Need advice...

Ok so here is the long story...

About five or six years ago I was living in this duplex. My neighbor was this girl we will call Beth. Beth and I got along for the sake of being neighbors. About six months into living there Beth met Bob. Beth and Bob hit it right off. Bob moved in and soon they bought a house together. Bob is a good looking guy he was young when they met though. She is four years older. Anyway, Bob and Beth broke up and Beth found out she is pregnant. They got back together and got married. Ok fast forward to now. They have been together five years. I have stayed in contact with them both but on a Christmas card go to the baby shower and wedding kind of a basis. Not like hanging out. Well, they found out I was engaged and wanted to meet my FI. We all four hit it off and have been hanging out a lot together. Bob just got a job working for my FI. So, they have been out of town a lot together. Well, like boys do they have been talking. Bob told my Fi that although he has never cheated (sexually) on Beth... he puts himself in situations where he could. Such as going to parties when he is home visiting his family that she doesn't know about. At these parties he has madeout and blah blah blah with these girls. Which in my mind is just as bad as sleeping with a girl. So, now I don't know what to do. I went to see Fi last saturday night and we got our own hotel room. Well Bob went out with one of the other guys that works with them and went to a bar. He claims some hot blonde chick was hitting on him but he didn't do anything. FI says he is going to have a talk with him. I just don't know what to do. I really don't want to say anything to Beth. She is a stay at home mom and totally trusts bob. They are in the process of selling their home because they just bought a new one and trying to have another baby. Bob is really young... but I still don't think that is an excuse. Beth is pretty controling and likes it her way or the highway but that also is not an excuse. SIGH what do I dohuh.gif Sit silently and let things take their toll? Step up and say something to Bob? Say something to Beth? smile41.gif I almost wish my FI didn't tell me.

Yikes a tricky situation. I totally feel your pain because I would want to tell everyone that I think he is being a dog. But since you haven't witnessed anything, I'm not so sure I would run and tell. It could be him talking big to your FI- you know, stupid guy talk. Not that I think it's right, but who knows? Maybe he thinks it's impressive to be a douche bag and thinks his bragging is winning guy points.

 

I think this is one of those situations where I wouldn't want to get involved unless you had to. Who knows- maybe Beth knows more than you think she does.

Ugh, that's a bad situation your in. I personally think making out is cheating too. On one hand, you could say something to Beth but she might not believe you. Then it could also hurt Bob and your fi's working relationship. I think that your fi should maybe talk to him. Let him know that cheating on his wife whose home with a baby isn't a good idea and maybe he shouldn't be putting himself in these situations. And is it really worth ruining his relationship with his wife and baby?!

 

I would probably tell my fi not to tell me, we had a similar situation with on of his friends. I just told fi, if you don't want me to say anything to the girlfriend than don't tell me what her boyfriend is doing behind her back. I just had a hard time facing the girl, i would feel guilty.

 

This is really a lose lose situation.

I agree with Rachel. Unless you've witnessed it, you can't say anything. I will say though, that if you know for a fact he is messing around, I would tell her. Many will probably disagree with me, but being in a situation where an ex-boyfriend was cheating on me, I would've been upset with my friend had she not told me.

ugh...that is so hard. i would have preferred not to know either. I agree with Rachel - I would say if you are not that close to her it seems a little awkward to go to her with that info. Chances are if you guys know something, she knows too. She just may have not chosen to act on it. Sorry you are having to deal with having this info....

That is so not cool of Bob to do to Beth and you guys. Unfortunately though I would agree you cant say anything, its like the old "hearsay" thing. Unless you have seen it yourself.... Is there a way you could drop hints to Beth to get her to look into things a little deeper?

I agree to keep quite for a while. And tell FI to keep you out of it!

 

If you do have concrete proof, say Bob brings a girl to dinner with you and FI, you should tell.

 

You never know though, if they each have such strong personalities, maybe they have some sort of arrangement...I also agree with Rachel that Bob may just be acting macho. I've seen this especially in younger guys or those kinda going through the quarter-life crisis. Maybe Bob is happy, but this isn't the life he had planned so being a ladies man will make him cool?

 

You might want to talk to Beth in general about her marriage, even under the guise of asking for advice. I have a friend who had a second baby to save her marriage and that was a disaster!

