I do not believe this one for a second, but i have low standards
Romance in a foreign country
I'd watch this romcom. Or maybe the trashy porn parody.
I'm rooting for you, Japanese photographer and his gayngster boyfriend
It'd make a pretty great BL manga, for sure

Wikipedia says yes. My brief look at the manga says yes.
And the guy who posted this to reddit used the user name of Eiji_kun, named after one of the main characters. So yes its Banana Fish. Thanks grape, i have something new to read.
That story sounded compelling enough for you to read it?

AITA for ditching my friend to meet his Japanese fling's parents without a translator
quote:I spent the last year studying in Japan and whilst not fluent, have picked up some Japanese. To say goodbye I'm touring Japan with a couple friends from home. Bob has pretty good vocab from anime, but Mike knows like 100 words. Neither of them know any grammar so I often need to translate for them.
Mike is an absolute hit with the ladies here. It's hard to convey just how attractive he's considered. One girl became particularly enamoured meeting him, and invited us (through Mike) to stay at her parents beach house. Mike loves the beach, and it's free accommodation, so I was warm to the idea, imagining she'd bring a couple friends and we'd have fun drinking together. I also assumed, perhaps unjustifiably, that her parents wouldn't actually be there.
I was wrong. I found out yesterday in the house would be her, her parents, and the three of us. I immediately lost all impetus to go. The third wheeling, the inevitable awkward interactions with her parents, and the fact that I didn't really fancy going to a beach. I thought this wouldn't be a big deal because we've already split up a couple times.
I tell Mike, but he said that I had to come or it would be too awkward. I told him that's his issue. He got a tad angry but it was dropped and we went out drinking.
The next morning, he woke us up and I reconfirm I'm not going. I told him if he was serious and made a heartfelt plea I'd go, but he just kept repeating the same reasons from earlier progressively getting angrier, before storming off to shower. This was perhaps unfair because he's terrible at communicating emotions, but the fact that he could only get angry firmed my resolve.
I talked with Bob, and said he was welcome to come with me, go with Mike, or solo adventure. He said he still wanted to go. Bob's a super laid back guy so it's hard to figure out what he's actually feeling at some times, and whether he actually wanted to go or felt pressured to, or if he though I was being a twat.
So, AITA? I did, pretty heavily imply I would go, and I have left my mates on a sticky wicket with three random Japanese people and minimal ways to communicate, however, I did make those implications under different circumstances, and frankly it's not my monkeys and it's not my circus. I don't feel obliged to translate for him so he can have less awkward time getting laid, especially at the expense of two days of the trip. Admittedly, however, awkward interactions are much more enjoyable in groups, so even if it wasn't as a translator, just my presence would probably have been a nice thing to have, and as a friend, maybe I should have stayed for his sake. I can definitely see why he thinks I'm being a bad friend ditching him last minute, but I also don't think it's ridiculous to not want to go given the situation.
As an aside, Mike is the twat who wouldn't share his umbrella from like two weeks ago, but I'm over that. Probably.
On on hand, Mike is clearly just wants to keep scoring with this girl, and you shouldn't be forced into awkward situations that you don't want to be in. On the other hand, maybe he just wanted a buddy to hang out with and you shouldn't make promi-
Wait, what? Mike is the umbrella fucker?
AITA for not letting a friend use my umbrella in a Japanese downpour?
quote:My friends and I went sightseeing, aware that the weather forecast was warning of heavy rain.
We’re from England, where the correct response to rain is to not acknowledge it, but things are a little different in Japan. It is impossible to walk outside without getting fully soaked. I warned my friends of this and stopped at a shop to buy an umbrella. They were reluctant to get one; either underestimating the rain or thinking they could get one later, if it actually rained.
I warned them multiple times that if it rains, I would not let them borrow my umbrella.
One friend had a raincoat so was mostly fine but the other did not. I reminded them that I would not share a few more times while we were walking.
Roughly an hour later, it started raining. Hard. It was unlikely to stop raining any time soon and we had a train to catch so we walked in the rain for half an hour to the train station. I stood by my word and refused to let them use my umbrella (which could easily fit 2 people under it). When we arrived, the friend without the raincoat was completely soaked, and the other was far from dry. Neither were particularly happy.
AITA for standing by my word and not saving my friend from the rain?
Yeah, automatic NTA here

