I'm not a therapist, but I am a mandated reporter that has to work with therapists a lot. I've only had to report one parent to CPS thus far, when we had pictures of bruises and burns from the parent 'disciplining' the kid, and it still took over 6 months to have anything get done with CPS. If you're going to take the route of the therapist is some cartoon villain, why would a therapist want to go through all the paperwork and effort for something that could just as easily be accomplished by referring out to a different therapist?

Its almost like you have a vendetta against therapists.

Great, so based on your experience, bruises and burns taking 6 months for CPS to respond, do you think this woman broaching that she does not have maternal feelings warranted reporting her to CPS? Because that's what we're evaluating here.

The desire to turn this discussion into some interpretation that I'm the real villain for impugning the character of mandatory reporters by implying this particular one could ever make a judgement call for their own self interest is fascinating - you fully absolve the therapist that called CPS on the woman for exploring her feelings in therapy, and instead attack the person questioning their actions as having an axe to grind.

Tell me about her. Seriously. What are her good features? What are the fantastic things you see that no one else gets to? Who is she inside? Why do you love her?

quote:

Honestly we have been together so long that I am just used to her at this point. Sometimes I am unhappy because of how much our marriage and our life revolves around her. I mean, she bought a brand new luxury vehicle as a status symbol (we are by no means rich and live in a tiny apartment) while I drive a piece of poo poo 25 year old car that breaks down constantly. It sucks.

quote:

I'm a 22 male and I have been with my girl for about year and some months she's 24. When I met her I was 18 and was a virgin. She didn't take my virginity but she had gave me head. We gone separate ways since but reconnected last winter.

When we began talking again I told her that I didn't talk to her because I was a scared idiot that she gave me head and was also my first kiss and I didn't tell her. She thought that was sweet and she started talking about her past and she has a lovely past, was in foster homes as a kid, molested and bullied. When she told me this I asked her if she wanted to take it slow and hold of on sex I would not mind. She agreed and we became a couple.

I was happy with her as I never felt a connection like this with any other girl. With others it would just be sex until I got bored of them and I'll walk away from them. So it started different with her. there was no sex but she would still give me head and I was goddamn ok with that. I would go to her apartment and we would smoke play video games and watch netfix. I really enjoy her company. But the no sex was eventually getting to me and I would ask her about it and she would say that she's waiting for a right moment. She would want me to open up to her all the time and i sometimes would but i usually hate taking about myself. She would tell me that she has secrets and would eventually tell me. I started talking to other girls on my phone and see if I can get a one night stand. (Didn't say I was perfect) she found out and I basically turned it around on her saying we been together for so long why are we not having sex then she starts crying and said that she's transgender.

For a whole year we've been together and I did not know this. I could tell that it was very difficult for her to come to terms with it and that she didn't want to be labeled as transgender. I told her I still loved her and that if I would be lying if i didn't. Although it bugged me that she waited so long to tell me I though I could give it a chance. I never been with a trans and don't consider myself gay and still don't I only liked girls. I remember before when I was 18 I started talking to a girl and she mentioned she was trans and I told her I wasn't comfortable with that and we stopped talking. Would that have happened if she told me in the beginning? Maybe I'm not sure. But I decide to continue with the relationship.

Edit: After she told me we had sex and in fact she was really excited about it. That she could finally express her sexual emotions to me. That she waited so long for it. I was also happy I could finally get some.

A week later my close friend asks me about my girlfriend saying she looks transgender and ask if she had a sex change and asked if I'm gay and I just deny everything. That was probably the most uncomfortable experience I've had. To lie about my girlfriend and for her because she begged me not to tell anyone and that I should deny it if confronted about it. I didn't tell my girlfriend about it because I knew it would hurt her but one day she looks at my phone and sees a message from a random girl we both don't know. The girl says that she knew I was gay and that my girl was transgender. I didn't read the messages but my girl blocks her and confronts me about it and says she's sorry that I have to go through her burden. That's when I tell her about my friend and I tell her how uncomfortable it was for me and that I hope I never go through it again. I know I shouldn't care what other people think but I really couldn't shake it off and what if my friend asked me before my girl confessed about it. I wouldn't even know how I would respond. It makes me think about all the times we spent together seems like a lie even though i was happy. And on top of that if my parents found out about her secret I think they would freak out because I already know about their opinions about gay people and its not good. She asked me if I wanted to break up with her and I told her I don't since I really care for her like no other person. But I don't know if I could go through with it. Im not sure about our relationship anymore and that's not fair to her. She's so sure that she loves me and if I end it she told me she will never find love and she's tired of it all. I'm just really worried about her and I don't think she handle it all on her own and i know she wants me to be with her forever. She really had a troubled life and there's some things that I didn't even mention but I really not sure what to do about us. I'm just trying to find some insight here or some thoughtful opinions because I really can't turn to anyone without judgement.

