He worked at some computer repair shop and said it wasn't his fault he was addicted because he had basically an unlimited access to it. I spent a summer painting fences on a farm but i didn't get addicted to huffing paint, so I'm not sure how valid of an excuse it is.

I really want to post a picture of the guy because if you saw him you'd go "yeah that looks like an IT nerd who huffs air and gets literally *word filtered*. But that's hella rude.

Provided that both statements were intended as jokes that is.

Yeah, neither person should have taken the other's comments seriously but to react so harshly to a comment mirroring her own is bad news. Its okay for people of either gender to have insecurities that they want their partner to be mindful of, but they need to communicate that properly and treat their partner equally. Its a bad idea to allow a dynamic where one person demands complete reassurance but is flippant with their partner's emotions to the point where they consider days of silent treatment to be an okay way for them to act but their partner making a weight joke to be crossing the line.

Stuff that's canned and under pressure often uses nitrous oxide or some other inhalant as a propellant so some dudes huff that poo poo from keyboard dusters or cans of whipped cream.

Canned air doesn't use nitrous, lol. They use some fluoroethanes as both the product and propellant. Most (all?) readily available ones have a nasty bitterant added to discourage huffing. If you flip a can of the stuff upside down, the product will come out in cryrofluid form. Useful if you want to cool small things down to -40C quickly. Remember to wash your hands after handling anything involved, though. That bitterant stays around and tastes really bad.

Whipped cream uses nitrous because it's super soluble in fats, and has a sweet taste. It makes much better whipped cream than anything else that's food safe, and close to the same cost. You can have some fun with it, but buying cans of whipped cream is about the worst way to do that.

Food products are going to use safe gases like CO2, N2O, or N2 as propellants. Non-food products use poo poo like butane, propane, and other volatile fluids that can be stored at low pressures.

Married With Kids = Few Blowjobs

quote:



I occasionally obsess over the subject of blowies in my life with my wife. Sometimes I'm OK mentally about the state of our sex and BJ life, other times I just randomly freak out and stew about it when I realize it may be stale and lame. Of course, I don't ever want to have to bring this up to her, only one good thing could come out of it but a lot of bad things can. Sometimes it just settles me down to get other feedback and just put a pen to paper about it.

As we're now in our mid 30s with 2 young children (been together total over 12 years) obviously sex and blowies aren't what they were in the first 6 months and even first few years of the relationship. Used to be more enthusiastic, now just kind of seems like maintenance sex every week or two...which is OK but is routine and sometimes a let down. Kind of like she's not really into it, just something to knock out on a weekend so nothing has to happen during the week...and of course this means even less blowjobs and no more swallowing or really even cumming in her mouth which is a big deal to me.

Now most of the time I've kind of taught myself this is the way it is now and to be a man and just deal with it. But other times, like my birthday recently going by without even a mention of a birthday BJ, I fall into these downward spirals of panic. As in OMG this is it, I'm never going to get to experience that ever again until I DIE. And the fact that I don't feel I can bring it up to her to talk in depth just makes my OCD worse. It's a scary proposition trying to talk and get EVERYTHING out on the table that's on my mind (graphic NSFW included), but since we're always busy and have like no time without sleep or distraction there really isn't a good way or time to bring it up. So I'm just in a mental holding pattern wondering what happened to the college girl that blew and swallowed me multiple times early on, but now has told me in recent past she doesn't like it and it's gross...and pulls her mouth off when I cum when a blowie does occasionally happen? That's such a letdown when the mouth comes off when I'm cumming, then it's just a handjob. I like handjobs too, but when I'm only afforded a few BJs per year I hate that that counts as one of my BJs when she just uses her hand to finish. So, I don't say anything about it and just grit my teeth and move on in life...she has her views and I hate the idea of her not doing it because she wants to do it, but because she thinks I'm making her. My feelings on it are the same, so I'm just missing it and the way it was early on.

My question is not how to get her to swallow (at least occasionally, if only once or twice a year)...I know she hates it and the way she acts she would be thrilled if my dick was never in her mouth again.

