My mother (41 F) wants me (18 F) to take a Scientology communication course.

She's a very sensible and rational person

She has also been involved in Scientology since I was a little kid.

I know a woman that had her gyno ask her how she decided how much to shave. These creeps skirt the line where the women wonder if they're overreacting to something innocuous when in reality the guys know exactly how inappropriate they're behaving.

I don't really understand the Islamic woman's reasoning here at all. Does she want the policy so she has something official to keep her husband from coming? How is that a religious request?

I [22F] was in the hospital for over a month, screaming and delirious with pain. My boyfriend [22m] of a year was getting erections nonstop the entire time.
So I was hospitalized about eight months ago after a really horrible accident, and have very poor memory from that time, due to heavy medication. Frim the waist down, I could not move, and it felt like it was all being crushed. I'm back to normal life now, but my family and friends have been very cold lately towards my bf. I asked about it, they kept saying he was obviously selfish and stuff.

I was talking to an aunt the other day, and she mentioned that she was upset I was with someone who would just be horny when I was suffering. I asked more about it, and apparently during my hospitalizion, whenever my bf would visit, he just constantly had boners vsisible through his pants. I mentioned this to another friend, and she confirmed.

I talked to him about it, and he said that it was because we weren't doing it when I was hospitalized, so he was always horny. Apparently I also kept pulling my gown down, and when alone, asked if I could give him handjobs or blowjobs. Which he let me do. I think my aunt may have caught us once.

The thing is, I can't remember any of that, because I was drugged out of ny mind. I know I was in horrible pain, and would be crying/screaming/shaking from pain around the clock when conscious. And he knew I wasn't in my right mind when we did things. And I'm worried he was turned on BECAUSE I was in so much pain.

Should I be worried? Or is this stuff normal, and people are overreacting?

The trope of men being so loving clueless when it comes to basic chores is one of the worst. It's also incredibly ironic when you pair it with the trope of men are supposed to be handy and capable of being able to handle anything.

"Rebuild a car motor? Sure thing I can do that no problem."
"Durrrr how does laundry work?"

It's hosed up so many men.

I had a roommate in college who didn't rinse the dishes. Just soaped them up and put them into the drying rack.

It took me a while to discover why my food kept tasting like soap, but I confronted him about it when I found out, and after many heated discussions I learned that there are actually a ton of people (morons) who "wash" their dishes that way.

I was fascinated by the question "How many unique relationship nets can different numbers of polyamorous couples form?"

You've probably heard of a V, two people dating one person but not dating each other. Those people can be defined mathematically as connected nodes in an open-bowtie graph.

3 people has 2 relationship states, the V and the triangle, where everyone is connected. For 4 people there are 6 different unique configurations for the polycule. 5 people is 11. 6 is 34. 7 is 98.

13 people can form 20787104 unique polycule configurations.

I’m no wordsmith, so I’ll probably say something offensive at some point,

But my observation is that your partner having sex with others becomes less of an issue the more experienced you become.

Some people are naturals at it. Others have to learn it.

I’ve had a few hookers for girlfriends. One you get past the initial discomfort, and realize these days there are condoms lube and prep, you can.

Relationships get better with practice.

AITA for blowing off my workmates “religious” request.

I work in a very intense environment, with 12 staff. I’m the direct supervisor of 4 of those staff.

All staff, bar one, are white-anglo. The other staff member is Syrian and Muslim. Let’s call her Zara. I am her direct supervisor. Generally I think we’re pretty mindful. We always order halal food, and organise to go places that suit her.

However she’s pretty open on some aspects of her life being pretty hosed up. Her 21 year old daughter isn’t allowed to drive, or go out without an escort. She was forced into an arranged marriage at 14 with a 35 year old man. They’re still together and have been in Australia for 25 years, but her husband doesn’t speak any English and I think is pretty emotionally abusive tbh.

Anyway, once every 3ish months we all organise to go out on a “staff night out” somewhere fun for everyone. Lawn bowls, or teppanyaki or something. It’s by no means compulsory - one lady only comes at Christmas no worries - but everyone enjoys it and it’s just a fun way to unwind. Usually, people bring their partners, which is great as we’re all very close.

