Tbf there are some lipsticks these days that have some crap in them that makes your lips swell and plump up like a dollar store lip-job, but in this case she's probably just a cokehead.

I think my best friend of 8 Years (18 M) is in a cult, should I save him and how? or throw in the towel and give up?

I've been dating Maria for 6 months now. She's a sweet, kind and loving partner. Dont get me wrong, she's smart academically, on the deans list and received scholarships to a pretty well known university. However, she lacks common sense and logic and I'm embarrassed by it.

The following examples are true and Maria strongly feels this way without exaggeration. One time i walked her home during a thunderstorm because she forgot her umbrella. When I dropped her off, she told me to take a taxi back instead of walking because I might be struck by lightning. She tried making me a k-cup coffee by emptying the contents into a cup and adding hot water, oblivious to the machine two feet away. Another time we were eating lunch together indoors and I left my water bottle uncapped as I was drinking from it. She told me not to do that because a mosquito might fly into it and lay eggs. She constantly says we can afford 5 children on our combined entry level incomes. Another time she argues that pyramids couldn't have been man-made and that aliens from outer space built them. There are other petty examples such as asking me if she needed to wash an apple with soap before eating, if the pumpkin on my desk will still grow, having to draw out which way the battery goes in instead of recognizing +/-, calling cologne perfume and referring to goosebumps as "goosechickens". The list goes on..

It's embarrassing having to teach Maria things that a sensible 12yo would know. Heck, i was the one who taught her how to use the microwave and she's 22.

I don't know what to do. I feel embarrassed having to teach her things she should already know. Am I insecure about having an illogical gf who doesnt 'think'? I don't think you any amount of communication can help.

Tl:dr: My gf lacks common sense, logic and problem solving skills. I find it embarassing and don't know how to approach this

I just got my first girlfriend about a week ago and she turns me on so much. Every time she hugs me I can smell her perfume and I get an instant boner. Or if she puts her head on my shoulder and I put my head on hers and I can feel how soft her hair is, I get a boner right away. And it's not just like a random boner, they're really really hard boners. And then I'll keep thinking about how amazing it felt to hug her later and I keep getting boners. She came over my house a few days ago and we were watching a movie and she put her head on my shoulder and I put my head on hers and it just felt so good. But I was wearing pajama pants so the boner I got was very conspicuous and I'm pretty sure she saw it. I'm so embarrassed by it. I don't want her to think I'm a pervert or something and I don't want her to think that I'm just trying to get in her pants. What do I do?

Calling cologne perfume may be accurate, you whiner! The concept of scents just for males is a marketing ploy.

This. Cleaning a cat box takes like 5 minutes every other day. If the place is so cheap and convenient he should just get over it and do it.
I also laughed at the bedroom being so small he had to squeeze between the desk and the wardrobe. Yes my bedroom is so small theres hardly any room between the personal jacuzzi and the massage station.

Throw in hjs "i have to huff cat poo poo" declaration and ita obv this op is a bit of a princess

My [25M] GF [26F] is Refusing to Attend My Family's Holiday Parties Because My Cousin [22M] Said Some Disrespectful Things About Muslims

TL;DR:

My GF is refusing to attend my family's holiday parties because my parents didn't speak against my cousin saying disrespectful things about Muslims. GF now wants me to talk with my parents to see exactly what they think of her before she reconsiders coming to the parties.

Background:

I'm white, GF is black. We've been together for 2 years. I live with my parents, she lives with hers. Over the past year and a half she has been spending every weekend over. Her family doesn't really do holiday parties and mine do. My family usually has Thanksgiving, xmas eve (mom's side), and xmas day (dad's side). GF has come to all the parties last year.

Situation:

On Sundays my brother and his wife usually come over to my parents and we all hang out and watch football/hockey. Well, 11 days ago one of my cousins decides to come over with his gf [21F] and their toddler. At some point in the day, my cousin and his GF start saying some very disrespectful things about Muslims and people from the Middle East. My family is all pretty non-confrontational so we just agree or disagree with them, we just focused on the TV and kept the conversation going.