TL/DR My girlfriend of one year just told me shes transgender and I'm afraid of my familiy finding out they could kick me out or disown me and not sure if I could go through with it.

[Using a throwaway for what I feel are obvious reasons]

We've been together since middle school so we've grown a bunch together in the 10+ years we've been in a relationship. In all honesty it seems to get better with time as crazy as it sounds. We typically communicate really well with each other and argue very minimally. I honestly have very little complaints.

Before I get into the serious detail about the situation I should explain a few things first. I'm totally cool with nudity and I never have had serious jealousy issues. She did some nude modeling before while we were together a few years ago (it was thoroughly discussed and I was totally cool with it) and sometimes she'll post pics of her body up on tumblr or instagram (again I'm pretty cool with that because I really love her body and I feel she should feel good enough about herself to post it if she desires). Her tumblr consists pretty much of just porn and we're both cool with porn too. No issues there. I don't do the same thing myself (posting nude or implied nudes). However, my job does require me to occasionally work on genitals of both males and females. She puts up with this well and has accepted it but not for a while (understandable to me). I have had to work on her jealousy over our relationship but she has gotten much better.

I don't keep tabs on her or anything like that. When she's out with friends (which is rare because we're both pretty introverted) I just ask that she lets me know if she needs me and when she is coming home but other than that I'll let her tell me the rest if something needs to be discussed. If I'm going to trust someone that is what I intend to do. We are really honest with each other. There have been times that women have tried to clearly get with me and I tell my fiance about it even though I can tell it bothers her. I've never done anything and I never will. I just know myself and I can control myself. She gives me her trust but like I've said she's struggled with it and that's okay. I understand it. I feel this info is quite relevant to our situation since I don't feel it's super common among most relationships to be cool with nudity and having friends that are the opposite sex.

So over the last few 3 months or so I was trying to encourage her to find something better than the dead-end job she was miserable at for the last few years and only making a dollar above minimum wage. Long story short she ends up finding something new that she enjoys quite a bit more and they treat her much better. Mentally her health seemed better and I was really happy for it. She's been working there for only a few months now and I started to pick up on a guys name a lot (We'll call him Tim). I'm quite observant so I just keep making mental notes. They're texting and sending each other memes on instagram. I don't think much of it until it starts to become pretty common. I continue to not question anything and give the benefit of the doubt and then earlier this week she sits down telling me she needs to tell me some things that are giving her guilt.

At first she's just telling me she posted some nudes with her face in it on her tumblr. Okay, whatever. I'm cool with that. She then proceeds to tell me that Tim and her follow each other on tumblr and he does the same thing too (posting nudes). I started to get that churning feeling in my stomach but I hold back from saying anything because she's just spewing words out her mouth while I listen in silence. When I finally say something I'm not too bothered because anyone can look at that I tell myself. But it is weird to me that they follow each other doing the same thing. I proceed to ask if there is something I should be concerned about and she proceeds to say no. I then start to pry and get details.

I ask if she sent them directly to Tim. She said no, not the nudes. She pauses and then tells me that she sent him a picture of her bikini she got that was new. I said while you were dressed in it? She said yes. I ask for an example and it's basically a picture of her rear end. I asked why not just the bikini while you weren't wearing it but she proceeds to say she already had it on when they were texting about it. My stomach proceeds to churn because it was only him that got it and to me that seems like an open invitation.

I pry more to get more details that she's clearly seeming to withhold from me and over the next few days I learn worse things. All night my mind starts racing about what else there may be so I eventually wake her at 1am and I ask to see her phone and all the messages. She deleted it all. My feelings get worse. Surely now there is something to hide although she says she felt so guilty she didn't want to see it anymore. While I can understand that she had to know I would inquire about it. My feeling just start getting worse and worse. She crying and pleading with me at this point and I'm telling her to spill it all to me. We eventually go to sleep and the next morning I wake up so early because I can't sleep that I try to recover deleted texts from her phone when she's sleeping. I wasn't able to get anything though. I felt I had sunk so low having to check her phone like that. I NEVER do things like that.

As days go by I learn more and more. She posted a picture of her sex toys on tumblr and apparently Tim proceeds to say "It would be better with you in it." or something along those lines. She then apparently comments on one of his pics in a similar way saying it would be better without his pants on. That is what hit me the hardest. I told her right then she cheated on me emotionally and I'm still torn apart by it. There were some other things but those were the worst of it. Saying that he misses her when he was on vacation and touching her thigh when her coworkers go out and have a drink.

