Okay. Long story but I'll cut it down. Been married for 3 years now, we have an 18 month old son together. I'm from London.

Last night over tea my husband told me he married me only to get British citizenship. He's Australian, I'm British.
He told me he'd married me to get citizenship, said he'd be persecuted for being gay, and Indian and that in Australia, he'd be persecuted for being gay so he fell for me, he said that he loved me, just not in the sex way, and that he was gay, said he needed British citizenship. He told me how Australia was really anti-gay and anti-Indian, said you wouldn't want to go to Brisbane, told me how Americans were hated in Brisbane, and that Indian people were called "loving mongrel whores" there.

I was upset, angry and it's only 24 hours since he told me this. I feel like my marriage was a fraud.
We met at a friend's party, he told me he was an Australian working for a major firm in The City, been in London for 2 years.

I'm now upset and angry and wondering what the hell to do, worrying about what's best for my son.

tl;dr: Husband admitted he married me just for British citizenship, admitted he was gay, claimned persecution, what now?

I feel like we have a decent relationship most of the time. I am not the most confident guy most of the time and this certainly has had an effect on our love life. I would give it a 6/10 most of the time.

She has told me strait up that she needs more satisfaction in the bedroom. She met two guys when she was out with girlfriends who said she was "animalistcally attracted to." The guys offered to take her to a hotel room and have sex with her at the same time. She says she said no, but did get one of thier numbers and they have been texting since Saturday. (she refuses to let me see the texts)

I do appreciate that she was honest about her feelings but I don't exactly feel like her having a threesome with two other guys would be the confidence boost I need in my life.

She has said that she is not happy and is willing to work on our relationship AFTER she goes through with the threesome. If I don't let her do it, then she says I need to be out by the end of the week.

tl;dr: wife wants a threesome without me involved. As stupid as this sounds, do I let her do it for the good of our relationship?

Son, I've got news for you: your wife wants to have another threesome without you involved.

Sever, indeed. I will never understand how anyone reaches a point in his or her life where this isn't met with an immediate, "There's the door. Tip the gently caress on out it."

This is prime cut, right here:


Holy loving lol. These are mostly fake, right? The world can't be that full of people who are such utter doormats.

Hahahaha holy poo poo. First one I clicked was just amazing.

Guess who's driving me home

Fat Shat Sings posted:

I bet plenty are fake but I know plenty of doormats like that.

I have a good friend who married a gay man because he was having a mid life crisis and didn't want to be alone (and she sees being miserable as proof you are in love) so hes just constantly loving dudes and they have a huge fight every few months where she demands he stops, he promises he just needs one more "weekend to be free" goes and gets railed by a bunch of dudes, then the cycle repeats itself. She doesn't talk to me anymore because I kept saying her husband was gay.

Also any partner in the history of the world that's married or fallen in love with an alcoholic/addict, a violent person, a cheater or any combination of the three but goes into doormat mode immediately explaining however they can why getting their rear end beaten, getting screamed at, getting cheated on, getting robbed for pill money or whatever is perfectly acceptable for _________ reason.

My Ex actually beat me up one time because I found out she had some guy old enough to be her grandfather taking her out while I was at work, buying her clothes, outright giving her money and asking for sex. When I told her that it wasn't cool she said I was too controlling and wanted to restrict her and when i wouldn't drop it she just kept hitting me and I'm just like "this is fine, she's tiny, she's mad, I guess I am out of line for not dropping it, it doesn't hurt too bad, okay it kind of hurts now but shes like 100 pounds, okay loving stop it, jesus" yet I still stayed with her. Eventually I couldn't take the lies though but I put up with poo poo like that for years from her.

Lol yeah it's impossible for a site with a readership of millions of people that there could be a few dozen stories of doormats whereas this tiny forum already has multiple anecdotes of the same

some people have imaginary friends and the internet has brought them together to bathe in their delusions. That person's imaginary friend drove them home, except I'm sure they got into an argument along the way and their tulsa tulip didn't wind up driving. Probably forgot their sunglasses or something, you know?

1) Calling this forum "tiny" is patently stupid, even in its decline
2) Once you eliminate the obvious trolls, and the stories which turn out to be stolen from reddit, what's left here are occasional run-of-the-mill stupid relationship stories, not constant top-tier gold crown insane relationship stories, and those are spread out over, what, fifteen years? Reddit produces them fast enough for us to post more in here every single day.

The story most of us are currently discussing turned out to be a copy/paste from reddit to reddit. So, stories that nuts are apparently rare even on reddit. It stood out here, and it stood out enough on reddit for someone to bother reposting it. It's reasonable to doubt that reddit produces stories of that caliber in the volume we're seeing without a fair number of them being creative writing exercises.

