That story really is a blackout bingo: "relationship being opened is already in trouble," "brief encounter with stranger leads to unfounded optimism about one's romantic prospects in an open relationship," "someone gets pregnant," "somehow spirituality is involved?", "drugs," and the Free Space, "narrator is the most insufferable man alive." Christ, I'm a straight woman and I would have slept with the wife to spite that fucker.

quote:

I am 33 and I made this has been the worst year of my life.

4 years ago I fell in love with a lovely girl, E, who was 24 at the time. She is perfect - beautiful, smart and witty. Somehow she fell for me too and our relationship was perfect. She gave up everything and moved half way across the country to follow me to my dream job. Everything was amazing.

In April this year a new girl, NG, started at my workplace, and I became infatuated. She was super friendly, and I kept reading signs that she was into me.

I’ve always thought of myself as a pretty nice guy and wouldn’t betray E ever. Months went by and my obsession had grown exponentially. So (and I know some goons are expecting this) I started to look into open relationships. I read books, watched documentary and looked at forums for advice. I knew E had never considered this, and I had never until this point. I had to have NG.

Eventually one drunken night I brought it up, E kept thinking I was joking so I let it die. A few days later I plucked up the courage and told E everything, about NG, about how we could start to see other people whilst still being a couple. Exactly like online guides said I should bring it up.

E didn’t speak to me for a week. She was clearly angry and understandably so. However, to my amazement in July she agreed. I was ecstatic, I had the perfect loving life.

E was working a pretty lovely job, but going to the gym and there were a few guys there she said she wouldn’t mind hooking up with. My heart twisted, but its only fair I thought.

After a few days I asked out NG, and this is where it falls apart. She’s a loving lesbian, a femme or lipstick or whatever. She’s just a friendly person. But she is mortified that I would do this to E. Eventually it spreads through the whole company, and I am an office joke.

Meanwhile E has already hooked up with a few guys. Eventually she starts regularly seeing a guy named M. He’s tall, fit, etc. Better shape than me.

I go out regularly on my own, because other than my work and E I know no-one in this place. I haven’t even gotten a number. Other than a few girls who stopped replying Tinder has only matched me with bots.

E and I have grown apart. She’ll sleep at M’s place. She doesn’t kiss me goodbye anymore, but she is still eerily friendly with me.

E would rarely orgasm through penetration, so I’d often go down on her or use a toy. Several times I’ve walked into our apartment before and heard E and M in bed. M makes her come through just loving, she clearly loves it. She’s giving him everything as well, I think even anal which I never got.

I know a lot of people will think this sounds a lot like SA’s favourite C-word but its not really the same.

I've still not hooked up with anyone. NG and the office hate me. E doesn't sleep with me anymore. Instead last night I sat in the apartment, reading the forums when E came out our bedroom dripping with M’s cum. She just looked at me and said hey as she walked to the bathroom.

I know no one here, all my bridges are burnt. Can I convince her to be exclusive again? A lovely as I may seem I can’t bare the thought of losing her and being alone.

oh boy

All he would have ever had to do to clear all of this up is say casually "You know, if I weren't already with someone, you're the kind of person I'd like to be with." and she would have said "Lol that's neat but I'm gay."

Just one honest, genuine statement of how you are feeling, but not an honest pursuit of an affair. No fuckin' problem. Incredible.

Well, what do you think of them? I think they're a lazy, eye-rolling cinematic trope with a side of presenting mental illness in a negative manner.

I guess it's a pretty weird question if you guys weren't talking about movies or fiction or whatever.

Crotchfruit is being a brat, I buy the last 3 cake pops, mombie as the audacity to ask me for one

quote:

Ok so I was at Starbucks about 30 minutes before closing. Originally I only went in for a drink and a donut. There was a line so as I stood in it here comes a "let me speak to your manager" type of mombie with her whiny crotchfruit. So anyways the brat keeps getting louder because it wants a cake pop. You know those cake balls on sticks? There was 3 left. So anyways mombie gives into her speshul shitflake and says she will buy him one. Well when I get up to the counter I order my original order and then "oh yes and 3 cake pops please" to which the cashier gave me a knowing smirk because the brat wasnt exactly quiet about his demands. Well this drives the brat to a loving meltdown and mombie says "thanks alot bitch" which I just shrug off and say "your brat your problem" and that was that. So I got my stuff and went over to one of the sofas with my headphones in. Drinking my drink and eating one of the cake pops because gently caress they are good. I could still hear the brat screaming its ugly little face off in the distance however. Anyways about 5 minutes later mombie comes over to me and stands there until I realize she is there but I dont look up from my phone until I hear a bitchy excuse me! So I look up and she says "look all my son wants is a cake pop would you be ever so kind as to give him one?" so I know this is my perfect chance to say "well lady, I could do that but your brat has been disturbing this establishment the whole time you were in here and then you called a perfectly good stranger a bitch for ordering what they wanted. So no, now leave me alone" I put my headphones back in before she can get a word in and she stormed off with her brat.
Which would be worse, this being an actual thing a person did, or a bitter fantasy that they wrote one handed?

This is from a while back but I just wanted to say that yes. Yes they do. My sister was diagnosed with it at the age of thirty, I'm a good few years younger than her and growing up was kind of horrible. I don't have a single happy memory of my time spent with her. I do, however, have hosed up shoulders that pop out of socket any time I pick up something slightly heavy. So, hey, neat party trick I guess. :smith:

My boyfriend [18 M] of over a year wants a very realistic looking "sex toy" (I'm 18 F)
My boyfriend and I have been dating for over a year now, and have always been very passionate in regards to intimacy. We grew up in close towns in my home state, and met on MeetMe and have had a great relationship. I moved off to college in August in a neighboring state. Now, I am finishing up my first semester of college, and I feel like he is getting tired of me.

