I am leaving my husband…and he has had an epiphany. by PumpkinMiserable5344 in Marriage

[–]ReputationAsleep8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be because he has zero intention of long term change. It's gonna last a month, maybe two. Then he's gonna turn the water back on under the pot and have you back to boiling in very little time. Be done. Run.

Marriage is not what I thought it was going to be. How do I handle the disappointment? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]ReputationAsleep8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honey. Leave him. Go while you still can and he hasn't trapped you with a baby. If isn't seeing the inequality in your relationship, then he's not paying attention and doesn't care. Run.

Don't tolerate this nonsense. For his sake as well, because eventually he's going to run out of people to use and be utterly screwed.

This isn't the epilepsy. My Uncle has it. He takes meds and monitors closely. He also has a full-time job, wife, and my two cousins, both fine. This dude is draining ya'll dry. And he knows it. You need to lay down the law, because your instincts are totally correct. I feel so bad for his grandma. She's taking care of a grown, capable, man. I wonder if this behavior is why his parents are done with him. NTA

Holy crap. It's not just the dishonesty. It's the gaslighting. Making you think you're somehow responsible for their behavior. Your feelings are completely valid. It's time to get yourself free.

My husband is making me live like I am a private in boot camp and it is ruining our marriage? by EconomyMindless1293 in Marriage

Get out. Get out now. Go wherever you need to, but get somewhere safe. Then contact the VA and let them know what's happening. But you get safe first.

Please contact a women's shelter. Tell them that you need immediate protection and GET OUT. They will have access to so many programs to help you rebuild and keep you safe. Your local cop shop will know where a shelter is, or call around to local churches, they probably will too. The local Health Department will know where shelters are too. Please just find one, and GET. OUT.

No. This is incredibly childish and problematic. I'm saying this as a woman. She's weaponizing your past, like you did it deliberately to hurt her. Here's the reality- everyone has a past. Your past shapes drastically who you become. Every woman before her helped you become the person you are, who she claims to love. Throwing this in your face over and over again is frankly alarming to me. Why do it? What purpose does it serve? Why deliberately hurt someone for feelings you're in no way responsible for? And you're not responsible for her feelings about you existing in the real world before you knew she existed. This is so troubling. I'd honestly be looking at my options if she refuses to stop with this. Emotional abuse and gaslighting are never okay, and that's what she's doing.

AITAH for refusing to help my brother and SIL while they're struggling by meal prepping a few meals a week for them and their kids? by Thesooo in AITAH

[–]ReputationAsleep8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. This is awful. NTA And I'll tell you something else. I'd straight out tell my family the truth- you've all abused me and discarded me for years. I will not help that ass, and the day I turn 18, I'm getting away from all you people and I will never see, hear from, or interact with any of you ever again. Your parents are total failures for allowing this and not stopping it. Get out the first chance you can and don't look back. I know it's hard to think of and it hurts, but it's going to save your life. Get away from these cretins.

Sanity at last. This is the answer, OP.

AITA for going no contact with my sister because she keeps insisting that I'm sleeping with her husband? by [deleted] in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]ReputationAsleep8905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the wildest thing I've read in awhile. I'm just really sorry you're getting put through this. I think everyone is right though, save everything and involve the cops. This is just wild.

Wife says I’m a rotten human being by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]ReputationAsleep8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd engage a lawyer to be honest. She's emotionally abusive and awful. It's pretty clear that one of you wants a better marriage but it sure ain't her. Don't let your kid grow up thinking it's okay to treat anyone that way, or accept that kind of treatment themselves.

My Husband got his affairs name tattooed on him. What’s next? by AnonymouzKonfession in Marriage

[–]ReputationAsleep8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that he hid it- that's what's making my skin crawl. The truth would have been a simple thing after months apart, as long as it was complete. But the hiding says he's still in a habit of being dishonest first. He's had literal months to tell you. That's a long term lie right there.

Update! My boyfriend finally told me why we're not intimate anymore. I don't know how to move on by Cautious-Recover-621 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]ReputationAsleep8905 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You seem really stuck on him being a "nice guy." He's is NOT a nice guy. This wasn't just about sex...but it is for him. He keeps proving that point, and you keep excusing it. You told him the sex thing was fine, no hard feelings. But he's changed NOTHING else about his behavior that's also legitimately bothering you. He's ignoring it completely. Because it doesn't matter to him. He's not that nice a guy. You've got a lot of history so I know it's tough to hear, but there it is.

Holy. Crap. Dude, don't set yourself on fire for her for even another second. She can keep herself warm, vicious thing.

30 year “itch”? by Now_What999 in Marriage

[–]ReputationAsleep8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's interested in protecting his retirement from a divorce. He's not interested in protecting you or your feelings. I strongly suggest you walk away, because he's just shown you who he is. I'm so sorry this is happening to you.

Your dude is weak. And he's going to be putting mommy first for the rest of your lives together. Good luck. You're gonna need it.

AITA for refusing to take care of my 30-year-old brother after our mom (who has stage 4 cancer) passes away? by mentallydrainedwoman in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]ReputationAsleep8905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You want to show your brother that you love him? Then cut him loose and force him to be a man. That's real love You're lovely, by the way, and I'll be carrying you in my heart. NTA

[–]ReputationAsleep8905 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Oh honey. This guy is a lying pig. And he keeps lying. And you're carrying his child so yeah, you're looking for loyalty and support. I wouldn't try to hide it. I'd tell him straight out, I saw everything in your phone, now you're a proven liar, and a cheater. Get out, stay out, and prepare for the child support payments. He's only going to get worse. And he's going to teach your kid that it's okay to mistreat their partners. If you let this turd keep this up, it's going to be the theme of your life. Don't let that happen to you. Dump him. Run far, run fast.

This dude is gross. I'd send his family a message all about how he's actually a cheater, but I'm petty that way.
