She didn't start hurling the junkie insults until he started manhandling her, so I'm kind of assuming the whole situation was worse than he was letting on. :shrug:

My [32F] BF [33M] has declared no further education. Red flag?

u/lolwutdafuqbro

TL:DR Bf of 6+ years rejects the idea of additional schooling, declines a trade school unless he gets tired of his life. Unsure if new thing. Giant red flag?

BF- attended some college classes, didn't get far before dropping out so he has a HS diploma, that's it. He's brilliant, no known learning disabilities. I knew he'd dropped out within the first few months of the relationship, but he had a comfortable job so it didn't appear to be a problem. He no longer has that job due to a failed random drug test. He knew they did random drug tests but continued to smoke mj very heavily due to leg pain. We cannot survive financially unless he has a significant ($14+/hr) income. We've lived together for 4 years now.

Me- On my third (!) Associates, this time in hopefully something that I won't need to back out of, which is Cybersecurity. (I'm aware that a third one is probably not the greatest thing to have in the world. In my defense, I was very young and foolish when I first hosed up my life, and was in an abusive relationship but didn't know it yet. That's now over, but I burned a lot of bridges.) I'm very pro-trades, I think Mike Rowe has the right idea, I have zero expectation out of BF besides gainful, profitable employment. He doesn't need a college degree for that, my brother (31) is proof of that. (Industrial maintenance.)

This all came about as I was cooking meal prep for the week, I asked BF "have you given any additional thought to school?" We had discussed it about a month ago, he mentioned he'd been thinking about dabbling in computer sciences again. (What he was originally going to school for.) His answer was "I'm not doing school, I'm not going into debt for nothing. If I get tired of doing what I'm doing, I might think about a trade school." My reply was to point out that he's very eligible for a ton of free money (state funds and federal) but agree that the local electrician's union is a good idea as well, and I mentioned their starting pay. That's basically the conversation.

This is kind of new, except maybe it's not. He's never been a fan of furthering his education, he readily admits he dropped out of college because he hated it and didn't want to become a corporate drone. His level of ambition has always been pretty low, certainly lower than mine. He's not much of a house husband, doesn't clean or cook very well. Am I just really in denial and this is truly him, and everything else has been lip service from him? Is it time to plan an exit strategy or flat out hit the bricks?

I think this is a huge part of why "they cheated but I'm genuinely considering forgiving them" seem so common on the reddit subforums. Like I've been cheated on in a pretty minor way (then gf was at a party, drunk, and made out with a friend that had been chasing after her for a long time). She told me about it the next morning and was super honest/apologetic about it, I took a day to think about what I wanted to do and ended up calling things because after talking with friends about it I just decided I didn't want to be that dude who pathetically stuck around after infidelity. Like with the way she handled it I wasn't even so much worried about future slip ups or the trust being gone, I just honestly was concerned with how it'd reflect on me.

Kinda petty I guess but ultimately it was the right call. These people really could use friends to make them realize how pathetic they look to everyone else when they have so little self respect that they'd just continue a relationship after something like that.

e: I don't think it's worthwhile arguing over whether the stories are real or just meant to rile people up but I think that they weren't loving, it was specifcally a mmf threesome with strangers, her friends didn't think it was unusual she went off to bone two dudes, and much later when she realizes she has to come clean about what she did she starts suggesting it wasn't consensual all kinda tick a redpill bingo page of how they believe beta's date.

If she was too drunk to consent then she was raped, in which case leaving because of it is a horrible thing to do. On the other hand you would think the friends she was on vacation with would have been looking out for her if she was that drunk.

How does somebody end up with three associates degrees? Shouldn't they coalesce and form one larger degree, like three associate cells forming a bachelor multi-cell or something?

I don't really see that as petty, though - hanging onto self respect is super important. I wouldn't hang about either after reflection.

I say petty because it was mostly "but what will other people who know what happened think of me? Won't they look down on me", you could argue that's self respect or you could argue that self respect would be not caring what other people think so long as you believe you made the right decision. I think in my case it was mostly a reflection of how I'd view other people in my position, I'd probably think poorly of a person who stuck around in that context so I in essence was just sticking to my own standards.

