You'd be surprised. Like the only redeeming feature of twitter is getting to see all the people who are paid way too much to have opinions have to deal with the hoi polloi being able and all to willing to tell them they're dumb pieces of poo poo, and the resulting meltdowns.

Here's a classic Dan Savage letter:

quote:

I have an awesome relationship with an awesome guy. He loves me and takes care of me. I'm GGG and he's vanilla. I only draw the line at poop, animals, and children. But he's never asked me for anything other than vanilla sex. Which is why I don't know what to do. I went downstairs late the other night, and he was sitting on the couch masturbating while stroking the cat, which was sitting on his chest. The cat was sitting ON him, Dan, WHILE he was yanking himself. I don't know if he saw me. I went right back upstairs and went to bed. In the morning, he acted like nothing happened. Now I don't know what to do. Confront him? Get him help? Get rid of the cat?

BF with a fetish or pimp in the making?


quote:

My BF gets aroused by the idea of sexually sharing me with others. Getting gang banged by strangers, etc. It’s the only thing he can get off to. But his fantasy has evolved over the past year. He thinks I’m “the hottest girl he’s ever been with” and says he’s just in awe over my looks, which is why he sends private photos of me to his friends without my permission. I’ve made it clear that is not something I find acceptable.

One night, it got so out of hand that he sent a bare photo (face included) to several friends at a time on Snapchat with a message asking something along the lines of “wanna come f*ck her?” I caught him. He apologized to me and his friends. I deleted every photo he had of me from his phone, iPad, etc. and I thought we were done with the problem.

Nope.

That was May/June.

In October, I found a photo of myself on the iPad. This wasn’t from snooping- I had asked for a specific photo from a trip we went on and he told me I could use the iPad to retrieve it from his photo album while he played on his phone. Long story short, he had a photo (or two, can’t remember) hidden. I confronted him. He tried to deny it. Made up some story. Whatever. I took partial blame for not making sure I deleted everything as well as I thought I had. Gave him another chance.

It’s now December. He came home from his office Xmas party drunk and high. *Note: he doesn’t do this sober. It’s only a drunk thing. So he came home. Ate dinner. Said he wanted to go to bed yet still seemed like he had a lot of energy so I said okay but asked if we could have sex before that. We have very different sex drives. Mine is extremely high. I want it constantly. And he’s the opposite, satisfied with twice a week. So I didn’t take his rejection as anything particularly weird because he’s not very sexual to begin with and to be fair he had been out drinking all night. BUT there was this nagging feeling that he wasn’t being completely truthful. He went to bed with the bedroom door open, which I honestly left open because I didn’t trust him. So he was in bed. I was cleaning the kitchen, within full view of him. 20 minutes goes by and he yells for me to close the door because “the light was bothering him”. Spidey senses tingle. But I pushed those feelings away and closed the door, telling myself I was overreacting. My internal voice is now yelling HE’S DOING IT AGAIN. Again, I tell myself I’m being dramatic because I’m over sensitive after past mistakes. 3 minutes go by and the next thing I knew I was climbing into bed with him, pretending I didn’t suspect him. He was fake sleeping so I laid there quietly to let him believe I was dozing off. He kept inching closer and closer to his phone everrrr so slightly, making sure not to rock the bed too much. While I laid there, I could feel his energy. I could feel his frustration that I was in the room and picked up on his restlessness as he waited for me to fully fall asleep. He turned on his side to face his phone and continue fake sleeping. The draft from the bedroom fan was about to blow the door closed so I got up in an effort to close it more gently. Then I got an idea. While he was facing away from the door I quickly got down on the floor and didn’t make a noise. I knew he was going to walk right into the set up. In the pitch black room, he counted to what seemed like 30 seconds, making sure I wasn’t in the room. After the 30 seconds, he rolled over to check my side of the bed and noticed I wasn’t there. And with that, he sudddddenly was fully awake and alert. Unlocked his phone and opened it to Snapchat. It was alllllllll going down. Once he got settled, I popped up like, “hey babe! You okay? Why aren’t you sleeping?” ...knowing drat well what he was up to. He started the fake sleep bullshit again and put on the worst acting I’ve ever seen. Through his “sleepy” mumbles, he accused me of “waking him” when I slammed the door. I can feel his fear growing. I asked if he was being a good boy, which is our code language for not being the drunk pervert douche version. He said he was behaving (but always seems to think he can outsmart me and tried to kiss me). I asked him to show me his phone. He tapped it to illuminate the phone and show me the locked screen with a few notifications. Like, cool, but HA NO. I clarified I wanted it unlocked. He did it, but began pulling the phone away as he did. Meanwhile, I’m thinking game on. I grabbed the phone and begin scrolling- he starts panicking IMMEDIATELY. I get to Snapchat- there’s a new conversation with one of his friends. I couldn’t see what the first message was, but I could read the response and it confirmed everything I already knew. He sent a photo of me.

