Sure, here's some content:

Me [24 M] with my girlfriend [24F] of 6 years ate actual chicken, shes a vegetarian...Do i tell her? (longish?)

quote:

About the family:

Me and my girlfriend (lets call her sarah) are both students and live in student housing, we went to visit her family at her mums house who consists of her mum (61), brother (32) and sister (40).

Sarah's brother is an alcoholic who constantly dumps his son (3) on her mum when he is over for visitation. Her sister is a poo poo stiring helpless individual which hates random things and is even willing to abuse her mother to keep her own needs in check. Sarah's mother is kind, caring and hard working, but is unfortunatly going to work herself into an early grave as the stress from her 2 useless kids at home (who she loves to much to kick out) and her demanding job is starting to get to her, she also hoovers, washes and cooks every night and refuses to let anyone else do it. This is partially why Sarah moved out, she hated her home life.

This does come into my theory that her mum is so overworked she wasn't thinking straight.

The issue:

Me, Sarah, brother and her mother (sister refuses to even talk to me so avoids being in the same room) sat down for some tea tonight, it was supposed to be vegetarian chicken nuggets, which we are all fine with eating.

Although part way through i realized that they tasted not to vegetarian and a bit real, everyone else had already finished as i was talking to my mum on the phone... I saw the bag her mother used and when everyone was occupied with their own things i went into the kitchen to check the bag, turns out it was real chicken she had used and not the other packet, which was still sealed and vegetarian, I also checked the bin in case of a leftover empty pack being thrown away, but there was not, and the nuggets looked the same anyway.

Only i know this, but i don't want to stress her poor mother out by telling her that she fed her daughter meat. And i don't want to stress them both out by telling Sarah that she ate meat and her freaking out on her mum (which im sure she would do).

I am really unsure on how to do this, i feel like i should tell Sarah, but i also can't see anything positive about telling her.

Should i tell her?

OR

should this be something i keep from her?

EDIT- Also it has been a few hours, and i know the digestive process takes a long time but she was still feeling normal before going to sleep.

EDIT 2- HER MUM WOULD AND DID NOT DO THIS ON PURPOSE.

tl;dr: Girlfriend was fed real chicken (im 100% sure it was real chicken), no one knows but me, how do i go about this?

(edit 2 is the linchpin here)

We need content stat before we drown in a vegetable bloodbath.

We need a new bad person to unite us before vegetarianism divides us.

Found a post about a girl who found out her guy was watching abuse porn and liked rough sex but he was very careful but she was a little weirded out. The comments talked her down about the difference between fantasy and reality. One commenter by the name Stupidshitasalways decided to share this for some reason:

quote:

I am 30/F and I really enjoy severe torture and abuse. Not porn (I don't like porn but do watch hentai that involves abuse/torture/rape) but reading about true stories of it and watching documentaries on it. It turns me on because I just like the idea of having power over someone like that and them being scared of me. I like the idea in the movie "Hostel" of buying someone and brutally torturing and killing them. I've been turned on by this since I was a teen. I would get aroused watching documentaries detailing what sadistic serial killers did to their victims. I think it's just the whole having control and power over someone and knowing they fear you is what turns me on about it. Not much else does it for me.

One time when I was on a family vacation as a kid my mom told me I could not leave the table until I ate my zucchini. She got frustrated and left me there. My grandmother came over and told me an amazingly funny story about me sitting there all night and all kinds of crazy things happening while I sat there that ended with me eating the zucchini for breakfast. Then she told me I could have ice cream with my cousins if I ate the zucchini. I ate the zucchini.

Yeah when I was a kid my parents just did the withhold-dessert-until-vegetable-quota-is-reached trick and it worked like a charm on me because I wasn't smart enough to play the long game like Ligament's friend

My wife is adamant that most people just cook vegetables wrong (example: steaming them, ever) and early in our relationship successfully got me to enjoy brussels sprouts for the first time ever; hopefully one day her magic touch works on our kids too

Hello Ketene: Dec 30, 2011

[UPDATE] Fiance wanted an open marriage, so I called off the wedding. People are asking questions. Should I let them know why?

quote:

My previous post can be found here.

I would like to thank u/Gavroche15 for his concise prediction of what had happened these past two weeks. You can read his thesis here.

Jokes aside, it has been an interesting two weeks since my initial post.

