Its my experience, men tend to think of bisexual/pansexual women as being 99% straight and the 1% left being largely situational and performative. The bisexual woman sleeping with another woman is okay because many men view that as more for their gratification than the gratification of the women involved. Therefore, sleeping with another woman isn't a threat to the relationship - but sleeping with another man is (because those are the 'real' relationships she has).

He wants his girlfriend to fit a porn stereotype.

Or maybe he's not into dudes.

I strongly question whether your friend marrying into the family of a "monster in law," who both insists on a huge plantation wedding and offloads as much of the cost as possible on the wedding party while micromanaging their appearance, is things "working out well." Should have just convinced her to run screaming from this whole fuckin' thing.

This reminds me of this story previously posted:

The White Dress

quote:

This story is about my friends MIL, and her wedding. Strap in guys, this is a wild ride in which I did THE THING that got me banned from any of her family functions. (Plus a few threats of dismemberment and bodily harm)

A good friend of mine from university was getting married! They had been a couple since Junior year of college, through her 2 years in the peace corps and currently her return to this continent. 6 years in total. She had been to all manner of family functions and always came back with a strange story about how she thinks her MIL secretly hates her. But she being a very quiet and sweet person pushed those thoughts aside.

Point 1: She is vegetarian and jewish, husband is not. She was invited and went to Christmas dinner and figured she would just eat sides, as well she brought a vegetarian casserole. MIL, after knowing her for THREE years, and being told by husband a few weeks before about not to forget friend doesn't eat meat...proceeded to put meat in every dish. Friend drank water and ate her casserole the whole night while MIL cried to everyone that friend was so rude for not eating her cooking.

Anyway, back to the story. A few friends and I were asked to be in the wedding. Friend has a HUGE family and so this was not going to be a small affair. Neither of them is particularly religious, but friend said it was would be nice to be married under a hoopa. (Think an arbor but 4 poles and covered with a white cloth and lots of flowers) Husband said he could care less, and told her to go and rent one for the wedding.

I was at the bridal shower when MIL found out the "pretty canopy" was actually a hoopa. She almost lost her poo poo in front of a bunch of people, but managed to compose herself and laugh angrily that "if the jews were being represented so would the catholics." In my head I heard a record screech, guys... they aren't catholic.

So after much fighting, a lot of screaming, crying, threatening to pull money (which is funny because she contributed nothing), MIL lost. The boot was firmly placed, and nothing was moving it. Hoopa yes, catholic priest no.

Things got stupid quiet, my friend texts me the night before the wedding that she has a bad feeling. I tell her it's probably just nerves, she is getting married and this is a big deal! Oh how wrong I was.

We all show up, get our hair and makeup done. Slip into our bridesmaid dresses and hang out waiting for the bride to be finished with her hair. She makes a comment saying she hadn't seen MIL all day and that she skipped her hair and makeup appointment. We all side eyed each other, took a few sips of wine and hoped the eerie feeling would go away.

30 minutes later as we are helping the bride into her dress; guess who shows up. If you guessed MIL, you win a cookie! Flushed from coming up the stairs, (she is not a light woman) in full hair and makeup...and a white dress. Not ivory, not cream, full snow-loving-white. The dress was clearly a wedding dress; it was even from David's Bridal (which she would later shout at me). Floor length satin with a sweet heart beaded top, a bit of a train and off white lace on the bottom. The dress was even tailored to her, this has been a long con she has orchestrated.

The bride burst into tears and aunts and friends ushered MIL out. We did our best to console the bride, touched up her makeup, and I made her a promise that the dress would never be seen in a photo. She looked me dead in the eye and nodded. The game was on.

The venue only supplied white wine and champagne for the wedding party. But I grabbed my purse and ran down into the reception area and managed to flag an attendant by the bar and bribe him with a cool 20$ to give me a bottle of red early. I cracked the baby open, filled a solo cup to the brim with it and stalked outside. After a few swigs from the bottle for courage, I went over to where everyone was getting ready to take photos.

