just joshin around with the boys, y'know, as you do

I [19 F] found out that my boyfriend [20 M] of four years has been searching for porn of his ex.

quote:

I wouldn't typically post here, but this isn't really something I can ask my friends or mom about. Throwaway for obvious reasons.

As a bit of background, my boyfriend and I have known each other for 5 years, been together for 4. He was with his ex for 2 years before we started dating. She's always been a point of insecurity for me because he continued talking to her and giving her rides for ~10 months into our relationship, as well as self-confidence issues. Last year, he joined the military and moved a thousand or so miles away. We haven't seen each other much but have talked every day and stayed close to one another.

Over this past weekend, I visited him at his base. We were on our way to visit a big mall, so he had me google the name of it. It started with "Park," so I typed in the letter P on his phone's browser. The history and bookmarks starting with P came up. Lots of porn sites, but that's something that I know about and don't mind. There was a lot of his usual interests and whatnot. At the top of that list, however, was a search for "Firstname Lastname porn," that name being his ex's. That's where things got sticky.

I asked him, "Why the gently caress is there a search for Firstname Lastname porn on your phone?" He responded about 10 seconds later, saying "I don't know why that's on there." He claims that a joke in his workplace, a fire station, is to search for weird porn when someone leaves their phone on their desk during a call. He says that the only way that it would've gotten on there would be through a prank. He claimed that the guys at the station had done the same prank to him with gay porn before. I don't believe this because it wasn't in the history, his phone has a password, and he NEVER leaves it just sitting out.

After this happened, we still went to the mall and he was extremely affectionate and trying to buy me a lot of stuff that I liked. Both of these things are unusual. He also said that "I guess we still have trust issues since you don't believe that it wasn't me." I'm back home now, and every time I mention that I'm bummed about that search, he asks if I want him to leave me alone or just responds with a frowny face.

I guess what I'm asking for here is how to approach this. Will he tell the truth if I ask him a certain way? I'm 99.99% sure that the search wasn't done by his coworkers.

What do I do? Where do I go from here?

The parent involved seems to be reacting in a way more in tune with "inappropriate joke" than "underage grooming". I'm sure the kids involved have admitted to sending their own pic at this point, or the dude would be getting arrested.

This was absolute career suicide. We had a derail over this a couple hundred pages ago or something but teachers need to always be careful about what they do that could potentially look bad to parents.

"I want his job or I'm going to the police" is not how most parents respond to inappropriate jokes.

sending nudes to your minor students is way past "inappropriate joke", besides.

which is why it's pretty suspicious for a teacher to be snapchatting - the social media network basically designed to send nude photographs - with a minor

why you would have any social media contact at all with your students is beyond me (oh i gave someone a D in math and they went through all my photos and printed them out with dicks drawn on the faces) but snapchat, christ

Yeah, if I was ever a teacher I would NOT add students on any sort of social media, that's like adding co-workers/your boss, except worse, you're just asking for trouble.

Also, make sure to work at a catholic school because if you gently caress up like this they will cover it up and you will not be fired, but instead leave under amicable terms, and be given a recommendation to your next job.

Source: I went to a very prominent catholic high school, a math teacher had sex with AT LEAST 2 students, everyone knew it, and when it was found out, the exact thing I stated above happened.

I've [24F] been applying for jobs. My "friend" [26F] snuck into my computer and added "gently caress you" into my cover letters. I've been unemployed for months because of this. Is there anything I can do about it? Non-Romantic

quote:

After college graduation, I got a job at a start-up in the tech industry. Unfortunately as you may know, many start-ups fail. After about 1.5 years working there, I was out of a job. My closest friend at that job was Beth.

Beth and I decided we were going to make a team effort at finding new jobs, since we knew we were going to be applying at the same jobs anyway. We have very similar experiences and backgrounds.

She and I were incredibly diligent with our job search. I can't stress this enough. I had written six unique cover letters and resumes that served as templates--they highlighted my experiences in ways that catered to the jobs I was applying. Each template had a label and a description. When I applied for a job, I would read the description, match that to whichever template was the most suited, and applied, etc.

Beth did the same thing with hers. We also were incredibly diligent at editing each others resume/cover letters for spelling errors. I know that I read mine over and over and over again, since we all know grammar mistakes are the quickest way to get your job application sent to the trash.

So, here's what happened. It has been six months. I've been incredibly unsuccessful at landing a job, while Beth got one almost immediately. Even though I was unemployed, Beth helped me all the time, reading over my letters, sending out recommendations on my behalf, everything.
Well, guess what? Beth sabotaged me. In my cover letters, she snuck in a "you're not really reading this, gently caress you" just smack dab in the middle of my letter. This was AFTER I had poured over every detail for spelling errors. Since I discovered this, I tried to confront her about it, and she has been avoiding me ever since.

