DTMFA

Dear Prudence,

My husband is always trying to hang out with other women. He always wants to do nice things for them and go out of his way for them, but he doesn’t do the same for me. He treats me like I’m supposed to do everything he demands and just accept it. When I confront him about what he’s doing and say that I’m angry about the situation, he just ignores me or tells me a story about how he just needed to do a quick favor, like move some furniture, for one of these women. But I know that he’s trying to have more than that because I’ve read his text messages and they are very explicit. He says he loves me, but I can’t take it anymore because he seems to try and do this with every woman he meets. He just seems like he doesn’t care about my feelings at all and just wants to have his cake and eat it, too. I don’t know what to do: I’ve asked him to leave several times, but he refuses. I’m so confused about what he wants in this relationship.

  • He just seems like he doesn’t care about my feelings at all

    He doesn't. LEAVE HIM. 
  • LW, you've told him it upsets you that he does things for others and not you.  He has responded in words and actions that he doesn't care.  

    You can't change him and he won't try.  So...it's probably time to...

  • He wants sex with other women with the convenience of a wife. Clearly. 
    I'm surprised LW doesn't bring up suspected cheating.  

    Also, there are dudes that get off on being 'needed' by women. The 'super hero' complex.  
  • I fear that this is a woman who is in a relationship where she's gaslight and has been told he's as good as she can get.  

    She needs to see a lawyer and get her stuff together to leave him and know that she CAN succeed if she does this.

    I was just going to say cheating, but maybe not sexual {yet} but he is cheating in other ways.
  • Emotional cheating IS cheating. 

  • Being alone is way better than this. 
  • The LW needs to stop caring what HE wants in the relationship and start caring about what they want.

    Namely, a husband who isn't always cheating/trying to cheat and doesn't constantly treat them like garbage.

    If the H won't leave, then the LW needs to start putting together a plan for how they can leave.