With one last hard stare at my friend, I got her nod of approval. I pulled out my phone, held it in front of my face like I was reading a text and walked straight into MIL. I poured the entire cup of red wine down the front of her dress, jumped back and gasped.

The look on her face was murderous. She screamed, yelled, threatened, and promised she would sue me. People had to hold her back because she wanted to fight me. Eventually she switched from screaming to sobbing and sank to the ground and threw a tantrum on the floor. Everyone moved back and just let her go at it and walked away to go take photos. It was surreal, as if everyone just hit their limit and noped out from around her. The 12 year old flower girl whipped out her phone and snapped a few photos much to our amusement.

This is already super long, but I will say that MIL went home and changed (only 20 min from venue) into a nice dark green too small and low cut dress. Because of this she missed all of the photos. Wedding was beautiful; I got death glares from everyone she told that I attacked her with wine. No fucks were given as I drank and danced with friends. Bride thanked me in secret and 3 months later took me to the spa for a day of pampering. But I am officially "that ISIS oval office" to MIL, and I'll take it with pride.

AITA for making a joke about my S/O's mother's fart during dinner?


My gf (24) and I (27) just moved into our first place together. We are super excited, and now live a little closer to her parents, so once we settled everything in we invited them over for dinner. Now keep in mind that I have met her parents before (not a whole bunch of times) but know them to have a pretty good sense of humor.

So we are at the table, and my gf's mother rips a particularly loud, exceptionally smelly fart. Like the kind that there is no hiding or ignoring. It slipped out, apparently, and she is mortified. She says out loud "oh my god, I am so embarrassed". So in an attempt to take the embarrassment off her, I said "YOU'RE embarrassed? I'M the one who has to hide my erection now!" No response. My gf shot me a dirty look, but her parents carried on as if I had said nothing, seeming to deliberately avoid contact. Now, this is where it goes wrong. I am the type of person who uses humor to diffuse uncomfortable situations, so instead of letting it go, I doubled down and started wafting the air towards me, breathing in deeply and going "mmmmm". This caused my gf to audibly say "what the gently caress are you doing?" It was then I apologized and explained I was just trying to shift the uncomfortableness of the situation off her mother. The rest of the night went ok, nobody really talked to me after that, and now my gf is really mad at me. So, AITA here or is she overreacting?

EDIT: I showed my gf the responses on this and apologized profusely. I also plan on calling her parents (at least her mom) and apologize and tell her I realize how out of line I was. For those of you saying this story is bullshit, well I can't really convince a bunch of strangers online, but for what it's worth I made this on a throwaway specifically bc people in my life know my regular account and I really don't want this story attached to that.

This is hilarious.

My bf(34) never compliments me (32), he makes me feel unwanted. I just sent him a couple of nudes to get his attention, said "lol, I'm gonna meet Karen" (his best friend)
We've been on and off lately, I leave cause I feel unappreciated, then he comes back crying he needs me, he says he loves me but once we get back all the love he says he got for me, just disappears. I've been feeling ugly and unwanted, and now he replies "lol" to my nudes, I feel like such a piece of poo poo. Is this normal? I mean, some of my male friends say that they don't compliment their women when they've been together for years, maybe he doesn't like me anymore and just want me to boost his ego when he's down? I hate this, I feel like an ugly clown rn. Sighs. What should I do? Am I overreacting?

AITA for telling me GF that if she dies I'll put up her kid for adoption.

quote:

Not much of a context here. I'm dating a girl (F25) whose a mother of a 4 yo. We live together in my apartment so yeah I'm introduced to her kid's life.

So last night when we cuddling on bed we were talking about death and stuff like that. She asked me out of a blue what would I do about her daughter if she died. I looked confused and said "I guess she goes to your parents or I don't know<gigles> foster care. She stood up and that startled me. She said " really?". Then she got up and said that she was spending the night with her daughter.

