Nobody was saying his girlfriend was blameless in their problems, just, that she's not the primary problem here

Girlfriend is reacting to outside stimulus; Boyfriend is just doing whatever he can to maintain his bubble. I have to take her side in this because at the end of the day he's just choosing to stay inside his comfort zone at the expense of his girlfriend. Regardless of what wrongs she's engaged in, he's still a 26 year old man who lives with his parents and puts their needs before those of his partner. That's hosed up.

My [27F] boyfriend [40M] told me that he was going to be leaving his wife[40F], a year in and still nothing has been done.

I've spoken to him many times, at first it seems he wanted to do it but now he keeps saying it's not the right time. I love the guy, I really do. Everything I want in a guy, he's a good dad, has a good job and is very handsome but I can't be with him when he's being indecisive like this. I thought it'd be a month max and he'd leave her, but nope. I've committed to leaving with him soon after I confront him to leave her. Do I tell his wife and let him know that he's been cheating on her? I feel it my responsibility.

tl;dr: BF not leaving his wife like he promised, don't know how to end it.

Lady, just lie and say you'll never remarry. This is one of those white lies we all tell, like "You're the best sex partner I've ever had." Then you can do whatever if he dies, because guess what, he'll be dead.

here have a typical tightfisted jew, refusing to share his jew gold

My(31M) GF's(28F) family is anti-semitic and hits me up for money.

quote:

I posted this before and it was removed for having politics, so I edited and reposted.

So my gf's family are transplanted hicks from kentucky, they moved when she was quite young, but they maintained their bible belt/rednecky beliefs, which I'm generally fine with. I don't mind prayers at dinner, or some of the more idiotic poo poo they say. However, there are a few problems I have that I cannot ignore. I am Jewish, they know this, they are fairly strongly anti semetic. Not the pro-hitler, jews are evil antisemetic. The "you're a good jew, but those evil jewish bankers" or the more casually antisemetic. They casually call famous people who they don't like "stupid jews", whether they are Jewish or not. I find that infuriating, but I have a fairly thick skin, so that by itself is tolerable. But because I'm in the finance industry and have a very high paying job at a hedge fund, they both ask for money and insult me. They think that because I live below my means, and save/invest a lot, that I am "cheap" or am not treating their daughter "right", even though she is fine with how we handle money, and they raised her in a lovely household. They also hit me up for money. Not 20 bucks for the pizza or 50 for something small, large amounts of money. I'm going to note something here

I DON'T KNOW THESE PEOPLE VERY WELL AT ALL!

One of my gf's brothers asked to borrow something like 1,500 to pay off his payday loans. Her father, her goddamn father asked for 500 for some kind of household maintenance. Maybe they think that because I've been with my gf for a long time, I'm a "member of the family", and can be hit up for money.

My gf knows the stuff they are saying isn't cool, but she doesn't want to create tension or conflict and has asked me not to say anything about it, so I haven't

How do I deal with this and should I ask my girlfriend to talk to them or just grin and bear it?

Note: I've never given them money

The heaven card is lovely to play, didn't even Jesus himself flip the gently caress out when some Pharisees asked him who got to bone down with whom in the afterlife when they were all legally married but the widow kept remarrying after her husbands' deaths? I think if the actual Son of God doesn't have a real answer for you there, it's kind of off limits for a relationship fight.

Me [22 F] with my boyfriend [22 M] of 4 years; he is angry with me because I wish to keep my marijuana use completely inside the home?

quote:

Hi guys, long time lurker. I'm using a throwaway just in case. I'm posting here because I've tried talking to my boyfriend about this multiple times, but he just doesn't seem to get it and it's starting to cause problems we've never had before.
My boyfriend and I met in college freshman year and we have been together since then. We also live in a legal marijuana state and often enjoy cannabis together. I wouldn't ever say that it is a "core" part of our relationship at all, but it is something that we like to partake in together. Normally we would go to the shops together and pick up our new bud together. We would also go to things like concerts and amusement parks together and partake before hand.

The issue now is that I'm a first year teacher and no longer feel comfortable with this. Though it is legal in my state, and my district did not test me upon hire, I still don't feel comfortable going to dispensaries and/or being high in public anymore. I've only been teaching for one semester, but I live in a small city and in the same neighborhood I teach in and see students out and about at least once a month it seems like. There is no way I am going to let one of my students, (or arguably worse, a parent) see me in public and let them have even the slightest suspicion that I'm under the influence or about to purchase cannabis.

My boyfriend, however, has an issue with this. At first he complained that I didn't want to go pick up anymore, and started acting like it was out of his way and a big deal. We have always gone to the shop about once a month, but now every time he goes he acts like he's doing a big favor for me (when he comes home he'll passive aggressively toss it on the table and be like "here's YOUR weed") even though 1.) he smokes and pays for half of it just like I do and 2.) he would have gone anyway. Now he's starting to whine and complain when I don't want to vape in the car before a concert or something.

He also says that I'm being hypocritical because in the past, I've been pretty active in the legalization movement. He says I'm a hypocrite because I "preach" that it's normal and not a big deal yet I am hiding it from my students. I disagree with him as I wouldn't want my students to see me drunk, high, or anything other than their professional teacher.

