Knowing how to break off from a toxic relationship, regardless of how you feel or felt at one point, is a vital life skill if you don't want to live out enormous chunks of your life in complete misery. Yeah, it's really easy to be on the outside looking in and say :sever: but that doesn't change the fact that that is exactly what has to be done, and even though she is in denial it doesn't mean that the solution isn't obvious.

Agreed, and I specifically said that in this case I agree. Im just laughing over the cavalier attitude toward long term relationships that pervades this thread (and from what I've read in E/N). This case is pretty cut and dry, for sure.

It's difficult also because there's a lot of messaging out there that people (esp women) are demanding and irrational, and some certainly are, but it makes people afraid that they're the one who isn't compromising enough or who is being unfair.

Is my SO bad with money or am I being too strict?

SO makes about 1.3k a month. We recently moved which was very expensive (flight, getting furniture, paying 800 to get a licence for him, had to pay 300 this past month to fix his car). SO knows that he has to save up for insurance, for emergencies (eg if his car breaks down again) etc. Still he spent 250 $ on hobby of his (a kind of card game). Now we found a cheap car insurance for 300$ for the whole year but he cannot pay for it because he doesn't have that much left. I asked him to please not spend that much money on that hobby of his and instead just save up some money. He said "What do I work for then? I work so I can buy stuff that I like, not just to live!"
I guess he has a point. But it still bothers me so much to see him spend so much money on that expensive hobby (a game)and then not have enough for important things. :( Should I talk to him again or is what he is doing ok?
edit: We aren't married, just boyfriend and girlfriend living together.

is it normal for a 14 yr old boy to steal panties and bras
-
my 14 yr old stepson was found with panties and bras in his bathroom and we believe he got them out of dumpster in parking lot bc they smelled like dumpster -sorry- anyway is this normal for a boy his age to have these things or steal them or hide them bc we found more in his pillow case later that same night
-
This is normal my brother would try and steal my panties to jerkoff into but let him look at magazines that may have some pornographic content it'll make him happy.
-
The majority say this is normal, which is disturbing but I'm not a guy so whatever. My 15 year old stepson has been stealing panties forever...mine,his bio moms, his sisters little sister...now we just found 8 pair plus a bra hidden in his closet. 8 pair. We do not know where they came from. We think his friends sister? Is this normal??
-
boys love panties bras let him jerkoff all day if he wants.. u did!! but momies panties should be off limits, sisie, 2, buy him his own, just dont tell him, leave them in a odd place, he will think he found them, put some lingerie catalogs there 2, he will be happy for hours, its way cleaner!! dirty pantie can spread warts,etc ,boy will always smell them but its can be nasty,boy r going to jerk off like crazy,,,its' better than hookers or who no's give him condoms 2 boys will cum anywhere and leave it like its' nothing ,soon as he get laid 4 real he should be fine!!
-
No, I don't think it's normal to steal underwear from anywhere, nor do I think it's normal to steal anything from a dumpster. Have you talked to him and asked where they came from and why he had them? I think you really need to do that. Used underwear doesn't smell good no matter where it came from - it's possible he got it directly from a girl who was wearing them. This is definitely something that warrants discussion.
-
This is normal boy stuff. He's either curious or he thinks it's funny. C'mon moms, ALL boys sneak a peak at this stuff at SOME point. 14 sounds about right. I wouldn't worry at all. Next is the playboys and maybe a old condoms some friends have been passing around for awhile. I think the dumpster diving part is probably boredom.
-
First of all, dumpster is very dirty! 2nd, I would recommend taking him shopping N buying him some panties N bras for himself, along with swimsuits, N some cute dresses N outfits that are really girly. Then make him wear the outfits all day even out in public, school, etc.
2 things could happen= Some people feel that they should of been born the opposite sex. If this is true, kid would at first put up resistance out of embarassment, then would be happy N accept it.
2nd outcome =kid stops behavior completely.
Either way, if you buy kid some of his own panties N bras, N girls clothes, he shouldn't be stealing things N 2nd of all, just love your son for who he is don't judge him, worst thing you could do is try changing him to the point he will develop a huge amount of anger N unhappiness that he will be miserable his rest of his life.

