AITA for refusing to go support my mom at a strip club amateur night?

I'm a 19M, my mom is a 41F. She worked as a stripper a very long time ago when I can't remember it. Today she has a pretty normal job as a receptionist and bookkeeper and settled down, she was even a Sunday School teacher for a couple years.

Recently she told me she's having nostalgic thoughts of stripping and would like to see guys go crazy over her again and wants to dance at a local club on amateur night. I was thinking "fine your decision" until she asked me to come with. The club is non-alcoholic so I can attend under 21. I was stunned. I asked why and she said since the contest is heavily based on crowd applause she wants people cheering for her to compete with the much younger women. I told her "you'd...be naked" and she basically said "oh come on like you've never seen me naked before." Not the point, I've never seen her stripping off sexy clothes, gyrating in a way to make guys hard and spreading her legs. She then later asked if I could at least ask my friends to come with her, something I'm also not wanting to do, ("hey guys, you want to see my mom naked?" Very very awkward.)

After a bit of refusing my mom started tearing up a bit. She said she doesn't have much time left she could do this and thus it's important to her, for all the issues with stripping she loves the feeling of being sexy and desired. But she needs support and doesn't want to go on her own especially with women who could be her daughter competing. I'm starting to feel guilty, I get she really wants to do this and I'm not helping out my mom. Think of all the things she's done for me after all...I might be a bit selfish not helping her just because it'd be a bit awkward. AITA?

I’ve (24f) have been hiding my sugar baby/escort past from my fiancé (26m). Is it bad to keep it a secret?

So when I was in college I had no income and was struggling to pay for everything. At 20 I decided to join Seeking arrangements with a friend mostly as a joke, but then I actually started getting attention from men on the site. For about 8 months I was being paid to go out to lunches and dates with much older men. Just spending time, talking, and maybe sending some nudes (without my face in them). But one guy (m64) was pretty consistent for a few months and I did sleep with him one time. Only once. I felt so disgusting after that I literally went home and cried and threw up. Again this was all out of necessity not desire. I deleted my profile that same night. And just ate ramen and was broke. Fast forward years later, I am now happily engaged to a very Christian man. I know he would immediately end things with me if he ever found out. I know I can never tell him about it, but i still have this feeling in my gut that I need to tell him. Only two of my friends knew about it and neither would tell anyone ever. There is no evidence of my profile left online for him to stumble upon either.

TL;DR my fiancé doesn’t know I used to be a sugar baby and I feel bad taking this secret to my grave. Should I tell him even if I’m 100% sure he will end things?

Maybe don't marry a "very Christian man" if you are worried about being found out and self-righteously judged for having a sexual past.

Either that or commit 100% to the lie and you've already failed since you admitted it on reddit. Build the idea in his head that those 2 friends are insanely jealous of you for landing a great guy like him and would say anything to try and break up your true love.

Edit. Wow big shock that a lot of reddittors insist that she must disclose all her sexual past secrets or she's a lying whore who doesn't deserve him. It's almost like they don't think of it as marrying a real human being capable of growth and change so much as a collection of past deeds and misdeeds.

Reddit "cheating"

quote:

I'm using the term cheating moreso in reference to my boundary being known and crossed, not physical cheating. I just don't know how else to label it.

I am a F/28 & my partner is M/28, we have been together for 4 years but are highschool sweethearts so have a longer history. My partner has a porn addiction that I have known about and tried to set boundaries around, typically I am pretty objective towards porn but his use started to replace our sex life and my needs are/where not being met. He says he will stop yet it just graduated to a different site ect, he gets lazy, it becomes obvious and then I find proof.

We have been fighting due to living situation issues (evicted, audited, ect) which quite honestly are direct results of choices he made without my consent but that's another story. The other night he rolls out of bed, I find him jerking off to porn but it's an imgur link and I'm not stupid. Our emails are linked bc we share bills ect, he changed his password to reddit a hour after I confronted him. The next morning I leave the house early to go get groceries, and he decided to try and hack my Facebook "to see where I was going" apparently paranoid I'm leaving him. So I hack his reddit, and find direct chats to a NSFW user.

