Oh poo poo you just made me remember. I know I saw it on reddit. Maybe in here too? The girl who wanted her boyfriend to dress as a cop and "bust" her only he kicked in her door, tore up her bedroom and "busted" her for the weed she had. I can't find it though.

Here it is:

quote:

So we've been with eachother for 6 years. Our sex life is just as good as when it started, I just wanted to try out some kinkier stuff so I suggested roleplaying. Kevin (husband) was somewhat open to the idea, but also thought it was a bit ridiculous. This is something I've always wanted to try, sort of like a fetish. So we got a few costumes, a Cop outfit and a Spy trenchcoat for him, and a nurse and cheerleader outfit for me. All of our roleplaying revolves around one person being in character, and the other interacting with them.

But he takes his roles as a joke! He goes intentionally extreme with the roles. I know he thinks it's a bit ridiculous, and I know he has more fun when he does this, but I want a real roleplay!

For example, when he dressed up as the Cop, he was supposed to do a stop and frisk, arrest me, etc, but in a sexy way. But instead, he kicks open the door, screams "HANDS UP THIS IS A RAID" and basically tackles me to the bed (this is OKAY it's NOT ABUSE we have rough dom/sub sex all the time), handcuffs me, literally reads me my Miranda Rights, leaves me there and rummages through the drawers throwing stuff everywhere, pulls out a little baggy of weed and goes apeshit like a cop might. I play a long, try to get him to 'let me go' if I can do sexual favours for him. Then we have some rough sex with handcuffs and everything. The actual sex was good but he kept speaking into his fake radio calling for backup, when I was on top he would shout OFFICER DOWN OFFICER DOWN.

With the Spy outfit he would come in and check me for wires and do the whole Pink Panther thing where he says "It is lovely weather we are having" while sneaking to the drapes and then beating the drapes up. I was envisioning a more James Bond-eqsue seduction.

Like, I like the sex, it's good, but I wanted a more porn-like experience. And it was kinda funny but not what I thought. And I KNOW that he thinks roleplay is ridiculous, and that he is trying to have fun with it but I feel like he doesn't know what I want. And I don't hate him for it, he's a big fuckin goofball in or out of our roles, but I want to have MY experience. How can I tell him this?

[30/F] My boyfriend of 10 months [28/M] turned out to be 21 YEARS OLD, not 28. He never lied, but wtf do I do??

quote:

We met soon after I turned 30 which means he must JUST have turned 21 when we met.

The whole time we were together I thought he was 28. I wasn't sitting there thinking I didn't know how old my own boyfriend was, I knew he was 28, but now looking back on it, I have no idea how I knew that, or why I thought it. I also know his birthday which is the correct birthday, but the year I thought was wrong.

When I rack my memories and think back I have no recollection of him directly saying his age to me. He never lied or even said anything about it at all. Maybe someone else told it to me?

We met at work. He told me that he worked at this company for 4 years starting with an internship. That is true and he is also several levels past entry level, he is actually at a higher level than me. But I didn't know his internship started when he was 18 loving years old. We don't work in the same department or even in the same building, and everyone else in his department is later middle aged.

This all came about because his birthday was coming up. I wanted to make sure the exact date was right in order to put it on a cake. He kept insisting that he didn't want to do anything for his birthday, and that he doesn't like birthdays. But I really wanted to do something for him. I don't know if it's really true that he doesn't like birthdays or if he was just saying that to avoid the topic of his age.

Even now I still have no idea if he did this on purpose or not. He is very closed off and I have no idea if he deliberately withheld this from me or if he just wasn't thinking about it.

I met his mom. She seemed pretty normal, there were high school and college graduation photos of him at her place, but no indication they were taken you know, last year. She didn't talk much and she didn't say anything about his age. He doesn't have other family he's close to.

He owns his own house, which I think was partly inherited. He owns his own car and truck. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. He is a big, silent, gruff guy with a beer belly and beard.

Finally he told me the year and I thought he was joking. I had to count backwards in my mind to come up with his age. I had to ask him several times if he was joking and he wasn't. I took his wallet out of his pocket and looked at his driver's license and it was true. He acted like I was nuts and making a big deal over something random.

I stared at him waiting for him to explain the situation and he went outside to work in his workshop and didn't say anything else.

I walked away and left.

