(This is a repost of 2021. Cause its an important post to me, and the previous was deleted a week ago. I tried to update the original one, but I can edit the original subject) My girlfriend has to take care of her 22-year-old autistic brother. What would you do in my place? Context: I'm 27 and she is 26, his father died of cancer, and her mother has heart problems. She talks about moving in together, getting married and making a life together but the idea terrifies me. I mean, the kid is great! But sometimes he screams and despairs over little things and I'm afraid that even if I can bear that for a year or two, I will not be able to bear it for a lifetime. The truth is that she is the love of my life, but this seems like a burden that I cannot bear. Edit (late 2021): Thanks for all your help. This was my first time on reddit and wow! All those points of view are awesome and very helpful. I will talk to her. I don't wanna break up cause I really love her and I want to find a resolution. But I need her to understand that this is not something very easy to handle for both of us... So, I will ask her to go to a psychologists, first in separate sessions, and then together. I cannot say that now everything it's going to workout perfect... But I will try. She's worthing enought to try as much as I can. (Obviously we will require a therapist) Thanks again for all your help Final Edit (2022): We're moving together! I'm so happy saying this!! His mother will take care from his brother and we will visit them frequently, I know that someday he will be part of our lives, but that will happen until his mother pass. (I'm ok with that) At the end only a good communication save our relationship. (I know this may be a death thread by now, but I wanted to say this) Edit 2025: We're engaged! Also, we found a house for sale very close (220mtrs) to his mother's house (so, it's another thing solved) Don't get me wrong, have an autistic person near by its extremely difficult sometimes. But my wife's AWESOME and is worth it!

My (25F) sister (29F) has always had poor taste in men. She seems to value wealth and clout over anything else and dates guys who are big assholes or have super toxic behavior. For 10+ years, I've seen the same pattern of her moving too fast, ignoring our family's concerns and then ending up heartbroken and calling me sobbing in the middle of the night. Now, she's started talking to a guy who is a semi-popular pro athlete. He had an entire public scandal about cheating on his ex-fiancee multiple times -- which he's admitted to -- and a quick Google will lead to a TON of accounts on Reddit of him being a serial cheater. She says she's going to marry this guy after meeting him once and when I told her I found this info online, she got incredibly angry and told me I'm annoying and judgmental. She's completely cut me off in the past over almost identical discussions. I can't sit back and pretend I support this relationship, but when I try to be real she just gets mad, it turns into a fight, and it's not helpful for anyone involved. I'm desperately seeking any advice about how I can better approach these conversations -- both to protect my sister from heartbreak and to protect myself from ending up on another 3am phone call resisting the urge to say "I told you so" -- please give me your thoughts? I'm kind of exhausted and just told her I'm not going to comment on her relationships anymore but I don't know what to say the next time she texts me saying she's going to marry a shitty guy after one date.

My girlfriend (30F) keeps giving me (38M) "boyfriend" tests. We've been together almost 4 months (not long I know). About a month ago my gf started doing boyfriend tests on me. It started with her telling me she wanted a weekend alone. So I gave her space, while making myself available if she wanted company. I failed that test because I didn't surprise visit her. We had a long talk together about the boyfriend tests. Primarily about how communicating directly what she wants and needs is the only way I'll understand what she wants and needs. And I told her I can't handle these boyfriend test type things she's doing. It feels unfair and I feel like I'm being punished for believing/trusting what she tells me. It's kind of hit a head this past weekend when she told me our birth control failed and she's pregnant, she kept the lie up for the day. I think I handled it well, I was calm, accepting, and communicative. We haven't talked yet about her latest boyfriend test. I'm not sure how to form my thoughts on the matter yet. I'm very upset. And her and I have talked about this a number of times now. I do like her a lot, we have similar goals, similar personalities or at least I thought we did til this all started. Has anyone else dealt with something similar and continued the relationship? Is my best option to just end the relationship before we're 4 years in instead of only four months? I'm kind of on the fence if I'm honest. Update: My health is ok, I just had a bad reaction to too much of a supplement. I'll be back to normal within a week most likely. I have broken off my relationship with her. I'm sure we will talk more over the next couple of days. The condensed version: I have said my piece to her and explained that it is too difficult for me to trust her now. I hope the best for her and hope she does well. Update two: I woke up to a small novel on my phone. Some of it sweet. Most of it blaming me for not wanting to resolve the issue we were having and move on. I'm not sure what else to say to her. I explained that we had already talked about pregnancy, tests, trust etc before she even pretended to be pregnant. The trust is gone. I don't think there is much else to say. Thankyou everyone for the words of support and for those that reached out. I was originally on the fence about breaking up. I think I was afraid of losing whatever it was I did have regardless of how unhealthy it was becoming. There are worst things that loneliness and heart break I suppose.

I have this friend of a friend who I met about half a year ago. I’ve been crushing on him for several months now, and I know he likes me back (he’s told me that he wants to date me). There are so many wonderful things about him: we share the same sense of humor— so much so that every time we’re together, we devolve into full-blown red-faced, stomach-clenching laughter. He’s kind, sweet, incredibly intelligent, charismatic, ambitious, and a natural leader. He’s one of my favorite people to spend time with. In so many ways, I just feel like we’re on the same page— like we “get” each other without trying. As cliche as it sounds, when he’s around, I feel like there’s color, and when he’s not, everything feels gray. The way I feel about him is definitely beyond what I feel for my platonic friends.   Here’s the problem: I’m not terribly attracted to him, at least physically. I hate to sound shallow, but I’ve dated people in the past who I wasn’t attracted to, and those relationships went down in flames. When I first met this person, I ruled him out as a potential partner, because he just wasn’t my type. Now that I’ve gotten to know him better, I definitely feel a bit more attraction (I’ve started to notice his pretty blue eyes and charming smile). But still, when I try to picture myself with him, I can’t help but be bothered by some of his physical attributes. To name one, I’m a big athlete and put a lot of time and effort into my fitness and nutrition. He does not, and is pretty out of shape.  Physical appearance is far from the only thing that matters to me in a relationship, but I don’t want to date him if it’s doomed from the start. Physical/sexual chemistry is important to me, and I’m worried that once the excitement and newness wears off, I’ll find myself physically dissatisfied. Having said that, I don’t want to lose the opportunity to date someone so wonderful in so many ways, just because of a “superficial” concern.  Has anyone been in a situation like this before? What'd you do/what happened?  Edit: Just wanna clarify that there is some attraction there-- it's not like I'm totally repulsed and have no interest in touching him. If that was the case, I think the answer would be obvious. I feel like there is growing attraction (I do find myself thinking about kissing him, and more). My fear is more that it might just be a product of the novelty and anticipation, and if we were to date, it would dissipate in a few months.

I’m a liberal guy, and I also assumed she was liberal when we started dating because anytime something got brought up she would just agree with my thoughts on it. We’ve been dating for four months and I assumed everything has been great, but last night we went out drinking and she started confessing to it all. It threw me for a full loop at first and I thought she was making a weird joke initially, but then it became clear that she was dead serious. She went through this long list of things she’d lied to me about (and that she felt guilty for hiding from me) like that she was really anti abortion, she was homophobic, she was very pro Trump, etc… Which is all a full 180 from how she’d been to me this whole time while dating. And she told me that she wanted to date me, but that she thought I wouldn’t date her if I knew she was really conservative (which, yes, I wouldn’t have because I think my beliefs aren’t so frivolous that I’d want to share a life with someone who I’m on completely different pages with) and so she just lied and kept lying the whole time. At the end of all this she told me that she actually started to question her own beliefs this whole time and that she found herself eventually agreeing with me on most things and that a lot of her former views were shaped by her family and not having exposure to other views. We’ve avoided addressing it today, and I really just don’t even know what to say to her at the moment. I’m angry that she was lying to me this whole time. I also sort of want to breakup. It’s good for her that she thinks I helped change her mind on stuff, but I feel betrayed. At the same time, I’m conflicted. I really did like the person I thought I was dating. And I guess in a sense, she has become that person now. But I don’t know if we can even resolve all that bullshit at the start. I’ve never dated anyone before, and I just have no concept of how anyone could resolve that or if they should. How far is too far in a relationship before it breaks? How do I know? ***edit: thanks for the overwhelming responses and advice. It took me a while to read through a lot of it (and I still haven’t responded to most of it, sorry!), but I appreciate the insight. I’m going to break up with her. She broke my trust and I don’t understand her reasoning or the dramatic 4 month change in views. I was a lot more confused earlier today about this, but a lot of the comments here really helped me put words to the feelings I had and my reservations, and I think it’s better for both of us. I don’t know what her deal is, and I think I can’t really trust what she says anymore right now. If she’s actually changed I’m happy for her, but I don’t know how to handle that and this situation going on. ***2nd edit: We talked last night and there was a lot she hadn’t told me Sunday night that gave more context for everything, but that’s her private information and it’s not my right to put any of that online. Some of it made me less upset while some of it just added on to what I’ve been feeling (and the lies that started our relationship), so we broke up. I think she needs to be single and i don’t think I would feel like I’m in a real relationship with all I know now. We’re going to try and maybe be friends because she wants to just redo getting to know each other. I think she’s thinks she’s being genuine, but also there’s a lot more going on with her than I thought and definitely more than you all could know from my original post. Not going to say anything else now because there’s not more to say and breaking up sucks. Thank you all again for the advice and the personal stories shared

