I am already struggling in school. I had to take off class once already for a death in my family and I failed last semester. I need to pass this class.

I mean even if he did, if the outcome was "you're going to have to drop out and get a job", then yeah, that sucks, but you hosed up by bringing a life into the world.

If the guy even had the attitude of "I know it's my responsibility, but if I can just get through the next year of classes, my income will be vastly better than if I dropped out now" I would be somewhat empathetic. But instead it's just "yeah man, he's not really my problem, I'm fulfilling my dream and not letting this kid get in the way."

He barely even talks about the kid. His post is mostly focused on forking over money to his ex and how that sucks since he's a broke rear end college student. As if child support is more about debt owed to a jilted lover rather than supporting the child itself.

He sucks for a multitude of reasons, but the biggest one is by far him acting like all of this just happened to him and he had no part in or responsibility towards it

Plus yeah uh I've taken a bunch of college classes and I have not once, ever, had a professor who would say no if you spoke to them during office hours and asked in advance for time off for your sick child

The man should be killed imo

e: oh yeah also him saying "I do what I'm required to!! That's all THE LAW says I have to!" When he'd be bitching and moaning constantly if he got taken to court and made to pay more

Plus, let's go at it this way: he keeps saying he's a poor college student who just doesn't have the money to take care of his child, and how much do you think his gaming PC costs

DragQueenofAngmar: Dec 29, 2009; You shall not pass!

I [27M] broke up with my GF [24F] because she couldn't handle me not watching porn.

quote:

Yes, you read the title correctly.

To start off, I don't watch porn during relationships. I like it as much as the next guy but not when I'm seeing someone. For reasons that become important later, it just feels wrong to me. Do I find other women attractive than my partners? Absolutely. I just don't feel the need to take it further and pull my dick out to jerk off to them. I'm perfectly fine jerking off to my partners and I feel satisfied with them.

I don't impose this on others and my partners are free to watch whatever they want.

Anyways, back to GF. One night, she randomly asked what type of stuff in porn turned me on the most (I guess she was trying to set a naughty atmosphere) I vaguely told her "oh just boobs and butts" but she proceeded to ask more, names of videos and my most recent viewing

I then told her I didn't watch porn, not during our relationship. But if she really wanted to know past stuff, sure.

That's when it all started to hit the fan. She looked at me like I was an alien, went really quiet and was distant throughout the night. The next day was a bit better, but she seemed.. awkward around me. I kept asking what was up but she wouldn't say. Soon after that she basically blew up at me "Why don't you watch porn? When were you going to tell me you were gay? You're just trying to hide it from me"

Yah. She went there. Despite my insistence otherwise, she continued to question my sexuality and that it was unfair to her. According to her, I was likely gay but in denial, and that I was playing her.

I tried to explain with the reasons above. She didn't really respond to them.

For three weeks after, EVERYDAY had some either passive or aggressive comments about my supposed lack of masculinity. I tell it hurts, but it only adds to her reasoning that I must have something wrong with me if I don't watch porn, and I'm being too feminine. It kinda makes sense, her bros and dad are your typical tattooed macho men, I have a feeling she was influenced by them.

She seemed really certain that I was gay and trying to hide it and play her. She spent three weeks trying to convince me I was wrong. And I think she just wanted me to seek help or admit my gayness.

Don't get me wrong, watching porn won't kill me. But it's about principle, I shouldn't have to do something I feel even slightly comfortable about and my resistance shouldn't be met with constant attacks on my sexuality. If the roles were reversed and I constantly questioned her womanhood for not making me sandwiches or other cliche feminine things, I'd totally be in the wrong.

So I had enough and broke it off. Se proceeded to call me an rear end in a top hat for doing it over such a small thing. I thought, why would she want to be with a gay guy anyways? Her reasoning was that even if I was gay, I did nice things for her in the relationship and it shouldn't just stop over an opinion (wtf). And I could seek treatment. Her friends and family think I over reacted and if any, she deserved the right to end things with me since I lied about myself.

I am heartbroken though. I really really liked her and we had no other major issues; I feel blindsided. Part of me wonders if I should take her back and hope she changes her mind. But I think I shouldn't

TLDR; GF discovers I don't watch porn during our relationship, constantly makes jabs at my sexuality everyday for 3 weeks. I broke up with her, she couldn't understand why. It's been hard for me.

My dad was also one of the 'do the bare minimum' type of dads, and not surprisingly we have a virtually nonexistent relationship. That's what is in store for that dad, assuming he even cares later on.

These types of dads also tend to be the most outspoken MRA types as well, trying to play the victim while screwing over their own family.

