Are Friday the 13th tattoos a thing?

Yeah, a bunch of shops will do $13 tattoos on Friday the 13th. Like, pick something small from the book and we'll scratch it in for $13.

They look like you'd expect a $13 tattoo to look

Boyfriend [25M] got really drunk, rather than talk to me [23F] because he was upset about us opening our relationship.

Some background: my boyfriend and I met through a friend of mine, who was his girlfriend at the time.. she told me they have an open relationship and invited me to be a 3rd partner. She lived about 3 hours from the town boyfriend and I lived in. So when she went home after her vacation, I was given permission to continue to see him without her. Feelings happened, feelings were hurt. They broke up and I stayed with him. We never had an open relationship after that.

I was approached by someone who is interested in me. He is in a open relationship, is married, has children, and due to his job any relations between us need to be kept secret. I have spoken to his wife, everything is good there. There is no possibility of me running off with him nor do I have any desire to do so. I love my boyfriend very much and before this incident, I was 100% sure I wanted to spend my life with him.

I spoke to my boyfriend about opening our relationship, we live together and have for the majority of the 2 years we've been together. We talked about it for a long time, and he said yes! I made arrangements to visit the other guy a few days later, we got drunk, and had excellent sex.

I got home from work at few days later, to find my boyfriend fall over drunk, he gets off work only an hour before me, and he had finished off half a liter of whiskey in that time. He was throwing up, couldn't keep himself in a standing position so he laid on the floor, before he became completely incoherent I managed to figure out that he was upset about me seeing the other man. I had no idea how to handle him as intoxicated as he was, and called my mom to come over and help me. We got him sobered some, and she left.

I got sick that day, and my boyfriend took care of me, he was extra sweet to me the whole time I was sick, and for a while after, I think he felt guilty about how he handled it. We've pretty much gone back to normal now, with the exception of my own sadness at losing the open relationship..

Yesterday, I had a bit of an epiphany.

Some of the things he said to me while he was drunk were pretty hurtful. But that's not really my problem. I'm concerned that this is how he chose to handle this. I can't be with someone who gets poo poo faced drunk rather than talking to me about problems. I don't know what to do. I don't want to leave him, we've invested quite a bit into each other, renting a house and furnishing it. I guess I'm just looking for some outsider perspectives on the situation.

TL;DR My boyfriend and I opened our relationship so I could see another man. Boyfriend ended up changing his mind, but rather than talk about it with me I came home to him fall over drunk and ended up having to take care of him to sober up so we could talk. I'm worried that this is how he's going to handle all future problems, as this is our first true 'fight'

Me [22F] with my roommate [22 M] of 1 year caught going through my personal stuff/room.

This is a very embarrassing/awkward situation but my roommate (we will call Jason) of a year, friend for over 5 years has been going through my room. We have a strict policy of never going in each others room without permission.

I found out a while ago he had been going through my room via my other roommate, so we talked to him about it and then i got a lock installed. I felt much safer because only i could access my room with my key. Well the other day i came home with my friend early while he was home all day, when i got to my room my spare key (that i thought no one knew where it was) was in my door and was opened. We went into my room and my roommate came out quickly and came in then started making conversation with my friend (which he never does) while sitting on the floor next to my bed. We both saw the he was trying to put something under my blankets, and when he left my friend looked and saw it was my vibrator.

I was so horrified and felt so violated. I asked him why he went into my room and how he knew where the spare key was, and he made some excuse of "hearing noises" in my room and thought i was home anyway, then said my other roommate told him where the key was. He quickly left to go to class then textedme about watching out for "noises" in my room.

I confronted my other roommate asking why he would tell him where they key was and he said he honestly had no idea where it was and that Jason was lying. My roommate talked to Jason who went into my room about going into other peoples room but didn't mention the vibrator.

I feel so violated and creeped out, i don know what to do, please help. Should i get the courage to confront him or what? I don't know if im brave enough to mention it.

TL;DR; Roommate has been going through room and been taking my vibrator behind my back and who knows what else, what do?

My ex has a bunch of tattoos I drew on his arms. We did not split up amicably. I hope he got them lasered off or altered or something. He was also one of those people that was always flat broke but still somehow had the money to spend on tattoos or retro gaming garbage.


Burn it, and burn him.

My [26F] boyfriend [30M] of 11 months is telling me I pee too much, need outside perspective

So this is kind of weird, but to give some background, I grew up with a brother who always maintained that my mom and I went to the bathroom too much. He'd always roll his eyes and scoff whenever she and I had to go before a movie and then after it too, every few hours on a road trip, etc. I always figured that since it was my mom and me going, that it was normal and my brother was being an rear end. Or that maybe my mom and I both had small bladders since we're kind of thin women - I'm 5'8" and 130lbs (which is the heaviest I've ever been and for most my life I've been clinically underweight) - and my brother was still being an rear end about it.

