This is one of those things I think sounds reasonable enough on the surface that makes it too easy for these dweebs to not understand where they're going wrong. Like yeah, wanting someone you can share your life passions with is perfectly fair, but you gotta understand that someone who truly cares about you is willing to share that stuff with you without being super invested themselves and that this is a two way street. They think they're saying "I just want someone to share my interests with" but the reality is they're basically saying "I don't care about anyone else's vapid interests".

Hey I like all those things and might have even talked with strangers about them in high school but it's weird if that's a complete list. Isn't it more fun to date someone who has different interests and passions so you can learn about them while sharing yours?

Relationships can be for anything. It's nothing more than two computers connected via ethernet, communicating via a common protocol, for a defined utility that makes both computers richer than they were offline.

When a computer is offline, all you can do is play with what's local. You need to write everything. Nothing changes unless you set it in motion. It's less exciting than the lively interactions from networking.

But there's different types of networking. They can be defined for specific applications, where the protocols and arrangements can be optimized for that use. For example, HTTP uses TCP, but it's optimized for websites. FTP is optimized for files.

Me [40 F] with my Boyfriend [36 M] 2 Months, everything was so perfect until the ketamine Relationships
submitted 2 years ago by lonleysadgirl

Everything was so fun and amazing for the first month and a half. We would talk all the time, text each other funny pictures.. you know that honeymoon period. We would talk about how into one another we were. It felt so good. We both were into partying i.e. drinking doing some drugs once in awhile nothing to crazy. Just getting to know each other and having an absolute blast being around each other. We became an official bf/gf couple within a couple weeks of dating.

Fast forward 3 weeks ago... everything changed in what felt like an instant. He started doing Ketamine just about everyday with one of his friends. They just sit in a dark house isolated from everyone doing K all day long. His whole perspective on life has turned from light into dark. The amazing conversations we've had are now gone, the "I miss you" the "you are amazing and i'm so excited to be with you" messages have stopped. He's gone from talking to me all day to now he won't respond to be for a couple days. It's now incoherent text messages and depressing posts on FB about how he is going through a bunch of poo poo and he thanks his friends and family for all their love and support. I didn't even get a mention in a drat fb post and I feel like and idiot for even saying that! I don't feel like i have any placement in his life at all at this point. Maybe i do but i feel like its in-line after ketamine.

I've talked to him a couple times about how things have changed. But, i have not mentioned as why i think they have changed. Just that i'm getting pretty bummed out about everything. That's the part I am most scared to say anything about it because i have a feeling that will be the end of it all. He keeps telling me all the things i want to hear.. but, there are no actions to go along with his words. I went in knowing that he does it once in awhile but, nothing to this degree.

I really really am so into him i think he is such an amazing caring wonderful man outside of this. I'm getting really tired of feeling like this. I just want him back... we were having so much fun.

tl;dr: New relationship went from amazing and wonderful to darkness in less than 3 months. Boyfriend started doing a lot Ketamine.

I [18/M] feel like I need a relationship just to win (internet) arguments
submitted 2 years ago by throwawayjin

Hi!
I know this all is a little ridiculous but it's driving me crazy. I'm 18, male and am studying at uni since a year. Been very busy. Never had a relationship or sex before, but don't feel like I really need it either; I've got tons to do and a bunch of awesome friends whom I treasure and just don't feel like it.

Thing is - each time I am on the web, especially comment sections - single people are being bashed and the ones who had/have it all are getting so much respect. I feel like I'm being looked down on each time I read something on 9gag. And because I'm not "successful" enough in their eyes, I can't smear anything in these people's faces no matter what kind of bullshit they're spewing. In turn, If I had a girl, I could be the one doing the bashing, downlooking and ridiculing - though I probably wouldn't because I don't find making people feel bad a lotta fun.

Can you give me any tips on how to escape that crap? thanks.

TL;DR I'm single and feel like I'm being ostracized for it on the web and put in a corner and shamed, while not being able to do anything about it because the people who've had women are viewed as superior. Any tips on how to handle that?

