Haifisch posted:Apparently, I'm [25F] an evil witch because of the way I'm raising my daughter [8F]. It's putting a strain on a lot of relationships and I could use some help. I was raised like that. My parents would play Intellevision games while holding me on their laps as an infant. When I got older I'd often "navigate" by being the one with the cheat book, or whatever. I don't think I've ever actually played a Resident Evil game myself, my dad would play while I'd navigate because I was terrified of zombies and hated the controls. My SNES was already open on Christmas morning, and the first switch palace done in Super Mario World because my parents had to "test" it. I have a Legend of Zelda tattoo, not just because I'm a gaming nerd, but because of all the great memories I have of having a shared hobby with my parents we all loved. The day my dad died, after being so sick for so long, I woke up to the sound of him playing one of his PTO-like games for the first time in 6 months. It was such a familiar sound. It's one of my last memories of him and I can't imagine wanting it to have been anything else. But I guess since I got bullied because it was the 90s and not 2018 when everyone's grandma is playing Candy Crush and everyone has a console in their house. that those happy memories and bonding was all actually a horrible thing to put me through. I seriously think these people are just really, really jealous of the OP's relationship with her daughter and ex. Edit: Jesus, I just saw the child's name, that's my birthname, even spelled the right way.

Ew the amount of people in the thread about the wife giving a kid rides saying it's her fault for lying and making him even more paranoid, or that because of his abandonment issues that he is just setting reasonable boundaries to keep himself from getting hurt again is loving disgusting.

As a poly person with a somewhat incestuous friend group, we don't call it fluid bonding when we all get drunk and raw dog it. We call it "getting hosed up and making poor life choices" and go to get plan B/testing the next day like every other idiot who does drugs and gets blackout drunk every weekend. It's not just supposed to be another term for not using condoms, its supposed to be some deep trust of your partner to not get diseases from other people or something. I mean, tbh, I don't think I've ever heard a poly person use "fluid bonded" in real life anyway. But having sex with someone you've known for less than a week certainly isn't fluid bonded.

I find it weird that people prefer to make up stuff with absolutely no basis instead of just reading what's said clearly in the post. Except she got all those things. She told him she wanted things, and she got those.Like, maybe you are the one who needs to read the OP? And yes she could have said much more. If she wanted nothing but those things, she should have said that. If she expected the bulk of the trip to be spent swimming, she should have said that. She could have actually been involved in planning it at all, in any way, beyond saying some of the most generic responses to "what do you want to do for our vacation?" she could come up with.

Also lmao that she's going on about how she won't be able to take another vacation for forever, and he should understand that. For one, he probably thought he planned a great vacation for her, based on the limited feedback she gave him. Maybe instead of wanting to cross things off his list, he wanted to experience going to places neither one of them had been to together. For another, they've been dating for four and a half years. He probably assumes that at some point in the near future finances are going to start to commingle and once that happens of course she'll be traveling with him. Her allowing him to take her on vacation at all probably cemented that idea in his head. He probably saw this as the first of many, many vacations to come.

Sagebrush posted:are two dogs really that much harder to care for than one? i mean you feed them both at the same time, walk them together, it's basically the same amount of effort, and other than that they pretty much just take care of themselves right? five days isn't even long enough to think about having to give them a bath. New dogs can be a pain, especially puppies when you have an older dog. But I wasn't working when we got our puppy, and had just started a crazy 800 calories a day or something keto diet in preparation to get a gastric bypass. Yet I managed to get up 5 times a night and walk the puppy. I managed to walk her every half hour until she went because she was (and still is) distracted by scents and stubborn. I managed to do basic training every day, and play with her, and keep her from being murdered by the cat. Then again, I also didn't get a puppy for my old dog that doesn't like other dogs when I knew my husband was going on a trip, and never even mention "Hey, if we get a puppy now, I'll be alone with it and old Rover while you're away. Let's wait until you come back."

Holy loving poo poo tulpas are still a thing? I remember when that popped up among the people who were following/doing all those Slender Man ARGs and Marble Hornets rip-offs. It was either used as an explanation so that people participating in the ARG/role play aspects could more easily immerse themselves in it (basically "Slender Man is real because we all believed it so hard"). It was around the time that otherkin and having alters in your head etc.. popped up, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised it became a thing people believed.

Most games of Settlers I play are me and my fiance and a married couple. No one plays favorites because we're adults who don't take that poo poo personally. None of us expect our significant other to cheat and give us resources. None of us would try to cheat and trick someone else while trading. Like, I can't really imagine trying to cheat in a game to begin with, but with friends? It's a loving game, it's supposed to be fun for everyone. Cheating makes it fun for no one else. How can you miss the point of playing games with your friends so hard?

