My first Twitter search for thinspo turns up a woman talking about how she either needs to starve or recover, and how she has to remind herself that 800 calories a day isn't very much.

Yeah saying that thinspo is only said to promote eating disorders because fat people are angry is a very weird jump.

Isn't that mostly a narcissistic fattie interpretation. Like someone posts their transformation they worked hard at with before and after pictures, tag it #thinspo, and haes people flip the gently caress out.

I mean I'm sure anorexia and other eating disorders are common among instagram models but I've also seen pretty mundane stuff about weight loss posted by minor celebrities and mommy bloggers treated like their success was an insult to fats and encouraged eating disorders.

Haha, nope. Stuff like thinspo is pro-ana and other eating disorder cult garbage to keep young women "inspired" to stick with their scary weight issues. It's legit horrifying. Nice try though!

I (20f) slept with a married man (32m) and I feel extremely guilty about it.

quote:

Obviously using a throwaway for this one.

I recently started babysitting this 8 year old girl every Wednesday. The family is super rich, they live in a huge house and her parents are professionals (both lawyers). I don't really like the woman, she's very bitter and grumpy all the time. She doesn't like me at all. However her husband is always super nice to me and there was always this sexual tension between us. He buys me gifts (his wife doesn't give a poo poo), offers me rides home and always compliments me. I was attracted to him simply because he was good looking and maybe a little arrogant.

This last Wednesday, he unexpectedly came from work earlier than usual. Long story short: we were having sex whilst his daughter was watching Disney Channel in her room. We first started making out and then ended up on his bed. It just escalated.

This is the part where I should say that I have a boyfriend. We've been together for 3 years. Yeah I know, I'm a lovely human being. I hate myself for doing this. My boyfriend actually bought me flowers roughly 2 days after this happened. I know I'm awful so please don't bother calling me a bitch.

What do I do now? Should I tell my boyfriend what I did or should I just break up? Should I tell the guys wife? I feel extremely guilty and I don't know what to do.

TL;DR Slept with a married man whose daughter I'm babysitting. I don't know how/what to tell my boyfriend. I'm also not sure if I should tell the guys wife.

EDIT: okay before 10 other people point it out: I'm not saying he buys me lavish gifts, it's just small things. His wife doesn't care because I assume she's used to him doing that kinda stuff. She just tells him that the "money is enough". I don't know why she doesn't really care, they don't seem to like each other anyway.

(UPDATE) I (20f) slept with a married man (32m) and I feel extremely guilty about it.

quote:

The first thing I wanted to do was to quit my babysitting job but as I was driving to the family's house, I got a loooong text from the guys wife. I deleted it from my history but copied it down:

Listen you little homewrecking whore. I know what you two did. Do you think I'm loving stupid? How dare you gently caress my husband while my daughter is watching cartoons downstairs? Is that your thing? Going around, loving people's husbands in the presence of children? You are the most disgusting piece of poo poo I've ever seen.

You probably thought I didn't notice your flirting, your stupid giggling and all the sexual innuendos. I know slutty college girl behaviour when I see it and you're no different. It didn't take long for you to spread your legs and that's what makes you more pathetic, you absolute whore.

Please don't think you're special. My husband doesn't love you, he loves ME. He doesn't give a poo poo about you. He thinks you're a stupid and naive little school girl. He simply sees you as an object you can stick your dick into, nothing more. I'm just baffled people like you exist. Do your parents know they raised a slut?

I have contacted your boyfriend a few minutes ago and he knows what happened. Don't bother stepping into my house because I don't want my little girl to be around a cheating bimbo. I wish you all the best in your search for new cocks.


Not gonna lie, this text is RUDE as hell and I was actually pissed at her. She didn't like me from the beginning and used this opportunity to attack me. I also don't understand why she's acting like her husband is innocent.

After I got that text, I drove to my (now ex) bf's house. We had a huge argument that ended with him breaking up with me. I started crying and told him I was sorry and he replied "you weren't sorry when you were riding his dick". I don't even know why everyone is blaming ME and not the husband? It's not solely my fault and I'm not the one who initiated sex. Am I missing something here?

I know it doesn't seem that way, but I'm incredibly upset right now. I absolutely hate cheaters because my dad used to cheat on my mom and it wrecked me. I loved my bf so much and I want him back but I don't think he'll ever forgive me.

