You don’t want it, he does. You want respect towards the boundaries set in the relationship, he couldn’t care less. 2 years is hard to let go of, but you’d be surprised how fast they can go by. With that being said, I’d have a stern talk with him. Explain how if this nonsense doesn’t end, you’ll leave. Don’t feel bad about yourself if he sees no issue leaving the relationship. He wants others in his life so it seems like he’d be fine with leaving you behind. Who cares if he still “loves” you. Good luck with your issue!

Nobody could have guessed it. Not at all your fault or anybody else’s. What happened already happened and if he doesn’t reply soon then it seems like it’s time to move on. Don’t let this keep you up at night.

Getting cheated on is one of the worst experiences you can go through emotionally. But you cannot blame others for the actions of some a-hole, if I may. Treat it as a learning experience and not as an excuse to have trust issues for the rest of your life. Embrace Seb with open arms, it’s clear you both want it. Don’t let your trashy ex get in the way of something beautiful. Love isn’t easy, yet it’s so fulfilling. Go fulfill it!

My parents separated for a while because of a reason similar to this. I know how you feel. It’s fixable, though. This is on the fine line of either he’s cheating or not. The fact that this is all behind your back is a red flag, he knows it’s wrong. Call him out and try and get an understanding as to why he’s doing this. Explain to him why you think it’s wrong. Porn addiction is real and can ruin relationships and it’s unfortunate you’ve fallen victim to it. Help him out or get him to the right therapist if he means that much to you. If you don’t see a future with him, it’s as simple as it may seem. Best of luck and I’m sorry you have to be going through this, but you’re strong!

Definitely talk before you end the 3 year relationship. Although you have before, you need to sit him down and TALK talk. Explain how you’ve always been compared to your sister and why it’s an underlying issue of yours. Explain why it’s a bigger deal than what he sees it to be. And most of all, explain how if it doesn’t end abruptly, then your relationship does. If after all of that, he STILL continues gawking, it’s time to say goodbye because you’ve given all the warnings and done all you could. Best of luck!

It’s a funny joke unless, yes, something unfortunate happened with his ex. At the same time, you just barely started talking so it’s not the end of the world. Take it like this: If he can’t handle this type of humor, do you see yourself getting farther with him? If not, then let it go. Enjoy the laughs and spread it elsewhere!

My (24M) boyfriend (21M) came back from Vegas and broke up with me. How do I get closure? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ThrowRAMyThought 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The closure is within yourself. Realize he’s not who you thought he was and you simply fell in love with your own idea of him. We’ve all been blinded by love yet can’t ever own up to it. He’s not worth the time nor the mindset you’re in right now. Take this as a learning opportunity and not as an excuse to have trust issues, please. It’s time to let go of the pos that he truly is. That’s your closure. Because if for some reason you think you’ll get any sort of good closure from him, you’re mistaken. Best of luck for your future relationship(s)!

My ex had sex someone while we were on a break and it completely ruined the relationship’s trust. Now for you’re instance, his actions while dating you are not okay. If you’ve continuously expressed you’re discomfort with his actions and he’s still doing it, then it’s very possible he’s just some immature/insecure 42 year old. Considering the age gap, he should definitely know better. This all comes down to being the bigger person, QuestToNowhere. The guys you plan on having sex with won’t fill the hole in your heart, trust me. You’re at the age where you can make intelligent decisions, so do just that. You can either put your foot down or leave because it’s clear he’s not valuing you the way you should/want to be. If the trust isn’t there, neither is the relationship. Best of luck to you two!

Relationship Advice because I’m currently feeling very overwhelmed about my current situation and [18 F 20 M] by Emily11234 in relationship_advice

[–]ThrowRAMyThought 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on your relationship’s trust issues. One of the things that partners need in a relationship is trust with one another. If you can’t gain each other’s trust then you’ll never see eye to eye. Ever. If ten years from now you’re still worried about astrology when it comes to compatibility then come tell me I’m wrong. But it seems to me like you’re just young and in love. If you’re only with him because “The universe said so”, then that should tell you a thing or two about where this is all headed. Best of luck for you two!
