That just makes me sad because she must have a learning disability or something and the dude made fun of her :/

I'm going to take a wild guess here and suggest that the girl taking ONE class a semester is probably already pretty torn up about it.

The kid is totally going to out them on the fact that they don't go to church but yeah why not. Just go ahead and blow it up now. Unless the mother is loaded and willing to cut them out of the will it's not like they have anything to lose from cutting her out.

She could just be a trustafarian rear end in a top hat? I'm pretty sure I dated the male version of her for awhile. Last I heard his parents had bought him a second house in portland while he made attempt #3 at community college. They had to get the second house you see because the first one wasn't in a cool enough location.

I think it's a maturity thing, but it's sometimes stunning to me how many people on the internet think they can logic their way out of situations driven by emotion. As though the provenance of the atheism really is going to make a MIL like a DIL any more. Even non-crazy mothers tend to dislike the women their sons marry, even if they don't think they'll burn in hell or whatever.

Having said that, the husband is being a wimp for not standing up to mommy.

The Guardian posted:

My partner and I have been very much in love for about seven years. Early on, she told me about a man she had met briefly, years earlier, to whom she felt a sexual attraction unlike anything she had experienced before. Nothing happened, so it stayed an unexplored fantasy.

A year ago they met again by chance, and the chemistry was (she explained) instantly electric. We had a frank discussion about her desire for him, which resulted in her taking him to bed one afternoon for what she described as the best orgasm she had ever experienced. This was followed by weekly lunchtime sex (at my apartment in London).

Soon afterwards, my partner and I decided to live together, and her lover began to visit our place once or twice a week. The challenge, for me, was to recognise that the chemistry she had with him was no threat to her love for me. I could not ask her to forgo such enjoyment (he is 20 years younger than me, 15 years younger than her, so there is a huge difference in the pleasure she gets from each of us). I recognised that the problem was mine, not hers.

We interact comfortably and they feel unselfconscious about showing their mutual attraction in my presence. I enjoy seeing their foreplay or hearing them having noisy sex in the spare room – not as a matter of eroticism, simply two people having a good time.

She would not want me to have the same, and so I remain happily monogamous. Through honesty, openness and trust, we have found the formula for a perfect model relationship.

I am Jewish, and while we don't believe in generally imposing our dietary restrictions on non-members, we feel differently about them bringing food into our homes. I have Sikh family members who feel the same way. I would never bring alcohol to my Sikh family members' homes. If I had it in my car or something, I would not ask them to store it in the fridge for me.

I [19F] was just informed of my boyfriend's [19M] multiple personalities. Please help. [new]
submitted an hour ago by Biased24

quote:

We've had our theories about him potentially having more than one self but he just confirmed it with me and I don't know what to do. They say they basically share the body, and that there is at Least 3 that are talkative but most likely more that they can't communicate with or just don't want to. We have my boyfriend, a younger version of himself that hates me because I hate kids and then what appears to be an off shoot of himself or someone completely different that's been around for at least a few years.

My boyfriend is the love of my life. I've been with him through more than you Can imagine. Homelessness, being disowned, multiple hospital visits and inpatients.

And I can go through a lot just for us. Rehab every 4 or so days for his chronic pain condition. Sure thing I don't mind if I have to push him on a bike to get there.

But with this. I just don't know. I've spoken to both I'm and what seems like the other dominate personality who picked out the name echidna because I asked him to find the date of a five cent australian coin and he now cherishes it as his most prized possession. Me and my boyfriend pegged his age at between 13-16. You know fortnight, billie Ellish, dabbing And being mute.

I've told them all if it isn't my boyfriend I don't want a sexual or romantic relationship and they can have the bed whole my boyfriend isn't piloting.

They seem to get headaches when they switch, they somewhat share memories. One likes to use his cane and the other hates it.

I feel so alone. Even with my boyfriend I feel like I'm being watched by the others. I hate it. I don't feel like I have privacy in my home. When it's echidna I feel sick. I feel unsafe because someone I don't know or want in my house is sitting next to me. And I don't know what to do. As I've said I'd give anything for my boyfriend and he'd do the same but this might just be too much for me to handle.

I know having multiple personalities isn't inherently a bad thing nor does it make him dangerous. But I just get those feelings. It's so weird.

I want help. I just feel like my world has flipped.

tl;dr: turns out boyfriend has multiple personalities. I don't know if I can deal with it.

AITA for letting a kid (5) ruin a white carpet and not helping clean up?

quote:

I'm a handyman. My sister wanted her son's bedroom repainted, and a border put up. The room isn't very big and they picked out a self adhesive border. The whole thing wouldn't take more than one afternoon, so I said if she gets the supplies then I'll do the whole thing for free. I did say that I only had 4 hours at most, as I had another client afterwards.

I went over yesterday to paint it. It was a bright red matte paint. The hallway has a white carpet. My sister owns the flat they live in, so she paid to have the carpet put in when they moved in 6 months ago.

I finished the painting and the paint was drying, and then I went about attaching the border to the wall, which required both hands so it would sit flat. While I was doing this Nephew came in. My sister was on the other side of the flat so I yelled out to her.

Me: Nephew's in here! Get him out before he touches the paint.

Sister: Just tell him to leave!

Me: I have both hands occupied, you need to come get him.

Sister: He won't do anything.

Me: Fine. (I turned back to nephew, who was very close to where I'd left the paint trays) Be careful, you're about to step in the paint.

Nephew grinned at me and immediately jumps into the tray of paint, laughing.

I winced and told him to stay where he was, which was on the protective sheet I'd put down.

Me (to Sister): Nephew just stepped in paint! Come get him before he ruins the carpet!

Sister: I'll bring something to rinse him off, tell him to stay there.

Me: Stay there. I'm serious.

Nephew immediately takes off running, out the door and onto the white carpet. I couldn't follow him without messing up the border, so I just called out for my sister to stop him. My sister used her scary mum voice to stop Nephew in his tracks, but he'd already put down a dozen prints.

I finished up the border and left the room within a few minutes of hearing my sister stop Nephew, and saw her on the floor applying carpet spray. I went out to my van, put my stuff away, and grabbed a slightly stronger cleaner I kept in case of emergencies, and brought it back inside and told her to use this instead, then I started to leave.

Sister: Where are you going? I need help cleaning this up.

Me: I have a client. Use the stuff I gave you. It'll work wonders.

And then I left for my actual paying client. She texted me this morning saying "your spray didn't do poo poo, there's giant pink spots everywhere. I can't believe you didn't even try to stop him or help me, I'm going to have to get a new carpet now."

She reached out to my parents, telling them what happened and asking for help paying for a proper cleaner to come in or to replace that patch of carpet. They messaged me telling me that as this was my fault, I should contribute. Unclear if my sister asked them to or not.

AITA for 1) not stopping my nephew and 2) not being willing to pay to fix it?