This for me is a huge no, bc porn is one thing but when you are directly interacting with users/people you've crossed a line and I see this graduating in a dangerous fashion. What I found was crumbs compared to what is probably going on and he will lie unless provided with proof. I remember seeing reddit coin purchases on our bank statement and I'm wondering if it's common to exchange nudes for coins? I also found photos of him I believe he uploaded but like I said can't prove it because he has been great at wiping the slate. Is there any way to recover deleted posts? Find coin transactions, ect. I realize it's not even worth the effort but it would give me closure bc I have been gaslighted throughout this all.

TD;LR : F/28 found proof that partner M/28 has been interacting with women on NSFW reddits but he deleted proof, wondering if there is a way to recover deleted data.

Teenage son (17) fattened up by ex-wife (46)

quote:

About a year ago, my son (16 at the time,17 now) started primarily living with my ex-wife (46). This kid has grown up his whole life quite heathily, playing just about every sport he could try, excelled on his school soccer team, you get the picture.

Anyway, after this shift in his life, things started changing. At first I just noticed small differences in what he wanted to do when we spent time together. Out went the suggestions to go running, and in came the complaints about being hungry and wanting to go out to eat, etc. It wasn't til about halfway through the year when it really hit me what was happening; he walked into the kitchen one morning without a shirt (pretty common habit of his), and I was greeted with a quivering little pot belly that led the way as he searched around the kitchen for breakfast food. I was shocked but didn't say anything--it had been a challenging few months for him and didn't want to cause a commotion.

Fast forward a few more months to the end of summer, and he tells me he quit soccer on the suggestion of his mother. That's when I knew I had to have a conversation to nip this in the bud; the last thing he needed was to lose his main source of physical activity.

I thought that talk with her did the trick, but apparently not. At this point, he's like a totally different person than he was last year. He's gotten downright fat--I'm talking at least 40 pounds heavier than he used to be. He rebuffs all my attempts to be active with him, and he recently became agitated when I started turning down his eating suggestions. I've spoken with him and his mother about this, but I feel like everything I say is falling on deaf ears. What do I do next?

TL;DR - formerly fit son gets fat after a year living with mom. Not sure how to change my approach to the problem.

I wonder if the bee husband also thinks he wouldn't be an rear end in a top hat if he had gotten rid of a beloved cat or dog because "what if they attacked the baby when it was born"? Like, the wife has beekeeping as a hobby and from what I've heard they're really not dangerous especially if you know how to handle them, which I'm sure she does. She's not going to get attacked by thousands of bees randomly. What a total rear end in a top hat.

This reminded me of a previous post from a while ago with the same situation except it was iguanas or some other small lizards that she was really into. The dude waited until she went out of town to get rid of them on Craigslist because they're obviously way too dangerous to keep in the same house as a baby, even in a tank behind a locked door. He was totally shocked that she got pissed and left when she found out because it's not like lizards are even real pets, right guys, like who cares?? In this case it was also very obvious that he was very bothered by the fact that she liked lizards and thought it was stupid and weird.

My boyfriend ignored me during threesome - what do I do?

quote:

So my boyfriend and I have had sex with this girl before - she’s a mutual acquaintance- and we had a repeat experience last night. While I was mildly intoxicated he was not. It started off well enough but then when he penetrated her he moved his body to physically cut me off and wouldn’t let me back in. I was fine watching for a while but then they just completely ignored me - she offered to switch out after about twenty minutes but by that point I just felt hurt and uncomfortable so I left the room. My boyfriend of two years continued to gently caress her for thirty minutes.

He’s taking accountability now but I honestly just feel so disgusted and hurt I don’t know what to do. I’m not mad at her at all and I’ve made that clear. We’ve had issues with him listening to me in our relationship and it feels like this is just a huge representation of that.

