Cough Drop The Beat posted:I asked her what she thought of the Muslim ban, and she said she didn't necessarily agree with it, but did support banning citizens from risky countries like Iraq and Syria. I told her I thought this was very wrong of him to say, and this will only increase vitriol against Muslims in this country and is completely counter-productive. She said she doesn't believe what he was saying was anti-Muslim, and he's just trying to keep this country safe. This is some fuckin impressive mental gymnastics going on on her part.

I think we can all agree it'll wind up as a healthy, long lasting marriage that I'm sure will raise many happy children.

Pick posted:Some guys are just a little rough around the edges (like they had a crappy dad or didn't get out much or whatever) and some love and care will make a world of difference. Because men are socialized not to be open about their feelings, it can take a really long time to tell the difference between "just needs a genuine chance" and something more fixed. I think even some guys diagnosed with Aspergers don't really have it (but think they do), and some guys don't have the diagnosis who would benefit from knowing it. You only learn about people from experience. Life is complicated and everyone's a little crazy On the other hand, way too many people are in lovely relationships because they think they will be ~the one~ who can get that abusive emotionless rear end in a top hat to soften and finally open up.

I (33m) overheard my girlfriend (28f) making fun of me pretty brutally to her best friend (27m). When I say brutally... I mean brutally.quote:My girlfriend, "Jenna", and I have been together for 2 years, a little over.

Moon Atari posted:Some people's brains just stop functioning completely in any sort of emergency situation. I guess he went into flight mode while she stayed calm. Gender roles aside, if you've ever been in any sort of emergency situation where you are the calm one and everyone else is in a panic stupor it can be really annoying because you have to try to deal with the emergency and chill them out at the same time. To be fair, I don't think she was super calm and calculating either. She straight-up says "I was in panic mode and told my child to hide instead of run out the nearby door." Seems a little unfair she admits to following instinct but won't accept that her husband did the same. I'll admit it does sound like she kept a bit more of a level head though.

Dial-a-Dog posted:She didn't mention the thieves taking any money either. You've gotta figure once you've upgraded your breaking and entering to multiple counts of assault and kidnapping you'd at least go for the obvious extra of robbing the people present Eh this bit kind of makes sense. If you're breaking and entering with firearms you don't wanna stick around too long. Grabbing a few obviously-pricey items like a laptop and a tv makes more sense than waiting around for a panicked woman to dumbly with her wallet or a safe combination or something.

It's a shame there's no way to have unwanted children taken from one family and given to another. An adoption of the child, if you will.

Mirthless posted:like i said, it'd be one thing if it happened years before - might even be a kinda hot thing to talk about down the road - but the week before? lol, seriously, she wouldn't be helping anybody by talking this one out except maybe absolving herself of guilt, and given that she wasn't in a relationship at the time she doesn't need to feel guilty, anyway. The only reason to really bring it up would be if you were expecting your fiance to meet one of the guys you were involved with in the gangbang and you didn't want him to find out from them. Assuming this is legit and not just wankfiction (pffffthahahaha yeah right) then this girl probably has some issues and isn’t the best at making decisions. If getting gangbanged by two dudes you don’t know isn’t enough, she decided to let her friend know she had feelings for him (without knowing if he had feelings for her) not by confessing or inviting him on a date or whatever, but by spontaneously making out with him then loving him. Maybe I’m a prude or something but that seems a bit of a rush into things. Also her wanting to bring up poly stuff, and we all know how well that turns out and how emotionally secure those relationships are.

The way it’s written, and also because “this guy didn’t confess that he liked me, so I just made out with him then we hosed!!” which sounds like lonely nerd fantasy. Her giving an “edit" though is a surprising amount of dedication since I’d expect the author to just forget it after posting, so who the gently caress knows.

ArbitraryC posted:It's just amazing, like the title sounds like a huge exaggeration, the post is super wordy, and it starts with her talking about recent weight loss + him suggesting they did a public class together. Occam's razor between her just being insecure and overly jealous vs her hubby just blatantly eye loving yoga girls for an entire hour seemed like an easy bet, then he just straights up admit that's exactly what he was doing. How do you get to be 30 years old and not understand that not only is staring like that is super inappropriate, but other people can see you doing it. On the other hand, it's possible that he just admitted to peeking at her once or twice, and she took that as confirmation that he stared at the girl the whole time.

