I'm ready, is there a media thread

quote:

My girlfriend and I have been together for almost a year and a half. We live in the same dorm building and I spend the night in her dorm about 3-4 times a week.

On Wednesday night I stayed with her and slept over because she had to go to work on Thanksgiving and I wanted to spend as much time with her as possible on the holiday. After she went to work, I decided to do something nice for her and help tidy up her dorm room. She is a decently clean person, but she has been so busy with work and finals that she hasn't had time to clean in a few weeks. She had a lot of dirty laundry and I tossed it all in the washer and then into the dryer.

I realized my mistake when I went to put her clothes away and all of her bras were messed up. Some of them had holes where I could see metal poking out and some of the lace had ripped. I didn't know what to do so I waited for her to come home and showed her my mistake.

She started crying and then said that she didn't have the money to pay for new clothes and that it was my fault for doing her laundry without her permission. I tried to tell her I was sorry, but she was upset and kept demanding that I give her the money to buy new bras with. She told me she needed $400 to replace the bras and I had to tell her that I didn't have that much (I only have $50 in the bank until I go back home for winter break). She then started crying even more because she wore a sports bra to work and that meant I had destroyed all of her non-sports bras.

She kicked me out of her room and hasn't answered any of my calls and texts today. I don't know what to do to fix this. Please help, any advice is welcome.

tl;dr: I tried to do a nice thing for my girlfriend by helping to clean her dorm while she went to work on Thanksgiving. I accidentally washed all of her bras and ruined them. She asked for $400 to buy some new ones but I only have $50 to last me for the next two weeks. She won't talk to me and I feel like dirt.

In his own post, he identified himself as a doctor and said he took charge of the scene. He directed people to call 911 and attended to the woman in a medical capacity. To me, that means that he assumed the role of first responder on scene until an official responder could arrive.

"I went over to help and took charge of the fairly small scene, which consisted of telling a bystander to call 911 and report in, after quickly checking on the woman."


He gave her commands to minimize her movement of her leg, he clearly felt it was a pressing enough concern to take action during the scene


What a loving lame point to make

Dr != First responder. If you don't know what a first responder is then I don't get why you're ranting about how dumb short posts are. At a scene of an accident, regardless of how well you think a person is, you do not allow them to move at all unless there is a threat that demands it. It would be negligent, full stop, to attempt a diagnosis.

Hi reddit,
last christmas I gave my girlfriend skyrim as a present. Since then she has been really obsessed with it and completed it with multiple characters. For a long time I thought that was really cute and spent the time she played playing myself. Today however it reached a new low and she explicitly preferred playing skyrim to having sex with me. How do I get her to get interested in me again? Is it normal to lose interest in sex over a computer game? I mean, we have been together for two years now and obviously sex may no longer be as interesting and exciting as in the beginning..
tl;dr: Girlfriend prefers playing skyrim over having sex with me. What do I do now?

She told me last week that she bought a hutch from the pet shop she lives next to. Yesterday a pet stroller was delivered to my house and I just got a text now saying that she's on her way.

She's expressed interest in taking them away from me before, and has lied to me in the past to try and get me to part with them by saying that my boyfriend hates them and wants me to give them away. I asked him about this and he was confused, saying that he loves my rabbits and I know he plays with then often when he's here.

They're house rabbits and not mistreated. The only vague issue they have caused is that they'd drag out some poop and litter when jumping in and out of their litter box, which I pretty much solved by getting them a bigger litter box with a decent rim and buying heavier litter. They don't eat wires or venture off too far from their litter area and they don't make a mess.

She keeps saying that it's for my own benefit, but I have depression and these rabbits really make me happy. I love taking care of them and seeing them as I walk around the house. They've made me reconsider suicide twice now just by wandering up to me at the right time.

They're gorgeous rabbits and amazingly friendly so she thinks that they love her the most, which means she should have them. Even if I was willing to part with them, I don't like how she treats them very much. One hates being picked up and is scared of heights and the other doesn't mind being held, but doesn't like being forced to stay on someone's lap. My sister keeps picking them up and carrying them around, and doesn't let them go when they start struggling.

I've told her multiple times that it isn't happening, but she won't let up. I don't know what to do. Only one of them is tagged right now.

