33 | 1cbqlgg_l10hpty | null | l10hpty | So, long story short: a girl I like works at a place that does floral arrangements. So flowers wouldn't really work (kind of a shame tbh... I like flowers too. As a dude. I like flowers. And Jane Austen novels. Moving on!)
My usual go-to in this sort of situation is baking something (yes, as a dude), but this presents two issues: one, I've tried that already (baking things and getting stuff from a bakery) and she never seems super thrilled about it. Not displeased, just not super thrilled. Two, her family (if her family doesn't like me, I don't have a snowball's chance in hell) have a bunch of somewhat unusual allergies and the like (including Almonds, which means most Swedish cookies and also _Finska Pinnar_, which are delicious by the way, are off the table).
So what do I do? Just asking her out doesn't seem like the best course of action here. I have to take things carefully.
EDIT:
Also, I've thought about vinyl albums. A) expensive! B) I can all but guarantee she has the new Taylor Swift album already. I don't actually know, mind you... but it's a pretty safe bet. I'm still trying to get an idea of what her other preferences in music are (not sharing that info though).
EDIT 2:
Did not expect this to get nearly as much attention as it did. Thanks, all.
So if you're reading this thinking of something, here are a few things that have already been suggested:
- Lego flowers
- unironically flowers
- chocolate
- coffee
- books
- poems
- a pineapple (sure, why not)
- cheese
- smorgåsbörd (I hope I'm spelling that right)
- I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
Some ideas I've come up with (some have also been mentioned):
- woodworking
- tea
- smoked meat of most any sort
- an engraving of some sort
- record some songs and put them on a CD or something.
The general consensus is that something made with my own two hands is more valuable than something paid for. Obviously that won't work for pineapples, but the point remains. | What to give a girl other than flowers | 1cbqlgg | [

549 | 1bd718c_kuks8ze | null | kuks8ze | My great-aunt disappeared in the 90s. I wasn't around, but my father's mentioned it and my grandmother has mentioned it. Everyone basically seemed to say that she just picked up and left (she hadn't been close with her siblings and she didn't have children).
I've been doing some family research, and I found her name, so I Googled it. Then I Googled her with a different surname that I had seen on one of the documents that I'd found.
Apparently, she had been decapitated and mutilated.
Her body hadn't been identified until the 2000s, so I'm not sure whether my family knew and were trying to make a happy ending or whether they genuinely never found out what had happened. Even though it's available online, my parents and their family are fairly technologically incompetent.
So what do I do?

40 | 1cejnkg_l1j5pk4 | null | l1j5pk4 | I (37M) caught my wife (38F) wife cheating and i dont know what to do. We have been married 13 years and overall have had a good marriage. 4-5 years ago she told me she was bi as the LGBQ community has grown and become more mainstream. Im okay with that and dont have any issues with it.
At her pervious job she became friends with a trans women, which again i was okay with, and she has been handing out with this person more and more. its now been 1.5-2 years since their friendship started. I've been noticing she has been sneaking out in the early mornings... like 3-4 AM to go hand out with this friend. She is a early riser so I get it, but the other day she came back smelling like sex and went into the shower the moment she got home. She doesnt normally take showers in the AM.... in the past 13 years of marriage i can count on 1 hand the times she took a morning shower.
what should I do?
\*edit\* we do have a 9 year old son, and our life overall works well, we do demend on each other financially as the world we live in now adays is crazy expensive. we have a very low mortgage on a house so its hard to see myself selling the house to pay 2X for an appartment by myself ya know? | Caught my wife cheating - what do i do? | 1cejnkg | [

"value": "2017 was my same year for your situation OP. All-around shitty relationship that ended after almost two years, during the longest road trip of my life that I knew I shouldn't have gone on with him and his buddies (he was paranoid I'd steal his shit and/or cheat on him??) leaving me virtually alone to cope the whole time; then after getting back him going through this weird phase of wanting cuddling and sex... then basically me finally being able to move out into a new place, all the while starts picking up a new chick from some bar a month later, and my Gramps passing in the same month. It took me over a year to officially move on and get over my feelings and realizing that he was an all-around toxic, insecure person - and a HUGE weight was lifted off my shoulders. He eventually did nothing but bring out the worst in me - parts of me I hope to NEVER see again, let alone show to another person. I should have seen the red flags during our first verbal altercation when he thought it was \"\"normal\"\" because of how he was \"\"raised\"\", especially when he'd tell me about his abusive childhood. I regret that I never went through my first initial suggestion for us to live apart. He didn't like that and gave the ultimatum that he would break up with me than let me live apart from him, again, due to his cheating paranoia. To this day he's still the most attractive dude I ever dated, and regardless of the toxicity of the relationship, I never once considered cheating on him, especially when the sexy time was fantastic. Which is I guess leads to his major insecurity issues from growing up, and having been cheated on in the past. I just have so many regrets for not following my gut. I could have saved myself tons of heart ache, stress, and have less grey hairs. In any case, good for you OP. We all get there eventually!"

720 | 14pah49_jqi4p46 | null | jqi4p46 | Sorry if my post is a bit convoluted or messy. To start off I’m a teenager and working for the first time at a amusement park. All in all I think I get along with all my coworkers very well, I like all of them and think they like me. A few days ago I was sitting down when this coworker (we’ll call him John) I’m kind of buddy buddy with, but not as close as the others comes up to me and just randomly drops a bomb on me that I should “be careful” because some of the girls said I make them uncomfortable. There have been some instances where John has rubbed me the wrong way, but I wouldn’t say that he was lying just to get to me or anything. I asked him what he meant, and I was told that I was a “bit touchy” with people, and mentioned one girl in specific. I tried to think but I couldn’t remember anytime I was touchy with her, or much less anyone, but my issue is I genuinely have such a bad memory that I could be fooled into thinking I owe someone money from ages ago, and I’m worried I did something accidentally and just forgot. I really felt awful the rest of the day, and still kinda do. I ended up asking two female coworkers if I ever made them uncomfortable, (awkward, I know) and they both said no and that they liked me. At one point my supervisor, (cool guy and around my age) noticed that I was upset and asked me why, to which I told him and he said that he never heard anyone say they disliked me, or that I make them uncomfortable, and that I was well-liked. This made me feel a bit better, but I still have a nagging feeling, and also don’t want to make people uncomfortable nor have the reputation of that as I like my job.
I’ve been trying to be more “aware” of how I act around most of the girls, and be more physically distant while I’m there, but it’s awkward as some of them catch on. Should I ask and apologize to the girl that John specified told him? I don’t want to make her uncomfortable but I also don’t want there to be bad blood or anything. | Coworker told me I make the girls uncomfortable | 14pah49 | [

