Uh yeah, they're criticizing sexual abusers and other gross dudes they've been with to warn off their friend, not complaining about cock size or how they never orgasm with a particular partner. They're really good people who are trying to fight back against awful dudes their age and save another person. Her boyfriend is being an idiot and probably thinks it's okay to defend rapists because they aren't "bad guys".

That post has to be written with the deliberate intention to mislead. The original post has her and her friends going through every guy in town saying simply don't bother, not worth your time or giving star ratings using the phrases 'bad sex' and 'awful in bed', self-describing it as just having a laugh. Then the clarification is "well actually what we meant was rapey stuff" and we were warning her. Like the first post it is completely reasonable to think that they are just rating guy's performance in a way that would be considered lovely regardless of the gender of the speaker, then the clarification completely reverses the meaning and is at odds with the initial description.

This world looks very scary....


Boyfriend (30M) distant after discovering old video of me (29F)

Thought I knew where this one was going to go but wow did it take a turn....

quote:

I am quite ashamed of this and am scared to write about it here but I have no one to talk to.

I have been dating John for about 9 months now. He is generally great and very understanding and patient towards me. I do not have a good dating history at all. In my home country, there was circulated a very famous video of me being beaten badly by my old boyfriend when I was 22. I filmed it secretly in order to have proof of my abuses for the police report. It shows my face, his face, and his actions to me very vividly. He beat me repeatedly and very violently and this full video was leaked to shock sites and various gore type sites. People wrote horrible things about me, how I deserved it and more, and people who actually knew me started taking sides. I finished college, graduated, and went to the US for a job opportunity and have not gone back since. I think most people in the US would not have seen this video, or if they have, it was a long time ago and may not recognize me. It is a really big shameful thing to me and I usually like to pretend it doesn't even exist.

Anyway, John found this video of me because I know he looks at gross websites all the time and I guess it is still around. He asked me if that's really me and what's the story of what happened? I told him everything. He said he was disgusted but didn't really elaborate.

This was over the Christmas holiday and since then, John has been very distant towards me. I am very hurt and sad about this. I feel like he thinks I am a damaged person because of what I told him. In the video, my ex boyfriend refers to me cheating on him with another guy but this was his delusion. It was never true. But John has no idea what is truth or not. I am just so hurt right now. He met with me briefly on New Years but we didn't discuss the video and I didn't bring it up either.

I don't want to beg him to talk to me but I also want to know why is being like this. Is he disgusted with me? Scared of me? Why would he get so cold and quiet? What should I do?

TLDR: Boyfriend found old video of me online and asked me what the story was. I told him (around Christmas time) and since then, it feels like he is being distant and weird with me. He and I never really discussed it any further. I feel like he is horrified by it and doesn't want me anymore because I am damaged. Should I confront him about it? Should I let him go to do what he wants to do? Do you think he is disgusted by me? Sorry for my English.

:(

And maybe don’t date people who watch that kind of stuff as porn?

I'm not an expert on the tone with which women usually discuss issues of consent but I can say with certainty that the majority of men will interpret a group of women laughingly rating their sex partners in vague terms to not be about such matters unless specifically stated. In the same way that if you walked in on a group of men flippantly describing women they have known with a rating out of ten you aren't going to be charitable in your assumptions of what they are rating on.

It's common enough that in my experience it doesn't get discussed in hushed voices like "oh my god...can you believe he choked me????" In my experience it's more like "seriously? another weirdo? next!" Stuff like that, gross condom poo poo, may not even have been perceived as consent issues, just a bad time (although maybe this year it's changing?)

e: I mean I can definitely understand people misunderstanding from the original post, for sure. But I don't think it was necessarily a deliberate intention to mislead.

Yeah, sharing about creepy guys in a light way is something I've done many times. Not just guys I've had sex with, but warning new girls at work about "that guy you don't want to work with alone", warning friends at the bar about "that guy you don't want to buy you drinks or corner you alone" or even just general stories about "that guy who I really gives me a weird vibe, you know? And the stories he tells about his ex just throws up red flags".

