Wait, you can get fired in the US for loving at work without any kind of evidence?

So a boss can just say "yeah he was banging some prostitute at work" and fire you at will, no conditions?

You can be fired because your boss doesn't like the color of your shirt or because you prefer staples to paper clips. Boning at work is probably actually against rules for good reason, so yeah that's definitely a firing if the boss isn't the one you were boning.

I [23F] am getting sterilized. My sister [32F] is taking it personally

quote:

I've known for a long time that I am not interested in birthing or raising children and therefore i am going to get sterilized. Despite being careful with birth control I still got pregnant twice (once at 17 and once last year). Both pregnancies were terminated and solidifed my decision. I've been thinking about getting sterilized for a long time now. I'm getting the tubal in 2 weeks time. The doctor approved and the surgery is confirmed.

My sister has been struggling with infertilty. In the past she used to say that she will definitely not have children but ended up changing her mind and she hasn't had a successful pregnancy carried to term and she has been trying for 5 years. I shared the news with my bff friends and told them to keep it a secret. One of them blabbed about it to my sister. She apologised but I'm still mad at her. My sister is taking my deicison to get sterilized extremely personally. She has called me 100+ times in the past 3 days and left me dozens of messages claiming that I will change my mind and that I'm making a mistake & that she will disown me as her sister if i go through with it. She also said that I am taking my fertilty too lightly. Blah blah. Lots of projection from her. She also called my Dad to try to get him to talk sense into me (though my Dad said it's ultimately my decision). She messaged my boyfriend on Facebook and told him he was evil for letting me go through with this.

How do I sensitively handle this? Do you think she will really disown me? I want to block her number and her on social media until the surgery passes but at the same time don't want to make things worse. Our mom passed away when I was really young and my sis has been more of a mom to me than a sister and I hate to disappoint her and upset her but this is a decision i made long ago. Any advice?
tl;dr I am getting sterilized in 2 weeks. My sister is upset and projecting her fears and issues onto me and even said she will disown me. Advice?

This is fresh out the oven so no comments yet, hopefully tomorrow it has some incredibly terrible opinions in it.

e:

Also this thing:

My [22F] partners [21F] [23F] want to introduce a guy [20M] into our relationship

quote:

So quick backstory on our relationship because I know it might confuse some people: two years ago I started dating a girl I met at uni (who I'll call Amber) we clicked super well and I thought things were going great when on our fourth date she told me that she was polyamorous, and that she wanted to make sure I was cool with this before things went any further. She said that she already had a girlfriend but that she wanted to date me too. I was kinda freaked out at first but gave it a shot and six months down the road all three of us were dating.

Now two years on we all live together. Amber occasionally dates other people, but myself and my other girlfriend (who I'll call Bethany) don't see anyone else outside of the three of us. That all changed lately though. As a general rule Amber, while sleeping with other people, doesn't usually get too involved with them. But she'd met this guy (I'll call Jack) who she said she was sleeping with but was also friends with and we should meet. This was the first time we'd hung out with one of her other partners, but it wasn't too weird, I wasn't really jealous because I figured it was no big deal if they were sleeping together since there were plenty of times she and Bethany would sleep together without me, or me with one of them without the other. Jealousy just doesn't work in this kind of relationship. And Jack, as a friend, seemed like a decent guy. But last week I had to leave for a few days to help my grandmother move house and when I got back Amber and Bethany said that they'd slept with Jack together while I was away, after all going out drinking. They started trying to discuss the fact that they want Jack to be a part of our relationship too, which is something that I just don't see myself being comfortable with. I love them both, but I am never going to love Jack because I am not attracted to guys, I have always been clear that I'm 100% gay (Amber is pan and Bethany bi). Amber was saying that it's not like I'd have to sleep with him, but they both would, and they'd be going on dates with him, and Amber was saying that she was falling in love with him, and the whole thing made me really uncomfortable but I really didn't know how to say anything.

