loquacius posted:Page one and I already can't decide which is the biggest trainwreck in the thread I feel like in terms of real life consequences being pregnant with the child of an insanely irresponsible alcoholic is probably much worse than being engaged to a humiliation fetishist who is escalating and seems fixated on the ultimate opportunity to gratify himself. You can actually sort of "solve" the second problem with some serious and open communication with your partner to figure out if you actually are on the same page in terms of long term commitment and values, and break up if that's not the case- stressful and not without consequences, but you should be able to boil it down to a yes/no answer for yourself and you're still at a stage where you can make a clean break. On the other hand the pregnant poster already knows her boyfriend is a shithead, there's nothing she can do to make him less of a shithead, and she's almost certainly going to have him in her life forever because of the coming child.

Certainly something to think about if she's looking for a long term relationship. The baby thing is a potentially legitimate concern depending on the house but I'm pretty sure the eagle already counts as a way sweeter "pet" than she'd be able to have otherwise

Danaru posted:I know it's a common trend but god drat why would you share a relationship gripe with a shitton of people online and not even try telling your SO first because this seems like an issue where it would be useful to have a baseline idea of how much other people are willing to do for their partners and what they expect in return before starting a discussion that could open a can of worms in terms of relative reciprocity/potentially cutting out parts of her sex life that she enjoys? plus it can be useful to talk things like through with a neutral/disinterested party first to figure out exactly what aspects you find distasteful and how strong your aversion is- i.e. the issue may be resolvable in different ways if her objection is rooted in the power-dynamics/aesthetics being a turn off vs. her simply not liking to pump away while not receiving stimulation (i.e. try a feeldoe or something), and if it's genuine disgust vs. a simple lack of interest sometimes people just need to talk/write this stuff out to figure out how they really feel

54 40 or gently caress posted:Lol, projecting much? I would have thought that regardless. Sometimes partners can be flawed would have sufficed. I mean maybe, but your reaction to the story was to cast doubt on a completely plausible scenario and suggest the OP was omitting information about their own failings, which just so happened to correspond to a well-known gender stereotype and had no other supporting evidence whatsoever. Given a gender-flipped counterfactual of the situation outlined in the initial post, would your initial reaction really have been suggesting that a woman who had abandoned her job and sold her home to support her partner's career, and was working hard but failing to get a business off the ground in a foreign country, was probably just attracting justified ire because they're slovenly and a poor homemaker?

Adam Vegas posted:The tacit understanding with all Christmas gifts is that even if you don't like them, you act grateful and thank the person. It isn't, but 8 wooden chairs can eat up a lot of storage space and they're the kind of thing the person giving them would expect to see out when they visit which will be the awkward part, if they can't lie through Christmas they're just dumb it's a super nice gesture/gift on the father-in-law's part, but it's also definitely an imposition and the reason some categories of gifts probably shouldn't be surprises

Then again, I just ask the experienced guys who I should follow and support with whatever character I have, and I do that unless they ask me to do something else and I take criticism well in the sense that I try to correct my errors. I blow rear end at MOBA-style games, but on the rare occasion I get roped into playing one, at least I'm working for the team. Having seen how other teams or teammates not coordinating leads to swift defeat, that may be more than some bring to the table.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:He should go to school with his friends regardless. The number of people who sit back and reflect on their lives and think "man, I wish I had another year before kindergarten, I was *not* ready" is approximately 0. Well no, but it does potentially lead to different outcomes, i.e. being super young for your grade means you're developmentally behind so are unlikely to get a fair shot at competitive sports, might not be able to pick things up as quickly as your classmates, may not be on the same level of emotional maturity, may have a rough time due to hitting puberty later than your peers, etc. Those are definitely things worth thinking about, how likely your kid is to face potential legal issues for wanting to bone down in 14 years much less so.

Leon Einstein posted:Him coming home wouldn't have restored the power. Light a candle and read or go to bed if you lose power. She's a baby. Pretty much my perspective. I mean maybe he's spending too much time/money on his hobby, which is potentially a legit relationship issue, but he was also at a pre-arranged event where a) he'd made a time commitment of several hours and b) he was doing something that wasn't terribly conducive to being on the phone. In this case it was Magic: the Gathering, but there are lots of other hobbies and events that have similar time commitments and practical restrictions on phone access. Expecting him to drop everything for a non-emergency that he would either be completely unable to resolve or that she should have trivially been able to resolve on her own isn't really a reasonable expectation and is predicated on the assumption that his time/money/hobby is less important than being immediately available to assuage her anxiety over a minor inconvenience. I mean at worst she'd be unable to cook something for dinner, so just order takeout or text him and ask him to pick up something on his way back.

