I ran into this situation where I felt like I was losing touch with my ex. We were together at the time of course. My solution was basically the saying, 'a woman should never let her husband leave the house hungry or horny.' Excuse the gender bias, it's folk wisdom. Whenever I had that creeping insecurity I'd interrupt whatever she was doing and give her a clit orgasm with my tongue. Sometimes she'd be watching tv and continue, maybe cooking, and on a few occasions I stopped her on the way out the door and got on my knees right next to our shoe rack. It only took a minute. Zip the jeans back up and 'have a nice day baby.' It worked and it was reciprocated with things like blowjobs under the desk while I watched porn. My goal was basically getting her addicted to me.

It sucks that he won't ever see this but I think it would resolve whatever dynamic they have. As long as she likes orgasms. Though it sounds like she might be so distant that she'd prefer not to even have that contact. If she didn't that would be on her.

I'm pretty sure the concept of being in a relationship where the dynamic is "I'm insecure, so I need you to accept head right now, because this way I can reassure myself that you ~need me~ and are ~addicted to me~ and not standing there awkwardly with your car keys or pasta spoon in your hand while I give you totally self-serving oral" has made my genitalia retreat deep into my abdominal cavity, never to be seen again

lol what? Have you never had someone pay for dinner with a card and then get cash from peeps after? Or maybe you know somebody with Amazon Prime and you need some poo poo delivered or they have some vendor shipping dealie and they throw your poo poo on the next invoice and you give them cash for your poo poo? Never not once?

He didn't give her the money as soon as he used her card to buy it, he gave it to her when she got an alert from her bank.
So he may not have even paid her if she hadn't noticed the charges. She had also said no literally the night before the purchase. He should maybe work on impulse control and having friends he hasn't burned yet on this kind of poo poo( whose money or cards he could've borrowed if girlfriendmom said no), and he should maybe work on not committing cc fraud.
She should maybe be less judgey, but I can't bring myself to say she's anywhere near wrong here. Borrowing someone's card or money, especially if you have cash in hand at that very moment, is one thing, but this is a horse/skateboard of a different color.

Parents charge me rent when I visit once a year. (Extended post from r/personalfinance). Thoughts?

u/J1--1J1y
Hello there,

I'm generally interested to see what a wider population thinks of this situation. Everyone I've discussed this with in person tends to think it's a bit strange.

Originally posted this in PF because I thought at the core of this its a financial issue, but got a lot of callouts about it being more appropriate here. So, this is the same post with additions regarding more info as asked for in original post

/r/personalfinance/comments/34pewa/parents_charge_me_expenses_when_i_visit_annually/

So, I went overseas (New Zealand to Australia) to complete an internship, which I have since completed, after I completed university. I have decided to remain in Australia due to the professional opportunities etc, that will serve me well in the long term (also lifestyle).

Every summer I take my leave to go back home. I stay with my parents, spending my time hanging out with them, friends, cousins and so on during Xmas and New Years and the festive season when everyone is usually on holiday too.

My parents charge me rent to cover my own expenses while I visit. My longest visit was 5 weeks, 3 at the least. The average stay these days is about 3 weeks. The most they have charged is $100 a week, the least is $75. This is in its 7th year.

I'd estimate I spend 60% of my time at the home, using expenses. Any day might entail me spending the whole day at home doing whatever, spending the entire day (or even few days away) with friends, or some kind of 50/50 split. I'm not having gourmet breakfast, lunch, and dinner while running the power 24/7.

I of course help out with chores and help wider family with whatever, babysitting for example. I also contribute by way of buying daily things like bread and milk, gas, alcohol, food/coffee if we go out for lunch/dinner.

Be aware I'm very grateful to my parents for bringing me up with financial wise. I have paid off my student loan and purchase my own home for which I have paid off half my mortgage in 7 years. This teaching started from a young age, I've never been without a job since I was 12, now 30, qualified, and working in healthcare. I've never lived beyond my means. I pay rent at my own place, pay all my own bills, have never been in credit debt or 'sprulge' etc. If i want something, i save up for it yadda yadda yadda. I studied while living at home for maybe 1 1/2 years (of 4) and paid rent at this time, but in that case I felt it was justified.

Some additional info about our financials. Keep in mind neither of us are near struggle street or anything, so these are the financials relevant to the situation.

Both used to work full time but that is currently down to one working near full time hours. Purchases since I've left have been a new tv+stereo home theatre, new 4WD dodge, and a boat (yes, a boat....they got a boat). They have no mortgage and all us adult children are out of home.

Beyond rent charge, I also have to pay flights which can be $700 something return. Also, my parents won't pick me up from/drop me off at the airport which is just on an hour away, which adds $160 back & forth getting a shuttle. So all expenses usually end up $900ish. I fully accept the responsibility to pay for the flights. My mum has visited me once in Australia and I didn't charge her a cent.

I am in two minds about this situation.

In my practical mind yes, I am a financial expense over time. I get that.

In my emotional mind, I don't feel welcome. I visit once a year. When I add the factor that they won't do the airport thing either, well....I just feel like a tenant. 2 hours out of their year, and maybe $30 gas.

Now it's not like we have a relationship issue or anything, everything is always on good terms. It's just 'there' and with various people from various aspects of my life (friend, friends parents, parents young and old at work) thinking it's strange, its just bothering.

I've tried telling them this but they bring it down to 'paying my way' and I dont think they get how this comes across. Above my daily contributions/assistance, they set out a weekly minimum.

