In the ninth grade, one of my close friends told her boyfriend that I was her cousin so he wouldn't be suspicious of all the time we spent alone. Sophie is not his cousin. She's also not a lesbian.

Also isn't the point of being fwb that you're just friends that gently caress. Why are you friends with benefits with somebody who isn't benefiting you.

There's a few positions that I wouldn't have thought of on my own that I saw in porn that my wife and I like to do but outside of that, it taught me nothing other than "penis goes in hole and sometimes nipples feel good." It certainly didn't set me up for disappointment though. Not sure how you can be online enough to watch porn as a teenager but not read the millions of people telling you porn isn't real.

tbh I think most employees in any kind of customer service industry get through the day by mocking the poo poo out of the customers, especially regulars, once they leave. If you aren't greeted like a king every time you walk through the door and haven't formed a personal relationship with each employee, they're talking poo poo about you.

I can't handle spiders.

Oddly enough, my fear of daddy long legs instantly disappeared when I found out they aren't actual spiders.

I feel bad for the girl. When I was a teenager I had a superiority/inferiority complex about my intellect and got the ever-loving poo poo kicked out of me, rightfully so. It looks like this woman is going through something similar. No matter what form it takes the hammer is going to drop on her very hard and absolutely no one is going to have any sympathy.

I had a friend like that in high school. Anytime somebody appeared smarter than him, got a higher grade, did better on the ACT, etc., he would have to justify it to everyone and make sure everyone knew the multitude of reasons why he wasn't the best. She got the scholarship because her mom knows the chancellor/his dad is a history teacher and helped him study but I had to study alone/she must have graded it wrong.

What was funny is that he wasn't unusually smart either. He had a high GPA in high school and college but he couldn't necessarily apply it to real life situations.

I fell into that same trap too. When you're like 14-15 and a bunch of tests from the magic science men tell you you're in some top percentile of the population it's easy to start believing in your own superiority. And the only real cure for it is for everyone around you to drop your ego-inflated rear end like the dead weight it is. It absolutely sucks at the time because of course you're just oh so smart and all the normal apes around you will never understand but you come out a better person at the other end.

I was the opposite. School testing and teachers taught me that I was naturally dumb as gently caress and bound to fail at anything that required mental skills. I got older and realized that the teachers were bitter and the classes were just boring.


Those two above statements made for a real fun time when I made a higher score than him on the ACT.

I think the best action here is to pretend this never happened.

This is a bad idea but a legitimate post: poo poo your pants before you talk to him. The smell will shatter his "she's perfect" view of you. If he asks, tell him that you have food poisoning. I imagine he's obsessed and not "in love" and this will take care of that. He'll justify it as normal in his head to avoid seeing his sister-in-law that way but the damage to his feelings will be done.

I had depression at that age and my parents brushed it off and downplayed it as well - with only a half-hearted apology about ten years later for getting it wrong when they realised I still have it - it loving sucks so I have to empathise with the kid here. I internalised the idea that I probably was just an angsty teenager and any doctor/therapist would laugh me away so I never got the help I needed.

I mean, he could just be a little turd but it's not really an assumption I'm comfortable making.

My parents were the opposite which was frustrating but still not as bad as your situation. If I showed any negative emotion, even for a valid reason, they'd demand to know if I was depressed, try to get me to admit it, and try to persuade me to go to an emergency appointment with my psychiatrist. I could yawn and be interrogated about why I wasn't sleeping and if it was related to being depressed. It wasn't unusual for me to be accused of lying about it and told that I needed to tell them the truth.

It was very frustrating to feel like mommy and daddy had to babysit their baby boy's feelings.

She shouldn't give an ultimatum, just sever.

I'm going to reread it to make sure I understand the situation but if the guy occasionally yells at them for it, it seems like he hates it as well but just puts up with it for a peaceful visit. I don't think it would take much of a push to convince him it's unhealthy if his gf tells him it isn't peaceful at all for her. I mean, if they're that crazy, I'm not shocked he's just given in for the sake of having a relationship with them.

In my opinion as an old dude, video games are a goddamn menace to relationships. I'll just say that. If she seems like she doesn't care that you're playing Dark Souls for 6 hours, she really does but isn't at the point where it has become frustrating yet. Or maybe she doesn't give a poo poo, in which case, good on you. But be sure before you assume that. Sometimes a game can be the thing that couples can do together and enjoy their free time. But most commonly, it isn't. Spending time together is important, and 6 hours is a hell of a long stretch of time to spend in a computer cave if you have a job and a relationship.

A lot of guys just want to sit around in their boxers and play Dark Souls or Call of Duty for 8 hours. Some women want to do that, sure, but it's way, waaay less. Evidence is the number of complaints from these kinds of posts that revolve around "He doesn't pay any attention to me, just wants to play colladoody".

It may seem counter intuitive but bringing my xbox and gaming chair into our bedroom helped my wife and I out with this. Even though we're doing completely different things, just being in the same room is still spending time together because we can still talk, laugh, etc. I do use a headset but try to reserve it for when she's asleep or heavily invested in something.

I wasn't heavily obsessed with video games or anything. It was just frustrating that the room our interests took place in rarely aligned.

Granted, this relies heavily on my wife being able to go to sleep regardless of light or noise but whatever.

Yeah uh if your position is "I'm only paying $300 in rent to live in a house but I should be living rent-free" I'm sorry but I don't have very much sympathy for you

I make more money than my wife and she still paid part of our rent up until we merged our bank accounts at which point it didn't matter. If you live in a place, you should be paying for it in some fashion, and it doesn't really matter whether the money goes to a landlord or a bank. This seems pretty straightforward to me :shrug:

Doesn't it seem weird at all? I've had a couple girlfriends live with me and a couple roommates. With the girlfriends, it was always a trust based financial partnership. With the roommates, they paid me their bills. It seems weird to mix the two. Maybe that's just me but it worked fine. I lived with my girlfriends but I rent to my roommates. As long as I was in a romantic relationship with someone, it was, very informally, their place as well. It seems like the girl feels like that's not the situation at all and I can imagine feeling weird about it.

Also, even if I live there, I would feel weird paying someones entire house payment if it was their house. It doesn't really matter since your money is going towards something no matter what but I would still feel weird covering the cost of a house that I have no claim to.

I never get mad or annoyed at children who are acting up, being loud or obnoxious or are generally pains in the asses. I have trained myself to remember that it's not the kid's fault - it's their parents fault.

How hard is it to understand that kids are not tiny adults that always respond rationally? Great parents can have great kids that still act up sometimes. I'd be concerned if my kids didn't.

For any goon parents out there, this reminds me of a fantastic trick I learned the other day. If your small child is acting up in a social situation where you need them to shut the hell up RIGHT NOW but they've worked themselves up, you can tell them "You seem upset. I wouldn't laugh if you're that upset. You better not laugh! Only happy people laugh!" and it'll snap them out of their tantrum because they'll try and fail to not laugh.
