Who the hell actually likes tribal tattoos besides frat Bros? A sentimental tattoo is a great reason for one instead of another awful tramp stamp or random Chinese characters. Plus his idea sounds awesome.

There is a sentimental tattoo I want to get, and have wanted for a long time... it is a little cheesy. Growing up my Dad and I really bonded over The Lion King. He called me Simba. I still give him Lion King themed cards for his birthday, Father's Day etc. I was born female and transitioned to male, so it had special meaning to me that we had a father/son connection from the start.

I am getting my first tattoo next week and really wanted the tree painting of Simba, with the mane added on to signify my transition. I have wanted it for a long time. But I can tell my wife is REALLY not into it. She would never tell me not to get it, or be obvious about her disapproval, but she likes "manly" tattoos (she loves tribal etc.) and I found a page about talking your husband out of a bad tattoo in our computer's history when I was looking for something else. I'm thinking about a different tattoo that has the same meaning but the idea of not getting that specific design really sucks and is admittedly making me a little miserable.

I [28F] just caught my bf [25M] watching porn. I don't know what to do


It happened last night. I caught up watching a porn video on his computer. I got really angry and started screaming. He tried to act innocent and I wound up slugging him in the eye really hard. He yelped in pain and put his hand over his eye and started running and I pursued him as far as the door screaming things I don't even remember. Now he just texted me saying he's sorry and he wants to talk it out when I'm calmer. I don't know what to do. I don't want to lose the relationship, but this felt like a serious betrayal of trust.

From /r/legaladvice: Me and my 2 dogs just hosed up 2 intruders TX

quote:

Two guys casually walked into my apartment. My battle station is on the same wall as the entry door but about 10 feet back from it. I had my headphones on playing competitive overwatch and i heard my dogs going crazy. They typically bark whenever someone walks near the door but i heard them snarling...so thinking thinking they are fighting each other which rarely they do i abondon my match to break it up. My dogs have the two men pinned against the closed door so i just started to swing. As soon as I did my dogs attacked which i didnt expect since they are labs. The dudes were not talking english but were fighting back. Some how the door got open and me and my dogs and the two intruders were in the hallway. My neighbors called the police. My neighbor who called the police ( i dont even know him) had a pistol and held the two dudes there by gun point until they arrived. Police told me the two intruders had warrants but not much else. I called my friend already who does felony prosecutuing in my country but not sure if i should do anything else from here to protect myself? I am still shaking. Wish my wife was home she probably wont believe this happened.

edit: police told me they had weapons on them.

edit 2: Thank you all for the legal advice. I am thankful I live in the great state of Texas and have no legal repercussions to look forward too. I DO NOT LIVE IN AUSTIN!

edit 3: thank yall for all the jokes and shedding light on the situation. Me, my wife and our two pups are living it up Texas style. Lone star Vodka, brisket, beer ribs, slaw, bakes beans with bacon, bacon, lone star vodka(reapeated for funsies). DOOR IS LOCKED NOW!!!!

edit 4: stop upvoting this boys! I love this sub but the legal part as answered a long time ago. Yes in Texas we can gently caress people up in our home and out of it. Please quit PMing me too I used the hands i was born with to defend my stuff. I had guns but picked my hands. ------ luckily i was a collegiate wrestler and boxer.

edit 5: yall please do not attempt to protect yourself like i did! it was a mistake! I SHOULD HAVE SHOT THEM! DO NOT RELY ON YOUR DOGS FOR PROCTION!!!!!! I AM SERIOUS! IN ALL SITUATIONS DOGS THINK OF YOU AS THE PACK LEADER WHAT MY DOGS DID WAS NOT NORMAL IF I GET ANOTHER PM I MIGHT DELETE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also pray for my big mama dog shes 8 year young and lost a tooth in the fight. My wife and labs are my life Y'all. No more comments needed kindly, yall making me kind of making me emotional lol.

My(28f) controlling parents are destroying my life...



This all started 2 months ago. I (28F)broke up with my ex(23M) and had no choice but to move back in with my parents. I had no job and no source of income, along with bills and a car loan that my ex was taking care of while we were together.

My parents are extremely controlling people both from a third world country. They do not understand entrepreneurship and have zero respect for anyone who doesn't work a traditional 9-5 job.

My parents forced me to file a restraining order against my ex, claiming they were afraid he would come find and harm me because I took the car that we were sharing together (the car and loan are both under my name). Shortly after that they forced me to file ch. 7 bankruptcy because they went back on their promise to help me with my bills and car loan while I searched for a job.

After the worst two months enduring the most depressing holiday and New year feeling trapped and hopeless, I finally got a job offer last week. I start on Monday. My bankruptcy court date is on Wednesday.

Now my parents tell me that they refuse to cosign with me for a lease car (which they also promised they would do upon me moving back into their house).

They lied to me about EVERYTHING and in the process have destroyed what was left of my life... rendering me literally HELPLESS with zero credit and trapped living in their house. I am so angry and depressed.. borderline suicidal thoughts going through my head.

I feel sick, livid and disgusted. I wish I could just DIE. They lied to me about everything, once again controlling my life like they did all throughout my childhood up until I was able to move out for college.

I'm literally devastated. I haven't paid any of my bills in 2 months because of this ridiculous bankruptcy my parents have forced me to file. Thing parents are content watching my credit plummet and knowing that I have zero financial control over my own life.. which gives them full power now that I live under their roof.

I don't want to go to my bankruptcy court date on Wednesday. I don't want to live in this piece of poo poo house where they control my entire life with their lies and third world mentality.

