UPDATE

Ross Perowned posted:

I am probably completely off on this, but I think picky eaters being hosed up people stems from a lovely upbringing where the parents just wanted the path of least resistance when it came to raising their kids. My step-mom's sister was a huge party girl right before she got knocked up by some Italian businessman who skipped out on her and the baby, so it was just her raising the baby. Three years later she gets knocked up again, this other dad skips out again, but now she has a 3-year-old that shes trying to feed as well, and he will only eat chicken nuggets and Kraft mac-n-cheese, if it was anything else he would throw the hugest goddamn fit. Since she was a single mom who's also trying to feed/handled the newborn, she gave him what he wanted for six loving years.

Also, when I was in elementary school, I carpooled with a a loving monster of a brat kid who was also a picky eater, would only eat certain things, but he would treat his mom like garbage (I don't remember his dad being in the picture). One event I still remember was he would play Nintendo right before school when he wasn't even dressed yet, and his mom was just like "Now Cory, you need to get ready for school," he yelled back "ONE MORE LEVEL YOU STUPID IDIOT," and she just walked away and let him play it out. That poo poo didn't fly with my mom. We would drive him home from school and he hated listening to music in the car, so my mom would blast ABBA if he in any way was being a little poo poo.

Uh so the update to the story about the picky boyfriend involved her spelling out that she couldn't live like that herself anymore, and asking him to see a doctor, upon which the bf went nuts and broke one of her ribs and sodomized her because vegetables are scary

I [28F] hate my boyfriend's [28M] beard.

Throwaway because bf is on reddit. We've been together for 10 years and I love him a lot. I'm sure we're gonna marry someday and have kids together. He always had a bit of a beard which I loved. I always found him very attractive. However, about 6 months ago, he started to grow out his beard. Some people call it a hipster beard. The difference is that my bf doesn't groom his beard. At all. And it looks a mess. Whenever he eats, small pieces of food stick to his beard. Whenever it's hot outside, small droplets of sweat linger in his beard. Whenever we have sex, I feel his beard rubbing on me and it feels weird. And afterwards I have beard hair all over me. I just hate it.

I've tried talking to him about at least grooming his beard (I'm not even talking about cutting it off because apparently he loves it so much!), I bought some grooming accessoires for him (scissors, small comb) but he doesn't use it. I've told him about this fancy hipster barber shop but he just laughed and said "real men" don't need that. He also keeps insisting that I'm gonna "learn to love his beard" someday but it just gets more and more disgusting. I've asked his friends and family what they think about the beard but they all agree that the beard is great. I can't be the only one noticing the food getting caught up in his beard!? Ugh, what do I do? I feel like I find him less and less attractive. I'm even starting to avoid having sex with him, and it freaks me out. Please help!

tl;dr: My boyfriend of 10 years is growing a disgusting web of hair, food and sweat on his face. Help!

quote:

UPDATE:I [28F] hate my boyfriend's [28M] beard.
So, I did what some people suggested and told him I couldn't bring myself to have sex with him unless he starts grooming his beard because I'm so disgusted by it. He kind of laughed it off but after a week I guess he realized I was serious.

So one day we met for dinner after work and he got there clean shaven and with a bouquet of roses. During dinner, he asked me if I honestly didn't remember. I had no idea what he was talking about. That's when he told me that 6 or 7 years ago, when we celebrated Christmas with my family and my grandfather was asking when the two of us would "finally" get married, my bf said we would get married when his beard was as long as my grandfather's (who has somewhat of a Santa Claus beard).

For a few months after that incident, it was like a running joke between the two of us, whenever he didn't shave for a few days, I told him to watch out or he would have to marry me. Apparently that was when he decided he would grow out his beard before proposing. Only he thought it would be too obvious and I would know what was coming, and I completely forgot about the whole situation and now I feel kind of bad about forgetting the whole joke between us. He said when I told him the beard was disgusting he thought I was just joking around because I wanted to know if he would really go through with growing it out grandfather style.

Our friends and families were all in on it and that's why they kept saying the beard was great. So, long story short, the beard is gone and we are engaged. I guess this might seem a bit childish to a lot of people, but it made my grandfather happy and I think the original idea was kind of sweet (even though the beard wasn't).

tl;dr: Bf only grew out his beard because of an inside joke we had years ago that I completely forgot about. We are now happily engaged and he shaves again. Yay!

So, my girlfriend is in her final year of schooling and she's been struggling with this paper. She told me today she's going to her friends place to sleep over and do it. I didn't think anything of it. But as soon as I told my friends where she was tonight, my friends were like "Duuuude, only one thing happens when a girl sleeps over." I know her and I don't think she'd do anything, but that made me worried. She asked me "Is it okay if I sleep in his bed." I said no and she said okay I'll sleep on the couch then. Iunno, I felt calm through this, then my friends freaked me out. Should I be? or just ignore them?
tl;dr: Girlfriend sleeping over at best friends house. He's a guy, they're doing their paper together. I wasn't worried, but my friends told me to be. Should I be?

I [24M] accidentally proposed to my girlfriend [24F]. She announced before I could speak to her, and now I don't know what to do.

Using a throwaway because she knows my real username.