Enjoy your day! From, Jacey, F, USA

This is a normal thing i would buy your son some panties and let him do what ever he wants with them it is not bad stealing panties at this age !!!
-
It is abnormal but it isn't their fault. I don't know how open you are to this but it's true. They have a demonic spirit of lust, perversion, or fetish that has entered them some how through some legal ground or open doorway in their life and they need deliverance. Jesus Christ is the only one who can heal your son and you need to seek out a deliverance minister. Worldly therapy does nothing it's useless fruitless garbage that only makes people worse because something physical can't solve something spiritual. Peace and blessings

You could get every single card in the game for far less than $3600. Probably less than $1000. You can build all of the competitive decks for $200-$250 or so. Hearthstone is really cheap relative to other CCGs.

On my first couple of read-throughs I glossed over the fact that they paid $800 for a license for him. I'm hoping that was a car registration or else that means Mr. Nerd Hobby over there works in some kind of licensed business which is usually health or safety related.

Me [21F] with random girl in my dorm [19F] making concerning (false) accusations to campus therapist about my relationship- HELP!

I'm a 21 year old female, senior in college. I've been with my boyfriend, 22M, for almost two years. We've had our ups and downs like any relationship, but overall it's been truly wonderful. He's the first person I loved and we have plans to move in together once I graduate.

Without going into too much detail, our sex life has been truly out of this world amazing. We're long distance until I graduate, but when we do see each other, it's sex 3+ times a day and it's amazing. It's passionate, it's wonderful, I can't get enough. We both like some light BDSM but nothing crazy.

I use the Mirena IUD for birth control, aka one of the most effective contraceptives on the market. Since we are in an exclusive relationship, we don't use condoms. We got STD tested before ditching the condoms, and my gyno does an STD check at every visit. We are both clean.

Anyway, after a few drinks one night I was talking to a good friend of mine about how great our sex life is. I didn't go into a ton of detail but at some point in the convo, it was mentioned that we only use my IUD for protection. Like a bat out of hell, a girl I never met jumps into our conversation and begins to lecture me about how irresponsible I am being. Maybe I shouldn't have been having this type of conversation in a semi public place, that is my fault. Dumbfounded, I pretty much laugh in her face, truly thinking she was joking.

Well, she wasn't. She went off about how some STD's don't show up on tests, and what if my boyfriend were to cheat on me and give me something? I told her if I had any suspicion of him cheating on me I wouldn't be with him and I obviously have a huge amount of trust for him. She went on to basically say that all men are pigs and I should be careful. Again, I pretty much laughed in her face. Not very mature I know, but I was pretty tipsy and dumbfounded.

It turns out this chick lives on my dorm floor and is the vice president of our safe sex club on campus.

Two days after this happened, I returned to my dorm to find two condoms slipped under my door and a paper with information about the meeting times/days for this safe sex club. How this girl found my room, I don't loving know. Yes she lives on my floor but there's a decent number of dorm rooms on my floor!

Again, really god drat loving weird, but I brushed it off my shoulder cause I was leaving to see my long distance BF that day, so I was too excited to really care.

That weekend I was with my boyfriend, things got a little more frisky than usual. He ended up taking a neck tie and choking me with it (totally consentual!), which was incredible but I guess I didn't notice how rough it was being used. That is until the next day I had marks on my neck. Whoops.

When I got back to school it was super late at night and I had not bothered to cover up with a scarf or makeup. I went to the communal kitchen to make some tea before bed and and what do you loving know, crazy girl is there (on the other side of the room), and one of my friends too (not the same friend from the first incident). My friend made a comment to the effect of "looks like you had a good time this weekend" and I responded "oh you know it". I thought nothing of it.

A few days later I get a call while in class from a number I did not know, but I could tell it was a university number. I figured it was my on campus job calling me and I waited until after class to listen to the voicemail.

Imagine my surprise when it's one of the campus therapists telling me to call her back ASAP. I thought the worst... I thought someone in my family or my boyfriend had died and the therapist was about to tell me this.

No... she had gotten a report from someone (she could not say who) that they were concerned that I was in an abusive relationship. Someone had some to her saying that I had bruises on my body and that I had made comments to the effect of being pressured to have unprotected sex. WHAT. THE. gently caress.

