Well alright...

Hey switchhack, what do I say if I’ve had exactly ten partners?

I mean it’s not science I’m just saying empirically 10 is a reasonable threshold of whether you think this is a little or a lot, you probably want to gently caress someone who agrees.

Asking/telling your actual number is usually a very bad idea.

I [24/M] discovered a stack of love letters to imprisoned murderers, belonging to my girlfriend [31/F] that I moved overseas to be with - along with a knife and positive pregnancy test.

So, I'll try keep this as short as possible. I still feel sick in the stomach. Throwaway because I know she monitors my reddit account.

So I knew Stacey (not real name) for 2 years prior to me moving overseas to be with her. We met online, became friends, and then some 2 years later, just kind of fell in love. It was deep. So much so, that I decided to move overseas to be together with her. Life is an adventure after all.

Anyway, things had been going well initially, though began to get a little challenging due to her night shift work. It can be hard going to bed by yourself every night when you're in a foreign country, not knowing anyone else but your partner.

I began to get a bit homesick too, which actually made her angry and upset. I was missing out on big events happening back 'home', but I knew the sacrifices were worth it. However, during these bouts of homesickness, I ended up having to console Stacey - rather than the other way round! Despite me being the one needing the emotional support, I was made to feel like my homesick feelings were wrong or not allowed. Maybe that was a red flag.

When in the kitchen one night, I discovered a stack of papers in one of the cupboards. A big bunch of what appeared to be handwritten letters - not the ones I had sent her. It became clear, these were from prisoners doing serious time in US prisons. A quick google of some, brought up that they were double murderers, killers etc. They were very romantic and talked about trying to "get out" and "start a life together". I couldn't find any dates on them. I felt sick. I literally began throwing up. She was at work at the time. I didn't know what to do. Stacey was starting to appear like someone I didn't even know. I now began fearing for my safety.

Days later, when looking for a lost bus card down the sides of a couch. I discovered a knife. Not like a kitchen knife, but a proper weapon knife. What the hell?! Why would that even be there? This hasn't done anything to make me feel safer!

After those 2 discoveries, I've began to feel myself turning into the type of snoopy person I despise. But I just feel like I have zero trust for Stacey now, and like I don't even know this person who I moved across the planet to be with. I feel so alone, with no support network here. No friends or family. The closest person in my circle of friends or family is over 16,000km away.

During Stacey's night shifts, I couldn't help but start to snoop around the apartment we shared. I justified it to myself that my own safety was potentially at stake. Then I found a positive pregnancy test. Cue up that whole feeling sick in the stomach feeling again. It seemed old though, which in a way, was of slight relief. Why would she keep this in her drawer?

I really don't feel like I know her anymore, and combined with the homesickness, increasing emotional absence from her, I'm starting to admit I maybe hosed up with this whole decision. I feel like I can't return home though. The stress of this is destroying my health, I'm constantly sick. I haven't brought it up to Stacey yet because my anxiety is through the roof.

I had going away parties, left a good job - everyone was happy for me that I was moving overseas to be with my girlfriend. I would feel so stupid moving back after just 2-3 months. What should I do? I'm finding it hard to accept that something I wanted so much, is clearly not working out. Whenever I bring up an issue with her, she becomes very aggressive and it never gets resolved.

TL;DR Moved 16,000km away to be with my girlfriend who I met online. Discovered love letters to murderers, a knife, positive pregnancy test. What to do?

Thanks in advance for any help - don't know where else to go, as my family back home already have their own issues to be dealing with.

This post features polygraphs, pre nups, and advanced math

I [31F] agreed to a prenup with my [34M] fiancee - no problem. Now I know there's a polygraph involved.


This one is pretty amazing, I would imagine if you had a person willing to do a pre nup that the polygraph would be unnecessary. Was he thinking that this was a good way to ask her about this stuff? It doesn't seem incidental, more like something this dude wanted to try to answer before getting married. It's even funnier that yeah, he guessed right. I think it's dumb that he gives a poo poo but apparently he does and lol. If I had to guess the one incident that he was 'hurt about for weeks' lol is what started the polygraph poo poo.