Eh first of all- Bob's an A-HOLE! Second- it is a very tuff situation for you, sorry you're confused. I dont even know what to suggest. I'd personally say something to her if it was a very close friend, b/c I know I'd want someone to tell me if Joe was acting this way. Whether he not having sex w/ these girls or not, if thats even the truth, he's still putting himself in a bad situation. And I'm SURE if she was doing the same thing, he'd flip out. HOWEVER- sometimes telling the girl is not such a good idea...it can back fire and you wind up the a-hole trouble maker and your FI gets blamed too, etc etc etc. It basically depends on the girl and how you think she'd react...sorry, I'm not much help huh?

I would stay out of it since Beth is not a BFF. If she was, then I would totally tell her. BUT since she isn't I would just keep my mouth shut and tell my FI to not tell me anymore stories.

 

Like Rachel said, Beth might know more than you think. Women's intuition is a powerful thing.

Yeah I am going to have FI talk to him and tell him I don't want to know anything else.

Yeah you and Rachel are right. I don't have solid evidence... and Bob is such a good dad and husband when he is around Beth.

Maybe he does just think it is cool to be a ladies man. Maybe he thinks because my FI is older and more experienced with life that it will make him cool.

LOL your advice is pretty much what I would have said. I am at a loss too.

Thanks girls. I guess I will just stay out of it. It just gets hard when I go see Beth and she talks about Bob and their plans. I just feel like it isn't my place to say anything. I will have Fi talk with Bob and see if he can make him see that he has a good thing. A BEAUTIFUL wife and daughter. A home and a wife that would do anything for him. Maybe he will grow out of it before it's too late?