But now my boyfriend is telling me the same thing and I don't know how to handle it? Usually it comes up in discussion when we go out to eat, because I normally drink plenty of fluids with my meals and can go through two or three glasses by the time dinner's over - so I usually go to the bathroom right after eating, about an hour after that, and then again an hour after that. I know that's three times, but when we go out I'm drinking a lot of fluid and also eating a lot, so my stomach is kind of pressing on my bladder? I also do my best to keep hydrated on top of that.

My boyfriend keeps bringing it up through. He acts surprised when I say I have to go and gets kind of standoffish about it, especially since when we go out to eat and then try to be intimate afterwards, I have to stop to pee. He's suggested that I not drink so much at dinner, and even given me looks before when I accept refills from the waiter. He's asked me if I have a yeast infection since that's supposed to cause frequent urination. I also mentioned I had a history of diabetes in my family and then he wanted to be sure I don't have that. I know I don't have diabetes or even pre-diabetes (I have another condition that's monitored through blood work every six months) and I'm pretty sure I don't have a yeast infection either. But he keeps bringing it up, sometimes in a way that makes it seem like he's annoyed and sometimes in a way that seems kind but still implies there's something wrong with me. He's brings up stories about people dying from drinking too much water and asks me what I think about them, but never seems satisfied with my answer (that it's sad and wondering how much water they drank). When I go back to visit my family (about a six hour drive) he'll ask me how many times I stopped. Sometimes the answer is three - about every hour, hour and a half, depending on when I left - and then he'll go on a tangent about how that's wasting time and I should've just kept going, etc. I tell him that it's not his business how long it takes me, and that I like to get out and stretch my legs too.

This has been going on since the start of our relationship, but it happened so infrequently that I didn't really pay it much mind. However it really came to a head for me this past weekend when we were driving back from the beach. It was a three hour drive (he was driving in his car) and I had to pee about an hour in. When I told him, he asked, "What would happen if I just kept driving? And didn't stop?" I told him that if that happened, I'd pee in his car. He looked at me and went "Really?" as though he expected me to be joking. I looked at him and said, "Really! I have to pee! I can't hold it two more hours!" And then he found a gas station and we stopped.

I can't help but think about what would've happened if we hadn't stopped though. Like, before he was just kind of questioning, and even the medical stuff could've been him just...being concerned? But this is the first time he's done or said anything that made me worried that he might have prevented me from getting to the bathroom. I'm also feeling really guilty now over the amount that I pee?

So... what's reddit's take I guess? Am I overreacting to the beach incident? Should I just...try to drink less water? I'm going through an average of about 64oz or water or lemonade a day (I have a hydration tracker app). Is there something I can do to get him off my back or at least understand that I genuinely do have to pee? Since both my boyfriend and my brother have brought this up, does that make them both assholes or is something wrong with me?

Tl;Dr I am well hydrated. Boyfriend thinks I pee too much and keep bringing it up.

I'm officially down on open relationships. I have to believe that the ones that are "good" or whatever are in the extreme minority. It's just bad news.

Yeah I think open relationships can work but I think most people are either too selfish or too insecure, and from most of the stories we see, it's usually the former

"Opening up the relationship" is the millennial version of having a kid to save a marriage and while it's a lot less destructive than what the baby boomers did it's still hilariously awful

For some reason some people just fixate on the pettiest poo poo about their partners. If they're smart, they find a reason not to be a total rear end in a top hat about it and the relationship flourishes. Or they remain short-sighted and spiteful and keep on whining and aggravating over it until the relationship ends opens.

The OP mentions that she's not diabetic or pre-diabetic (because she's monitored regularly for another condition), so nah, the boyfriend's just a jerk.

Lately I've (24/F) been feeling like my boyfriend (27/M) is getting too comfortable, and then something gross happened and I don't know how to feel.

Hi Reddit, I'm using a throwaway because my boyfriend knows my account.

Anyway, so I have been with my boyfriend for almost two years. He's a super sweet guy and is generally a very good partner. However, I have a giant concern and I don't know if this is normal: he's getting too comfortable.

Yes, being comfortable is great. You should be able to be yourself. But his level of comfort-ability is beginning to make me resent him, but I'm not sure if I'm just being stubborn or this is a legitimate reason to break up.