She very specifically says nothing physical has ever happened and she just justified it because our relationship is a bit more accepting of nudity and sexuality. The only reason I haven't left her is because she told me and I would have been completely oblivious otherwise. She's seeming more distraught than myself. She sent Tim a text the same day she fessed up to me saying they needed to distance themselves from one another and she won't be hanging around him any longer. She's begging me to stay with her. Waiting on me hand and foot to try to make up to the pain she caused me. She even fainted the next day at work because she had a panic attack thinking about it.

She IS a good person. I wouldn't have stayed with her this long if she wasn't. I pride myself on being a good judge of character. I don't have toxic people in my life. I just feel so betrayed though. I have already made the decision to not break up with her so I'm not really searching for advise on that but maybe someone has gone through something similar? Or anyone to just listen to what I have to say. I can't tell this to people I know because it's just too complicated and it's easy to get a friend to hate on an S.O. for something like this. So I haven't told anyone.

Sorry for the long text and thank you to anyone who reads and responds. I'm typing this up just before work so I'm sorry for any grammatical errors I made but I don't have the time to proof read it.

tl;dr: Fiance sent pictures of her butt in a bikini and commented on her coworkers sexual pictures saying it would be better without pants. He has made similar comments as well and has clearly tried getting with her well knowing she's in a long term relationship. Please read the whole thing if you're reading this because our relationship is a little more accepting of nudity and sexuality.

I'm... I'm afraid you lost me there.

My (25M) wife (24F) of 2 years has a bad attitude and we are losing friends because of her drama queen ways.

quote:

He said that him and his wife were tired of my wife and her terrible attitude. She tries to start so much drama with them, she talks so much crap about everyone around us, she complains way too much about everything, and she has lately taken to comparing our life and our good fortunes to theirs. He said that they really tried with her but they just couldn't take it anymore and no longer wanted to hang out with her around. Of course, I stuck up for my wife and told him that's just the way she is, but he said that they were done. I said okay and told him that we couldn't be friends anymore if they were going to disrespect my wife. He was sad but agreed.

quote:

We have a ton of issues, more than I want to go into with just one post. The biggest headscratcher for me is that she has a fundamentally different view of the relationship than I do. It's to the point that I don't know if I'm completely blind to my own shortcomings, she's gas-lighting me, or maybe that she has actual cognitive difficulties. I'm not a psychologist so I don't know. Also she's refused any couples or individual therapy on multiple occasions, because she says I'm the problem in the relationship, not her. I'm the one who needs to change, not her.

Example 1: We're together because of an unplanned pregnancy, to be perfectly frank. Our toddler daughter is absolutely wonderful, and I wouldn't give her up for anything in the world. She was conceived because my wife (GF at the time) decided in 2013 that she wanted to have a baby. We were using the pull-out method that particular night. She was straddling me, and when I gave her the agreed-upon signal to move as I was about to climax, she instead locked both legs around me and said she was ready. The next day she refused to take the Plan B pill I bought for her. Six weeks later when we learned she was pregnant, she had already changed her mind about wanting a baby and immediately started crying, saying, "I don't want this." Now here we are, several years later, married with a child.
Now she's completely switched up the narrative, blaming me for this. A few nights ago she tried to tell me that I'd deliberately gotten her pregnant because I was jealous of another guy who had been flirting with her, and I wanted to make sure she was mine, no matter what. This is so far removed from what actually happened that I genuinely have no response. But she's trying to force home that everything is my fault, no matter what the facts.

Example 2: Once again, just a few days ago during a disagreement she said to me, "your biggest problem is you always want to blame me for everything and make me the bad guy." That's a common thing in many relationships, I'm sure. The issue is that this describes her perfectly, not me. I am always the one who compromises on what I want, always the one who acknowledges fault or apologizes for something. A few weeks ago I asked her if there was anything she felt she needed to change or improve about herself for the good of the relationship. She very emphatically said, "no", that I was the only one causing problems. Then she tries to tell me I never accept responsibility for anything.

Example 3: She also wants me to not have any female friends whatsoever, and I've been forced to end two platonic friendships to try to prove that my marriage to her is more important than any friendship. For her part, even though I've deleted numbers and Facebook friends and gone no-contact, she just says, "I know you're still talking to her, I have evidence." When I ask her what evidence she's talking about, she just laughs and says, "you know". There is nothing to know because I genuinely went no contact. She just wants to maintain some kind of upper hand/leverage over me regardless of the facts.