I told the therapist thank you for the concern but that is bullshit and I am so mad at these accusations and I'm sorry someone wasted her time.

I was LIVID. In pure rage mode I found this girls dorm room and banged on the door ready to scream at her- lucky for her she was not in her room. I spoke to my RA about the issue, and he said that I am not the first person to tell him about this girl sticking her nose in other peoples personal lives, but never to the extreme of my situation.

Apparently, she left campus the day I went to bang on her door to go home and will not be back till tomorrow morning.

How the gently caress do I handle this? This has obviously gone beyond something petty. I wish I could have gotten my RA's advice but when I spoke to him we were both in a rush to go somewhere. How should I proceed? Could I get her in trouble for this?

TL;DR- girl is making serious and false accusations about me to the higher ups at my university.

quote:

Me [45 F] with my Spouse [46 M] married 21 years, Spouse refused to stand up for me.

We were having lunch with my husband's parents and his sister when a question came up regarding taxes.

My husband was commenting at brunch that we'd had to pay taxes in multiple states last year because I consult in areas all around the country. My mother-in-law tells me that we made a mistake and that we don't have to pay taxes when I work in other states because I live here.

I merely was trying to tell the mother-in-law and sister that this is how things have to be done. They said I didn't know what I was talking about. It's not just that I know because I've filed the returns but I also have an accounting degree for my undergrad so this was covered with my studies at school. My husband is sitting there listening to this foolishness and saying absolutely nothing while their voices are escalating and eventually end with the mother-in-law asking me, "What are you, some type of tax lawyer or something?" At this point, as with the past, I see there is no reason to continue trying to inform them of anything and I decide to just be quiet.

There have been many things like this in the past that have happened and I had my initial shock when my husband didn't say anything. Now, not only do I not expect him to say anything but many times when I'm attacked verbally by people in his family I don't even bother to say anything. This way, he won't be able to say I said something to him and I won't be able to say he didn't address it.

Does anyone out there have issues like this and what have you done to get through them?

tl;dr: Husband allows people to belittle me!

quote:

I [25F] find my boyfriend's [29M] friendship with his female friend is passing the line

So my boyfriend and I have been going out for 2.5 years. He has this friend who is a female [23] that he use to tutor when she was in high school and the relationship grew to be past their tutoring relationship to being really good friends. While the problem isn't the fact that she's a female, it's more of how the relationship became from what it started as and how "chummy" she is towards him.

A few examples. She use to play a college sport and he would attend a lot of games about every time she asked him to or go out of his way to go. On her birthday, he takes her out to a nice fancy dinner. Every time she needs something, he goes running towards her. To me, it kind of appears as she's using him for attention and never returns any nice gestures back. That's not a friendship to me. A friendship should be a relatively mutual level of nice gestures. Whenever we would be at gatherings and people ask me questions about him, she's quick to answer for me about him. During a few times, I have hung out with just them two, it always feels like I was third wheeling a couple.

I understand that he had a life before me but one of our biggest issues is that he has a hard time sharing anything deep or even the small things. But sometimes I hear things about him that are more current from her and I constantly have to say "oh that's the first I am hearing of it." In a way, I feel like I am being put second of someone else in his life.

I have told him before about this and he tells me that I am wrong and he doesn't see any of it. His tldr to me is that they are long time friends and anything I say won't have an impact because she's 1 of the 2 most important people in his life (his bestfriend and her). I should've asked where I am on that list but the best comebacks are always after the fight. What do you guys recommend or have to save if I am third or fourth after the 2?

tl;dr: Am I crazy for thinking that a friendship that started off as a tutor/tutee relationship is a bit weird as a GF standpoint? And is the chummy behavior is pushing it? Am I wrong to feel my bf is getting used?

quote:

Am I [24M] the "safe" option for my girlfriend [23]??

Hi reddit recently I've been feeling like my girlfriend of approx 6 months sees me as the "safe" or reliable option to be in a relationship with rather than desire for me as a person. There have been a accumulation of events that have me questioning if she really likes me.

