Gotta wonder why the guy's doctor refused the vasectomy. Maybe they mentioned the Youtube guy in the office or something and he was like, "no way am I performing an operation caused by a Youtube video"

My friend Anna and I have been friends for over 10 years. We even went to the same college together and both majored in the same thing. I had a pretty rough time for a few years due to cancer treatment, so I was out of the job market for a while.

Since it hasn't been so easy to find a job, she told me to join her startup and if I liked it, I could receive equity or a salary if I preferred - her words exactly.

I have been working super hard on her business, but it's been 6 months and neither has happened. Now she's saying that if somebody wants equity, they'd have to invest. And at the same time, she's not really generating any money to hire staff yet. So it feels totally dead end to me.
It's been great having to deal with different work situations, but at the same time, I can't keep at this forever. I need to be able to move out of my parent's place and provide for myself etc.

I have been applying to jobs and have had a few successful interviews at a particular company.I feel awkward about telling her I need to move on, but I don't wanna mess up our friendship.

tl;dr: My best friend of 10 years has offered me a job at her startup, but with no compensation. I feel like I need to move on, but I am having trouble talking to her about it.

To me, this is the kind of bowel movement you have once in your life and immediately loving turn everything around to keep it from ever happening again. How do you reach the point where you're goatse'ing yourself just to go to the bathroom and thinking 'this is fine'?

I thought the point of a vasectomy was that it was easily reversible, though, I guess what I'm saying is that if his girlfriend is so child-free she should have gotten her own dang tubes tied

Vasectomies are very not reversible frequently. As it was explained to me somewhere the sperm is now getting out of it's little containment area and you can develop anti bodies that start killing them, at that point reattaching the tubes won't help.

So last month, my girlfriend got in a fight with another girl. The other girl was wearing a ring and got my girlfriend right in the eye and scratched it. It ended up getting infected so it had to be removed. Ever since then she's been avoiding me

Context was girlfriend is 19 and was a little sister with big brothers big sisters. Former big sister had some alcohol issues, freaked out about 'dykes' and spit on girlfriends face when she reasonably got angry. Girlfriend punches her after getting spit at, girl takes a swing and her ring scratches her eye which then gets infected and has to be removed.


yikes

My wife had a few exes contact her during our engagement to try and talk her out of it. It was bizarre. Each time she politely declined to even have the conversation and told them that it wasn't their concern. She also had two "nice guy" friends. One called her a cold hearted bitch for marrying someone he (the 'it's my job to protect you' thing) doesn't even know and the other told me that if I hurt her, he would hurt me and would be with her to take care of her.

My story of people with one eye:

My brother and I met a guy on the 3rd of July named Gonzo, he was a one-eyed Mexican chap, very cool dude. In Chicago the 3rd of July used to (maybe still is?) be the day they did fireworks so everyone went downtown, got hammered and watched fireworks. We met Gonzo while he was pulling beer out of his trunk (he had a literal trunk of beer) and decided we would hang out with him. Got drunk, watched fireworks, yay. We went to party at some person's house afterwards, Gonzo drove, he was attempting to parallel park and was having trouble. My brother and I heckled him because he couldn't park his car in a spot a loving jumbo jet could land, but then he said something I will never forget "I have one eye you fucks", it then dawned on us, depth perception does not happen very well with one eye and we felt bad . We helped him park, then drank long into the night and launched bananas off the roof with a large slingshot.


That is my cyclops story.

losing an eye to a ring is bad but not as bad as the worst eye removal story I've seen which is some girl wore non eye friendly glitter as eyeshadow and some got in her eye and got infected and it had to be removed

Our nephew/son Charlie is 2 years old and the product of an affair. My sister Crystal cheated on her husband and she wanted to get an abortion but she left it way to late. It was confirmed she was having a boy and our sister Angela did not feel right about him being adopted into some unknown family or spending years in foster care, or being with a mom that did not want him. She was already a mother to 5 girls [4F, 6F, 8F and 10 F] and has an amazing job. So Angela adopted Charlie and it helped that Angela's daughters had been nagging her for a little brother. They were and still are head over heels for Charlie when they met him.
Crystal moved all the way to the east coast after that to be with her new man Dom. They moved back to the west coast just a month ago. Crystal has been keeping to herself and has been mainly been speaking to our parents. Crystal has demanded that Charlie not be at Christmas we normally spend with our parents. They're agreeing to it and told us Charlie can't come at all. They told me they're happy to have her home.
Advice please?
TL;DR: Sister has lost her mind. She had an affair and got pregnant. My older sister adopted her son Charlie [2 Years] and she vanished for 2 years. Now she's back and demanding Charlie not be allowed at Christmas and our parents are agreeing.

Oh, hey, it's another "Christmas is for family, except your baby" story:

I will admit this one at least has a reason besides "I'm just terrible, just so drat terrible," but what the hell?

quote:

So a guy 25 male, and a girl 25 female get it on.

Guy gets a text from roommate asking for something in the fridge. Guy picks up the phone while girl is on top to respond.

