You can’t set rules and expectations for your children’s behavior, or not buy them $300,000 educations. That’s abuse.

Boyfriend [25m] keeps being contacted by his mother’s landlord/friend [35F] at odd hours of the nights.quote:My boyfriend and I have been in a relationship for a year and a half now. We have great communication, and I have no doubts about his fidelity and commitment to our relationship. We went on vacation to Vegas, and his spending habits while there really raised a red flag to me. He gambled a lot, I am not a gambler at all. I’m a “single mom” who works really hard and goes to college so I can’t splurge. I mentioned to him this was a concern and that I wasn’t happy with this situation since we have been saving to buy a house and move in together before the fall next year. He didn’t see an issue since we were on vacation and didn’t understand where I was coming from. This led me to take a step back and we went on a “break” for two weeks per my request. This is relevant because his mother mentioned to her landlord(35 yo female) that we were on a break. How badly does the boyfriend's mom hate the girlfriend that she is pushing a serial killer on her son?

Takeaways: 1) The boyfriend is the one saving up for the house, not the single mom going to college, if this wasn't already incredibly clear. 2) The girlfriend takes an ultra-manipulative relationship "break" when she realizes that the boyfriend is spending some of his own money gambling (while on a vacation in Vegas - the horror of it all) despite having no intention of breaking up, like she's punishing her pet dog for pooping on the rug. 3) The girlfriend has earmarked all of boyfriend's spare income after expenses as "house money" so she flips a poo poo every time he drops some cash. In essence, she regards it as her money, not his. 4) The boyfriend's mom is down with the landlady trying to break up the relationship. Not a great look on her part, but desperate times call for desperate measures I guess. Girlfriend seems like a sociopath. Taima fucked around with this message at 20:35 on May 28, 2018 |

Generally speaking, who the gently caress wants to bang a coworker? It's pretty much a guarantee, unless they're a huge idiot who doesn't understand office politics, that they're not the person they appear to be based on professional interactions.

I dunno, I think he should just come clean and tell her how he feels. It's PROBABLY not going to fix anything but he's living in hell if he says nothing. Edit: He should have come clean on the night he DIDN'T gently caress the coworker. "I thought I wanted this, but I just want you." Either she appreciates it or she really wants to bone her coworker and doesn't appreciate it.

Dienes posted:I [28 M] suggested an open relationship, my girlfriend [26 F] of 2 years is really into the idea and I'm not. Remember, monogamy is an unnatural institution forced on people completely against their wills, and if you don’t want your partner loving literally everything that moves all the time, it’s a sign that you’re a weak-minded square who has been brainwashed by your despicable culture. As such, this guy needs to suck it up and learn to enjoy having a girlfriend who fucks other men. Alternatively, if he’s a moral coward who can’t get control of his emotions, he can just sever. “I wanted to gently caress someone else, so I suggested an open relationship, but it turns out that means we both get to gently caress other people, and now I don’t like it,” is pretty much neck-and-neck with “premature sports celebration” as my favorite form of schadenfreude.

My [23f] boyfriend [23m] thinks he is talented but he is not. this sounds awful, i know. we have been dating for a year and a half and i love him so much, we are best friends and get on great. i've always known that he was into writing music but he never got round to singing or performing to me, which i assumed was out of shyness. last night, me, him, and about four of our friends went to a bar to drink. there was an open mic and a guy was singing with an acoustic guitar. we were sitting drinking and he started laughing at him - the guy was very off key so we all quietly giggled for like 2 seconds but obviously made sure the singer didn't see us because that's rude. but he loudly laughed at him and didn't applaud when he finished. i thought this was extremely out of character as he is usually very polite and kind to everyone.we were about two rounds in at this point, so i thought maybe he was just a bit tipsy (?). then they asked if anyone wanted to sing, and he enthusiastically volunteered. the previous guy (poor kid) politely offered his guitar if my boyfriend wanted it, to which he laughed in a really patronising way and declined. what happened next is gonna be hard to type out because i'm still cringing. he proceeded to (acapella) sort of chant/moan and sing a song that weaved a tale of him doing ayahuasca and cutting his hair, then digging up a grave and setting up a tent. there was a brief interval where he went "yesyesyes, oooooh". it was like a comedy skit, and i honestly thought he was joking until i heard the ayahuasca part and remembered he'd showed me a poem with that line in it. i don't know how you can be out of tune when it's acapella, but he managed it. he was out of tune with himself. with the air. when he was done, after like five whole minutes, there was applause (two guys in the bar looked like they were in tears from laughing) and my boyfriend sat back down and said "yeah, that's how it's done." and smiled. since then, he asked me if i enjoyed the performance. i said yeah, but it was so different from what i expected. he smiled and said "yeah, it's the only thing i'm good at". i'm honestly so confused. this seems so out of character, i see him kind of in a different light now? but he's perfect in every other way. but he was so cocky and almost delusional. i feel like if i tell him he was bad he'd just say that i didn't understand his vision or something. what should i do? i think he's planning on doing it again at some point soon and i honestly don't think i could handle that. i don't want him to feel bad but i also don't want to lie to him. tl;dr boyfriend performed at open mic and was awful but he genuinely thinks it was great, don't know how to tell him i didn't like it

Dienes posted:I [28 M] suggested an open relationship, my girlfriend [26 F] of 2 years is really into the idea and I'm not. One better approach to open relationships as a man in a male/female relationship may be to establish strict boundries during exploratory discussions. For instance, that it only applies to individuals of one gender whom both parters feel attraction, desire, or willingness for exploration towards. Another good boundry may be that the exploration only move forward when both partners mutually agree on a collaboratively developed plan of action. Of course, even with an initial acceptance and respect for these boundries, an open relationship can still go to poo poo if one partner crosses established boundries. NYPost posted:“[Natalya] was like, ‘Wait a minute. I thought this was only OK when it’s the three of us,’” says Sexton. “And he was like, ‘Oh, she wouldn’t mind.’ That’s when Natalya basically went to the wife and said, ‘Look. I don’t like this guy, I don’t think he’s got good intentions, and you deserve better. I could treat you better.’ Sure enough, the two of them took the kids and left.”