First being is that I found out through conversation that many of her ex-boyfriends seem to be the "bad boy" type. Her last ex was a drug dealer and another has been to jail, had tattoos etc... I don't have any tattoos or anything like that; I am quite straight edge in comparison, she actually said that one of the things that attracted her to me was the fact that I went to uni. Now I don't have a problem with her having exes at all, I just noticed a very strong pattern based on what she has told me, and I am not aligned at all with that pattern.

Second was the fact that she alluded that she has had or enjoys kinky sex despite us taking MojoUpgrade together and it revealing her to be quite vanilla (I ticked yes for many of the boxes, most of her answers were a no). She said she was only joking but I am not so sure... this one is probably just in my head.

Finally, she nicknamed me "Safety R" R being short for Ryan (not my real name). When I asked why she gave me that nickname, she literally said it was because I am a very safe person. I don't start fights, I don't speed, drink drive etc... I don't believe I am a boring at all, I am very passionate about my work and have hobbies and go to the gym regularly. I just don't engage in reckless behavior. She said she liked that about me, but why make a nickname for it? It felt like she was making a joke out of my personality.

One of my biggest fears/insecurities is being settled for in a relationship and not actually being the desired by my SO, this stems from the fact that I was a late bloomer when it came to relationships. Only in the past few years have I had strong success with dating. All of these little occurrences with my gf have triggered that insecurity, I really like her and want people to tell me that I'm just crazy and need to get over it... but I am also not afraid of breaking it off if I know she isn't with me for me.

I'm coming to relationships for an unbiased opinion. Does it sound like she is settling? How do you know when you are the "safe" option? Am I just crazy and insecure?

TL;DR Small events have made me feel insecure about my gf seeing me as a "safe" option for a relationship. Not sure if it's all in my head.

quote:

Me [27 M] with my girlfriend [24 F] of 6 years- she wants to sleep around before we settle down. What should I do?

So, we have been going out for a little over six years having first met at university. We met during her freshers week (her 18, me 21) and hit it off straight away. We have been going out ever since, and despite a significant proportion of our relationship being long-distance, all has been going really well. Recently things have been getting a little more serious- discussing the future possibility of children etc- although this has been on a backdrop of us seeing each other less due to conflicting work schedules and long distance (we currently live approx 5 hours apart). I really love her, and she professes the same to me, so I'm really confused.

When we first got together, I was in my third year of university whilst she was in first year. As such, she says (possibly correctly) that I have had the opportunity to experience single life, including a one night stand, whereas she has not (due to age difference). Also, she says that although our relationship is completely non-controlling, because we have been together for all of her adult life, she has not had the opportunity to 'grow' individually, but rather has matured within the confines of a serious relationship. I disagree with this part as she is very much her own person (in fact, this is part of the reason I admire her so much).

A few weeks ago she mentioned about the disparity in our sexual experience- when we got together she was a virgin and I had slept with two women- and how she felt she had missed out on important life experience. I initially thought this was just idle chat, but this resurfaced last night. I think this has partly been triggered by her moving into a flat with other single women who have lots of no strings sex. She says that I mean a lot to her, and that she sees a long-term future with me, but that she needs to have space (somewhere between 3 months and a year....) in order to experience what she has missed in life. This would include sex with other men (just sex, not emotion).

I really don't know what to do. She is pressuring me to give permission (permission is not really the right word) for her to sleep around for a while (she says she has not cheated on me, and I believe her), whilst we remain close friends. The idea of this is abhorrent to me, but she says that this is important to her, and if she were not to do this now, she would be much more likely to cheat at a later stage. I really don't know what to do. Should I ok her to sleep around and get this out of her system (incidentally, she said if this was the case then I could sleep around too, not that I particularly want to), or do you think this is a sign of something bad? I really love this girl, and I think she loves me- I want what is best for her, but equally I do not think this should be completely at my expense.

Thanks for reading folks. This situation sucks so any grains of wisdom/ thoughts would be most appreciated.

tldr- my long term girlfriend wants to have sex with other men before we potentially settle down. What should I do?

My [20 F] boyfriend [23 M] keeps insisting that I'm a size queen and I would like for us to get to the real issues.

quote:

We are in a long-distance relationship of nearly 6 months - haven't met yet because we live an ocean apart. So throughout these past months we've sexted each other, including photos. I find him super attractive and tells him so.

