Oh look, the consequences of my prior actions are finally catching up to me.
My BF [M/23] got mad that I [F/22] clogged the toilet at his apartment.

AKA: I powershit so hard that my BF went mental.

quote:

My boyfriend is subleasing a room, and currently shares a bathroom one other dude. He's subleasing "under the table", in that they didn't go through management (extra fees), but instead just agreed to a verbal contract.

I came home from class today, used his bathroom, and ended up clogging his toilet. Neither had a plunger, but I did back at my apartment and the entire way there, he gets louder and louder saying I didn't see the risk in me clogging it and wasn't thinking and didn't care the situation he'd be put in if he was kicked out. His reasoning was, "If (roommate) uses the toilet when we're getting the plunger, and it floods and ruins all his crap, he could get pissed and go to management and tell them I'm living here and I'd be poo poo out of luck with a place to live." He began yelling about it, and I pretty much told him the chances of all of that happening was so unlikely. His roomie is incredibly chill and is even okay with him smoking weed, so I doubt an overflowed toilet that spills onto the floor would lead him to have bf kicked out. I acknowledged it was a risk, but an incredibly small one at that, and said he was overreacting.

He got even more mad and just yelled and made it seem like I just ended his life and career and goals by clogging the toilet, even though we were on the way to get the plunger at that point (less than five minutes after it happened..)

I just don't know if I'm in the wrong. Obviously I shouldn't have clogged it, but it's not like I could do much about that. I really think he overreacted playing the "what if" game about a clogged toilet leading to him getting kicked out. Idk, am I in the wrong?

tl;dr: Clogged toilet at BF's under-the-table subleased apartment, he yelled at me saying it could flood if his roommate used it, he'd get mad, and the roomie could report him for living there and have him kicked out.

Your bf is threatened by your massive shits. In our evolutionary history, the dominant partner always made the biggest poo poo and made their partners clean up the mess. Here you are challenging his dominance in the relationship by making GBS threads in his home and then, because his incel shits are too small to have an effect on the plumbing, have to go to your place to get the right tool for the job. When you return to his apartment, he will attempt to take the lead and plunge the toilet. He will fail because he is mentally weak and won't be able to summon the will necessary to challenge your now sentient poo poo. You will have to subdue it, and you will win, further cementing you as the dominant partner.

we've seen countless stories of some dude pining for a girl, she's not really that into him while wanting to stay friends, ends up romantically interested in his attractive and sociable friend, and we all just sort of have a guffaw about it rather than calling her a lovely person.

in most of those stories they werent long term friends who hung out a lot, were extremely close, had sex with each other regularly, and live together.

also she usually isn't confused about why her male friend doesn't want to gently caress the day after she banged his friend.

I don't disagree with this at all I just think the judgement is significantly lighter when the situation is reversed, whole bunch of speaking about "not owing" and blahdiblah handwaving when it comes to actions that anyone with half a brain could see would hurt someone else.

idea for a business (armed chauffeur for escorts)...not sure of the legality

quote:

So this is not something I'm imminently planning, just a theory. My plan for a small business is to provide a chauffeur/personal security service to high end escorts in the Portland, OR area. Basically drive clients to and from their appointments, provide them with a nearby security professional and a panic-button device, and ensure that their customers abide by the client's predetermined time limits and code of conduct.

From what I can tell, I would need to have my DPSST armed private security certification in addition to a private security Executive Manager certification. Also, Oregon does not require a special livery vehicle license, so I would need my clean driving record and a valid OR drivers' license. Liability insurance for the company would be a must, as well as commercial auto insurance for a livery vehicle.

So, lawyers of Reddit, how illegal would this business be? From my understanding, escorting is not expressly illegal in Oregon (customers are only paying for the escort's time, no sex is guaranteed). Would there be any reason that a chauffeur and/or private security guard would be held liable for the activities of their clients? I assume plenty of people who make their living in grey areas, or flat out illegally, hire legitimate private security companies for their own personal security. What sort of criminal liability does this expose them to?

Thanks for indulging my far out theory here!

