I (28F) moved to another country for him (30M) but he doesn't even want me. Am I crazy?quote:I felt in love with my friend, I get really obsessed with him. I doubt it is normal. He lives in another country. We once had sex and I though he would be interested in me, if not the distance. I managed to find a job there and to move there (I told him it was pure coincidence me moving there). As soon as I met him I confessed my feelings to him, I told him that I feel something for him, I still remember our night together and I would like to date him now that we live so close to each other. He rejected me saying he didn't like me that way. I said it was fine, I am still friends with him because I feel lonely now in a new place. Do you think I am crazy? I am not sure what should I do now?

DeeplyConcerned posted:What the everloving christ? What does the whiteness of the neighborhood have to do with the likelihood of getting your baby stolen and your car stolen? I don't intend to put words in that poster's mouth, but I am fairly certain they are aware of all this, and the post in question was a jab at the OP's wife's inherent biases, rather than an affirmation of the biases in themselves. Like whenever there's a post about someone maintaining they do not deserve to get in trouble just because they got caught stealing or sexually harassed someone, it's not hard to infer what OP looks like or how they got the idea that consequences are for Others. Conversely, when someone is frustrated that their family refuses to accept their partner or children as part of the family for no apparent reason, there is one obvious guess (family is racist), and it turns out to always be the case. The post is suggesting that the wife doesn't believe nobody would ever steal a baby anywhere, but that she believes nobody in her neighborhood would do that; that only happens in other, bad, neighborhoods, and a person who believes that tends to have some unsympathetic views on what makes a neighborhood bad. Did that get communicated? Not well enough, evidently, but I tend to give goons the benefit of the doubt, since the ones that do post bigoted poo poo do not leave room for anyone to mistakenly think they might mean well.

I don't think it really changes anything, I remember relationships posts about someone moving to a different city in the US because they thought someone liked them, and they gave me the same level of creeper vibes.

Far from unheard of, even over moderate distances. Moving first and then asking them out is insane on any level. Same as if you moved from Oregon to Washington or Jersey to New York solely to be closer to a person you haven't even been on a single date with.

My(24F) husband (26M) won't wash his hands after he poops.quote:This has been an ongoing thing for quite some time. No matter how often I ask him to, he just insists that his hands are clean and that he didn't touch his poop. This absolutely bothers me, I find it extremely un-hygienic considering we have two young children. Speaking of the children, he also freely wipes their snotty noses with his BARE HANDS. I'm admittedly an extremely clean person, and he is clearly, not. He makes me feel like I'm over reacting, but I don't think it's normal for a 26yo to not wash their hands after taking a poo poo? Or to wipe snot with bare hands, especially when there's always a pack of wipes/tissues nearby. He refuses to admit it's gross and frequently dismisses me asking him to stop. Any advice to help me get this man to wash his hands and stop grabbing snot would be greatly appreciated. Aw poo poo

AreWeDrunkYet posted:That's a bit over the top. They're kids who go to school together, and were close for at least a couple of years. She is asking for emotional support in a difficult situation even after the intimate relationship is over which isn't unreasonable. The son shouldn't be obligated and the dad stepped over the line there, but there is a conversation to be had with a child in this situation about maturity and understanding that someone else can be in pain even if you are also. Again, definitely disagree with forcing the kid, just that the sentiment of "Yes, it sucks that the intimate relationship is over, but consider whether you want to maintain any relationship with this person. If it's yes, you need to have some serious introspection about your empathy in this situation." is something that a child may not have the maturity to get to without help from their parents. What the hell? If the dude doesn't want to go to the funeral, that is all that matters. What is his ex gonna do, break up with him again?

WIBTAH for backing out of a boat sale because someone else offered me more money? quote:So I am in the middle of selling my boat which is listed at $18k and in the past couple days I’ve had a ton of people contact me about it but only a few super serious but one guy has offered me full asking (cash) plus $200 (whether he buys it or not) to tow it to him and meet him half way, which is about 3 hours from where I am. It’s not ideal but where he wants to meet is where my brother lives so I can just spend the weekend with my brother. He sent me the $200 via Venmo (which hasn’t been deposited to my bank or anything) to have me hold it which I can then keep whether he buys it or not like I mentioned.

