This one at least has a happy ending. He flipped on me, left me alone in the woods, and is now trying to apologize. quote:Long long story as short as I can make it: Update: dude who left me in the woods in now in jail quote:His probation officer somehow found my post. I gave her proof, and she went and picked him up.

Just Because Of A Status? HELP!!quote:Well I had a long distance relationship with a girl, she was usually very busy on her work and i would usually wait for her to return from work and 2days ago without thinking found a tweet and put it up on my status about “she is not busy, she is replying to a guy who looks better than you” I wasn’t targeting her in any way, but she think i did, she didn’t talk to me for a while and then almost broke up, i was VERY close to breakup but i managed,now she’s just sending the ‘sarcastic’ emojis like 😊,🙂 and avoiding me and just saying goodnight, bye etc when at the time we would usually talk before this happened, i managed to stop the breakup but she’s acting like we are ex’es… Not as funny as some of them, sure, but I love the "sarcastic emojis".

Zurtilik posted:Wife finds me repugnant This guy should do what I did in a similar situation: Identify that this is a real problem and that it makes you feel bad and unwanted. Ask about what he can do, and if he is doing something wrong or there is anything bad happening that is making her not want to be intimate, then listen to the answers. He can try being more attentive to her emotional needs and try to ensure she gets time to herself regularly to recharge. He can increase his share of household chores, and try and get her something nice every so often to show her is thinking of her in addition to voicing his appreciation. It's a touchy subject, but if the other stuff doesn't make an impact he could try helping her see a doctor and a therapist. She might be on meds that shut her down, maybe there are alternatives her and her doctor could try. Maybe she is getting poor or not enough sleep and feels exhausted all the time. It's easy for that to come across as "the only reason you don't want to have sex with me is because there's something wrong with you", so you have to make as sure as you can it's not because of non-medical issues before you broach the topic. He should make sure to keep clear communication throughout, making sure not to be accusatory ever and to stress that he loves her and this is just one issue in an otherwise fulfilling relationship. none of that worked for us and I'm seeking a divorce but pretty sure that's what you're supposed to do anyways

teen witch posted:I have a sneaking suspicion she was taught some pretty horrific things as a kid and this is the result of that. I kinda feel bad for her This was my thought as well. She was probably raised in a really repressive household and she didn't know how to deal with wanting to masturbate with what she was taught. I also got the sense the guy didn't really try to talk with her after the act. She obviously didn't handle things well but I honestly just want her to get help and learn her urges are natural and ok.

Guy just randomly happens to share a post about how girls who don't answer messages quickly must be chasing better looking men at the same time that his girlfriend is too busy to drop everything to reply to him. What a wild coincidence! He definitely didn't do that as an attempt to passive-aggressively shame her into paying more attention to him. Ugh, girlfriends are the worst. It might help to calmly explain that he didn't mean her. Just, you know, girls in general. Cause come on, babe. You know how girls are.

Well that sucks but it’s a pretty common experience. You just have to weigh whether there is anything else worth sticking around for. Partners of either gender sometimes decide that they aren’t all that interested in sex and don’t give a drat about their spouse’s feelings on the subject. If there are kids involved they may figure you won’t leave them anyway.

