Love Romance and Marriage

a month ago

Husband (32) and I (28) have been married 5 years, together 6. I was asked today to go with my director to attend a meeting (mon-fri) out of state. It would be a one time travel commitment and is not something I would have the opportunity of doing again. My supervisor is unable to attend due to not having anyone to care for her baby. I was asked if I would go with my director, since I have the next most knowledge to speak on the topic the meetings are about. I spoke to my husband today about it and immediately he became very angry and said he would not be happy. I feel stuck that if I go my husband will retaliate and resent me. If I don’t go this will impact my job and possible future growth for me. My husband has a history of being jealous and trust issues. We have no pets, no kids, no constraints to stop me from going to where he would be affected except without having me around. This is the first time I would travel for work in the whole 6 years we have known each other. He said he didn’t get with “someone who travels for work”. He immediately hung up on me and sent angry texts. Please don’t judge and just needing to get this off of me. I feel if I go to it my marriage is in trouble. If I don’t go my career at my job is impacted. I’ve never cheated, given him a reason to not trust me, or anything. I always communicate and give him updates. He has had a history of lying and going behind my back. It sucks I have to pay the price for his insecurities UPDATE I tried to talk in person with him once he got home. Things only got worse. He was threatening to walk out. Grabbing clothes and putting them in bags. He got angry when I said he doesn’t support me. He won’t tell me why exactly he doesn’t want me to go, other than he wouldn’t be with any woman who travels for work. The more I tried to ask why he would become more upset. I began crying and he said my crying was manipulation. He said I can do whatever I want, it’s my choice. Idk how I have a choice when choosing to go will result in my life being uprooted. I asked him what excuse would I give for not going, because saying “my husband won’t let me go” isn’t alarming at all (sarcasm). It’s difficult to talk to him in these situations. He stonewalls me and then when I push hard enough he says hurtful things to me. I know this isn’t a healthy marriage and I probably need to leave.

When “Better” Isn’t Enough: The Struggle to Find Happiness in a Toxic Relationship

I’m in a relationship with my boyfriend (23m) for about three years now, and my parents (especially my dad) think he’s toxic for me. In the beginning, he smoked a lot, and we had a lot of ups and downs, including him blocking me or breaking up with me out of nowhere. It created a toxic cycle, and I didn’t know how to get out of it. But after a big life event, he stopped smoking and became more stable. However, he still has a pattern of wanting to break up during disagreements, while I prefer to work things through. I’ve leaned heavily on my parents for support during tough times, and over time, they’ve become more concerned about him, especially after seeing the frequent breakup episodes. About six months ago, he wasn’t allowed at my house for a while because of it. Recently, things have been tense because he’s uncomfortable with me being friends with a guy. I had breakfast with this friend, and when he found out, it triggered a panic attack in me. I blamed myself and turned to my dad for comfort, who reassured me I hadn’t done anything wrong but also voiced his concerns about my boyfriend. He thinks some of my boyfriend’s actions—like only buying food for himself, being disinterested in spending time with me during holidays, and his behavior toward me possibly earning more than him—are selfish and narcissistic. My mom also thinks he’s toxic, and now I’m torn between my boyfriend’s progress and my parents’ warnings. I feel conflicted. My boyfriend has made progress—he’s been more communicative and supportive during tough times, and when things are calm, I feel like we have a future together. But I’m unsure if I’m just being optimistic or not seeing the red flags. I’m scared to walk away after investing so much into this relationship, but I also feel guilty about disappointing my parents. I don’t know what to do, and I need some advice from an outside perspective.

So, I’ve been in a relationship with my boyfriend for over three years now, and we work together in a kitchen. I’m 27, and he’s 29. We have a great connection, but there’s this ongoing issue: he just can’t seem to wake up on time for his shifts. It’s been happening regularly—he’s often 15 to 45 minutes late. While he brushes it off as no big deal, I’m starting to really worry that it’s going to impact his job, and honestly, I don’t want that for him. I try to help by waking him up, but I don’t want to feel like I’m constantly mothering him, you know? We’ve been through a lot lately—his best friend tragically took his own life last month, and on top of that, our relationship feels a bit strained. We’ve both been exhausted, and it’s taken a toll on our emotional connection. Our sex life has pretty much disappeared, which doesn’t help things either. I want us to have a future together—get married, have kids, build a life. But I’m afraid I can’t do all of that by myself. I’m already carrying the weight of making sure he gets to work on time, and I’m not sure how much longer I can do that. Part of me wants to set clearer boundaries and tell him to step up, but the other part of me is hesitant because I know it’ll be a difficult conversation. I just don’t want this issue to grow into something bigger and hurt us in the long run.

I (24M) have been in a four-year relationship with my girlfriend (25F). We’ve always had a strong connection, and I’ve been open about my long-term plan to move abroad for a better job opportunity, with the intention of returning later to settle down. Recently, she’s expressed doubts about our future. She says she loves me but isn’t sure what she wants. Her sex drive has also decreased, and she’s become more protective of her phone, often chatting late at night with a guy who’s a gym trainer from her village. She insists nothing is going on, but I feel uneasy due to a previous comment she made comparing my physique to his. After reflecting on things, I sent her a voice message suggesting that it might be best for us to break up since she’s unsure about our future. I wanted to see how she would react and whether it would help clarify her feelings. Now I’m second-guessing my decision and wondering if I overreacted by suggesting a break. She hasn’t explicitly asked to break up, and I’m still open to reconciling if she genuinely wants to work things out. Her response was that she was shocked by the message, especially since we’d had a good weekend together. She said I should have spoken to her face-to-face or at least over the phone, and she respects my decision but is open to talking when I’m ready.

