i think if you need your own space thats cool, and understandable, if you need your own bedroom cause the thought of sleeping every night with someone that you supposedly love isnt exciting to you then maybe dont be in a relationship or wait longer or get help

I love my husband and vice versa, but I'd love to have separate beds. I'm a light sleeper, he snores like crazy and in the summer our bedroom gets super hot sleeping with another person. Also I tend to toss and turn and he claims I punch him in my sleep when I roll over. I'd be fine with separate beds in the same room but that doesn't block the snoring and I already sleep in the highest rated earplugs I can find. If their relationship is otherwise fine and they have the budget for a place with an extra bedroom, I say go for it.

Try mixing up different things with the meat you use - my mom makes really good meatballs & she mixes them with crushed crackers & adds a couple eggs so they stay together while cooking. Could be like that, or maybe oats or something that changes the texture without affecting flavor.

I whizz up my meatball meat in a food processor so it's kinda a little bit smoother. Also, try adding finely diced green bell pepper. :discourse:

It looks like it's not just the sleeping thing. She's also introverted and on a totally different schedule than him. She wants to move in but basically live the way they already do and only spend time with each other occasionally when they both feel like it, otherwise staying in their own separate places. At that point, why bother moving in?

If he snores really loudly and sometimes starts and stops like he's choking get him to a sleep specialist to get a sleep study and maybe a CPAP.

Gimme yer frickin pancreas

I needs it for reasons.
My partner and I just do not sleep well together. He gets up frequently, tosses and turns a lot, and can't stand to have the dog on the bed and I'm a light-sleeping sweaty burrito who likes when the dog is at the foot of the bed. Even though we have similar schedules, if we doesn't get enough sleep, it's hell for us.

We've lived together in the past and that insistence on sleeping together almost killed the relationship. We don't share bedrooms now and things are delightful. gently caress what other people think - guard your precious sleep with the blood of others if you have to.

I (30/F) need help "breaking-up" with (46/M) only been dating 3 weeks and he's a stage 5 clinger

quote:

Like the title says, I (30/F) have been dating this guy (46/M) for only a little over 3 weeks. He was very sweet when we went on our first few dates, a little too sweet verbally to the point where I was uncomfortable and let him know.

I have previously been in emotionally/mentally abusive relationships and getting overly complimented, getting showered with verbal praise, etc is very uncomfortable for me. I let him know when it was too much and he would back off. After our first few dates though, he would continually cross my boundaries with less and less of a "cooling off period"

A few days ago, he didn't just cross my comfort zone, he bulldozed through it. I was so uncomfortable I shut down and have not been able to text him back. He has sent me 20+ text messages, called me multiple times a day and started calling me well past my bedtime (I get up between 230-3am) and sent me a friend request on Facebook.

It is to the point where I am in a constant state of anxiety, I've had to turn my phone on do not disturb and notified my roommates that I'm scared he will turn up at my house. He has never been to my house but my car is recognizable enough and he knows the general area where I live.

I am stuck between anxiety and irritation that he will not leave me alone. I am looking for advice on how to tactfully tell him he crossed a boundary for me and I am no longer interested in seeing or talking with him. I am an empath and people pleaser, saying no or standing up for myself is extremely difficult. (yes, I am in therapy)

TL; DR: only dating a guy a few weeks, he verbally crossed a boundary and made me extremely uncomfortable I have not spoken to him in 3 days and have received 5+ phone calls, 20+ text messages. I am a spineless people pleaser that can't seem to find the balls to just message him to leave me alone due to previous abusive relationships

At least we don't need to say it this time.

He's only going to back off if he is made to feel unsafe.

So I say loving go to HIS work, with muscle in tow, and tell him to back off, in front of his boss if possible. Escalation is the only form of deescalation that works on people like him.

My Boyfriend(25M) Called Me(23f) a Stupid A and Dumb A Over Something Silly and Said Something iCant Get Over it.
Relationships
Tl;dr Boyfriend called me stupid and dumb because of rap music.

