My boyfriend's kink is receiving any kind of shame, anger, disappointment or admonishment whatsoever, how do I turn this into a successful long-term relationship?

My son, who I never really instilled much of an education on proper nutrition growing up except to burn into his brain that I disapprove of going to the gym because it's a conspiracy by BIG HEALTH, ate himself silly during his high school years in a house that was always stocked exclusively of junk food and I never felt engaged enough to figure out why. So, after moving out from being under my care without any support or assistance from me, his horrible eating habits immediately disappeared, which is great despite the fact that replacing his fat with muscles is literally killing him. Anyways, why does he act so resentful towards me even though I have two non-fat kids as well thus proving it's entirely his fault?

If it's real, then either there were a million signs she's a controlling lunatic over the last 3 years he was too clueless to notice, or we are getting a very one-sided account of this ultimatum.

Charles Get-Out posted:Me [24F] with my boyfriend [46M] lied to me about his age and I'm not sure I can get over it. Look, I know the longer you commit yourself to another human being, the more difficult it seems to sever and how it almost feels like that time is wasted, but half of these r/relationship posts are so depressing on a "if I just keep gambling eventually I'll make enough money to pay off all these gambling debts" level.

Cough Drop The Beat posted:That amazingly lame story about the dude who "mistakenly" told his girlfriend that he loves her is hilariously dumb for too many reasons, but most of all, who dates someone for over a year and feels no love for them? I assume he's just stereotypically afraid of being alone, but come on bro. Why bother dating a person long-term that you don't actually care for? It's extremely unfair to her too.

Chichevache posted:Loveless relationships exclusively happen to millenials? Huh. Then how would you explain my parents? But the pattern of asking random people you don't know how to resolve an issue that's been eating you up inside for six months and could be cleared up with a single sentence of human interaction that might make you feel a smidge uncomfortable? This seems really common with young people at /relationships these days.

I feel like if it's been 1.5 years, you really need to get over yourself using the bathroom with your partner nearby. It's like passing gas, of course you'll do everything to hide it when you start dating because you're in that weird mindset of trying to present an idealized version of yourself, but at a certain point you need to drop the illusion.

loquacius posted:I also don't really get how you can go from "I have a weird crush on my coworker" to "I will consent to my S/O loving randos with no restrictions in perpetuity so I can even take one swing at hitting on my coworker who has given me no actual indication that they are interested" but multiple of these stories have started off that way It's always amazing to see someone who manages to override any notion of common sense because of a sexual fantasy playing out in their head, especially when they are in their loving mid-thirties. Like, that's an immense amount of emotional immaturity and cognitive dissonance. - Assuming a woman you work with and don't know personally who is nice and friendly secretly wants you. - Then going further and assuming that not only does she want you, she wants you in the context of being your sexual sidepiece, not your girlfriend. - Then being so certain of this, you are willing to harass your current girlfriend into accepting this arrangement. Her turning out to be a lesbian is the best thing at the end of the story.

My (25F) boyfriend (28M) of 4 years is a party pooper - My guess is contrary to her claims, her boyfriend actually is an introvert and work functions already drain him. She needs to work on making friends without having to have him around. Me [23F] with my SO [24 M] of 5 years who I love but who I've been emotionally abusive towards recently - I've got good news for this lady worried about her behaviour coming back - you don't need to worry about that. He probably already dumped you but is using the "temporary break" because he's too much of a coward to pull the bandaid off all at once. My boyfriend (23) frustrates me (f23) when he plays c.o.d for multiple days straight - I've been reticent about bringing up my interest in gaming to potential partners for a long time because most of them have a story of dealing with someone like this. Gamers: Stop being a lazy rear end, and choose between having a bachelor lifestyle and having another human being in your life that you have to acknowledge sometimes.

Yeah, that one is amazing. But it kind of fits with a lot of the other ones, really. It's not much different from ones like "How do I stop my girlfriend from loving other men after I emotionally hijacked her into doing it over six months because I thought I was getting a side piece?" It's basically the monkey's paw in real life. People seem to resent getting exactly what they ask for because they also had the hubris to believe that everything is like primetime television where you just set certain things in motion and predictable results ensue. "I pressured her to have a kid she had zero interest in, and now she has zero interest in it! She was supposed to fall in love with the kid when she held it in her arms!" Like, I bet that she clearly stated multiple times that if she was forced to keep the baby, it would be entirely his responsibility, and he nodded every loving time. kuddles fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Nov 6, 2016 |

Unironically, I would sever because if this is his behaviour attached to something you own that is used to brush your hair everyday, he is bound to have disgusting habits and/or disrespects you in numerous ways you haven't discovered yet. Like, even if I somehow got to the point of just HAVING to stick my girlfriend's brush up my rear end, I would buy a replacement hopefully before she even found out.

I don't understand what his problem is. She already let him know that his black friend is one of the good ones. And now she is hysterical if he tries to leave the house, and that's a good sign that she is devoted.

I'm jealous of their son. Also, the biggest lesson I learned when I was young was to communicate issues in a calm manner, and usually that helped fix things real fast. It's astounding how many people at supposedly adult ages in these stories like the wife take the tack similar to "I don't want to talk to my son about what I saw, so instead I'm going to ostracize him without telling him why and fume internally for months." kuddles fucked around with this message at 14:24 on Nov 8, 2016 |

I love how many of these postings always bury the lede, which always tells that the person writing them must lack emotional awareness. My girlfriend is using petnames with a co-worker, should this bother me? P.S. They also spent one late night alone together where she ignored my existence and are making plans to do it again.

Oh my god, I can totally see that guy's entire immediate future in my head and it's a perfect cliché. Move to a new city where you don't know anybody other than a girl you are pining for. Offer to be a confidant where she can bitch about her boyfriend while he hopes she changes her mind about him. Eventually grow more resentful and broken as a human. This is all assuming that just moving there doesn't immediately creep her out.
