Man, I dunno how things are in 2017, but when I was a kid in school, it would have been super easy to get a teacher fired for having child porn in their personal drive. If he's really a computer guy he can do that if wants to "take it to court".

quote:

I understand that I was being a dick to the teacher. Frankly, this teacher was a loving moron who acted like she knew everything, and wanted to control everyone. I am not nice to people who are not nice to me. And this teacher is the opposite of nice.

Now, as for the vice principal... He is one of the very, very few people I have genuine HATRED for. Trust me when I say, he does not have my best interest at heart. I will get to that in a second. The point I was trying to make was that he suspended me for something that didn't warrant suspension, and then lied about it. On top of that, he left everyone powerless. I already don't have any power in this situation, then he leaves my grandmother with no power either. She can't just say "hey, I didn't ask for my child to be taken out of school" when my attendance record says she did! Back to why I HATE him. He has suspended me for some of the most ridiculous poo poo. One time I was asked to write a non linear equation on the whiteboard, so I wrote y=x^4^2^0. He suspended me for a week for this. Another time, I flipped a staff member off, and got suspended for 5 days. Now, I have no problem with this. What I have a problem with is that just a week earlier, a boy tried to STRANGLE SOMEONE WITH A loving PAIR OF JEANS, and got a THREE DAY SUSPENSION! The most recent incident is when I told some jokes they didn't like, so he decided to give me a 55 DAY SUSPENSION! Can you see why I have a problem with the school now?

Should have dropped him when he demanded to split the housing costs 50-50 when he earns a lot more than her. She can't save any money for emergencies while he can.

Being a dick about her dead father is territory.

Maybe her uncle can float her a short term loan to make the funeral.

Want to hear a joke so off color it warranted a 55 day suspension.

I do teach myself things on my own time. This is part of the reason I am so bored in class all the time. Unfortunately, I live in a town of 30,000 people and have no money, so learning to do stained glass, solder, weld, or pretty much any skill that involves equipment that costs more than $300 and/or takes up more than 5 sqft of floor space is out of the picture. So for now, I will stick to learning math and "theoretical engineering," if you will. Fortunately, I do know some very intelligent people (like my grandfather, who is a metallurgist, and my great uncle Burt Rutan, who was the first to fly all the way around the world without refueling), so I can talk to them when I visit.

Sorry about my typing. For now, I'm stuck with a $30 phone to type on, so yeah...

I'm already friends with a few teachers, I'm just a dick to bad teachers.

As for sports and music... If I'm going to make music, I will make my own, not perform someone else's. The only "sports" I'm good at are walking and biking. My bike is broken right now, and the kid gangs that rule my town make it impossible to walk more than a mile without getting harassed by someone.

I do appreciate your advise though. Thank you.

I've been living with this guy for a little more than a year. We're both sort of struggling artists I guess and to make rent cheaper, a mutual friend hooked us up. Since then I thought we became a thing, because we started sharing the bed, and he'd hold me or kiss me.
I was wrong. A few weeks ago he introduced me to his boyfriend. Apparently they've been together for a month, and he didn't seem to think it was a big deal letting us meet... I asked him about it after a while and told him that I was confused because I thought we had something going on, and he was shocked. He said that because I told him I was aromantic and asexual a long time ago (maybe a month after we moved in together) that he thought I just saw all of that as sort of a comfort thing instead of something like a relationship. None of that meant anything to him, I guess...

His boyfriend hasn't come by our place as much since, but I still feel so jealous when I see him around and stupid for thinking we were together. I probably believed that for like 6 months... he could have been sleeping with or dating anyone while I was at home thinking he liked me. To make it worse I can't even afford to leave.

I'm just really upset and don't know how to handle my feelings. Thanks to anyone who answers this post. ):

TL;DR: I thought I was dating my roommate, but he brought home his boyfriend. I'm still stuck living with him but jealous and hurt because of this. Need advice on how to handle this.

quote:

I guess I felt weird demanding a title... or I figured since he's the more dominant one out of both of us that he'd tell me. But since he didn't I thought it just went without saying. I would've never done that if I didn't think it meant something. ):
We're not flirting (if it even counted as that) anymore, no. I tried looking for another roommate but no one knows anyone that's looking right now, and I feel nervous about picking someone off Craigslist or something..

Also the asexual aspect I could maybe vaguely understand the confusion but doesn't aromantic mean specifically that you don't actually get romantically attracted to people, as in, you've defined yourself as a person who doesn't want a relationship?

quote:

I think I am asexual, just not sure about aromantic anymore... either way I told him that I thought I was a long time ago and I guess I thought he wouldn't do that if he didn't see something romantic in it

I'm aromantic and asexual.

