I [26F] hate texting people all day, every day. Is this a requirement in the dating world? The post is innocuous, it's the comments going strong with the subtle creeping horror of serious attachment and abandonment issues (if links are verboten I'll nix it)

Alcoholism is The Worst It's absolutely goddamn incredible to me that so many drugs are illegal but there's a liquor store within 10 miles of just about everybody in America. Maybe that guy was decent once but he is a total slave to the sauce and it'll always come first, no matter how much he deludes himself about what his priorities are. It's not just this guy, either. My dad never got that bad (my mom left him before he could) but there was so many parallels in that story, lol, like getting a DUI between custody hearings during your alcoholism-triggered divorce and repeatedly endangering children while intoxicated. If addiction is in your family, just don't drink.

My [24M] girlfriend [24F] is a strong Donald Trump supporter. I'm a Muslim, and it makes me very uncomfortablequote:So my girlfriend and I have been dating since our freshman year of college. We've been living together since our sophomore year, and I'm planning on proposing soon enough. Trump is soooo good at deals, y'all, just the best at the deals. A real artist of deal making. Absolutely the best.

Honestly, I have the exact opposite problem, I am absolutely loving terrified of little spiders or chitinous large spiders but tarantulas are just cute and appealing to me for some reason.

I'd have a bigger issue with someone being taken so completely by the con artist that is Donald Trump versus just them doing a 'gently caress the Dems' vote or something. Like at least be aware Trump is the molotov cocktail vote ffs how do you actually believe in his non-existent platform? he's gonna build a magic wall and somehow that will eliminate the massive demand the service/agra industries have for cheap labor the art of the deal e: also it's p obvious that the girl is only dating him because he's "dangerous" and a "thrill" and gonna piss off the conservative family quote:She's was in the debate club in high school and college, was very much into campus politics, and has a major in political science, so you could definitely say politics is her passion. how has the education system failed her so much that she buys the Donald hook line and sinker then lmao Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Jan 16, 2017 |

Mirthless posted:...In what loving way? Mirthless, when you tell people their opinions on things will lead their partners to leave them, why would that not be a good thing? I think the whole point of this thread is that when people come across fundamental differences of opinion they should break up for their mutual benefit. Forget the sex tape as the issue, I don't have any sex tapes because I'm hideous, I don't know what your situation is, it doesn't matter. Being dumped or having someone dump you is good and I would be happy my ex had the self-control not to talk to me because I probably don't want to talk to them either!

It's normal to disagree and whatever with your partner; I think the place most issues arise from is when there is a lack of adult communication and one side is just unreasonable (tarantula dude) or unwilling to listen to the other side of things. If my SO came at me screaming about a sex tape they found on my drive, I'm immediately going to dig my heels in and get into defense mode. If they brought it up and we discussed it like adults, I might very well decide 'hey I'd rather my current SO be happy than to keep these old rear end vids/pics.' Partially because I'd want to keep the latter person around more versus the person who comes at me screaming their head off.Pick posted:The best thing about this thread is the arguing. It's interesting. I def like that we can put forth our differing opinions on various things without turning it into a poo poo slinging thread.

Due to a hurricane a friend of mine brought a tarantula that belonged to a someone they pined for on a several hundred mile trip. i can confirm as a non tarantula owner theyre basically fuzzy rocks and to me, at least, the next level up from cat lady in so far as you dont really do anythig with your pet but feed it.

I will never ever understand the "my gf/bf wants me to get rid of my pet" phenomenon, but it seems so common. It's such an obviously lovely thing to do to somebody even if you've got a phobia, feels like they should have split up on this issue pretty early on. I'm glad it's a phenomenon that exists tho b/c it's one of the lovely behaviors that pushed my wife away from her last boyfriend. :3 had a lot of good years with a house full of pets. gently caress people who don't like animals.

If you want something way weirder, the founder of one of the most popular Nazi podcasts was doxxed and it turns out he's married to a Jewish woman who even made appearances on his show. I don't even know how you begin to reconcile that.

Mirthless posted:hahaha what People who are super needy about texts are invariably just really insecure, they try to frame it in different ways to not sound like such a weenie but at the end of the day you could replace mosts of their texts with "hey, do you still like me" and the gist is the same. A good example: quote:I think I responded to you upthread somewhere, but for me, it's basically a thing where--being a normal person--I really like people who like me. Certain things can signal that you really are ambivalent toward me (e.g., never responding when I text you). If there's a totally reasonable reason for that behavior, of course that's good info to have, and will provide an explanation for why there's no response. "If you don't immediately text me back always it must be because you don't like me"