Zara never brings her partner, and none of us ever ask. No one has met him and everyone knows the history of their relationship. I’ve only become Zara’s supervisor this year and last week she came to me to ask whether I could bar partners from attending our staff night out. I told her I’d think about it, but the next day told her I wouldn’t as it had nothing to do with work. She then said it made her feel bad her husband couldn’t come and the reason her husband and her’s relationship is the way it is, is a religious thing. She said by not barring other’s partner I was not respecting her religion.

I basically told her sorry, bad luck, and escalated it, but have been stewing on this all week.

So, Reddit, AITA for somehow being islamophobic here?

I (F27) have been dealing with a weird problem. My husband (M27) started kissing his bicep a few weeks ago. I would just glance over at him and notice he was kissing it. At first it seemed like he was just trying to make me laugh but at least a few times I caught him doing it when he definitely didn't know I was looking. And lately it is like not just a peck but more like a full makeout sesh. You guys he is my husband and I love him to bits but I don't know if I can live like this especially when it seems to be escalating??? Help!

Update: so I talked to my husband. I tried to bring it up casually so that he wouldn't feel judged and things kind of blew up. He was super defensive and weird and asked if I was spying on him because I mentioned that I saw him do it when he didn't know I was watching. I literally was ready to accept that he was just a little weirder than I knew or even that it was a really well done prank but now I'm convinced it is more. He won't talk to me and somehow I'm the one sleeping on the couch. I need answers but I'm afraid of what I might find.

Update: you guys I'm feel like such a bitch. This morning I apologized to my husband and said I didn't care he can kiss his bicep whenever/however he wants. We took a nap together and I woke up and he was gone. I texted him and he would not respond and finally at 8 pm he strolls in with a gigantic tattoo on his bicep of ME. He got a tattoo of me on his bicep and he was pulling a joke on me this whole time trying to clue me in to what he was going to do. I legitimately do not deserve this man. Do I tell him about this thread??

When I was 20 years old and a student, I met a girl online who was 26 and worked as a nurse. She wanted to become a mother, but wanted to do so without a partner and raise the kid(s) alone. I agreed to donate my sperm to her to help her. She had a son, and I have told my wife about this when she and I first met a year after the fact. My wife was understanding at first but as time went by and we had a daughter of our own, my wife began giving me a hard time for it. She teases me with it. Asks too many questions. Like whether or not I donated "naturally" or just in a cup. I swear that's how it went about... I never touched the woman other then to shake her hand. Maybe she was asexual or something, hence the whole single mother thing. I don't know, and it's up to her. It was strictly professional.

My wife and I have a daughter of our own. During the time my wife, then-fiancée, was pregnant, the woman I donated sperm to contacted me on my e-mail and asked me to donate again, so that her son would have a full sibling. I agreed, visited her under the guise of seeing an old college buddy and deposited my sperm once more. A second son was born, a few months after my wife and I had our first child.

I've decided never to tell my wife about the second donor kid because she reacted so weirdly with the first one, and kept joking about it and teasing me with it. It makes me uncomfortable. Ever since Game of Thrones brought back the whole incest hype (my wife and I watch together) she's made a ton of jokes about "what if our daughter somehow met your donor son and they married and had a Joffrey-esque kid?)...

The whole way my wife responds to the fact that I was once a sperm donor weirds me out to the point where I do not want to disclose the fact that I was a sperm donor a second (and last) time after. Sometimes I think I should still tell her, but I'm not sure... if I would, how would I even bring it up and how would I make her stop teasing me with it or bringing it up in fights when she's upset and trying to get a reaction out of me? Don't know what to do with all this, so some advice would be welcome.

TL;DR: I was a sperm donor in my early twenties and told it to my wife but she was so weird about the whole thing that I never told her the woman I donated once to has a second child born to my sperm.

It was self-insemination using a syringe. I produced sperm in her bathroom by myself which I gave to her in a plastic cup and quickly left to allow her to insert it in herself in privacy. I donated three times this way, causing three pregnancies in total... the first was a miscarriage, the second and third resulted in two healthy boys being born.
