"Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces"
Malachi 2:3

You know, most people say not to read the pornhub comments, but I think they're really missing out.
My [m37] cousin [m25] refuses to pay me back for a table he used the bathroom on
quote:
I have a table in my backyard that I built to clean fish on. It’s got a hole right in the middle of it that I sit a bucket under and sweep all of the nasty bits into. Today I came home from work to grab lunch and see my cousins truck in the driveway. I walk around back just in time to see a log of poo poo falling onto the ground and my cousin on top of the table with his pants around his ankles. He may or may not have also been slightly aroused, I don’t know the normal state of his penis.
I shouted at him and he got startled and hopped off. As I start laying into him about what the gently caress he was doing he hoses his rear end off and then just sprayed the poo poo into the ground with the hose.
His story is essentially that he stopped in for an emergency poo poo in the woods behind my house because he couldn’t make it home and saw the table and “couldn’t resist”. He said he really wanted to know what making GBS threads on his back felt like.
At the time I was too flustered to think and just told him to go the gently caress home. Later I texted him and told him he needed to pay me back for the materials used in the table because I wouldn’t be using it anymore and he refused. He said it wasn’t that big of a deal and he’s short on cash. Honestly that’s the part I’m most annoyed about however the fact that he just sprayed poo poo all over my yard right next to my patio is definitely a close second.
The whole situation is so weird I don’t know what to do. A part of me just feels like shaming him to the whole family but he’s an adult so it’s not like my aunt and uncle can make him pay me. Should I just give up on it or should I tell our family? I haven’t even told my wife yet.
TLDR; cousin poo poo through a hole in my table. Won’t pay for a new table
Waiting for a goon to come in and advocate for tableshitting
Also tell everyone the cousin has ever met, what the gently caress kind of question is this.
EDIT: OP, unusually, didn't post from a burner. His post history didn't shed any light on this situation, but most of his posts are on r/cigars.

Sounds like a plot for "How Karen got Her Groove Back"
Yes, call his parents so that his shame and guilt become so insurmountable that he'll hate himself for life and then become a Republican.
What that kid did was obviously wrong and her initial response was undoubtedly right, but from what she told he was already embarrassed more than enough. Also I hate people that don't use proper spacing after punctuation marks.

He's already a Republican. Even if he weren't, this isn't op's responsibility. Don't blame victims. Don't insist the Brock Turners of the world are too sad to eat steak so have been punished enough.

i love the fact that his cousin stopped by his house to take a poo poo in the woods as well. Like, what the gently caress? That just seems like insanely poor planning at the very least.

It's a studio with a huge walk in closet. On my first night here I didn't have any furniture yet, so I threw my TempurPedic mattress topper on the floor of the closet and slept in there. It was actually super cozy and comfortable, so I decided to stick with it.
This sounds super comfy and convenient actually.

