I feel like "I need to stay hydrated or my blood pressure will drop so hard I could die" is a pretty drat reasonable reason to keep water around during a wedding  Who's going to notice a water bottle anyway? stick it under a table at the reception or something, he already agreed to go without during the ceremony.

Stuntman posted:looooooool Yeah I misread part of his post that he has a ton of other medical issues that cause problems. Anyway, in the comments, he is going to ask his fiancee if he can wear a camelbak in the wedding to avoid having to use water bottles. I'm sure that'll be less obvious in pictures........

Christ even during the ceremony you can have a water of life bit added so the dude can have a life preservig sip. Plus if shes thia awful about life saving basic treatment for her husband during the ceremony is recommend he break it off before shortly after the ceremony she accidentally forgets to get him enough water and he dies tragically but with his life insurance policy.

Is anyone in the comments telling him that if his fiance freaks out when he asks to have water to prevent passing out and possibly dying, that maybe he should rethink the marriage?

Really shoulda called the bf bob in this one My bf of one year [28M] won't let me [24F] see him shirtless. It's starting to drive me a little crazy. We're coming up on being together for a year. And I've never seen his chest. My boyfriend (Tom) has gynecomastia. This basically means there's fat deposits in his pecs that make them look more like small breasts rather than flat pecs. However, I've never seen them! Tom has obviously been incredibly insecure about them his entire life. He won't remove his shirt during sex, he won't go to the pool or swim and requests that I don't go either, and he wears a kind of under armor compression top every day. To let you guys know how severe his fear Is here are some things that have happened. Forgive the grossness and tmi stuff but one time I was on my back, he was standing, and I was giving him a foot job. I have long legs so I ran my leg up his chest and it went under his shirt instead of on top of it. Went he felt his shirt lifting he gasped and yelled no while pulling away from me. He stopped the sex and he got in bed and went to sleep. This broke my heart. I apologized for my foot slipping because it really wasn't on purpose. I still feel bad about that. Another time, I was in the shower. Tom got into the shower and tried to initiate shower sex. Under the running water. With his shirt on. I was laughing because I couldn't take it seriously. He got upset and got out. He was really upset so I apologized for laughing. When we cuddle my hand can't come up too high. One night I was pretty exhausted and out of it but I cuddling him. I will be honest, my hand was kind of cradling his pec. In my tired mind soft + warm = good. He told me to move my hands then rolled over and wouldn't cuddle me anymore. Now if we cuddle he'll stop me if my hand comes up to high. He's only okay with me touching his belly. At first, him not removing his shirt didn't particularly bother me because I figured once he trusted me enough we'd get to that point. But we're pretty much a year in and nothing has changed. It was my mistake for thinking that time would fix it. In all honesty, it deeply bothers me that this man has looked into every nook and cranny that exists on my body but his is off limits. He's freely comments on and touches my body but I can't do the same to this. And lately I've been equating how much he loves/trusts me with his refusal to remove his shirt. I feel like, well I'm not all that special if he won't take his shirt off for me. Or if he loved me enough he would do it. I don't think that's a fair way to view it but it runs through my head way too often. I'm really tired of it. I'm tired of looking into a graphic t shirt every time we have sex. I'm tired of being the only naked person when we have sex! But I do love him. I don't know what to do. He's not interested in therapy. I don't know what can make this better or if anything can. Tl;dr: bf has a chest condition and refuses to let me see him shirtless. It's starting to matter to me and I don't know what to do.

Like I can see that having that condition would be extremely, extremely embarrassing for most men (regardless of their own feelings and beliefs, I mean society is just gonna constantly poo poo on you if it's noticeable) but dude you're a goddamn adult just go get your tits chopped by a surgeon Interestingly, it's revealed in a later comment that he's afraid of the doctor and hasn't been for any reason since he was 20

Self esteem, buddy  My [M23] SO of 3 months [F24] says she might break up with me after I forgave her for cheating on me So last night my SO confessed she has slept with a man she works with once last week and had been tempted to do it again a few days ago. She felt guilty and owned up to me once she got in from work. She explained she regretted it and told me it was over, and that the guy doesn't work closely with her so she won't have to interact with him at all (he knew she was in a relationship, he was single as far as I know, I don't know him). She says she feels I'm not open enough and she admitted she is frustrated by the fact we haven't had sex yet (I won't go into it but I'm not really ready for sex yet, TBH I'm just procrastinating). I forgave her and she seemed relieved but this morning she told me she doesn't think we're working and implied she'll call off the relationship if things don't improve. I asked what I can do and we agreed I should be better at communication, she didn't really give me anything else I need to improve on but I'm definitely willing to try. We haven't spoken for six hours now and I'm not really sure how our next conversation is going to go. I get the feeling she didn't think I was angry enough that she cheated on me but I dunno? So is this worth keeping or should be end it? Any thoughts? TL;DR – GF slept with another guy once, I forgave her, now she doesn't think we're working out, says we might break

