Oh, they tried to do that, but OP and biomom weren't having it:

My ancestors were part of an ethnic minority, and my parents were having me learn things that didn't apply to me. I had actually tried to tell them this already, but they didn't believe me until my biological mother told them.

In one of her comments OP claims it's really small and that she's never met anyone else from there, so probably not India.

e: She also says she was already planning an Amsterdam trip with her friends, and makes it sound like this is a choice between paying to go on that trip or going with the free trip to this country she has zero interest in.

There pretty much isn't a country that doesn't have ethnic minorities except maybe like Iceland, despite the best attempts of the majority at times.

corn on the cop: Oct 12, 2012; Break what must be broken, once for all, that's all, and take the suffering on oneself.

â Corey Dostoyevsky

Found out my [F 43] husband [M 44] based his entire career off his fetish.

quote:

He's a foot surgeon. A few days ago I had to borrow his laptop, and found a wealth of foot fetish porn material. This is after he's always told me he doesn't watch any porn. I found that unusual but obviously not a bad thing. Now I find he's got folders full of feet related pictures and videos he's downloaded. His internet history also shows the same.

He's pulling these from the internet, but he also uploads pictures of his patients' feet, to the websites he's a member of. The whole time he's at his practice he's collecting these. He even writes long erotica for a foot fetish forum about what he sees as a foot doctor.

Keep in mind in addition to the no porn thing, he'd also told me he has no kinks or fetish fantasies, we've discussed it before. I have a much higher libido but thought we were both on the same page of pretty standard sexual interests. Not saying a foot fetish is shockingly extreme, but trying to underscore he had PLENTY of opportunity to mention it. He never did. I actually thought he's pretty disinterested in sex...I've always wanted it more than him. To be honest, this is embarrassing, but over the 15 years we've been together our sex pattern has been once or twice a month. Usually initiated by me, so finding out how deep this sexual interest runs is really a shock to me.

Anyway after sitting on it a couple days, I broached it today as it's the weekend. He exploded at me for snooping, yes I did admit I snooped through his computer. I apologized but tried to go back to my question about what I found. I mean this collection was...vast. Extensive. It was like a massive hive of folders within folders, ordered by themes, I saw items dating back years... How long had he hidden this part of his sexuality from me??? He confessed he'd hidden it from the beginning. Well he was already in school to be a podiatrist when we met... after a lot of beating around the bush type denial, he admitted he's had the foot fetish since he was a teen. It was basically the driving reason behind his choice in career.

I'm having a hard time sorting out my feelings right now. You might say a fetish isn't a big deal, people can be embarrassed of them so they keep them secret. Or if he's not being sexual towards patients at work what's the problem. That doesn't do away with how I feel like he lied to me since the beginning. I'm not sexually judgmental and he could have brought it up any time. Instead he lied over and over during normal conversations about sex, lied about watching porn, the amount he masturbates (whole other subject), the low amount of sex we have is probably somehow tied to this, etc. I just feel duped. Like him as a sexual person isn't at all who I thought he was. Then this impacted my sex life with him from the very beginning in ways I couldn't see.

Then there's the work thing, what the gently caress? Who decides their career path based on their fetish? Taking pictures of patients and posting them online has to violate the law. Becoming a doctor to see people's feet when feet turn you on is like if a guy became a gynecologist just to see women's genitals (I know most male gyno's aren't in it for that, I'm just saying my husband's motive would be the same as a gyno who was, and getting off to people without them knowing.)

Does this all make sense? I'm kind of a mess right now and trying to work out exactly why this bothers me so much. My main feeling is feeling betrayed. At the risk of sounding dramatic, I don't know if I can trust him now.

My husband was really resistant to telling me any of this. Now I can't know he's not still hiding more. He was really upset, he's now left the house to cool down. One thing he said was he never wanted me to know "that side of him." I do not know what to begin to make of that.

Where do I go from here? At a total loss right now. Any suggestions are welcome, including if you think I'm being ridiculous at all.

