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.

I mean, she should either stop getting high or be more cool about it. No student's going to go "I saw the teacher stoned at a diner!" and get her fired.

Well, I can't think of the answer off-hand, but if He was speaking to a Pharisee then it was likely the sarcastic and less profane, but no more polite, equivalent of, "are you loving retarded? How could that possibly even matter in the afterlife?"

heaven's like an orgasm all the time so you don't have to be loving to do it therefore there is no cheating because there is no need for the kind of activity you gotta pee after so you don't get a UTI

My wife and I are still fairly young, she's 21. We've been married for about three years and been together for a year beyond that. At the very beginning of our relationship she did cheat, though the guy had started off as a child sexual predator and abused her long before we ever met. She cut it off with him and came clean shortly thereafter. I was hurt, but she was obviously hosed up from this guy also. Aside from this she's never given me anything to be suspicious about.

In general we have an open relationship, though neither of us has acted on it. Our biggest rule is that we keep each other informed to the minute about our feelings for others if anything is developing and never lie surrounding it. She's bisexual and there are a few times where she's looked on dating sites for women to casually date, she's not shown any interest in men and really hasn't used them much anyway.

So two things got me being a bit weirded out yesterday:

The first. She tells me randomly last night that she's meeting some guy for coffee (non-romantically) today. We tell each other a lot about our lives so it was a bit surprising I'd not heard of this guy before. She explained they'd had a good conversation online over the last week or so and he'd asked her to coffee, that she wasn't interested in him romantically and that she's specifically told him she was married so there should be no weirdness. Though she didn't say it outright she implied it was someone our age.

I was doing some work, but a few hours later when I finished I logged onto her OK Cupid profile (we both do this frequently to each other, our internet accounts are generally very open to each other) I found out that what really happened was the guy sent her a one sentence message a week ago saying he'd reply to her profile more later and then she responded with a sentence joking about being so formal. Today he'd responded to that message with two paragraphs referring to very obviously tailored flirting (talking about communes and using a lot of the bullshit terms people use to look smart) and a third paragraph that was along the lines of "I enjoyed reading your profile and would love to discuss stuff like this sometime over coffee." She briefly replied to his first two paragraphs and gave a time to meet the following day (today). I then read his profile and he was very obviously kind of douchey (something she's usually very vocally against). On top of all the douchey things guys do to get girls to like them he also was 33, unemployed, and mentions many times that he's on "happy pills." At times he goes into random angry rants on his profile and just int general seems a bit unhinged. She also did not mention she was married (though it does clearly say it in her profile and she says now that that's what she meant by it).

So at this point I'm completely weirded out and wondering why she would actively try to meet him without knowing him and with him being such creeper. I bring up that I feel weirded out by this and she gets really defensive and ridicules me for being ridiculously over protective. It comes out that she'd read his profile before when trying to get a friend a date on there and though he was a complete douche but forgot that when he messaged her. I'm not really jealous but I insisted to her that I felt there was something off there. That it didn't add up. I honestly don't think she's looking to cheat on me, possibly it's something weird mentally otherwise (her family has a history of mental illness and there's a better then average, though still low, chance she will develop a schizotypal disorder given her dad has one and her mother is crazier, though not diagnosed with anything). She's pissed because she assumes I'm jealous and controlling and I honestly don't see how she could not see this as weird and completely filled with warning signs (both for her with that guy and for me with her).

The second thing came up this morning. I was thinking over whether or not I was being jealous and something I thought of was that there's this guy she met in a history class that I was completely cool with where many would freak out. You see she'd been talking to this guy and she was excited because it seemed like he wasn't a douche. He invited her to a history club she was starting (oddly this is happening for the first time today also). What makes it a bit weird is that she commented here on Reddit at some point saying that him talking to her about history and not desperately trying to get in her pants caused her got him a date. I figured she was lying about it to Reddit since she knows I read her posts (she reads mine also) and she said she was just trying to make a point about how to get a girl. I didn't really think about it again until this morning. Then I started to realize that would seem a bit chumpish given how crazily suspicious that stuff is (in my eyes). She even specifically mentioned that she wasn't sure if anyone would show up to the history club so it might just be him and her there chatting for the entire time. Just the more I think about it the more weird it seems. I brought that up this morning and she gets angry and defensive again and starts making statements about how she just won't try to make friends anymore and that she'll delete her dating site profile and stop talking to men. Which is a very bizarre reaction considering she's had and still has many friends who are male that I've never been weirded out by and this stuff seems fairly objectively suspicious.

So I'm left without a clue. On the one hand this stuff reeks of something off going on but on the other if she wanted to date someone she could just be upfront about it since we've been clear that casual dating is fine. I've mentioned it multiple times to her in relation to this and she vehemently denies and romantic feelings. Why would she tell me about all this if she was really doing something wrong? I really do believe her, but I feel like I'm putting blinders on when so many facts just don't align. I don't see any reason for her to hide anything from me but in my eyes the evidence is fairly clear.

Am I being overly suspicious or protective? Is what she's doing normal for most (she doesn't usually meet people online this quickly before and is very judgmental against those who do)? Though I'm not freaking out, is being worried about the safety of meeting a guy like that even out in public overblown? I'm just looking for some outside perspective.

