AITA for what I said after my husband commented on my flat chest?

Thank you for these points, Although I felt like I went too far telling his family but it's the truth. Also, he didn't have an argument with his former co worker but rather a months long fight. He told me he thought his co worker was being unethical but I got told that he (my husband) violated the co worker's privacy to snoop on him and it resulted in a fight and him getting kicked out of the company.

Trust me, I make sure to tell him to look for a job every day but he keeps stalling and I got fed up because I've been carrying the load by myself while he keeps saying he needs time to prepare for work again after what happened with his coworker.

He'd better be a heartthrob since he's not very smart, gets fired from a well-paying job, lies about being unemployed, mooches off his wife for 6 months, leers at his SIL's chest, insults his wife's chest and claims it's
just loving advice and won't get a job since "He needs time to prepare himself".

This clown is on his way to homelessness.

Me and my girlfriend have been together quite a long time now (9 years) and I would consider us to have a fairly solid and loving relationship, I feel happy being with her and really value her sense of humor and intelligence.

She and I have always spoke about marriage as if it was something that would come eventually and I've always been of the mind that I would wait until I was ready in my career. I've been to college and am still looking to do further study to get back on track to my desired path, but recently we've been having a lot of intense conversations about how much she feels so bummed out about not being married yet, and that she doesn't know what to say to her friends and family who keep asking when she will be getting married.

I really feel conflicted on this as I do love her but I just don't feel ready and when I say this to her I know it doesn't make a difference on how it makes her feel. I know I want to get married some day but I hate this constant pressure to be ready for something I'm just not. Not sure how we can resolve this as the last few conversations have ended with us both happy with each other but at polar opposite ends of the scale when it comes to this topic.

For further context: she is settled in her work role, she never went to college and says that marriage is very important to her. I feel like to be in a place where I'm ready could together another 2-4 years.

I'd appreciate any advice on how we can get through this together - do I need to get over myself a bit and get ready to get married since we've been in a relationship so long? Or is there a way that we can both agree and feel happier about the situation we're in?

tl;dr: Girlfriend and I have lots of discussion about marriage, she seems really unhappy not being married/engaged and I just don't feel ready despite being together for 8 years.

You are correct. My actions were sophomoric, dangerous, and petty.

Holidays are SO emotionally difficult even after 3 years of estrangement. So our youngest son reached out to his oldest living brother that he wasn’t angry with his parents but because we drink wine after 5:00 p.m. we cannot ever see our grandchildren as long as we are drinking wine. Granted we are retired, have no arrest records, never, ever drive after drinking a glass of wine. So we think because we have money and our son’s in-laws have no money for Disney vacations or big gift that this is the excuse to eliminate us from their lives…jealousy.

My (23M) girlfriend (20F) let me use her old computer while mine is broken and I found an old archive written by her when she was 16. It is a long story about a maid in the antebellum south that has a romantic affair with the man of the house. It is not as overtly sexual as you may be thinking. It has sex, mostly towards the ending, but it is mainly romantic and very emotional. The maid is clearly meant to be a version of my girlfriend. Everything was fine for me until the part when they arrived to a train station. The maid wanted to leave because she couldn't bear for their romance to be hidden anymore. The man was following her to try to convince her to stay.

The issue is that I found the general representation of the station (and, later in the story, the trains themselves) to be full of anachronisms. I am a train enthusiast and know a lot about the history of rail transportation in the United States. So, I talked to my girlfriend about it but she got upset. She has been saying I shouldn't have read the story because it was a personal thing from when she was a teenager. She is also mad my reaction was something as "superficial" as the level of train accuracy.

Am I the rear end in a top hat?

Missed opportunity to spoiler trains.

I'll start by telling the background story of what happened to my wife and where this left us so my post makes sense. Some years ago my wife was injured at her job. My wife didn't cause the situation but she was the one who was injured. She lost a limb as a result. Her company was investigated under OHSA and there was also legal trouble for them because there were major safety violations that led to what happened to my wife. We took the money my wife received in the aftermath to purchase a home and with the bit that was leftover we invested for our retirement as my wife and I were in our 30s when it happened.

