However I don’t think there’s really enough in that post to determine if she’s being a greedy leech who will never get a job and just suck up his money for years, like what’s posted at the top of this page.


That's fair and something I hadn't really considered to be honest, so good point there.

I think the argument she made that I quoted about "never knowing when she'll get this time to travel," is a good indicator that he isn't unreliable or at fault and she just Wants To Go On This Trip. I wasn't suggesting that you didn't see it as well, but that's such an obvious solution that it paints her in a really poor light.

Anything that relates to "keeping score" of any kind when it comes to sex is an immaturity red flag to me. Number of people, number of places, keeping track of every race or ethnicity they've had sex with once you're a grown rear end adult in the dating world is friggin weird.

Yeah that's a good point. If nothing else it certainly sounds like she doesn't really understand how gracious he's being here, or probably what the value of a dollar really is.

Devil’s advocate for vacation girl, but I can understand wanting to take a short vacation after the stress of college before diving into the stress of your first real job. There may also be some unreliable narrator stuff going on, the “When do i get to recharge?” bit sounds real petty and bitter. Also, it doesn’t seem unreasonable that even the most hard-assed boss would be able to let someone take a single day off work for a long weekend or something with a few months heads-up - she did ask him to TRY, and it didn’t seem like he did. That being said, she probably should just accept that it ain’t happening and they could both start working towards saving up for a nice vacation in a year or something instead, but that'd require some kind of communication and compromise on both parts.

Bosses make people come in while they are dying. His boss may be an unreasonable piece of poo poo, like a lot of bosses are. If he's stressed about the cost, about work, etc, the vacation will suck no matter what. It's better for her to wait a bit before going on a long vacation, especially since he's been supporting them both financially and saving for the wedding. Ideally, she'd take them both on it as a sign of gratitude for that support (she doesn't have to, obviously, and just paying for her own half would be fine), unless he's also planning on going back to school or something.

AITA for wanting to shower right before I fall asleep?

quote:

Last night, my roommate sent this text: Hey girls, about to go to bed so when/if y'all come to the apt tonight plz try to be quiet, and no more late night/early morning showers :) those wake me up. Let's keep showers between 7am-9pm. Thanks!

I try to finish my errands and homework before going to sleep. Showering means I have to take my makeup and contacts off. I don’t like going out and feeling dirty when I come home/Iay in bed, moreover. As a result, past ~7pm, I can’t go to the library anymore to study or hang with friends.

Sometimes my days will end as late as 5am, so I’m a little frustrated that she’s dictating my grooming schedule. Is it appropriate for her to tell me when I’m allowed to shower?

UPDATE

I touched upon all your points! Thank you.

She texted back: I can move it to 10pm. But I ask for flexibility and compromise on your end too since we’re living in a shared loft apt. I’d suggest learning to take a shower near 8-9:30pm and then going back to the library or etc. see how you feel, it’s nbd. Lots of ppl do it. You can take a shower in the morning too if u really feel dirty still. I know my request is not unreasonable cuz lots of living arrangements & dorms agree on “quiet hrs” which includes showers. IMA is open till 10:30pm M-F so you can also take showers a little later there lol.

LMAO WHAT THE gently caress the IMA is our campus gym and it’s a twenty minute walk away!!!! I can’t believe this.

If you keep a backup on github (like just paste whatever into a word document,) You'd have source control for when canvas inevitably fucks your poo poo 6 ways from sunday.

There’s a rather famous case of a high school teacher loving one of her students, going to jail for a few years and then resuming the relationship with the student once she got out and he was 18. I think they got married and have kids now. I think the student was a bit older than 13 at the time though. I read some article about them a while ago and it was basically “well, it’s a weird situation but they seem happy together :shrug:” which is mega hosed up, personally speaking.

My (24M) gf (23f) doesn’t appear to be over her potentially very well hung ex (m26)

quote:

So I met this girl 6 months ago and we were seeing each other for a while before things became exclusive (probably around 3 months ago).

She always said she had only ever had one previous relationship which lasted 5 months back in 2015-16. The relationship ended when the guy left her.

Long story short we are very happy together normally but one day when we were beside each other in bed she went on her instagram as she often does and sitting beside her all I could see was his name numerous times in her search history. I asked her about it and she got really defensive saying all her friends do it and she was just checking up on him. I decide to overlook it entirely.

So fast forward a couple of weeks, and this is where I do something real bad. She leaves her phone down when she’s out and the curiosity gets the better of me (Awfu I know). I have a look and she’s made a note on her phone which is saying how she needs to stop living the fantasy of being with him and then after some stuff about me not really being into her (which I somewhat reassuring I guess).

