Boyfriend of three years (29M) wants to move his female coworker in (25F) in because he needs her.quote:My boyfriend just moved into a new house and wants his female coworker to move in with him. He’s been struggling with his motivation to work a few months now. He owns his own business. Sometimes this coworker would come over to help with production. I have a history with this woman because she made up a lie about me to my boyfriend in the past . I’ve made it clear that I really don’t want this person around me ,but also felt that it wasn’t my place to say who he should and shouldn’t have working for him. Today, my boyfriend told me that he wants her to move in because this will be the (only) thing that will motivate him to work. I told him that I was absolutely not comfortable with the idea. I'll also add that we don't live together. It would be just her, him, and his uncle in a three bedroom house. He lashed out on me and told me that I’m forcing him to make sacrifices and swaying the direction of his life. He claims that he’s been extremely depressed and unmotivated (which is all true) and that this person will help motivate him because of their work ethic. He also says that he plans to go into business with her in some other way...and if she doesn’t live there it wouldn’t be worth it because they’d only be able to meet late at night and she’d end up not working with him (which he really needs) I told him she should move closer or some other alternative solution. Here’s the thing, I absolutely don’t want to stand in the way of anyone’s success. I feel like I’m in a losing situation either way. If I say okay, I’ll be placing myself in a very uncomfortable situation. If I say no, then he’ll resent me and I’ll be the one standing in his way. I also feel that it’s kind of bullshit to not have any alternative solutions. I really don’t think it’s necessary to live with your co worker. Then again he claims that he only wants her there for work and that this is about the success of his company. So in essence, I’m not supporting his dreams or future. Just to give an update. I told him I was done with the relationship and he basically started crying and offered to put cameras in the house??? I’m just so confused.

Vegan desserts are normally fine, cake is primarily flour and sugar. So you use oil instead of butter, and I dunno something else instead of egg and it's 90% of the way there or more. Let her have the vegan cake and if you must have something non vegan get a Betty crocker mix and make one yourself. It's like 3 dollars and zero effort and five year olds won't notice the difference. It seems like the dumbest thing to fight about.

Second, to credit the OP, they are actually being a hell of a lot better about it (if they are to be believed in how they treat their ex) than most people would be, sad they can't just do this too.

Stalin would get his guys to erase people that fell out of favor with him in photos; hence the Stalin reference. For example:  That cosmonaut got booted from the Soviet space program, so he was taken out of any and all photos

Hot take though, I'd say stay being their penpal and help them through a terrible time in their life and maybe with your positive vibes and values be a positive change for that person's life. Of course, this OP may not be able to do that now that he has to grapple with this whole white pride is racism thing he just found out about. EDIT: sorry, I guess I just parsed it wrong in my mind.

It's a reference to a practice which is an unnecessary comparison since people get the idea without needing the visual:  But you have a right to keep your photos of your own past whether someone else likes it or not. I'd say an estranged parent has the right to keep photos of kids they went on to abuse, as well. You're allowed to keep an accurate record of your life.

So, I am reading the GSR Trans thread slowly to get more versed in these issues. For me it seems like neither person is the rear end in a top hat? The ex has every right to want pictures of her old self gone from her view and the view of others. To me, the OP has every right to want to keep photos of her previous marriage, which presumably meant something to her. If they are still friends and the ex comes to the house at all, it would make sense for her to remove framed photos and put them in an album for herself. She should definitely remove the social media photos, however.

Hellblazer187 posted:Wait how did Stalin do that without photoshop? Photo manipulation has existed basically since the dawn of photos. It just involved stuff like hand painting or multiple exposures. There's a famous hoax where photos were made of two girls with fairies that were obviously just cardboard cutouts or exposure tricks and they admitted to it later in life, but a lot of people (including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) took them at face value.

Tythas posted:AITA for refusing to destroy photos of my ex-husband now that she is a woman? I think deleting the photos from social media is a fair enough ask, but the rest goes too far (and is probably unhealthy). Even without the specifics of this story, if a huge amount of your photos are with an ex it is probably best to download and delete them from social media when you become single anyway.

I think you're kind of an rear end in a top hat if you refuse to remove pictures of a friend from social media who asks seriously. Whether it's because they used to be fat, or because they are concerned that it looks like they used to party so hard, or because they were pre-transition. The rest of the request is over the top, so maybe it's a principled stand. You can also be an rear end in a top hat when taking a principled stand so shrug emoji

So your solution to this issue is to violate the sacred bond of friendship by lying to the ex? And it effects them because that's literally years of her life she would have to erase to please the ex. Vacations, family photos, pictures with pets. I don't know if you're married or not, but almost every photo of me includes my wife. I'd have to erase most of my life to satisfy a request like that.