My (22/F) husband (28/M) screwed up and cancelled our first date he's ever made in 2 years. I'm full of pregnancy hormones and am gutted. Need to know if I'm overreacting.Relationships
submitted 1 year ago by -do_not_resuscitate-

All throughout our dating life, my husband has never initiated a date with me. At first I thought it could be that money was tight at the time , and I had no trouble paying so I would plan the dates and take him out instead. I've never felt that men should be the one initiating dates, even since we were so far into a relationship already that it didn't matter who does the initiating and planning. He is also a joy to be around when he's in a good mood and really keeps me happy. My mom and brother adore him, and I do too.

We found out a month ago that we are expecting a baby. He wasn't very involved with the doctor's appointments and was overall very "chill" about everything. He made no mention of any future plans, if we would move to a better space or not. Basically just seeming like it made no impact on his life, he still smokes around me even though he does try to get the smoke to blow elsewhere. My hormones make the smell of cigarettes (especially stale) completely unbearable and I gag everytime. Its hard to be around him, and I feel even worse about gagging every time I try to kiss my own husband.

I'd bitch and moan about it but there is little to no change although he does chew gum after he smokes now. His attitude did change slightly after the gynae gave me a picture of our baby to take home. He sometimes talks about how we would raise our baby, and who would be good cop and bad cop and he strokes my belly sometimes. He talks to my belly sometimes too and it's really cute.

I'm getting side tracked here, I'll get to the point. So two days ago, he invited me on a date to the restaurant he works at. It's a very classy place, at a 6 star hotel here. I was super excited, since it would be the first date he's taking me on. And thought it'd be nice to see where he works at, and have someone cook for him at his workplace for a change.

I told a few close friends about how excited I was, bought jewellery for the night and mentally picked out my outfit. He took a nap around 5pm today and woke up at 7, I was pouting about dinner but he said we would still go. As I got ready, he came to me telling me that he didn't get the reservation because he only texted a colleague at 5pm and they hadn't responded yet. We had to cancel and I was so upset that I started crying (drat pregnancy hormones). He got upset at me and yelled at me asking why I'm throwing a fit.

He apologised angrily, saying it wasn't his fault. I told him that he should have confirmed the reservation before even asking me out, and he said that he had mentioned to another chef he was coming today. He walked away and sat at the computer for more than an hour, then asked if I still wanted to go. It was almost 9pm at that point and I was already upset and put off by the idea. I said no and he went back to the computer.

I'm lying in bed now, trying to hold back my tears every few minutes. He's since apologised and tried to get me to hug him but I'm in no mood. It would have been the first date he's ever initiated in 2 years and I'm really gutted.
Am I overreacting? It could be the pregnancy hormones so I haven't told him why I'm upset.

Tl;dr: Husband cancelled on the first date he's made in 2 years and I'm extremely gutted. May be pregnancy hormones but I've been in tears all night.

I found out last night my wife has cheated on me repeatedly. I'm crushed beyond feelings. But, it is so much more complicated than that.
20 points 44 comments submitted 4 years ago by throwaway6299 to /r/relationships

So, lets start in the beginning. It's 2001, my now-wife and I are Seniors in high school. We have been dating for 15 months and having sex for seven of those. I'm head-over-heals for her. Neither one of us has ever dated anyone else before. We were both virgins.

ACT I
She works at the mall part-time. We would talk on the phone every single night. So, she usually called me on the way home from work ~9:30pm. Well, this one night she never called. I was spam calling her until about eleven At this point I ran and jump in my car, thinking she has been murdered or something. I lived about 45 minutes away form the mall. I'm about halfway there when she calls and obviously has been crying. Not wanting her to go into hysterics while driving I get her to meet me in town.

So, She crys on me for about 5 minutes and then starts in with how sorry she is. She tells me that she has been talking to this guy at work and she went to sit in his car after work to "talk" and ended up sucking his dick. Naturally, I'm devastated beyond comprehension. We both cry and yell for a bit. Then decide it's not helping anyone and go home.

