Space Camp fuckup
Aug 2, 2003

My wife and I are friends with a couple who've been married for 10 years and the husband came to the realization that he's bisexual. He told his wife that he'd never be happy unless he can explore that. He then kept bringing up to all of our friends that they were now in an open relationship (which isn't any of our business and we found it weird that he kept talking about it). It turns out that they in fact had not negotiated that. He cheated on her with some random dude in a bathroom at a bar and came clean to his wife when he realized he got an STD. He then immediately went on a ridiculous PR campaign trying to play the victim and when my wife and I were less than absolutely sympathetic he called us bigots and then accused my wife of trying to seduce him.

We're not friends with him anymore

My girlfriend: we’ve been together since September and she’s just awful. I was basically a shell of my former self when I met her, I’d been struggling with serious personal problems for about 2 years and finally got my head above water. Went from a homeless, broke addict to having an apartment and pretty decent Mercedes and a job I really love even if the hours aren’t great.

She’s just super terse and mean about everything. Most recent example is two days ago we get in the car to go out to lunch for date night. Starts to rain, she says to take her home because my windshield wipers are too squeaky and we’ll take separate cars. I ask why I can’t just ride in her car and she says she’d have to move some stuff. I sigh because that makes me feel pretty small and not worth it (you can’t just ask me to carry in the one bag of dirty clothes in your backseat?) so she just goes back to the house and I eat lunch alone. We didn’t talk for two days until she cooked me a nice dinner and watched a movie. This is her version of “working it out”.

The problem is that because of her parents (Rich Lebanese Catholics) she thinks this is normal behavior and because she’s insanely hot (she’s an honest to goodness lingerie model) and super rich she knows she doesn’t need me for anything, so if I ever try to talk about my feelings she just immediately jumps to “I’ll just move out!” which would mean I would also have to move and I just can’t afford it. I cope by just never bringing anything up and never pick fights and avoid her when she’s been drinking. It’s not that I’m unwilling to work on it, it’s that she is completely incapable of handling any sort of emotional responsibility. Even the most basic poo poo like “please don’t scream at me because my dog is barking” will cause full meltdowns. She throws screaming temper tantrums like a 5 year old if she spills or burns something, it’s pretty clear that her parents never hugged her or took care of her or taught her how to behave as an adult and her mother was so abusive I could literally write a book.

I basically just lock myself in my room until she feels horny or gets lonely and buys me a present, because that is her version of being nice to me. I never know if I’m coming home to a total nightmare or a home cooked meal and a blowjob, but I swear to god nothing I do matters. If I were a stronger man, more financially independent and not lacking in any self-confidence I’d bail and move in with some family but she’s going back to school in a few months and after that I’ll only see her on weekends a couple times a month until I assume she meets a hot college guy and ditches me, but who knows.

My mother and my brother and his wife all feel so bad for me because they see this women just breaking me down but the truth is, at least at this point in my life, I’d rather be in a lovely relationship than alone, and I genuinely think she loves me as much as she is capable of loving someone, I just don’t think it’s a whole heck of a lot.

Ha ha I could go on for pages but honestly I’m just grateful this thread popped up when it did. Feels good to scream into the void.

I was living in a Harry Potter Broom Closet in the crackhead side of town and she was looking for a house in the area. I understand how stupid it is, I assure you, but getting to take all my stuff out of storage and have a place to live was too amazing to pass up. My living space was such that I couldn’t open my door all the way without it hitting my bed, and to watch TV I had to mount it in my closet and push all the clothes to the side to watch it. Now I have a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment with a kitchen and huge living room for yoga and music and my animals have all the toys they can play with!

Edit: I guess it worth mentioning that we met at the dog park and her most attractive quality is how much she loves animals, but the more I spend time with her the more I realize that I’m just another rescue dog to her.

Yeah, the hell of it is that I would way rather be in a healthy relationship where we talked about our problems and resolved issues and came up with compromises. I’ve literally never been more willing to put in the work, because part of the reason I was alone and homeless was because I’d been such an abusive shithead in the past. No more drugs, therapy, medicine, I really feel like I would be like an amazing boyfriend to a normal person, but instead...

It’s 100% my choice to stay, I’m not trapped, I love her for what she is and not what I want her to be, but I’m not gonna lose a lot of sleep when she moves out (we don’t even sleep together at night, we just gently caress before and after work because our hours are very different). I guess the reason I think she likes me is because I’m just like funny and smart but otherwise have absolutely nothing to offer her financially or otherwise. If she doesn’t really like me then she just wants me as a sex slave who she buys video games for? Is that a thing?

Driving through Idaho I stopped at a gas station to use the restroom and grab some crumb donuts and chocolate milk because it's a good loving combo. Finish my business at the potty and the single sink is being used by an employee who is clearly not retarded but has some issues. 6 mins of waiting and I say gently caress it cause I'm not waiting around for this OCD maniac to finish up with his washing. I walk out and he yells at me to come back and wash my hands. He then quickly finished up so he could confront me. His breathing was quite heavy and all manner of foul when he cornered me by the pastries. Clearly this guy was on some prescription psych drugs so I politely told him no thanks. He then walked around and told every customer and employee that I didn't wash my hands. The manager came over and chewed his rear end; must not have been the first time. I kinda felt bad for him.

you really should be saving up to move out and just accept you might have a downgrade in living arrangements. It's better to be in a lovely apartment or room and be at peace than in that drama storm. Obviously you don't wanna go back to the crackhouse, but the anxiety and stress of a terrible home life can also push you to backwards even if you've got creature comforts
there are other attractive people who will gently caress you and not make you miserable

you can't pull a "lol I'm dating the worst person in the world and they make me miserable, but no really guys I love them for who they are!"

there's a manager at my current workplace that is a total small business tyrant, and every day I find out something new that makes me hate him more. Highlights:
-Revoked all remote-working/home office privileges for anyone beneath him, he of course spends less than 25 hours a week on site, the majority of which is in his office with the door closed. Fridays he 'works from home' but won't respond to any e-mails or resolve anything until monday if you don't cc the company's owner
-"Fired" multiple employees where he lets them know they've lost their job and this is their 2 week notice, but he might change his mind if they do good enough job in those two weeks. This tactic so far has only been used on very hard workers who are easily bullied and haven't called his bluff. He specifically won't use this on anyone who won't put up with his poo poo
-has given people retroactive paycuts to justify not giving raises or bonuses offered or owed but he failed to deliver
-docked an employee's pay for mistakes/misordered materials

I'm one of the few he hasn't hosed with too much since he got bumped over from sales, because he kinda realizes he's SOL and would have to do more work and also pay ridiculous contractor fees since I'm a very specialized worker. I'm on my way out at least, and have done my best to get other workers to at least apply elsewhere, but it really sucks for the floor workers/folks working at the very bottom since they're the most vulnerable and rarely have better work available. It also sucks for career people who joined up when it was a family business

managers are a useless class of people who would be better suited to replacing farm animals

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
My team lead, who is effectively a mouthpiece for our boss with no opinions of his own. Smart guy, but every suggestion, thought, or criticism is met with, "I'l have to run that one by the boss." None of the other leads have this problem, only him, and it's loving infuriating.
