Strong stroll for a mangy stray

Moridin920 posted:

Being super generous with the benefit of the doubt: dude is into anal stuff but is ashamed about it because "don't wanna be gay" and so he uses them on business trips and the condoms are for the dildos.

However, that seems kind of ridiculous and contrived and he's probably cheating.

For me it's the hotel room comment. It reads like he thought she might be able to find out if Ivana went to his room so he didn't want to make the lie too big but instead made it pathetic and hard to believe

Still, the idea of some business guy going on a trip and the whole time he's thinking "gently caress yeah finally I can ram myself in the rear end in my hotel room freedom is miiiiiiiiiiiine!!" is really funny too.

[UPDATE] Me [25F] with my boyfriend [23M] 3 years, he can't accept that I'm a vegetation and I think he's trying to trick me into eating meat.Updates
submitted 1 year ago * by veggiegirlfriend
Original post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/403t3h/me_25f_with_my_boyfriend_23m_3_years_he_cant/
So after posting, I stuck to only eating food I'd made and my bf got more and more antsy about cooking for me. I sat him down the next day and asked him the same stuff: if he had a problem with my vegetarianism, why he was trying to contaminate my food: since I asked WHY and not IF, he blew up. Demanding to know why I didn't trust him, how I could accuse him of this. He also kept trying to get me to explain why I'm veggie in the first place, but he knows this well so I didn't let him derail the conversation. Eventually, after the most frustrating, circular argument ever, he stormed off to our bedroom. We didn't speak that night or the morning.
When I got home the next day, he'd actually gone and cooked an entire chicken "for us". He asked me if I'd eat it. It was so surreal: him stood at the kitchen counter with this cooked chicken asking me to eat it when he's never known me to eat meat, as if we hasn't been arguing about this at all. I didn't even respond. I shouldered my way past him to the fridge ... which was a massive mistake. I guess he went a little nuts. I still can't really believe this happened, but he grabbed me by my hair at the back on my head and with another hand tried to force chicken into my mouth.
I am still shocked by this. It was terrifying, he was so much stronger than me. He didn't succeed and after some moments of me struggling, he let go. He just stood there, looking defeated while I literally ran out of the kitchen and got some stuff and went to my parent's. I'm there now, it's been the better part of a week. He's agreed to move out: put up no fight for the flat or for us (which I wouldn't accept of course anyway). When we spoke on the phone to decide this, he sounded ashamed. Quiet. I hope he's ashamed.
I'll never know why he suddenly snapped about my vegetarianism and I frankly don't care anymore, he's obviously just a wanker to do that anyway. This past month or so has been so different to the test of our relationship, it's crazy, but there's no coming back from this. I'm well shot of him.
tl;dr: BF tried to force feed me, we're done.

Also the anally fixated business man boyfriend was banging a dude I reckon. He told her he brought a girl over to deflect suspicion

They've been together for three years and he just snapped within the last month, and it devolved to him trying to force feed her. Prior to a few weeks ago it wasn't an issue. It really seems like something broke somewhere in his brain.

Me [37/F] with my husband 32M of 3 years, has road rage problems and put me and our child(ren) in danger

quote:

TLDR: my husband has a habit of acting aggressively in public, especially traffic. Xmas eve, I felt he put our family in danger and I wonder if I'm overreacting.
"We" were my husband (32m), me (37f) and our son (4m) and I guess if we're down to nitty gritty, I'm also pregnant with a 6 month old fetus.
Husband is driving, traffic is heavy, we have a green light but no where to really move to through an intersection since there's a traffic back up. A very nice looking Audi driven by an approximately 30m pulls out from perpendicular street and cuts us in line of traffic. Again, we weren't really moving. This move irritates my husband, who beeps at the Audi. The Audi driver basically gives him a look to say "what?"...basically the guy saw his chance to move into traffic so he took it. My husband then decides to give the guy the finger. I yell at him to stop, tell him to knock it off as the neighborhood we are in is gritty to say the least and there's no need to escalate the situation.
Husband starts gesticulating at the other driver as he's defending his actions to me after I scolded him for using vulgar sign language.
The Audi driver puts his car in park in the middle of the street and opens his door and approaches my husband. He looked like a nice enough guy but I worry about gun violence (someone was shot in a similar incident recently around here) and all I could think was that if this guy punched my husband in the face, my husband would have deserved it. As is was, all the guy said was "you might want to be careful giving people the finger around here" to which my husband belligerently replied "I'm letting you go, sir!" Like he wasn't the one creating the problem the whole time. I told him the other driver was 100% right.
I kept yelling/scolding him for a few seconds...this is not the first time he has acted like an rear end in a top hat behind the wheel , frankly he's very aggressive. I told him under no circumstances should he ever put me and his children in a potentially unsafe situation again. As far as I'm concerned he can get his rear end kicked on his own time if he wants to.
His only response? "You need to stop yelling at me while I'm driving." I replied that I yelled because I was scared by his actions and I'm not about to let our son watch his dad engage in violence. He'd have gotten his rear end pounded if Audi man had wanted a fight. As it was, he totally backed down once confronted.
Oh and the day this incident occurred his birthday and he made me feel like I ruined his special day.
So, I'm angry you guys. Is there anyway to get him to make an effort to change this personality defect, or should I just accept that I married a hot head?
EDIT: thank you for all the advice. While I won't be filing for divorce immediately, I will be insisting on therapy/couples counseling to address this issue. We were seeing a therapist a while back and she was very helpful in getting us to communicate better. But I do agree that this is an issue that, if not properly addressed, could potentially cause a big rift in our family. I've taken steps to correct my own behaviors that I've identified to be a problem and I want my husband to step up and do the same.
EDIT 2: Because a couple of commenters have posited that I'm a shrew who does nothing but yell at my husband, I'm pasting a comment I made below that I hope will present a clearer picture of the events. <I understand that yelling is not usually the best course of action, but you must understand that I. Was. Scared. I was honestly afraid that this other driver was going to return the aggression and that I would have no way to remove my son (or unborn daughter) from the situation. My son could have witnessed his father getting into a physical fight in the middle of a city street (unacceptable), the guy could have emerged from his car with a baseball bat and beat the poo poo out of our car, or God forbid, he could have had a gun and shot at us. I would rather my kid see me yell at his father for a dangerous maneuver than have to go through an attack at the age of four because his father needs to prove how big his dick is.
When he first began acting aggressively towards the Audi driver, I said quietly but firmly "Please stop. Don't. Stop." And when I was ignored and watched him escalate the situation, I said louder "Stop it. We are in a bad neighborhood." And then when the other driver approached our car, I was quiet because I didn't want to escalate the situation further but I was obviously pissed. In fact the Audi driver saw my face and probably realized that my husband was in deep poo poo with me.
The yelling came afterwards, as we were driving away from the situation and pulling into a parking lot, when I said "You need to learn to control your temper behind the wheel when your son and pregnant wife are in the car with you.">
I will also add that my husband has addressed behaviors of mine that he has found unacceptable, and guess what I did? I took steps to correct them so as to make our family's lives better. It is what we do when we're adults.

