She said herself she's giving some of the animals what she refers to as 'substandard care'. Considering how common it is for OPs to sugar-coat poo poo, I can only assume that 'substandard' mean she's neglecting both them and herself to a criminal degree. The whole apartment probably smells like a bird died inside someone's stomach folds.

That's a fair concern I suppose, but eh, I guess I don't get throwing down ultimatums for problems I think might happen someday maybe.

He's such a "nice guy" that when he got rejected he went off on her and then made passive-aggressive posts on Facebook for all their common friends to see. It especially sucks that he basically said that she actually asked him to give up his religion for her, when her post makes it fairly clear that she pretty much didn't want to date that shithead, at all, regardless of what he believed.

she's adopted some horrible hell parrot that bites and screams and shits everywhere, making them both utterly miserable, and breaks down whenever she thinks of rehoming it because once she has touched an animal she is the only one who can properly give it love ever again. IDK why it took him four years to figure out what her damage was and whether he could live with it but this is the last exit before pissville.

You do not have to be good. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
The friends don't care about setting up a lonely dude who just wants a date. They are panic-raging at the idea that someone might actually not be interested in their religion.

The wording that guy used matters too: "This woman wants me to REJECT GOD!" In religious territory this carries much more context than just "This woman doesn't want to date a religious person." He's transformed her socially into a proselytizing atheist monster like the ones they've all heard about in Sunday School. They've been training to socially destroy her since they were four years old and left the church nursery.

Religious people are not your friends. They can make a passable impression of friendship, but the more involved they are in their religion, the more thoroughly they've been programmed to hate you as soon as you don't comply.

The reason that men make these unreasonable demands is so that women will leave them and not reveal that they (men) are gay. All men are gay, they're really worried about everyone finding out. But for some reason they've built up this entire structure that prevents them from admitting they all want to suck cock until they die. This is why they like women that look like twinks, because they're secretly hoping there's a cock in there that they can put in all their openings. Maybe more than one.

Im slowly realizing this as I get older, honestly. A super feminine dude who looks good in ladies's clothes would be worth a try. I already like tomboys, swole girls and androgynous waifs. I'm still not sold on the whole cock thing, but, eh.

Yeah, they have two lizards, a bird, and fish now. She used to bring an unspecified number of animals home from the pet store she worked at.

And in my limited experience with animal hoarders they are a mixture of lies and delusions about the state of their home and animals. One of her lizards is such an rear end in a top hat even other lizard people only want him to gently caress their lizards, and these are people who already voluntarily own lizards! That's a bad lizard. She also has a disabled lizard. Can you even imagine? Not to be an rear end in a top hat but there are some things you put an animal down for where you wouldn't a human, and a lizard who can't even enjoy the sole lizard pleasures of scurrying on rocks and pooping in his water bowl probably yearns for the release of death.

I don't care about her boyfriend, she has way bigger problems I'm glad she's working on now. I just hope when he leaves she doesn't backslide and replace him with like, fifty fish, five lizards, and a new bird for the hell bird to abuse.

I can't even remember the best piss I've ever had. They are all mind blowing. :staredog:

I remember the best piss of my life.
I had fractured my arm racing motocross when I was 14, doctor didn't feel like it was bad enough to put in a cast and just told me to go easy on it. I had tripped once and braced my fall with that arm, hurt really bad but still didn't go to the doctor to get it re-checked. Another thing happened I don't recall very well that hurt it more as well.
The straw that broke the camel's back, I got home from school and sprinted through the house because my bladder was so full my eyes were turning yellow. The bathroom was at the end of the hall and the door looked like it was almost all the way closed but partially ajar. So I ran into it with hurt arm outstretched to push it open, only to find it all the way closed. I broke my arm against the door, yelled in pain and opened it with the other arm. I stood there with my dick in my hand and my broken arm dangling there, more relieved by my piss than I was in pain from my arm.
The doctor was very upset with me.

Content so this post isn't just about my broken arm piss
My [31M] wife [30F] secretly recorded our arguments with her phone: should I feel violated?

quote:

My wife recorded our arguments about a month ago. She obviously knew the recording was being made, but I did not.
I feel as though my trust has been violated although she assures me that there is nothing wrong with this, because she was recording only for her purposes so that she could learn from them. In general we have a good relationship other than this.
I know that she has done this before with a previous boyfriend who had a problem with porn, so she recorded him (audio only) to find out whether or not he was masturbating-- she doesn't see anything wrong with this either. If I am not crazy, and this is not appropriate behavior, how do I convince her that she is at fault?
tl;dr My wife secretly recorded an argument and I feel a loss of trust in her.
EDIT: Apparently this community thinks that secretly recording your spouse is completely fine, especially if there is a serious fundamental problem (violence, gaslighting, hurtful phrases, yelling, etc). Our specific relationship does not involve these serious fundamental problems and so for us secret recordings are not necessary in the same way. I have discussed this wife my wife who agrees that if we decide to record arguments in the future, it is more honest that the recordings be consent-based. In fact, she was embarrassed that she didn't tell me about this first recording and wished she had to begin with.
Big shout out to all the folks who posted in this thread assuming I am a violent, spouse abusing husband -- appreciate your input and wildly unjustified conclusions.

He's not wrong, like all the top comments are accusing him of being abusive and that's why she recorded him.

who the gently caress cares this much about setting up their friends, how empty are their lives

If someone went through all that effort to poo poo all over me and badmouth me to all my friends just because I turned them down - no matter what the reason - I'd say I would feel pretty loving justified in my decision.

If her friends can't respect her decision to not date a petty vindictive creep then they're lovely friends and she's better off without them.

There was nothing wrong with Nixon recording himself, in fact that's why we were able to make a firm and just decision as a nation. Just because Nixon did something, doesn't make it wrong, and it certainly doesn't make you crazy. Nixon was many things, but crazy he was not. Frankly, the knee-jerk reaction to Nixon, and everything that Nixon did, just goes to show that people don't really understand with the Watergate scandal was about anymore.

I was really excited when I found that searching "Tricky Dick" gets a ton of r/relationships results, but it turns out it's just bad at phrase matching.

Do I [20s M] need to tell my half Vietnamese girlfriend [20s F] that my father was a Vietnam war veteran?

quote:

So she's not really my girlfriend yet but I've been seeing this girl for about a month and so far nothing is too serious. I do really like her though and I hope to take our relationship a step further soon. Before I do, do I need to tell her about my dad being in the Vietnam war? I personally am 100% against war and I feel disgusted to think about what my father was a part of. I'm torn. On one hand, I would like to just pretend it never happened and not tell her. My father has passed away (from complications of the war) in the last few years so there's no chance that they will ever meet and we don't talk about it much in my family. On the other, I think it's the right thing to do, though it may end or slow down our relationship. We never have talked in depth about our parents and I'm not sure if or when I should tell her?