My husband (42M) and I (42F) have been married for 15 years, and together for 20 years (as of this month). Tbh, we've both sucked at various points in our marriage. The first year was great. Years 2-6 were rough after we moved for my job and he became unemployed and had years of on-and-off work. He was lazy and entitled and I was mean and emotionally volatile. We fought a lot. We both handled it poorly in our early 20s. Things stabilized when he found a good job and matured a bit. Still, he's always been a bit entitled. Financially, I make more. I do 80% of the housework. (He does his laundry. I do mine, plus sheets, towels, anything joint. He thinks he takes out the trash because he takes out the kitchen garbage, and thinks I'm unreasonable for asking him to empty the bathroom because I'm the one "who uses that garbage can.") I spent years planning vacations, doing all of Christmas. (I'm a different religion. But i love our nieces and nephews and his parents.) It's really most of the work. He does mow the lawn and snowblow. I help shovel snow and that's it outside. I do maintain my own car. I believe he thinks his big contributions to our relationship are tracking and managing Netflix and other shows, driving, and being fun. I'm not kidding. Some of this happened because I was too particular and controlling, and I have a higher standard than he does, which sometimes is bad on me, sometimes bad on him. I'm controlling, he's incompetent. Bad combo. Probably around 2019, he started becoming rude to me. It started small but i addressed it regularly. The most annoying part was when he blamed me for everything. The tiny example is when he couldn't find the TV remote. "Where did you put the remote?" The rudeness increased after his best friend died by suicide. I gave a lot of leeway and stopped pushing back on his rudeness. I told him multiple times he needed to go to therapy. After a lot of excuses, he admitted he didn't want therapy because he didn't want to do the work. I stopped asking. In 2022, I got sick. I was scared it was cancer, but all the tests came back clean. The 9th doctor i tried helped me clean up my diet, get active, start meditation, and motivated change. I'm not cured or diagnosed, but I'm much better. But it's a daily practice to work on my health. I'm now training for a 5k, I've stopped watching TV, and i read. During that process, I moved into the guest bedroom to get better sleep. (He refused to treat his apnea and blamed me for not giving him a sleep clinic number.) I stopped hanging out with him because I wasn't watching TV anymore. He said no when I asked him to go for a walk. Always an excuse. I ended up creating a separate life in our home. Eventually, I think he realized it and finally stopped being rude, and stopped the blame. (He did blame be for the remote about 2 months after I stopped watching tv.) It's been "better" for about 6-9 months. But once it got better, I realized he only treated me with any respect once I forced him to, by removing myself from him. Now, I'm happiest when he's out of the house. I don't miss him if we're apart for a week. I am sometimes annoyed if he's in the house because he watches TV 100% of the time he's awake. I don't want to do our normal summer plans, which are fast approaching. So I think I need to tell him asap that i want a divorce. I'm thinking after an upcoming trip he has next week, so I don't ruin the trip. How do I start the conversation? How do I avoid getting sucked in a vortex of trying to justify, explain, convince him it's not worth saving? I don't want to work on the marriage. He's had four years to start therapy, alone or with me, so I'm not willing to accept that as an option. I don't hate him, but I don't really like him anymore. I'm done.

Flash talks with Trickster (Justice League Unlimited) - ironic that the first example is a Flash. Usually stopping talk doesn’t ends well but in this case Wally talks to the Trickster instead of fighting him which leads to the Trickster opening up about the Rogue’s plan. Emmett talks with Lord Business (Lego Movie) - even though Emmett did have to fight his way to Lord Business, the conflict was ultimately solved by talking him out of his plan. It doesn’t always work but sometimes stopping to talk can save the day… as long as you’re not CW’s Barry Allen

(I have more avatars than the ones shown in the picture-) That's it. Send me any information you have about your avatar, preferably their personality, and I'll try to find one of my original characters that would work well with them! Give me anything: lore, powers, fun facts, anything. But please, at least give me something! If not, well, I'll try to base it on appearance. I'll respond to your comments in a bit, since I'm not home right now. I'll get back to you in a few hours if I need to provide an avatar that I haven't screenshotted or finished yet.

How did it occur to Lochlan ( no matter how high he was) that it's a good idea to do his brother, or that it's a way to impress him or please him. Like, he was visibly disappointed when he saw Saxon wasn't hyped about it in the morning after. He even asked why he is mad at him !?!? 🤔 like. What? 18 isn't that young for him to not get it :( is he really that naive, I am 20 and it doesn't make sense. Since he put it that way, it doesn't even look like just the drugs made him do it, even under the influence he made a decision to do it thinking Saxon will be fine with it ?!?! "You were all about getting off/ I am a pleaser" sounds extremely absurd to me, it's common sense that no matter how toxic someone is about getting off ( yes, Saxon has issues I agree) they don't want their sibling to do it :(

I found pictures on my significant other's computer in which he had used undress AI filters to alter my female family member's pictures from dresses and/or workout clothes to nude. This includes my mother, my sister and my cousins. I am grossed out because he said it's not sexual but that he's experimenting with AI. However, if this was so innocent, I dont understand why was it being done in secret in the middle of the night. And why not use strangers photos or his own photos.

Found in 2019 in Hilton Head Island, SC. Apparently it was a ball that Wesley Bryan played in the Waste Management in 2018 and was discontinued. I like to believe I found a lost ball of his that he shanked in the woods and I stumbled upon it but could just be some random golfers ball at the time even thought it was very limited! lol

UPDATE: I truly didn’t expect so much support and kind words. I appreciate each one of you your words helped me do this. I did it. I got out safely. I silently packed (and cried) for 2 days and he didn’t even notice. I left for work as usual yesterday morning and around 3pm I texted him saying I was going to be home soon. I had planned for the boys to get there at 4:30 so I wanted a little time to warn him I had people coming to help me. Immediately he went on defense asking what’s wrong. I started by saying, “I’ve been thinking a lot about our argument from last week and I think you’re right we’re both different people from who we fell in love with and I made the decision to not come with you.” First thing he says “So you’re breaking up with me, Yes or No” and I nodded yes. He SCREAMED in my face “Well now you know I’m going to fucking k*ll myself right?!” I screamed stop and my best friend even yelled “you know that’s messed up because I had a boyfriend who did that when I left” (she legitimately did and it’s so triggering for her) and this MF yelled back “GOOD. You two can have something else to bond over”. He was just screaming calling us bitches, said “I hope you grind another alcoholic asshole that treats you like shit so you see how good you had it” (my ex was an abusive alcoholic) I truly didn’t think he would be so nasty but I was wrong. I proceeded to get my things and he came in the bedroom, locked me in with my friend on the outside with her screaming to let her in. I ran past him and unlocked the door but in that moment I was petrified. This man has multiple guns in this house. One in the room he locked me in. Once I unlocked the door he started yelling to gtfo, I’m not going fast enough and started throwing my things that were in the room at me. My friend has some of this part recorded. And she called her brother to come there now. Once he heard a male would be present he decided to lock himself in the bedroom and not come out. So by the time the men got there he was in his room and we were able to get everything into the hallway of the condo so I could leave the actual house. I moved into the new apartment, well working on it. Everyone in his family is reaching out because he won’t answer any messages or calls. and I’ve talked to his mom who is SUPER supportive and adores me. I told her everything, all of it. The ugly things he says, the screaming, the belittling, the disrespect and she was SHOCKED. I know she didn’t raise him like that but I told her he needs help. She agreed with everything I said and why I left the way I did. So that felt good. Anyway I am out safe. Sad, hurt, but safe. Thank you again for all y our support I read each message and it truly helped. ::::ORIGINAL POST:::: I(30F) have been feeling stuck in my relationship with my BF(40M) for quite some time. I feel like im writing this to convince myself that I’m not doing anything wrong. There’s so much behind it but I can not take the disrespect anymore. I’m a planner so I’ve been trying to make a plan to leave (I live in his house) for a month or so which hadn’t worked out until now. I was approved for an apartment with my friend but move in date is Thursday. We have been fighting nonstop and he’s said some hurtful things to the point I cant look past anymore. Every fight he gets meaner and meaner, wont let me speak, asks questions in circles so I get confused and when I answer her berates me about my answers and he will just look at me like im stupid. If I talk or post anything remotely political he calls me ignorant and DEMANDS that I back it up with articles from websites that “he approves” and even when I follow through with that it’s still taken as “an attack on him and his family”.. He’s screamed and sworn at me in front of my 6y/o niece multiple times. Consistently throws things ive told him in confidence in my face. He manipulates the conversation to make himself seem right everytime. We got into a big fight the other day and he’s said I’ve changed and I’m “not the person he fell in love with”. I know he’s saying this because I advocate for myself now and wont just take the rude comments. But in the fight he said “you have a decision to make if you’re coming with me to the new house or not” (hes buying a house). So I’m thinking on going on that and talking about it. Im in a panic. He’s not physically violent (he punched a door once but that’s all) but man his words cut deep and like I’ve said he uses the worst things ive been through against me. I’m really worried because he’s expressed that if I ever left he’d unalive himself. And I know people say that but it’s still triggering. Does anyone have any advice how I should do this? I just feel lost. EDIT: He works from home and never leaves the house so doing this while he’s at work unfortunately wouldn’t be possible for me.

Judy saving Fru Fru being getting crushed, and in return Fru Fru saves Judy and Nick from getting iced (Zootopia) Plenty of examples in Undertale, one of them being if you help monster kid from falling of the bridge, he’ll stand up for you against Undyne (Undertale) Cady being a better friend towards Gretchen and Karen (I.e, Being there for Gretch after she had Cracked, Though she was responsible for said cracking, and helping Karen find something she’s good at after Regina called her stupid) gave them the confidence to stand up against Regina and over throw her, making Cady the new queen bee.

1. Falin from Dungeon Meshi- Is revived utilizing a dragon’s flesh, which leads her to being controlled by the original dragon’s master and turned into a chimera. 2. The 10th Class from Emesis Blue- Due to defects in the respawn machine, The 10th Class came back with deformities in his body and severe psychological damage, which led to his suicide. 3. Hank J. Wimbleton from Madness Combat- In Madness Combat 6, Hank is killed by Tricky and almost immediately revived to keep fighting him, as opposed to being revived by Doc like he usually is. This leads to Tricky actually creating a copy of Hank and not actually reviving him, with the original Hank staying dead. 4. Le’Garde from Fear & Hunger- He is revived by D’Arce after being killed, possibly by Ragnvaldr. Presumably Le’Garde came back from the game’s version of Hell, which gave him severe mental scars and turning him into a borderline psychopath.

My guesses: -Parker Posey -Sam Rockwell -Carrie Coon And maybe Walton. I'd like to see Leslie nominated. Her condescending smile should earn her a nomination but I didn't think her charcter gave her a big range to showcase her talents.

So I had a Stealth 2 for about a year before it shattered (will post picture of it in the comments) and got it replaced under warranty straight from Taylormade. Since the stealth is no longer manufactured, they sent me a brand new Qi10 which came in yesterday. I took it to the range today to try it out and hit about 15 balls before this happened. Back to taylormade it goes! I was using my buddy’s Garmin approach G80 at the time and swing speed was around 115

I 32f am working on embracing the fact that my 32m husband is sick of me apparently. I won't bore with the details that you have probably read here a thousand times, but this is my first breakup, and we were married and together for 15 years. He says he just wants to send me back to my parents house for a 4 month break because he is fed up with me, and feels like I could make changes to earn him back if I do enough "actions". But he already set up a separate bank account and said some pretty hurtful things, so I'm taking this as a clear red flag that I have done enough and need to embrace letting go of him. But as previously mentioned, I am new to all this, and I have no break-up classics to rely on to get me through the crushing realization that I invested my whole life in someone who was willing to turn on me because "i only bring oranges when we wants an apple." Music, movies, podcasts, games, demonic incantations to cast my existence to another plane of being, open and happy for all suggestions!