Barudak posted:Its extra weird because its really easy to equalize a game of magic, given the deck is all you play with. So he enjoys the game at its peak design level, he should learn to enjoy it when he can only use commons to beat her all rarities deck. No don't you get it then he's not playing at peak efficiency and if he's not trying to win as efficiently as possible then the game isn't fun!!!! Seriously though there’s just the type of person who can’t just play games casually. I don’t get it myself, but to them it’s just not possible to play a game and NOT try to win as hard as they can. Like doing that just isn’t fun for them. I dunno how to loving deal with these people, because I avoid playing any kind of game with them as much as possible.

^^^ guess I was kind of rightJim Barris posted:How do these idiots just stumble right into a relationship with a woman who will take care of them financially AND do all the housework? Wait... maybe it's because they're incompetent that they find these girls? Maybe she sought out a gormless idiot she'd have to take care of, for reasons incomprehensible to me? Armchair psychology warning: they have emotional issues as well, likely in the form of extraordinarily lovely self esteem / confidence, which is why they don’t just dump their horrible partner and get someone better. Probably due to some amount of abuse during childhood. Maybe one of their parents was abusive or emotionally distant, so they subconsciously want to help fix that relationship by seeking out a partner that’s similar in an attempt to fix him/her.

Dr. S.O. Feelgood posted:He drew a picture of her and then gave her one of him, so he probably just thought it was a funny thing they could do together. I guess if they weren't currently have marriage issues it probably would've been funnier. Yeah it sounds to me like something that’d be fine in a good relationship, but horrible in a bad / mediocre one. Like, I could see a couple doing something like that and laughing about it. Something like “oh man, you got me right in the fuckin eye!” or something. But it’s definitely the kinda thing where you need to know your significant other and know what will/won’t upset them, etc.

Devil’s advocate for vacation girl, but I can understand wanting to take a short vacation after the stress of college before diving into the stress of your first real job. There may also be some unreliable narrator stuff going on, the “When do i get to recharge?” bit sounds real petty and bitter. Also, it doesn’t seem unreasonable that even the most hard-assed boss would be able to let someone take a single day off work for a long weekend or something with a few months heads-up - she did ask him to TRY, and it didn’t seem like he did. That being said, she probably should just accept that it ain’t happening and they could both start working towards saving up for a nice vacation in a year or something instead, but that'd require some kind of communication and compromise on both parts.

charity rereg posted:It's loving wild how people just come in here and write fanfiction about how it must be the man's fault. every time. every loving time. I mean I wasn’t trying to say the dude is a jackass or anything, I think he’s been more than generous to pay for so much for her. But I literally did suggest they save up together for a year just like you’re suggesting lol. I will say it clearly here: her asking him to pay for her vacation when she hasn’t contributed anything is lovely, especially if she’s throwing a big fit about it. However I don’t think there’s really enough in that post to determine if she’s being a greedy leech who will never get a job and just suck up his money for years, like what’s posted at the top of this page. Rubellavator posted:He says he doesn't earn much so he might not even have a job where weekends are a thing. That's fair and something I hadn't really considered to be honest, so good point there.

charity rereg posted:I think the argument she made that I quoted about "never knowing when she'll get this time to travel," is a good indicator that he isn't unreliable or at fault and she just Wants To Go On This Trip. I wasn't suggesting that you didn't see it as well, but that's such an obvious solution that it paints her in a really poor light. Yeah that's a good point. If nothing else it certainly sounds like she doesn't really understand how gracious he's being here, or probably what the value of a dollar really is. Thinking about it, it kinda comes off like a kid going "what do you mean you can't afford to get me that new game console? You make like a billion dollars!"

Bruceski posted:I have known people who have wonderful poly relationships, but man when those things go bad they go REALLY bad. It's kind of like high-school relationships. Lots of people know a couple who has made one work, and so they convince themselves "Hey, I can make it work too!" not realizing the failure rate is like 99%. So they see their relationship failing and are super in denial about it because "Becky had a relationship like ours and she's so happy!!!"
