My buddy married this girl he had been dating for over 5 years and let her quit her job so they could have kids. The kids never materialized but she got really into church with a bunch of other stay-at-home do-nothing kept women and he ended up having to divorce her. By the end she was calling all of his friends like me heathens and poo poo. Some people just snap.

The divorce was pretty drawn out, too. Her dad had a lot of money so she offered to pay for the completion of my buddy's college if he went to the religious school of her choosing and took religious electives so they could talk about that type of thing and he did it. In the end it just made everyone miserable.

I was sort of casual friends with a guy who was dating this amazing lady. He was a little odd, it was known he was a christian and went to church and poo poo but most people didn't hold it against him. She wasn't religious at all but her family was jewish. They dated for over a year but he finally dumped her because it was apparently all a long plot to bring her over to christ. Converting a jew was some holy mission he thought god had given him and he was giving monthly updates to his church on his progress. When he ramped the pressure up she had to nicely tell him that she doesn't mind that he goes to church and believes in god and poo poo, but she doesn't, and she certainly isn't going to have a big official baptism and be paraded around his church as some conversion trophy. He dumped her immediately but kept up contact always reminding her that if she converts he'd forgive her and take her back. He also had a whole thing about how as a jew she should feel guilty for killing christ and by becoming a baptist she could finally wash the blood off her hands.

He correctly lost most of his non-church friends over this.

My wife's cousin got a job teaching in a fairly small town, and as a practicing Catholic, he politely declined the first dozen invitations from his co-workers to renounce his idolatry and join the biggest Baptist church in town. After his boss and the superintendent invited him and he persisted in resisting they made it very clear he should start looking for another job.

I was lonely and depressed in college and this girl in my class happened to start chatting with me when she sat next to me. In a nice story, this would be the start to my eventual recovery through the power of friendship. In reality, the girl invited me to her Jehovah's Witness church. After I told her I went to a non-JW church already, she disengaged and never spoke to me again.

Good to see you really care about your fellow man, bitch.

It felt like when a guy tries to befriend a girl just to gently caress her. Like she saw that I was having a hard time and went "A weakness, I have an in!"

Here in the deep south it's definitely a thing for hardcore christian girls to go for Jewish guys. Though it's less about converting us and more about getting caught by proxy in their fetishizing of Israel and the rapture / murdering brown people.

I GLUED MY LEAD TO YOUR HAND SO YOU CAN ALWAYS WALK ME

I [27 F] realized I performed surgery on my new boyfriend [25 M] and he has no idea

quote:

u/throwawaydocgirl

Throwaway account for a reason

I'm a 2nd year resident in a surgical field at a large hospital in a major city.

I met a really cool guy online, we hit it off and went on a bunch of dates and we've been having a ton of fun hanging out.

One thing led to another, and things got sexual and he mentioned that he had gotten circumcised for medical reasons like 6-8 months ago and was kind of embarrassed about it since it still looks like it was recently done. I was like "oh, well, that happens more often than you think..."

Then I suddenly had a flashback based on something he said and realized he was the patient when I helped perform an adult circumcision in that time frame. He was very drugged up at the time and wouldn't have remembered me.

I since went back and looked at records and yes, I helped circumcise him. At first I wasn't sure.

This is one of the largest cities in the US and the odds of this have to be incredibly small.

I'm not sure how this would affect a guy's ego exactly. I've been struggling to figure out how to tell him. On one hand maybe he'd think it's really funny. On the other hand maybe he'd freak out completely. But the longer I go without saying anything the worst this gets.

I was actually going to tell him this weekend, but then he basically asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend and I was so excited by this that I didn't want to ruin the moment. I haven't had a real boyfriend since sophomore year of college.

So I can't keep this to myself but I'm just not sure how he'd react.

tl;dr: Basically I realized I helped perform my boyfriend's adult circumcised 6-8 months ago but he doesn't know it was me and I'm not sure how he would respond to that.

Me [30M] found out information about my father [71M] that is really unsettling

quote:

u/Relathr

Simply put my father is sick, he suffered a stroke and is semi paralyzed, cant speak, doesn't understand most thing and so on. He's at home and we take care of him.

That being said my parents were never very affectionate with each other. I don't remember but when I was kid my father was even somewhat aggressive, going as far as hitting my mother. He stopped by the time I was old enough to remember but it's still bad that happened. I knew this though and I was told for years he turned a new leaf and became a better man.

