Wait a second, wasn't there a story posted like 6 months or a year ago about some redditor having sex with some profoundly disabled girl in a wheelchair (mental age of like <6 I believe) and how he loved her and the girls whole family was like you piece of poo poo why did you do this

I don't remember that one but I do remember the one where a professor of disability studies or something started a relationship with a severely disabled, mentally challenged, and non-verbal man in a wheelchair. The family was pissed but I guess it wasn't illegal for...some reason? Or maybe it was and they were taking her to court? It was many reddit threads ago so I can barely remember.

I'm [26M] wheelchair bound and my girlfriend [25F] brought me to the casino for my birthday. She's demanding half of my winnings; what do I do? (self.relationship_advice)

quote:

I was in a motorcycle accident last year and still wheelchair bound. Hopefully by end of year I'll be out of it. My girlfriend of six years for my birthday brought me to the casino as I never went before, and being unable to drive meant I needed a way to get there. She has an (alleged) distaste for gambling so she wanted nothing of it. Just drop off, I met a couple friends, and spent a couple of hours doing slots.

I ended up leaving with around $3500 more than I came in with. I told my girlfriend and she flat out said I need to give her half because she drove me, and since we've been together for so long, it should be 50/50 split in any case. I wanted to use these to pay off the final remainder of my school loans with some leftover to treat her for a nice dinner and maybe a new piece of furniture.

The short of it is she refused to pick me up and we had a huge fight. It's been a few hours now and it hasn't really calmed down. She's not home (I own the house completely) and won't respond to texts.

On one hand, I feel guilty she got so angry but I also think this is pretty stupid and telling of her character. I think I'm done. I'm not in the wrong, right? We don't share our finances, and in most respects, she's more well off than I. I inherited this house but otherwise work. My girlfriend gets a trust every month and ultimately makes more than I do.

tl;dr: I won $3500 at the casino. Girlfriend demands half of it. Am I obliged to put up with it?

Another bathroom romance story, this sure seems to cause a lot of strife

Me (28F) and my boyfriend (31M) with our new roommate (30sM) his girlfriend (20sF) they ALWAYS use the bathroom together and it makes us uncomfortable. Do we say something, or just ignore it?

quote:

New roommate is great. He’s a work friend of my boyfriend’s and he moved in last month. His girlfriend still lives with her parents, so she’s spent every single night here since. We settled that by renegotiating rent, and we're all fine with the arrangement. They’re both pretty shy, keep to themselves, and are generally pretty good roommates, but they always use the bathroom together. Every. Time. I understand that every couple is different, and their personal habits are none of my business, but the bathroom is right off the kitchen/living room area, so there’s really no privacy. For example, we've heard them using the toilet together while we’re cooking, and loving in the shower while we’re watching a movie. We’re not prudes, but it’s a daily occurrence, even with guests over, and it makes everybody feel weird. They’re both so painfully private that I assume they think we can’t hear them. Is it worth saying something? If so, what’s the best way to bring it up?

TL;DR: Roommate and his girlfriend use the bathroom together all the time, and although I try not to, I can hear everything. Should I mention it, or just let them be freaky?

Honestly who cares and for all you know, one of them has a medical issue and needs help? The loudly loving in the shower is an issue I guess but can't you just say "hey could you keep it down if you're gonna have sex in the shower? It's kind of uncomfortable to listen to" or just jerk off to it?

I did it, I finally caught back up to the thread after months

My (35F) husband (40M) of 10 years thinks I want to die on a horse.

quote:

All right, the title was a little clickbaity. The problem, though, is real.

My husband has trouble hearing me when I talk. I don't know whether this is genuinely a hearing problem or a listening problem. Regardless, he is constantly asking me to repeat myself and has been for years. That is annoying enough, but I could probably have continued to deal with it for the forseeable future if he hadn't recently picked up what is possibly the most irritating habit in the history of time.

When I say something he doesn't hear, he no longer just asks me to repeat myself. Now, he paraphrases what he "thinks" he heard me say. For example, the title came from a time I told him I was going to iron my shorts. I guess he didn't hear, so he replied "what? You want to die on a horse?" He does this every time he doesn't hear something. We're talking about upwards of 5 times a day. "I'm brushing my teeth" becomes "you're rushing a thief?" "I'm going to the store" becomes "you're mowing on the shore?" "I'm making the baby a bottle" becomes "you're taking the neighbors a throttle?" You get the point.

Obviously, he knows that I'm not actually saying the things he thinks I'm saying. I'm not even sure he actually thinks I'm saying them. I'm pretty sure this is all a big joke to him. He seems to think he's being absolutely hilarious, but this is driving me up the wall. I have told him it bothers me, and he agrees to stop, but that only lasts for a few days and then he's back to "what? You're baking a winner?"