Me and my girlfriend have had a wonderful 6 year relationship. We communicated well, we both had great senses of humor, did almost everything together and had very good intimacy and romance. It was a very healthy relationship. Of course like all relationships there were some issues I was not perfect and neither was she but overall I would say it was a very healthy relationship with a very rare fight.
I apologize for giving so much context but I truly loved her with every fiber of my being and I still do. I have cried and cried and cried. My emotional state has been a wreck and the only thing that held me together was my family and I thank god for them. They were all just as shocked as I was when I broke the news that she broke up with me.
About 6 months ago I noticed some changes in my girlfriends behavior. She seemed to be emotionally unstable. During this 6 months I knew something was wrong and would ask maybe once a week what was going on with her. She would cry and tell me she's just been so stressed with school, her part time corporate job and her upcoming graduation from college. I am 1 year ahead of her so I completely understood where she was coming from or so I thought. I would give her advice tell her how I dealt with it and that it does get easier. It's a large transition and to not put so many high expectations on yourself and would hug her and tell her she would be more than fine. She has had past emotional turbulances over big life events and so did not expect it to last but of course still kept up with her making sure she was good. Even talked to my parents about it.
Then about 3 months before the breakup she would just start randomly crying in bed. Seemed like she wouldn't even look at me, never said “I love you” before leaving and whenever I had a family event she would abstain. Work for her was super stressful and school and combined with her already bad emotional state I figured she just needed some time for her and I was totally okay with that. What I did not appreciate was her not telling me she loved me anymore even if it had just been for a little. It made me feel weird. I told her that she was going through a lot and it was okay to need a little space or sometimes just be a little depressed but not telling me she loved me was hurting me. She agreed and apologized to me. At this time we were also looking for an apartment to move in together and had just got a nice little place. I was incredibly excited and so was she at first and then she just seemed to drop it altogether I had put the 1k security deposit down as she did not have the money but would have a full time job right after college and just told her to pay me half her first paycheck.
I think we can all see where this is going except I felt blindsided. About a month and a half ago she gets home from school and it looked like she had been crying. She said she wanted to break up but wasn't totally sure. I was shocked I asked her if everything was okay what the heck happened and she didn't really say much just that she needed time to think. I agreed. It was a Thursday. She said she was gonna take a whole week to think about it. Well it wasn't a week. That Sunday she gave me her decision in person.
She told me that she did not feel loved by me anymore. That the same spark we had at the beginning of our relationship was gone. I did not plan enough cute dates and things to do and she felt neglected. I didn't even fight anything she said I just listened in a state of shock. She said she also needed to find herself and that she was “young.” she also took a jab at my current job and made it seem like I was wasting my life away. It was my first full time job out of college and I haven't even been here a full year. I had zero plans to stay longer than two years. I begged her to not end the relationship. I asked if there WAS ANYTHING we could do. She said no I cried and held her and she just blankly stared crying too. I helped moved all her stuff out.
This is where I think I made a major mistake as she was leaving I asked her if she was COMPLETELY sure of her decision. She admitted she was unsure still. I explained that maybe we should give it a month. And if she wanted to talk in a month we could under the condition she was still faithful otherwise I would move on completely. I felt this was fair. I still love her very much and seeing her leave completely out of my life would break me.
We said goodbye and she left. I blocked her on everything. I had to otherwise I would texted her, called her and overall been more of wreck. The only thing I did not block her on was her email address as she said she was going to pay for the security deposit and in case she left anything she missed at my place.
I was good with it. Slowly moving with life still heartbroken and in shambles but moving on step at a time. Then out of nowhere about a week and a half after the break up i receive an email saying that she made a mistake and was a bad person and she missed me dearly. I admit I emailed back but then I received another email before I could finish saying to “disregard” what she said. I was mad as all hell and sent back an email telling her to stop fucking with my emotions and to not talk to me until the end of the month in person like we planned. She never responded.
The end of the month comes around. I unblocked her number and texted her to get my answer about talking in person and perhaps getting back together as previously planned. I was expecting a no and had already come to terms with it but she had texted back that she still wanted to talk in person. We had more conversations through text and it was going well. She seemed like she missed talking to me and admitted that she did not appreciate me enough and now saw that I did love her just in my own way.
I thanked her for what she said and also explained that I could have been better in some areas too. It was going great and we talked again like we used to for about 2 days. We were gonna pick a date to talk and she wanted it to be a little later since her finals were finishing up. I agreed but I asked the question that was eating me.
Did she see anyone else?
She admitted to me she did a random man at a bar. They had sex. (for context she was my first and I hers) and it broke me. It fucking broke my ego. It broke my mental state all over again. She apologized profusely and said it was an awful experience and she felt used and disgusted by her actions and that she couldn't even hold off for one month to give me fair closure. I came home from work that day and went into a rage. A rage I have never experienced. I destroyed memories. Crying like a kid who experienced their first broke bone. I couldn't believe it. Not even two weeks after our relationship she fucked somebody else and couldn't even hold out 1 month. It shattered my image of her. I felt
Petty for caring so much but loyalty is important to me. Always has been and she knew that.
But she said she also wants to make this work and still talk in person. I agreed to the in person meeting as I have questions now. But I don't know to do. My rage passed and now I am just confused. I talked to my dad about it and he said I need to move on she showed her true colors. But at the same time I feel petty and like I could see past this if she really did regret it. I'm torn on what to do. I want to move on with my life and leave it at that. But I also still love her deeply. I'm broken mostly at the end of the day. I don't know what to do. | My girlfriend of 6 years broke up with me out of the blue and had sex some random stranger not even two weeks after and now seems like she wants to get back together.

