Theres no good outcome to "face full of cum" outside of mom looking through her rolodex and and finding the porn videographer she knows and giving the kids his business card.

there's almost certainly more to the story, no nurse would be like "here, take this sedative now while you're holding the baby and just call whenever you're nodding off" I'm guessing it went "finish up and call me before taking this so we can get the baby wrapped up and settled" and she was like "yeah whatever" and downed the meds either out of routine or sheer not giving a gently caress.

A whole bunch of people in the r/bestoflegaladvice thread about it were talking about how they'd had similar situations, with nurses shaming them for wanting to have them take the baby to the nursery so they could sleep, despite being unable to keep themselves awake due to exhaustion. Apparently they're pushing the importance of bonding with your baby to a point where some hospitals don't even have nurseries. Also, I'm pretty sure it's against most hospitals' policies for a nurse to give meds to a patient and not make sure they take them. That might just be in hospitals I've been to though.

TIFU by finding out I've been accidentally dating and loving my half-sister, after taking a 23andme DNA test

quote:

(EDIT 2)Proof:(https://i.imgur.com/Z0zm9xi.png)

Throwaway, obviously. I also made the same post over at r/23andme.

I just found out a few hours ago and my girlfriend and I are currently a mental wreck.

Quick background

My girlfriend (I'll refer to her as Sarah) and I have been dating for a little over than a year and our relationship has been going very well. We both happen to come from the same town and met each other in college after being introduced by a mutual friend of ours.

Here's where the FU begins to unravel

Last year for Christmas, Sarah decided to come over and stay with me at my apartment for the holidays. I also had decided not to go home for the holidays either. Plus, all my other roommates were back home visiting family, so we had the whole place to ourselves. It was perfect.

Christmas day rolls around, and Sarah had bought the both of us 23andme DNA kits. The thing is, is that we were both conceived by in-vitro fertilization via sperm donors. Both of our fathers were infertile so our parents had no choice. Deep down, the both of us were hoping to find our biological fathers through the service.

Fast forward less than a month later to today, and both of our results are in. Sarah comes over to spend the weekend and we go through our results together on our laptops. We compare our ancestry and health reports and nothing seems off. I even found out I'm 2% Native American. All was well until we arrived at the "DNA relatives" section...

Sarah tightly holds my hand and says "I hope we both find our fathers". Then I open mine up....

At the top of my screen, I see Sarah's name.... "27% DNA shared...half-sister.........."

Sarah starts hysterically laughing and tells me to stop joking.

I don't react to anything she says, and just stare at my screen in disbelief.

I then abruptly grab her laptop and open up her "DNA relatives" section. We see the same thing. My name at the top... "27% DNA shared...half-brother"

At this moment my brain just completely short-circuits.....

I'VE BEEN HAVING SEX WITH MY HALF-SISTER. HOLY loving poo poo. WTF

My mind starts going a 100mph and I began hyperventilating, going into a state of shock. I can't even remember what Sarah was doing at this time.

It's pretty self-explanatory by now, but for those of you who don't understand how we could be related, it turns out our moms were probably both fertilized by the same sperm sample. What are the loving odds, right? The fact that we're from the same town certainly increased the odds but still.

6 hours later, just typing this entire post makes my body shiver. There are no words I have to express what my mental state is now. To put it in simple words: I feel traumatized. Part of me still won't stop thinking about how much I love Sarah and then I realize our entire relationship was incest. I honestly feel disgusted standing in my own skin. I've even been contemplating suicide.

Sarah and I haven't talked at all since going into shock.

Right as I'm finishing up this post, Sarah has grabbed her stuff and left my apartment a few moments ago.

I'm probably not going to respond to any of your comments/questions for now and I honestly want to be left alone in the corner of my room. I really just needed a place to vent all this.

TL;DR: Former gf and I are both sperm donor babies and come from the same town. We take a 23andme DNA test and find out we're each other's half-sibling. Meaning I've been having sex with my sister for over a year. Turns out we both were conceived from the same sperm sample, go figure.

I do not give permission for my post to be used in the making of any movie, story, book, etc.

EDIT: My mates just came home and are giving me support.

EDIT 2: RIP inbox. Thank you all so much for the support. I just logged back in and didn't really expect this post to blow up. Last night was rough. Sarah's friend/roommate called letting me know Sarah was home. As of now, Sarah and I still haven't talked. But after an night of thinking, I believe I've come to terms with what we've discovered. For those of you who still think this is fake (I honestly wish it was), here's a screenshot showing our shared DNA (https://i.imgur.com/Z0zm9xi.png). I think the best way for Sarah and I to heal is to go back home (our town) and see how this all began with our families. Only then will we be able to accept the reality. I'll post more updates as things develop.