I’ve been with my partner for about a year & a half and I wasn’t aware he felt so strongly about giving accounts until around 2 months ago, when he started pushing for me to give him access to my accounts/reading my messages etc. I feel like we’re incompatible in this way and I feel like he isn’t listening to my feelings and is only saying “what about me?” It feels like I’m talking to a brick wall by trying to communicate and get anywhere past the constant “I’m sorry”’s. The context is that I simply just don’t like the idea of anyone having control over my conversations or even being able to see them without my consent. He’s been aware of this since the beginning of over relationship and is aware that I believe in independence and that if you don’t trust your partner, then you should leave. I don’t know if I’m overreacting or if he’s toxic or something. I just feel bad because he seems so anxious and controlling about it.

#avengersassemble But seriously, I have finally put together my dream bag. This was 2 years in the making. December 2023 I started with my 3 iron, and slowly everything has been replaced/updated. Here is the equipment breakdown: Driver: Titleist GT3 10°, Graphite Design AD DI 6s, 45" and tipped 1", Titleist Sure-fit setting D1 3 Wood: Taylormade Qi35 16.5° (3HL), Graphite Design AD DI 7s, 43" and tipped .5" 3 Iron: Ping iCrossover, Graphite Design AD DI Hybrid 8s, 39", Ping Adapter set to 1.5° Flat Irons: Mizuno 241 4-PW, Project X Rifle 6.0 50° Wedge: Vokey SM10 50.08F, Project X Rifle 6.0, 1° Flat 54° Wedge: Vokey SM10 54.12D, Project X Rifle 6.0, 1° Flat 58° Wedge: Vokey SM10 58.08M, Project X Rifle 6.0, 1° Flat Putter: LAB DF3, 33" 68° Lie, Accra Shaft Ball: Titleist ProV1x #23 Extras: Bison Headcover (Go Bills!) & Alignment Stick cover (my club I belong to) It took me 2 years to get fit for everything and it was well worth the wait! I'll happily answer any questions you have! I love to talk equipment and it's always fun to see everyone's WITB posts, so I had to join in on the fun :)

I (29m) met this girl (21f) through an app. Talked for a couple weeks. Get on real well. Planned a night together. Talked about our do's and dont's. She talks about how she loves giving hickeys. It's like a thing for her. I told her not to give me any. That's a boundary I set. She acknowledged it. I live with my mom right now lol, and I have shit going on. Interview Tuesday, work through the week (I give eye exams, work with patients), dr appointment. Family stuff. I dont want hickeys. Sunday evening was our first time meeting. I picked her up, we went out, brought her over later. She kept pecking at my neck. I lightly told her to stop many times. I wasn't firm about it because I don't wanna be a dick. She's at my house for the night, I didn't want it to be awkward, and I didn't want to make her feel bad or uncomfortable. I know I should've been more serious about it when telling her to stop. I have trouble sleeping so I do some drugs before laying down. It knocks me out and keeps me asleep. We did that, fell asleep. Woke up later in the night and she's sucking on my neck like a fucking leech. I detatch her and tell her she can't be doing that. Plead with her please stop really don't be doing that okay. I go back to sleep. Wake up in the morning. See some hickeys on my body. Oh well, clothes cover them. Quickly get up, get her breakfast take her home. I come back to my house, getting ready for my day now, look in the mirror.. I am covered in dark purple hickeys. They're on my FACE, my neck, torso, arms, legs, fucking everywhere. I look like a fucking plague victim dude. She never said anything about them in the morning but she was snickering and wouldn't tell me why. I texted her about it when I saw them. That's what the screenshots are, some of what was said. She's real fun and sweet but I'm mad. I care A LOT about my appearance. I like to be viewed as professional and well kept, like a responsible guy. Now I'm covered in purple splotches all over my neck & face. I look like a junky now (I am kind of a junky, but I don't like people knowing that). We have a lot in common and she's really attractive, I'd like to stay friends, but I feel like I can't trust her. I told her this in a call and she freaked out. Says I'm "majorly overreacting". Said I'm being "super hurtful". She feels like I'm disgusted by her and that's why I dont like her "marks". She implied that I should've done more to stop her if it bugged me that bad. I agree. I should've been more serious about it. I've told her before I'm open to everything, not easily made uncomfortable. When planning this, I did once tell her that she could do anything she wanted, so that's my bad I guess. But I told her not to suck on my neck many times throughout the night. I was never blunt about it, but still I said not to do it. I guess she thought I was playing. She wants to hangout again and I do too but now I'm worried. I think about the kind of person that would totally disregard what I say, and stuff that could happen because of her in the future. I feel kind of manipulated and taken advantage of. It's degrading that's how it feels to me. It's disrespectful.

This happened while playing a round with some friends this past Saturday. My buddy is teeing off on a Par 5 and proceeds to top his drive and hit it maybe 5-10 yards into a bush to his right. I jokingly said “Fore” (not screamed/yelled it but said it just loud enough so our group could hear it). All 3 of them proceed to get on my case and say “Don’t do that” “That could get us kicked off the course” etc. all from what I thought was just a little light hearted joke/fun. I’m still relatively new to golf, but did I do something wrong here or go against proper “golf etiquette”? Or was this just an overreaction?

i (18f) broke up with my ex (19m) a few months ago. when we first met online, we connected almost instantly, had deep conversations, and became really close. when we met in person, it still felt good at first but i started having doubts i couldn’t explain. i was nervous a lot and felt unsure about attraction even though he was everything i thought i wanted. i thought maybe it was just the end of the honeymoon phase or my anxiety, but i got scared and worried that if i stayed, i would end up hurting him later by being unhappy. i broke up with him even though i still cared about him deeply. we haven’t talked much since. lately i’ve been missing him more and more and wondering if i let fear ruin something really good. i don’t know if it’s even fair to reach out now. has anyone been in a situation like this? is it possible to rebuild something after breaking it like that? how do you know when it’s right to reach out versus letting someone heal? **TLDR:** i broke up with someone i cared about because of doubts. now i miss him and wonder if it’s possible to rebuild what we had. looking for advice on how to tell if reaching out is the right thing.

my mom got gifted lily flowers on easter. she had put them on the table all decorated and nice looking. i had a feeling so i searched “are white and purple lily flowers toxic to cats”, it straight up told me they were, so i immediately told my mom, all she says is “well let’s hope they don’t go near them then”. now i was super pissed when she said that because she didn’t even care. well just about 3 days ago, my mom noticed bite marks on the leaves, but she never thought anything of it, she was more mad that the cats were biting her plant. my mom messaged me about an hour ago saying she has to bring my cat (tigress) to the vet because she has been VOMITING constantly for 2 days. i got so infuriated that i just started cussing at my mom over messages and i told my her straight up it was definitely because of the lily flowers, and that those bite marks on the leaves were tigress’ bite marks. i made it absolutely clear that she has got to tell the vet she brought lilies into our home and KNEW that they were toxic to cats but obviously didn’t care. i don’t even know what to do rn like im so mad she didn’t listen to me in the first place. my messages are not even sending to her anymore so im pretty sure she blocked me lol. and i just wanna know if my cat is gonna be alright :/

My boyfriend best friend who is a girl texted me saying they slept together at the beginning of our relationship. She is begging me to not tell my boyfriend because she doesn’t want her relationship to end with him and she said she wanted to let me know because I’m a nice girl and that I deserved better. She also said she was upset at him? I told her I have to tell him but she won’t stop crying and is begging me. She said if I want to break up with him I should make up a lie and not tell him about what she told me? What do you guys think? I have no clue what to do. EDIT: The title was meant to say “best girl friend” not “girlfriend” EDIT: Thanks everyone for the advice, I will be confronting him and letting him know what happened and I’ll see how he reacts.

We know they're some kind of Christian but considering Victoria's comment about Catholicism and deviant sex going hand in hand, I dont think they're catholic. Would that mean Presbyterian or Baptist? I'm not sure what's more common around the NC area. Does the show ever explicitly say what they are?

Obviously it's a hallmark of the show to have a murder mystery element that gets presented in the first episode and resolved in the last episode, and it keeps the viewer guessing as to which of these plotlines will ultimately lead to someone dying/getting murdered. But if Season 4 simply did away with having a murder mystery, all else being equal, do you think you would be ok with this? To me, Season 3 is the first time it started to feel a bit forced. Tim's whole plotline I think is a good example of introducing a high stakes situation without needing to rely on murder, and I wouldn't mind seeing a season that tried to do something similar as the main driving force of the plot. Of course his plotline still dips into murder territory anyways, but you know what I mean. It would be structurally a very different show, but why I come back to watching The White Lotus isn't about this murder mystery element.

I’m thinking about meeting a guy from Reddit, but I have a lot of anxiety around STDs and STIs. I know anyone can say they’re “clean,” but I worry about the things that condoms can’t fully protect you from — like herpes or HPV. Is there any real way to get proof or feel more secure about someone’s status before getting intimate? I feel like asking for recent test results would be a lot, but at the same time, my health matters. Does anyone else worry about this too? I am scaredddd. How do you go about it when meeting someone from reddit? I’d appreciate any tips or personal experiences. Update: Every city has a reddit for one night stands and fwb, I am kinda interested in that. Please respond in regard to this update.

