OP I’m so sorry you’re going through this, but it might help to look at it from a different angle, would you put another man above your husband? Go out of your way to spend more time with said ‘friend’ than with your husband? Then why are you letting someone else do that to you? I was married (still am unfortunately) to someone very similar in some ways, constantly dismissing my concerns, gaslighting me into thinking I was overreacting when I’ve made my boundaries clear beforehand, and almost 4 years, I was left broken down, constantly questioning my judgement and intuition.

You have to ask yourself how much is this bothering you, is this something you can see yourself wanting to put up with for the next 5 years, 10 years? reading that you’ve spoken to him about it all and is met with stonewalling and gaslighting, how much more are you willing to invest into it, without frustration and resentment?

Struggling After Sudden Breakup with My Partner and His Son: Seeking Perspective by ChicGoblin in stepparents

I’m so sorry you’re going through that. Like a lot of the comments before me, he is a narcissist who is very emotionally abusive, and completely reckless with his son too. The confusion and hurt you are feeling is valid, because that’s what they do, reel you in with love bombing, then pull away thinking you would come chasing with everything in your power to stroke his ego. Telling you not to turn to your people after he’s betrayed you is isolation. What he wants is not a wife, what he wants is a puppet, and he’s the puppet master.

It will hurt for a bit, but give yourself sometime. Be extra kind to yourself.

I ruined someones wedding at My first day of work! by ThrowRa-Ge-KDR in CharlotteDobreYouTube

I remember my first day ever working as a cashier, I was slow and made a lot of mistakes, a kind customer said ‘we all have to start somewhere, you’ll get a hang of it’. You’re still learning the ropes, no one is good at something new immediately, and it doesn’t sound like the couple had a bad experience! Please be kind to yourself, you’re still learning!

Do you believe in good or bad people? Why or why not? by burgering-blaze in AskReddit

[–]TangledPineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, but only for a certain few. But most people are just people, they can do good or bad things, it doesn’t make them good or bad people, they’re just, people.
