He doesn't want to hurt you? he is doing it at many levels. I understand maybe you two are good friends in a sense but think about what you want in a relationship, he is a hypocrite, and her attitude is going to hurt you more in the long run. Maybe this is more than just sex and there is more to the story that he doesn't want you to know.
I see you're getting down voted, but you make some valid points.
While I can absolutely understand the woman wanting her mom to be present for appointments (because I'd likely be the same way), it can be seen as a potential red flag, depending on the circumstances. Is the mom otherwise overbearing or overly meddling in her daughter's life and/or your relationship? If not, you might just be paranoid.
Either way, I think it would be best to discuss it with your partner, about boundaries, her mother's future involvement with the pregnancy, etc…
Maybe she thinks she needs she has to buy your affection? You should have a nice talk with her and explain that you’re happy to be her friend just for the sake of being friends.
I get both sides of this, though one thing is true: what you wear is not up to anyone but YOU. Guys hear other men ogling and saying sexual things about random women all the time, and so they hate the thought of other men saying nasty shit to their buddies about you. It’s easier to not think about as a woman because we don’t hear the objectifying crap they say about us regularly. We can certainly imagine it because we’ve heard worse, but it doesn’t feel like a certainty because we’re not in the same conversations.
I sugest you insist on a immediate legal separation & divorce for financial abuse/deception.
Offer to continue living together as landlord & tennant and potential future boyfriend & girlfriend once he's sorted out his tax situation and learned to be open & honest .
It sounds like you still like the guy but just don't want to be tied to him financially. Marriage is a contract that can be dissolved and should be if one partner is failing to act as a full partner.
You don't need to throw the baby out with the bathwater but the bathwater needs to go asap! 🙂
Be careful. It's alright to miss someone and still know why they're not good for you. I'd just be polite, let her see the cats, and not volunteer anything personal beyond that. She's the one initiating, let her put her cards on the table first before you make any decisions.
You can’t help an addict. The only person who can help is the addict. He has to want to be sober. Then he would need to commit to sobriety. I really suggest Nar-anon. Ask your therapist about it. It would really give you more insight into the mind of an addict (scary place) and help you realize that you are powerless in this situation.
To me it sounds like weight didn’t used to be the core problem, but now it is. Like she injured herself which left her in bed, where she gained weight, which prevented her from healing properly.
I’d be curious to know if the original issue is still present, or if now it really is just the weird gain and its effects. None of us are doctors of course, but if bet a fair amount of money that is what happened.
My Mom had Alzheimer’s. We didn’t tell her over and over that her parents were long gone when she wanted to go see them, We lied. We distracted. She started seeing them everywhere right before she died. We didn’t tell her they weren’t there.
How do you know she's cheating in any way? All she said was that when she gets a chance, she will call the ex-boyfriend back. Maybe she's going to call him and tell him to stop texting her. In which case, no one needs to know.
Agree. See a lawyer immediately. You can talk to several. Get out of this. You need legal guidance on how to separate and leave and how to file for divorce. It is different in each state. Don’t tell him anything until you have a plan in place.
And I usually have this bad habit of distancing myself from people who hurt me.
Why is that a bad habit? It seems wise, to me.
I suggest you concentrate on your upcoming graduation, not on this relationship. Make sure you complete your last coursework, try to on-line it up a little, have a fun commencement day, go to a friend's graduation party or throw your own. Because frankly, you and your BF are going to continue feeling awkward for a little while.
I can't think of any positive attributes she could possibly have at this point that would outweigh the negatives and red flags listed in this post. I'd say break up, but be careful how you do it bc she will likely freak out and make you out to be some massive villain for doing so.
If this behaviour of his is bothering you then you need politely tell him it because reacting to his content with positive emoji's is hardly what one would call proper communication or boundary setting.
I pray for some of you Men. Openly accepting disrespect and settling for Women that outright tell you and show you that you’re a clear backup plan for when she can’t get the Man she actually wants
I wouldn't necessarily say selfish, just very financially irresponsible to the point where it's starting to affect me financially.
The reason he's 40 and preying on you, a 25 year old, is because women his age know he's a loser and can see through his bullshit.

Ikr! And I’d expect the same if I cheated, I just don’t get it :S
He sounds like a complete lunatic
Either “Let's meet then” or you just call her.

Yeah it’s probably over. You’re going to end up very hurt if you try to come between someone and their pet
I would have to agree. Her jealousy is her issue to work on.
Maybe he has low test levels. Tell him politely to check his hormones.

Okay. Well since you matched with him on tinder you can probably message him on there