AITA for wanting to charge my girlfriend rent?
quote:So here’s the skinny. I own my apartment out right. My gf moved in about a year ago and I’ve never asked her to pay rent. The main reason for this is 2 fold. First I was on a good salary (about £24K UK / $30K USA), not huge I know, but not having to pay rent this gave me a healthy disposable income. Second she was a student, so she had no money to start with. We’ve been together about 3 years, all of which she’s been a student. Our incomes have always been very different, mine being a lot larger than hers. From the start, I’ve always said I’m happy to pay for the pair of us, as if we want to go somewhere she can’t afford, but I can afford to pay for both, I’d rather we go and I foot the bill. I’ve been perfectly happy with this so far.
She has recently graduated and will be getting a salary of about £21K UK / $25K USA, at the same time, I’ve had a change in jobs and am now on £18K UK / $22K USA), so for the moment the shoes on the other foot regarding income. She has said she wanted to contribute to the house hold, so we are splitting all the bills down the middle and have agreed to open a joint account which we will both add money into for food & any house bits the house needs. This will benefit me as I have been covering most of this previously.
My problem comes from I think she should pay me some rent on top of splitting bills. Not a huge sum, I honestly would be happy with £100 a month. As it’s my apartment & she inhabits the space, I think this is fair. She doesn’t like this idea as I would be profiting from her.
AITA? Thoughts welcome.
Thanks.
EDIT: Big thank you to everyone who read and commented on this post. (Especially the person who said my gf should bite of my penis with sharp teeth!) After taking everything into account I hang my head in shame & accept I AM THE rear end in a top hat! I have been guilty of greed, but want to do right thing. Thanks reddit for helping guide my moral compass. I will not be asking for rent!

I [25F] am an open heroin/opioid addict and a guy [36M] pressured me into a relationship. I robbed him and now he's mad
quote:
As the title says, I am an open drug addict. Everyone and their grandma knows I do drugs. A friend's friend/coworker thought I was pretty and kept trying to get with me. I told him I did not want a boyfriend. A drug buddy, sure. A boyfriend, no. I am not relationship material. But he wouldn't take no for an answer. He kept asking me out on dates and bought me gifts. The more valuable gifts I traded for drugs. One time I was going through a bad withdrawal when he asked me out. I said yes this time thinking I could get a good meal and possibly bum some money off him. We had dinner and a movie and crashed at his place. He managed to rope me in from there. At first he would give me money. Plenty of it. Then it dropped down to like $5 every week. Eventually he stopped giving me money at all.
One month I was dry. My hustle wasn't working and I needed drugs real bad. I was at his house and he has an expensive computer setup. Well, I boxed that poo poo up and sold it to get my fix. He called me later and asking where I was and why his computer was missing. I told him I took it so I could get drugs. He got pissed and cursed me out so I hung out. He called again the next day and asked if I could come over so we could talk. I went over and he was calm and said he had no idea I was still on drugs (what). He forgave me for stealing his computer and asked if I could get it back. I told him that was impossible. He offered to pay for me to go to rehab. I declined. That's when he did a 180 and called me all kinds of names and said he spent years working on that computer and everyone at work knows so now he's a laughingstock. I apologized but pointed out that he knew I was a drug addict when he got with me.
He threatened to sue me (yeah, right, good luck) and is stalking me. He's cruising around my hangouts so I've been laying low at a friend's house. He has been blowing up my phone too. I blocked his number but he gets new ones. I don't know what to do. His crazy rear end won't leave me alone
LOL @ this whole thing
edit: I'm imagining the guy's post: "She knew I was a crazy stalker-prone white knight with a savior complex. I openly get with women with hideous personality and mental health issues because only I can save them. Now she's complaining that I'm blowing up her phone with a series of burner numbers after I tried to get her into rehab and she bailed"