Another thing I see is one dated from June (we met in October) where she says she’s worried she’ll never be able to get over him. Despite it being over two years later.

Further to this she admitted to trying to reach out to him a month before we met.

I really like this girl and can tell she likes me but there is an undeniable feeling of being second best to this person and also wary of the fact that if he ever made a concerted effort to take her back he could do in a heartbeat.

This is only compounded by the fact that on his social media he is referred to by himself and his friends as 9 inch. can only pray this doesn’t mean what I think it might.

"Tiny Trains"

Vacation after graduation story:
My friend dated a really entitled rich girl who just HAD to go to Italy after she graduated. Despite having rich parents they only paid for her school, not her living expenses, so instead of getting a part time job she just moved in with my friend and lived off his income. Going to Italy was a huge cost for him, didn't have parents buying him a trip for a present, but it was important to her so he scrimped and saved over the year.

He couldn't get as much time off so he was to join her a week later into the month long trip. A couple days before he left he got an email from her saying she had met a much more exciting guy in Italy, wants to live and work in Italy, and they're done. He was devastated and felt pretty used, but carried on and had a great solo trip in europe that he totally couldn't afford.

A couple months later he gets another email from her saying she hates Italy, the boy she shacked up with dint work out and with no job she has nowhere to stay in Italy so is coming back to Canada and hopes to move back in with him and she'd reconsider their relationship. He Pete'd her good, having a spine and all.

She had to live with her parents for a couple years until she found a wealthy finance guy to very quickly marry, not sure she ever worked a day in her life.

Yeah, lol at thinking that taking down the map would make him feel better about it. His memory of the pins would probably just get worse over time and he would build it up in his head as having even more than are actually there. At least now he can see that she had a fun life before she met him.

Honestly, having seen long battles with cancer, at a certain point, especially when it's clear they're not going to make it, they stop being the person they were to you and just become... something else. They still require tons of care, especially of their primary caregivers, and the medications make them start behaving strangely. It's horrible but you get to the point where you want then to go and it feels like that's when you start moving on. I've been through it with grandparents and other family members and I can't imagine going through it with a partner. It may seem a little weird but I feel like I get that guy. Imposing your own stipulations on someone's grieving is kind of hosed up unless their behaviour is really exceptional.

Still creepy that the new wife looks like the dead one and doesn't know or care. My friend was dating this woman for a while and they broke up, and she started dating another guy who looks exactly like my friend, and they're all friends still. I make excuses not to hang out with all of them because it creeps me out.

That said, it wasn't a long battle, she succumbed and then took a long time to die. These are the worst because the person can live for months or even years despite a guaranteed prognosis of death, except they are incapable of caring for themselves. This is why euthanasia should be legal. I can't imagine anyone willingly living in palliative care for more than a few weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if they had secretly met while the dead wife was still alive.

WIBTA if I don’t get my kid a present for his 18th birthday?

quote:

This is going to be long. Also, if you haven’t seen Shazam! yet, don’t read this. There is spoilers.

I had my son with my ex. When we all lived in Canada, I had 50/50 custody with my ex, until my now husband and I moved to a different province. At that time, my ex wanted to go to school full time and we agreed that I would take our son full time, and his dad would see him as often as possible.

We had him full time for three years, then his dad moved to the place we were living and we went back to 50/50 custody. All totally amicable.

5 years ago my husband got offered an amazing job in California. I wanted my son to come down with us, but I felt super guilty about taking him away from his dad again so we talked about it and I told him that if he wanted to live with his dad, I understand.

He decided to stay with his dad. TBH it sucks and I miss him every drat day.

We send child support every 2 weeks, I text with him all the time, he comes to stay with us for 6 weeks every summer. And we have always been super generous with gifts - we sent him $500 at Christmas. And we are going to give him living expenses and help with the cost of his post secondary education.

So my son went and saw Shazam! on Friday afternoon. We were going to see it Friday night. He texted me and said “Hey the mom in the movie reminds me of you!”

Okay ... I watched the movie. And saw the mother. Who abandoned her kid.

Holy poo poo. I was in tears. I texted him and told him how much that hurt me. He said it was a joke.

But I don’t feel like it was.

I am so hurt that he would do that. I would never ignore his birthday (which is in 4 days), but I’m wondering if I should still send him the birthday money I was planning on, or if I should limit myself to a card and a phone call.

I am too upset to figure out if that would be too bitchy. Would that make me the rear end in a top hat?

edit: Thank you all so much! I though my first reaction was totally me being neurotic - and it’s really good to get everyone’s read on the situation. I will be sending the offspring his birthday money (because he prefers that to a physical gift), and of course we are talking through things. Again - huge thank you!
