I met a guy through online dating and it seemed to be going pretty well. He has a decent job (something IT related) and a very nice apartment in the middle of the city.

After a while of being involved we'd eschewed the normal date ideas for staying in at his place, watching a movie and ordering takeout food – in this case Indian food. We were chatting during the movie and were having a dumb flirty quarrel and he threw a piece of his naan bread at me in an 'Oh shut up!' kinda way, so I threw it back at him, in what felt like a playful, splashing water at each other fashion.

Then he throws a handful of cooked rice and I throw more bread back at him – we're both more than a little drunk and high at this point, until it devolves into a US movie food fight type affair. I tried to stop it, in a 'don't make such a mess' way, but it doesn't help, and we and the couches and seating area end up covered in food and drink. I'm a bit pissed off about the curry stains on my shirt, but it's not that bad. We end up having giggly stoned sex and I wash the bits of rice out of my hair in the shower afterwards.

The next morning I offer to stay to help him clean up or come back to help, since I need to go early, but he refuses saying he's got it sorted as well as giving me cash to get my shirt drycleaned and lending me a hoody to wear home.

The next time I'm back there everything is immaculate – he's either done a great job cleaning up or has hired some cleaners to clean the couch and walls etc. However, it's only a couple of weeks later he tries the same thing again – this time while we're eating spaghetti. I can get silly when tipsy, but I told him to stop, (I thought it was just a 'go have a shower' ploy) but then he confesses that he's got a major fetish for women having food dumped on them, or women dumping food on him. He said it's from seeing celebrities doing charity bath of beans type stunts when he was kid. Kinda weird, but I like to think of myself as GGG, so why not?

I've indulged him a couple more times since then – normally when we've been drunk or high. It doesn't seem to be a big sex play thing – we've not been screwing on a mound of pasta, but throwing a bowl of (cooled) soup down his shirt just makes him from zero to horny in a second. It's always very messy, but he pays for stuff to be cleaned up and to replace damaged clothes (and a pair of shoes) though I do feel like some kind of splatter-whore.

This stuff does nothing for me btw. If anything I'm a bit anxious about the cost of cleaning everything and the waste of food – but I grew up poor (certainly compared to him) and taught to be thrifty. I'm a little concerned that this fetish is just going to get more and more extreme – he's hinted at stuff like a bathtub full of beans.

I know i've got to think about whether this is a dealbreaker for me – he's a nice nerdy, goonish guy otherwise (though not actually a Goon I hope) and he's away working until the end of the month. He was saying how this is a really common thing (especially in IT circles!?), but isn't that what everyone with a fetish thinks?

Thanks for writing in to Savage Love! This week, we've brought in food fetish expert Dr. Potatoes O'Brien, PhD and he says...

He was asking about the people who aren't loving their sleeping partners, just sharing a bed with them for some reason.

I spend more time sleeping with a either a 3yo or a 2yo these days because their mom is tied up with a newborn and they have gotten very clingy.

That said, it's more of a 'sleeping next to a sack of badgers' problem than a waking up with a boner or feeling gropey kind of thing.

Just sayin', for poor closeted gay dude, my gf grew up in PA in an ultra religious family. I'm talking church multiple times a week for hours at a time, all family and friends in said church (Baptist, and very hellfire-and-brimstone), etc. She never had to come out as much as it became pretty obvious as she got older, but nowadays her family is out of that sick, sad, hateful church and accepts her BECAUSE they realized their daughter was gay and they couldn't agree to punish her for something that she can't control: a simple predilection for someone whose genitals happen to be the same. This lead the realization that if love between two sane, adult, caring people is said to be wrong, there might be a lot of things they've been told that is equally bullshit, hateful, and damaging.

Look up some of the other things the Bible says you should and shouldn't do, and see if you fit that extremely narrow mold. If there's one thing-and I mean even one thing-that you do that doesn't fit that mold, and you tell yourself it doesn't matter/isn't that important, why can't the allowance to love be one of them? If you eat shellfish or have a tattoo or wear polyester it's literally on the same hellbound level as touching another dude's dick. So you can either burn most of your clothes or you could be happy, your pick.

If my gf's parents can make such a monumental change, I'm sure you can find a way to understand why: they love her. Try to love yourself a little here. Be a little flexible. Talk to people who grew up in a similar environment as you did, and are gay, and how that has affected them. It might not be easy, and I think that's really what's scaring you: the conversations you'll have to have. Well, get over it, dude. It's a big hurtle to jump, and you might get a few bruises, but it's worth it.

Give yourself a chance to be happy.

Counterpoint: closeted gay dude is a piece of poo poo not because he is a closeted gay dude but because he obviously has access to the internet and still has medieval views of homosexuality.

I agree with the 500 bullets thing. The only reason it's alarming in this case is because she's proven to be insane. 500 rounds is not really a lot to a gun owner who goes to the range with any regularity. You can easily shoot 100-200 rounds at the range in a single session, especially if you go with friends. 500 to most avid hobbyists would just be "a good start."

It's cheaper to buy in bulk anyway, and it's not like they're going to go bad any time soon unless you store them under water.

500 is nothing at all but you'll see breathless news reports all the time about 'officers seized x pistols and y long guns and over a hundred! bullets.

Honestly I think coming right out and telling her she needs to start losing weight is the best option. I had a girlfriend tell me that once when I put on 20lbs, and yeah, it hurts your feelings but at the end of the day you know where you stand and it's either lose weight and keep your significant other or lose them. If subtlety isn't working then it's time to just tell her how you feel.

Yeah, that's definitely a conversation the genders can have both ways yes sir.

Weed makes any activity feel fun, is super cheap, is basically legal depending how white you are, rapidly approaching actually legal depending where you live, is not physically addictive, and probably won't destroy your life unless you don't have a lot else going on. Also weed dealers are the most harmless and unintimidating career criminals in existence. In short I'd highly recommend it.

Also, if she suggests that you start having sex because "she can't have children" but she's been taking the pill or having you were condoms then she's gonna anchor baby you. This basically never happens in real life, but you may have the 1:1000000000 where that's an actual concern. Please keep sending updates though. You're my favorite confessor since the sexual assault boss love story.

I think worrying about a potential anchor baby situation here is like worrying about how bear safe your back door is while the house is actually on fire.

Nobody gives a gently caress how much you drink.
Furthermore, nobody gives a gently caress what your thoughts are about whether or not someone is an alcoholic.