TL;DR I followed Reddit's advice and decided I want to quit my job, but I didn't want to tell my bf what I did. On the way to the family I received a text from the guys wife and she basically called me all names under the sun. She was extremely defensive over her husband, even though he clearly cheated on her. My bf broke up with me in the most insulting way possible and kicked me out of his house. We haven't spoken since but I want him back in my life.I understand that I hosed up big time but it feels like I'm the only one whose being blamed.

Edit: okay this post is making it sound like I had sex within earshot of their daughter. it was NOT like that, I would NOT do that. We had sex on the 3rd floor which is far far away from where she was. hope that's cleared up and I look a little less twisted.

I have no mouth and I must post
My [M21] best friend [M21] is in a LDR of 3 years with a woman [F20] that he has never met IRL, yet stays committed even though it plays with his emotions in all the wrong ways.

quote:

I'll start by trying to explain the whole situation in better detail: About three years ago my friend, "James", met with this girl, "Ruby", online through the wonders of Xbox Live. One thing led to another and they both say they are officially together, and plan on seeing each other in the near future. Now this honestly shouldn't be as hard as it sounds, as they live an hour away by plane. Anyway, over the past three years, James and Ruby have been talking almost every night, had their Skype calls and all that, and I have even talked to her when I have been around at James' place, so I can confirm she is real and this isn't a massive catfish.

I'm all for my mate to have found someone, the thing that gets me though is that it always seems so hard for the two of them to see each other, even when it wouldn't be that hard. James always makes 90% of the effort when it comes to pitching ideas and dates to fly over to see Ruby, but it is always the same old story. "Oh I can't come over cause my annual leave didn't get approved," or "You've caught me on a bad weekend." or something along those lines. Worst one of the lot was Ruby actually came into our city on a cruise ship and James had said he just wanted to catch up for an hour for a coffee or something along those lines, but it seems Ruby had a line for him that day as well, "I can't see you because I am on a family cruise and my Dad won't let me go and meet you because he paid for the trip."

James was pretty devastated after this, contemplating about breaking up because he couldn't do this anymore, deal with the disappointment at every turn. But he decided once again to give another chance, and another, and another, all the while I can see in his eyes that he is just becoming more numb with each attempt being shut down.

I honestly don't know what to do anymore, I have tried to talk to him, saying that she isn't as into this as he is, and that we don't know whether she is being as faithful to him as he is to her. The fact that they both claim to be going out for three years yet no physical interaction or even a Facebook relationship update or something like that would be big red flags, right?

I need help in what I can say to him or even what to ask to see if he is doing alright, cause I can just see him getting worn down more and more each time, and it hurts to see as he is my best friend. Am I just being an rear end in a top hat or am I looking out for him, because I don't want to be all high and mighty telling him what is right and wrong but I just feel after three years, enough is enough...

TLDR: My best friend is in a LDR of 3 years without ever meeting the girl and is being worn down by attempts to meet her every time with weak excuses.

Like yeah she's right she's not the only cheater in this equation and it's hosed up for people to act like she is but I feel most sorry for the little girl in the equation, not for the 20 year old. I bet the 32 year old guy does this habitually, too.

Also it's not actually good to leave a 6 year old that unsupervised, if you were so far away from her in the house. Which, 3rd story? Sounds huge.

She's not really right. We don't know what the wife said to the husband, and her boyfriend has no real reason to give a gently caress about that guy's part in it. Her crying over her boyfriend not acknowledging that the guy also did something wrong is just dumb. It's not like they were best friends or something, it seems like the boyfriend never even met the husband; he didn't betray his trust, he's just a lovely guy he hasn't ever met.

The girl is a lovely person and a retard trying desperately to deflect and blame other people for her brutal self own.

I think the wife’s anger at her is also at least partially justified because she’s not just some random stranger either, but someone she trusted enough to let into her home, enough to watch her kid.

I mean, yeah, there’s not a direct connection between watching the kid and loving the husband but its easy to see how the wife might feel betrayed by her in a way the boyfriend doesn’t feel betrayed by the husband.

