I Was The Fury
Oct 19, 2012

Always stop to smell the flowers, just in case they're weeds

My [20F] roommate [20F] slept with [20M]. My boyfriend thinks it's weird because she's Korean.

quote:

My friend Wendy is Korean but was born in Australia. We got to Uni together and we've rented an apartment. Wendy has always been someone who catches the eye of men. She had a really bad boyfriend 2 years ago who gave her a black eye. She did not date since then. She met Jordan (he's white) and she really took to him. She likes muscular guys and he's really nice. He's to nice sometimes in my opinion. He goes to Uni with us as well.

Wendy has liked him for a while and she had been looking for a boyfriend. We were watching a horror movie last night and she was sitting right against Jordan who I invited over as a favour to her. She asked him to come to her room because she did not want to sleep alone. This morning she came out to the kitchen with him. Kissed him and said she can't wait for the date tonight. They're out right now as a matter of fact. My boyfriend is having trouble understanding why she's not dating a guy of her 'own race' and is being a douche about it.

tl;dr: How do I stop my boyfriend from being a douche?

Luckily in the comments she says she's rethinking the relationship

BIG KOOL TELLIN' Y'ALL TO KEEP IT TIGHT

Demon Of The Fall posted:

I dated a girl who would actually reach over and honk my horn for me when I was in the car if someone did something stupid and I didn't honk fast enough or if I decided it wasn't a big deal that required me to honk at them. I told her repeatedly not to touch the horn and she kept doing it. Who raises their kids to do that?

Years ago I had a friend grab my arm and pull it from the wheel while I was driving downtown looking for a place to park. Wasn't the first time and he almost caused me to hit a couple parked cars, so he got to take a cab home and not ride with me again.

WoodrowSkillson posted:

I hope therapy works for these two, i do not think they are bad people.

Normally I'd be right with you, but considering how long this has gone on, I have my doubts :smith:

quote:

We've been married for 5 years, together for 19 in total.

For as long as I can remember, right from back when we were in high school, my wife has been paranoid about me leaving her for someone else. I ended up distancing myself from female friends because they made her uncomfy; the same thing happened in college and in later life, too

2004 was really bad, looking back at my journal, and there were a few times where she was slightly physically violent - shoving me and slapping me, that kind of thing - during arguments.

Around 3 years ago it reached its absolute worst point, with her breaking into my email, reading my journal, and talking about driving round to my therapist's offices whilst I was in a session to ensure that I wasn't having an affair (my therapist at the time was a woman). It got so bad that I moved out for 3 months, and we went through two rounds of marriage counselling, which I thought got us back on track.

Now, though, it's getting worse again. Every day for the last month, something has come up - some question about my fidelity, or an assertion that I don't really love her, or an argument over whether I looked too long at a woman in the street (I don't do that sort of thing and never have, though my wife will spend an uncomfortably long amount of time ogling good looking guys).

There should be a rule against perpetuating circular arguments in this thread for more than a page, or you're obliged to post content if you really need to get in the last word. Any advice or opinions generated are even more loving useless than the reddit ones because the OP isn't here to listen/clarify

Sometimes after days and days of the same tedium, a topic comes up that sparks discussion. People are interested and they air out their viewpoints.

A bunch of posters then come in and talk about all this brutal discussion and word posting and how they're loving GLAD that's finally done with. What the gently caress bro is reading poo poo on the internet so draining that you are hosed up over it?

This is really stupid AA cult poo poo.

It is. When I went into substance abuse treatment, I made the decision that I didn't want to make "recovering/non-drinking alcoholic/I have a disease I can only live with/whatever," bullshit that is one of the core tenets of AA. I just wanted to dig out of the hole I was in, get sober long enough that I felt responsible driving again without the risk of driving drunk and get my other issues in better check. Six years of sobriety did me pretty good.

I didn't just will myself sober. I went to group and personal therapy and took Naltrexone for a couple of years (which slowly killed my cravings and the extreme rush of endorphins I got from even just holding or smelling alcohol). Why would I want to keep dragging around a woe-is-me label and hand-wringing all of the time about how I can't trust myself, yadda yadda?

Yeah, I'm an alcoholic, just like there's no such thing as an ex-marine. If I find myself falling back into substance abuse or dangerous behavior, I'm not waiting for my life to blow up, I'll get help. Right now I can have one or two drinks (literal count) and not want any more, which strikes me as odd every time. If it ever stops feeling weird, maybe it'll be time to reassess. Current monthly consumption is 0-8 drinks, depending on how many times I hang out downtown with friends or go to see local bands.

Self-flagellation feels right to a lot of people, though. Searching for absolution.

My [F22] girlfriend [28] doesn't listen to me when I tell her not to pop my zits or to at least ask first, which I see as an issue of consent which triggers me.

Yeah, I know. It's zits. But hear me out.

This happened almost every day:

Can I pop this? No. Please. It's just this one here that really bothers me. I said no. she touches my face I'm just looking (Then I feel her nails) HEY Look it's already gone

Use your gift wisely Elsa.

To add a movie analogy. It's like in Kung Fu Hustle where the protagonist needs to get a vicious pounding to free up his chakra to become a Kung Fu Master.

Only that with Elsa everyone was making GBS threads on him in the thread beforehand.
