Search Results: living together

I am on a site called Match. Put bluntly as a woman with self-respect, who hasn't slept with many men, etc., most of the men aren't worth contacting. And it's not for fickle reasons

Men poising like roosters in selfies, hats on backwards, etc. so obviously not mature for their age / likely not responsible & likely looking for flings. Never married but with 1 child or multiple children. "Currently separated" which means most are married, not living in the family home but not legally divorced & yet looking (no wonder the marriage didn't work), etc. As well as "is it happy hour yet", and profiles that indicate there's a problem or another.

Am I being unreasonable? I don't think so. I want a decent partner. I'm on it to get away from the locals of this small town I work in - I am not local - as drugs, alcoholism, etc is very common

And I've been told by a few of the more decent men that women on the site are predominantly no better - dressed skimpy, can't string a conversation together, etc., etc. - than the men I ignore.

I’ve known him for around 8 years. Up until the beginning of this year, I’ve been single. Never really wanted to be in a relationship etc etc.

I am 28 and he is 40. We have always flirted, he’s always been somewhat abrupt towards me in front of his wife, when the flirting has got too much and it’s getting intense he will stop himself and say “I’m married”. He’s always displayed jealousy when I interact with another man. He’s complimented me, he is always staring at me. He has said if he wasn’t married he would take me out etc. One time, he was talking about me in front of me and he said “she likes Italian men but I’m married”

He’s always encouraged me to meet a guy and settle down. However, he does not seem to like the fact that I’m in a serious relationship. He might say he’s “happy for me” but his facial expression and actions say the polar opposite. He is constantly giving my partner death stares, always ignores him (or if he has to say hi, it’s very icily polite), always asks me about him trying to gage if we are still together, when I told him I was buying a house he got very excited and happy - and then asked if my boyfriend would be living with me. I said yes, and his smile disappeared straight away and he became abrupt.

Why is he acting like a child? My partner thinks he’s obsessed.
