I [31 M] have been with my girlfriend [27 F] for 1 year. She has a blog and today wrote a long post about why marriage is dumb and people shouldn't do it. I was thinking about proposing. Do I hold off?

quote:

I was at work this morning and my girlfriend posted a long piece on her blog about hoe marriage is stupid and no one in their right mind would ever want to get married when they know the divorce rate and they know how miserable it can be.

She and I have discussed marriage in the past few months and it didn't seem like anything she was opposed to. I was going to propose within the next half a year or so but now I'm wondering if that's a mistake. I know this is something we need to discuss in more detail but should I forget about the post? Just let it go? Maybe she's just exaggerating and it's not the big of a deal?

If she tells me she never wants to get married, but I like the idea of it, then is she not the right person for me? Would one out of the blue post instigate an entire break up when all else is going really well?

tl;dr: Not sure how gf feels about marriage anymore. Should I wait on proposal?

I'm [23F]. An acquaintance [22F] keeps a secret Tumblr blog about my boyfriend [27M].

quote:

An acquaintance [22F] keeps a Tumblr blog about my boyfriend [27M]. We know it is definitely her blog because it is linked to her instagram account and the Tumblr’s profile picture is clearly her. The blog contains two years worth of text posts about him and some photos she took without his consent. She has created a lengthy fictional relationship between my boyfriend and her. I am never mentioned in the blog, I don’t exist in her fictional world, despite dating him for nearly two years.

The early posts are about how they “just started dating” and how she is so in love with him. Then she says she “broke up with him” and begins to post about how awful he is and that she is glad they are over. The most recent posts are about how he is “her best male friend” but she still has feelings for him and can tell he feels the same way about her. None of this is true!

They have never dated or even hung out. She is only an acquaintance. We will say hello to her, if we happen to run into her, but we never make plans with her. We have almost no contact with her. She will send him a casual “hey, how have you been” text maybe once every three months, but other than that she hasn’t tried to contact him. Occasionally, she will like my social media posts but she has not texted me since spring.

I am not sure if he or I should confront her about this? Are there psychiatric services we can refer her? It seems harmless, but it is still really bizarre. She hasn’t displayed any violent behavior towards us, but I am somewhat concerned that if she is crazy enough to make up a secret fantasy life about him she might be crazy enough to try something violent.

tl;dr: A girl my boyfriend barely knows keeps a Tumblr blog depicting a fictional relationship between her and him. Not sure if I should confront her about this?

in college a friend hooked me up with her weird art roomate because my friend knew she was gay and wanted me to convince her of it. so we're at weird art roomate's gallery opening for her senior thesis and it wasn't until i was 3 bloody marys in that i realized the reason all of her work was painted with the same clay-brown paint was due to her harvesting her menstrual blood to use as a medium.
i was standing in the middle of the central room, as far as one could possibly be from an exit, next to the bartender, when it all dawned on me. I had the sudden realization that this is exactly what a foetus sees, that i was trapped in the middle of a swirling vortex of blood. i screamed, dropped my drink, and climbed out of a window without noticing it wasn't a door.

the worst part of it was that despite being a senior visual arts major she didn't know composition worth poo poo. like obviously painting in monochrome is going to limit your options for illusion of depth but it was like she didn't loving care and went full half rear end cavewoman menstruating all over everything to mark it as her territory. like she picked up a book of basquiat's work and jacked his utter disdain for the formalities of the art world with none of his insight or inversion of norms.

i ended up calling her later to apologize and she helped me repair the window screen i broke. we never got really serious but she ended up writing the foreward to my first poetry chapbook before moving to Japan to work at an organic farm and dropping the gently caress off the face of the Earth.