LadyPictureShow posted:The latest from’Hilarious Self Own Theatre’ I did that poo poo when I was the one who royally hosed up a relationship and couldn't get the guy back. Looking back, acting like that is one of the cringiest, most regrettable things I've ever done. It's so loving selfish. She keeps going on about how badly she wants to be with him again, and thinking about "what could have been". But she obviously isn't thinking about his feelings at all. If she can do something that absolutely lovely, being in a relationship with her isn't going to be fun for the other person. Does she really think that, when she's capable of that, she wouldn't do something else that would hurt him as much, or more? She thinks she learned her lesson because now she knows she loves him and wouldn't leave again. But the real problem is that she's the sort of person who would loving do that poo poo to begin with. And until she does, she's going to keep making her boyfriends miserable and exploding her relationships. e: nvm spoilers didn't work right gently caress it

She said they were together for about 1 year before he met someone else, strung her along for a while, and then dumped her very unceremoniously in front of her friends. She was crying because she was so upset. makes it sound like he heard it the first time right then, doesn't it? I could see a few situations where I would be upset by someone close to me marrying an ex, but that's because he was literally abusive, and murdered a man. I would be scared for her. And my current fiance is well aware of the guy existing and the relationship. Because how are you together 7 years and have been in a relationship that traumatic that it still affects you that badly 7 years later and you never tell your partner at all? When the only trauma from it is "He cheated on me before dumping me"?

Like, why? If you need to eat with the fork in your right hand that badly, at least cut up the entire steak or whatever first (which I guess is also bad manners for some reason?). What on earth is the point of setting the knife down and switching the fork to your other hand for every loving bite?

The thing about poly relationships, is the sort of people who aren't in it for drama/terrible person reasons are the sort of people who don't constantly talk about their relationships. Same as how people in monogamous relationships that aren't full of drama don't usually go on about them to everyone in sight. Personally, if I was looking for that sort of drama, I'd just date a married man, seems a lot easier.

Couldn't you quite easily do some major damage with a pop can? Tendon severing and poo poo by accident, and I'd assume easily more (how far can a piece of aluminum can folded in half cut?) if he actually tried to hurt himself as well. My Imaginary GF posted:Think thru the implementation. How you gonna get 4k+ people to not bring a can of pop to your site? What about visitors? Don't have machines that have cans in them, and put up signs. If someone takes out a can, or obviously tries to bring in a soda can, tell them they can't. Wow, that was a difficult implementation, making up some signs and sending out a few emails to everyone. Places manage to be peanut free easily, or even have no outside food or drink. But you can't even attempt to ban them from the facility? Or at least the parts he's ever in? How is at least trying that not a better solution than letting him tear up cans and injure himself? Like, seriously, no one even tried banning cans? Is no one at this facility aware that there is a middle ground between "keep him cuffed all the time" and "let him injure himself". My Imaginary GF posted:Whats the OPs gender identity? I hate when people tell others who are actually experiencing this poo poo that this poo poo happens. "I just experienced someone being an rear end in a top hat and trying to enforce gender roles on my kid in a horrible, traumatizing way." "Oh, well, you are aware that gender roles exist, right?" It's literally just saying, "You're just being a weirdo and deserve abuse for it." poo poo like this is why I still feel like a horrible disgusting monster because I don't fall into the gender binary. It's also why I'm treated like a horrible, disgusting, mentally ill perverted monster by much of society. gently caress you dude.

Shnag posted:Yeah it isn't black and white in that regard. Having male friends? Thats fine, but pawing on them and having them obviously into her, not fine. What behavior is acceptable would vary from person to person. On one hand, you might have a woman cut off from family friends and isolated and abused, which is not acceptable, on the other hand, there is some poor smuck ok with his SO spending time with ex's because "You control who i am friends with!", or the earlier story in the thread about 'skinship' where the poor guys wife was all over guys right in front of him. That's not the same as telling someone they can't have any friends of the other gender. Or accusing them of loving every male they're friends with. If you can't trust your partner to the point you feel they can't have any friends of a certain gender, at all, ever, just leave them because they're a poo poo person who doesn't respect you.

Where we lived at the time there were quite a few in the area, we'd often see 3 if we drove more than few blocks. This was not an optional game, and he'd punch my arm as hard as he could. And if I did a punch back or beat him to it as he was doing it, he'd get super angry that I was cheating or some bull poo poo. Or that I was doing it harder (literally hard as he could at that angle and he was a Marine). I had a constant bruise.