This is so weird to me because I only know about hospital nurseries from American media. As far as I know this is a American / North America thing. Here you have your baby in a hospital crib right beside you because it's your drat baby and you are supposed to take care of your drat baby and get to know it and hold it and bond.
(I mean to be fair with the budget cuts you just get send home even if it's your first child, but I spend a couple of days after my first child was born in a hospital facility and not once was my child not with me or the father)
I always wondered about the "looking at lots of babies" in TV and movies...
Sorry if this starts som kind of derail it's just so strange to me.

Xenocides: Jan 14, 2008; This world looks very scary....

My (16f) mom (31) doesn�t care that her boyfriend (35) kicked my dog

quote:

I got my dog as a Christmas present from my Dad two years ago. My Mom has been dating this guy since like last year and he already lives with us. I don�t like him at all and my dog doesn�t like him either.

My dog is really good at sensing bad energy in people and that�s why he always growls and barks at my Mom�s boyfriend when he is around. I almost had gotten into a physical fight with my Mom�s boyfriend last week. No kidding.

He had just gotten back from work and I was playing with my dog. He started barking like crazy and her boyfriend told me to put my dog in the cage. I told him that I don�t have to put my dog in the cage because this was his house first. My dog keeps barking at him and next thing I know, he kicks my dog and sends him flying across the room. All I remember is seeing complete blackness and then saw my Mom trying to grab the softball bat that I was going to crack his freaking skull with, out of my hands. When I say that I was FURIOUS and willing to go to prison for the rest of my life for murder, I mean that. My dog is my baby so in my mind he just punted tf out of my child.

After this situation happened, my Mom sat us both down and �talked� to us about it. Really she was just blaming me for the entire thing and told me that my dog should be kept in the cage and I told her that my dog wouldn�t be in the cage until she put hers in first. I was talking about her dirty, rude, ignorant, bitch of a boyfriend. She just doesn�t care. I told her that I can easily just tell my dad what happened and have him fly down here, beat her boyfriend�s rear end and then take me with him. But of course she won�t do that because that means no more child support payments that she can spend on herself. (Plus, I don�t want to move schools). My dad doesn�t like my Mom or her boyfriend and he already wants me to live with him and his wife. But I decided to stay with my Mom to help her around the house and so that she wouldn�t be alone (when she was still single).

I�m still so upset by it. On what earth is it okay to kick a freaking dog because you don�t like that it does what dogs do - bark?

Tl;dr: My mom�s boyfriend kicked my dog and she doesn�t care

We like to say :murder:

so it is nice to see it actually attempted.

In the comments everyone is telling her to go live with her dad. The reason she never asked him before is she was afraid she could not take the dog overseas. Someone with a happy ending to a similar situation in the comments:

quote:

I was in practically the exact same situation 4-5 years ago. My step father abused both my mother and dog, and it in turn changed both of them. I stopped going to school so that I could stay home 24/7 to shield him, my dog is terrified of men, and will try to bite them of they come too close. It isn�t my dogs fault, and I wish I could�ve removed him from the situation sooner, it�s a situation that I constantly regret keeping myself in for so long. My dad also offered for me to come live with him, which I agreed to in secret without telling them and ran from the house with some belongings and my dog while they were away. My mother and step father were furious, but me and my dog were safe. I never had to see or hear him be hurt ever again. It�s hard, very very hard. But if I didn�t... I too would�ve almost committed murder. Believeee me did I ever contemplate it.

And the stepdad or a similar rear end in a top hat who needs to get hit in the head with a bat:

quote:

Seems like there are lots of problems here to sort through. Why would your dad give you a dog as a christmas present when you don't live with him? That's a lovely thing to do to your mother. I'm surprised she let you keep it!

Secondly, your dog is barking and growling at this dude. You should have put him in its cage. There is no such thing as "bad energy" that the dog is detecting. Its just a poorly trained dog.

Its good that your mother took the bat away from you. Actually planning to crack somebody's skull and go to prison - that's nuts!

Yeah, he shouldn't have kicked the dog, but it seems like you've got a mess of a situation. Just do your best to follow their rules, try to train your dog better, get a good education, and then get a good job and get out of there as soon as you're old enough.