I am 1 year ahead of her so I completely understood where she was coming from or so I thought. I would give her advice tell her how I dealt with it and that it does get easier. It's a large transition and to not put so many high expectations on yourself and would hug her and tell her she would be more than fine. She has had past emotional turbulances over big life events and so did not expect it to last but of course still kept up with her making sure she was good. Even talked to my parents about it. \n\n\nThen about 3 months before the breakup she would just start randomly crying in bed. Seemed like she wouldn't even look at me, never said “I love you” before leaving and whenever I had a family event she would abstain. Work for her was super stressful and school and combined with her already bad emotional state I figured she just needed some time for her and I was totally okay with that. What I did not appreciate was her not telling me she loved me anymore even if it had just been for a little. It made me feel weird. I told her that she was going through a lot and it was okay to need a little space or sometimes just be a little depressed but not telling me she loved me was hurting me. She agreed and apologized to me. At this time we were also looking for an apartment to move in together and had just got a nice little place. I was incredibly excited and so was she at first and then she just seemed to drop it altogether I had put the 1k security deposit down as she did not have the money but would have a full time job right after college and just told her to pay me half her first paycheck. \n\nI think we can all see where this is going except I felt blindsided. About a month and a half ago she gets home from school and it looked like she had been crying. She said she wanted to break up but wasn't totally sure. I was shocked I asked her if everything was okay what the heck happened and she didn't really say much just that she needed time to think. I agreed. It was a Thursday. She said she was gonna take a whole week to think about it. Well it wasn't a week. That Sunday she gave me her decision in person. \n\nShe told me that she did not feel loved by me anymore. That the same spark we had at the beginning of our relationship was gone. I did not plan enough cute dates and things to do and she felt neglected. I didn't even fight anything she said I just listened in a state of shock. She said she also needed to find herself and that she was “young.” she also took a jab at my current job and made it seem like I was wasting my life away. It was my first full time job out of college and I haven't even been here a full year. I had zero plans to stay longer than two years. I begged her to not end the relationship. I asked if there WAS ANYTHING we could do. She said no I cried and held her and she just blankly stared crying too. I helped moved all her stuff out. \n\nThis is where I think I made a major mistake as she was leaving I asked her if she was COMPLETELY sure of her decision. She admitted she was unsure still. I explained that maybe we should give it a month. And if she wanted to talk in a month we could under the condition she was still faithful otherwise I would move on completely. I felt this was fair. I still love her very much and seeing her leave completely out of my life would break me. \n\nWe said goodbye and she left. I blocked her on everything. I had to otherwise I would texted her, called her and overall been more of wreck. The only thing I did not block her on was her email address as she said she was going to pay for the security deposit and in case she left anything she missed at my place. \n\nI was good with it. Slowly moving with life still heartbroken and in shambles but moving on step at a time. Then out of nowhere about a week and a half after the break up i receive an email saying that she made a mistake and was a bad person and she missed me dearly. I admit I emailed back but then I received another email before I could finish saying to “disregard” what she said. I was mad as all hell and sent back an email telling her to stop fucking with my emotions and to not talk to me until the end of the month in person like we planned. She never responded.\n\nThe end of the month comes around. I unblocked her number and texted her to get my answer about talking in person and perhaps getting back together as previously planned. I was expecting a no and had already come to terms with it but she had texted back that she still wanted to talk in person. We had more conversations through text and it was going well. She seemed like she missed talking to me and admitted that she did not appreciate me enough and now saw that I did love her just in my own way. \n\nI thanked her for what she said and also explained that I could have been better in some areas too. It was going great and we talked again like we used to for about 2 days. We were gonna pick a date to talk and she wanted it to be a little later since her finals were finishing up. I agreed but I asked the question that was eating me. \n\nDid she see anyone else? \n\nShe admitted to me she did a random man at a bar. They had sex. (for context she was my first and I hers) and it broke me. It fucking broke my ego. It broke my mental state all over again. She apologized profusely and said it was an awful experience and she felt used and disgusted by her actions and that she couldn't even hold off for one month to give me fair closure. I came home from work that day and went into a rage. A rage I have never experienced. I destroyed memories. Crying like a kid who experienced their first broke bone. I couldn't believe it. Not even two weeks after our relationship she fucked somebody else and couldn't even hold out 1 month. It shattered my image of her. I felt\nPetty for caring so much but loyalty is important to me. Always has been and she knew that. \n\nBut she said she also wants to make this work and still talk in person. I agreed to the in person meeting as I have questions now. But I don't know to do. My rage passed and now I am just confused. I talked to my dad about it and he said I need to move on she showed her true colors. But at the same time I feel petty and like I could see past this if she really did regret it. I'm torn on what to do. I want to move on with my life and leave it at that. But I also still love her deeply. I'm broken mostly at the end of the day. I don't know what to do. "

She is a very selfish person, and she doesn't have the capacity to understand this right now because she is drowning. Probably has been for a while now. Probably before you met her. What you are to her is a medicine. She's using you and the relationship to feel better, to feel steady and anchored, in her life. But she has problems she's not solving, and a relationship doesn't fix life problems. She needs to figure all this out before she will be ready. And she hasn't figured it out in **6 years**. So at this point, probably she will need therapy to figure it out. Getting back with her will be her using you to feel ok. Her not fixing her problems. Her scrambling for anything that looks inflatable like a life vest. She isn't ready. She will just use you again. It will just be this again.

The management has gone down over the past few years, but the assistant GM specifically crosses the line frequently. The guy is in his late 30s early 40s and has a young daughter ~9 years old, but he thinks it's appropriate to be flirtatious with his younger female staff. It's a fast food restaurant so there are a lot of highschool kids who work there. Nothing ever comes of it though because it's always just him making inappropriate comments in person and no one will report him or stand up to him. My girlfriend (mid 20s) has also received unwanted attention from the assistant GM, but she actually said something to HR. HR basically acknowledged that the GM acted like that and dismissed it because "he's just such a
flirt isn't he?" Anytime he makes an inappropriate comment, and my girlfriend doesn't humor him then he acts like a jerk for the next few weeks.

19 | 1co1k63_l3b2zp5 | null | l3b2zp5 | She is 60 and has smoked since she was 12. My parents are divorced and I would see her on weekends. She would get mad at me as a kid for showing discomfort around her smoking, exclaiming that my dad and stepmom smoked in the house and I didn’t have a problem with that (I did I would tell her), but they had a big house and I would leave the room. My parents would also smoke in the car with us.
When I brought my boyfriend over a year ago to meet her, she made a big deal out of her smoking, and acted like I was going to be really mad about her smoking, she was like, “omg is it okay, I hope you’re not mad at me!!! I’ll go in the other room and smoke!!! I don’t want to disturb you sweetheart!!!” But she was obviously very salty about her having to feel bad smoking next to me, she embarrassed me by making me look disrespectful of her in her home even though I said it’s fine over and over and over. I haven’t brought my boyfriend over again because I feel she always tries to make me look bad and her like a victim or martyr in front of others.
She is a chain smoker and now has a vascular disease. They told her to stop smoking. She hasn’t yet. Her arteries are closing up. I believe it is hereditary. She makes me feel like a brat for not wanting to breathe in the smoke.
I hate the smell and how it’s bad for my health. After leaving her house I still smell it after I shower and all my clothes and purse stink. Sometimes I have said in the past that I don’t want to come inside her house because I know when I leave I will have to shower and wash all my clothes or else they will smell.
Also, she smokes like two packs a day, chain smoking. She is on disability for mental illness and is very habituated to smoking all day.

