So he walked an uncovered, 8 month old baby, through the "very cold" weather, all the way to his wife's office? Like, he couldn't find a more ready solution like the jacket he was wearing, or any single article of clothing at a shop nearby that he could purchase, or some loving paper towels or the dead body of a homeless person?

What a dipshit.

Edit: I'm getting loving angry at that dude.
It's "very cold" is Australia so it's probably a frosty 85 degrees.

Ice clinging to his body the man stumbles to the front door of a local pub, he bangs desperately on the glass door hoping to get the attention of the bartender who stands polishing a glass*

The bartender looks out through the glass into the blizzard, the wind knocks over a nearby water tower. The bartender shakes his head and points to a nearby sign: No Minors allowed.

The wife remains unmoved by his tale, amidst it all it is her heart that is the coldest thing. In her climate controlled office she does know what he has known. Divorce proceedings begin.

Assuming that's a recent post, it's midwinter and can get down to like 40f. So yeah leaving a baby in a stroller in just a onesie feels preeeetty neglect-y.

Ok I think non romantic is my new go to subsection of relationships

How do I [F18] tell my parents I'm marrying my boyfriend [M19]?

I'm going to bold the part the OP bolded in their post:

quote:

Some backstory, we've been together for 4 years. We've had our ups and downs and have come out stronger through them all. We are planning to move across the country later this year and decided that marrying before we go just feels right.

The real question is how do I tell my parents I'm getting married young? I'm sure of my decision and I'm happy to, but I'm worried of their reaction. They married at 20 and are still together 20 years later but I'm still really scared.

They love my fiancé, and I'm not worried about that they won't support us because we are young. And they didn't want me to move quite so early. But again I know it's what's best for me and him right now.

Any advice on how to approach this would be appreciated.

tl;dr: I'm marrying my fiancé and need advice on telling parents. We are also moving cross country in a few months.

Will not respond to or read comments saying we are too young, etc. I'm looking for serious advice on the issue presented. Thanks.

Yeah to me it just looks like this guy is a bit of a walking menace, I figure the wife was involved heavily for the first few months so this guy can't have been in charge of taking care of the child very long. Which means that in the short time the child has been in his care there have been repeated serious screwups and no period where he's super careful afterward. So it's hard to imagine that this dude is just unlucky, and more that he's really inattentive and careless. Which has become obvious to his wife.

Even the way he phrases things is hosed up and super passive, as if other people tell him what to do and he does it.

Oh my god, y'all.

Stupid Question: My girlfriend (22F) makes a lot of sexual references via text. How can I (22M) nicely tell her that they aren't sexy to me?

quote:

So my GF and I have been together 4 years and are about to move in together. I'm already in the place that she will soon be moving to. Since we met in college, we usually spend summer breaks apart with no visits, so 3-4 months LDR.

Lately, my GF has made these sexual references while texting me that are very obvious and...not sexy, even though I know that's what she's going for. For instance, today I mentioned how we pay our water bill and we were talking about ways we can reduce water consumption. At the end she said "well...i know another way we can reduce water consumption... ;) " alluding to showering together. It's just sort of weird to read out of the blue and I never know how to respond to it. She's been doing it quite often lately too. The most common one is "Hey...I really miss you. In every way... ;) " It just takes a sweet sentiment and makes it kind of silly.

She's insecure about herself sexually so I'm afraid if I tell her that I don't really like the little remarks, she'll feel terrible about herself. Should I just let this go? Is there a nice way to express myself?

tl;dr: GF makes sexual references in texts to me, I don't really find them sexy. Do I say something or not?

To be fair, he did say "Stupid question" in the title, :newlol:

Lordy, the comments

quote:

I mean, half the time I'm at work or something, or doing home repair, not exactly a flirty mood. I know she's trying to be nice, I never really know how to respond. If I respond in a silly way she gets upset. She's trying to be sexy.

quote:

I don't know. It just feels weird to me. I don't really think sexually about her when she's not there, so it may just be a difference between us.

Honestly, no. No one has ever said anything that cruel to me, and if they did, I'd cut them out of my life. More people should be cool with cutting total loving assholes out of their lives, it would lead to less stress.

Yeah, the 17 year old probably didn't mean it and will apologize but I don't blame the sister for choosing to rat her sister out after she said that.

Don't mouth off to authority figures when they cut you slack. You can't put a price on that life lesson.

A 17 year old is a child with an undeveloped brain and cutting them out of your life that early is closer to cutting an 8 year old out of your life who says they hate you than cutting out a toxic adult.


Also, I don't really like trying to be sexy over text, either. It's just a pale and awkward imitation of intimacy and I sure as hell am not sending pictures of my junk to anyone.

He says it started suddenly so I'm feeling like she wants their relationship to be a little bit more flirty. Regardless, that is some tame flirting and dude should at least be intrigued if he's into her.

The bit where he gets flustered cause missing his D ruins the "sweet" idea of missing him is real ridiculous.

Yeah, but they usually realize how goddamn stupid it was within a relatively short amount of time and at least try to apologize. Some things don't really get forgiven because they cut too deep and it's already been said. She may not have meant that she's actually happy about the husbands death, but she sure as poo poo meant to hurt her sister and that message got across just fine.