TLDR: boyfriend of two years ignored me during threesome, I’m feeling extremely hurt and having trouble moving on. How do I address this?

Me [27 F] with my roommate [28 F] - she sheds her skin all over the apartment and never cleans

quote:

I really like my roommate. We're good friends and get along well. The issue is pretty straightforward. She is incredibly lazy and never cleans. I work 12 hour days while she is sleeping most of the time (she does work and go to school, but is nowhere near as busy as I am), and I still end up doing 95% of the cleaning. The issue is she has a skin condition (I know it's no fault of her own) and sheds skin everywhere. There is a couch she sits on that my friends and I never sit on because it is so covered in dead skin. To do that and then on top of it never clean makes the house really really gross. I understand that it's tough to have that kind of medical issue, but it's making it really nasty to live in the apartment. I keep telling her to clean and she says she will and then never does. Not sure what to do at this point besides move out (which I will be doing in the summer).

It certainly is, and rarely does something like that just happen out of nowhere. There was definitely some inciting event that caused the son to change his behavior and it wasn’t just ‘living with mom’, and dad knows what it was but conveniently left it out because it’s probably his fault.

Sexual past is one of those things that you should be able to discuss but that normally shouldn't need to be brought up; guys who are obsessed over bodycount are lovely.

The only people who insist on knowing all the details of someone's sexual past are because no matter what they hear they will get furious, jealous, and always circle back to in whenever there is an argument about the relationship.

It'll either be

"Well why don't you go suck 20 dicks like you did in college" or
"I'm not bad at sex you are, its your fault you only ever hosed 2 other people not mine"

There is literally nothing about a meaningful personal relationship that is improved by knowing exactly how many times and under what circumstances your partner engaged in sexual activity prior to being with you.

I though it was something more extreme like her ex had assaulted her in that fashion, and when she told her current bf he got mad she wouldn't let him have anal with her since she's "used to it"

There's been more then a few "partner is insisting on anal sex" that are borderline abuse or actually outright assault as described by the op.

edit: Found it

quote:

A few years ago my ex boyfriend raped me when he was drunk. We weren’t even in the country, we spent that summer in Italy and i felt like there was no point to try to report him, I didn’t even know if I could since it didn’t happen in America. He did it anally and it was very painful for me and it was a bad experience to say the least. Very traumatic nothing like that ever happened to me before and I only just turned 19.

I’m dating someone else and some time has passed also. But the thing is my boyfriend really wants to do it with me. I told him about my ex and how I don’t think I can do anal ever in my life again and he got sad. He didn’t think it was fair that because of someone else’s actions, he was being punished. He promised to be gentle. After some persuasion I finally agreed and he was gentle like he said but still it was not good for me, it was painful and scary both physically and mentally. I made him stop and promised him he could try again another time. He wants to now, he’s been talking about it since that happened and he texted me that he wants to do it tomorrow since I promised we would try again. I’m not ready for it and I don’t know what to do. I had a panic attack and been crying all day.

There was one where the woman had been an escort and did anal for clients but wouldn't do it for him. They broke up and she went back to doing anal for clients.

There was another where the woman had done all sorts of stuff before that she no longer wanted to and the guy got mad she wouldn't do things with him.

AITA for telling a bridesmaid to leave me alone at my wedding?

I got married 16th November last year. It was a great day except my half sister, who was one of my bridesmaids, pissed me off a bit.

She was the only relative in my bridesmaids and the other 2 were childhood friends. We're not super close as we didn't grow up together and I only learned of her existence 5/6 years ago, but dad asked me to include her. We did make an effort to make her feel welcome, but I felt like she didn't seem at all interested in the wedding. I get that we're not close but even with people who I'm only just meeting who tell me they're engaged I'll still congratulate them or ask questions, meanwhile she was unaffected on finding out I was engaged and seemed disinterested in all wedding stuff.