His reason is that the household is very traditional and doesnt want his roommates to know he's having sex.

Girl asks her friends if what he did was "super loving disrespectful". Her friends say yes and girl screencaps it to show her bf.

BF gets offended that she asked her friends, screenshotted the convo and showed him their responses.

Please name wrongs of both parties.

Tl;dr guy and girl disagree whether texting during sex was okay or not

What in the heck? If I were in this situation, I would bring the kid just to spite these crazy people. What kind of batshit insane rear end in a top hat family disallows a 2 year old kid to Christmas, regardless of the circumstances? What message does that send to his siblings, let alone the little boy himself?

Me [27 M] with my Indian GF [29 F] been together for 2 months, not sure if she is real

I am from India (moved recently) and met another Indian girl here (she is been here for sometime now). We started dating despite the fact that she was older than me and a different religion (somewhat a big deal for her). We were having fun and we still are most of the times. My pain points:
She has dated Americans before - always tells me how big their dicks are and that the sex is better.

How Americans treat their women and how they are better people etc?

Wants open relationship at some point in life, something that I haven't thought about.

Not sure if she is for real though, she is super honest and tells me everything about her past. Should I continue to date her even after I know that I may not have a bigger dick (mine is average over 6 inches) and may not have a lifestyle like an American.

TL;DR Indian male meets another Indian women in America who has hosed other American dudes with bigger dicks. Insecurity over this and not sure if this is a good idea.

Me [28 M] and this girl [25 F] have a crush on each other but she has a number of qualities that deeply concern me. Would it be a bad idea to ask her out or what?

For the first time in my life I have finally met someone I have a crush on who likes me back (ABOUT loving TIME!!). The problem is she has a number of qualities that deeply concern me and I'm thinking it would be a bad idea to date her. For instance:
-she's a heavy smoker
-she had a kid at a very young age (perhaps in her late teens)
-she likes drinking & partying (I'm not into that stuff)
-she's given mixed signals
-I'm not very physically attracted to her
-we have absolutely nothing in common
-she was showing signs of interest in me while she was still with her boyfriend (they are no longer together)

So I'm sure you're now wondering: why the flying gently caress do I even have a crush on her in the first place?! And honestly I HAVE NO loving IDEA. If I knew the answer I wouldn't need to be writing this, now would I? Usually any ONE of those qualities would instantly make me incapable of having feelings for someone, but she is the most incredibly sweet & friendly person I've ever met in my life, and despite my every effort to not have a crush on her it has persisted now for many years. Plus we both get along really well, she is very easy to talk to, and we have each other's numbers, so it would be very easy for me to ask her out if I wanted to. But I really don't know if I want to given that I already know we're almost completely incompatible with each other.

So here are my questions: Would it really hurt to go on a date just for the hell of it, even if I know it's not going to lead anywhere? Just because it's like the first opportunity I've ever had to do so? Or should I friendzone her? Or should I just stay away from this girl?

tl;dr: We like each other yet we are almost completely incompatible and she has a number of potential red flags that deeply concern me (see list above). So I have 3 questions:
1.) Would it be a bad idea to go on a date just for the hell of it?
2.) Should I friendzone her?
3.) Should I just stay away from this girl?

My brother admitted to a "prank" that drastically changed my life 7 years ago.

7 years ago when I [17M] was preparing for college at 17 I was trying to find scholarships. I applied to a scholarship run by a local family using money from a man in the family who was very wealthy. They eventually announced that a girl from our town had won and I thought nothing of it.

My brother [27M] is now in AA and is "making amends." He admitted to me that I won the contest. He said that an old teacher of his was on the scholarship board and saw him at the store, and brought it up to him assuming we knew. But we didn't know as the letter hadn't come in the mail yet. But after she said something he knew, and when the letter came he took it.

He was mad at me at the time (now he doesn't even remember why) and says that he responded to the letter thanking them but telling them I had received a full ride scholarship to the school of my choice and no longer needed funding. He gave them his own cell phone number and said they could call him with any questions. He says they did and he just convinced them I didn't need the scholarship and they should give it to someone else, so they did.

He admits it was lovely of him but doesn't seem to think it was a big deal. He doesn't even see the value of the money lost because I still got to go to college, but the difference was that I ended up 40k in debt with student loans. I still owe 35k and the interest is counting. The scholarship would have paid out a total of 45k over the course of my college education as long as I maintained minimum grades.

His prank cost me tens of thousands of dollars. I know he's in AA and the goal is to make amends and fix relationships, but this honestly makes me never want to see him again. I spent college SO incredibly stressed over money and this could have solved so much of it, and he did this over something he can't even remember now.

Where do I go from here? Am I "supposed to" let this go? Sorry this is kind of a rant, I don't really know what I'm asking other than just general advice of how this should affect my relationship with him. I feel like I don't want any relationship with him at all now but I know I might regret that years down the road.

tl;dr: My brother was mad at me and did something that caused me to lose tens of thousands of dollars. He's admitting it now as part of AA. How do I keep a relationship with him when I've never been more angry with someone in my life? Should I even try?