My (28f) neighbors (50s/60sF) dogs bark constantly. I have tried everything to get her to take care of it but can't/won't. My next step is getting her dogs taken away, should do it?
quote:
Some things I need to say:
I have thought about it and this is not a legal issue, since I've been going round and round with this situation for almost 1.5 years, I am very well aware of my legal rights/responsibilities.
Barking is only one of the issues and the one that affects me the most, but she is also hugely neglectful of the dogs and doesn't take care of them beyond feeding them. I put the main issue in the title.
So background on the situation, I bought my first house about 3 years ago and I literally love it. It's am amazing 1920s craftsman in the heart of our downtown. I've put my heart, money and soul into this place.
about 2 years ago a couple moved in catty corner to me. The man was very nice but his wife would scream at him constantly, they'd have huge battles and finally one day I heard him say "I'm not f---- doing this anymore" and he left, I literally have not seen him since. Almost to the day after I heard this, the wife started accumulating dogs. I think at the most she's had at least 7 and maybe more at any given time. I know that several have died so I would guess she's gone through 10 dogs on a rotating basis in the last several years.
I need to say here that we have a neighborhood facebook page and I think it was through this that she found my page and friend requested me. I figured why not so I regularly see her updates. Her entire page is kind of like a combination of "oldpeoplefacebook" and "dankmemes" and "cringe" all put together with 90% of her page being things like self created memes that say "happiness is dogs!" "99% of my life is my dogs, the other 1% is details." So in her brain and/or outward appearances she is a huge dog lover.
But the reality is totally different. Her dogs bark constantly. I mean constantly. There isn't a minute that goes by in any day where her dogs aren't barking. I tried very politely to ask her if she could bring them in so I could sleep, she said no since they scared her birds. I offered to take them all for walks (for free) since maybe the bark because they are so couped up in a small yard. I even contacted rescue organizations who peeked over the wall and contacted neighbor to take the dogs because of the horrible conditions they live in, but she refused. I've tried contacting our neighbors but they are both AirBnb owners and since people are generally in and out in a night, they haven't seen it as a problem. I tried one of those anti-bark ultra sonic device and that seemed like it made the problem worse.
Finally I called the police. The police cited her for a noise violation but we went to court and the judge waived the fine. The judge actually scolded me saying that I was wasting his courts time and that this is the reason animal control exists.
I called animal control and it was a nightmare to get through to them. When I finally did, the way the process is works is they send her a letter, she has 10 days to correct the problem and then I either call back and say it's fixed or its not. Well the first letter nothing happened so I requested another be sent. This one she responded to and said there's no problem at all and ignored it. Animal control did nothing and we had to start the process all over again, this time since she didn't fix the problem we had a county sponsored mediation where I explained the problem, played the recording I did with my go-pro (from my bedroom) but she refused to agree to any fixes. Next I had to keep a log of when the dogs barked for 15 days and then go before a judge.
All of this had taken 3/4 of a year at this point, and I hadn't had a seconds peace in my own house. We went before the judge (not same as before) and she finally agreed she do something about the barking. She did nothing so we had to go before the judge again and he fined her $100 for every day the dogs had barked past the last court date which was something like $3200. He also warned her that the next step was the complete removal of her dogs by animal control and he had the authority under state law to prevent her from owning animals for up to five years (I think, not sure of the time frame). She begged and begged the judge that she would fix the problem and that her dogs were her life and that she would literally die if they were taken away and that since her husband left the only love she had in the world was her dogs. For the first time I actually felt sympathy towards her.
That really got her attention and I had some peace and quiet for about 3 weeks. I even gave her some grace time when the dogs would bark for an hour or so.
But this weekend the dogs started barking at about 6 AM Friday and have not stopped and it's not almost 3pm Sunday. Saturday evening, I went over to talk with her and I know she was home but she didn't answer the door.
Basically, I call animal control the dogs are gone. 95% of me feels that she was just putting on a show for the judge with her speech but part of me worries that 5% chance it was true, she may really suffer from the dogs being taken away.
Do I just need to call and get this moving? Have I put up with this long enough?
tl;dr: my neighbors dogs bark constantly. I have been through almost 1.5 years of police, courts and animal control with her. The judge said next complaint and he bans her from owning animals. There's a small chance this will really affect her and I feel some guilt over that. What do I do?

"Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces"
Malachi 2:3
|
OP is loving weak. He should've called the authorities already and set up his gopro to record his neighbor getting owned. Hopefully she follows through on her threat to kill herself.
I'm asking this in all legitimate honesty because I have no idea what the etiquette is here: what is an appropriate clothing and/or jewelry-type gift to get a friend of the opposite gender, with no romantic connotations?
Probably my favorite thing about SA is that we can say stuff like this and post at irony poisoning level 0 for a while. It's so refreshing.
I assume you are a man, so when you're wondering if something is appropriate to give to a platonic female friend, ask yourself a few questions.
1) Is this woman seeing someone? If so, would the gift you picked out be the kind of thing a significant other would be expected to give and not anyone else, like lingerie?
2) Have you ever seen the woman wearing/using the article you're planning on giving her? e.g. does receiving it as a gift demonstrate some kind of specific attention you've paid to the conscious ways she modifies the way she dresses?
3) Would this be the kind of gift you would feel comfortable and not weird or skeeved out giving your mom?
4) Does this gift cost a lot more money than usual relative to how much you normally spend on each other within the parameters of your friendship?
If you can answer those and feel comfortable moving forward, you are probably fine. If you're still doubting yourself, you can always ask your friend, as though she were a man before making a blunder. "Hey Janine, I saw a blue silk Hermes scarf at the antique store last week. Is that the kind of thing you might be interested in? I know your birthday is coming up next month." and she will have a chance to tell you yes or say no, and then you can move on.

