Facebook Aunt posted:I wish I'd had "lets play happy families for 16 years" dad instead of the dad I had. My parents broke up when I was 2, and my dad was a deadbeat who contributed nothing and I saw all of 3 or 4 times in the following 16 years. The alternative here is separating and co-parenting while being emotionally honest with the child rather than the dad completely abandoning him

Peaceful Anarchy posted:Do you think the time length is what breaks consent? Because plenty of people stay in relationships they're checked out of for days/weeks/months/years and still have sex with their partners until they leave, often without discussing their dissatisfaction. I think the time and how set he apparently was on leaving despite pretending things were fine are what disgust me. It's the level of deception involved, and that just gets higher and higher with time. If someone's checked out or dissatisfied, they can still hope to fix things. There's plenty of grey area there. But this guy decided nearly two decades ago that he was going to leave his wife the second his kid hit college age, had to work on cranking down his revulsion for her for a year, and eventually I guess decided... hey, may as well bang while she's here, right? I just don't know how someone could get to a point in that situation where she thinks they've gotten over it and he starts having sex with her without it feeling really nefarious. All he had to do was keep his dick in his pants and set/maintain relationship boundaries and it would be like any other "we stayed together for the kids with the agreement that we were done then they were 18" story. Also re: cheaters... Yeah, but people know cheating is wrong and are appropriately put off by it in this story. It just felt like it needed emphasizing that there's also issues in this situation too. She sucks for cheating, not really much to say about it that hasn't been said. I don't suppose I'd straight up call cheating rape, but there are definitely consent issues there like there are on the guy's side in this story. Anyway. Content! AITA for telling my dad that I'm not his replacememt wife? quote:My (f16) mom passed away recently. my brother (m14) and dad are so devastated by this tragic loss and we are struggling.

Facebook Aunt posted:Come on, we have no idea what the alternative would turn out to be. Well, it seems like the guy’s starting position is that he wants to provide a good life for his kid but doesn’t love his wife. If you care enough about staying in your son’s life to fake a romantic relationship for 18 years in order to do it then I think completely disappearing was always out of the question. What would his motivation have been for doing something that crazy if not staying with his son? ChunTheUnavoidable fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Oct 24, 2021 |

If you care enough about staying in your son’s life to fake a romantic relationship for 18 years in order to do it then I think completely disappearing was always out of the question 16, not 18. Probably more like 15, because according to her he wasn't faking it very well the first year after the incident. What are some likely outcomes? 1. Poverty. Two houses are more expensive than one. If they both remained single that would be poorer than if they stayed together. It is extremely unlikely they would decide instead to keep living together and sharing expenes. 2. A messy breakup. Not certain, but likely. Often parents go on to argue and use their kids as pawns to score points. It is awful. Sometimes grandparents and other relatives get involved in the bitterness and drama. 3. Dating+ One or both of them would start dating again, meaning the kid gets less attention. Some of those people might be awful. I suppose a little boy is less likely to get raped by mom's boyfriend than a girl, but there are a lot of bad things that can happen when you start involving strangers in your home. 4. Remarriage. Is this thread not filled with stories of really awful step-parents and step-siblings? Even in a non-abusive situation that means that suddenly all of his toys and other possessions aren't really his anymore, they belong to the family and he's the rear end in a top hat if he doesn't want the new kids playing with his stuff. The kid is getting one big shock when his parents break up. Hopefully both parents will try to make that one shock as gentle as possible, but if they decide to messily blow up his life over this then they would have done it anyway. The alternative was multiple big shocks. His parents split up. They fight over custody. One of them gets primary custody while the other becomes a weekend parent. Parent starts dating. Other parent starts dating. A stranger moves in, maybe bringing rival children with them. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Deciding to put your kid first for 15 or 16 years is not a weird thing to do.

AITA for being upset about my SO in a drinking gamequote:Me (27M) and my GF (28F)were playing with a group of friends (which are all couples). We were playing a game called “Never Have I Ever” a drinking game in which players take turns asking other players about things they have not done. Other players who have done this thing respond by taking a drink. Anyways we were playing and when a question about “Never Have I Ever thought to have sex with other people beside my SO” my GF had taken a shot( and she was the only one out of all the couples to have taken the shot) and now I’m very upset, mad and betrayed for that. Now she’s mad at me for being mad at her due to her answer in the game and she says I’m a jerk. AITA? I think we are missing some words. If the question was "never have I ever had sex with other people while in a relationship" then yeah. But in general? AITA for having different food delivered? quote:On mobile so formatting might be off. Kinda surprised the restaurant let her eat the poo poo there. Chicken nugs and ramen. I wonder how short the list of food she likes is.

Cowslips Warren posted:AITA for being upset about my SO in a drinking game There are dudes who absolutely lose their minds over the idea they're not the only dick to ever penetrate their woman. This reminded me of a college story. Two cishet female identifying friends decided they wanted to try sleeping with another woman and wanted to hook up with each other. The only wrinkle was that they both had boyfriends. Their solution was to film themselves loving each other and give the sex tape to their boyfriends. That means it's not cheating, it's a thoughtful gift of homemade lesbian porn! Both were confused when their boyfriends got mad about it.

The r/relationships protip is to instead invite both boyfriends to participate and then destroy everyone's friendship with everyone else when one person out of the four gets insecure about some aspect of the experience.

my manager shows up while I’m having chemotherapy to talk about workquote:I work at a small branch, which is part of a larger company. My office has a manager, an assistant manager, a receptionist, and nine other employees. I have been diagnosed with cancer. I am able to schedule my chemotherapy on my regular days off. Since my job has no physical labor and we don’t deal with the public at all and only deal with coworkers from other offices by phone or email, my cancer and treatments have not interfered with work and I’m still able to go in as normal. My coworkers know and have been understanding.

Facebook Aunt posted:16, not 18. Probably more like 15, because according to her he wasn't faking it very well the first year after the incident. Let’s not forget that the mom was drug addled and loving random guys during her cheating phase, so he could reasonably expect that she would be using and bringing around weirdos that might harm his son. She’s portraying it as him silently plotting the whole time to leave her coldly. In his mind he was probably trapped in a relationship he didn’t want to be in for the sake of his son, and once the kid was 18 he felt free to end that. They also never got married despite having a household together for 15 or 16 years. And that is after he told her at the outset that it’s just staying together for the kid. I have a feeling there have to have been other signs along the way that he wasn’t fully committed to the relationship. It is probably a surprise to her because she did a lot of work to convince herself that she’d been forgiven.

Nowhere near as bad, but this reminds me of a time when my manager got contacted by HR due to an employee report. It seems she had asked him to stay late, he said he couldn't, and she pushed for details as to why. He finally told her he had to go pick up a prescription before the pharmacy closed, and again at her pushing, told her what pharmacy he had to go to. She then called him back 5 minutes later to say he could stay as late as they wanted, because the pharmacy in question didn't close for another 3 hours. She had called to verify it. Somehow she was blindsided that this was inappropriate.