It's not just jealousy, because I can deal with Amber sleeping with someone else, and I don't think it's insecurity because it's not like I worry her loving Bethany means she loves me less, because I know that my loving them both doesn't diminish my love for either of them. So I don't really know what makes me so uncomfortable about this, it just feels like this would somehow corrupt what we have together if that makes sense. But again I don't know how to say that without it seeming irrational, and I know that Amber could tell I was hesitant but she said it would be like how I was hesitant when she said she was polyamorous and how well that ended up working out but I know this is different somehow.. I know this isn't the most conventional of relationships, but I figured I'd ask and see if anyone else who's poly had experienced anything like this and how they dealt with it? (Or anyone not poly just having advice??)

Tl;dr - I'm a lesbian in a polyamorous relationship with 2 girls, one pan one bi. They want to introduce a guy into the relationship, I'm uncomfortable with it and unsure why/how to tell them

Why do people with that don't appear to even have the skills (like basic communication) that are required for a mono relationship go ahead and jump into these complicated situations? It's amazing...

Cancer and mental illness run in my family and I have absolutely zero desire to ever be a mother, and my BF couldn't give a poo poo about having kids either way. My older brother still lives at home and has some vaguely explained fear of ever becoming a father.

The number of people that think we're ghoulish or horrible for 'but your father deserves grandchildren!' astounds me. It's weird that people freak out at other people's choice whether or not they want to have kids or not.

Well, the OP's too because she doesn't seem to mention it as a defense to "I can still have kids later and what's not real about adoption hey why aren't you adopting?", but I'm not going to be harsh there.

Again, adopted kid. It's really grating that other people feel so entitled to biological relatives. Yes some goon can :biotruths: me all day but consider this-- I've never known a blood relative in my entire life. You really think I don't know what the gravity well of wanting to see my genes in another human being feels like? You really don't? I've literally never seen a photo or another human being that truly looked like me. I get it. Part of me is always going to really really really want to have a little son or daughter with my hair or eyes or autism just so I can know what that feeling is like. To hug someone and feel that on a molecular level there's "me" in there. I still think it's stupider to do that when there are loads of kids--like me--who need a home, and if you can't even consider adopting a kid then you're a selfish piece of poo poo who never deserved one in the first place.

Dog ones are my poo poo.

My (21F) Boyfriend (25M) shows more affection to his dogs... I’m deeply upset but not sure how to fix it

quote:

I visit him 1 times a week/fort-week, and we don’t meet on any other days. When we’re together at his place, I would sometimes probe him to cuddle/hug etc, but he would call his dogs over to cuddle with him instead of obliging. This doesn’t happen all the time, but it happens more often than not.

When I’m beside him in bed and we’re both doing our own things, he could cuddle his dogs with his spare hand rather than me, even though he knows I crave for his attention. I’m afraid if I bring it up to him, he would think I’m being illogical and dramatic, but I can’t help but feel defeated and devastated... He basically lives with them 24/7 but can’t show me attention when I do visit him once every 2 weeks. I know he’s had his dogs longer than he knows me, but it feels like the worst feeling ever.

tl;dr Boyfriend shows more affection to dogs than me even though I visit him only on rare occasions

In 2017 people are unironically imploding when people break up with them for cheating

I(25M) ghosted my gf(23) of 1.5 years after she cheated on me. she apparently has panic attacks and her friends and my sis beg me to get back with her.

quote:

This is a throwaway. All names changed. It is going to be long, so bear with me.

My ex Anna(23F) is my sister Abby's(23F) best friend. My sister and I were never close, mostly because I spent most of my life in a hostel and moved out pretty quickly after I got into college. When Abby started college, she moved in with me to save money. So I got introduced to her best friend of over 16 years, Anna, and we started dating. Abby had a huge role in this, because she seriously wanted us to end up marrying each other. However, the relationship blossomed and we moved in together. So, me, anna and abby lived together and it wad amazing. We were like a happy little family. The relationship was progressing smoothly, to my knowledge. We had plenty of sex, and Abby made sure she gave us a lot of privacy. It was bliss.

