I [27/M] am dating a girl [28/F] with a really odd "quirk" and I'm not sure this is too big a red flag or just a case of nerves?quote:Here's the situation. This summer I landed an internship between Year 1 and Year 2 of my MBA program. At work, I met "Jules" [28/F] who works in an administrative & E/A role at the company. Nothing happened at work but she and I stayed in contact and after I left she initiated discussions of a date. We did and have been out 5 or 6 times. In general, things are really great - she's very sweet and thoughtful; she's funny and we share a lot of common interests as well as sharing a similar set of goals. We're well matched, but here's the thing: She often says the wrong loving thing, then panics, repeats it and then panics further, goes beet red and then buys me a gift.

Much as I support just taking these stories at face value and assuming the storyteller never lies, that's some vile loving nonsense for a guy who otherwise seems relatively reasonable in the rest of the story to say. He certainly doesn't seem bad to his kids, seeing as how the oldest would apparently hate him leaving and how he insisted he'd still love and support her if she wanted the third child, even if it's not what he wanted. Considering how loving crazy the rest of her story is(Yes, it's not normal to insist on only having sex for the purposes of procreation in a healthy relationship to the point where it terrifies you to use birth control) it's very possible that he made an off hand comment to the effect of the kids stressing him out because he's 27 and has two kids and she took it to mean that he hates their children. Sitcom guy is loving great though

She explicitly says she's fine having sex with no intention of procreation, but she knows that pregnancy is a possible risk whenever you have sex and the best you can do is to reduce that risk, a risk that she tries to be mindful of when making a decision to have sex. It's an extremely prudent and practical policy. It was foolish of her to not be using better birth control than calendar timing, but at the time she was under the impression that her husband was ok with the possibility of more kids. When he made it clear that he adamantly was not ok they started using protection. How unreasonable

I didn't read it as "you can only have sex for procreation" or 'terrified of birth control' since she used condoms and had an abortion. Rather I took it to mean she only wanted to have sex with folks she was in a serious, long-term relationship with (vs. hookups). Bizarre that she kept sleeping with him after the fact. I would hope that its a case of dad feeling stressed and resentful and depressed and not being able to articulate it well due to being, you know, stressed and depressed. But I have nothing to base that on but hope.

I'm [27F] having troubles answering people's questions about my pregnancy, caused some drama with friends (all 20s)quote:I'm 7 months pregnant with a child I plan on giving to a wonderful couple, closed adoption. I made this choice because the child was the product of non-consensual sex. I didn't press charges because I was a bit of a party-girl and didn't think I would be believed. I honestly have no idea who the guy was, I just remember trying to push him off and being to drunk to do so. quote:UPDATE

Beachcomber posted:You're right. The movie is from the father's wife's perspective about the discovery of her husbands hidden secret that threatens to tear her perfect family apart. I remember a movie my mom watched that was perfect Lifetime. So there was a doctor whose wife had twins. One boy, and a girl with Downs Syndrome. So he gave the baby girl to his nurse and told her to take it to a home for "those people" because he didn't want his wife to have to deal with it (and because when he was a kid in the loving 30's, his cousin/sister died as a baby and he wanted his wife to be spared that, somehow?); instead he told her the baby was stillborn. But the nurse kept the baby as her own, because she saw the poo poo that went on in the asylums; she got married and lived a nice life with cute baby. Not the doctor. In fact his family fell apart because he refused to have sex with his wife anymore for fear of another Downs baby. His son was lonely and angry that his parents never did much with him, and wife was depressed and always missing the lost daughter, had a few affairs, hated her husband, the usual Lifetime poo poo. Of course in the end the doctor escaped with his hosed up crime; he kept every letter and photo from the nurse (because she sent him updates, and kept moving around because he demanded the child back when she was about 5 or so) hidden well past his death, so his elderly wife found out about 40 years after the 'miscarriage' her baby was alive. I remember watching it and thinking, gently caress this noise, that dude died before his wife could stab him a thousand times with a carving knife. Would have been a much better movie.

Cat Guy obviously doesn't know the first thing about Service Animals. One of the first things asked of prospective partners is if they can properly tend to the animal's needs. Monthly grooming, good food, vet, etc. A cat can be leash or harness trained to work in a professional setting. It must be on leash at all times. Its toilet needs must be met. An automatic cat box is ideal for an office. You must have water ready at all times. It must have an adequate place to rest. It must go home with you and spend as much time as possible with you. Leaving it overnight is unacceptable. The Guide Dog is a non-issue because Service Dogs are trained with cats. However, cats are less reliable than dogs or miniature horses, which is why the US no longer accepts them as Service Animals. They can be therapy or emotional need animals, which do not have the same rights. My Service Dog is always happy to see a cat, or even another dog, though she prefers to see little kids.