It has been final exam time so I have been mentally locked into my schoolwork. He has been very persistent about his desires lately (trying not to be too graphic, I apologize) and he feels as though I am shutting him down, when in reality, I just have to focus on college.
I'm very conservative about relationships and I believe in 100% emotional and physical commitment. I don't condone pornography of any sort, unless it is personal pictures between the two of us.

Recently, he has asked to purchase a very realistic "sex toy" in place of me while I am away at college. I feel hurt and betrayed that he would even consider something like that in place of something beautiful that is supposed to be between 2 people. Am I being irrational with my feelings about this? I don't want to seem controlling, but I feel as though I'm not good enough for him anymore. Any advice on this situation would help.
On one hand, he's asking which means he isn't just going out and buying his fake vagina. On the other hand, this is a comical mismatch between people. "Honey, can I buy a silicone gently caress box?"

Ah yes, the "porn is bad", "masturbation with a sex toy is wrong", "it makes me feel like I'm not good enough" mentality. Definitely because sexuality is a rigidly defined set of natural laws governing who can get aroused by what, where, when, and how and must be obeyed at all times or else you don't love your partner. Definitely not because of deep seated insecurities that must be projected upon any potential romantic partners to avoid accidentally triggering a sexual awakening.

What's double weird about it is that he's clearly more interested in maintaining their relationship if he wants a sex toy to keep himself occupied. If he didn't care about her he'd just be out there trying to score with college girls. No one's going to have sex with the guy who has a flesh light.

EDIT: she should compromise and buy him one of the gay butt ones.

Those r/childfree posts are :psyduck:. I'm starting to think that some of them resent children solely because it brings to focus all the childish stuff they are into and embarrassing themselves by having to compete with literal children. Were they themselves filled with self loathing at being a child at one point in their own childhood?

The other half seem jealous of all the social advantages of being a parent but obviously don't want to put in the sacrifices and work that goes into it.

Me [27 M] with my girlfriend [23 F] of 1 year, disapproves of me going to a bachelor party with strippers.

quote:

I went to a bachelor party this past weekend, and the host invited strippers over for entertainment. I told my girlfriend about this because I like to be transparent and honest about everything. And now she things that my friends and I are disgusting people. She told me that she doesn't want to look at me anymore or even be touched by me. What's the best course of action to help heal these wounds. We have been dating for around a year, and have never gotten into a serious conflict like this.

TL;DR went to a bachelor party with strippers, gf angry. How do I make Amands?
I liked this one because when I read the title I thought it was a preemptive veto.

quote:

I told her the nights events. Play by play. We started with video games, played some ping pong, poker. I told her I got quite drunk. Strippers showed up. I felt uncomfortable, hung out back while they did they're thing with the bachelor. That's when she told me I should've have left the party. I told her I didn't know how to react to a situation like that. I told her I didn't do any dances with them, it really isn't my thing. And that she needs to trust me. She said I crossed the line. And should not have been there during the entertainment.
He didn't even know there would be strippers. It wasn't even on the invitation. This post is really funny to me, mostly because it's not my girlfriend of one year. I'm also not a fan of strippers, but I wouldn't leave a bachelor party due to them either. I'd probably do exactly what he did.

At the very least, we know they didn't actually say that stuff. I could see the cake pop thing happening. You'd have to be a ridiculously spiteful manchild, but we all know what subreddit it came from.

The weirdest thing about childfree is that so many posters are either adult children or over compensate to a ridiculous degree with pets. I'm probably not having kids. So I'm not judging the choice to not have them. But, basing your identity around that and having similar, exaggerated traits seems so odd to me. Some of them seem to just want to differentiate themselves from or feel superior to people who have children. Which is most people. Also odd to me.

It's probably good most of those childfree people aren't going to have kids otherwise there'd be more of them.

My [20M] girlfriend [20F] isn't treating my handheld fairly. How much of a problem is this?

Hello r/relationships, throwaway because she knows I reddit and browses with me.

We're both college students, dating one year and a half now, known each other for two. We've been living together in a frat for an year and also are co-interns for about an year too. I don't think there's anything wrong between us, except this...

More or less in the middle of the year I bought a Nintendo 3DS for myself, used, for the price of two internship salaries. (3DS's are expensive here and my salary is half-time minimum wage.) I never shared it with her because she never was too interested in games, until I got a cartridge that allows me to pirate games.

Trying to make her happy and interest her in games, I suggested her trying Yokai Watch on my 3DS. Just a day after, she damaged the thumbstick with her nails and then after hit it against a hard surface and chipped some plastic. These were both by accident, and only damaged the console aesthetically. I was a bit sad, of course, and she offered to fix it or even buy a new one for me, but I said that was too much. Just change the stick somewhere and glue the plastic, not that much of a biggie.

Today, she was pretty stuck on a Yokai Watch battle. Not used to video games, forgot to save before a boss battle and lost a lot of in-game money. But, as I happened to watch her try, she was getting so pissed at it to the point that she punched the console. What the hell?

I can understand not being careful on day 1 and hurting the console a bit, ok. I can understand being pissed at a game and punching a pillow, ok. I can't understand punching an expensive electronic device that's not even yours.

My question is, how much of a problem is this? Is this something to glance over, or to demand a new console, or an understandable position in between? I am, honestly, stumped.

Thanks for your advice in advance.

TL;DR: Girlfriend abused my (expensive) console a bit, okay. Girlfriend punches it, and now it's a problem. However, how big of a problem is it?
