Well here down-under we have self serve checkouts that freak out if the thing you put on the bagging scales isn't within a certain weight tolerance which is annoying as gently caress.

We have those here in the US, too. They've gotten better about flipping out because you didn't have any room left and had to move a bag to your cart, but they can still be annoying as gently caress for plenty of other reasons.

Plus now they have a second screen above the main screen that shows the security footage of your stupid ugly rear end struggling to get that one thing to scan right.

The "correct" amount of pooping for individuals varies. Its something like if you poop more than 3 times a day and less than once every 3 days worry, otherwise its fine

Feed Meyer, which is a local PNW chain that got bought by Kroger 15 or 20 years ago, has bars now. The bar is always full of boomers trying to watch football while their spouses think they're at the grocery store.

GF used to be a slut, is mentally unstable and depressed. Should I pull the plug?

quote:

I couldn’t really think of a good title so the first thing you should know is that I still deeply love and care for this girl. Me(24M), her(23F)

Okay so there’s a lot to go over here. I’ve been dating this chick for a year and half now and although I had my suspicions before, I didn’t know this until recently. She told me she has slept with over 40 guys and of course that made me feel disgusted. I am the one who wanted to know because I had some suspicions. It was bugging me in the back of my mind and I didn’t want to go the “ignorance is bliss” route. She hasn’t cheated on me and said she didn’t cheat in her prior relationships either.

Apparently(if she is telling the truth), a lot of it happened in the span of two years while she was in university dealing with a drinking problem and an absent father. This is going back about 3ish years now. However, She very rarely drinks anymore and prior to our relationship she was in a 6 month relationship.

She does still deal with a ton of depression issues and a lot of the recent ones started to come up about 8 months after we started dating. In hindsight, it might not have been the best idea to move in. There does seem to be something she gets upset about every few days and it’s extremely challenging to go multiple days without arguing about something. There are tons of fights and we’ve become really good at making up with each other but I don’t think the core issues get solved because we just end up having more arguments about similar stuff. We’ve lived together for for about 4 months now and since then, she has cut herself twice before I told her that I’d leave her over it if she didn’t stop. She has smashed her head against drywall and that left a large dent in the wall. She has talked about killing herself plenty of times and I believe she is in the process of getting some anxiety medication which I think would be beneficial. I love her a lot still and she loves me but wow it’s been really stressful at times. Definitely a lot of good times together but for sure I think there’s been more bad times. Probably something like 55% bad and 45% good.

We have a 8 month lease together that’s up in April. Basically, I’m moving back home afterwards since I’m done school. It is important to note that I was already heavily considering breaking up with her prior to learning about how many guys she’s been with. One of the main issues though is the lease. If I decide to break up with her, I don’t want to tell her to just get out because that’s a good amount of money to give up. Also I don’t know how well living in the same house but being broken up would go. At this point, I’m considering just waiting it out till April when I graduate and deciding what to do then but things keep happening to the point where I’m not sure if it’s just better to uproot everything now while I’m in the middle of a busy school semester.. what should I do?

TL;DR - My girlfriend of 1.5 years is at times suicidal, extremely argumentative and has slept with a ton of guys. I still love her but should I break it off or wait until school is over to decide.

I know it’s a lot but thank you for taking the time to read this.

My (27F) boyfriend (27M) is smaller than me. He introduced me to his family a few days ago and their reaction & comments devastated him
/r/all
I am taller than and more muscular than my boyfriend. I am not a bodybuilder, however he is a shorter man and very skinny. Because of this, our contrast looks more significant and we’ve both always been aware of this. We’ve talked about it plenty of times before and he’s never been distraught over it. Yes, I’ve had my suspicions that maybe our size differences have given him some thoughts in the past, but I’ve never pressed him on it.

Because he’s so skinny, and he’s aware of his health, he’s talked to me about gaining weight. I’ve been helping him try and gain weight at home and have even gone with him to speak to doctors about getting something for this. He has always given up on the progress very early for reasons I always assumed were forgetfulness or laziness. I’m now starting to question if it was also issues with his self esteem insecurities that caused him to stop all the time. I never pushed him on this ‘cause I didn’t want to force him to do anything

Another thing that I’m now thinking about is how he’s never wanted to work out with me at the gym even though he’s told me he’s wanted to get fit. I’m not stupid, I know being seen with me at the gym might’ve made him uncomfortable. We’ve talked to each other about our insecurities and worries like we all do. He always said it’s not being seen together, it’s just being seen in the gym in general. He’d say things like, “even before us I was too embarrassed to go to the gym’ or “oh, I don’t wanna embarrass you.”