Soooooo I (25f) was on vacation for a little over a week and I had asked my stepdad to go over to our house every other day to play frisbee/run my dog. My SO parents were going 2x daily as they live next door. I was checking the cameras on day 4 to see what time my stepdad came and I saw him digging in my laundry basket. Lo and behold he was stealing my DIRTY underwear from my clothes hamper. I immediately called my mom and said “*stepdad* stole my underwear from my hamper and I have it on video”. She immediately said she did not want to see it and went to confront him, to which he lied and she then asked to send the video footage. I did and all she could say was “he said he didn’t steal them but I don’t believe him and I’m disgusted”. She apologized and said she hoped in didn’t ruin my vacation and if we’re being real, the only time I didn’t think about it was when I was at least 2 vodka redbulls deep. She told me not to tell anyone but I had already showed my SO and he was obviously fucking disgusted. Now here’s the thing; we have not talked about it since and it’s eating me up. I obviously don’t want to cut ties with my mother because 1) I love her and she is my best friend and 2) it is not her fault that her husband is a pervert. He has been in my life since 2006, like living with me until I moved into my dad’s in 2016. We have always had a great relationship and this is hurting me mentally and physically. I literally have the nervous, agonizing shits all day all the time. If I stop showing up to family events that’s he’s at my family will be so fucking pissed and think I’m the worst but if I tell them, my mom will be absolutely heart broken. I cannot just seal this up and move on. I pretty much know I’m not overreacting in any scenario of this and honestly I just need advice and don’t know what other thread to post it on. I don’t want him to go to jail or any of that I just want to beat him up or pop his tires or idk something that would make him as upset as he’s made me. Fuck all of this.

Doesn’t matter that “grief is a unique experience” and they “sought comfort in each other,” or whatever weird justifications people give.. would you really want your bestfriend or sibling hooking up with your wife / husband after you’re gone? That means they were actually attracted to that person the entire time. Yes I get that you’re dead & wouldn’t have thoughts or feelings about it, but it’s still awful, gross and immoral. Edit: you all made some great points about how attraction isn’t so simple and can grow. I definitely oversimplified it and I know this isn’t a black and white situation. Still gross!!!!

So I have a bit of an exhibitionist streak and I have always had a fantasy about someone watching me have sex or masturbating. My phone has a collection of compromising pics/vid’s that I have taken but never shared. My question is do others get turned on by this as well and have you ever made that fantasy come true?

In Stars And Time: Ever wondered why the game’s in monochrome? It’s because an unknown amount of time ago, all color physically disappeared from this world, as in everybody can only see black and white because they’re the only colors left in existence Gravity Falls: The townsfolk of Gravity Falls are ridiculously ditzy and almost completely oblivious to the town’s weirdness despite living in quite possibly the most supernatural place in the world. This is because for the last 30 years or so, there’s a secret society working to forcefully kidnap and erase people’s memories of the paranormal as their way to “keep the people sane and happy”, with the unfortunate side effect of routinely inflicting brain damage on them as well JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (part 3 onwards): Despite Stands being a super rare ability in the setting, the main characters and villains somehow keep managing to encounter Stand users to fight/recruit. Apparently whatever power responsible for Stands also attract their users towards one another like some kind of gravitational pull. This also applies to those who can potentially unlock Stands later in life given the appropriate stimulus, like say an artifact that forcefully draws out your Stand whether you can survive it or not. This is how an entire town or an entire criminal organization can be crawling with Stand users

It's not actually that deep, when I say irritated, I mean like when you get a june bug stuck to your arm that won't come off. I haven't looked at any of the other threads on here because I've only seen the first episode, and I'm going into this totally blind. I got some coffee creamer based on this show, it was good, it was Thai Iced Coffee, so I decided to check out the show. I'm so irritated on behalf of that brown haired guy, I forgot his name, the one who got married. It's his honeymoon, for a lot of people, they see this as a once in a lifetime chance, he had everything envisioned, he was told he was getting that room, and then everyone gives him the run around and is flippant about it like he doesn't have a right to be upset? It's annoying that everyone is telling him it's not a big deal, like it's not his honeymoon, like his parents didn't pay for that and tell him that they got him that suite, he was expecting something, and he was screwed, and no one cares. I don't remember anything else that happened in the episode, should I continue the show or no?

In season two, Albie was taken advantage of by a sex-worker who plays him for cash, taking advantage of his vulnerabilities and the reaction seemed to have been one of support for Lucia, laughing at the naive rich American who deserved what he got from an empowered poorer person who was able to use sexuality to reach her ambitions. Laurie has the same experience in season three where a man has sex with her, attempts to extract money through pity, has a psychotic woman in the background, and people have been much more sympathetic to her plight, that Alexei is manipulative and dangerous. Do people see a difference in how things went for these two characters or should this part of their stories be seen as the same?

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR ALL THE ADVICE, SUPPORTIVE DMS AND FUNNY COMMENTS THAT WERE LEFT ON MY POST. I have a bitter sweet update. The sweet part is that I called my dentist and explained EVERYTHING to them, they told me not to worry and that they will replace all the aligners for FREE and that they will be ready for pick up next week. They sympathised with me and my situation, as well as acknowledged that I am a good patient and do not have any prior history of losing or damaging my aligners. Unfortunately it will add some time to my treatment but only an extra month or so which I am fine with. The bitter part. My mother and I confronted my father about this. We tried to be civil and just ask why he threw them out and if he knew how expensive they are. He completely dismissed us, for angry and walked away. We tried to reason with him but he just scoffed and said “I don’t need this drama right now” A few hours later my mother lectured him on how he keeps throwing our things away and that he has to put an end to this behaviour or she will start throwing his things out as well. I’m a bit surprised because I was terrified he would start yelling but nope, he was just watching TV and completely ignoring her while she was giving him an ear full. This morning he left the house before 6 because when my mother woke up he was already gone, and he hasn’t come home since or messaged us (it’s 4:20pm right now in AUS) He’s unemployed so I don’t know where the heck he’s gone, but I don’t really care🙏🏽. If anything ground breaking happens, I will let you guys know.

Never thought I would be in this situation. I met my wife in mid 2020 and we hit it off immediately, and even though I didn't say much, I assumed we were in a relationship. We talked every day for 5 years and met at least once a week. I never really asked her to be my gf but when she asked, I said we were dating and the intention is clear. This is important because the two points I got from her for what she did were I was not spending enough time with her doing what she likes (going to movies, overnight hotel trips, drinking, etc). So in late 2021, when we couldn't meet because of lockdown, she was on dating apps again and met this guy who paid her a lot of attention and, did the kind of thing I couldn't at the time. She said she never had any real intention with him because of many reasons. But the fact is they stayed in some sort of relationship from that point til mid 2024. Their rls was at the highest point til early 2023. Her dad passed away at the beginning of 2023, and I was there meeting her family, I was getting to know her family at that point so as a normal human being, I never thought this was not serious. Apparently, she only introduced me to the family. We began talking about the wedding in late 2023 and I was told they were still hanging out/talking til October/November 2024. In that whole time, me and the other guy never found out. Somehow she managed her time and communication so well that we couldn't find any dirt on her. Now we know she lied on many occasions to find time for both of us. I was busy saving my small company, and I have a bit of problems with sex so I can understand why she was frustrated. But I was trying my best, taking her out for food, ordering food to her house when she wasn't in the mood for cooking, taking part in her family events, etc. Yet she felt like it wasn't enough. She wanted someone to go for drinks, watch movies (I told her I don't enjoy going to the cinema, etc) so she was thinking for herself and she liked it and had fun. She told me because at the beginning we were not official so she felt like she could do what she wanted. I just confronted her yesterday and this is what I know so far without getting too much into details. She apologized and tried to answer my questions. I don't know how to feel about this. I was crying a bit last night thinking whatever I did was not enough, not for everyone even her. I thought it would feel a bit nicer if she ended it sooner. I don't even remember when was the last time I cried like that. Update 1: I am living in an Asian country where divorce will bring great shame not only to me but both families. We just got married for a month.

I 20 f have been seeing my boyfriend 20 m ( luke ) for just over six months. Around a month in I noticed a few hygiene issues that bothered me like his face being unwashed , clothes unwashed , lack of showering and even just simply self care things like his hair wouldn’t be brushed. It kinda threw me off because I’m the kind of person who consistently takes care of themselves , especially in a relationship - I’ll shower, do my makeup etc directly before seeing him to impress him, I wanna look nice for him because I was interested and now love him. However , three months in or so I ended things due to the issues and felt super guilty about ending things over something he could change , he’s such a nice guy. I got back with him and he had changed ! For a couple week. For a couple weeks he managed to shower before seeing me n wear clean clothes. I’m guessing it was just till he felt secure in the relationship again ? What brought all this back up , because I tried to ignore it , was him staying round my house for three days recently. My mum came in the living room we were in whilst visiting family and she told me to open a window. I knew the smell she wanted to air out was him and she admitted this to me later. I was so embarrassed. Furthermore , he sometimes brings his own toothpaste to mine as it’s one of those nice super whitening ones , when I ran out I checked his bag to see if he’d brought it. There wasn’t even a toothbrush in his bag. I check my bathroom. He hadn’t even brought a toothbrush. I’d noticed he had bad breath and I’d not seen him brush his teeth, but I didn’t ACTUALLY think he hadn’t even been brushing his teeth. This is really impacting my self esteem. I know it most likely isn’t about me , but before seeing him I shower , do my hair nice , full makeup n outfit - because I love him and wanna look nice for him. He doesn’t even feel the need to brush his teeth ? And it’s not like it’s cause we’re out of the “ wooing “ stage - this is basic level hygiene. I don’t wanna end things over the same reason again but it’s too much to bear. I find it kinda embarrassing to be seen in public with him which makes me feel so guilty. And even just him - I love him and wished he’d take care of himself but if he’s the kinda guy who won’t even give himself respect , how can I expect him to respect or appreciate me ? His mum is currently in hospital with a broken arm and I don’t wanna upset him by bringing this up during a time when he’s worried about his mum but I will eventually and idk whether this makes me a bad person. I wanna bring it up with him but I already have the first time I ended things. And I also don’t want to end the relationship over anything else , I’m concerned about him and don’t wanna make these issues worse but I also can’t continue this relationship whilst he’s like this. Edit: thanks everyone for ur insights - even the harsher ones that made me realise things I didn’t want too. I guess I just thought I was asking too much or being judgemental but now I’ve realised this genuinely is such a mundane issue - HIS issue that I shouldn’t be a part of. I’m going to call him later and explain this to him as kindly as possible. Especially since it’s harming my self esteem also.

Laurie was divorced, had an extremely demanding career, and a troubled daughter. She clearly needed to have some fun, and let loose - more than the other 2 who are comparatively happy with their lot in life. Jaclyn even recognizes this, which is what prompts her to set Laurie up with the Valentin. The fact that a handsome, young, exotic guy reciprocates interest clearly means a lot Laurie who, while beautiful, still feels self conscious about her looks compared to her friends. Just because Laurie doesn't sleep with him on the first night or have strong feelings for him does not mean he was "up for grabs". Perhaps she becomes overly fixated on it, but that's just because Jaclyn won't own up to it and apologize.