Sounds borderline delusional that stuff about hating cheaters. Also the bit where she feels her bf is blaming her solely because it takes two to tango. I mean, why would the bf care about this guy if he doesn't know him? :psyduck:

The whole thing sounds like the script to a cheap porn flick except it keeps going and shows you in excruciating detail all the negative consequences to make you uncomfortable. Perhaps a porno as directed by Werner Herzog.

My browsing is turning up a lot of lovely people today

My [25F] husband [31M] has admitted to me that he hasn’t touched me in weeks because I don’t want him drinking alcohol. I don’t know what to do.

quote:

Hello All! I’m hoping this is in the right place. I’m a 25f and my spouse is a 31M. We’ll call him Matthew.

Before I begin, I did want to include that Matthew has a history of “keeping himself” from me if he is not getting his way. He does this physically and emotionally.

Matt has always had substance abuse issues and alcohol has caused a horrible strain on our relationship. We’ve been together since 2012 and have 1 child. His mother passed away in 2014 and after that, his alcohol use got ten times worse. I would never know who I was gong to be dealing with when I got home. He has driven drunk with my son and even yelled at both of us and told my son that his mom doesn’t love him. I can’t include every horrible detail . It’s too much to type and I don’t think I have room. All of this went on for about 3 years until I had enough and found a therapist for us and begged him to attend rehab. He refused to go to rehab and denied that he had any problem at all. I was planning to move out when he finally caved in to go to therapy.

Fast forward to now, and everything has seemed to get better. Or so I thought. Eventually, He traded one devil for another. Now he uses marijuana and he smokes EVERY night. He almost missed out on a great job opportunity because of this. I didn’t really mind the smoking at first but when I noticed how much money was being spent on it and how often it was being done, I started to get concerned. Every time I try to talk to him about it he gets so angry. He acts as if I just have a problem with everything he does and I “won’t let him do anything”. The other night we were having a talk due to him not touching me for weeks and always trying to leave the house when he gets off. He told me he doesn’t feel like it due to me having an issue with his drinking and smoking. He also said that if I don’t want him to drink here, he just won’t come home. I can’t afford our house alone on just my income. I don’t know what to do. I don’t think it’s right to not do anything with your spouse just because you aren’t getting your way. I’m so lonely . Any advice would be appreciated. My apologies for rambling. I’m a mess right now.

TL;DR My spouse has substance abuse problems and keeps himself from me physically and emotionally In order to get his way.

I [21F] want to tell my very stubborn and very atheist parents [50sM/50sF] that I am becoming Catholic and will be baptized in 3 months. Help!

quote:

BACKGROUND: My mother was raised in a Christian household but never really held her faith. My dad on other hand is a very ignorant person who thinks that religions are scams so places of worship can get money. He constantly brings up how terrible the church is and how he thinks people are stupid for believing in something like God.

I was raised completely hidden from anything religious. I didn't know anything about any religion until senior year of high school when one of my class covered world religions. Although my parents wrote notes to my teacher and met with the school's principal to try to get me out of the class, I had to take it to graduate high school. As they finally accepted that I had to take the class, my father started saying even more negative opinions about the church when I was at home.

Fast forward to a year ago, I was having some trouble covering two of my college classes (English and Study of Religion prerequisites courses). My parents very kindly offered to pay half...but on one exception that it didn't go towards the religion class. Anyways, that religion class really opened my eyes and really started my spiritual path. Knowing that my significant other is Catholic, I decided to go to church with him to experience what a church was like. I felt something in my heart that I had never felt before. I felt whole. I felt comfortable there. I decided right then and there that this is where my journey will start.

NOW: I have been secretly taking Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) classes since August now. I am expecting to be baptized around Easter. I feel like I can't hide this from my parents any longer. They need to know but I am afraid they may disown me or kick me out of the house. Where do I start? How can I do this without getting kicked out?

tl;dr: I am getting baptized in 3 months without my stubborn and very atheist parents knowing. I don't know how to tell them what I am doing and I am afraid of being kicked out of the house when I tell them.

EDIT: Some words

I know I’m posting a bunch, but I feel like if I don’t strike now, this OP will end up deleted soon.

