I think that ghosting is incredibly hilarious because people who do it think they're being some sort of ice cold self confident assured robot but really they're just cowards and unable to act like adults

That dude is way more respectable than guy who got cheated on and is maybe contemplating having an argument with his girlfriend about her going to a wedding with the guy she cheated on him with.

The more briefly that post gets summarized the more it sounds like she's marrying some other dude and the /r/ poster is still wondering if the relationship is over

it's when you pretend to convince/trick models into making out with you after 10-15 seconds of conversation and then compile that into a video so you can then sell your method to idiots for $29.99/mo


actually it's loving genius cuz then if it doesn't work he can always just give some dumb reason as to why (lose weight, dress better, oh girls in your town must just be uptight).

given that homie took a promotion at work which entailed so many extra hours that there isn't even time to gently caress your wife and presumably did so without discussing it with anyone and is now amazed that she is unhappy (obviously, since she started to say gently caress it regarding the household chores and stuff) and instead of trying to communicate with her and figure it out he just shrugs and goes 'is what it is' and gets confused and suspicious when she tries to sex him while saying 'I have needs too wtf'......

odds are she isn't cheating on him... but either that or a 'I'm leaving' is def coming. Like guy the problem isn't that she tried to gently caress you, the problem is you haven't been intimate in 5 months and you don't seem to really care.


either you're equally at fault or your increased work load is what initiated it, you can't have it both ways.

I can't find the study right now but I recall reading that if you genuinely had the suspicion your partner was cheating on you, you had a greater than 50% chance of being right. The fact that they feel off to you is often you just subconsciously picking up subtle changes in their behavior.

Also, apparently it happened at year 2 into their 3 year relationship, so she's taking a long rear end time buying them tickets.

yeah alright but on the other hand maybe her behavior has changed because his new work hours means she has to raise the kid and clean the house and cook all by herself while dude isn't even throwing her a bone once in a while

It wouldn't surprise me if she was cheating, though, yeah.

My [42F] son [15M] wants to go live with his sister [20F] because his girlfriend [15F] cheated on him with & left him for his brother [17M]

quote:

Hi everyone, first time user. I have been up all night, the tension in my house you could could cut with a knife. I am having trouble with this situation. I cannot even get a full day of work in from home, I have to keep my boys from killing each other.

My daughter Trish attends college and she has her own apartment near campus. She has a roommate Sophie, and he has been asking them both is he can move in with them. They seem to be OK with it, but I am not so much OK.

The problem
My son Eric had a girlfriend Kristen, they dated for about a year. Last week I heard my sons fighting big time, they were shoving each other into things, trying to hit each other and I broke it up. Kristen cheated on Eric with his older brother Daniel. Dan and Kristen are now dating and Eric is miserable.

Eric does not want to go to family counselling, he walked out of the building when I took them both. Eric does not want to talk to Daniel, he locked Daniel out of the house when I had to go into the office. Daniel shoves him and they cannot be in the same room without fighting/throwing an insult.

Eric wants to move out and I don't know what to do. Should I let Eric the 15 year old move out or is there another way? I love my daughter but she is a college student and she likes to party. I don't feel comfortable with my 15 year old living with college students.

But at the same time Eric is miserable with Daniel here and my boys are at each others throat constantly. Eric does not want counselling or therapy, as I stated earlier he would just walk out of the room.

I have no idea what to do, their father is out of the picture. I don't know where he is, all I know is he is living in NYC now with his girlfriend.

tl;dr: Sons girlfriend cheated on him with his brother and is now dating his brother. He wants to move out and live with his sister who is a college student.
Today is the day of excellent titles where you don't even need to read the post to be highly entertained.

And for the record, the 15F in the story isn't allowed in the house anymore.

I kind agree with Moridin though. Kissing some guy for a youtube video is no big deal. The only big deal is the girls in those videos are usually paid because the entire premise is stupid and it's designed to be porn for children on youtube. Kinda like the Sears catalog was in the 90s.

You should be a good mom and tell the older brother to break up with that girl and admonish him for being so loving cruel to his own blood.

like how is that not the obvious solution there, the younger bro is completely in the right

Maybe the problem is that I have no idea what these Youtube videos are but Moridin appears to be 100% convinced that the roundabout deus-ex-machina sitcom resolution explanation is correct and people are being stupid for taking the Occam's-Razor approach to "my girlfriend made out with some douchebag on camera"

like she has an IMDB page and it has "actress, kissed some rando for Youtube" on it and it's her big break and everything's finally coming together

nope lol I'm just laughing at that retard for breaking up with his apparently smoking gf (because they are all smoking on those vids) of 3 years without a single word or explanation because he's shaking with rage over her kissing some fool as part of a gig

she prolly only got a couple hundred bucks at most and she figured she'd better just not say anything bc BF would trip out (which is dishonest, yeah) and she hosed up but lol this dude is also being a fuckup

How is it the big C-BOMB when:

(1) It was in public for a video
(2) She doesn't know or hang out with the guy
(3) It was meaningless

Maybe I'd feel a bit jealous in response, but guess what: life is full of emotions both negative and positive and the ridiculous hugbox mentality of "If I feel anything bad at all ever it's completely unacceptable" is dumb as hell.

I'd probably break up with her for being an idiot and thinking it was a "cool" thing to be a part of. But the kiss itself is irrelevant to me. If she kissed some guy who was her "friend" or was cheating in some way then sure. But just the action of a kiss? Lmao. Lighten the gently caress up. That video existing would be no different than a video existing of her with some random guy she kissed before she met you. There's nothing there.