TL;DR: I discovered my husband has a severe foot fetish he's completely hidden from me. It went so far as him choosing years ago to become a podiatrist which he's been doing since I met him 15 years ago.

hahahahaha

What she did:
-violated the consent of the guests who got surprise sexytime, probably supremely embarrassing the OP and making the pair look like freaks while also supremely pissing off the visitor's SOs
-violated the consent of her husband and their relationship because none of this was agreed-upon beforehand, and it even sounds like they agreed on doing the exact opposite
-vilated the husband's trust, again, which was damaged by her cheating earlier on

Like I'm all for fangbangs and stuff but the only thing worse than sex stuff without consent is sex stuff without consent directed at multiple people. She's a loving idiot who deserves to get Pete'd by the OP.

FAKE EDIT - I'm leaving that gangbang typo intact lmao

As someone from DR living in a mostly white area, the parents may mean well but there is nothing more dehumanizing than reducing you to your country of origin when you're culturally American as apple pie. A lot of people who don't grow up around their native country's culture feel about as indifferent to it as any random kid.

Imagine having Italian descent and having people only talk to you in Italian, then look at you like you have three heads and frown if you say "sorry, I only speak English." If ads came for you in the mail in Italian because that was the origin of your last name. If after hearing the always unique "where are you from" question and having to shake your head at a bunch of retarded guesses, they finally get it right then talk about how beautiful and exotic the culture is where your knowledge of its culture comes from 3 curse words learned by distant relatives and a special on the Travel Channel.

... Sorry, the OP of that post touched a nerve. :shobon:

....except they're both part of the well-worn Southeast Asia backpacker trail and visited by hundreds, if not thousands, of solo female travelers of her age every year? I mean, there are places where it would be a bad idea for a woman to be traveling alone by herself, but those two certainly aren't it.

Also, the only source for it being dangerous is her biomom, who herself left Country X as a very young child and is possibly basing her judgement on that time period. Like, yeah, it would have been pretty dangerous for a woman (any woman) to be on her own in Cambodia in the 80s. Now? A lot less so.

Me [23F] with my friend [20 M]- he thinks he's the next son of God and should rule the world.Non-Romantic

quote:

EDIT: Link to update

This is going to sound like the biggest troll post ever, but I swear it's real. My friend, Noah (20 M) has absolutely gone off the deep end. I've known him for about 5 months. He comes over for drinking nights and to hang out with my roommates. I'm not super close to him, but he's a nice guy and I've never noticed anything out of the ordinary. He's a bit socially awkward, but that's nothing weird.

This post is probably going to be very long, so I apologize in advance. First thing I wanna say is that I KNOW he needs professional help. Please, give me any advice other than that. We are working on getting him to see someone. I have emailed multiple psychiatrists. We haven't brought it up to him yet because he would instantly shut us out for being "evil", so we want to work on helping him ourselves until we can get him to a professional.

Noah has quit his job, dumped his girlfriend, practically disowned his parents and won't talk to his roommate because he's "evil." All in the past week.

Basically, Noah believes that he is the next son of God. He recently experimented with drugs and is diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder (not the best combo). "Yada yada, don't do drugs", "D.A.R.E", "Just say no." I'm not blaming the drugs, saying people are bad for doing them, or discouraging anyone from trying new things. I'm just telling the story. We think he's stopped taking his medication.

Noah believes that he has to gather 12 disciples (including me) in order to change the world. Each disciple will take over one part of the economy, social changes, blah blah and he will be their overseer. He believes that his is ordained by God to become the next ruler of the world.

He believes that he can create a pair of shoes that lets us connect to the energy of the world and make us immortal.

He believes his disciples will train others so that if they are unable to do their duty through illness, death or stress then there would be someone to take over.

He believes his plan will bring peace, hope and harmony to the world. (Nice thought, terrible execution)

He has stated that he plans to march to Washington as soon as he gets the money to talk to Obama, who in turn will recognize Noah's God given right and hand over the country to him. Once Noah controls the country, he'll start working on the others.

Today Noah came over and spoke to my roommates.

I live with my boyfriend(we'll call him Peter) (25 M), his brother (we'll call him Ryan) (20 M) and a friend (we'll call him Lenny) (21 M).