My Boyfriend and i have been dating for 10 months now and He's Playfully insulted me but for him to seriously insult me is something that made me cry. However something thru me off.

So the reason i was called stupid A and dumb A was because of.. Rap music. Recently i went to a family gathering of his and heard his little cousins saying the N-word but with the suffix -er. I told them that they shouldn't say it. My bf overheard and said if i Don't like that word I shouldn't listen to Rap music then because they say it in most songs.

He himself makes rap music but he doesn't say that word but i Don't listen to his music. It's something i just can't vibe with it. Once he showed me his music Earlier in our relationship i told him my honest opinion. "I like your music, is it something I'd buy on iTunes? No, but i definitely support you and will help anyway iCan."

However what thru me off was when he told me I'm a stupid-axx because I'm defending black rappers. Maybe I'm looking to much into it but his next comment was "you don't hear mexicans rappers calling themselves beaners." I told him he came off as micro-racist and he shouldn't have said black/mexican rappers, just say rappers.

Next he called me a Dumb-axx because I'm a Sociology major yet know nothing of society. He Believes rap music is the heaviest influncer on young kids. So if i listen to it i shouldn't be suprised when kids say it. I said " I disagree social media does influence them but you're forgetting family, friends, and community that have more influence."

Finally he told me i shouldn't talk shxt to his family ever, i Apologized because it wasn't my place to say something to them. Next, he told me to stop listening to mainstream rap and listen to his. I stopped talking to him after that.

This happened last night. Am i taking his comments to serious and should dismiss them?

Somebody with that much attachment and that little respect for boundaries could try and find her in real life. Given that she directly stated shes worried about that given he knows her general whereabouts and car, I doubt just blocking would work.

Sending him a gently caress off card could work.

My girlfriend [f, 25] and me [f, 27] have been dating around a year and a half and she won't masturbate and it's causing tension

quote:

I don't mean my girlfriend has to masturbate, but she puts the entire burden of her sex drive on me. She's constantly horny, and requests sex often. When we do have sex it's really one sided and rarely focused on me. I have suggested multiple times that she masturbate, especially when I'm out of town.

Recently I have experienced a dip in my sex drive and the constant pressure to have sex with her is putting a toll on my mental health. Again, I suggested she start masturbating, even if slowly at first and have offered a few times to masturbate mutually to help her get started and maybe ease some of the shame she feels about it.

It now feels like it's my "job" to get her off. I am looking for advice on how to talk to her about it, or other solutions to get her taking more charge of her pleasure.



TLDR; My girlfriend won't masturbate and it's putting all of the pressure of her sex drive on me, which I'm struggling with.

I think you're reading a bit more into it. Wanting a separate space in the home doesn't strike me as inherently unreasonable; if I were to share a two bedroom apartment with a girlfriend I would be open to treating the two bedrooms as "his and hers" rather than "bedroom" and "hobby room". There would presumably still be a common living room area that they would share.

Also, "why bother moving in" - uh, because being in the same apartment is still closer than living down the block or across town? Because you could combine food and utilities?


That said I can also understand a bit of hesitancy on the other partner's part. There's a lot of assumption in our culture that a successful relationship eventually means sharing the same bed every night and I think it's understandable for someone to feel a twinge of insecurity and wonder if "let's not sleep in the same bed every night" means "I'm not as into you as you are into me." I think that's something that could be talked through, as long as "sharing the same bed each night" is not something the partner specifically has as a required goal of their relationship.

AITA for telling my neighbor that his fiancé might be cheating on him?
I often walk my dog around the same times in the afternoon and the evening. Almost every day for the past 2 or so weeks, there’s a strange car from ~8:00PM to 12:00AM (my neighbor Matt works graveyard shift). I don’t really think anything of it (because who really concerns themselves about a neighbor’s car), but like an hour and a half ago, I saw Matt’s fiancé talking to some dude. They didn’t really notice me (or if they did, they didn’t care) as I was walking my dog, but I distinctively heard her say “bye sweetie” and gave him a kiss.

