My first guess here is she's a dancer or something? I don't know why though.
I'm going to guess comedy, maybe some kind of touring show? I worked for Second City in college and the comedians/everyone who worked there was evenly split between "horrible pile of autism who will never touch a member of the sex they are attracted to" and "everyone bones each other with maximum drama".

Being involved in burlesque and etc is the biggest loving red flag. Empowered my rear end. It is about seeking validation that you are sexually attractive. If you were in a happy monogamous relationship, why exactly would you need that?

I never thought I'd say this, but I agree with Pick. Chicks who get super into burlesque are sad and pathetic and looking for validation that they will never find.

Every time I see those libido mismatch/sex dysfunction posts, I always remember how with my ex I thought that I had had my libido worn down by depression and lady part surgery and hormones and whatnot.

And then we broke up and I realized that I did still really want to have sex, I just didn't want to have sex with his now-fat rear end anymore.

Yeah man. Try Land's End super Tees and whatever brand polos you can get without a logo. T shirts aren't super flattering to any body type that isn't jacked as hell anyway, and polos require exactly the same amount of effort as a T shirt except people will tell you how nice you look.

Dude, polos are the worst. Just buy plain, slightly fitted crew neck or v neck t-shirts in, like, black, grey and white to wear in the interim between your graphic t-shirt period and your evolution to wearing big boy shirts.

It amazes me that people get married before having conversations about finances. That poo poo is right up there with sexual compatibility and position on having kids as far as "know before getting married" concerns go.

Before I moved in with a guy for the first time, my mom told me to make sure we were on the same page with regards to sex and money and if we weren't to wait on moving in together until we were.

It's good advice.

Here's a /r/relationships post.

My BF [23 M] lied to me [25 F] about having cancer and I'm utterly destroyed


Don't fake having cancer, buddies

Ooooh man, when I was in second year university, one of my roommates started dating a 40 year old dude she met on a dating site (and this was in 2004-2005 when that poo poo was waaaaaaay less common) who claimed to have cancer. His stories never added up, he looked and acted completely normally within two days of "having massive surgery", stuff like that. None of us actually believed he really had cancer, but we were vaguely humouring her while also trying to drop hints about being skeptical towards his sketchy rear end.

Then my dad got diagnosed with cancer and I was basically flying back home every two weeks because poo poo kept getting worse and worse and I was mess, my mom and brother were a mess, my dad was a mess. It was extremely lovely.

I ended up going bananas on her and this dude when I walked into the house from the airport and they were on the sofa watching some medical show on TLC with my other roommates (who looked veeeerrry uncomfortable) and she was all "baby, this must be so hard to watch for you" to this guy. I was exhausted, crying and completely emotionally strung out and I just lost my poo poo the two of them. I honestly don't remember what I said, but he left, she got screamed at me, our other roommates yelled back at her about he was full of poo poo and I ran up to my room and locked the door.

Next day, the guy drops off a letter admitting he lied about the whole thing and some other unsavoury details. The last two months in the house were kinda tense for that chick, but everyone had my side in the at least. And my dad went into full remission and is kicking to this day!

Moral of the story: never live with 5 other 19 year old girls and never lie about cancer.

Yeah, maybe, but a 30 minute commute (and lol at her thinking that's long) wouldn't cause her back fuckups. Exacerbate possibly, but not cause.

I have a hosed up back/neck and 1 hour a day in a car is entirely something that you can offset with physio exercises when you get home.

Also, no one fucks as much as a straight dude in theatre, NO ONE.

problem with early marriage also is that hey you grow/develop as a person well into your 20s and who you are at 30 might be totally different from who you are at 22 and you might find you are no longer as compatible.

I mean hopefully you're always growing and developing but you probably aren't gonna be radically different at 50 than you were at 40 you know.

I just mentally ran through the dudes I seriously dated before the age of 25 and basically want to die thinking about having married any of them.

Also your SO going out of town without you is like a mini-staycation. I always missed the hell out my boyfriends when either of us went away, but it is also kinda fun to briefly return to lowgrade singleness, knowing the person you love will return shortly.

regarding the 14 year old embarrassed by her gloopy parents:

My parents were that couple (though not quite as, um, graphic) and I absolutely hated it as a teenager.

Then I grew up and realized that a) I benefited so much from having parents who were super into each other and b) they really weren't being that gross and I was being a goony teenager.

Like my boyfriend and I showed up early for dinner on Saturday and we walked in to my mom and dad kissing and giggling and slow dancing to Cole Porter :3: 14 year old me would have been mortified, but 30 year old me was like "awwwww, I hope I'm still that in love in 40 years".

Literally every single guy I've dated has been all "ooooh, I want to see your school uniform pics 😏" even after I tell them how terrible I look in them.

My school had a uniform that was the laughing stock of every other girls school in the city, and I'm one of those people who were fugly in high school and got hot as an adult.

I have a little brother who is fairly severely disabled, but incredibly well socialized and well behaved. I've spent my entire life going to events that were filled with people like her sister in law and wanting a one day break from that, especially when you've agreed to care for that person later in life, is completely reasonable.

Like having a severely disabled sibling is awful, no matter how great they are, and she's willingly signing on to that life for the forceeable future. Let her have one day without making GBS threads and barfing and screaming.

In that case she should approach the husband and ask if either she can't attend or if he will help pacify her rather than trying to dope her up on the low

The best approach would be to talk to her husband and his family and her doctors and come up with a way to allow her to attend the wedding. The fact that she is even thinking about finding alternate , even drugged up, ways to get the sister to the wedding is much more than most people want to do.

As I said, my brother is very disabled but very well socialized and he freaked out like 80% of my serious boyfriends. The fact that she wants to keep the sister in her life is awesome and not at all the norm.
