That guy sounds like a totally reasonable individual that's probably really good at loving.

y'know how all those younger women are apparently really paranoid that their boyfriends are going to choose jerking off to porn over having sex with them

Apparently the inverse of that actually happens sometimes

I [26 F] HATE "cute" nicknames. My [32 M] boyfriend keeps calling me "cute" names.

quote:

I have always and only ever called Jamie "Jamie" and nothing else.
He, on the other hand, will call me names like "honey", "sugar" and "baby" and BLEH. I have to make a genuine effort not to cringe when he says these things.
Would it be too rude to straight up tell him, "don't call me, baby" or whatever-name-of-the-day-he-chooses?
tl;dr: need to make boyfriend stop calling me cute names. i don't like it. it's awkward and weird and oh so cheesy.

As a fully grown adult human, I too would rather ask total strangers for advice rather than taking 30-40 seconds of my day to communicate a thing.

quote:

My girlfriend [24F] of 3 years replaced all of my [29M] clothes while I was away

I'll try to give my girlfriends side here too so it's not too biased. I used to dress like poo poo, I was perfectly content wearing my gym clothes everywhere and stretched the dress code as much as possible for work. My girlfriend works in the fashion industry so she helped me buy some clothes that fit me better and looked nicer without being out of my comfort zone so I was really thankful for that. I kept all the same gym clothes, sweatpants, Panama pants, old t shirts and sweaters and jeans etc as well as all of my shoes because I figured they'd be fine to wear around the house or to work out because I don't really care how I look for that. I told her she could buy clothes for me if she wants because she knows what I like which is maybe where I went wrong.

Last week I went on training for work and it was my birthday while I was gone. I got back and my girlfriend had donated all of my old clothes that she hadn't picked out and replaced it with new stuff. I tried to act grateful at first but honestly I'm loving pissed off. I don't want to wear lovely stiff jeans that stain the seats in my truck blue and the running shoes suck for actually running. Even the sweatpants are kinda tight which in my mind defeats the purpose of wearing sweatpants. She got rid of all my old t shirts that I bought at games and replaced them with plain colours but now I have barely any tshirts at all. And she spent a ton of money doing this. I know the jeans alone are over $300 and and the shoes probably cost over two grand. She gets a small discount on this stuff but still, she probably spent upwards of 5k on all the new clothes, I looked up some of the brands and it's all really high end.

I told her I wish she hadn't gotten rid of my old stuff and she said I would have kept wearing it so she had to but offered to go get it back from the thrift store. Well the thrift store apparently sends their donated clothes away to get washed and then they get sent to various locations throughout our city so basically no one has any idea where my clothes are and they're as good as gone.

The reason I'm posting is she's now mad at me for being ungrateful and says I'm being lovely and should respect and appreciate her more. But yeah I'm not really that thankful because she got rid of all my poo poo. Yesterday I told her not to talk to me until she came home with my bean boots that I've been breaking in for years which she actually was able to find but it caused a huge fight. Am I being a dick for being pissed about this?

tl;dr: my girlfriend replaced all of my clothes with nicer higher end versions and I'm pissed off about it.

That's the story of pretty much every open relationship post though "It's cool when I want to gently caress other people, but then my partner hosed someone now I'm sad!" the real crazy ones are fascinating though.

So here's another brand of weird;

quote:

Girlfriend [27F] got massive tattoo for me [31M]
I’ve been with my girlfriend for almost a year. I’ve always made sure she knew that I wanted to take things very slow and I didn’t want anything too serious right now. Ive only been divorced for a year and I have primary custody of my kids (2 and 4) so they are and have always been my priority. I can't stress how clear I was about keeping our relationship casual...

Anyways, I have a lot of tattoos. I won’t pretend like they’re all super meaningful but most of the bigger pieces are related to my hobbies, friends, family, random poo poo I’m into. My girlfriend only had the tiniest tattoo on her ankle. I was away last week doing the Vegas bachelor party/road trip thing and she texts me that she has a surprise for me and sends me a pic of the tattoo. It is a tree that starts at where rear end meets leg (not sure of the name for that) and ending on the back of her neck. The branches have lovely tattoos that are copies of many of mine. A few in particular piss me off, one is a copy of a tattoo my buddies and I got done to commemorate a friend that died. Another is very similar to one of mine that was inspired by a drawing my kid did. I showed it to my friends and they all think she is loving crazy.

Her explanation is just that she liked my tattoos so she wanted to get similar ones but in her own design, and she did it to honor me. She said she got it for me. She went to a lovely artist so it looks pretty bad and the design isn't too great in itself, which I think defeats the purpose of honoring someone, and they mean literally nothing to her. Between her copying my tattoos and having a genuinely lovely tattoo covering her entire backside, I really don't find her sexy anymore, it is a huge mood killer. She was my "dream girl" in bed so without that there isn't much left.

I'm starting to consider just breaking up with her because what she did seems so insane. On the other hand we've been dating for almost a year and I am really into her, and she now has this giant tattoo that's "honoring" me so breaking up would suck. Opinions?

tl;dr: girlfriend got huge back piece that is a copy of many of my tattoos in an attempt to honor me but I just find it to be a big turn off
:eyepop:
And it updated!

quote:

I tried to get her to explain to me why she thought it was a good idea but all she kept saying was that she truly believed I would like it and she thought it would help move our relationship to the next level. I told her she should see a therapist and she told me to gently caress off. So there you have it.

honestly as good as that story is i just can't really get behind the "my wife and I struggled with fertility treatments for years and then some random dude just knocked her up the traditional way within a month of us opening our relationship" aspect of the core story. It's just too perfect

In roughly 99% of these posts the poster should break up/get a divorce immediately. The other 1ish percent could probably be resolved by just sitting down and having a mature conversation with each other. But the fact that most of that 1ish percent is really nervous or averse to just talking it out is a red flag that either they have no idea how to communicate or are horribly afraid of confrontation or their s/o they gush about is actually some kind of irrational powder keg.

