That would be the solution if she hadn't mentioned talking to him previously about not always being OK with him finishing inside her and him continuing to do it anyway, at this point the solution is breaking up with him because he's a disrespectful shitbag. If he really has such poor control that he can't pull out in time then it's pretty much on him to start using condoms to respect his partner's wishes

in which the op is unable to say no to her fatass cousin
Me [28 F] with my cousin [30 F] known all my life, wants to join my trip to Thailand. But she has a binge eating disorder.

quote:

I've known my cousin all my life. She is a close person to me. However, I've realized she has a binge eating disorder her entire life. I didn't know it had a name, but I've known it was a huge problem since she was little. She will eat three plates of food whenever she would come over and then eagerly take some to go home even if everyone hasn't finished eating...
Whenever I go out to a restaurant with her, she must always try my food. It gets very annoying especially when it's something like a burrito so I have to give it to her to bite into. If I don't finish all of my food, she demands that I pass the plate on to her to finish. She'll excuse it by saying "I'm off my track, but later I'll get back on my regimen." Or "I'm on vacation so it doesn't count"

When we traveled abroad, as someone extremely health-conscience, I found it very dismaying to see someone eat an entire pizza pie and then ask me if I was going to finish my food while I was still eating. I couldn't order anything without having to pass her a piece of my food to try. Every time. This is nothing normally, but it really irks me when I haven't even tried my own food first. Or when I'm being stared at as I take the first bite because I know she'll ask me to try it. I once asked if I could have some fries off her plate (I didn't want to order an entire plate I just wanted a few) and she said no because she was really hungry and then asked to eat what I hadn't finished again.. "Nope!" I snapped and reminded her that she didn't give me a single French fry, but I felt uncomfortable right away seeing her facial expression turn to embarrassment. And I also felt a little catty, going down to her level. And so did my friend sitting with us.

If we order a shared appetizer or side, forget it, I have to race to get my half of the plate or she will finish it (i rarely do this anymore). In another occasion she ate all of the bread in the basket before our food arrived. It was a HUGE basket of bread... I couldn't help but stare horrified. "You ate all that bread?!" I blurted out. I felt uncomfortable immediately. But I can feel myself getting fed up and I fear I will snap in Thailand. I can't let it get to that!

She's not a bad person, and she's very educated, kind, generous, compassionate and holds a good job... but I don't know how to tell her "I'm sorry I said you could come, but after having dinner with you last night I just remembered that your eating disorder is something I can't overlook and it will plague me as we travel through Thailand."
Do I tell her I'm worried about her eating disorder? I wonder if she even knows she has one? She constantly posts videos on her FB page celebrating women with big bodies.. This worries me that she's proud of this issue?! while loving yourself is one thing... encouraging unhealthy addictions is not loving yourself.
I would have loved for her to come. She's not a bad travel buddy except for her eating disorder...

tl;dr: my close cousin has binge eating disorder, I can't bare to keep watching her do this.. but she wants to take a 3 week Thailand trip. I initially said yes excited and then my brain kicked in. Do I talk to her about it? Am I being an rear end in a top hat? Do I lie?

Prank gone wrong and I need help!



I'm 27 years old and my girlfriend of 3 years is also 27. I work at a local news station, and we close out our morning broadcast every Friday with a light hearted, fun story and / or video. Usually has to do with local ties, stories, etc.

Now, I work under a news anchor that's pretty arrogant, egotistical, and a lot of people seem to have problems with him. Yet, no matter what he seems to have a pretty secure job for whatever reason. While he and I get along (moreso I'm able to deal with him), my girlfriend cannot stand him, yet is nice to him for my sake.

Well today, he decided 30 seconds before we went to air that our final funny story / video was an embarrassing video my girlfriend posted on Facebook the other day. I knew she'd be a little upset, but like a "of course you guys did this" upset.

She, of course, was watching at work and instantly texted me freaking out. I told her to calm down it was just a harmless joke. She was upset because she now thinks she's the laughing stock of the entire area. The video wasn't intended as such, and she's blocked my co-workers on Facebook, told me to "gently caress off", and told me to leave her alone and not come home this weekend. I apologized, and tried explaining my self like I am here, but she wouldn't hear of it.

So, what do I do now? She's pissed at me, and my co-workers are going to be complaining, and probably calling her names saying she can't take a joke, and upset she blocked them. I'm really stuck here. Even though it wasn't my call to air the video, and I thought it was harmless fun she'd get a chuckle out of...here I am stuck in a terrible place. My anxiety isn't helping matters either.