Depending how wealthy Barry's family is, and what future they intend for him, I don't think its unreasonable to wonder a potential match's full sexual history. If Barry's future entails a public life, whether it be CEO of a Fortune 50 corporation or higher elected office, questions about sexual history could serve as a risk mitigation strategy. If a partner sluts it up when young, there is the potential for blackmail or damaging media to exist. Let he who would not watch Ivanka Trump taking it up the rear end on pornhub have their attorney ask the first question, and all that jazz.

Alternatively the way to win this as the chick would be to only ask the questions they do in the wedding ceremony. Or you only ask one question, and you make it imply that 'all I care about is a life with you' so that they're the bad person when they ask you about the 37 dicks you sucked in Spain during your gap year.

Boyfriend [32M] started crying after he accidentally farted during sex and is now avoiding me [31F] a day later

quote:

This whole situation is a mess so let me get right to the point.

My boyfriend of 2 years and I were having sex last night when he accidentally let out an audible fart. We both paused for a second after he did it but I said to keep going and that it wasn’t a big deal. We tried to keep going but then he started turning red and crying saying how he was disgusting for doing that and how disrespectful of him it was to fart. I was reassuring him that it was alright and that everyone does it at point during the day. I also reminded him that he’s farted around me before so I really didn’t care. He continued to cry and kept of repeated what he said before about how disgusting he was for doing that and how I didn’t deserve to hear him fart. I eventually calmed him down after about an hour of him acting this way. I truly didn’t care about the whole thing. I only paused for a brief moment because it was sudden and took me out of the sex for a second but I would never shame him for a bodily function. Now today he’s been avoiding me. I’ve tried to say hello to him and he just kind of mumbles “hi” back. We were both at work today and didn’t want to eat dinner with me when I suggested we could. He’s been pretty silent all day which is different from his usual outgoing self. I’m at a loss on how to move on from this.

TL;DR: bf accidentally farted during sex last night then started crying because of it and is now avoiding me and silent all day

Whoa, looks like Spider-Man discovered Reddit.

Just found out my GF previously hooked up with 2 of my Arch Nemesis

quote:

Here's my situation,

Me(21) and my GF(19) have been dating for a year now.

I have recently discovered that she has had sex with 15 partners since being sexually active at the age of 15.

I am less experienced having only been with 3 people since the age of 18.

2 of the people I found out she had things with are people I absolutely hated and despised even before knowing she hooked up with them.

Am I wrong to feel a little uncomfortable with the much higher number than I and 2 of them being people I strongfully dislike?

I need advice on how I can just get that out of my head and forget about it.

Would you feel any different if you found out your SO hooked up with a couple people you view as complete scum trash, less than a year before you started dating?

Why do I feel so bothered by this and how can I let it go?

I understand that she is with me now and that is all that matters. That she chose me. And I understand that my reaction to this news is in fact irrational.

But I just can't get it out of my drat head.

TL;DR: Recently found out my SO hooked up with people that I truly hated even before knowing she hooked up with them and that she is much much more sexually experienced than me.

Just because I don’t work doesn’t mean I don’t have money! I live with my parents because I just got out of rehab!’

He also apparently lost an accounting job due to drinking, and wrecked two cars driving drunk. And he and his GF did get back together for a bit.

Most likely. From the comments:

I call them trash because one is an rear end in a top hat roid using coke selling xanax addict who trys to scam anyone they can out of money.

The other one has had more than one accusation of him molesting/groping passed out girls at parties and has always been known as a creep.

I can't process how and what led to my gf sleeping with them less than a year ago, months before we started dating

Have I hit rock bottom? No, but I am getting there

The pros of alcohol: + Forget about my problems + Be more social/outgoing partying

The cons of alcohol: - Lost a few good jobs - DUI / Jail time - Rehab - Hospital visit - Ambulance found me drunk/passed out in car - Car wreck / Hit & Run court case upcoming for hitting a street sign and leaving the scene - Anger problems magnified - Emotionless - Girlfriend left me and we have a 6 month old son

Now I am back home at my parents. My GF and parents thought it would be best if I stay here for a while. Detox. I guess it was not a bad idea, I will detox here and study for my CPA & MBA away from everything in this small town. Just hope I can pull through and do things right.

