This might have gotten posted because it's the quintessential "am I being paranoid, reddit?"
I [26 M] discovered a raunchy text between my girlfriend [27 F] of 6 years and some guy I've never heard of. Am I being paranoid?

quote:

I opened Facebook on my girlfriend's laptop today to see a message from someone I've never heard of/met before mentioning him "fantasizing about us playing again". Her response to the mesage before that (and lack of response on Facebook) make me feel very weird and it seems to me like this conversation heavily implies she is sleeping with this guy. Please check it out and let me know if this seems like paranoia (edit, apparently I can't link to an image in /r/relationships at all. The conversation went:
Her: "How was your fourth?"
Him: "It was pretty good, uneventful...it's too bad we didn't hang out so we could 'make some fireworks' :P haha. How about yours?"
Her: "Haha I know, that would have been fun! One of these days we need to get together :) it was pretty chill, went down to [local park]"
Him: "Yeah it would have! Yeah we do, we need to soon. I keep fantasizing about us playing again :P"
I've had suspicions that she's cheated on me in the past and have discovered messages between her and someone else in the past that were borderline, and we almost broke up over those (the text mentioned them getting together and drinking in a hot tub recently, and I had no idea who the guy was) but I let her have the benefit of the doubt and moved past it. Now my heart's racing from the prospect that she's potentially been seeing multiple people without my knowledge or consent while we have been dating.
tl;dr: Am I paranoid, or does this conversation strongly suggest my monogamous girlfriend of almost 7 years is sleeping with another guy?

Oh oh Pick I found one for you!

Me [34M] with my fiancee [27F] 5ish years, how do I cancel our wedding without losing her?

quote:

Throwaway cus she knows my normal Reddit un.

I proposed to my girl last summer after 4 years of dating. The wedding's in September. And I'm starting to freak the gently caress out. At first I thought it was a really good idea and just the natural progression of things, I wanted to be with her for life and I wanted a family and all that one day, but I don't know anymore. And I regret proposing.

What am I even doing? I moved to this town because I wanted to go back to school, I was 28 then, now I'm loving 34 and the whole time I've known this girl I've been in school - and the life I live when going to school is completely different from how I normally live. I haven't had time to focus on anything else, my social life has been stagnant other than my girl and 1 or 2 friends here or there, and normally I'm very social so being here has been driving me crazy. After I get my Master's I have no loving clue where I'm gonna go, and it's even worse because she graduated last year and the only reason she's hanging around here is because she wants to be with me.

And what's worse is that she had doubts early on, but I talked her out of them and reassured her that I really did want to get married and things would be fine. And that was true at the time. Now she's got this huge rear end wedding planned and people are involved. There's all this poo poo going into it. And I don't even know what I'm doing anymore.

I talked to her about all of this last night. She asked me flat-out if I still want to get married, and I said I didn't know (because I don't want her to break up with me). I want us to stay together, just not get married, you know? I don't even want to think about how horrible it would be if we ended it. Our lives are completely consolidated now. We've pretty much merged all of our belongings and her dogs are basically mine too now. I've spent the last 3 Christmases at her parents' and they treat me like family, which is something my own family never did. She supports me financially while I go to school and even though she can be really difficult to deal with sometimes she makes me feel wanted and loved. I don't want to lose that.

She told me that I have to make a decision one way or another and the longer I wait the worse it's going to be. She also said a broken engagement is better than a broken marriage but also if I didn't want to get married, it brought up some other questions, like for instance, what's going to happen now? If we aren't going to commit to marriage we probably aren't going to commit to children, right? What about buying a house or any of that stuff? I told her that I'd like all that other stuff, and I wanted a family, but I don't even know what that really looks like. She just said that I should think seriously about it.

I don't want to lose her. But I'm pretty sure I don't want to get married anymore. Advice?

────────

TL;DR: I want to call off the wedding but I don't want to lose everything. Help.


- when they started dating she was 22
- over five years of school since they started dating while he was already going
- she literally supported him through it
- wedding already planned and probably at least half paid for
- willing to buy a house and have kids, not to get married
- wants to 'enjoy his social life' now that he's out of school, not accounting for the fact he's 34 now
- he's the one who proposed
- wants her to KEEP BEING WITH HIM DESPITE CALLING OFF THE WEDDING

What does this dipshit even want? He's complaining about commitment and his social life being over, but also that he wants to stick with her and basically have all the trappings of marriage without the legal one.

I'm betting he's actually having second thoughts about staying with her in the first place, or wants to cheat and only have a girlfriend to lose instead of a marriage to nullify if/when he gets caught.

