I remember posting a story itt about a woman who was paralyzingly anxious about being pregnant and wanting to abort (her husband basically browbeat her into getting pregnant) and you could tell by the replies which users were men--poo poo like, "Oh she'll be fine, pregnancy is temporary right?" and other retarded BS. LadyPictureShow posted:Found the drinking story. That's because she's hiding the bottle(s) in the toilet tank. My aunt used to do the same thing before my uncle divorced her.  E: Just saw it was an old one.

This is fair imo as long as you don't then spring a surprise on the father and expect a ton of child support and whatnot out of nowhere. But otherwise yeah.

I don't think there's any way to present a child support obligation to a guy that won't upset him. If you only tell him after the birth at least he won't badger you about aborting.

Before you scroll down to read this, please guess how accurate the title is as to what is the real problem. I (31F) absolutely hate my boyfriend's (33M) job and am giving him an ultimatum to quitRelationships submitted 2 years ago by throwaway093481 https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/45ccmt/i_31f_absolutely_hate_my_boyfriends_33m_job_and/ quote:My boyfriend and I live in a major city and he works at one of the hip, place-to-be-seen bars downtown. The appeal is not lost on me. He probably averages $21/hr when you include his tips and he works Thursday-Sunday, so he gets a three day weekend. He's worked there for a little over two years.

That seems kind of misandrous of you? Do you mean only in accidental pregnancy situations or... ? Also kinda funny considering the original comment in the quote chain; quote:That's like the fourth? post itt about a man deciding for the couple that The Child Will Be Kept and then being upset that their incubator is deviating from The Plan. It's so slimy and I really wish that abortions were not only easier to obtain, but that more women felt comfortable getting them.

My [29F] best friend [30F] of fifteen years is siding with the woman [30sF] who assaulted me at her bachelorette party this weekend. How do I move on? tl;dr I was assaulted at my best friend's bachelorette party this weekend and left with serious injuries including a broken wrist. My best friend has sided with my attacker because they are coworkers and she wants to "focus on the good and keep her career safe." I am devastated. Chloe and I have been best friends since seventh grade. We have been close the entire time and have considered each other sisters since our children were born one right after another. We have never had a significant argument and almost always see eye to eye. In the rare instance that we do disagree, we are excellent at communicating our problems and resolving them immediately. Chloe's bachelorette party was this weekend. There were about fifteen girls around the pool at the hotel and we were all having a great time. There was alcohol available but I can't drink in excess because of a health condition, so I had one mimosa early and called it a day. About an hour after the event started, Chloe's coworker Marissa arrived with her twelve year old daughter Daphne. Daphne was not invited; in fact, children were explicitly prohibited because of the nature of the event. Chloe is a very nonconfrontational person and the rest of us didn't want to sour the day, so we did our best to keep Daphne entertained. Because I was the only sober one, I ended up being the one that was looking after Daphne while her mother began to drink heavily so that she could "play catch up". While I was irritated, I didn't want to make a scene. At this point, it had been about an hour since Marissa and Daphne had arrived and I realized that Marissa had disappeared. I told Chloe that I was going to find Marissa because we were supposed to be playing drinking games and had a stripper planned for later, and those are obviously not activities that I wanted to be babysitting an uninvited minor for. Chloe agreed and I left the pool. I found Marissa in one of the cabanas at the complex's other pool with a man. I told her to finish up and come get her daughter because it wasn't my responsibility to babysit and she told me to gently caress off, a response that I was expecting given how drunk she was. I waited for Marissa outside of the pool to make sure she actually came and when she appeared again about fifteen minutes later, she was clearly angry. She crowded me back against the fence and started yelling at me to mind my own business. I told her that I had had every intention of not getting involved but that it wasn't my job to parent her child at my best friend's bachelorette party. That's about the last thing I remember. I must have triggered some deep seeded rage because the next thing I knew, I was flat on my back with people crowded around me. My ribs are deeply bruised, my face is rashed up from the pavement, and most seriously of all, my wrist is broken and will probably require surgery. Marissa left with Daphne before the police arrived and I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. This was two days ago. The police reports have been filed, DCF has been called by another member of our party because Marissa was slapping Daphne and pulling her hair on the way back to the car allegedly, and my life has been completely turned upside. My body feels like it was hit by a Mack truck. I cannot work (I'm a barista). I cannot clean my house or take care of my children or walk my dog. Worst of all, however, is how Chloe has responded to all of this. Not only has she treated my injuries as if they're not as serious as they are, she has sided with Marissa and agreed with her that I shouldn't have "gotten into her business," and that is wasn't my place to decide what her daughter did or didn't need. She's also gone on to say that she thinks me pressing charges is selfish and the fact that I would endanger Marissa's career over "a drunken spat" is ridiculous. Reddit, I don't know how to process this. My best friend has always had my back. She has always loved me and taken care of me. I am a clear victim here. Even if it wasn't my place to tell Marissa that she needed to watch her own child, attacking me is a crime and an insane response to being confronted. I know that this relationship is over. I know that the worst moment of my life is something that I'm going to have to remember without the knowledge that my best friend was there to help me through it. Every other girl that was there is on my side and completely in defense of me. When Marissa inevitably goes to jail for this, and subsequently loses her job, what do I do? I can accept my fault here. I should have put my foot down from the start. I shouldn't have confronted Marissa. I shouldn't have been alone with her after she had been drinking. Why is this happening? What happened to my sweet, gentle, kind best friend? Thank you.

