My [24 M] girlfriend of four years [26 F] wants to be a professional magician -- but she's godawful. How do I tell her to quit on her dream?


All I'm asking is for help, Reddit. I fear if I don't fix this soon, Emma will actually succeed in the first magic trick of her life: Making me disappear.

People suck at everything they just start at. This guy is basically wheeling her around from station to station and then despairing when she doesn't exhibit the ability of someone performing that work for a decade. Not that it matters because he's just gonna tell her she rules anyway.

Over the past 2 months I have become close with a girl from class. It started with meeting up to study or have lunch. Then we started having dinner/drinks together and hanging out at night. Most of what we do now would be considered dating by most people. However, she is currently in a long-term relationship and lives with her partner, and I knew this from very early on because she told me. I really like this girl, and she likes me too.
Last night, she discussed leaving her partner so she could be with me. As she lives with her partner, this would involve her moving back in with her mother (she is a student and he supports her). I really want this, but I am freaking out about a few things:
Firstly, my relationship history is basically non-existent. I last had a girlfriend when I was about 14 years old. While she has talked extensively about her relationship history, I have not talked about mine because I do not really have one. I am embarrassed about this. And she has asked me. To date, I have mostly evaded the question, much to her frustration. Last night, I did, however, tell her it had been "years" since I was in a relationship. She just seemed surprised about this--I don't believe the reaction was negative though.
Secondly, I have not been physically intimate with a girl since high school. I have never had PIV sex, and the last time I kissed a girl I was probably drunk and about 15 years old. Nobody knows this about me, even my friends, and I want to keep it that way. I do not want to get into the details of why this may be. I struggled after high school, but I am in a better position now and I want to get on with things.

My questions is, how much information should I divulge about my background? She is ready to commit to a relationship with me already, but I feel bad that she doesn't know "the whole story", especially my (lack of) sexual history. Would it be a bad move if I choose to keep this to myself? I was hoping to not go into details with anybody about this ever.
TL;DR; : Basically a relationship virgin, haven't had PIV sex, and I'm forming a relationship with an experienced woman. She is leaving her long-term partner for me. How much information should I divulge about my background?

I have posted here regarding this girl before. It was a few months ago now.
We met about 6-7 months ago in class—she was in a relationship at the time
She broke it off with him about 3 months ago
She was with him for 4 years and lived with him for that duration
She says she likes me but doesn't want to jump straight into another relationship because in her experience it does not go well
We started having sex about 2 months ago, maybe once a week but there was a gap when she went on holiday
We see each other 2-3 times a week and spend most of that time 1-on-1, mostly on campus, and have done so for maybe over 4 months
Sometimes we go out for dinner and drinks, and have done similar activities that people usually do when they date
By the sounds of it, she has very high expectations for a relationship and “can't devote the mental energy to it right now”
She says she isn't sleeping with anybody else, isn't interested in doing this or dating anybody else, and would tell me if she wanted to start doing this
I have told her that I’m not interested in dating or having sex with anybody else at the moment either
We text nearly nearly every day
She says she likes me
She says she thinks about me everyday
I like her so drat much and have no idea what to do. My main problem is that since sleeping with her (she is the first girl I have slept with) I have wanted more from her. More relationship style stuff, like staying over my place, hanging out on weekends, hanging out with my friends and her friends, being "official" and not feeling like we are hiding it. I would like to try that, but she was clear that she considers herself “single” (despite us doing things that people generally do when they are “dating” or are “exclusive”).
I think her jumping straight into a relationship, like people in my previous post suggested, could of been a bad thing. She says she needs to rebuild herself or something along those lines after being invested in her previous relationship, even though she ended it. The thing is, we still hang out a lot and are emotionally and physically involved, and it isn't just me initiating it.
Is it wise to stick around? Either way, I couldn't imagine NOT having her in my life, even as a friend. I could not cut contact from her. Do I stop sleeping with her? The thing is, she has feelings for me too which makes it difficult. We cuddle and kiss most times we see each other now, just not really in front of other people.
tl;dr: She likes me but does not want a relationship at the moment because she cannot devote the “mental energy to it” after breaking up with her LTBF. We still hang out regularly 1-on-1 and have sex. She does not want to see or sleep with anybody else at the moment, and would be hurt if I did too, but that I should do what I need/want to do. She says she says likes me but it is a timing thing.

Not to mention that the OP said that the person was in a gang, I'd say that's actually make the situation even worse because now you have a gang with an axe to grind for the boyfriend

Guys and gals, if you are going to gently caress someone in a relationship, please don't think they wouldn't do the same to you if you end up dating them. You aren't special, you aren't different.

So I've been in a relationship with man for a little over a year now. He is an amazing guy, he has a good career, he treats me amazingly, he's very sweet, etc. and overall he's a great man. I love him, and he is the best boyfriend I've ever had but there's a problem. I'm thinking of breaking it off because his penis isn't big enough for me. He isn't small by any means we've measured it and he's slightly above 6 but I don't feel like it's enough. I like to feel "full" and he doesn't give me that feeling like previous partners/FWB's have.
He is great in bed too, he always gets me off with oral, he is not bad at PIV it's just his size and he's very kinky/open to sex which is great. No problems there, just his penis. My dilemma is that I don't want to lose this great guy over his penis size, but at the same time I'd like to have sex with a big penis again. Am I wrong for even thinking this? Am I being stupid? I'm not sure but any help/advice is appreciated.
TL:DR Great boyfriend, not big enough penis. Want a big penis. Problem.

Go get yourself a big dick and let this guy go and get a decent woman.

Well if you had the choice of a 6 inch penis and a 8 inch penis let's be real what would you choose. And I really do love him for who he is, how he holds himself, everything that isn't shallow. But I can't seem to get past penis size. It's just one of those things I don't know why. But it's popular opinion here that I should let him find someone who wants all of him and I think they are right.

I am not even against pornography per se (that would be as stupid as being "against movies") but the normalization of violence and degrading content should be addressed. And it is genuinely weird that so many people cannot stop watching pornography, even when they try, especially when they are still using it on a daily or multi weekly basis despite their own wishes.

I've been with my girlfriend for 20 months and I learned after 3 months of prying that she wanted to wait for marriage for sex and it's not a religious thing, just something she always wanted. I was ok with it but it's very frustrating because I have an extremely high sex drive. Sometimes she lets me finger her through her PJs but that's as far as we go. If I bring it up, she tells me she will break up over it. Is there any chance of convincing her?

tl;dr: How do I convince girlfriend to have sex with me?

Me and my partner have been together for about 3/4 months now, it's a short time but I believe that he is the one, I love him a lot and we have a lot in common, I really don't want to lose him.

I have been in care for 8 years and this is my first year free. My mother was a heroin addict, and now she's a lazy alcoholic that abuses prescribed medicine, she's always been toxic to me and my siblings. Social work have investigated my mother and don't think there's anything to worry about even though my brother is going through some heavy neglect right now. I decided I wanted it to end and told my mum that I want him to live with me starting this summer. Of course I have to fill out documents and pass disclosures first, but I believe I can be a much better carer to him than my mother ever was.

I discussed this with my boyfriend and he says he feels too weird with a kid living with me and he thinks our relationship won't work if I do this.

I'm so stuck, I want to give my brother the childhood he deserves but I don't want to lose the one person who makes me happy.

Help me

*TL/DR: Boyfriend says relationship won't work if I choose to be a carer for my brother who's in need. I don't want to lose him

Do you really want to be with someone who would rather your brother go through the same or worse childhood that you had?

He supports me taking him, he just doesn't want to be a part of it and idk how to cope with it.
