Dude is clearly clueless, but the reply that jumps right to calling him a rapist seems uncalled for.

Yea, nothing seems absurd about this other then that. If the dude does more then this then maybe it's something but right now it's pretty harmless.

I feel like I remember a story from a while back where someone pulled a second surprise ceremony at someone else's wedding, sneaking in the officiant somehow

They thought they'd be cute and talk like the double rainbow guy to do it suddenly during the reception and was then shocked everyone was pissed at them.

The Italian men she's sleeping with will cover that.

This guy is obviously TA but I do miss getting paper copies of certain things, the main one being concert tickets. I have a collection of old ticket stubs that just stops abruptly in the late 2000s.

Yea, I try to get physical tickets when I can for stuff for the same reason, you have to order tickets well ahead of time to have any chance usually. I also don't throw a big baby fit if I can't get them.

57M. White male. Attracted to women in their 20's in my teens, attracted to women in their 20's in my 20's, 30's and 40's, STILL attracted to women in their 20's in my 50's. Is this normal?

Slimy "I get older, they keep staying the same age" feeling.

I mean, are they the only women he's attracted to, because then it feels weird. Otherwise it's like, okay you're attracted to attractive people? Doesn't seem that big of a deal. It is reddit though so better than fair chance he's a creep.

Not involving her in the financial stuff is clearly justified but totally excluding her from the process of looking for a house and just suddenly saying "I bought a house" does not seem good

Honestly, based on her reaction there was no way they would ever be able to get a house if she was involved at all. They should really just not be together and he needs to accept she's a nightmare person unable to take actual responsibility for her life.

Op should have gone to get the name brand stuff, maybe with the dad so they can bond. Who cares if it’s unimportant to you, it was important to the person you’re trying to impress. The fact that he knew it was wrong and didn’t say anything about it even after arriving and hearing them talk about buying the correct brand makes him the rear end in a top hat. He didn’t even apologize for bringing the wrong thing.

Nah, he was fine, family are the weird ones.

I think it was on the MIL to specify she meant Cool Whip and not just frozen whipped topping. Since we, as a culture, ubiquitously use brand names as a shorthand for the items themselves and not specifically the store brand (if I need a ready-made adhesive bandage with an absorbent pad inside I ask for a Band-Aid, Kleenex for facial tissue, large swathes of the US refer to any type of highly sweetened carbonated beverage as ‘Coke’ or ‘cola’, chapstick, Vaseline, Tupperware, etc…) it’s not unreasonable to think that, unless specified, a request for something like Cool Whip (which can only be one thing—a stabilized frozen whipped topping) is a request for that general type of item and that if you can’t get the original any will do.

And as specified earlier, it's completely reasonable to pick up this 3 dollar item on the way there and not worry about making a special trip out for it ahead of time. Literally at most he could've added a "Sorry, they were out of Cool Whip I hope this is fine" and that's it. It's not his fault the parents are so suburban brained they think it's wrong if it's not the name brand.

My kid's elementary school principal was the "fun" principle who'd always dress up in silly outfits, like the whole school were reading a book about a skunk so he'd wear a full skunk costume. He had so many animal costumes to the point where I was like, yeah, dude's got something going on with that. He also had a fundraising contest where the class that raised the most money would get to pour ice cream, sauces, and whipped cream on him. Everything this guy did seemed like some kind of fetish.

(and I think stuff like taking your birthday off from work is weird).

This is insane to me, even if you like your job it's a defensible reason to take a day off. I have literally never worked a birthday in my life. It started as not going to class in college on my birthday and just kept on from there. Not that I ever do a lot but it's a day for me and everyone deserves a day for themselves.