TD;DR: Co-Worker and I played a public prank on my gf thinking she'd get a laugh out of it, she got pissed, told me not to come home, blocked my co-workers on Facebook...now they're upset with her for being petty...and here I am stuck smack dab in the middle.

My parents [60's M/F] told me [32F] they don't love my nephews [6/8 M] as much as my kids because they're biracial


My parents have three kids, me [32F], my sister "Rachel" [28F], and our older brother "Ralph" [35M]. We're a typical WASP family from New England. Ralph was never the golden child, despite being the oldest and only son- he didn't like sports and had a more gentle personality, which was completely unacceptable in our Dad's eyes. They clashed quite often while we were growing up, which lead to resentment on both sides. Ralph went across country for university when he was 20, and barely contacted us for the five years he was gone. When he came back for Christmas and a few weeks for summer, he wouldn't tell us anything about how his life was, how his program was going, if he made any new friends, or if he was dating someone. When he finally returned to NE after he got his Bachelor's, he brought his girlfriend, a woman originally from China named "Lisa", with him. Lisa spoke English well, but was very quiet and withdrawn and didn't speak to anyone but Ralph casually. My parents thought she was stuck up, but Rachel gave her space and took time to befriend her. She opened up to us and became a great friend. I was often concerned about how Ralph treated her- he didn't seem abusive to her, but he barely paid her any attention or affection. When I asked Lisa about this, she said that Ralph was just shy and didn't like public displays of affection, but she knew he loved her and treated her well. Just two years after we met her, Ralph proposed to Lisa and they were married. Soon after, she gave birth to their first son, an adorable boy named "Kevin". Two years later they had another son (also adorable) "Keiran". My parents never approved of their relationship, but the birth of their first grandsons seemed to warm their hearts, or at least my mother's.

Soon I got married and started a family of my own, and Rachel got married four years after me. My and Rachel's husbands are also locals, so our parents greatly approved of our relationships. We were worried that they might show this behavior to Lisa, Ralph and their kids, but Mom always shut us down whenever we tried to talk about it. For the most part, Kevin and Keiran seem like happy, healthy, rambunctious little boys. Lisa stopped working after Kevin was born, but she keeps her time busy helping out Mom around the house when she isn't taking care of her own. She and Mom seemed to get along great now, but Dad still was indifferent to her at best. My husband and I live not far from my family home with our three children, "Elliot"[5M], "Kelly"[3.5F], and "Finn"[1M]. Rachel lives a city over from us and is currently pregnant with her first child, a boy.

We were all over at Mom and Dad's place for a NYE celebration. All the kids (except Finn of course) were trying their best to stay up for midnight, but poor Keiran had been struggling with a cough so he and his parents had to go home early. After they left, Dad seemed to get more excited (he was drinking all night), took Elliot and Kelly aside and told them that if they could stay up to midnight, they'd each get a present. He told me he got one for Finn too, a cute little stuffed dinosaur, as well as a similar toy for Rachel's boy. I told him that I'd drop the presents he got for Kevin and Keiran tomorrow, but he said that he "forgot" to get them anything. I thought this was weird but let it slide. Soon after midnight the kids were asleep in the guest room with their new toys, and all the adults were in the living room talking. Dad was well on his way to getting wasted, and Mom seemed a little tipsy too. They seemed to be in a good mood until Rachel brought up a vacation that Lisa and Ralph were planning to go on in the spring, and my Mom exploded. She went on about how Lisa was always so nosey and wouldn't leave her alone in her own home, and made her house stink with all the "weird food" she'd cook. Rachel, our husbands, and I were absolutely shocked by her outburst, when Dad joined in. He called Ralph a loser for having to resort to marrying a foreigner, and that he felt embarrassed to be seen with his "chink grandkids" and was ashamed that they would be the ones to carry on his family name. We were so shocked we didn't know what to say during the tirade. Rachel excused herself a she and her husband headed back home. My husband was getting the kids settled in the car when my Dad took me aside and thanked me for having kids "that actually look like [me]". I left and haven't returned any of their calls since.

I don't know what to do. Should I tell Lisa and Ralph about what my parents said? Should I cut all contact with them, or am I being selfish and denying my kids the opportunity to know their maternal grandparents?

tl;dr: My parents are racist towards my brother's Chinese wife and their biracial grandkids

Pick is literally just saying that advertising works, on a subconscious level, and influences your behavior. That's completely absurd to argue against. Playing CoD doesn't make you go out and shoot people, but it absolutely influences your behavior in the short term to be far more assertive.

I'd take it further and say that in America, our weird puritanical terror at the idea of seeing a breast on TV or whatever has really backfired - there's not a whole lot of genuine, healthy sexual relationships portrayed in the type of media people have access to when they're developing, so they're more likely to either look it up themselves and stumble onto something weird/violent/degrading, or go the opposite route and end up fixated on something normally benign turned bizarre like Sonic inflation reverse-vore.