Me [22f] with my dad [55m] 22 years, I love him... but he met crazy. And he's crazy. So what happens when crazy meets crazy? They drop their jobs and move close to me for 'reasons'.
quote:
My dad and I always had kind of a rocky past. My mom split with him when I was like, 13 or 14. They broke us the news outside of a Sonic drive-in place while we were eating ice cream at 9PM. My siblings and I all reacted different. I was never particularly close to either of my parents but I grew apart from my dad quite a bit. Both parents lied a lot during and after the divorce. But my dad never got over demonizing my mom and continues to this day.
He abused(es) drugs, is a raging alcoholic, lies about medical conditions (example: when I was in middle school he told our entire street that he had lung cancer), would steal my friend's parent's prescription medicine, told un-true stories about his past, made off color sexual comments toward me and my sisters (example: he once drunkenly pointed out that I have the biggest boobs in the family), etc. He kept threatening to leave my mom first because he was satisfied with her being being a waitress forever while he managed the restaurant and she got really sick of it and wanted to go to college. He wasn't down with it and told her he'd leave so she called his bluff and ended up kicking him out. Well, that's the version I got from her. According to him he admitted all of the above issues and said he attempted therapy with her but found out she was already sexually involved with the next door neighbor and bailed.
The next door neighbor thing may or may not be true. They did have a relationship but I remember it starting during the mid-separation phase of the divorce. Like I said, I was 13 or 14 and frankly don't care who my parents became involved with as long as they didn't hurt us.
So basically during and after the divorce dad took it out on us. Primarily me because I 'looked like my mom and acted like her'. He'd get drunk out of his mind and pick us up for weekends and put us in harms way constantly. He'd use us to pick up younger women and he attacked my sister with a broom once when he was high. Eventually he grew out of the really dark days but still to this day drinks and lies.
I ended up moving out of state, actually. It was a toxic environment and I have a child now. I realized I was beginning to develop similar personality traits and habits to my parents and figured getting away and going to therapy would help me start anew and improve my life. I was right. I've been here for a while now and distanced myself greatly from them.
Well a year before I moved out of state my dad met someone. Actually a girl he went to high school with (I say girl, she's actually older than my 55 year old dad). She was married to his best friend but cancer took his friend and she flew to my dad for support. She actually lived out of state and moved to be his roommate. So as far as I know, they've been together for two years now and aren't actually labeling it. They claim to be roommates but act like a married couple.
My dad has had girlfriends before... but mostly really young girls with issues. One woman in particular who he moved in with and was abusive to him and us. After he left her he vowed no more girlfriends because he didn't wanna chance another her. So I think his way of keeping his word on that is to ditch being exclusive with this lady (we'll call her Barbara) he just slapped 'roommate' on her and forgot to tell us the -with benefits part.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Barbara. She's a sweet lady. She's very open about her past and how she's been a mother since she was 16, both her parents died when she was in her twenties, her first husband would beat her near death and eventually she left him and he gave up his paternal rights to her children, and her last husband (my dad's best friend) was a narcissist who didn't understand her. She thinks my dad is the kindest person who's ever come into her life and practically worships him. Why? Dunno. I don't see him that way, but I've known him for 22 years and always knew him to be extremely self involved and unable to function for the people he loves.
At first we really liked her because she distanced herself. Then she got kind of creepy with her involvement. After the first few months of being with him (living with him, I guess) I was still living in that state. I ended up getting a really bad UTI from my partner and never treated it so the infection traveled up to my kidneys and caused an infection that landed me in the hospital. I was there from Monday to Saturday and miserable with fever and vomiting. My mom was actually on a field trip for school (almost has her PHD, so proud of her) so she couldn't be there. My sisters came in her place to make sure all was well. My partner was more than there for me. My dad also wanted to come see me.
Now my dad can be dramatic. Like, once a very estranged family member died from old age and he took two weeks off of work and staged a family walk in that guy's memory. Cried for weeks and flew to Louisiana to drink a beer by the grave. We were sad for the lost family member, but really mortified that he was reacting that way when he met the guy once. So when I was in the hospital he was all over that. Tried to take a selfie with me but I told him no. Brought Barbara and that's the day I stopped liking her.
Her deceased husband was a nurse for a living. So, naturally, she criticized the hospital I was staying in and made sure to tell the nurses how to do their jobs because apparently she knew better. She even started messing with my IV and I had to literally swat her away. She came back on her own the next day and started talking to me about my mom. I grumpily told her that since she didn't know my mom she needed to stray to a different topic and she insisted on telling me she could be like a mom to me to replace the mom that 'doesn't love me'.
Had to call a nurse to remove her from the room. It dawned on me that my dad's lies about my mom apparently never stopped and now his new 'roommate' felt it necessary to straight up pity me for false reasons.
We had a month of silence then my dad's roommate insisted I name my next child after my dad because I need to carry on the name of such a good man. I told her this wasn't my belief and that I wasn't having more children so instead she pressured her child to name her son after my dad. And that girl did.
That's around the time I started planning for a move away and started job seeking out of state. Ended up moving and kind of fell out of contact.
So here's my thing now. My dad misses me. He misses me so much that he quit his job to be an uber driver two hours away from where I live. She went to school to be an accountant and found a job there as well. I'm horrified and feel that suddenly my move is being intruded on by crazy family. I tried calling him to talk about it but he won't talk to me. He will, but here's the thing, she doesn't let him talk to any of us unless we're on speaker so she can be involved to.
So, Reddit, how in the world do I speak to my dad about this? I've tried explaining that I want to talk to only him but nada. I feel like she's controlling and I don't understand what they have to benefit from moving so close to me and so far from their family and lifelong careers. Help me understand and help me find a way to talk to them about this without losing my cool.
tl;dr: My mentally unstable dad met a woman who is controlling and, frankly, sticks her nose in places it doesn't belong. She isn't even his girlfriend or wife. Now they are moving out of state and to where I live and this isn't cool. Don't know how to talk to him because she won't let him really talk to me and feeling really confused.

