I feel so loving bad for retail workers whose store does nothing but Christmas music for the entire month.

I used to work retail several years back and it was really no worse than any other time of the year. The store I worked at had an incredibly annoying song rotation that was identical for months at a time. I just learned to tune it out the same as Christmas music.

It would be really funny if it was actually a Japanese couple who would have a white person over for tea and then get off on full-costume Meiji Restoration(or that period where the Portuguese showed up and introduced firearms, either one) roleplay in the bedroom after their guest left.

Yeah, it definitely depends on the store and how all-out they go for Christmas/holiday season, but after a day you tend to block it out.

Right, but the default assumption (and probably the correct one) is that the kink is tied up in America's history with chattel slavery.

I just find it more amusing to imagine a couple getting hot and bothered while discussing the exciting possibilities of Western technologies despite the uncouth ways of the gaijin.

Just like Mama used to make it!
My (20F) SO (22M) hasn't been home in four days and has stopped contacting me

quote:

My boyfriend and I have been together for two and a half years now, and recently started living together (under very weird and stressful circumstances, but it's been nice nonetheless). Our relationship is fine for the most part; we've gotten past some real hard stuff, so now we're both in a place where we make a point to always communicate and work things out together. This is precisely why I'm so angry and confused right now.

Today is Saturday, and my bf has been gone since Tuesday. He popped in to visit me at work and told me he was going to hang with his friends a few towns over, he'd probably be home late, yadda yadda yadda. So in my mind, I'm saying "cool, I get all the covers tonight, gonna watch some porn, maybe bake cookies". I have no problem with my bf hanging with his friends, they're all great guys. So Tuesday night comes and goes, I wake up the next morning and he hasn't come back. He had texted me when I'd fallen asleep that he missed the bus back home, so normally he'd just catch the bus in the morning. But...he didn't. This is weird, but I had to go to work so I didn't have much time (or enough sleep) to think about it. Then Wednesday comes and goes. No contact from him at all. Thursday comes and I start to get weirded out. He's been somewhat inactive on social media and hasn't gotten in touch with me at all. So jokingly I ask if he got lost (via text), and he tells me he'll be back tomorrow (so Friday). Friday morning: I wake up for work and he's still not here. Now I'm just angry at this point. I messaged him something along the lines of "this isn't cool, you know i don't care if you go out but just let me know you're alright and don't give me bullshit" then immediately threw myself into my work all day. I hung out with some friends after work that night and got in pretty late myself and he STILL wasn't there. No reply to my text either (he read it though). Just nothing.

It's now Saturday morning. I'm pissed because I feel I'm being ignored and pandered to at the same time. I'm worried that something's wrong. I'm lonely already. I'm hurt because if something IS wrong, we should be able to talk about it and now there's just silence. I have no idea how to proceed or what this means, or if I'm overreacting. The idea of him cheating briefly crossed my mind (he has once in the past about a year ago and it's still something we're talking through), but I want to be fair and give him the benefit of the doubt. I don't think I've given him any reason to avoid me; prior to Tuesday we were perfectly fine. I haven't reached out to him again since yesterday morning because I genuinely don't know how to articulate what I'm feeling without cursing him out or sounding like a token overbearing wife. Am I overreacting here? Am I under-reacting? What should I even do? I've kind of just been crying on and off and chain smoking in my bathroom and checking my phone constantly. I just want to know if something is wrong, and if not then wtf. Halp.

TL;DR: Long term live in BF went to hang with friends on Tuesday, hasn't come home since. Limited BS contact has become zero contact. Confused and sad, dunno where to go from here.

Those circumstances she mentions?

It's a huge can of worms that would've made this post into a 10 part series, but we live with my aunt. She's toxic as gently caress and a drinker, but poo poo went south with our parents (ugly divorce for mine, his moved across country and left him here) and she was the only person willing to take us both in. It's cheap rent and a roof until we save enough to move. Sometimes it's a strain on both of us, but we talk to each other about it and deal together.