I'm mostly joking and saying this as a shit post, but I'm kinda genuinely curious what will happen if I block auto moderator lol Does it prevent it from removing my comments and stuff? Or does it just break and crash my reddit app or something? Or does literally nothing happen? either way I hope you're having a great day :D

Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre has been defeated in Carleton, ending his nearly two-decade tenure as a Member of Parliament in the Ottawa-area riding. As of 4:43 a.m., preliminary results showed Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy winning the riding with 50.6 per cent of the vote. Fanjoy received 42,374 votes, compared to 38,581 votes for Poilievre. The result is certain to ignite questions over Poilievre’s future as leader on a night that saw the Conservatives increase their seat count and vote share but finish second to the Liberal Party.

Last saturday I had probably the worst day of my life. Let's rewind about 4 weeks back to where all of this started. Me and my partner had a really good relationship going on. We've experienced a lot of life changing moments together, spent a lot of time together, went through small arguments and were generally really happy with eachother. We also moved in together just a few months ago and were able to take care of our very own home for the first time which worked surprisingly well (except for keeping things always 100% clean). One thing that I kept noticing over the past few months was that she started finding some new friends online which isn't really something to worry about especially since both me and her really love to play video games. But she started spending more and more time with the people she just met on there and wasn't really there for anyone else anymore. She had broken her foot because of a Laser Tag incident so she had to stay at home for quite a long while so that I wasn't able to take her out for some outdoor activity which we really enjoyed doing as well. All in all I just let her be alone from time to time because I didn't feel like bothering her too much since she was in quite some pain. She also had to go to regular checkups with her doctor which is basically what got this whole thing rolling. One day when she had to go, she told me that it wouldn't take too long (like less than an hour). I couldn't bring her or pick her up since I had to go to work that day but she was fine with taking the bus. Quite some time had passed and it was already almost 2 hours later but I didn't think of it too much yet. Sometimes the waiting time can be a real pain and it probably just took longer than expected. At around the 3 hour mark I did get pretty worried though at which point I decided to send her a message asking if everything is okay. She replied about 30 minutes later telling me that everything is fine and that she got picked up by her new online friends and were talking for a bit. Now I was at a point where I was a bit.. frustrated I guess? She'd usually tell me if something spontaneous was happening especially if it would take this long. But then a few more hours passed while I was just waiting for her to come back or for her to tell me when she'd be back. But nothing. Until she arrived back home at around 9-10pm. So she was gone for around 7 hours. She came into the living room where I was sitting and all she said was "Hi". Through my frustration and bold "Sup?" as my answer I let her know that I wasn't in the best mood. When she took off her jacket and dropped her bag, the first and only thing that night was to go to her room, get online and get back to her new friends. After a few minutes had passed I confronted her with my feelings. That I felt weirded out by the fact that she'd just join some people in a car that she only just met and that I felt sad that she wouldn't tell me about it. That if I wouldn't have asked her what's up that she might not have told me anything at all. I also made clear that I was 100% positive that she wasn't cheating on me because I didn't want her to feel like that's my point. She didn't really know what to answer the entire time. I was talking to my mom about this before I went to her and she tried to talk to her as well which I intervened though since I know that my mom wouldn't take this whole thing in a calm manner. After me trying to tell her that I was super worried, disappointed or rather frustrated that she wouldn't tell me that she'd be gone for so long and her not really being able to respond to me I left her alone for a while since that's the one thing she asked for. She also told me that she'd like to talk about this the day after and maybe even get her mom involved so she had some emotional stability. After sleeping rather nervously through the night I went to work as usual. She was still asleep when I woke up so I let her be. And when I came back, she and her mom were waiting for me in the living room. We talked about a lot of things. Good things, bad things. Her mom was suprised that we'd be having an argument about something this small and "stupid" but was actually agreeing with my point. The whole discussion really ended on a good note though and it felt like we managed to get a lot off of our chests. But then she decided that she wanted to go to her parents for a few days for a bit of distance. And I was totally fine with that. We told eachother "I love you" with a kiss and I let her go. 3 weeks had passed with barely any communication when suddenly she asked me if I was home on saturday. I told her that I was at work till 3pm. And when I came home I saw her together with her step brother and her mom waiting for me at my door. And it was at that moment where I already knew where this was going. She asked if we wanted to go inside and once inside all she said was: "I don't think I have to mention much. All I'm here for is to pick up my stuff and then we should part ways." And I was devastated. I didn't expect this at all. But I let them do their thing. I wanted to help them at first but then I started feeling this mental breakdown. And I started crying while I was trying to hide on my balcony. At some point they were looking for a backpack of hers and asked me if I knew where it was but we couldn't find it. (It turned out to be in one of the bigger bags they packed together while gathering all her stuff) That little search at least gave her and me the chance to talk one more time. She said that we'd be better of staying friends. That this might not be a farewell but a "See ya later". So we didn't end on bad blood. Now I'm just sitting here hoping that one day when I come back from work that she's gonna wait at my door, wanting to come back together. It's all a fresh wound, I know but I could just really use some advice on how to handle these feelings and emotions because I just can't sleep anymore. I can't focus on work and I can't look at any of my rooms the same anymore. I hope I worded everything right and didn't skip too many details. I'm just really tired and pretty much done at the moment. Edit: Thank you all for the kind words and advice but also for the critique. I'm taking a lot with me from this. I'll be taking my time to grieve about all of this and will reconsider my ways of handling things. Maybe even get some professional help involved. This was like my first big post on reddit and I just feel a bit overwhelmed with all the interactions and responses. But I read all of them and will try my best to be better in the future.

The trick is to aim right, pull it left, land on a 30 degree downslope with a massive kick to the right and severely upset the group in front of you.

If so, who did you change your opinion of and why? I’m about to start a rewatch of all 3 seasons and I think my opinions will change on many.

So it’s literally just the title. Me(22F) and her(30F) have been together for about a year. Our relationship is pretty good. There’s really only one problem I have. How rough she is in bed. Well it’s not the fact that she’s rough. She’s into some kinky stuff and so am I so it was amazing at first. it’s the fact that she’s not listening when I’m telling her that she’s been TOO rough. Over the last like 3 weeks she’s been taking things a bit too far. She keeps doing things we haven’t discussed(like slapping, stretching, spitting, etc.) I never mentioned being into these things before and she never mentioned wanting to try them. When I tell her that I didn’t like it or that she’s being too rough she tells me that she didn’t mean to and didn’t realize it hurt me or made me uncomfortable. But then she’ll do it again. I keep bringing it up and it’s always the same. “I’m sorry” “I won’t do it again” I didn’t realize” but she’s not changing. She keeps doing the things I’m telling her not to and it’s starting to hurt. I’m getting bruises from her pushing me against walls super roughly or rope burns from how tight she ties me up. I’m starting to not even want to have sex anymore if she keeps acting like this. She’s not telling me that she wants to be rougher or that she wants to do the things she’s doing. She just saying she doesn’t mean to do them. Like how do you not mean to slap me? Or what do you mean you just “accidentally” tried to put 4 fingers in me when I’m literally telling you that 3 hurts. Like what? I don’t know what to do anymore. And this point is thinking of breaking up. Would that be too far?

I never understood this during the show. They seemed to be committed to one another and in love but they didn’t display affection even when in private. I was also wondering why Victoria was always on pills or drunk.

My golf buddy and I went for a round yesterday. The foursome ahead of us was two guys about 40ish, one guy about 30ish and one who is….100 years old!! He teed from the forward tees and from what I observed kept it straight. More importantly, the guys with him were patient. He obviously didn’t move as fast. Golf is for everyone. With any luck I hope to be 100 years old playing 18 also.

I was reading responses to the post and went kind of radio silent as I did text my mom and this is how it went. I was gaslit and it just fucking sucked. Believe me I know what the right choice is. Bash him to the rest of the family and cut them off. I got engaged on the trip we went on and before we left my mom and I looked at a wedding venue and when I told her my fiance popped the question she put a non refundable $2000 deposit down on the wedding venue. So either she is just fucked on that or she still has my wedding which I can’t see her doing if I never talk to her again. I did tell my dad and he’s furious. He can’t do much as he’s almost 70 years old and has suffered several strokes over the last few years. I just told him not to tell anyone and I would decide if I wanted to go that route but he told me to go to therapy. He said if I did lash out and commit a crime (popping his tires) my mom and stepdad both wouldn’t go to the police as I have evidence of his crime as well but to try and stay away from that. My mom and stepdad got together while my parents were still married and my stepdad was dating my auntie at the time and her son popped his tires so that also wouldn’t be very original of me. I’m just venting about other traumas now. Read the texts!

I saw a similar picture to this one on facebook, that has just let my jaw drop, as it looks quite plausible in theory. Ever since I was a kid and learned to play golf it never occured to me once, that "Ball forward in stance" could mean that my stance would widen, the ball stayed put but shifted relative to my stance by moving me right foot. I was under the assumption it ment that my always similiarly wide stance would have the ball misalligned with the center to the left. Perhaps this is just a galaxy brain approach of some golf professors as most graphics and articles look like my "traditional" thoughts. But maybe someone here has experience with this. Here's an article to the link a grabbed the picture off.

Is it just me or it feels like if Saxon were ever to go honeymooning with his wife in the future, he will be a lot like Shane? Entitled, pompous, they both think they can do anything they want, they have rich and influential parents who think they are always right and enable them. I just feel they are showing similar people at different stages of their lives. Best of luck to Saxon's future wife, who will have one hell of in-law problems from Victoria to Lochlan.