I'm actually genuinely curious about the response.

Like headshops in the US operate in an "obviously facilitating illegal actions but we're not personally responsible" grey area, could you set up an escort business the same way?

less michael scott, more ted bundy

quote:

During the penalty phase of the trial, Bundy took advantage of an obscure Florida law providing that a marriage declaration in court, in the presence of a judge, constituted a legal marriage. As he was questioning former Washington State DES coworker Carole Ann Boone—who had moved to Florida to be near Bundy, had testified on his behalf during both trials, and was again testifying on his behalf as a character witness—he asked her to marry him. She accepted, and Bundy declared to the court that they were legally married.

Regarding the guy that was kicked out of his house on valentines day, he totally could just be a huge spineless weenie who brought it on himself. But I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt, as i went through someting similar (although not as crazy), it could have been simply an emotionally abusive relationship. The whole up and uprooting everything to go with her plans and getting far from his support group, only to suddenly want to be with someone else is familiar. It really messes with your brain, you feel like "i deserve this" and you don't think logically or preserve your own feelings. It's not until you finally leave that you finally think "oh wow that was really stupid and messed up! ".

If they live in one of the states that allows common-law marriage (which isn’t very many of them), they’re probably already married: all they have to do is live together, be eligible to get married, and tell people they’re married. No license or ceremony required.

Was gonna say, that's technically how common-law marriage works, the whole engagement and ceremony thing is relatively recent (for anyone but rich people anyway) in the big scheme of things.

For commonlaw marriage, you do have to live together and present yourself as married, but it has to be for a period of time, not a five-minute phone call.

My husband [43M] and I [35F] keep having the same dumb argument.Relationships

quote:

My husband and I have a pretty great relationship, but there is one thing he does that I can’t effing stand. Please tell me what to do.

Whenever I accidentally touch him in an unpleasant way, like stepping on his toe, he makes the HUGEST deal about it and acts like I’ve maimed him for life. He complains about it for an unnecessarily long amount of time. He acts like he’s seriously injured. It’s so the opposite of his usual personality! For example, he had a rock fly up and hit him in the face while doing yard work recently and he just brushed it off at nothing even though he had a pretty good cut.

It doesn’t happen very often. Maybe once a month. The first few times it happened I was genuinely apologetic as I thought it must have seriously hurt. After 10 years together, now I usually just roll my eyes, leave the room and wait for him to be over it.

Today I was giving him a haircut (as I’ve done many many times) and I touched his chin to move his head back and he acted like I had strangled him. He yelled “OW!” He snapped at me that I could have just asked him to move his head back. I told him that for the last decade I’ve been giving him haircuts and he insists on leaning his head forward despite me repeatedly asking him to hold it up. He then said he puts his head forward because I push it forward with the clippers...I said, “yes that’s how haircuts work! I put the clippers to your head.” He told me that’s not how it works, so I told him I couldn’t continue his haircut because I wasn’t allowed to touch him. He then told me to stop being such a big baby. That made me super angry. I was pretty much being a big baby, but the whole thing started because of his huge baby reaction to me touching his chin. I honestly felt uncomfortable continuing because he was so “injured” from me “strangling” him and insisting that kept “pushing” his head.

This whole argument seems so dumb, but we keep having it. It’s so hard to not feel comfortable touching him. I’m always worried that he won’t like something and he’ll go into big baby mode.

I’ve tried to bring this up during neutral times (ie when he’s not complaining of being injured by me) and he just insists that he was not overreacting and in fact I really hurt him.

It’s not just me either. If one of the dogs runs into him, he acts the same way.

Someone please help.

TL;DR my husband acts like a big baby when I accidentally “injure” him.

quote:

Top comment:
My son used to be like this. Tough as nails generally, but cried if it was someone that hurt him, rather than something. I think he felt emotionally hurt by it, because he thought maybe they'd done it on purpose.
He grew out of it though, now he's 7. I'm don't think it's reasonable behaviour from an adult.

OP replies:
My husband was horribly abused as a child, so I’d bet that’s where this stems from.
Yea, might wanna mention that!
