Hello reddit,

Let me start from the beginning, around 2-3 weeks ago over the Christmas holidays my girlfriend and I were looking after my brother's apartment and his cat. My brother knew that I would be bringing my girlfriend with me and that we would be staying over some nights. Unfortunately, my girlfriend and I got extremely broke while we were looking after his place and she (without my knowlegde) went through my brother's and his girlfriends things and stole valuable jewelery which she then took to a pawn shop to sell.

When my brother and his girlfriend returned home they noticed right away that their belongings have been ruffled through and jewelery was missing. Thats when they called me and I found out my GF sold it at the pawn shop.
Long story short, my girlfriend and I felt terriable and called the pawn shop to put a hold on all the items so that we can return them, and the pawn shop was able to do so. She also returned everything else she couldn't sell at the pawn shop that we still had. In the end we returned everything to them accept one $600.00 ring.

They ended up calling the cops on her anyways (because we couldn't get $600.00 to pay them back right away) and charging her with theft under $5000.00.

Does anyone have any legal advice for us? At the moment we are completely lost on what to do, and I just don't want her to have a criminal record. She has never done anything like this in the past.

quote:

And I just rememberd that she wants to go to college for looking after elderly folks, so to be able to do that she cannot have a criminal record, that's why she is freaking out so much so I do believe she hasn't done anything like this in the past.

quote:

I see where you are coming from and I understand your concern, I guess I just have faith in people, especially those I love, to better themselves. Besides, I think this whole situation has scared the poo poo out of her considering she may have to change her career plans and possibly having a criminal record.

quote:

I agree with you that stealing from family is really wrong, however I didn't really tell the whole story, nonetheless what she did was wrong and she is completely aware of it.
Yes I was named, and I was at the pawn shop when the items were sold (sitting in the waiting area).

quote:

quote:
You partied in their nice empty apartment and blew a gently caress ton of money on drugs.

Does that about cover it?

Almost haha, We actually looked after the apartment for 2 weeks, the first week we did a ton of drugs. The second week we decided to get sober cause we were too hosed, ironically that's when things got hosed.

quote:

And yes my brother does not like my GF, and he decided to call the cops after he found out we could not pay $600.00 upfront to them, we cooperated fully and got all the items returned except for the ring, he just wants money.

quote:

that may be the case, but I don't think so though because my brother asked me how wealthy my GF's family is and tried to get them involved so he can get reimbursed, they refused to get involved and so he asked us when we can get the money, I told him within the end of the month, then he called the cops. It was about money in the end which saddens me.

Ah yes. Your brother is purely pressing charges against your girlfriend over money.

If his girlfriend's family declined to aid his gf when requested, stealing isn't a new thing for her, or it is just a new fuckup in an exhausting string of fuckups.

His bro was already demonstrating the patience of a saint by allowing those who violated his hospitality to simply replace what was stolen or pay base value. If anything, his brother is doing society a favor, because "taking care of old folks," means robbing gramma blind while doing a lovely job cleaning up her house to this lady.

As soon as I saw that I actually laughed out loud. Sure bro, your girlfriend isn't going to be able to look after people and their things for a career, because she just proved that she absolutely can't be trusted to do that.

It's a very common issue with caretakers.

When they stopped talking I farted real loud and walked out of our room, thinking that she would be too preoccupied with the sound to get in my face.

Anyway, I personally do NOT want to get involved and would absolutely prefer to have never heard what I did. But to cover my bases, do I have a legal or moral obligation to inform someone in the chain of command of this?

Whilst together today for a new puzzle, I saw operation but it was BB8. I thought it would be super fun to play together.
He got mad I brought a "kids" game and refused to play with me. He kinda made fun of me a little for it aswell in like a mocking way, saying it was a childrens game and "what are you a little kid?"
Im really confused I was just trying to do something nice and fun. Im not demanding he play with me or anything. I just i thought we could play together and thats when he started making fun. Am i being childish?

Most amicable cheating story ever

quote:

I [26 M] caught my live-in girlfriend [24 F] of 5 years, cheating on me with her coworker.

My girlfriend and I have known each other for 7 years. We've been going out for the past 5 and living together for maybe 18 months. I flew a few states away for work and have been gone for the past week. My flight was delayed because of weather and I told her I would just stay the night. But on impulse, I decided to catch the red eye and then drive back through the morning. I figured it'd be a nice surprise.

I pulled up and noticed another car in the driveway. It didn't really sink in; I just thought it was odd for how early it was. I come home late pretty often, so I'm good at getting in quietly. Walked in, unpacked my dirty clothes and put them in the hamper, then went to the bedroom. The were both in bed, only partly covered by the sheets. I didn't recognize the other guy immediately. They were both asleep, and I don't know how long I stood there. It didn't compute.