With the dresses I knew I couldn't put them all in the same thing as they all have completely different body types. I gave them 2 requirements: dark green, and under £100 because I'd be paying them back. There was a group chat where the 2 bridesmaids who were my friends both posted dress ideas and I chose out of what they liked, while my half sister posted a picture of a dress and said she'd already bought and paid for it. No problem, it was cute and it was the right colour so I said it looked nice, reimbursed her, and moved on.

Wedding day. Everyone is getting ready at my place. She shows up with hair, makeup, and nails done. She complains to me that she had to get up early to get them done professionally. I have no problem with this, but the problem I did have is that if I asked her to do anything she would say she couldn't. I asked her to pass me a hair slide and help button my dress and she said both times she didn't want to mess up her nails. Just really unhelpful, and sat there watching TV while we all got ready. She then put on her dress (she arrived in joggers and t shirt) and the dress was the wrong colour. It looked similar to what she showed us online but instead of it being a dark green it was really bright, bordering neon. She said that it had just arrived wrong, but that was months before the wedding, and she never thought to say anything. If she had I'd have said to send it back and find another.

Wedding happens, she looks really out of place with everyone else in dark colours, and eventually it's time for the reception. She sits with dad and our stepmum while my friends say they could really do with some help. I end up doing both bride and bridesmaid stuff while she sits and has a chat. Half hour later she asks if I need help. I tell her to just leave me alone. She looked a bit put out but that was it.

I didn't know what I said was an issue until today, when I called dad to ask what he wanted to do for his birthday, and he said that he wanted to have separate things with me and my half sister. I asked why and he said she said I was rude at my wedding and called me a "bridezilla".

Was I the a-hole/bridezilla?

My (25m) girlfriend (26f) wants me to take a lie detector test

quote:

u/Adventurous-Swimming1h
Context: my girlfriend and I have been together for 2.5 years. We speak / have spoken about marriage / kids / future for a long period of time, and are culturally and intellectually very similar.

Two months ago, my girlfriend found out that, in the first month of the relationship I cheated on her - received a HJ from a random at a party. She found out through reading my Facebook messages with a friend where I admitted to doing this and feeling extremely guilty. She did not go through messages behind my back, I had given her permission for another reason.

She asked me about the messages and I continued to lie about what had happened, until after hours of fighting, I finally did admit to it.

She tried to cut me out for three weeks but I was going through a hard time and very slowly she seemed to give me us another shot with me recommending couples counselling and my own psychological treatment.

Recently (two months after the incident) She questioned my honesty / trust in the relationship. I offered, without thinking about it, to do a lie detector test (I often say things that I don’t mean and I regretted it immediately).

She wants me to do it really badly. I do not want to do it. I believe the best way to sort our issues out are through couples counselling.

She claims the lie detector test is a deal breaker for her.

What should I do?

TLDR: I cheated on gf (hand job). She wants me to do a lie detector test. I don’t want to.

Turns out my [30f] boyfriend [50m] has been seeing an older Russian woman for FOUR YEARS

quote:

u/Andronica198933d
So I have been single for three years and a year ago on okcupid met a man who was very keen and who pursued me for dates. We went out on about twenty dates over the course of a year, sleeping together twice.

However, about six months in we are in a bar with his friends and one of them takes me aside and said did I know that he’s got a Russian girlfriend in her forties who lives in Central Europe and who he visits every so often? Reader, I’d had no idea.

On okcupid he’d listed himself as single and wanting a long term relationship... all lies.

I went off him and stopped seeing him only for him to persuade me to support his political campaign: for a month I helped him up and down the country, working hard, unpaid, on the understanding he’d take me out to celebrate and thank me at the end.

However as the campaign came to an end he became increasingly evasive and I then discovered that his Russian gf was in town and that he was taking her out instead...

They are now on holiday together in Central Europe for Christmas and I’m heartbroken and kicking myself for being taken in by this massive player.

What should I do?

TL;DR my older boyfriend has been seeing an older Russian woman for four years. She lives abroad so he uses the time they’re apart to date other women. What should I do?
