OK so please talk to me as I have no one else to confide in. A bit of background, I've been with my partner for 15 years since I was 16. We have two amazing daughters together. Since the start of the pandemic my partner has become increasingly depressed, he lost all work etc and has sunk into a whole. When we first met we used to play PlayStation games together since having kids and just generally growing up I've stopped he will still play occasionally. My partner has certain kinks and has always been submissive in the bedroom, this has worked for us Wink recently I've been exhausted and he's been hard to cope with as his depression often makes him nasty. The last few weeks he has been a bit happier and staying up late playing online. I felt a bit suspicious so had a look through his PlayStation messages to find he's been messaging several women acting as their 'simp' a totally new term for me! I am crushed especially as one particular player he's calling his 'Queen, said he's not worthy of her and thanked her for being her, please don't log off' etc. When I brought this up he went mad shouting and calling me a control freak. Things have since calmed down but I can't get over his affectionate language when he insists they have never voice chatted (this seems odd as the messages are practically worshipping her). We have lived like room mates for months and I just feel broken that he could be so flattering to a complete stranger. I am convinced there has been dirty voice chats but he insists he was just so impressed by her game play! I feel dragged down by his mental health and now shat on by this Sad does anyone feel I'm overreacting because I feel like asking him to leave. Thanks for reading x

Well he sounds a delight..Angry

No, you are not overreacting and you are not a control freak for calling him out on completely unacceptable behaviour. He knows he has done something he wouldn't accept from you and is trying to turn it around on you.

I would ask him to leave if I was in your shoes but I have zero tolerance for anything slightly sexual or affectionate with other people. I wouldn't do it to my husband and I expect the same from him.

He’s checked out of your marriage. I would ask him to leave

@DamienHarrison

I will not rush and criticize his actions, although I clearly see that his interest is going out. The problem is not even that he has some kind of virtual relationship. The problem is that he is aggressive towards you when you want to talk about it. I was taught that certain sharp things need to be spoken out loud. But I don't see any dialogue here. Do you have anything in common other than children now? Where can you be on the same wavelength? It may sound a little silly, but there are such simple ways as watching movies in the evening .. You can watch something romantic from this directory. You need something that can unite you, but online games are unlikely to be so interesting to you. Try to think about what might work for you. And finally, I must say about aggression. If this continues, then I would think about parting. Internal aggression in the family is very destructive for both partners and children.
Oh no his online relationship is no problem - don’t be ridiculous Would it also be no problem if she starts an online relationship ?

Of course both the aggressions and relationship he is having a huge problems
I think realistically he doesn’t seem to be able or willing to communicate about why he is having this relationship so it seems over
He needs a good kick in the ass. You can do so much better

Well that’s nice of you to decide that his cheating isn’t a problem 🤨

OP, it sounds like you’ve outgrown him. Are you even happy anymore?

I mean... I think that would be a problem for most people in an actual relationship...

His reaction to you confronting him tells you everything you need to know.
When my ex was cheating and I questioned it, I was called controlling, psycho, bitch, I was told it was all in my head etc etc.
He is 100% voice chatting to them and 100% getting his kicks from elsewhere.

Dump is horrible ass

No you are not over reacting. Online gaming friendships can be very intense and can move from friendship right through to people actually getting together in real life.