Yeah, but even though the first post was vague I definitely got the impression from the way she described their conversation that "bad sex" meant more along the lines of the guys lacking consideration or respect for them. Not "his dick's tiny, lol." The specific details aren't surprising to me at all. Discussing that sort of behavior so casually is an indication of just how common it is, not a "deliberate intention to mislead".

all the time i am eating from the trashcan. the name of this trashcan is ideology


quote:

My (f21) boyfriend (m29) is upset I’m not participating in his mushroom foraging hobby

Using a throwaway just in case. My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years now. Everything has been pretty perfect until recently. We moved in together a couple of months ago and it was all going well, but he has recently taken up the hobby of picking wild mushrooms and using them to cook. (Not the magic kind lol, just regular mushrooms). This hobby came out of nowhere (its very out of character for him and we just moved to the countryside after both living in the city all our lives) and I know how dangerous eating wild mushrooms can be, so I was taken by surprise when he came home with a bag of mushrooms he just picked and used them in a stew. He made me some but I said I didn’t want any and he got really upset, saying that he’d looked at photos of different mushrooms online so he knew which were poisonous and so I should trust him. I still refused and so he tipped my portion out of the window in a tantrum and then was in a bad mood with me all night. Anyway, this has happened about five times since, and every time he gets really upset with me for not wanting to eat the mushrooms. This is despite the fact he has had severe food poisoning after two of the times (according to him it was a stomach bug), despite the fact I may potentially be pregnant, and despite the fact I don’t even LIKE mushrooms and never have. He shouted at me the other night saying that this is ‘typical’ of me and that I ‘never participate in any of [his] hobbies’, which I don’t think is fair, since I’ve been to every one of his rugby matches since we met, regularly play his video games with him, and aside from that, he just spends literally all of the rest of his time at work or hanging out with his friends (never taking part in my hobbies). Also I recently bought him a book about foraging (that he literally hasn’t touched since I gave it to him; apparently the knowledge he’s acquired through google is enough) in the hopes that would be sufficient participation in this particular hobby, but apparently all he wants is for me to eat them. Is this an attempt to poison me lol?

Am I being silly for being too worried to eat them in case they’re poisonous? Shall I just try some even though i don’t like mushrooms? Or am I right to be cautious?

TLDR: boyfriend has recently started foraging for mushrooms without proper research and gets upset when I don’t want to eat them despite the fact they’ve made him sick, I could possibly be pregnant, and that I dont even like mushrooms to begin with.

a) I think this is the weirdest thing I have ever seen someone use a throwaway for, and b) bolded line is my favourite.

Im no angel i threatened them phisically and spent a week in the hospital myself. We have a whole poo poo ton going on but there is nothing regarding divorce or custody. What rights do i have. This is Illinois Mchenry county. I dont want to run off with my kids either but she wont let me talk to them or see them and i dont know where they live.

There are zero legal proceedings other then an active dcfs investigation.

My husband (26m) is upset and wont talk to me since i (25f) learned i need extensive dental work.

We've been together for five years. Up until last year I hadn't been to the dentist in many years. I don't really have a good excuse for not going except I was suicidal and didn't brush for many years and didn't think I would live long enough to suffer the consequences. I have much better dental hygiene now but the damage was already done.

I only worked up the courage to go to the dentist again a few months ago when my tooth cracked and I had no choice but to go. I had to have a root canal and crown which were very costly but we were able to afford it. We discussed that I would need more work done when our insurance renewed.

So a few days ago I went in for a new patient exam, and it was pretty bad. The dentist quoted me for about five thousand dollars of work that needed to be done to get my teeth back in shape. That's after I already had the 2k dental work from before. We can afford it, technically. We do better than a lot of people. But of course it's still a lot of money. It doesn't need to be done all at once, but it does need to be done this year.

I told my husband immediately, and he's been very distant ever since. He won't talk to me except to say that he's upset with me. I can afford to pay the payments for the work but I won't be able to help our family in other ways financially and he's really upset about that. I know it sucks, and I have no idea how to talk to him about it. I don't want my husband to resent me forever but I don't want to lose my teeth. What should I do?

TL;DR: Husband hasn't spoken to me in days because I need 5k dollars in dental work. What should I do?
