summary:
my informal partner has a huge leverage on me and she is becoming unruly and disobedient
So, I can’t dump her since I will lose millions over months/years
She can dump me on good terms and solve my problem but it won’t happen
So, I can how extert more dominance and control in the household without using violence or monetary control and considering that I am introverted, calm person?
LONG
I messed up big times
My informal partner of several years has SIGNIFICANT leverage over me while she may not know it and it has HUGE financial implications for me (est 500k almost immediate - couple of millions in guanteed future losses over several years)
I can’t dump her due possible adverse implications due to possible retaliation
Gone several times but akienda I get her back due to the said implications
I have literary been grabbed by the balls
If she dumps me on good terms – for example, finding a replacement (unlikely since she has a relatively better quality of life, which can be much better without financial strain, and I will be hard to replace), I think I would be okay
The inner me wishes a single mtgow, non-committing life with babes hapa na pale to enjoy my relatively higher income (hundreds of thousands after all expenses monthly)
taking her back severally and my calm, interverted, and reserved personality has probably motivated her to sometimes be a unruly, provcative, disobedient, and uncontrollable person
I feel like I am trapped
If I gain some GOOD leverage over her (nudes won’t work but I am gathering,
A kid can be a good leverage but that’s an expensive option), she will be on borrowed time reliant on good behavior
I can bully her into submission, else she leaves
biting the bullet and taking the guaranteed financial loss is not ideal for now but I am working on it
For now, I need advice from esteemed elders on how to exert more dominance and control in the household based on the present circumstances (violence (elders wa makofi) will not work … money also unlikely to work in the long-term)
