"So yeah, we should take a break. Boarding, no time to explain. Bye!"

Shanghaied posted:Just gonna tell my GF that if she sees that I'm wearing my watch on the outside of my wrist, then our relationship is progressing as normal. But if I turn the watch to the inside of the wrist then we're on a break, and she can't get mad if I sleep with someone else. I can turn the relationship on and off at will, but I'm not being selfish, she can sleep with other people too when it's off! Telling my GF we're together while my ship has white sails and broken up while it has black sails. During my trip I can blacksail all over and sleep with whoever I want, and then I can whitesail home and she'll be none the wiser. It's foolproof, as long as I remember to switch back to white sails before coming home it can't possibly go wrong.

You have to be really, really certain that your partner is a doormat before pulling a stunt like that, and in that story the partner is not only not-a-doormat, but seems to possess the Spirit Of Pete. A rather astonishing misreading on the part of the (now ex) fiancee.

big mean giraffe posted:https://www.afar.com/magazine/another-us-airport-now-allows-non-ticketed-visitors-through-security Sounds like one of those "you technically can, but it's a giant pain in the rear end" things. You have to fill out forms and apply in advance, even if you have precheck you can't use it and have to go through the regular line with the naked picture machine, there are limits to the number of passes issued per day and what times they can be used, etc… Seems like of lot of extra frustration just to wait by the gate instead of a little further down the hall at baggage claim. e: Or maybe people just really want to have lunch at an airport restaurant where a burger and beer costs $40 The_Franz fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Feb 28, 2024 |

What are the odds that this is some cack-brained scheme by the old "college sisters" as some sort of relationship test? "Oh if you say you're on break but don't actually do anything you can see what kind of man he really is when you come back and do the grand reveal!"

AITA for rejecting my husband’s baby name suggestion?quote:I (27f) am pregnant with our first child, and we found out we’re having a girl. Naturally, my husband (28m) and I have been discussing baby names pretty much constantly. We’re sort of just throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks, and half the names we throw out are jokes. “Boot is a beautiful name for a baby girl ha ha ha” etc.

There have been a surprising number of stories posted in this thread about people nuking a relationship simply because they saw some idea on tiktok and try to do the relationship test IRL and they find out that tiktok is not a great source of ideas or philosophy This strikes me as one of those

titty_baby_ posted:my friend at UCLA said the worst thing he witnessed was a young women in a short skirt coming back from.a night out with a guy. At the street corner she holds on to him for support, reaches down to pull her underwear aside, and pisses right onto the curb, and then they walk off pretending nothing happened I watched my prom date do this to a tree. She then cried later, because one of our other friends got tagged for drinking. Poor kid who got tagged never really drank or did drugs due to his older brother OD'ing, but his hot prom date convinced him. The principle wouldn't let me take him home, and they called his parents. Lady goons, I would not recommend peeing in front of your date unless they request it.

As it is, man that's a horrible red flag of "you are assumed to be a mind-reader, and if you aren't it's your fault." There's no way that that doesn't crop up elsewhere in the relationship.

If you want it done right, but it needs to be done by somebody else, you aren’t allowed to complain on how they figure out what right looks like. You should embrace that in a partner! He is loving trying as best he knows how to!

WIBTA if I (24F) refused to let my dad (54M) move in with me for cheating?quote:My dad got caught cheating on my stepmom. It was bad too and he wasn't honest with me about it initially. I had to find out the truth from my stepmom. Anyways this is the 4th woman my dad has done this to and my mother was the 2nd. I still hurt for my mom because he converted for her and then reverted back to his original religion causing my mom to get removed from her family because she was married to a man who wasn't of the same faith as her. He knew full well that my mom would be removed if he did but still choose to. Anyways he continued to cheat on my mom until I was 14 then he left the house to go live with his mom so he could be with the other woman. This background is important to note because I had thought he had gotten better but after all this these negative feelings have resurfaced.

She still blew up the relationship herself, but she didn’t have the original idea.

The Maroon Hawk posted:the gently caress does this even mean There is an entire language of flower symbolism that was popular during the Victorian era. It is well-established in modern culture that a red rose symbolizes love, but back in ye olden times a yellow rose could symbolize a decrease in love or infidelity. A yellow hyacinth could symbolize jealousy, a yellow carnation was for disappointment, and lest we not forget the yellow chrysanthemum for slighted love. Giving one's partner a yellow flower could be akin to handing them a breakup note. The reddit OP is dating a Victorian ghost.

Keying in on 'only if i can show it to my mom'. That plus hiding the relationship for almost a year. Definitely feels like there's something unspoken going on where the girlfriend is being judged constantly by her mom (specifically, mom doesn't approve of BF and bludgeons her about it.) GF refuses to stand up to her mom, and is instead just dumping fault and blame on the BF.