Well I loving despise cheaters so I loitered for a bit until they went inside and then I took a picture of the car and texted a picture to Matt. I said and I quote

hey dude, sorry to bother you, but there’s this car that’s been here every day and I saw some dude kissing your girl. Just thought you should know, sorry if I’m intruding or anything. Hope im just overreacting

He didn’t say anything yet (I sent it 7 minutes ago) but I’m playing the situation in my head and wanted to ask Reddit if I was an rear end for sticking my nose into their business.

Edit: He responded saying "Are you sure she wasn't hanging out with a girl". Apparently she was supposed to be hanging out with her girl-friend. I said I'm 80% sure because they have short hair (It was night time, after all) but I KNOW I did see her kiss and say bye babe. I have to go to bed at 11 but I'll try to update as I can until then.

Huge update: She came to my door (I have a sill that opens up) and she starts screaming at me to mind my own business and why would I be so cruel to her and I don't even know her and why would I try to ruin her marriage and what I did she ever do to me. I said I'm sorry; I just don't like cheaters, and if she does not leave now, I will call the police. She said "let them come" and that she was going to call them for "harassing" her and to go gently caress myself and I'm a piece of poo poo for trying to destroy her life for nothing. I start recording her on snapchat and putting it on my story laughing (okay I might be TA now) as she's tantrumming and crying and screaming. She said "she'll be back soon" and left. Now I'm glad I told him so he can get away from batshit insanity.

LAST UPDATE: PLEASE READ.

So I’m going to leave this up as a lesson as myself and to others. I acted like a HOOMUNGUS douche-cannoe and I deserve to be shamed.

Apparently his question was supposed to be literal. She was supposed to be hanging out with a actual girlfriend; apparently she’s bi and he’s straight and they both could have girlfriends. He expressed reservations in the past because he didn’t want her to sleep with another guy and she assured him that she’s completely okay with girls. That’s why he was asking “am I sure she wasn’t hanging out with a girl”. So when I said 80%, that really pissed him off, and he called her and told her off.

They had a huge fight and after they hung up, she came to me and told me off. That’s when I started laughing at her and recording. She was pissed off and humiliated and she left, and shortly returned with the “guy” I saw which was a pretty, butch-looking girl with short hair. Soon afterwards, a police officer came and she said I was stalking and harassing her.

She told him about the photos and the videos and the snapchat story and he asked to see my phone. I told him no, I know my rights, but he said if I didn’t, he was going to make this a lot bigger of a deal than it has to be so I eventually caved. He did see all my pictures (the 5 or so of her car, a couple I tried to get a glimpse in her window, and the videos I had of her crying). He asked me what the gently caress I thought I was doing, and I tried to explain my side of the story. He wrote up a report and went to go talk to her and that was a couple minutes ago. I’m scared shitless that they can press charges and IDK what happens from here.

Just wanted to share this and somebody can learn from this experience. It’s getting late and I don’t feel like Redditing so maybe I’ll come back to this tomorrow.

I (40sM) am a doormat

quote:

I used to think I was just caught in a bad marriage. Married too young and we ended up being very different people when we grew up. But I left that marriage and it was the same with the next two relationships. It's the same with my kids, too, and was the same with my parents growing up and so so many friends I've had and lost in life.

Basically, if there is something I want, fine, as long as I can get it on my own without bothering anyone else. But if there is something they want, it's a given that they shall have it. If them having it presents a problem for me I'm expected to get over it. If them having it requires me to provide it, I am expected to provide it. If I resist providing it for any reason (usually because it degrades my wellbeing to provide it) I am often treated cruelly until I give in. Family members (including my kids) will literally scream in bloody terror or resort to physical violence to provoke me to act in the manner they have prescribed (you can check out my post history for one of the most extreme examples of this). The youngest one, so far, is merely manipulative, but is learning to be as insistent an advocate for their way over mine as the rest of them are. I tried to reason for a while that my kids do this to me because I didn't use corporal punishment when raising them, but that doesn't explain the behavior of other family members or former friends.

