Reminds me of that verified AMA a guy did about how his mom jerked him off when he broke his arms and it developed into a sexual relationship. Some psychiatrist did a full study on the family to prove his theory about positive incestuous relationships or something.

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.

Eh I mean in your case you're not looking for a long term romantic partner at all, yeah? Keeping sex out of friendships when you don't want them to become relationships is a good idea 99.99% of the time.

[b]My [21F] boyfriend [22] blocked me after I made an inconsiderate mistake[b]

My boyfriend and I were having a serious talk regarding an issue in our past that hurt him deeply. We were talking through Facebook chat. He decided to go to work late so that we can continue talking. I thought the conversation was about to wrap up and I also didn't want him to be even later for work. He got really upset when I told him the reason (going into a game of League of Legends) for not responding to him right away.

I've thoughtlessly made this mistake a few times before, and he has expressed how much it angers/hurts him when I do something else during a serious discussion. He said that was the last straw and that he and I are done. Granted, he says that he's done or we're done a lot of the times when we fight out of anger. He blocked me off of Facebook (he's done it before), and now I can't contact him since he doesn't have a phone. I messaged him from a different Facebook account of mine, but he didn't respond.

Oddly enough, we don't fight when we're in person. We only have hiccups when we're away from each other (the internet). He does these stunts like blocking and ignoring me, but in person we don't have any problems at all. I find it extremely difficult to resolve our fights when he does things like this. I am no angel by the way, I also pull these moves as well. So what can I do to resolve this issue? Should I keep trying to talk to him or let him cool down and give him space to come to me?

TL;DR: boyfriend blocked me after I played a game in the middle of a serious talk. How do I go about this situation? What do I do to fix my mistake?

Kind of disappointed they didn't. At least it's good to know my family still isn't bottom of the barrel, no one I know has left a baby in walmart yet.

Dating within your friend circles is asking for trouble when poo poo goes awry. Especially if it's ever the kind of argument that gets people picking sides and then a break up costs you like half your friends even if it's not an especially bad break up.

Anyway, actual content;
This one doesn't need the meat of the post, just this.

I [34M] just got a call from the police. My gf [33F] was lying drunk in the middle of the street

tl;dr: My GF was brought to my house by the police because she was drunk and lying in the street. She just pissed on my floor and is denying she's drunk.

So lets try again:

quote:

My[14M] mom[38F] won't let me or my sisters[8&10] go to the renaissance fair because someone she used to know works there. How can I convince her it's safe?
I've always loved anything medieval or high fantasy. There's a ren fair coming to town in few weeks and I really want to go, so do my sisters.

Growing up my mom did sword fighting. She found out that one of the guys that was in her class is a pedophile. She said she found out when her class was around 17-18. He had already started to abuse his younger sisters friend. Nothing was ever proven in court but everyone knew he did it.

Apparently he learned leatherworking and now travels with a ren fair. That's the same ren fair that's coming here. My mom forbids us from going and my dad just goes along with whatever she says.

I think she's being ridiculous. There's going to be hundreds of people there! He's not going to jump out from the bushes and get us.

How can I convince her to let us go? She's being really overprotective right?

tl;dr: One of my moms dueling partners grew up to be a pedo. She thinks we're in danger from being in the same general area..
Don't go to the pedofair.

My [32M] wife [28F] saw my father spanking our son [4} and flipped out..

u/FamilyInShambles5h

We have been together for 7 years and our relationship is pretty stable except when it comes to my parents. My wife and parents do not get along, they disagree on a lot of things especially parenting. They think she is too gentle and doesn't establish strict enough boundaries while she thinks their parenting choices are too controlling and borderline abusive.

I was belted ..even I got into trouble but I learned how take it and get it over with, otherwise growing up was pretty good. My wife was raised the opposite way, her parents were all about talking and learning through mistakes, she was never belted, grounded or yelled at like I was.

Our parenting style is similar but I have found it hard to be as calm as she and I have lost it a few times but Ive never spanked our son.

My parents were looking after our son and he is very high energy and is going through a phase where he likes to hid things on people and this can be VERY frusrating. He apparently hid my fathers car keys causing my dad to be late for work so my dad belted my son.

When my wife and I came in my son was standing crying saying his bum and back hurt because my dad had spanked him. My wife and him got into an argument, apparently he hit him with his belt on his bare bottom and it was now so red and sore he couldn't sit down. She lost her poo poo yelling he didn't have the right to spank him and picked up the belt and hit my dad with it (my son was not in the room at this point) and said "how does it feel bastard" and stormed out

We drove home in silence with my wife holding our son because he couldn't sit down on the seat. Once my son was taken care of my wife and I got into another argrument about the spanking, I told her that I didn't agree with him hitting him but she was wrong to do that to my father and I tried to get her to apologize and told her that maybe a spanking will teach him something, I don't agree with how extreme my father did it but a tap might not hurt IMO. She wouldn't even hear it, screaming we are the parents and they should respect our choice and what a bastard my father was, he was never to see my son again etc

She ended up leaving the house with our son and won't respond to any of my calls or texts... she sent me one text about how my son also had red marks on his back meaning that he was belted all over his back and not just his bum, it wasn't a simple spank and that just solidifises her decision on them never seeing my son again.

This puts me in a really hard place, my parents aren't welcome (according to my wife) but I don't think that is fair, they are my parents I can't just cut them out like this, they punished my son how they thought was best.

Im sorry this is all jumbled and probably not making much sense but Im at a lost of what to do, how to handle this situation. Its my wife versus my own parents. My parents are my parents, I owe them so much and can't bare the thought of never seeing them again. I just wish my wife would come home so we can discuss this..

tl;dr: My dad spanked my son and my wife lost her poo poo and hit him with the belt so he'd feel what my son felt. Everyone is fighting now and she won't apologize for hitting my dad and says my parents aren't seeing my son ever again.

Im with the wife on this one. If the guy has the self control to not hit his son then he should stand up to his father about this. Condoning physical abuse by a relative is about as bad as committing the abuse itself.

The guy probably got beat like that regularly as a child, so it is understandable that he wants to rationalise this and downplay his father being an abusive piece of poo poo as an initial reaction. He was abused, so he can't see it for what it is, maybe? He is getting a pretty big reality check in the comments, though, which will hopefully get him to see it for what it was and stand up to his father about it.

Hahahhah loving good for her for belting the grandpa, not such a great means of punishment now, is it? And really, where's the flaw there? It's okay for an adult to belt a child but not an adult to do it to another adult (and I don't mean in the fun way)?

I'm totally a no hands on punishment type, totally with the wife on this one. And under no circumstance should any person be spanking/physically punishing a child that isn't their own. I don't think it should be done at all, but especially not kids that aren't yours.

I love his logic about "I turned out fine!" -blows up on his four year old-. Kid is not going through a phase, the kid is four.
