Is it weird that my [26F] BF [28M] took a female friend to lunch on Valentine's Day?


It's fine he's just being nice to his single friend that he used to crush on, on Valentine's Day. I mean come on, do you really think that he's claiming to be super busy at work to cover for his meetups with her? That's just utterly farfetched.

Reminds me of that sign I’ve seen people posting on Facebook.

Violets are blue
If he’s busy on V Day

That could be funny if it were in a lake, or if when the panicked guy started pointing, they looked over to see a cheap blowup pool-toy shark. Imo they were too scared for too long to be good or chill.

Like, the whole idea of Nice Guy behaviour is literally emulating the exact behaviour of male characters in everything from movies to sitcoms to cartoons, hanging around a girl for up to years silently pining over them until eventually after some wacky action sequence she suddenly realises he's The One and they kiss and either the show ends or they proceed to hang around each other and do not much else interesting for the rest of it because stable relationships are boring.

Some shows are finally starting to move away from that or subvert it, but it's still practically omnipresent.

The Nice Guy stuff is hitting home right now because my 22-year-old stepson is going through some gut-wrenching 22-year-old things with this girl he likes at work, who's apparently just not ready for a relationship. She wants to be "bros" because she's 20 and just got out of a relationship she was in since 16, so understandably she wants time to herself and isn't looking for some thirsty-rear end college boys after her. He's having trouble reconciling the whole "but I really like her and she seems to like me" with "she backed off when I tried to kiss her and says she still wants to hang out/be affectionate but not date anyone". He's a good kid and he'll figure it out, and I've been trying to help where I can, but he's kinda depressed and still holding out hope that she'll change her mind.

It's got to be hard at that age, with constant access to social media and inundation with "BUT IF YOU JUST WAIT IT OUT" TV shows and movies telling them that if they just keep it up the girl will realize you're It and you'll live happily ever after, as opposed to reality, which blatantly tells us that if you keep pushing a girl to "think about it" or "I'll be here" or whatever she's gonna ghost the gently caress out of you because you're that guy that won't take a hint.

This is one goon consensus I don't really understand. Just be friends with people whose company you enjoy. You'll grow out of pining like a teenager eventually, which is a lot less lovely than ghosting people who consider you a friend but also don't want to bang you.

OTOH some people never grow out of pining like a teenager, which basically just makes an innocent person feel lovely and then it ends up being them that has to end the friendship.
If you think you can't get over someone, or can't watch them have a partner that isn't you, then you absolutely should be the one to gently caress off.

Not if the kid is so hung up on her that he isn't taking the hint and will still be wanting more. He needs to put distance between them and get over it before an honest friendship can be successful.

I want to know if there’s extended JO crystal lore. Are there different colors of crystal that have different properties? How does priapism play into this? Does the crystal have to be worn around the neck on a leather thong to be effective? Does the crystal lose power if too many people know about it’s true nature?

If you are looking for guidance on your JO crystal then you are doing it wrong. Just like every JO session, each crystal is unique, and through years of arduous jizzing you'll learn that the power to jack off was inside you the entire time.

Is it illegal to not drive your kid to school in Wisconsin?
(self.legaladvice)


quote:

So my mom and I got into a fight today, I am 15 if this information helps at all. For whatever reason she thinks that if I am on my phone any longer than 30 minutes I am being in healthy and she thinks she needs to take it.

The problem is her punishment, she decides to make me walk to school. It is 2 miles away I live in Wisconsin where the weather is typically 20 degrees. There is a bus I can take but I was never informed of where it would pick me up and I have no idea where to find it after school.

My questions are:

Is it illegal to not drive your kid to school under these conditions?

If so what are the punishments?

TL;DR Mom flipped out when I wouldn't give my phone back after 30 minutes of use and now she won't drive me to school.

Does this count as sexual assault or not? GF refused to let me out of chastity

u/NJPWISSHIT2010

Me and (who I thought was my) girlfriend had this arrangement where she locked me in a chastity cage and would let me out of it at certain times. Yesterday I didn't want to wear it because I wasnt feeling well so after class I found her and said I needed the key to open to it. She said I was being a pussy and just to keep it on for a while longer and then she'd let me out. I said no, that I needed the key right now so she said she'd have to go home to get it. Oh, and we only have one key. So she goes home but messages me saying I should keep it on. At this point I am feeling extremely upset so I go to her house, and her room mates tell me she went out with friends. When I called her to ask WTF she is doing, she said she has the key with her, and she will let me out of it tomorrow. At this point I legit started crying and wanted it off straight away so I had to ask my room mate to drive me to the hospital to have it taken off, while having to tell him that I'm feeling unwell.

I am still angry, hurt, embarrassed, confused. She has tried calling me and left me texts but I didn't respond to her. I don't know what to say to her or do. WTF? what should I do?

Thanks everyone who took the time to comment and ask and offer advice. I think deep down what I want is some closure and for her to know that she did actually hurt me, not just physically but emotionally as well. What I am going to do is write a letter (electronically) and send it to her, then completely cut contact with her immediately after. Secondly, I think indulging in a partners kinks like this one will be off the table for the foreseeable future.

If you show up to the hospital and say "I need help safely removing this medieval torture device which my girlfriend put on me and refuses to take off" they'll probably ask if you want to call the cops for domestic abuse and I can't really argue with them on this one
