Straight couples fighting over porn is always so weird to me, it's just not a thing that happens in gay relationships. I guess it is a guy thing? Gay men simply do not give a poo poo if their partner jerks off to porn or not.
This poo poo never happens?

I honestly have no problem with him watching porn, (i do too!) but when it feels like its coming between our sex life then it becomes an issue for me (the morning I found evidence of him watching porn before he went to work, i had instigated sex and he had said no, then gone to look at porn instead).

I dunno about that one but now that you mention it I recall a really weird one about a dude who came home to find his wife/girlfriend just furiously going at it in the living room right in front of the door and when he tried to ask about what the hell was going on she just started holding eye contact and wailing like a banshee.

The post I found wasn’t exactly as I remembered it but I knew the phrase “Satan shitplane” was involved so here it is:

Girlfriend [24/f] masturbates to the same thing I do to get back at me [26/m]?

quote:

We are both in our mid-20's. My girlfriend comes from a super religious household in which she was told constantly that porn and even masturbation is sinful and will get her sent to hell. Recently, she was on my laptop and found some videos I had saved (yes, pornographic ones) and apparently copied them to her computer. I first found this out when I came home one day to her masturbating at her computer, legs completely spread, to one of these videos. While she does this, she does not respond to me when I talk to her or even turn her head. She looks furious as she does this. She has been timing it so that it has happened almost every day since I've come back from work for the past two weeks. She will not hold a conversation with me about it after the fact. This is a girl who would always tell me she never masturbated and that it was sinful. Please help.

TLDR: Confusion

[UPDATE] Girlfriend [24/f] masturbates to the same thing I do to get back at me [26/m]?

quote:

It has been exactly one week since I first posted (link here) about this difficult problem with my girlfriend, and I figured you all deserved an update due to how much you helped me.

A lot of your advice (and I did read and ponder every word) swirled in the back of my head constantly, but I was initially having a tough time accepting my situation for what you all said it was. That this wasn't healthy, that she was crazy, that I was a wuss for taking it, that we had no chance -- I hated the pessimistic reality of it all and I wanted it to be wrong. I wanted to keep faith in us. After two more nights of coming home to her doing the same thing again (and me trying to gently get her to stop with several "hey"s, waving my hand in front of her face, and even whistling to no avail), I finally faced how much I was lying to myself about the true severity of the communication rift between us and how much we lacked the ability to connect on a level that the most basic relationship should have. And I went to sleep in a separate room (I couldn't handle "lying" any longer by sleeping in the same bed as her as if nothing was happening) feeling physically sick.

The third night is when I finally got her attention. I didn't yell at her, I didn't bring her family/friends home with me, I didn't edit the videos to surprise her with my face, I didn't join in with her. I just stood next to her and started reading her a letter which I had taken the time to prepare off and on throughout my work day. Her usually angered expression looked like it actually started to turn sad (maybe even regretful?) as I told her I loved her, and cared for her, and wanted nothing more than for us to work. I even included a poem that her and I had made together about our relationship during better times. She never stopped moving her hands and staring forward as I read, but I did notice tears start to come from her eyes and I started to get teary too. When my letter concluded, I asked her if she wanted to finally stop and she responded by screaming and turning up the volume of the porn, so I took that as her needing time to herself and left.

The next night, I was pleasantly surprised to find her not at the computer, but instead back to her normal hobbies. She still would not acknowledge that she had done anything at all, but this was a huge improvement that I can only imagine getting better as time goes on. Reddit, I think this problem was solved and I could not have done it without you. Thank you so much for your advice and willingness to help to the fullest. You have helped strengthen my relationship with this wonderful girl and I can't imagine life in a more beautiful way.

TL;DR: Problem nearly solved, things only getting better due to your advice. Thank you so much.

And the conclusion...

Long-awaited update about this psycho b who masturbated to my porn to prove some twisted point

quote:

I don't know how many of you will remember me, but I'm one who had this problem and this subsequent problem (which I at the time didn't realize was a problem). I am happy to say that this psycho bitch is no longer my girlfriend, and if things go as I want them to, no longer in my life at all.

Things were going really well, everything just fine and dandy, for over a month after I read her my heartfelt letter. Yet again, however, your comments were swirling in the back of my mind and it wasn't enough for me that this girl I shared a home with was smiling, bubbly, happy, back to 'normal', whatever -- because she never spoke about what she did. I didn't bring it up myself because I thought she would come to me and maybe even apologize about it when she was ready, but nope, she just hummed around the house like some sort of innocent princess.

Well, recently she was cooking dinner and I was just sitting at the table staring at her, thinking about everything and feeling my blood boil. I didn't understand how she could act this way, how she could just do something so deranged and then cover it up. And I realized with the way things were going, she was never going to acknowledge her behavior or take responsibility for her actions. So I finally said something, but I hid my rage by speaking slowly and calmly: "So what was that thing with you masturbating?"