I once made a joke like ten years ago on social media that upon my death, I wanted my skeleton stripped of my flesh and gilded, and set up in a family member's house to always creep at them. My niece 'claimed' me and it became an in-joke with that arm of the family that's gone on a little too long for my liking - to the point I am terrified they may actually try to do it. Anyway I guess don't joke about what you want done if you don't want to risk it actually happening.

At worst, this post could be read to imply that there are, which is an obviously false and, on its face, racist belief. At best, it could be insulting to black people who are more aware than white people of the role of systemic raciam in fostering crime in black communities. I have no idea who you are or what you meant, but your statement could be construed as coming from a place of ignoranxe and privilege. "white" neighborhoods are basically a derogatory joke at this point about super rich and bougie places filled with Karens and narcs where there's community patrol driving around writing tickets for parking too far from the curb. It's not even someplace you would consider desirable unless you wanted to running a HOA for the thrill of the power it gives you. I'm sure it's used by some people to imply it's a racially pure living zone, but everyone else is using it as an insult to the culture and community of the space.

Invisible Clergy posted:loving boomerbrained piece of trash. Your obligations to someone cease when you terminate the relationship with them. Funerals are boring and unpleasant and you should only consider going to them to appease people you like, not someone you've broken up with. What's particularly annoying about this is the OP doesn't even gain anything from it. It's just that Calvin's dad brainworms of "oh what's this? something horrible? better force my son to do it even though it doesn't acquire me money or resources." I hope we get a followup post in 5 or fewer years once the college money is no longer a knife OP can hold to his son's throat and he goes no contact. I have no doubt it will come as an utter surprise to OP, if not his complicit wife. I'm sorry your dad made you pick up sticks from the lawn so he could mow, that's pretty awful.

Today's theme is animals. AITA for refusing to wash my clothes without soap because my housemate has an allergy? quote:I (24F) moved into a house a few months ago. There are 2 units in the house, with their own separate living spaces, but the garage, laundry room and garage fridge are shared. I did not know the other tenants when I signed the lease, but when I moved in they introduced themselves. They are sisters and I mostly interact with the older sister "Jess". Jess told me she has some allergies and asked that I do not store any food made with nuts or strawberries in the garage fridge and that I don't use fabric softener the shared washing machine, as the second hand exposure gives her an allergic reaction. I agreed, as I don't use fabric softener anyway and was trying to be a good housemate. AITA for taking my stolen dog for 2 years from a family which loved her? quote:I adopted my dog from a shelter August 15, 2014. It was a small sized mutt which looked a little like a collie, so we named her Collie. Collie is the 3rd member of our childless household of family pets, we had 1 more dog and a cat. AITA for refusing to pay the vet bills for a dog's injuries I caused? content warning animal abuse quote:Last weekend I was on my back patio watching my 2yo play in the yard. I'm pretty sure I was actually browsing this sub at the time. Anyway, I hear a noise and look up to see my neighbor's chihuahua that had apparently gotten into our yard through a gate I hadn't closed properly, moving aggressively towards my kid. I yelled at it, but it was apparently absolutely set on doing something to my 2yo.

Given the way the OP describes the dog I'm really doubting it was anything remotely aggressive and they just took the chance to football kick a small dog with what they thought was a valid excuse.

value-brand cereal posted:AITA for taking my stolen dog for 2 years from a family which loved her? What kind of rear end in a top hat just steals a dog, that’s so terrible. How did it even happen, maybe he has crazy neighbors who went into his backyard or something - wait a second, “We had Collie let loose to run around the neighbourhood every evening, and she would come back in about 30 minutes. It wasn't that we won't walk her, she just doesn't do well with a leash and prefers to run around all by herself.” Ok, never mind. Hopefully the dog stays gone the next time and this idiot doesn’t find her again.

LOL, one of my chud co-workers went through a divorce last year because his wife saw the writing on the wall (Maybe literally, I'm sure he put a Trump sign up) and smacked the 'EJECT' button. Political landscape and pandemic aside, maybe most relationships should have an enforced isolation of like a month - no going out, no get-togethers, just you and your partner in your home or maybe a nice cabin - because a lot of relationships seem to be build around "well, it's someone to do stuff with" and NOTHING else.
