My coffee warned me about it.


My boyfriend [22M] and I️ [22F] were just kicked out of our DnD group for displaying small amounts of PDA.

quote:

Basically, we received a message from our DM (also my boyfriends best-friend). Telling us to sit across the table from each other or gtfo.

My boyfriend and I have already spoken with each other about holding back on the PDA while with this group of friends, but they still call us out for any little thing we do. From my perspective we just do simple things like hold hands, a pat on the shoulder, etc. But they’re still saying it’s too much.

My boyfriend and I really look forward to this Sunday game, but at this point we feel they’re being ridiculous!

Any suggestions reddit?

TL;DR Basically our friends our being lovely and telling us to stop being a couple or gtfo of there DnD campaign.

We've had a couple who would literally make out in D&D sessions, and we'd just ask them to tone it down a bit. This was in Israel, though.

Either the "etc" is a lot more than she's letting on or the rest of the group is the most incel of incels. Or maybe both! I've known a handful of couples who are apparently literally incapable of not making out/groping each other when within 10 feet of one another and say "oh we're not doing anything!" when called out.

Depends on the region. I'm from the rural South, and our school had a ban on kissing in the halls between classes that they enforced pretty well. (People just went into the bathroom in the less-used buildings, behind the school, or kissed after school before going home.) I was shocked when I later compared notes with friends from other places and found out that in the halls of their schools, people just straight-up used that as their makeout time, sometimes with grinding all over each other.

I became pregnant a month into our relationship. I was very depressed (still working on it), as I just got out of a very abusive relationship, and was kicking some pretty bad addictions, so I felt I wasn't ready to have a baby.
I decided to have an abortion, and he made me feel like a murderer/ was doing everything he possibly could to talk me out of it, including telling his mom on me who did the same thing. The family who I did tell were furious with him, and are still trying to find it in themselves to forgive him. It's all in a previous post I made on this same account but eh. Admitting this is probably going to make me seem like a total mental case for trying to make things work out between us on top of this, rightfully so I imagine.

Wife and I [39F&39M] moved and there's a wrestling ring in our back yard. Our kids [13M, 8F&7M] want to keep it so they can fight. Wife wants to get rid of it.

On the one hand, spinal cord injuries. On the other hand, having a wrestling ring in the back would be super awesome for kids those ages, and they won't likely forgive their mother if she forces them to have it removed. They will TOTALY be powerbombing each other though.

I’ve (23f) lived with my BF (29m) for 6 months now and he just annoys me. He says these are normal growing pains, I think it might be a larger issue. Help?

quote:

Background, I’ve been with my boyfriend for about three years now. He was in between places so we decided that to save some money and has her compatibility he would move into my apartment about six months ago. We always had a really good relationship before this and I had always assumed we’d be together but I have to admit that I’m a person who enjoys my space and it wasn’t long before I felt like he was intruding into a pretty good deal that I had set up for myself.

So along with that, it wasn’t long before many of his mannerisms just started to get on my nerves. For example he clears his throat a lot which just annoys me, he also yawns more than other people and those are just the involuntary things he does. He also Listens to his headphones with the noise clearly audible to me, he likes really bad rap music and turns the bass way up and he also whistles all the time.

I’ve tried to be cool with him and tell him that some of these things bother me and he’ll make an effort for like three days and then will be back to normal for him. Yesterday I sat down and I said that I need to have a serious talk with him that some of these things are becoming bigger issues to me and he’s not taking me seriously. He basically blew me off and said that these are the normal growing pains of living together and that will get used to each other as time goes on.

I can’t help but think in my head that these are signals of a larger compatibilityIssue. I’m not blaming him for saying that either one of us is at fault but I just can’t see living my life where I feel like I have to hide in another room because the other person is just irritating me and maybe I’m too sensitive I’m not afraid to admit that but I am who I am just like he is who he is. Does anyone have any advice?

tl;dr: After six months of living together a lot of things my boyfriend does irritate me.

Those reasons sound like excuses but honestly "I felt like he was intruding into a pretty good deal that I had set up for myself" reads like it's coming from somebody who isn't able to live with a partner anyway.

Me [27F] with my mother in law [65F] of 5 years, is it ungrateful to ask her to stop buying jewelry for my husband to give me?

quote:

Every single year, my husband and I agree not to give each other Christmas presents. We both feel like we buy ourselves what we want already, and don't enjoy gift-giving or receiving that much.

My mother in law, "Patricia," believes that "all women deserve to get jewelry for Christmas." I don't wear any jewelry (even my wedding ring) both because I don't like it and it's not practical for me.

Every single year, without fail, Patricia buys a piece of jewelry and has my husband give it to me for Christmas. Sometimes it's cheap, and sometimes it costs hundreds of dollars.

Every year I ask my husband not to do it again, and every year his mom railroads/ignores him and does it anyway.

I'm considering going straight to the source, and telling Patricia, I appreciate the thought, but please stop buying me jewelry. I don't wear it and it isn't a good use of :siren:our:siren: money.

I'm worried that it makes me sound ungrateful and rude, since the right thing to do with a gift is simply to say thank you and move on. I'm also worried that she'll respect the letter of the request, but not the spirit of it, and buy my husband something else to give to me.

Should I just keep my mouth shut and graciously thank her for whatever she insists on buying this year, or is it okay etiquette-wise to try to get out ahead of it this time and ask her not to do it?

tl;dr: My husband's mom buys jewelry for him to give me every year, I don't want it and would like her to stop.

Not as bad as the guy wanting to buy his mom a boob job, but the MIL buys her jewelry she has expressly said she does not want, and the husband reimburses her.

Is that part in a comment somewhere? I see the "our money" part, but is that explicitly established? Because if the MIL is buying it and not being paid back, then still absolutely annoying, but a different thing than if the husband is paying her back.

If you pay for something demand a receipt. She never wears jewelry anyway so return it and no one's the wiser.