Example 4: When she's upset she likes to say things like: "you've never done anything for me, ever!" When I point out all the things I have done (such as spending thousands out of pocket on dental work for her, changing jobs so I'm home every night and on weekends, and attending a church I don't like since it's her preference), she dismisses them by saying that they are my obligations as a husband and father, and don't count. When I ask her what she's done for me, she just says that she cares for our daughter. I can point out that that is for our daughter, not for her husband, but she doesn't care.

Example 5: She likes to accuse me of domestic abuse, even though I've never laid a finger on her or our daughter. When I ask her what she's talking about specifically, she once said that maintaining friendships with other women is a form of domestic abuse because it's disrespectful to my wife (I am not making this up). For her part, she's probably hit me with her fist about 10 times over the past few years, plus scratched my neck and forearm with her fingernails. She also says awful things about me to our daughter right in front of me in order to upset me. Our daughter is too young to understand most of it, but each day she gets older and more perceptive, and I know it's affecting our relationship. When I point out that she's hit me and that is DEFINITELY domestic abuse, she once said, "if you don't want me to hit you, you shouldn't do things to make me angry. You deserve it."

Example 6: She constantly accuses me of cheating on her. This started at the very beginning of the relationship, and unfortunately I did not realize what a massive red flag it was at the time. If I travel for work, she's suspicious of me. If I have a female coworker, she asks me a million questions about her, then makes snide remarks about how I'm "off to work to spend time with that other woman," even though I never socialize with anyone from work, or any female friends at all. She used to try to sneakily read my online conversations. Since I had nothing to hide, I let her read everything at her convenience, including all message traffic with female friends, coworkers, and former classmates. She did that for a while, found nothing, then declared that I was just deleting everything so she couldn't discover it. I just can't win against that kind of argument.
For my part, I know I'm not perfect and could be a better husband in some ways. I like to tease her too much, since that's the way my natural sense of humor works. I've dialed it down a bunch, but any teasing at all is intolerable for her. She also feels like I'm not careful enough with our daughter when we're playing, or go to the library or whatever. If we roughhouse too much and she gets a scrape on her knee or elbow, I don't hear the end of it for weeks or months.

If you're wondering at this point why I don't just divorce her, it's because she's made it abundantly clear that she'll move very far away to be with her family, and I'll only get to see my daughter if I preplan everything and fly out there on my own dime, when I can take vacation from work. I might be able to contest this kind of thing in court, but I'm certain that she'll play the victim card the whole time (she's an expert), and with all the horror stories for men in family court, I don't want to take the chance that I lose everything even after spending thousands on legal fees. I feel trapped.

tl;dr: Wife claims I'm at fault for everything, refuses to listen to any kind of reason. I don't know if it's mental health issues or if I'm really a bad husband. How can I reach and connect with someone who is so fundamentally at odds with everything I think, say, and do?

Me [36 M] with my wife [35 F] of two years: I don't know if I'm the bad guy, she's gas-lighting me, or if she's genuinely delusional

I'm still livid from this and I will be speaking to an attorney this week but I just wanted to get this all down in writing because I still can't believe it actually happened.

So I (single male early 30's) bought a house in a neighborhood outside of a large city in TN. I moved in about 6 months ago. I got a job here and after around 2 years of living in an apartment, I wanted to get a house because my employer made a long term path clear to me. However, I think I may have been too quick to buy. My brother in law is from the area and was helping me find a place and he really convinced me to get this house and I pulled the trigger. This is mostly useless info, but some background might be helpful because -

This home was in a HOA. Honestly, the president of the group met with me when I was talking with the realtor and told me how the dues help to keep the communal small park area clean and they also act as a neutral party for neighbor disputes so I thought it sounded great. The dues were low and the house/neighborhood was great. She sent some paperwork when I bought the house, and I signed.
After this, my job got much more busy and I had to work 60-ish hour weeks. On Saturday's I would invite some work friends over and we would have a BBQ in my yard and watch some shows. This was a dream come true for me. I always wanted to own my own place and just be able to be my own landlord.

A few weeks ago I received a letter from the HOA president I spoke to saying that there were multiple complaints of noise "after a reasonable hour" from my home. I honestly thought that was fair so I moved my get-togethers inside and thought it was the end of it.

HOWEVER - yesterday. The HOA president sent me an email saying that my home was ready to be sold. As in she said in the email "Your home has found a buyer and we look forward to you accepting the offer". She immediately sent a second email from a realty company with the further info about the offer on my home. I checked that realtors website and there are pictures of my home with all of my things inside of it. Someone had been in my home when I was not here and took pictures. What the absolute poo poo.

