I'm squnting really hard at this but still not seeing it. The second one is strait-up solicitation of a bribe (or sex, w/e), while the first one is called avoiding a conflict of interest. We're all on-board about avoiding conflicts of interest, right? Unless nepotism (etc) doesn't seem like such a bad thing for you?

?

No the first would be coercion (human trafficking) and the second one would be false imprisonment (also human trafficking). So most people in that situation trying to run a scam would try to make the person seeking career advancement seem ugly and sound bad as the reason they aren’t succeeding rather than describe an ethical conflict (because they would be admitting to human trafficking if they describe the reason as an ethical problem). You can’t bind a unique talent to a contract that they would otherwise be able to renegotiate under the threat of not performing.

My girlfriend (23f) and I had been planning to go skydiving with me (29m) for the first time. Instead she went with her 'brogrammer' work friends. (20s and 30s m)
u/tandylell1

quote:

My girlfriend and I had wanted to go skydiving together for a while. We actually booked it a few times last yearand it kept being cancelled because of the weather. Then it became winter, and we decided we'd go in the spring.

Over the winter, my girlfriend got a new job at a tech startup. One of those places with a "work hard play hard" kind of attitude. She loves it, and she made some close friends at work fairly early on. She works with all guys, and for a while I felt jealous that she was working and spending time with a bunch of guys, but I got over it because she's a programmer and that's just how it is in her jobs. Or at least I thought she was over it.

A week and a half ago ago, she said to me, really excited, that her boss had decided to treat the team to an excursion they could pick, for completing their first big milestone. And the team had agreed on skydiving (with drinks after for anyone who didn't want to skydive)

I felt a little sad about that, since we were going to go together and I said as much. She said I was welcome to join, but when she told me when it was I couldn't, I was busy that day.

So she went, and couldn't stop talking about how amazing it was, how fun it was, how funny to see some of her work friends with bigger egos getting nervous, how awesome the whole thing was. How almost everyone in her group jumped. It didn't help that they all went out to a bar afterward and hung out all afternoon.

She mentioned something casually about how she was glad she pushed for it, and I asked her what she meant. Apparently when the group had been talking about where to go, someone had said skydiving as a joke, and my gf was like "actually let's go that sounds awesome" and basically hyped everyone up to join her. That especially bothered me because it wasn't like she was dragged along or peer pressured in, she was the one who decided to make it a thing.

I told her that, how it hurt to have plans to do something with her that we'd never done before, and have her decide to go with her group of 'brogrammers'. She really pushed it off, saying she didn't wanna give up the chance to go for free, and anyway she'd go again with me. But I still feel crappy about it, and about how she didn't care

Should i be feeling this bad about it? How do I get her to understand I feel betrayed we were supposed to share something and she went and did it with her work bros?

tldr Girlfriend and I had plans to go skydiving together, she went for the first time with work buddies instead.

AITA for eating the majority of my burrito?

quote:

I was at a Mexican restaurant yesterday and ordered a steak burrito. My order arrives and after two bites I realize that it’s actually a beef burrito. Rather than taking it back immediately for the correct burrito, I instead ate about ¾ of it before taking it back. I figured they were going to throw it out anyway, so why not finish most of it? However, the girl at the counter gave me the dirtiest look when I asked for them to fix their mistake. She acted like I murdered the pope or something, and again scowled at me when handing me a steak burrito 5 minutes later. Now I’m worried that they spit in my food, or worse.

When I told the story to my girlfriend, she also said that my action was slightly rear end in a top hat-ish. I still think that what I did was justified. What say you, Reddit? Am I the rear end in a top hat?

EDIT: Alright so the overwhelming majority of people say that I'm an rear end in a top hat. In my defense, I was also trying to not waste food (which is how I was raised), but I accept the judgement. I will donate the cost of the burrito to my local food bank.

I [28F] cheated on my fiance [31M]. He went through my phone and found out. I desperately want to fix this relationship. (How) Can I?
u/relatthrowaway1111

quote:

Important stuff (never submitted before): We have been together for 4.5 years, engaged for 2.5 We live together, we have been through many tough things together in our relationship - illnesses, family stuff, etc. I felt like we had a very strong relationship. He moved out 5 days ago, I came home and all of his stuff was gone and he gave my friend the task of telling me. I haven't spoken to him since, he has blocked my number. I haven't gotten out of bed or eaten since, luckily I'm on spring break.

