Theres a saying where I'm from that goes, “just because you've been into town and bought the thing you want, it doesn't stop you from looking in every other shop window” people will always look and have thoughts, it's whether they act on them that's important
Your mother is an asshole. F**k her. Seriously. She's not the one who's going to have to life your life if you go along with what she has planned for you.
I'm surprised more people aren't talking about the straight up coercion? I'm not married with kids so leaving a relationship sounds a lot easier to me but honestly nobody should have to deal with manipulation and coercion like this. Everyone is saying go to therapy, I say get the fuck out of there before it's too late. I'd be deathly terrified that she would poke holes in condoms or skip pills just to get that kid, which, by the way, is rape. This woman sounds like a fucking nightmare
You are viewing everything with very rosy glasses. He pushed you away because he didn't know how to break up with you. He tells you he still loves you because he doesn't know how to deal with your feelings if he doesn't.
You were broken up for 7 months. He accepted a dinner date with a past gf. I assume you inferred that you were back on, otherwise why would he make very clear, and explicit, that you were in fact not.
Not clear why you want him back so badly, but he very clearly isn't interested.
Tell them what you want to. Keep it brief “it didn’t work out”, tell them a half truth “he cheated and I don’t want to talk about it”. Or tell them everything. Do exactly what you need to do to heal. Just maybe don’t out him to his friends and family. Cos dude ain’t straight.
Thank you for this! I always take so much responsability in everything. I hate that he is trying to make me feel guilty for living my life while I was single, It's crazy

This is a whole essay but just switch the cards. Your wife has a friend she banged in college, would you feel uncomfortable with that?
he makes her laugh at work all day.
Does he work as a clown? I am sure it is more like him saying inappropriate unfunny things and the girl awkwardly saying “Ha ha” not to offend him.
