sociopathy is a combination of multiple factors that are both genetic and learned. For example, most sociopaths have something called a “criminal brain”. which is a regular human brain just with 10-16% less grey matter. This leads to the usual emotional and mental processes of a sociopath, however, people can have this and still live normal lives unaware they have this.
Furthermore, there are many factors in their upbringing that lead to sociopathic behavior. As long as you raise them properly and they have a loving accepting home they shouldn't develop sociopathic tendencies.
As for your relationship with your boyfriend; it probably took a lot for him to tell you this. If the relationship has been happy so far, odds are it will continue to be.
While the concept of a “sociopath” is scary, they can lead fulfilling and complete lives without dipping into sociopathic behavior.
Idk if you can ever reason something out like that.
The truth is I used to think like that and answer like that, but slightly differently, to me it was like I love him so much, because he has done so much for me, to me, it was like saying, I couldn't imagine someone could ever love me that much. And believe me I was super invested in this guy, I couldn't believe I could feel that strongly or be accepted so warmly. Even now since I am so far detached from this person now, it feels surreal to think I was able to feel that strongly and be so vulnerable with someone besides family.
I believe what your husband meant to say was that you accepted him for who he was, hence the word “stuck around”. Which is exactly what you want too.
Is she on the spectrum in that she doesn’t understand the rules about what’s appropriate in relationships as non-spectrum people are supposed to? If not, then I would fear what other intimate info she is sharing including financial and psychological details. There’s something wrong…
You haven’t been together long enough to impose charges on her livelihood. Maybe come up with a tactful way to present opportunities in her field but it could backfire.
You could put your cards on the table and tell her she doesn’t have enough time for you and you’re lonely/miss her. Not really an ultimatum if it’s the truth about your needs in a relationship.
Not if the kids don't go with her. Since she can't cook, clean, drive, or support the kids functions, he has a valid argument for custody. He needs to document the shit out of it though.
You can’t, not without putting your relationship (partner) at risk.
You need to tell your partner. And likely they will not want you spending time alone with Derrick or at all. He really fucked up, and is sexually harassing you.
Dude you were just on another post with the exact same scenario with a few details changed. People said exactly what’s being said here and you deleted it. You bored? Lol
Think of it this way, if this is how he’s acting now, how will he act in the future should you lose more family/friends (fingers crossed it doesn’t happen for a long long time), you’re sick/recovering from surgery, or even after you give birth and are told to wait to heal before sex? Going off this post, he can’t be trusted.
If someone throws a temper tantrum and doesn’t respect the word no without throwing a fit, that’s not a safe relationship when it comes to sex. It’s going to wear you down mentally and you don’t deserve that.
You both sound too childish to be in a serious relationship. This story sounds like it’s about middle-schoolers.
It might be helpful to take a step back and look at the bigger picture here — is this a person you enjoy spending time with or not? If so, great! If not, that’s OK, move on kindly.
As long as its legal there is no limit. Though I question what kind of compatibility you have the wider it gets.

I completely agree with this statement as well.

You're allowed to date but if your 47 yr old ass is hitting on girls who are half your age then yeah, you're a creep.
Ummm can you say groomed? Wtf. He didn’t smoke in the home the past 4 years?
Neat. An adopted brother. Now tell them about the new guy.
What are you trying to get across or was this just a vent. I'm 100% pro choice but you have to deal with the consequences of your choice, good or bad.
You have two ears and one mouth. There is a reason for that.
Wow…your boyfriend is a misogynist

No, if it requires both signatures then if they split he could just refuse to sign. Absolutely not. Unless they’re married.

Why in the work are you allowing him to make decisions for you then?
And don’t have a baby with him

No matter what way it was this is a betrayal
