I worked with a woman who was the shortest person in the family at 5'11 and everyone else from siblings to spouses to parents was well over 6 feet tall. Her parents got married because "neither one of them wanted to have to argue with their spouse about using the top parts of cabinets" so I dont think its necessarily eugenics so much as a strong desire for kids to be like him in a away he percieves as fundamentally shapingn his life.

You're allowed to have romantic preferences, and act on them. That's fine and you can do anything you want for any reason it's your life and these are your preferences.

If you explain what those preferences are or write them down in any way, you are abusive and weird.

And if you state that physical factors could ever be a factor in your decision making, well, you aren't playing pretend well enough like all the other people are

Every individual person is a poo poo slurry of millions of choices, experiences, relationships, successes, mistakes, and mutable and immutable characteristics.

Nobody is defined solely by, "what they choose to be" and nobody is defined solely, "what they were born to be." We are all an amalgamation of all of it, and learning to be comfortable with yourself and to love yourself because of who you are, not in spite of who you are, is the highest compliment you can give yourself.

The internet is a bad way to judge people because its like looking at a Monet through a pinhole.

You should ask any ex-con. They are very successful at being defined by something they did, sometimes decades after they paid their debt to society.

I'd say at least in some respects, like I didn't get diagnosed with Marfans and then go "waaah my joints hurt all the time, ergo I will sit around and whine and also tell everyone I know and that will be the only thing they know about me". It's not that important, I base my identity far more around my art and my values :shrug:

Like even if that art is mostly stupid crap, it's my stupid crap, I chose to make it. I am a Stupid Crap Maker.

La Brea Carpet: Nov 22, 2007; I have no mouth and I must post

[My]21F [boyfriend]19M dirtied our apartment to avoid meeting my parents

quote:

My boyfriend has been getting very nervous about meeting my parents. We've been together for about 6 months and met after we moved in together. We share the apartment with one other [girl]17F. Everything is great except for this one thing. He is very strange about his parents as well and will not let me meet them. Two weeks ago he claimed they were in the process of moving to the United States of American when I asked if we could have dinner with them again. He received a package from the USA yesterday and told me his parents sent it. Now I am thinking this might be a lie and he sent it to himself.

We have been planning to have my parents over for dinner for several weeks now. They were supposed to come tonight but I had to cancel because of what I came home to. I spent several hours cleaning yesterday so I would not have to worry about it after work. I came home to a disaster in the kitchen (but no food had been made). Shredded paper towels, dirt poured from the potted plant, and powder (flour?) everywhere. Boyfriend said roommate did it. Roommate said she was not home.

That is not the most startling part, yet. There was fecal poop smeared in the bathroom on the floor and baseboards. My boyfriend said he became very ill and was unable to clean up. That does not explain how it came to be smeared everywhere.

My boyfriend is lying in bed watching Shows, telling me he does not feel well at all. I have not cleaned up the poop and I am very concerned. I do not want to be with him any more but he is my roommate so I think that was a very big mistake. There a more weird things that he has done that he told me were normal in the USA but now I am thinking that he was lying again.

I'm not English, I apologize for grammatical errors.

Edit Update: Thank you graciously. I did not mean to offend any of your in the American culture, or those of you that engage in this act! I began to doubt him afterward. My parents collected us and we are at their house because my boyfriend would not leave the apartment! He was very upset because he had to meet my parents anyway.

tl;dr: MY Boyfriend dirtied our apartment and I believe it was a childish maneuver so that he would not have to meet my parents

quote:

Redditor:
Time to get the hell out and don't look back. That's insane. Find a new place to live or move in with your mom and dad and don't talk to this guy again.
(Also, I am American and live in the US and trashing your home and smearing poop everywhere is NOT normal. In fact, fecal smearing is a sign of serious mental problems in children and definitely so in adults.)

OP:
I see, he has told me this is an American act. I am nervous about what I should do. I am sitting in my roommates room with her and we have blocked the door with barriage, but I can hear my boyfriend calling for me

quote:

He behaves inappropriately, such as grabbing me and lifting my skirt when we are on public streets. He also does other inappropriate acts that I do not think are worth repeating. In addition, he steals my clothing and puts it in the disposal so that I cannot leave the house. Before he said it was a romantic gesture but now I do not think so.

Is this Japan? I bet this is in Japan.
