I kinda understood wife of vacation giver until he outlined his finances. No debt, maxed out 401k, and aggressive extra mortgage payments?

"But we could have had an extra 2k on top of the mountains and mountains of money we already have? How dare you give it to some undeserving poor?!"

Title boring, contents funny, also this poster used paragraphs :dings:

Me [23/F] with my boyfriend [24/M] of 6 months, can't move in together due to his overbearing mom

quote:

Boyfriend [24M] and I have been together 6 months, we've known we'll be getting married at some point since the first week we met. We live about an hour away from each other, with our parents, and would like to move in together this year. There are several issues getting in the way of this, mainly revolving around his mother [52/F].

She's overprotective-She doesn't approve of us moving in together until we're married, and constantly checks in on her son and I. We've spent the night together several times when traveling for a weekend or so, and she's gone so far as to call him at 3 am to see if he's okay (why wouldn't he be?), even though he replies to her incessant texts throughout the day/night. She has to know where he is and what he's doing at all hours of the day, she keeps tabs on his bank account and he HAS to pick up the phone any time she calls. She doesn't allow him to drink sugary beverages or eat unhealthy foods. She mandates when he has to go to bed and when he needs to wake up. She has one other child [20/F], who she's molded into being completely dependent on her mother for everything, the 20 y/o can't even drive or spend a night on her own. Luckily my bf has kind of pushed those boundaries and has had some experience living independently.

She's overbearing-Since she paid for my bf's undergrad degree and he used some family money to start an investment business, she will not allow him to spend any money he's earned until he pays her back in full. Meaning, I pay for all our dates, I use my car to drive us around, and he isn't able to move out until he can pay for everything on his own. He has no access to any of his money, his car, or anything without her approval and this is one of the things that upsets me most, since I'm always driving an hour to go see him, and his mother won't allow him to use his own car to come over to see me, spend money on dates with me, or live on his own yet. She uses money/his car to control him and I've often had to swoop in and give him rides, pay for his meals, etc., when we weren't even supposed to be seeing each other because she's so uptight about him not spending his money. She's also deeply involved with his work/business and invites herself along to any and all meetings he has.

She's made me uncomfortable by crossing a few lines-On several occasions, she's driven my bf/dropped him off wherever we were supposed to meet for our date, and then TAGGED ALONG. She sometimes refuses to leave us alone. Another thing, she once brought up that she wants us to raise our kids a certain way, up to her standards even though my bf and I have never discussed us having children with her. She's also tried to control the way my bf and I speak to each other, like she wants us to speak a certain way when we're around her and thinks we should practice even when she's not around.

This didn't bother me at first in the relationship because I couldn't see how much control she has over him but as time has gone on, I've not only felt like she's controlling him but me as well. Recently, we've been making an effort to see each other more than once a week (we're getting more serious so we'd like to spend more time together), and when his mom noticed this, she told him that she doesn't want me to come over more than once a week because I could disrupt his focus on work and getting into a masters program. Since I'm the one obligated to drive an hour to see him and use my car and my money when we want to do things together, this has started to weigh on me because I don't feel like the relationship is equal. He has expressed that he wants to see me more often and he loves spending time with me, but he doesn't want to rock the boat at home with his mom so we should abide by her rules for a bit.

Not only does the current situation bother me, but I'm thinking she's only going to get worse as time goes on and we do decide to move in, get married and have kids together. I'm also scared that she can come up with new excuses and new ways to control him so as to prevent us from moving in once he's paid her, and that there's always going to be some manuver on her part to control him and so on. I love my bf and I know he's the one for me, and he's nothing like his mom but he is a little bit of a pushover, and he loves his mom. She guilts him into being loyal to her and only her, so he's always going along with what she tells him to do.

I don't want to tell him that he needs to stop listening to his mom because she's got control of all his money and his car, etc., but I do want him to draw some lines and make her back off a bit. I don't know how to approach this with him, I don't want to make him angry at me or feel like he's backed into a corner more than he already is, I also don't want to be another controlling woman in his life. What can I do to draw a line myself or encourage him to do so without telling him?

TL;DR: My boyfriend's mom is obsessed with controlling his life including his finances, his work, and his relationship with me. This is preventing us from getting further in our relationship and I need help creating some boundaries between him and her.

Me [35 M] with my husband [34 M] of 2 years: I found out he ordered underwear online from a porn star

quote:

Today I found out that my husband has emailed a pornstar to order a pair of their dirty underwear. I read the email and it was short, but graphic, about why my husband wanted the underwear. Basically, for all the reasons you can imagine.

