Bad man for being human. And they're adults who can consent.

I hope the 22 year old and Dad get together and she turns out to be the teenagers mother cause she can't even for being so embarrassed she could just die.

Where did it say anything about her taking care of him? I dunno if a ldr didn't sound appealing to him they should just break up, I think opening the relationship is dumb but if she couldn't for w/e reason move with him when he was going then it just kinda sounds like their relationship was doomed either way.

She was already settled into her career, he was in med school/residency. It's not a hard inference to make.

When you're together with somebody for four years and you're both either at or about to turn 30, it's not a "long distance relationship", it's your relationship, and you are temporarily apart. This isn't like going off to college and not-really-breaking-up with your high school girlfriend. They are far enough into their lives that they should be talking about marriage and he should be able to keep his dick in his pants for more than two weeks at a time. It's not like they can't afford to see each other regularly on the kind of money he was making.

The dude's a dickwad. He was right to leave her, because he absolutely wouldn't have stuck to that relationship, but him making it about her is The Shittiest Thing. I feel terrible for her, she got completely screwed and wasted a lot of time and energy on somebody who clearly wasn't taking their relationship very seriously.

And on top of it all, she probably feels like it's her fault. gently caress. This. Guy.

I mean, don't get me wrong, cheating is wrong and I find it odious for all the normal reasons too. It's just, yes, exactly. For god's sakes if you are going to be a piece of poo poo, put in the effort to be a proper piece of poo poo. Don't even half-rear end being garbage, what does that say about you!?

I dunno, infidelity just kinda drops into your lap. You're working late again, your SO has been distant and it's been a lovely week and then, oh Christ, did I just gently caress Linda? Sure there are those that go cruising for a mister or a mistress or plan out three separate families based on their truck routes, or you've been thinking about nailing that cute checkout girl for months so you ask her out, but most cheating is just convenience and opportunity, often combined with lowered inhibitions.

Would you expect a relationship that started in such a slapdash manner to have a formal dress code or any sort of coherent planning? The tryst itself is already distracting enough, no need to complicate things. The people that end up cheating with work relations often spend far more time together with one another in a week than they do with their spouses. During high-stress crunch times, infidelity can happen purely as a form of emotional release.

Does any of this make infidelity ok? No. I just think you're honestly expecting too much self-awareness and introspection from people who are barely aware of themselves in the first place. We should pity the offender while we mock and deride, after all, it may be us tripping and falling dick first into a vagina tomorrow. Happens all the time, we swear.

The only problem I have with cheaters is the problem I have with anyone else that is caught doing something wrong; the, almost pathological, inability of people to accept responsibility for personal actions. Is it a human thing? A cultural thing? All I know is that it's hard and takes practice. Never admit poo poo to the cops, tho.

submitted 5 hours ago by 31havingaproblem12

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I met "John" about 10 years ago. We were both struggling artists in MA program at a very exclusive (and expensive) NE college. We both had wide eyed dreams of taking the world by storm through art...blah...blah. Standard stuff everyone in a fine arts MA program says.

Well reality began to sink in and I realized that I couldn't live via handouts from my parents and leftovers from my sister and got a job at a theater doing production with some set design on the side. The contacts I made in that job meant the job turned into a great career in theater/ticket marketing and sales. It allows me to stay involved in the arts while paying the bills with a little left over.

John and I got married four years ago but he has never come to the realization that he needs money to live. In fact he has not had a single pay check since we graduated our MA program in 2007. At first I thought this was a sexy, rebellious attitude but even before we were married I realized it was far more groveling to family members than I would like. When I got my job everything was fine for a long time because I was making enough money for the both of us and John was making some beautiful stuff.

Well about the time of the election John also decided he wanted to have kids. It also coincided with him meeting some very politically active people and either by choice or by con, they have convinced John to produce very elaborate and expensive art pieces to further their cause. I feel very strongly that he is being used and his response to that is that it's easy for me to criticize from my cushy spot in "the system." Never mind the fact that it's me apparently "lubricating the system" with my blood and tears that allowed him to spend an ungodly sum of money for the materials on a combined piece he just gave away to his new "friends."

I am incredibly resentful of this. In fact so resentful, on some nights I can't stand to look at him. It's very funny how being an artist also involves sleeping until 1 and bingeing on Netflix until inspiration hits. I work very long hours and weekends depending on a given show and schedule and I swear to god that some nights I will come home at 2AM after working 16 hours and by all appearances John hasn't moved at all. That's not the image of high minded rebel that I remember from our days in college.

I'm lost right now. He pesters me constantly to have kids but obviously he has no plans for me to quit and he doesn't have any intention of being a responsible stay at home parent either. I've suggested therapy but he doesn't see a problem and has some nutty theory that therapists are all bugged by the NSA for guys just like him (I like to hope he's joking--but not sure).

Is it bolt time for me?

Her (22F) breaking up with me (23M) because I didn't hold her purse. 1 year together.[new]
submitted 50 minutes ago by blahwhatebrr

We went to see a movie with some friends on Sunday. While we were waiting in line she had to go to the bathroom and asked me to hold her purse and I said no way. I'm not a jerk, but it's a huge fucken pink thing with sparkles and poo poo all over it. I'm not standing in line holding that. She starts whining about how heavy it is and I told her that's her own fault. Guys can get by carrying just a wallet, so she can learn to do the same.

She stormed off, and I let her go because I figured she'd come back soon because I drove us there. She didn't come back and now I'm embarrassed because I have to make excuses to my friends for all this relationship drama. She also dumped my sunglasses, drink, and phone on the floor, so now I have to carry them in my hands which is awkward and the lenses got scratched.

When I get home she's taken all her stuff and blocked me everywhere. She even took the cat which I know she only did to hurt me because she was always complaining about changing his litter, cleaning his messes, taking him to the vet - just everything.

I have no way to get ahold of her. She just gave up her old place up to move in with me this months so I dunno where she's staying right now. I called some of her friends, but they said that she's doing and they were gonna call the cops for harassment. I said that I could call the cops on her for stealing my cat and she just hung up.

In spite of everything I still love her. Aside from her crazy emotional side, she's caring, beautiful, sexy, smart, funny, a great cook, gives me massages, takes time to make me gifts. Our relationship was pretty much perfect. I can't believe she's going to throw it all away over something so stupid and petty. How do I get her to see that she's being completely irrational?

TL;DR Girlfriend broke up with me because I didn't hold her purse. How can I make her see sense?

I am SURE there were no pre-existing patterns in their relationship that might have caused this to be some sort of ... how shall we say, point of tipping?

If holding a pink froo-froo purse is such a huge deal then I don't blame that girl for leaving just for that. If he can't hold a purse for a few minutes with nothing at stake (also, the irony of her carrying his poo poo is just delicious) then what would happen if they got married and had kids and she needed some quick help with something?

I feel like the common theme of these posts are people who refuse to break up when they obviously should, if dude is really willing to just call things after 4 years as he's moving away it probably means for both of them it's good they're breakin up. I imagine there's more to it than meets the eye.