Thoughts?

tl;dr: parents charge me to stay at their place on holiday. I think it's lame, most others do, parents dont.

Thoughts?

Actually in NZ that happens all the time. I even charge my friends cleaning and tidying fees if I have a party. $5 in the jar by the door or I throw you down the steps.

My grandparents used to make me work for board, mowing lawns, feeding chickens, that sort of thing.

Some families are different, NZ is weird in that we're halfway stuck between A) Shoving the kids out the door at 18 and telling them to be financially independent while getting insane student loans, and the reality of B) Living costs are huge in NZ, especially insane in Auckland, so a lot of kids are stuck in the parental home for practical reasons forever. I was actually thinking how NZ-relatable that topic line was before he even metioned being kiwi.

To me, the issue is not loving picking your goddamn family up at the airport. gently caress those lovely parents, seven years running of not picking up/dropping off loved ones at the airport, jesus.

Went looking for an OP to post, found a comment that was funnier than any of them:

reply to My (20 M) GF (20 F) of 4 months, is a super picky eater posted:

I think your girlfriend is a saint. As a picky eater myself, foodies are some of the most annoying people around.

They rank between acoustic guitar guy and person who takes their dog everywhere.

Now, there are tons of reasons why people are picky. Taste, texture, smell, memory association, over sensitivity to seasoning, and probably a hundred other things.

For example, I will not eat anything with raw tomatoes. If you bring me something with raw tomatoes I will not eat it, it is disgusting. Nothing will make me eat them.

Same with coconut. I don't like the smell, taste, or texture of coconut. Early in our relationship my wife tried to get me to like coconut, she spent all day making homemade macaroons and then got pissed at me when I wouldn't eat them. I. Hate. Coconut.

I am reluctant to try foods that don't smell right. I absolutely cannot stand over-seasoned food.

My wife doesn't even salt my food anymore because she kills all flavor. Hot sauce or siracha? No thanks, I would actually like to taste the meat.

My advice would be to leave her the gently caress alone about it. Offer her a bite of whatever you are having.

If she declines? Leave her the gently caress alone.

Few things irritate me more than someone nagging me to "just try it". I am a an adult, I will eat what I want.
Salt, well known to kill flavors instead of enhance them.

I agree. The rent they're charging is low, so it's weird but... whatever, he can easily afford it. But not picking him up at the airport? That's a huge hassle for him, and don't they want to see him?

I like how he starts it with basically "gently caress people with hobbies!" I understand being irritated at dogs in dog-appropriate public places, but this dude just hates human joy.

I'm also struggling hard to come up with more of a first-world problem than "my partner baked for me to try a flavor type I hadn't enjoyed before, but I still didn't enjoy it," especially combined with the "why is she angry I didn't try her cooking?/I clearly still resent her for cooking something I don't like" bit. She was trying to give you a better coconut experience than you'd had previously, dude. Even if you don't like the cookies, the least you can do is not be a total poo poo about it.

Some people will differentiate between orgasm achieved via clitoral vs. vaginal stimulation, I think because of some weird Freudian theory about clitoral orgasms being "immature?" Which is kind of like telling a dude that orgasms involving stimulating the glans are "immature," but y'know. Female Sexuality As Dictated By Dudes Who Are Mostly Guessing is a wonderland.

No, no, you see, the Council of Dudes Dictating What Female Sexuality Really Is have theories, and none of them involve outre ideas like "female genitalia isn't a mysterious puzzle box" or "the way a woman orgasms and what stimulation works for her is probably just physiological quirks and not the secret key to her psyche"

I'm getting the vibe that he's internalized 'picky eater' as a fundamental part of who he is, instead of seeing it as a problematic trait he can work on fixing. This also makes it everyone else's problem when they fail to cater to him, instead of him creating the problem in the first place.

Like, I recognize half his excuses from back when I was a picky eater(this texture is weird! this food is gross, there's no way cooking it differently could make it taste different!), but by the time I was an adult I realized that was hosed up and worked on fixing it. This guy's probably in his late 20s and content to wallow in his pickiness, while aggressively rejecting the ideas that foods can be tastier depending on how they're prepared & that seasoning generally makes things taste better. If he ever has kids, his wife will be fighting an uphill battle to make them eat their vegetables when daddy won't even eat a tomato. But instead of lifting a finger to fix how broken he is before it causes bigger issues, he throws a tantrum at homemade macaroons.

Less individually funny but more collectively aggravating are the redditors who rush to comment on picky eater threads with "maybe they're just a supertaster/have ARFID", even though the problem is usually just that their palate got ruined with 'kid's food'(chicken nuggets, pizza, mac & cheese, etc), and nobody ever forced them to grow out of it.

I may have told this story before in this thread, but back in high school, my best friend dated a boy who wouldn't go out to eat anywhere where he couldn't get plain chicken tenders and fries. I think he might have tolerated ketchup with them, but I think that dude was just really into plain chicken tenders, by which I mean he was into tasting nothing.

I always feel slightly guilty telling that story, because the boy in question was in retrospect very clearly on the autism spectrum and was otherwise a very pleasant person and even a decent enough boyfriend, but: yes. These people are out there and they want their blandness as bland as they can get it.

No score unless that is a newer optional product.

If you mean people not opening accounts for KNOWN fraudsters, well all I can say is I don't know a lot of people who want thier name on the paperwork approving an exception for a multi thousand dollar new account loss when they might only make a couple bucks for opening the account.