My question is how do I get over my need and desire for this? How can I make it go away so it doesn't depress the hell out of me periodically every year? I've looked all over the Internet for ideas and have been to a sex therapist by myself, but my need and desire for intimate and "hot" BJs isn't going away and still bothers me. My brain is spinning in an anxiety panic over the fact this is my life for the next 50 years until I die...from now on only experiencing maintenence missionary and her on top sex and that's really it from here on out.

She's not a real sexual person, so she's more than happy with our sex life. She only cares about missionary and her on top, doesn't even care for me performing oral on her...which I enjoy and am good at, but she just tells me she's never liked it done on her.

I get that real marriage and people are not like porn, but I just feel we could do more and it could be a bit spicier with the occasional swallow...I just have always found swallowing to be a big deal both for physical pleasure of finishing through the orgasim, and the psychological aspect too...as in WOW this woman is so into me! That's just my deal I guess.

Even the occasional facial would be super hot, as in showing she's really into it and spicing things up...but she is a million percent against facials so that won't ever be included.

LUFTHANSA YOU FUCKING DICKWEASEL
My [24F] husband [31M] of 3 years has suggested a threesome with his twin brother and I'm feeling flabbergasted.

quote:

I'll try to be succinct.

My husband and I have been married for 3 years, were together for 2 years before that. I'll call my husband Tom and his twin brother Dave.

About 6 months ago, I told my husband that I think I might be bisexual. His reaction was surprising, in that he responded by saying he was relieved that I felt I could tell him because he suspected he is also bisexual and has never felt ok telling anyone about it.

We talked about it a lot after that point and both came to the decision that we would like to try threesomes; one with another woman and one with another man. He asked me which I preferred to do first and I said I had no preference. He said he'd like to try with another man first and I told him that was fine by me.

Over the next few months we talked about it a lot and tried to come up with ideas for who we could ask to join us and what some good sites to find another person would be. After that we both got quite busy at work and put the idea on the back burner for a while.

Well, last night my husband bought it up again while we were cuddling in bed. He said he'd found someone. I asked him who and he said "Dave." I immediately went cold and felt very strange. I guess it showed because my husband said "Don't look so scared! It's not like me and Dave will do anything with each other! Just me and you doing stuff and him and you doing stuff and both of us doing stuff to you at the same time."

I was absolutely flabbergasted and had no idea what to say. I felt queasy and uneasy and really odd. I just lay there in silence, wishing my husband wasn't touching me. This is when he came out with the even worse part. "Me and Dave have been talking about it for months and he can't wait."

WTF?

I was so outraged and I felt so violated. Is it just me or do you not talk about stuff like a threesome with your wife with your identical twin brother?! I felt dirty and wished we weren't touching. A million thoughts and emotions were racing through my mind. I just didn't know what to do so I pretended I'd remembered I needed to be at work extra early the next morning for something and he seemed to buy it.

I'm at work now and in all honesty, the thought of going home is really messing with me. I feel disgusted by this and I don't want to go home and be embraced by my husband. Am I overreacting? I don't want to break up but I just feel so violated and freaked out. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

tl;dr: Boyfriend suggested 3some with identical twin brother; said they've been discussing it for months.


Me [31F] with my husband of 10 years [40M], he says I'm a bad mom and turning our son [9M] into a sissy and a coward because I won't let him force our son to play football in the fall. He's trying to force our son to play anyway.

quote:

I have to say that I'm really disappointed in how my husband has handled this situation. I knew that he was going to be upset that our son wanted to quit, but I never expected him to get so upset to the point where he would say I'm turning our boy into a sissy and get angry with me for supporting our son's decision not to play football.

What I tried explaining to my husband was that the whole reason our son wanted to quit was because of him and the way he acted last year (not that his behavior in the years leading up to it was much better), not because our son didn't like football.