So I've been seeing my girlfriend now for almost 3 years. They've been good years, and I'm very happy with her. There's no doubt in my mind that I do want to continue this relationship for the long term, but I don't think I'm ready to commit to marriage or anything like that. My concern is that it's too soon, and by too soon I mean that I'm afraid I might not feel the same way in 3 years. I've changed so much in the past 3 years that it's hard for me to know if we're compatible for the long haul. That's why I was going to explain the situation to her and take the proposal back the next day when I realized what I had done, if she hadn't told a bunch of people.

As for how this happened, I had a big weekend last week because I was celebrating my birthday. My girlfriend planned an amazing party for me and there was something that just made me think I should propose. I was really drunk too, so to be fair, it likely was a combination of the alcohol and the emotions. Anyway, after we came back from bars, we were just hanging out at my apartment and that's when it happened. I don't remember everything I said, but I know I said I loved her and asked her to marry me and she accepted. We had sex and then I went to sleep. When I woke up the next day, she had already announced on Facebook and told her parents and sisters and my family.

I didn't know what to do, so I just kept quiet. I really think I have to clear this up and soon, but I don't want to ruin our relationship. I'm afraid that she may be so hurt that she'll break up with me, and I don't want that. I also don't want to publicly embarrass her. I just don't know how to do either of those things. I really need help navigating this situation in a way that doesn't cost my my girlfriend.

tl;dr: Proposed to my gf after I got very drunk on my birthday weekend. She accepted and announced before I woke up the next day. I think this is a mistake and want to clear this up, but I'm worried she'll be so hurt she'll break up with me. What do I do?

I'm hoping to gain clarity over time.

But that would be a lie or at least dishonest. I don't know if I want to marry her.

We are now, but I'm not sure if we will be in 3 years. What I would like is for us to keep dating and then if I feel the same way in 3 or so years I would be okay marrying her.

My girlfriend [25F] broke up with me [28M] on the first day of our vacation

My girlfriend, ex girlfriend I guess and I just arrived at our resort today and we broke up at the airport before we even took off. The whole point of the trip was to get away so we could try to get our relationship happy again without dealing with work stress but she gave me yet another ultimatum and I called her bluff and she broke up with me. She hasn't been in the hotel room but I know she's going to want to get back together and I don't think I want to. But ya, now we're stuck in a hotel room together for a week.

So what do I do? How do I make this not awkward? I don't want to fight with her but I don't think I want to get back together. And we live together so well have to deal with that when we get home.

tl;dr: my girlfriend broke up with me and we're on vacation together until Monday.

quote:

I just wanted to update on my lovely vacation.

The first day was really bad, I stuck to the hotel room for most of it and when I finally went out at night she tried to start fights and get me to stop talking to people because she thought I was going to “cheat” on her. The front desk person found me another room that was a huge upgrade so I moved there for the rest of the trip to avoid my girlfriend. I guess she didn't stay in the old room either so I'm not sure who ended up paying for that but I was expecting a huge bill for poo poo she charged to the room.

It was pretty awkward but I did my best to have a good time. I met a ton of people, and it was easy to make friends since everyone thought the situation was hilarious. My girlfriend never went too far away, she would approach me a couple of times every day to "try and work things out so we can enjoy our vacation" and she kept an eye on me the whole time. When I wouldn't talk with her she tried to start a fight and a couple times she actually screamed at me for everyone to hear. After it finally became clear to her that I was moving on she stopped bugging me and she flew out a couple days early. I ended up spending most of my time with a group that was there for a wedding and even attended the ceremony. I'd rate it a 7/10 vacation all things considered.

I feel a bit bad about how lovely her trip was. I did some poo poo just to piss her off that probably wasn't necessary. I was hoping that she would be mad enough to just move out of my house before I got home but she's still living here with me and now I'm living in my own basement just to avoid her. I did give her an eviction notice but one month is far too long to be living with an ex. My dogs have been staying with my friends so I can make sure she doesn't try to take them or something but her staying here is really loving everything up.

tl;dr: had a great vacation but still living with my ex.

quote:

She told me to stop working out so much or we would break up, and it was only every other day for an hour or two. She said if I went to the beach wearing basketball shorts instead of a swimsuit we would break up (because you can see my dick outline).

Question: What ultimatums had she previously given you?

Hi, this is a personal issue.

Yesterday I was visiting my brother in his apartment. My sisters and mother went out for a relaxing beauty day or whatever. My brother decided to play a prank on me and shoot my balls with a BB gun when I was standing in the kitchen. I had pants on, he shot my crotch and hit my balls. They still loving hurt.
My mom and dad are both doctors. My dad is a neurosurgeon and my mom is a surgeon that does things like remove bullets from you when you have been shot. I don't know what you call it. I'm to embarrassed to go to my mom and tell her my balls hurt. What can I do? will the pain go away?

tl;dr: My balls hurt and I'm embarrassed

This one was weird on several levels:

- Why is he posting it in /relationships
- I could understand being embarrassed if you have an STD, or just general pain, but being afraid to tell a doctor parent you got shot in the crotch, just because it was your crotch? That's so 13-year-olds
- His NINETEEN year old brother shot him in the crotch? What messed up brain thinks "oh hey, I'll shoot my almost-a-kid brother in the genitals?" That sounds like a scary home life, but then again brothers do weird poo poo.
- For how embarrassed he says he is, he sure isn't embarrassed to brag about his doctor parents

There are hundreds of lies you can tell to avoid feeding your partner's insecurities. In an ideal world, they wouldn't be insecure about anything and you could just say "Yes I liked his thick, hard, pulsing horse cock" but that's not how it works.