My friend (F31) thinks I’ve “abandoned” her since getting a boyfriend (M32), despite my efforts to spend time with her. She wants things to go back to how they were years ago, but I feel like my current level of availability is realistic for adult friendships. How can I approach her without making things worse?

After three years, my boyfriend still can’t commit to a timeline for marriage or kids, even though my fertility is at risk due to endometriosis. His financial goals and vague “when the time is right” attitude don’t align with my reality, and I’m unsure whether to stay and wait or move on. Seeking advice from those who’ve faced similar situations.

I split all bills with my boyfriend, but I also clean, cook, and drive him around. Am I being ungrateful, or is this dynamic unfair? How can I address this without seeming unappreciative?

My MIL (Mother-In-Law) barged into my fiancé’s room, ignoring his boundaries, and later “accidentally” spilled a drink on me during dinner, laughing it off. We’re expected to spend Christmas with her, but her dismissive and rude behavior makes me hesitant. How can I address this?

Me (27F) and my fiancé (36M) of 2 years: His anger and disrespect are breaking me. What should I do? Hi everyone, I’ve been with my fiancé (36M) for two years, and while I know he loves me deeply, his anger issues and inability to handle conflict are wearing me down emotionally. We’ve been engaged for a while now, but his behavior is making me question our future together. From the beginning of our relationship, he’s struggled to control his temper. He gets upset over small things and then completely shuts me out when he’s angry. Early on, he’d excuse this by saying he was tired or stressed, and I tried to be understanding. But now, it feels like he’s saying, “This is just how I am—deal with it.” I’ve always been a sensitive and anxious person, and I’ve explained this to him multiple times. Yet, his behavior has only escalated. He often speaks to me rudely, gives me the silent treatment for hours, and avoids resolving conflicts in a healthy way. When I bring it up, he either dismisses my concerns or blames me entirely, insisting I’m the problem. Last night, something happened that pushed me to my limit. My sister and her kids are visiting us for the first time today, flying in from another country. I’ve been so excited and wanted everything to go perfectly. But during a minor disagreement, he got angry and started ignoring me again. Before bed, I tried to make peace. I said “Good night” and even turned on the flashlight on my phone to hug him, hoping to ease the tension. Instead of responding kindly, he snapped at me to “turn off the flashlight right now.” When I didn’t do it fast enough, he stormed out to sleep on the couch. I followed him, crying and pleading with him to come back to bed. I begged him not to ruin the night before my sister’s arrival, but his response was horrifying. He told me I “disgust” him and yelled at me to “shut the f*** up.” I’ve never seen this side of him before, and it completely shattered me. Eventually, I gave up and let him stay on the couch while I went back to the bedroom, devastated. This morning, I tried to address what happened, but he blamed me again, saying it was my fault for not turning off the flashlight fast enough. He refused to acknowledge how disproportionate and hurtful his reaction was. Now I’m stuck. My sister arrives in two hours, and I feel like I have to put on a happy face and pretend everything is fine while she’s here for the next ten days. I don’t want her to see how broken I feel or suspect anything is wrong, but I’m emotionally drained and don’t know how long I can keep this up. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened. I often find myself apologizing and begging him to make peace after arguments, even when I know I’m not at fault. But this time feels different. His words and actions last night crossed a line, and I’m not sure I can move past it. TL;DR: My fiancé (36M) has anger issues and often treats me with disrespect when he’s upset. Last night, after a minor disagreement, he ignored me, called me “disgusting,” and told me to “shut the f*** up” when I tried to make peace. My sister is arriving today, and I feel like I have to pretend everything is fine, but I’m emotionally shattered. Should I forgive him, or is this a sign that I can’t move forward with him?

My boyfriend forgot my birthday for the second year in a row in our two-year relationship. Should I say something, and if so, when? I'm a 35-year-old woman, and my boyfriend (34M) of two years has forgotten my birthday for the second year in a row. Should I say something to him about it now, later, or just let it go? A little background: When we first met, we were just talking casually, but we've now been in a committed relationship for two years. Last year, he missed my birthday because he was visiting family for the holidays. He said he thought my birthday was the day after Christmas, even though it’s actually on the 23rd. I had reminded him at the time. For his first birthday as my official boyfriend, I made an effort—I flew to see him, took him to dinner, and got him a small gift. I’m not big on extravagant celebrations for myself, though. I don’t expect gifts or parties; I’d be totally happy just ordering pizza and playing Xbox together. This year, we’ve been awake since 10 PM on the 22nd (I work night shifts), and now it’s 6:30 AM on my birthday. He still hasn’t said anything. I’m starting to think he forgot again. I feel kind of silly being upset about this because I’m usually pretty lowkey about birthdays, but forgetting my birthday two years in a row feels like a red flag. Saying "Happy Birthday" seems like such a basic thing, and I’m questioning if I want to be with someone who doesn’t make that effort. Am I overreacting? Should I bring it up, and if so, when would be the right time?
