Me [24 F] with my boyfriend [25 M] 2 years, he wonders if he could be with someone more attractive. Should we try to work it out, or should I leave?

quote:

TL;DR My (24f) boyfriend (25m) of 2 years thinks he can do better, but doesn't want to break up. Not sure if I should end it or not.

My boyfriend and I have been dating just over two years now. We started dating in college, and he asked me to stay after graduation. I lived with relatives for a few months, but wanted to live on my own, and didn't want a roommate. This turned into an argument, because when I brought up the idea of us moving in together after having dated for 5 months or so, he spoke with his mom, who expressed concerns that moving in together made things very serious between us, and weren't we moving rather quickly? He ended up telling me he wasn't sure he saw a future with me, and he always saw himself with someone better looking than me. I was upset, he was upset, but I didn't want to break up, and he didn't either. He apologized, and we moved on. Maybe I should have left then.

We moved in together. I started working out a LOT. Things were great for a long time. We were friends, we supported each other, the sex was great, and we had so much fun. But all that time, I was going to the gym by myself and dieting. I have lost nearly 20 pounds, 135 to 115 lbs and I am 5'4". I feel extremely comfortable and excited about my fitness level. Maybe overconfident, even. I'm not sure. Maybe admiring myself too much.

A few weeks ago, I achieved one of my biggest goals- the pull-up. Three of them. I was ecstatic. I started to feel like I was good enough. Then, he sits me down to have a serious conversation. He expresses concern that I am too obsessed with the gym. Concern that I am going to become bulky. Concern that I talk about it too often. Okay, I say, I can calm down. Tell me what else you are feeling. Where is this coming from? So then, he says it again- "I love you so much- you are funny and smart and kind. But for some reason, ever since you were able to do pullups, I have just been wondering again if maybe I could find someone better looking than you."

I can't let this go twice, can I? He immediately back tracked, and has said he absolutely does not want to break up, and has reassured me a thousand times since that he finds me beautiful and he loves me and wants to be with me and no one else. I've come home to him sobbing because I refused to talk to him. But I can't just let this go again. Part of me hopes that maybe he was only trying to hurt me because he is jealous or trying to control me, but part of me wonders if he was just being honest.

I am just feeling like a balloon floating in the wind, not tethered to anything. I think I am slowly becoming depressed again and my eating habits are trending towards disordered. I have to look at myself in the mirror to reassure myself that I haven't become the elephant man. I even posted to r/amiugly and was met with overwhelming support and kindness. He is going to a therapist because he needs to figure out what he thinks and what he wants and I obviously can't help him do it. I've been interviewing with a company out of state and feel the urge to run, but he tells me he wants to change. He blames his feelings on watching too much porn growing up and comparing his life to the lives of his old fraternity brothers. But I deserve someone who thinks the world of me, don't I?

Should I leave? Can we work it out?

I really don�t think anyone loves apples that much but when you start seeing a bunch of signs saying you can�t eat them or bring them in it�s a big wtf.

It really doesn�t make a lot of sense so I�m sure that�s what is making a lot of people talk about it.

Yeah I guess, I just figured allergies are easy enough to understand and I'd think apples would be way easier to avoid than, say, nuts, so I don't get why they care at all, especially to the point of active and frequent trash talk.

Most (by which I mean almost all) apple allergies are to the pollen on the outside, so juice (but not cider) is actually not going to effect a lot of people with apple allergies.

The reason peanuts are such a worry, allergy wise, is that they�re high in protein and turn into dust easily. Allergies are reactions to foreign protein molecules, so the high protein:everything else ratio of peanuts means it does not take much peanut to set off a reaction, and the fact it turns to dust easily means it can travel far and without being obvious.

Break up. "Too bulky" while losing weight lmao. You can't get too bulky as a man or woman unless you get fat or do PEDs.

What does more attractive even mean? It's totally subjective. The reality is he probably can't find someone more attractive. Break up with him and let him figure that one out for himself.

in honor of opening day

Boyfriend (29M) mad at me (27F) because I kept calling baseball players hot during the game

quote:

My boyfriend and I, together almost 2 years.

He is a huge baseball and hockey fan. In the beginning, I tried desperately to try to understand what was going on. We went to games together, watched TV together, and he would explain every step of the way... but I just couldn't get it. Maybe I am just not very bright. It's been 2 years of this and I still don't really understand baseball (hockey has been a little better.)

But nevertheless I still enjoyed going to games, I liked watching my boyfriend get really into them, and I liked the general sports atmosphere (food, beer, TV.) He knew that I had mostly given up on trying to understand, but still fed me random tidbits of special things happening during games and I'd listen.

Yesterday we were watching a game together on TV and I was in the middle of making dinner and catching glimpses of it as I moved in and out of the room. I guess things were not going well on his team, but I tried to lighten the mood by giving him samples of the food I was making, which he likes. During one of these moments I commented on one of the baseball players' close up and said Wow! He is so cute! My boyfriend grumbled about how he is NOT cute, and NOT playing well, he could have caught that ball, etc, etc.