Last year he decided it was time for our son to get serious about football after playing for several years, so he made our son practice for over 20 hours each week outside of the practices he had with his team, which doesn't have to be bad, but he always went to the extreme and would force him to practice drills until he was satisfied which was almost never. I don't know of any other parent from my son's team that made their kid practice even half as much as my husband did. It didn't help that he yelled and screamed at him the entire time they were doing these practices just like he did when we went to our son's games. It got so bad at certain points that some of our son's coaches had to tell him to calm down or they were going to ask him not to come back to the games. He would literally pull our son off the field to tell him to play better because he was letting us down.

I tried my best to get him to change, but he's always been horrible when it comes to our kids and sports but especially football. He thinks he is right and the rest of us are wrong, so he won't listen. I figured that at some point one of them would want to quit, so I wasn't surprised when our son told me he didn't want to play this year. I supported his decision, but his father has lost his mind. He keeps telling him that he will play regardless and has told me I am a bad mom for letting our son turn into a coward and a wimp. He also told me that I betrayed him by not supporting him over our son with this decision.

I don't know what to do about my husband. He has already registered our son, and he seems determined to go down this path. I honestly wonder if he's having a mental breakdown. He's never been so disrespectful or said some of the crazy things he has about this and how our family has stabbed him in the back and turned people against him. It makes me afraid that he might actually resort to physical force if our son tries to resist playing this fall, and I don't know how I can stop my husband. He won't listen to me or our son, so what can I do? I've told our son he doesn't have to play, but I'm having second thoughts over whether that is a good idea given how his father has been acting.

tl;dr: My husband has completely lost it after our son told him he didn't want to play football in the fall and I supported our son's decision. He told me I'm turning him into a sissy and am a bad mom and partner for forcing him to play football. He's signed our son up to play and won't listen to me. I don't know what to do to get him to stop this.


My [26 F] fiance [28 M] of three years cheated on me, unprotected with someone he met on Tinder. We have two kids [1, 6], I feel sick.

quote:

I am going to be brief because I don't really know what to say.

My fiancé, Ben and I have been together for three years. We have a 1 year old and a 6 year old (my bio child from a previous relationship, although he agreed to raise him like "his own"). Last year we moved across the country for his job. It was three weeks after having our daughter and I was severely depressed. We had no support system and finding childcare was extremely difficult, as we were living in the middle of a "tech boom city". We originally planned for me to start working after 3 or 4 months, but with the cost of rent and the cost of day care we couldn't afford for me to go to work.

My fiancé makes significantly more than me. Before, we would split bills 60/40 and never had fights about money or money problems. Since, we moved away immediately after having baby, I had to start from scratch with looking for a position that paid well enough to make sense for our family. I did odd jobs here and there (editing, writing, virtual admin work) and eventually landed a position as a graduate research assistant with a university student. I was not in school at the time, but it worked it. In fact, I still do this part-time, from home.

I have a history of bipolar II disorder and did not find meds that I felt were safe for breastfeeding, so i often found myself rapid cycling. I'd like to note that I am a very "functional" depressed person. I cooked, cleaned, did laundry, shopped for groceries, did play dates and extracurriculars all on only 4 hours of sleep a night. I also helped him with his work.

When I first noticed the depression, our youngest was a week old and he didn't seem to take me seriously. He told me to "suck it up" most times. Other times, he seemed supportive. Ultimately, he ended up bashing me for having mental illness and not "providing for the household". These conversations resulted in a major altercation where the police were called (by me, for fear of me getting too out of control). He was arrested (but not charged), although I was very honest about both of our responsibility in the fight. I was naive and just wanted to make it stop.

He decided he would not sign a new lease after that incident and that we should physically split in order for me to work on my impulsivity. The move happened in May. We agreed to maintain the relationship long distance for 4-6 months (with me in a different state, a 2 hour flight away), by us seeing a couple's therapist, him visiting every two weeks, and me seeking a psychiatrist and continuing individual therapy.

At the end of June, he started to get weird. He would lash out at me about money and berate me for having a mental illness, saying things like "who cares, money has to be made still". We agreed that I would get a full-time. He would also go hours without responding to calls or messages, even when we had scheduled bed time video chats for him to say good night to the kids.