I still can't believe she expected a different answer. I told this to a few friends and most of em said that I was an rear end in a top hat for saying that. Really?

AITA really?

Yes. Really.

WIBTA if I reported my sister’s grading method?

My sister is a junior high school math teacher in the US. She’s been doing this for two years now, and she teaches some summer school classes to pick up extra cash on top of regular semesters.

For some background, she seems like she really hates this job - she’s always talking about how much she dreads going to work and how it’s not a job she can “switch off” at 5PM or whatever. She’s gone on many many rants about dealing with parents/administration/students etc and just based on what I can see, in my opinion this isn’t the best fit for her.

Last week she asked me to help grade some papers, using a key. I was going through all the answers, marking the wrong ones using the key and putting the number of mistakes on the front sheet, where she would then use her formula to determine the grade. Suddenly she started telling me the number of mistakes to give a few of the students, BEFORE I could even open their packets. After I asked a few questions, she nonchalantly explained that she has a habit of giving out grades to a few students based on what she thinks they’re likely to earn (smart students might automatically get an A and lower achieving students will automatically get a C or D). I was really shocked when I heard this, because to me the whole idea of a fair education system is a place where anyone can work hard and improve and it sounds like she’s really screwing kids over based on her assumptions just to save time.

I asked more questions, she says she doesn’t do this all the time, only when she feels overwhelmed with the amount of grading she needs to do, and not for anything major (tests etc). I also know that teachers have incredibly stressful jobs and that the grades she gives out don’t stay on the students transcript (it’s not high school yet) so maybe it’s not a huge deal?

Still, I told her she shouldn’t do it, and that she needs to take the time to grade everything properly because that’s the right thing to do. She basically scoffed at me and told me that every teacher does what she does and that it’s dumb to expect full grading, so she won’t change anything.

I’ve been really uncomfortable about the whole thing and wondering if it’s a serious enough issue to bring to her schools attention or at least her department? I don’t want her to lose her job but I also don’t want students to keep getting stereotyped and possibly screwed/failed/passed when they didn’t earn that.

There is no goddamn way other teachers do that and if so, put them in the loving chokey holy poo poo messing with middle schoolers minds is top tier evil.

GF doesn't want me there when she's hanging out with male best friend

quote:

Throwaway bacause GF knows I'm on reddit. My GF and I (M) have been dating for about 2 years. We're both late twenties. She's the love of my life and ever since I saw her I knew she was the one for me. Our relationship is absolutely fantastic, and even though we don't live together officially I'm at her apartment most of the time. Lately I've been thinking about asking her to marry me, but there's one thing that bothers me so much that happened and because of this I'm not sure what to do.

GF has a male best friend. This guy (I'll call him A) means absolutely the world to her and to be honest, I absolutely hate him. Bit of background: GF went to study abroad for 2 years when she was in university over 10 years ago. First year she lived with a local family, and A (he's 3 years younger) became her "brother". They got along really well, both parents worked so they spent a lot of time together. After a year she moved out but they continued to hang out often (also at her place even though that's not normal in their culture). When she told me this I wasn't happy (didn't let her know though), because she was in university and he was only in high school, just imagine a 16/17-year old living with an attractive 19-year old woman...

Fast forward to now. Since he lives on the other side of the planet I've never met him. She sees him about once every two years but they text and call all the time. I don't know what they're talking about because I don't understand the language. She says they just discuss his and her work, movies or shows they watch at the same time (they plan this), food, everything really. She repeatedly tells me they're just really good friends and she gets annoyed when I bring it up. This guy got really succesful the past few years and he probably has a couple million in his name now. I know he bought an apartment worth at least a 3-4 million a year ago. Girls basically throw themselves at him and he has a couple of million followers on social media. I'm pretty sure he likes my GF.