Being stuck in hospital is the most boring thing ever (unless you're hosed up enough to be kept sedated 24/7). After a couple of days? Yeah. I mean I'd make sure she has any reading material she wants or whatever, but there's no obligation to spend every waking moment providing entertainment to someone just because they're stuck in a bed for a few days. I mean I wouldn't want/expect her to do that for me either, it's just not reasonable.

This was full out malicious tampering of someone's future. In short: He's also not actually attempting to genuinely atone or make things right, he's choosing to share a previously unknown super-horrible thing he did over a perceived sleight he can't even remember, playing it off as "not a big deal," and then absolving himself with an expectation that he'll be forgiven for giving the most half-assed apology possible. It's 100% about him and the proper response is to tell him to go get hosed until he can come up with $40,000.

Pick posted:you feel like a douchebag because you are a douchebag, hth That seems unnecessarily harsh and dismissive- this is just someone being honest about their sexual preferences and being upset because their partner isn't at all good at a part of foreplay they really enjoy. You can talk about how much their partner doesn't need to cater to their whims, and how much they should appreciate the effort in the first place, but the person in question knows that and all the guilt-tripping in the world doesn't actually make the bad oral sex they're having good (or in this case photos). The actual solution is good communication between partners, but its obviously a potentially awkward and emotionally fraught area, so asking for advice on how to start that conversation/how other people have handled similar situations seems entirely reasonable.

ArbitraryC posted:I dunno i'm kinda mixed on that, my mom raised me that way (out of necessity, single mom) and while it did give me a lovely libertarian viewpoint in high school that I eventually got over, it also really made me appreciate what I had. I feel like people in college paying their own way tend to take it more seriously and do a better job building up their resume cause they get jobs through their department. I knew a lot of people who were at college sorta cause it was just what was expected of them and it was paid for but they sorta just phoned it in for 4 years and then came out without anything to show for it. Yeah, a bootstraps mentality/strong work ethic/understanding the value of a dollar are not exactly crippling disadvantages in early adulthood, and neither is not having your parents buy you a beater car. It is much better not to start your adult life saddled with student loan debt, but if you go to a state school it also shouldn't be something that can't be dealt with, especially if you actually have family resources to fall back on if things go south for you. Though it also does depend on how family resources affect aid, as you definitely can get mega-hosed if your parents make enough money to disqualify you from most aid but refuse to contribute to your educational costs. The part where that dude is potentially loving up his kids' future is if he doesn't pay for educational and enrichment opportunities on breaks during childhood/early teenage years, as that's when middle and upper class children tend to actually get academic separation from poorer children who don't have access to the same resources (and the gap widens every year).

That's a, uh, really weird way of reading intentions behind something that was clearly set up and advertised as a magazine assignment and makes me think you might be projecting onto him just a wee bit. Like it's extremely unsurprising he wouldn't get any takers, and consequently it's kind of a weird inclusion in an article about the difficulties of regular single men, but I'm pretty sure there was no judgement of appearance or prospects implied, and the offer to use a pseudonym was for the article he planned to write about the weird freaky sexercise routine.

It's pretty similar to a bunch of guys discussing the minimum breast size they'd accept when considering a potential girlfriend- you're certainly allowed to have your own preferences and minimum standards, but discussing them in mixed company is crass at best and it shouldn't be a huge shock if your significant other interpreted such a conversation as objectifying/questioned the degree to which you valued them as a person or why you were in a relationship.

Mirthless posted:yeah I noticed that too, lol, i cannot imagine waiting until marriage and not immediately tearing each other's clothes off the second you get through the door of your suite Idk, weddings are often pretty stressful & energy intensive affairs, so people just crashing seems totally plausible. Like common best-man/maid-of-honor advice is to make sure to get sandwiches for the bride and groom because they won't have a chance to eat. That may not have been the case here, but if an extra penis somehow escaped notice until after they were married I'd say there are probably enough sexual hangups and lack of other physical contact at work that not getting down ASAP doesn't seem totally out of character.

Really depends on the state, i.e. the Oregon state constitution has broader free speech protections than the U.S. constitution so you can wander around fully naked in public all you want*. *Note that this doesn't stop private businesses from kicking you out or you from getting arrested for indecent behavior (i.e. being naked is fine, jacking it in public is not)

LethalGeek posted:I hate travel and I don't get people who enjoy it. Come at me You're wrong of course (  ), but the OK Cupid stats also are far from an unambiguous endorsement of independent foreign travel as the key to a successful marriage- matching your partner's status is the important correlation. It's a straightforward question that doesn't have a bunch of social pressure around an "ideal" answer, so it works as an accurate proxy for revealed preferences relating to attributes that most people want to share with a partner (even if they'd never admit it- who doesn't want to self-describe as "adventurous" or would openly say they're more likely to pursue marriage with someone from a similar class background?).