AITA for getting a teenager’s smartphone data and wifi privileges taken away?
OP posted:I have been in a committed relationship with a man I love nearly for 2 years now. The current isolation order has helped us realize we are meant for each other, and that he wants to move up the timetable of our relationship by having me move in with him immediately.
The problem is he has a teenager at home (16 years old) who doesn’t really approve of the committed relationship we have. Originally, we intended to move in together after she turns 18 and goes off to college. But as I said, our current isolation illuminated our understanding of how much love we have between us, and he will no longer delay our happiness because his daughter still cannot process her parents’ divorce 4 years ago despite intensive counseling and therapy.
So he sat her down and broke the news to her a couple weeks back, and talked it out. She didn’t respond well, but we gave her time to cool off. Today we sat her down together, and told her I will be moving in at the end of the month. We tried to be as gentle and reassuring as possible, but we also expected her to behave with a level of maturity she did not display today during our conversation. She is 16, and is old enough to understand life doesn’t always conform to her wishes. We didn’t ask her to suddenly approve our relationship, because we don’t need her approval. What we demanded of her is that she behave respectfully towards her father and me.
Well, she failed. She has a lot of anger and self-control issues. She texted me nasty messages and got her mom to do the same. She wouldn’t stop even after I politely but sternly told her the nasty messages are unacceptable. My bf asked me what he should do. I have always known his daughter likes to push the envelop to see what she can get away with (I babysat her when she was young). I did not let her get away: I told him he should take away her texting and wifi privileges. If she needs the internet for school, she needs to use the desktop connected to the ethernet in the family room. Otherwise, zilch. Phone data and wifi are cut off. Now she is calling me and leaving me terrible messages on my voicemail. Her mom also left me a message telling me I’m an rear end in a top hat for “disciplining” her child. But I only suggested a disciplinary action. It was her dad who agreed and executed. She and her mom (the ex wife) are just so exhausting. My friends told me I handled the explosive child just fine, but I really was taken back by the mom who seems to be escalating the daughter too.
quote:Info: you used to babysit her as a kid? In what capacity did you meet her father?
OP posted:Professionally, in childcare. I did not start dating him until 2 years ago. I stopped babysitting for him and his ex wife before their divorce 4 years ago.

