He should just stop being a dick about something no one in modern Poland gives a poo poo about because modern Poland and Germany are pretty good friends.

Also it's her loving hobby jesus. This one annoys me more than a ton of the stories in this thread. "Stop doing this thing you love to do because I'm a dumb idiot and also cater to my stupid expectations"

Had one friend cover another in kraft singles while he was asleep at a cookout two years ago. The person got back at the cheeser by unwrapping a condom and putting some lotion in it and putting it on cheeser's face while cheeser was asleep

Although it is possible that Youtube and internet culture have accelerated the practice.

Me [29 F] with my _gf__ [28 F] says God speaks to her and told her we are not meant to be

quote:

Gf of 3 years told me when we first started dating God speaks to her when she prays silently. She asks him questions on difficult situations and he tells her what to do but only when she calls on him to do so. We separated for a year and after coming back from another relationship started sleeping with me again. She has become disinterested some and i called her out on it. I was able to have her admit she has someone else shes talking to and eyeing a relationship.

She says she loves me and i told her when you love someone you communicate, resolve, maintain honesty, take responsibility for your actions. She says she loves me so much and would love to marry me but God has said there is another woman for me. To prove she loves me she came over and slept with me LAST NIGHT. Her exact words were " always remember, God gave you my virginity." Only to wake up this morning to tell me we should start distancing ourselves.

She maintains contact with her other ex BF willing to see him. Is talking to this new guy all the while swearing to me she loves me and doesn't want to hurt me. She has kept our relationship open under the guise that God keeps throwing people her way. God also told her my future wife and i will drive by her house in the near future and laugh at her for being a silly girl...

how can someone paint themselves to be so divine and do whatever they want with no guilt? It always God's decision not hers.

tl;dr: What to do?

Cutting someone's hair is not a prank either. I have a pretty long hair, I would say it takes about four years to grow it out? That's four years of work. If someone did that to me, I would expect them to pay for bonded extensions, which I think is like $1000 or something.

With regards to the brother's "Prank" that cost his younger brother 45k dollars. Whoever's running his AA Program spectacularly hosed up.

quote:

Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

It basically says to not admit to doing something unless you're willing to directly pay for it, or if admitting that you did so will cause harm. Younger Brother is completely in the right to say "I'm glad you're getting sober but I'm no longer talking with you until you start paying me back."

Yeah, as somebody who knows a few things about loving up due to my lovely problems (not nearly that bad holy poo poo) if the brother didn't follow that apology with 'and now I will give you money every month until the debt is repaid' then it wasn't actually an apology.

It'll probably cause the older brother hardship and might take decades, but that isn't the point, because that's exactly the situation he put his little brother in.

Also man that level of rear end in a top hat isn't even covered by alcoholism, that's just innate assholeness.

If his little sibling chooses to forgive him he has a big heart, but I sincerely hope he never forgets what his brother did for his own security. That is not a person you can trust, ever.

It's assault. Not even joking. It's legally on the same grounds as punching someone in the face or groping them without their consent. If they took him to civil court rather than criminal they could sue him for battery.

It makes sense that it is too, because if I had hair that took more than a month or two to grow I'd rather get punched in the face than have someone cut it off without my consent.

I'm not advocating getting the courts involved, but I would have said that to my father rather bluntly. The alternative being, they should have roughed up him up a bit.

All days are nights to see till I see thee; and nights bright days when dreams do show me thee.
A literal doormat gained sentience, found a terrible girlfriend, and posted on reddit.

Trigger Warning: Slightly sad? They guy realizes the situation sucks but has super low self esteem, but he says he is ugly and boring so maybe he just knows whats up.

I [23M] know that logically I should break up with my girlfriend [19F] of six months but I don't see "better" coming out of it

quote:

Hello internet friends, I have quite the conundrum and I just can't bring myself to making a decision.

Preface, my girlfriend and I have been together for six months now. During this time we have only really had extreme highs and extreme lows. By which I mean, we go back and forth between her cheating on me and her being head over heels in love with me.

At first, it was with her ex because "she still loved him" however she claims she no longer has feelings for him and only loves me. I would be inclined to believe her, but when I am busy (at work, mostly) she spends most of her time with him, supposedly.

Now, and over the past two months, she has been seeing some guy she met on Tinder. She messages him constantly, even when we're together and hides her phone from me. We blew up and fell apart two months ago when it started; I dropped her off at home and watched her get into his car and drive off.
In the past month or so, things seemed to be going well. She would look at me with love in her eyes and always wanted to be with/near me. She would always say how much she loved me and that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with me. Was planning on having me go to her sister's wedding next year. I really thought she might have turned around.

So far this week, she blew me off twice and had a lame excuse to not see me. Sunday was because I had some friends over and she didn't want to interrupt "guy time" despite all week asking if she could come over. Tuesday night she said for me not to come over after work, that her dad was asleep and I needed rest as I have started to come down with a head cold.

Wednesday, I had the opportunity to check her phone and she saw her Tinder friend on Tuesday night, and vaguely planned to see him again. She also wanted to go see him Sunday but he refused.

Now, we are in a huge fight. She is saying that I am out of line to read her private messages, which I suppose is technically correct, but she has been denying seeing him or anyone at all. Now that I know, she has admitted to seeing him "once a month or so" but I doubt that. It's probably every three or four days. I also only checked the messages of Tinder friend, so I'm not sure how many guys she is seeing but I have always suspected three or four others.
I also suggested an open relationship, and she was disgusted by that. Her exact words were "Why even bother be dating then? I might as well just call you my fuckbuddy instead of my boyfriend." Irony, right?

I know that the logical thing to do is to leave her and never look back, but it isn't quite that simple. I am not particularly attractive, rather simple/boring and not successful. I want to go back to school but that won't be for another two years or so. This is my first relationship that lasted longer than a week, and I've done nothing but strike out so far in my life. I also have a rather small social circle, the result of friends/roommates who got into hard drugs and I cut them out of my life when it started getting out of control.

I guess what I'm trying to ask is, is it worth it to play dumb and put up with the abuse? Or should I go back to being single and alone forever?

TL;DR
Repeat offender cheating girlfriend who won't stop. Do I put up with it or be alone, realistically forever?

I mean, I could have bolded the entire thing really.
