Another time, I offered to mow her front and back yard, but she told me not to worry about it or make a special trip for it. So I decided one Saturday to show up and surprise her and mow her lawn, but she was already outside mowing it. I offered to help and so she let me weedwack and use the blower to clear the sidewalk and that was it.

I get where everyone's coming from but if his worst attribute is that he's upset he can't do stuff for her and doesn't feel helpful, he's automatically a better boyfriend than most of the posters in that subreddit. You can do a lot worse than that.

I mean, he's still wrong and all but it seems like all he needs is a quick reality check and he'll be good to go.

open relationships

I know we've been down this rabbit hole before but this is still such a weird mentality to me. Like if you check the comments you see stuff like:

quote:

It is dishonest to sleep with someone when you are in an open relationship without disclosing that fact. Even if you say you do not want a relationship, that person goes into the situation assuming you are single. You should tell her regardless of what you decide to do, and next time be more upfront from the beginning.

and it's just like, why? When you're doing online dating most people schedule up several dates a week and can easily end up dating multiple people at once while you get to know each other to see if things are goin anywhere. Beyond that a lot of people are gonna have fuckbuddies when they're single, old flames or friends things didn't/won't work out longterm but "hey when we're both bored and single we keep each other company now and then" relationships. Is it expected people disclose this on the first date? Like you sit down and go "hey glad we could meet up but before we start I hosed a friend last weekend and have a netflix and chill date next friday with someone I met on tinder a bit ago"

Particularly if you went into it saying that "you're not looking for a relationship" it just seems so weird to me that anyone would expect exclusivity without a convo on it or even consider it an obligation to make it their business to begin with.

Steak and bj day would almost make sense as a joke holiday if Vday was super gendered in the US but it's not so it's transparently a bitter hateful thing. For this recent valentines day for example I cooked a nice dinner (steak ironically) and made some crazy good chocolate cookies while the gf got me a nice box of chocolates and a sweet card, we just had a nice night celebrating being a couple.

O P E N
Open Relationship Issue: When do their [21 F] [26 M] problems become my [22 F] problems?

quote:

Throwaway account so I make no promises on replies or updates.
BF [26 M] and I [22 F] have been in an open relationship pretty much since the start about 1.5 years ago. The most prominent person to be involved is my ex-GF [21 F] who I was in the process of breaking up with when I met BF. We actually maintained a triangle for about 6 months before I really broke things off with her. I have mostly stopped contact with her (she lives pretty far away so I try to give her and BF space when she comes to visit), but we were best friends for years and I have always planned on reconnecting when I worked through the differences that originally caused the split (she's told me point blank she wants us to figure out how to stay friends).
Several weeks ago I was cleaning up our bedroom when I found our "bedroom camera". We've been a little rocky lately due to issues with his ex (not sex, she's just an alcoholic train wreck who blew back into town and he's too nice to turn her away when she needs help finding an apartment, getting her car fixed, moving, etc.) and I was feeling unsettled after reading one of those fun little exposes about revenge porn sites so I decided on the spur of the moment to delete our last filmed adventure. Of course I run the tape just to watch the first couple minutes and lo and behold it's not me and him. It's BF and ex/friend.
Something about the tape bothered me. BF and I are hardcore kinky. She's intensely vanilla. I haven't talked her for awhile and maybe she has changed, but I deleted the tape because it just felt wrong (probably the influence of the article). Talked to boyfriend about it later and he didn't get mad or anything, but he seemed uncomfortable that I'd seen it.
Fast forward to today. The tape has been eating at me so much that I've blown up over nothing more often than I care to admit and I closed down the open relationship aspect for the foreseeable future. I'll be the first to admit that my views on him having sex with other people have changed drastically of late and we may need to try monogamy if we stay together.
BF has a policy of keeping relationships (especially issues in relationships) separate (a practice I strongly support in most cases) so I haven't heard anything about her take on the situation. I finally broke down and asked him if he'd talked to her about it a few days ago. Turns out he didn't. This weirded me out so I finally got the guts to contact her today.
She didn't know about the tape as it turns out and is not surprisingly unhappy. I got pissed at BF and he broke down and admitted that he didn't really ask her to tape the session. They were both drunk at the time and the camera was already set up in the corner and ready to go (this isn't unusual). He doesn't even remember filming it, and was just as shocked as I was when I told him I'd found it.
Right now I'm pissed but I still love him and I think there may be some validity to what happened. He's been candid about the fact that he enjoys filming and archiving videos. He's always asked me permission before filming anything we do in the bedroom and from my understanding that's always how it's been for him. He does have videos from exes and flings, but they were all taken with permission and he has deleted anything that they didn't want him to have after breaking up or later down the line. I'd call it a load of horse poo poo, but he's always followed my guidelines for filming me and promptly deleted everything he had on me when I asked him to after this mess went down.
I want to say that he just has a kink that he handled irresponsibly, but the fact he didn't fess up to her about the video scares me. She doesn't remember it at all. He says that he remembers her watching him fumble with it, but he doesn't think he actually asked and just assumed it was okay. I know that the video is gone (he always deletes after uploading to the computer so it wouldn't be on the camera for me to see) but that massive breach of her trust remains.
I'm waiting until they talk it through before I try to figure out how I should respond to it. Should I respond to it? Only the three of us know about it so she doesn't seem to feel at risk or anything, but am I intruding if I ask for details from both about what decisions they came to?
Deep down I feel like it was just a really stupid drunk decision on his part and he was just embarrassed about the whole thing, but if she is really hurt or scared by what happened I don't know what I'll do. She's always going to be my friend and I don't feel comfortable condoning his actions by not acknowledging them and terminating the relationship. I do not plan on trying to intervene or defend him, but I don't want to choose between them if I can help it. At what point, if any, would it be okay for me to rely to her my beliefs and understanding of the situation?
TL;DR: BF and I are in an open relationship. Found sex tape of him with a friend and felt that something was off about the situation so I deleted it and talked to BF. Turns out they were drunk and he taped without explicit consent even though he always has before with other people. He then failed to tell her about the tape so I spilled the beans. To what extent should I become involved?
:downs: I barely understood any of this until I got to the tl;dr. Apparently I'm not alone, Reddit agrees

