Pick posted:One random example, which always strikes me as funny, is how women and man handle sharing hotel rooms. I remember watching eight guys work out how to arrange themselves in a room with two beds, and they actually had to argue whether or not it was OK for two men to share a bed provided that they were facing different directions, so one guy's head was by the other guys feet, and vice versa. A big part of the argument was there was not enough floor space for six people. I've shared hotel room beds with men (and women) many times and none of us involved cared at all past, ya know, going the gently caress to sleep and maybe hanging out a bit. Who gives a poo poo? The people you interact with are crazy loons. I just don't get it. I hug male and female friends all the time. Who cares???? Men with hangups over platonic physical contact are nuts and need therapy.

But lately I've been feeling insecure about our relationship because of something that's been going on since we got together. What an idiot, being insecure about her boyfriend defining her visual projection of her personality for her and subtly policing her when she steps out of line and dares to wear a tank top.

Hug in a Can posted:
Ooooh man, when I was in second year university, one of my roommates started dating a 40 year old dude she met on a dating site (and this was in 2004-2005 when that poo poo was waaaaaaay less common) who claimed to have cancer. His stories never added up, he looked and acted completely normally within two days of "having massive surgery", stuff like that. None of us actually believed he really had cancer, but we were vaguely humouring her while also trying to drop hints about being skeptical towards his sketchy rear end. Then my dad got diagnosed with cancer and I was basically flying back home every two weeks because poo poo kept getting worse and worse and I was mess, my mom and brother were a mess, my dad was a mess. It was extremely lovely. I ended up going bananas on her and this dude when I walked into the house from the airport and they were on the sofa watching some medical show on TLC with my other roommates (who looked veeeerrry uncomfortable) and she was all "baby, this must be so hard to watch for you" to this guy. I was exhausted, crying and completely emotionally strung out and I just lost my poo poo the two of them. I honestly don't remember what I said, but he left, she got screamed at me, our other roommates yelled back at her about he was full of poo poo and I ran up to my room and locked the door. Next day, the guy drops off a letter admitting he lied about the whole thing and some other unsavoury details. The last two months in the house were kinda tense for that chick, but everyone had my side in the at least. And my dad went into full remission and is kicking to this day! Moral of the story: never live with 5 other 19 year old girls and never lie about cancer.

Two recurring themes in these cheating stories; 1. Couple got together purely on physical attraction and the second this dulls they don't have any reason to not gently caress other people anymore 2. The person the cheater is involved with is somebody they had a deeper emotional connection to in the first place #2 is so goddamn common in these stories that it makes it really hard to rationally argue that you shouldn't be worried about your partner's exes, lol Mirthless fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Jan 23, 2017 |

Often cheaters are people whose SO is either their domestic servant or their financial support, so their "love" is a greed they can't distinguish from love because they're fuckheads

[23m] backs out last second with me [33F] - wtf happened hereRelationships submitted 53 minutes ago by PMTA111 First off, my husband and I are in an open relationship. Let's just put that out there. So, last Monday I texted a guy who I haven't seen in 5 years. We worked together in 2011 when he was 18 and I was 28. He had a major crush on me but a.) he was 18, b.) I was pregnant with my husband's baby. It was nice to catch up with the old co-worker, we'll call him H. H and I texted every. day. from last Monday until this past Sunday. It started out friendly enough, a "how's your life" here and there. Then it devolved into plans to meet up. We met up Monday or Tuesday, and just sat in my car and talked. He texted me immediately after we left each other, went on about how he regretted not kissing me, how he still wants me so bad, etc etc. Throughout the week it progressed into sexting, his going on about how he always had a crush on me, his attraction to me, how fond of him I am... we met up again Wednesday and chatted until we got kicked out of the park parking lot, and then we kissed. Let me make a long story short here, he made me feel, through texts, like I really was "special," to him. He stated he wanted to be the one to please me, he wanted to take his time with me, said he'd never hurt me, he was hopeful I'd be satisfied, he wanted to prepare for this huge big sex-fest with me, that he was my "lover," and he stated "what a proud title!". We set something up for Sunday morning. Which, mind you, the sexting kept on up until Saturday afternoon. Sunday morning rolls around and he comes over. My husband is at work, my kids are with grandma. We sat on separate chairs, watched some SNL, I tried to cuddle with him but it seemed weird. He suggested we go upstairs so we did. We start making out, dry humping, and he likes "are you having second thoughts?!" I said no, he said "I kind of am, I mean I'm in your house and I see pics of your kids and.. I don't know.." I told him okay, we don't have to do it but he insists on going down on me, which I let him do. I try to pull him up to me (at this point he's still fully clothed) and he stops me and is like "no, I'm sorry, I can't. Can I be honest? I met someone last night. But I can still go down on you!" He was adamantly against "insertion" for whatever reason. Mind you, earlier in the week I told him if he were to ever meet someone while we were carrying on this fling he should tell me because I didn't want to ruin that for him. He said, "how would what you and I have ruin anything?" which, I thought meant like... if he did get a gf he'd try to keep seeing me on the side. So he comes out with it that he's been chasing this girl (who is friends with his friends) for "years" now, and she got out of a really abusive relationship a year ago, and she's gonna be a nurse, and their signs are compatible, etc. All I could do was fake a smile and say, that's great! I'm so happy for you! Tell me about her." I put my pants back on, we go downstairs. The mood is kind of tense, I'm trying to pretend I'm okay (which, it's a blessing in disguise because the open relationship thing is new, and it shed some new light on why I wanted that). We watched Netflix for like half an hour and I hinted he should go. I texted him a little later and was like "I'm ugly, aren't I." To which H said, "no, please don't think that." And it kind of went back and forth a little. He continued to be apologetic, which when he told me he "met someone" he was incredibly apologetic like, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." I made the remark that all my purpose in contacting him was was to hang out and catch up, and he was the one that brought it to this crazy sexting/sex date level. Anyway, wtf happened. What did I do wrong? tl;dr old co-worker sweet talked me for a week, we set up a time to have sex at my house, he came over and "omg, I'm so sorry I met someone" (like 6 hours prior to when he came over).... what gives?