Roll back to about three months before ‘rock bottom’...

Me [32 M] with my GF [32 F] 1.5 years, had baby together. Not sure if we will work out

quote:

She has a 7 year old son that I met for the first time last year. I moved in together. He is a hyper kid, talks a lot. Can be annoying. I don't love him. I don't talk sweet to him like she does. But I am nice to him overall. I can be pretty direct with him when he does not do things right. Maybe one day I will love him, who knows.

I had drinking issues that unfortunately put me in jail, rehab, hospital, fights with GF, yelling at her and her son, flirting with other women, losing jobs, etc. I regret all of this of course.

Drinking issues are gone, I've matured but I still have anger issues with her because she pisses me off at certain things she tells me. But the anger issues are much better than last year.

She thinks I am very cold with her and even more cold with her son.

We had a son 4 months ago and I am very good at taking care of him, and want to be there for him.

I am not crazy in love with my GF but I want to make it work for the sake of our son. And overall she is a good woman, but she has her moments. For example she was upset that I did not have our sons picture on Facebook yet and told me I am ashamed of him, and shallow, etc. Of course this pissed me up which caused me to raise my voice. Keep in mind she does not have a pic of him on her Facebook yet. She tells me things in a calm voice that she should not and I fire back.

She is not sure if we will work out and pretty ready to leave me. I don't know what the right thing to do is. Anybody been in a similar situation?

tl;dr: Had bad history with GF, but I have improved. Still cold/distant toward her and she isn't sure if it's worth holding on. I want to because we have a kid espeically!

And 3 days before that...
Me [32 M] with my GF[32 F] of 1.5 years, thinks im psychotic and won't change

quote:

First of all - Thanks for reading. I can't give a lot of details but I will do my best.

I have had drinking problem and anger issues in the past and it put a strain on our relationship. I have sobered up and doing better, but my anger issues still come up here and there. I know for a fact I have improved a lot from last year, but not 100%. She even told me I am doing much better.

Few days ago I snapped at her and yelled out loud in front of her 6 year old son. I did not curse her out, but did say "WHATS WRONG WITH YOU" because of something she said. It does not matter what she said, the bottom line is I snapped. We are basically living together for the moment because we just had a child. I told her I am sorry I snapped and I don't blame you for wanting to break up but I am improving. Before when I got angry I went out to drink, but now I Just go to AA if I get angry. She thinks I am psychotic and won't change and wants to break up. I told her that is fine and I understand where you are coming from. I don't blame you but I am truly sorry. I know I am improving and it won't happen over night. She tells her son I am psychotic, etc. and I don't like that. I am sure she will tell our baby as he grows up that I am a psycho as well. She bad mouths her sons dad all the time as well so this is why I feel like when we do live separately the same will happen for me. She told me I will just tell him the truth as he grows up, etc. I am not putting up a fight anymore to stay together. I have accepted what she wants. She always talks about wanting to get married soon, but at the same time she is quick to break up. So all this is very confusing to me. We were supposed to go to visit her family during Christmas break and I told her I will not go anymore. How do I handle this? We have a lease together and I figured we will stay together to help out with the baby until she figures out how to move back to where she is from. Am I handling this okay?

tl;dr: Gf thinks I am psychotic because I snap at times due to anger issues and wants to break up We just had a baby together and she also has a small child from a different individual!

Holy moly.

E: in a surprising twist, he only posted once in TIFU
TIFU by drinking

quote:

TIFU. Well more like two nights ago. I was pretty stressed from moving to a new state for a new job where i heard i might be getting fired. So of course i decide to go out drinking at a local bar with some guy who is also new in town. Basically he couldn't hang with me for more than an hour bc i was too intense of a partier according to him. Anyways last thing i know i woke up in my car which was parked in the parking lot, so obviously i decided i was too drunk to drive and passed out with my keys in the ignition but the car was off. Two cops were knocking on my window. I say no to all those field tests and no to breathalyzer. At this point i have officially got my license suspended it seems for a year because i said no. I then started crying like a little bitch and kept saying they are gonna kill meee if i go to jail. I was def going to jail so i was trying my best to make them feel sorry and just let me go. No luck. I get to jail and start being a smartass with every cop there. They gave me some old rear end socks to wear im like uhh yall for real?! And saying stupid poo poo. Anyways i said no I don't need to use my courtesy phone call. Bad decision. Next thing you know im stuck in the jail with two other dudes for two and a half days because even when i did call my parents next day they could not get the call since their phone automatically does not accept blocked calls. And at the jail phone calls shows as blocked when u call out. Also, i could not bail myself out because my money was in my brokerage account and i had to transfer it in order to pay with my debit card. Of course they wouldn't let me do that either. And on top i had to try to call a bonds man but they just gave me a list of bondsman and said u got 15 mins to call one and will don't know who will accept collect calls since u got no money to pay for calls u gotta use collect. So finally third day i get released and they don't make me pay the bail money. Now i can't drink at all, gotta take alcohol drug test randomly. Btw food sucks at the jail, like literally id rather eat dog food. I of course didn't shoe up to work today and i let them know the truth. I really thought i was going to lose my job. But they just said to come in tomorrow. Anyways this was my first offense ever with law so im hoping il get this off my record.

TL;DR passed out in car parking lot and went to jail for not doing a field test or breathalyzer

Halb Wesen und halb Ding
:roboluv:
...aber oho!
I (26f) just took a call from my ex-BF's (27m) mom (60s?) both blaming me for breaking up and begging me to take him back. Do I go utterly nuclear with this with our social circle or do I thank my lucky stars I'm out?

quote:

Background: after a pretty lovely year of a relationship where I didn't see the signs that my ex was an all around lovely human being, a partial list being:



  1. Was a horrible mommas boy who balanced his checkbooks, paid his bills, called his work when he got in trouble, did his taxes, etc...

  2. Blamed his older brother and SIL for all his problems, even though they were genuinely nice people when I met them.

  3. Got drunk and belligerent to the point where cops were called multiple times.

  4. Was genuinely anti-social to where he could not relate to other people and would break down when he wouldn't get his way (for example, he cried on the phone at an ice skating rink when his mom couldn't afford the ice skates he wanted--this was a 26 year old guy at the time).

I was a complete idiot for staying with him but I will say my grandpa died last year and my ex did an amazing job of manipulating my sense of loss and not wanting to further disrupt my life. I completely admit that staying with him as long as I did was a complete mistake and my fault.

So about a week ago I finally ended things and felt amazing after 15 minutes of listening to him sob, cry, beg, promise to change, call me b!tch and whore, I finally got the courage and left. He blew up my phone to the point where I had to block his number. He kept getting burner phones so I finally changed my number and thought I'd heard from him for the last time. The last week or so has been a dream come true and I feel like shackles have been taken off.

So out of the blue (on my new number by the way) I get a call from the town his mom lives in. It didn't clue in that it was her at all but I answered the phone and all I hear is "Jolie, don't hang up, it's Bonnie." My heart sunk and I was literally too stunned to hang up because my mind was racing about how she got my number. She immediately launched into a tirade about how cruel I was to leave him in the lurch after "you've promised him so much" (I did? what did I promise). That I was some sort of extreme sl!t who was out to have sex with every "black guy" in the PNW and then had the gall to tell me I needed to reconsider breaking up with her son. Litterally all I could think to say was "how did you get my number?" She told me that my mom gave it to her. I told her to never call me again and immediately hung up, turned off the phone and drove to T-Mobile to get a new number.

After this was all set up I called my mom and it turns out Bonnie had called her under the pretense that she had several of my grandma's dolls (she didn't) and needed to get in touch with me. I told my mom to please block her number, delete her on facebook and for the love of god, never, ever give either of them any thing about me ever again.

My question starts here: I want to literally tell everyone I know, both in real life and on social media what just happened to me. I want the world to know what trash they really are. All my friends thought so already but there's a big part of me that wants everyone to know that if either of them are getting in touch, it's to be as creepy and as anti-social as a person can possibly be. I want people to know this was a real experience and I'm not the crazy one.

Another side of me thinks that I am well on my way to having them out of my life and that I should keep this to myself, otherwise I might be poking some sort of proverbial hornets nest that will give them the drama they are looking for.