Son's Panty Fetish
quote:I'm sorry about the length, but this is a serious problem and I need all the help I can get, that's why it's so detailed. I don't even know what to think. Thanks....
A few months ago, I showed up to my 24 year old son's apartment. He wasn't expecting me. I opened the door to a big suitcase filled with bras, thongs, and panties. There were even pantyliners and maxi pads (new) there (why!?). They were different styles, sizes, and have all been worn. He told me he stole them from the apartment's laundry room. I bagged them up, took them home, and threw them out. I didn't count, but there had to be around 100 pairs. I was shocked. And I embarrassed him because I didn't know how to react.
Not much else was said. I asked my sister, and she told me about "Panty Raids" and that he probably masturbated in them. He also hasn't had a girlfriend since High School, and that only lasted 1-2 months.
However, since then he's been living at home and I have caught him more than a dozen times, red handed, rifling through my underwear draw. He denied it every time, even though HE KNOWS I SAW HIM. I’ve also been noticing some of my kotex pads missing, too.
He takes from his younger sister's, 22 years old, too. We've both been noticing missing panties for well over 6 or 7 years now but never thought too much about it until now. My daughter over the last 2 years now takes ALL of her underwear back to graduate school with her, and now I see why
.
I guess the most relieving bit is that it always seems to be clean panties he takes. Thank god for that, I guess.
I think he's been doing this since he was a young teen!
I don't care that he has a panty fetish. What I do care is that he stole hundreds of pairs from an apartment laundry facility, and is going through mine and his sisters' undies.
How would you have reacted initially? How would you react if you saw your teen or adult son going through YOUR underwear? What do I do now?! How can I get him to leave both mine and my daughter’s underwear alone!? Should I be concerned?
quote:I have worn both my sisters and my moms panties for years, it's not as bad as you all make it sound and its way more common than you think. I still have panties from both of them and still wear them, it's more the naughtiness of the act than sexually wanting the owner.
quote:It is abnormal but it isn't their fault. I don't know how open you are to this but it's true. They have a demonic spirit or fallen angel of lust, perversion, or fetish that has entered them some how through some legal ground or open doorway in their life and they need deliverance. Jesus Christ is the only one who can heal your son and you need to seek out a deliverance minister. Worldly therapy does nothing it's useless fruitless garbage that only makes people worse because something physical can't solve something spiritual. Peace and blessings
quote:Everyone is so uptight and politically correct these days. Some folks get offended by everything. Stop judging the poor kid. He's just having a little fun. Live and let live.

AITA for thinking cum rags belong in the trash?
...Weve had a minor disagreement as to what constitutes as recyclable( i vote clean boxes, cans, water bottles, and glass. She insists anything thats biodegradable- pizza boxes, used tim hortons cups, ect) ....
So that's actually a big deal. Dirty recycling is why china won't take out garbage anymore because it costs too much to clean (so most of your recycling is getting landfilled or stored right now). It's not economically viable to clean oily greasy food waste off of otherwise recycle things and you can ruin an entire batch with it.
Comingled recycling sounds like a great idea for the end user, but it just doesn't work right now.

Yeah apparently recycling is a net negative for the environment right now (in the USA at least) unless it's metal because the environmental cost of the recycling exceeds the benefits.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/amywestervelt/2012/04/25/can-recycling-be-bad-for-the-environment/#5122a7b53bec
Just to post one example paragraph from this article:
quote:
Emissions are another sticky subject for recycling. In the case of some materials--aluminum corrugated cardboard, newspaper, dimensional lumber, and medium-density fiberboard--the net greenhouse gas emissions reductions enabled by recycling are actually greater than they would be if the waste source was simply reduced, according to the EPA. For others--glass, plastic--while in some cases the energy required to recycle versus making virgin material is lower, there are concerns about the particulates emitted by recycling factories. In recent studies of air quality in Oakland, recycling centers were, perhaps surprisingly, included amongst the city's polluters.