teen witch posted:Fake towing company stealing cars with tags from apartment lot, police say they can’t do anything (chud voice) "b-b-b--but if we abolish the police, who will investigate crimes?" A Wizard of Goatse posted:this is exactly the level of interest I've seen cops take in literally any crime where a cop wasn't personally involved, including in Virginia. I'm pretty sure like random pillheads doing burglaries or that one whackjob who thinks he can annex the neighbor's yard by putting his own fence around it aren't all paying the cops off. Yeah, while I wouldn't rule out the police getting a slice of the action, it's not necessarily at play. Ask any person who has survived an encounter with police and this is how they act about all crimes "sounds like a civil matter" is the only thing cops know how to say aside from "he went for my gun" Re: fakes, fakecalling, etc. the general guideline is "don't post stories that are obvious agenda pushing" like all the "[minority] was cartoonishly mean to me and then everyone on the down with cis bus beat me up" because they're boring and don't provide interesting stuff to talk about. Informally the "you can say 'story is fake' but you have to post content" is sometimes enforced and that does cut down on it a lot. I think that's been a successful policy but since the thread's mostly old guard, a vague guideline versus a hard numerical rule is probably fine. Zurtilik posted:Is there a good set of rules/tips for finding and posting content? I mean, I could just go and grab whatever is funny on the front page but I assume people have already done that or don't want to see front page crud? But I would like to bring some content back to the group on occasion. Strategies I've been successful with are: Going to r/aita, sorting by "controversial," ignoring anything where the main character is a teen (they're all either trivial bullshit or just straight up parental abuse) and skimming until I see something that looks interesting Periodically glance at other advice column/agony aunt type places for salacious stories. These places have paid staff sifting out the obviously fake-seeming submissions so most of their content is either mundane or the character in the letter is experiencing some kind of normal problem. Occasionally you get good content though. Places aside from reddit we've had success with include savage love, hola papi, dear prudence, care and feeding, the emily post podcast, ask a manager, and captain awkward. On the rare occasions an op on reddit doesn't use a throwaway, checking their history for other threads they've made, sometimes even off r/aita, is often a valuable source of entertaining content. If you're on twitter and you have one or more reddit bots who post popular stories from reddit, those are fine too. Like many regular posters in this thread, I don't regularly read everything on the front page of any particular reddit sub because it's a garbage site full of garbage people, so don't feel obligated to avoid posting recent or popular stuff from there if you think it's funny. As far as subs not to waste your time with, despite our legacy title, I very seldom find good content in r/relationships. Most of the posts there are boring, and the ones that aren't are just straight up abuse, which we thankfully don't post here anymore. I also avoid justnomil, estrangedparents, or raisedbynarcissists. Aside from their impenetrable nomenclature, naming all the characters single initials and enforced use of a zillion stupid acronyms, the stories themselves are really long and not that interesting. This isn't to say content from any particular sub is forbidden, just strats I've observed save a little time if I'm skimming for a good story to post. Keyword searches are also popular. You can search thread favorites, such as "funko pops," "wipe," "shower," or "recipe," or you might come up with your own. People find all kinds of interesting things using criteria such as "popcorn," "allergic," or "inheritance," but feel free to use your imagination. In addition to forum/advice column posts, the occasional longform journalism piece about the kind of character who is a frequent fixture within the r/relationships threads if you can find one that's interesting is also a welcome addition once in a while, like the idiot who ran a successful restaurant and then decided to close up shop for weeks and go on vacation during peak season, or the world's most divorced man writing about how much he likes burning man. I'm sure whatever you end up posting will be great. EDIT: no animal abuse stories please; we don't like them Invisible Clergy fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Oct 20, 2021 |

Zurtilik posted:Roommate poisoned my betta fish gently caress this dude. That poor fish. Also how the gently caress do you not kick his rear end to the curb when he pepper sprays a roommate the first time? Maybe I'm just not as conflict-averse as this (potentially fictional) dude is but like, you torture and kill a living creature I have an emotional attachment to just to be rude to me, you don't have a place to live. There is no being on the fence about kicking this dude out, but there is being on the fence over whether or not you're gonna get your rear end kicked.

People get really weird when they're up in their feelings, and it's possible that, were she 1) not awakened in the middle of the loving night and 2) not wound up by apparent frustration at not having enough Me Time, she would have found a more reasonable way to describe it. This case sounds a lot like the couple just have no idea how to communicate their needs, and could do with someone who knows how to help people get properly communicating, whether that be a couple therapist or whatever else works for them. Wife is obviously suffering heavily under something, husband is obviously not getting physical or emotional intimacy needs met, and the whole thing really, really sucks. I hope they can untangle things and figure out a good solution, whether that's divorce or better communication or some other intervention.

Apparently a huge number of people just have zero spine or self respect and will put up with everything or have come to normalize incredibly hosed up poo poo because they've just not experienced anything else. "Hey my mom tried to cut off my daughter's hand for the 3rd time, feel bad going no contact though as family will get mad. Just going to try to keep knives away from her when she visits." "Hi my dog's in the vet again after my girlfriend poisoned him again but I can't afford the vet bills since she stole all the money from my account. I feel I'd be in the wrong breaking up because she has anxiety issues" "My roommate is actively shooting at me right now, forgive grammar as I'm posting on my phone behind a makeshift barrier dodging bullets. Roommate is unemployed so if we kick him out he might have trouble finding a new place, would I be the rear end in a top hat if we did?" Like its just insane what people can put up with.
