If this guy wasn't a shitlord, explaining why that card is so special would be a great way to bond with a child that he may one day be a father figure to, depending on how serious he is about his girlfriend.

My (25,f) therapist (50sf) is encouraging me to cheat on my boyfriend?

Hello. I have been with my boyfriend for 5 years and I have been seeing my therapist once a week for 4 weeks now.

My boyfriend has been a pretty crappy boyfriend this year. He has admitted to cheating on me, he is verbally and emotionally abusive and overall has low care for my feelings. I do plan to break up with him by the end of our lease (April) but for now I have to be cordial to him as we still live together. If I also attempt to break up with him while we’re still living together, he will make my life a living hell.

I told this all to my therapist. She is suggesting I start moving on now while we’re still “together” so I can completely remove him from my mind while focusing on someone else. She even suggested I message my ex-boyfriend. She also thinks “cheating” on him back will make the situation easier on myself. This was all told to me last night, so I ended up texting and having a conversation with my ex-boyfriend all while my boyfriend was laying next to me. I felt disgusting and grimy doing it, and I dont want to hurt my boyfriend or ex-boyfriend. I dont feel my therapist is giving me good advice. I’m not sure what to do.

Tl;dr: my therapist is encouraging me to cheat on my boyfriend to “get over him”

EDIT: thank you all for your advice. I will be changing therapists. I never think cheating is the right thing to do (no matter the circumstances) and I think people that cheat are horrible human beings. With that being said, I will not be cheating as my therapist suggested. There are a lot of reasons I cannot move out now, mainly being money. I can make it till April. Thank you again everyone.

Uh, almost every therapist I've ever gone to had some kind of early evening availability a couple days a week, since adult clients usually have full-time day jobs. Not late late night, but something like "on Tuesdays and Thursdays, our latest appointment starts at 7 pm".

My boyfriend (19M) asked if he could have sex with his best friend (17F).

My boyfriend (19M) and I (17F) have been dating for 2 years. We’re in a normal healthy relationship. Randomly, two days ago, my boyfriend asked me during our FaceTime call if he could have sex with his best friend who is the same age as I am and goes to the same school as me.

Those two have been friends since the start of my freshmen year and they knew each other first. I’m casual friends with her and we knew each other since middle school but never had the interest to get close with each other. I know those two hang out every now and they’re like siblings to each other. They’ve been through a lot before I even knew him.

Two days ago, in call, he explained how his best friend just got through her heartbreak and she just really wants to lose her virginity before we graduate, just for the sake of it. I was so weirded out and disgusted. I try to be an understanding person and girlfriend but this really triggered me to the point of where I wanted to break up with him. Usually my boyfriend is very understanding with how I feel too but I could tell he was getting a bit upset when I told him how disgusted and disturbed I was that he even asked me. I try to be so understanding but I couldn’t understand why he would ask me in the first place. That just tells me he wants to have sex with her. I understand his point of trying to help out a very close friend and I know he doesn’t have feelings for her but I can’t deal with it. This whole situation just turned into an argument and I haven’t spoken to him since but he’s been trying to contact me. On his Instagram stories, he’s been hanging out with her and their friends together during this whole thing.

I just want to tell my story out to people and I want to know people’s opinions because I feel wrong. I understand my boyfriend but I can’t let him do that with another girl. Maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know.

TL;DR: My boyfriend asked if he could have sex with his best friend.

In Welsh "Ll" is it's own letter that doesn't exist in English and it's own sound. The best I can tell you I'm writing is that it sounds crossed between the English "ch" and "sh" sounds while trying to clear your throat.

Is it the ch in 'loch' in the Scottish sense?

It's a coincidence. Gandolf was a maiar (basically an angel) who walked Middle Earth for about that long before the Balrog incident. Balrogs were basically corrupted maiar who threw in with Sauron's boss at the dawn of time.

Edit: Gandalf's more like Archangel Michael.

claws for alarm
AITA for not stopping my band's show because my girlfriend got caught in the moshpit?

quote:

Am using a throwaway though I'm not sure why because the second she sees this, she'll know it's about her.

Last Saturday my <23M>'s band was playing a gig at a bar. My GF <21F> just turned 21 in November, and this was her first chance to see us play outside of practice. I play bass and sing. We are a punk metal band. There were three bands playing, and we went on in the middle. Also, me and GF drove up together which ended up being a BIG MISTAKE.

