Marriage over ?

Me and my husband have been having issues within our relationship and he has finally told me that he doesn’t think he is the person for me and is incapable of showing me the right kind of love or putting in a consistent effort to change . Is our our relationship over ?

Is he right on what he’s saying? Are you guys trying to work through the issues you’ve been having? Just from the post, I wouldn’t say the marriage is over. Reach out to a counsellor to help you guys through this difficult time

I'm sorry to say, but most likely. He has openly told you he feels he isn't treating you right and won't change.

In saying that, could he be suffering from a mental illness?

I’d need more context as to why he said it. If you are constantly asking him to change without appreciating anything about who he is, then why would you want to be with him? I’m not saying either of you is bad. A relationship is built on two people who appreciate each others flaws and gifts without wanting them to completely change their entire personality. There are compromises to be sure and having babies is really hard on a relationship, if your baby is young y’all need to take a break from criticism and maybe have nights where you just exist together without much conversation. I don’t think it’s over, it takes a lot of pain for a man to say he must not be doing it right.

to give more context we have been married 3 years together for 4 years and we have two kids . He has had a history of cheating or talking to other girls throughout our relationship and I have accepted him back because of changes he has made . This time around he went behind my back to talk to someone and was going to meet up with them but things changed and he begged me to give him a chance becuase he was going to try his best to make me happy and now he is saying this . I have always told him I am all in no matter the up and downs and I am positive I am dumb for saying this but I have always been by his side giving him any chances but he is now not wanting to put in any effort but still doesn’t want to separate or get a divorce.

No matter what the circumstances are . when a man says this it’s time to move on because more than likely he already has . It’s mostly definitely over. Life is too short to be with someone whom is saying they’re incapable of showing love to you. You don’t deserve to live in misery. Ask him to move out. Since I’m sure the kiddos will live with you primarily. Don’t look back idc if he comes running back. Cry , get you a bottle of wine and have your mourn time. It will be ok after-while…I’m sorry you are going through this.

I think it is unless he’s willing to work on it through therapy or something. But when someone tells you they’re not capable of showing you the kind of love you’re looking for that means he’s low key already out of the door

Just accept it and move on, instead of suffering if you are able to

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”