Three weeks ago A told her that he has to go somewhere about 500km from here for work, and she immediately began making plans for us to go meet him (he apparently even offered to book her a fancy hotel room in the same hotel he's staying at). GF says that I can come with her if I want, but only for drinks, she wants to have dinner with just the two of them. Her reasoning is that she wants me to meet A, but she also wants to just talk to him because they only see each other every once in a while and will feel awkward because we don't share the same language and she doesn't want to translate everything thus "taking away time".

I feel really disrespected that she chooses another man over me and basically dumping me. I've tolerated her calling and texting him so often (even when I was over at her place) but I don't want her to meet him alone. She absolutely blew up when I told her this, telling me I don't trust her (I trust her but not him), and that I can't tell her who she can and can't see and that she's fed up with me nagging about him in a negative way all the time. She also said that if I was going to act like this I shouldn't bother coming with her at all because I'm going to spoil the mood.

Now A wants to take MY GF to a really expensive restaurant to "thank her for all the support she gave him" (my GF's words, again, I can't understand them when they talk) and I'm not welcome. He even showed her a wrapped present that he's going to give her (probably something expensive).

Am I wrong to ask her not to meet him alone? Am I overreacting? If she really loved me I feel she would not meet him alone out of respect for me.

Tl;dr: GF wants to meet male friend, but only wants me there for drinks and not the expensive restaurant he is taking her because we don't share the same language.

UPDATE: GF doesn't want me there when she's hanging out with male best friend (GF perspective)

quote:

I wrote this update to show that there are always two sides to a story. My (now) ex made this post at the beginning of this week. It wasn't popular, but I wanted to share the other side as well as a lot of people automatically assumed I was cheating on him. It's going to be long. For the record: I dumped him that same evening the post was made. I only read his post after I broke up with him.

https://www.reddit.com/r/relationship_advice/comments/cak6p5/gf_doesnt_want_me_there_when_shes_hanging_out/

Summary of ex's post: I have a male friend who I see in person once every 2 years and since we speak a different language I asked him for some time alone. He didn't agree.

First of all, there are no romantic feelings between friend "A" and me. I am also close to the rest of the family. I just turned 18 when I went abroad for 2 years and they treated me like their own during the homestay. I was alone in a strange country with a different language, and they made my stay feel like home. They are a second family.

I can't see "A" often. He is quite busy and since I left his country I've seen him in 2012, 2014 and 2017. The last time I took a trip back to his country and I met up with the family. For those who are still doubting, "A" and I were both single at the time, we drank (quite a bit) in each others company (just the two of us) but NOTHING ever happened. But, this is not about my relationship with A, but about my relationship with my ex. I started dating ex a couple of months after this trip.

At first he was the best boyfriend I could wish for. He worked towards his goals, treated me with love and respect and my parents loved him. He gradually started to change though. I see it now as him slowly taking off the mask of "perfect boyfriend" and revealing his manipulative insecure self. He wanted to know where I was, who I was with and what I was doing at all times. It started with him constantly texting me when I was with friends, doing groceries, on my way to work, at work, lunch... all the time. Asking to send pictures of me and my friends I claimed to be with as "proof". He always did it in a joking way and gradually it became worse. According to him this was normal and he managed to make me believe that it was.

I once sent him a photo I took that had a broken clock on the wall that showed the wrong time. He picked a major fight when I got home calling me a liar, a whore and a cheater. This was also the day that I noticed he has an aggressive side. That should have been my cue to get the gently caress out but the next day he was like a door mat doing every little thing I asked him to do, profusely apologizing for what he did the day before.

He started badmouthing friends and my brothers. Later also my parents. He was trying to isolate me from them. When he saw them he was back to the perfect boyfriend however, so everyone thought he was a really good guy. A couple of times I voiced concerns to friends and family but they were like "he's such a good guy". I don't blame them for this, because in their eyes he WAS a good guy. I found myself walking on eggshells around him, afraid that I would mention something that would set him off. But then there were also the good days, where he showed the man I though I got into a relationship with and wanted to be in a relationship with.

