packetmantis posted:My favorite open relationship story is the one where the guy managed to harangue his girlfriend into it only to find out the woman at the office who was totally flirting with him was a lesbian. My favorite is the one that was a longform article from a dude who cajoled his long-suffering wife (in a marriage that was clearly very stressed and, iirc, dealing with infertility/miscarriage) into opening the relationship so he could bang random chicks at Burning Man. He got a few "spiritual" festival hookups, the wife got a new partner and left him (and had a kid with that new partner nigh-immediately), and he wrote the article about it, because it was clearly all a very deep character-building experience and not a lovely moron ruining his own life. I hope his ex-wife and her family are very happy.

Bruceski posted:Mine ignored the TV except for one scene, where a public broadcasting filler show (small 10-iminute things to fill gaps due to lack of commercials) talked about a wildcat rescue. One scene had a small lynx hissing at the camera invading their space, and that made my cat's head swivel every time. Any other TV sounds, animal or whatever, nothing, but he was hard-wired for that hiss. My mother was playing a recording of a bald eagle recently and it got the cats really excited. They don't respond to all bird sounds, though.

It came from r/sex How can I not lose my self confidence when my husband says "gross" and "eww" if I try to initiate sex? quote:My husband and I have been married for a month and most of the time, when I try to initiate sex he says "eww" "noooo" "what are you doing" "you're such a pervert" "gross" "disgusting". Top comment: quote:He's gay, you are his beard At least she can probably get it annulled?

Cythereal posted:Husband is kind of a nut, has security cameras pointed at neighbor's houses. This one is going to continue to escalate until he has a schedule set up for guard duty. The wife will have to patrol the house with a loaded gun in case the "fortress" gets attacked by "the enemy." Eventually they are going to have children because "they need more bodies to patrol the perimeter." Either way someone is going to get shot.

AITA for refusing to let my son have two last names?quote:hey guys! So, a bit of context I (M32) have been with my wife (F30) for 3 years. she comes from a country where women get to keep their maiden name after marriage which was fine with me though as someone who comes from the south my family pushed for my wife to take my last name but she ended up keeping hers which made my family somewhat unhappy saying it was disrespectful of her to keep her maiden name but thankfully they got over it and things got better and we reconciled later. IT'D JUST BE TOO CONFUSING FOR MY SON TO HAVE A NAME THAT I DONT WANT hey gently caress you buddy

AITA for attempting to get a family with kids evicted?quote:I recently moved in an apartment complex and next to me lives a family of 4, the parents with their two kids. The kids seem to be young, one is clearly a baby and the older one possibly under the age of 3. The family also apparently owns their own apartment and they don't rent. scum quote:It's not a matter of personal comfort but a matter of respect. They don't seem to respect the neighbors if they let their kids be loud all day long quote:Running around laughing and throwing toys on the floor, sometimes I even hear them playing these kids songs

I mean, he sounds like a shitter, but hyphenated or extremely long names are problems on forms in most countries globally so from a pure child's quality of life I'd recommend avoiding that. Of course my solution would have been to pick out your own new joint last name or give the child a completely unique identifier, but you know, we wouldn't be here if they did that.

Where are hyphenated last names a real problem? Spanish-speaking countries have bonkers long names, and I’ve had a hyphenated last name in the USA with almost no problems. Sometimes a form will have the names smooshed together, or sometimes it’ll be [thirdname], [firstname secondname] but it’s never caused a situation that couldn’t be easily resolved or ignored.

I'm Hispanic, so I've got two last names. I wanted our son to have both of our last names and my wife wanted her last name to come first. I didn't care, so that was a non-issue. What didn't work out was that I wanted him to have two separate last names so that he could just fill out forms with his first one, like I do. Instead, my wife put a damned hyphen in there. I hate the way it looks on paper and now the kid's gotta hope that name forms accommodate sixteen characters, one being a hyphen. E: Honestly, more than whatever issue with forms he might have, the whole hyphen thing feels a little Gringo to me. It sounds silly, but I was hoping to do something a little more traditionally Hispanic, but with a twist (with her last name coming first).

