I mean, I know such people exist, because I've been with them, but it just sounds completely unbelievable. Either that person is stupid/naive or a cheater, but in any case, you can't get out fast enough.

Alan Smithee posted:I had a lady friend lose a relationship over a shared couch nap that her bf walked in on. I honestly do believe her knowing the kind of person she was, even if that looked sketchy for him. If he didn't know she was like that though I don't know what to tell them Unless it was a sectional, a couch nap sounds like it would have to be pretty intimate just from the lack of space. A bed at least you can get some separation on, but if she was straight up spooning with someone on a couch....

Beachcomber posted:PETA does, in fact, want to make it illegal to own any kind of animal.. Yes, I know. That's why I specified ASPCA and not PETA. I've made that very statement to her multiple times. She doesn't think its just PETA. The ASPCA, all humane societies, pretty much any shelter or rescue is just a front to end pet ownership. She was LIVID when she found out that I voted in favor of ending greyhound racing in Florida. Apparently its part of a plot to wipe out the breed and make breeding dogs illegal. She opposes legislation that makes it illegal to leave your dog in the car or leaving them out in the snow all day because that's the first step to making it illegal to have a dog in your house. I don't know why she's like this. : With any other topic she is perfectly skeptical and rational and researches her opinions, etc. All I can guess is dachshund brainworms. Anyway, content! I (26M) found out my fiance (27F) possibly gave a stripper a handjob at her bachelorette party quote:I will refer to my fiance as Jane. One of the bridesmaids husbands contacted me and told me he had seen something that made him suspect Jane had been sexual with a stripper at her bachelorette party. ANY sex or romantic kissing outside that relationship was a complete deal breaker that was established when the relationship had begun. When I asked him for details, he indicated a handjob in a roundabout way. When I asked if he could be mistaken or misinterpreting a text or overheard conversation, he kept insisting he was 100% sure. I personally know the bridesmaid, I think she was feeling guilty and she was using her husband as some sort of a proxy informant to keep my girlfriend from coming after her when I confronted her.

Wtf greyhound racing is/was loving cruel as all hell and they usually kill the dogs once they age out of racing, only a fraction of retired dogs actually get adopted through the rescue organizations if that's her excuse. Seriously that kind of delusion is so off the wall bizarre that it should raise lifelong concerns about her day to day judgement and critical thinking capabilities. She ever bring up lucrative business deals with wealthy Nigerians or ask about your thoughts on getting into pyramid scams like essential oils or wax melts?

Never - she's even stopped a few older relatives from falling for those types of scams. She's a pretty young Boomer and in everything else she's reasonable, demands evidence, has common sense. Its just when dogs are involved she becomes an irrational, paranoid conspiracy theorist. If it was just gullibility or a general slide into dementia it'd be one thing (and I'm fairly confident I'd catch that, seeing as I'm currently doing research in dementia with my adviser). This compartmentalized nonsense is what's so bizarre and infuriating, I'm not used to having to talk HER down from bullshit. Usually we make fun of it together. My fiancé treats me like his personal servant/maid ever since we got engaged. I’m considering calling it quits. quote:My boyfriend (now fiancé) used to be amazing. Besides small things like who takes out the trash tonight and what we should watch on Netflix that evening, we barely fought and he always treated me with respect (and I did the same to him). He proposed about a month ago and I was over the moon. For the moment we are planning a wedding in May 2021. He has made it clear what his expectations for you are and that he isn't willing to change them. He's banking on your desire to not be single to outweigh your desire to be more than a fuckmaid.

This is why you date someone long enough that they let down their guard and start showing their real selves. Because, wow, is that guy a piece of poo poo and she should consider that a bullet dodged.

In the reddit thread, she says they've been together for about 3 years and someone pointed out that's about the max length of time an abuser can hide their nature. Also, she revealed he's in STEM and she's in finance. So I'd guess she makes a lot more than he does and this is his broke brained way of asserting his dominance.

Ghost Leviathan posted:3 years seems like quite a while. Any particular reasoning behind that? In the US at least, 3 years tends to be the point when folks get engaged/married, so its harder for the victim to extricate themselves. There's more social and financial pressure on top of sunk cost fallacy. Its also around the time people move in together, and its a lot harder to keep up the facade of normalcy 24/7 compared to just during date nights.

But yeah, as mentioned, that's typically the point where people in relationships end up having their lives intertwined to the point where you're living together and/or have made a commitment like engagement or marriage.

AITA For Not Hiring A Girl Who Rejected Me at My Start-Up? quote:I'm M23, and she's f23. I founded a startup with one of my buddies during our first year of uni and since then we've both worked extremely hard and have grown a lot. Secured a large Series A funding round that let us to rent out better office space downtown and expand our hiring. Because of this we put up a fair amount of job postings up and a girl who I was friends with in my 2nd/3rd year of uni applied and our HR manager brought them in for a preliminary interview. Now I was basically in love with her during this time of being friends with her about 2 yrs ago and confessed my love and she turned me down and I nice guy'd it, cried a lot etc etc and was sad for a while. I usually sit in on all the interviews, first and 2nd round ones, but for her first round one I was in the US meeting with investors so I missed her interview. When I got back, the HR manager passed along her resume to me and interview notes and right when I saw her name and everything I knew it was the girl that broke my heart. I told the HR manager that I already had a person in mind for the job because I didn't want to give the job to her. And that to let her know she wouldn't be moving forward in the process, the HR girl didn't care and said OK. I just thought also it would be weird being her boss, but I guess she didn't think so because she 100% knows I started this business. The smug techbro just oozes from this

Megillah Gorilla posted:Though, given she started saying "Are you going to break up with me?" she may already wanted to break up, but didn't want to be the one to pull the trigger. So just acted as horrible as she could while enjoying an all expenses paid vacation. May or may not have WANTED to break up, but definitely was feeling insecure about the relationship. A lot of her behavior reads as her trying to either "test" his feelings (and he didn't react the way she was hoping) or get the relationship failure over with because she was 100% certain that the other shoe would drop sooner or later. Either way, that relationship is almost certainly toast, and there's no reason to stick with someone acting like that unless you have some other reason to be SUPER committed to them (and they show a real willingness to change). It's almost impossible for a relationship to survive that level of trust breach.

Mr. Lobe posted:I don't understand how someone could write something like that and have doubts as to whether they made the right move It should be glaringly obvious this poor dude has really low self esteem. It's actually pretty positive that he did break it off, as normally someone like this is who abusive people manage to keep around. Entorwellian posted:Nah just moreso self-esteem issues. ADHD people have more social negative experiences and relationship failures with their condition. Yeah it's an easily co-morbid issue. Basically ADHD is like going through life as a normal person in most every respect except your constantly making tiny mistakes among other things. And you can grow up not trusting yourself and feeling like a fundamental gently caress up. It can be devastating on the self-esteem.

Richie (not their real name) is fiancé to a very close cousin of mine. In the last year and a half he lost both of his legs due to neglect on his part. (This is all I can say without being too specific.) I love my cousin dearly, she is a very sweet, and smart girl who deserves the world. I have spent every thanksgiving with my cousin as far as I can remember and when she started dating Richie I of course wanted to keep the tradition.