I eventually asked him was he seeing someone else. He said "i'm too lazy for that." Turns out he had met a woman on tinder, dated her for 3.5 weeks, had unprotected sex with her and spent nights with her. He denied everything, even lying and saying she was a new co-worker when he had in fact met her online.

Last night, I messaged her because he wouldn't come clean. She told me everything and now I feel sick. I haven't eaten or had water all day and I don't know where to go from here. He did not use a condom and he never mentioned having a family. She was so upset that she flamed him and blocked him.

He had just begged me to give him 10 days to make changes needed for the relationship, so I'm totally confused about everything. I had asked him several times if he wanted to call it quits. Why did he do this to me? Sigh. I'm getting tested for STDs tomorrow.

Even after she came clean, he denied it for hours. He finally confessed and flew back to his place this morning. I don't know how I'll raise two kids alone. He and I were best friends when he wasn't being crazy to me.

I know it's all over the place and I don't know what I'm looking for, but writing has already helped a bit.

TL;DR" Fiance cheated on me with woman he met online, didn't use a condom and lied about everything. I don't know how to move forward.

edit: spacing

edit: in her long message she noted that he had made plans to go to a concert with her in october. i'm not sure how when he was applying for jobs here in preparation for us moving in together again. he also told her he had been single for months and was "out there all alone".

edit: i should also add that he compares me calling the police with him knowingly putting me at risk of contracting a possibly incurable STD. He says he "could have died" while in custody, but refuses to take accountability for his role in the situation which usually leads to him gaslighting me.

Found this one before bed last night but I'd already posted like three things in a row so here it is now

Me 24F, with my boyfriend of 1 year 29M. He is afraid of me.

quote:

Mike and I have been together for a year, living together 5 months. They have been great - he's really sweet, we get along well, my family loves him. The only thing is, I think he has serious anxiety because he seems genuinely scared of me.

We haven't even gotten into a real fight, but he always seems like he's walking on eggshells around me. He apologizes preemptively for things that make no sense and wouldn't be his fault anyway. He constantly says "If that's okay with you?" over really minute, unimportant things, and he says it like I'm going to backhand him if the answer is no. I have never in my life raised my voice at anyone, let alone him. I am 5 feet tall and I weight less than 100lbs. I have checked with friends, and nobody understands why he would be afraid of me - I don't have a temper, I don't yell, I don't erupt over nothing. But yet, Mike cowers and turtles around me if he perceives that I might get even the slightest bit annoyed with him.

I have tried to talk to him about it, and he insists nobody did anything to him to make him like that; nobody beat him or abused him. But it just doesn't make sense to me.

The thing that gives me pause though, is that when he legitimately does do things that I should get mad about, he says I'm "always angry at him", which makes absolutely no sense! One time he smoked while out with friends after telling me he quit and lied to me about it. The other time we were planning a party and he asked if I could "invite more girls". And when I got upset and he said that was just his old single self coming out. But I couldn't really get upset because you would have thought I was waiving a shotgun at him with how he cowered after I got angry.

All this makes me wonder - if it is really anxiety, or is it manipulation? Does he treat me like a crazy abuser so that if he really does do something bad, he can say "See you're always mad at me"? What's going on here? Edit I forgot to add, whenever I do get annoyed at something, he also develops stomach aches. Without fail, every single time there has been a serious conversation, he gets a stomach ache.

TLDR: My boyfriend acts like he's afraid of me and that I'm some crazy domestic abuser, even though I could not be more meek and polite. Is he super anxious - or just manipulative?

My diagnosis is a nasty case of resting bitch face

I [24M] don't know if my yearlong relationship with [23F] can survive sexual revelations


I'm [24M] and have been going out with Susan [23F] for about a year. Up until the incident I'll discuss here I thought we had a great relationship. We were really comfortable with each other and I really liked her. The issue now is that I still want these things to be true but I'm not sure how to make them be true, if that makes sense.
We have been sexually involved for most of our relationship. Truth be told the sex was very vanilla and there were times it was boring. People here will probably tell me I am an idiot for feeling this way but I was genuinely okay with the arrangement. I could definitely trade sometimes boring sex for a great relationship.