What the gently caress is this? The problem is, I want my loving relationship back! I want my relationship with my 28 YEAR OLD boyfriend back.

As much as I have racked my brain, I don't think he ever lied to me or even said anything misleading. Is it possible I just assumed his age the whole time????

Even when it comes to shows and cartoons, and music he always gets my references. Even when we were talking about Friends we were talking about how funny it is all these people are now watching Friends on Netflix and they are superfans even though they weren't even born when it was on. BUT HE'S ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE.

What is this? Is there any way this could turn out okay? I really love him, or at least the person I thought he was, but maybe it's my fault I was wrong?

EDIT: I broke up with him, we're done. No matter who was wrong, it couldn't continue. Either I am too overreacting and immature to continue, or he should have updated me when he realized I didn't know, because I'll never know what else he just won't see fit to tell me. Either way we're done, nothing more to see here. I linked him to the thread so he will know my thought process. I don't expect he will reply, because he's not the type to talk about these things, so we'll both just move on and it will be fine.

tl;dr: [30/F] My boyfriend of 10 months [28/M] turned out to be 21 YEARS OLD, not 28. He never lied, but wtf do I do??

This is like a weird bizarre twilight version of the usual age gap story. :confused:

Help. I’m (F38) stuck in holiday from Hell. Need strategies to cope, please

quote:

My dear mom invited her family: dad (M71), my sister (F35), BIL (M40) and my DH (M40) and grandchildren for a family-holiday to celebrate her birthday.

The destination and everything was put up for debate but my suggestions (an AirBnB in a national park) were disregarded and my sisters suggestions about a resort in a very popular holidaydestination were chosen because the kids would ‘love a pool’ and somewhere with all-inclusive would be great since ‘nobody likes to cook’.

DH and I tried to fight it, because we prefer nature and value our privacy, love to cook and visit museums or go trekking during holidays. Pool-areas with +500 People and all-inclusive buffets are our idea of the inner circles of Hell, tbh.

But we lost and agreed to go with the flow. How bad could a free holiday be, anyway?

Well. We arrived yesterday and it’s so much worse than I imagined. The resort is located between the highway and an industrial zone. The architecture is horrid, there’s people everywhere, it’s incredibly humid, the fabled buffet was bland with quantity over quality and the poolarea was filled with semidrunk parents yelling at their kids.

And as if that’s not bad enough, I have to pretend I like it.

I had a heart to heart with my sister before leaving and made her a promise to stay positive to keep Mum happy. My mum and dad are really sweet and just want everyone to get along and have a great time.

Sis and I are very different though we love each other dearly. But sometimes I feel that she gets very condescending towards me and disregard my feelings.

And now everyone seems hellbent on ensuring that I have a great time. That keep asking if I’m happy, love the food, the location, the pool, the weather etc. And I don’t know, how much longer I can keep lying, Reddit.

So how do I cope? Do I tell the truth? Lie through my teeth or view it as a sociological experiment?

TLDR: I’m stuck in a resort from Hell and need venting and coping strategies. Help!

The free buffet was BLAND and there were PEOPLE at the resort I got to stay in for free, this is TRULY the deepest level of suffering :qq::qq::qq::thermidor:

EDIT: A further look into this person's psyche since they didn't use a throwaway:

Its hard to feel sympathetic to your situation. It’s sounds as if your family are good people, you all get along.

My (26/F) maid of honor (26/F) called me a cow and made herself sick on purpose while we were looking for my wedding dress.

quote:

When my boyfriend proposed to me I thought my bestie would be thrilled and initially she was. She said all the right things and acted the right way, but I could tell that something was kind of...off about the way she was acting. Almost like it was kind of forced.

I know she's been wanting her guy to propose for the longest time now, so I guessed this was the reason for her acting a little weird about the whole thing. No problem, I totally understood. It's allowed. But the trouble began when I asked her to come with me to find my wedding dress. She complained that it was too soon for me to be looking and that it was bad luck to look for the dress too soon, and that she didn't know if she could take the time off of work. I said no problem, we'd just go during a time she had off! After she found out that the other bridesmaids and my mom would be going, she finally gave me a date that worked out best.