I apologize if updates aren't allowed, I messaged the mods and got no response so I'm just going to ask for forgiveness instead of permission.
Some helpful people suggested I contact my local version of the Big Brother program, and they were happy to help me out getting everything official and less sketchy, although they needed her guardian's permission first. On my part I needed to get a background check from the police.
I sat down with her and explained what I was planning, and she seemed excited. I was a bit worried about what would happen when I asked to contact her parents as previous attempts had not been successful, but she gave me their phone number, and we got to chatting about the fun things we could do outside of just playing tennis.
I gave her mother a call the next day and explained who I was, how I knew her daughter and why I thought it would be a good idea for me to become her Big Brother. Her mother seemed very weirded out, understandably, but over all pretty nice. We agreed that I would drive her home the next time we played tennis so we could meet in person.
The day came and after kicking her ass (my forehand is mint boi), we hopped in the car and headed to her place. Her mother was just as I imagined from speaking on the phone, a completely normal human being. Her father however was a different story. If I say he was creepy it implies something sexual, but I don't mean creepy in that way. He had almost no emotions, he smiled when he first saw me, but it was not a normal smile. If I said something funny and he would laugh, but it was like a robot might laugh. Very fucking bizarre dude, just something off about him. Overall though I thought our meeting went well, they just asked that I wait until I got my background check before I did anything other than play tennis with her which is super reasonable and I'm actually glad they weren't willing to sign their kid up to some strange dude without it.
I went home and was super happy with how everything went. I was a tad worried her house was going to be some shit-hole and her parents were going to be druggies, but my fears were thankfully unfounded. A few days went past, and I was chillin', when I got a knock on the door. I open it and 3 cops are standing there looking too happy to see me. They ask me to come down to the station for an interview about the girl, although they tell me I'm not being arrested and it is voluntary. I may come across as naive in my last post, but even I can see that I need a fucking lawyer, so I tell them I'll meet with them when the time suits me.
After frantically Googling around for a lawyer, I find one who seems to be competent. He rings the police station and asks what they want to interview me about, but they are tight-lipped and only let on that it's about me hanging out with the kid. I speak to my lawyer for a bit and despite his hesitation, I agree to meet with the police and try and explain whats going on. I bring with me as much evidence as I can, my call logs to child services (surprisingly difficult to request that where I live annoyingly), my correspondences with the Big Brother people, I even printed off my Reddit post. Anything to make me look like the upstanding person I am.
The interview was nice, when I started laying out evidence of my good-intent they were surprisingly accepting of it. The fact that I had made multiple calls to child services went a long way to convincing them I meant no harm. There were a couple of things that irked me though, and I don't know if they will ever stop irking me. I overheard the police multiple times say "he's not the guy". The way they said it implied they were still looking for someone after me. The next thing that irked me was one of the officers told me that the reason he didn't think it was me was because "when she texted you and said her boobs were sore, you didn't engage." I've read through our text messages 3 times now looking for anything vaguely similar to that sentiment and I'm coming up with zip. I mean, I know nothing would turn up because I have never talked to a kid about their boobs in my life, but still I've triple checked.
I've thought it over and over in my mind, and the only conclusion I can make is that I was not the only man she was interacting with. I can't think of anything else. Why else would the police imply they'll keep looking for someone after clearing me? And then to bring up a conversation that never happened? He must've confused my convos with someone else's. At least if she has been interacting with other people in inappropriate ways the police are involved and they can catch the guy, but sure as shit I'm not speaking to her ever again.
Thank you to everyone for their advice, it definitely was inappropriate of me to be hanging out with her alone and I'm glad you guys told me so. My background check came in the mail today and so I think I will still go ahead with signing up with the Big Brother program, but it will be with a random kid and more importantly with their parents permission.
​

Anything to make me look like the upstanding person I am.\n\nThe interview was nice, when I started laying out evidence of my good-intent they were surprisingly accepting of it. The fact that I had made multiple calls to child services went a long way to convincing them I meant no harm. There were a couple of things that irked me though, and I don't know if they will ever stop irking me. I overheard the police multiple times say \"he's not the guy\". The way they said it implied they were still looking for someone after me. The next thing that irked me was one of the officers told me that the reason he didn't think it was me was because \"when she texted you and said her boobs were sore, you didn't engage.\" I've read through our text messages 3 times now looking for anything vaguely similar to that sentiment and I'm coming up with zip. I mean, I know nothing would turn up because I have never talked to a kid about their boobs in my life, but still I've triple checked.\n\nI've thought it over and over in my mind, and the only conclusion I can make is that I was not the only man she was interacting with. I can't think of anything else. Why else would the police imply they'll keep looking for someone after clearing me? And then to bring up a conversation that never happened? He must've confused my convos with someone else's. At least if she has been interacting with other people in inappropriate ways the police are involved and they can catch the guy, but sure as shit I'm not speaking to her ever again.\n\nThank you to everyone for their advice, it definitely was inappropriate of me to be hanging out with her alone and I'm glad you guys told me so. My background check came in the mail today and so I think I will still go ahead with signing up with the Big Brother program, but it will be with a random kid and more importantly with their parents permission.\n\n​\n\nEdit: My lawyer was with me for the police interview, he just thought it was a bad idea. What does he know though, pfft I've seen Better Call Saul Season 1, I know all about the law."

My older brother is about a year and a half older than me. Idk what tf happened but we used to be pretty close when we were younger. By the time I was in 7th grade, he did not SPEAK to me in public. When I hit freshman year, he didn’t even address me at home.
My mom made it so that I had to beg for his approval and she wouldn’t help. She said I “did something” that he won’t ever forget and I have to work for his approval. For years both him and my mom have told me that I’m nothing more than an embarrassment. He’s even gone as far as indirectly call me a slut (I was a virgin until earlier this year - TMI but you get the point). When my mom would call us over to sit down and talk, he won’t face/look at me and would degrade me in third person and address my mom and she would LET him do that.
My older brother graduates from college in the spring. He moved and I haven’t seen him for 4 years now. When my dad told me to call my brother during dinner one day I said no. My mom asked why and I told her he disrespected me for years. She said I shouldn’t hold a grudge and that pissed me off. I told her about what he called me, how he wouldn’t look at me, wouldn’t even address me in public or at home and apparently she said he had a “reason” and won’t tell me. This was news to my dad, who traveled for work and recently retired.
I recently left my family and live on my own fully supporting myself because of the disrespect they’ve given me for years. I can see my mom doing the same thing to my younger siblings and I constantly step in so that their relationship doesn’t get ruined as bad as mine & my older brother’s.
I don’t hate my brother. I just have 0 love or tolerance for him anymore and, to this day, he won’t address, message, talk to me and has me blocked on every social media app. I do not want to text, call, or attend his stupid ass graduation.
Am I in the wrong here? Should I spend an entire week with a brother who constantly pretends I don’t exist, that I’m disgusting, repulsive?
Fucking hell, once he made a reservation for MY birthday cuz my dad sent him money to do so, he picked out a restaurant and “forgot” to put my name on the list. I spent my 16th sitting in a car crying my eyes out and then falling asleep in the trunk, they were in the restaurant for 4 hours and didn’t even bring leftovers.