Yeah. The story mentions her blocking his coworkers after the incident, so this seems likely. I'm guessing the news anchor has no notion of boundaries or doesn't care, and the boyfriend was probably not in a position to tell his boss not to do it.

Searching "prank" on that subreddit is incredibly productive, and enraging

My [19F] friend [20M] thought it was "funny" to tamper with my birth control for a future prank!

quote:

I take birth control for several reasons: protection and to regulate my periods. I'm very strict with taking the pill on time as I set an alarm and have never missed a dosage.
When I was picking up Chinese Take-out for our group, my friend decided to tamper with my birth control. I have them hidden in the bathroom mirror cabinet.
He took a few pills and changed the date sticker thing. Of course I noticed because I'm not an idiot.

When I confronted him, he laughed it off. He said that I "wasn't suppose to find out yet". I don't know what his prank was going to be, but when I asked for my pills back, he couldn't produce them.
My friends, who hadn't left yet, told me I was overreacting and that a few missing pills won't "do much". Am I overreacting?
TL;DR: Friend takes BC pills for future prank. I notice and confront him. Friends think I'm overreacting.

UPDATE 1:
I called him to try and arrange a time to talk about what he did. He wanted to get this talk over and done with so we conversed on the phone.
He explained that the "prank" wasn't for me, but his roommate [21M]. He was going to add birth control to his roommate's protein shake. He thought the BC pills would make his roommate grow boobs or become "emotional". I don't even know.
I told him we HAVE to speak in person and he agreed to tomorrow.

Even if she did originally have it as publicly viewable or w/e it doesn't really matter. There's a big difference between uploading something yourself where you're doing something stupid or embarrassing so people can laugh with you vs someone else doing it so people can laugh at you.

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?

Me [26M] with my wife [24F] 1 year duration, reflexively smacked my wife after boiling water prank. Am I a terrible person?

I was in the shower with my wife. People do a prank in the shower where they turn the water really cold on the person showering.

Today my wife hid against the wall to avoid the water, turned it to all the way boiling lava hot, and pointed it right on me and held it there when I had soap in my face and eyes.I had a hard time escaping because of the soap in the eyes. I rinsed it out with boiling water and my hands, and finally grabbed the shower head and pointed it away from myself.

I was kind of stunned that she would hurt me on purpose and my reflex was to half smack my wife in the face. It was gentle as in, "wake the gently caress up", but she looked at me like she couldn't believe what just happened. I apologized again and again and she isn't mad, but it's awkward.

There is a difference between a cold water prank, and trapping someone in literally boiling water. At the same time you should never hit your wife. I have never hit anyone before man or woman.

It's awkward but I guess we are ok with this. Am I a terrible abusive person or is this just an unfortunate situation?

ok I feel like I've seen this one before too, but still.

This dude definitely just watched Fargo for the first time.

Me [22F] with my boyfriend [23M] of 4 years, he pretend to break in to our house as a prank and I got hurt

I guess I'll just jump right in to the story of what happened yesterday. It was around 4:30 and I was relaxing on the couch watching some Netflix on the TV. It's the type of couch that has a built in recliner on one seat, and I was sitting on that seat and had the recliner out. I work as an educational assistant at a nearby elementary school, so I'm almost always home by around 3:30. My boyfriend, on the other hand, typically comes home around 6. So at 4:30 I definitely wasn't expecting him.

So I'm chilling and watching Netflix when I hear what sounds like a the window in the kitchen being opened. In situations like this I always freeze up, so I just sat there panicking on the inside but too freaked out to even move. I heard what was definitely the sound of movement in the kitchen, followed by the window being shut and then footsteps coming towards me. I was still frozen at that point but also utterly terrified and staring at the doorway from the kitchen to the living room.

The footsteps keep getting closer, and then out of the doorway comes a man dressed in all black, wearing a black mask and holding a rope in his hands. That was enough to make me unfreeze, so I stood up to run away but in my panic I tripped over the recliner and took a pretty bad fall. I'm hyperventilating and scrambling to get back up and run away, and it's then that I hear my boyfriend's voice call out "are you okay?" And I realize that the masked intruder was him. I have never in my life felt so relieved and so angry at the same time.

He was super worried and apologetic and got me to a hospital right away, as I was having pretty severe pain in my foot. It turns out my ankle broke when I fell. My boyfriend is pretty much devastated that this happened. He explained that he knows I love Halloween and am interested in horror movies and true crime and all that stuff, so he thought this would be a silly/scary prank to get me in the Halloween spirit. He did not in anyway forsee it going wrong, and he feels so bad.

