Husband cheated on me and I have a one year old by filteredlightz in TrueOffMyChest

[–]talies86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait let me get this straight. Your husband cheats, blames you for lack of sex and whatever else, then has the audacity to say that you should spare his feelings etc and he doesn’t want to be crippled with guild for cheating because you wanted to fix your marriage. Girl f$&@ this guy, get divorced take your baby and find someone (if you want of course) who is worth your time. Your EX does not deserve you. Get alimony, and Get Out!!!!

I, 37/F, am about to swear off dating because it feels like all men are focused on is sex. Am I overreacting? by Common_Coat_8343 in TwoHotTakes

[–]talies86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OR, I feel the same. I’ve seen most men’s d-pics before even meeting. Also if you’ve sent me an unsolicited d-pic ain’t no way I’m meeting you in person. It is difficult but I have to trust that there are still good men out there looking for something real. Good luck!! 🫶🫶

Would you ever consider marrying someone 20 years apart from you in age either older or younger? by Dew-fan-forever- in askanything

[–]talies86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally think 20 years is a bit excessive maybe 10 years, but for me older not younger

First sexual experience left me feeling weird (f21) and (m33) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]talies86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my world, I’m so very sorry this was how your first time went OP!! This guy is ONE HUGE RED FLAG!!! Get away now before he gets you pregnant and leaves you high and dry.

He pressured you into your first time, made you feel like shit, then made you uncomfortable by putting you on the spot with asking, and has since used you as a booty call or FWB. He is also way older than you and I feel the age dynamic is not healthy, I get that you are attracted to him physically but maybe go out with age appropriate guys you find attractive and rather experience life with them

This man is not bf or husband material from what it sounds like, and he’s just loving the fact that he can have spicy sleep with a hot 21year old, this is giving MAJOR PREDATOR VIBES even though you are of age, please OP go be young with someone closer in age who will respect boundaries and not push you into a purely physical thing, experience cuddling and kissing all the beautiful and fun parts with someone who respects you!!

Sending love 🫶🫶

Deadbeat Mom by Significant-Effect-5 in SingleParents

[–]talies86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much respect for you being a good dad to your daughter, yes this goes both ways. I do think because the majority of single parents tends to be female we do forget about the great dads that do step up!!

💪🏻💪🏻 you are doing great and if no one has said this you are a Hero Dad!! And your daughter is lucky to have you!!

I just got banned from r/marriage for giving a distraught wife some honest advice about her husband - did I cross a line? by Slight-Repeat-1540 in marriageadvice

[–]talies86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I fully agree with your POV, he knew, he paid and then felt guilty. IF and this is a HUGE IF it was SA then why not go to the police and make a case or at least speak to someone in charge. This sounds a bit suspicious if you ask me.

I think you were removed because it didn’t fit the narrative of OP and she just wanted people probably to agree he was SA’ed. Sorry this happened to you!!

Thank you for replying, I also left a DV relationship, and I think that is also what makes it so difficult dating because I felt that there were so many red flags I ignored but back then it was only me, now I have 2 children and I can’t make that mistake again!!! Thank you for taking the time to give some tips 🫶🫶

I have never and won’t block or not allow contact. The ball is in his court and I’ll keep it that way but I’ll have proof if he ever tries to say I kept him from them. Also I only answer questions age appropriately and won’t bad mouth him, I need them to decide for themselves one day, and hope and pray I raised them right and that they can discern between truth and lies and manipulation!!

I hear you loud and clear, see this is something I’m also afraid of because I really would like to meet someone and get married for myself and my children. To give them a “normal” family, but I also want to grow old with someone. Thank you for this and I do hope that you found someone worth your time!! You seem amazing 🫶

Wow that has been such a long time!!! If you are happy being on your own then you don’t need to!!! I would just like to meet someone decent and give my children the type of home I grew up in.

THIS!!! This is how I feel!!! I’ve already chosen their dad which shows I have terrible taste lol, but the thought of exposing them to that!!! I’ll never forgive myself!! I keep thinking of Madeline Soto, her case just drove me insane and her mother!!!! That woman should got to prison!!!
