[Update] She [F25] withdrew consent after the act, how do I [M26] move on from this?

Wow. I read this and found it kind of shocking that this wasn't a far right op, because it almost reads like one. I had to look the author up to see where they were coming from, and that was pretty sh…

My husband (34M) told his friends about my miscarriage as a “joke” and now says I’m overreacting (32F)

Leave him. Divorce. His rude "joke" was not a joke. His treatment, refusing to accept responsibility for his mouth, blaming you, redirecting blame for his callous behavior, 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩�…

My husband (34M) told his friends about my miscarriage as a “joke” and now says I’m overreacting (32F)

Doesn’t sound like he regretted what he said. He has too big of an ego to accept responsibility. He probably said it as a joke but doesn’t want to acknowledge your feelings towards it so instead of ap…

32 years of marriage, but I'm still unsettled by an affair from 2006. Is it too late to ask for the truth?

You cannot rely on your partner. Maybe they'll tell the truth, maybe not - and you may not ever be able to tell the difference!  My experience - it was a few years of doubt (with my partner using th…

I made my husband confess to OBS and here’s what happened

You wouldn't be breaking up the family, he's done that through his own actions. DO NOT accept responsibility for the consequences of his own actions. The consequences are a result if HIS choices,  not…

She admits the lies and secrecy, but still denies anything physical

It’s clear to me she had an emotional and physical affair with this coworker. The level of disrespect for her to have you call her affair partner so he can also lie to you is astonishing to me. She do…

Close friendship ending because I ( F26) became their (M 27) emotional punching bag

Love doesn't make up for bad treatment. If people avoiding his company is a pattern and he's aware enough to pick up on it, then again it's a choice he's making. He doesn't get to DARVO his way out …

My father won't clean up the mess he made in the bathroom and he thinks it's funny. Am I overreacting? Would I be if I stopped doing things for him that I would usually do?*

you’re absolutely not overreacting. I experienced almost the same thing the other week with my nfather. When I confronted him with it, he didn’t laugh but he gaslit me, saying “it’s not gonna kill you…

I finally told my mom the truth in front of everyone and now she’s acting like i ruined her life

Well done. If she didn't want to be held accountable for committing child abuse, she should not have committed child abuse. A more clever abuser would have at least had the presence of mind to **n…

My bf(37m) keeps getting mad because I(27m) don’t want to share the responsibility of the dog he wants to get. Isn’t better that he knows what he’s getting into?

That’s fair. You shouldn’t have to accept responsibility you don’t want, but it’s also fair of him to ask you to help out like the other commenter said. If you’re not willing to do simple things like …