I think part of the problem is that we have very different senses of humor, and he genuinely doesn't understand why I don't find him the funniest guy ever when he asks why I'm going to put glass in my jar. But Reddit, I don't know how much longer I can take this. FWIW, I have asked him to get his hearing checked, but he claims it's fine. Should I insist? Should I talk to him again? Should I just stop talking to him at all? Do I need to get earplugs so I never have to hear "what? You're beading a hook?" Again? Help, please.

TL;DR: Husband thinks it's funny to "mishear" me as saying ridiculous things. He's driving me up the wall and I don't know how to get him to stop.

EDIT: Thanks for the responses, everyone! I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one with this issue. I'm going to sit down with my husband tomorrow and try to have a conversation with him about his hearing. I'm hoping he'll agree to a hearing test, but if he won't, I think I can at least explain how his current behavior is maddening and get him to agree to use less irritating ways of asking me to repeat what I said. I'll post if I have an update!

My(24F) narcissistic, toxic mother (65F) wants me to make her best friend's daughter(25F), (a constant source of misery for me in high school btw)who i havent spoken to in 2 years my maid of honour/ bridesmaid instead of my actual best friend

quote:

Just a bit of background info my mother and this friend has always been the source of my low self esteem and depression issues from 11yrs-18yrs to the point that i literally moved to the other side of the world to study and get a job as soon as i turned 18, as soon as i moved away from them and their weird bubble of life i felt so much better i didnt need ANY medication anymore. i havent been back home for more than a week or so for five years but now i've moved back due to visa stuff and planning a wedding.

In high school this girl,her mom and my mum made me feel soooo low and downright hideous, my mum made go over to hers for a sleepover once when i was 11 and it ended up being her saying how ugly i was and that i need a makeover so she cut all my hair to an uneven bob cuz she was 12 and not a skilled hairstylist at all, she pierced my ears with a needle and plucked my eyebrows to the point of no return she then told me i needed to lose weight ( I was already bulimic AND anorexic and weighed 105 pounds at 5'2 which is a normal healthy weight btw, she's taller so her legs naturally look skinnier than mine (think thigh gap) and my mum is constantly saying why i cant get down to her weight but i literally weigh less than her ffs whatever if you cant already tell i have extreme body issues and disordered eating issues) Stuff like this happened regularly all throughout high school. The girl is also the same race as my mum, Im not because im mixed and this has also played a part in this weird obssession of my mum's with her.

Fast forward to now I havent spoken to this person in years and feel much better because of it now my mother is screaming throwing huge sometimes PUBLIC tantrums EVERY SINGLE DAY about how im ruining her friendship with the girls mother by not making her MOH/bridesmaid and they wont invite her to their trips anyore if i dont do it. Today she said the only reason I dont want to make her MOH/bridesmaid is because she'll obviously steal the show and make me look soooo ugly in comparison and everyone will be focused on her instead of me. honestly just typing that out makes me want to cry so much because I know its not true but its like high school all over again, i have basically zero self esteem again, my anorexia is back after having been recovered for about 3 years. i was in suuuuch a good place just a couple of months ago and now its all gone back to square 1.

I know people might be thinking its a stupid thing to make such a big deal out of but I want to actually be happy on my wedding day and i dont want such a toxic wreck standing next to me on the altar, i wasnt even going to invite her but my mother already has, im also having a very small wedding with my two BEST friends as MOH and bridesmaid and NO groomsmen as my fiances friends couldnt afford to fly to my home country for the wedding. ive already planned to just have two bridesmaid so that one person can stand behind me and the other behind my fiance. so apart from generally hating her it also just wouldnt be symmetrical anyway. also who the gently caress expects to be made someones maid of honour when you havent spoken to them in loving YEARS!?!?

Am i right in disagreeing with my mum over this or am i just being dramatic? how do i not let it affect me?! my mum is paying for most of the wedding so she keeps throwing that in my face as well

TLDR: My mother wants me to make my highschool "bully" my maid of honour or bridesmaid because if i dont i'll "ruin the relationship with the girl's mother (my mums best friend) and her friends and she'll never be invited out with them again. She also thinks the only reason i dont want to do it is because "she will outshine me on my wedding day cuz she's so gorgeous" (she isnt, shes completely average and i dont understand why shes so obssessed with her ew)
"My mom is a horrible piece of poo poo and wants me to make another horrible piece of poo poo my MOH. Am I just being dramatic??"

He thinks he’s funny, yes, and he knows she isn’t saying what he’s claiming, yes. But in absolutely no way does that mean he actually hears what she says.