Monday last week I talked with a lawyer at work about the situation with the therapist. He looked at me like I was bullshitting him, and asked me if this was a prank. So I asked him if he wants to hear the recording. "drat right!" was his answer. I talked again with him the next day, at the end of it.

He noted a few things I didn't pay attention to. On the recording, the therapist was always saying "we think", "we want", "we talked about", "we decided". Not once did she say "Your Ex here asked me to talk with you" or "Your ex wants you to know", or anything like that. It was always "we this", "we that".

He also asked me what my endgame is. Do I want to sue? He didn't think I personally have a case, to which I agreed. I never intended to sue anyway, but notify the appropriate institutions and let them deal with the therapist.

A decision was made to write two letters. One addressed to the clinic the therapist works at, and one for APA (we checked, she was accredited). By Wednesday there were a few more people at work aware of the situation, including one of the two case researchers. She dug up information about the therapist, online reviews, as well as the contacts for two of her previous patients. The therapist didn't have the best reviews, there were people upset with her, and we managed to track the two we talked with through social media. They were more than happy to help once we explained the situation, and their stories were not any better than mine.

The letters grew a consistent size, as we included the signed stories from the other two individuals, as well as my own description of how my ex changed once she started the therapy sessions, and a detailed description of how my meeting with the therapist went.

Friday last week I met with the parents. Her parents came to my parent's house, and we had the talk. My ex was there too, and more info was disclosed. That made its way to the report on the therapist as well.

This week, we sent the reports out. There was a reaction from the clinic. They called our office on Thursday morning, most probably to check if it is a prank or a real issue. We talked with their lawyer (or one of their lawyers) over the phone, and, when we confirmed it was legitimate, someone else was heard in the background, on their end, with a "Well, crap!" They said they are taking this very seriously. A conclusion from one of the guys at work was that they probably received other complaints before, but this is the first time someone did it so well documented. Their letter also mentioned we are reporting this to APA, that might have turned the heat on as well, hence their quick reaction.

I don't know what the result of this will be, and I consider my issue with it closed. However, having talked with the other two individuals that were "treated" by this therapist, I sincerely hope she is at least investigated, because she sounds insane and with an agenda (she ruined their relationships as well). One of the individuals was a woman, for the record.

Then, my ex and her parents.

Friday last week my parents called me and asked me to give them a visit after work. When I did, surprise! My ex and her parents were there too. My first reaction, seeing their cars in my parent's driveway, was to flee. This meeting was supposed to be on my terms, but she attempted to take the reigns to it. That was not going to happen, let me tell you.

My ex was waiting for me outside. She looked VERY good. If there was ever a girl you'd like your parents to meet, she was the image of it.

She told me "they" are here to talk with me, and see if we can fix this. "They" as in her parents. She either never told them what happened, or she gave them a version of a story they were not buying.

She had a journal with her. She told me she started writing in it before she began therapy, and continued writing in it until that Friday morning. That I should read it and it will clear out all this mess. I told her this is not a book club.

I wanted to go inside and get the circus going, but she asked me if I can give her ten minutes. She wants to talk with me for ten minutes before I talk with her parents. And she kept handing me her journal, and started crying. And then my sister showed up, and then my ex's sister showed up. They were already there, and came out to "check on us". So I took her journal, went inside, said hello, and lead my ex in the back of the garden, to an as isolated portion of my parent's garden as possible (they have a large garden with a lot of trees and benches).

She quit her job. The stress was too much, and she had a breakdown, it escalated, never got better. She is no longer seeing the therapist. She started seeing the therapist for work related matters, but somehow it turned into matters about our relationship, and it stayed focus on the relationship because it was the only thing the therapist seemed interested in. She never told her parents why she is my ex. She is seeing another therapist now.

I just listened.

She turned the discussion from "her" to "us". Told me I would be in control. I will be managing the finances. I will receive access to all her devices. I will be able to track everywhere she goes. Any property we will own will be in my name. She will do anything I want to trust her again. Basically things she said in her messages over the last weeks. She enumerated more things than the ones I mention. I don't know how she thinks that would be a healthy life, for either of us.

I asked her is she cheated. She told me she had the opportunity to cheat, but she had never. I believe her. But it also angered me. What does she mean "she had the opportunity"? If you are in a committed relationship, you don't put yourself in a position where you have this opportunity. You don't want this opportunity. It's like saying "I had the opportunity to kill someone today". Why? What were you doing that there was such an opportunity. Why call it opportunity anyway, it makes it sound like something positive.