Okay, this is common among tons of people, so I believed him. So we’d work out at home, and same thing happens here like with the weight gain, just gives up. The problem now is that, I’m starting to suspect that there’s some deep rooted issues he has, and it’s all ‘cause of the family dinner.

We had dinner at his family’s house and this was the first time they have met me. Nothing was out of the ordinary until the questions about my body started to fly. Nbd, I get them all time. I’m tall, he’s short. My muscles are more visible, his aren’t. Whatevs.

But the next few days, he was visiting his family and talking on the phone. Turns out, they’ve been harassing him, making fun of him, making fun of me, our bodies, everything. I’m dead loving sure this is fueling his insecurities. I found all of this because I caught him crying on the phone arguing with his mom. She is telling him to dump me. Saying things like the cousins or whatever are all talking poo poo. Guys in his family are making fun of his body and mine. Saying all sorts of disgusting things.

He’s so hurt. I know the easiest thing is to just ignore them, but he’s always been close with his family so that’s not going to help him. Stuff like that for people like my boyfriend is always easier said than done.

How do I help him? I want to help him be happy with himself, with his body, and with me. Is it selfish for me to think about myself, too??? I won’t lie, I’m worried of losing him because ive seen the texts, and his mom is demanding that he leave me.

In love with the wrong (married) man

quote:

So I [30F] met this guy [30M] on Tinder almost 4 years back in 2016, we connected so well. We met, had sex and then he blocked me without an explanation. Of course, I was heartbroken, but I moved on. Then after six months or so, he texted me again to apologize, again, we connected and started a casual sexual relationship, which continued even after he changed cities (I traveled over to meet him on my own dime). This went on for almost a year. We had a falling out because he stood me up once after I traveled over to his city and then stopped responding to me. Then one fine day he blocked me again (sometime around Dec 2018). Of course, I was completely heartbroken again, I definitely had feelings for him, I liked him too much. It hurt, but I moved on, however, the same cycle repeated where he texted me to apologize six months later. This time when I responded, he told me, he had been having a steady girlfriend all the while we had been hooking up (from back in 2016) and had gotten married to her in December. I do not know what prompted me to even forgive him this. We started connecting again, and of course, I fell back into the rabbit hole. He is apparently unhappy in his marriage, but he will never give it up. We have now hooked up 4 times now (after knowing he is married), and every time, I feel badly used. I know I need to distance my self from him but I am so attached to him, doesn't help my self-confidence is not great either

​TL;DR - In love with a married and selfish man, knowing its wrong, but not able to let go

He got upset and said he was happy until I rocked up and started pointing out his flaws. I mean he’s 42 years old and was still denying it was him, although after a minute said it was his house and he can piss on the toilet seat if he wants. It goes without saying, we will never own a house together. Edit: His lounge furniture was upside down when I walked in and I said I could come back after he had cleaned or I could help. He said I could help him, so I said I would clean the bathroom as he was finishing the lounge.

quote:

My [28f] fiance's [31m] fetish is getting out of control, and it's ruining our wedding planning.

I'm using a throwaway account because I'm humiliated about how this has been going.

I have been seeing a wonderful man for two years now. About six months ago he proposed to me, and since then I've been elated. We have eagerly been planning our wedding and things seem to be clicking between us. I said yes to my dress, invited about 75 guests, and our wedding is set for this December.

Here's where things get complicated. My fiance enjoys the idea of me being with other men. And yes, before you ask, he is bisexual. We have played out this fantasy consistently over the past couple of years, and I enjoy it as well... for the most part. Some of the time I don't know what he's thinking with his requests. About a year ago, he asked me to "steal" his credit card and take my other boyfriend to an expensive restaurant, treat him to dinner, and then have sex with him in a good hotel. I did all of this and sent pictures. It drove him wild.

Gradually the fetish began to involve turning him into a "sissy." He would be very submissive around me during sexual times, and ask that I talk about my experiences with other men, past and present. Again, I obliged.

So, again, I don't mind at all. I'm sexually open minded and if it makes him happy, then I'm happy too. But now it's getting completely out of control, and is starting to leak into our wedding planning. He seems to be more excited about using this as a chance to get his rocks off than actually start a life with me.

For instance, early on, he asked if my other boyfriend could walk me down the aisle. Since my father is dead, I was planning on my brother doing it, but he wants my boyfriend to do it instead. Many of our guests know about the nature of our relationship so he said it wouldn't be a big deal, but it was just too weird for me to even consider. I put my foot down and said no. He reluctantly gave up on the idea, although my other boyfriend will be attending (the three of us are also good friends, so it's natural for him to be there).