quote:

i'm sorry, i'm having a hard time getting this. your issue isn't that your bf hosed your friend (whom you obviously have a problem with him loving, even though you're oh so carefully sidestepping it and claiming to be cool), but rather, that he taped their sex without her permission?
i guess i don't understand why the gently caress you care. or rather, why you're pretending you care about that, when what you REALLY care about is a) him loving her, period, and b) him loving her on camera, which you felt was reserved for you.

wow, this ... this was hard to read... and that's your life... gently caress. Sorry to say this, it is some complicated stuff.

Both American born, married 25+ years 3 kids together. she leaves moves to Kuwait, sends me Kuwait court papers saying we have annulment, am I still married?

quote:

so both American born, and married in U.S. together for 25+ years, 3 kids together, while I was in Iraq she hops on a plane moves to Kuwait without telling anyone. youngest was 16 when she abandoned them. couple years go by I get some kind of Arabic paper work in a dhl envelope from her. the paper work appears to be Kuwait court saying we have an annulment thru a Kuwait court. she has sense remarried to another man not an American (alarm bells using her for citizenship) I guess the question is am I still married to her? and if so is she committing polygamy? if so who do I call to tell them the guy shes married to now should not get citizenship? ughhhh just so many questions

quote:

yea I did some research and found out about Huntington's disease one of the symptoms is the urge to flee, just take the gently caress off. many cases of people emptying bank accounts and leaving families infants with no notice, and being found 15 years later homeless and destitute and what not. bad situation. people charged with murder because they could not explain the disappearance of a spouse unexpectedly leaving with no prior history of mental illness and what not. one of her uncles has paranoia schizophrenia... I don't know what it all means but I need to protect my boys and myself from her. the other side is I know this Egyptian guy is just with her for his American citizenship and I know once the 5 year mark hits he's coming to America weather she likes it or not. he'll just leave here there in Kuwait to fend for herself, I know this is going to happen. she doesn't understand that she's like a lottery ticket over there to them. well maybe she does, I don't know. I'd just like to nail her rear end to the proverbial cross for the sake of justice for my boys, they deserve at least that much. see her charged and convicted of polygamy. wouldn't want to see her do any jail time just the conviction for the win, and to say I was correct and that I'm not the bad guy in all this.

quote:

they have a saying all over the middle east "women are for babies, men are for fun" in Afghanistan they have a thing called "man love Thursday" I swear to God I'm not making this up Google it. so that on Friday "prayer day" they can ask for forgiveness. I was at a small FOB (forward operating base) down in the Helmand province in south Afghanistan and they had a small contingent of Afghan National Army they called them the A,N,A for short, well I walked by their tent on a Thursday afternoon on my way to the mess tent and the tent flap was pulled back so anyone could look in, half the guys were on their knees blowing the other half not lying. ever heard the phrase Bacha boy? no way I can make that poo poo up. I learned very quickly over there Muslims have two faces, the one they show you and their real one they don't. just remember, women are for babies and men are for fun. Time and time again hundreds of men, teenagers, kids tell me the same exact thing. It's what they believe, it's how they live. tells you alllllll you need to know about them. Now back to your original question "reasons besides citizenship" you can swallow the red pill and open your eyes to the truth, or you can swallow the blue pill and be as naive as you wish to be. but seriously google or youtube Man love Thursday or Bacha boy and see that I'm not lying to you. ten years living over there I think I've seen enough to know what I'm talking about.

quote:

yea she's always been the religious type going form church to church, then she did a 1 year contract up in Kuwait and I think someone brain washed her, she converted to Islam wears the whole ninja out fit minus the veil. she went waaaay far off the reservation. someone pointed me to a video of her on you tube of her doing a half hour interview on Kuwait state tv on how she found Islam and converted and what not. and you know how after you live with someone for 25 years you know when their faking it or lying to you, or somethings just off about them? all the Um's and ah's and long pauses between speaking, that's all I could hear from her in the video, she just sounded so fake. sad thing is I showed to my youngest son and he said he'd forgotten what his mother looked like until he watched the video. none of the three could watch more than a couple of minutes of it. not a single birthday card for any of them no phone calls at all ever. no communication with her children for like 6 years now. had a few strictly business calls from her, how to dispose of her car, taxes things like that but nothing else from her. I just hope she doesn't come back with a suicide vest on. Ah la la la la la la la BOOM!!!