When you ask people to think of the COVID origin, chances are that they think of the lab leak theory. The story that a lot of people have is that the lab leak theory was originally suppressed due to fear of racism. Then, the evidence for the lab leak started to pour in, and media figures were forced to admit that it was not as impossible as they had previously claimed. Government sources started reporting on cover ups and conspiracies from China that pointed to the lab, and new evidence of gain of function experiments showed how the lab could have done it. By now, [two thirds of the population in the US](https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/45389-americans-believe-covid-origin-lab) believe that the lab leak was either likely, or just straight up true. The media refers to the covid source as a debate and consistently states that it could go either way and there’s no consensus answer. So if you’d just read about this topic in the media, you would be surprised to read [the recent editorial from The Lancet Microbe](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(24)00206-4/fulltext), one of the most respected journals in the field of Virology: >***COVID-19 origins: plain speaking is overdue*** >*SARS-CoV-2 is a natural virus that found its way into humans through mundane contact with infected wildlife that went on to cause the most consequential pandemic for over a century. While it is scholarly to entertain alternative hypotheses, particularly when evidence is scarce, these alternative hypotheses have been implausible for a long time and have only become more-so with increasing scrutiny. Those who eagerly peddle suggestions of laboratory involvement have consistently failed to present credible arguments to support their positions.* >*… It is well within the bounds of probability that some people genuinely believe in an unnatural origin of SARS-CoV-2, but these people are simply wrong.* This is something I find very interesting about this topic. As the media and the general public moved more and more in favour of the lab leak, the scientific evidence for the wet market origin got stronger and stronger. It has now gotten so strong that the Lancet is willing to call the lab leak theory false without any caveats. So I’m going to go through some of the relevant evidence to show why they believe that, then go over some of the reasons why people believe in the lab leak (and why they shouldn’t). # The Beginning Let’s start with a comparison: [the SARS outbreak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARS). This was a coronavirus that spilled over from wildlife into humans in 2002 in the Guangdong district in China. The original cases were related to the animal industry, [almost 40% of early cases came from workers related to animal work](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3323155/). China initially tried to censor information about the spreading illness, but was forced to admit it when the disease started spreading outside of China. As it spread scientists began hunting for an origin. They found similar viruses in certain civets being raised on wildlife farms, as well as a few other animals such as racoon dogs. A few years later they were able to establish a link between the viruses found in these animals and the SARS virus found in humans. They were also able to establish that similar viruses were found in bats, leading to the theory that they had jumped from bats to these small mammals that were being farmed in China, and then from them to humans. The actual origin was not found until much later. 14 years after the outbreak, researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were able to find a bat cave in Yunnan, China containing a direct ancestor of the SARS virus. The cave was roughly 1000 miles away from the start of the outbreak, showing how far the virus had travelled through the animal market network. [Now let's look at COVID](https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abm4454). The earliest identified case of COVID was a seafood vendor at the Huanan Seafood Market, which sold small mammals like the ones that caused the SARS outbreak. Of the first 41 known cases, 66% of them had a direct link to the market. The other cases formed a tight circle around the market. The first hospitals to identify the disease quickly alerted that the market was the cause based on the number of market workers that were coming in. https://preview.redd.it/aboiu62k7sxe1.jpg?width=2501&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=914678905fcdfce90c3dda7206b42ed2353ffe7b The Chinese government tried to censor evidence of the outbreak until it was too obvious to ignore, but eventually they caved and allowed scientists to start investigating the outbreak. Unfortunately for them, the local government had already shut down the market and either killed the animals being sold there or allowed the wildlife sellers to flee. George Gao, the head of the Chinese CDC [commented](https://www.caixinglobal.com/2020-02-03/in-depth-how-wuhan-lost-the-fight-to-contain-the-coronavirus-101510749.html): “*The crime scene is gone. How can we solve the case with no evidence?”* But the scientists did what they could, and started swabbing the market to identify evidence. Here’s a heat map of what they found: https://preview.redd.it/g1ojjpvo7sxe1.jpg?width=3750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8ab436241e5ad3b8b4513aa7ec34031d7a984e1 The samples were concentrated on the west side of the market. The highest concentration of positive samples were found in and around a store that would later be identified as one that sold raccoon dogs and other wild mammals. They also tested the sewer drains, and found a high concentration of the virus in the drain downstream of this particular store. When mapping the workers at the market, they found the same thing: most of the workers who got sick were working on the west side. The Chinese researchers also released the genome of the virus. After US scientists analyzed the virus, they concluded that [it was not engineered](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9), since the virus was not similar to any known “viral backbone” that usually gets used as a starting point when building a virus, and the method that COVID used to infiltrate cells was completely novel and not something that a researcher would have realistically thought to do. They also discovered that many small mammals such as racoon dogs and pangolins were susceptible to COVID, increasing the suspicion that they had been the source of the pandemic just like SARS. Not all of this was known at the start of the pandemic, but a large portion of it was. And it shows why scientists at the time were so confident that the lab leak theory was false. The COVID pandemic started exactly like you would expect a wildlife pandemic to start. In fact, the early evidence for COVID seems far stronger than the early evidence for SARS was. And it was only going to get better. # The Worobey Files Michael Worobey was a scientist who was part of a group that published an open letter arguing for more research on the Covid origin and that the lab leak theory had been dismissed by the scientific community too quickly. In 2021-22, he and a group of virologists published a series of papers looking into various aspects of the Covid origin, from [early cases](https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abm4454) to [epidemiology](https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abp8715#sec-2) to [genetics](https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abp8337). And what they found convinced them that the market was the only possible source for the virus. Here are some of the things they looked at: The COVID virus has a very consistent doubling rate that we saw in every city it spread to. The spread from the market matched that doubling rate exactly. It is the exact trend we would expect to see if the virus started spreading from there. If there had been outbreaks elsewhere in the city before this, we would have seen thousands of cases which we simply didn’t see. The market was also not that popular. Looking at phone data it was not a highly visited site compared to others in the city, and looking at data outside of China showed that markets tended to not be good superspreaders compared to things like churches, clubs and cruise ships. This means that the chances of a non-market outbreak that was missed are extremely low. https://preview.redd.it/ogrsge0w7sxe1.png?width=3750&format=png&auto=webp&s=f0c4677b50dd99e5945208ac5cf1068cfbf7aa89 They also showed that there were two genetic lineages of COVID at the start of the pandemic. Lineage A, which is more closely related to bat viruses than Lineage B, started spreading after Lineage B. This convinced them that there had been two separate spillover events. Lineage B started spreading in humans, then Lineage A jumped to humans a week later. Both A and B had been circulating in the animal hosts, and one made the jump before the other. Crucially, both Lineage A and B were found at the market. If covid had been a lab leak, this would be very confusing. Two separate spillover events with similar but not equal viruses a week apart? There’s really no way to square that, which is why they concluded that it wasn’t possible. The scientists published their work with great fanfare, and have since spent the past three years angrily defending their work from the media and internet lab leak theorists who have accused them of being part of the cabal keeping the lab leak theory suppressed. Even Matt Yglesias got in on the action: https://preview.redd.it/rb7fbckz7sxe1.png?width=775&format=png&auto=webp&s=f061e97110e4f999776fd3201f621b25db264666 So was there any new evidence to discover after this? Why yes, there was! # The (actual) leak While all this was going on, the CCP had created their own theory on COVID. In their view, COVID came from the United States. It did not come from China at all. The Chinese CDC, which had originally been very open and helpful, quickly started parroting the party line and producing worthless papers that showed “evidence” of this supposed link to the US. One of these papers was published in 2022 by George Gao. However, a researcher called Florence Debarre saw that it [contained genetic data that was previously unknown to western researchers.](https://www.science.org/content/article/covid-19-origins-missing-sequences) The Chinese researchers tried to pull the genetic data from the web, but it was too late. And Debarre found that this data proved that civets, bamboo rats, and raccoon dogs had all been sold at the market (which China had denied ever since the pandemic started) and that samples from these animals had been found at the shop which was marked in blood-red on the swab data. If you ask the researchers responsible for these papers, there really is no doubt whatsoever that COVID emerged from the market. Every piece of evidence points to the market, and the more they dug the stronger the link got. So why do people think the lab is more likely? # The Three Sick Researchers The lab leak theory got mainstream acceptance in 2021 when [this article](https://www.wsj.com/articles/intelligence-on-sick-staff-at-wuhan-lab-fuels-debate-on-covid-19-origin-11621796228) was published in the Wall Street Journal. It claimed that an anonymous intelligence official had told them that three researchers at the WIV had gone to the hospital with respiratory issues in November 2019. This was a bombshell. Shortly after, media all over the world started reporting on it, pundits started apologizing for not taking the lab leak seriously, and lab leak promoters were given massive standing in the public media. The story led to a massive shift in the way the lab leak was seen, and turned it into a legitimate theory. It was also, as we will see, a lie. The second thing that convinced people was the fact that US agencies started saying it was true. Several agencies had released conclusions on the Covid origin. Most had said it was probably natural. Some, like the FBI, said it was most likely a lab leak. All had marked their conclusions as “low confidence” But when the Department of Energy concluded that it was probably a lab leak, people took that as a sign. After all, US departments have access to classified information! Since the people with the secret information believe it, they must have something! # They had nothing After the DoE conclusion, Congress passed a bill forcing the US intelligence community to release the information they had on the lab leak theory. [Here is that report](https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/Report-on-Potential-Links-Between-the-Wuhan-Institute-of-Virology-and-the-Origins-of-COVID-19-20230623.pdf). According to the report, the various agencies had all been given the same bundle of evidence, and asked to make a conclusion based on that evidence. Here’s a summary: * There is no evidence that the WIV had a virus that could have been a Covid progenitor. * There is no evidence of a specific research incident at the Lab that could have leaked such a virus. * There is no evidence of genetic engineering that could have resulted in a SARS-COV-2 - like virus * Several workers became sick with symptoms consistent with colds or allergies with accompanying symptoms typically not associated with COVID-19. * None of them were hospitalized for these symptoms. One may have been hospitalized for a non-respiratory condition. * All lab workers took blood tests after the pandemic started. The WIV states that they all tested negative * There is evidence that the WIV was lax on safety when handling coronaviruses. * There are internal reports criticizing the lab for these lax standards * The WIV was undergoing upgrades to their safety equipment in 2019, but this appears to have been a routine upgrade, and not a reaction to an emergency. * The WIV has conducted Coronavirus research for the PLA, to "enhance China’s knowledge of pathogens and early disease warning capabilities for defensive and biosecurity needs of the military." * There is no evidence of a Covid progenitor linked to that research. As you can see, it’s a very short report. It contains almost no evidence of anything. It also confirms that this was all the evidence the departments had. The “low confidence” assessments were based on guesses, not hard data. It also exposed that the “sick researchers” claim had been exaggerated to the moon. The actual intelligence agencies had found nothing out of the ordinary, just a few people with hayfever. So where did that come from? Who was the “anonymous source” that kicked this whole thing off? Internet sleuth Peter Miller, [who has done great work on this topic](https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/practically-a-book-review-rootclaim), identified the likely culprit. A Trump administration official named David Asher, who had made [similar claims in public multiple times](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9410163/US-State-Department-expert-David-Asher-says-lab-leak-logical-explanation-Covid-source.html). Nobody had really believed him, since he had changed his story multiple times, and it had been part of the “Kung Flu” bioweapon push that Trump made at the start of the pandemic. Everyone just dismissed it as propaganda. So he used an old trick, and said the same thing as an “anonymous official”. Now he wasn’t some Trump admin hack, he was a serious intelligence agent blowing the whistle! And the media fell for it hook, line and sinker. # The secret virus An important point about the WIV is how they operated. They spent most of their time collecting and studying viruses from the wild. These viruses were published in papers that they released regularly. They published [their last list in mid-2019](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9336461/), just a few months before the pandemic. Covid was not on this list, and neither was any virus that could have been used to create Covid. So if we are to believe that the WIV created this virus, they would have to have used a secret virus. A virus that they would have no reason to keep secret, since nobody knew that that kind of structure could lead to a pandemic. Either that, or all the work was done in the tiny window between that paper being published and the pandemic starting. Either one is extremely unlikely. # The lab leak theory today Those two were by far the most popular pieces of evidence for the lab leak. So without them, what do we have? [This article](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/06/03/opinion/covid-lab-leak.html) by Alina Chan is a good place to look. She is one of the most prominent lab leak promoters today, even writing a book on it along with Matt Ridley. She identifies several points, so I’ll go through a few: * The lab was close by, and the bats were far away. The bats that carry these viruses were 1000 miles from the city Yes, the lab being in the same city is a coincidence, but it’s not that much of a coincidence. It was also not that close. It was 20 km from the market, a 30 minute drive. And no cases were found near it. And as we saw with SARS, viruses can easily travel 1000 miles through the animal trade. * A grant was found called the DEFUSE grant. It proposed to conduct gain of function research on coronaviruses similar to COVID The DEFUSE grant was ultimately never funded, and there is zero evidence that any part of it was ever carried out. It also proposed that most of the actual work should be done in the US. She also goes through a lot of points that were addressed by the Worobey papers. However, one point she makes in the article convinced me that she is a bad faith actor: >*In the SARS and MERS epidemics, scientists were able to find key pieces of evidence that demonstrated a natural origin of the virus. They found infected animals, the earliest human cases were exposed to animals, there was antibody evidence in animal traders, ancestral variants were found in animals, and there was documented trade of host animals.* *For SARS-CoV-2, all of these pieces of evidence are missing.* This sounds pretty convincing! Why was all of this found for SARS but not COVID? Well, there is one very important piece of context that she never mentions. [After COVID, China burned the wildlife trade to the ground.](https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-a-death-sentence-for-chinas-live-animal-markets/a-56986431) Shortly after the pandemic, the CCP shut down all wildlife markets. Then, in February, they passed an emergency ban on all wildlife trade. A few months later that ban became permanent, and they started mass culling all farms in the country. By September, the entire industry, which had employed over a million people, was wiped out. Finding evidence of spread through the wildlife trade was completely impossible because the farms were gone and the animals were dead. And Alina Chan knows it. Frankly, I consider this a lie by omission and the fact that it got through the NYT’s editorial process shocks me. The thing you will not find in the article is any actual evidence pointing to the lab. A lot of conjecture and theories, but no solid proof at all. Most lab leak theories nowadays rely on trying to poke holes in the rock-solid market evidence, and this has become more and more difficult over time. When Peter Miller had [his debate](https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/practically-a-book-review-rootclaim) on the Covid origins, his opponent spent a lot of time arguing that a mahjong room in the wet market was a superspreader event and that’s why there’s so many cases found there. # Why does any of this matter? First, the question of how covid started is very important for how we should prevent future pandemics. Knowing how they start and spread gives us vital information on how we should prioritize our resources, and when we get them wrong we end up on wild goose chases. But I think it also matters for a different reason. The lab leak debacle had a serious impact on trust in science. After 2021, accusations started flying that scientists had been in on it all along. The GOP accused Fauci of creating the virus, and many commentators and pundits argued that the virologists had dismissed the theory because they were either part of the conspiracy, or complicit. Scientists [were dragged in front of congress](https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Testimony-of-Dr.-Kristian-Andersen.pdf) and had their names disgraced for the crime of saying the lab leak was highly unlikely. I think part of the reason the papers after 2022 had so little impact on public discourse is that by that point, many people in the media had concluded that virologists were discredited, so anything they said could be safely ignored. This has worsened over time, and the Trump admin is now using this as an excuse to dismantle scientific institutions. The lab leak is a conspiracy theory, and it’s a conspiracy theory that is causing serious and lasting damage.