My Fitbit usually records over 10,000 steps per shift when I work. I walk a lot throughout the day, so this broken ankle is going to be a huge inconvenience to me. My boyfriend realizes this and has been apologizing like crazy. He even cried when the doctor told us my ankle was broken. He's absolutely torn up over this, and I don't know how to feel. On the one hand I'm furious that he would prank me this way. When I saw him standing in the doorway, I quite literally thought I was about to die. I can't stress enough how absolutely terrified I was. On the other hand, I see how bad he feels and it doesn't seem fair to be mad at him when he's already so upset.

How on earth should I handle this?

tl;dr: My boyfriend dressed in all black with a rope and pretended to break in to our house. I thought I was going to die and broke my ankle trying to run away and now my bf feels really bad and I don't know what to do

My boyfriend is seriously starting to piss me off. He is refusing to go to the doctor. I don't understand what it is with him. His leg is swollen and all types of colors bruise. Literally from his foot, all the way up until his knee. He can't walk on it without it hurting him and he says the pain will go away by itself. He won't let me touch it, and I found out why last night. I lured him in with being all flirty, I felt his leg and he had no idea I did.

Only when he saw my hand on his bruise he knew I was doing it, a full 5 minutes later. It's so swollen he can't feel anything in it. He won't get in the car to go to the bloody doctor. The thing that pissed me off the most is both of his parents are doctors.

My [21F] boyfriend [23 M]'s grandmother was mugged on the street, has her medication stolen, bf goes goes vigilante on the guy's rear end and ends up arrested.

I've heard the events only from my boyfriend. Let's call him John.

My boyfriend's grandmother was minding her own business, taking her afternoon walk when out of nowhere she was assaulted by a young man. The young man pushed her down and hit her, taking her bag of medication (for diabetes, so mostly insulin). An ambulance takes her to be treated for her wounds, and in the meantime she calls her grandson-- by bf-- about the ordeal. John apparently becomes completely furious and starts speeding around the town looking for this thug, and he ends up spotting him because he recognizes the bag in which his grandmother kept all of the medication.

John gets out of the car and basically starts beating the guy until his own knuckles are bloodied. The cops are called, and both John and this guy are arrested and brought in. John speaks to the detectives about what happened, and his grandmother ends up coming and speaking with the police as well, and the medication and the stolen bag was indeed hers. From what John tells me, the guy that injured his grandmother and the one he beat up is a gang member and has been arrested before. John is let out on a $200 bail, and the other guy stays locked away. To complicate matters, this supposed gang member is a minor even if he doesn't look like it. Although, John tells me that whatever detective or cop that interviewed him was pretty understanding of the situation when John was questioned.

I guess it's sort of a happy ending in the fact that the bad guy was caught and all, but at the same time I'm just scared that my boyfriend would take matters into his own hands and not think of his own safety. I mean, with how angry he was, I doubt he was thinking straight. He could have killed the guy. Or even worse, that guy could have had a gun and killed him! Obviously, I'm not one to condone vigilante justice at all, and I'm glad my bf is safe. It's just that knowing he could become so violent and enraged like that is scary. He knows I feel scared of displays of violence like that (I'm a pacifist at heart), but he does NOT know I've been abused/assaulted before. Regardless, he dismisses my fears, so I doubt even telling him of what happened to me because of an ex would change his reaction. My ex also did the whole dismissing-of-fears thing, saying that I had nothing to be scared about and would never hurt me even when he displayed violent behavior.

I'm just not sure what to do, and when I try to explain the situation to a friend beginning with "My boyfriend was arrested after..." , they always say "Dump him" regardless of how I explain the story. I just feel lost, and the worst of it is that my bf doesn't see why I should be scared at all.

Or maybe he's right that I shouldn't be scared at all? I just don't know, reddit. I'm trying to rationalize bf's behavior as either good or bad. On the one hand, it's good that the guy who beat up his grandmother is now behind bars. On the other, that sort of rage is unsettling at least to me, and I'm not into vigilantism. Then again, I don't know how a normal/non pacifist, let alone someone who hasn't been in an abusive relationship, would react in this situation.

tl;dr: Bf's grandmother was mugged, Bf goes apeshit on the attacker, both was arrested, bf was subsequently let go. Doesn't understand why I'm scared of him beating the guy until his knuckles were bloody. Reddit, was what my bf the right/good/moral thing to do? Should I be concerned about that sort of rage? Is it something someone non-abusive might show in this kind of situation? I have no direction.

tl;dr: Don't mess with Bruce Wayne's grandma