Its on my mind in Japan with that problem, although that applies to most non Kanji names to be honest. I had friends growing up though who had to constantly re-get paperwork due to the hyphenated name being done incorrectly then not matching other records and it seemed like a completely unneeded yet constant frustration.

The computer system where I work has a limit of 35 characters (including spaces) for names, and that includes spouse's names for married people so if both spouses have different 16 character last names then it can run into trouble, but that's trouble for us bureaucrats and mostly we just abbreviate the name so it's somewhat comprehensible but under 35 characters.

Mx. posted:The woman (28f) I am seeing (non exclusive) left the party with another man in front of me (27m) now she is calling me again OP posted:Update- So the general consensus among the comments I read before going out (it was 100 comments till then) was that I shouldnt talk to her but I really wanted to talk to her and get her side. There were 2 reasons, firstly I was genuinely surprised with this behavior of hers as this is not how she behaves normally and secondly, I really like her. So I decided to meet her for a cup of coffee. When we met I told her how hurtful her actions were that night, and although we were not exclusive thats not how how treat someone you like. She was very apologetic and told me that she didnt hook up with the guy and he just gave her a ride till her home. She showed me a text she sent him around 45 minutes after she left the party where she told him "thanks for the ride". Then she told me that she just wanted me to say something to her or stop her, anything to show that I was interested in going official with her but when I didnt say anything she just decided to go home. So then I asked why not ask me, and then she went on a mini rant of sorts. She said when she asked the last guy to go exclusive after 3 weeks of dating he called her insecure and clingy, and laughed at her for being out of touch of the dating realities. She also said that he told her no one would exclusive before 2 months so she is just playing herself by hoping for exclusivity so early. She obviously broke up with him, but she told me that his words have obviously stayed with her. And when she and I didnt discuss exclusivity even after 1 month she feared that history was repeating itself again, so she was desperate for any sign of my interest. She also says she didnt want to come of as clingy or insecure without getting any sign from me, thats why she didnt initiate the exclusivity conversation with me. She does seem to be very sorry and wants us to continue dating exclusively. I am torn right now, I obviously like her and want to see where it goes but I am also hurt. But then everyone makes a mistake sometimes, does that mean I should ignore our obvious chemistry and potential. Oh and also she was pretty drunk that night, so that didnt help too. I have asked till Friday to tell her my decision. Any advice?

Midnight Voyager posted:Has anyone seen a marriage that opens up in the middle WORK? Every open/poly deal I know about that works started out that way because you set rules to begin with and... then everyone goes with them and it's fine! Mine? We started going out when we were teenagers, and then decided to open things up in our early 20s. We don't have kids. We're not really Poly though, more swingers I guess? We've had zero problems with it but I think that's because we spent awhile talking about it before trying it, and we absolutely did not have anyone specifically 'in mind' for when we opened up. The only issues we ever really had was in the beginning, where my girlfriend would go overboard on comparing the girls we were hooking up with to herself, and torturing herself over whether she was inferior because New Girl was thinner/longer hair/bigger boobs/smaller boobs whatever. She quickly realised I wasn't going to leave her for any of these women and that the particular body type didn't matter to me at all, I was just happy to be there! We also do not preach - the only people that really know that we're open are our closest friends. I always cringe when I see people posting pro-poly screeds on Facebook or whatever. I've seen most of them crash and burn because one or the other partner has a crush on someone and they go the non-monogamy route as just a crutch for the cheating they're hoping to do. Our roommates (who had been in a relationship for like 8 years) asked us for our tips on how we did it successfully, and then did the opposite of every single bit of advice we gave them. They each just had some 'alternate' that they were hoping to bang, and then crashed and burned like a month into it. To be fair though we only know one other couple in Real Life who managed to do something like this without it becoming a ridiculous disaster. It is almost always that one partner is wayyyyy more into the idea than the other and then it is doomed from the start. The kind of people who are already jealous/suspicious are hosed because it is only gonna make that stuff worse. Mr. Grapes! fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Dec 9, 2021 |