lol at all the fat goons who never run trying to appear fit and inadvertently “it’s only a 5k, Michael, what could it take? 10 minutes?”-ed themselves before you posted your actual exact time
40 minute 5k is loving slow, my geriatric parents can jog faster than that.
A 10 minute mile is achievable by anyone without disabilities with minimal effort.
My own 5k pace is just under 18 minutes so this isn’t something I’m totally out of my rear end about.
You walk nine minute miles?
Check your math there
Yeah.... I noticed that too. Marines force-march 3 minute miles.
edit - CORRECTION. christ, what am i thinking. Marines force-march 3 miles per hour, which is about 17-minute miles, with the break.
Yay, I have unfortunate personal experience with this one too, it’s about 3-4 miles per hour but you’re also carrying shitloads of gear, 60-100 pounds per person. This is like regular joe marine though. Standards at more elite schools like SFAS or BRC are more around avg of 4mph, at least which requires some jogging easy parts.

obviously there's way more here then OP lets on. But don't most divorces come with those weird morality clauses about overnight visitors?
OP's unintentionally painted an unflattering portrait of herself already. Even without reading into the post at all, you can see she views Cinderella as a romantic rival and is jealous of her so is doing all this lovely stuff to exert dominance and show off how she's broken the dad and turned him against her. If you're talking about what's not in the post, I'd assume that op is a homewrecker and broke up the parents' marriage, which is probably why the daughter dislikes her.

Are 'closet beds' a thing in Reddit land? What the Hell.
My (33F) boyfriend (40M) and I constantly fight about money and his alcohol use.
quote:
This is my first time posting here and I could really use some advice, as it's a complicated situation.
We've been dating for a little under two years, lived together for a year.
When we met he lived in his friend's walk-in closet, just a mattress on the floor and his laptop on the shelf, that was his bedroom. I lived an hour away in a different city, renting from my parents and struggling financially because I can't work (mental health issues).
It served both our best interests to move in together, and last February we rented an apartment in my name. We did this so his income wouldn't affect the benefits I get.
He makes 3000€ per month, but roughly half of it goes to various debts as well as the child support he pays for his three kids. I get roughly 900-1000€ per month, with the rent being 900. Sometimes I get a little extra money from doing commissions. I usually pay the rent from my own money, because in order to keep getting my benefits I need to be able to prove where the money goes.
He pays for the groceries when I run out if money or don't have any left after rent, and if I want something I ask him for money. I hate doing it and rarely do so.
Now one of the problems we have is his drinking problem, which he has been working on and getting better at managing during our relationship. He is addicted to beer, and outside of work always has a can in hand. We've estimated that he spends 300-400€ a month on beer and cigarettes, which is a lot from his "remaining" 1500~.
He is stuck in a loop of lending money from his friends, his best friend in particular, and our typical month goes something like this:
He gets paid on the 25th and before anything else, the money for his child support and debt recovery procedure (? English isn't my first language..) gets deducted leaving him with 1500. He then pays whatever he owes his friends, as well as running bills.
This sometimes leaves us with as little as 200€. Then, on the 1st of the following month I pay the rent, unless we're seriously broke in which case I pay it partially.
He eventually has to ask for more money from his friends for us to afford food and running expenses, but it's not always enough to still fully pay rent.
This obviously isn't sustainable and is very stressful, and we fight about money a lot.
Currently I owe 400 in unpaid rent.
We've been looking to get a cheaper apartment but what limits us is his desire to live close to his children who regularly visit us. The move in itself is stressful and we would still need the money for a deposit (usually two months rent) so I've been hesitant.
I'm just sick of fighting about money, sick of his drinking and not having any money of my own to spend.
We're both pretty bad at managing money, but I usually don't have money to even manage. I wish he wasn't stuck in a cycle of lending and paying back so we could at least be able to plan and budget.
He often gets mad at me for not working, but when he's calm says he understands and doesn't hold it against me. Yet every time we fight about money he uses it, and how he pays for my things, as a weapon. I know this is just due to stress, because we've had several long, calm conversations about how he really feels and have done couples therapy as well.
How do we fix things?
Tldr; We fight about money and how it's spent, part of the stress coming from his alcoholism and how much it costs. Current situation not sustainable, how do we move forward?