Until she cheated on me with her ex. I recently got a promotion and my work hours increased. So one day, I took a half day and came home to hear Abby yelling at Anna as loud as humanly possible. I didn't want to get into the middle of it, so I just waited for them to be over. She was yelling stuff like, "You shouldn't have contacted (ex-bf). You shouldn't have hosed him!! Can you even imagine how hurt (I) will be!! If you don't want him, break up!" this piqued my interest, and I went to the lawn and eavesdropped on their conversation. She had been loving him for three months, and basically went to him when I was at work or when she told us she had class. Most of the conversation was her justifying her actions, and Abby yelling at her for being "human garbage" and that she shouldn't have told her. From what I could gather, Abby knew about this for quite some time. She was saying things like he "charmed" her into bed, that he was a God in bed and it had nothing to do with me. She loved me with all her heart, supposedly, but still had some unresolved feelings for (ex-bf). She wanted to experiment sexually, which she could obviously do with me. She was trying to validate her actions by saying that humans are not made for monogamous relationships, and that it doesn't matter anymore because she ended it. At this point my sister got a call and the conversation ended. I was heartbroken and went for a long walk, after which I called my best friend and asked him what to do. He immediately told me that I should just take my stuff and move in with him.

We made a plan. I would go home and act tired, and leave at night without their knowledge. I did what he said. My sister acted like everything was normal, and even though I tried to coax some information out of her, she didn't budge and stuck to her lies. This made me feel like she was at fault. She betrayed me, not as much as Anna, but she did. Anna even tried to initiate sex but I was utterly disgusted at her. When everybody fell asleep, I packed some stuff and left. I didn't leave a note or anything. I just left. I blocked both of them everywhere. I called my father and told him everything, and he supported my decision. But he said that I should try and forgive my sister, and I told him that I would try. Within a week, I sent them a notice to move out within 30 days. Abby texted me from another number, and we talked for some time. She was extremely apologetic and said she didn't know what to do. She asked me for an extension on the date because neither of them have enough money to move out and that they'd move out within another 14 days. She offered to cut Anna out of her life to save our relationship, but I thought it was too late for that and that it didn't matter. I was not interested in any relationship with either of them because they had broken my trust when living under my roof, mostly on my money. She had known what was going on from the very beginning of the affair but chose to remain silent because she didn't want to damage her relationship with me or with Anna. I told her that I'd try to forgive her and hung up. I unblocked her at my father's request.

Meanwhile, Anna is miserable. Apparently her depression is back with much more intensity, she has panic attacks at night because I'm not with her, has nightmares of me getting married to someone else, and in general has a lot of anxiety. All she does is stay in my room and hugs my clothes(wtf!?). She has withdrawn from all her friend circles. She doesn't go to college anymore. She barely eats. She does send me a bunch of emails, but they go to trash and she is blocked on all of my social media. Now, Abby and some of Anna's friend have contacted me and asked me to get back with her because if this goes on she would die. They know what's happened between them because the (ex-bf) told them. He was just using her for sex, and did make that clear to her. He was unaware of the fact that she was in a relationship. He ended things when he felt she was developing feelings. But still, her friends ask me to talk to her again, even just as a friend.

Ideally, I should feel no sympathy towards her. She was well aware of the ramifications of her decisions. She could have told me, and maybe I could've forgiven her. She could've broken up with me. She could have done a number of things which would've resulted in this being much more pleasant for both of us. I really don't want to talk to her again, but I am concerned for her and feel a bit guilty over the fact that she is deteriorating mentally and physically over me.

I'm helpless. I feel like I overreacted. I feel like she deserves closure, at least. I don't know. I feel guilty because I cut my sister out of my life. I need some unbiased opinion on my reaction, and some advice would be greatly appreciated.

Tl;dr : my(25M) ex-gf(23F) of 1.5 years cheated on me. My sister(23F), who is her best friend of over 16 years, was aware of the affair. She hid it from me. All of us lived together. When I found out, I ghosted both of them. I sort of reconciled with my sister. My sister and my exes friends told me that she is deteriorating mentally and physically and that I should get back with her.

Get this: This dude's sister still sucks!! lol Yeah maybe she shouldn't be involving herself, or hiding affairs, or trying to get this dude to get back with the lady that cheated on him.

From the comments:

quote:

Ask them what dope they have been smoking because it is craaaazy. Closure? What closure? She cheated on you, period. Your sister is a better friend to her than a sister to you. She knew? Wtf? Ask them what universe they came from.

OP:

quote:

As a matter of fact, she is a better friend to Anna. She often makes it quite clear, both by her actions and words. I don't blame her, they've spent much more time together. I did much of my schooling while staying in a hostel, while she was educated at home. That's why I feel she helped her hide it from me.
