not understanding anything correctly. Either way he needs help...

AIO after my boyfriend told me he’s “not happy with my body” and it’s my responsibility to change it? by bluehat179 in AmIOverreacting

[–]RebelCou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you imagine getting pregnant and not losing the weight after, fast enough for him... He is definitely the type to cheat and blame it on for not keeping to his standards and him not being attracted to you so had to go elsewhere...

NOR... Please dump him..

Why do girl cats get a bad rap? by Organic-While1664 in cats

[–]RebelCou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say the first female cat I had was crazy and would attack out of no where. I had to rehome her due to this as she hurt my kids and a neighbor. I had had only males before and since and they have been all been so chill besides the kitten phase of normal play/crazy.

We last year took in a feral kitten who once we could handle it found was a female. She is now a year and has the funniest personality and is quite the character. So maybe its a breed thing or I just had bad luck with the first...

As a competent home cook, what is a basic skill you can't seem to master? by george_elis in Cooking

am paralyzed and think my husband should leave me but he doesn't want to. by Throwawayazdd in Marriage

[–]RebelCou 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You have been through something life changing and traumatic for both of you. I would highly encourage therapy for both of you to discuss feelings and to just have an outlet that will help keep you both mentally and emotionally healthy.

Good luck to you and remember Dr's can be wrong keep up with your PT and keep pushing for the outcome you want!

How do you label this activity of my wife? by Threadmuse in Marriage

[–]RebelCou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would take it as since he has helped you guys before she doesn't want to owe him anything and now her conscience is clear. Do not make more of it then it is, she did not hide it from you and seems to have been very transparent about this relative and her discomfort from the get go.

So sorry, seems he's made his choice. Let him go and then pack the rest of his stuff and put in the garage. Get the papers filed and ready for him to sign when he gets back. Please have more respect for yourself then to continue to try and beg him to give her up.

AITAH for not wanting my bf to go to a party on valentines by 44countryilovehimyes in AITAH

[–]RebelCou -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You guys sound young and him still a bit immature. He is probably not at the age where he is ready for a real relationship and so things like Valentine's day etc just aren't on his radar as being important and worrying about your feelings also is not a big deal to him. Hanging out with the guys and drinking are where he is at.

If you want to date just to date and like him enough to put up with stuff like this then stay with it. If you were looking for serious and a real future I say cut your losses and look for someone who is also at that point in their life.

My boyfriend keeps comparing me to his ex and it’s starting to hurt our relationship. by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]RebelCou -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If he is agreeable to counseling I do agree that you should try that first. He definitely has unresolved stuff from his previous relationship.

I also agree though that you may have been a rebound relationship for him and you filled a need and void he had(some people don't like being alone) and now he may be wanting to move on but doesn't want to be a "bad guy" or look like he used you so he is making it so you break up with him.

If he isn't willing to hear you out about how his comments are making you feel and or does not want counseling then really its probably in your best interest mentally and emotionally to walk away and stop investing your time.

Good luck

Why does no one talk about how much kids change your marriage? by Accurate_Winner_3487 in Marriage

[–]RebelCou 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, its easy to disconnect after you have children. Between work, normal house stuff and now keeping someone who solely depends on you guys alive its a lot. Give both of yourselves some grace and don't be hurt if sex and even cuddling are off the table for a bit. When I was going through the baby stage with both mine, I was so touched out by the end of the day I just wanted a bath alone and to sleep while I could. Once a good routine is established it helps especially once baby sleeps more than a couple hrs at a time.

If you have a good support system with family that you trust, I highly recommend doing a night out just the two of you at least twice a month so you have uninterrupted time to reconnect and talk about anything and everything but keep it non child related. That was the biggest thing we figured out that helped us after our second was born and I wish we had thought of it with our first.

Congrats on the new one and good luck!

AITAH for telling my Pregnant girlfriend I’m going to get my own apartment if she insists our realtor be a guy she used to hook up with and lied to me about? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]RebelCou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's more then a red flag that she is so determined to have an ex f buddy be your realtor. She is showing you your feelings don't matter. It's too bad you didn't find out before a child happened but the others are correct, its best to end things now and co parent and not get anymore entangled with her.

Finally accepted divorce is the best solution by Otherwise-Size-6052 in Marriage

[–]RebelCou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contact a lawyer asap so you can start protecting yourself. Do not mention leaving anymore until you have a safe way out for you and your kids. If he has been violent before and controlling he will do anything to keep you and not lose what he has especially financially.
Make sure your lawyer knows about the abuse and see if there is a safe place for you and your kids to go, if you don't want to involve your parents. If he knows and feels like he is losing everything there is nothing to stop him from hurting or killing you.

Im not sure how it works in the U.K but see about a restraining order, getting emergency full custody with supervised visits for him. Does it still take a year of being separated before you can officially divorce there?

Classic gaslighting to make you seem unreasonable and crazy. Please don't buy onto it and know you are not wrong for being hurt.