• My "psychic" mom hates my BF [26/M]--she's convinced he doesn't love me [27/F] based on his body language, lack on care and enthusiasm towards me, his outbursts of anger and selfishness, and for being career-less and broke. Should I listen to her?Relationships submitted an hour ago * by rere123ree My mom is kind of a psychic. She's very good at reading people's auras/personalities and she's been right 90% of the time about my friends/past BFs she's met, etc. She's hated my BF from day one, but she re-met him a few months ago and her hatred was reignited. She thinks it's plain as day obvious that he doesn't love me based on his actions and body language (he is not and has never been affectionate ... he doesn't really kiss me unless we're having sex ... he doesn't behave like a "gentleman" towards me). She said he also has a very "heavy" aura and mood, which she's right about as he's constantly feeling unsatisfied and thinks he is a loser--but doesn't do anything about it and blames me for holding him back because he wants to live elsewhere ... even though he doesn't even have a career and is a college dropout ... so he is very insecure and this translates to jealousy, not being happy for me or showing me support when I've achieved something (he literally says "cool" and doesn't even smile ... while he stares at his phone). The thing is I've known him since I was 13 and we've been through so much together. However, the older we get his behavior is annoying me, and seeing how other BFs act towards their GFs makes me feel very sad and lonely. My BF won't even help me with little tasks ... so much so I've had to hire outside help to help me carry things sometimes because of my bad back and he finds a reason not to be able to. He is also constantly broke and all of the $ I've spent on his dinners, borrowing him money is adding up. When I ask him for my money back he gets angry and says I am unsupportive and should not take from the little money he earns (I make more money than him and have a career ...)... So, I've stopped asking for my money back out of fear to anger him... and I've tried to say I won't give him money but then he basically food strikes to show how he can't even afford food and that I'm so evil for caring about $... but ... it adds up. He doesn't seem to have any aspirations of getting a better job or going back to school... He refuses to work a full time job because he needs time off to have a life he says. He works 3 days a week. Like I said ... none of this has started to get under my skin until recently, after my mom re-met him and voiced her concerns. Not about the money as much as the other stuff. She says he doesn't really love me and it's clear as day to her. She thinks he's just using me because he is too lazy to figure out anything else and doesn't even care to really. He's been abusive towards me in the past and he still makes fun of me everyday but claims it's in good nature. However ... he does it everyday. Makes fun of my clothes or how I look. Then he says it's a joke but it still gets to me... I feel like I should break up wit him but I'm really scared to, for the life change. I've spent so many years with him. What if I'm making the wrong decision and my mom is wrong? Can he change, if I continue to be supportive and show love? I just don't know what to do. I am terrified of making the wrong decision... I am a quiet and shy person with not a lot of friends and I've lived so long considering him my best friend. I just want to feel loved. I really do love and care for him, but am I just being made an idiot? tl;dr: My "psychic" mom hates my BF [26/M]--she's convinced he doesn't love me [27/F] based on his body language, lack on care and enthusiasm towards me, his outbursts of anger and selfishness, and for being career-less and broke.

If she'd just checked into a hotel room for the afternoon she could have had all the meat a cougar can eat, I'm absolutely sure of it From the way she puts it it sounds like the only reason they didn't gently caress when they were coworkers is because she was pregnant with her husband's kid, and I'm guessing the objection was more on his end than hers
