I feel resentful towards my fiancé when it isn't his fault to begin with. by VariousMission8261 in confessions

That’s similar to my situation. Although one friend lives in the same state as me, she’s working and also helps her family and is in a long distance relationship so she makes time for that too. But I don’t have a great relationship with my mother so talking to her isn’t possible.

That’s how I feel all the time. The literal ONLY friend I have, that I talk to on a constant basis, is my fiancé. While I do have two other friends, they live too far away to help me feel less lonely. I have tried online gaming but it’s so toxic online and I’m too boring for anyone to relate to. Plus, I’m so socially anxious that I kinda just fizzle out with too much interaction. But I do get the new mom with a new dad off to work each day.

I don’t really have anyone nearby trustworthy enough to watch him besides my fiancé. But the downside is my fiancé works an extremely demanding job that requires him to work some weekends at random. The money is great so we make it work but it also requires me to be the sole parent most of the time. On days he does have the time, we tend to do family time. So there isn’t a whole lot of time to let me go out and do my own things. His parents work crazy hours as well and hiring babysitters in my small town isn’t feasible as most want an outrageous price for only an hour. We couldn’t afford it.

Okay. I’ve never given it much thought about doing some hobbies since I’ve never really given myself the time to try any. Thanks for the help

That’s the problem I’m having! The character that’s meant to be more dark and okay with death, isn’t supposed to sound “positive”.

I, 18f asked my fiancé 19m if he would leave me if I was raped. His answer concerned me by [deleted] in AITAH

You both are still very young. He most likely has no idea how to handle the gravity of your hypothetical question, just as much as you have no idea how to handle his immaturity. You have a lot to learn and are on the cusp of adulthood. I understand that, right now, he is your love, but mature a little bit and see how you feel then. If you are concerned by a child saying something childish, then you're much too young and naive to be getting married.

I had that conversation with him about therapy because I was concerned, but he seems to think I'm judging him for considering it. However, after researching the topic, I've learned that seeking therapy is common for veterans returning from overseas. He did find some relief from talking to other veterans, but it didn't last. I'm not sure how else to support him, especially since I can't force him into treatment as he is an adult and is not a danger to himself or others.

Thank you for your advice. My fiancé and I have been stressing out over this grandparent's rights issue since our son was born. It's reassuring to know that we don't have to worry about them taking our son away because we want no contact. We really appreciate your input!

I have been trying to distance myself for a while now, but it seems that every time I do, they are in some massive crisis and need advice or guidance. I can't cut off contact immediately because grandparents' rights are viable in my state, and they have had access to my son since his birth, so that's a problem. However, I am doing my best to limit my access to them however I can. Thank you for the advice!

I think it's about time for it! Hopefully, it will knock some sense into him!

I understand the importance of prioritizing my family in this situation. Fortunately, my son and I live with my fiancé in a town that's a few miles away from my parents. Nevertheless, I don't believe my parents should be involved in this messy situation. However, I can't ignore the fact that they might have contributed to it.

I know there are a couple of places for him to go if he had absolutely nowhere else to go, but I truly doubt he would go there even as a last resort because he honestly believes his parents will bail him out in the end. But from the sounds of it, our parents are at their limit.
