Therapy goon: She's spending her money on you because she loves you. She's banging you because she loves you. She's telling you "I love you" because she loves you. She's eating off of your plate because she loves you. She may not have understood your joke, (I sure didn't. "This is too much for me! No I wanted to eat that!" lol wtf dude,) but just keep saying little things like that and she'll get used to your sense of humour. Unless she's crazy. But I don't think she is. edit: Keep in mind that you may be stressed out because, if I'm remembering correctly, this is your first real relationship. At 33 and with your former therapist, no less. Everyone gets nervous with their first major partner, and everyone tries to look for flaws and cracks. I'm not saying to ignore red flags, I'm saying don't go looking for them.

I once met a wizard at a park. He showed me his magic wand I don't think he really was a wizard yo rear end is grass posted:I'm not saying to ignore red flags, I'm saying don't go looking for them. Well put. Everyone has flaws. Everyone is a little crazy. A successful relationship finds ways to deal with these in a healthy way. You're probably no walk in the park (ha!) either, therapy goon. Just go with the flow. I can only repeat myself, none of these things you have written sound terribly bad. The controlling aspect you might have to put a limit to if it gets too much, but that doesn't mean the entire thing is doomed. She might not even be aware she's doing this.

quote:I spent nearly 8 years in jail after being falsely convicted for a crime I didn't commit. 2486 days to be exact, I counted every single day to keep myself sane. well all there is to say about this is "good thing you have no hatred for the justice system" because I don't think it's done with you yet quote:My son, who is 9 years old, is better than me in every single way. And I hate him for it. Telling Kids These Days that They Have It So Easy is a common thing, but yeah it's also super obnoxious. At least the pride part is there; try to manage the resentment because that's 100% a "you" problem. Maybe make him get a summer job working retail or something when he's older if you think he needs to learn humility or whatever.

Don't worry goon dad, if your kid is in gifted classes and is thinking of skipping grades, his life (at least until college) probably isn't going to be great either. No matter what the counselors tell you, skipping a grade will probably do more harm than good. The kids in both his current grade and the next one up will both think poorly of him, the younger ones because he's a "nerd" and the older ones because he's young (and also because he's a nerd). I never did the grade skipping thing myself (in fact I started school a year late) but I knew a couple kids who did and I know firsthand the social stunting you expeirence being isolated in gifted classes. That's not to say don't encourage him to reach his full potential but don't treat him like The Next Einstein because he's probably not. Also if you hated your childhood it's not his fault, go see a therapist or something and work it out instead of taking it out on him.

Honestly I don't know why anybody wants to have kids but I think them being better at life than you were is really the entire point, isn't it? You had it rough so you can give your kid a leg up, and he makes life even better for his future kids, and so on. If future generations aren't going to be better than their parents society just stands still. And yeah unless he's full on Doogie Howser and going to graduate college by the time he's 13 don't skip him grades.

You know you can claim that he would have died if you hadn't fed, sheltered, and cared for him, right? You're totally allowed to take responsibility in however he turns out. That, like, what parents do.

Also smart, creative people are frequently loving miserable because society sucks and doesn't inherently reward brains or talent. There's a reason why we have the expression "Ignorance is Bliss". Your kid could be fine, but he could also become overwhelmed by existential ennui and live a bitter, jaded life where his potential is stifled by a society that doesn't appreciate him or rejects him outright. So just be happy he's a happy kid because all of that could come crashing down at any moment.

I can't really understand he toward your kid. I want my kid to rule the loving world, and to outstrip me in every way. Isn't that pretty standard? I mean hopefully I'll draw the line before I drop into crazy living-vicariously overbearing parent land, but we'll just have to see once I'm older.

Being gifted isn't a guarantee that your son will do better in life. Maybe the contrary actually. Over here in my country I read about a foundation that works with gifted people who, through their gifted-ness, and not despite of it, somehow managed to end up being social outcasts. The article I read was about a 32 year old guy with a high IQ who dropped out of uni with 25 and didn't do anything except sit at home and play video games since then. They got him to move in with roommates and being able to stand normal social situations and land a completely normal, non-glamorous job education. Apparently quite a few people with above average intelligence end up being chronic sadbrains underachievers, not rarely because of the expectations put into them, which then end up turning into self-loathing as intelligence alone really gets you nowhere. So don't worry, there's still hope your son will some day be as miserable as you are, if that's what you want.

quote:I had many homosexual experiences growing up. My best friend and I figured it out during puberty. He was beautiful and friendly and we were horny teens, so we took every free moment we had exploring ourselves. We never told anyone because, in the 90s, being gay was not something a guy would admit to. There's a scene from the movie "Saved!" where a gay teenager reveals to his church-girl girlfriend that he is gay by pointing at himself and yelling "GAAAAAY" while they are both underwater at the pool but I don't think I can do a good enough search to find a video link to that scene while I am at work Anyway you should do that quote:Hi, I recently moved in with my best friend in the hopes of A) getting out of the friend zone and B) saving money on rent. I don't think you should hold his pooping problems against him really, but still this is all basic roommate etiquette stuff which you could probably get him to turn around pretty quickly if you talk to him about it. Like, jerking off and playing video games are things he can do in his bedroom if you guys find a lovely used TV on Craigslist or something, and you can get a bottle of that spray that replaces poo poo-smell with clean laundry smell or whatever at CVS for $6. And cooking is a fun group activity if you do it together -- my wife and I cook together every night and it rules. The MRA crap is in this case a depression symptom IMHO. Seriously, "jerking off is a private bedroom activity" is a p basic concept I think

The last one though, get used to most of that poo poo hon because EVERYONE you move in with is gonna have a 'pooping problem' or weird jacking habits or some obnoxious thing, cute boys or not. This is the risk you take when moving in with anyone / thing and something you have to be prepared to take in stride / communicate. Just remember you're not blameless either since you clearly want the D and are treating this poor dude like he's your long time boyfriend only without any of the benefits of 'emotional support' or 'sex' just the 'support me through my inability to communicate like an adult' thing.
