The funny part about that one is that we explicitly had a guy post about copy pasting his profile and using one where it mentioned he was in an open relationship and one where it didn't and he got markedly different results. At this point the only reason to deny that it's a real thing that commonly comes up and causes issues is to try and make him feel bad.

Nah, a little light choking during night shift is just some good-natured horseplay. I'd recommend she run away, but dude might enjoy the chase.

My Fiance of 2 Years Can't Stop Quoting Stand Ups. So I have kind of a dumb problem. My fiancé hardly ever does any of those little nitpicky things that drive me crazy. We've been together 3 years, living together for 6 months of it, and we got engaged last month. He does do this one thing though: he'll stop in the middle of a conversation to quote stand up routines out of the blue. He won't quote one line. He'll say as much routine as he can remember. He will do this with just me, or in a crowd of our friends. He always uses the exact intonation of the comic. He does it loudly in a look at me voice. When he does it, all conversation stops. It doesn't matter if the people in the group are fans of the comic, or even if they know what he's talking about. Our younger, sheltered friend always looks at him like he's going crazy. I don't even think he does it to be funny! He's a very funny person, he comes up with original jokes and makes me and our friends laugh all the time, so I'm not sure why he does this. Out of our friends group he is the most outgoing, funny, talkative one and it's not like he hurts for attention from me or from us as a group. Three nights ago he and I had just finished having sex. I was laying snuggled up against his side, talking to him about his plans for a new Pathfinder campaign. He asked me a question and I started to answer it, when he rolled to face me and said in a West Indies accent "Somebody get this niglet away from me!" and launched into a long monologue about having never heard this slur before. It's a Donald Glover routine. (Just so you know, we're white, but he doesn't normally quote race routines or comedians who do race jokes. I think he'd just watched Glover on Netflix.) I wasn't interested and I kept trying to answer his question, but he kept talking. So I rolled over to sleep and he kept going. I'm not sure how long that routine is but he was still talking when I drifted off (it doesn't take long for me but it was probably at least 4 minutes). I've talked to him about him doing this, especially in public when it stops a multi-person conversation in its tracks, but he keeps doing it. I don't know why. Can you guys help me understand? What can I say that he'll actually listen to? Last time I was like "Is there a reason you do that? No one understands the joke and it pulls focus away from conversation." and he got really hurt. tl;dr: If I have to hear the What's New Pussycat routine after sex one more time I'm gonna loving kill someone

It's fine if you're like "oh poo poo, that reminds me of this funny joke, here's the gist, you should go watch the bit on YouTube some time", but launching into one sided whole bits apropos of nothing merits being left on some deserted island/nuclear test site. Also why would he continue to think that's funny after the tenth time no one in the room laughed?

Yeah, and aren't there specific dating sites for people with HSV 2? That'd make sense for how she met him, and also make sense as a place for this dude to cruise for women who have lowered standards and crushed self-esteem without actually having a major health issue. Now I'm flashing back to that recent thread in E/N where a dude was "struggling with how to tell" an online friend that (he'd decided that) the fact that she had cold sores since childhood meant she had been molested and repressed the memory. That thread was a winner.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Not sure if y'all will find this interesting but I do. I'm with her - they've got some real issues but this arrangement sounds exhausting. bringing this from the past but nobody mentioned the issures she causes quote:She is incredibly moody, and doesn’t have reasonable reactions to situations. Example: A few weeks ago my mum was expecting my sister to come round. My girlfriend came home from work and mum went to see who it was. When my girlfriend walked in through the door mum said something like ‘oh, you’re not Tess!’. From that point on, my gf was miserable and sulky for a good hour, because she interpreted that as ‘i’m not Tess, so your mum wasn’t happy to see me’. people are upset that she's being sulky for an hour after something that at least i consider to be pretty rude to do to someone quote:She’s not really a morning person, and a little while ago my mum said ‘good morning’ to her when she got up. My girlfriend didn’t respond, so mum asked why. She told my parents that ‘I’m not a morning person, so it would be better if you just didn’t talk to me in the morning.’. by god you will be a morning person in this house missy!

I would say *looking for/expecting someone, stumble across person who is not that someone* 'Hey you're not <someone>' is a very common and benign office joke that no one would take personal offense to. I say that as someone who absolutely supported the idea she might feel uneasy and suffocated at their place. Each individual example from that one to her "not a morning person" routine are all completely unreasonable taken out of context. They make a bit more sense if you give her the benefit of the doubt with how stressful it can feel being a stranger in your primary residence but none of them are remotely acceptable on their own as individual instances. For example; it's basically beyond rude to not reply to someone who addresses you and "not being a morning person" is not a good excuse for it, but it is a bit more forgivable if you accept that she's so resentful of the situation she's constantly on edge when dealing with the in-laws.

It's the kind of behavior that, if she were there for a week or two, would be rude. Considering that this supposedly her home, asking her to constantly be a guest in someone's home is cruel. The boyfriend doesn't have this hard of a time because he grew up in this environment and he knows how to act. If they are going to ask her to "pay rent" by constantly acting like she's a guest in their home and doesn't belong there, she should bug out now because that is massively unfair. I have no idea why she agreed to this arrangement in the first place, but it seems like a nightmare.

"we won't have to pay any bills and can save for a place of our own" is a really appealing motivator until you realize that living with your partner's parents is turbo hell it can be deceptively appealing if your partner's parents seem nice and friendly going into it Mirthless fucked around with this message at 14:25 on Jan 30, 2017 |