A couple of months ago I noticed he read my messages whenever he had the chance (when I was sleeping or in the shower), he followed me on find my friends without me knowing and he deleted names of men in my phonebook (I use my phone for work as well and there were quite a few contacts that I only use for work). We had a big fight and he got aggressive again.

I started to doubt our relationship and I think he started to notice, that's why he wanted to marry me and he was in a hurry to have a kid, to bind me to him.

Back to "A". We call once every two to three weeks and update each other on big events throughout by text (once a week or so). Ex has shown jealous tendencies towards him since the beginning and tried to limit our contact, but he snapped when we made plans to meet. Every time I got a text he would accuse me of texting too much with "A", when it wasn't even him 95% of the time. He was once even looking at memes and sending them to me mindlessly, heard the notifications on my phone and then accused me of texting with "A" when he "took the time to come to my apartment and spend time with me".

He KNEW I wasn't texting him all the time because I showed him but he wouldn't believe it because he can't read what we're texting because he doesn't understand the language. He always insisted on being there when I called "A", for what I don't know because again, he doesn't understand the language. I even gave him my old textbooks and I offered to help him learn a bit (not just because of "A", but because the country and the culture are a big part of my life) but he never took up the offer.

I asked him for some alone time with "A" for various reasons. Translating is VERY tiring and difficult, conversations take three times as long and don't go as deep, I'm not a translator and I just wanted some time with someone I value a lot as a friend. I wanted to make it a long weekend trip with my ex where he would meet "A" as well, but I only wanted a few hours with him alone. I don't think this is wrong, and I still don't think it's wrong after my ex's post and reading the comments. My ex that I was dating in 2014 met "A" in the same setting, the three of us met for drinks, then ex kissed me on the cheek and wished me a lot of fun and went to our hotel room to watch a movie. Later that evening we met up again for more drinks after we asked him to, he was perfectly fine staying in. He had absolutely no problem with it (and we broke up on good terms for other reasons a year after).

Anyway, ex would bring up "A" multiple times per day out of nowhere and the questions would get more intrusive every time (from 'how often do you text' to 'how big is his dick'). At first he wanted to change my mind about meeting him, but I put my foot down because he is important to me. He became more angry and aggressive every day (tried to force sex because I had to show him that I loved him, grabbing me so I couldn't move during arguments, throwing with stuff, he punched a hole in a wall). He started accusing me of me sleeping with "A" all those years, that I'm a gold digger because I'm just waiting to get him now that he's wealthy, I'm a whore, a slut, a liar, made racist comments about "A" and I can't even remember all the other hurtful things he said.

Last Sunday was the last straw for me and we had a big fight. At one point I thought he was going to strangle me so I got scared and let him have the win as he'd like to call it. I barely slept that night and the next day I pretended everything was fine and I went to work. At 4 I went home a little early because I knew he'd be gone, called my two brothers who dropped everything to come over, we gathered most of his stuff he managed to bring over to my apartment the past two years and put it outside, changed the locks, sent him a break-up text stating that he can pick up his stuff but NOT come in and blocked him.

Well, he DID try to come in, went absolutely nuts when he noticed he couldn't, then he heard my brothers and he did a complete 180 and tried to convince them that I had a mental breakdown and that I needed him. We refused to talk to him (my brothers wanted to beat the crap out of him though) and he left after an hour to sit in his car in front of my apartment. He stayed another couple of hours.

The next day he came to my work demanding to talk to me, but I informed them beforehand to not let him in under any circumstance. He had some sob story about me and got more aggressive the more they refused him. That evening he parked outside my apartment again (one of my brothers is staying with me). We called the cops and they would come the next day if he was still there. So Wednesday he parked again outside my apartment and the cops came over to talk to him.

He tried to call me with different phone numbers, he mailed me at least 35 times (some agressive, some acting like the bf he was in the beginning begging to give him another chance). Yesterday he didn't show up.