Ex gf slept with my dad
quote:Sorry for any mistakes, I'm on mobile and ESL. Throway for obvious reasons
I'm just gonna head right into it. My (22M) now ex gf (23F) slept with my dad before I officially met her. Not gonna divulge where we all know each other from, but the two of us and my dad (54M) used to see each other on a daily basis. First I'm gonna explain the relationship between me and my ex.
She's not someone I would usually date, simply put, she's not physically my type, I'm not saying she's unattractive, just not someone I would usually go for. The thing is that she came on to me hard, and initially I didn't pay much attention but eventually started talking to her more and more and realized that we have a lot of common interests and just have a generally great time together so I started to develop feelings for her. We started dating in secret (the reason was unknown to me at the time but she asked me to keep it secret from everyone) and I complied. We were honestly amazing together and turned into what was, by far, the best relationship I had until then (or so I thought). One night after about of month of this relationship she decided to tell me about her "first love" and told me that he took her virginity, that he taught her the right way to do certain things and that they even had anal sex (now before you ask why I wanted to know this stuff, I didn't, she just proceeded to tell me everything without me asking her to)
Fast forward a whole year and she moves to a different country, she has to return after a certain amount of time for some specific reasons so I'm like "this relationship is great, so we can try to do it long distance". Two weeks after she moves she gets really depressed one night and confessed that her first lover was actually my dad, but that he cut her off after a while because he didn't want to "hurt my mom". In the fight that ensues with him he tells me that she never got over him, and was constantly begging him to be with her, taking it was far as saying that she will kill herself if he doesn't (he showed me proof).
The sickest part of all of this is that she almost convinced my dad to have a baby with her, and when she didn't get her way she played the long game and had the nerve to face my mom every single day and treat her like her own mother (she spent most days at my house and the last few months slept more with me than in her house)
I narrowed her reasons down to one of two things: she either wanted me because I was the "next best thing" or she wanted to play both sides with the goal of breaking up my parents so she can have him. Either way, it turns out that she was just using me to satisfy her twisted fantasy all along. And yes, I realize that my dad is also a complete rear end in a top hat and have lost all respect towards him.
The dilemma I have is wether I should tell my mother or not, if I do she will be completely crushed, and could be in trouble because she depends on him financially. But on the other hand he's an rear end in a top hat and I think that she deserves better.
TL;DR my ex slept with my dad, she never got over him so she went for me instead
Have a different, unrelated post of a woman pulling a daily double.

He's already a Republican. Even if he weren't, this isn't op's responsibility. Don't blame victims. Don't insist the Brock Turners of the world are too sad to eat steak so have been punished enough.
I'm not victim blaming in the slightest. I'm just saying that informing this kid's parents is disproportional to what he actually did. Brock Turner is a rapist, this kid isn't. I hate that I should reiterate that I think what he did was bad and wrong, but punishment should be proportional. I think it would be better to sit him down and, in so far as he hasn't already, make him understand why what he did was wrong to make sure he just didn't feel bad because he was caught.

I genuinely don't think you understand what victim blaming is. I think the op's age relative to her harasser's is functioning as a smokescreen here for you. If they'd been the same age, would you still think it's the victim's responsibility to do emotional labor for her harasser to pointlessly try to make him less of a scumfuck? Do you think she would be obligated to protect her harasser's reputation by keeping his secret lest he experience consequences for his actions instead of immediately telling everyone he knows to punish him and hopefully curtail his opportunity to do it to other women again in the future? Your posting thus far hasn't given me any reason to think it would, so I'd like to extend you the benefit of the doubt. I sincerely hope not. If your answer is still somehow yes, why do you think it's op's responsibility to parent someone else's child who is busy jacking off to her underwear? The little poo poo clearly doesn't feel bad, and even if he did, that doesn't matter because he's not the victim here, op is.

