The guy is a retard for thinking she's somehow tainted, but if he wouldn't have dated her had the known, that's his own problem. She should've told him the truth, and they're both sorta awful, though he's prolly worse. Once she told the lie she was committed to maintaining sexual kayfabe in order to continue the relationship and avoid crushing the insecure pissbaby’s ego. Either be honest from the start or follow through.

My [M30] wife [F30] just told me that she's never been in love with me. Doesn't want a divorce, but wants an open marriage. Need some advice.quote:So like the title says, my wife and I have been married for 7 years with 3 kids 5 and under. This last weekend she told me that she didn't think that she was ever really in love with me. Loves me as a best friend and life partner and father of her kids, but not romantically. Our sex life has always been great so that was a surprise to me. We were both raised Mormon and she is blaming the societal pressure to marry as the reason for marrying me even though she wasn't in love with me. This all came out when I found out that she had been chatting with some guy online and then he took her upstairs at the Halloween party we went to. She says they just hugged but I have my doubts. We talked a lot about it and came to the decision that we didn't want to divorce for the kids' sake, but that she needed outside fulfillment. We decided that she would just chat online with guys and get her "butterflies" that way. Then I find out from my 3 year old today that mom had a friend meet them at the park today. Turns out it was the guy from the party. Confronted my wife and she admits that she wants to be married to me and have a relationship with this guy. I'm heartbroken and don't know how to move forward. Any advice would be much appreciated. On the bright side, they probably save a lot on their Summer power bills because of how ice cold that wife is.

Minor derail, but "Under the Banner of Heaven" by Jon Krakauer is a fantastic book that masterfully braids the stories of the history of the Mormon Church, the modern direction and missions of the Mormon Church, its dark underbelly of extremism, and the harrowing, violent murder of a young Mormon woman and her 4 year old daughter "in the name of prophecy." Absolute must-read.

Warbadger posted:Part of being grown up means understanding that you are an adult and consequently you don't actually need your SO's parents to accept your marriage. Neither you nor your SO should need your parents to make the big boy/girl decisions. Marrying someone whose family detests you/vice versa, might be considered a poor decision. Is your SO willing to cut all ties? Are you? If not, I’d reassess the relationship. I grew up with a grandma who despised her daughter’s husbands (and was vocal about it) and did everything to break up their marriages. Grandma was manipulative, abusive and overall probably not worth the hassle if you were going to do things over again with hindsight. Asking “hey do you mind if I marry your daughter/son/dragonkin,” is part of the fact-finding mission you should undertake. If they can’t hold their tongue on a gimme question like that, don’t think they won’t be trying to jump in every time there’s an opening after the wedding to spill poison from their throats.

Milotic posted:It can be a poverty thing. My understanding is that in America it can be especially bad amongst poor African American children. I seem to remember a story on the BBC about a group drowning at a disused quarry due to lack of swimming pools and lessons. But this guy has a private pool, can afford professional instruction and is going on a cruise, so it’s not a poverty thing now if it ever was, so gently caress him. Not being able to swim and being on a boat puts himself and other people at risk. He’s a liability. Back when Action Park was in its most infamous period in the 70s and 80s, they suffered a ton of near-drownings (and several actual drownings). One of the reasons attributed was its relative proximity to places like New York City, Pittsburgh, and other urban centers in a time when water parks weren't a huge thing across the United States. A lot of guests came from these places and had never learned how to swim, and they didn't realize how deep the pools were until they were underwater. Apparently they even put out Spanish advertisements without having a lot of Spanish-speaking staff! I learned to swim thanks to Disney, funny enough. I live about 45-60 minutes from Walt Disney World, and back in the 90s and early 2000s my mom and I would often go to Disney resorts for "staycations" when she could get cheap room rates. Even when we weren't actually staying at a hotel, we would sneak into the pools because at that time they weren't really putting any effort into keeping the rabble out. I spent many hours as a child in Disney resort pools.

Payday loans in the UK can run up to 5000%. No I didn't mistype. Thankfully I've never had to have one but hearing a commercial for a short term loan on the radio and hearing the APR mumbled at the end is always hilarious and sad to me. Supposedly they've had to crackdown a little on that because shockingly they'd pull someone in and get them into a cycle of debt repayment/late fees they'd never escape from. It's weird though because the UK has alot of consumer protection that the US doesn't really have but there's things like Bailiffs that can steal your poo poo for your debts and banks can charge you insane daily penalties for overdraft fees.

Yeah. Also people are just really stupid about their sex parts sometimes. So I can see the guy having some hilariously bad preconceived notions that would make him demand a partner with "low mileage." We had a goon in one of these threads talking about how he had to loosen his partner up when he met her and keep her regularly stretched out or else. I even had a girlfriend who would keep track of how many times we had sex based on some kind of internal schedule she had devised to keep herself from ruining her vagina. Her goal was to save enough vagina to have a child and have vagina leftover or something? I dunno.

ArbitraryC posted:Is it sexist if I'd be kinda turned off by a partner knowing everyone in her friends circle had banged her? I think its probably fair for someone to value sex as something "special" or important enough in some way that they choose not to have it with everyone they know. If you find out the person you're with doesn't feel that way about sex, then that's a different in values, and would of course be a point of friction (hurr hurr). But insecure little babies, who are dating someone because it makes them feel good about themselves rather than because they feel a deeper connection to the other person, feel like they aren't 'special' if their partner used to sleep around because their feelings of self worth are tied directly to the amount of evidence (and lack of controverting evidence) that their partner thinks they are 'special.'

This was originally from a movie btw, so don't think Mr. Reddit vaginileage was inventive or anything. It was just used in the movie to calculate the miles of unused vagina based upon average penis size being smaller than the average vagina.