Should I tell my story far and wide or should I keep this to myself?

tl;dr: my ex-BF's mom just called me and called me names, blamed me for the break up and on top of it...begged me to get back with him. A huge part of me wants to blab about this both in real life and on social media. Another part of me says to let this die and not create any additional drama. What should I do?

Stirring up more drama here would be one of those things people think about years later all like "hmmm maybe I didn't take that breakup as well as I possibly could have... oh well gently caress that guy anyway lol"

It'd be better for all involved if she didn't do it but people do poo poo like this all the time because breakups make you crazy so gently caress it why not

I [20M] told my parents [50s] about my sister's [18F] promiscuity and now she is grounded?

quote:

My family is from a South Asian background so the culture is quite strict when it comes to things like dating and sex. My parents were actually born and raised in India so there's no way they would be as forgiving towards pre-marital sex. I live in the UK so legal drinking is at age 18.
The issue that has arose is with my younger sister. She is nearly turning 19 soon and has been about sexually active with several people for about a year. I knew about her activity and I was able to keep it a secret from our parents, because truth be told I think their views on sex and dating are unreasonable. I still felt bad about lying for her but she begged me to keep the secret.
However the real issue began recently, when I learned that my parents are going to pay for all of her university expenses (accommodation rent, giving her a lot more money towards her maintenance loan, etc) because they were under the belief that she had not been drawn in by ''bad influences''. They're already struggling with the business they run as it is, but in spite of that they were going to give a massive helping hand to my sister because they were under the belief that she didn't drink or have sex and were proud of that fact, given that among young people drinking and casual sex is common.
Now I don't agree with my parents views at all of drinking and having casual sex, and I don't see why abstaining from those things should be something to be proud of, but I felt really bad once the money got involved. They were going to pour a lot of money towards her under a false belief. That was really when things had changed, I was helping keep her lies before but now things were changing. My sister didn't seem to care about this at all, that they were going to pump this money towards her under false pretenses.
I eventually decided to just tell my parents. I'm not against my sister doing what she wants but I couldn't just let my parents pump all this money towards her under a false belief. So I told them the truth, even though I couldn't outright prove it they saw that I had no reason to lie.

Since then they have grounded her and now I know that they are going to force her to choose her second choice University instead of her first choice University (her second/insurance choice Uni is only 30 minutes away from where we live, opposed to her first choice which is hours away). I know she wanted her First choice a lot more, as it is much further away and would have given her a lot more freedom. My parents have only agreed to help her out with finances for Uni if she chooses her second choice, and she pretty much has no choice. There's no way she would have the finances/means to go to her first choice unless my parents helped out, so she is 100% going to the second choice. My parents are also going to make sure to visit her every weekend as a result of this and track her purchases on her student account debit card. To boot, a cousin of ours is also going to the Second choice uni and he's agreed to 'keep an eye out' for her (basically meaning if my sister is seen at a club, my parents will know).
My sister is pissed at me and won't talk to me, but I feel like I was in a no-win situation. If I had never agreed to lie for her in the first place, she would have hated me for that anyway. But now my parents are also quite pissed at me too, as they are asking why I didn't tell them in the first place. It's all a big mess really.
What should I have done? Should I have told my parents straight from the beginning a year ago and then had a sister who hated me for not allowing her to 'enjoy' her life? By lying for her she was able to have the sexual experiences she wanted. Or should I have just continued lying on behalf of her? If I did that my parents would have been channeling all this money towards her under the delusion and false belief that she was abstaining from all this. Basically I was in a no-win situation and didn't know what the right thing was.
TLDR - From strict Indian background. Younger sister has been sexually active with several people and drinks alcohol too. I was keeping her lies from our strict parents, but told my parents of it once I found out they were going to pay for all of her university expenses because they under the false belief she had abstained from ''bad influences'' and praised her for that. Now she has to go to 2nd choice University and is pissed at me. I didn't know what to do

All seems like pretty deeply ingrained Indian misogyny to me. Shitstain brother got involved 'because of the money,' either out of jealousy or because he shares the same deep-seated and warped beliefs that the FOB parents have.

A no-win situation if you're a massive dork maybe.