It's amazing how many of these guys would be absolutely fine if they didn't just voice every insecurity that comes to their mind.

Like, all he had to do was suck up the fact that he has cold feet then they'd be married and he'd be totally fine with it. Instead he probably torpedo'd the whole thing. What a fool.

If he'd told her he was nervous about the wedding they could have talked about it like adults, but Our Hero lacks that capacity and went from zero to LET'S CANCEL THE WEDDING.

Obviously before anyone jumps in: he doesn't 'owe her' marriage because of their years together and her investment into the relationship, but he does owe her the respect of breaking it off cleanly instead of this wishy washy 'until I find a better girlfriend more in keeping with my vision of myself as still 21'.

Me [28 M] with my girlfriend [19 F] 4 months, kicks me out of her house to sleep over with her gay male friend and others

I am not sure if I am being insecure and stupid and I'm just looking for perspective and general comments. I started dating a girl 4 months ago who is ten years younger than me. We sleep together almost every night back and forth between our two respective houses. We usually spend most nights together.
Lately she has been having me over after work and inviting one of her gay male friends over who then stays the night. When he does shes tells me that I cant stay and that shes going to spend the night sleeping in bed with him and there is no room for me. She says all girls have people sleep over in their bed and its just normal. She has also kicked me out and had a girl friend sleep over. I get a little hurt no matter what the sex of the friend staying is because I basically get displaced and kicked out of my girlfriends house by them and go home to sleep alone.
I don't really understand how to think or feel about this in a rational way. I do not think she is lying to me about her intentions, and I don't think her gay friend and her are sexual together but it does feel strange. I tried to discuss this with her but she thought I was being ridiculous for even being offended.

I [26 M] met a [17 F] girl on tinder and we like each other a lot...

quote:

We've been on several dates and have had sex and everythihng, which is legal here with the age of consent being 17.

She's in high school. I have a job, apartment and am in school finishing my bachelors degree this summer.

I really like her. She makes me feel very comfortable and I enjoy talking with her about anything and everything. We have great conversations on the phone and when we're together there is never dull moment! I've never been this comfortable with anyone I've ever met before.

26/2+7 > 17 so, is this gonna get very weird? Because I want to keep dating her as long as she feels the same way about me.

I know she is going to grow and change, but so will I. Why can't we grow together, as long as it is good for both of us?

Is it wrong to give it a try? I like her a lot for the person she is right now, and she seems to like me.

TL;DR; : I'm 26 and want to date a 17 year old.

Yea for sure, she's in a completely different stage of her life. But who said people have to be in the same stage to date?
Different = Wrong??

I'm close to 26. 17 year olds are just so far away from our age. If I met a guy my age dating a 17 year old...no girl I know would ever date him because they'd be so creeped out by him.

It's working now because you're in the honeymoon phase. It's all kissing and loving and sex. What about the long term? You're at a serious disadvantage in terms of life stages and such (you're past the average college age and she's *still in high school*). You'll have to resume your adult life eventually and that's going to be impossible dating someone who's not even old enough to drink, let alone be in an adult relationship, which requires a lot more than high school romances.

You need to find someone your own age.

UPDATE: My [29 M] short-term temporary roommate [31F] is pooping on my kitchen spoon.Updates
submitted 2 years ago * by gotjerms
Short Update: After consulting many friends and the likes of the comments from the post, we decided it was best to not bring up the "missing spoon" to her. She did leave the day my other roommate came back from vacation and nothing was discussed with her before, during, or after. Lets just say I was very busy that week and didn't see much of her because every time I did see her it felt pretty awkward.
Now to make things even more outrageous and baffling, some new interesting discoveries did arise once she left (I don't believe anyone is going to believe this, but I promise it is true):
I am connected to her through a certain social network and approx 3 days after she left, she posted a picture. This picture had a subtitle that read "this is my first diaper. When I was young we couldn't afford real ones, only cloth, so tonight I pee in the diaper" The picture was a picture of her wearing a toddlers Elmo print diaper!
It doesn't stop there... a couple days later she posts another picture, this time its a selfie of her wearing aviator sunglasses while she is sitting on the toilet. The subtitle read "I poo poo in style".
Nevertheless, I am now more confused about her than I was before. It became pretty clear that it was a constipation thing at first, but now I am starting to think it may have some kind of skat thing involved too!
In any case, she no longer lives with me and we do not communicate very much. No harm no foul (except for defiling my silverware). At least I now have a very entertaining and disturbing story to retell. Thank you to all of you who helped with your thoughts and advice!
http://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/2a2yfx/my_29_m_shortterm_temporary_roommate_31f_is/
