I feel like my girlfriend of 3 years doesn't love me anymore.. (self.relationship_advice)


quote:

Hi all,

My first post on this sub. Im 20 years old, male from england (English isn't my first language so go easy on me. Me and my girlfriend have been together for nearly 3 years ( anniversary in 3 weeks ). For the last year I feel like she had changed. She acts really distant, its really hard to explain but it just feels like shes not there. Whenever she is with me shes always on her phone, but when I text her she never replies. We've had multiple arguments about her not being affectionate enough in this relationship and she will always say I'm just paranoid and I should leave it. The other week she was coming back from work so I decided to make a romantic dinner with candles and everything, i texted her asking when she will be home and she said 15mins. I sat and waited at the table for 1:30hrs like an idiot, when she finally showed up I asked her what happened because I was worried,she said I'm controlling and she went to her parents house... i cant remember the last time we had sex or any sort of physical contact. don't know what to do anymore, I love her so much but it just feels like she doesn't feel the same. Am i just being needy or is something else up?

P.s. i never thought that she would ever cheat on me but after writing this out I feel like that could be a possibility.

Yeah, and I agree with that part. The part I don't agree with is, functionally, much less important and so obviously I'll argue it till the end of the thread. I just disagree that she was restricted by the grandfather. She made her choice to abandon her child and grandchild based on racism.

My dad was born in '47 and witnessed the Detroit riots firsthand yet still didn't end up in a situation where he'd ever consciously make the choice to leave their grandchild's future up to chance because of the color of their skin. "Oh but they're olds" doesn't really work when we're talking about being disowned in 1989.

This is why it's hard to speculate on some of these threads and have people arguing about 'gently caress that old hag! vs. do what is best for yourself'. All we have to go by is OP's original post and follow up comments.

Considering there have been stories from that subreddit about people's parents in TYOOL 2017 threatening to disown their child for dating a black man, and many more wondering what to do regarding a lovely controlling partner, I think some of us responding to that story are more curious than anything what the actual deal with the grandma's situation was.

Same obv. But I think approaching him at his parents' funeral and sending him letters for however many years are both signs that she was obeying her husband and not acting out of hella racism herself. It would've been easier to just wash her hands like bad granddad did.

It is if anything immensely worse if she literally abandoned her grandchild to the foster care system out of a disinterest in making waves or being inconvenienced, rather than a sincere belief in the moral imperative of racial segregation.

Writing letters didn't get the kid fed or loved or cared for, it only served to salve her own conscience, it was a purely selfish act and the OP recognizes it as such. "Washing her hands" is a reference to Pontius Pilate symbolically denying his own culpability for putting Christ on the cross even as he ordered it, not the act of condemning Christ.

She may have sincerely believed that a state-approved caretaker would be a safer bet for him than a crazy racist and controlling granddad who didn't want the kid. Or if we want to go hog-wild, she may have feared for her life in a direct or indirect way if she left him.

Granny is garbage and is looking death in the face and suddenly has the fear of god in her.

The question is just do you want to swallow your pride and gamble on getting some benefit out of it or do you not? Either way it is a personal decision and neither one is really right or wrong.

I think anne isn't really trying to justify granny's behavior so much as saying that it's possible the surrounding circumstances make her forgivable if that's what the OP wanted to do even if it's understandable that they wouldn't want to.

If grandma threw op under the bus to save her own skin it's still awful but a bit more understandable than the grandpa. OP has no obligation to forgive, but it is something they could do if they were interested (whereas if it was the grandpa I would say no regardless).

I [21 F] clogged my bf's [24 m] toilet; poo water to the brim... I should feel mortified, right?

quote:

I've been dating this guy for almost a year; we are very close and I feel very comfortable talking about anything with him - even poop! Recently, we reached the level of closeness where we can say things like "I gotta poo" and we joke about it and giggle etc. I know it sounds gross but I actually find it to be a pretty important element of "intimacy" in a relationship where both people act like themselves/real human beings.

Anyway, he has a really lovely 'electric' toilet on the top floor of an apartment. I've never actually pooed at his place before because I'm afraid of clogging it. But I did for the first time in his place a few days ago and bloody hell it clogged to the top.

At first it was funny, because I wouldn't let him see it and would just keep saying "yeah, it's bad...but I got this" as I spent almost over an hour trying to fix it.

But then I discovered that one of the pipes is leaky - so when I plunged, the water would go down, but some of it would leak out onto the floor through the pipe. The shittiest situation ever. If the toilet wasn't broken it would have been fine.

Then I let him see it and he flushed and the water went back up again. I had to get tf out of there so I just apologized and admitted that I was mortified and told him if he had to get it fixed then I would pay for any expenses. Soooo emmbbbaarrrasssinnnggg right?

He said it was fine, that he wasn't grossed out, that he thought it was funny, and that he was even surprised that 9 months had gone by and it hadn't happened yet. And I keep reminding myself that I'm only human, and I poo, and that's okay, and if he had done the same thing I my place I wouldn't care at all, and I would also think it was funny.

Would y'all be as mortified as I am right now? Am I making it 100 times worse by being so dramatic? Do you think there is anything I can do to make my guy think less about it - for example, when I pee at his place (never pooing there again ever) I don't want him to associate my going to the bathroom with "the incident"

tl;dr: Clogged my guy's toilet - mortified ... read for details. How can I "recover" from the embarrassment? Am I being dramatic?

My [33/M] wife's [32/F] parents bringing their [40/f] daughter uninvited to events and visits [non-romantic]

quote:

Background for this is a bit strange. My wife's sister, let's call her Theresa, lives with her parents who are both in their early 70s[step father and biological mother]. Theresa does not work, she does not maintain any independence, does not clean, and demands a special diet, she also seems to have very little social ability and just kind of exists in the room. My mother in law doesn't seem to have a problem bringing Theresa along to events uninvited. Situations like us coming for a 4 day weekend visit to the family camp gets taken over by the visit from Theresa. She'll eat the majority of food that we've prepped for the visit, drink the majority of drinks, leaves messes all over the place, attempts to take our 2 young children to the water without permission, and is overall just very unaware of any form of polite etiquette. She makes comments to my mother in law that she "deserves" all of the things my wife and I have, such as newer house and cars, but she expects my mother in law to pay for it all. It makes visits very stressful.

We are currently planning a visit from the in-laws after a family wedding in a few weeks. They are completely invited and we were looking forward to them coming. All of a sudden my mother in law mentions she's bringing Theresa. This is the first time she's attempted bringing Theresa to our home, we live about 13 hours away so most visits are very planned. There's never been an invite extended to Theresa as my wife and myself both have a very hard time dealing with her. My wife and I are having a hard time figuring out how to reject Theresa coming without completely angering my mother in law.

tl;dr: Older adult sister living with in-laws getting brought to events uninvited. How do we say no to her coming to our house without hurting the relationship with in-laws?