That was Wednesday. Next two days of school were HELL. I could barley breath while being in the same room with her while (we had 3 out of 5 of the same classes) On Friday I had to work. She had quit her job the next day by phone. So, at this point I'm certain I still love her and want to be with her BUT, I can't forgive her yet. At this point I made the worst decision of my entire life.

I got her to meet me after I got off and (loving drat MY TEENAGE HORMONES) told her I felt I needed to "reclaim" her and she should suck my dick. Well, she hesitantly starts. But, all this anger at her just blows up on me and I decide she needs to be "punished."

I'm not gonna lie Reddit this is the worst thing I've ever done and I have regretted it ever since.

So, anyway, I start loving her mouth. like porn star gag video style. She is NOT into it. I am shaking typing this because of the massive amount of shame. I finally get done with her and She just lays there crying. As the post-jizz euphoria fades, I realize I've massively hosed up. I start in with "I'm sorry I was so rough. Everything is gonna be ok now" Which just makes her cry harder.

Two days later she is still crying on sight of me. COME TO FIND OUT. This rear end in a top hat at her work. Didn't seduce her So much as he grabbed her by the hair and forced her. Thats right Reddit I orally raped my wife in high school as punishment for getting orally raped. I got her to file a police report on him. She left my part out of it.

ACT II

Somehow we got through that, then college (though she did try to break up with me once in our third year), and got married in 2006.

Life was good. More money than either of us has ever had. Got two cars, a house, a dog. Then in 2008 she gave birth to our daughter. It was everything I had ever wanted. Ever with a toddler we were still having sex 4+ times a week. I was So. drat. Happy.

Well, last august I lost my job very suddenly. Turns out I'm kinda a lazy bastard. I was hurt by the sudden firing and decided (to myself) to just take some time off. That didn't go over well. Three weeks in we stopped having sex. Which cause me to be more hurt. Which caused me to be even MORE of a lazy rear end. I think you get the idea (depression vortex)

We started fighting all the time and I just folded in on myself. I was so alone and hurt. I couldn't even begin to think about how she was feeling. Well, In December, I finally snapped out of it. (Not having money for Christmas presents will do that to a man) Had interviews in January which didn't pan out(almost fell off the wagon right there.) But shouldered on and finally got a higher paying job in March.

I felt alive again. Expected our marriage to heal up, the easy happiness, and the sex to come back. We've had sex twice since then and we ARE NOT HAPPY. In fact, we are talking about divorce. Which tears me up inside.

ACT III

I'm losing my mind. All I can seem to say to her is "what is so bad?" and "why are you so unhappy?"

The initial response was "I've just seen a side of you that breaks my heart" Which felt bad.

Then after 2 weeks of her going to therapy it became "I remember you raping me in highschool and it has hosed me up emotionally" Which felt Horrible.

Yesterday, she sits down and says "we need to tell people everything."

Our family and friends think I was only out of work since new years and NO ONE knows about the rape. I am shocked she would want to tell people, and kinda scoff at the idea. After all it is the most shameful thing I have ever done.
But, finally I say "just answer me this and I'll do anything. Have you ever cheated on me."

The first 1.2 seconds of her hesitation ripped my heart out. Skipping a lot of dramatic crying here.

She had sex with a close male fiend in college. Once. So she says.

In November she got really drunk and had unprotected sex with a married man in his car.
In February she got kinda drunk and had more unprotected sex with another married man.
It feels like all my organs are being compressed into a neutron star in my stomach. I haven't eaten or slept since yesterday.

I feel terrible for all the things I've put her through and drat IT STILL LOVE HER! But, I'm SO. loving. ANGRY.

How could she do that to me? Spend months coming home and making me feel like every problem in our relationship is my fault while barebacking random assholes at bars. Both of the times we have had sex since I got my new job SHE INITIATED IT! I have never even KISSED another woman and now I have a (admittedly very very slim) chance of having loving HIV! WTF??????

How could she come home and hug our daughter after that?

She is extremely apologetic and pathetic and I feel terrible for her now surfacing rape victim problems. But, gently caress ME, how do I get past this?

I love my little girl more than anything in the world. I just want her make it out ok. It feels like I should stay for her. I'm dying inside though.