My dad did that fairly frequently when I was a kid and it was terrifying and stupid and made me respect him way less every time he did it. He also had anger issues in general.


That said probably wait for him to cool off before you start scolding him, not that I don't get it but it just won't be very productive while he's still in fight/anger mode.

This guy is going to get someone's head bashed in. I'm still breaking the habit of flipping people off and what got me into realizing how dangerous it was was someone following me all the way home one night and circling my block. They blew a stop sign. I gave them the bird and a little honk, thats all. This guy is either going to piss off someone who will bash their head in with a tire iron or likewise lose his poo poo and run some e off the road.

Instead of collecting my 90 day chip, I broke into some vodka

quote:

I'm so upset, embarrassed, feel and look like poo poo. I had been doing so well, hadn't been tempted until recently, last weekend which I managed to avoid. Last night I found myself alone, after talking with my dad about how great AA IS, and talking with another friend from AA about how well things have been going. A few hours later I fell out of a chair and my husband called an ambulance. No alcohol poisoning and CAT scan was clear.
Truth is, I've been slowly falling into a funk. Feeling disconnected from my husband, losing 2 pregnancies, feeling resentful of my little boy for being a typical 4 year old, hating my brother and his wife because they can have a house full of booze and ZERO drinking problems. Being there for anyone who needs help while being afraid to ask for help when I need it. My job constantly reminds me I'm overpaid for what I do, yet it's the only thing I can do. I'm afraid to go back to school. My house is chaos, no matter how much I try to keep it organized it's always a mess. I resent my husband for being a pack rat. I'm in a legal battle. My in laws are coming to visit soon. It's all just too loving much. So what do I do? I drink to make it all better. What a loving joke.
So that's it. My sponsor is aware and I've got AA friends calling and texting. I'm just so goddamn angry at myself.

What the crap, Gerber?

quote:

So I've started to relax about giving my 9-month old finger foods (I have a choking phobia) and I decided to give those Gerber Graduates a try. I picked up the Garden Tomato variety as they were the only ones my fiance is not allergic to.
I was shocked that they taste EXACTLY like Doritos! Granted, they're not nearly as nutrient deficient as Doritos, but why on earth would I want to give my baby a taste for junk food?
I'm sticking to fruits and whole grain cereals for his finger foods now. Anyone have any recommendations? What foods did your little ones enjoy when they were learning the basics?

My 4 y/o son had a nightmare last night and I was able to get up and comfort him.
I'm not going to gush about what a gift it is that I'm sober today, but today I'm a far cry from the mom who'd yell at him to be quiet while she was nursing a hangover. I'm keeping those guilty feelings in the forefront of my mind because I need them to keep pushing me onward.

Why would you date someone for any length of time after they did that, holy poo poo.

A professor of mine was on some back road one laner thing in his mercedes going the limit and a dude behind him kept honking tailgating you name it to speed up for about 15 minutes. Finally the road forks for a turn of and the guy behind him guns it to pass in front of the professor then dissappears as he goes barreling down the road. About a minute or so later the professor see the car stopped in the middle of the road blocking it completely, and the guy driving it standing behind it with a 2x4.

Professor exits the car holding his gun which the other guy clearly wasnt expecting which causes him to sort of freeze while holding the 2x4. This lasts an uncomfortable minute before the guy got into his car and roared off again. To this day the professor gets shaky around aggressive drivers because of that experience and the feeling that he was about to kill a man for going the legal limit.