He starts babbling. Whatever. Finally starts offering an actual explanation. He says he can’t believe how sexy I am and wants to show me off. Also tells me I should think of it as a compliment. And blahblahblah. We end up having a discussion until 3ish in the morning about his behavior. And call me stupid, but I honestly believed we were on the same page afterwards. He agreed to schedule an appointment with his therapist and apologize to his friend.

Fast forward to this morning. Things clearly aren’t okay- more specifically I’mmmmm not okay and acting very distant. All while he’s trying his best to be nice. During the day, he did reach out to his therapist and friend. So I’m thinking this is good- we’re making progress. He really heard me last night.

SURPRISE! Less than 12 hours later and here we are... him with his usual attitude, not making eye contact when we speak, brushing me off, being dismissive, etc. and me with my are you f*cking kidding me attitude. He claims his hangover is so bad that he’s incapable of being nice and doesn’t want to have to listen to me. Is calling me annoying. Yada yada yada. Meanwhile he had enough energy to wake up at 8am to meet a friend almost an hour away for breakfast, after going to sleep at 4am. So... unless you’re waking up in Vegas with a face tattoo and a tooth knocked out while your friend is walking around with a baby strapped to him, I don’t want to hear about your hangover. (This is the type of guy who will whine about everything, so its safe to say my patience is already low).

I’d also like to point out that I haven’t raised my voice or flipped out ONCE during all of this. I stayed completely calm to try my best at having an actual conversation rather than a screaming match. In my opinion, I’ve been far nicer than I needed to be. Since he was unwilling to speak to me with his man-cold equivalent of a hangover, I asked that he read an article on how to be more respectful towards your partner. I had previously read it and found it to be very insightful- so much so that I ended up reevaluating a lot of my own behavior and reflecting on it. Yet he couldn’t be bothered. And told me he wouldn’t read it.

... I know how I generally feel about all of this, but I wanted some other opinions. Is this not as big of a deal that I think it is? Is this something guys often do? Am I expecting too much while he’s hungover? Is there any part of this I could have handled better? If yes, elaborate, please.

Also please don’t respond with “stop taking photos”. I already stopped. Months ago. The issue is he squirrels them away and lies like a rug.

** we’re a M/F couple, both 26, and have been together for almost 3 years.

But wait, there's more!

Why is my boyfriend (M26) afraid of his own sperm?

quote:

Boyfriend expects me to willingly swallow his cum like it’s nothing, but can’t handle it touching his skin and freaks out/gets mad if it comes into contact with him. HIS. OWN. CUM.

He frantically runs for the bathroom and nearest paper towel. And he spastically wipes it off.

If he fingers me, the fingers that were inside me and got wet are now in need of a wiping or he just don’t use those fingers during foreplay or sex until his hand is clean.

His cum is okay for me, but not good enough for him?

Wtf is this about?

TL;DR Boyfriend grossed out by his own sperm, but expects me to deal with it.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

The future epic divorce guy implies in his edit that bread winning is the only function he thinks he needs to do so of course he says how much he makes. He thinks that earns him family man points from which to argue his position that his daughter should defer to whatever asinine opinion he has.

Normally people going on and on about poo poo it just part of the deal.

