quote:

I enjoy wearing women's clothing.

In the privacy of my own home I do it. But I've started wearing panties to work and out and about. I'm still attracted to women but I do fantasize about being an attractive woman and having sex with a guy. Well, multiple guys actually.

quote:

I'm a survivor of an abusive relationship and just want to write some of this poo poo down and get it off my chest. I'm part of a support group too, but it's difficult for me to admit this to friends and family because there's a thought in society that men can't be abused. And a lot of people look down on you if you're an abused man admitting it. Hell, I still have a hard time admitting it.

We started dating about 5 years ago. She was finishing college, I was 2 years graduated. Everything was good to start off. Then she graduated and had a hard time finding a job. So she'd get irritated and angry. Little snipes at me to start, insults I brushed off since I knew she was frustrated.

To try and cheer her up a bit I snuck off work early and brought home a pizza from her favorite place. She smashed the pizza out of my hands and said "It must be real loving nice to just take off work, huh?". She apologized later but this was the start of the really bad stuff.

She finally got a job and things were okay for a bit. Then one day she was called in short notice and we had to cancel a planned weekend outing. No big deal, I thought, it was just a one day trip to go see a local attraction. We could reschedule. That night she blamed me for missing the trip, saying I forced her to get a job. She beat me with a belt until welts formed. Then she apologized and we had sex and I never told anyone because I felt like I deserved it.

She quit that job and started "working from home" as mystery shopper. I've noticed another confession had this same thing, so I think it must be an appealing job for psychopaths. She'd go to a store, report on some stuff, and send in the report to the corporate offices. She made piss poor money given the amount of work, but it gave her a chance to complain about people so she loved it. Her student loans came due and she didn't have enough income, so she begged me to pay them. I did, stupidly. For 6 months.

I finally got fed up and said she needed another job - we didn't have enough money. She put me through a closet door that day, then smashed a glass vase filled with flowers we kept on the dining room table. She apologized and we had sex and I thought I deserved it that time too. We never talked about getting a job again.

She caught me looking at porn on my phone (by looking through my phone while I slept) and "broke up" with me. Which meant she still lived with me, since she said she didn't have money to move out yet. But she started dating other guys while still leeching off me. I didn't see anything wrong - if I ever voiced me concern she'd clean the house or something, say I was a great guy, and that was that. Once I got close to kicking her out and she threw me down the stairs, then took me to the hospital. She lied and said I fell and that it's a good thing she was there to help me. And god help me, I started to believe that lie.

Finally, thanks to some friends, I got the balls to really kick her out. Cut off contact, got a protection from abuse order, and never saw her again. That was almost 3 years after meeting her and almost a year after "breaking up". Holy loving poo poo I was in bad.

I am in a healthy relationship now and finally getting over some of the issues I had. The first time my current girlfriend helped me clean the house I spent 20 minutes thanking her. She didn't understand why I was so grateful until I explained things.

I hope, if you are in an abusive relationship, reading this might motivate you to get help.

I don't see the problem with soon to be dead wife. Unless she had super obvious crazy beliefs before the cancer took over, she's probably just freaking out. Plus, I mean, she'll be dead. There's gently caress all she can do. She literally won't even know. Promise her you wont date, take care of her till she's gone, spend some time grieving and taking care of you/your emotions, then go out and smash some strange. She dies thinking you're a perfect husband, you get to be comfortable knowing you did as much as any reasonable person could do AND eventually get to play the dead wife sympathy card when its time to find a new girlfriend. Everybody wins.

that last part I didn't even think of.

quote:

My boyfriend really enjoys Dragonball and we have been marathoning it together. It's okay enough, but the problem is he is using it to ask a lot of bizarre hypothetical questions about our relationship. I should stress we have been dating for 4 months and have no kids together, or plans of kids or marriage or anything like that yet.