That's one way to read it, but in my opinion not the only one. He may have manhandled her or may not have. Still a pretty lovely way to talk to someone if you care about thier continued recocery.

Betacuck dude needs to leave so his balls don't fall off, if it's real. Even if her story is true and 100% how it was conveyed in the story, why would anyone consider sticking around to raise someone else's kide and care for a potential rape survivor with whom they have not ever slept after 4 months and they went on a binge and either got too drunk to consent and had no sense that cheating on you was wrong or were sober enough and did it anyway.

Also if she is sober enough to walk off into the sunset into a MMF threesome without her friends who were watching her intervening she was probably not blackout drunk. Unless you think one or two drinks renders someone unable to consent. But really it is a redpill fantasy.

holy poo poo yes, if you get cheated on tell your loving friends! they will remind you that's bullshit, because their heads aren't stuffed with lovey dovey idiot hormones

i didn't tell anyone when my ex cheated on me because i thought i was taking the high road or some poo poo and guess what, it took 2 more times and also finally telling a friend for my gently caress stupid brain to realize that hey, maybe i should.......NOT forgive them???

I think between hiding it until nature itself made it so she couldn't lie anymore, her friends being blase about her going off to gently caress people when she's partying, and the "you don't deserve this, you deserve better" line it's pretty clear where the chips fall here which is why the whole consent thing shoehorned in at the end seemed like super obvious redpill bait. Either way it's a super dumb derail.

Me [27/F] with my boyfriend [28/M] of 1.5 years, can't take his anti-Semitic jokes anymore.

My boyfriend, Travis, always knows how to put a smile on anyone's face and is always the life of the party. That's why I wish he would stop making these occasional Jew jokes because they do get a lot of attention, because he is generally in the spotlight.

To be clear, Travis is half Jewish but the thing is, no one knows this. So while he thinks he's being self-deprecating, everyone else thinks he's some loudmouth making fun of Jews. Or worse, they think he's giving them permission to start making fun of Jews. It's awful, especially around new people who don't know him, and it always ends in me telling everyone to stop talking about Jews, and then changing the subject.

When I approach Travis about this, he says it's okay to say all this because he's a Jew. But the thing is, his surname is extremely not Jewish, he knows nothing about Judaism, can't tell you what the purpose of a single Jewish holiday, and in general, he just doesn't really represent Jews in any way. And I get it, not a lot of Jews are practicing, at least none of my friends are, but it's also not as if they talk about being a Jew only to make fun of it. Sometimes they'll talk about a Jewish tradition, or a memory of a bat mitzvah, or whatever, and occasionally, there's some poking fun at say, a "stereotypical Jewish grandmother."

But with Travis, if he's talking about Jews, it's only ever to make fun of them. And I just don't feel like he has the right to because he doesn't represent the culture in other ways. He's only Jewish when he wants to make fun of Jews.

All that said, he has expressed to me before that he's embarrassed of Jewish stereotypes and he's trying to deflect any joke someone can make to him by making it first. But this makes no sense to me because 1. no one knows he's Jewish, 2. no one around us makes Jew jokes (we live in one of the biggest cities in the world, with tons of Jews in it) and 3. even if they did, making these jokes really isn't a good solution.

I'm not sure how else to ask him to stop now because the few times I've done it, he uses the "I'm Jewish" defense. And I'm not Jewish, so it feels like my argument does not have as much weight.

tl;dr: BF is half-Jewish and makes too many anti-Jewish jokes, often to people who don't know he's Jewish/How do I tell him enough is enough?

There's subforums devoted to the idea that there are two kinds of dudes, alphas that smash all the fresh pus they want, and betas that are stable income providers who are lucky to get sad handies once a month. They also think women cheating and claiming it was rape is a common thing. Basically the whole story reads like a validation of their worldview and i'm sure is already being shared around their own subreddits.
