Haha. Almost. My terrible girl was sad and lonely and tired of sleeping alone because her husband was in jail and her Sancho was married, so she never got to cuddle at night. Man I was retarded when I was 20.

She probably wasn't telling him she liked him, she was probably how much she likes him as a friend and he was too dumb to pick up on it

On Valentine's Day? Really?

Really?

Maybe she wanted to have sex with two people in the same night? :shrug:

I bet this is it

It's like the much more depressing and cold hearted version of that story a couple of weeks ago where that guy went over to a girl's apartment on a Tinder hookup date and she invited another dude over in the world's most obvious threeway setup, which he somehow didn't pick up on, and then he apparently got super passive aggressive about some cliff bars and took off, which would have at least been a better way to handle the situation than sitting on the couch and waiting for Chad to finish up

She always calls from her office and I never save her number, I just recognize the area code, assume it's her and answer...the way I answer. This will be important later.

This story is such a great thing because we don't even need to figure out if he's an unreliable narrator (they always are).

If he's telling the story as it pretty much happened, she's a ballsy one and he's a spineless coward for not just leaving.

If he didn't pick up on her "just friends" clues, he's the weirdo who interrupted that couple's valentine's night by staying.

I'll try to keep this as short as possible. But this happened about 2 hours ago. First let's start 3 days ago, I was talking to my crush, let's call her Susan, and we were discussing Valentine's Day plans. She mentioned that she didn't have anything going on so I joked with her and said I should come over with a couple bottles of wine and we can have our own valentines date since we both don't have valentines. She laughed and obligees saying "it would be great to spend valentines with a great guy." So i decide to go all out and get her favorite bath bomb scent, 2 bottles of good Cabernet, her favorite bathe scents, and a dozen roses.

I'm going to guess Derek is a FWB, or somebody she wishes was her boyfriend, and he just showed up on the doorstep.

She had plans with dopey nerd OP, but they were quickly abandoned when the real person she wanted to spend valentine's day with rolled in on a breeze

It's completely pathetic that he stayed and I don't know why he didn't just call an uber if he was too drunk to drive

My first instinct was, they were really talking in there, but on second thought I was probably dumb and wrong.
Now I'm wondering if she's terrible or just completely and utterly clueless.

It would be pretty funny if it turned out Derek was a gay guy who just got dumped by his boyfriend and they really were just talking

yeah I agree, I am absolutely sure they would have had sex if he'd gone in and laid down with her, provided he actually made a move instead of hover handing her the whole night in petrified beta terror

Other possibility: She assumed OP was gay from the start

On third thought, yeah, maybe Derek was just a friend. Who know,s maybe they were talking about her and OP?

I come to the very easy conclusion that they're both having sex.

He was drunk and jealous. It doesn't say if it sounded like they were having sex, or if they smelled like sex afterwards. He could just be paranoid and insecure, thinking his crush is getting her cervix hammered every time he's looking the other way.

Yeah after re-reading it I'm thinking more and more that this guy just assumed Derek and her were loving

Maybe she dodged a bullet with this one?

That's why I think she was hedging her bets, cause how many women really want to lead a dude on THAT much. It's one thing with the stupid "friend date" earlier in the thread, on the 14th of February it's another.

you can't coyly pretend you didn't know the romantic date on valentine's day was supposed to be a romantic date and actually be taken seriously imo

she was trying to have her cake and eat it too

Right? Technically an ex-trucker because she lost her license because of too many tickets, so she was working fast food until she could get back in the rig. That's where I met her. At work. I was kinda sorta dating a coworker.

Well, maybe? We hung out a lot and kissed a few times and she said she wanted to gently caress me at some point, but other than the weird sexual tension and me probably being her backup plan if poo poo went south with her Sancho and she needed a dick in her, no I don't think we were dating.

[27, M] My wife [25, F] of 2 years is talking negatively about me in therapy sessions that I pay for. Should I stop letting her go?

quote:

I'll give a little background info to try and make things more clear here. My wife and I have been together almost 4 years, married for 2 now. She's very sweet and attractive and really a loving and great wife. She has some emotional issues though. Her father was disabled and really unpleasant and abusive towards her (both physical and emotionally) and she developed a kind of strange personality as a result. She has social anxiety to a degree but more than that she just has the issue of having little control over her depressive episodes.

So that issue made the work world difficult for her because she would sometimes break down crying at work or just kind of freeze up and stop functioning for a little bit. These episodes used to be pretty common but are a bit rarer now. I make pretty good money though and so we both agreed that I'd work and she'd be a housewife and eventually a stay at home mom.

So basically the arrangement we have now is that I work and make money and she does all the household chores and support tasks for me like running errands and things like that. She's been going to therapy since I could set enough money aside for it (she didn't have enough money before as her family was pretty poor and she was working very little).

I let her pick the therapist and all and she picked a woman. Well, yesterday my long held suspicion that this therapy = blaming your man for your problems was confirmed. My wife told me her therapist thinks I'm stunting her emotional growth by keeping her in the house all the time and she recommended that she take time to be with her friends more and to travel and pick up hobbies and all that.

The conversation we had didn't go over well yesterday. I told my wife we can travel but that she's not going without me. Then I told her that I didn't want her going to her therapist again if they're going to blame me for stuff.

I'm wondering what everyone thinks about this. I feel like if I let it continue then I'm basically paying some woman my own money to put it in my wife's mind that im doing her wrong over things we mutually agreed to. And now my wife wants to embark on some journey of self discovery, on my dime of course, and that's not going to happen. I may be coming off as sort of a jerk here but I am pretty upset about this issue. I feel like if anything I should be being praised for all I do to take care of my wife. tons of men would never let their wives go into therapy, much less pay for it themselves. So I at minimum want to make her gonto a new therapist, and a man this time.

So what do you think? Am I being reasonable here? My wife is currently upset with me over this but I don't think we have actual relationship problems because of it. Should I just go ahead and put my foot down and tell her therapist she's not coming anymore?

TL;DR:

Wife is a stay at home wife who attends therapy for her depression and other emotional issues.

I found out she and her therapist are talking negatively about me in some of their sessions.

I told my wife that we're going to get her a new therapist and she's upset about it with me.
