What would you do?

I've been with my partner for 7 years and we have a son together and I am currently 9 months pregnant.

I have always been very close to my partner's family and I enjoy spending time with them. We do most weekends.

My partner seemed a bit weird with me and I asked him if he was ok? He told me that 'he knows I fancy his sister's husband and I need to back off, you seem to love him off and it is so strange'.

I am actually in shock and I can't believe what's coming out of him mouth. We have all been close as a family since I met them and I love them all as my own family.

I said to him this just makes everything awkward now and I really don't know what to say. I obviously told him he was wrong but he said 'i know I'm right'. I have never been flirty with him or anything. I see him as family.

How would you cope with this? I actually can't believe what's come out of his mouth. I've just gone to bed, I started crying because I was so shocked and now feel sick.

I 100% am not saying your situation is the same as I don’t know all the details but I’ll share a similar story. My husband accused me of similar with one of our close friends and was very adamant about it. I had absolutely no interest in this person romantically or in any way apart from part of our friendship group. It turned out my husband was cheating on me and I think it made him feel better to accuse me of nonsensical nonsense than own what he was doing. I really hope this isn’t what is happening with your situation.

Sadly I would assume the exact same thing. Cherchez la femme as they say. Sorry OP. It’s either that or he is just a sadistic bastard who enjoys making you feel wrong-footed and confused. I’m honestly not sure which is worse tbh.

I would also assume cheating, or an attempt to isolate you from his family. What’s he like in general?

He's cheating on you. Also, you have 2 children with a man you aren't married to???? Why do women do this?!

Thank you guys for your reply. The cheating I haven't found any evidence of. I looked on his phone and he works from home so I'm not sure where else I can look. He's generally a lovely person so I'm not sure where this has come from.

@strawberrycreme coming back to marriage, marriage is very different nowadays from 30+ years ago. We had an option to use savings to buy our first turn second home or get married. In this day of age the first was the best option. I don't think marriage would make this situation better or worse tbh.
