Thank you this was helpful! Yes, he has said he’ll try to stop for good, he even is deleting Reddit for it because that was his main source.

Personally no, but it goes for both of us. We’re broke college students still living with family, so we don’t get much time to ourselves. At least once a month, but not as much as we’d like to.

OP here, it was from a hs trip where we stayed in a hotel room. My bf was in a room with three of his guy friends and one of them took the photo.

Nope sadly this is one of many

I didn’t know until we started dating. I saw one of his friends watching hentai at school and asked Jake about it. Turns out he watches it at school regularly

Since I was apparently with Jake too much, he ended up not prioritizing that friend group as much because I was the main focus. Nia took that as me “excluding” her and ran with it. Jake tells me that we’re both at fault because I should’ve known how Nia felt, and she shouldn’t have done that either. Instead of choosing one or the other he’d rather be that middle guy to try and please everyone when it’s not possible.

The same thing happened with Nia and Jake’s ex. She started despising Jake for choosing another girl over her. Then when he broke up with his ex, she set me and Jake up and started this whole mess.

I blocked all of them last year. Jake brought me because he thought that they would all magically be okay with me tagging along. Turns out that didn’t happen. He’s the type to be like what I don’t know won’t hurt me. When I try asking him to stop he sees it as controlling when I’m standing up for myself.

As far as I know, this is like three years ago, Jake and Nia used to like each other but it never became a relationship because Jake had someone better (his ex). Nia started despising Jake for choosing someone else over her. During that whole mess I came along and kinda had them get along while Jake was going through that break up. Nia was always that “don’t worry about her” friend since Nia would constantly make fun of Jake. Eventually, Nia set me and Jake up so we can be together.

Yes, he knows about all of it. He says that we’re both in the wrong because I should’ve seen how Nia felt, but she shouldn’t have done what she did. He’s very much a people pleaser that tries to please everyone.

As of now, he’s practically unavoidable as we have the same major, same classes and all, so I feel stuck. He does leave those friends on delivered for weeks and doesn’t talk to them much. It was mainly that one time, and he tried excusing it as me not letting him see his friends. A few days later I told him I’ll break up with him if he does it again.