*is actually just normalish*

What the heck is with people and their dumb labels. There are asexual people out there. It must be annoying as hell having a bunch of idiots call themselves asexual.

quote:

Hey /r/relationships! I could really use your help. I'm using a throwaway for obvious reasons.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years now. The relationship has been nothing but wonderful, but there's this one thing that has been kinda weird to me. He really has no friends. Like not a single one.

When I carefully asked him about it, he just said 'Oh, I don't do friendships. I don't see the point. I barely have time for you, I work a lot and you and my family are all I need'.

He's right about barely having time for me. He's a surgeon and works 60-70 hours a week.

Isn't it odd though, that he doesn't long for friendship with people? He's very sociable, all of my friends love him, he's funny, he gets along great with his family, but everything he does, he does alone. He goes out to eat alone, he goes to the movies by himself, he works out alone.

I asked his family about it and they just told me 'Yeah, thats just him, he's kind of a lone wolf haha'.

I don't know if that makes him an introvert, because, like I said, he is amazing with people. He's the life of the party every single time. He makes every waiter and cashier laugh and he's amazing with children and animals. He just says 'friendships are obligations. People will expect me to hang out with them, do stuff for them, and unload their problems on me. I don't want any of that, that's why I don't pursue friendships with anyone. This is how I choose to live my life.'

Fair enough, but isn't that odd? I'm not one to judge, but I couldn't imagine having no friends and doing everything by myself. He's amazing to me, he takes me out regularly and he's caring and loving, so I don't think people don't WANT to be friends with him.

We're thinking about getting married in 2 or 3 years and I've thought about who he is even going to invite. Who's gonna be his best man?

I know it sounds silly, but it's been bothering me a lot... for some reason. My friends all really like him, and he'll gladly come along, when I ask him to go to the bars with us, but he has never made an attempt to form a friendship with anyone, as far as I know.

TL;DR: My boyfriend has no friends. Doesn't want to make friends and says he's fine with it. What gives?

quote:

First of all:

Thanks for all the supportive messages and replies to my post from three days ago. I admit that I hadn't done any research on what being introverted entails before submitting my post. I admit that I was wrong, and that I realize that introverts can, indeed, be good with people and be the life of a party. Excuse my ignorance please; it's just something I had never dealt with before.

Now to the actual update:

Please don't crucify me, but I reached out to someone that knows him very well (they were childhood friends (I know that's contradictory to what I said about my boyfriend, but I don't know what else I should call this guy), and they went to college and med school together), I wanted to get someone else's perspective and got a lot more than I had hoped for.

Here's the gist of what he told me:

Apparently my boyfriend is a complete sociopath, has cheated on every girlfriend he has ever had (multiple times) and probably has cheated on me too. He poisoned his ex girlfriend's dog because he felt like she was not giving him enough attention, his parents rely on him for money (his mother can't work, and his dad works a low paying job), and he controls all their finances.

Now, all of these things could be lies, but how could I possibly know? As far as I know, this guy has no reason to lie about things like that, but what do I know?

I can't even 'investigate' any further, since I simply don't know any more people that have ever been close to him (he doesn't use any social networks). Said 'friend' has urged me to get out of the relationship ASAP, but I'm just shocked. He has been nothing short of amazing to me. I don't want any of these allegations to be true.

TL;DR: His old 'friend' told me that my boyfriend isn't the man that I know and that I should leave before he destroys my life.

EDIT: Okay, so I need to clear some things up. To the people who have said that this appears to be a creative writing exercise: I am way too lovely of a writer. English isn't my first language, and I don't work in a field where writing is of much importance.

Secondly: Where my boyfriend and I live, people are 'real', full-time working doctors at his age. No residency or anything like that.

I have also asked the guy that I have messaged about the ex girlfriend, and he has given me her name and Facebook profile. I have messaged her, but she has not yet responded.

Thanks for all the advice. I will update as soon as I know more.

EDIT 2: I have decided that I will confront my boyfriend tomorrow morning with what his 'friend' has said about him. He is at work right now, but he'll get home in a few hours. I'll post an update then.

(disturbing) UPDATE: My [28/F] smart, funny, charming boyfriend [30/M] has literally no friends.

There was a deleted third update, but the summary I can glean from the comments is "he beat the poo poo out of his ex for confronting him about cheating & said he'd kill her if she said anything about it. OP confronts him and he's pissed, then OP has the bright idea of going to his place alone and ???".
