Yeah identifying with the mass-market pop culture enough to make it a part of your lifelong declaration of love is disturbing to me in the way that identifying with the kind of sex you have isn't.

on the contrary last year i attended a wedding at the old JAX brewery building on jackson square in new orleans, the food was a mix of lebanese vegan and southern bbq, and after all the old people went to bed the remainder of the wedding party embarked a drunken ramble through the french quarter forty strong that lasted until dawn and that wedding loving owned

Its easier for me to sit through a wedding where the bride and grooms processional song is the Donner Superman Theme and the glassware all says “with great love comes great responsibility” than it is to sit through a wedding where the groom crawls to the alter on all fours dragged by a collar and nude except a diaper.

submitted 5 years ago * by only_one_contact

I [21F] have been going out with my boyfriend [19M] for five months. He is kind to me, seems to be mostly emotionally healthy, smart, doesn't mind my offbeat sense of humor, and we have a lot of fun doing all sorts of activities together. The thing is, I was never particularly physically attracted to him, and lately it has been increasingly difficult for me to engage in sex acts with him. I typically have a relatively high sex drive, but for the past few weeks I have been making up excuses to avoid sex, which is a chicken-poo poo move on my part and not fair to him either.

Another important piece of information is that our relationship already had an expiration date (the end of May 2013) from the beginning, since I am moving to another state and he is going to Europe for a year. (Neither of us wants to pursue a long-distance arrangement.)

I am unsure how to proceed with this relationship. In my ideal fantasy world, I would somehow rekindle attraction for him and proceed as before until May. Another option would be to break up with him, but I hesitate to jump to this step, since I do genuinely enjoy his company. Advice on what I should do? Hold out until May? Break up? Some other option I'm not thinking of?

tl;dr: not attracted to my otherwise kind, fun, and funny boyfriend.

That doesn't sound like a theme wedding, though? Unless the theme is "getting drunk and having a good time," one of the very few acceptable themes for a wedding reception.

I think it's okay to have one or two nods to pop culture you like, but once you've gotten to the point where it's the theme of your wedding is going way past that. Like, something can have a personal meaning to you despite being mass-market pop culture!

Not feeling physically attracted to my [21F] otherwise wonderful boyfriend [19M]


i'm not attracted to him and we're about to break up anyway what do i do reddit. gawrsh.

quote:

Ok when we first started dating, I didn't really realize the extent of the problem. I noticed she didn't drink soda, but didn't make anything of that. That's not a totally unusual preference, right?

Then, on NYE, I brought her a glass a champagne to toast at midnight. She was visibly repulsed and looked at me like I should have known better. Now... I'm clueless and a little taken aback, but I didn't push it any more that night. Set the drinks aside and continued the night like normal.

But the next day, I asked her about it. Turns out, she's absolutely convinced that she's allergic to carbonated beverages. All kinds of carbonated beverages. She hasn't gone to a doctor to confirm this, and after spending some time on Google, I'm not entirely convinced that's a thing. I mean, the thing that makes drinks carbonated is carbon dioxide, which she routinely inhales and exhales.

I haven't confronted her about any of this, and it hasn't really caused any real issues. We have a healthy and loving relationship otherwise and I've never noticed any other, um, quirks like this. But I'll admit it's getting in my head. She claims that, as a kid, any time she drank anything carbonated, she tongue would feel fuzzy and swell up and that she'd have stomach issues for hours. I definitely believe her, but I think maybe she's misattributing what caused those symptoms to carbonation when it might be another ingredient.

I want to ask her to see a doctor to get an allergy test, but I'm worried that she'll think I'm patronizing her. Help?

tl;dr: Girlfriend thinks she's allergic to carbonated drinks. Should I ask her to get that tested?

Barudak posted:

If you read her note, she isnt asking if she should break up because “breaking up is not an option for me”. She wont break up with a person she has concerns may sexually assault any daughter they have together which moves her from “idiot” to “woman claiming on the news she didnt realize her husbands charity she worked full time at existed solely to diddle kids”

I'm not sure I feel strongly enough to actually get pleasure out of scoffing at people getting married in a way they seem happy with. It's disturbing more in the way that sex trafficking is disturbing - I am troubled by the way society has affected these people without wanting to actually deride the individuals involved.

I’ve known him for 12 years and it’s safe to say we’re each other’s best friends. I had a crush on him when I was 15 but it passed since he never really did anything about it, and he did know I liked him.

I’ve been with my fiancé for 6 years. Today my best friend completely out of the blue sends me a message saying he’ll regret it for the rest of his life if he doesn’t tell me this and that he’s an idiot for not having taken the chance when I liked him years ago. That he loves me more than just a friend and he’s liked me for years now but he knows no one will make me as happy as my fiancé. That he’s really sad he will never be with me now.

Got absolutely no idea of how to react or what to reply with. I feel so goddamn awkward about this. I am of course NOT canceling anything. I don’t like him that way anymore. I don’t want to ruin the friendship but at the same time I feel like he just did.

tl;dr: Best friend of 12 years just told me he likes me two days before my wedding. Unsure of what to say.

My boyfriend and I went to a wedding of his friend. It was Nic Cage themed (they got engaged at a Nic Cage festival and the wife had a tattoo from the event on her hamhock of an arm). It was like a ‘dress up as a Nic Cage character’ theme.

I styled a wig and did face paint for Ghost Rider. Only it turned out the entirety of the wedding was ‘sit down, eat a vegan burger, sit through Vampire’s Kiss and then ?????’

My [25M] girlfriend [22F] of 2 years is convinced she's allergic to carbonated beverages

I mean, maybe she actually had a reaction to an ingredient in a soda once, but it can't be the carbonation can it? Just have her sip on a plain soda water and see what happens.
