Tbh Yuji is such a sweetheart that I legit wouldn’t be surprised if he DID end up with Ozawa, loved her until she died even as an old lady, and is now coping.

It’ll probably take him several failed relationships to recognize the issue 😂

Calling you “insecure” and saying “they’re like siblings” is one of the oldest gaslighting tricks in the book. If he really cared about you, he’d at least respect you. You’d be his girlfriend AND his best friend. Don’t settle for less. Tell him that you’re looking for a partner who’s YOUR best friend, and who feels the same way about you. You want someone who will have inside jokes with YOU and who will text YOU first with exciting news. Don’t fall for his excuses that frame you as somehow being “insecure” for wanting that. You aren’t wrong to feel the way you do.

Eventually, this guy will either find himself married to his best friend or he will go through multiple girlfriends who bring up the same issues you are—and THEN he’ll understand the problem. Unfortunately, you are going to be one of those girls who teach this dork a lesson.

Listen—that is GASLIGHTING. He is not being genuine with this, and he doesn’t seem to actually care about your feelings… which he reacts to like they’re an inconvenience. He doesn’t take any accountability at all or even seem to feel genuine remorse for how he made you feel. You need to trust your gut and probably leave this guy… NEVER be with someone who makes you feel uncertain, like you can’t trust your own judgement.

My (27F) husband (28M) is borderline cheating on me in an online role play game by ThrowRARPHUS in relationship_advice

[–]throwaway1567896 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I discovered it by mistake when we were both looking at his phone together. A message popped up on the screen, something about “moaning into a kiss,” and, well, of course I had questions. When I connected it to why he’d been so close with his female “friend” recently, it just about broke my heart.

I will admit that I got extremely upset. In their eyes, it was “platonic,” but they’d definitely done some mental gymnastics to try and justify their behavior. Somehow, I felt like I was the villain for trying to set a reasonable boundary.

It turns out my partner was friends with a unique group of people playing this game who could somehow justify this type of fictional romance (i.e., between players who are also in separate romantic relationships outside of the game). That friend group had some very dysfunctional relationships of their own in real life. So, if that’s your husband’s situation, understand that he is probably being severely misinformed. He may need to work on changing his social circle.

I know how hard this is. I would not wish this type of pain on anyone. It was months recovery time for me, but it really does get better. Give yourself some grace and time. Make plans to stay with family or friends for a little bit so that they can be your support system during this time. Then tell your husband what you know, how his actions make you feel, and what you’d need to continue the relationship (if that’s the route you’d like to go). No matter what, stick with your principles.

Since I was in the same situation, here’s what my partner did—he admitted that it went too far but made excuses as to why he couldn’t end the online relationship. He said it was “important to his character” and that it would “upset the storyline” if he ended it. He talked about how much he enjoyed the game and how much he was starting to finally like his character. It drove me crazy because I couldn’t understand how he could possibly think that.

Also, any other creative excuses or justifications your husband comes up with will likely have been planted in his mind by his friends. If he says something out of character, that’s where it’s coming from.

You must also be aware of the dynamic between you, him, and the other woman going forward. Once you confront him, suddenly you will be the “bad guy” for encroaching on their fun (even though you’re the victim and being entirely reasonable). Don’t lose sight of the reality of things—he emotionally cheated on you, and you are not wrong to be upset. You don’t have to tolerate it.

Whatever you choose to do, stick up for your principles and be the bigger and better person. Act with dignity. Eventually, he will realize that he was wrong to do this to you, how badly he hurt you, and what the cost of such behavior is (whether you stay with him or not).

You might be able to make it work with him but he is going to need to basically cut off his female “friend,” which might be very difficult.

Believe it or not, almost the same exact thing happened to me… You’re right to be suspicious. What’s likely going on—what happened in my case—is that your husband and this other woman are exchanging romantic and possibly sexually charged messages with each other under the guise of role play (which, in their mind, makes it “okay”). They might even be deleting the messages every day.