She doesn't like my kind of music, but she was being supportive. The crowd wasn't very heavy but it was heavier than usual for this venue, so about 20-30 people during the first band. She's already complaining about being bored when the first band was playing and wanted to know why we got there so early. It's pretty much a thing to support the other bands when you're all playing. I told her we'd have to stay until after the third band and she was already in a bad mood. The crowd was not very rowdy during the first band.

Our time to play came on and we set up. As we were setting up about 10 more people showed up, mostly there to see the last band who is more popular than us, so by now the place is getting way more crowded than usual.

We go on, and she's right in the middle of the floor arms crossed watching us. Which I thought was pretty cool at first because she was there supporting us even though she was in a bad mood and didn't really want to be there. BUT

Our third song is really fast and heavy, and the crowd started circling. She didn't understand/realize/comprehend what was happening. I waved at her to move out of the way, and she did the Baby Yoda uncomprehending wave back. The crowd started running into each other and moshing.

Now, you gotta realize being in a band this is the ultimate rush and it was the first time this really happened for us so everybody was into it. But my GF didn't know WTF was going on, and instead of getting TF out of there she started pinging around like a drat ball in a pinball machine. I think the guys in the pit thought she was into it so they started smacking into her.

She ends up going down in the pit, and another dude trips over her and lands on her hard. I can see she's crying and screaming. The pit stops and some other girls pull her out. She's bleeding from her arm and goes to the bar, and I can see she's bleeding. She's pointing at her arm, screaming. I can't hear poo poo.

We play the next song, and she storms out. She ubers home and calls me like 15 times over the next 20 minutes of our set (We only play for like 35 minutes). i get off the stage to find a bunch of missed calls and texts.

She is full on RAGE PISSED I didn't immediately stop the song and save her from the mosh pit. I didn't warn her. (I honestly didn't think it would happen). Tonight she blew off our NYE plans because of the incident and both the drummer in my band and some of our mutual friends told me i'm a complete A-hole. I honestly don't think i am. Am I the A-Hole?

I'm surprised the drummer is taking the girl's side. Kind of ridiculous to expect the band to stop playing here IMO.

Spending three hours miserable and confused is not the only way to show support for your partner. Going to the punk/metal gig when that's not your scene was a mistake in the first place.

When I googled the mosh pit post the first results were stories about big bands pausing a show to check on a fan that was hurt in a mosh pit so I guess its a thing bands that care do?

Yeah, like if those other girls didn't help her sure, stop it temporarily, but expecting them to up and cancel the gig because she got a booboo while (albeit unwittingly) standing in a mosh pit is pretty ridiculous.

People in the comments are talking about how big and small bands will more often then not stop playing if someone gets hurt, or call people out for being shitheads, and apparently Kurt Cobain for instance was famous for stopping shows and yelling at the crowd to calm down.

It really depends on the genre nowadays, lot of punk bands will open with something nice about respecting personal space, lot of hardcore bands you get kicked in the head.

Someone will always help you off the floor immediately no matter how brutal the show is. Occasionally bands will stop a song if too many people are getting knocked down, usually they just say "let's turn down the intensity a little" between songs.

I think I've only really seen a show stopped because of like a 6-man brawl, that's a bad idea, people get angry. Fortunately it was just those same guys fighting in the street after.

If his gf was really so unfamiliar with the territory of that scene, he is the rear end in a top hat for not telling her what to expect. Maybe she is a poser and he thought she would know.

He probably should have paused and let her get out of the forming most pit instead of just waving at her, it doesn't sound like she got hurt too bad but my understanding is an unprepared person can get fairly hurt before the people around them realize what's happening.

PetraCore

👁️🔥👁️👁️👁️BE NOT👄AFRAID👁️👁️👁️🔥👁️

My vague understanding of moshing is it's several steps down from a stampede dynamic, where people have the ability to step back and give you space and stop if you get hurt and people are prepared and taking precautions to not get completely wrecked or wreck someone, but the tight packing and movement means someone who isn't prepared or is small can get hurt pretty bad pretty fast and once people start falling on other people you want to stop because that gets out of hand.

What I'm saying is I'm kind of unclear exactly how hurt his ex-gf was because he's being so vague, and even if she only scraped her arm on something the dude who fell on her was wearing and is bruised up it's an absolutely terrifying situation to be in unexpectedly.
