Total coincidence that we got flooded by interracial cuck porn to stoke white anxiety under Obama and then it switched to normalizing incest under Trump.

Bed bugs are a loving curse. I listen to a management advice podcast and there was one episode about how to diplomatically try to get an employee to submit to having their house deloused on the company's dime because they couldn't find another way to keep the employee from spreading bedbugs at work

IIRC didn't a lot of people defend that person because he was a great student and therefore the OP should have expected he would empty out the freezer?

If this gall let a grad student into her vagina and gave him carte blanche then I don't know what she was expecting.

One of my fellow Waffle House employees was the source of the restaurants roach infestation. She herself was infested with them. You'd see them scurry out of her hair and down into her collar and poo poo. She didn't even notice. I had the distinct displeasure of going into her house one day after driving her home from work because she invited me in for a minute to show me her new sewing machine. The place was literally seething with roaches. The countertops were a seething mass of bugs. The walls. The furniture...everything. In the 5 minutes we were in there about a hundred of them clustered on the front door and had to be waved away before she could open it so I could leave. It was a nightmare. I saw some roach infested dumps when I was a delivery driver but this one was beyond the pale. She wound up getting fired because of it. One fell out of her shirt and into someones food and they kind of had to. Otherwise they probably would've continued to ignore it.

The ideological gap between a Carville-style Democrat and Republicans is not that large. Remember that the Clinton era was before Democrats even had the distinction of being "the party that at least supports some level of human rights for LGBT people." Like, at that point it was mostly just a question of the precise degree to which you wanted lovely right-wing policy.

This makes the bedbug reply look like a post about candy and butterflies, what the gently caress

To contribute: I had a roach crawl on my face once. In a restaurant. Turns out the bus I sat on to get there had an infested seat that I of course had the luck to sit on, and the little monster somehow got onto my face and crawled across my cheek. And my house was CLEAN. Traps down, dried empty sinks at night, bayleaves burned throughout the house the one day I saw some come in from a neighbor's pipe. In an NYC apartment, you WILL see a roach every once in a while because somewhere, someone in the big building is a slob.

Another close encounter of the roachey kind was one night, pitch black in the room, I got up to go piss. I suddenly feel something oddly soft and hard at the same time under my foot, but also cold and vaguely slimy. I jump and turn on the light. A waterbug (aka palmetto bug) had gotten in and my loving bare foot crushed it. I ran out of there screaming and hopping on one foot like I just stepped on a knife, bug parts on my feet, and when the big ones are crushed they let out this white jizz-like substance and ugggggghhhh

Now I live in FL. I will chase snakes, raccoons, and opossums out of my yard. I will handle non-toxic lizards and frogs by hand. I will kill spiders and rescue mice/rats dragged in by my cats without fear. But roaches will send me screaming out of the room.

I had a roach crawl out of a phone and into my ear once when I was about 20. I was using the phone at a customers house. It caused me to become ocd when it comes to my ears and I compulsively scrape and pick in them now with various sharp implements. God forbid if I find something hard in there to pick out because I will not stop until I do and my ear canals are bleeding and scratched. I'll never forget the look of utter horror on my new ENT's face when I told him about this compulsion and that I dug in my ear with toothpicks and darning needles. (both excellent ear picking utensils)

So I'm not a huge fan of roaches either.

I am guessing the robot screwed up and that was the best excuse it could come up with for her death.

Either that or she was a completely selfish jerk. She just gave birth to two kids and her gut reaction is to die because her abusive child killing boyfriend tried to kill her and figures it will be fine to leave her children in the care of a politician and a hermit hobo.

You mentioned red bumps on your thigh, insomnia, memory loss, paranoia and anxiety?

Pull the sheets off your mattress please. Check in the little creases for brown specs or encrusted brown flakes.

These symptoms sounds eerily famaliar to what happened to a friend of mine. We thought he was going crazy. Turns out he was having a severe reaction to long term bedbug bites.

You mentioned that you remember everything that hapoened at his place but as soon as you got home it started up again?

Bedbugs can cause psychological symptoms if the reaction is severe enough.

I would check the lip of the mattress first to see if you have bedbugs.

Wait Seriously? Does it look like dried chocolate or poop chunks along the seam of the mattress?

Yes. That what you see?

Yes. All long the left side of my mattress by the wall.

