I'm sorry...you are worried about his feelings? You think you hurt his feelings?

I wish you were my age. In twenty years, (if reddit is still around) you should read this post so you can laugh at how naive you were when you were younger.

It wasn't so much of time as it was that one day I realized I shouldn't look backwards to a past that cannot be changed. That I needed to always move forward. And that's what I've continually done since that day. Always move forward.

Well that calls for thorough inquiry. She really should be aware how it makes her look like, so I hope if you do decide to ask more about in the future she will indulge your curiosity. The problem assuming she has told you truth then the question why was she engaged? There is certainly a reason for that some kind of emotional problem that only made her reconsider things when she was engaged.

Otherwise can't tell anything more, because we lack information.

Well he said he would change but, it hasn’t happened and we been on and off for about a year now. But I don’t I always think about that question.

Whats an open masterbating policy?

How are these red flags? Sounds like she wanted to be respected and not just there for looks. She's 25, maybe she had the mindset that those "lustful" days would end but they didn't do she said no. She also has the dude blocked so again, how is that a red flag?

If you have doubts, the answer is simple: don't propose to her

She's probably afraid that it will get back to her parents. What is her religion and what is yours?

Do you not have a job also?

Yes, some people have that as a boundary. It's OK for you to be offended and not want to be with someone who doesn't feel the same way as you.

Regarding how long the secret can last- I have asked her that too, and she said that's a future problem, not right now, because "we're comfortable where we are now".

I have said something along those lines about the consideration of others versus me. She simply retorts with saying the same thing back- why should I care about other people knowing when the relationship is just me and her. She does treat me like her boyfriend when we're not around friends.

Def not a green flag lol.. if she felt that way about both, why say yes in the first place? And why have 2 people proposed by the time she's 25? Is she manipulating the guys into these proposals, and then backing out due to either cold feet/heart?

LMAO you called her mommy, then she sent you to your room!!!! I’m dead, that’s actually fucking gold!

Just roll with it man. No shame, no shame.

>I feel like i should reach out

Don't do that. There's nothing to talk about. Block him everywhere, go no-contact, and find a therapist (if you don't already have one) to talk this through with.

Yes, but that doesn't make your partner your next of kin. It can make them the executor of your estate if you die, but has no protections if you are still alive. That takes a power of attorney and an advanced Healthcare directive. Not cheap.

ETA: Also Domestic partnerships aren't recognized in many states. This is why gay partners want the right to legally marry.

Has anything like this ever happened before?

Would you have been happy with finishing in a way that didn’t involve penetration, and did you communicate that to her?

I'd recommend getting therapy for yourself. It will shed light on your relationship's strengths and weaknesses and then help you figure out the next steps. You and your wife are a team and while I don't agree with baseless yelling and aggression, you both play a role in all the good and bad. Hopefully, she could join you at some point and address her role in things as well.

I think you didn't get all your ducks in a row before you pulled the trigger. You should have looked through his phone to confirm. Any asshole can use a picture of your partner, create a tinder account to catfish someone or to hurt him or you. I think dumping him was the right move for the gaslighting but the jury is out on the cheating.
