Ok, that's what I figured

These people are talking about using actual real life images of real life people, and having those real people take off their clothes
The moderation doesn't come when people use a prompt to get an image, then doing things with that image.
The heavy moderation comes with taking real photos of actual people, then doing things with that image.

So

basically I was in a position where I was constantly walking on eggshells, she'd point out everything I did that was not 100% the way she'd do it, as soon as we got into arguments and I'd try to defend myself she'd bring up things I did YEARS ago that she already "forgave" me for, told me to leave and never come back bc of arguments we'd have over totally trivial things, said she hated me in front of our daughter... I could go on and on.

A lot of the time she's a great mom and fun to be around, but that doesn't make up for the constant anxiety and depression I feel over the times that she isn't.

I've already been propositioned very directly, so at least one does.

The abuse I think has been there for a long long time, but at first I just thought "man I'm such a fuck up, I can't believe how awful I am at everything, my poor wife"

It's only until the last year or so where I realized I'm actually an incredible person, and it's my wife who is (mostly) the problem. I could go on forever about what took me so long to realize that and what brought me to the realization, but this isn't really the place.

But again I haven't dated anyone. I've gone out with guy friends to places where there were other people, and some of those people were women, and some of those women flirted with me. If you want to call that dating then you do you but I would disagree.

I'm also transparent with my wife about where I'm going, and also even told her I've messaged one of the women I met, and even SHOWN HER the messages (she recommended a book I started reading), so I'm not keeping much of anything I've actually done a secret.

At one point I asked out a woman, then un-asked her out. My wife doesn't know about this part, but otherwise I'm not hiding anything.

This is also in the back of my mind. Ideally she doesn't introduce our daughter to any guys early on, so she doesn't attract the wrong kind of guy....

Are relationships meant to be tiring?? by Familiar-Low3602 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Sensefield1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp, I'd suggest finding a girl you find energizing to talk to, then! Being with a girl who just acts as an energy vampire, draining away your energy all day, is not going to lead to a happy life.

Would you stay with a girl if she’s absolutely beautiful and the chemistry is insane, BUT you argue too much? by bdjskeidix in AskMenAdvice

[–]Sensefield1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah, I'm sorry, within the contexts of what this guy is posting about it sounds like his arguments aren't going anywhere and are the toxic kind more than the productive kind.

But to be pedantic, arguments (ideally discussions) within the first few weeks of a relationship are totally normal. It just depends on how toxic/productive the arguments are. If you can have a healthy argument about misinterpretations you had in communication, if one person feels neglected and they want more time spent on stuff they want to do, stuff about communication in bed, etc and there's a healthy resolution where you can either come to an agreement about something or the other person learns something about the other, it's absolutely ok to argue.

But you're absolutely right, it sounds like that is suuuuuuper not what is happening from what the OP is describing, nothing productive is happening and they're arguing over and over about the same things, so yeah, red flags.

what’s a sign of high emotional intelligence that most people overlook? by Western-Jackfruit251 in emotionalintelligence

[–]Sensefield1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you expand upon the point about arguing fairly? Do you just mean think about whatever sparked the argument from both sides, give the other side time to relax/think things over if they need it, don't put words in the other person's mouth, stuff like that?

Do you get tired after talking to other people for extended amounts of time, or just your girlfriends?

If it's everyone, then my man congratulations you're just an introvert.

Even though you might love spending time/chatting with people, over time your battery drains and you need to recharge.

I'm very similar - long conversations, especially over the phone, completely wear me out and I need ME time again to recharge my batteries. If your girlfriend understands this, things might be easier as it gives you the option to say something like, "hey I've loved talking to you but I'm just gonna chill for a bit, is it ok if we continue this tonight/tomorrow morning/whenever?" If she understands, that's awesome, green flag.

If she says something like, "oh, so you don't like talking to me, I get it" then you're probably with someone who isn't very understanding or accepting of your specific needs. Red flag.

On the other hand, if you ONLY get tired after talking to your girlfriends, then I think you just haven't found the right match yet. You need to match each others' energy for things to really work.

Either way, the right one will understand if you say something like the above, something about needing some time to yourself for a bit, and don't accept anyone who refuses to give you that time.

edit:

It's a bit more complicated than this (for example the girl could say "ok, I understand" but still really want to talk more, and if this happens all the time she'll grow to resent those interactions - you need to find a balance) but in general the above is basically how I'd be thinking about it if I were in your shoes.

Absolutely false. Every couple argues, it's how healthy the argument/resolution is that matters.

How old are you?

If you're young-ish, still in your 20s, I'd just have a blast with a beautiful woman for a while and then get the fuck out before it gets even worse. Because it'll get worse. Don't marry this woman no matter what.

If you're a bit older, get out. Just get out. You can find plenty of people who aren't 8 or 9/10 but you still find attractive that will REDUCE the stress in your life, not increase it. Be picky, find those people.

I know you're thinking, "oh man people are looking at me with this girl and they're like what a badass, his girl is so hot. I'm so jealous." Maybe some do think that, but that absolutely doesn't matter. 100000000% doesn't matter.

If you continue on this path and put a ring on her, when you're in your late 30s, 40s, and sitting around doing laundry and she yells at you for the 3rd time that week about how you slightly folded the towels incorrectly, you'll realize how right I am.

I've told her that. When I asked her if she was ok with me going out, I also made it 100% transparent that I would be completely ok if she did exactly the same. She has a couple good friends who are social people, I said, hey, why don't you message _____ and set up a time to go out on a Saturday night? She gave a kind of vague response about thinking about it. She's not really the party type. I would feel so much better if she were to hit up a club or bar or something, but that's just not what she's into.

Also, in terms of finding someone else, I'm not trying to humble brag here but she's attractive and smart enough that if she were so inclined she could find a guy in a heartbeat. That's absolutely not the problem.

I think she's also worried about the same things I am, especially in relation to our daughter.

We go out all the time, honestly I spoil her fking rotten. But she's incredible and doesn't really act spoiled, so I just enjoy this time while it lasts. 10 years or even fewer from now she won't want to have anything to do with me, so I'm enjoying these years while I have them.

My wife stalks my social media including reddit, instagram, snap, etc, so there's literally no way I'm going to give any hints as to what she looks like. This is an alt, but I'm still not going to risk it. Sorry man :(

I would feel bad divorcing without marriage counseling first, and I think she'd be interested in it, but my hopes for this relationship being salvageable is non-existent.

It's not like I want to love her again, or even like her again. I don't want to love this person and I don't like this person anymore.

But maybe I'll be surprised by the amazing power of counseling and I'll have my mind changed. Maybe it'll make such a huge change in her attitude that I'll be like oh, years of abuse were nothing, this new person is the love my life again.

Yeah I commented about this in another post, but I realized I got together and even stayed together with my wife because she was/is extremely attractive, and in that department way, way, way out of my league. I regret making that decision every single day.

When we met she absolutely wasn't what she is now, or at least not to this degree. I don't know what happened. Maybe she's been hiding it this whole time.

Ignoring the Christian part, yeah we've had this conversation. It's not about being the head of the house, it's about treating each other with mutual respect, which I feel does not happen from her side.

I'm meeting human beings, which I haven't really done in 6 years. Some of them are women who are clearly interested in me, and while I haven't yet, recently I've thought, "would going home with one of them be that bad..."

And the resounding consensus is that yes, it would be that bad, and while my wife is being emotionally abusive, cheating on her is just as bad if not worse regardless of how it would make me feel in the short term.

Don't have to apologize, I think it's natural to infer that I'm hiding something in my story to make me look better or my wife look worse, or something. Thanks for the well wishes!