How do my sister and I (23/22F) tell our older sister (36F) that her lost "$20k" engagement ring is actually fake?
quote:
Hello, /r/relationships, I come here today as a woman in need. It's a long read, but it's all kind of important? I think, at least.
As explained by the title, my sister and I are stuck between a rock and a hard place. So a few months ago, our 36F sister, Denise, got engaged to 28M, Carl. They had broken up once before, and were overall together for about 3 years before getting engaged. We were all incredibly happy for her obviously since she's our sister and we want her to be happy, even if we have some reservations about the guy its with (this will come into play later). Carl even moved into our family home in the downstairs apartment with Denise and her kids. Denise was really excited to start planning the wedding and all 3 of us siblings try to help as much as we can. She will be the first of all 4 siblings (all of us are women) to get married, a fact which she takes a lot of pride in and almost seems to think we are jealous of for some reason. Now onto the meat of the issue.
So my 23F sister, Krista, is really into jewelry and has several synthetic rings of her own. She spends a lot of her time browsing jewelry forums and sites and is the one we all come to for jewelry advice. Soon after Carl gave Denise her engagement ring, Denise went to Krista so she could 'appraise' it. It was a really, tbh, tacky gaudy ring with giant stones. I'm not much of a jewelry person but even I knew that wasn't really Denise's style. Denise had talked to Carl about what kind of ring she wanted but he apparently disregarded that and got her a huge elaborate, and most importantly, 'expensive' ring. I suppose Denise had her suspicions at first because she earnestly asked Krista if it was fake. Denise had been asking Carl if she should get it insured, since she assumed it was expensive, and he kept reassuring her it didn't need to be insured. But he also insisted that it was indeed a pricey ring, in fact, he says he's STILL paying it off and therefore can't pitch in any money towards any other part of the wedding. Therefore all other wedding costs have fallen to Denise, who is already feeling the strain financially.
Krista took one look at it and knew it was synthetic, aka fake. According to her it's because "the inside of the ring is stamped with CZ for cubic zirconia and .925 for sterling silver". Anyway, Krista and Carl had a huge fight a few months ago, and Denise threw Krista under the bus in defense of Carl and basically accused her of being jealous because Denise was getting married and Krista was single. So Krista obviously doesn't like Carl, even before this whole mess she did not like him and thought he was an rear end, so she knew Denise would automatically be on the defensive if she outright declared it fake then and there. Instead, Krista told Denise to go get it appraised, which she would have to do anyway to get insured, knowing that any official jeweler would be able to immediately tell the ring was a fake. Krista has since told me that the ring cannot have cost more than $200 at MOST. Denise has been led to believe that this ring cost at LEAST $20k.
Of course, Denise never went to get it appraised or we wouldn't be having this issue right now. Instead, she continued to blindly believe in Carl. Which of course, in and of itself isn't a bad thing, except we are all but certain he is lying about this. Since the whole 'appraisal', we have kind of been letting sleeping dogs lie. Denise has continued to confide in us, particularly to Krista, about various smaller issues with Carl, however she has remained entirely insistent on the wedding. Krista and I have been debating how to tell Denise for a while now, especially since as a result of the 'expensive' ring Carl is letting Denise pay entirely for the wedding dress and the venue and everything else. But recently, something has pushed us over the edge in regards to the ring situation.
At a work function a few days ago (Denise and Carl work at the same company, which is also how they met), Denise had been swimming in a giant man-made pond thing, and lost her ring. Carl's reaction was to laugh and joke about how she only lasted 8 months with the ring. Denise's reaction, in contrast, has been to stop eating, stop sleeping, and just completely break down about losing what she believes to be an extremely expensive ring that her fiance is still paying off. She has called into work because she has been having stomach cramping so bad it keeps her up all night and nearly sent her to the ER room. Krista decided to tell our mom about the ring being fake, and our mom is conflicted on whether or not to tell Denise. Krista and I have decided we want to tell her, but we don't know how to at this point. We know Denise, and we know she will do or say anything to defend her fiance and their relationship. She really wants to go through with this wedding, and we are just worried he may lie about other even more important things in the future when their lives are even more intertwined. We don't want our relationship with her to sour for no good reason, since we are 95% sure that she will go through with the wedding even after we tell her. The wedding date is October, which is obviously very soon, and Denise has poured a lot of time and money and heart into this. Please give us advice on how to tell her, or if we even really should?
TL;DR
Oldest sister gets engaged, the ring is obviously fake but her fiance refuses to admit it, oldest sister has lost the ring and is having a mental and physical breakdown and her fiance STILL won't admit that the ring cost, at most, $200. How do we tell her that her fiance is lying to her about the ring?
That's so Carl

Q: How do you spell 'trouble'?
A:
Friend [16F] lied about her age to me [27M] in platonic friendship; can we even be friends?
quote:
I'm a music teacher at a local shop and eight months ago Vanessa (name changed) came into the shop looking to pick up guitar. It's me and another instructor there but I was assigned to Vanessa because I'm more familiar with nylon string (what she wanted to learn). I was under the impression by her own admission that Vanessa was 20, not that it even really mattered.
We became platonic friends over the span of a couple of months while we had our lessons together. Eventually it got to hanging out outside of the teaching environment but always music was involved. She invited me to see so and so concert or to play guitar at a local park, things like that. Then we went for lunches, coffee, things like that. It was always strictly platonic, I had and still have precisely zero romantic ideas with Vanessa. 99% of the time, our hangouts were initiated by Vanessa.
It came to light a week ago she was not 20 as she claimed, she was 16. Her mother came into the shop to buy something for her brother or something like that and I told her Vanessa is a great student, she shows a lot of promise, it's just a shame she couldn't start an instrument in her early teens because like learning a new language, the younger the better. She told me she was 16. She also told me that she's glad we've been hanging out a lot because it's been boosting her self confidence and socialization skills.
I was floored, not because age really mattered, we weren't romantically involved, but I feel like I'm in a Nabokov situation now. This is a young woman who maybe probably shouldn't be friends with old(er) men. I don't know what Vanessa thinks, why she even wants to be friends with me because she knows my age and kept along with the lie for so long. Part of me thinks maybe Vanessa has less than innocent intentions. I don't really want to be in a situation where I put myself at risk. Not to mention my career, my friends and family, etc.
The thing is, I do consider Vanessa a good friend and I don't know what to do. We've bonded, platonically, over a love of music, and honestly, she is a great musician-in-training. I just don't know what to make of this situation. I wouldn't dare talk to my coworkers or her mother or any of my family or friends because I don't want to be labeled something based on an impression.