I'm not talking about real estate investors and landlords here. It's not unpopular to hate on them, as anyone can attest who knows the catch-22 of 'I'm renting because I can't afford a down payment because I'm renting.' I'm talking about actual homeowners who see their *primary home* as an investment. Sure, it does act like an investment with capital appreciation, but I don't think it ought to. Here's the thing: housing works as an investment only if the capital growth outpaces inflation (which, yes, it often does). However, housing values outpacing inflation, and especially outpacing real wage growth, implies to me that housing is on a trend of becoming less affordable over time. Given enough time, that means that fewer people can afford it, leading eventually to a pseudo 'landed aristocracy' where one class owns the land and the rest rent from them. And we've seen now how existing homeowners are loathe to allow things that would reduce the value of their 'investment', such as building new homes. Demand and scarcity mean more value. I wouldn't care about this, except, you know, *people need a place to live*. No one lives in my stock portfolio. Don't treat your home as a magic source of generational wealth. To be fair, I'm not an insider in the real estate industry, so I do welcome feedback. If you have numbers showing me how a primary home can function as an investment while still staying affordable over the long haul, please do share. I'm open minded and will change my opinion given good reason. EDIT: Thank you all for the feedback! Many of you have brought up some good points for me to consider. I'm a numbers guy, so does anyone have some numbers and formulas for me to go over? Appreciated!

My parter of 12 years (married 7), since the beginning of February has been talking to another guy. This timing is perfectly aligned with what I would consider an even bigger change in our relationship. That change being her feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, lost/stuck and like something is missing. To the point where she’s told me she doesn’t know what’s going to happen or what the change she needs looks like. We have two beautiful children, 4 year old daughter and 2 year old son . And we feel the kids have really taken a toll on us recently. She says she feels that she just needs to focus on her self. And up until just recently I have been very supportive of that. But the extra weight that comes with that for me has started to make me feel some resentment due to her just doing her own thing while I step up more with raising the kids while being left here wondering what’s going to happen as I feel like I’m being strung along. Now backtrack to the beginning of February when she started talking to him. They’ve always been friends on social media, and one day he sends her a response to one of her stories. This is where the conversations started. All of a sudden I noticed her behaviors shifted. She started working up stairs, she was constantly on her phone, etc. Then one day at her brothers birthday party, her brother noticed the odd behavior of her being stuck on her phone and felt uncomfortable with what he said he saw on her phone. This was a breaking point for me and I finally asked details about their relationship. She admitted to it being very flirty, that she dumped our relationship status to him (ie trauma dumped), was sending selfies back and forth, and that it was an escape for her. I asked to see the messages but couldn’t see them because they vanished on IG. She defended her self by saying she never sent any bad photos. I then lost it when I found out he’d message her in the morning saying ‘good morning, sweet girl’ along with calling her cute in other messages. He also went on a vacation and she said she wishes she could have gone with him. It caused big problems between her and I and her and her family, particularly her mom. Her mom was shocked and felt very disappointed in her. When I told her I wanted to see the messages, she told me she deleted them because I wasn’t in a stable state for me to see them. She then stopped talking to him after telling him it’s effecting our marriage. A week later and they are talking again, even after we had multiple conversations about how it all made me feel uncomfortable. Like she just couldn’t stay away, which in turn continued to bother me. She’s now switched to Snapchat because that’s primarily what he uses. Prior to this she had claimed to not like Snapchat and didn’t understand why I use it. Another thing that’s bothered me. She claims that this time they aren’t talking about sensitive things that made me uncomfortable the first time, and that she just likes talking to him because they click and have something that her and I don’t. Multiple times she has asked him to grab food at night before or after her gym session. One night he finally agreed and they went and got tacos together. I brushed it off because I was trying to support her journey to finding herself, and getting new friends. She’s now asked him multiple times to hangout because she needs friends and a life out of being a mom and wife. Yet she leaves all her friends of years and years and people who have reached out to her to help her on read. I am now posting this because I’ve discovered another thing that bothers me. I’ve found that it’s not uncommon for her to stay up anywhere from 12:30 to 2:00 AM talking to him, even on work nights. I don’t know how many times I’ve told her it makes me uncomfortable especially an after how things went down when they first started talking. Yet she just claims that she needs it and that it makes her “feel gross” that she has to choose. This is something that she would never ever allow me to do, and I never have. And she openly admits that. Which makes me feel like this is a one way street and that I just have to be accepting of that. And that doesn’t feel fair to me.

Sussie (The Amazing World of Gumball) - "You see life's not about the destination and it's about the journey, and making friends along the way. The search for meaning is the very thing that gives our life meaning and so really the only true meaning of life is finding your own way to enjoy it." Michael J. Caboose (Red Vs Blue)- “BUT, sometimes... you will lose a friend. Sometimes... even your best friend. Maybe you grow apart, maybe you get into a fight, maybe they are destroyed in an electromagnetic pulse. These things happen. It's just a sad, saaad, saaaaaad, sad, saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad, saaad, sad, sad part of life. But you know... I think the very best thing about friends... well the thing most people forget about anyways... is that no matter how many friends you do lose... You can always make more. And... that's pretty neat.” Stampy (Stamylonghead) - “Hit the Target may have taken the things we’ve built, but he can’t take the memories we’ve made. In a way we’ve both grown up together in this place and we’ve both changed in that time…so from the bottom of my heart I want to say, thank you for watching and I’ll see you later, byyyyyyeeeee!” Whiff (Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go\[Yes the 2d one\]) - "Sometimes the toughest thing to see, Is your own ability for bravery. It doesn't come from out of the blue. It comes from deep inside of you. Take a closer look!"