When my mom would call us over to sit down and talk, he won’t face/look at me and would degrade me in third person and address my mom and she would LET him do that.\n\nMy older brother graduates from college in the spring. He moved and I haven’t seen him for 4 years now. When my dad told me to call my brother during dinner one day I said no. My mom asked why and I told her he disrespected me for years. She said I shouldn’t hold a grudge and that pissed me off. I told her about what he called me, how he wouldn’t look at me, wouldn’t even address me in public or at home and apparently she said he had a “reason” and won’t tell me. This was news to my dad, who traveled for work and recently retired.\n\nI recently left my family and live on my own fully supporting myself because of the disrespect they’ve given me for years. I can see my mom doing the same thing to my younger siblings and I constantly step in so that their relationship doesn’t get ruined as bad as mine & my older brother’s.\n\nI don’t hate my brother. I just have 0 love or tolerance for him anymore and, to this day, he won’t address, message, talk to me and has me blocked on every social media app. I do not want to text, call, or attend his stupid ass graduation.\n\nAm I in the wrong here? Should I spend an entire week with a brother who constantly pretends I don’t exist, that I’m disgusting, repulsive?\n\nFucking hell, once he made a reservation for MY birthday cuz my dad sent him money to do so, he picked out a restaurant and “forgot” to put my name on the list. I spent my 16th sitting in a car crying my eyes out and then falling asleep in the trunk, they were in the restaurant for 4 hours and didn’t even bring leftovers.\n\nI don’t know what to do, I’m fucking angry and upset again and idk who to ask but Reddit rn..."

696 | 1bb552g_ku72qxy | null | ku72qxy | My gf and I have been together for a few months now, and recently we’ve been discussing sex for the first time. As soon as I mentioned that I was uncut, she was horrified - refusing to have sex with me until I circumcised it first. She claimed that by being uncut I could give her sexual infections, and I made the situation worse by saying I would never circumcise my children. Now she’s really angry at me for not wanting to circumcise my kids, the relationship is turning sour and we haven’t spoke in over 24 hours.
2 things I need advice with: 1, is the anything I can do to fix the relationship? Should I just circumcise anyway to save face? 2, I’m not sure how I’d give her a sexual infection when I’m a virgin - does she just hate uncut penises, or maybe it’s a religious tradition?
Thanks for reading 😀
Edit: an hour has gone by, and I brought this up again. At first she ignored it and refused to talk about it, but now it’s another argument. All responses I get, including responses people from here told me to use, are either her paraphrasing the original point, or sending laugh emojis to me. At one point, she said that women only want circumcised men since it feels better - but to be honest, I don’t care anymore. She’s completely ignoring any research papers I’m sending, instead trying to put her opinions onto me instead, and is completely in denial - it’s like I’m dealing with a conspiracy theorist. I’m out of here and blocking her. Thanks everyone for the help! 😀

I think it’s a little ridiculous for her to be worried about STIs from an uncut penis. But you should wash before and after sex. Not only is it hygienic but makes sex more comfortable and fun because you’re not worried about not being clean enough. She should too. On the other hand, if that’s how she feels about you and her future children, I think that is a pretty big value indicator and would have a very serious discussion about your future. She also doesn’t have a penis and is not the expert on what having a penis is like or circumcision."

A friend of a friend was selling a trailer in a trailer park a few towns away. We had no other options, so we used our saved up down payment to buy it in full. We went from a ~$150,000 house to a trailer that needs some work, plus a 40 minute drive for me to get to work. But cut our expenses (between new utility projections and lot rent) by about $1000 a month. It'll still be a struggle due to income changes but we'll survive.
We moved in 2 weeks ago. Our son made a friend who lives a few trailers away. He's 12 and a nice kid, but his family fits the stereotype of trailer park people. The boy is severely underweight and free roams all day. He walks into our place without knocking, which is dangerous for us because we own 3 very expensive exotic birds. We've resorted to having to keep doors locked at all times to prevent him just walking in. When we do let him in, he starts playing with our gaming devices without asking, raids our fridge, goes in whatever room he wants... It's a bit disturbing.
I've met his mom and she is very odd. I hate to be "that" kind of person, but she seems unfit. She seems to be very mentally ill and appears to have a drug problem
Since the day we moved in, he shows up at or just before dinner time every single day. He makes comments about how he's hungry and asks if he can eat. I feel horrible for him because I do not want to see kids hungry and he's clearly underfed at home. But we can't afford to feed him everyday.

Is it weird that an older male HS coach texts a certain 15yo girl on the team a lot? Almost daily. Nothing is inappropriate - I’ve read all the texts between them. But gets upset if she doesn’t say hi during practice, or always has something to text only to her, not the whole team. Everyone knows she is the coaches favorite.
So now she is starting to feel weirded out, wants him to stop texting, but doesn’t know how to say something. She wants to continue to play on the team, but fears he will retaliate if she says stop texting me - by punishing all players/bad mood during practices/games, or just have her sit out on games from now on. What makes it worse is that her younger sister has started to play on that team too, so he might retaliate on her as well.
What should she do/say?
Edit/update - all, I really appreciate all of you who took time out of your day to respond. Thank you. After some urging, she told her mom, who then texted the coach to never txt her again and only speak to her during practice/games. Her mom is pissed. She said he apologized to her mom and said he understands fully.. so maybe he will leave her alone now. | Coach texts 15yo female player too much | 13ebe4o | [

The customer base mostly consists of older guys that like to joke around and I took to the job quickly and built strong relationships with my customers. Since I'm new, my managers gave me this one account to manage. I thought this was super nice but I quickly learned why they did not want to deal with this guy.