But ya'll are going on and on about some poo poo that wasn't the topic of the post. I feel like people have missed the fact that he was never asking if he was the rear end in a top hat for walking out on the family and, consequently, barely included any details at all about it. Arguing at length over this is supremely stupid because the dude intentionally didn't give really any details about it because it wasn't the topic of his post. He wanted to know if he was the rear end in a top hat for revealing the truth about his "daughter's" parentage. He was not asking for opinions on him walking out, so it was mentioned briefly with only the barest detail. We know only the absolute minimum about the circumstances, so arguing in circles about this is dumb as hell.

AITA for spending more money on my car than on my girl’s engagement ring?

So I got down on one knee and popped the question to my girlfriend. Thought I was doing it right. I open the ring box and her face drops. She says yes thankfully since we are surrounded by our family and friends. And then she pulls me aside to go upstairs and all havoc breaks loose.

Backstory - I purchased a 50k car for me last week. This is my first brand new car and I’ve been frugal all year so I can afford it without financing. I don’t like to finance anything or have debt besides my mortgage. I feel like if there’s a way to pay cash you should. I am financially responsible and this has been my only luxury in a long time. Our finances are separate. Anyway, I joked that I’m gifting the car to myself for Xmas. It was my gift to myself for getting a great raise and for having a successful year at work. I make 200k and that’s not to brag it’s important info for later.

So when she sees the ring she’s clearly disappointed. It is the style of ring she wants, from the brand she’s always wanted. It’s just not big enough. Let me tell you, it’s not small. It .98 carats so just a hair under a full carat. It’s a natural diamond which I thought was wasteful to begin with because they’re essentially worthless carbon pieces but she wanted it so I wanted to make her happy. The diamond is great quality, it’s from a luxury known jewelry store that does not carry flawed diamonds. That being said, you pay for the name. I could have gotten her twice the size elsewhere from a no name jeweler with similar specs. She was very adamant she wanted the luxury brand.

She’s throwing in my face that I valued getting myself a car over her “once in a lifetime” ring. I paid 12k for her ring. She says that since I make 200k that I could have afforded the ring and diamond size she liked. It would of been 5-7k more so like 17-20k total for a loving ring. Am I dumb? Is it not okay to spend more money on a vehicle that I’ll use every day to get me to and from work? She’s says she uses her ring everyday.

I mentioned that we can return it and get her preferred size at another store where we can get more for the money. She said no. I also told her that she’s welcomed to exchange it for a larger diamond if she wants to cover the difference with her own money if she wants the same luxury brand. She said no one pays for their own diamond especially when their SO drops 50k a week before getting and makes 200k.

So this is where I’m conflicted reddit, I feel a little guilty for buying the car and spending the money right before her ring. I guess I could have spent less and spent more on the ring but I really believe engagement rings are kind of a waste of money. If I didn’t buy the car I wouldn’t think I’m an rear end in a top hat but she’s painting it that way to family and friends. It doesn’t help that her girlfriend’s rings are bigger and even my mother agrees that her diamond is small. I didn’t think engagement rings were a dick measuring contest.

Edit- she knows the carat weight because it has it engraved under the band.

Unless she wants a bigger ring so she can hop in to it and drive to work that's a pretty dumb comparison. Spending even that 12k on jewelry was wasteful.

I said that even in places with lowered tensions that are mostly in the past you can still have awkward relationships, especially concerning older relatives.

Particularly imagine an Irish lad and his best English gal going to her home for dinner and Uncle Gammon starts talking about how Boris Johnson owned the Irish today and how they need to remember their place.

AITA for leaving my family Christmas party after receiving a “joke” gift?

Some background information needed: When I was 19 I did something stupid with my friends and ended up staying a night in jail, mugshot and all. It was harmless dumb teenage stuff but I will always regret it and am very embarrassed of the whole situation.

I’m now in my 40s with with my own children and a niece and nephew. My sister tends to let her children get away with things that I don’t let my children get away with and always gives me a hard time about being too strict with them.

To prove a point, she gifted me a blanket with my mugshot from years ago plastered on it. In front of my kids and her kids. None of them knew about the situation prior to this moment and I don’t think it was her place or the right way to tell them about it.

After an argument between my sister and I, my husband suggested we go home for the night.

AITA?
