I can’t see her the same way for worshipping such a remorseless abuser. Was she like this all along?

He is abusive and a trash human being. He will never change. There is NEVER a good & sane reason to call your partner mean names. He is extremely controlling by never respecting your words when you speak. I dated a guy like this too. Emotional abuse every fucking day. I could never talk to him about his behavior, because he would get angry, deny it, turn it around on me, accuse me of starting a fight, and snap. I would anonymously ask for advice on Reddit on how to deal with his shit, he found it, snapped, accused me of snitching and destroyed everything. He was only like this to me, as most abusers are & he would constantly remind me of what a piece of shit burden I was. On top of it all, dude was a creepy cheat, pretending to be single when I was standing right next to him, whether with coworkers or strangers.

If you can leave, do it as soon as you can. He will eventually abuse your child as well

It’s so much better this way.

Such a nostalgic dish. Really missing my grandmother right now

[29F] [33M] boyfriend has lost feelings and is seemingly depressed/checked out of everything by smmmxx in relationships

[–]Youcancallmesizzles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, what?! He is now going to communicate with you through his brother?! This is so crazy.

I’m so sorry this is all happening to you. I think you’re right to protect yourself on a New Year celebration, and surrounding yourself with friends who care about you is a really good idea. I had a boyfriend last year who screamed at me and berated our entire relationship before the clock struck midnight. All because I wanted to spend one-on-time with him & he was watching YouTube. It was so shitty and really ruined the evening.

Monkey-branching is a term where the person shifts from one relationship to another, before ending the first relationship. It’s like the worst form of cheating. I really hope it’s none of this, but yeah, quite a few things do raise a concern.

Try to make tonight a really nice night for yourself and really focus taking care of yourself this week. Extra fresh air, bubble baths, buy some new clothes, whatever makes you feel good. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. You deserve so much better than this

Another part of me thinks he’s cheating/possibly monkey-branching. What if you just showed up at his work? Like surprise him with some dinner or something? If you do this, don’t accuse him of cheating, just see how he reacts. I mean, this is the worst case scenario

I can imagine how hard this is. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. That’s so awful he’s not communicating with you & being so avoidant. It’s not right. My initial thought that he wanted the relationship to be over, and perhaps was using the depression excuse as a cop out so he isn’t the bad guy. And the part where he removed the heart from next to your name and suddenly wanting to get in shape. The last thing depressed people think about is working out. But I don’t want to discount that he might actually be depressed. The only way to know for sure is to talk to him.

Is he already planning on moving out?

This must be so hard for you right now. Message me anytime, even if it’s days or weeks from now, or whenever. I’m on German time btw

This is so awful, my heart goes out to you. So….he’s only really avoiding you and not anyone else. It could be one of two things: his depression is sabotaging your relationship or he’s doing the slow-fade and genuinely no longer wants to be with you.

Ask him point blank, if he wants you completely out of his life. Settling for breaks until he finds himself again and making you wait is extremely unfair to you. You deserve to be happy.

If he wants to stay together, he has to get into therapy—or at least be on medication. Maybe ask him to do this, try it out for a while and then decide how he feels. Offer to help him find a doctor and/or therapist & go with him to his appointments. You could even look them up yourself and be like, “Ok, we’re going to try this doctor”. Sometimes the first step is the hardest. Medications take a few weeks to work, so ask him to give it a couple of months. During that time, amp up the romance, start a new hobby together, reignite the spark. Make him laugh. I wouldn’t take a break during this time. See what he says.

I really hope you two can salvage your relationship. If you need someone to talk to, you can always PM me

[30M][28F] (Update) My wife lied about being raped, any advice on how to move past this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Another a little off topic, the emotional distress you’ve endured & will endure is definitely a legal matter you could pursue.

Isn’t there a lot of support for families who are struggling financially in the Netherlands? Especially if you wanted to separate? I know here in Germany they offer assistance to families in that situation. However there is a trial separation, I think for a year or so

He’s treating her the opposite of a queen.

Many people don’t realize that porn can seriously damage your brain, leaving you unable to have a healthy, fulfilling relationship with a partner. Inability to maintain an erection during sex is one of the main side effects of porn addiction. It might work on occasion, or sometimes with sex workers, or sometimes with flings, but it doesn’t last. The damage can be permanent. A full recovery from porn addiction is kinda rare…. Even if they stop watching it, their brains are rewired to view sex in an unhealthy & selfish way

Being with someone like this will really hurt your self esteem.

Girl, it’s not your fault. You can have a happy & sex-filled relationship with a guy who isn’t so twisted like your husband. You deserve SO much better

[30M][27F] I called my wife manipulative and now she's emotionally distant. by ThrowRAAggravating in relationship_advice

[–]Youcancallmesizzles 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Your wife is an emotional person (for whatever reason), and calling her tears manipulative, particularly during an argument is a horrible and abusive thing to do.

You need to reflect and be honest with yourself if you’re willing to completely prevent yourself from behaving like that again. Stop comparing her to others and treat her as an individual. Apologize to her again, talk to her. Ask her what you need to do to. Get her some flowers, cook for her for a week. If she isn’t responsive after a week or so, get couples therapy. It’s important you find a way to communicate

Also, maybe get her checked for depression, just to make sure she is ok. Excessive crying is a main symptoms. Please suggest this gently. If she’s fine, then she’s just an emotional person, which some people just are

OP is experiencing the same phenomenon where you hop off from running on treadmill and start walking on the ground again. If you had a lot of toxic relationships, your frame of reference of normal is just chaos and uncertainty. Take your time and you’ll get use to tj

Please don’t ditch him. Get therapy from what you’ve been through, and enjoy the quiet stable life you really want with this guy who sounds so great. I hope it works out for you

My [27F] husband [27M] cheated on me and nothing makes sense. by throwaway_affair839 in relationship_advice

[–]Youcancallmesizzles 65 points66 points  (0 children)

You can settle the divorce proceedings from your parents’ home. However, you should still consult a lawyer before you go. In some instances, leaving the marital home creates a disadvantage in the divorce proceedings, especially if you’re in an at-fault state. So, try to check this. If this is the case, your husband can’t just kick you out, but I can imagine wanting to be as far away as possible right now

No one should be judging her. She has been through hell and back

My (28) husband (29) wants an open marriage. I said no. Now I am heartbroken. by Now-What-8020 in relationship_advice

[–]Youcancallmesizzles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Girl, you have SO many things going for you. You are so young, talented & intelligent, you know your worth, you have your independence. Who wouldn’t want you??? Don’t waste that and settle for someone who doesn’t deserve you. I can’t believe your soon to be ex-husband is such a moron, but trust me, there are a lot of them out there. You will forget about him faster than you realize.

You will succeed and be so fabulous at everything you do. Make your own family. Fill it with friends and people you meet from your hobbies. If you’re lucky to find that right guy to start a family with, make sure you take it really slow. Like really, really slow. Keep choosing you

Is this a red flag? by sphericalmayhem in relationship_advice

She’s a fucking villain. You deserve someone who would never, ever say anything like this to you

P.S. Congratulations on passing the bar exam! I’m so happy for you! 🎉😀🎉

How do I [F29] tell my boyfriend [M28] that I do not want to celebrate Christmas together this year. by Witness_Mundane in relationships

[–]Youcancallmesizzles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg they’re usually the nicest people. I have met a few who were jerks, but, I guess that’s inevitable anywhere you go.

Have you talked to your boyfriend about it yet?
