My [28F] son [2M] name is Bray. My husband [30M] keeps telling him his name is Goku and it's starting to confuse him.

Wife slaves away baking cookies for his 30 family members, his gift to her is making more money than her and letting her use the joint account so she can do extra work baking for his family.

How do people even get this kind of thought process.

My (22f) boyfriend (22m) has straight up lied about how much he spent on my Christmas gifts[new]
submitted 20 minutes ago by Liarliarbf3
I'll keep this pretty simple as it's not really a huge deal, just something I'm a bit confused about. We joint agreed to spend £60 on each other. A while before Christmas, I asked if we could raise it to 60-70 because there was a few more little things I wanted to get him, and he said that was fine cos he'd spent just over £70.
We opened our presents today and he got me a book, perfume and shoes. I know the book can't have been any more than £10, the perfume was about £15 at the most and I looked up the shoes and they were £20. That total comes to £45, which is a fair bit less than what we agreed. I double checked the prices of the book and perfume and they're all around those price ranges, and he's not an idiot who buys the first thing he sees.
I'm not a material person so I don't really care about how much the presents were, I just want to know why he lied about it?? He's not doing badly for money at the minute and we're open with each other so I'm sure he'd tell me if it was a money related issue.
I don't want to sound petty bringing it up, so shall I just forget about it? Is this some kind of red flag or is my boyfriend just poo poo at maths?
Tldr: we agreed to spend £60-70 on each other and he told me he'd gone slightly over, but I know the total was around £45 at the most.

He's not sorry at all, if he was sorry he wouldn't have done it in the first place. Now he thinks if he acts sad and pathetic enough it'll make it better and that Christmas will forever have that stain on it for her.

loving lol if she was the one who chose to name him Bray, he's going to feel like a jackass and wish he was Goku when he grows up to everyone making donkey sounds at him. Why not have a second kid and get pissed at your husband when he thinks Vegeta is a better name than 'Oink'.

I also decided to make another emote:

L M A O this guy better get her a full blown spa day; mani, pedi, paraffin, hair style, everything. And a foot massage to make up for being such a tremendous wad. Oh she must just be exhausted from all that baking. I'm 25 weeks and had to threaten my husband into not getting me a years worth of spa treatments like the one I mentioned and so reading that guy actually trying to pin her reaction on being pregnant is just all the more infuriating.

[33/F] My son [14/M] found my toys, it has been very awkward since...

A week ago, my 14 year old son came up to me with one of my sex toys in his hands asking me why I have these. I have shocked that he had found them and it was embarassing and awkward as we never really touched that subject with him. He clearly knew what they were and meant for, I didn't know how to react so I got really mad at him at the time which I shouldn't have of. I snatched it back from him while flustered and I did not handle it well, it became really awkward between the two of us. I normally put them away in my underwear drawer beneath my panties and thongs etc. which there would be no reason for my son to find them. But somehow he found them and since then we have spoke little to eachother and its just been very awkward and embarrassing for both him and I. I have asked him if he wants to talk about it but to no avail. My husband is out of town and I want to resolve the issue before he gets back. What should I do?

TL:DR My son found one of my sex toys and I did not react well, now things have been awkward for the past week. What should I do?

My (22f) three sisters-in-law (17f, 17f, 16f next week) have been shoplifting hundreds of dollars of makeup.

My sisters-in-law are generally good kids. They're varsity cheerleaders, honor roll students in college prep and honors classes, they help at home, they babysit my other SIL's son, all three work at a resort, just generally good kids. However, they recently started bragging to my wife (22f) and I (we are gay for clarification, together 6 years. Married 2) that they, especially the youngest, have been shoplifting at a large makeup chain store. One of them even shoplifted a Naked makeup pallet for their mom as a Christmas gift. The youngest one has stolen probably close to a thousand dollars in makeup, with over a hundred per trip. I think we need to tell their mother. My wife is afraid of ruining her relationship with them. They are going to end up in juvie if this continues. My wife's other sister (20f) also thinks it may be time to talk to their mother.

Tldr; teenage sisters in law are shoplifting large amounts of expensive makeup. What do I do?