It was a disaster from the start. She started slamming champagne like it was shots at the bar. She didn't have anything nice to say about the shop. She criticized every dress that I came out in. The kicker came when I came out in a dress that I really loved. I actually teared up a little bit when I put it on and I really loved it. But when I came out to show my mom and my friends, my best friend told me that she hated it and that I looked like a "holstein cow". When I tried to defend myself and point out what I liked about the dress, she started making little gagging noises. When we all stopped and asked her what was going on, it turned into full fledged gagging and she ran to the bathroom to vomit, I assume.

The ride back home was really loving awkward. She said that the first dress hunting trip is always a disaster but maybe we'd get it right next day. I was so upset I barely spoke to her. I'm really hurt by the way she acted and how viciously she tore down the dress I loved. She even got one of the other girls to agree that I looked like a cow in my dress.

Today one of my other bridesmaids texted me to tell me that my supposed best friend is telling the girls she doesn't want to plan my bachelorette party and that she's just going to take me to the zoo because it's easy. I'm confused...not that I don't like the zoo, but what?? She's also been saying that she's the one that should be planning a wedding but her boyfriend is a piece of poo poo that hasn't proposed.

I know she's stressing out because she wants her boyfriend to propose but he hasn't. But her taking it out on me is really making me upset, and I don't want her to do anything for me now. We've also been friends since we were small though and our families are close friends which makes it awkward.

Is there a way for me to help her work through her stress/anger towards her boyfriend? She's my best friend for a reason, but she's been acting crazy lately.

tl;dr: Best friend has been acting crazy since my boyfriend proposed. She insulted my weight and made herself sick on purpose at my dress appointment.

/r/adultery is loving hilarious

AP/Ex-AP met my SO (self.adultery)

My SO works in a public capacity where something like this could happen randomly, but the AP and I are kind of on the outs. Texted me randomly to say "I see your wife, maybe I should go introduce myself" eek! I went with the reverse psychology: "Yeah, you should do that, it might be interesting." She replied later with some nonsense about how my SO is a very nice lady and she wishes us the best or something. I'm really curious as to why she suddenly went kinda cray, but I don't really want to wake any sleeping dogs either. I guess this is why people use fake names and stuff huh? Unless she broke out proof showing a bunch of texts I think my SO would have believed that she was just some crazy lady I had been friends with that fell in love with me (which apparently is basically true lol).

I know this isn't what people are gonna want to hear; she's totally being awful but for a sort of understandable reason and I think if the OP is interested in things working out it'd be possible to power through it. Sometimes people just do really heinous poo poo when they're overloaded and I don't say that to justify it, obviously I wouldn't blame the OP at all if they wanted to sever, but it's entirely possible given a bit of time they'll acknowledge what they did and be legitimately sorry about it. I genuinely think that's the kind of thing you could move past assuming appropriate amends were made because the OP is well aware the outburst wasn't about her.

Me [35M] with my wife [34F], she says I flirted with another woman [26F] at my brother's [30M] wedding.(self.relationships)

quote:

Background: My wife and I have been together for 10 years, married for 5 now. We have 2 children, twins. We are happy, at least I think so. Things have gotten a little boring with the grind of life and children, but we have been getting out of that funk recently.

Situation: Last weekend was my brother's wedding. There were events leading up to it, too. I was his best man. The maid of honor was the bride's younger sister, Brianna. Brianna and I wound up spending a lot of time together during the week. I hadn't met her before this week because she lives across the country. She is moving back here later this year.

I noticed during the wedding that my wife wasn't too happy, but I had other things I had to do and I couldn't check on her like I wanted to or usually would because of best man duties. She was also taking care of our kids, so I thought it was due to that and that my family causes her stress. Overall, I didn't spend too much time with my wife or kids the whole week.

When we got home the day after, my wife sat me down and said that I embarrassed her at the wedding. She said:

  • Brianna and I flirted with one another the entire time and that people noticed. People made comments to her.

  • She said that I lit up anytime I was with Brianna or talked about her. She said I was looking at her a certain way and I never look at her that way.

  • I didn't dance with her, but I did dance with Brianna.

  • I left her to deal with our children and my family alone. I didn't check in with her, but I always seem to be checking in on Brianna.

  • She asked me what I did with Brianna when I wasn't around earlier in the week and when a bunch of us went out to drink.

