He's unemployed and presumably financially dependent on his wife, so I'm guessing this is his completely insane way of trying to exert control and have power over something.

Is it unfair for me to ask my boyfriend to do something he feels uncomfortable with?quote:I (24F) met a guy (22M) online without the intention of dating him. I like chit chats so we were just gonna talk and stuff. But of course things got flirty and we decided to date. He is my first boyfriend. This guy feels right and he is very sweet. I am not pretty so I don't think I have the right to be picky. So when we were talking at first maybe for a few months we hadn't seen each other's face. He never asked me to show mine which I'm relieved but I couldn't help but wish I looked beautiful so I'd be more confident to show him myself. Fast forward I realized I love him so much that I don't want to feel like I'm hiding anymore. So I did it. Scariest thing I've done so far. Show him myself even with the risk of him leaving me because I'm not decent looking.

I looked up that post and sorry for cross posting it here. Turns out that was just regular straight up gaslighting / financial abuse and the OP might be having difficulty safely leaving him in her country. My bad, I thought it was funny weird cishet relationship, and not like, unfunny abuse.

Kenshin posted:Also a solution not remotely easily implementable with housing laws in the majority of Western countries (and I don't know about others) without paying lawyers to do a lot of strangeness. This is exactly how my housing situation is (we own a part of the building equal to the size of our apartment, this gives us the right to live in our apartment as if we owned it outright, the "rent" we pay each month is our percentage of the maintenance etc fees and if we ever move out we can only sell at a fixed price) Except for having a lawyer look at the economy of the housing organisation we bought into, there was no strangeness or getting around existing laws. Because this kind of housing already has its own laws. And we very much live in a western country. There a also nonprofit housing companies where you still rent, but all the tenants own the housing company together. Obviously all of this is about to be destroyed because of global late stage capitalism, but it exists in the Western world and has for 100+ years

Motronic posted:And back to the reason this began in the thread as I understand it: a co-op buy in is not nearly as achievable as "renting an apartment", and a lot of people simply can't achieve that. I sure as hell couldn't for a lot for a lot of my life, so whenever I see the "guillotine all landlords" thing I'm left wondering exactly what the gently caress early 20s me would have done for housing if I didn't have the option to rent. In most countries there isn't any shortage of housing. What there is instead is a shortage of affordable housing. This is a problem very easily solved by expropriating the properties into a fully nationalised social housing program with extremely strict price controls on any private residential properties remaining. Housing is basic human right and should never be allowed to become commodified.

I'm just asking him to play his part. r/relationships: he wasn't even there when they died, so

AITA for refusing to return my $400 wedding dress like my fiancè requested?quote:I (f27) have been with my fiance for 2 years. He's 32, divorced doctor and lived in another town but we moved in together 7 months ago and got engaged. Unlike my exes, he's a decent, level-headed guy though he can be a bit overdramatic when it comes to financials. I see this marriage lasting long.

PancakeTransmission posted:Sorry, you cant love someone that you've never actually met. You only love an idea. The building I work at is kinda centrally located in a large civilian city (military here). And about once every couple of months we have random women show up to pick up their "boyfriend". There's somebody out there catfishing these woman out of thousands of dollars using stories, and photos, of some random Soldier to sell them a story about secret missions and other bullshit. He finishes with the women by telling them that he's gotten in trouble and is being held at our facility. I have no idea why. These VERY angry women show up beating on our doors/windows/gates demanding we release him. It's happened so much that we actually have a policy of bringing them inside, showing them around (it's just a loving office) and explaining what catfishing is and that it has happened to them.

thekeeshman posted:I love it when modern leftists decide that the answer to the housing crisis is co-ops, otherwise known as the only residential legal structure that tends to be more racist and classist than HOAs. This is roughly how I feel when I hear leftists (in America no less) insisting that the solution to racism in police forces is organizing vigilante militias in their place.

I don’t think the solution to the housing crisis is co-ops; I think the solution is more building. I recognize you can’t just transition overnight by fiat from a commodified real estate market to a cooperative system. It’s a goal, and I still think a better way to organize non-permanent housing than the rent system, but it would come as the last step of a larger reform program which would involve cultural as well as economic changes. People who advance these positions have usually thought them through! I know it’s fun to assume everyone you disagree with is an idiot proposing the stupidest version of their idea that you can imagine, but that’s not usually the case!