My (21F) boyfriend (21M) of 4 yrs is mad at me because I posted a drawing I did of an anatomy model who has a similar body type to me (and also something else)

quote:

--THIS IS LONG--

So the other night I had to return a bra to victoria secret because I have grown in breast size and got a size too small. I planned to just grab the size I needed (because I measured myself) and go, but he said "why don't you just have them measure you?" So I took his advice because usually when I don't he says later to me that I should have listened to him.

So while I'm in the fitting room when the lady opens the door to hand me bras to try on apparently he and two other men who were standing at the entrance of the hallway could see my half nude reflection in the mirror they have in the fitting room. Apparently he then tried messaging and calling me but my phone didnt have good reception so I didnt get any messages or calls until 4 messages and a phone call came in all at once. He was pissed and speaking frantically and I couldnt really understand him until he said "Get out of there now Im serious" so I quickly left. I was a little embarrassed because I hadnt been in there too long and felt bad for wasting the fitters time.

So I get out to him and asked what was wrong and he goes "We could see your half nude body in the mirror when she opened the door" and i just kind of stared at him because i was overwhelmed from the attention given to me by the fitter and also his frantic calling. Apparently it pissed him off that I "didn't seem upset that they saw me" (I was and am upset, I didn't want to be seen, but like iI said I was overwhelmed/in shock.) He goes and chews out the manager about it and then tells me we are never going to vic sec again. When we go to leave he walks ahead of me quickly and just throws the door open instead of holding it for me like he usually does. I ask him what the hell his problem is and he said he just really wanted to leave.

Eventually he calmed down but kept bringing it up all night, saying things like "pop quiz, what door is supposed to stay closed?" and poo poo like that. All his anger about it really made me feel sick. I have diagnosed anxiety/depression and when he was mad I got upset and when I get upset I start having involuntary thoughts about killing myself, taking a gun to my head.

Well I started to feel better, and that night I started to practice drawing from an anatomy/pose book I have. I am an artist and I love to draw. I was really proud of my drawing of a model i Did, I added some underwear on her and gave her a different hairstyle though and posted the drawing on my instagram and went to sleep. I wake up to 4 texts from bf saying that the drawing looks like me and he's mad because its like im "trying to show my body off." I tried telling him i dont see myself in it at all and that its a model from a book but he just wont listen and says it looks like me and Im showing my body off. He asked if he shouldnt be upset if I posted an actual nude photo of myself, and I said no because that would literally be a photo of me whereas this is a drawing of a model.

THen he got upset again about the vic sec event and when I tried to explain again that I was overwhelmed he told me it was very sad if I was overwhelemed by trying on bras and having a person talk to me. I told him I felt sick and he was being incredibly mean so I told him to not talk to me until he calmed down. Its been several hours, and I sent him a messge inviting him to my work holiday party but no reply.

So, how do I get it through to him that Im not at fault and the drawing isnt me?

TLDR: BF mad at me over people accidentally seeing me half nude in a mirror at a bra fitting and also that a drawing I did looks like me to him (it doesnt look like me to myself though.)

Finding out a fetish through open sharing is one thing to shame or disassociate from but digging for it or finding it where you expect to find it is p lovely and raises questions about the dirty laundry airing guy and how he found it or why he was looking for it in the first place

I still find it hard for a white dude tho doing the master role to be "not racist" at all and don't see anything positive about this if it's a public thing

About their fear of him telling people:

For like 99% of fetishes, I would honestly be weirded out more by the guy who came to tell me about their weird sex life.

Even if was some morally inept kink, I'd still probably think dirty laundry guy was a little weird for thinking I was interested in knowing in the first place.

I have no mouth and I must post

quote:

My (25 m) wife (29 f) has Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disoder/Borderline personality disorder and refuses treatement.