We are comfortable having no mortgage, no debt and our savings but we aren't living like we have a bottomless pit. Our house isn't a mansion. Our vehicles are used. We don't have expensive clothing or unlimited vacations. Both of us still work part-time because we want to keep our resumes current, we don't want to rely solely on the money from what happened to my wife because that is our nest egg and frankly we both need something to do besides be at home. What happened to my wife was traumatic beyond any words I have. I love my wife exactly how she is but both of us agree that we would trade our house and nest egg for our old shoebox studio apartment and the debt we had before it meant my wife could go back to how she was before the injury. The money we got was not from something happy. Also we have never bragged or flaunted our money at anyone. Everyone knows why my wife got that money, there was no way to hide her injury, hospital stay and rehabilitation but we don't talk about it to anyone. Even though what happened is public.

My wife's brother got engaged and we had the two of them over for dinner and drinks. His fiancée had the gall to tell my wife (and me) how lucky she was to have the accident because it got her money to be able to afford a house in an expensive market. She further told her he would gladly chop off her own limb (the same limb my wife was missing) to have a "free" house and to not have to go to work every day. I told her to leave my house because her comment was so out of line to me. My brother-in-law got mad at me for "sticking my nose" in a family argument and later I got an angry call from my in-laws because he told them I threw them out. He did not tell them why but when I repeated his comment they said the same thing my brother-in-law said which is that she was probably just nervous and not thinking straight and that since affording a house here was impossible her envy is understandable. My brother-in-law wants me to apologize.. The only one of my in-laws who isn't mad at me is my wife's oldest brother [my wife has 2 brothers and birth order is oldest brother, engaged brother and my wife]

So...Was I TA for getting involved in my wife's familial dispute? Normally I would never but in the heat of the moment I saw red.

So you intentionally blocked a stranger out of their vehicle out of spite because they parked poorly? I’m not sure this is the own you think it is. You said yourself the lot wasn’t crowded. If that’s the case then OK their parking job was lovely and inconsiderate (unless their vehicle was large enough that a second space was warranted) but it doesn’t seem like it was inconveniencing you and you went out of your way to be a dickhead about it.

submitted 3 hours ago * by how_obscene

I have been together with my boyfriend for almost a year now, and he has never eaten me out. I have talked to him about it a few times, and he always says he just doesn't like the way vagina's smell. The first time I brought it up to him, he said that I smelled gross, and I was Big Upset. I even changed the way I was caring for myself, hoping that it would make it seem less gross to him. I personally love the way I smell and taste, so I don't know what to do. I was also really stressed at the time we had this first talk, and I have an IUD so I was having an almost constant stress period, so I think that also had a lot to do with it. But he hasn't even tried since we had that first talk and I am starting to lose hope.

He has not made me cum in the last five times (at least) that we have had sex. He always cums in about two minutes, even if I refuse to give him head. I am so self-conscious about it now, that I can't even make myself get off when I masturbate because I can smell myself and can only think of how he feels about it. I also can't watch porn anymore because I think of him watching it five times a week to get off when I am not around. I know it is in my head and I am overthinking, but I couldn't even stay wet when we tried to introduce toys.

He says he is trying, but I am worried he might not like women in general. I just found out that he has not eaten a girl out since he has been sober, so almost seven years.

I haven't let myself feel love in four+ years of being single, and now the one guy I have really fallen for doesn't want to give me something that I really want out of sex. Is there a future with him? I know all y'all gonna say no, but anything besides just dump him? It breaks my heart to even think about - we are compatible in almost every single other way.

I just don't want to spend 5 years in the prime of my life with him, just to figure out he's actually gay. Best case scenario, he ends up being bi like me and we grow through it together. Worse case scenario, I never trust men again lol.

Couldn't post in relationship advice so posting here.

My (25) gf(27) has been offered a job in a different country which would be a near six figure salary for her field.

We were always close growing up but she came from a rougher part of the town. She always used to say to me that her parents wanted her to leave and never look back.

She’s always had that mindset even when we were teenagers so she always had more time for studying and Working than hanging out. She’s always wanted that dream job opportunity and told me she’d go anywhere to work in that field.

We’ve been living together for three years now and she mainly looks after most expenses since I dropped and my job doesn’t pay well.

She told me last night she was offered this job in Germany and that she was moving there. I asked her what about me because I didn’t want to leave. She told me she leaves in a few weeks with me or without me.

I did get angry at her and kept asking why would she choose a job over her boyfriend of 6 years. She wouldn’t respond to me and just went to bed.

I tried bringing it up again today to try and comprise but she kept telling me she already did and that I can either come or stay.

I’m now at my parents house to try and cool off because I keep getting angry that she’s just wanting to leave everyone behind for a single job.
