I don't believe 'black out drunk' is real in that way. I mean look I fully believe you can't remember poo poo the next day because you were just so wasted (although tbh, even then... gently caress you rear end in a top hat you remember that!) but uh idc how drunk I am it's not gonna change my core personality to the point that now I'm trying to rape my friends.

People use that as a way to excuse so much lovely behavior and it is really irritating to me.

I wouldnt be surprised that she didnt stack the tupperware and just dumped it in the cupboard or something. If tupperware is what i think it is, plastic containers that fit into each other? Because i cant see any other way on how to do that wrong.

They fit into each other except everyone ends up having 6 different brands and 12 different sizes so they actually don't fit into each other at all so the best thing you can do it with it is just leave it in a pile on the floor of your pantry where it'll get cat hair in it but you can just rinse it out before you use it.

What the gently caress is she talking about? You spray the poo poo on and then wait 2 minutes and knock it down. Or you don't. It takes 3 minutes but she spent a long weekend on it? What's the second way? Putting a flat layer on and then sculpting it like pottery? Putting it on one dot at a time with a brush?

Her husbands a pile of poo poo but I suspect she's no prize pig either (I don't drive?).

Aaaand of course this story happened in Tampa Bay.

My old neighbors were a huge, trashy family that included a 3-4 year old kid and an unleashed Pit bull regularly running around on their unfenced front lawn, unsupervised. They regularly had shady people come over and sold...something... out of the trunk of an SUV. By sheer luck the Pit seemed to have a good temperament, and even though it ran onto our lawn a few times it always came when its owner called and never displayed any protective or aggressive behavior, but holy poo poo I was waiting for that family to end up as a tragic news story.

Recently they packed up a U-Haul and left their hovel in a huge rush, probably forcibly evicted lol.

Bad pitbull owners make me really sad because behavioral issues always stem from how their lovely owners treat them and not the innocent, adorable dogs. I'm glad your old neighbors had an unaggressive dog, but that's still a terrible story. I have the cutest pitbull and she would never hurt a fly. Well, maybe she would cuddle with the fly.

Maybe you won't get drunk enough to try to rape your friend but I wonder if you can get drunk enough that you forget it's your friend. That is absolutely not an attempt to defend the guy because he's scum. I was just thinking about whether you can get drunk enough to genuinely forget that you're in bed with your friend and not your S/O.

There are a hundred other adorable breeds of dog, that when poorly trained, don't kill people. There is no reason for them to continue to exist. Make it illegal to breed them, but legal to own, and slowly phase them out. So you can go rescue them to your hearts content, but eliminate the breed over time.

Yes, let's not rehash dumb and bad pitbull tangents. Sorry for bothering.

My girlfriend (19F) has been posting nudes on Twitter without my knowledge and I (23M) don't know how to feel.

quote:

My girlfriend is an excellent artist. She started a Twitter back in September to share her art, which was something that I fully supported. From what she had shown me and what little I had seen, she shared other peoples' art (mostly lewd stuff) and cosplays. Not really my bag, I don't do Twitter, lewd anime girls, or cosplay, so I wasn't exactly keeping up with it on the daily.

Today she was bragging to me about how she almost has a thousand followers so out of curiosity I started searching for her artist name until I found her account. Therein amongst the anime and cosplayers I found regular posts going back about 3 months where she would post pictures of herself both in her underwear and nude- pictures I thought she was only sending to me, as well as pictures that I had never seen before myself. She would take polls of her followers asking what underwear they would want to see next. She even recently posted pictures of herself in lingerie I bought her myself, which I haven't even seen on her yet due to my work schedule.

She never told me about this, and while I never asked and it's not like it wasn't out there for me to find myself, I still feel betrayed that she wouldn't be open with me about this. I kind of feel like she went out of her way to NOT tell me about it. Also, oddly enough, I feel jealous. I feel like I am having to compete with strangers on the internet sexually, and all they have to do it hit "Like" to make her feel good but when I tell her I think she's beautiful and sexy she scoffs at me. It sounds really stupid when I type it out and read it back, but that's a bit of what's in my head, I guess.

We've been together for about 8 months now. I do love her, and feel confident that she loves me, and our sex life is loving, fulfilling (for me at least, I guess I can't speak for her anymore), and respectful. We don't live together yet but fully plan to once my job levels out, so I currently only get to see her on my weekends, usually 3 days a week. I will not see her for a few more days. I have always thought of myself as sex positive and do not want to police her body or choices. That being said there is something about this that makes me very uncomfortable and I can't pin it down exactly. Is there anyone here who has had a similar experience or can lend an outlook to help me sort my head out and figure out how I feel about it, as well as how to approach her about it? Because right now everything I think of to say sounds really controlling or dickish or else doesn't actually reflect how I feel.

TL;DR girlfriend has been posting many nudes on twitter, never told me, feeling all sorts of ways, don't want to be an rear end in a top hat or a wimp, please help

Pitbull derail is bad but I will say that my cousin came home to a blood bath when her very sweet, trained, and well taken care of pitbull decided to murder her other dogs. She was one of those Pit lovers that constantly posted "It's the owner...not the breed" pictures and statuses on Facebook.

While he is extremely lucky that everyone else involved in this story didn't call the cops or beat the poo poo out of his sorry rear end, yeah, his own girlfriend not caring is pretty much expected and nothing extraordinary, sadly. People who date abusers and rapists tend to have similar depressingly horrid opinions on sexual assault. Why else do you think she's fine with dating him?