I'm so lost and hopeless. I don't know what to do or who to turn to. I need to get the gently caress out of here!!!!

tldr; Broke-up with my ex and moved back in with my controlling parents. parents went back on their promises, refusing to cosign for a car lease and help me pay my bills while I looked for a new job. They Forced me to file restraining order against My ex and forcing me to file bankruptcy. My life is ruined. Want to die. Don't know what to do.

[29/M] I was dumped for being "too nice" again. Are there girls out there that like nice guys?



Let me start by saying I've never been that great at getting girls. I've only been with 4 throughout my life and I was the one who got dumped in all of them. I'm a good looking guy with a good job. I work in law enforcement which is usually a job women find attractive. The problem is I'm usually pretty shy around girls I don't know so it gets kind of hard for me to talk to them. Anyway out of the 4 girls I've been with only one has ever been a long relationship, almost 4 years. All the rest fizzled out after only a couple of months. All 3 of these short flings ended with the girl telling me I was a great guy but I was just too nice. What can I say, I like to treat girls I'm with well and do nice things for them. I get absolutely no joy out of being a jerk. After the second time I told myself I would start being more of a jerk, but once I started seeing this most recent girl, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. We were getting along great, we hung out all the time, and she kept telling me how much she liked me. What makes even less sense to me was that she said she was coming off of a long abusive relationship. Thought she would appreciate being treated well, but after only a month, I was dumped again and given the same excuse. Are there girls out there that actually like nice guys or am I doomed to be forever single? I just don't think I have it in me to be the bad boy.

Nice guys would be less annoying to women if they stopped asking permission to do every little thing.

That's actually what women are complaining about with nice guys. Constantly asking "Do you mind if I go to the store?" "Can I go out with my friends on Friday or do we have plans?" "Should I have another beer?".

I (28f) have a huge double standard about myself and my boyfriend (28m), need help overcoming it.

quote:

Throwaway because I'm so ashamed and mad at myself for this. I'm on mobile so I can use a throwaway so please forgive weird formatting.

We've been dating for 2 years and 3 days.

I was extremely depressed and had a huge underlying anxiety problem for the past year and a half. It was BAD. My anxiety showed itself in rage, I would become instantly overwhelmed and unable to control myself. I honestly cannot believe my boyfriend stayed with me through that, it was atrocious. It started when I was abroad alone and when I got back I realized how bad it had gotten, and he helped me realize the problem was as big as it was. I went to therapy, and eventually started meds this past fall. Let me tell you, if you're considering anti-depressants, DO IT! They are amazing for me. I finally feel like a real person. I have interests and hobbies and enthusiasm and I'm just way happier than I ever thought I could be.

The problem: bf has SAD and I find myself being a huge rear end in a top hat to him about it. I find myself not believing him, or telling him to get over it. I am shocked when I hear myself say these things. I'm a huge advocate for mental health and destigmatization for others, but when it comes to my own boyfriend I cannot seem to empathize. I am so ashamed and bewildered. I hate it. I have no idea why I think this way.

Has anyone encountered this? How can I change my mindset?

Tldr; I was super depressed while bf supported me, now bf is depressed and I find myself unable to support him.

Top post:

quote:

So you had/have a rage problem allegedly triggered by anxiety, and now that your boyfriend is going through a rough patch with his mental health, you're being mean and abrasive to him about it.

Is it possible that you're just an rear end in a top hat? I'm not asking that lightly. Do you have a history of issues keeping friends or romantic partners? Have people told you that you're mean?

I have no mouth and I must post
Remember that forum where people married to autists talked about their miserable life and breakdowns? Here's the start of chapter 2.

quote:

My [26 F] husband [25M] is unhappy with a promotion I got at our workplace.

Some backstory, my husband and I were both hired at our local hospital around the same time -- he's the manager for our IT department and I work in billing.

The rumor mill from my department head for the last few months is that she (the dept head) was retiring and she was going to promote me to her position. After about 6 months, that finally happened. I got my promotion today and I start the actual job on Monday.

The problem: My husband and I took our break at the same time we do every day, as we have been doing for the last several years. He has Asperger's, so scheduling is important to him. We get to break and I tell him the (to me) good news. I told him the specifics of it, my shift time will be starting at 5 AM rather than 8 AM, our previous shift start times. I also will be changing my breaks, lunches, and my shift end time.

After I told him, he got kind of a blank stare for 30 seconds or so and then relatively calmly said "Well, gently caress it. I'm going home, see you at 5."

When I got home the house reeked of pot, and while I smoke as well, I don't smoke a half ounce in the course of 4 hours (he did).

If he's so unhappy about I wish he'd tell me to just turn down the job, but he doesn't want to do that, as he says that he'd know that not taking the job would make me unhappy.
His whole issue with it is that my entire shift is changing and it can't fit his schedule anymore. His Asperger's is pretty rough -- he manages the IT department but that only works well because he fired the two people under him and takes on all of the work himself. He doesn't work well around other people and considers me to be the only person that he's comfortable with.

I don't want him to be unhappy, but I don't want to turn down this promotion. I just want to reconcile my job and my marriage and don't know how to do that. Can you guys suggest anything?

Tldr: I got a promotion, husband is vehemently against it.

The way I see it, it is like being on a team at work. Your team gets assigned a project. You make a suggestion for the project, and everybody thinks it's a great idea. You feel good. No one else has any ideas, but that's ok, you have another idea, and everybody agrees that it's great! All right, you are on a roll. But, eventually you realize, that no one else is ever suggesting anything. They just do whatever you say. Suddenly, you realize that you're the one who got conned. You've been doing everybody else's job!

You can't really call them on it, because all this time they've been complimenting you on how smart you are. Everything that happened up to that point happened with your consent. But they are not doing you any good, are they?