Edit: Just to be clear she's had close guy friends before and even now. My issue isn't that she could gently caress guys, she's had crushes on some of those friends and I've encouraged her to pursue it. My issue is that I'm afraid there may be some deceit in here and I have no clue why she'd feel the need to hide something from me. If it's not deceit I'm afraid of what would cause her to act so unusual and against how she usually acts.

Whether or not her concerns are rational (and I lean towards "rational" here), the boyfriend's being completely churlish about it. It's not like she's gone teetotal and started screaming at him about THE DEVIL'S LETTUCE; she just wants him to make the dispensary runs. Seriously, who cares?

If they smoked a lot as a couple odds are they were stoners who got high before doing basically anything for entertainment, it's a big change to go from consistently doing that to not. I mean he should just grow up and deal with that but I think that is the core problem of the issue, like getting stoned and going for a walk to grab food is a lot of fun, now they just watch netflix or w/e.

I am a chronic cheater [26F]. Last weekend I cheated on my wonderful bf [26M] (6 months together) with my ex-bf [33M]. My ex-bf is asking me to make things right and come clean. How do I confess to my bf ? What do I next?

Dear Reddit,

I see that most post about cheaters are from the perspective of the one whom was cheated on, but in this case I am the cheater. I want to ask your advice and stop this pattern of cheating because I believe it doesn't reflect who I am. I want to stop hurting people and stop perpetuating this pattern where I end up hating myself more day by day. I have no clue why am I cheating and lying constantly. From the outside I don't seem like a bad person and I don't identify myself with one. Unfortunately, my deeds speak for themselves...

The relationship with my current BF, Andrew, started 1 year ago when I started to have an affair with him while being with my ex-bf, John [33M].

John and I have been together for 4 years and we had our ups and downs. We started our relationship in a work environment where he was my boss. I initiated the relationship and he didn't say no. Unfortunately that created a lot of conflict in our relationship for about 2 years as long as we have been working together. He was caught between being an understanding bf and being a leading figure that should give me orders and have no emotional attachment. My relationship with his mother was also not very good, partly because she is a crazy jealous person, partly because I was making him choose between the 2 of us (his mother was his only family and raised him alone). Since his holiday time was limited due to his demanding job he had to split his free time between me and his mum or bring us all together, which naturally led to a lot of drama involving yelling, calling names and throwing stuff (me and his mum, me at him).

Although we had some other small conflicts (due our immaturity I believe and lack of proper communication) l was blissfully happy with him and never wanted to break-up with him. I genuinely wanted to marry him and have a happy family together. What happened is a totally different thing. Every time he was away from home on business trips and he could not give me enough attention/communication I cheated on him. I went out with 3 men for several weeks - we only kissed and let them touch me. I did not have sex with any of them because in my distorted view of the world I felt that only sex means cheating. So, I never felt guilty, on the contrary I felt that John was guilty for all the problems in our relationship...

Fast-forward to last year, I started spending a lot of time with my then friend, Andrew. John was really busy and he was glad I had a friend with whom I got along so well. He really liked Andrew. Only that, little did we both know that he had romantic feelings for me and his own agenda. Me, being the cheating wh*re that I am, I obviously loved all the attention and teased Andrew sexually more than I should. Like, for example, inviting him for sleepovers, let him peak at my cleavage, touching his hand by mistake for a little too long...The usual arsenal of attracting someone. Of course, I turned all my affection from my bf and started having uglier arguments all the time comparing him with Andrew and telling him that I hate him.

At this time, John was going through a rough period. He lost his job and his grandparents. Being the poo poo person that I am, I started a very physical relationship with Andrew, all the while not feeling guilty about it, but more anxious of being discovered. Next, Andrew pressured me to throw out John out our apartment to be with him fully. Which I did, but not before keeping John in a limbo for one year and going back and forth with him.

During the entire year I was officially in a new relationship with Andrew, but on several occasions I did sleep with John. Andrew knows that it only happened once. I was NC with John since last December, until this weekend when he emailed me to meet up. Since Andrew was not in town, I met him, talked and cried confessed about all my cheating. We ended up having sex. The next day he told me he still wants to be with me and asked me to come clean to Andrew because he deserves to know.

The problem is that I am living with Andrew and I cannot move to another place for the next 2 months (financial issues). I want to come clean. I have no friends here and my family is living in another country. It's the last month of my job and I have to deliver a huge project (my graduation project).

1) What the f*ck do I do now? How do I tell the truth hurting people as little as possible?

2) Do I move out?

3) How can I stay faithful? I want to stop being this horrible person who does horrible things to others.

tl;dr: I am chronic cheater. Cheated on my ex-bf repeatedly. Ended up in a relationship with the last person I cheated with. I cheated again on him with my ex-bf who now is asking me to come clean about my infidelities and come back to him. I am living with my bf and it's impossible to move out. Where do I start repairing things and how?

The thing about weed is you can basically smoke it constantly when you have free time and if you do it as a couple it's probably a much bigger part of their relationship than she really thought. She's filling the hole left behind with her career which is absolutely the right thing to do but I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being a dealbreaker for him, he's basically gonna have to choose between his old lifestyle and her. She has a good reason to cutback for her own benefit, he's basically forced into doing so for her.

Ideally he should use this as a chance to grow up a bit but if I had to put money on it I'd be doubtful.

You know I don't like cheaters at all but at least she is cheating back and forth on two dudes that were okay sleeping with someone in a relationship so honestly they all sorta deserve each other.