My wife has a diagnosis of OCPD / BPD and she refuses to get treatment. If I try to write an in depth post it will end up being a mess so I will just write a typical scenarios and you should get the picture.
I recently talked to my wife about her not making sandwiches anymore as I don't like them, at this point I have been eating them for about 4 years out of awkwardness. I've tried to tell her many times I don't like them but she just ignores me. This happens often - I ask her to change something or refrain from doing something, she acknowledges it but then straight up ignores me and continues. If I get even slightly upset about this she will do things like drinking a while bottle of wine and slamming her head into the wall to try and knock herself out.

So I got her to agree not to make sandwiches after a 4 year campaign. Today she makes something that is 2 pieces of bread with melted cheese on top of it. I suggest that this is basically and sandwich and she starts freaking out screaming "IT'S NOT A SANDWICH". She then drinks half a bottle of wine and starts screaming about how I am treating her like a speck of dust and trying to ground her down into nothing. She then insists as she often does that I have planned "since the beginning" to push her to suicide and that I "won't rest" until she is dead. After one of her tantrums she insists on being left alone but if actually do it she will ask how I could be so heartless as to leave her crying for hours.

I asked how I should have approached this situation in her view, she said I should have compromised and eaten it. She then started screaming about how she can't eat all the foods she wants as I don't like everything that she does. She says that I should just compromise and eat everything she wants. I suggest that I will just put something in the oven if she wants to make things I don't like but she argues that this will create "more work" for her. I say I will sort out my own dishes but she starts screaming about how I "don't do it right".

She goes out to get more wine and then comes back and starts screaming about how she "takes responsibility for everything". I ask what she wants me to take responsibility for then? She says she wants me to "sort out our taxes" (we are self employed, she has been for a long time I have been doing it less than a year). I said that I didn't understand what she meant by that as we have hired an accountant to help us. She then starts screaming and calling me a child as well as other really hurtful insults.

This happens frequently, she demands I "take responsibility" but she starts screaming whenever I ask for something more specific than "sort out X". She wanted me to "sort out our health insurance" - I am British and have never had to deal with anything like this in my life, I asked if she could be more specific about what this actually entailed but she just started screaming that I should grow up. In the beginning of the relationship I would try to help with things but she would get really nasty and personal with me for not being instantly proficient.

For the last year I have been dealing with an incurable condition in my ears that has left one ear deaf full of pressure and one is extremely sensitive to sound. I am an electronic music producer and it has been a devastating blow. She has been extremely nasty about it. After it became apparent that my condition would not heal I started trying to get back into making music. The first time I sat down to it I started to cry due to being overwhelmed with the feeling that I had wasted overa decade of work and money. My wife started to freak out saying I was trying to "manipulate her into feeling bad for me" she started screaming that I should "grow up"and that it was a frivolous hobby that didn't make us any money so what was the point.

Pretty much all of my lowest moments have happened in the last year as a result of my ears and pretty much every time my wife has freaked out. She can say insanely hurtful things about it, for example "gently caress your ears I hope you are in pain forever".

Over the last year I have been able to adjust and get back into making music. It will never be the same but at least I haven't let my condition kill who I am. My wife offered basically no encouragement throughout the whole thing. She is extremely bitter and jealous that I have a hobby, she doesn't have any hobbies or interests and whenever I make music she just sits pining for attention. She often freaks out saying that I love music more than her and says ridiculous things like "if making music was a person you would love it more than me".
She is a victim of abuse and is basically what was done to her to me. She has moments of clarity where she recognizes that she is mentally ill but she can go months at a time of denying that there is anything wrong. She tried taking anti-depressants and it made a huge difference she went from having regular tantrums to having 0 almost overnight. She suffered from side effects though and chose to stop taking them.

