Clocks posted:The wife already feels threatened by him hanging out with Anne... hmm, how can we alleviate these concerns? I know, let's lie about whether we're hanging out with her and then also lie about the reasons we lied! From the OP quote:She doesn't like them, I don't think there's much more about that. Jacob and her had a small fight when we first started dating and my other friends took his side, her problem with Anne is that she's a woman and she thinks she likes me although she doesn't and it's been years since I've had a thing for her. Maybe I'm weird but I can't imagine being in a situation where my spouse and my small group of friends don't get along at all. It makes me think either the friends suck or the wife sucks. But why would you marry someone who doesn't mesh with the rest of your personal life? Edit: oh, there we go: quote:They were arguing about politics

Tangentially related to boat guy but I remember there was a story about this woman who was basically screaming every 10 seconds every time she was a passenger in a car. Another car just barely ran a red light? "He could have killed us! AHHHH." Car on the side gets just a smidge too close? "Get further away GET FURTHER AWAY" In those cases... yeah, I can see losing a bit of sympathy. But that's also something to uh, get them help for. And maybe not have them as a passenger.

I think the part in boat guy's post about his fiancee screaming that it was his fault that they're going to die deserves more attention. That's the kind of thing that would make me rethink a relationship for sure

One of those things you say when you think you're dying, but turns out to be really awkward if you do survive.

Reminds me of a Jack Handy deep thought: “If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.”

In addition to not being in control as a passenger, I think it's instinctive to worry about the other person in the situation as well. So that can lead to heightened anxiety. It's sort of a protective response.

When I was a kid one of my mom's friends had been in a car accident and freaked out all the time in cars. Once she was sitting next to me, screamed and smashed her elbow into my face "trying to protect me" from the oncoming car that was going like 5km/h while we were backing out of a space in a parking lot. Fun times.

AITA (M20) for not going inside Victoria’s Secret with my girlfriend (F20)quote:I (M20) was shopping at the local mall with my girlfriend (F20) and she decided she wants to go to Victoria secret. For those of you who don’t know, that’s a women’s underwear store. When my girlfriend went in I just stayed outside of the store and sat on a bench. She was confused and came back to me and asked why I didn’t come with her. I told her because it’s a women’s underwear store I don’t want to go inside. She got kind of mad and told me that nobody cares so just come. I refused because I feel weird going into a store like that and don’t want to make the women there feel uncomfortable. My girlfriend get upset and decided to end the day and go home. She said I ruined the day by not going into a freaking store. afterward she invited me in for some coffee and got mad when i said i don't drink coffee

But what if he catches the gay and starts feeling an urge to wear women's underwear? Then he won't be an alpha male but a beta-cuck.

I also think maybe the right approach about someone’s sexual squeamishness is communication. I can’t get onboard with this stomping off poo poo.

If he's willing to follow her around in any other store then he's being weird and doing some toxic masculinity poo poo if this is where he draws the line. Fun fact: you do not even need a chaperone to go into a ladies' lingerie store! You could be a solo guy there buying a gift (or hell something for yourself, idk).

wheatpuppy posted:There is nothing less sexy than shopping in Victoria's Secret. Obviously, but you don't know that when you're that age, and the first time in a relationship shopping for anything bedroom related can be an exiting time still. I think she thought it was going to be a fun surprise, have a nice time picking something out, getting home later and having fun "trying it out". These days with my wife we just go into the sex shops and compete to find the waggliest silicone dong and make the other one laugh.

Honestly I don’t understand why he was comfortable awkwardly waiting outside. Just a dude by himself outside a lingerie store seems weirder for him

When my GF will go into a clothing store or whatever to peruse I'll just wait outside but I'll tell her and she prefers it. It's not so much that I'm embarrassed to be in there but I have no opinion on or interest in the stuff she's shopping for so it's better for me to wait patiently for her outside rather than looming around bored out of my mind.

hosed around: AITA for ignoring father's demands to apologize to obnoxious farmer neighbors? quote:I [18f] live with my parents, and we moved last year away from a big city to a cheaper more rural community in the Midwest, since my dad's retired now and money goes further here, to finish up my last year of high school. We have by far the smallest lot out here, but most of our "neighbors" are farmers with quite a bit of land. Found out: quote:I was starting to hope maybe he wouldn't follow through on the threat, but the pigs arrived a couple days before the Easter weekend. Not 200 as we feared (I think that's just the legal limit, not how many he ever said he would get), but certainly more than a few, I'd say around the 75-100 range.
