No he wants a relationship m. She doesn’t. OP has relationship expectations of someone who’s clearly stated that’s not what they are or what she wants

I would start by communicating this to her. If she’s too childish to talk to you about serious things(such as this) I’d leave her. She is neglecting you as a partner. It is not fair to you. You are allowed to feel things. You are not a burden.

Either you are in or you are out. You obviously not in!

He's not listening to what you want to do. That alone is enough to support your decision

The word “forgive” implies she somehow wronged you. Hate to break it to you but she did nothing wrong. If you want girlfriend behaviors, have a girlfriend.

Actually do understand the “exclusive FWB” thing but that doesn’t mean she can’t text anyone else, be romantic with others, or even use this time to find someone to be in a relationship with. All it means is she won’t have sex with someone else while you are still FWB.

You’re just having sex. That’s all your relationship is, according to the label you gave it. She didn’t do anything wrong.

You guys have grown up together. Could you just say that you really want this to work and that you feel your communication could be better so you’d like to see a therapist together?

Forgot to say that in the post.

If he’s going to cheat he doesn’t need to go on a trip to do so. You’re being unreasonable.

I’m the one that wants a relationship. She said she wants one too, but more down the line.

i’m fortunate enough to have my dad & student loans pay for my rent so my dad offered me a deal where i’ll pay half and he pays half for the rest of the time the lease is up (until august) so they won’t need another roommate or pay rent. she’s only upset because i won’t live with her anymore. i’m also leaving all of the furniture i brought so they can use it, like the couch and stuff bc that would be weird of me to take lol

Working on it. My abuser put me 10k in debt, micromanages my life, and so on. The first out I find I’m going to take.

You’re not a couple. Therefore you have zero ground to stand on

Wow! Ok, first, does he not know most men lose weight easily and most women do not? My mom jokingly complained that whenever she dieter, my dad lost weight. You work on your healthy lifestyle at your pace. Talk to a nutritionist if you can. You may have a food that you think is healthy but is sabotaging your weight loss goals... that's assuming YOU want to lose weight, not him.

Your bf has been ignoring you and wants to have sex with others. He is no longer your bf, he is now your ex-bf and current roommate. Find a new roommate, as your current one is toxic. He doesn't want sex with you, doesn't want to be celibate alongside you, just wants to bang others and have you smile? That is intentional cheating. Move out ASAP

Everyone plays their role in a relationship. Don't beat yourself up over it. Grow into a better partner and a better advocate for yourself moving forward.

If you don't establish clear boundaries, if you don't communicate your needs aren't being met, if you enable unhealthy lifestyle and unhealthy relationship then its time for you to change that for yourself. You should demand better for yourself. Your needs are not unreasonable.

My situation was a bit more complicated than I expressed. She technically didn't threaten divorce. But it's easiest to explain in that way. It took a ton of mutual effort. Her trust had been completely shattered. It took years of effort.

I still play video games. Every day just about. I'm playing one right now! But I know I need to be present with my family and I make time for them every day and I thoroughly enjoy that time instead of resenting it and wishing I were playing a game. A healthy balance can be achieved if everyone puts in the effort.

I'm happy to talk to you about this at length or in more detail if you need.

The weed will likely keep her in this mental state for her whole life if she continues to smoke. Seriously it prevents people from growing mentally as I've seen.

She will come back eventually/apologize and blame herself and her condition. Let her come back don't pursue her. You take her back.. it will absolutely happen again though. Like I said.. we make these choices. Choose your life.

Well this doesn't make sense to me. They want to be more than friends with benefits, but they are "not there yet". If they are "not there yet", everyone is free to do whatever they like. This actually might be the reason why they are "not there yet", she wants to keep her doors open. OP needs to decide if that works for him or not.

Thank you. It's not that I mind him having female friends, it's that he never discussed this with me and he point blank told me that he was interested in a few of them before he met me. He doesn't seem to understand how that makes things awkward for me. You could argue that yes, he chose me but I just think that it's messed up of him to put me in that situation.

He told me that we were going to be staying in his friend's grandma's house and be renting it once we came up with the money. When we got into town, he blindsided me with that. He can't understand why I'm not happy and why I just want to go home.

I may be old fashioned but I think that it's inappropriate for him to expect me to do this. Do you think I'm overreacting to the situation? One could argue that I'm just being insecure but I just think it's inappropriate.

Suicide is pretty severe, and then my experience poly relationships are exactly that. It gives one person in this case I believe your boyfriend, the ability to go outside of the relationship, whenever and wherever with whomever he wants I wish you the best of luck. Please take care of yourself and I’m gonna tell you it’s not worth it. These relationships never developed into a deep and meaningful abiding love