Walking that fast has more to do with stride length than fitness / cardio ability. I feel like a doofus defining this, but "walking" means moving forward while at least one foot is in constant contact with the ground. I'm 6'2", I stop being able to comfortably walk at around ~4mph. Moving beyond that speed means I need to pick both feet off the ground in a jog to continue comfortably, and 9 minute miles means you're over 6mph at that point. If someone wanted to be a dick about it, sure, I could probably do speedwalking at 5mph but I can't even imagine how hard I would have to train expressly to walk at that speed, and I bet it would be miserable the entire time I'm doing it.
agreed. 4 mph on the treadmill- for me, at least, at 6 foot- is definitely not a walking speed

It was a shame how he carried on
|
Nah. Old enough to feel like poo poo about having been caught committing a non-consensual sex act = old enough to understand consent. Send him away and let him really get to grips with how bad he chose to gently caress his life up.
Is this really in response to a kid jacking off to some lingerie?
loving goons.

You know, maybe I'm the one who's crazy. Maybe talking about how fast we can walk is actually fun and I'm missing something. Can someone explain the appeal?
My fiancée wants me to sleep with his brother
quote:
Created this account just to talk about this. My fiancée and I have been together since we were 16. Started sleeping together at 17. Moved in at 22, engaged at 24. We are now both 25, wedding is on hold as the world is on hold but we’re still making plans for it and talk about it nearly every day.
He is extremely close to his brother. They are just eighteen months apart and very protective of each other. Due to the economy and whatnot, his brother lost his job. He lost his girlfriend too - in a bitch move she dumped him when he lost his income - and he’s been in a deep depression for weeks now.
My fiancée approached me to sleep with his brother. To improve his spirits, help him out of his dark place. I’m still surprised by the request in all honesty. But come to find out his brother has always been attracted to me. I had no idea, his brother has always been very respectful and sweet to me. He didn’t even look at my boobs when I wore a bikini on the beach. I had NO idea!
From my standpoint, I like the idea of trying another man. I’ve only been with my fiancée, and he’s amazing in bed. But I’d like to be with someone else, at least one time, just to see what it’s like. I wasn’t going to ask for it or look for it because I’m thrilled with what I have but now an opportunity has been presented. However it’s his brother and that may not be an ideal opportunity.
I would love some feedback on this , negative or positive
EDIT - thank you everyone for your replies. Your responses have been an overwhelming NO for a variety of reasons but I have heard you loud and clear
THANK YOU for your feed back and wisdom to one and all. It is much appreciated !!!!

Who doesn't like Math? Don't you like Math?
I know better than to say "I don't like STEM" in a place like this. You won't trick me today.
I think my future mother in law is cheating at words with friends and don’t know whether to call it out or not.
quote:I [27M] think my future mother in law [F59] is cheating at words with friends but won’t admit it.
My long-time girlfriend’s mom beats everyone in Words with Friends (the app), so they don’t want to play with her. She wanted someone to play with and so I figured, why not? Immediately she starts using words I’d never heard of for 50+ points every time. Now granted, I’m no vocabulary wiz but when Zoaea, Radix, Otoise, and Moquette are all played right away, I immediately suspect cheating.
So the word leaks out through my girlfriend that I suspect she is getting help from somewhere, I get a long explanation from her saying she would never do that and that she has too much pride in this being an intellectual game to taint it by cheating. This convinced me and I shamed myself for doubting....until the onslaught gets even worse. Eventually every other word is something foreign I’ve never heard of. Tired of it but keeping it to myself, I download the app that scans the screenshot and gives you the best possible combination (I know, kind of an rear end in a top hat move, but I needed to know). I even paid for it. After 7 rounds of playing the best possible word every time, she is still beating me (barely this time).
After all this, I can’t help but want to call her out and keep pushing my questioning but I’m afraid maybe this will cause a bigger issue than it’s worth. Should I just let it go?
TL DR: I can’t beat my mother in law in scrabble using a cheating app. Is calling her cheating out worth it?
Maybe we'll stick to low-stakes ones for a bit. I like the really pointless posts.