About a week ago Susan must have been looking for some spice because she suggested that we share our fantasies or kinks or whatever. I was okay with this but after she brought it up she got a little cagey and suggested that we use a kink-matching app rather than share directly with each other. I agreed and soon we each filled out the form. Just for context here how this thing worked was it had a bank of fetishes that each partner would separately choose to indicate that they had an interest in them. Then, the program gathers the results and only shares the ones you have in common. I guess the idea is if one person is into poo poo and the other person isn't the scat person can share without fear of judgement.

Anyways what happened was I filled out the thing and as a joke clicked that I liked "puking". I will openly admit that this was dumb but I was banking on the 99.99% chance that Susan was not into puking and I didn't consider what would happen if she was. Well...she was. She looked at her report first and burst through my door like totally elated and hugged me. I didn't realize what was happening until she was whispering that she loved me and was so excited, etc...and then she says that she was so glad I liked puke too. She also said that she felt really lucky to have had two guys in her life who were into the puking, so she must have been engaging in that behavior with some other boyfriend.

I had no idea how to react so I was just like ",,,oh..." but in the back of my mind I felt like something had changed. I broke her the news that I had selected "puking" as a joke and I apologized for disappointing her. She was really broken up about it and started regretting the whole issue, wishing she had never brought it up. She got a little resentful that I had joked about something like that but I apologized more and just didn't know what to do.

Since that incident I just feel like I am drifting away from her. I know it's irrational but I just can't help picturing her...puking...on other dudes or getting puked on or whatever. I know I shouldn't shame her kinks or whatever but this is just too weird, too extreme. I really want to be in love with her because but I don't know how to deal with this issue. Help?

tl;dr Gf and I shared kinks, I jokingly selected puking as one of mine but it turns out she selected it genuinely. I'm not sure how to deal with the knowledge now. Anyone else deal with similar issues?

I don't personally have any memory of this, but yes that is the kind of thing that would happen

Anyway here's some wish-fulfillment fiction

My wife [28f] and I [31m] have a huge crush on her best friend [31f]. She is head over heels for us too. What the heck should we do?

quote:

There is a lot of love and romantic feelings between my wife and I and her best friend. We are all really close and love spending time together. There is a lot of flirting and it's making us all quite giddy and happy.

The problem is that we are all kind of being chicken about what to do next. My wife and I have talked openly about boundaries and are pretty confident about possible sexual situations. The friend is flirting with us both a lot, and we all get really horny hanging out together sometimes, but no one is outright saying "we should all have sex" because it's sort of awkward and being vulnerable is tough sometimes.

Another thing is that these feelings aren't just sexual (although that's a driving factor for sure.) We drank wine together one night and "joked" about what it would be like for the three of us to sort of be married and raise children together. We even "jokingly" made a plan about buying land and starting a small farm where we could raise kids happily, with privacy. (We are all skilled people, intelligent, educated, and hard working, good jobs.) We even all agreed on what is important in family life and how to raise children properly. My heart was swelling with love and my wife felt the same. This fantasy has been sitting with us all and it's really exciting.

I know that part is a pipe dream and questionable from a legal perspective.

What I'm wondering is, what the hell do we do about these feelings? I didn't really know that romantic love could be between three people like this and never expected to find myself in this situation. Sure I've fantasized about threesomes and my wife has too, but this is different. Should we just try to stay friends? Should we have fun, sexy times together with an agreement that it's just sex? Should we make a non-conventional family and really make a go of it?

Just a little more info: Wife and I are very open and honest about pretty much everything. She is bi and I'm straight. We have similar taste in women and have a lot of fun checking them out. We get along really well, have thoughtful discussions instead of arguments. We are both very confident and secure in ourselves and our relationship.

TL;DR: Wife, her bff, and I all have strong, romantic feelings for each other. It's really fun and exciting, but we are unsure what the heck to do about it.