I don't behave like that, to them or anyone. I'm generally pretty generous and open-minded. I'm happy to let people do and be as they are as long as they're not harming someone else. But if someone is unwilling to cooperate with me, even if it means ceasing actions that harm me, I can pretty much go take a flying leap, because asking someone to consider their actions towards me constitutes them not having their way, therefore can lead to the same abusive behavior towards me as when they are trying to get what they want out of me.

Friends tend to just stop being my friends and disappear from my life.

I'm pretty lonely even though there are people all around me. I'm jealous that they are able to enjoy their life because their enjoyment depends so heavily on forcing me to support them. I feel like I could be happy even if they would just show some gratitude, but I'm up against this attitude that they are in complete control of their lives and I don't actually contribute anything meaningful. Which is nonsense. Without me continuing to play my role their lives would fall apart.

What have I done to get myself in this situation? How did I get to be such a piece of poo poo that people who should love me consider my wellbeing as annoying and unnecessary if it means for them even the slightest inconvenience?

More importantly, how do I change this?

TL;DR, most of the people in my life treat me like a doormat to the point of being willing to be violent. What am I doing wrong? Why am I such a piece of poo poo that doesn't matter?

I think it says something about him that when asking why people treat him so terribly he says that it must be because he's a piece of poo poo.

AITA for treating cashiers like they’re stupid to avoid getting the wrong change (self.AmItheAsshole)

quote:

I pay in cash a lot of the time, and I like to avoid having any more than 5 singles in my wallet at a time, so I strategically give the cashier more dollar bills than necessary to cover the total, with the intention that my change will come out to $5.XX or $10.XX. This lets me get a larger denomination than one dollar bills so I’m not walking around with a bulging wallet that makes me look like I just robbed a strip club or a lemonade stand.

For several weeks this practice worked fine until one night a cashier assumed that I was either drunk, high, or disabled when I handed her a twenty-dollar bill and a one-dollar bill. I think in her mind, I was just shoving everything I had into her hands as if to say “Is this enough? Did I hand you enough paper to equals $15.81, pretty lady?” so she calmly handed the one-dollar bill back to me and gave me a very awkward $4.19 in change, consisting of no less than ten individual pieces of U.S. currency.

Now I didn’t want to make a scene then, but now every time I go to check out, I green-light my practice by first asking something like “if I hand you twelve dollars, will you understand what I am trying to accomplish even though ten would be enough to cover the total?” and they usually say yes. But occasionally people will say “what?” so I have to kinda treat them like it’s a stickup and say “here’s what’s going to happen. I’m going to hand you a twenty-dollar bill, a ten-dollar bill, and three one-dollar bills. You’re going to take the money and type in three three point zero zero into the cash register and hit enter. My change is going to come to five dollars and ten cents, so you’re going to hand me a five-dollar bill and a dime. Ok?” and I occasionally get nasty looks from the cashiers or other customers.

Am I the rear end in a top hat for not wanting to get burned again?

Edit: Some people have asked why I don’t just wait until the cashier gives the change back to see if they got it right, or more specifically why I didn’t explain the situation to the cashier who made the mistake. My issue with that was that handing back bank notes that are unnecessary to reach the total is what you do to children. When a child buys a $1.50 candy bar and hands you six one-dollar bills, you hand four of them back because the child is stupid and doesn’t understand what is going on. In handing me back the one-dollar bill, the cashier treated me the way she would treat a child. She assumed that I was not communicating anything important by handing her the extra dollar, and I felt like anything I said regarding numbers after the register was closed and the exchange was completed would be treated like the confused ramblings of a child who she wants to leave the store as soon as possible.
