kdrudy posted:Family pride based in the virginity of their children, loving insane poo poo. Never return. Of their 23 year old male child no less. (I know, gender doesn't/shouldn't matter. But to your hosed up homophobic traditionalists like this it certainly seems to.) I lost my virginity at 21. And that felt late to me. I never told my parents about it. but more importantly, my parents would never have dreamed of announcing and/or bragging about my virginity status to family members or friends. Even if she assumed her unmarried 23 year old son was a virgin, that would just be the bog standard willfull ignorance of the traditionalist. But to brag about it in public to Aunt Edna at a family function is properly crazy. And a slightly unrelated detail. If the family are that controlling/conservative/religious/traditional, then why did they let him off the leash to spend 6 months off on his own in another country, (Russia?) I'm surprised they let him get a view of the world outside. Or at 23, haven't tried to marry him off yet to a suitable young woman, (also a virgin).

I'm Jewish so I always knew that Santa wasn't real.  But I married into a Christian family and their Christmas tradition is that they pretend like they're still trying to keep the secret under wraps, even though for the longest time nobody in the family was under 25. It's absolutely not a serious thing, it just results in silly situations each year where I'll pull something out of a stocking and it'll be like Oh, this is awesome! Thank you, <wife's name>! (gives me a look and loudly and exaggeratedly clears her throat) Er uh, I mean, thank you Santa!There's a baby nephew on that side of the family now though, so I'll have to start being a bit more careful

Modal Auxiliary posted:Came here to say the same thing. And if for some reason you don't wanna spring for a hotel for whatever reason, they have a ton of obscenely comfortable furniture in quiet locations for you to nap on. I would say that in order to nap, you either need to be somewhere safe (so no one's gonna walk off with your stuff) or have a way to secure your stuff, or be traveling with someone so the two of you can trade off guard duty. Modal Auxiliary posted:Holy poo poo that's a lot of words just to say "I'm aggressively vanilla". The way she built it up I was expecting way worse than a mild humiliation fetish. Dude sucks more, but they both seem pretty annoying tbh. Honestly, I wouldn't call it "aggressively vanilla" to be uncomfortable with your partner bringing up a kink they want to play out, when they're bringing it up during sex. That's a massive red flag for me, because it's very hard to switch from sexy times to negotiating consent and boundaries, and because you're already not thinking clearly by that point. If you can't bring it up when we're both sober, dressed, and not even considering sex at that second, then it's not ever happening. blackmet posted:I dislike her writing style. Yeah, they're incompatible and her writing style really is kind of obnoxious, but I dislike him more. I get the feeling that if he hadn't just been springing it on her - like "hey, I'm into latex lingerie, do you want to try that? We can find you something you're comfortable in" instead of "...oh, you went with normie lingerie, that's. That's nice, you tried. Anyways, I'll get you pleather and it shouldn't matter if it isn't comfortable as long as it makes me happy" and "so, I have a humiliation kink and I like being dominated in the bedroom" instead of springing that mid-coitus - she would've been willing to try. I think her reluctance with the latex was that it's actually physically uncomfortable to wear if you're not prepared and it's a higher barrier for entry and trying it on than lingerie you can get at a Spencer's. DiomedesGodshill posted:Jesus Christ that seems fast. It is! Her friend who was warning her about him lovebombing her wasn’t wrong. Desert Bus posted:She should have had security to block him. She probably told them to if he showed up late, but he argued his way past and they couldn't go ask her if she was really sure because she was walking.

This sounds like the closest we will get to a Dothraki wedding. I wish I could have seen this. As long as the cow was okay. AITA: my cousin wants to bring a surprise baby to my baby shower quote:My cousin texted me a week ago telling me that he had a baby that no one in our family knows about. He said he’s bringing it to my wife and my first baby shower and can’t wait for everyone to meet her. (He hasn’t even told anyone she exist) I at first was excited but then was confused why he’s waiting until our baby shower to tell everyone when the baby is 2 months old. My wife hasn’t said she’s upset but I know the baby shower should have all the attention on her and our future baby. Am I an rear end in a top hat if I ask him not to bring her? AITA - wife's parents passed away and she wants a 6th child to help with grief quote:As the title mentions, my wife's parents passed away 3 years apart from each other with the most recent in 2022 when my wife was 36. Since her parent passed in 2019, she has mentioned wanting another baby to help with the grieving process and focus her love. I have been on the fence and we have gotten to a point of potential divorce as a result. Cowslips Warren fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Nov 12, 2023 |