1,652 | f8ynvq_fioc12e | null | fioc12e | We currently have nine cats. *Nine*. I cannot take it anymore. We burn through cat food, which has to be an expensive brand because of my roommate's cat and its bowel problems. The house and my clothes are constantly covered in hair. It always smells in here. My furniture is forever ruined. One of the little buggers always has diarrhea and goes outside of the box. Another one likes to spray on everything even though he is fixed.
I am sick of it. When we moved into this house, a little less than two years ago, we had three cats, one of which came along with the property. That's a lot, but manageable. We then asked a friend to move in and he brought along his two cats. Five. Okay, that's a little too many, but I wasn't being driven insane, yet.
Then we bring in two stray kittens that are now adults. Then a cat shows up and my girlfriend mistakenly brings it in, but instead of putting it back out immediately she puts up a fight about how the cat belongs to *someone* and we need to shelter it from the incoming severe weather. I went to sleep pissed, but I actually expected her and my roommate to make an effort of finding that cat's home, instead of going to two houses and calling it quits. Then, another cat.
Here I am. Overwhelmed by cats. I am tired of it. I'm ready to find five cats good homes. I do not want to take them to a shelter, but I am not opposed to it. We managed to give away an entire litter within a month, but that was cute little kittens. This will be harder, and I need some good advice so that I can finally find peace.

He makes comments about my breasts and says if I wasn't in a relationship we'd have had sex by now. He is not my type, never has been, and I've made it very clear we're just friends but he won't stop.
Tonight he asked me to pretend to be his gf and when I said no he told me to stop being a killjoy. He made many comments about how I was dressing up for him by wearing a low cut top (I was literally in my work clothes and my shirt was not low cut at all). He then tried to pressure me into going out clubbing just the two of us and wouldn't take no for an answer. I told him I was leaving in a minute and went to the bathroom but when I got back he had bought 4 more drinks and said I was a pussy if I didn't finish the 2 he got for me. I said no and that he shouldn't have bought them as I said I wanted to leave but then he said he wouldn't leave with me unless I finished them (I don't get taxis alone at night). I downed them and said I was leaving, he then acted really pissy in the car ride home and kept trying to get me to come back to his "to see where the night takes us". I got out of the taxi early and walked the rest of the way home. He sees no problem with his behaviour and keeps saying I'm flirting with him when I'm literally just talking to him.

I’m not sure what you believe in, if anything, however maybe it’ll be paid forwards and another opportunity will arise where you can continue helping those in need - it is not replacing what you’ve already experienced, but it allows you to move past the incredibly horrific situation you are in now and remember the wonderful bond.

1,523 | dfa3oc_f3251z8 | null | f3251z8 | My daughter is a brilliant girl, she's just graduated high school and is about to enter college at SIXTEEN. When I was her age I was an absolute idiot (Shit I mean I HAD her when I was sixteen). However when it comes to seeing red flags/character flaws, my daughter is kind of stupid. My daughter is an adult in my eyes, she has a scholarship full ride, a job and is pretty self sufficient, so there is NO guerrilla style parenting to be done, I just need to convince her with logic that her new boyfriend is a total piece of shit. Essentially she started dating this 18 year old guy we'll just call Devon 2 months ago. Devon rubbed me the wrong way instantly, he's a college football player of like 6'4 with blonde hair (Just imagine a stereotypical rich douche bag who plays football in school). When we first met he was trying to charm me the best he could with a disgustingly superficial mask. When I first went to dinner with his family and my daughter there were multiple red flags I spotted instantly when paying attention to their relationship dynamic. When Devon's parents asked her questions Devon would motion her to stop talking and then talk over her, he'd constantly tell my daughter what to do and when, he seemed super controlling. I did a background check on him and what do you know, he had a DUI from like 8 months ago when he had first turned 18.
I had also noticed little things as well, such as one time I watched him drop my daughter off and he didn't know I was watching, and he was speeding at like 40 in a residential before dropping her off and peeling out like a douche.

My daughter is a brilliant girl, she's just graduated high school and is about to enter college at SIXTEEN. When I was her age I was an absolute idiot (Shit I mean I HAD her when I was sixteen). However when it comes to seeing red flags/character flaws, my daughter is kind of stupid. My daughter is an adult in my eyes, she has a scholarship full ride, a job and is pretty self sufficient, so there is NO guerrilla style parenting to be done, I just need to convince her with logic that her new boyfriend is a total piece of shit. Essentially she started dating this 18 year old guy we'll just call Devon 2 months ago. Devon rubbed me the wrong way instantly, he's a college football player of like 6'4 with blonde hair (Just imagine a stereotypical rich douche bag who plays football in school). When we first met he was trying to charm me the best he could with a disgustingly superficial mask. When I first went to dinner with his family and my daughter there were multiple red flags I spotted instantly when paying attention to their relationship dynamic. When Devon's parents asked her questions Devon would motion her to stop talking and then talk over her, he'd constantly tell my daughter what to do and when, he seemed super controlling. I did a background check on him and what do you know, he had a DUI from like 8 months ago when he had first turned 18.\n\nI had also noticed little things as well, such as one time I watched him drop my daughter off and he didn't know I was watching, and he was speeding at like 40 in a residential before dropping her off and peeling out like a douche. I really just don't like this kid and he seems EXACTLY like my ex wife who was a fucking psychotic bitch who made my life hell every day. Thing is, I can't really do dick about it.

4,921 | izzx7i_g6mycyc | null | g6mycyc | EDIT1: my sister (who should be a private eye honestly) managed to find his grandparents and their phone number so his grandmother is currently on her way. Thanks to everyone who offered their advice. This is the first time anything like this has happened and I was more concerned with protecting the kid than worrying about the legality of doing so, so thank you for reminding me to do things correctly
EDIT2: I just woke up to an inbox of very mixed feelings from people who think I did the right thing, wrong thing, dumb thing, etc. and I'm sure there will be a similar mix regardless of what I say but here's more details I didn't mention before I went to sleep.
* I live in a predominately black neighborhood in a southern state. I just moved here less than two months ago and haven't seen many police but, from previous experiences, the cops aren't my first choice of who to call.
* The little boy was also black and reminded me of one of my nephews. I'm 26 and my 18yr nephew (it's my sister's home) was also here with me so I didn't even think of anybody potentially thinking we were doing something to the kid. When I was his age I frequently hung out with the older kid (like 10yrs older) next door and his friends (they never bullied me or made me feel like I was annoying) so as soon as I saw him that's what I was reminded of.
* As soon as I sat him down on the couch and turned some cartoons on, I went into the other room and facetimed my older sister who lives there but was out of town. She said he was the kid from next door and that she had his uncle's number (who also lives there) and was going to try and call him first because the boy said he wanted either his uncle, or he wanted to go to his older brother's (14) house.
* His older brother is a half brother from what it seems, and lives with his biological father and his paternal grandparents (so no relation to his mom). The kid told me he doesn't know his real father.
* He said he didn't have any phone numbers for anyone besides his mom but he knew the name of the street that his older brother lived on, and the names of that kid's grandparents. I told my sister all of this and within like 10mins she had found one of the grandparents and spoke to them on the phone.
* I have heard horror stories about CPS, the foster care system, and police so forgive me for not immediately choosing those options. Especially as a black man. From my perspective those were not the safest option for the kid.
* In terms of bruises, he said he had none. He also said it was the first time she'd ever done that but that she threatens to a lot.
* He said the reason he got in trouble was because his mom thought he had called one of his teachers "the B-word" through his virtual learning thing. He said it wasn't him and that someone else must have signed in with his account and typed it. I don't know if I believe the whole story but I thought if he had planned his escape out like this and actually executed then it really must've been that bad of a beating.
* I asked him if he felt safe at home and his reply was "I don't feel safe for my little brother"
* Since I live next door I'm gonna make sure to keep an eye on him and his little brother and invite them over (I have other nieces and nephews nearby that are his age) even just to make sure his mom knows somebody else is aware of them and is watching/listening.
* Oh, and the reason why I thought calling the cops would benefit me more than the child is because it would absolve me from anything like kidnapping, harboring, or child endangerment etc. but would most likely result in one of the cops staying with him talking with him while the other goes to the house and explains what's happening. That would inevitably lead to the kid going right back to that house.
* The only other element I can think of is that I won't say I fully believe that it is an abusive home because I know of a lot of black moms that spank their kids pretty hard sometimes but still love them to death. It's not always out of hate, sometimes it's because they haven't been taught a better option. So I'm not 100% convinced but I'll definitely make sure they know we've got both kid's backs.
* Also, in the potential situation where it's not an abusive home but maybe a little too heavy handed/frequent with the corporal punishment, that genuinely could be a better situation than foster care. Which is all kinds of messed up but a definite possibility.

