What's with married men with children and pretending to be single?

They are looking for fun outside rather than having the hard conversations with their wives or trying to change how they contribute to the boredom in their marriage. In other words, they are always the victim 😬

Selection bias. Faithful men with children aren’t going on dates with you.

smart

Someone paid attention during law school. Our job is to deal with what's been said. Not read things into it that haven't and then make an argument from there. That would be a strawman fallacy.

On the contrary, I’m a single man who pretends to be married to keep the wolves at bay - defense mechanism, baby…

Hey, give me a break. I’m a child of divorce for goodness sake.

It really upset some men to learn this when I posted it the other day, but lying about being married, in a relationship, having an STD, etc. to obtain sx voids consent in a lot of states...

So if you find out that a man lies to you and the lie was for the purpose of getting you to engage in or continue an intimate relationship, strongly consider finding a competent lawyer to look into your state's laws. This is SA. You could sue them civically and they could be subject to criminal charges. We have to start standing up for ourselves.

Oh, and lawyers don't gather evidence. They're not cops. But they do specialize in it. It's very complicated what can be brought into court and how to lay a foundation for it and they do need to be there to do handle that process, especially in cases like this where there could be loss of reputation and the squabble is not just about money damages because a judge won't let things slide.

TL/DR: This is the Dunning–Kruger effect.

Following. Story of my life lately 😡 I’ve yelled at several upon finding out. Then they’re shocked 🤣🤣🤣🙄

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

Question that could belong here or in the Relationships bowl:

How do women prefer to be turned down if the guy they’re pursuing is not interested. I know men have the capacity to deal with rejection poorly, and I’m not suggesting otherwise. But in my anecdotal experience , women take the gentle “no thanks, not interested” poorly.

I’ve only slept with one person, my wife. I have not openly shared this with anyone because there’s a stigma that I “settled” or I don’t have numbers on the board like a man should. I’m not overly religious, so that was never a driver in the equation. I admit, I do think about the “what if” every once in awhile but I’m honestly getting to the age where I feel I’m beyond my prime anyhow.

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.