Later on he suggested that on our wedding night, my boyfriend be the first person to have sex with me when married. He would be in the room, which is not usual but has happened before, and then cuddle up next to me when we were finished. I agreed to this because whatever, I want him to enjoy our wedding night too.

Today was too much. Our venue has a special service (I think it's special at least?) where during the ceremony and beginning of the reception, they will take a video, and then at the end of the reception show it on a big screen matched to music. We have a certain deal of freedom over how they'll arrange the end product, and while it's expensive, we both agreed that it would be a nice touch. At the very end of the credits though, when brainstorming a last goodbye comment, he suddenly suggested that the video end with something like "Now get to your hotel room and prep the bull you sissy."

I feel sick to my stomach. Has his fetish grown so out of control that he wants me to humiliate him in front of all of our friends and family for sexual gratification? He's never been this way, and I love him as much as ever before, but I need to put a stop to this soon and I don't even know how. He gets so excited when ideas like these come up and has gotten angry at me for saying "no" to his other wedding planning ideas too much.

tl;dr: Fiance and I are into hotwifing/roleplaying/sissy fantasizing, he wants to involve this in the wedding, what do I do?

And the follow up:

quote:

[Update] My [28f] fiance's [31m] fetish is growing out of control. We talked it through, and made some decisions.

Since then a lot of people have private messaged me with good advice. Some people have insulted my fiance. A couple tried to get themselves involved in my sex life by asking if they could be a bull (what the gently caress?). I took the advice to heart and had a talk with my fiance.

Here's what happened:

The hotwifing/cuckold fetish stuff continued on as I expected. He continuously kept pushing new ideas about how I can humiliate him at our wedding. First he asked if we could get married with my boyfriend's semen inside of me, and I said no. Somewhere between his suggestion that my vows to him involve talking about how useless and pathetic of a man he is, and his other suggestion about me wearing an "I <3 BBC" anklet (he goes crazy when I talk about my black exes although I'm not sure how I feel about him fetishizing a race), I interrupted him and told him it wasn't working for me. I basically poured out all of my feelings about how his attitude is ruining my wedding.

After a lot of talking, some yelling, and an unhealthy dose of self-deprecation from him, we've come to an understanding that I want to please him, but don't want to make it public. So, where possible, we're working in a few things that he wants to do, but they're very small and limited. It makes him so happy when I agree to an idea so I can't help doing something. Instead of writing "prep the bull" at the end of our highlight video, we're going to write berth ell pup, which is an anagram of it. If asked we'll just say it means "I love you" in Old Norse. I won't wear a visible anklet, but I'll wear panties with a similar message on them (with another white pair on top). As for having sex with my boyfriend before the wedding in the makeup room, I told him that definitely crosses the line and the answer will still be no.

We have started couples counseling with a therapist who is qualified as a sex therapist as well. We all acknowledged that my fiance has a serious problem, although the therapist said that indulging in his desires from time to time is not terribly harmful in this sort of case. She gave us indispensable advice about instead of focusing on what I refuse to do, focus on a line of what we can do, making clear rules. He should respect those rules by not even suggesting something which bends them. My rules are if it's safe, painless, and private, I'll happily consider it.

Things are going better now although there was one hiccup of him getting turned on during the therapist's meeting and later admitting in private that he was playing with himself in the bathroom (apparently when the two of us were discussing how he was being selfish it set him off?). I was too confused to know what to say, but shaming him for having sexual desires doesn't seem right either. I don't know if I want to bring this up in our next session.

tl;dr: Drew some lines with my fiance, and things are going better! We're in therapy now. Thank you for your great advice.

the update-update after it was pointed out that someone would probably google that phrase which would lead to the reddit posts

Oh my god you're right.

I told him this ten minutes ago. He knows that I reddit (he's a redditor too), and when I brought this up in the first place I told him that I asked reddit for advice and showed him the original thread. It's the main reason why we ended up going to therapy in the first place. He was actually the one who suggested that I update you all on the situation.

After I told him that someone could just Google berth ell pup and find the phrase in this thread, he looked me in the eye and said "That's so loving hot."

When he goes to work I'm leaving. He'll find this post eventually but I don't care. I need a few days to cool off and reconsider my options. He's ill. He needs serious help and I think I'm going to call his brother to tell him (without specifics). I texted my aunt already and she'll be here to pick me up with a moment's notice.

and to spoil the fun, a year later, the op posted in /r/drama about making these, so the posts are likely a creative writing exercise by some chud who probably posts on voat/gab now