I realized it was another pretend-she-didn't-hear-me moment for her as she just stood still for a while in silence, so I sighed and said something like "We'll just talk about it whenever you're comfortable." Apparently that set her off. She opened up the kitchen drawer to show me a photo of an actress that I apparently had complimented during a movie while screaming "You find her attractive? You find her attractive?" and pointing at her face. I started screaming over her "so what if I find her attractive" over and over until, yes, she got a knife. I immediately backed away in the sinking realization that she might actually be crazy enough to stab me, but she then pointed the knife at herself, or more specifically her vagina, and said she "didn't even need it" because I "don't appreciate it" and "no one has genitals in the afterlife". I didn't want to be around for it to escalate further so I booked out of there while she hurled insults at me. Right away I called her mom, since her parents live very closeby, but her mom didn't even let me finish explaining before she was screaming at me over the phone saying she "knew what I did" and that I was a "Satan shitplane" so I hung up and had to ignore her literally 37 calls afterward.

Long story short, all of my contact with this girl from now on will be through writing if I can control it. I'm staying with a friend now while this stuff gets sorted. I'm not really sure what my next step will be, but you guys deserve a thank you for all of your advice as well as an apology from me for not seeing the light sooner. Hopefully this will be the last time I update or even think about this chick and her hosed up family. Bye.

TLDR: Girlfriend is now ex-girlfriend due to insanity, and her mom is just as bad.

My (31M) dad (64M) killed my mother (61F) 11 months ago in an act of self defense. My sister (26F) refuses to believe it was self defense, and now is refusing to talk to me. I pay my sisters bills for the most part, and I don't know if I should continue if she is going to not talk to me.

quote:

My parents have always had a horrible relationship, but it got dramatically worse when my sister moved out. One day, we got a call that was horrifying. My mother was apparently chasing my father around with a knife, and they ran outside of the house into the street. Neighbors saw, 3 people tried to tackle her to the ground, in the end she got too close to my dad and my dad was forced to shoot her in self defense. The reason why my mother was so mad? My mom was going through withdrawal symptoms. We found out after she died that for the past year, since my sister moved out, my mother became a heroin addict. My father had enough, so he told her she has to stay in her bedroom, he tried locking the door so she goes cold turkey. He said that when she is done, he is leaving her, and that he has been seeing another women for the past 4 months. My mother broke out of the door soon after and chased him. That is basically all I know. My dad doesn't like talking about it a lot, and he got off right away for self defense.

So this was obviously terrible news. My sister took it extra hard. She stopped talking to my dad, she didn't defend him at all. Honestly I stuck with my dad. My mom has always had violent psychotic breakdowns. None of this came as that much of a surprise. My sister however has always been my moms darling child, she could do no wrong. Meanwhile I got beatings from our mom, including one situation where she smashed a coffee mug over my head and I had to get stitches.

So either way, there are other problems at hand. My sister has refused to talk to me as well now for 3-4 months. Here's the thing. My sister is disabled. She has daily migraines known as cluster headaches which are absolutely horrific and make it nearly impossible for her to go to school or hold a job. Trust me when I say, its basically impossible. I have given her, typically every 4 or so months, a few thousand dollars to help her out. She cant exactly survive on her own, and she needs money to help pay health insurance. I earn 140k a year, and I live frugally, so this is nothing to me.

But its been 3-4 months now, and at any time she will be expecting me for money. I honestly feel weird about this. The last time we talked, she said horrible, horrible nasty things to me because I was still defending dad. She told me I could go kill myself, that I am a loving terrible person, that I never loved mom etc. After that we just never talked.

I dont know what to do honestly. I really dont. Any advice? I've tried apologizing and told her we can still talk and not talk about our parents. No response, nothing. I dont even know if she still lives where she lives.

tl;dr: Dad killed mom in self defense, sister blames dad, I blame mom. Sister no talk to me, I pay sisters bill, not sure if I should continue.

That’s one :stare: backstory right there. You can’t force someone to go to rehab (unless it’s court mandated) right? But forcibly locking someone in a bedroom to force a cold turkey withdrawal and then dropping a couple bombs like that clearly wasn’t the best detox plan.

Dad was probably desperate at that point. That he carried a gun around says a lot about their relationship. I wonder if they ever got Mom any help, or if they just let her self-medicate with heroin. As for the sister, there's some drugs on the market that can help with cluster headaches. If she's on Disability she'll have her meds covered and get just enough to pay for a room in a house. It doesn't say where they are, so we have no idea what kind of social services she's getting, if any.

Yeah, it’s a real nesting doll of WTF and I’m guessing the dad was beyond his breaking point if that was his plan, but that whole story is a Hell of a lot to take in.