Looking back on it, I can't deny what she is saying. I know how bad this sounds. I know how bad it looks. I don't want to deny that I had a crush on Brianna. She is attractive and fun to be around and I noticed that right away earlier in the week. We spent a lot of time alone together, nothing happened, except some flirting. I did divert my attention to her when I should've been checking in on my wife and children. My family can be overwhelming and I should've been there more. There was no need to dance with Brianna, except indulging in my own crush.

My main question now, is how do I deal with this?

On one side, Brianna has texted me since the wedding, not much, but she has. Should I ghost her? Tell her to stop texting me? We added on another on social media. Should I unfriend her or leave it? I will see her eventually since she is my SIL's sister and I know she is moving back here soon. I don't want to put my brother in a bad situation, but my wife does come first here.

Then my wife, I don't know how to make her feel better. She said she feels humiliated, old, and ugly. She is none of those, but I can see why I made her feel that way. She doesn't want to go to another one of my family's events that's coming up (my mom's birthday) because my family made so many comments to her about me during the wedding. I want to make her feel special, beautiful, and loved because she is all of those things.

I know I am an rear end for what happened. I want to help my wife. What can I do?

Edit: bonus content

Should OP defriend his crush? NO, THAT WOULD BE RUDE, says a Redditor

Since they're relatives now I don't think he should remove her from his social media... unless he's so immature he's going to stalk her and continue his crush (which is possible). He should otherwise ghost her and stop replying to her texts or maintaining any kind of personal relationship, though.

I [27 M] called the cops of my wife [29 F] of 4 years after a verbal argument that got heated quick...

quote:

One of the wildest nights of my life. My wife and I have been married for 4 years and definitely have had our issues. We got married very early, but were both clearly not ready and we've fought really hard to stay together.

The biggest downfall of my wife is her anger. I can't raise my voice or call her anything without her legitimately turning into the loving INCREDIBLE HULK. I'm no peach. I have add (not an excuse) and can be a hard person to live with. I stay up late at night and I can procrastinate for hours. I'm currently finishing up my Master's and have been applying to jobs to bring some income to the house.

My wife has been paying the rent the past 2 years and I'm sure it's taken it's toll to see me as a full-time student not bringing in the bills. I walk the dog, make the bed, do the dishes basically every day and sometimes I don't do them at a time she specifics. This creates issues but my excuses are usually pretty poo poo.

Anyways, when we fight. It is loving bad. There have been 5-6 instances where she's thrown poo poo at me or broken my poo poo.

She busted 1 of my laptops in 2016 that had some of my loving school notes on it. She threw an apple at it and broke the harddrive.

She's thrown my phone out the window and hit my head while driving her because I raised my voice really loud at her in an argument. That was brutal.

Tonight, she loving broke my 250 dollar headset. She threw a coaster at me. I couldn't loving take it anymore.

I called the cops and made a statement. I'm sick to my stomach but I had to do something to get it through her loving head that she can't break my personal property. It's just loving ridiculous.

I honestly don't know where to go from here. Staying at my uncle's now who are very close to me. She even threatened to call one place of employment that I'm hearing back on an offer soon. I don't know if she actually did, but I seriously can't believe what my life has turned into.

I may be the only person in the world that has a spouse calling a potential employer and telling them bad poo poo about me. What is my loving life.

tl;dr: wife broke my 250 dollar headset after verbal argument i called the cops and made statement i'm not sure if i did the right thing she's a teacher in the dam town and i don't want her to get fired i don't know where to go from here b/c everything about my wife is great besides her anger. it's downright scary as gently caress.

quote:

So i'll never regret that decision but the anger came much later in our relationship.

🤔🤔 guys why is my wife acting crazy

quote:

At the end of the day, I never laid a finger on her unless it was self-defense to get her to stop. She has broken over 1,000 dollars worth of property up to this point and it kills me b/c I do not get angry until my personal poo poo gets touched.

You can call me anything. Tell me i'm a lazy piece of poo poo. Whatever. Just don't touch my personal items and she has destroyed them.

It's kind of impossible to make fun of the dude without coming across like you're condoning her behavior but something tells me the OP didn't just forget to mention the part where he's in a master's program as a 28 year old because he found the last 5 years of his productive working life unsatisfying and was looking for a career change. Dude is gonna live at his uncle's place being unhelpful with chores due to his add until he gets kicked out.

This. I realise this thread is infamous for blaming the woman no matter what, but come on. She's at least as lovely as he is, if not more.