He went through my phone and saw 2 text conversations: 1 [20sF] that I never met with, only spoke to; another [20sM] that I met with on 4 occasions. I had ended things with both the day before my fiance left. I have blocked / deleted their numbers. This is the first time I have ever done anything like this.

Why I did this had nothing to do with a lack of love or attraction for my fiance. I've been to therapy and thought long and hard about why I did this/ was doing this and it's come down to essentially it was a coping mechanism. My family has imploded recently and it along with work and grad school has put an immense amount of stress on me and I became incredibly depressed. I wanted something I could control and I was looking for something to make me happy and I turned to this. Yes, my fiance makes me very happy, but our opposite work schedules lately had made me lonely. I'm now in therapy and taking my medication regularly, something I had been trying and failing to do before all this.

At any rate, I hate making excuses or explanations for it because I know I was just wrong and a garbage person. I never wanted to hurt him, I just want to fix this.

TL;DR - I cheated on my fiance due to depression / being a garbage person, he found out, and I want to fix this more than anything.

It’s a loving long con either way- he must have been planning this for 15 years?! What the gently caress

I know a guy that dated a girl for 8 years, 6+ of which he lived with his parents and she stayed there with him mostly. He kept saying he wanted to buy a house and not "throw money away" by renting. I suggested renting as a 'trial period' so they could have some experience living together before buying a house together. He also never proposed, or had started ring shopping at all because he said he wanted to get the house first.

Fast forward to house buying, they buy a really nice 3br house and move in, I go visit a few times and things seem great. Until I find out that the division of things is.. he pays the mortgage and *all* the utilities and she pays for food/random expenses and they split a bunch of the furniture. He ends up having to get a pretty serious surgery which leaves him laid up and on medical leave from work for months, during which time she takes care of him - including him having an actual bell that he rings when he needs something. I know this because he demonstrated while I was there and we were playing video games in a 'watch this' manner where he rings the bell, then yells for her to bring us drinks/snacks.

Less than 2 months after he recovers fully and goes back to work, he dumps her cold and kicks her out of the house. Turns out not only was he paying the mortgage/utilities, he was also the only one named on them. So she moved back in with her folks, and at least made it a point to take all the food she could pack with her. He then started dating one of her best friends (who introduced them), and got engaged to her in less than a year.

Now THAT is a long con.

I mean, his logic is right that they can't serve it to someone else so it would have probably gone to waste. However, you don't eat the whole thing automatically assuming that - its much better to bring it up immediately and mention the order came out wrong. 9 times out of 10 they will tell you to just keep/eat the incorrect one anyway while they make you a new one. Then you still get 2x burritos without all the dirty looks!

I mean, her self-preservation instincts were highly lacking. I know for a fact if I was in a relationship with someone for that long and we moved in together and my partner was like 'oh hey im goona be the sole name on everything and you can just give me money' I'd immediately wonder what was up. She not only didn't pick up on that, but then got double screwed being a caretaker for months (while working her full time job each day, she'd take care of him in the mornings/evenings).

Super messed up, I figure karma will sort that all out for both of them one day. Who knows what kinda trust issues shes going to have going forward though.

nobody cares about the fate of the fuckin burrito they hate him because like half a food service worker's life is dealing with dipshits trying to scam free food out of them with some idiotic technicality, and if the manager notices he's likely to take the loss out of their paycheck. If it's the wrong order but it's still clearly edible and tasty to you, just loving eat it.

yeah she wasn't even a renter, she was getting free housing and just buying groceries. Using her as a caretaker then ditching her was scummy af but that'd be scummy behavior no matter their cost-sharing arrangement, and out of the possible situations it could be she got basically the sweetest deal.

You can walk through downtown Seattle naked as the day you were born and they can't arrest you just for the lack of clothes. And I'll be damned if I'm wearing a shirt on a hot day when all the dudes get to go topless.

Pissing in public is still pretty illegal though. Find a drat bush.