I found his Reddit post when I was going through my computer so that I can re-install Windows because I don't know if he did something to spy on me. He made a throwaway but forgot to delete the browser history. It makes me so angry because he's so good at acting the victim when it benefits him ("I tried talking so many times, my gf is so angry, I'm a good boyfriend, she texts him aaaaaall the time"). He KNOWS I visit here and I think he wanted me to see his post so he could say "see you are going to cheat on me I'm right".

I'm scared but relieved at the same time. I'm still heartbroken and hurt. But I'm looking forward to meeting "A", spend more time with him than originally planned and not update my ex every three seconds with what I'm doing. It got quite long, but thanks for reading. And remember, there are always two sides to a story.

TL;DR my now-ex made a post about how I was going to meet a male friend without him and pretended to be a hurt good boyfriend. In reality, he was an abusive piece of poo poo and I kicked him out of my life.

Absolute laffo that every teacher does this, my parents made me go over tests and look up/do the problem again if I got it wrong and would have destroyed this woman.

Both my parents are professors so yes, it was a professional courtesy to make me appreciate the effort teachers put in to grading.

I wanna sing one for the cars
That are right now headed silent down the highway
And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

Texting your partner, hearing their phone notification for your text, and then immediately accusing them of texting someone else because their phone went off is some next-level poo poo

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

When I got overwhelmed with grading I would get very curt on answers. No attempts to follow their train of thought (a year trying to decipher others' papers did wonders for my own homework), not nearly as flexible on partial credit. It was a mess, and I made sure to shuffle the papers before I started grading to minimize the damage.

AITA for kicking my friend’s new husband out of my house?
My friend and her new husband came to visit my wife and I last week, so we could finally meet him. We couldn’t attend the wedding because of work, it was too far for us and it was just not doable. Anyway, they arrive, guy shows zero interest and enthusiasm of being here, but whatever, everybody has those days. We wanted to go to a new restaurant close to our place, and he is complaining that it ‘s too hot to walk outside, that we should order instead. Cool, let’s stay home and order. We are eating, having a few beers, talking to my friend mostly, cause the dude is not having it. I tried to engage so many times, but I just got short answers for everything. Now I’m starting to get annoyed, cause this guy is making things really unpleasant for everyone. He got super upset that his ice cream order was screwed up and he got something different, it was like watching a 5 year old kid. Still, we’re trying to deal with this loving idiot. Then he started looking at the pictures in our fridge, and then he turned to my wife and said "wow I almost didn’t recognize you in this picture, you look so good”. Backstory, my wife gained some pounds over the years, maybe 15,20 pounds, it’s not much ,but she hates it, makes her super sad and self conscious. So when this fucker said that, I just lost it and said “ alright man, you’re done, get the gently caress out”. My wife was paralyzed and so was our friend, and then I continued “ I’m sorry but he’s been an rear end in a top hat since he got here, this is my house, and you dont come in here and talk poo poo about my wife, so yeah, get the gently caress out”. The idiot couldn’t believe what was happening, then my friend started crying, grabbed her purse and they left. He didn’t say a word. My wife also started crying as soon as they left and said that she couldn’t believe what I just did, that I ruined her friendship, to which I replied saying that I was just defending her against that rear end in a top hat. She said that I overreacted and just because he was an rear end in a top hat I didnt have to be one also. So then we argued the rest of the night and eventually decide to stop talking about it cause we would never agree on the matter. My wife tried calling our friend and sending messages but so far no reply. Am I the rear end in a top hat here?

I think the specific context was about the idea of setting up people from those countries and saying “you two should date, you’re practically from the same place!” just like the person from the story wanted to set up two Native Americans assuming they had a lot in common (as in had the same cultural background).

I mean, it depends on the reasoning. If they're coincidentally from neighboring countries but have other stuff in common, sure. But if someone set up a French person with an English person and said "I'm doing this because you guys are both from Europe so you must have a lot in common", you would think that person is kind of dumb. This was that OP's reasoning.