First of all, thank you to EVERYONE who gave me (F24) advice and told me he (M25)was probably into me. When he first texted me, I honestly thought it was platonic (some of you did too) and I kept thinking I was imagining it. But your encouragement gave me the confidence to trust my gut, and it turns out you were right! Yesterday I was so excited and hyped up thank you! After texting , he called me and we ended up talking for a couple of 2 hours lol. I’m still smiling. He told me he’s always been attracted to me but never thought I’d ever see him more than a friend so he never thought of the possibility of “us”, and there wasn’t a chance to explore it since we were never single at the same time to which I agreed. I told him I do like him, and I’d really like to explore what more could look like between us. He said he wants the same. He even admitted that when I told him about my date on Friday, he felt this weird feeling in his chest and didn’t know what it was at first until he realised he was jealous!! 😭♥️So he tried to subtly throw light bait my way and hopefully I’d take it lol. He also mentioned he was scared to be to forward and ruin our friendship if I didn’t feel the same and I told him “me too”. Lol So yeah we’re dating now!! but we’re taking things slow even though we already know each other so well. I cancelled with the other guy and explained that I have feelings for someone else. He was a bit gutted but appreciated the honesty, and we wished each other well. So thank you again to everyone who hyped me up and gave me the little nudge I needed. I don’t think I would’ve gone for it otherwise. You were right and I’m so so so glad I listened and went for it♥️♥️♥️

I think it's safe to say that I'm not the only one who thinks so and some other people have made the exact same post about this statement. To me, it's just pointless to try and replicate what the movies had already accomplished in Live-action. So in my opinion, the next best thing is to turn the entire book series into an Animated Series. And I'm talking about classic 2D Animation! I'd even love it if the show was in the same animation style as the Netflix series, *Hilda*. What do you all think?

1. The Presidents Key (Gravity Falls) The 8.5th president Quentin Trembley gives Dipper a key that can open any lock in The United States… it’s never used after this episode. 2. Time Reapers (Doctor Who) In the Doctor Who episode “Father’s Day”, these creatures are introduced that will appear when a time paradox happens. They then search for (and destroy) the offending element. They never come back after this episode… in the show at least.

This is a serious topic since Saxon's plans were pretty misogynistic and dangerous. He said let the girls get messed up and they stay sober,do anything with them. Sounds like SA ( does he acknowledge the implication or just blowing steam?) When it came down to actually doing things, he however took the drugs and said I usually don't do drugs etc. When it actually came down to following through, it's Lochlan who kissed him on date, twice and then we know he did more ( not getting into the implications right now) Basically everything he says is all hot air. It didn't look like he is used to crazy parties or that he picks a lot of girls like he claims. Then, the hypersexual behavior with his siblings, because he can get away with it at home. What is he hiding behind these shallow talks? Why is he trying to have this obnoxious persona as a mask? The only person he ends up impressing is the little brother ( again, setting the implications aside Lochy does look up to him). Basically he is more bark than bite

Throwaway account made for this post. I have had my cats for 4 years, and one of them (we'll call him Glen, age 8) was the only living thing I had to lean on when I moved across the country a few years ago. I then got a 2nd cat a couple months after that move so Glen could have company (we'll call cat #2 Gary, age 6). Shortly thereafter, my now-fiance entered my life and we have lived together most of the time we've known each other. My fiance has had cat allergies all of her life, but it was never so severe that the discussion of rehoming the cats had ever come up, even early on. I certainly wasn't going to suggest it, and she never asked me to consider it because she knew how important the cats were to me. Flash forward to today and her allergies have only gotten worse (dozens of tissues around the house, itchy nose and eyes with frequency, sometimes bad skin flareups that make sleep unbearable, asthmatic symptoms that are worse than they used to be). We've tried **everything**. LiveClear cat food, LiveClear shampoo, Allegra, air purifier, cleaning couch covers, sweeping/mopping regularly, Pacagen spray, no cats in the bedroom, immunotherapy. None of it has worked enough to significantly reduce my fiance's allergies, which I know hurts her too because of how she has grown to love the cats over the past 3 years. We tiptoed around the rehoming conversation until it very recently came to the forefront, creating a lot of hurt emotions on both sides. I am about to move cross-country again in the next few months for a PhD program in a state I've never lived in, but my fiance will not be moving until about 6 months after that. This means that I will be in this transition period alone for awhile. I wanted to see if moving to a new environment with Gary and Glen would help (i.e., new climate, re-try LiveClear before moving), but my fiance is done trying (which I can understand when this has been a nearly 3 year process of trying things out). This is likely the hardest thing I will have to do in the past 10 years, and right as I am transitioning into a very mentally and time-demanding part of my life for the next 5-6 years. That was part of my motivation to bring Glen and Gary with me. To see if this last ditch effort worked, to have them while I'm alone in a new city, and to potentially rehome them close-by so I could visit. But I realized that if we end up having to rehome them in this new city, then they'll have to go through the stress of moving AND rehoming within a relatively short period of time. And that seems unnecessary when we have a friend who has offered to take them in the city we live now. So rehoming them now makes the most sense for almost everyone involved, even if it means I may never get to pet them and hold them again. I am not asking for other cat allergen solutions. I'm also not asking if I should choose my cats or my future wife. I will probably ignore comments that are say something to the effect of "time to rehome the fiance". What I am asking for is advice on how to process this without harboring resentment. I've come to accept that choosing to keep the cats will inevitably create more tension over time as my fiance continues to have allergic reactions that remind her of the feeling that her health came second. I love my two boys very very much, but I don't want them to live in an environment where they can rarely be on the couch with us, and where one half of the household feels regularly uncomfortable just by their existence. But as I transition into this new chapter of my life that will be rife with its own difficulties, I don't want one of those difficulties to be this unaddressed resentment toward somebody that I love with my whole heart, and who tried very hard to make living with the cats work. I don't want to constantly wonder "what if we tried xyz", or get upset if allergy flareups continue to happen even with the cats gone. I want to make this difficult decision, process it as best as I can before I move, and move on in a way that allows my future marriage to grow from this. Thanks.

did anyone else find the scene between tim and piper on the boat in season 3 episode 4 extremely uncomfortable? especially with the already weird stuff that family has going on.. they CLEARLY lack of boundaries.. even with the mom asking for "tickles" at dinner and that seemingly being a reoccurring thing in their relationship. or am i just thinking thru a freud lens and have an unhealthy relationships with my parents? 😃

Genuinely no idea how this back9 happened. Back nine was insane. I’ll loose sleep over the not-finished hole on 14 though… approach plugged in bunker lip. Did not get it out on the first try, then topped the second try straight OB.

Hi guys, I really need some advice here because my whole reality has been denied. My wife told me she was receiving financial support from her rich parents. This is how she was able to afford rent, buy food, clothes and not work etc. Her whole lifestyle is expensive, she spends money like no tomorrow. Recently we moved into a flat together and due to her being unemployed, she had to pay 6 months up front (around £11k). She’s from Morocco and I’ve never met her parents. I became suspicious so I asked to see proof that her Dad sends her money. The reason I had my doubts is because when we first started dating (around 4 months in), I found out she was working as a sex worker. She never told me herself, I went snooping through her phone and found out. I never confronted her about this. Anyway, I told myself she was only doing it out of financial desperation. This was when she told me her parents stopped sending her money and she was behind on rent. A year later and we move into this flat together. When I asked for proof, she sent me a screenshot of a transfer from what looked like her Dad’s name. A couple months later and she gets locked out of her phone. She asked me to log into her online banking from my phone. That’s when I saw the real transaction, and realised the photo she sent me was fake and edited. The money had actually been sent from herself. So for whatever reason, she didn’t want me to see that. When I called her out on this, she completely denied that it was fake. She also refused to show me proof that her Dad sends her money. She deflected the focus on the fact I went through her transactions. When I said I just want peace of mind, her reaction was “I don’t care, think what you want to think”. What shall I do? What would you guys do if you were in my shoes? We just got married and her spouse visa had finally been granted. Everything was going so well. Now it feels like my whole reality has been crushed and it was all an illusion.

Personally, I’d lean in real close and say, “I folded the fitted sheet perfectly… first try.

Yesterday my bf (27m) and I (28f) were having some deep conversations about other topics, unrelated to marriage. We were talking out some relationship issues, and once things felt settled with the topic at hand, we talked about our views on having a family in the future (we check in every 6mo-1year or so) and we confirmed we are both on the same page about the conditions, expectations, timeline, all the same as the last time we spoke about it. Basically we both agree that is a decision to make in 5+ years and there are a lot of things outside of our control that influence what that decision will be. I then asked, do you think we’ll get married. The last time we talked about this topic(a bit over a year ago), it ended on the note of “if we are still together, then that means we are still considering the other for marriage.” The overall impression was that we both agreed marriage was an inevitable outcome of a strong healthy relationship. I really only asked because I thought we would still be on the same page as before, and it felt like an appropriate time to check in/ get that reassurance. He is now saying he doesn’t “see the point” of getting married. We talked in circles around it, and ultimately it seems like this feeling comes from mostly seeing a plethora of poor marriages in his life / in the media, not explicitly something to do with our relationship, or so it seems. He also says that his family has asked if he’s going to propose soon, and he asks “for what” and the only response they’ve given is “well if you buy property together” and he shuts it down with the fact that neither of us do own property right now and won’t for the foreseeable future so “what’s the point?” He says. I kind of crashed out at the new info. First, I’m ridiculously embarrassed at the impression that gives to his family that he’s told the he doesn’t “see the point” of marrying me. And I’m also really hurt because I’ve always been super up front about the fact that I do want to have a marriage, and that an opposition to marriage would be a clear deal breaker for me. For me there’s the shallow reasons to get married: I would rather be single than be someone’s “girlfriend” for decades (embarrassing). I think it’s the ultimate symbol of commitment and I’ve always wanted find someone who wants that with me. But then there’s also the very practical reasons for me, especially when it comes to a worst case scenario of needing familial rights in a medical situation. He readily agreed to try couples counseling but I really can’t decide if I think it will be useful. He was very upset at the idea of us splitting up, but do I want to be with someone who doesn’t “see the point” of marrying me? Am I devaluing myself? And then on another hand, is this idea I have in my head of marriage more important than this person that I love and this healthy relationship I’m thriving in? I’m worried that I’ll regret any decision I make right now, whether that be spending more effort on it or walking away. Anyway, I’m here to see if anyone has been in a similar position with your SO, how did you two handled it, and what in hindsight would you have done differently? TLDR: my (28f) boyfriend (27m) is saying he “doesn’t see the point of marriage”

Whenever im chatting with a guy online, they start complimenting my looks, even though they have no idea what I look like. Do they just imagine that I look like their ideal girl in my head? This always confuses me cause I imagine nothing in my head when talking to someone online, unless of course I know what they look like
