Didn't really mean to call you out directly I've just noticed it's a thing and can't really wrap my head around why people do it.

I second this. I always want to see the sound advice - especially because sometimes people ITT disagree over even that. (Not often, but I’m sure it’s happened.)

Also I’m really glad magnolia lady won/those rear end in a top hat tenants got what was coming to them. It makes me curious though. Was her great-grandfather chill and good and would be disgusted to learn these people are racist fucks or would he have silently approved? I want to live in a world where it’s the former and I’m going to assume it is if only because he didn’t have any problem leaving her the property.

My (17m) waitress girlfriend (18f) is making me uncomfortable. Am I being reasonable?

My girlfriend is a waitress. She wears a push-up bra and acts mildly flirty with customers to make extra money in tips for us. She said she didn’t really care if customers grabbed her rear end at work. She’d never cheat, she’s loving and understanding. She just doesn’t seem to care or understand that I care about this. It upsets me that she’s okay with this happening. Is it reasonable to be jealous? To ask her to stop? Or am I being insane?

TL;DR: girlfriend is flirty with customers for tips and it’s making me jealous. Is that unreasonable?

Look Tommy, let Gina do her thing until the strike ends.

My boyfriend said he knocked over my makeup bag, but I think he may have intentionally smashed it [both 24]

This afternoon I went to my boyfriend's house after work and looked in my makeup bag that I left there from the night before and found most of my pressed powders shattered. The lid was off a bunch of my lipsticks and they got squished. My foundation was open and spilled. I asked my boyfriend what happened and he was surprised and said he knocked the bag off the counter and didn't realize that anything had broken and he just put it back on the counter.

I'm a little suspicious. For one thing I've knocked over my bag a ton of times and never had this level of damage. Maybe one or two shattered powders or an open bottle but literally everything? Also my boyfriend always tells me he thinks I shouldn't wear makeup. He says I look fine without it but I tell him I like it and it's not up for debate. I never thought he'd intentionally break anything though.

Is this probably an honest accident, or should I be more concerned? Should I confront him? Leave him? Forget it?

tl;dr Most of my makeup got ruined and I don't know if my boyfriend broke it on purpose or not.

she asked him to replace it and he said it's too expensive, just forget about it

Am I [27F] wrong in wanting my bf [36] to tell his ex about me?

I'm apologizing in advance for rambling on and any bad grammar, I've been quite emotional and I just need to vent and want to hear honest responses.

​My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a year now. Our relationship is good, there's the normal bickering that couples do but nothing extreme.

He split up with his ex over 2 years ago but he kept living with her because they had a bought house only a few years before they split. We met 1,5 year ago and a month or two later started dating. He still lived with his ex at the time, he lived in the garage though, not the main house.



This sounds like the other side of a /r/personalfinance post where a woman bought a house with her BF, broke up, and live together in the house still. I think the guy was already seeing other people. This could be her.

My girlfriend sometimes steals - Should i be concerned?

My girlfriend of nearly 3 years sometimes steals small objects from shops.

From time to time (3 to 4 months between) she will steal from shops. Usually it's small objects. For example the other day she walked into a shop, browsed for 5 minutes, and then walked out with a leather bookmark for a book.

It is something she would never use again. When I asked her why, she said that it looked nice, it was leather and she wanted it.

Tl;dr From time to time (3 months ish) my girlfriend of 3 years steals small objects from shops, such as leather bookmarks.

Should I be concerned?

One time on our anniversary ly woke and I stre having dessert on the front deck of a patisserie and a woman rolled by on a really cool looking bike. I followed her with my eyes looking at the bike and then turned back quickly. My wife had seen it and was looking at me with a smirk. She said, "Were you just starting at that girl's bike?"

In that moment I felt so grateful that I married someone who understands me. I still get all mushy thinking about it.

Also I found out that aspirin really screws up my period, so after spending two and a half weeks bleeding and spotting nonstop I have zero patience for anyone complaining about menstruation who doesn't even have to do it themselves.

What do I say in my breakup text to this guy? I’m a 25/F and he is a 29/M

quote:

I have no idea what to say. He’s a 29/M and I’m a 25/F

Been seeing this guy for two months. I’m supposed to meet his family this weekend. I have had it with him. I’ve given him the benefit of the doubt often and I’m sick of being used.

He has trouble cumming with me. He just will do it and do it and then won’t cum. I think he just isn’t attracted to me. He asks me to wear a bra or keep my bra on when we gently caress so I’m sure my fake boobs look bad to him and this makes me enjoy sex less.