I don't know how to feel.

I have no issue with pornography. And it's not really cheating. But, it still hurts and makes me upset. I haven't said anything to him yet - - but what should I say? Or should I ignore it and pretend I didn't see the email? (I had his permission to go into his email to do something unrelated.)

tldr: my husband has ordered dirty underwear from a pornstar and I don't know what to do/day.

Family(41f, 62f, 65m) is upset I'm(19f) trying to lose weight.

quote:

I've been big my entire life. I've been surrounded by unhealthy eating habits and lack of exercise my entire life.

Now that I have a job and income I can lose weight. I buy my own food, I go to the gym whenever possible.

I've kept sweets to a minimum, no more regular soda but the amount of diet soda I drink is 1 or 2 a week, if that.

My family isn't happy. My grandparents(who I live with) tell me I'm wasting my money and time by going to the gym since "God wants me to be big"

I bought some steak and chicken for meal prep, came home from work to find out they had a barbeque and used everything I bought.

I went out and got a new scale, grandma told me "Our scale is just fine!" It has no batteries and varies 20-30lbs when you step on it.

My mother who is the most unhappy frequently tells me I'm going to lose what little breasts I have or that I'm gonna be incredibly flat and therefore unattractive since "Real me like curves"

They dont have to join me on losing weight. I already know they won't. But is there a way I can get to them to leave me alone?

TL;DR Family doesn't want me to lose weight. Frequently try to sabotage my efforts by cooking/eating the healthy food I get before I can do meal prep, filling the house with unhealthy foods or complaining about my gym time or what I'm eating.

From r/sex instead of r/relationships...

quote:

My new boyfriend cannot receive a blowjob like a normal human being

Before I begin -- I know this is going to sound like a joke, but please trust that it is real. You can be as skeptical as you want, but I'm the one who has to live out this nightmare.

I [24f] have been dating this new guy [26m] for the past 3 months and it's been going swimmingly. He's charming, funny, not a slob (important), we click, yada yada. The sex is also passionate and usually really good. His head game is on point and I reciprocate often. When giving him a blowjob he is vocal, which can't be said for many guys.

There is only one issue. He has a very "memey" sense of humor, which I generally enjoy. When I'm going down on him, he'll squirm and moan, but will only say variants of

Give me the succ

In the past 3 months I have kept mental note of all of these variant interjections. They include but are not limited to

She succ me
She succ me through my boxers
She succ me with no clothes on
Succ baby succ

All aboard the succ train

Succ me like a hungry baby
Succ me into an existential crisis
Gimme dat succ-out-of-jail-free card
Succ at a 100
The first rule of succ club is give me the succ

I swear this is all he will say. If you don't believe me, I failed nearly every creative writing class in high school so there is no way I could've come up with all that poo poo. At first I thought it was the funniest thing on the planet. It's still funny. But it's hard to do my job when I can't stop cracking up. It's getting to the point where I can't really give him oral anymore because I start cackling even before we begin.

I kind of want him to stop because it's getting old, but then he will pull out some new outlandish phrase and grin devilishly as I struggle to pleasure him without choking on my own laughter. It's interfering with our foreplay at this point. We've spoken about it outside of the bedroom and he doesn't seem to take it seriously because I can't confront him about it without breaking down into bouts of laughter. And I kind of don't know if I want it to stop because it's so god drat ridiculous.

Please help me figure out if this is becoming a problem or if I've entered some sort of succ twilight zone that bestows immortality.

My [22F] boyfriend [27M] told me his family and friends would always be more important than me

quote:

We’re out on vacation and yesterday night he was on his phone texting way too much. I got upset over it & he said it’s his brothers wanting to know what’s going on, and said that I can’t make him stop texting them.

I said I should be more important since I’m with him right now & he shouldn’t text. A huge argument ensued. Told me his brothers will ALWAYS come before me, or any future wife of his. Told me I can’t talk badly upon any of his friends because I supposedly can’t determine what is a brother and what isn’t to him, so his friends ALSO come before me.

We have been together 3 years. I have a family but I’m not close to them because they turned a blind eye towards my abuse by my late father. I love my mom but she never put me first, always my abusive father. for once I want someone to put me first. When I have a husband I will put him first before anyone else.

I think him saying that was a deal breaker but he’s telling me I’m crazy for thinking that way, that I’m selfish and it’s not reasonable. I don’t know if he’s right or not, is he? He’s considered my best friend and my family but I’m not considered the same...

TLDR: Boyfriend of 3 years told me I’ll never be as important to him as his brothers are, or his best friends are to him, even if we are married. I don’t like that but not sure if I’m being rational about it because I don’t know what having a family of being very close to a friend is like.