I (22F) am in an interracial relationship with my bf (22M) and we have conversations that leave me disheartened about his views on race. So, I’ve known my BF since we were 15. We went to boarding school together and dated. We then broke up, went to different colleges, he transferred to mine for unrelated reason and we got back together. We have been going strong for a little over 2 years, but this issue has been bugging me for a long time. I’m Black and consider myself a very far leaning liberal. He’s White and is more in the middle aka he feels the need to play “devils advocate” when I talk about certain topics (trans rights, racism, economics). We live in the Deep South and I have had to face a lot of racism coming from a poor single mother house hold in a rural community. He grew up in upper middle class suburbia and from his own admission has never really had to think about race before we started dating in high school. So I just started a new job and am close friends with my boss. I wasn’t previously hired because our regional manager had an issue with how I formatted reports and other extremely minor criticisms that normally wouldn’t cost someone a job. She no longer works for the company, so he hired me immediately after she left. After taking this new position I have been told by 3 separate coworkers that they think she didn’t give it to me because I was black. Now, I am pretty sensitive about job discrimination because I have had a boss try to fire me because of it. And I’m not just saying this to cover my rear end. I’m a diligent worker, I’ve never been written up or given a formal complaint, and I have been steadily promoted in the field I’m in. When I told him about how upset I was that this might be the case his response was “this honestly reflects more poorly on your coworkers. This makes me think less of them than, (regional manager).Why would they tell you that?” For me it’s obvious why. I’m a hard worker and formatting errors shouldn’t prevent me from getting a job. They’re not instigating they’re informing me because she no longer works for the company so it’s not bringing any workplace drama. They brought it up independently in private, off the clock conversations we’ve had. Also, I told an anecdote about a racist thing my mother said about Cubans in Miami and he started playing “devils advocate” for her. I just don’t understand why. It’s my mother, she had a moment of ignorance, but it was still ignorance and she be recognized as such. You can’t go around stereotyping people based on limited knowledge and preconceived notions. I started grilling him about his comments and just he just said “IDK, I don’t know how to talk about these things.” It’s important that we do talk though! It’s concerning that he doesn’t get it. He doesn’t understand the value of information when I’m being discriminated against, or the fact that it’s totally unnecessary to play devils advocate when I’m having a personal conversation with him about racism. He hasn’t had to deal with it to the extent I have and instead of pursuing an open dialogue with me about race he prefers to not discuss it. It’s frustrating because that’s an option for him, but not for me. I mean, I’m still getting denied jobs in 2018 BECAUSE IM BLACK. I love him and I know he has a good heart but conversations like these make me question whether he’s really prepared to have a fully cohesive life with a black woman or have black kids. These conversations can’t be avoided. Any advice would be lovely : ) tl;dr: my boyfriend doesn’t understand the reality of the racism I experience and is still trying distance himself from those conversation. It makes me feel insecure in the relationship and I don’t know how to tackle it.

Guy (28m) I’m (27f) Seeing is going on trip with girl he used to sleep with. I (27F) have been seeing a guy (28M, let’s call him B) pretty seriously for about three months. Things are going great I really like him and haven’t had a connection like this in years. B has a lot of girl friends (mostly from work) and that has not bothered me until a few weeks ago when I found out he used to “be involved” with one of his closer girl friends (let’s call her G). This came out accidentally at a bar and I don’t feel like he was hiding it from me per se, but he probably would have rather I not know. As background, he’s a chef and the girl is a waitress at the same restaurant. They hang out one-on-one quite a bit and while it is not ideal, I can deal with that. Last week he told me that he was going on a trip with G, her friend, and her friend’s boyfriend to G’s family’s beach house and I cannot help but feel extremely uncomfortable with this. I voiced that I didn’t like the situation and even asked why I wasn’t invited and he avoided the subject and just tried to assure me that I could trust him and it was just a night to get away from the restaurant and that it’s just a friends trip. I have a tendency to over analyze and worry, so I’m trying to check myself before getting upset and giving up on this relationship. My biggest fear would be that I am being used (I make 2-3x more than him, so I pay for most things between us). I have a demanding career, so I don’t have time to get used and hurt down the road. I’m not sure if this is pertinent information, but I’ve been cheated on in the past so I do have trust concerns. Am I completely out of line to be upset by this? I know we’ve only been seeing each other a short time compared to someone he’s been friends with for over a year, but I can’t help but be unhappy with the situation. Is there anything I can say to him without making it seem like he’s choosing between me and G? TLDR: Guy I have been seeing is going on a trip with 3 friends, one of whom he used to sleep with. I am not being invited. Is it okay to be concerned? Should I be more vocal about my hesitations?