When Raditz first shows up and reveals he is Goku's brother, my boyfriend asked "What would you do if I had a brother show up out of nowhere? And what if he stole our son?" I laughed but he looked dead serious and asked me again. I came up with an answer and he didn't look really happy.

Then Piccolo steals Gohan and trains him, and again, another question. "What if I died and somebody took our son? Would you let it happen? What if it was for the greater good?".

Then when Piccolo dies - "Would you jump in front of a laser to save our son, if you knew for sure you would die?"

Frieza episodes were a nightmare. "What if our son went to space?" "Would you sacrifice yourself to keep the Dragonballs safe?" "If someone swapped bodies with you, what would you do?" "Could you get angry enough to go Super Saiyan if you had to?"

We are currently in the Cell episodes and that storyline introduces time travel. He's asking stuff like "What if you had a time machine, would you travel back in time to change the future?" I said yes if it was for a good reason and he got really angry. He said I "missed the whole point" of the story and turned off the TV. We didn't hang out for 2 days, then he apologized and said he was just feeling emotional because he felt bad for Trunks, and was angry I'd cause the same kind of issues that doomed his world. What the gently caress?

I am considering ending things but need to know if this is normal nerd behavior or not, I haven't dated anybody into anime before.

quote:

I might have killed someone years ago, and I'll never know for sure. I hate it, and I hate myself for being such a coward.

It happened a few weeks after a good friend of mine died in a car accident. It was a goddamn loving shame because she just kicked her heroin habit cold turkey a few months before. I visited her to bring food, water, and just check in on her for the week she just locked herself in to sweat/vomit/poo poo it all out. She was making a turnaround, cleaning up, going to make something of herself and finish college and then she just died in a car accident. At her funeral I found out how hosed up her childhood was talking to her cousins, with lovely parents, sexual abuse, and drug abuse. She was dragging herself out of that hole and was able to start being happy and it all just ended. At least she died clean.

I grieved by going on long walks to nowhere by myself late at night. Which is a pretty drat dumb thing to do when you live on the south side of Chicago. I should have gotten a clue about the places I was wandering through when people offered to sell me drugs (because of course, why else would a white college kid be wandering around at 3 a.m. in Bronzeville on a weeknight). Hell, I should have snapped out of it when I got robbed at gunpoint while going on these walks. But a few days after I got robbed I went back to wandering about late at night because I couldn't sleep and I couldn't stand being in my room/house. On one of these walks I was held up at knifepoint, and something snapped in me and I attacked him without thinking. I must have surprised the guy, because I knocked the guy down and then started to kick him on the ground and stomp on his face. When I stopped, he wasn't moving. He was lying there, just bleeding. I ran. I could have called an ambulance, could have called the cops, something, anything, but I just ran like a goddamn coward. I hate myself for it. He might have died, he might have not died if I did something, he might have lived, and I don't know. I don't know because I ran away.

It still fucks me up, even more than a decade later.

My child is literally the only thing in my life that brings me any sort of happiness. My brain is so riddled with ADHD/anxiety/depression (not diagnosed, so I'm just guessing) and I can't afford to talk to someone for any great length of time, unless two sessions can fix it or at least start to.

I do stupid things and forget important things because I'm absent minded, which causes my spouse stress, which causes them to lash out at me out of pent up anger and frustration, which in turn both angers me and also sends me spiraling down further into being depressed. I don't know how to break this cycle.

They tell me I don't care about our child or them or anything, and I want to be able to argue that, but despite the fact that I love my child to the ends of the earth, even I can see that my actions don't reflect that, so I end up not even being able to truly defend myself. How can I? Anyone can feel however they want but actions speak louder. Inaction is deafening, and I really just don't know how to make myself better. I would never hurt myself, my spouse, or my child, what ends up happening is that some major thing comes up, like registering my child for literally anything, and I freeze up and can't even process things well enough to take the initiative to take care of it. So, my spouse does, notes that they're once again handling something I should be able to take care of, and there's usually another one-sided argument, because I can't disagree with anything they're saying about me. I AM an idiot, I AM stupid, yes, I might as well be clinically mentally handicapped because it would all just happen the same, in their eyes.