I left the room and about 5 minutes later, I came back out and watched from behind him and commented again, that guy is so hot! My boyfriend said That's the same guy! (I actually had no idea and still don't know who I saw.)

I called him to dinner and he kept the TV on and again, I commented, that guy looks so tall, I think I love him. And then my boyfriend slammed his fork down and said, we're the same loving height. Why are you doing this?

I just want to first say that we are not a "jealous" couple. He and I frequently compare notes on hot women and hot men that pass by us when we go out, talk about celebrities and who we'd like to hook up with, etc. It has never been a big deal to joke around like that.

So I was really shocked when he snapped at me like that. I told him I was just kidding, and he snapped again "no, you're not" and was picking at his food, not really eating. I started tearing up because I was so shocked and he looked at me and started laying into me about "is picking the hottest guys on all the teams the only thing you've learned about baseball" and "so what if he's cute- he's playing like poo poo." I apologized and he just waved me off and didn't really say anything else.

I decided to leave the house after that and go to a coffee shop for a few hours to clear my head. When I got back, he was already in bed and we never really got to make up.

My question is.. did I really gently caress up during an important moment? Did I provoke him at a bad time? Is that extremely irritating to hear, as a guy, when your team is not doing well? Is he actually upset that I never "got" baseball? If so.... what can I really do about that?

TLDR: Boyfriend was watching baseball, I commented 3 times that a few baseball players was cute or hot, and he got really irritated at me, asking me if that's all I care about. I felt shocked at him snapping at me like that and feel hurt, but wonder if I also hurt him or provoked him at the wrong time. Did I do that? How can I fix this?

My [25M] best friend [25M] is the vet that put my girlfriends [24F] dog down and now my girlfriend wants me to stop talking to him

quote:

As the title states my girlfriend had to put down her dog a couple of months ago. It was really sudden and he was still quite young so we weren't at all prepared for it. He was her dog but we've been together for two years and living together for one so it was hard on me too. We took him to the only emergency animal hospital in our town that's open 24/7 which is where my best friend happens to work. He was the vet that ended up helping us. We ran all kinds of tests and tried a few things to help him but ultimately put him down that night. As much as the situation sucked, I think my friend was excellent at handling everything and my girlfriend didn't seem to have any issues with him.

For the past two months she has expressed that she thinks her dog wasn't actually sick and our friend just ran all of those tests and put him down so he could make money. I tried to be sympathetic at first but now she's straight up insulting my friend and wants me to stop hanging out with him. My buddies and I have baseball season tickets (she has one too) and every time I go she asks if the "dog murderer" is going to be there and if he's going she won't come. She whines every time I get to get together with my friends too if he's going to be there.

Can you guys think of anything I can do to get this to stop? I think it's really disrespectful and I'm probably going to break up with her if it continues.

tl;dr: my friend is the vet that put down our dog and my girlfriend thinks he ran all these tests and put him down just to make money.

I [38F] gave birth to my daughter 3 weeks ago. My husband [40M] has been playing with the boys [16M&17M] and has been paying [13M] to help me look after the baby.

quote:

I gave birth three weeks ago to my daughter. My son, Ben has been the biggest help I could ask for. He's been getting anything I need, has been carrying her when she cries. Basically just coming around to see when something is wrong. Ben has also been cleaning the house which is something I normally do. My husband has been MIA and it's been the cause of many arguments. He keeps telling me he's bonding with his boys. He's gone everyday after school playing with the boys and he's taken them to the park to play football today.

Ben does not play football he plays baseball and he's drat good at it. He is a really, really fast pitcher. My husband and Ben never really had much in common if I think about it. He's never liked Football or UFC while my husband and other sons have. So Ben never really gets invited out to these things and if I ask for him to go he never really enjoys it. That as well has been the source of many arguments.

Ben asked me if he could have the $400 he said I owed him. I laughed at first and I told him ans told him in his dreams. He stormed off saying it's not fair he said he would pay me. I asked him what he was talking about. He told me my husband said he would pay him if he filled in for him. Ben said he was happy to help but he wanted money.

I sent my husband a text saying

"Really? You said, Ben to do the things a husband is meant to do? What are you 5? Get home now."

Him: " Stop being a salty cucumber, you're overreacting. I'll help you tomorrow."

I really am over this.

TL;DR: I am over my husband. He paid our son to look after myself and the baby, while he took our two older sons out to have fun. This has been an ongoing issues.

Who calls someone a salty cucumber? Besides that oddity, I've never had a problem with this story all the times it has been posted. It's reasonable to delegate tasks to the kids, $400 is fair enough compensation for a 13 year old helping out around the house, and besides the husband's reaction to being busted, he should have gone home to help, it all seems pretty legit. Also, "I really am over this" is a horrible thing to say on so many levels. I'm not even clear on what she's upset about or "over".