That pretty much ended our ten minutes, and told her we should go and talk with our parents.

So we did. I asked our sisters to leave us alone, as it was not any of their concern what was to be discussed. My sister huffed and puffed, but a house made of stone survives hurricanes - and she was not one.

Well, I talked, and explained what happened, how the therapy session went, and my resolve. I didn't mention I had a recording, because I never had to. My ex confirmed everything I said, which surprised me. Her father had teary eyes, and that broke my heart. Her mother asked her if this is how she thinks they raised her, and asked for an explanation.

My ex basically told them the same story. Stress at work. Depression. Breaking down. Therapy. Therapist wanting to talk only about our relationship. That the therapist told her our relationship was the root of all her stress. That the therapist convinced her I want an open relationship. That she might lose me if she doesn't level her sexual experience with me. How my reaction woke her up from her slump. She quit her job, is looking for something less stressful. She will do anything I want to get me back. Started crying.

My ex mentioned the journal again, and said if I read it, it will explain everything, and that she was not on board with the therapist's ideas, but she went along with them because the therapist was a person with authority and experience. Our parents looked at me and I told them someone's private journal is not the type of literature I read, unless they are a dead poet.

Big loving mistake!

My intention was to relate that someone's private journals usually becomes literature if they are a famous writer, or leader, and usually they are published post mortem. Also, I was hoping they get the hint that I don't really want to read her journal, because it would be of no consequence. What was done was done. Everyone looked at me as if I wished death on my ex. You could smell the hostility in the air.

So I said "fine, fine" and "promissed" I will read her journal. You win some, you lose some, and then you use the wrong words and you lose a few more.

My ex is seeing a new therapist. She showed her parents emails confirming her appointments. He's an older dude, with a white beard like Freud. I searched him online, he is married, he attends conferences, he wrote a few books (they are on Amazon, ha!), seems like a solid character.

"Can you kids work this out?"

This was the second thing that angered me that day. As if this is child play, and we should just listen to the adults. We are not old enough to be in control of our own feeling, and we should definitely not be the ones to decide what we consider a betrayal you can't recover from. We are just "kids" and we should just work it out. So I won back some ground on the "dead poets society" remark earlier.

And this is how the day ended.

We've known each other for 9 years, and have been a couple for 5 years. Even if there are legitimate reasons behind her behavior, how do you go back to being the same? This wasn't even a reset. My way of thinking about my ex has been fundamentally changed. She became a stranger I know a lot of things about. Sure, I still find her attractive. VERY attractive, they way she looked last Friday was amazing. No denying that. But it was also calculated, I am not going to lie myself here. Hair done the way I like it, dress that I bought for her, the shoes I like the most, a hint of the perfume I gifted her, etc.

The journal...

...is on my nightstand. I haven't read it, and I probably never will. I did look through it, to see if it indeed is a year old, and it is. The way the pages folded, the ink is clearly older on the first pages, and you can see it progressing through the pages. The pen she used was attached to the journal, and I tested it, looks like the same ink. And the ink level in the pen is consistent with how much I assume the pen has been used for the last year to write the journal. It is not a fake. Everything about it is consistent with a year's worth of wear and tear.

I don't see what good reading it will make me. A tool to play with one's mind? Well, not rally, I don't think a year ago when she started writing it she intended to use it as manipulation. If what she told me is right, her new therapist suggested the idea to share the journal with myself.

As for how I am handling people that are too curious about why the wedding is off? "We had a huge difference of opinion that we could not find a solution to." More or less.

But if her sister finds out why, and this is more than likely, because her sister is very close to their mother, everyone will find out the real reason why.

Our parents want us to meet again next week. They told me to read the journal, and maybe that helps. Maybe we can work on it. Start again, fresh, since we have so much history. She will get treatment, she will get better, she still is the same woman I fell in love with, but she is not well right now. They can tell I still love her, or else I would not be so "theatrical", their words, not mine.

I don't think I will meet them next Friday.

But, drat! She did look amazing!

I would like to thank the community for the support and help. It was enough to help me put together a plan of action regarding the therapist. Thank you to those who provided resources and information about what to do.

What should I do with her journal? Return it? Keep it and read it 90 years from now?