Allow me to present to you some Dhalsim-level contortions about what yoga is:

My (24 M) girlfriend (26 F) is doing sex with her yoga teacher, but insists it is "a new type of yoga" and I am wrong to be jealous. What should I do? u/Yoga_Question_2

quote:

Me and my girlfriend have been dating for 14 months, but it came to my attention a few weeks ago that for at least 2 months or so she has been having sex with her yoga instructor.

I was very aghast to hear this, but she has said to me that I am being weird and judgmental because what they are doing is actually a new type of yoga and that is part of her yoga training.

I have to admit I do not know a lot about yoga and I do love my girlfriend and trust her, but part of me thinks it is unusual that this would be a type of yoga. But every time I state my opinion she says I am wrong and she is just doing sexual yoga.

I asked her if she might do a different yoga class instead, but she says the one she is in is very beneficial. I asked her if other students in the class are doing this sexual yoga thing but she said that that part of the class is 1:1 and private with the instructor.

I have also come to find that sometimes my girlfriend and her yoga instructor go out to dinner, but she says this is just as friends, and one time they spent a weekend together in San Francisco but this was for a yoga retreat.

I am very conflicted because I do not want to be wrong and if this is all part of her yoga instruction I do not want to ruin her class, but it all seems a bit weird and makes me uncomfortable. How can I come to terms with and accept this method of yoga? Or, what is your opinion on this? Has anyone else experienced this sort of yoga?

Thanks for your help.

TL;DR - My girlfriend is sleeping with her yoga instructor but told me it is just a form of yoga and part of the class, but I am not sure how to feel about this.

I want my gf to stop having sex with her yoga teacher but I do not to ruin her class. Anyone have any way to just accept cheating as yoga?

Not everyone is capable of taking care of their baby by themselves immediately after birth, for medical reasons or otherwise. Especially if they don't have a support system with them. If the father or other family is around to help that's one thing, but plenty of people don't have that, at least not right away. The people I know who gave birth in hospitals without nurseries said it just made the whole situation even more stressful.

In regards to the story, I'm assuming the lady was on a lot more drugs than just seroquel.

edit: I can see how in other countries this might not be as necessary because they probably have actual parental leave available. Here in America I know plenty of fathers who literally could not take time off (or maybe a day at the most) to help take care of their newborn baby because they would get fired. Or mothers who have to go back as soon as they get out of the hospital.

Additionally, the infant is also a patient of the hospital that they have a vested interest in keeping alive. It's not like after they clean the baby off they slap it on the rear end and say 'good luck out there, champ! Hope momma there that just went through a major medical procedure is feeling spry!'

My [21F] husband [25M] posted to reddit about us having a threesome, then sent nude photos of us to a responder. Am I crazy to be feeling violated?

quote:

Hello r/relationships, I made a throwaway for this for I guess obvious reasons. I'm posting via mobile so apologies for any formatting issues. We've been together for 1.5 years, married for just under 1 month.

My husband has been broaching the topic of us having a threesome (MFM), or even just having me sleep with another man while he watches. I was open to the idea, however I figured it wouldn't be a while so that I could at least get comfortable with the idea. And when I eventually got comfortable, that we would look together.

He first brought this up a couple months ago, and usually when we talk about it it's during the heat of the moment when we have sex. I get that it's a fantasy of his, so I typically just played along with it. Again, thinking we weren't going to be seriously looking for a while, because I still wasn't 100% comfortable with it.

However, last week he told me he started looking on reddit for other men for me. I didn't really know how to respond, so I just stayed silent. However, last night (during the heat of the moment) he mentioned he made a reddit post about it. I asked him to elaborate, and he said how he made a throwaway, posted on a couple subreddits, and got a few replies. And he's been responding to them!!

I again didn't really know how to respond, and this time he asked me why. I told him how I was just taken by surprised, as I had no clue he was doing this.

Today we decided to talk about it a bit more, and I was explaining my insecurities (both for MFM and FMF threesomes, and me being with another man/woman), which include not exactly loving my body and feelings of jealousy. He then bet me that others would find me attractive, started a conversation with one of the men who responded to his threesome post, and sent him my nudes. He also told him to cum to them, and showed a photo of his cock to this man. He also told this man how we're free "basically any weekend" to do sexual acts together.

The photos my husband sent were photos that I allowed him to take of me when we were still dating, in confidence that they would only be for him. And for him to just share them like they're nothing makes me feel sick. Reading thr conversation they had also made me feel sick, where they were just talking about loving me and how "hot" it would be. The other man sent a photo of him cumming to me, and the fact that my husband was okay and actually initiated this all makes me just want to cry. He ran none of this past me at all, from sending the photos to telling this man when we're free.