Meanwhile this next one seems like it could be the usual Reddit pandering, but surprisingly the OP is not a throwaway account and has a lot of posts about other stuff (and at least one other r/relationships post about her mom) so if it's a gimmick they're fairly invested in it.

My [17/f] ex-girlfriend [17/F] is a political lesbian.

quote:

I found out today that my ex-girlfriend (let's call her Anna) is a political lesbian. We broke up a few weeks ago due to my own mistakes, and we had been together for about 5 months. She was my first real relationship. After we broke up, and had a cooling off period, we decided to still stay friends because we still have a lot in common. We still text sometimes, if I have something funny to show her, but our friendship mainly just consists of liking each others tweets. I was on her twitter today and saw she had changed her bio; in it, in a roundabout way, she stated she was a political lesbian.

For those not in the know it was a movement started up by radical feminists in the 1960s, basically telling women to stop sleeping with men and start sleeping with women as a way to defy the patriarchy. They wanted them to dump their men and either become celibate or sleep with women. Any woman who didn't do this wasn't a feminist, and was aiding in misogyny. Whilst some political lesbians today are lesbians who just appreciate the ideaology, my understanding is that many are actually straight women who sleep exclusively with women to piss off men. I believe that Anna is one of these.

Now I cannot stand political lesbianism. It perpetuates the belief that gay people are gay due to a choice, as well as the stereotype that all lesbians hate men. I think it's misandrical (is that even a word?) and just plain wrong. I've had troubles with coming to terms with my sexuality, and I'm not sure where I fall on the spectrum even now. For her to just play with me like that rubs me so many wrong ways.

I am honestly heartbroken that it seems like Anna and I's relationship was just a way for her to get back at men. It makes me feel that my entire first proper relationship was a complete sham. I had been in one before, when I was younger, but it was long distance and didn't feel as real as this one did. I feel like I've been used in some way.

I really want to confront Anna, and ask her whether or not what we had was real, or whether she was just using me to prove a point, but I really do not know how to go about it. I'm not great with confrontation at all, and this is a delicate subject. I don't want to go in all guns blazing accusing her of stuff for it not to be true. Please help me.

TL;DR: My ex girlfriend is a political lesbian, and I'm trying to figure out whether or not what we had was real. I want to confront her but I'm not sure how.

Found this one before bed last night but I'd already posted like three things in a row so here it is now

Me 24F, with my boyfriend of 1 year 29M. He is afraid of me.


My diagnosis is a nasty case of resting bitch face

Eh, her friends should have smoked that out if it was just RBF. I'd tag this as 100% his mother's fault short of there being an ex who hosed him up that he doesn't talk about.

I feel like the 3some with the twin brother is like the easiest loving thing and am baffled why the chick feels weird. Just get high and like pretend you're in the twilight zone and he's a clone

Puke fetish is a thing. It's called "Roman Showers" why wouldn't it be a fetish?

Most of the time I glaze over the titles and don't notice the ages of the people involved in these stories and think, "man, teenagers have it rough these days". Then I'll scroll up and see most of these people are over 25 and then I get sad

Like a fist wrapped in blood...
Yeah, someone jerked off to his internal fantasies while writing that up. "This hot woman is totally into a threesome with my wife and I, and my wife is totally into it too? How do I proceed from here, reddit??"

Late to the party, but they actually put bittering agents in aerosol cans to prevent huffing. Like canned air has it in it.

I love all these poly relationships where old school cheating on the DL would be the more decent thing to do.

Cheating would require them to have too much respect for their partners feelings.

Just like Mama used to make it!
I guess this story fits here.

A guy I used to work with started dating a girl and pretty soon she said she was pregnant. The guy took responsibility and really got into it including posting the ultrasound picture in his cube. I'm not sure of all the details but his parents really questioned the timeline and thought that this girl was just using him because he had some money. He refused to accept this and fought with them quite a bit.

One day I notice that the ultrasound picture was no longer up so I asked him what happened, thinking maybe she miscarried or something. Turns out they had an argument over something and she let is slip and the kid was actually her ex boyfriend's. She found out she was knocked up early in the relationship but never told anyone.