I emailed her back immediately because it was obvious she came into my home, but how? And she said this: "In the HOA agreement you signed, a concerned neighbor may enter your home if there is a risk of harm, or if it might be in the interest of the neighborhood itself". I wish I was making this up. She then said "Because of your repeated noise violations it was in our best interest to facilitate selling your home."

I don't even know where to begin. Did she do something illegal even if it was in the agreement? I know I should have not signed this and it was stupid. But she was obviously just helping herself inside my home for weeks and I just feel like that cannot be right.

Ok I will try to make this as brief as possible I am using a throwaway because I don’t want it linked to my regular account. Thanks you in advance for your input.

My father “Jerry” is going to be released form federal prison in the next year and I want to help him upon his release. However my live in girlfriend “Missy” disagrees with the amount of help we should provide. I want him to come and live with us but Missy does not.

Some relevant information: Jerry has spent the last 12 years serving a sentence for a drug related offence in a different state then the one I live in. I did not visit him while he was away but did keep in regular contact through writing letters. I am the only of his 3 children that stayed in contact with him. I am also the most stable and capable of his 3 children. My sister and half-brother would not really be in a position to help. My sister is a single mom and my brother has 4 kids he is trying to support. Jerry’s mother passed away about 2 years ago and up until then I thought he would go live with her after his release.

What I say: Growing up Jerry was an okay father, my parents split up when I was very young and I would only see him during school breaks because he moved to another state. I have very fond memories of him growing up we would go camping and he would take me on rides on his motorcycle. However he was not what you would consider attentive to my needs. I would often go without food because he didn’t have anything in the house and would go long periods of time without a shower. I remember one time after a visit I came home and my mom was extremely grossed out with my hygiene or lack thereof. It is not like he neglected me on purpose he just didn’t really think about it or understand what a child my age needed.

I really miss having a father to do things with. I love the idea that we could possible go camping or on motorcycle trips together. Maybe he could help me fix up things around the house even. However my girlfriend as well as my long time best friend “Anna” do not think this is a good idea.

What Missy says: Missy has made the case that she does not want a stranger moving in with us. She also has pointed out that if she were asking if her father could move in I would likely not be ok with this. As a side note I own the house and Missy moved in about a year ago. We were long distance before this and she gave up a lot to move to my state so that we could be together.

Missy also says that it is clear from his letters over the years that he is still very self-absorbed. It took me a very long time to tell him I was gay and he never really acknowledged it or my relationship with Missy when I would write to him about it. This bothers Missy.

What Anna says: Anna is my absolute best friend and we have been close for a very long time. She knew me back when I was in a much different place in my life. I have been clean/drug free for almost 7 years now but Anna is worried about what possible influence/outcomes having my father in my home could have. I never did drugs with my father however our drug of choice was the same. I got clean by choice and hard work he however got clean because he went to prison.

Anna also says that I am looking at the situation through “rose colored glasses” that he is much older now and has spent hard time in prison and will not be looking to go do fun activities. She worries that at best he will turn into a huge burden for me.
I need some outside prospective here. I know he is a stranger to Missy but to me he is my Father and I want him in my life as a father. I feel like we have already missed out on so much and I would like to try and make up for lost time. Aside from all of that he doesn’t have anywhere or anyone else that can help him. Do I really just let him fend for himself?

tl;dr: Father is going to be released from federal prison and needs help. Girlfriend and friends are less than supportive of the idea of him coming to live with me upon his release. Trying to figure out what to do.

Interesting story. If anyone else is wondering how it turned out, he posted this about a year later:

Whenever I'm talking to a friend, and they mention offhand the time they were making out with someone, or the time they were in a hot tub with a girl that was topless.

I feel terrible hearing about it.

I should be happy for them, but even seeing comments online about people mentioning sleeping with their SO is enough to put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day.

Public displays of affection disgust me, and I can't stand movies that have a kiss at the end.

I've never had a girlfriend, never been in a relationship.

I'm a pretty attractive guy (6'3"), and people have told me that if I just put myself out there I could probably have any girl I wanted. I've been told I'm a catch.

However, I always fall too hard and too fast for anyone I've ever pursued, and therefor always scare them away.

I understand it could very well be envy, it seems unnatural for someone to have such visceral feelings towards things like this.

What do you guys think? What should I do?

tl;dr: Hearing about other's intimate experiences causes me mental turmoil and I'm not sure why or how to stop it.