How do I get her to stop trying to steal them from me?

update: I'm in hospital now and I'm terrified that she will take them while I'm here, but at least the police are aware and saw that they are clearly mine. When I told her how I felt about things and tried to get her to see why I was upset she said she'd kill herself if she didn't get the rabbits, and also threatened to tell the police that I was trying to stab her if I called them on her.

I have just changed medication a couple of weeks ago and started therapy recently for borderline/depression and so I've been pretty erratic and irrational right now. This surprise visit came at a really bad time for me. Particularly as I can be really suicidal when I'm unmedicated and new medication takes a month or two to start actually doing anything. I also haven't slept in two days which didn't help. I'm normally medicated and don't behave this way.

When she started laying into how I'm a such a miserable waste of time and resources, nothing but an attention seeker who has nothing wrong with her because mental illness and personality disorders are pseudoscience and not real, someone who can be nothing but a burden on everyone around her and how I deserve nothing in life for around an hour, I figured it's probably best for my family if I die and I hung myself. My dad stopped me from suffocating and called the EMS. When she saw me she said I was a loving stupid oval office and that I should have died.

I'm such an idiot. I'm sorry.

update 2: She took them while i was in hospital and I'm calling the police now.

update 3: I'm meeting with the police tomorrow and my mother's main carer said she'll vouch for me as she's been in our house everyday for the past year. My sister has told my dad that she is going to report me for attempted murder in retaliation. My dad was with us when we were arguing and saw that I did nothing to her and kept my distance, and the police were here after I attempted suicide and saw she was unharmed so I don't know what she expects to come of that.

tl;dr My sister keeps trying to get me to part with my rabbits, and now she's really getting bold about it and I'm scared of what she might do.

I'm studying Game Design because I want to be, well, a Game Designer. I've always been interested in games and usually got along well with male gamers (I never reveal myself as a woman in online gaming though because.. yeah you other women know why.)

Anyway, it's a course with structured classes, so we are about 20 people and only 3 are women. This might sound vain but out of these 3 I'm the most traditionally feminine and attractive and I think that's why I'm the one getting the abuse.

At first I got along well with everybody and everything seemed normal. I just got a few mildly sexist comments from one of the teachers but eh. But then two guys started giving me unrelated kinds of trouble.

The first one, Christian, suddenly started making inappropriate comments to me. For example he was talking about virginity for some reason (don't remember the context) and suddenly said 'so what about you, eh? I'd guess not.', basically indirectly asking me if I'm a virgin? I didn't expect that and basically didn't react to it. A while later he asked me if I do anal, like wtf. I just told him to gently caress off but I'm afraid I got very red and flustered just because it was so loving rude. Yet another time he said to me 'you are young, you're small and you're a woman. Out of all of us, you'd logically be the one who would get the least respect.' which is of course loving stupid and infuriating. I just said 'you're really loving arrogant, dude' and thought it was funny that he actually reacted genuinely surprised that anyone could think he might be arrogant.

The other guy, Patrick, is an all around weirdo; he's a bit of a class clown and can be pretty funny, but he's a creep with women. For example he constantly mentions the huge tits of one of our female teachers and tells everybody he's totally gonna gently caress her some day. He recently started doing this weird thing where, if he sees me walking ahead of him, he'll basically run towards me and jump on my back, and then refuse to let go. I've told him to loving stop it because it's annoying, and he said 'I know it annoys you, that's why I'm doing it.'

Clearly I need this to stop, but I don't know how. Disappointingly, other people have been present when this happened but just laughed or didn't react, nobody seems to find it wrong. I guess I could tell a teacher, but seeing as I'm 18 I don't know what they could do?