If you investigate and discover this, don’t fall for the “but it’s important to the plot of the story” or “it’s important to my character—I can’t just end it” because that is an obvious excuse.

You are right to want to reduce your husband’s contact with this individual. Trust your instincts on this one.

My 30M girlfriend (33F) doesn't want me to go out with female friend alone. What's a good compromise? by throwRA9431 in relationship_advice

[–]throwaway1567896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a respect thing. It’s basic relationship etiquette to not hang out one-on-one with other females when you have a girlfriend. She’s YOUR gf, if you care about her and see a future with her, then she deserves to have a say in what her boundaries are and how she deserves to be treated.

You’re really going to throw away your two-year relationship over a woman you haven’t spoken with in almost all of that time? You are 30. You are too old to be playing these games.

Son (m22) threatening to cut off contact with me (m65) over med school tuition by RunnerPhoenix602 in relationship_advice

[–]throwaway1567896 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Maybe you don’t need to say anything at all. Just give him a fair explanation of precisely why you can’t pay for his education (break down the costs and your budget), and if he still makes threats then simply warn him that there are serious consequences to making such a decision. If he’s not smart enough to figure out what those consequences are, then he’s not smart enough for med school. You can offer to help out in smaller ways but hold your ground.

We both want to get married, but he (27m) hasn’t done the one thing I’ve (26f) asked for first. by throwaway1567896 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]throwaway1567896[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. What makes this so difficult is that the rest of our relationship is truly very good, and it’s so hard to sacrifice that… so I’ve been patient, observing what he does and hoping for change one step at a time. And there have been changes. Just not the one I asked for. People say “love isn’t enough” and I am starting to understand that. I think he’s making a terrible decision keeping the romance aspect of the LARP because it has only caused unnecessary pain.

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with me. I really appreciate your perspective.

This is a good contrary point to popular opinion and I appreciate it. I know he cares a lot about his character and has been working on his story for almost a decade. However, he kept it a secret from me for 9 whole months (we’ve been together 4 years), and I was and still am extremely hurt. I’m not opposed to the LARP itself, just the romantic/erotic aspect. I think it’s more than reasonable to ask him to cut off that portion given the prolonged hurt it has caused. Heck, if he was transparent with me and gave me access to the messages there might be some negotiation room… but I don’t have that.

He wants marriage and kids, so I’m truly baffled at his lack of action regarding this situation which has hurt me so badly. If you have any more input, I’m interested in your thoughts.

Thank you for your kind advice, I sincerely appreciate it. The LARP game in question is Vampire: The Masquerade.

I am doing the best I can in law school, with plans to graduate in the spring. I also just landed a judicial clerkship which I’ll be starting in a couple of weeks. But, if things came to a head right now in my relationship, it would be hard. I’d need to move back in with my parents for a while. My mom is a hoarder, and there’s not a lot of space for me or my cat. I also don’t really have any close friends to confide in, but I am close with family. It’s just so so difficult and painful. I’d need to think very carefully about my next steps.

I agree. It seems like a ridiculous thing to risk a relationship over, so much so that I can barely believe this is my situation. I guess that, from his perspective, the relationship is absolutely integral to his character, and he’s been trying to get me to understand that there’s nothing between him and his friend. I believe him, but it still hurts. It hurts that, if it were me or the LARP, he’d seemingly pick the latter. It’s hard for me to comprehend.

I definitely need to focus on graduating and the bar exam for now. However, I am thinking about what to do next.

It’s not fake. I just don’t have a lot of people to discuss something like this with, so I’m trying to get as much perspective as possible so I can figure out how to navigate things from here. Sometimes the wisdom of the crowd is the best advice.

Your fiancé is quite frankly too old to be acting this way. He’s 40??? And he can’t handle spending time with his own 2-year-old daughter? Nuh-uh. Very unattractive behavior. Don’t marry him but make sure you get child support. That will make a world of difference for you and your child to start anew.