All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.
not r/relationships, but close enough if it's on reddit

To the lady that grabbed my hand at the airport and walked me away from my abusive relationship. Thank you!

quote:

I work at the airport and have a friend who I spend a lot of my time with. We are not in a relationships but we do have interest in each other so we have lunch together every once in a while. Every now and then he and I will get into little arguments and for some reason he cannot control his temper. He starts screaming at the top of his lungs, banging on chairs, forcing me to hold his hand or forcing me to look at him. He’s done this in the middle of the airport about five times and people have stopped and started. Today, for the first time out of those five times a lady grabbed my armed and told my friend to leave me alone and walked me to a police officer. This made me open my eyes and realize that I was getting myself into the worse mistake of my life. I can’t thank you enough and I truly, truly hope this will find you! I feel like you might have saved my life and the world needs more people like you. 💜

it made her "open her eyes" but she's still calmly referring to the person as a friend and how, you know, they just get a little angry and starts grabbing her in public when they have a little teensy weensy argument, just normal guy things

I hope she's actually willing to reflect on those red flags

My [33M] brother in law [36M] manipulated the sickly priest at my wedding.

quote:

Got married yesterday, beautiful ceremony, wonderful reception everyone had a good time. Two weeks before my wedding, the priest emailed my wife [31f]explaining that he is not feeling well (recovering from c-diff and a hernia operation) would like to enlist the help of another priest to help with the ceremony because he cannot stand on his feet for very long. We of course had no problem with this. During the ceremony, the other priest was not present, which was strange to my wife and I, however, the process went off without a hitch.

During the cocktail hour the priest approached my wife and apologized for "disrespecting her" and explaining "that if he knew that enlisting the help of another priest was distasteful he would have never asked". My wife was obviously confused by this and became rather upset. Turns out, my brother in law, an MD who is heavily involved in the church where we were married told the priest that two priests were distasteful and that my wife did not want them. This of course was a lie.

The rest of the night went great but in the morning I approached him about his behavior. I told him calmly that I did not appreciate him circumventing us, and explained that he owes my wife an apology. He did not speak with her at all. Later in the same day, I texted him "you owe your sister an apology".

An hour after the text was sent, my wife's mother [69f] called her screaming, that I shouldn't get involved and that she has no problem with her sons behavior. She also explained that she did not want the second priest because she did not want to pay him another $250. (We did not, the original priest said the second one would not charge us) My wife called her brother, furious, and demanded an apology, he did, but then proceeded to say that we "did not take the church service seriously because we were laughing and smiling during parts of it"

That's pretty much where the story ends, and I cannot help but think that my brother in law is an amazing hypocrite. Not only did he manipulate a sick mans behavior for virtually no reason, he also lied by omission to my wife and I and disrespected the same church that he chastised me for "not taking seriously". This man is a Medical Doctor, who is supposed to save people's lives, why didn't he have more empathy for the sick priest? I cannot think that he's a terrible person, I don't want to interact with people like that, but I'm stuck with this person for the rest of my life. Where should I go from here?

TL/DR my brother in law lied and told a sick priest that he had to do the work of two people.

Edit: additional information, BIL had 3 priests at his own wedding, including his FIL who is a church official in a congregation 4 hours away. Possible motivation here, he could have been trying to have his FIL help out with the service for some reason.

quote:

The interesting thing is, when he read my text, instead of calling my wife or responding to me, he called his mother. We also made it abundantly clear to the priest that we had no part in what happened, we talked at length about the decision to add the second priest.

quote:

Mother also remarked that when he was introduced at the reception we used his first name and never indicated that he was a doctor. Can't make this poo poo up.

It came from Ask A Manager:

my employee insinuated I was having an affair … with my husband

quote:

My husband and I work for the same mid-size government agency as senior level managers. We are in different departments, our job duties and direct colleagues/reports do not intersect, and our offices are not near each other. We have worked in the same building, and in fact on the same teams, several times throughout our marriage. Our supervisors are all aware we are married and were made so during the application processes. We both wear rings and sometimes carpool together, but have a very cordial, professional relationship while at work. I say this to mean we don’t engage in any touching or hugging, we don’t visit each other’s spaces to hang out, and while we’re both open about being married and who our spouse is if asked, we aren’t purposely calling attention to our relationship.

We have a standing lunch date once a week, when work allows. This past week, when returning from said lunch, a woman who reports to me pulled me aside. She said she thought it was inappropriate that I was going to lunch with a man, “who is also married.” She said she thought it would give the wrong impression and she was worried about my standing in the company if people got the wrong idea.