Me [42 M] with my Son "roger" [16 M] , has started wearing facepaint anytime he goes out and has started hanging out with a girl that is a bad influence.

quote:

u/Sonisajuggalo

A few months ago, my son started failing classes. Since school just got over, he failed two classes. This kid has gotten A's and B's up until a few months ago.

Around this same time, he started hanging out with some girl from school. I don't know what kids call it these days, but she wears a lot of baggy clothing, pale make up and wears ICP shirts everytime I've seen her. I think my son is in love with her because he now ALWAYS paints his face before he goes out, with the exception of when he was going to school. He had about $500 saved up and I guess he went out and bought all these ICP shirts and hats.

At first, I didn't know what ICP was, so i googled it. I found that there is a culture around this band and they call themselves juggalos. I found a lot of negative stuff about juggalos, so naturally I was concerned. Some even consider it a gang.

I brought this up with my son and asked him if he was on drugs. This was about two weeks after he started dressing this way. he told me to mind my own business and slammed his bedroom door in my face. If i ever talked to my dad that way, I got smacked upside the head, but these days it's considered child abuse so I didn't do much at this point.

I waited a few days and tried to talk to him about it again. This time, he told me that I was being dumb and that he wasn't doing drugs. I asked him who he was wearing facepaint. He told me that it was no different then me wearing KISS make up when I went to one of their concerts years ago. I told him that I was going to a concert, not going to the grocery store to buy a gallon of milk.

The argument really didn't get anywhere and I decided to let it go. This was until we went out for our yearly mothers day dinner. We usually go to a decent restaurant and this year we decided to go to Macaroni Grill. Well my son decided he was going to wear his facepaint and ICP clothes to this dinner. I was pissed off and told him to go change. I told him that this wasn't a circus and we were celebrating his mother. He got very upset and yelled some profanity at me about how I am a horrible father. I don't know if I was in the wrong here, so let me know what you guys think.

Because of this argument, we didn't go to dinner. I feel horrible about it for my wifes sake, and I did make it up to her the next day but that isn't relevent to the issue at hand.

So up until last week, my son and I had little contact and when I would try to talk to him, he gave me the silent treatment. This last weekend I found something no father wishes they would ever find. Call me a bad father for snooping, but I did. He was out doing his thing with this girl and I wanted to see if he had any drugs in his room. I thought MAYBE I would find some pot. If I did, I would confiscate it and ground him for a few weeks. But what I found was a white powdery substance in a small ziploc bag.

I knew exactly what this was. I had a cocaine problem before I met my wife so I knew what it looked like. To make sure I was headed in the right direction, I smelled the bag. It was def. cocaine. Obivously being a former addict, I didn't want to taste it to be 100% sure. I went and talked with my wife about it and she was shocked. We didn't know what to do.

Hours later, my son showed up with this girl. I called him out about what I found and he completely lost it and told me I had no right to go through his things. I realize I might be a horrible father for this but I would be even more horrible if he had died from an overdose. He didn't even deny it. After his yelling was finished, I asked the girl to leave and that this was a family matter. My son told me to "gently caress off" and took her to his room. My wife was crying and I was fuming. It took a lot not to slap him across the head but I maintained myself and didn't resort to that.

What I did next is what I feel was the best thing I could do. I called the police on them. My wife is still very upset with me for this, but I didn't see another way to help him out short of physically forcing his girlfriend out and him to stay. The cops came, found that he had some pot. The girl was asked to leave and my son was told if he tried to leave, they (the cops) would take him to a youth detention center for a few days.

Well since all of this, my son has been grounded and is not allowed to see this girl. It's easy for me to blame it all on the girl, but I am sure I failed somewhere for my son to act this way.

Apparently he is talking to my wife and asked her about going to some fesitval juggalos and ICP has. I looked it up and it sounds like bad news. My wife said he could go without talking to me.

I am at a loss at this point. While I want my son to experience life, he seems to be headed down a dangerous road and my wife is enabling it. I did talk to my wife about it, and all she can say is that this is "our" way of making up for calling the cops on him.

Can someone who has had troubles youth give me some pointers here? If I am going about it the wrong way, I would appreciate your input. What would you guys do?

tl;dr: Son was good student, met a girl and went downhill. I must have failed somewhere because he is talking back, using drugs and has decided wearing facepaint to mothersday dinner is a good idea. I called the cops on him and this girl when i confronted him about the drugs and he told me to "gently caress off", went into his room with this girl. I need advice.