Here's a list of the things that have gotten worse that really bother me (and what I've done to try to help): he's gaining alot of weight. When we first started dating, he was fit and sexy, but now I'm just not attracted to him anymore. This is going to sound so inconsiderate, but our sex life has suffered for it. It seems more like a chore because the spark just isn't there. He's put on at least 50 pounds, does not take care of himself (eats junkfood all day and does not care what he puts in his mouth), and makes zero effort to live somewhat of a healthy lifestyle.

I have encouraged him to join my gym so we could go together (he always says he'll join next week but never does), and I even taught him some healthy, easy recipes so he can make nutritious meals when I'm not around. I'm VERY into health/fitness, so it's really difficult to be around someone who just does not care about their appearance or health. In addition to his weight, he doesn't care about his physical appearance either. We used to always get dressed up and go out (even if it was just a chill bar, we would at least put on jeans). Now, all he wants to do it wear stained tank tops and basketball shorts. He doesn't care about what he wears and doesn't try to impress me.

When we started dating, he was very ambitious and had a lot of dreams. But about a year into it, he stopped applying for jobs or looking for ways to advance. He is perfectly fine "coasting" in his current teaching job (I make more money than him, I work in engineering). He just expects that we will get married and he won't need to apply himself to other careers or himself really. I tried to help by applying for better jobs FOR him, but he never cared. I even wrote his resume and cover letter for everything, but he was just really "eh."

He's become so lazy, just so willing to do the bare minimum. I'm convinced it's because of me, because he finally found someone to "settle down" with and feels like he no longer needs to try.

These are two really big things, but there are a million other examples that kind of fall into these umbrellas. But something today happened that I just cant look past, and it's really really bothering me.

We went to the beach today, and we had a great time. We have been fighting lately because he's been acting so childish (literally pouting when he doesn't get his way, making excuses to justify behavior, not being accountable) but today was great. Until the ride home. While we were at the beach, he told me he needed to use the restroom. But I realized that he never went. When we got into the car, he told me he needed to go #2 really bad, but decided to drive home anyway. Our drive is like an hour long, and we even stopped at a rest stop and he still didn't go to the bathroom. Finally, when we were like 10 minutes away from my apartment, I notice he starts acting really weird. He was sitting weird in the driver's seat. He says, "can I change my pants at your place?" It took me a millisecond to realize what happened - he poo poo himself. LITERALLY poo poo his pants.

The thing that baffled me the most, is that he DID NOT CARE. He was not embarrassed. He didn't care the entire car instantly smelled like poop, making me gag. He didn't care his pants and car seat was completely covered in poo poo. It wasn't an accident, he didn't suddenly have a bad food reaction and lose it. After I composed myself, asked him why the gently caress he just poo poo his pants, he said "I had to go, didn't think it was that big of a deal." WHAT?!?! While some people might be "ok" with this, I just can't.

I really loving hate that my relationship is so comfortable that my boyfriend can poo poo his pants willingly while driving me home, knowing his house is 5 minutes from mine. I'm sorry, I'm just uncomfortable with it, and I'm grossed out. I don't want to see it, and I think my resentment has been building up this whole time and this just blew me over the edge.

I don't know what to do, and I don't know if I am being unreasonable. Do people often become so comfortable that it's too uncomfortable for the other person? Is it worth breaking up? I don't know if I can continue like this, and whenever I try to talk about my feelings, he pouts and shuts down... doesn't want to hear it.

tl;dr: My boyfriend of 2 years has gotten more childish, fat, and gross. So much to the point that I can't handle it, am I being unreasonable?

I (22M) accidentally pooped while having sex with my gf (21F, 1 year) and now she's kind of weirded out by me.

So my girlfriend and I work together at a midsized company, but in completely different departments. We go to the bathroom to have sex sometimes (on an unoccupied floor, no troubles). We've done it about 30 times.

This last time (earlier today), I was sitting on the toilet and she was riding me. We were getting pretty into it. Meanwhile, I've been having a rumbly tummy all day. Once we were really going at it something happened and I just exploded out of my rear end. It went directly into the toilet so I thought no big deal. Obviously it was weird and probably gross to her but it couldn't have possibly happened in a better spot. I wiped up and we were done. She didn't want to continue having sex and that's okay by me lol I just pooped while inside of her.

Anyways its about 3 hours later now and she is texting me that she is just 'processing' what happened and that it's okay but she doesn't want to talk until after work. She says it's fine but she just needs the day off from texting me.

Is our relationship going to be okay? I'm getting a bit nervous. Prior to this we have been very good together. People have often made comments that our 'honeymoon' phase has lasted far too long. We're very good together.

tl;dr: Pooped while in my gf