Throughout this time, he has made recurring jokes about me insulting his penis size. Examples include: me saying something about small pox but typoed to small pics... and me teasing him about his headache by saying his head is too small because his brain is too big. In both examples and other silly instances, I was in no way even talking about his penis...yet he would insist that I am and would just try to trigger me. I would get that he's joking but when it goes on and on eventually I would just get serious about it and then he'd say I can't take a joke =.=

A couple weeks ago we went through a rough patch. I thought he was angry with me but it turns out he was dealing with some personal problems he didn't want to talk about. His behaviour was very cold and distant and affected me tremendously. I was hurt and confused that he was pushing me away.

Since then we got back to normal mostly, and while we were texting the other day, I mentioned that I looked at porn when we were in that rough spot. Now, we've discussed porn before. I asked him if he watches it and he says he doesn't because he only gets satisfaction from seeing the person he is romantically involved with (so, just my pics). And at that time, I said I've visited nsfw / nsfwgifs a few times but I'm not that interested in porn. Now neither of us said we couldn't watch porn. I even told him he could, he just has to be open about it if he does.

So, I feel like an idiot now. During that rough period, I was lonely, hurt, and really confused. Looking at his pictures just made me miss him even more. I'm not sure why I even went to watch porn. I explained it to him as me fantasizing about having sex with him during a time when we were fighting. He pretty much thinks that's bullshit as I shouldn't have felt the need to go outside of the relationship in the first place. I told him that watching that porn that one time doesn't mean anything and I have no desire to do it again. As what I want most of course is for us to have a close relationship where we feel comfortable talking about anything. I'll admit it, it was hypocritical of me not to mention that I watched it that time but we just got out of a fight, I know it's not an adequate excuse at all but I was just stressed out by all the fighting.

Since then he's been mad at me and passive aggressive in our interactions. I understand he's hurt and I feel very badly. He keeps making jabs about me watching porn and how I'm a BDL (big dick lover, I'm assuming). I keep telling him that's not at all the kind I watched. He's average in size and I love it. He knows that the only person I've had sex with (my ex) is also average (but mixed race). So I don't know how all this translates into me loving big dicks. I showed him reddit discussions on how not all women care about big dicks and in return he showed me stats on average penis sizes across ethnicity. He has nothing to even worry about with the stats that he showed me! So all morning we've had a back and forth argument about how much I supposedly love big dicks. I'm sure I've done much wrong throughout all this but I don't think it's fair for him to keep insisting that I'm into something that I've stated that I'm not. I'm sure he's just mad at me right now and that it'll blow over, but my head is spinning from all of this.

tl;dr: Told Bf I watched porn. He thinks I shouldn't have gone outside the relationship if I desire him like I say I do. Now he keeps calling me a big dick lover.

Reddit told her to :sever: so she did the natural thing and reposted but this time leaving out the parts about BF being extremely insecure and jealous of porn :pram:

I [20 F] called my bf [23 M] average and now we might break up

quote:

We're in a long-distance relationship of 6 months but have not been able to meet yet because we live very far away from each other. During our discussion about porn a while back, he said he doesn't really like porn and that he gets off from stuff that is from the person he is romantically involved with. I told him I don't care much for porn but I have been on nsfwgifs a few times.

Since then I have not looked at porn until a couple weeks ago I went on once during a rough period between us. I told him this a few days ago and we've been fighting ever since. He keeps calling me a big dick lover. After all this back and forth, I got so fed up I went on a rant about how I did not like being told what it is that I liked. I told him I don't like big dicks and that I liked average dicks like the guy I been with before and with him currently.

So, poo poo hit the fan when I called him average. As I spoke without thinking. He went through an experience with a terrible ex who insulted and compared him negatively. However, I did not mean to come off like his ex at all. I meant it like how big dicks doesn't concern me at all and that I enjoy average penis the most. He said that's not something he ever wanted to find out about what I think of him. But what did he expect me to think of him when he himself called him average? But I should not have ever said anything though. Even though I explain to him that being average there holds the same value to me as being average at any other body part. However, I have no idea about being a guy, I've been insensitive about that.