After I recognized the guy in bed with her, I had one of those moments. Just a red second where I imagined picking up something really heavy and smashing his face. But it passed pretty quickly. I was just really tired and a little sad. I woke her up and told her I was going to a hotel. I think she was too sleep groggy to get it at first, she was smiling for a little bit before remembering. She got up and was starting to talk and cry but I just tuned her out. I grabbed some spare clothes and got out. I turned off my phone before I left the driveway.

I just don't know what to do right now. I feel like I've been in a car accident. Just sitting here in this lovely hotel room drinking some crappy whiskey I got at the supermarket on the way over. I've got my laptop, my phone, a change of work clothes and that's about it. I don't want to feel this way anymore. I don't wanna BE anymore.

tl;dr: Cheated on/What do I do

Update: Read the email she sent me

Finished reading it.

Cried for a bit because she was pretty blunt about it. It wasn't the first time they'd slept together, and she didn't try and say there were extenuating circumstances or anything. "I wasn't drunk or stoned. He didn't coerce me. I was flattered when he hit on me. He's a very attractive man that could probably sleep with lots of women. So for him to choose me was very special. It was a chance to satiate my enormous ego."

She said that she'd understand if I wanted her out of the house and out of my life. She thanked me for not calling her a whore or a slut or etc "even though I am". She said that I didn't have to stay in a hotel, that she'd be out of the house in the morning and that she'd leave her keys there. Then she apologized for "destroying your trust in me and betraying everything we had".

If I never want to talk to her again, she said that I don't have to. "I can't do anything that would account for what I've done. No apology is enough. I was selfish and arrogant and deceitful for no other reason than I wanted to be. As much as I want it, I don't deserve your forgiveness. I can only still ask because I'm a hypocrite. I'm sorry."

Just reading this is making me cry again. I'm glad she didn't try to justify what she did. But I'm still lost.

Update

I've been back home for a few hours. I made myself a grilled cheese with onions and watched some Cosmos. I almost wish I'd been called in to work, it'd be easier to keep my mind off things. As it is, it's been very hard to resist the urge to call her. I don't know how I'm supposed to settle things either way without contacting her at some point.

In the meantime, I've gotten a few phone messages. A few were from her family, who I'm on very good terms with. I guess at some point yesterday she told them that she'd cheated. Her sister let me know that she'd be staying at her place in a spare bedroom. And her Dad texted me an apology, saying that he thought he'd raised her better. No messages from her, which I was kind of relieved about. If I heard her voice, I'd be tempted to call. I very nearly blew my top when I saw I'd gotten a text from her coworker. "sorry dude I didn't know". Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. I don't really care as long as I never see him again.

I've gotten a lot of advice and support from people, which I really appreciate. A few think I'm some kind of rear end in a top hat for not immediately throwing her out. I don't agree, but whatever. However, I also received a few really disturbing and virulent messages suggesting I should have taken it much further than that. If I'm a "Beta" because I didn't send someone to the hospital, then call me a Beta. I'm not out to please people like you, and my heart pumps piss for that kind of misogynistic bullshit.

Anyway from the advice I've gotten, it seems like a protracted separation would be the best way to determine how I feel. I don't regret the last 5 years, even given what's happened. But I need some perspective, and I'm not the type to rush into anything. So I won't be tossing all of her belongings in the trash. What I could use some help with is figuring out the timeframe. How long should I wait? There has to be a discussion at some point.

tl/dr Need to get some perspective. How long do I wait to talk to her?

Metis of the Chat Thread: Aug 1, 2014

I love the mum in this one. I wish my mum could have done this to my terrible dad.

quote:

My [26F] mom's [54F] plan to surprise my dad [55M] with a divorce is kind of cruel

My parent's have been married for almost 30 years. Their marriage is not great. My dad's the kind of person who will come home from work and get angry that there isn't dinner on the table. Growing up, my dad never treated my mother like an equal. She was expected to do all the housework and look after the children, and dote on her husband at all times.

My parents have been empty nesting for a few years now. I have one younger sister, and we are both out of the house and have our own lives. Neither of us kids have particularly LIKED our dad. Like, we love him in the way that you love family, and we are grateful that he provided for us and helped us pay for college. But my dad is an rear end in a top hat who treats my mom poorly, and I never respected him for this.

I recently got brunch with my mother, and she dropped some pretty heavy news. She's planning on divorcing my father. I was honestly relieved and happy for her that she's finally doing this, but her plan to do so is rather troubling.

My parents are Chinese immigrants. My dad's best friend growing up (Daniel) and his family have been saving up for a trip to the US for years. They will be visiting my parents over Christmas. My dad, naturally, put the burden of this whole trip on my mother. He told her to organize their whole vacation, planning meals, reservations, activities, etc. Basically my mom is expected to be the complete tour guide and handle all the stress and organization of their visit (including picking them up from the airport) while my dad just gets to hang out with his childhood friend and not deal with anything. My mom doesn't even KNOW these people.

Apparently, however, this was the last straw for my mom. She is retaliating. She has only been pretending to organize this trip and faked a bunch of reservations and stuff to appease my dad. My dad thinks everything is organized and Daniel's family is being completely taken care of. Her plan, instead, is to serve him with divorce papers the day she is supposed to pick up Daniel's family from the airport. My dad will be out of town on business up until the day Daniel arrives, so she will be moved out by then. Daniel's family will be stranded at the airport, and my dad will come home to an empty house and no family.

While I support the divorce, I can't help but feel like this plan is a little too cruel. She can be as vindictive towards my father as she wants, but to drag another family into this seems unfair. My dad completely deserves this, but Daniel didn't do anything, and his family doesn't deserve to fly into the US and face this level of commotion.

Is it my place to say anything? I voiced to my mother my concerns and she basically was like "gently caress it and gently caress him." I barely talk to my father, but I don't know who I should reach out to or who I can talk some sense into.

My dad has never been violent towards my mom or anything, but I'm also nervous about what would happen if I told my father the truth before my mom has had a chance to gather herself and move out of the house without him being present. It just seems like an explosive argument waiting to happen.

tl;dr: My dads family friends are visiting. My mother was assigned the responsibility to handle their whole trip, including picking them up from the airport. Instead, my mom is going to do nothing and serve my dad divorce papers, leaving this visiting family stranded and cause a lot of commotion.

quote:

Update...

Thank you to everyone who replied. It's been about a month since my post. Reading everyones responses made a few things to me very clear, that I especially had not thought of before:

It is highly unlikely that Daniel's family being "stranded" at a large international airport in the US would be that big of an issue. They speak good enough English, they have cell phones, they have money, they have my Dad's contact information.

My mom's decision to wait for him to get his news until he returns from his trip is a strategic one, so she can move out calmly and safely. While my father is not physically abusive, he certainly would not let my mom leave comfortably. She doesn't need that stress.

While some suggested that I step in and take over her duties, others claimed that it was risky for me to take over this role--my father may then just see me as replacement for his wife. This may set a bad precedent.

While I initially found her plan to be cruel, some of you rightly pointed out that surely this act of cruelty pales tremendously compared to the years of mistreatment she has dealt with.

So, Reddit, I opted to know nothing and do nothing. Here's what happened. Around the time Daniel's family was to be picked up, I get a phone call from my father. I decided (especially since this was the middle of a workday) to ignore it, because I frankly did not want to get wrapped up in the commotion. He called again and then sent me a series of texts, demanding to know the whereabouts of my mother.

Now, if you recall, my father had been on a business trip this entire week. His first chain of messages/calls was when had a layover in Denver. He was to be in Denver for 3 hours before he could get on his connection home. This means that, at this point, my dad is aware that Daniel's family has not been picked up (because Daniel obviously called my father) and that my mother was not answering her phone, but he did not know why. He also called my younger sister, who said she genuinely had no idea what was going on, but also lived out of state so was unable to help (I later find out that my sister was also briefed by my mother about what might happen so that she wouldn't get caught off guard, and she was just playing a fool to help my mother along). I eventually text my dad back saying I have no idea what is going on, but I'm very busy at work and won't be able to get back to him for a while.

My dad, unable to find immediate answers, told Daniel there must have been some miscommunication. He told them to get a cab from the airport to the house and just make themselves at home until my father could get to them. He gave Daniel the keycode to the house, told him to call back once Daniel and his family were safely at home.

Here's where things get a bit theatrical. My mother apparently attached the divorce papers to an easel, with a nice big DIVORCE label and note, and placed the easel right at the entrance hall to the house so it's the first thing you see once you open the door. So, as you guess it, who get's the divorce news first? Daniel and his family. Daniel then has to tell my father that my mother is divorcing him.

This is precisely what happens (Daniel recounts this in private to me later, which is how I know). But apparently my father went through a range of emotions, from disbelief, to a fumbling stutter, to anger, you name it. This, by the way, is happening while he is at the Denver airport, surrounded by his colleagues. He then has to, presumably, give some sort of explanation to his work friends and deal with an awkward and uncomfortable plane ride back home.

Long story short, my dad was incredibly embarrassed and flustered. He had no idea what to do or how to help himself or anyone. Daniel actually ended up coming to the rescue, because he is apparently quite the meticulous planner and had many suggestions for activities and sightseeing. Basically, Daniel took charge of his own vacation, while my dad fumbled around like a lost puppy, just tagging along their trip while being completely discombobulated.

I expected my dad to put on a farce for Daniel and his family and pretend things were fine, but he was unable to do that at all. I think he legitimately and honestly believed that my mom would never leave him, and was too much at a loss for words to even be angry.

