I can understand where they're coming from though. Some of them probably fear being a controlling partner and don't really know where to draw the line, especially with someone they care about.

You know how kids used to ask why they need to learn basic arithmetic when everyone has a calculator nowadays? Well, why do I need basic social skills and emotional intelligence when I can outsource it to the internet?

Tolkien minority posted:what the gently caress is the point of a "casual, open romantically but not sexually" relationship with someone who refuses to have sex I know it's been touched on but this little tidbit quote:My partner and I are in a kinda open, casual relationship which we know is temporary. makes everything extra stupid. Guessing she's attached, hoping it's more than temporary and he was probably thinking he could change her mind. Dumb however you look at it.

He didn't do anything wrong. She was being confusing as hell, and if anything it seems like he was trying to accommodate. He stopped once he figured out what the hell it was she was doing. e: on her hands and knees for 2 hours?! ee: did she turn around and present her rear end in a guy's face while continuing a conversation for two loving hours?

If she had tried any harder to have sex with that reluctant as all hell man than she would have raped him. She told him that she did it because she wanted to feel bad, but it seems more like she did it because she wanted him to feel bad so she could weaponize his guilt against him. As to literal dream man lawyer bro, he was right to lie about his income seeing as her response to finding out about it is to become indignant she isn't benefiting from it more and they aren't living a shallower lifestyle.

It's difficult to imagine 2 hours of converasation that scrupulously avoids inquiring about the rear end arrayed doggy style in one's direction. More difficult still to imagine that conversation maintaining course from minute 120 to 125 with pants and trousers around the ol' knee bones. Guy must have cats.

If the guy confused by the girl masturbating in the tent next to him is believable than I can believe it took this guy two hours to come to terms with his sadsack ex throwing herself at him in person, after constantly saying she wanted sex over the phone.

kuddles posted:I feel like if it's been 1.5 years, you really need to get over yourself using the bathroom with your partner nearby. It's like passing gas, of course you'll do everything to hide it when you start dating because you're in that weird mindset of trying to present an idealized version of yourself, but at a certain point you need to drop the illusion. I believe it was George Carlin who said that if you can't fart around someone you shouldn't have sex with them. I think the same could be said in regards to pooping and peeing. It's quite curious how someone can be so ashamed of their body's natural functions that they avoid farting/pooping/peeing while sharing space with a partner but are somehow totally cool with getting naked with them. I guess it's probably some hosed up distinction thing. WampaLord posted:My [17M] broke into my own house after sneaking out. My step brother thought I was a intruder. He gave me a black eye and broke my jaw. My parents are treating him like a hero I don't know, I've always been told that attacking a home invader is stupid because they might be armed and could seriously injure or kill you. Even though this dude's step brother is well trained if it had been a real home invader it might have gone much more poorly. Still, I guess in this situation it worked out okay. I mean, excluding the fact that the guy got the poo poo kicked out of him and his family celebrated it (hosed up.) kuddles posted:It's always amazing to see someone who manages to override any notion of common sense because of a sexual fantasy playing out in their head, especially when they are in their loving mid-thirties. Like, that's an immense amount of emotional immaturity and cognitive dissonance. Okay, why don't any of these idiots ever bother to talk to these women they are obsessing over and get to know them? A lot of these tragic self-owning scenarios could have been wholly avoided had they just taken the time to get to know their obsession as a person instead of just building and acting out on a fantasy. How can they honestly believe a woman who hardly knows them is just going to jump into bed with them? I have to agree that it is just super emotionally immature. The level of cognitive dissonance is just flooring. Tender Bender posted:This is the piece that gets overlooked the most. Even putting aside the can of worms that is personal feelings on monogamy, most people you meet in your daily life are not onboard with that! Even assuming the girl is actually into you why the gently caress would she want to be the trial run side piece in your open relationship. Like I'm just imagining some cute bubbly girl being approached by the overweight mid-30s programmer in her office as he proceeds to pitch the great opportunity to gently caress him a couple times with the glowing endorsement of his girlfriend. From what I understand this is not how polygamy/open relationships should work. These kinds of situations apparently have a higher success rate when each partner is largely treated equally with each other partner. But that is just what I have heard/read and I have no idea how it really works. Agentdark posted:Me [34 F] with my boyfriend [33 M] of 1.5 years, we split rent/costs on income, but he makes a lot more than he claimed Nowhere in this complaint am I reading that she is struggling to pay bills or suffering any kind of financial hardship. I mean, I think it's great that they broke down the expenses and financial obligations based on how much they could afford and it sucks that he makes more than he claimed and thus should technically be paying more but he's already paying for more than half of everything and she isn't hurting financially and can afford what she is paying so I think this is kind of silly? From what I understand bonuses and the kind of huge pay outs he's getting can change from year to year based on company performance and client load and other poo poo. So he probably didn't lie to her so much as estimate his income based on a median or worst-case situation so that if he had a few bad years he could still cover expenses and make ends meet. Budgeting off variable or unreliable sources of income just seems incredibly foolish. Sometimes I'm a terrible socialist.

On the one hand hiding the fact that you are donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to charity, from someone you are marrying, is kind of a big deal. On the other hand responding to that with "you should just spend it on me instead, also 1/3 of our expenses is too much, I should be spending 1/10" is hilarious. Dump her and find a nice girl who's a good person.

They're not getting married. She wants to, obviously, but they're not engaged. If they don't break up beforehand, the wedding planning will definitely ruin them.

Her boyfriend shouldn't have lied to her, but I think he did it to avoid facing the truth that his girlfriend is an awful money-grubbing selfish bitch. I mean usually when someone is narrating an event from their point of view they consciously or unconsciously try to make themselves look as good as possible, and she still comes across as shallow and insufferable. Instead of being grateful for the huge amount of costs he's already covering, she acts like he's a meal ticket who has been holding out on him.