My [24/f] kind-of boyfriend [26/m] has been possibly living a double life; also had short relationship with a 16 year old girl. I need help and advice!!

quote:

I’ve been wanting to post for advice in here for years, but never gave myself the chance because I always wind up thinking that no one really cares about other people’s situations. We all have our own poo poo to deal with, so why would a random stranger want to give me advice?

Well I’m now at my breaking point now so I need your help.

Leaving him is not an option.

I (24) met my soulmate—I’ll refer to him as TJ—(26) seven years ago, back in 2010. We’ve been in sort of an “on-again-off-again” relationship the whole time, but for the last 2 or 3 years it’s been way more serious. We talk on the phone every day. Text constantly throughout the day.

We are in love, and he says constantly that he would do anything for me, blah blah. Won’t bore you with mushy details. Just know that there are mushy details.

Before I get into the nitty gritty, I should say that he is clinically depressed, very suicidal, and due to a mysterious medical condition that doctors can’t figure out, it hurts him severely to have sex. He’s had this problem for three years now. So our sex life is almost non-existent. Sometimes he has good days where he can “participate,” but it still hurts him a little. When we do have sex, he says he does it just for me, even though it hurts him.

The reason we have not been in an official relationship for a while is because of the sex thing, the fact that neither of us could find decent jobs, and because every time we did get together in a bf/gf way, it always ended badly. Labels were never a good thing for us.

So for the past several years, we’ve been going out on dates, cuddling on the couch afterwards, kissing, and saying I love you, etc., although we are not exactly in a relationship. It’s very mind-loving for the both of us. We fight a lot because of it. I’ve had a couple of “affairs” on the side because of the lack of sex he’s given me.

In the summer of 2016, I went to Europe for six weeks, met and fell in love with a guy there. It was truly a “summer romance” that died a couple months after I came back to the states. TJ found out about the “love affair,” went hysterical, then started having a lot of sex with me and telling me he wants to make us official as soon as I had come back. We never became official, though, because by that time I was tired of his poo poo. But of course, we did go back to our old ways of being together but not really together.

In April 2017, I moved to a big city 3 hours away. I had to. I’m not a small town girl, and I got a nice job offer. Being apart has been very hard on both of us. Sometimes he talks about moving here with me, but he’s a small town type of guy, hates big cities, and would be miserable here. But he still looks for jobs here every once in a while so we can be together.

The last couple of months (Nov/Dec) have been some of the best months for us “relationship” wise. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder. Every time we see each other now, it’s like a fairy-tale and just perfect. We spent Christmas together in my hometown with both of our families, and he came to my big city for the New Years’ weekend. Our NYE was perfect, romantic, special. We kissed after the countdown and couldn’t stop.

But that night.

I did something I never should have done.

I snooped through his phone while he was passed out drunk, and I broke my own heart.

1) He had an album in his photos full of screenshots of hot girls he’s friends with on fb. Some in bikinis at the beach, some with cleavage spilling out, etc. Hot selfies of girls he could never get with in real life. He obviously gets off to the girls in that album. But whatever, that’s not even the bad part. That’s typical guy stuff right?

2) He had his own “love affair” in April, the month I moved. But………… the girl……. is 16. 10th grade. I want to loving throw up. There were screenshots of messages between them that he had saved in photos on his phone. Him saying her voice “melts” him; how happy they make each other; calling each other babe, and just a bunch of other poo poo that I CAN.NOT.STOP.THINKING.ABOUT. I haven’t slept in 2 days. Again, this was in April, so 8 months ago. It ended then too, but gently caress. What the hell??? I had my own love affair, but the guy was NOT ten years younger than me and in high school. Also, from the messages, it was very much a secret. It was with one of his friend’s younger sisters. They kept talking about not letting him find out.

Their relationship is over, but what do I do about that?? Do I ruin our perfect streak of love and happiness and confront him about this? Do I tell his friend, the brother of the girl? Do I not worry about the age thing and give him a pass since we both have had our little love affairs by now?

3) He was sexting a very ugly girl. Very recently. I know TJ’s type, and it’s not fat and ugly. From the messages, it looked like he was just messing around with the girl, playing her. She asked for a ‘cock pic,’ he never sent her one. He said she probably gives bad head, but they were still sexting. He never responded to the last couple of messages she sent him, so I feel like he was just being a jerk and probably horny.

