My [28 F] Boyfriend [28 M] of 5-6 years has changed his mind about marriage in our future and I don't know how to proceed.quote:About a year or two ago, He kept bringing up marriage and I thought it was a real possibility in our future. With that in mind, I saved up a bunch of money and we decided to buy a house. For various credit related reasons (My salary is lower than his, and I have 2 car notes on my credit right now) we decided to put the house in his name. It was mostly my sacrifices that got us into the house, and I'm still paying off debt from the initial move in, about 3 months ago. When asked if her sacrifices meant paying for half of the down payment, her response: quote:No, I used some of my savings to pay for the whole downpayment and closing costs, and I took out a line of credit for new furniture that's just about paid off now. I'll just have to rebuild my own savings and I've decided not to contribute to the joint account for bills any longer. the

It's pretty common outside of large cities for people to get married and have kids right of high school. Probably because no one told them any better.

it's not that you can't train cats really, it's just that there is often very little point to training a cat because the things that humans typically expect cats to do (chase and kill vermin, be companionable) are things they do naturally. you can train dogs to do a lot more useful workSeven Hundred Bee posted:who the gently caress are all these people getting married at 19/20/21? people who want to gently caress but are told they have to be married first also people with no real concept of life's possibilities who think that immediately starting a family is what they are supposed to do rather than waste their twenties doing something far more entertaining than having children

Especially since she would have had to give him the money with a signed gift letter in order for the mortgage to go through. Like, she literally signed a thing that said she gave that guy money to buy the house...

HoAssHo posted:God drat, how do you get a job where you can just takes months off at a time because you're depressed and they bend over backwards to work with you on it? If you work for a very large company (>50,000 employees) a lot of the time they will have extremely forgiving policies when it comes to mental health. At that scale, it's easier to keep a few dozen nonproductive employees around than it is to deal with the potential lawsuit and fine they'll get slapped with if they gently caress up with the wrong person. Large employers are also under EEOC scrutiny pretty much all the time so they want to have as many disabled employees on the books as they can get. When I was at my absolute worst as a person (fully unmedicated) I worked for Hewlett-Packard and the stuff they let me get away with... Hooooo, boy. I'd come in 2-3 hours late twice a week on average, missed two days of work a month for as long as i worked there, and had a number of on-the-floor meltdowns that would have gotten me fired in a second with a less forgiving employer. At a couple of points when I was at my lowest I was offered sabbaticals - i passed on the opportunity, but it would have been acceptable and consequence free. It took me 3 years to lose that job - i'd have been out on my rear end in three weeks if I'd kept up that behavior at the place I work now. It was nice to not have to worry about depression getting me fired, but it really really held me back when it came to personal growth.

A few pages back.Mirthless posted:Ceramics glazed with radioactive material and glass made with uranium sand are both completely safe to use for eating and drinking. There's not enough radioactivity present to be harmful. You probably wouldn't want to give a baby a uranium glass baby bottle all the time but the amount of exposure you get from radioactive ceramics/glass is very low. The only reason these things don't get made anymore is because Uranium is a lot harder to buy than it was pre-WW2. I own a bunch of both the radioactive stoneware and glassware. The glassware is pretty much non detectable over normal background radiation. The red stoneware is pretty drat hot though, I get around 20,000 cpm off of just a coffee cup, some of the plates have around 3 to 4 grams of uranium used in the glaze. While that falls in a safeish range, I would not put it under my pillow or eat out of it. Uranium ore is easier to get than ever. https://unitednuclear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2_4

My (51/M) husband has been lying to me (50/F) for decades. He cheated on me when we were younger.quote:I feel as though my world has shattered. Over 30 years of marriage over. When were in HS and dating my Husband was out sick with the Flu. We had a big dinner date planned. We tell the story to our kids about how I was having a breakdown because of my terrible cooking and he calls and says he's out sick. This was important because, it was our first date. Ahahahahahaha.

Also pitching this in front of a younger audience is super funny, it's 2k17 it's still not even cheating if you've been dating for sometime because it's p common to date multiple people until things get serious. It becomes infidelity when you've agreed to not gently caress other people.

I only browse it to try and find some juicy horror stories to add to this thread. I think we generally don't link the reddit threads out of a hope to keep things from getting out of hand. I figured this case was worth looking up, didn't see anything in the OP about not doing it but if any mod wants it removed I can do so.

Ehhhh, there was another one in the controversial section where a guy broke up with his GF because she slept with a FWB before he 'put a stamp on it' to see each other exclusively. Some people are weird like that.

Some people are weird like that. I think the general rule of thumb is to not expect exclusivity unless you've had a convo about it but at the same time if you as an empathetic person can pick up on the idea that the person you're dating wants to move in that direction and would be hurt if you slept around it's still probably not in the best taste to keep loving around because it's "technically" okay. It can be kind of a gray area. In that OP's case where it was literally before their first date tho, it's not.
