Anti-cheating is code for anti-poly

Nothing wrong with either. Have you met any poly people? They are insufferable and can't wait to tell you about thier sex lives.

Are they more or less insufferable than self-professed asexuals?

I have never met an openly asexual person in the wild, and I refuse to go to whatever tumbler page they exist on so I am guessing that most asexuals drat well know better than to blab about it constantly, unlike bisexual polyamorous weirdos. But still likely less ick factor anyway because al you can imagine them doing is NOT having sex with a bunch of people.

I get why dude is upset, but it isn't like she was the one driving. And wr don't even know how bad the driver was. Depending on the state you can be charged with dui even if you are well below .08 and it is officer's discretion.

I'm still having a hard time believing that they allowed the sister to snoop long and hard enough to be opening things and finding sex toys. No guest would ever even make it to my bedroom, let alone be opening drawers and containers or whatever. If you lost something in my house it's gonna be in the living room or dining room.

I am sure we are getting a one sided account, but I instinctively position myself against anyone who gives a gently caress what gender you are loving. I also instinctively position myself against anyone who tries to get people to turn their back on their own or thier friends without a good reason. Georgie shaking the casket could have been a weird grief thing. Most of the lesbians I have been exposed to were really good, low drama people that are great to have a beer with. Ann sounds a lot like my cousin's awful wife that does her best to keep my aunt away from her grandchildren for what are, as far as I can tell, a bunch of petty reasons tied up in imagined slights and social judgement.

Shaking the casket and then doing some dumbass "dramatic reading" voice with a smattering of prithee-ees? And then laughing uproariously? turd's hosed up.

I guess I don't think Ann gets to say anything how the woman deals with her own grandma's death, and should not gently caress with someone's relationship with their family unless there is abuse or they are being taken advantage of. My wife's family is culturally different from my family and frankly a little racist and pretty low class. I worked my rear end off to build a good relationship with them for her and for our kids and I work hard to maintain that relationship and meet them at their level. My wife in turn puts up with my mother being a little crazy and sometimes super demanding and at other timea super fearful and insecure. If you can't hang in with someone's family it is best not to marry them because you are marrying into that family too. Maybe OP is a handful and maybe Georgie is nuts but if you can't accept someone's family then don't try to join it.

Nah actually, it's cool and good not to put up with racists

You would think that but it isn't an immutable charachteristic and does not make the whole of what someone is. It is like any other serious charcter flaw. You can be racist and still be an otherwise good person. Most whites in America are to some degree racist, whether they are conscious of it or not. Are you gonna tell your spouse "We ain't going over for Christmas because your dad has lovely views?"

And yet most white people are racist and don't even realize. I'm not saying they use the N word or fly confederate flags, but they also don't rhink MLK should have a holiday. If you have never been exposed to the white working class that might be shocking, but it isn't incredibly uncommon with that demographic. If you simply write them off you lose the chance to educate, and you also lose elections.

My comment about lesbians being good people was really more about the mindset of religious people who think they aren't and that I am more likely to side with a lesbian over a Christian in that argument. It was hamfisted.

I don't think that'd fly where I live. You have to be a band member to own land on the Rez and even then it can be pretty tough. Then again, the way indigenous communities are governed is crazy complicated (and often riddled with nepotism)

E: FTR I know virtually nothing about treaties and such from a US perspective; only Canadian

I wrote a long rear end post about this that my lovely phone deleted, but basically therw was a long period of time where the BIA had as its stated goal to "civilize the indian" by making him behave like a white person and being a farmer. One of the ways this was done was to deed out "allotments" from the reservation land to individuals, some of whom would turn around and sell the land when they needed money. Some/a lot of land ended up in white hands through this mechanism. Some tribes have bought some of it back, and a lot of them have taken the remaining land and no longer allow fee simple ownership of allotments any more.

I don't think any grand planning got hosed up in this case, unless you count the fact that tribes and reservations exist at all. It is only recently that BIA has not officially been tasked with a goal of getting rid of the reservations. Reservation lands being sold back to whites by people who were poor or starving was one of the intended effects of the policy, not an unintended consequence. It is sad as hell, but not an accident.

"If you want to do anything fun maybe you should go be single" is just not a normal response to "hey lets go do fun stuff together. "

Its not an age thing. My wife is a year older than me (mid 30s) has a greater appetite for travel than I do, but when she said she wanted more travel in our life together and that we didn't do enough fun stuff after having 2 kids, I said "ok lets go hiking every weekend and here is my credit card and the days I can get off of work. Book us a trip without the kids." When she wants to take a trip with her girlfriends I ask her to make sure it is at a time when I can get some childcare to help.

It is telling that he is reacting this way to her wanting to do things Together. Dude is probably both boring and a control freak.

People are allowed to have a change in interests in a marriage, and as long as it is reasonable you should try and accomodate your spouse's requests to change things up. Life is a long time to be together so best try and not make it miserable for you or your partner.

to be fair, he is raised in a culture that still does very often train men that they must be providers and that they need to be able to do these kinds of things for women. dude does not seem to be critiquing her for it, he is working through the challenge she presents to the expectations our society still puts on men. she challenges his notions of masculinity and he needs to figure that out. Since she is so independent and seemingly has a good head on her shoulders, i'd trust her that this is a good dude who just needs to figure some ingrained stuff out.

I dunno, I think she has been clear about it and even arranged for him to sit in on a rehearsal to assuage his insecurities. He knew she was one of those "theater people" from the get go and that something like this was a possibility. The fact that it occurs in front of like 50 people means it is LESS likely to be just them boning each other, not more. He should have known what he was signing up for.

It sounds like the play is really important to her. In my experience if you make your girlfriend miss out on things that are super important to her because you are jealous and possessive it spells trouble for your relationship. If you can't trust your partner, the relationship is already dead, either because you don't repect them enough that you think they will do the right thing or because they have given you reason not to.

Furry girlfriend dude should sever. Those people (at least any who would participate in that community) have such a poor sense of boundaries and decorum that they cannot maintain normal human relationships. His wierd cucklusting dogfucker of a girlfriend is no exception.

It sucks that her broken brain is not getting better but a childhood full of abuse will do that.

Why was it the two girlfriends/fiances of family members that got stuck with all the bitchwork rather than the family members themselves, that seems so random and odd. Like it'd be one thing if her FH was recruited and she said she'd help, but that everyone else was sorta just enjoying the reception while the +1's got milked for free labor and everyone just sorta thought that was appropriate feels so weird to me.

Yeah it sounds like everyone thought they had agreed to it though except the bride.

I haven't been religious in a l ok ng time but stories like this make me value the religious community grew up in. Our families paid the bills for it but all of the site prep and takedown, decoration, flowers, and catering were done by the old ladies and old men whose kids had all had the same done for them. A lot of the younger people pitched in as directed (and showed up early expecting to do so). The old ladies had enough experience with it that it ran like a well oiled machine.

And she did this with not just 1 but 2 women she wasn't particularly close to, that just seems beyond rude to me but idunno I've never planned a wedding.