    • Just finished building and was lost on heating... [url=https://rjadom.ru/]this site[/url] helped a lot with practical examples.
    • [b]Сайт Кракен – лучшая торговая площадка Даркнета [/b] Сервис Kraken – лучший магазин Даркнета, где продаются разные позволяющие расслабиться препараты, фальшивые документы и деньги, можно заплатить за доступ к чужим личным данным и аккаунтам. Клиентам обеспечивается полная анонимность, а количество магазинов всё время растёт. [b]Покупки на Кракене[/b] На Кракене можно найти такие предложения: • Несколько видов наркотиков – от марихуаны и стимуляторов до ЛСД и кокаина. • Обналичка Bitcoin. • Взломанные аккаунты ВПН. • Услуги хакеров. • Паспорта, удостоверения, водительские права. • Банковские карты и симки. • Фальшивые купюры – в основном, 1000, 2000 и 5000 руб.. • Оборудование и приборы – от скрытых камер и жучков до флешек для взлома. На сайте можно и найти работу. Например, стать закладчиком, химиком или гровером. Можно стать продавцом. [b]Преимущества сервиса[/b] Причины для выбора площадки Kraken: • Полная анонимность клиентов и владельцев магазинов благодаря расположению в сети Onion. • Применение криптовалют в качестве денежной единицы. Это гарантирует анонимность всех транзакций. • Доступ к покупке сразу после оплаты. Закладки уже доставлены – нужно только забрать. • Минимальный риск мошенничества. Проблемы можно решить обращением в поддержку сайта, доступную 24 часа в сутки. • Система рейтинга, которая позволяет сразу отсортировать лучшие магазины. • Доставка в разные города РФ и соседних странах. Список доступных мест содержит сотни наименований. Клиентам сервиса можно бесплатно использовать дополнительные услуги. Круглосуточно они могут получить консультацию у юриста или нарколога. А если появились проблемы – обратиться в техподдержку, которая тоже отвечает круглосуточно. Ещё одна особенность сервиса – собственный форум. Вход из расположенной вверху панели сайта. На форуме есть основные правила, новости и информация от других посетителей. А ещё результаты площадки и раздел для общения доставщиков товара. [b]Способы перейти на Кракен[/b] Сервис, который продаёт психоактивные вещества и поддельные документы, запрещён контролирующими службами. И зайти на него, обычным способом не выйдет. Для доступа следует использовать зеркало, браузер Тор или VPN-сервис. Сервис ВПН – вариант, вариант, позволяющий обходить блокировки сайтов. В том числе – на площадки в Darknet. Преимущество метода – защита связи, возможность изменения данных входа только в браузере или всего компьютера. Недостатки – замедление скорости и небольшой размер бесплатного трафика. Второй способ – специальный браузер Тор. Чтобы зайти на Кракен понадобится специальная ссылка, заканчивающейся на .ONOION. Плюсы – отсутствие оплаты и принцип «луковичной маршрутизации», недоступный посторонним IP и отсутствующая история посещений. Минус – сравнительно медленный доступ. Зеркала сайта – тот же сайт, который расположен по другому адресу. Отсутствуют отличия от основной страницы. Есть возможность запуска в обычном браузере. Зеркальные версии будут работать, даже если временно недоступен официальный сайт. Недостаток зеркал – трафик не скрывается, а посетитель может попасть на фейковые страницы. Потому список зеркальных версий следует брать на надёжных сайтах. Есть такой перечень на наркошопе Kraken https://kraken-v2tor.info/magazin-kraken-v-telegram.html и тематических форумах. [b]Регистрация [/b] Чтобы пользоваться сайтом нужно пройти регистрацию. Это позволит совершать покупки, использовать форум и дополнительные услуги. Для регистрации нужно выполнить несколько несложных действий: 1. Зайти на сайт и указать проверочный код. 2. В форме регистрации ввести логин, пароль и имя. Логин – английскими литерами. Имя вводится и на русском. 3. Завершить регистрацию и подтвердить согласие с требованиями площадки. После регистрации идентификаторами можно пользоваться для входа в кабинет. Здесь показываются данные о заявках и оплате, предложениях скидки, настройки аутентификации. [b]Совершение сделки на сайте[/b] Совершить покупку на сервисе Kraken можно за несколько простых шагов: 1. Указать населённый пункт в выпадающем списке. По умолчанию там стоит место, выбранное при первом входе. Можно указать метро и район города. 2. Найти нужную категорию в меню слева. Указать вариант доставки – например, закладку или прикоп. 3. Познакомиться со списком доступных магазинов. Выбрать подходящий вариант и перейти на его страницу. 4. Познакомиться с отзывами. Если покупателя всё устраивает – перейти к покупке. 5. После перехода к форме заказа указать подходящий вариант. Это может быть Биткоин, карту или телефон и даже игру в рулетку. 6. Получить адрес клада и взять товар в указанном городе и районе. 7. Написать отзыв, чтобы другие посетители знали, что товар качественный – или были проблемы. 8. Запомнить магазин в «Избранное» чтобы было проще заходить из профиля. Покупая товар, стоит познакомиться с особенностями сделок. При появлении проблем покупатели могут открыть спор где будут участвовать админы. Правда, в первый раз купить можно только на криптовалюту BTC. Если выбран вариант «рулетка», открывается доступ к игре. Это даёт шанс заплатить меньше, делая ставки на поле из 100 клеток. Ещё один вид экономии – купон. Он подходит для оплаты не больше 50процентов стоимости покупки. [b]Гарантии отсутствия обмана[/b] Обращение на Кракен позволяет рассчитывать на качество продукта. Показать клиентам, что вещества соответствуют требованиям сайта, продавец может, заказав сертификацию. При прохождении проверки сведения о сертификате будут показаны вверху карточки. Гарантия отсутствия обмана – возможность подтвердить заказ в течение 24 часов. Когда покупатель убедился, что клад на месте, он закрывает сделку. Если возникли проблемы – можно открыть спор. Когда виноват продавец, средства будут возвращены клиенту. У магазина ухудшается репутация, а частый обман приводит к бану. Поэтому некачественного товара на торговой площадке практически нет Отзывы kraken shop Kraken маркетплейснарковалютная наркомаркет Kraken Рынок Кракен наркорынок Кракен в анонимной сети kraken market резервный адрес Kraken даркнет маркет Долгопрудный Площадка Кракен в тор Kraken даркнет маркет Сыктывкар Kraken даркнет маркет Арзамас Kraken даркнет маркет Владимир Кракен Казан Читаева магазин Kraken даркнет маркет Севастополь наркорынок на Kraken Веб-сайт Кракен Kraken трейдинг Магазин Кракена Kraken наркорынок Кракен сайт Москва как войти на сайт Кра?кен официальный

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
