I don't like Republicans and my personal political beliefs do not lean at all towards the right but maybe "actually my political beliefs are objectively correct and good and my opponents are objectively bad" is a take that should be evaluated more

"rape and sexual assault are bad" shouldn't be a controversial opinion but the OP's boyfriend was lovely enough to apparently disagree with that, I think we can all agree on kicking him to the curb and maybe mocking his comically tiny penis and balls

My(28F) boyfriend(30M) is always in a good mood and never has a bad day. He has no sympathy for people at the same time. How do I talk with him?

So my boyfriend Jason and I have been together for a little over a year. It’s been pretty great for the times we’ve been together. The only problem is he just has like no sympathy for anyone.

So what I mean by this is I have a rough job. It’s super stressful and comically underpaid. I like to vent about my day to blow off some steam every now and then. Well he’s always just dismissed me every time I do. He says things like “ you made a conscious decision to have this job. Complaining to me about it does nothing to change it. If you hate it that much switch careers otherwise stop complaining.”

Now Jason’s the kind of person who never has a bad day like ever. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him complain about anything. He’s always happy go lucky and it’s so loving frustrating. Like how is anyone that happy all the time?! I’ve tried to talk with him about it not being normal and people can have bad days. He just shrugged me off and said it’s all perspective.

So like when I have a rough day he’s less than interested. Its like he just can’t feel bad for anybody. Some other background info is Jason doesn’t have to work. His parents are quite well off. Not like oh we have a nice place and work good jobs, but we have gently caress you amounts of money. So if his job gets to be too much he just quits and does whatever he wants.

It honestly feels like we live in completely different worlds some days. He has to worry about nothing and always has a super easy job along with having no sympathy for people who don’t change their situation. Meanwhile I’m stressed from my job and money.

How do I get this through to him his life isn’t the norm?

TLDR: bf has no sympathy nor worries about anything while I get super stressed out about everything.

My (33F) boyfriend (33M) has constant spiritual conversations with his new intern (21F) at work and don't know if I should be concerned?

Hi, all thank you for reading. I need advice on my situation with my boyfriend, whom I've been dating for the past 5 years, and we also raise a child together who is 3 years old. He is a very spiritual guy, and is into things like numerology, divination, astrology, etc. and is constantly on a spiritual path (as he says).

Anyways, he works at a major corporation and just hired a new intern a few weeks ago. He told me recently that he discovered that she was also into astrology and is on a spiritual journey of her own, and they always talk about this via Skype at work. He has told me about this, but I feel as if this is inappropriate and a little too personal, especially since she's a 21 year old college student and my boyfriend is 33 years old. They talk about really deep stuff, such as philosophy and religion during work that I feel like only people who are close with each other should talk about, and he even agreed to do a tarot card reading for her and is now her main supervisor at her internship program (she was on a team with 3 guys).

I've seen her at the office one time and she's a very beautiful and attractive young girl. I'm worried that he's possibly going down a path that's not good news-- what if he's subconsciously attracted to her which is why he is always having lengthy conversations about numerology and is reading her birth chart and everything? Do you guys think this is innaproprirate or possibly innocent? He has mentioned a couple times that he thinks she might be interested in him or is attracted to him, yet he still keeps talking to her at work yet claims it's just for her spiritual enlightenment. He told me this is the true reason why she was hired on the team and was happy to discover that. IF I could get an outsider's perspective that would be amazing, thank you.

tl;dr: My (F33) boyfriend (M33) is very friendly with an intern at work and talks about very personal spiritual stuff with her (21F)-- I don't know if this is inappropriate and whether I should be concerned?

Idk what flair this falls under- Roofing company got the wrong address, and completely removed all of the shingling from my roof. They agreed to replacing it, but they don’t want it to be 100% free. Is legal action recommended here?

The twist is that this roofing company is the only company in the area, so if I do go the legal route, I’m likely going to be told that I’m not welcomed with doing business with them anymore.

Iirc, the deal they proposed was that I’m only paying to compensate for the cost of labor, and I told them no. What should I do?

I (22M) always warned my girlfriend (21F) that getting naked on the internet would bite her in the rear end

quote:

We had been dating for about a year at that point and as soon as she (21F) turned 18 she told me (22M) she'd like to fool around on the internet and take advantage of being an adult, yet a young and attractive woman. I said if she wants to do stuff like that, then completely random strangers on the internet wouldn't be the best choice as you never know what they're up to, but ultimately it's her body and thus her choice.

So she procceeded to get naked on several websites and surely two of the guys on chatroulette recorded her and uploaded the videos, including her face, on porn websites.

3 Years down the road the videos have each over 100k views and she complains to me about it every once in a while. But what am I supposed to say other than "I told you" -_-

tl;dr: Girlfriend decided to get naked online against my advice and now is unhappy with her past decisions.

quote:

I don't know how well you guys are going to take me here. But I like my gf a lot, she comes from a different background (US) And I'm from (EU) she's Asian too.

It all comes down to that she can't stop mentioning or comparing me to other white guys. She told me once that she was happy I wasn't like other white guys and told me she used to be afraid of them.

I thought it was weird but paid no attention to it. But now she complains about me being less open minded towards other people. She's very keen on diversity I guess and when she tries to make me watch stuff about LGBT people or trans, I just say I'm not interested in it and would like to move onto another topic.

I don't really understand this at all. Maybe it's just cultural difference. She refers to me as a white cis male and is now annoyed that she has to explain everything and my privilege of being a white cis male.

I don't even know what cis means, I thought it was just something from star wars, those droids were called like that so I first thought she was talking about star wars.

I'm generally confused why I should like this when I just want to move on to things that interest me instead but then she's all angry at me?

I really really like her but why what is even going on

[TL;DR] my gf is mad that I'm not open minded like her, she's mad that I'm not into things I don't enjoy

I desperately want this guy to be on the level with the Star Wars thing, even though I don’t at all know what the hell he’s talking about.

Sorry to drag this back from two pages ago but here's the thing: hating black people or gays etc. isn't an "opinion" like loving the taste of cake or whatever. It's part of an entire discourse of thought and practice. Centrism these days is more about being smarmy an appearing as thoughtful rather than doing actual thinking. Especially in the US, the political centre is composed of a bunch of numbnuts who seem to think it's okay if one guy is a fascist, dominionist fuckface with a shrine to Hitler and the intellectual capacities of a 5 year old because the other guy happens to believe women are people. It's a self-satisfied form of performance to ignore actual issues at hand.