Today Noah came over and talked to Lenny and brought a random guy (Let's call him Tom) with him. Peter and I were sitting in our bedroom and overheard most of it. They were discussing scripture at first. We were terrified that Noah had found Tom and somehow converted him and they were both trying to convince Lenny, but luckily that wasn't the case. Tom is a Christian, but he was combating Noah's plans and beliefs with verses from the Bible. He does not agree with Noah's plans, and the rest of us are relieved.

Tom stayed for about an hour, then left. He made it very clear to us that he thinks Noah needed professional help, in case it wasn't already obvious. Noah brought over a 3 page long copy of his plan that outlines a general idea of what he wants to do. He gave me a copy, and I typed it out to send to the psychiatrists I've already emailed. I will also paste it here for you guys to read so you have a better understanding of what's going on.

This is a copy of Noah's plan. I have fixed a few spelling mistakes, made new paragraphs, and excluded names other than Noah's, but his words are the same.

quote:
The Ultimate Plan for the Future of the Human Race.

My plan to elevate humanity to its highest potential, one without suffering is to first create a council of 12 humans of extraordinary strength, will, and spirit, modeled after the twelve Olympians in Greek Mythology. Each will be the figurehead of one branch of a global government I will call Olympus. Each branch will have control over a specific aspect of human progress. We will take the names of the 12 Olympians because the Greeks understood the natural structure of how to more efficiently conduct order. They almost created the perfect society, but the golden age of man was not upon us yet. Humanity will break the cycle this time.

My name is Noah (last name), and I will be in the namesake of Zeus, and I will head the biotechnology sector. I swear before whoever reads or hears this that my life's goal will be to further the advancement of biotechnology and the order of the human race, and my council will swear nothing but to further their own departments of human progress. It is time for me to search for my council ordained by God himself, expressed through my free spirit. I have yet to find my Hera. She will head the medicine sector. My Poseidon will be (name here). He will head the energy and power sector. My Demeter is Unknown. She will head the chemistry and biology sector. My Athena is unknown. She will head the information and defense sector. my Apollo will be (name here) and he will head the art and medicine sector. my artemis is unknown. She will head the exploration and travel sector. My Ares will be (name here ) and he will head the military and peacekeeping sector. My Aphrodite is unknown. She will head the beauty sector. My Hephaestus will be (name here) and he will head the manufacturing and weaponry sector. My Hermes is (name here). He will head the communication and economics sector. My Hestia is unknown. She will head the architecture and shelter sector.

These people will be my 12 disciples and I personally will oversee them all, and in turn, the progress of the entirety of humanity. When these disciples are unable to continue fulfilling their duties properly, due to personal fatigue, assassination, or peaceful death, they will be replaced with their choice of learned disciple, the best humanity has to offer in that sector. The decision will be voted on by all of humanity, through the internet, whenever the time comes for it. As it is ordained by God to choose replacements for ourselves, for God is the ultimate teacher. We have shown that as humans, we experience nature, and through repetitive action, we form it ourselves.

This is true in all aspects of life. it is evolution, a widely accepted phenomena by the smartest people in the world. We are becoming more and more intelligent as a species and we should strive to let go our past baggage and live in peace and harmony as is required by God. it is our purpose in life, ever since cast from the Garden of Eden into the chaos of the world, it is humanity's purpose to create order from nothing. And in this balance of chaos and order we find tranquility. In the future we will learn to strike balance in all things and we will live in harmony as happy people and we will find other people whom our souls are meant for and we will procreate and spread. We will find that there are enough resources in nature for us to ALL live happily, and that the universe is a very large place, and we have a lot of time left and a lot of living to do.

We are on the precipice my fellow men and women, the crossroads of destiny, the tipping point of humanity where we will learn to live in equilibrium with all things. And we will be happy and we will be free. This is the human plan, and it is righteous and noble, and it is our onnly hope. I have all the information we need already. It is ordained by God and the universe that my name is Noah, and it is ordained that my purpose is to lead humanity on the ark to the new world. Some will perish in the 'flood', yea, but those that do have had the pain of wrong thoughts and actions taken upon them and if their souls have truly become corrupted and they are truly irreparable then we must pity them and put them to rest. If the opposite is true then we can change them, like we have the power to change all aspects of life. We must end suffering to create the new world order.