I went on vacation when we first started dating and would tell him all about my adventures I had that day and then say I hope you’re having a good day! And all he would say is thanks.

I would send him sexy pics on my vacation and he simply told me my butt looked white. He told me later he was bad at sexting. He also left me on read often when I was sexting.

I made him dinner the other night and he didn’t offer to help pay for the expensive rear end groceries. He also didn’t wanna cuddle that night or have sex.

When I said things aren’t working out anymore between us he told me that he was planning on having me meet his parents so he was sad.

I had him meet my friends and I got him a pumpkin to carve with us and he didn’t even say thanks and after he immediately commented on how small her apartment was.

The last straw was when I surprised him with a taco this morning for breakfast and he immediately wanted to gently caress and couldn’t cum after thirty min and he didn’t even say thanks for the tacos.

I try to be positive but I’m sad cause he has trouble cumming at times, hardly compliments me or tells me how sexy I look, takes forever to text back, doesn’t thank me for favors I do for him. When we aren’t loving I ask myself, why am I loving him still?

So what should I say in my goodbye text to him? Or should I just stop talking to him. I’m so scared cause his parents visit this weekend ):

TLDR: I hate my boyfriend. He is selfish and takes advantage of me. What do I say in my breakup text to him?

[33M] needs desperate advice about marriage to wife [30F]

quote:

My wife of 5 years and I have been fighting ever since we first moved in together. It started with little stuff and non disruptive quarrels that every relationship has. Fast forward to present day and now, every so often, we are engaging in these huge blowouts. They catch me off guard. A simple question, or comment of mine gets manipulated and immediately leads to these explosive situations where she is yelling and cursing and breaking doors and throwing things. I normally respond by leaving the house and going to a safe place. She has been abusive in the past (grabbing my arm til it bruises, throwing me against the wall, yelling in my face as loud as she can) so I no longer hesitate to gtfo when things start to heat up. At first I was concerned that it was something I was doing (she persistently tried to convince me I was a narcissistic abusive control freak), so I sought personal counseling. If I was these things I wanted to become a better person. After telling our stories to a psychiatrist I was told that this was not normal behavior my wife was exhibiting and that I needed to either resolve things so that they never reached this level or protect myself and leave. I suppose I already knew this going in, but low self esteem on my part is most likely why I have stayed for so long and why I use to let her manipulate my self image.

Nowadays I find myself really really really bummed. We are on our 5th marriage counselor and it is accomplishing nothing. She continues to say and do anything she wants. Most times she does circle back and apologize, but the fact that this crap is still occurring leads me to think it will never end. Plus the arguments always get very personal and she tries to break me down to nothing so I am left feeling empty and worthless. I have signed a lease to leave our house and move out twice, but both times have lost the nerve. (Here is where it gets pathetic, sorry) Every time I think about leaving my wife. house, and pets I think; I'd rather be dead than have to face that loneliness. I can't explain it, but I associate leaving this abusive life as being worse than death. No clue what that is about, but it's depressing. Like I have something wrong with my brain. I know this treatment is wrong, and I know it will most likely continue with me getting bullied, but I have no confidence in leaving.

TL;DR I am unsure about leaving a partner who has abusive tendencies. Has anyone been in this boat? How'd you get out?

I see this topic come up now and again and I'm half torn between agreeing with the OP that their SO obviously doing the cartoon awooga eye pop is obviously disrespectful and wondering if the OP is the kind of person who thinks glancing at someone of the opposite gender is overt flirting.

Like maybe I'm just not dating the wrong people but I do have trouble picturing someone who was so ostensibly thirsty you could see it when you went to the mall.
I dated a girl who accused me of flirting for doing such wildly disrespectful things as "making eye contact with the waitress" and "saying thank you to the cashier" and "having another woman in my field of vision at all" so I am biased against all of these OPs. Jealousy is relationship poison but so many people think it's totally normal to want to isolate your SO from the world so no one else can even consider loving them.

A tiny little bit of jealousy is good and normal and means you are engaged in the relationship. Possessiveness and isolating your partner from the outside world are dangerous and abusive respectively.

You read the post, right? His brain is so thoroughly broken that he would rather she murder him than he live without her.

Id probably encourage him to move them to a rural farm house with no one around for miles so nobody else gets hurt after she kills him with one of the many many loaded and unlocked guns he should start buying and leaving around the house
