TLDR: I don't know if I should marry my fiance (47,M) after a thresome
TLDR: I don't know if I should marry my fiance (47,M) after a thresome
If anyone wants to read this, although is gonna be semi long, I would appreciate it. If not, all good. 😂 I'm a 28 year old female,based in Florida, Tarpon Springs. I've been with my fiance for the past two years. To make long story kind of short, around 2 months ago I came to the idea that we should have a threeway with another girl. Why, I don't know. I am attracted to girls as well (not a cheater, just saying why I came to the idea), and I also figured that's kind of every man's dream. Or at least that's what society tells us girls lol. Anyway, yeah, we did it. I thought it was going to be great. (Don't get me wrong, the girl was awesome, nothing wrong on her part nor she wanted anything serious with either of us, it was just a one time thing). But me on the other hand...when it actually happened, it broke me. I realized I made a mistake. Huge mistake. I didn't react at that time because I didn't wanted to make the girl feel bad or like she did something wrong, because she didn't. Fast forward to now, I'm broken. I get random flashbacks of him and her and it just breaks my heart and I don't know how to move on. Is this something that's fixable? And for the people who will say: well, you wanted it. Yes, that is true. But were you ever in a situation where, let's say, Starbucks, puts out a new drink and you're like YES I WANT TO TRY THAT, and you do, and then you maybe realize; ew, this is nasty, I don't want to have it ever again? I'm not comparing our relationship to Starbucks lol, but you get the point. Anyway, thank you for whoever will offer advice/help/whatever. Much love.

I (F28) think my partner (M30) is purposely trying to bring me down, but not?
He compliments me weekly but it doesn't always feels honest.
I remember when he drunkenly said that I'm out of his league. Don't know if it's relevant to everything below, but not sure if he actually meant it as he is good looking, "gym bro" and from wealthy family.
Anyway I noticed that anytime I get any type of male attention in front of him he denies it and acts that a guy is winking for him, his mum, sister or anyone else but me.
Recently he even got into a little disagreement with his brother as his brother said that I was nearly snached from them and how those guys tried on with me just in front of them. My partner denied it and said that "no, this attention was for Sara" (their sister who was walking way behind us.) which alienated me and his brother.
I brought this up later on and told him that it seems that he doesn't care at all, and he just called me jealous and that he's worried about his little sister (F27)???..
He is also one of those men who has a tendancy to glance multiple times at atractive women even when I'm right in front of him and find it hard not to do so.
During my birthday he sat right in front of me and stared at the loud girls and guy behind me until that guy gave him a look which my boyfriend annoucend to me that he got just flirted on, to which I responded that it's most likely that he stared bit too long at one of the girls, to which he flipped and called me delulu.
Then recently before our date I changed my hair color. When he saw me his reaction was off (even though I looked my best) he seemed annoyed by it, saying that I look good but he's not sure and that my bright blue eyes next to dark hair look unnatural. Then few weeks later he said that this color looks amazing on me.
Does this looks like he is trying to make me insecure? I feel like I'm going bit crazy.
TL;DR my(F28) partner (M30) denies when I get attention in front of him from other males, weird reactions to positives in my life

Can someone explain ?
Hello gentlemen ! I already posted a story about a guy I met on Tinder about a month ago and I need the advice of men again because his actions are confusing : Tl;Dr I (31F) met Roman (30M) on Tinder about a month ago. But As I said in my previous post a week before we were supposed to meet, he told me he saw a girl 2/3 times and clicked with her but still wanted to meet me because he had a really good connexion but only as friends. I said yes but.... since then, we have been talking every single day when on the other end he says he doesn't talk to that girl everyday. If he is busy with work and hasn't texted he would apologise profusely for not sending at least a "hi, have a great day", which is, to me, totally fine, we all get busy sometimes.
We saw each other again and talked about his relationship with her because it was supposed to be casual but she is showing that she wants more and he refuse to get attached. We ended the evening in a sauna and he said let's go take a shower it's too hot here. So we ended up taking a shower together. After that I took care of his skin (facial mask, facial massages ect...) but I was just wearing a towel at that point and decided to rest between my legs so I could massage his face.... at the end, we slept in the same bed... totally naked, hugged a bit and that's it. Now a few weeks forward, yesterday to be exact. He talks to me about this girl again, and I told him that I was happy for him because his relationship was becoming official and they would see each other maybe 2/3 a week. But... I actually realised that even if I said I was OK with a friendship.... I wasn't. He Also said that he was happy that the relationship is evolving with this girl but still refuse to get attached I sent him a text not asking him to be with me, just saying that I don't think I am a 100% ok with being friends and therefore I'll take a step back because hearing about her hurts me. He said he was extremely sad, because he really liked me as a friend. And that even if I understood that it didn't not work out between us because he met someone else right before me, it wasn't going to happen even if there wasn't any other girls, because he didn't have the "thing" with me. So he basically said, that our relationship was very particular because he really got attached to me , even more than he had with his best friends but didn't have a romantic thing. At one point he heard in my vocal message that I seemed extremely sad, said that he is here for me and started to also confess his problem insisting on the fact that he is here for me and would be mad if I'm not ok and doesn't reach out. So I'm very confused and I need you guys' opinion. Could it be that he found me attractive on photo on tinder but not in real life,Could it be that he's keeping on the side just in case... As men, what would be the reason you act like this with a woman or would you act like this.

How can I (27F) change my boyfriend’s (29M) relationship with his mom into a normal one?
My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years. He’s a very loving, caring, soft-hearted man who cherishes and respects me, and so many other amazing traits that made me fall in love with him and turn a blind eye to the issue.
Now to the issue: when we met he had no job, and he was fine with it. In our culture you stay in your parents house until you’re married, so he was living with his parents money, he was 24 at the time so i found it weird that he’s still using his parents money, but i kept finding excuses to him in my mind.
Later in the relationship, i found him a job suitable for his lack of experience, and he’s in that job ever since. He started to think about the future and how he can improve himself and find another job that pays much, but he only talks and never does anything to make that happen. I’m in HR so i have connections, and i tried to find him a job at a better place but he said he’s afraid he wouldn’t like the new place and he’s afraid they wouldn’t like him and eventually fire him and he ends up with no job.
When i finally woke up and realized something is wrong here, i immediately linked his behavior to his relationship with his mother. His relationship with his mother is so weird to me, and I can’t understand it, they’re attached to each in a way a 3 year old is attached to his mother, and vise versa. When he’s at his job, she texts him constantly, and he does too. Sometimes he screenshots the texts between them and I cringe reading it! She tells him that she misses him so much and that the house is so dark and depressing without him there, and that she’s crying because she misses him and can’t wait for him to get back. He shows the chat to me with pride saying that his mother loves him so much and that he’s so grateful to having her, but all that does to me is making me feel weird!
She cuddles and kisses him on the forehead and cheeks, tells him how handsome of a man he is, and how much she loves him.
He never goes to the doctor without her, even if it’s something minor, and whenever we’re on a date, she constantly texts him if the foos is good, and if he arrived to the place safely (WHAT?), and when is he coming back home. The last straw was when i found out that he doesn’t go to the barber and that his mom cuts his hair for
How can i change that? How can i explain to him that their relationship is not healthy, and that it will take a toll on ours, and that the consequences of their attachment to each other is harming his life and his future? Should i just leave him because he’s a lost cause? Or is here any hope that i can change him?
Tl;dr: my boyfriend’s relationship with his mom is like a 3 year old and his mom. They’re attached to each other in an unhealthy way, which made him grow to be a big child, not able to be responsible. How can i change him into being a man and make him detach from her?