My heart hurts so much right now and I just want to be happy with a normal life and a normal brain, and I want to be the parent my child needs, and the spouse that mine deserves, instead of some perpetual gently caress up.

Dude, ADD is a blessing.

You are surrounded by people who all think the same - slowly. You are always one step ahead, or, you think of poo poo normal people can't even begin to imagine.

Just learn to write the important poo poo down, and set aside a time block EACH DAY to get your tasks done.

If you have nothing to do that day, free time.

Don't let your to do list get bigger than 3 items.

Own your advantages and work to find solutions to your downfalls.

What helps me is to get away from normality;

Go camping - go for an overnight trip somewhere, get out of your comfort zone, and then when you return to your family you will have had plenty of time to think about your next course of action.

Jesus, being white and walking around Bronzeville at 3am is a pretty balls out move. Don't really have any advice for you, but you really have to kick the living gently caress out of someone to kill them so you probably just knocked him out. I've had a group of about 4 guys put the boots to me until I went unconscious and all I got was a couple broken ribs and a busted up nose and eye. I looked like death when I got home though. So yeah, most likely didn't kill the guy.

It was also self defense so you didn't do anything wrong.

Well done for getting out. Anyone who would look down on you for this poo poo is a child, either literally, developmentally or emotionally. Anyone who has had a meaningful relationship go south understands the mental gymnastics you can go through to try and preserve it. A friend of mine got abused by a woman he was seeing, he didn't get out early enough and it culminated in her throwing him into a wall and then beating him about the head with a full wine bottle. Luckily he didn't die, he just has problems with intense migraines that he'll probably live with for the rest of his life. No-one thought any less of him, in fact I gained a new respect for him with the candour in which he told us about it.

quote:

Several months ago I got out of a long term, on-and-off relationship with the woman who I believed to be the love of my life. In retrospect I realize that I was in a toxic, unhealthy relationship, but at the time I was devastated that I'd lost this person.

I promised myself that I wouldn't do what I usually do to cope, which is immediately get back into something with a new woman.

Instead, I soon met a beautiful, funny 19 year old woman. I'm 24, and I really don't like seeing women who are that young, but I was taken aback by how mature and grounded she was. Here's the part where you go "yeah sure" but I really ask you to suspend your disbelief that a 24 year old is himself mature and a good judge of character. She was intelligent, kind, shared many of my slightly goon-y interests, and seemed to genuinely like me for who I am. We seemed to really connect. It felt amazing after getting out of something with a person who had become so disinterested in everything about me but my credit cards.

Because it had been so soon since my ex, and since I had recognized mistakes in that and previous relationships, I resolved to do this one differently. I wanted to take things slow, not rush into feelings or physical intimacy, and so we never had sex. But as we became involved, I fell for her more and more. She felt the same, and I was really happy

Then she pulled quite a rug out from under me. She confessed: she wasn't 19 at all. She wasn't taking a gap year before going to college. The reason she didn't text me during the day wasn't because she was working or doing college prep. In reality, she was a 17 year old high school senior. "Eighteen in three months," she said to me like that made it so much better. She claimed she didn't expect it to go anywhere so she lied about her age in the moment, and then got trapped in it. But holy poo poo, suddenly I felt like the biggest loving creep in the entire world. How did I not realize this? How did I think a 17 year old was mature enough for me? Why was I even considering still talking to her, you disgusting pervert?

I told her I couldn't do it, that despite the fact it was legal in my state, it seemed wrong and unethical (and gross but I didn't say that). She said she was upset and disappointed, but understood, and that maybe she'd say hi when she was a legal adult. I think waiting out someone's legal childhood is extremely skeevy but I didn't say that either.