He feels this is not something he can ever get over. The thought of me thinking he's average will always be there. But I told him just because he's average in size it doesn't mean he's average in what I think about him, my attraction towards him, nor my desire for him. Even though we've never met, I've never wanted anyone this much.

The fact that I said something I couldn't take back and something he never wanted to find out is the problem I can't fix now. He thinks we should break up because we are incompatible with our mindset. But he says he still loves me he just doesn't see how he can come back from this. I don't want to break up, but I don't know how to fix this either. All I know is that I love him so much, for all his strengths and flaws, and I know he's the one I want to be with. Is there anything I can do now?

tl;dr: I called bf average but did not mean to insult him. Bf really hurt by my thoughtless words and can't see us coming back from this. We still love each other but don't know how to fix this.

Even if this weren't a baldfaced lie, there is literally nothing worse than some bullshit nickname.

she keeps referring to me as "Tiny Little Baby Wuss Man" to her friends and while I know this is just a cutesy nickname I can't help but think this means something different

What's wrong with these people? Why aren't they capable or talking to each other instead of resorting to insulting their supposed loved ones? I have so many questions.

Why do so many people equate porn with...mental cheating? I don't even loving know.
Do these people freak out when their SOs gawk at hot movie actors?

LUFTHANSA YOU FUCKING DICKWEASEL

quote:

My[30/M] fiance[29/F] told me that she would leave me for her soulmate and that it is normal of couples to have this agreement.

My fiance dated a guy before me that she was incredibly in love with. I knew she was into him, but they dated for 2 years, and we have been together for 4 years. He ended it because he wasn't ready for commitment, according to her. We've been engaged since July, with the wedding set for next September.

Over the Christmas holidays she told me that since we are getting married, we need to be open and honest with each other, which I have been about my whole life, and I thought she had.

Come to find out she considers her ex to be soulmate and if he asked, she would go back. She said this is normal for most couples to have an arrangement like this, and that he may never say anything. If that is the case, she loves me and wants a life and a family with me. I got upset and said why are you with me then, and she told me to calm down, that everyone settles. She said she will always love me, but this is just the way things are.

I've been avoiding her for days now. I am incredibly hurt, I thought she wanted to spend her life with me, but now it is with an asterisks.

Am I overreacting, like she says? Is it normal for people to have this type of situation?

tl;dr: Fiance said she is soulmates with her ex and would leave me if he asked, said this is normal for most couples.

Reddit told her to :sever: so she did the natural thing and reposted but this time leaving out the parts about BF being extremely insecure and jealous of porn :pram:

Gotta wonder where she got that "most couples have an arrangement like this" if she didn't just make it up out of whole cloth

If I had to guess I'd say that both of her parents are miserable

This is a good "Guess the Age" one:

So my and my boyfriend recently rekindled our romance and got back together after a few months "break". We are supposed to be trying our best to make things work and make each other happy.....
So the other day it was my birthday and he very gleefully presented me with my birthday gift, which turned out to be a clothes iron. It was cheap, he had bought it from a shop near his home, in my opinion he made no effort whatsoever, he didn't even wrap it!! I told him straight away that i wasn't happy, i don't want my boyfriend to buy me an iron for my birthday! He said I'm so ungrateful; he heard me say i needed an iron so he went and got me one so why am i complaining.
I don't know, I'm just really disappointed, an iron for a birthday gift just seems so poo poo to me, he thinks I'm spoilt and should just be happy for what i get. Seriously this kind of thing makes me think maybe we are not right for each other, i really do feel totally disillusioned about our relationship now.
Please can you give your opinions about this? Thank you!
TL;DR BF gave me an i iron for my bday, i think its a poo poo present, he thinks I'm an ungrateful bitch.

My boyfriend (33M) gave me (33F) an iron for my birthday - am I ungrateful because I'm not happy with it?

God drat at the chick whose still pining over her ex and just laid it out that she'll leave her fiance on the loving drop of a hat if this guy comes back.

Yeah, don't post the sad ones. I read some that I think are hilarious and then the last two paragraphs are just how the person feels broken and alone and then it's all :smith:
