it is amazing how long some people can bumble through life in a holding pattern. they have been together for 10 years, yet she doesn't know him well enough to understand if he will be happy with a kid, or if it would be best to secretly abort it. they didn't talk about this very subject when they stopped using condoms? :psyduck:

Yeah uh you're not really selling me on the spiders-as-roommates scenario here

Never had silverfish but come to think of it an apartment I lived in in college had a whole bunch of fruit flies one summer, and my roommate built a few traps out of some mostly-empty bottles of cider and some notebook paper, and it cleared right up. No voluntary spider cohabitation necessary.

He said they were separated, but she's also the only source of support for the husband at the same time??? Is she still paying their rent or what?

The story says she is afraid of what her husband will do "when she leaves", suggesting she is still living with him. Besides, he's been dating her for 2 years in the divorce is "still in the process" for a woman who wants to have a child?

I think this guy thought he was this woman's future when he really was the guy on the side.

He also said "The last year since they have been separated has been great", so they were still living together when he entered the picture, but are not now. "When she leaves" just might mean when the divorce is finalized, and it does imply that she's still part of his life on SOME level at least so yeah he probably should have seen this coming

I'm having trouble figuring out which parts of this title are meant literally and which parts are code for something

quote:

So I’ve been dating Rita for almost a year. I’m a grad student who works 2 jobs. My girlfriend dropped out of college before I met her.

When I met her, she told me she worked as a hostess at a bar/restaurant in the city. After a few months of dating, she told me that she actually works as a dancer. I was taken aback but I understood why she didn’t tell the truth initially.
So far so normal enough, right?

quote:

About two weeks ago was the first time Rita met my family. We visited my parents’ home for a family get-together and dinner. Everyone seemed to enjoy each other’s company.

I spoke to my mom afterwards and she was curious about Rita’s goals/life plans. She pointblank asked me what Rita does for work. My mom is really perceptive which has always been a thorn in my side growing up and trying to get away with things. By now, I’ve learned it’s best just to be upfront and avoid the song-and-dance.

Okay, so I told my mom what Rita does for work and she asked me if I visited the club yet. She mentioned that I should make sure it’s not a front for a brothel because many clubs are like that. I was surprised that my mom’s telling me all this, and I expressed reluctance, but Rita also had lied to me about her job before…

quote:

I decided to visit the club earlier this week. I couldn’t find Rita, but several dancers went up to me for a dance/tips. Some were very leading and trying to get me to go back for something private. I declined but the whole place was skeevy and had a bad vibe. Also when I left, I noticed that there was a hotel right next to the club.

I spoke to Rita about it later that day about how uncomfortable the place was and how it bothered me. Rita flipped out that I visited and she asked why I went. I explained that I thought it would be alright and that I wanted to make sure the place was safe and not trashy. She then mentioned that she bets that my mom told me to go. And well my face was a tell.

Rita’s really mad and won’t talk to me. I’m not sure if I was wrong for investigating, but I’m also pretty sure there could be something rotten about this whole thing. I don’t want to date a lady of the night.
Any advice? Am I jerk?

Edit: I did some limited research online about the club, the dancers including Rita, and the nearby hotel-dump. The hotel and club are owned by the same company. Some dancers including Rita have reviews stating they do extras including 'bareback.' Looking back on Rita's response I think she was lashing out about possibly being found out. I am going to go NC and avoid.

Couldn't find his gf because she was banging some dude in the hotel at the time. But that's not even what's funniest about this post to me. Just the family dynamic and his perspective on everything cracks me up for some reason. I just imagine a move stereotype white kid with dockers and a sweater vest completely oblivious to everything.

The post was basically about them both being nerds and she is really happy in the relationship but she sometimes messes up and is worried it's harming the relationship.

She forgot to crush the ramen, which is how he likes it, and she isn't good at roleplaying in person for D&D.

I just really liked the title of the thread.

Yeah the shadenfreude about the dude being so oblivious is rich, but I've got to hand it to him at the end for basically going "Yeah I'm a dumbass. Not going to speak to her again." You go dude. You go.

The mom was smart though. How smart depends on if you take it on face value, or think that the Mom wanted Rita gone and realized that even if the club was on the up and up, once he saw her grinding up on some guy or giving lap dances, he'd be out.

His girlfriend has been ignoring him since he told her he went to her workplace. He tried to talk to her for 3 days after, and she just kept ignoring him. So in reality, she might have dumped him for whatever reason.

He's definitely handling it right.

The comments are funny too:

quote:

Well, you insinuated that she's a whore and you don't trust her, so yeah, she's probably pissed. Have you talked to her about how she handles guys approaching her for some "extra attention" or what the club and management are like? Asking her to get into more detail with you about what it's like to work there would actually express concern for her well being instead of your selfish fear that you don't want to "date a lady of the night."

quote:

So your mom still picks out your clothes and girlfriends...
This girl is better off without the both of you. Just leave her alone and just ask your mom to set you up with someone.

quote:

Your mom is quite the expert saboteur.

A few things. Being next to a hotel is a coincidence and nothing more. Dancers were trying to take you to private areas because it costs more, not to have sex with you. It's just basic upselling. The fact that Rita assumed correctly almost instantly that your mom was behind this says to me that this is not the first time your mom has meddled in your life/relationship.

Also, this jumped out:

I was taken aback but I understood why she didn’t tell the truth initially.
but Rita also had lied to me about her job before…

So which is it? Do you understand why she wasn't forthright (but did tell you as the relationship progressed) or do you not trust her?

Look, if you're only starting to question things because your mom said so, then you need to grow up. If you have questions or concerns about what Rita does, you talk to her.

quote:

Do strippers double as prostitutes? Some certainly do. I do not know what percentage of them, but it is a non-zero number. That said, what you described sounds like a typical strip club. The hotel being next to it means nothing. Them asking you to go back for a private dance is standard procedure.
So is your girlfriend also a prostitute? Probably not. Could she potentially be one? Sure, but so could any other woman.
Those reviews of your gf barebacking? Could be any woman!

He (26M) won't stop meme-ing me (20F).

quote:

My guy friend has a crush on me. He's told me, and while I can't reciprocate his feelings yet, I am interested.
Or at least, I was before he started meme-ing me to death.
We share a niche, nerdy hobby. When he learned this, he started turning every conversation toward in-jokes about that hobby. Everything I say, no matter how unrelated, is met with loldank memes or him teasing me about how he's better than me at this hobby and so on.
At first I thought he was being ironic or something, so I would acknowledge the meme and laugh it off, but now he's doing it incessantly and it just makes me not want to talk to him.
I think he's doing it for my sake and I want him to stop, but I don't know how to tell him? Like I mentioned, I was actually interested in him, which is why this is frustrating me. Thanks for any help.
TL;DR: Guy I was interested in just talks to me in memes. I'm getting annoyed and want him to stop.