My whole life my father cared about me and my siblings. He was never an affectionate or expressive person. He never went out, never was romantic with my mother. Hell, he barely cared about music or whatever. He just worked and slept, that's it.

I kind of knew he wasn't a great husband given his boring personality and lack of affection but I was surprised at what I heard today. For years my mother said my father doesn't really love her and I've said every time "Mom, you knew it's just his personality. He's old fashioned, boring, etc..." and my mom would let it go.

Today she told me the truth. They had a sexless marriage for 15 years. When I was 15 and younger my dad would go out and my mom would find numbers in his jacket, lipstick on his collar and so on.

My father has always been relatively good to me and I know he loves me but it turns out he genuinely didn't love my mother. She got pregnant and he married her they stayed together 'for the kids'. It's not to say he doesn't have ANY care for her. I know he cares somewhat but I guess he never really wanted to be with her.

It was tough to hear. I'm with him now, keeping him company as he watches TV in his wheelchair but it hurts. It hurts that he hurt my mother. He's completely helpless now, vulnerable. I can't confront him, I can't change the past. I still love him, I just don't know what to do or say. I guess I'm supposed to bury it as I'm only one who knows. My mother never told my siblings. I don't know if I should either. Mother told me not to so I guess I won't but just a little disappointed, hurt and devastated.

I don't know what to tell my mother given the new information, I'm dumbfounded. Help?

tl;dr: My now sick father used to cheat on my mother frequently and I found out now. I don't know how to deal with it or if I should tell anyone. I don't know how to comfort my mother either.

My coffee warned me about it.


Me [33F] with my husband [33M], together 12 years. A crush on a coworker I have never even met in person is driving me to the point of being depressed and I can't seem to get past it. What is wrong with me?

quote:

I know it is normal to have small crushes while in a relationship, it happens from time to time. My relationship with my husband has always been and will always remain my first priority. I adore him and our life together and I would never put myself in a position to cheat on him.

I worked with a man a few weeks ago, that again I have never met in person. He was kind and smart and I found myself looking forward to our meetings about the project we were working on. I immediately realized how I was feeling and made a point to keep all talk strictly professional. In fact, the only non work related items we've spoken about are our spouses.

The project has now been over for a few weeks. I had the opportunity to meet this man at a conference and purposely avoided it, leaving early for my flight to avoid a dinner he would be at. I find myself thinking about him every day and wondering what he's doing. I even catch myself trying to find excuses to reach out to him about that project we worked on, but I stop myself.

What is wrong with me? I love my husband and I don't want to keep thinking about this other dude. Things with my husband are great so I don't even get where this is coming from. I feel so guilty about it that it's making me more depressed. I'm currently in treatment for depression but I'm too embarrassed​ to even talk to my therapist about this.

What can I do? I haven't had a crush like this since I met my husband and I feel lost, confused, and guilty. I just want it to go away.

tl;dr: I have a stupid, baseless crush and don't know how to make it go away. How do I stop?

Update to: Me [33F] with my husband [33M], together 12 years. A crush on a coworker I have never even met in person is driving me to the point of being depressed and I can't seem to get past it. What is wrong with me?

quote:

My feelings have only grown stronger and more overwhelming as I had to resume working with this man. I have now discussed it with my therapist at length and she's not helping. She just says it's normal but it doesn't FEEL normal. Again, still no intention to cheat and completely certain this is one sided, I'm just destroyed by guilt and frankly lovesick. I think about this guy constantly and I absolutely hate it. It has gotten worse the more we interact as our personalities seem to "click." I cannot quit my job for reasons too identifiable to go into.

I have purposely started focusing on the negatives about this guy and it doesn't work, I feel myself falling in love. Even just hearing his voice makes me light up. My attraction to him is overwhelming, and there is not even anything particularly attractive about him! In the looks department my husband is a 10, and this guy is your average chubby 30 year old. Personality-wise, sure he is smart and kind and hilarious, but so is my husband. I cannot comprehend what is happening in my brain. There is NOTHING I am missing at home, no hole to be filled. I've even switched medications because I thought maybe it was affecting things, but nothing has changed.

I know that if I met this guy when we were both single I would have pursued him, but we are not and I have NO INTEREST. Why can't my brain accept it? How do I get past this? I am desperate. I am not afraid I'll be unfaithful, I'm just tired of feeling so miserable and pining for this guy.

TL;DR: Crush has not subsided with time. Need help to make it stop. Any advice appreciated.