Guildenstern Mother posted:assaulted a cow how exactly The venue was a large marquee looking out onto fields full of cows. They decided to test their strength against some cows, caused a minor stampede in the dark and one of the cows broke a leg running into a shallow stream. Given that they are minor celebrities and it was rural Ireland I imagine some money changed hands with the farmer and everyone was happy in the end except that cow,

Cowslips Warren posted:This sounds like the closest we will get to a Dothraki wedding. I wish I could have seen this. It was kind of depressing to be honest. My overwhelming memory of the event was a bunch of drunk idiots and bitter people arguing with each other, dredging up old hatreds, followed by the very loud sound of a cow in considerable pain. Then the police turned up and everyone just decided the night was hosed and went home early. Similarly the riot police one. Hope you enjoy giving witness statements (nobody saw poo poo of course) into the early hours of the morning while slowly sobering up. So at my own wedding; strictly none of the fightin' irish invited (and they were pissed off, but gently caress em), bunch of sober ushers to wrangle the drunks, free bar, amazing food, DJ, free shuttle bus back to the city, everyone had an amazing time and absolutely zero drama.

Baron Zephyrus posted:I mean, he was right to do it, NTA and all that. But. Jesus loving wept. What a hive of hypocrites. Preaching about the Anti-Christ and the supposed evils of homosexuality and premarital sex, but are Catholics that don't hold confessions as confidential? I think the term for it is sacrament? I don't know a lot about Catholicism (even my dad distanced himself from it around the time he married my very-not-Catholic mom) but I do know at least two things about it over the Protestant versions of Christianity I was raised in: You fast for Lent and that Confessional is immutably sacred no matter what was said. This stood out to me so starkly that I had to reread the rest of the post to remember the other reason I was mad. Yes, breaking the Seal of Confessional is an immediate Excommunication. Like, go to the bishop and if the priest is still there 2 weeks later you write to Rome and explain it to him: Cardinal Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, SJ Congregation/Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith Piazza del S.

He first mentioned he liked lingerie (whether during sex or not it's not said), she bought some lingerie and wore it, and then quote:After my newly dressed derriere’s debut, morning coffee went like this: “I really appreciate you hearing me, but that’s not really the kind of lingerie I’m into. … Have you ever thought about latex?” After this talk they continued the relationship on for a bit and he did bring up the "how am I a disappointment" question during sex, which presumably might have been part of his kink, but the original conversation didn't take place how you seem to have imagined it to go in your head. As for my take on the article, aside from the author being insufferable, I was really expecting something... well, more interesting, I guess. All that writing and lead-up to just be a generic sexual incompatibility basically, and not even with a really out-there kink.

AITA for telling the mailbox store attendant to go home?quote:My partner and I rent a box at a nearby mailbox store. We do this so that we have a safe place to have packages delivered to, without either of us needing to be home to take delivery or risking theft of packages left at the door. We typically pick up the delivered packages on Saturdays. The mailbox store is open until 3PM on Saturdays and is closed on Sundays. The store is about a 6-8 minute drive from our house.

But I have liked him for a while, he is always so much fun to be around and we've had some good deep convos over the years. I was very happy when we started seeing eachother romantically, and everything has been going really well so far. c'mon babe, this is fancy feast. it's not like i'm feeding you some meow mix bullshit

Foo Diddley posted:AITA for not wanting to eat cat food? This is reminiscent of a story I heard a stand up, or maybe it was a soap actor or some other minor celebrity, tell on a talk show once. His family had immigrated from Lebanon when he was a small boy. So his mum didn't speak English that well. At the supermarket one day she saw these big bags of "meat", that were cheaper than what she was used to finding. So she bought it for her family. No complaints, no problems, and she just cooked it as she would any other self respecting Lebanese housewife. And all was well. Until one day years later, when he went shopping with his mum, and having grown up in Australia, he spoke English fluently. And saw that the sacks of "meat" that his mum was buying, and that he, his father and sisters had been eating for years, were actually dog food.

Serving cat food with the justification that it's the best economical decision from someone that earns a lot, sounds like some kind of gold digging test and you should dump him. Like if the food itself tasted fine I wouldn't be bothered since it's generally not going to especially bad for humans (compared to some of the fast food we eat) or anything.
