My [28M] girlfriend [24F] has a weird obsession and I don't know how to deal with it.
Okay, I know I'll probably get mocked, so let me just say that no, I don't think my girlfriend is some mystic being or whatever. I'm truly concerned.

My girlfriend, I'll call her Selene here, is amazingly sweet and gorgeous. She's very intelligent and also stubborn, sometimes to a fault. She hates feeling caged in and is free in every sense of the word, even to the point of telling me when we started dating that at the slightest hint of any kind of controlling behavior she'd leave and never look back. She felt the need to tell me that because her previous relationship had ended due to the guy freaking over jealousy. Like I said, she's gorgeous. People stop her in the street to compliment her, men and women stare. I'm not a jealous guy let alone controlling, so I don't mind. She's with me, she chose me, so I don't worry about that.

However, she is weirdly obsessed with water. I don't mean that in a 'oh yeah, she takes four showers a day and only drinks water.'

I mean, if she feels like it, she drives 20 minutes to the beach and spend the entire day immersed in the sea, swimming and floating away. Or she does the same thing in the tub, or the lake behind her mother's house, or the pool in our apartment. And that's not the worst part. Sometimes she closes her eyes, holds her breath and goes underwater and she can stay there for a while. When she comes back, she gets some air and then goes under again.

I'm always sick with worry because I don't know if she'll come back, what if she gets a cramp or something and I'm not there, what if she drowns.

Yesterday I was sleeping, woke up at 4 in the morning, found a note and then followed her to the beach. She was SWIMMING in the freaking ocean at 4 in the morning. Not only is that dangerous, but she didn't even stop to think about the kinds of lunatics that could be roaming around at that time, just waiting to attack her.

Not too long ago, she spent an entire weekend alternating between the ocean, being with me and then spending some time in the tub. She had breakfast and that was it.

I tried asking her why she liked the water so much and she shrugged and said she just felt good there, at home. I told her some of the things she was doing, like sneaking out at 4 in the morning was dangerous, she said nothing had happened and if something happens, then it happens.

I have no idea if this is a cry for help, if she truly loves the water so much or if she's depressed or something. I don't know, this is bizarre. I love her and I'm worried. What do I do? Does anyone have any ideas, does anyone ever went through this?

Our relationship doesn't really suffer because of it. She has a very high libido and it seems to increase whenever she comes back from her swimming or whatever. But some other things do end up suffering. She prefers to be alone and spend the day in the ocean rather than, say, hang out with some friends or watch a movie or something.

So really, if anyone has any idea why she's acting like this, any opinion, anything, please tell me.

tl;dr: Gf is obsessed with water, with being in the ocean. Help.

Passing on for someone else: their partner is developing an educational game on the fundamentals of quantum mechanics and is looking for feedback on who to market it to.

As a german guy who studied physics and plays boardgames i should be in their core, if very small, target group.

I forgot to write them in the survey but maybe pass on this: the actual mechanics and principles behind it are more interesting then popsci speculation of what technology might be possible, and would be better suited for a game.

Look at big boy there throwing a fit because of cost itemization practices.

I remember one time the cable people were like oh well fold the unit cost into the monthly payments, and I called the lady on the phone a cuck.

And she's like sir women aren't cucks when their husbands cheat on them, they just stay women.

And I was like that's a pretty solid paean to the women's experience in gendered society, but I still cannot loving permit this regular cost to be amortized out into my regular monthly loving payments, my lady.

She's like noooope. Also you have to pay costs that go towards our maintaining infrastructure for the entire cable network. And I was like no way I'm only paying toward service provision for cool dudes who like the same music and who have the same Pokémon as I, cool people I could hang out with buddystyle, and maybe have pizza.

And then was like noooope. Also she was the government and I had to press Spanish to use Arabic numerals.