I dunno man, I get that, she was probably expecting someone he'd get sexy with as well, instead he's basically going to be sharing her with his twin. That wasn't really what she signed up for.

quote:

About 6 months ago, I told my husband that I think I might be bisexual. His reaction was surprising, in that he responded by saying he was relieved that I felt I could tell him because he suspected he is also bisexual and has never felt ok telling anyone about it.

quote:

He said he'd like to try with another man first and I told him that was fine by me.

quote:

I immediately went cold and felt very strange. I guess it showed because my husband said "Don't look so scared! It's not like me and Dave will do anything with each other! Just me and you doing stuff and him and you doing stuff and both of us doing stuff to you at the same time."

Hello Bastards.
This man sounds crushed.

My wife got a giant tattoo of my face.

quote:

posting on Reddit because I'm completely at a loss. I love my wife, we have a great relationship and I haven't seen any red flags of crazy until tonight. I'm flabbergasted.

My wife works as a server at a popular chain restaurant and I work as a lower level manager at a small faith based organization (don't want to reveal anything identifying on here, but suffice it to say my wife's work environment is more accepting of tattoos than mine). We've talked about our shared appreciation of tattoos before, but my wife only has a small turtle on her ankle she got in college, and I don't have any yet because I didn't have the money for the sleeve I want until I took this job and now I can't have anything visible. Anyways, we both like them but my wife has only expressed wanting a tattoo of a dragon, lilies, an octopus, or other trendy designs. It's her body and I always encourage her to do what she wants and tell her I'd support her no matter what, because I thought I would. Now I wonder if I've led her on.

Our anniversary is tomorrow (Friday) and I made low key plans for us to go out to dinner at her favorite restaurant, and bought her a bottle of her favorite cognac, Courvoisier. We usually celebrate by doing something romantic, and last year her gift to me was cooking lessons that we did together.

Tonight, she told me she had to stay late at work to cover someone's shift, so I didn't question it, and then she came home a few hours later (but earlier than a full shift, which was suspicious) but she was beaming. Apparently, she didn't even go to her own shift today because she spent her afternoon getting a giant loving portrait of my face on her upper thigh. It is well done but it still looks like a leather version of me covered in soot because that's how tattoos are, and it looks tacky as gently caress, not to mention creepy! She gave me no warning but she looked so happy and told me she planned it months in advance so she could "surprise" me and worked with the artist to do it all in one session, though she says it's still not finished. Why?? I am honestly so creeped out. I love her to death but I can't imagine what would compel a person to do this. I smiled and feigned liking it (because it's permanently etched on her body so what difference does it make now if I tell her I hate it? She can't get it removed, it's the diameter of a cantaloupe). I don't know what to do and I'm feeling 50 things at once.

What happens when somebody sees it? It's so embarrassing, and it's going to look like I branded my mark on her or something. Her parents are probably going to hate me, especially since I can't and won't reciprocate by getting a tattoo of her. What will our children think? We don't have any yet but we've been trying for a year and we both want them. Now I can't stop thinking about how humiliating it will be to go to an OBGYN appointment with her that we were planning for our conception issues and having a giant picture of my face on her leg. There are so many things that keep popping up. And why her leg?? How will I ever have sex with my wife again when I have to stare at my own face to do so?

More than anything, I feel so betrayed. Why wouldn't she consult me? It's her body but it's a photo of my loving face. She didn't even pick a photo I liked (not that that would have made it okay, but that's how detached she is from reality). This is not the woman I married and I don't know what to do. She's asleep next to me, thankfully wearing pants, and I've been up texting my friends for help. I want to call my parents but it's the middle of the night and I feel too humiliated. What do I do? How do I even bring this up? Does our marriage have some serious loving problems I didn't know about until today? We usually communicate so well and we're always on the same page. What the gently caress?

Tl;dr: My wife got a bigass tattoo of my face on her leg without telling me, expecting me to enjoy the anniversary surprise, but I just feel like I got hit by a truck. Where do I go from here?