I have told her that I feel extremely depressed and i feel like I can't deal with this on my own anymore but she just acted like it never happened. We live outside of our own countries and only really have each other, her family won't help and she doesn't really have any friends. It took me years to get her into therapy and when she finally did my ears hosed up and it all fell apart. I thought I was able to handle this but I have been dealt a really poo poo hand this year. I admitted that I couldn't deal with all this alone but was just ignored, what am I supposed to do in this situation?
tl;dr: Wife suffered from childhood abuse had OCPD/BPD, I thought I could deal with it but then ended up with a life changing medical condition. I feel like I can't do this on my own anymore but my wife is not interested in seeking help for us.

Sounds like a terrible situation right? Well the wife found the post, and responded below

quote:

So I am the wife. Of course he'd write a whole post skewed in his favor. Some points:
I raise my voice just 1 decibel louder and apparently I am "screaming". I'm understandably upset about our marriage, as mentioned in his post and in his comment. You'll also see why in a second.

I am solely responsible for everything. And I mean everything. I cook, clean, wash the dishes, do the laundry, put things away (he uses things and just leaves them wherever he wants), clean up after him when he leaves a mess (he's a slob), for a while he wasn't even working so I was the sole income earner, I take care of the finances (he doesn't even know his own PIN number), I take care of all our important papers, I had done all the legwork for our immigration process, etc. etc. You see what it's like, right? I'm incredibly bitter that I ended up adopting a child instead of marrying a partner.

Many of you will say, "well don't do those things and he'll get the message and pick up the slack". Except he won't. As mentioned, he's a slob and would be happy to live in his own filth, but I'm not happy to do so. Oh, did I mention that he's admitted to my face that he'd purposely gently caress up chores when he was with his exes so they'd get fed up and do them themselves?
So you might be asking: why haven't you gotten a divorce? Because he won't let me. I've begged and begged, and he looked me coldly in the eye and said no. Every single day lived with him is torture-walking on eggshells because I can't make the tiniest of noises. He wants me back on antidepressants so I'm sedated and don't feel anything. He literally wants a good little doll to sit quietly in the corner and serve him on hands and knees.

I would like nothing more than to leave him and divorce him but I really don't have the means nor finances to do so currently. We have our good days, and I do love him, but the bad days clearly outweigh the good and he doesn't love me back as much as I do him. It's not normal to be crying your heart out on a daily basis because your spouse treats you so badly.

P.S. I had 2 glasses of wine, not half a bottle. Also, he gets high 24/7 and I'm apparently not allowed a few glasses of wine on a Saturday afternoon when I'm stressed out, so ok.

Another edit: I do not sit around pining for his attention when he makes his music. I have my own work to do. I only had an issue with it years ago when I still had jealousy issues. Definitely not jealous of him having a hobby-more like angry that he'll push off work to do a hobby instead (so he'll end up with less than 40 hours done a week at times), while his wife is working 60 hour weeks.

I have a few questions, mainly why does this dude hate sandwiches? How bad does your marriage have to be for it to devolve into an internet slap fight? How silent is their apartment right now?

Borderline Personality Disorder is hard. A BPD brain is rarely a rational or logical brain. But the fact that she refuses to treat it and work to improve herself must be incredibly rough on the husband because even the most mild case of BPD has an assortment of issues.

But the husband sounds like an entitled piece of poo poo too. She might not know who to cook much and so sandwiches. If you don't like sandwiches cook for yourself. She shouldn't have to be his mommy/nanny.

He'll cook, but it sounds like he's the kinda rear end in a top hat who doesn't believe in doing anything to clean up after he cooks.

I can't blame him for being confused about insurance though, that poo poo is confusing as gently caress for anyone. Taxes though? Give me a fuckin break, it's not like he didn't have to pay them wherever he used to live. Mother fucker should get Turbo Tax.

Based on their replies it seems they are self-employed and based in a Euro zone country which might make taxes kind of difficult. Keep in mind they got married when he was 21 and struggling to make his own music so I'm not sure why she expected a mature breadwinner.

Regardless, they should sever and get therapy in that order.
