wheatpuppy posted:My (35M) gf (35F) tells her coworkers that we are cousins Like, I could see 6 months pretty easily, but in 6 years she never said "this is my boyfriend [person other than OP]" in the presence of the OP? She never told the OP "[boyfriend] proposed to me"? She never said "I had a date with [boyfriend]"? I can imagine that since the OP had decided that they were going out, he was willing to ignore a bunch of times when the not-girlfriend said things that seemed to not quite make sense, but you still think that in 6 years there would be at least one time when there was something so clear it couldn't be ignored. mystes fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Apr 3, 2024 |

One other thing is, the OP had no issue presumably not being introduced as her boyfriend for six years. But then as soon as she introduced him as he cousin, he was immediately concerned. So was she introducing him to other people as her "friend" for six years and he thought she just didn't feel like specifying boyfriend because it was none of their business? But now now that she was engaged she felt like it was better to say "cousin" than "friend" in case people might misunderstand and think they were going out?

I will say I want to believe it's real and also regardless of whether it's real or not I really like the misinterpretation of the double date. (Conversely, if it's fake that is actually quite an ingenious idea to come up with.)

I think the ai dating bot must be something like this: https://www.yourmove.ai/ I'm not surprised OP's girlfriend immediately dumped him when she found out because it means that the initial conversation she had where she felt like they had some sort of connection was actually with a bot

I like that they moved in to supposedly help with the baby (which they presumably haven't done?) and are paying zero bills despite working full time but they can't move out because they have nowhere to go? Also asking the son to not blast the horn for no reason does not exactly seem like an unreasonable request.

Not asking is dumb and she shouldn't have done that (he is right to be unhappy imo) but yelling is a bit excessive, assuming he was actually yelling. I think "please do not do that again" would have sufficed. mystes fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Apr 3, 2024 |

500excf type r posted:That's your projection tho If you think your spouse is unreasonable for not wanting a dog and don't care about their point of view, and therefore you feel like you should force a dog on them for their own good, maybe after that you will end up thinking they are unreasonable for not willing to take care of the dog and think you should force them to do that for their own good as well. A reasonable person would say "I won't always be available to take care of the dog and would need my spouse to help some of the time, so if they aren't able to do that, I shouldn't get a dog" and not take in the dog in the first place. So if you're already getting a dog with the plan to make them do something they aren't willing to do some of the time, what's to stop you from doing it most or all of the time? mystes fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Apr 3, 2024 |

It's interesting that the OP seems to have no sense of how rich their parents are. Like they're saying they looked up 1% and yes they're in the 1% and their parents' house cost 7 figures when they bought it but that's still pretty vague and that makes them which kind of makes it hard to evaluate the situation In a lot of places even fairly normal houses are a million dollars now unfortunately but I'm guessing their parents are actually much richer than just owning a 1 million dollar house they're trying to pay off mystes fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Apr 3, 2024 |

deety posted:I was eighteen, and we lived near the beach. But this kid was shocked beyond words that I'd never been skiing. I kept trying to tell him that skiing was too expensive, and he said, "It's not really that bad if you own your own skis!" However, despite all that, depending on where/when this conversation took place, it was sort of true in that the actual lift tickets didn't use to be that expensive so if you were really determined and you lived within a few hours of a ski slope and were willing to drive a ton you could make it fairly cheap. Now it's completely absurd and one day lift tickets are getting close to what season passes used to be like, so it's really a rich person hobby.

I honestly don't know what the right solution is there. I think lying to her husband about something like that is not great but it's kind of understandable given the circumstances.

John Wick of Dogs posted:That's total projection on his part, she just asked if there was a problem and if they should have gone to another restaurant imo either 1) He was weird about how he asked for a fork (like he was intentionally acting like he didn't want to be in a Chinese restaurant) 2) He just asked for a fork normally and she was actually acting snobbish about it as he described, or 3) The way he told the story was so inaccurate it's not worth trying to make sense of it I don't think it's really possible to distinguish between 1 and 2 just by reading his post, so I don't think it's possible to say whether it's projection or not, but if the sequence of events is anything like what he described it doesn't sound like the question about whether they should have gone to another restaurant was intended neutrally. That's not usually something you would say when someone has just started to eat their food unless there is some specific issue. mystes fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Apr 4, 2024 |

If they've caused incidents after getting drunk but OP feels the need to invite them anyway I don't really see the problem with getting them to agree not to drink and telling the bartender not to serve them?

quote:Semi night shifts? I work 6:30am-4pm. I don’t see how that’s a night shift in any shape or form. She advocated for me to change to this shift instead of the 9am-6pm I was working. Her literal main issue is that I get home and am tired and falling asleep at 8pm while she’s wide awake until 10-11pm at night. I’m wondering if you misread somewhere. I own my own home, and for a year long relationship I’m not selling it to move closer especially when I’m not done with my renovations. I’m the sole bread-winner in our relationship. She pays for nothing except her bills such as; insurance/phone/and a small rent payment to me that she insisted on. I pay for literally everything else such as; dining, concerts, vehicle repairs, unexpected poo poo and all of my home bills. Monetarily, she has got it beyond easy. Edit: oh wait In response to "Does she work?" quote:She does, 8am-4pm in person not WFH I guess he just meant that he's paying for almost everything, not that she wasn't working mystes fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Apr 4, 2024 |

I. M. Gei posted:A chiropractor is someone you go to if you really really need the pain to stop right now, but can't get in or afford to see an actual doctor for whatever reason (or if the problem isn't severe enough for a doctor to treat). They won't fix your problem and you shouldn't go to one long-term if you can help it, but if all you need is a quick fix to make some pain go away until you can see a real doctor, then a chiropractor isn't totally useless for that.