Last one for a bit, but jeez talk about getting dealt a poo poo hand My entire adult life [21 M] has been a poo poo show, and I want to get off this wild ride It all started with my parents divorce at age 18. My mom caught my dad cheating. My mom was and still is a total mess over it. I lost a lot of respect for my father seeing what he did to my mom. Not even a month after the divorce finalized, he got married to the same woman he was cheating on my mom with. It hurt me, but I eventually got used to the fact and moved on. The thing that still hurts me is that my mom still sort of has feelings for my dad.. and she's constantly depressed because of it. My luck with friends is awful. Blaine and I have been playing Starcraft II together online for a year, be coming close friends even brothers. But at the end of that year he told me he had cancer only having a 8 months to live. 7 months later I never received another call from him, I tried calling his number only to get a disconnected line. I think I'm still in denial that he's actually dead. John my real life best friend in high school completely ignored me during our first year in college together for his girlfriend. Whom he dumped after she cheated on him 3 years later. But during their time together I told him multiple times she wasn't good for him and because I did this he stopped talking to me after I dropped out. Ben was the worst offender. We'd been friends for 5 years. I was talking to a girl I liked at the time. And I told him about it, everything I liked/disliked about her. Only for him to use that information to get her to hate me and like him. They started dating after that. And to rub salt on to the wound he found my OKCupid account, using his knowlege of my "dream girl", catfished me into a skype call with him and that girl to laugh at me. "just a prank dude". I was diagnosed with a genetic disorder called kallmanns syndrome. At the time, I didn't think much of it until I started realizing the bad sides of it. My chances of having children is slim to none. I've been rejected by the military, my dream job since the age of 12, because I have no sense of smell. My self confidence went through the floor. And because of my genetic disorder I was a very late bloomer. I started puberty (hormone treatments) at the age of 19, and still haven't finished yet. Because I looked younger than everyone around me I never dated in high school. Never even held a woman's hands let alone kiss one. I don't have the confidence to ask anyone out anymore after failling muliple times after hitting puberty. Recently finding out I'm Bi-sexual, it also sucked. When the Supreme Court ruled gay marriage legal, I joked with my parents if I were gay if they'll accept me. Short answer i got "only because I have to love you" with no sarcasm. Dad stating "it'll be the end of the human race because gays can't reproduce". He was dead serious. I feel so worthless. I'm a college drop out who can't even find a minimum wage job pay his college loans. My mom has been trying to force me to get a nail tech license so I can work for her but the way she wants me to get the license is highly illegal and I could go to prison for it. Because I refused she constantly reminds me of my worthlessness. "No wonder your father abandoned you for someone else's kid". She stated regrets ever carrying me for 9 months only to give birth to someone like me in a fit of rage, never apologize so she meant that. What she said about my dad was right, he told me I'm off his will and won't help me anymore. He's going to "focus [his] efforts on his 14 YO stepson, maybe this one won't turn out like [me]". I want to get away from my family and move somewhere else, but I'm unable to financially and also I'm terrified of living on my own somewhere where don't know anyone... TL;DR a summary of my whole adult life so far at the age of 21, turning 22 in 2 weeks.

If he's that upset about man-tits he needs to get either cosmetic surgery or get the gently caress over it. Those are your two options re: cosmetic issues in life, generally.

Tiny Deer posted:Yeah, for all that the friend zone is mostly just where nice guys imagine they live, there are still people out there who actually string people along. I think (this is me personally) that it's tempting to deny that behavior exists at all just because we fear it might galvanize creeps to think that their stalking is fine, she's totally leading me on by telling me we will never have sex but still tolerating me because she feels bad about it! Yeah, the "friend zone" meme has sort of been used to describe a range of phenomena, some real and some not. The real fallacy is thinking that being a friend prevents you from being considered as a partner. This is not true, and I've never seen it be true. The idea that women will have friends that they don't see as partner material (and vice versa) is completely true and completely justifiable. Obviously, I have friends who are men who I don't think are romantically compatible with me, and they know I am not romantically compatible with them. There are ways that current friends could change that would make them compatible with me, or ways I could change to be compatible with them but that's just a function of how people develop over time. People's standards for friendship are different than their standards for partnership, although I don't think I've ever met someone with a healthy attitude who would only want someone as a partner and would have zero interest in them as a friend. However, knowing that someone is into you and abusing that, by stating you are friends and insinuating you could be more, is completely crappy and yes, it does happen, and I have certainly witnessed it.

The guy who is bitter because he was "friendzoned" because the girl he wanted dated someone else, but he never asked her out or made any kind of move on her at all ever so how was she even supposed to know? 2. The guy who is definitely not even a friend, but who she has to tolerate (usually a coworker or a customer).