My (31/F) boyfriend (25/M) gave a random girl a sensual lap dance at a bar and I wasn�t there, should I be pissed?

quote:

Hi I just saw a video of my boyfriend giving a sensual lap dance to some random girl in a bar. If you�re in a relationship, would you be OK with this?

Additional details:

This is at a bar he frequents.

Every night the bar does birthday lap dances for whoever�s birthday it is, and it�s for anyone in the bar to do it.

I wasn�t there (we�re in a LDR).

I don�t know the girl.

It�s someone he presumably met through work (so, a random tourist).

He will probably not tell me about it, but we hadn�t talked since this happened (last night).

I found out because of a random Instagram story video. It�s definitive.

TL;DR - I saw a video of my boyfriend giving some random girl a sensual lap dance in a bar. I�m pissed. Is a lap dance with no intention just a lap dance?

I agree, Yoda is way more toxically masculine than Kirk

If you have someone who has never eaten meat and they only try it after five years, would they be completely fine with it or would the digestive system wig out, or just need a bit of getting used to new thing? Is it just the same sort of nutrients and stuff only it is from animals and not plants, or are they somehow fundamentally nutritionally different?

Not wanting to set off arguments again here, genuinely interested.

Also dude with veggie gf who accidentally had chicken should just keep his gob shut. No point upsetting everyone for no good reason.

fake edit: although if everyone followed the last sentence this thread would have no content

jim kirk would hate yoda. like a guy who has tons of friends he has shown over and over again that he would gladly sacrifice himself for would not tolerate yoda�s hideous and toxicly masculine doctrine of self-interest and preservation of the status quo at all costs. Jim, ( and Spock too) explicitly talk about the value of �this simple feeling�: love, in the political sphere, and as a foundation of morality and worldview. Jim basically does in the search for spock what Luke does in Empire: go on a life-threatening fool�s errand to rescue a friend. a correct course of action explicitly disapproved of by Yoda. Jim Kirk is shown throughout TOS reforming episode villans and teaching them compassion, again, something that Yoda literally told Luke not to do. Jim Kirk and Luke Skywalker have the same ethics and worldview : that loyalty to one�s friends is important, that love and compassion are forces for good, and that apathy and indifference are never good solutions to problems ( Jim Kirk literally had a movie in which his story arc was about learning not to be indifferent to the misfortunes of others!) Yoda worldview is the exact opposite : loyalty is irrelevant, love and compassion are evil, and indifference and apathy are the solution to every problem and the foundation of wisdom. this is a point of view that Luke is shown to reject on screen multiple times and is the culmination of his character arc in the three original movies.

also yoda has never been seen boinking alien ladies

it's possible, mainly because of your gut flora. the bacteria living in your stomach and intestine have a lot to do with what you can digest and any confusion on the part of your guts regarding something you ate is usually met with the safe option of "what is this poo poo? out it goes". there's also a psychological component, but usually it's from people raised on garbage diets who can't handle vegetables rather than people who can't handle meat

the little girl vomiting isn't the point of the story though, but rather that this lead to the discovery that grandma was going behind mom and dad's back in a hugely disrespectful way

Leon Einstein: Feb 6, 2012; I must win every thread in GBS. I don't care how much banal semantic quibbling and shitty posts it takes.

Just don't get in LDRs. Humans need physical contact, not webcams.

Also, anybody else think that woman's therapist was trying to bang her?

The more I read this the more I start to kind of dislike the op in that situation. I dunno if it's just his writing, but it all feels so...clinical?

Maybe I'm misreading it, but it also sounds a lot like his ex was manipulated into this by a seriously bad therapist and is genuine in her regret. Not that it makes it fine, just the update makes his ex seem naive and maybe dumb more than some weirdo that wants to be able to sleep around while not permitting her husband to do the same.

She turned the discussion from "her" to "us". Told me I would be in control. I will be managing the finances. I will receive access to all her devices. I will be able to track everywhere she goes. Any property we will own will be in my name. She will do anything I want to trust her again. Basically things she said in her messages over the last weeks. She enumerated more things than the ones I mention. I don't know how she thinks that would be a healthy life, for either of us.

Ah, yeah, that sounds great, definitely wanna marry someone incapable of all that poo poo. Yes. Shovel all the responsibility away. Fan-loving-tastic.
