Unfortunately it's too common that people shoot the messenger when it comes to exposing cheaters. My crazy ex gf actually disowned her own best friend after her best friend told her that her new fiance is cheating on her.

My cousin F37 is happily married to her husband M53. And he is honestly a real stand up guy, super lovely! Sometimes age gaps is okay, but I can totally see how in a lot of cases it’s a red flag. Also, no, he wasn’t a creep, they met when my cousin was 30, so it wasn’t super creepy.

Ya, age gaps get less of a problem the older you both are when you get together. A 60 year old and a 80 year old are a lot less of a creepy situation than a 20 year old and a 40 year old.

With story 4: I would date a widower... but "the one who got away" is different. I agree with her. If he thinks this ex was THE ONE and he isn't happy that losing her brought him to OP... it'll always be back in her mind that if the ex returns, he'll drop her in a heartbeat. Call it insecurity... but he put it there. Who wouldn't be insecure when your love is saying you're not HIS love and that breaking up will always be a regret
@Azulakayes9 ай бұрын
I personally don't believe in the whole concept of 'the one' because to me, everybody has a season in your life and I guess it makes it a bit easier for me to let go of exes. I can even be cordial to them but I truly let go and never entangle my emotions with them. OP's perspective is quite interesting though.

I was in a somewhat similar situation as the last story. I was working an absolutely exhausting job that was 12 hours a day 6 days a week. I despised my job but it was hard to find anything better at the time because the economy was trash. My boyfriend at the time made quite a lot of money and would have easily been able to support the both of us. When we were talking getting married I was absolutely thinking that after we combined finances it meant I could finally have the breathing room to quit my job and take time to find a better one that didn't make me feel like crying every night. I didn't want to be a stay at home spouse and I actually hate others paying for things for me but if it meant I could stop feeling like garbage all the time I'd take it. We ended up breaking up a few months later for unrelated reasons but I 100% understand where the fiancee was coming from. Looking for a new job takes time and effort and when you have zero energy left from your current job it becomes impossible to break away from it.
@erinwessel21959 ай бұрын
In regards to the last story - even before the OP confirmed it my take was that the fiance was burnt out from a bad working situation and just desperate for an escape. The wedding planning seemed like that opportunity to her. I suspect that given a little time to breathe, she could regain her confidence that she could find a better working situation. I see why the ring price is a red flag, but the open discussion the two had was a good sign. She was receptive. Another good sign. As long as they set monetary boundaries and move forward as a team they should be ok.
@jessicagomez77149 ай бұрын
Yeah, she didn't even started considering staying at home right when she say he made a lot more money, it took time for her to reach that place. And if they have a prenup and he actually asked her first to pay off the debt and then she refused, she's also not trying to use him for that... And once marries finances are shared, there is no my money your money. idk, may be because my house is like that but my parents join 100% of their money and choose how it will spent as a team.

Stroy #1 - The Step-Sister. We need more context on this. This could range anywhere between "no big deal" and "Holy shit, what the fuck, dude?!" and anywhere in between. A buddy of mine in high school was dating this girl since Freshman year, they started banging, then like a year later His Mom and Her Dad met for the first time, hit it off and eloped in a few months. So by Senior year, he was technically banging his step-sister, but he was there first, so I've gotta give him a pass. Now if they were raised together from early childhood, that would be weird. At that point it would be like doing your biological sister, even if she's not "technically", the relationship is still pretty much the same. I would be much less OK with that. Not illegal, not even immoral, just icky, lol. And there's a lot between those two extremes. Beyond that, there are verified cases where half-siblings have hooked up before learning they were related. Like married, had kids (healthy, the odds of birth defect in that case are pretty remote still), and then found out they had the same father / sperm-donor. And most people are surprisingly OK with that if they didn't grow up together and didn't know about it first. As long as there's no harm, the majority of people just say "Ok, no more kids, and maybe don't advertise this fact, but we won't judge". My point is people have gotten past worse than this. As OP has no siblings, I think she just doesn't get the whole dynamic and doesn't know what to feel. There are several considerations with Brother/Sister hookups. 1) Is there a blood relation? In this case, no. So at least no inbred kids, and that's not on the table anyway, as they're no longer together. 2) Did they grow up together? I think most people understand if they met as teens or in their early 20s, it's normal for them to possibly be attracted to eachother. If they met as young kids, the whole dynamic should have been different, and questions about their upbringing at that point would raise an eyebrow or two. 3) Obviously, he still interacts with her, so it's basically an Ex-girlfriend who will always be in his life. Lots of people are close with an ex even after moving on, but not everyone is comfortable with their partner maintaining those relationships after they have entered the picture, so that's up to OP. How comfortable would she be if he was still close with any other ex? 4) Asking his girlfriend to dress like his ex.... OK, that's crossing a line, whether it's his sister or not. Women don't like it when you compare and contrast them with other people you've been inside. It doesn't go over well.