I have made so many mistakes in life- I'm so sorry that I didn't realize before- I am homeless and I just don't know what to do. I have no one to help us, and I'm frozen and afraid. I love her more than life and I will do whatever it takes to help us. My daughter has been living with her big brother, but he says if she keeps her baby she's got to go. Personally , in my heart I think we should consider adoption.
UPDATE:
So my daughter had the baby last night, after a really intense 14 hr labor and plenty of tears from me.. it was the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life to watch my daughter struggle to give birth to this baby that I thought no one wanted.

377 | 15rxzuk_jwb45pb | null | jwb45pb | I live in Los Angeles about 30 miles from Disneyland. About two months ago, a friend announced she was going to take her 5 year old son to Disneyland as a birthday gift to him and invited about 10 of her and his friends/family. She said she would buy the tickets for those wanting to join her but asked that we send her the money so she can buy all the tickets at once. I have a season pass so this isn't an issue for me but two of our mutual friends don't have passes so they each paid her $190 each for their tickets.
My friends paid and everything seemed fine, however, yesterday, she sent a group text saying that the day at Disneyland had been cancelled due to her son being sick. The date is for this Saturday so obviously, everyone is asking when we DO plan on going then. Her vague response to this is "I will look at our schedules and announce a date in the future. For now, my focus is on my son." Understandably, my friends are asking if they can either use their tickets anyways for Saturday or even get their money back for now since she has given no hint as to when the new date is.
"To keep things simple, I will hold on to everyone's tickets and no refunds will be issued as we will be going at a later date." This has also upset a few people in the group as some had to ask for Saturday off in advance. Some are asking what's wrong with her son and is it that bad that he can't get well enough by Saturday. She refuses to go into detail about her son. Some of us respect her privacy but also feel she could be lying which has made some of us very upset.
Reasons are:
1. She hasn't sent photos of our actual tickets since she claims to have bought them.
2. She makes minimum wage but based off her social media, she spent the past weekend in a beachside resort partying and eating in fancy restaurants.
3. She refuses to give us a new date or proof she bought our tickets.
In conclusion, some think she is lying and stole our money, spent it on herself and is now using her son 'being sick" as a way to buy herself some time. How should we handle this situation?
Update 1 - so two friends confronted her this morning and she sent out another group text asking us to give her some space and time as she says her son has a fever and is throwing up and his health is her top priority. She apologizes for the change in plans and in delay in her responses but assured us that she indeed has our tickets and isn’t scamming us. Says her son wants to go to Disney with everyone that was invited and it would mean the world to him. Still after all this some of us still suspect she’s lying.
Final update: I am writing this 36 hours after I posted this originally. Two friends went to her house later that night to confront her. She kept saying she was gonna be home late but they insisted on staying there. Eventually she got home around 9 pm and she was with her son. She says she spent the day at the hospital with her son and he’s doing better now (evident by him walking around on his own). She also pulled out her phone and showed 7 digital tickets for Disneyland. She claims to have never lied about anything and transferred the tickets to our friends. However, this experience has left the “friend” annoyed and hurt and says she’s not sure if she wishes to have a Disneyland day with us anymore due to our harassment. The two friends left and reported this to us. Of the 7 that had one day tickets, 5 are going to go this Saturday regardless while two will wait for a future date, thought they are not sure if they will go with our original friend. Everyone else in the group has a annual pass so it’s not an issue. She also issued the 3 of us that paid her for a dinner reservation $70 so I got my money back. Everyone seems content but one friends points out that she could e easily bought these tickets the same day we started demanding that she provide proof and may have been stalling while she secured the funds. For now this issue is resolved but has left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. Thank you all. | Got invited then un-invited to birthday celebration, but no refund is given... | 15rxzuk | [

She also pulled out her phone and showed 7 digital tickets for Disneyland. She claims to have never lied about anything and transferred the tickets to our friends. However, this experience has left the “friend” annoyed and hurt and says she’s not sure if she wishes to have a Disneyland day with us anymore due to our harassment. The two friends left and reported this to us. Of the 7 that had one day tickets, 5 are going to go this Saturday regardless while two will wait for a future date, thought they are not sure if they will go with our original friend. Everyone else in the group has a annual pass so it’s not an issue. She also issued the 3 of us that paid her for a dinner reservation $70 so I got my money back. Everyone seems content but one friends points out that she could e easily bought these tickets the same day we started demanding that she provide proof and may have been stalling while she secured the funds. For now this issue is resolved but has left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. Thank you all."

He tells me I can’t control him anymore (I haven’t tried to). That I am abusive because I cry when he hurts my feelings, that I am manipulative and try to control him.
He says he doesn’t need to tell me where he is going anymore, he hasn’t worked in months, he isn’t paying his share of rent or bills and he won’t let me look at his phone anymore.

