What if it was a super huge and expensive dog that also had multiple expensive chronic health issues and was poorly trained and becoming more prone to violent outbursts as it got older?

It'd be me or the fuckin' dog. She'd choose the dog obviously, because she would have shown the poor animal mercy long ago if she weren't being all crazy about her meat property.

It would be a Catch 22, though. Giving up the dog for me would be a terrible choice because I'm a retarded manchild, but keeping the dog would be a terrible choice that would drive away the last vestiges of human contact the woman would likely ever have, which is why she's making a decision between the dog and me in the first place.

IDK man. This scenario seems pretty specific and contrived. Like, how do you even get the point of ultimatum if the person you are seeing has such a lovely animal?

It looks like he sent it in a message, but I have no idea what his point would be.


Some content: I met my partner when she started working at the same brewery that I do. She was persuaded to do so by a few people who already worked here, one of them being another bartender. He met her while they were taking a math class together and kept texting her after that ended.

The following semester she was on campus for a class one day and he texted her warning her that it would probably start storming soon. He kept offering to give her a ride home, stressing how small a deal it was for him to do so, and when she politely declined he still left the offer on the table. When she got out of class there was a heavy downpour and she took him up on the offer. He was apparently pleasant during the ride, but after that he would mention how he came to her rescue every single time he texted her or spoke to her. She came to find out he was bragging about it to mutual friends and probably strangers. When she confronted him about it he apologized profusely and opened up about how lonely he was.

She felt bad and went to lunch with him a couple of times in a casual friendly way. He interpreted it as them dating and told everyone he knew. She found out again and had to confront him again, but kept her distance from him after that. He still texted her constantly but she would only respond occasionally.

We met a few weeks after that. In the beginning she had an irregular schedule, so I used to go to the bar around opening every day and ask one of the bartenders if she was working that day or not. I noticed that he would avoid me when the bar staff got used to my routine. It took a month for her to get more shifts, one of which was Wednesdays with this guy. One afternoon they were opening the bar together and she mentioned me (not in a lovey-dovey way but just happened to mention my name). He asked her if they could talk and then told her that he's been having a very hard time dealing with our relationship. He said their "history" made it difficult and asked her if she could not talk about me at all for a while. She was nice enough to agree, and when she told me I did my best to avoid the subject with him as well. He got over it after a few months.


Not an awful "nice guy", but a nice guy nonetheless.

I went to an event hosted by a female person I know recently and I didn't really feel like going so I told her I didn't know why I even bothered coming cause it wasn't like we were going to gently caress ever on account of her douchebag boyfriend and she said she very much intended to sleep with me on one occasion when she invited me to her place but I decided at the time to bring my girlfriend along so nothing happened. I had no idea. That was my personal recent story, I am a nice man.

ISILDUR's ERR

The Saurus posted:

A loose female acquaintance of mine sends a slave messenger at 1:00am today and asks me if I could chisel something on a Tabulae for her and bring it over in the afternoon. "Hey yeah sure sure, whatever you need I'll help you, I'm all yours," I tell her. She sends me this diptych and lo and behold I can't chisel it. It's written in Greek with circles and curves and I only have a straight chisel so I begin panicking, trying to find a greek slave or a way to chisel the letters. Scouring the vicus yields no results and I do my usual pacing in my Insula.


I finally come up with an idea and I tell the girl, if I can proceed with it. The plan was I would carry my stone tabulae about 2 miles to her house, chisel out the needed letters, maybe talk to her a bit while I was there. I was hoping for at least a hug out of this ordeal.


By the time I get there, I'm wet all over from sweating in the malarial swamp and carrying a heavy motherfucking stone tabulae. The first thing I see upon entering her room (my first time in a girl's bedroom) is a mamillare on her bed.

this post made me laugh, reflect on how the author of the original story is dead, and then type this post

The "dump me or dump the dog" guy texted a screen cap of the news story about the husband who was being divorced for being too nice as a passive aggressive way of telling the woman he was giving his childish ultimatum to that she was making a poor decision, just like the woman in the article.

E: it's also a great self own because he posted an article about a suffocating, controlling d-bag being divorced by his wife who was never allowed to do even the simplest of things.

Lol thanks. It's true that I'm a shrink that works at a think tank and my mind is mush right now but I think knowing there's crazy poo poo out there may be why I jumped to "maybe he is accusing her of loving a dog."