Later on, I stepped in to help out Daniel's family and make sure they were doing okay, giving my dad some time to himself. Overall, while they weren't wined and dined in quite the way the probably expected, Daniel seemed like a good and understanding friend, and they managed to have a productive vacation. Daniel said towards the end, when the shock had worn off, my dad and he were able to have a little fun. It was probably a good thing that Daniel was around to help my dad through it.

As for my parents, in general, they are only communicating through their lawyers. My mom moved out to her own apartment. She hasn't told my father where she lives, and I am completely staying out of it. My mom seems like a brand new person to me. I am incredibly happy for her for being so brave and finally taking charge of her own life.

My dad is pathetic and completely helpless. He's been wrapping himself up in his work and eating lots of takeout. I've been careful with my involvement: I will be supportive enough so he doesn't feel completely alone, but I am adamant to not become some sort of caregiver for him. I refuse to answer questions about my mothers whereabouts, but I do express sympathy for her. It's important for me to make sure my father recognizes that honestly, I am on my mothers side, and that I never agreed with the way he treated her. That being said, I am also careful not to antagonize my parents towards each other. I want this breakup to be as clean as possible.

tl;dr I didn't intervene. Daniel had to get to the house on his own, where he found my parents divorce papers. Daniel had to tell my father that my mother was divorcing him. Daniel ended up taking charge of his own vacation, my dad tagged along, I helped a little. My mom is on her own and happier than ever, my dad is completely lost.

On one hand, I'm sympathetic to "should I change a big chunk of my appearance for someone I'm interested in?" as a real concern. On the other hand, why are beard guys so loving monomaniacal about their goddamn beards

hmmm a beard or getting laid. which is more important asks i. i can regrow a beard in a week do these guys takes months or some poo poo.

But is your beard oiled and conditioned? Are you such a dull person that it is literally the most important feature of your person?

If grilled cheese with onions guy is a beta then all people should be betas, that was a truly heartwarming tale of maturity, calm, communication, and restraint. As such it has no place in this thread.

(Just kidding it was really nice to be reminded some people don't live their lives as a series of increasingly bad decisions.)

WAY TO GO WAMPA!!: Oct 27, 2007

My (30M) GF(25M) went out and partied till 8am last night, used coke and then breastfed our son.

quote:

I am livid. I knew she had trouble with drugs in the past but for the two and a half years we've been together, she's been clean. Last night was her first slip up (that I know of, I'm about 75% sure it was) but she turned her phone off and I had no idea where she was until she came home at like eight in the morning and then went right to soothing our son back to sleep. It wasn't until later today she told me the story out of guilt because I knew something had happened and she kept it from me.

The things im upset about most are her turning her phone off and not keeping up her communication with me.

And her breastfeeding our son. Obviously, I don't want her doing drugs but if she wants to gently caress up her life that's her priority but dragging my son in with her is something I just can't abide by. She says it was just a bump and that nothing else happened, she feels really bad about it and said that she looked it up online and unless she had done a lot of coke none of it should have passed over to my son. Honestly, this is something I never thought I'd have to say or ask about.

Any advice anyone can offer? Please, this is wayyyy out of my paygrade. All of my girlfriends before this have been very functional, "nice" girls so I have no idea how to go about handling this.

Thank you.

TL:DR- The title pretty much sums it up.

Just wanna use the new :murder:

I'd drag her by the drat hair to therapy and make sure she never saw the kid again. You don't get to have those kind of lapses in judgement and then potentially cause irreparable damage to a kid because of it.

On the plus side, the kid was most likely not harmed at all.

Everything I'm seeing suggests cocaine readily passes into breast milk due to its chemical properties, stays there for a while, and is not easily metabolized by infants (unlike adults), causing it persist for days with the potential to do some pretty nasty things. I guess you could argue it hadn't had time to pass into the milk yet?

Yeah, sometimes mothers in labor test positive for cocaine and that always gets a nice DFCS refer and likely foster placement. Because cocaine is terrible for children and making good life decisions.

If she did a single bump like she said at the beginning of the night it's prolly fine. That being said she was likely up all night doing blow since she showed up at 8 in the morning which def would not have metabolized yet

The problem seems like it isn't a matter of whether it's metabolized yet by the mother, it's that it gathers in breast milk prior to being metabolized - where it won't be easily metabolized by the mother and subsequently won't be metabolized by the baby whose metabolism isn't very good at doing it. So it hangs around for a while and keeps doing what it does.

Despite adults metabolizing cocaine pretty quickly it apparently ends up in mother's milk in notable amounts so it seems like it passes into the milk pretty fast after being ingested. Basically, if she took some at the beginning of the evening it'd probably have been long enough for it to end up there.