Absolutely, I've seen tons of these dads come through the system. It's always the same pattern.

-lovely dad puts in minimum effort, often actually below the legal minimum effort.
-Dad is outright cruel and nasty to child, child wants nothing to do with him, begs mother to stop sending them to the once a week agreed upon day.
-Dad is totally happy to get out of having to see his kid once a week and doesn't fight it or lift a finger for any sort of visitation rights.
-Dad doesn't even bother to remember birthdays or any sort of events, if mom and child don't make an effort years can go by without contact.

DemoneeHo: Nov 9, 2017; Come on hee-ho, just give us 300 more macca

AITA for not allowing my son to go to church with his friend anymore?

quote:

Hello everyone. Throwaway for privacy, and my husband will be reading these responses as well.

Our son Jake has been best friends with Sam for four years. They are both 15 years old. About three years ago Sam's parents asked us if we would be alright with Jake going to church with them on Sunday so that our boys could have sleepovers there on Saturdays and we readily agreed. House to ourselves every other weekend? Yes please! On the other weekends, Sam sleeps over with us on Fridays. This is a decently consistent schedule during the school year.

Please note that Jake fully supported this and wanted to learn about religion as his father and I are non-believers. We have nothing against religion and we were initially excited to see him wanting to explore his beliefs.

About a year ago Jake began making comments that we were not fond of. Example: "If you do X, you'll go to hell." He would say this in response to us "gossiping" (talking about an actor), saying words like "rear end in a top hat" (which, fair, I'll give him that one), and punishing him for bad behavior/grades (taking away his playstation). This escalated to him judging how we live and conduct ourselves, because we do not adhere to "normal" church behaviors. Example: My husband does the laundry, which my son said is not a man's duty.

At that point, we sat him down and had a long discussion on sexism, gender roles, etc. The whole nine yards. My husband and I also had a conversation with Sam's parents which we thought went over well.

Except his behavior hasn't changed, only became less targeted. He quoted the bible at us last week when I wouldn't let him practice driving. He quoted it again when my husband opened a beer. And again when my sister and I mentioned a current hot button topic.

I'm done. We're done. We told him that if he was going to use his religious beliefs/knowledge in such a way, then he could no longer attend church. We spoke with Sam's parents about having sleepovers be only on Fridays at either house, but now they're mad because they think we're judging them for their beliefs/way of life and are putting us on blast all over Facebook. But it's only because our son apparently isn't mature enough at 15 (I know this is ridiculous) to handle religion, I swear. We've lost two mutual friends over this situation and Sam isn't allowed at our house anymore (their decision) so at this point I'm doubting our decision to pull him from church because this is a lot of poo poo to deal with. Jake, of course, says he hates us.

I don't know. So are we the rear end in a top hat? I honestly didn't think we were until this blew up.

Eh, having worked a similar gig (working at, but not for Walmart/Sam's Club as a field technician) this situation would be a lot easier to end up in than you'd think.

Club stores are absurdly touchy about anything being out of place/order in their shipping/receiving areas, so I would hazard a guess that leaving unsecured merchandise on the dock is a biiiiig no-no. Also, if he was done at that store odds are the next day he'd have to be at a different one, possibly very far away preventing him from returning the next morning to wrap up. And if he's just a merchandise demo agent he doesn't have any difficult to obtain skills, so he's replaceable and probably knows it.

I'd ask why the closing manager didn't take more care ensuring the store was secure before locking up for the night. Usually these stores have a fairly rigid vendor sign in/out policy (walk into a store with a tool bag and a name tag and the greeter at the door will probably ask why you haven't signed in at customer service already) and it sounds like he knew there was a vendor in the store that would be working right up until closing.

Guy is completely overboard with "locked in an 8x8 room for an hour and could have died" though.

I was actually curious so I looked up a picture of what a 7x8 foot room looks like.

It's basically a small bedroom, plus he had the window open. There's no goddamn way he was going to suffocate in there, let alone in 45 minutes.

Got a friend who will complain rooms are "running out of air" if he's anywhere without windows and a closed door for longer than 5-10 min. Like the moment he notices there's 4 people in this 10x10 storage room and the door is closed he's go on about how its hard to breathe. I'm guessing it's more of a claustrophobia type panic reaction. Dude can't even have a blanket over his face or anything remotely covering his face because he'll "suffocate" and thinks if you sleep with even a think blanket covering your mouth you'll get brain damage from CO poisoning.

That is absolutely a claustrophobic panic attack. The only way you're going to notice any kind of change in the CO2 content of a room that size with 4 people is if you're in there for several days and every single opening is totally sealed so the room is airtight.