My GF decided to leave early, and as her and I were saying goodbye outside, she started crying. She said that if that's what my family thinks about Muslims, what do they think of her Muslim friends, her LGBT friends, her or her family? I reassured her that I love her, my family loves her, and that they have no bearing on how I view her. Fast-forward to a couple days ago, she's saying she refuses to go to my family's holiday parties this year.

She said that in order to reconsider coming to the parties, she needs to know exactly what my parents think of her. That by them not saying that they don't condone disrespectful comments in their house, it's just as bad as saying it. She says she doesn't want to be in an awkward situation where she is constantly thinking they are just nice in public and hate in private. She wants me to sit down with my parents and talk about what happened and how it hurt her. What they really think of her. I think she should be there with me, so my parents can talk with her as well. Apologize to her face instead of me just say, "They apologized." As of right now, my parents now that my GF feels hurt, and expressed remorse to me and apologized to me, but my GF wasn't there at the time, I've told her this.

I'm very close with my family. I love my GF so much and it hurts that there's such a rift between them.

Question:

Should I have a talk with my parents on my own and relay the info to my GF? Should my GF be present with me when I talk to my parents? What do I even say when I talk to my parents?

Clarifying really quickly that we have not been married 10 years, that's how long our relationship has lasted so far.
I don't know where to start, to be honest. A little bit of this is just to get it off my chest because the topic is very sensitive and I can't talk to anyone close about it for his sake - so random strangers on the internet it is, I guess. But here it is: The husband and I have been dating since high school. We got married recently (last year) and it came up around 6 months ago that he's into ABDL (for those of you who don't know, that's the fetish/lifestyle for adults who are into being/pretending to be infants). It's not really anything that super affects our relationship - he doesn't ask me to do anything I'm not comfortable with - so I thought I was cool with it. A little weird, yes, but I love this man so whatever.
Fast forward six months. I'm in grad school and it is extremely stressful. Husband has gotten more into the fetish community and I have gotten more and more uneasy about it. It finally blew up recently when he said something along the lines of being worried that he might be bi/gay because he would be okay with being with a man if said man was into the same fetish. IIRC, this came out because we haven't been having sex as much and it's...a little bit of a turnoff to think that your partner is more into other things than you.
Clarifying: I don't care if my partner is bi. It was the idea that this fetish was so important to him that he was seriously reconsidering his sexuality + his later admittance that he's had to think of his fetish during sex that freaked me out. No one likes feeling like they're some sort of marital duty.
Cue more than a week of me having moodswings, panicking, going through the five stages of grief, etc (bonus: I had a test to study for during it orz ). I was/am still an anxious mess. I was/lowkey am terrified of everything from 'he's going to leave me for some other fetish person' to 'I'm just a cover for him.' Then it was 'I am trapped in a loveless marriage' to 'I am undesirable to the person I love most in this world.' And now...
Now seeing anything related to his fetish makes me anxious. I can't pass by the baby section of a grocery store without feeling a little sick. I love him but the idea of intimacy makes my skin crawl after all this.
We have talked about what we're going to do. We both want this to work - we haven't been together for around a decade because we hate each other. Plus...neither of us will benefit if we break up. In the most practical sense, I get a roommate who wakes me up on time (regular alarm clocks do not work at all, I could sleep through a bomb) and makes sure I eat decently, he gets a roommate who nags him into cooking healthy meals and helps him with getting through another round of school. Not to mention that whatever else, neither of us wants to leave the other high and dry, and we're probably stuck together for the next year or two anyway.
'So why are you asking us for help?' I just...I'm hoping someone will have some advice on how to hang on for two more years, or how to get over my aversion, or just...when is the appropriate time to give up and make an OKC account, I guess.
tl;dr: Husband recently discovered his love of 'being a baby' fetish. I thought I was cool with it until bad feels poo poo happened and now I've developed an aversion/phobia to it. We love each other and want the best for the other, but I don't know if I can continue this relationship. Bonus round: from a lifestyle standpoint we're going to have to stay together for the next year or two anyway.

Me [25F] with my husband [27M] 10 years, recently discovered he has a fetish and I don't know how to handle it.


Eh, at least she's still young.