It's kinda super weird outside of nationalistic nutjob territory to assume that these things even have a meaning for people in Europe today. Like, you're not thinking about the question of Alsace-Loraine, if you want to set up a date between a german and a french person, or the spanish crown's claim on parts of the netherlands for another couple.

Hot take: set up two people you know purely on personality and who they are as a person, and not (perceived) ethnic background.

Maybe you aren’t, but the rest of us need to establish de jure claims to expand our empire.

THIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEN SEIZED
by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation in accordance with a seizure warrant issued pursuant to 69 U.S.C Sec. 420
My fiance [25F] is loving me [27] with the redneck next door neighbor in his 40s

quote:

May not be the place for this question but here we go. First, this is true. Nothing sensationalized for you guys to jerk off too...sorry. I think something is wrong with my head. I am engaged or, at least, somewhat still.

I am 27, served 6 years in navy, acquired a bachelor's degree in graphic design. And I'm black as well as my fiance. Why is that important? Well, wifey and I have known each other for 4 years and dated for 3. We have the same interests, were both attractive. She's 5'4 slim and fine. I'm slim but healthy/fit. We are made for each other. She's truly my best friend. And the sex is good.

I got out the Navy, acquired a job that I've been able to advance in. We bought a beautiful fixer upper 2 years ago. Renovated it and it's our right now and near future home. About 6 months ago we get a new neighbor. Old neighbors move to Charleston and ends up renting to an older couple. I figured them to be at least mid 40s. The wife is bigger, pretty, but quiet. You get your friendly hey neighbor but that's it. The husband is quite opposite. Talkative, in great shape, muscular, and 6'5. At first he struck me as a know it all. "You shouldn't use this on your lawn, you should try this, don't use this" etc. I didn't mind at first. They were a nice couple, white, country accents, and seemed like decent people.

I started seeing less of the wife about 2 months after they moved in. Then my former neighbor, their landlord payed a visit. As I was talking to him, he let the cat out the bag his tenant couple are really just bf/gf who just split up. He said the bf wants to get a roommate and stay here but his exgf is moving back home. I wasn't really surprised because I hated to admit it but he could do much better.

Well, coming home from work I started noticing my fiance would be engage in a conversation with him on the front lawn. I'm not an insecure guy but seeing a guy nearly a foot taller than you, I'm 5'7, standing shirtless and barefoot talking to your beautiful fiance is not the most welcoming sight coming home from work. It got to the point I started varying my times I came home to see if this was a daily thing. I started noticing a slight change in my girl. Less sex, constantly cleaning, and texting more and more.

One day I came home and found and empty beer can in the trash. My fiance doesn't drink beer and neither do I. Went I went upstairs the entire room smelt like fabreeze especially the bed. This worried me and I'm a guy who cannot stop thinking about stuff that worry me.

A couple of days later I drive up to drive way, park and get out. We have a door where you can see into the house. Not fully transparent but you can see figures moving. I clearly see a body moving inside. When I get inside I don't see anyone. I go upstairs and hear the shower where my fiance calls out to me. Room smells like air freshener and sex. Bed is not made. I'm no idiot. I knew what was up. A shower in the middle of the day. Come on!

What's even more telling is as I'm changing, fiance still in shower, I look out window and my neighbor's in his front driveway texting and looking up at our window. I can hear my girl's phone buzzing like crazy. The only crazy part is, aside the fact they think I'm dumb not to catch on, I'm aroused by this a little. Is this normal. He's been talkative lately as well which I guess turns them both on. She always ask me what the neighbor wanted.

TL:DR my 25yo fiance is no doubt having an affair with my 40 white neighbor but I'm not as mad about it as I should be. They are trying to cover their tracks but I've quickly figured it out. My fiance and I are black and my neighbor is like an older Goldberg the wrestler.