Seriously, if the situation was reversed, and the husband was supporting his wife while she went to school full time, I doubt you'd call her a mooch. But there's still this concept that A Real Man Must Provide and therefore he should be shamed because he's not the provider, his wife is. Lose the toxic masculinity and let the dude go to school.

But without his wife.

The part that's weird/interesting and not part of the typical abuser pattern is she isn't directly breaking his stuff. She didn't throw his laptop, she threw an apple and somehow it hit his laptop in the right place to break it. She didn't throw his headset, she threw a coaster and somehow that broke his headset. I didn't even know it's possible to huck an apple or a coaster that hard.

To be clear she's still 100% abusive and her other poo poo is much more typical, but I thought that detail was a weird/interesting variation

He also said she hit him in the head while he was driving. The dude doesn’t exactly sound like a catch, but I have no issue with her getting in trouble if she’s seriously hitting someone while they’re driving.

Am I the only one who thinks it’s weird when grown rear end adults use the word crush in contexts other than making fun of their teenaged relatives?
I don't know, I think it's a fine way to keep the inevitable inappropriate attractions in their proper context, as something giddy and silly that you shouldn't take seriously. Lots of people blow up perfectly good relationships because they think crushes are a Big Deal that they have to Do Something About Right Now.

Besides I don't have any better way to describe my thing for Michael Shannon.

The free buffet was BLAND and there were PEOPLE at the resort I got to stay in for free, this is TRULY the deepest level of suffering :qq::qq::qq::thermidor:

To be fair this sounds like my idea of hell and I'd probably take up meth dull the pain

Nice meltdown. Dude sounds like an incredible catch and I don't really get why she broke up with him after almost a year of a fully functional, healthy relationship. Well, it's her loss. :sad:

Hostile takeover of a condo association

(Toronto, Ontario) Single person now more than 50% of my buildings condo units. Dissolved condo board, and installed themselves. Now she is telling us at the end of the month we won't have our parking spots anymore. Is this legal?

quote:

I bought my condo brand new in 2014, it was a small building (~32 units) on 4 floors. It is in a really nice location and i paid a fair amount for my unit. When i first moved in we had a condo management company, who did a fine job.

Unfortunately late last year we discovered at the board meeting that someone had now owned over 50% of the condos. This person is someone who on several occasions had tried to pressure me into selling my condo to her (she was offering less than what i paid, and i wouldn't be able to find an equivalent condo in the same area for the amount she was offering).

This person basically voted by her self to dissolve the condo board, and elected herself as the sole person in charge of everything. Today i received a letter from our new condo overlord which states:

By March 1st our parking spots are no longer going to be available. If we want to keep our spots we must pay $175/month.
Failure to do so will result in our cars being towed.

I have paperwork from when i bought my condo, parking spot #3C was included in my purchase. When i pointed this out to her about this i was told to more or less go gently caress my self, and if my car is there on march 1st it will be towed. I basically have a single day to figure out what to do. Since this comes into affect tomorrow. Do i go try to find legal advice right now?

EDIT I have managed to 3 other people in our building together to go see a lawyer tomorrow.

To explain a few things:

I do have a title to my parking spot, that from my understanding basically says i own that parking spot.
We only have around ~18 parking spots, and there are more tenants than spots available.
I have nowhere to park aside from my parking lot, street parking is basically good for an hour tops, and trying to find a place is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I found out today she isn't the sole overlord of our condo board, apparently the other 2 board members one is her husband and the other is related to her.
Her husband owns a towing company.
Apparently someone is moving into the building tomorrow and has paid for my spot so if i am not gone by midnight she is towing my car.

I had something like that happen to me in my 20s (25?). Woman assumed I was a bit older and I assumed she was a bit younger. Turned out she was 38. We discovered it a few weeks into dating and after her initial panic we laughed about it.

Hmm yeah, I wonder why my wife is ultra pissed off at me after I ditched her and the kids for my SIL's attractive, younger little sister, who I flirted and danced with during the whole wedding to the point that my family made snarky comments. Now the real question is should I keep texting her?

I want to see an update to this so bad. I'm really curious about the parking spot situation. If she has no right to sell the spots her husband can still be a dick and tow, but he can pursue legal poo poo which will be drawn out and annoying.