Is there anything I can do? I have literally applied for HUNDREDS of positions, and I'm worried that I'm just permanently blacklisted. I'm so angry and so hurt.

tl;dr My friend, who was supposed to be helping me get a job, sabotaged me intentionally by sneaking in "you're not really reading this, gently caress you". I haven't heard back from a single place because of this. What do I do?

:cripes:

If you're not paying the person to do your resume, do it yourself. All of it. Don't outsource editing and spellchecking to your friends. Just assuming they're too nice to gently caress you over is incredibly foolish.

Also, "I'm using a template to make this" means that you should read the whole loving resume every time you make a new one off the template because you're also assuming that the computer's not going to gently caress up and that's also incredibly foolish.

Me [30F] with my BF[28 M/F] of 2 years... should I worry about his math-addiction and possible mania? Personal issues

quote:

5 points 12 comments submitted 5 months ago by zeenalavey to r/relationships

(EDIT: No I haven't misspelled meth - I mean MATH as in counting / doing equations!!)

Ok, so my BF is a sweet guy. Smart, ambitious, handsome, caring and only has eyes for me. But he's also quite an introvert and has what some people would call a darker side. He used to drink A LOT when he was younger - I mean black out drunk for weeks in a row. With that came occasional drug use.

The last ~4 years though, he's really changed. He now only drinks socially 1 or 2 nights a week, and very rarely more than 4 drinks per night. When we started dating both of us were depressed - but now with the right medication and therapy we both feel better. And in his case - a little too good... ?

We both have qualified jobs in our field - and of course, a lot to do during the weeks. Before he started his medication (Zoloft) he used to stay in bed, read books or watch movies during the week nights. He usually complained of feeling tired, having had a rough day at work and so on.

Now - not so much. When he comes home, he's usually in a great mood. Singing, playing around, cleaning the apartment, going to the gym, asking me about my day. He's also taken an interest in math. He's reading through math books as if they were newspapers. He does math in the morning, during his lunch break, after work and in the evening. He's told me that the days we spend apart, he usually just sits and does math all day and night, forgetting to eat and do other household things.

I think it's great he's taken up an interest like this, but its starting to worry me. I know he has an addictive personality, and now its almost as is math has become a drug of some sort. I also know he's really stressed at work, and i feel as if he never takes time to relax now when he's doing math all the time. During my lunch breaks or when I get off work, I usually meet friends, read stuff or do something non work related to relax. He never sees his friends any more, and when I ask him why, he usually replies "I don't have time for friends".

When I ask him him how he's doing, he says "I've never felt better in my life", "I have so much energy now, it feels as if i can accomplish anything" "I want to learn everything in the world". I don't know if this is due to him having been depressed since he was a teenager, and now feeling good for the first time in +10 years - of if he might be heading into a mania due to his pills. I've told him he should go to his psychiatrist for a check up, but he says he doesn't feel like it.

I love that he's feeling better and has more energy. But the fact that he's feel he doesn't have time to see his friends scares me...

Should I worry about this?

tl;dr I think my BF might be addicted to doing math.

"No babe, everything is fine, everything is fine!" He says, his head lightly moving to the rhythm only he can hear.

I don't think there is any issue whatsoever with adults taking nude photos of themselves as long as they secure their phone. People get horny and want to send nudes to their partner and smartphones make that so easy. What's hard to understand? Using a cheap digital camera to take disposable pictures to horn up their boyfriend is hilariously dumb. No one is going to do that ever. Lol.

I'm not talking about interacting with students. That's the point of keeping it anonymous with a fake name and no profile picture or whatever. It keeps students from searching your name and immediately finding you on snapchat. More or less I don't think you should have snapchat at all in that profession but there are people who do because they want to follow certain popular accounts that use it.

yeah personal/professional social media account security is something a lot of white collar professionals just profoundly don't grasp. as an ESL tutor I keep a professional account where I put stuff that might be of use to the learners who follow me, because i am a firm believer in that every opportunity is a learning opportunity. put the material where the student interest is, and the learning does itself.

my wife however is a breeder of rare beetles so her personal/private life is more blended together, she uses twittler to find other beetle breeders to swap bugs with. occasionally she also shows me pictures of dogs she approves of.

Snapchat has settings where you can lock your profile down so no one can find you even if they search your name. Most social media allows you to do this, just a ton of people don't bother to set it up.
