mystes posted:I guess technically but actually cheating because of an angry comment in red sharpie seems pretty dumb We only have his side of the story, but it sounds like he wants both of them to be happy while she wants him to be miserable. Frankly, if your partner can't talk to you about an issue without you having a screaming meltdown, you don't have the moral standing to demand honesty or forthrightness on that issue.

The post said she said she didn't actually read it.

even if it was indeed caused by an STD, how in the gently caress do you interpret the OP politely alluding to it as slut shaming

Halloween Jack posted:Again, you're talking about honest communication with someone who throws a tantrum whenever the subject comes up. At a certain point he has to either accept that or divorce her and they clearly should have already divorced a long time ago. No matter how gently he worded it, the letter had to have been saying something like "I can't be in a relationship with you if you won't have sex with me" because that's literally the whole issue

Shanghaied posted:While all of that might be true, we also allow 20-year-olds to vote, drive, smoke, drink, sign contracts, and consent to medical procedures. And I'm not sure I would want to see the legal age on all of those things raised. I'm around 20-year-olds all day every day (I'm a teacher), I know first hand that you're not a full adult at 20 ("you had three weeks for the assignment, plan better jfc"). But I don't think it's feasible or desirable to protect them paternalistically until they're 25 or whatever. It's anecdotal, but I've also noticed a huge difference in people in their early 20s depending on their life. I teach trades and I get a lot of folks who don't gel with academia, farm kids and the like and the responsibilities of their daily lives makes them much more mentally mature than some of the ones I've seen who have studied while living at home. A mid 20s woman with a child, working in a manual job as a supervisor, is absolutely a grown adult capable of managing their life.

The difference between someone who has only studied and someone who has worked a couple of years can be very noticeable, even when both are under 25 and only differ a couple of years in age.

Also a "crush" doesn't really mean poo poo. Ask them out or don't, but you can't call dibs on a person when said person is not even aware of your feelings.

mystes posted:NTA for not being happy with a relationship without sex if OP wants a relationship with sex but YTA for having an affair. Do couples therapy or sex therapy or just divorce but don't stay in the relationship and have an affair and rub it in your wife's face. I don't count it as an affair if you have written permission from your spouse. Which he did. Written on the letter where he begged her to "do couples therapy or sex therapy", so ah 2/3 of those options there were already ruled out. If you do something your spouse literally wrote a permission slip for, I think you're NTA. Dude needs to divorce for his own sake, but I won't hold it against him that he did exactly what his wife requested.

That's not really a permission slip. That's venting in written form. That's something you would need to have a conversation about.

I'm NTA for dude in this story. I think I'd be on his side even without the note. At a certain point I think you lose the right to get mad about someone having sex if you do not want to have sex with them. "Stay sexually faithful to me, I will never have sex with you again" is an unfair demand. The answer, of course, is divorce.

It was a '79, nothing of value was lost. Height of the dog years for Fender. Did her a favour getting rid of that boat anchor. (It's pretty hard to break a guitar beyond fixing without running it over with a large truck. Tell her to get it repaired and then you'll unfuck her crush)

Even if it's a first act with rusty tuning pegs it's still the grampa guitar so you gotta respect it as a memory. Imagine getting propositioned "My sister likes you but she broke my guitar. Wanna gently caress to make her feel bad?" and you're a 19 year old boy. I suspect you hear exactly two words in the proposition.