Like even outside of the whole ''step sibling'' think He literaly told his gf and BRAGGED about and and told her to dress like her Even if it was juat a normal ''ex'' he had...telling your current girlfriemd they should dress like an ex is a major red flag, yes even drunk! And its just generaly weard! It also meams he likely isn't over her...OP must feel (outside of heavily disgusted) like a 2nd choice... Again if ut was a normal situation and just about an ex it was STILL a reason to break up over this!! The whole step sister....just made it so much worse and more disgusting!!! OP probably IS the wmd choice bc BF realized he can't be with his atep sister (socialy accepted he won't!) And thats why he is with OP instead!! God awfull!!!

I would date a widower so long as we were in a loving relationship. I believe that the heart is big enough that love for one does not diminish love for another. However I believe there are those who would consider the second wife a consolation for the losing the first so you have to play it by ear. In the case of the actual situation of the OP of that story it seemed to me that her bf was maybe a bit too blasé about the whole thing.

Story 5, NTA. OP needs to run real fast! Stay at home spouse and stay at home parent are normal, but stay at home fiancée is a new one. But the second she saw OP's paycheck, she started going financial communist and bragging like she married a rich man. Also, she didn't pay off her student debt in the whole time she was working?! If OP marries her, he needs to get an iron clad prenup with severe consequences added to it if things go south. But if she refuses to sign that prenup under the guise that "it isn't fair", then he shouldn't marry her. And I don't believe a word she says about why she wanted to quit her job (she's definitely lying and trying to gaslight OP).

He wanted the medical abortion, so if he had his way the child wouldn't exist. They chose to have a "legal abortion" (on paper not a medical procedure) where she had the kid as she wanted, and agreed she won't contact him, ask for child support etc, as if the baby had been aborted. "Legal Abortion" SHOULD be an option the biofather could choose within a set time after being legally notified of the pregnancy. So it protects mom's (like in the story) from the biofather making any claims... It protects the father from having a biochild used for extortion. Making the situation balanced.

One important thing to note, it’s not entirely just the age gap in particular but the ages the age gap occurs, if is a 20 with a 35 its weird because they are still relatively new to being an legal adult, but if it’s a 50 with a 65 it is a lot less weird since they both have been adults for quite a long time and it would be a lot harder for predatory emotional tactics to occur since both tend to be less gullible

She's entitled to love who she wants and date who she wants, and in this situation I agree with her choice, but the not dating a widow/widower thing is just wild to me. There's not just one person in this world that we're compatible with, and that's great! If someone has loved and lost their partner, I feel zero jealousy about their previous relationship - I would be thankful for them taking care of and loving my partner for as long as they could, even until death, and that makes me feel an amount of love for the deceased as well, because they mean/meant so much to my partner

Exactly, I'm monogamous but I still refuse to believe that out of the billions of people on earth there's only 1 your soulmate. Imagine if he'd be born on the other side of the world, now you're destined to be lonely for the rest of your life 🤦 I have a friend who believes this (but they're both married to other people so it keeps ending in secret affairs with her "soulmate"). He's really toxic but it's her "one and only soulmate" so everytime they have an affair it's big drama, and every breakup with him ends in big drama. No contact is still big drama. But "I can't forget him, he's the one." 🙄😵

I would date a widower given they have taken steps to properly process their grief. I don’t expect it to not be a thing or for them to be over it, just that they have found the appropriate tools to reasonably manage tough times. My fear is being the only source of someone’s happiness or them relying on me (only) to pull them out of depression. For the last story, it honestly sounds like OP relies on his spouse to do a lot because of his issues with planning and managing and that contributed to her wanting to stay at home. Even if you’re good at planning, it can still be overwhelming to be the only one making decisions.

I think it’s reasonable if my soon to be husband is making 15,000-30,000 a month for me to quit my job and look for something better. It’s called supporting your partner. If I could focus on building th Le career that’s been out if reach for me because I have to work a lesser job just to barely pay bills when j just need to help to make a better future I expect my husband to help me. I DO NOT expect to quit and never work again however. so as long as she will work again I think its fine. He said he makes 15 times what she makes. I’m assuming she’s bringing in at least $2,000 a month because that’s only $12 an hour after taxes. So 15 times that is 30,000… yeah. Have the prenup but also help her to excel. Instead of saying “no! You must work this pathetic job just because Reddit said so!”

Story 4: that is one insecure girl. So insecure. but at least she has awareness enough to break it off rather than be a weirdo. And she's a princess and a half. the BF never told her she wasn't his first and foremost. She just interpreted it that way. The BF never got to the point of the relationship with the Ex that left town where it turned sour. but it would have. The commenter who said if they really wanted to be together they would have made it work. So they broke it off before it went sour so its easy for the BF to romantise the ex relationship. But it didn't sound like he was still hung up on the ex. the OP just sounded like a princess with impossible standards because everyone has exes and everyone had baggage. she's looking for a unicorn.
