My 17-year-old was cursing and screaming, which I can't stand, so I screamed louder and cursed more to make her shut up

...and then I crashed my car and got arrested. Did I do anything wrong?

As an aside, I was talking with a friend who writes fanfiction, and apparently there's an entire subgenre dedicated to characters getting married and then aging such that the husband isn't quite so demanding and entitled about the wife's sexual availability and that just struck me as the saddest thing I'd ever heard

What a fantasy, can't wait to dig into some dampened libido fiction about Squidward

what the gently caress, what is the cutesy fandom term for this

Sure, but if you use that to conclude "gay people shouldn't date bi people, and most bi people are lying" then you are biphobic. Like, by definition. (I'm also bi fwiw)

I obv don't hate the guy at all, but it's appropriate to acknowledge that he's said and done stuff that's less than stellar. But agreed my main issue with him is

I'm not sure he's said that to be honest. The worst I've heard is that when bi people write and say gay people won't date them, he seems to think that's BS but also says maybe date other bi people. I dunno I just don't buy the bi phobic thing. He's said some straight up lovely things but nah to that one in my opinion.

Also (and I'm too lazy to put a second quote here I know pick said this not you) he's super into calling cheaters assholes if they made a monogomous commitment, he's just thinks it's dumb to make those commitments if you can't keep them. Cheating piece of poo poo is one of his most used terms haha.

He has some soundbites/quotes that sound terrible when taken out of context, but overall he seems okay.

man if you thought "writing 500,000-word epics about a magic teenager who happens to look just like me having a bunch of terrifying physically-impossible sex with Harry Potter" was an unhealthy way to process a shift to a new stage of life, wait until you hear about "writing 500,000-word epics about how Harry Potter isn't as into horrifying fetish sex with my self-insert anymore now that the kids are around and he's tired from his long day of being a magic cop but it's ok, everyone tell me it's ok"

He's definitely said stuff worse than that in the past, but he's gotten better or at least better about not putting that poo poo in his column anymore afaik. The column's been around since 1991, that's a ton of cultural change.

Me [32F] with my husband [33F] Husband accused of having profile on dating site, says profile is a fake, how do we handle this?

No honey, an evil Chinese man who I cannot be sure I will ever see again took pictures of me in water polo gear and photoshopped them. I wasn�t trying to (badly) seduce your friend with underwear pics. They were water polo pics. I got hackedby the Chinese! Like crooked Hillary!

Comment from OP:

quote:

I have seen the photos, she emailed me them last night, and they're not selfies; I saw a tan-skinned finger across one of them. So they don't look as if he took them. I recognize the changing room/locker room; obviously I haven't been in there as it's a men's one, but it's our local pool. There's even guys in the background there, FFS!

Also, she's sent me across a cut-and-paste of the messages, and one of them had links to an email address with a "Wong" in them (a gmail and yahoo.cn account), and another had this appended to the end of it:

来和我一起吃饭，美丽的小姐！

Sorry if it doesn't display well... you will need to fix your browser for that.

My husband doesn't speak a word of Chinese... a bit of French, but that's about it for foreign languages.

My friend had said the messages didn't seem like his style or tone, and there was a lot of Chinese letters in them, also the profile asked her about whether she'd be into wearing bondage gear - something my husband's never mentioned, or showed interest in.

Also, someone asked do we live in a small town, yes, not a village, but a small town where you're likely to see at least someone you know.

I think I can probably safely say he isn't lying, having read the messages last night.

My husband didn't want to start a fight or complain to the pool about it because he's the sort of person who doesn't like to make a fuss or get into bitter drawn-out disputes.

Either way, I've shown him everything, and he's said that it's not him, and I've seen no reason not to disagree. As for this point:

"It's the little details he's told her... the woman was wearing a bright red bikini. Sounds very specific. It's an irrelevant part of the story, and something someone probably wouldn't mention if it were a story they weren't fabricating."

Well, seeing a PDA in a sauna, of all places that's turning everyone off isn't something you can make up is it?

Finally, as for does my husband know my friend - YES! - but he's got enough decency to not "get it on" with her.

If we report it to the website, is there even any guarantee they'll take it down - as of Tuesday, it's still there, according to my friend.

Thanks for your advice so far.

I have no idea what to think now.

Honestly, the story the husband told makes a lot more sense than him forgetting what one of her friend's looks like and having a sauna buddy take his tinder pictures for him.

He's way too big a fan of telling people to open their relationship and his advice is just in general pretty poo poo. I haven't read his article in a long time but I remember when all my friends were big into him it was so often "let me answer that by getting on my soapbox and then telling you to open up your relationship to a BDSM dungeon because why have one relationship that is 90% fulfilling when you could have ten relationships that are 12% fulfilling!"

the most depressing possible way for erotic-fanfic aficionados to "grow up"

And I thought it was weird when an increasing genre of drawn pornography (rarely live action) is loving couples in a stable sexually active relationship. Also sometimes one of them is a monster or they're furries or whatever.

Porn's always been about the fantasy, frequently the unattainable.

This whole thing is complete bullshit written by someone who doesn't understand that the people who check IDs at the base gates aren't police officers and their job isn't enforcing the law as it applies to people who aren't in the military and don't work on base.
