In response to a commenter who asked "why only those two positions?"


Don't date insecure people
Don't date masturbators
Don't date childish and vindictive people
Don't date honest people
Don't date

Do these people know you can do more than one position in a single Sex? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

I'm imagining this girl riding him for like 45 minutes while they're both crying and she's begging him to finish and they just can't figure out how to get out of this situation.

Once, when I broke up with a girl, her father told me that he was really going to miss having me around but that I was totally dodging several bullets and was glad I had the stones to end it before things got worse.

It was unprompted and weirdly helpful. I still miss that alcoholic blacksmith. Not so much the daughter. I like to think if any of my kids end up being assholes to their partners, I’ll be the same way.
It's really easy when someone is telling you something stupid even if they're your kid. GF's offspring was talking about moving in with their fiance and getting a dog someday but they'd have to keep the dog out of some space of the place as the fiance is allergic to dogs. GF without missing a beat called the kid out on being selfish and that they need to be aware their fiance is a spineless wimp* who will do nearly anything so don't be taking advantage of it. You don't get to have a dog & live with someone that allergic to them, stop it.

*We don't like the fiance at all and can only hope they don't reproduce before this finally flames out

Once you commit to a position you have to see it through without switching or the sex police will fine you, at least in most US states.

My fiancee and I got a dog, she is allergic, it was ultimately her choice to get the dog though.

Oh also there was the guy who told me his “love language” was being able to gently caress me at any time and his was that if we ever moved in together he’d do the dishes “sometimes”

He tried this before we even kissed, and before he knew I had a loving dishwasher lol

Is it really necessary to codify and catalogue how people show their love for one another? Turning human intimacy into a set of rules from a supplementary D&D 3.5e rulebook kind of sucks the joy out of loving someone.

Nobody in modern life understands nuance and subtlety any more. We all need rules and checklists handed to us, and all behavior must be understood in a direct input output format (learn coding, children). I can't claim to be an exception.

The love languages thing is like the Myers-Briggs personality types. It's a tool designed to make people introspect for a moment and improve communication.

For some reason people on the internet use them both like people used horoscopes back in the 70s.

Oh I'm INTJ so asking me to leave my goon cave is abuse.

But yeah the love languages thing is odd. I would hope that you would be able to pick up on what your SO is doing to make you feel loved. That book just sounds like it exists so you can say "see? I'm doing this right here I dont need to improve myself at all."

It's the opposite, it's like if you're an established couple and you both feel unhappy and unappreciated so you go to marriage counseling. It's for self-improvement, both "they love me and I need to recognize what they've been doing to show it" and "I love them and I need to act in a way that will make them feel it more."

That one woman is using it in a crazy abusive way, but she could probably turn any relationship book or strategy into a crazy abusive thing because that's how crazy abusers work.

My (33f) ex husband (37m) divorced 3 years, married 11, has my face tattooed on his chest. I would like him to get it covered but he refuses since it's his body. Is there anything I can do about this?

quote:

Those of you who follow the front page will note there was a sort of a similar story today. No I am not any of the people from that post however it did remind me that I have this long standing issue out there that most of the time I don't think about, but when I do it drives me f-ing crazy.

Basically, I married my ex way too young and we had an 11 year disaster of a marriage that included substance abuse on both our parts, emotional abuse on both our parts and physical abuse by him. I got clean when I was 30 and since he refused to and I realized I'd be dead by the time I was 35 if I stayed with him I had to leave.

We still have a family connection..my sister is married to his brother in law and we live in a smallish town so we still see each other more than I would like. I have managed to move on, he still says that we are soul mates and somehow we'll be together.

The thing that drive me insane is right after we were married he got a tattoo of my face on his chest. Even as a super high, EDM and MDMA addicted 19 year old I hated it. I mean HATED it but since we were married I didn't make too big of deal out it.

But when we got divorced, I offered every concession (granted which wasn't much, we didn't have anything) in order to get him to cover the tattoo. He refused. This really bothers me but again I figured there's nothing I can do. But in the last 3 years he's posted maybe 100ish pictures of himself shirtless on facebook or instagram and what invariably happens is someone will see it then see me, text me, FB message me and say one of two things "He still has that tattoo?" or "I'm so glad/dissapointed you guys are back together."

I haven't had any sort of discussion with him about it for 3ish months when he posted lots of shirtless pictures over the summer but seeing that post on the front page brought this all back. I think he uses it as a way to keep me in touch with him because he knows it annoys me. I've offered to pay for it to be covered up but he always tells me "It's my body, i can do whatever I want with it."

So basically, what can I do about this?

tl;dr: ex husband has my face tattooed on his chest and I want him to get it covered. He won't, what can I do about it?

Mar 28, 2010

Nothing.

I mean his decision was questionable, but it's his body. Though now I'm wondering what the law says if it were a tattoo of something that could be considered libel or slander, and given there is also a history of abuse it gets pretty murky.

Is cooking a nice dinner or baking stuff an act of service or a gift? Seems like it could be described as both.

Really any act of service that could be bought seems like it overlaps with gifts. Even cleaning or w/e could theoretically be purchased via housecleaners.

It's not necessarily a chore getting done, it's the other person going out of their way to do something nice for you. Like, making a cup of tea or fetching a pillow or running an errand. Putting the bathroom heater on when you know the other person's about to hop in the shower on a chilly morning or making them a casserole when they're going through a rough patch or helping them apply aloe to a sunburn or whatever. It's thinking of someone and then putting in real actual effort, however slight, to make their life easier/better. But yeah there's some overlap in there for sure.

The bad tattoo is more the property of the tattoo artist than the woman, mostly because it's a stylized likeness of a person created by an artist. If the art was obscene or something she might have a case, but laws regarding tattoo ownership are surprisingly complicated http://theconversation.com/who-owns-your-tattoo-maybe-not-you-56050