The stories from girls who don't use birth control and just trust their guy to pull out are just profoundly infuriating. This is why we need thorough and comprehensive sex education in America.

And the wife who gave her husband blanket consent to just gently caress her while she slept? Idiotic and horrifying. And then she told him she didn't consent any more and he still did it and I'm just...

This thread has scarred me for life or something, I don't know.

"It is a tree that starts at where rear end meets leg (not sure of the name for that) and ending on the back of her neck. The branches have lovely tattoos that are copies of many of mine... genuinely lovely tattoo covering her entire backside"

Does it go up the middle of her rear end crack, or wind over a cheek? How would you integrate a memorial tattoo or kid drawing into a tree branch?

tbh that's probably more 'people are dumb' than deficiencies in sex education. like there are places where that's the case, but that still happens way too often in places with 'good' sex education.

In my high school there was thorough and comprehensive sex education that was mandatory for all students, people just chose to fuckin ignore it because they're idiots who buy into the meme that 'condoms don't feel good' and bully their partners into playing along. like it was explicitly said, multiple times in lecture and as quiz questions, that pulling out is not an effective method of birth control and still i knew two people who did it anyways with people not on the pill.

pulling out is only marginally worse than condoms according to planned parenthood and this is a super dumb derail either way.

Okay but 'pulling out' as practiced by teens is pretty different from 'pulling out' as practiced by adults.

As most things done by teenagers, their version is much shittier than that as practiced by the theoretical responsible adults still somehow too stupid to use actual birth control.

[grinding concern] is it safe to grind with no clothes and just a condom??

quote:

My girlfriend and I have been dating for over six months and at the beginning of our relationship we decided we would take things slow. At first we just made out and started to grind pretty hard (with clothes on), then that led to blowjobs, then eating her out, now sometimes I get naked and we grind, sometimes she's the one naked. We want to go further without having sex. So, we were thinking the best way to do this would be to both be completely naked and for me to wear just a condom, and just do our normal stuff without clothes on (really hard grinding, making out, oral). The one thing we're worried about is if this is safe or not. When we grind and I'm on top I usually put my penis under her body, and when she's on top my penis is usually behind her body. We may also try rubbing my penis on her vagina (no insertion). I'm afraid the grinding will make the condom slip off or tear. I was thinking lube might make things better, but I'm not sure. What do you suggest? Do you think this is safe or not? If not, what do you think we should do instead or to fix it? Safety is our utmost concern.

I dunno, I really like the undercurrent of his wife being miserable throughout their entire relationship, to the point of having some kind of hormonal imbalance that fixes itself within half a year of sleeping with attractive, non-douchey men. It's important to the story that everyone except for the author realizes that he's the sole source of her unhappiness, and it doesn't come through without his long pretentious screeds about soulmates and true love.

Dear r/ relationships, my [?F] fiancé [?m] keeps buying condoms and he claims he uses them to masturbate...

Edit For Content...

Me [30 M] with an ex [26 F] of a friend of mine, she accidentally sent me nudes and now demands I give her my phone because she wants to check if I deleted the photos

quote:

Many years ago I met this person at a birthday party, then she was the girlfriend of a good friend of mine. I have to be bluntly honest: I was really attracted to her (Malena), she is very pretty and moreover very smart. Of course I did nothing about my attraction, only occasional smalltalk. She added me to facebook. Fast forward, a couple years ago they ended their relationship. My birthday comes and surprisingly she sent me a message wishing me a happy day. I felt curious and we started to chat now and then, nothing flirty, she is finishing her PhD in history so we talked about that. I still find her very attractive but I know she is not into me at all, so I didn’t try anything. Friday night I was watching Netflix and I receive a message in my cellphone. I met someone using Tinder, we were making arrangements for a second date so I thought it was that. To my surprise, Malena started to send me many messages, the first one said something like “this is what you’re missing…” with photos in them of sexual nature, some nudes (you get the idea). The photos were extremely hot and I was very aroused, it took my brain many seconds to realize those photos weren’t for me. Almost instantly I received another message were she acknowledged she hosed up, then she called me and apologized profusely. I told her she didn’t have to worry, that I haven’t seen the photos yet (a little white lie) and I’d delete them immediately, thing I did. Of course I admit although pleasant, it was wrong to see the pictures and I felt bad about that.

Well, minutes ago she called me again saying she’s sorry but she would prefer to check my cellphone and laptop to verify if indeed I deleted the images she sent me. I told her that while I understand this is an unfortunate situation, I’m not comfortable with giving her access to my stuff. Put mildly, she wasn’t happy and the communication ended abruptly.

Am I being disrespectful not giving her access to my laptop and cellphone? On one hand, I kinda snooped her private stuff so I feel like I owe her something. On the other hand, I don’t to give her access to check the contents of my cellphone and my laptop.

tl;dr: A person accidentally sent me intimate photos, now demands I give her access to my computer and phone to check I really deleted the photos as she requested and I don't agree with that
