I think ROTC girl's move would be to "ask for a break" if this guy forces her hand and she can't cheat on the DL.

Ugg there's a thread about a girl in a happy 3-year relationship, breaking up because of her low self-esteem. She's decided to unilaterally leave because she doesn't want her boyfriend to compromise choosing a job to be with her. She clearly is full of self-loathing and describes herself very negatively. All her friends and the whole thread have told her not to do it and she's still gonna do it and ahhhh. They're both going to end up heartbroken for no reason and I'm upset and wtf I read this poo poo for laughs, why you gotta make me feel empathetic heartbreak reddit?

If it isn't one thing, it's another. They just actively hate themselves and think they deserve nothing and that if someone spends time with them then that person is wasting time said person could have spent on 'better things.' At one point my SO told me every single day 'idk why you don't just break up with me, I'm so awful/bad/etc.' Well one day I did lol, that poo poo gets old. Nothing wrong with them either, except for that low self esteem turned into self loathing. Only so much you can do to help someone before they start dragging you down into the muck as well.

Khorne posted:That's real messed up, because he can't control if he goes bald but she can control her weight. What do you think that means for them? Does it make you feel more sympathetic towards the guy or the girl? Not trying to pull a gotcha or anything, I honestly can't decide myself what the implication of that is. Something similar happened with me and an ex when I was in my early 20's. After we accidentally broke her bed frame, we went to Home Depot to buy stuff to jury rig a fix that her dad recommended. When we were in the parking lot she said "Sometimes I wish you were more or a handyman like a normal guy" and that pissed me off, so I came back with "Yeah, well, sometimes I wish you were a better cook" and p. much the same thing happened; she started crying and got really offended.

The problem with a response like that is it indicates weakness and insecurity in the part of the guy. That's the part that really hurts the girl. You are both insulting her AND you are demonstrating that you're not as good of a mate as she was hoping for. A better response would be "sure, just watch me become the next Bob Villa, I'll get my own show on PBS." Agree with her but make it ridiculous, so it's sarcastic-funny.

Once a woman starts playfully suggesting that you might go bald you have to brutally and swiftly destroy her to stay in power. The man from reddit did the right thing.

I mean he made a joke that could maybe be called tasteless, her reaction of making him sleep on the couch and barely speaking to him is pretty over the top. Especially since she fired first shots - what you think men feel no insecurity about the state of their hair? Even if the spouse didn't find it funny it was obv a joke and it should have been taken as such. Give your husband the benefit of the doubt or whatever. quote:About a week ago, my wife and I were laying in bed snuggling and she was running her fingers through my hair and sort of jokingly/absentmindedly said she would leave me if I ever went bald. imo, taking this at face value, it's sexist to suggest the woman can say that to the man but the man better watch what he says in response lest the delicate lady get her sensibilities offended. Turn about is fair play

Tricky D posted:I love all these poly relationships where old school cheating on the DL would be the more decent thing to do. I feel like in some of these cases this would actually be more respectful because hiding it implies that you have some measure of shame or expectation of judgment if your spouse found out about your infidelity, whereas if you tell them to maybe try compersion you're basically saying "I don't care what your feelings are, and I don't give a poo poo whether you know because you will never leave or even object"

Blacktoll posted:I feel like a lot of guys are unprepared for this, for some reason. I think most people have ex's and such they can fall back on for booty calls should they end up single but it's a bit different when someone is pretty openly jonesin for your partner to the point where it's disrespectful to you and your partner doesn't seem to care. We used to get a lot of e/n threads like that but they fell off as our forum got older I imagine.

How hard is it to say "I love your hair"? It's an ego boost, whereas if somebody teases you, you tease them back. The girl said "I would leave you if" and that's not something you just say. She's being a shallow dope and the guy is letting her sob about it because he secretly fears he'll go bald and then her fat rear end will dump him. Oh, I imagine if you cross examined her she'd dance back behind "I was just complimenting your hair!" but then he could just go "Yeah and I said it's a good thing you're not fat." Smdh the things people do for steady sex.

I[23F] feel like my BF[26M] is being rude when he makes comments about my body/apartment.quote:I've been dating this guy for six months now. We like the same nerdy things and can talk for hours. When I first moved into my new place four months ago, he said that is wasn't well built and that it reminded him of his dorm from high school/college. (It's in the middle of a city and expensive too.) When he has been over, he makes fun of it and keeps making those comments. I've called him out a few times on it and he still calls it a "lovely apartment." My [29 F] wife thinks I [31 M] might be gay (I'm not) quote:I have been with my wife for 8 years and married for 3. I think we have a pretty normal relationship and we are both very open with each other.
