Remember the dude who got a paternity test because his middle son didn't look enough like him? He's baaaaaaa-aaaaack! Wife won’t come with kids for Christmas, help! quote:My wife is divorcing me, if you need all the details, you can check my profile I guess, but the short of it is, it’s over me getting a paternity test. I want to spend Christmas together, but my wife won’t spend it with me. She said she’d split the day so I could see two of my kids, but I want her and the third child to come too. She refuses to do this. I asked my son if he wanted to come see me and he said no, he’d stay with my wife.

BF has turned into a real life cartoon character and I can't take itquote:So me (f25) and my partner (m23) have been dating for 4.5 years now and everything is perfect and I mean EVERYTHING, except this one thing. He is so sweet and so caring, he takes me out to places, holidays abroad, dinners out every other week or so, random thoughtful gifts etc etc. He treats me with so much respect, I've never met anyone who is even close to his level. I'm insanely in love with him, but yeah, there is one issue.

Scorching hot take inc:Woodchip posted:Headline has a good hook It's a pretty mundane poly gamble story but this line in particular stood out to me: quote:She is back to her usual loving and caring self and we even took our daughter for ice cream today. So I am keeping my fingers crossed till its confirmed one way or another. I imagine after a close call divorce, whether or not she's planning on just continuing the poly lifestyle without telling the OP when it was clear storming the front of the castle was ill advised, she'd be going over the top trying to placate him. That he sees her likely over-the-top effort as "usual loving and caring self" makes me wonder if the whole situation came about because she was consistently carrying most of the relationship effort and just felt burnt out/taken for granted. Like she's putting in a "oh poo poo our marriage almost imploded let me show him how important this is to me" and he's like "ah yes, back to the status quo" just feels like there's a lot left unwritten.

AITA for being disappointed in my Secret Santa gift?quote:(Please do not post this anywhere else) Hi everyone! Thought in a gift counts. My goon Secret Santa could send me $10 of cat toys and that would mean a lot more to me than $10 of candy, because my cats go through toys like mad. In Breaking Bad, there was a rather funny part where the main character, kinda poor, was invited to an old friend's birthday party; friend was insanely rich, and invites said No Gifts. So of course he had a stack of awesome presents, and the main character brought him a small wrapped thing of Ramen noodles. Because it was what they had survived on in graduate school. And the rich friend actually was touched by it, and explained to everyone why the noodles were so important, and how much it meant to him that his friend remembered. A KitKat is loving thoughtless. I did help organize a Secret Santa at my old store, after the disaster of one in my teen years, and everyone had to fill out a little card about what they liked/disliked, and with the warning if they didn't fill out the card, they'd be booted out. One rear end in a top hat wrote that he liked money, porn, and money to buy porn. The manager almost wrote him up for that.

I can’t imagine the “suddenly I’m poly now” person was carrying weight in the relationship. Paternity test dad in his previous update mentioned off hand that his wife was mad at him for treating the middle child badly for all this time and that he had a history of infidelity in previous relationships. Good to see him self-owning so powerfully.

Funktastic posted:AITA for not attending my daughters gender reveal for her lizard? OP shared more of her thoughts in the comments: quote:I will be honest I don't have any particular feelings for the lizard. I think it looks like a snake and that freaks me out, and it is incapable of feeling emotions so I don't know why she feels a bond with it. She even named it Ellie, a human name, so she can tell people "I have to get home to Ellie" so she can act like she's busy with a kid at home which I believe is an unhealthy way to cope with her social anxiety, she should learn to get comfortable with saying no instead of using a lizard as an excuse to neglect social obligations quote:She kept labeling it was a gender reveal though. She bought a cake that says "It's a girl" and popped a pink sparkly glitter popper too, which I think is ridiculous, the lizard can't appreciate or love this, it can't even feel emotions. quote:wouldn't say I've invalidated it. She says she doesn't experience sexual/romantic attraction nor has a want for it which is only because she hasn't found the right person yet. It's impossible for someone to not feel such a natural feeling, everyone feels it, it is a normal chemical in our body. I've tried to explain this to her, for some reason she fears physical interaction with men. I think her fears probably stems from not having a father because he left when she was three.

My girlfriend [M & F 24] gave me access to her online photos and I found old pics not meant for my eyes. quote:Girlfriend and I (we're both 24) have been together for 6 months. She's pretty withdrawn from social media and the pics she used on the dating site we met on were from years ago. I've never had a long term girlfriend (this is the longest) but she has had much more relationships than I have. I've only had one other girlfriend and the rest have been just single dates and done.

Cowslips Warren posted:AITA for being disappointed in my Secret Santa gift? This is the problem with even randomly-assigned Secret Santa - inevitably (one or more) someone’s, going to end up stuck paired with someone who is financially or socially unable to reciprocate. I prefer gift games where all the gifts end up in a pile and there’s some select-or-steal mechanism. It builds in some anonymity, is much more random, and is much less likely to end up pairing a thirty-something woman with a male new grad who’ll decide to “shoot his shot” and buy her lingerie or something similarly insane. It goes “I feel bad because I wound up with a lame gift” instead of “I feel bad because a coworker cared so little about me personally that I wound up with a lame gift.”

This sounds kinda weird but remember the little brother that was killing themselves by doing horrifying homemade "sounding" or something with a bike pump? He's probably fine. I can't say how I figured that out without doxing the OP for it but I was able to verify that the brother matching the age was being talked about as if he was alive 2 years ago on their social media (years after the post) and while the OP has publicly shared deaths and personal matters in their family on that platform, they haven't mentioned anything tragic happening to anyone young in the family.

The last gift exchange game I played I walked out with a box of wine and I felt pretty happy about it. Anyway, I'll be totally honest, I love giving gifts but I am broke as gently caress this year, so I'm falling back on homemade gifts. I've made some soap (just melt and pour, but it smells nice and it's in pretty shapes), I'll do some soup-in-a-jars and some peanut brittle and I'm thinking some spice mixes, all things that are incredibly cheap but take some effort and thought to do. I cannot imagine ever, even now in my current financial situation, giving someone a single chocolate bar and feeling good about it.

AITA for taking my car back from my brother after I found his GF driving it?quote:My brother’s car got messed up so he asked me if he could borrow mine for a couple months. I’m (27m) working from home so I don’t really need to drive around much. My only condition was I don’t want his girlfriend driving it AT ALL. She’s a horrible driver.

value-brand cereal posted:What usually makes a bus ride take four hours? Inter city? Or lovely public transportation? lovely public transit, especially if you're trying to go between suburbs instead of trying to go downtown. And/or having to go across the city for work- a ring road can make it very easy to drive across a city, but busses usually don't do long round trips around a ring road.

The kind of people who are swingers are almost never the kind of people you'd want to be swingers. Does feel like part of the reason boundaries are so hard is because we've all been taught to obey heirarchy and norms, not to actually consider other people's welfare and feelings.
