A good looking man with wads of cash pretty much is a master of his own domain. But the Op's boyfriend I suspect is as mythical as Peter Pan. This man does not exist. Sorry Op. |
Nope. I'm not detached. I'm just not all riled up about you guys getting all riled up about me being the other woman. I'm sure you don't want me to gush on and on about how amazing my life feels, the awesome berries I got at the farmer's market, all the cute things my dog did yesterday, etc. You're all convinced I have low self esteem and my life is pathetic. I don't need to convince you that it's not. You'll never believe me anyway, so it'd be wasted effort. |
He likely has some weird kink/fetish. Or maybe he gets off on paying for it. |
which farmer's market has the best berries? that's what I really want to know. |
I already gave my guess as to why he married her. I don't care that he prefers being married to her instead of me - he wants kids and has them with her and I don't want kids. So he and I being married wouldn't work. |
I don't think you have self-esteem issues other than I think you should be getting more than you list here. A lot more. |
Maybe not. But there ARE plenty of men just like him in the world; especially where it is more culturally accepted as in certain parts of Europe. |
You're right, we wouldn't. There may be aspects of your life that are great. But your attitude about this 'relationship' is almost pathologically bizarre. Many, many people are telling you that and you're in major denial. I'm not riled up at you, I just feel sorry for you. Honestly. |
He's not paying for sex. He's paying for a relationship dynamic that is different from what he has at home. I am the NP from a few pages back who was in a near-identical relationship. The guy I was with enjoyed keeping his wife on a tight leash financially while spending crazy amounts of money on me. Money was something they fought about and, fortunately for him, he was the one who earned it all so he could use it control her. We didn't have that dynamic in our relationship and he enjoyed doing things for me that were completely over-the-top. As another PP pointed out, guys like this do whatever the fuck they want. Their choices probably won't make sense to you, because you aren't that kind of person. |
What breed is your dog? |
I missed why he married her when he was already with you. Can you repeat that? |
Anyone else thinking about the irony of this guy being an "expert in mental health." LOL, this is so not a healthy relationship, mentally or otherwise. |
Yeah put me in the "this is a troll" camp too. She reminds me of octotroll in how blase and annoying she is. |
OP, do you think he is able to "hide" his keeping of you because his income isn't strictly salary-based? Meaning, he gets paid each time he testifies, etc.? I guess I understand that in a marriage one spouse might not be 100% clued in, but you'd think wife would at least know what his salary, and therefore, the average annual income is (they do have to file tax returns which she needs to sign, right?). |
I love how she thinks that buying fresh berries and having a cute dog is enough to fill her day. Nice sense of purpose. Sorry but she is a shallow loser and her life is just perfect for her. She would probably have a mental break down if she had to make a decision for herself or have anyone rely on her for anything. Good lord. I hope this is a joke because it makes me sad to think of someone this pathetic and delusional. |
