The doctor’s reaction to the whole thing is so stereotypically psycho, like there’s no way a non-psycho would do and say all of those things. Not having any friends just makes him weird, it’s his reaction that makes it clear something is seriously off with this dude. I mean, who is seriously going to act that blasé when their girlfriend asks if they’re actually crazy and beat the poo poo of an ex?

Anne Whateley posted:This part is like 10000000% believable. I came from a tiny town and didn't do anything until I got to college, and that was a huge issue for guys, who almost all reacted exactly that way. It turns out the virgin = psycho stereotype is uhhh bad Yeah, people make fun of older male virgins, but a lot of people think there is genuinely something wrong with women who haven’t lost theirs by like 19 or something. And of course many people think having sex with a virgin is some huge responsibility and that she’ll get all clingy and stuff like that. I’m sure there’s some women who do, but it’s far from universal. Like you, I didn’t have sex until I was in college and I didn’t even tell the guy I lost it to, because I was afraid he either laugh at me or make it into a much bigger deal than it was.

[quote="“Absurd Alhazred”" post="“480230954”"] This one is eerie My [34/M] wife [35/F] disappeared to California for 6 months, everything is weird now I feel like the next update is going to come from his friend, who will end his tale with a horrid description of a thing on his doorstep. [/quote] I hope he left out a bunch of details where he tried to contact her and stuff. Because it reads like she just left and all he has to say is “Oh well.” If my spouse just skipped town one day and was gone 6 months I’d either assume he’d gone crazy and/or was dead. I certainly wouldn’t be welcoming him back, at any rate. Especially with two young kids, what the hell.

Serephina posted:Hey, shutup, most of the oldies I've met here (I can't objectively rate myself) are pretty chill and just quietly doing their own thing. There were quite a few older people in some of my classes (like 30s to mid 40s or so) and I’d say the majority of them were pretty cool and oftentimes took the class more seriously than a lot of the younger students. But whenever someone raised their hand and went on some long rambling story about how this all totally relates to their really boring life, it was always an old person, every single time.

My freshman roommate in college would drive 40 minutes to her grandparents house to do her laundry rather than do it on campus because she was too afraid. She would actually be right at home in this thread because she managed to get pregnant right after getting a Mirena IUD. She ended up marrying her older redneck boyfriend who had gotten kicked out of the volunteer firefighter squad. Then she moved out halfway through the year and I got the room to myself. Always make your kids do their laundry.

I missed that the roommate/ex-boyfriend is also unemployed and not in school. What the gently caress do these guys do all day? Aside from WoW, I mean. What is he going to do when the money runs out, which will probably be pretty soon if he keeps up his spending habits. I think these two should get back together, honestly. They sound like a really good match for each other.

My dad used to knock and then immediately open the door. Then when I would get annoyed, he would say "But I knocked!" He would also assume I was hiding something because I didn't want him just barging in unannounced. Now I live far away so it's not an issue.

I guess one of them said it was like half an inch bigger when he was hard. Seems kind of dumb to spend $15,000 on making your flaccid penis bigger unless you're already rich, but what do I know. I did like the old nudist guy who got the procedure for his already big dick just so he could show off even more to the other guys in the locker room.

Girlfriend [26F] let our hedgehog fall out of a 45th floor window. It died. She keeps saying it was a "freak accident" because hedgehogs usually survive. Is this insane?quote:We had a 3 mth old hedgehog named Porky. We live on the 45th floor of a high rise. My gf let Porky run around in our flat while I was gone and she was making a sandwich or whatever in the kitchen. One of our balcony doors was open for fresh air, and Porky meandered over there and eventually slipped through a gap between the glass and wall. She fell to the sidewalk below.

Yeah, her mom isn't going to be presiding over the case. This guy could almost certainly get shared custody, unless he's leaving out some very pertinent details. But people like to jump to "she's an evil psycho who will destroy everything he holds dear", instead of thinking realistically about their options. But this guy should definitely be looking into getting a divorce.