My girlfriend [18/F] is disrespectful [25/M]

My girlfriend ocassuanly calls me stupid, pathetic, a joke. Today she poked my head asking if I can use this.

In her opinion my ego is too big and I should accept it as something normal.

In mine that a relationship needs respect and she has to be responsible for her actions and "that's how I am, it's not personal." Doesn't work.

What do you think r/relationship? Can a relationship without respect be healthy?

tl;dr Disrespectful girlfriend refuses to change.

I [27/F] gave my brother-in-law [20/M] a blowjob while drunk and now he is blackmailing me with it

This happened during our Christmas family gathering, everyone was quite drunk at the time and I made the mistake of giving my brother-in-law a blowjob. My husband had passed out at the time and does not know anything about this. I don't know what came over me, I was drunk and felt sympathy for him since his girlfriend broke up with him on Christmas eve. I regret having done so and we both agreed to forget this ever happened and never talk about it. However, the very next day he started sexting me and making further advances, even flirting at me while my husband is around. I told him to stop but he then took to blackmailing me that he would tell my husband and even the entire family about what we did if I didn't send him sexual photos and do him sexual favors in a passive-aggressive way. I don't know if he is serious or not but I can't take any chances of anyone finding this out... What should I do?

Edit: He is going back to university soon in about two weeks, I am considering just following what he says until he leaves and hopefully get a girlfriend, I'm unsure whether or not this is a good choice although...

tl;dr: I made the mistake and gave my brother-in-law a blowjob when drunk, he has since then made advances on me and blackmailing me if I didn't do what he says.

Sisters and I [32 F] want your advice on situation with our sister [27 F], who is getting married in a few days

Alright, we've been lurking here since yesterday, and we want your advice. There's five of us, and the middle sister is going to get married in a couple of days to her fiance, legally. So, the situation is that there is a guy who likes her, he's alright, he's liked our sister for years, we know it, we can tell, he was even hitting on her and flirting. She wanted the attention and invited it. A couple of years ago, when she was with her fiance, my sister got flirted by hard by this guy, she liked the attention, but ultimately dismissed him completely. Later on, about half a year, we found out from a mutual friend that he wanted to make our sister jealous, so he asked another one of our sisters to get married with him. They aren't married, though. We all think that it was wrong, and that he was desperate for our sister's attention and that he wanted her, but he's still trying to pursue our other sister, and it makes us uncomfortable.

Right now, I'm not staying with them, but from what I can tell, is that both sisters are fighting over which one he likes, as in, 'he likes me', 'no, he likes me, not you'. That's what could be happening with them.

The other day he posted a few pictures of one of our sisters online, and we don't know why but it was creepy, although he said that the pictures were for holiday spirit as they were Christmas themed. Maybe we're overracted, that's what he said. So we want your take on this entire matter, because you know this better than us. What is going on, is this similar to what you have to deal with?

We don't if he will call our sister or message her to not go through with the marriage, but, in any case, if he does he'd be showing our other sister, the one he asked to marry, that he actually wanted another sister all along. We haven't encountered this kind of thing before, that's why we're asking you.
Our sister, the one he likes, is sad and disappointed about all this, but she gave him a chance to talk with her again, and she likes him. We're also sad and disappointed, but at the end of the day, we think he was dumb but we don't know what else to think. What do you think?

I hope that you can help us out.

tl;dr Our sister is getting married legally in a couple of days, there is a guy who likes her and he may end up contacting her to tell her to cancel the marriage. We don't know what to think of him, and want your opinion on him, the situation, and what we should do. Please let us know if you need more details and information.

Your "sister" (aka...you) already posted this multiple times. I believe the general consensus was that she is batshit crazy, and needs therapy.

The post you responded to is definitely a side account by the OP. I am actually super fascinated by the multiple roles being played here -- I wonder how often this happens online.

It's either:

(a) GuyA pretended to like SisterA because he thought he could get with SisterB this way somehow, but now GuyA is marrying SisterA even though he really likes SisterB?
(b) GuyA really liked SisterB and SisterB is getting married to GuyB

I get the hunch it's B and the most makes no god drat sense. If it were A, it'd make a mild amount of sense but that's just not how the post is structured.