While I quickly corrected her by letting her know he is indeed my husband, and she seemed embarrassed by her error, the encounter left me a little annoyed and dismayed. Am I wrong to think she was out of line in correcting me, not just because she didn’t have all the information, but because the type of judgement she was engaging in is unfair — even if the man I was eating with wasn’t my husband?

Is it worth revisiting with her? If so, what should I say?

update: my employee insinuated I was having an affair … with my husband

quote:

Thank you for running my letter! It was very helpful to have your advice and the insight of some of your readers.

Some readers questioned whether the employee was speaking up because others were unaware of my relationship and had said something about it. I was almost positive that wasn’t the case, but just to be sure, I spoke to a few trusted colleagues up and down the chain-of-command. Everyone assured me that my original assumption was correct and that there was no gossip.

I ended up revisiting the conversation with my employee using the following script, posted by one of your readers: “I was thinking about the other day when you asked me about the lunch I had with my husband. I just wanted to make sure you know that it’s completely fine for you or anyone to have one-on-one lunches with others, whether married or not. I’ve found lunches with colleagues to be a great networking tool and I’d hate for you to miss out on that.” I absolutely loved the tone of it, which was very positive.

The employee said that she doesn’t believe socializing with the opposite sex was a requirement of her job. My response to that was, “It isn’t, but neither is policing the behavior of agency personnel. I was a little concerned that you felt the need to address something that you considered morally wrong, but had no standing to correct. I need you to make sure that you’re not allowing your personal beliefs to dictate how you handle those situations in the future. If someone’s behavior is directly affecting your ability to work, I’m happy to discuss it with you, and if necessary, address it on your behalf.”

I've been tryin' to speak with you for a long time
[NC and maybe SC] Wife bought me a sword cane for our 1 year anniversary. I'd like some clarification on the wording concerning knife legality.

quote:

Our One-Year Anniversary is today!
My awesome wife bought me Dr. Watson's (from the Sherlock Holmes' movies starring Robert Downey Jr.) and a black top hat. I'm a big fan of the mystery genre.
I've done some Googling, and found a nice source on the knife law for NC.
In it, it states:
(a) "It shall be unlawful for any person willfully and intentionally to carry concealed about his or her person any bowie knife, dirk, dagger, slung shot, loaded cane, metallic knuckles, razor, shuriken, stun gun, or other deadly weapon of like kind, except when the person is on the person's own premises."
Can you fine lawmen/women of Reddit help educate me on what "loaded cane" means? To me, it sounds more like something with an explosive or spring-based projectile.
I do not yet have a CCP for NC. I do have one for SC though - however, I currently reside in NC.
I guess my question is am I allowed to walk around with my cane in NC or SC?
Can I do so, if I get a CCP in NC?
Edit: Is there a better flair to mark my post with?

I'm not sure if it is worse that she bought him a sword cane and top hat for their anniversary or that he likes and is excited about this gift.

This is more job-related, but he seems to be extra mean in code reviews (for those who don't know about programming, it's when a programmer "reviews" the code another programmer wrote) when the reviewee is a woman. He only talks to male coworkers, although not much, but female coworkers, he shuns. Answers in monosylabes, cuts the conversation short and in a couple of times he's been very rude when doing that.

But what really tilted the field for us was, who are acustomed to these "low-key woman-haters", was when one of my coworkers caught him reading an MRA site and making comments about how women get hired in our field only because the companies need a diversity quota. We brought this concern to HR (which has been amazing in my time here, really trying to make the whole place a welcoming one for all people and not just virgin white men) and they had a talk to him. I don't know what he said, but he ended up being fired.


(this caused an enormous shitstorm where people thought she was bullying an autistic guy out of a job. Thread got really spicy when she accused him of being a virgin. Eventually the whole thing got locked.)

The whole wording makes it look like bait.

[NC and maybe SC] Wife bought me a sword cane for our 1 year anniversary. I'd like some clarification on the wording concerning knife legality.


I'm not sure if it is worse that she bought him a sword cane and top hat for their anniversary or that he likes and is excited about this gift.


There can be only one.

I don't even know what's up with that response to OP mentioning Texas. Having a sword concealed in in a cane is the exact opposite of open carry.