I had a moth fly all the way into my ear and get stuck one Saturday and the helpful folks at Kaiser informed me that their urgent care clinics only ran M-F and any hospital would be out of network, so I got to enjoy a bug scrabbling around inside my skull for a good day and a half until it finally died and, eventually, was removed by a doctor

If you're making your ears bleed you're doing it all hosed up tho go easy there, ear infections are at least as bad

Every time I pass an award one of my coworkers keeps on their desk I think of the thread title and how it would be a great basis for a comedy.

"You don't get it, Steve! We landed the contract because they think we've got the gayest guy in town, a real star hitter of a homo, on our team! I don't give a flying gently caress if you were straight yesterday, because you're gay now. Now go out there and rub glitter on your rear end or swing around a cock like its a gymnast's pole or whatever the gently caress it is you people do, because the future of the company depends on it."

Steve, in a Don Knotts voice, "But I don't wanna be gay!"

quote:

I decided to address this one final time in person as my company really doesn't have a sexual harassment policy beyond Don't Do That. I met with the Michael Scott-esque boss and with another leader who is in a legal operations role within our organization. I used pointed phrases that were brought up by Legal Advice posters, like "Sex-based harassment."

A r/legaladvice poster had suggested that this seemed like a misguided and inappropriate way of 'helping' me to come out. In the course of our conversation it became clear that this is exactly what was happening, and I in turn made it clear that it wasn't really anyone's business to help me with things outside of my role at work. I also stated this is the last time we would have this conversation without escalating it to the New York State Human Rights/Office of Sexual Harassment. Michael Scott was profusely apologetic and the other witness was horrified this was happening. Later my CEO called to let me know it was appalling, would never happen again, and to ask if I needed a few days off. He also thanked me for bringing the issue up and promised 'change,' whatever that means. I feel like everyone took it seriously, and the best possible outcome (so far) is it didn't turn into a legal issue, though I realize that is not quite as high drama or exciting.

I also contacted the organization who continued to publicly notify people of their awards and received an oddly clipped and rude email in return. I made it clear this is not okay and the way they operate could cause unintentional but irreparable harm.

Thank you to everyone who provided advice and also took the issue seriously. There were times I felt like I was not being able to take a joke, but you guys reassured me that this wasn't okay and also how to fix it. Y'all rock. Thanks.

Original Post: r/https://old.reddit.com/r/relationship_advice/comments/93zpiy/im_34m_and_caught_my_wife_32f_cheating_on_me_on/

It's been a couple of months since my original post. TL;DR: Took my wife to Bali for our 10th wedding anniversary and found her cheating on me with a known scammer on the run from the law.

After receiving a lot of advice and a push from many people here I went and spoke with a divorce attorney to look at my options. As hard as it was to take the initial leap to talk to an attorney, it really helped. I would be completely lost without him and all the supportive people from Reddit.

I wrote my wife an email explaining that her actions were NOT okay and that I would no longer communicate with her and would wait for her to get back to America. She spent the next few days begging me to understand that she needs to 'have fun' and that she hasn't been herself since our miscarriage. I told her that she made a decision that affects us all and that I don't care for any rationalization of her actions. It gets complicated because there was an earthquake that affected the area so I spoke to her a few times during this period, which was a huge mistake.

I also made the mistake early on to communicate with the guy she is cheating on me with. On the advice of my attorney, I stopped messaging with him but he has sent me several messages bribing me to not 'rat' him out and sending generally offensive things.

Sample Message:

https://i.imgur.com/OQTUj6J.png

The guy has a lot of people looking for him, some of which have reached out to me on here for more details about his location. I have tried to ignore that. To make matters worse, my wife is still in Bali and apparently living in this man's home.

I thought I was completely over it all but then she sent me an email begging to come back home but that the man she is currently with also wants to move to the area so they can continue to carry on a relationship. She says she loves multiple people and she needs to see us both. I don't even know what to think about that. Her sister has been a great help to me and says I need to completely cut ties, divorce, and move on from her. Her mom and dad are asking me to give her another chance and that she will come to her senses that it's a ridiculous situation. She's lost her job here so I don't even know how the transition back would go. I feel like I'm in a horrible dream. I'm technically married, but my wife is living in another country and in another relationship. Every day I wake up I am completely lost, confused, and hurt. It also hurts because she acts like she's not responsible for any of this. She keeps saying 'my hands are tied' about how she feels. Like it's not in her control and that she somehow loves multiple people out of nowhere.

I feel like it just keeps getting worse for me. This relationship was the worst decision of my life.