For I have found the right way to conduce the mind, and the body, and the spirit. It is ordained by God and the universe and I am his messenger and I will carry out his words with my actions. And you will learn from my actions and you will follow me, and I will become king of this new world and I will usher in an untold era of peace and prosperity for all people.

After Noah spoke to Tom and Lenny, he came into my bedroom and asked if we had heard anything he was saying. Up until then, we had only eavesdropped and listened to what Ryan and Lenny had told us.

I told him that I heard a little bit (which meant everything, cause I'm hooked) and Noah asked if I believed any of it. I told him I wasn't religious and he said he wanted to talk to me about everything and that I'd see his point of view.

He told me that his soul was so connected to mine (and other people's, so not in a sexual/weird way? if this isn't considered weird) and that I was going to be one of the six females on his council of 12. He asked me about my interests (listed in the document I posted) but none of the ones he listed matched my personality. That's when he handed me the document to read so I could "figure out which one I was".

If I had to pick one, it'd probably be Artemis. (She will head the exploration and travel sector.) Obviously I don't believe any of this and he won't be able to convince me. He wanted to sit down and talk right then but I told him Peter and I had guests coming over, which was the truth. He looked confused and asked if that was going to be an issue. I told him it was, because I hadn't seen this friend in a year and a half and I wanted to spend time with him. He was obviously hurt by this, as if he expected me to drop my plans to listen to him for another two hours. But he respected my wish and simply left me with the document.

He went back to Lenny's room and asked if he could borrow the whiteboards (Lenny is a Physics major, and apparently is Poseidon in the document- energy and power sector). Lenny said he could borrow the whiteboards, then Noah left.

Or so we thought.

We waited a few minutes for him to leave, then Peter, Lenny and I started to talk about everything that happened. We had already decided we were going to get him professional help about two days ago, but we needed to figure out what we were going to do in the near future because we know Noah won't willingly go to a psychiatrist.

Lenny then left to go pick up Peter's brother (Lenny and Ryan are best friends, roomies from college, Noah was their roommate in their Freshman year).

About 15 minutes after Lenny leaves, Noah comes back and walks into mine and Peters's room. He asked if he could stay in Lenny's room for a little while and work on the whiteboards. He would be quiet because he knew we had company coming over, he just wanted to write a bunch of stuff. We told him that wasn't up to us since it was Lenny's bedroom, and we told him to call Lenny.

He asked if we wanted him to leave the bedroom and said he would go downstairs to call. I told him he didn't have to sit in the living room alone, he could sit with us until he got an answer from Lenny. Lenny didn't answer the phone because he was driving, and Noah looked like he didn't want to say anything. He doesn't want to go home because he believes his roommate is evil and will try to corrupt him. We very gently told him he couldn't stay. He mentioned that Lenny said he could borrow the whiteboards (we heard Lenny say it, so that was fine). He took them, then left. That's the end of the night for Noah.

Once again, for everyone who likes to skim posts. We totally understand that he needs professional help, but because we won't be able to get him to a psychiatrist just yet we need advice on what to do in the short term.

At this point, no one else thinks that he is a physical danger to himself or anyone else. I don't know him on a super personal level, but being around someone unstable does make me a bit nervous, simply because I am small and Noah is strong for a skinny guy. He has never, ever made any threatening comment toward me or anyone else. His former roommates, Lenny and Ryan, have assured me multiple times that he is not dangerous. I'm going to be cautious around him, but I don't think reporting him to the police is the right thing to do either.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you guys might have, I'm sure I've probably left out an important detail.

I could write a lot more, because I've heard a lot over the past 5 days but I'm sure this is enough to get my point across.

tl;dr: Me, my roommates and some other are supposed to help Noah take over the world. How do we help him instead?

Edit: His parents know, though I'm not sure to what extent. Noah talked to them a few days ago. Ryan talked to them yesterday, but I haven't seen him to hear what was said.