[ . . . ]

And he’s not always wrong. I grew up in a home where cleaning was… pretty infrequent. And while I was expected to do my chores, keep my room nominally tidy, and help clean when we had company, I never got shown the right way to do things, so I just guessed.

[ . . . ]

On top of that, I have ADHD. I know it’s not an excuse (Matt tells me that, when he’s not telling me that I’m lying about it), but it does affect things.

[ . . . ]

instead of his usual getting frustrated that I’m not doing anything currently needed and then getting over it

[ . . . ]

I pointed out that he hasn’t bought more texture yet. None of it mattered. I was lazy, I was useless, I was worthless. I was too f-ing stupid to know that the method I tried first was never going to work. I was too f-ing dumb to take everything out of the room before sanding. I was so f-ing stupid for thinking that a good dunking in water will clean the dust off things. I should never claim that I want a partner because I’m not even close to being one. I don’t deserve emotional support or to be treated nicely because I’m a useless f-ing b.


I have ADHD, and came from a family that found cleaning optional. My wife was borderline OCD about keeping the house clean. That was a painful mountain to climb, and it took literally years of work to fully partner together in a way we were both happy with.

It can be hard for a partner to discern a symptom from a personality trait. It's a disorder that, when moderate/severe and under-treated, literally sets you up to look like the least considerate, laziest and most aloof person in the world. Try to discuss it with them and you risk sounding like you're arguing why it's OK that you're lazy or that your partner has to do even more just to get you engaged each time with shared chores.

I hope she is either in therapy or headed back to it, 'cause it's sorta easy to clone that relationship experience over and over otherwise.

Blacking out from drinking is a weird experience. I've never experienced it from alcohol alone, but when I was prescribed Ambien for sleep problems several years ago, hoo boy.

Never did anything unusual, it's just a strange feeling to just completely blank on what you did before going to sleep. I was playing Oblivion at the time, and a few times in the evening when I started up the game I wouldn't remember how my character got to where he was, where I got the equipment he was wearing, or when I completed the quests in my log. It was like finding evidence of my brain being on auto-pilot. Obviously I still had the presence of mind to play the game and complete objectives, but I just had no recollection of doing it.

Grandad's cool art causing trouble

quote:

My grandad [82] has an extremely ofensive decorative piece of my fiance's [28m] religion hanging on the wall. Help me not blowing this up [25f]
u/sfd-throwaway5h
2 year relationship.

My boyfriend and I come from different countries, culture, religion... you name it. He is from Pakistan, I am from Spain. We have been fighting for two years with our own families to come to terms to it. It is tiring and frustrating, but we are very patient and we both understand they need time, and it may never be possible to make everyone happy. We are each others rock and we have very strong trust in each other.

So, we are constantly walking on eggshells with each others families because we want to make good impression. He is meeting my granparents next month, and this is huge deal for us because they are very important to me.

The thing is, my grand father was gifted few years back with a wooden replica of the coat of arms of our surname. It features very prominently a severed, bloody head of a member of my fiance's religion. He appreciates it because it was handmade from his friend. Also because he is an old man who even if he is very sweet he has a different worldview than me.

I haven't told my fiance. I know he won't make a scene if he sees it, but it will make him very insecure at the very least. My mother is in favor of leaving it in the wall because grandad is hardcore christian and maybe if we take it down he will start giving more significance than it has (like we are bending for my fiance's religion) and it will make situation worse. Of course my fiance is already on focus because of his religion and I dont want to put more pressure on him.

How to deal with this with the less drama possible, reddit? I am all ears.

Tldr: my grandfather has a decorative piece that is very offensive to fiance's religion. He is visiting in one month. My mother is opposed to take it down. I don't know how to deal with this without blowing it up.

Edit #1: History behind the coat of arms: It is a remembrance of the succesful battle during Spain's Reconquista against a khalifa, after which he was beheaded. Think about 800 years ago.

Btw, if I had one euro for every "Seven centuries of Reconquista and you to do this!!!"...

Edit #2: We live abroad. Each others families gives us poo poo about our religion. It was very ugly, now it is better but still very tense. We think it is still worth it.

Edit #3: Grandad's house is family house. We both place a lot of value in family. We have talked about it and despite the tension he wants to stay at home during the days of the visit and expend the maximum amount of time getting to know everybody.
I already checked she didn't post the coat of arms

Yup, as long as there isn't emotional cheating involved like flirting or sending pictures to other people, then I think it's fine and even healthy for his girlfriend's body image and sexuality, but dude definitely needs to have a talk with her about their shared expectations. It's just really dang weird that she didn't tell her boyfriend about it at any point, assuming she isn't cheating on him or otherwise checked out of the relationship.

I stopped taking ambien when I suddenly snapped into consciousness in my car in a CVS parking lot. The last conscious thought I had was in while I was in bed several hours earlier. I didn't even wake up. It was like my eyes were already open but my brain suddenly started back up.

I guess but tbh I'd still think it was some bullshit and they were just too drunk and couldn't make it to the actual bathroom.

I mean okay if he thought it was HIS gf like was suggested that's a LITTLE better I guess but even so she clearly said 'stop' a few times and then finally woke up to him fingering her and fumbling at her bra. That's not confusion or a misunderstanding really, that's just "I don't care I wanna get my nut off" on his part.