I know my reaction to poly people is always "the sheer BALLS it takes to etc etc etc"

but holy hell the sheer BALLS it takes to tell your spouse "I'm kicking you out of our house for not letting me get railed by two other dudes"

like, if you're the one being unfaithful the least you could do is move out yourself, Christ

I mean "I'm willing to work on our relationship AFTER I force you to let me cheat on you" has already been covered, but wow on that one too

kaschei posted:

The power dynamic is never against the person making extreme demands because if it were they wouldn't make such demands. Like the woman who wanted to open a relationship but got shot down hard and meekly agreed that this wouldn't be a problem; it took all her balls to even broach the topic, and they obviously didn't swing hard enough to give her partner a second thought.

loquacius posted:

like, this lady never even said the word "polyamory." She didn't get sucked into an ideology built around convincing her that sleeping around was her God-given right, she just met a couple dudes at a bar and no further justification was needed

Uh, excuse me, I believe that she said she was "animalistcally attracted to" them, and is therefore in the moral right. For humans are just animals, completely unable to exercise any self control.

Hello,
My boyfriend and I were at a festival a few days ago. The last night, we met a cute girl and hung out with her until early morning. I went to bed at one point, and he stayed up with her. We had agreed to meet at 10 AM, at 2 pm he shows up and says he lost track of time.

They talked all night together on a beach and he admitted to me after a lot of talking that he does have some feelings for her. All night yesterday, he was texting with her in front of me. Today, I did the bad girlfriend thing to do and checked the last few messages, they call each other babe and say I miss you constantly. I like you. All of that. I know they're in love with each other but are not going to do anything.

It just loving kills me that he would do this. I've been very down the past few weeks and a bit unreasonable to be around, I think he might have been tired of me already, and that might have led to this.

I'm so scared. What do I do? He's always been 110% loyal and now this happens... I'm okay with him liking her but I'm not okay with him writing it to her... Keeping the flame alive? While being with me?

What do you think I could do. or say?

tl;dr: My boyfriend spent all night with a girl and they fell in love. I'm terrified. He still loves me but I think he loves her too. Just help me, how should I handle this?? How can I handle this?? What can I do to help myself

This is absolutely doing my head in so I hope you can help. I've never posted here before but heard a friend talk about it a few times.

My boyfriend James is a normal, sane human being (well I thought so anyway) with a stable job in the medical industry and has, before now, shown no signs of being, well, nuts. He's also shown no signs of being homophobic in any way.

SO. I am a fairly decent singer and recently (6 months) ago started booking gigs on the weekends at events, weddings, bars/clubs and such. They pay me and I sing covers of songs, do requests, stuff like that. Great, I love singing, I can make money on doing it - fantastic.

Ever since the first gig James came to, we've had problems. He sat through most of my performance, was great when I had breaks and generally seemed happy. A few friends were there too and everyone said I did great. Until I got to a song near the end. The song isn't that important but for the record it was "Let Her Go" by Passenger (you may know it) the song is clearly written about a woman, the lyrics have references i.e. "You see her when you close your eyes" "Only know you love her when you let her go" ETC. It's a pretty popular song, anyway. So during this song my boyfriend gets up and goes to the bar. I kind of notice it out of the corner of my eye but don't take much notice. And he's quiet for the rest of the night until we get home.

When we get home he is angry/pouting and I can tell but don't really know why. So we get into bed and he tells me that he doesn't want me singing "those kind of songs" anymore because it's "disrespectful to our relationship" and "sends the wrong message". I was like WTF. Firstly I asked him to clarify the song, then when he told me which one I genuinely thought he was kidding. Because he surely couldn't be objecting to me singing "her" or "she", right!? No, wrong. He was angry that I was singing to a woman.

So by this point I am now fuming because who is he to tell me what to sing and also this is insane in my mind so I pretty much said alright buddy you're being ridiculous, and went to sleep hoping that was the end of it.
It wasn't.

In the past 6 months he has come to 6-8 gigs of mine and every time I sing a song with reference to a woman in, he storms out. It is causing huge problems between us and I do not understand it. We will argue afterwards about he. He insists is isn't homophobia, but he won't give me another reason other than that it isn't respectful to the relationship. I refuse to stop singing popular songs that I enjoy singing because they have "she/her" in them, or pulling a musical no-homo and changing it to "he/him" (as he suggested - he's FINE with me singing about men but not women - because it could be about him I suppose). I think it's absolutely ridiculous!

So this all came to a head on Saturday night when I had a gig and an Ed Sheeran song was requested. There were a lot of references to "her/she". WELL I'm sure you can guess how well that went down. Now we aren't speaking and I don't know what to do.

I love this man. He has never shown ANY signs of jealousy or controlling behaviour, including if a man has made a comment or something at a bar. He has no problems with men coming up and saying hi after my sets etc. Am I overreacting or being stubborn? Should I just back down on this one for the sake of the relationship?
I have tried to think of any sane reason he might hate it but I can't think of one. Reddit, please help!!
tl;dr: Boyfriend thinks me singing songs with "she/her" should be replaced with "he/him" because it is disrespectful to our relationship