UPDATE: https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/3xsjf7/update_me_23f_with_my_friend_20_m_he_thinks_hes/

quote:

So my friend Noah has been institutionalized. We were able to get his parents on board. We called the non-emergency number to find out what we had to do to get him help and they told us he can only be held against his will with the approval of two family members.

Luckily my roommate was able to get in contact with Noah's parents earlier today (we have not been able to do so for the past week), and they gave permission. We found him and they took him to the institution today.

I got a lot of hate for not wanting to get the school involved, which was ridiculous. There's really not much they could do other than send him to counseling, which can be done through other means. I don't like the idea of a school being some sort of authority figure for things that happen off campus. He does not live in a dorm and none of these events happened on school grounds.

Apparently he told the people evaluating him that he is a new species of human. That is all I know about his evaluation, other than they are going to hold him.

Thanks to all the people that were polite in their advice.

tl;dr: The disciples of God have spoken and deemed the usurper unworthy of his power.

Why are foot fetishists always such goddamn weirdos? It's never like "Dang that's a nice foot" it's always on the level of "I'LL GIVE YOU $500 TO STEP ON MY FACE"

If you are a woman on fiver roughly half the tasks sent you are requests for pictures of your feet, weird pictures of your feet, or complicated tasks that require pictures of your feet to prove for some reason

Sounds like an enterprising woman could set up a sole proprietorship company and stomp out a few dozen pictures a month that nail that segment of the market.

....except they're both part of the well-worn Southeast Asia backpacker trail and visited by hundreds, if not thousands, of solo female travelers of her age every year? I mean, there are places where it would be a bad idea for a woman to be traveling alone by herself, but those two certainly aren't it.

Also, the only source for it being dangerous is her biomom, who herself left Country X as a very young child and is possibly basing her judgement on that time period. Like, yeah, it would have been pretty dangerous for a woman (any woman) to be on her own in Cambodia in the 80s. Now? A lot less so.

My hot take is that it's actually ok for this girl not to want to go on a trip which she never asked for to a place she has no interest in going to. Especially when it's not paid or booked or anything so there's literally no downside to anyone if she just says no thanks.

(NY) Bikini Wax Gone Wrong

quote:

Slightly embarrassing story but also seriously in need of advice.

In preparation for summer vacation my wife went to get a bikini wax. We don�t want to name the studio, but it is a supposedly highly recommended, fancy business with multiple locations. An hour later she calls me crying saying that something terrible happened. Somehow, the person performing the waxing tore a 4 cm long 1 cm wide gash in her skin, (between her outer and inner labia). A lot of blood and a lot of pain. I urged her to contact her doctor's office who sent her on to the ER. End result: 9 stitches by a specialist plastic surgeon.

We were planning on leaving on vacation tomorrow and probably still will (it�s a family reunion, my wife is adamant about going) but there will be no going in the ocean or the pool and very limited physical activity in general.

The lady performing the waxing was very apologetic and shocked, she stopped the treatment, my wife left without paying and they said management would reach out ASAP etc.

What do we do now? It was obvious (the doctor said as much) that we will get a hefty bill (plastic surgeons are out of network) in the mail. We have insurance, but it is pretty basic and I'm assuming we will hit our deductible/maximum by the sounds of it. I would guess that the studio would eat any medical charges without much complaint but do we need to take legal action? If so, how does one go about finding a good lawyer (what kind?)? We are very much novices to both medical expenses and any kind of legal matters.

We have little interest in ruining this business but obviously this is going to be expensive and put a serious damper on a week of vacation time we�ve been looking forward to for a long time.

Very thankful for any advice.

EDIT: No current medication or past medication like accutane. She has been waxes multiple times before, but this was the first with a method called "sugaring" which is marketed as more gentle.

I got a lot of hate for not wanting to get the school involved, which was ridiculous. There's really not much they could do other than send him to counseling, which can be done through other means. I don't like the idea of a school being some sort of authority figure for things that happen off campus. He does not live in a dorm and none of these events happened on school grounds.

Good on OP, her friends, and the mental-break guy�s parents for taking the right steps, but goddamn Redditors will hate on even the most rational and pragmatic posters.

I once called a guy �honey� and offered sound advice, but because I called him �honey� I got jumped on for being �demeaning�.