I don't think he said what kind of lawyer his wife was. She could be a patent lawyer for all we know. Regardless, the guy should speak to a reputable divorce attorney in his area and see what his options are because people have a tendency to assume the wife will walk away with everything when that is not really the case. Or he could stay and raise his child in a loveless marriage I guess. I'd take my chances on a divorce, even if it will put him in a worse financial situation.

Drunk Nerds posted:Feels like he could've figured this out by talking to his wife? Like "you are different and I think you might have a mental disorder?" Well, he said she refused to talk about her opinions or feelings beyond one word answers, so I’m not really sure if that would really do much. This guy’s best bet is probably talking with her parents, since it sounds like they’ve realized something is up too, and working out the best way to get her some help. This one was pretty depressing to read.

girl pants posted:I was hoping to find a story about Tide pod eating but instead I found this I used to have a roommate that did similar things. As far as I could tell, she grew up pretty poor too, but a lot of her behavior struck me as more of an OCD or hoarding thing. Like buying a bunch of things in bulk even though there was no room to put them, keeping things way way past their expiration date that she had no intention of using but wanted to keep around "just in case". It was annoying, but I honestly felt kind of bad for her since it was clear this was probably some sort of anxiety thing. Thank god she was just my roommate though, I don't think I would be able to put up with this sort of thing from an SO.

No sympathy for picky eaters. I had a coworker who was a major picky eater and she tried to tell the rest of us that she actually had a more sophisticated palate than we did because we would just cram any old things down our throat, whereas she had higher standards for what she would eat.

I was an INTJ when I took the test back when I was 14. I took it as proof that I actually was a misunderstood genius and obviously much smarter and more mature than my stupid classmates who only cared about partying. The fact that people still think these things a decade later is incredibly embarrassing. If they took out the part in the INTJ description where it says it’s the rarest type and only .8% of people get it, I’m certain the number of people claiming to be one would decrease. That was the major draw for me, just that it was uncommon, which meant “better” and “really cool” to 14 year old me.

Yeah, the mother is definitely at fault here, but it sounds like this guy has rationalized it away and doesn’t think her behavior was harmful. On the other hand, I would be pretty freaked out if my husband nonchalantly brought up during truth-or-dare that he and his mom used to gently caress when he was a teenager and they still send each other suggestive texts.  I don’t what the hell I would do in that situation, especially if I had previously gotten along with the mother. At least there’s no kids involved...

She should just go to college and then do this in her spare time for extra money. I'm with the dad in that this probably isn't a great idea for a full-time job, at least now. $19k in two years just from part-time stuff sounds pretty good for a teenager, but I assume she doesn't really have any bills or expenses of her own right now. I know the demand for weird cartoon porn is insatiable, but I wouldn't be too confident about turning that into a sustainable career that you can live off of.

I mean, your parents are probably going to get rid of your childhood trophies sooner or later especially once you’re in your 20s, but just throwing them all in the trash in favor of one child is pretty drat cold. Are people really going to be significantly more impressed by a 1st place trophy from high school than a 2nd place one? Sure it’s better, but it’s high school stuff, who cares? It’s not like the older daughter is some award-winning professional athlete here.

That’s a depressing one. I could easily see how going through with the rest of the pregnancy could lead to a whole lot of anger and resentment down the road. On the other hand, if she does get an abortion her marriage probably isn’t going to last much longer. If she is genuinely feeling suicidal about this, it seems like a pretty terrible idea to expect her to continue and just telling her to deal with it. Like, that is not a healthy situation for her to be in.

I would say making your wife feel pressured into going through a “traditional” pregnancy, which you know she has a phobia about and could potentially be very difficult for her and she’s expressed that she would much rather go with other options, is in fact kind of bad. Of course he can want whatever he wants, but I’d say what he wants in this case is pretty selfish. And no, I don’t think he’s an absolute monster or anything.