My (23F) dad is 59 years old. He’s always been a thin guy but over the years he’s put on some weight and looked very healthy. This past year he’s lost so much weight, he’s starting to look sick and it’s actually worrying my mom sister and I. The rest of our family will make comments about how much weight he’s lost. Thankfully he isn’t looking sick in the face, but his body is very frail, he’s bones stick out his chest, his arms almost look like you could snap them. I should mention I also never seen him eating anything, and he’s also very stubborn, we tell him to eat more and he thinks he doesn’t need to.
My dad has always been a constant worrier, he worries about everything and he complains a lot. He kinda just goes to work and comes home and he hangs out with his friends and cousins too but if he’s not with them it’s almost like he’s not doing anything to better himself. He doesn’t exercise, he doesn’t ride his bike, he doesn’t really even watch tv or movies. He sort of just sits in the basement shuffling through papers and ripping them up but he’s been doing that for years, when I say years I mean it. He’s been going through papers in the basement since I was about 6 years old and the papers are from like the 90s and early 2000’s and I’ve never seen any progress with anything in that. He says he always has to get stuff done and just never quite gets it done. He’s been remodeling out kitchen for the past 11 months, and while he’s made some progress we still have paint patches on the wall from months ago, he’s just a little bit of a wreck. This is making me so sad because my Nana (his mother) had dementia and that’s how she passed. And every time I look at my dad I see my nana, they look just alike they act alike and now he’s getting very frail like how she got and it’s making me so sad. Does anyone please have any advice on how I could encourage him to please get active, to please start eating food and to find something to do with his time other than worry and stress and be anxious.

But most of us have weaker immune systems, personaly i have colitis and went through cancer. I'm 66 and my body took a turn five years ago. This ageing is different for everybody, all depends on how heathly your blood cells are after fifty. Definately have your father do regular check ups with a Doctor to catch anything early. Good luck and remember this is natural evolution of life. Also a good idea to check out herbal foods, for example, lemon and ginger are good for the liver. A heathly liver can ward off many diseases. And herbal remedies are good for any age. Wheat and dairy are very bad for compromized bodies. Also what i learned from doctors is, their motto, you sick take pill. Without finding the root cause. After chemo, my first winter the common cold lasted four months, 3 different antibiotics, nothing worked. Laid up for the first two months and since the doctor could not help, investigated herbal alternatives, something i could control. I stumbled across Barbara O'neil and branched out from their to the herbal communites. Did my own research, didn't pay anybody and learned how the body can heal. With age the immune system weakens. Broke my arm ten years ago, normal healing time 6 wks, because of my age told that will 8 to 10 wks. Again have regular check ups, take control. I was stuck in my ways and didn't want to change, could be the same with your father, its normal. Hope i've helped, good luck down the road, feel free to reach out to me at any time.

I was right, he was on bumble.
I matched with him using my fake profile. He already “got” my phone number by saying he’s gonna delete the app soon, which I’m sure is more bullshit. I have a new question though it may not be needed. I just want to prepare. I’m thinking if he wants to be on the safe side he will start asking for photos or a video chat before hand. Any thoughts on ways I could either find good fake photos or skirt the issue entirely? I suppose I could call him out on a video chat but that doesn’t feel as satisfying.
And yes I know I shouldn’t do this, I should just leave, or call him out now, etc. I got plenty of that on the other post. You’re not going to change my mind. And ya’ll this is ULPT, if you’re not here for some petty, dirty shit then what are you here for?
Edit: Don’t even need the advice anymore, he’s already asked to meet. He’s such a fucking moron

5,219 | z8b2rr_iyaqg74 | null | iyaqg74 | My bio parents put me (15m) up for adoption when I was born so I was always in foster homes until I was twelve. I had a teacher Janice (33f) who was my home room teacher.
Janice found out about me being a foster kid and how I wished I had a family. Janice had also been a foster kid growing up and so long story short she then became my foster mom and adopted me.
Janice is the best mom I could have ever asked for. She has been so unbelievably kind and loving to me and I absolutely adore her. The problem is that I don’t call her mom, I just call her Janice. I want to start calling her mom but have no idea how to without making it awkward. Please help me internet strangers.
Update
So….. was not expecting this big of a response. Thank all of you for responding and some of the ideas made me really tear up. Anyways this morning I went to Janice and I said “good morning mom” she just looked at me and started crying then came over and hugged me and kissed my forehead. I hugged her back and she said I could call her whatever made me comfortable and that she loves me more than anything. I just replied with “I love you mom”.
So yeah hope this update makes someone’s day because it certainly made mine. Have a great day.

So this exploded and I got a ton of great advice. Thank you all! I followed the overwhelming consensus to talk to my wife. It was a hard conversation and she was pretty mad. But only for about an hour then she came around and realized her anger with me was just because she couldn’t direct it at her friend right then.
I am still in the dog house for not telling her the first time this happened. I can’t blame her. I should have come clean. That would have been the smarter thing to do, but my wife said she understood why I handled it that way. It wasn’t the best but not the worst. We will work through it and I’m confident that I haven’t completely lost all trust.
As for our so called friend, we don’t know what we are going to do. It will take some time for my wife to work out her feelings and how to handle the friendship. For now we are just going to keep our distance and not interact. It should be easy with the holidays and both families being pretty busy.
I want to thank everyone for the advice. I think I just needed to hear people say that telling my wife was the right thing to do and that we would be able to work through this.
I (35M) have been married for ten years. I am very happy with my wife. That sounds cliché, but it is absolutely true. We have neighbors that live five houses down the street from us who are our best friends. Our kids are best friends and they come and go in both houses like it is their own.
A year ago I lent the wife of our friends my GoPro for a trip to the Caribbean. This was a trip with her High School friends and she wanted to take it snorkeling. When she returned it a week later I found nsfw photos and videos saved on the memory card. I deleted them and decided not to tell anyone. Just assumed it was a mistake and it was none of my business. I didn’t tell anyone and that was a mistake.
Because, fast forward to this week, and she asked if she could borrow the GoPro again. I was not at home at the time, and she asked my wife. Had I been home, I would’ve come up with some excuse for why I needed it, but my wife had no context or reason to so she obviously lent it to her best friend. Yesterday our friend returned the camera. I was home with just the kids And my wife was running some errands, when she returned it. She said “thanks for letting me borrow this again. I got some great photos that I think you will like when you see them.” I had basically forgotten what happened a year ago and just assumed she was referring to social media. Today I turned on the camera to see if it was charged, and found more of the same type of photos.
There have been no other signs at least that I have picked up on that she is interested. And I have certainly not given any signs. We are friendly, but it’s definitely not flirtatious. What do I do? Could it be an honest mistake twice in a row? That seems unlikely. Our lives are intertwined so I can’t go no contact without red flags. Plus, our kids are best friend and they would never understand. Hell, I coach their daughter’s soccer team. Do I tell my wife? Or is that just going to make it worse?
I’m furious she put me in this situation, on purpose or not. It seems careless at best and malicious at worst. What do I do? | Married friend left explicit photos for me to find | 18cbi3d | [