They shouldn't tell her, she's way too invested and as a con man, he has his hooks in her for sure. It's unfortunate, but she won't be open to evaluating this for a long time.
In any case, the fact that she refused to insure a supposedly $20k ring means that she knows deep down that it's fake. That again signals how hard it will be to change her mind about this guy.
The most interesting part is that he took an enormous gamble on such a stupid, gaudy ring. It reminds me of the Nigerian prince scams where they intentionally make it unbelievably shoddy in order to lure in the best marks. This guy is either a genius or a loving idiot, but the fact that it worked, and he parlayed it into Denise paying for the entire wedding, means he's probably pretty sharp. That's an all-in move, and now he knows that she's the perfect target.

AITA for telling a woman she looked like a pint of melted rocky road ice cream
quote:
So there I was, pulling in to a Kroger parking lot. There was a space open near the front doors. There was a car about a space too far in the parking isle stopped but too close to the cars to back in to the open space. I thought she was waiting to pick someone up or maybe waiting for some pedestrians to pass. I pull in to the open spot.
Once I do so, the "lady" slams her car into reverse and quickly pulls into a space two back. She gets out of the car runs up and yells "Glad you found your parking space." Being the social genius that I am, I realize that she must have been waiting for some reason for the space she passed and I must have taken it. I said, "I am sorry I didn't realize you were waiting for that space. I did not see the backing up lights." She immediately flips me the bird over her head. I kept walking toward the door giving her plenty of space.
She then turns around and yells "your pants are too long for your legs." I yelled back, "I am sorry I do not take fashion advice from people that look like a pint of melted rocky road ice cream." She turned red, didn't say anything else, and walked in to the store.
I have no idea where my remark came from but it shut her up and she left me alone. Am I the rear end in a top hat?

Friend [16F] lied about her age to me [27M] in platonic friendship; can we even be friends?
Why doesn't he just go back to strictly lessons at the shop and not meet outside of that anymore? Continuing to go to concerts and coffee after finding out they are 16 is pretty whack but a student/teacher situation isn't weird.
Although I'm accepting the most innocent interpretation of the post, which I guess should know by now isn't going to be legit.

My (22f) fiance (25m) want his father to check my hymen tomorrow night before I get married.
quote:My fiance proposed to me about 8 months ago. We decided on having a relatively small wedding which is in two days. Everything was going great. He seems absolutely perfect and we are very much in love.
I am a virgin and so is he, he wanted to save it for marriage and I wasn't fussed so I agreed to saving it. He has told me earlier that in his family the father checks the virginity of the bride the night before the wedding. I laughed this off as it seriously sounds like a massive joke. No turns out he was dead serious. He wants me, the night before to open my legs up in a small ceremony type thing so his dad can check me while him, his brothers and uncle can watch so that they know I am still 'pure'.
I told him fat chance I am going to do that and he was begging to me to go through with it and how important it is for him. He said he knew it was slightly embarrassing for me but his mom did and it will prove how much I love him and that I have nothing to hide anyway as I am still a virgin. I left and he was crying, it was very dramatic tbh.
I want to call off the whole wedding because of this and never talk to him again. But at the same time its only one thing and other then that we are genuinely perfect for each other and I dont want to spend my life with anyone else and it is very important to him and his family.
What the frick frack do I do. I am currently at my friends house and I might stay here for the night. tomorrow would be our last day as an unmarried couple and I am straight up panicking.

This is one of those things where you have an equal chance of either the following being true
- Oh his family are recent immigrants and still deeply religious and have regressive ideas about marriage and gender
- His family are Southern US Baptists/Mormons/Evangelicals and go to a church that seats 10k people

Is it wrong to make a dad joke when inspecting my daughter-in-law's hymen, something like, "uh-oh, seems like we've reached an impasse"