I feel so violated with this all. My husband knows I'm upset but I don't know if I'm just crazy for feeling this way. He technically took the photos of me, so they're "his" but I never thought he'd do this with them. And even if he wanted to do this, I thought he'd at least ask. Run the idea by me, and see if I was okay with it. But I had no clue at all until afterwards.

Am I crazy for feeling this way? What do I do, how do I even talk to my husband about this? This is the only one I know about, but he told me lots of people responded, what if this is just the only one I know all about?

TL;DR - My husband has been searching reddit for men for me to sleep with, and made a reddit post from a throwaway asking for a threesome. He responded to users messaging him, and sent my nudes to at least one user without my knowledge, after I explained my insecurities on even having a threeosme. Am I crazy for feeling so violated?

Edit: please, to the people messaging me to talk to them so that they can help "prepare" me for a threesome, or giving me their info in case I'm interested, I'm not. This isn't why I posted. I'm asking for advice because I feel violated, and these messages aren't helping at all.

My [22M] girlfriend [21F] says I don't trust her family because I won't take her luggage

quote:

Last month my girlfriend of one year and I went on a month long overseas holiday to Europe for a vacation and to see her family (cousins and grand-parents). She has seen them before many times but this was this first time I would have been meeting them. For the past week she had been struggling to pack everything she had needed (carrying gifts for her family). I had packed everything I needed in a smaller suitcase and still had space left over. I had offered to take anything she couldn't fit in her suitcase. The night before we left she said I needed to come down to her place in the morning to get a few items she couldn't fit. I happily agreed. A few hours later she rang me asking me if I could repack my luggage into a bigger suitcase her family had bought (for me - hoping I would use it. Without telling me). My parents weren't too keen on that and didn't like her saying I should use her suitcase. While they didn't think she may have tampered with it, they said they would prefer if I used my own suitcase. They told me they would be like that with anyone. While I'm not proud of how tactfully I delivered the opinion, the news was not received well. She said I don't trust her family at all, that this is a red flag in our relationship and she will never be able to get over it. At 3am that morning we said we were getting on the flight but we didn't know where our relationship stood.

In the day I went over to get the stuff anyway. We didn't speak. She rang me before we got on the plane telling me she didn't want to go. I felt the same but when I told her that she got annoyed at me because "she wanted me to convince her to go". She also said some not too nice things about my mother (which she now does now regret) too. But despite this we got on the plane and agreed to put it behind us. I wanted to have my overseas holiday. Surprisingly the first part of the trip went really well and it was completely forgotten. It came up again one and a half weeks in. My fault possibly. I said maybe we should talk about it now instead of "forgetting and not forgiving". That didn't go too well again. She said the same things and said that she hated I didn't ring her or talk to her the morning before we left to talk about it and it meant "I didn't care about the relationship". However a few hours later she apologized saying she was stressed about her meeting my family (who we had not at that time). I thought that was it and I really enjoyed the last three weeks of my trip.

Then on the flight one in the airport layover she broke down again and told me exactly the same stuff she told me on the night it all happened. How I don't trust her family. How she can't get over any of it. She told me that she hates it because I didn't fight for the relationship because I didn't call her. She said I can't say "I'd do anything for her" because obviously I wouldn't. I was also told that I'm horrible at comforting her and "these" are the ways I should do it. The other issue that this conversation was spurred on by me saying I don't think I'd do illegal things if she asked me to do it for her (e.g. driving unlicensed). In that moment I was ready to walk out but I didn't want that long flight next to her after breaking up and I pretty much said what I needed to in order to get through it.

It feels like she wants someone that will do absolutely anything for her, but it looks like I'm not that person. Should I have been more trusting of her and done what she had asked? Or was holding my ground the right thing to do? If she says this relationship can never be the same - is that my cue out?

tl;dr: I didn't take a suitcase my girlfriend wanted me to take and she says it's ruined our relationship forever.

These people are both crazy. The boyfriend's family is also really weird.

"Relationship implodes over completely inane nonsensical argument" posts are always my favorite. My personal favorite is the one where they break up because the girl and her mom relentlessly make fun of the boyfriend for putting the milk in first when making cereal.

If you put the milk in first, you should probably be sent to a reeducation camp anyway, so I feel like any means short of that is a really gentle approach.