Disclaimer: just because it hurts him to have sex, doesn’t mean he doesn’t get horny. He does have a poo poo ton of sexual frustration built up in him, so I should give him a pass for harmlessly sexting some random fat chick, especially since we weren’t officially together, right?

4) He lied about not trying to get with some girl that I was suspicious of a while back. I found out that he was definitely trying to date this certain girl, but thankfully, she constantly turned him down. Now, they’re friends, and surprisingly, he talked about me in their recent texts, about how sad he was that I was gone. But still, several months ago, he was trying to get with her hardcore, and he lied to me about it and made me feel crazy for having suspicions.

5) He was texting some girl about another girl he really liked and how he hosed it up with her, trying to get advice. This was back in early October. He always tells me he’s not interested in dating anyone but me, and could never see himself with anyone else. So I don’t understand why he was getting advice from a girl’s friend on how to win her back. I’ve never even heard of this girl.

6) He’s been trying to “take out” a couple of other random girls he talks to. It’s harmless texting, and he’s never gone through with it from what I’ve read in the messages, but he has asked a lot of girls things like “when are you going to let me take you out to dinner?”

Obviously he’s been trying to get with girls this whole time, but can I be mad about it? I think I can’t. I can be jealous, of course, but I don’t think I can be mad. So, I’m asking you guys, what do I do? Confront him? Let it be?

One more thing. After I went through his phone, the next morning I asked him if we could finally be official. He said yes, he’s been wanting that for a while too and thinks it’s time. Like I said, we’re at a really good spot in our lives right now.

I asked him to be official with me, not only because I think it’s time, but also because I hate seeing him trying to get with other girls. I know that if we are actually in a relationship, that he wouldn’t cheat on me. At least that’s what I’m telling myself. What do you think? Was I stupid for asking to be official after seeing all of that on his phone? Or do you think he will stop his messaging of other girls since he’s in an actual relationship with me now? I just don’t know what to do. I can’t leave him, and the thought of him trying to get with other girls after everything he has told me really hurts me to where I haven’t been able to sleep. Help!

tl;dr: The guy I've been on again/off again with for 7 years has lied to me about trying to see other girls, has creepy screenshots on his phone of hot girls, was in a short-lived relationship with a 16 year old, and I just asked him if we could be official after I found all of that out. What in the world is wrong with me?

My [24/f] kind-of boyfriend [26/m] has been possibly living a double life; also had short relationship with a 16 year old girl. I need help and advice!!

They're both awful people so it is good that she refuses to leave him

I would ask her what magic spells the priest says to turn the crackers and wine into flesh and blood of a dead guy.

Sounds like she's desperately searching for a community to belong to and there are massively worse ones to be in than the Catholic Church. All the adult Catholic converts I've ever met are like that, and conflate non-religion with a hatred or disavowal of community.

The death of bowling leagues in america doomed this woman to wasting her sundays.

It’s pretty complicated. There are some people I’m pretty close too (it’s platonic!) I could ask, but it’s all Greek to me.

It's almost as if some people derive psychological comfort from ritual, spirituality, and the feeling of being part of a community.

Perhaps someone would find deeper comfort in that after having been denied that experience their entire lives.


But lol sky wizard I guess.

I'm (34F) worried about bf's (38M) social media activity

quote:

We have been together for 3 months to the day and so far it's been good. My only concern is his social media activity.

I'm not a fan of Snapchat so we don't snap a lot. However, his snap score goes up on average by 30 a day. He has over 2500 followers on Instagram (85% are women) and he has recently added his Snapchat user name to his Instagram bio.

Last night, he popped up on my Facebook "people you may know". I sent him a friend request that he is yet to respond to. I was able to see some of his recent posts and one was a cozy picture of him and a girl he says is "just a friend". The comments under the picture were all exclaiming how a lovely couple they made and how good it is to finally see them together. Both he and the girl liked these comments. He didn't correct his friends that she's "just a friend" as he told me.

I'm unsure of how to proceed as all of this feels shady to me, coupled with his social media activity. Are they seeing other?

Any advice is appreciated.

Tl;dr: Concerns about bf's social media activity and recent cozy posts of him and a "friend" that might actually be his girlfriend.

lol this one's a twofer
