Please respect yourself. This woman does not love you. You deserve for yourself as well. She just wants someone who will take care of her kids. Stop being an idiot.

Separate and move on with your life with someone who respects you. Because I will tell you this, once she finds a man who will stick around after the next time she gets knocked up, she is leaving your ass. And this is after draining you emotionally and financially.

Respect yourself. Find a therapist. And then find someone who will love you back.

I have been married for 44 years. Only once did my husband say anything about my fluctuating weight and it hurt me beyond anything I thought could, which was probably the point. I had a great job, two kids under 10 and really low self esteem anyway. The pressure was immense, for both of us but he would agree I did most of the home and childcare chores. I cried and cried and when he came out of his probably alcohol induced moment of extreme bad judgement he apologized forever. But you can’t take that shit back, you have to make it up in another way. The comparison to OP story is that I knew I needed to lose weight and I knew I would. I gave him three choices, get your stuff together, we will sell the house and I’m sure you won’t want the kids, contest and it will take every last dime we have or the last one, seek therapy for your crappy ass temper and get your shit together. Show me written proof of these therapy sessions after the two weeks you stay somewhere else and figure out if you like being alone. He picked the last one, therapy was a freaking godsend for him, he worked out a lot of issues about his crappy upbringing and we have had a great marriage since. I say don’t do anything rash and try to talk her in to seeing someone. Otherwise good luck and remember, this too shall pass. If you are not meant to be together so be it.

Pass. I think it’s a little weird and wouldn’t do it beyond the usual planning group Christmas gifts or something, unless the in law and I actually do become friends and want to be friends. That’s my personal opinion.

I do know couples where the partner talks to the in laws independently though, and that seems to work for them.

If your bf wants to cultivate relationships across family lines, he can take the lead and start texting your parents and see how that goes.

Spend time with her after she's no longer your teacher.

So when you introduce her two people you know, you can say she's my neighbor or your friend, instead of she's my teacher, and she's in control of my grades, so I have to be nice to her or else she might fail me