EDIT: I honestly forgot another incident, yet another male student once photoshopped a picture of me with a pedobear behind me (honestly thought that meme was dead) and put it on Facebook with the caption "Buttsex: the best surprise you didn't know you needed'. I was like wtf and told him to remove it but he didnt, and it was a private group only for us students so I let it go, but it was humiliating. One or two other people seemed to find it funny that I was upset and posted something like 'it's just a joke'.
tl;dr: Two male students are annoying the gently caress out of me, what do?

quote:

This is absolutely ridiculous, but this has been going on for years and I don't know if we're overreacting.
I've been dating my boyfriend for 4 years.
We live much closer to his family than to mine. My parents immigrated to the U.S. from Croatia.
I can't eat pork because it makes me incredibly sick.
Everytime we go to a holiday at his parents house, or just to visit, my bf's mom, let's call her V, insists on feeding me pork and pork-products! She knows I can't eat it, as I and BF mention it every single time she gives it to me to eat. She gets mad when I don't take the ham and cheese sandwich, or whatever it is, that she made me. I eat around the pork in the meals if I can, but sometimes it's not possible. She tries to guilt trip me about how she "worked so hard" to make me food and she's being "extremely accommodating" and blah blah blah. I would make or bring my own food but she won't allow me in the kitchen when we are there. It's particularly bad when we visit for holidays because there is bacon/ham/pork in most of the side-dishes they make (mashed potatoes with bacon or pork sausage, stuffed peppers with bacon, etc), and the main part of the meal is ham. I generally ended up eating mounds of steamed carrots because it was the only thing available. Each holiday BF reminds the family that I can not eat pork.
The breaking point was when we visited and on her way home from work V offered to pick everyone up some fast food. I asked for a burger. She returned with a Mcrib. This just really got my goat. I ate my bf's burger instead and he had the Mcrib. But then she started saying I was being ungrateful. BF told her to stop and they got into an argument over it. We ended up staying at a hotel instead of at the house and BF didn't talk to V the rest of the weekend. That night I told my BF that his mom was making me feel extremely stressed and I cried because I couldn't understand why she would purposely give me food that makes me sick.
Since then we haven't visited or done holidays. We were invited to come down for 4th of July but declined to attend. All of a sudden V started going around talking trash about how I'm so thin because I never eat and how I'm starving myself. My BF called her and told her to stop (his siblings told him she was doing this), that we've decided to do our own thing for 4th of July and she needs to get over it. She went on this crazy rant about how she doesn't like "The Islamics" and I'm being a bad immigrant by not conforming to american society. I was born in the U.S. and I'm not Muslim. My BF hasn't talked to her since, but his dad and siblings are telling him he's being a douche and he made V cry.
tl;dr: BF stood up for me to his mom because she always gives me food I can't eat, but won't allow me to make my own. She went bonkers and accused me of having an eating disorder and went on an anti-immigrant tirade. What's the next step? Did we overreact?

quote:

My boyfriend is a really picky eater, he won't eat any meat that isn't in bread. Like he'll eat a hamburger, sandwich, etc. But he won't eat a steak, chicken breast, ham, or any other sort of meat that doesn't have bread around it. He also doesn't eat ANY seafood whatsoever. It annoys me and I always encourage him to try different things but he refuses to eat them, even if I go out of my way to buy the stuff and make it for him, and it upsets me. I'm more independent than him, he's kind of immature and eats like a teenager. So I guess part of maturing he will start expanding his diet but I really want him to eat different kinds of food. What should I do and how do I make him eat different things? Thanks
tl;dr: My boyfriend is a very picky eater, he won't eat any seafood or meat that isn't surrounded in bread. I want him to eat different things, but he's stubborn about it.

Well he does like some different foods, maybe I gave off the impression that he eats nothing but fast food lol. He loves Latin-American food, I'm a 2nd gen immigrant so that's one of the main things I make for him. He also eats some Greek, Chinese, Indian stuff, the only thing is that meat has to be surrounded by something. I think it's that the texture of meat by itself grosses him out or something. He doesn't eat a lot of meat in general. And he used to be a vegetarian.

I mean, he probably did what dudes do at 20 to womens clothing, put it on standard cycle (read: non-gentle) and then threw all the clothes on high heat for 60-90 minutes. That will right gently caress up women's underwear.


gently caress I double posted, shame on me.

I honestly thought that using the 'handwash' cycle with cold water would be gentle enough I even put her bras and socks and panties (my mom does this) in a pillow case and tied the end off to make sure they would be okay, but they still got messed up. The rest of her clothes are fine, it was just her bras and some panties that were destroyed.

I learned an expensive lesson and trust me, I won't be making this mistake again.

I don't put my ladies unmentionables in the dryer, we just line dry them, I figure if they go in the dryer they can only tumble and we typically just line dry tumble type poo poo and everything else gets thrown in the dryer together.
