christ there's a certain type of person that just can't ever let things loving lie the way they are. Oh gee this person isn't accepting my apology TIME TO loving BURN MY LIFE DOWN AND KILL MYSELF

the name for that type of person is "borderline"

i started hating the op for misusing the term "literally" but i really grew to dislike her when she basically is saying she can continually do stupid poo poo and if anyone refuses to coddle her after she freaks out they told her not to do stupid poo poo she melts down even more

it's hard to articulate but the OP is bringing to mind some people from my past, there's a very specific "persona" it evokes and i strongly dislike that persona

Yeah, he jumped into the deep end without even trying to learn how to swim.

A better idea would be to cook a dinner with his GF. My local supermarkets are now selling meal kits to push back against Blue Apron. Go with the GF to pick one out, help make the meal, propose at end of dinner but before cleaning up, then clean up while she calls all her friends.

No kidding. The only thing even slightly offputting is the stopping to pick up roadkill, and that could be solved by a 2 minute "hey can we not pick up random dead raccoons when I'm around?" conversation. Everything else sounds rad af.

I read the part with the screwdriver and the hinges being in his drawer, which is definitely the most damning part of it, but

I don't understand why she just assumed out of nowhere that he had a camera set up, or why, even if he did, he'd come in three hours later, over lunch, after it went off, instead of leaving right after the power went out

And again, this means that he not only had a camera with an external power source, it also had an external internet connection, since presumably turning off the power would shut off the modern

You sound like a dense city boy. Out in the country, ya got more land than people and even less wifi. Sometimes that land has valuable poo poo on it, poo poo you wanna keep an eye on.

That's why ya got trailcams. When they detect motion, they take a photo and send it to your phone via cellular network. Some trailcams even offer data plans so that you can watch live video feeds/have the cam take a 30 second video and transmit.

Batteries last a helluva long time on 'em, and they're completely disconnected from the grid.

There may be a little more drama, but that's because it's an actual thing people do. "Quidditch" is just sad.

I have, I had an ex that played. I was joking, I know it's an actual demanding sport, although they kept implementing rule changes to make it increasingly less fun to watch. The drama though. My lord, the drama.

OPs comments:

quote:

Maybe I've been thinking about this wrong this whole time... I really do love her, I've never met a girl like her or who's got so many ideas and interests as her. Is there any way I can make myself "stronger" to stop being so grossed out by dead things?

quote:

I dunno man, it's just... she barely mentioned any of it and when I went over to her house (which was nearly a two hour drive away because she lives in rural country area) it's just kinda a shock to someone who lives in the suburbs to see all this stuff. I thought for sure half of her plants would be illegal, but apparently they're not, and the dead things just kinda... make me really nervous. Like if you went to someone's house, and found out they were skinning corpses and fleshing them and then leaving the remains to rot so you could harvest the bones, I just don't feel comfortable with that and I doubt most people would be.

quote:

When you phrase it like that I feel really stupid now. I guess it was mostly a shock cause I've never seen such a huge bed in my entire life. She said it was some specific kind of King sized bed(?) and I've never seen anyone especially in the South have such a fluffed up bed before.

quote:

She IS really cool. One of the coolest girlfriends I've ever had, but I think she might be too far on the cool scale for me if it starts tipping into butchering animal carcasses.

No offense but I would probably get sick if I had to skin an animal. It's just something I find disgusting.

quote:

I don't want someone like that, but the whole poisonous plants and cleaning rotting corpses thing is weird to me! Is that really something desirable in a partner? God I don't even know anymore.

quote:

After I told my friends about her poisonous plant collection they were all freaking out because they're worried about what could happen if a kid or a dog got into her plants? Or what if someone stole some of it and tried to poison someone with one of them?

And the dead things is scary, man. I don't like the hollow eyes or the creepy smiles of skulls and it's not pleasant to see a bunch of bones when you walk into someone's house.

this is the squarest most tremulous motherfucker I have ever encountered. I bet he says "golly!" when something shocks him

Fat camp kid update...

I [15 M] didn't stay at a fat camp and my parents [39 F 43 M] haven't spoken to me since I got back

quote:

I am 15 and very fat but I am good with it. My parents wanted to send me to a fat camp for the summer and they did but i didn't want to join them with activitys so the camp sent me home so I could be a home for the summer. i have been at home for a few weeks since I got back in June and my parents have been very overly sad at me to the point that its making me depressed.

they are almost completely ignoring me. they do not talk to me unless i speak first. they haven't started one conversation with me since i got home we only speak if I start it of and even then it will be basically as short of a conversation as possible. they were very obsessed with the idea of me losing weight despite me always being big and i knew theyd be upset when i didn't want to do it but the way they are acting is ridiculous and has gone on for way too long.

a few days ago was my birthday. i woke up to a book from my favorite author I really love and a card on my door which was the perfect gift for me and which i was happy with but they just left the house all day to go out together. i called them up myself in the afternoon and they basically said a very fake happy sounding happy birthday and said they had to go since they were driving. they got back late at night and didn't do anything else, not even coming to me to say happy birthday in person until I came to them. i don't care about presents or cake or anything but my mom is usually very excited about celebating other peoples birthdays and she just completely ignored it. i just hung out with friends the whole day and saw a movie but it was really depressing since they basically went away from me. we always go for pizza or eat a nice meal at home on birthdays and we didnt even have dinner together.

They specifically leave the house often and try to get away from me all the time. When I talk to them they are never available to talk and they were always very available and i get the feeling that they don't want to be around me at all because i didn't want to lose weight. yesterday my mom asked me dad for help in the garden pulling weeds with her and i heard and i offered to help so i had a excuse to talk and she said nevermind and went to her room. they stopped eating family dinners together. we used to do it every night and they just stopped, foods on the table and they eat by themselves.

there being very passive aggressive over this and its been like this for three weeks and isn't getting any better. I understand we disagree on something but this makes me feel terrible and i think like they are acting miserable around me just to hurt me. its not them because i can hear them getting along when im not around, it's them against me. I just want them to stop, if they want to be angry thats fine but they dont need to completely ignore me.

TL;DR: My mom and stepdad stopped basically talking to me completely since i got home and didn't finish fat camp. they kinda ignored my birthday and we havent spent anytime together. i'm very bummed out.