I can't even tell anyone. It's so embarrassing, it makes me look terrible. I tried telling a friend about the situation and they were disgusted with me. They said I was disgusting for falling for someone underage, even if I didn't know, and that I should have known. That I was "subconsciously a pedophile." I know that's not true, but I felt like scum, and felt even guiltier about it. I have so much shame about this

Still literally the most emotionally mature breakup I've ever had. Jesus christ

quote:

I have recently been dealing with some anger issues that seem to be flaring up more severely as time goes on. Last night I was doing my normal routine of playing Hearthstone while my live-in girlfriend was watching TV. I was in the middle of a game right on the edge of being promoted to Legendary and the guy emoted "thank you" at me a bunch on the turn he killed me. I could actually feel my head get hot (a regular occurrence, even in matches that I end up winning) and I threw my keyboard at the wall and started screaming at the computer.

My girlfriend found it funny and was laughing and next thing I know I was about to hit her. She ran into the bathroom and locked herself in and started crying. I feel pretty bad but to be fair laughing at someone who is pissed off will almost always just make them more mad. I always thought when people talked that they "saw red" it was just bullshit, but I do all the time because of this game. I wish I could direct my righteous anger at the rear end in a top hat opponent and throttle them instead of scaring the people I actually like.

Anger issues are a thing you can get help for fairly easily

Man that's a long time to go without any sort of treatment or diagnoses for an attention/learning disability. If you can't afford it you can't afford it, but one or two sessions might get you at least a diagnoses and a route to treatment or medication. One piece of advice though. If you're planning to get life insurance buy it before any sort of diagnoses/medication. They will ding you real good. Life insurance sees people with ADHD taking medication as one step above smokers.

It certainly sounds like ADD, but again I'm no internet doctor. I've been using medication for years which helps a lot but doesn't fix everything. I use a system of lists, phone alarms, email reminders and verbal reminders with my spouse to make sure I get things done, and I still forget a decent amount. Often if my spouse asks me to do something I'll repeat it out loud to her so that it kind of gets into my head, then often set an alarm for myself to do it. I deal with some anxiety with making phone calls and such because I'm afraid I'll lose track of information and forget the info I need so if that rears it's head I often write up my introduction and the key points I need answered. And sometimes the best tactic is to literally do something immediately. Have to remember to pay your rent/mortgage? Just go do it right then. My wife can get annoyed as anyone would, but my good faith efforts do alleviate some of her frustration over my forgetfulness. She knows it's not that I don't care.

I do have anxiety over forgetting stuff with my kid though, so I feel you.

Non-medication/non-therapy advice: Exercise. Preferably in the morning. Especially cardio but anything that's going to really wear you out. It definitely helps to focus me far longer than just "trying real hard."

You don't even need to do that anymore. Just buy enough card packs and copy some legendary deck off hearthpwn and it's hard not to stumble into legendary once you learn the basics of the deck.

The reason why it's not fun is because everyone that still plays the game does exactly that, so you'll only ever see a handful of different decks each season. That makes it boring and predicatable though, not infuriating. The only time I get mad at it is when people intentionally take the entire time limit for their turns just to be a dick, but that's "roll my eyes and alt-tab for a bit" annoying, not bash my loved ones' faces in annoying.

I never got into either of these games but I'm curious what makes them so infuriating. I know with MOBAs I've played having toxic teammates can really kill the enjoyment of the game.

heroes was great because I never played mobas and it promised quick 20 minute matches with cool blizzard characters. for a while it was exactly that, then the player base opened up and you got all sorts of retards in quick matches. a friend of mine also explained how the match making ratio works (worked?) and basically if you were too good a player I think it put you in bad teams on purpose. when you start losing game after game because your teammates do the opposite of what they're supposed to do with their characters it gets annoying fast. also in my experience the matches tended to become longer, 30-40 minutes struggles between two teams of spastics flailing aimlessly around the map.

hearthstone was great fun but yeah everybody ends up using copies of the same top decks from hearthpwn, you have to either play A LOT or buy a lot of packs to have a chance.