What prompted me to write this post happened last night. We were enjoying a quiet Sunday evening, both partaking and mentally preparing for the week. Around 9 he suggested walking to the diner a few blocks away and grabbing a bite to eat. This is something that we've done many times when we were still in school, and I told him that it sounded really fun, but I was too high and worried about seeing a student. And he loving lost it. He screamed at me, which he has never done before, and said that we can't have any fun anymore because of my "loving job" and that I was a "loving hypocrite". I just calmly told him that I've explained this a thousand times and wasn't going to do it again and then went to bed for the night.
Am I going crazy or is he being ridiculous? I feel like I don't even fully understand what the problem and I feel like he's making a big deal out of literally nothing.

It's not just about getting fired... She wants her students and their parents to respect her. She doesn't want to lose credibility. Even if she didn't get fired, it would damage her reputation at the school and hurt her career prospects in the long term.

I think she's a little too hesitant (before a concert? really, you really think somebody from school is going to recognize you and notice you're high?) but at the same time her boyfriend is being a really tremendous rear end in a top hat about it. He probably has a seriously problematic relationship with weed and he's getting mad at her because her reduced use makes it harder for him to rationalize his own use. Alcoholics and smokers do this to each other as well.

Pretty sure I'm [22F] insane and will end up alone and abandoned. Any help will do.

now here's the part i tell you i'm sick to my stomach today and wanting to cry my eyes out because i found out that my favorite character's fate in a game was left in a twist ending and i won't know what happens until august because of a dlc that will explain the rest of the story. on top of that, they might have changed his model.

i am freaking out. i am scared of the possible outcomes for this character fate as if he's a real person. i am, of course, aware that he's not real, but it's gut wrenching and the wait is even worse.
here's the funny bit: i freaked out about the same thing back in 2012 when he starred in a game that year. 2012 was the year that i began falling apart.

i'm crying because i know this is insane and i swear i don't want to feel like this, but i am and i'm not understanding why. why am i so attatched? why am i feeling like this? i need something, anything. people around me are asking me questions, why am i so upset? and the thing is, i cry about the character and then i cry about everything's that has gone wrong in my life so far.

i tried booking a session but they told me to try next month. i don't know what to do. please, any kind soul who can maybe explain to me why i'm so messed up why a character means this much, anyone who can offer me a way to get over this, i'll take it. i'm going insane.

tl;dr: i'm having a panic atack over a fictional character and my past mistakes.

Left out the first half of this because it was just bog standard depressed/anxiety stuff, but then it veered in a different direction.

Yeah, some Christian Mom™ would have a total meltdown and start hammering school board members until she got pink slipped. It's still federally illegal so the district has an out and the union isn't going to step up to defend her. She hasn't been around the school long enough to be irreplaceable, so they'd fire her just to save themselves the irritation of having to deal with outraged parents

she's still being way paranoid about it but I can't really blame her, she's probably got tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt and if she ever wants to make money as a teacher she can't afford to have stumbling blocks in her career this early

Yes but it's also often consumed extremely publicly, far beyond vaping in the car. Being drunk is a lot more noticeable than being high and yet still teachers do it regularly. Obviously perceptions of either are different but I think the, uhh, "chance of being caught doing something embarassing * magnitude of backlash" is still higher for alcohol even if the second term is higher for weed.

If you're going to be that paranoid, why even smoke weed at all?

If the issue was she was trying to quit weed and he was hurting that effort with his constant weed smoking, I'd have way more sympathy, but she still wants to be a stoner.

My (22f) boyfriend (25m) pulled a really mean prank on me. Can this be fixed?Relationships

My boyfriend of just over a year and I were up the entire night talking through Skype chat. He lives an hour away and we are long distance.

Suddenly he says something along the lines of "this isn't John, it's Mike. I've hacked his account". Earlier in the week he made a comment that his account was hacked and he had to change his password. My boyfriend and I have a weird sense of humor so I thought it was a joke, immediately and brushed it off. Throughout the conversation this Mike guy kept asking me questions and I would answer them and play along as if it were real. By the end of the night he starts sending old (explict) pictures and videos I've sent my boyfriend in the past. Then starts talking about sending them to my job and coming to find me.

That is when I started to get really scared, wondering if this was all serious. I got offline and I decided to text my boyfriend and he didn't answer. Then I called him a few times, no answer. Eventually after a few hours of panicking and crying, contemplating whether or not I should go to the police, he finally called me back in the morning and told me it was all a joke and to "chill out".

Right now I'm feeling so hurt, I couldn't stop crying. I feel embarrassed and sick that he would do something to me. I feel like he's hurt my trust with my pictures even if this was some sick joke.

Am I wrong? Can I fix this? I'm so hurt

TLDR: boyfriend pretending to be someone else on skype to prank me by threatening to sned my pictures and videos to my job

Also people with public facing professions such as teachers, doctors, judges, etc have to be double paranoid because people in small towns will readily gossip and judge if you get caught doing something even slightly unorthodox.
