My (30m) Best Friend (30M) just had a wedding, our other friend (30m) didn't attend because of me
quote:TL:DR; Best Friend got married, Other friend refused to come and instead streamed him gaming and talked poo poo about not being invited on stream. Took extra effort to blame me for his lack of invite.
The title is a bit confusing. But Basically I'm just after some advice here and I'll try clean it up.
So This story starts back in about 2004, Me and 5 friends were all in an IT Class together. We were a bit all over the place on our high school social standings, I'm regretful admit I was the "Emo" kid back then (Ew. God please why did I have that phase). We all used to hang out after school, weekends and basically all our free time was spent together. We had LAN party's regularly, where we mostly played either shooters like BF1942 or strategy games like Warcraft 3. I was the openly gay kid and an emo kid but they all made me feel welcome and they were and are my best friends.
Two of them though were like my (30m) brothers, We'll call them Mr. Pink (30m) and Mr. Blue (30m). So we always got along, we all had great years together and even some of the dumbest jokes between us and that was great. So we're all in our 30's now. Mr. Pink is getting married in 2019, He sent out invites in 2018. Fantastic for him, I'll be there. He invited me and Mr. Blue out for drinks to tell us, and asks us both to be his best man, or best men if you will. I basically cry (I'm an emotional wreck at the best of times). Mr. Blue however straight away says "Sorry, I'll be busy that day". At this point, Mr. Pink hasn't even given us the date. So he basically from the get-go didn't want to go.
Mr. Blue was adamant that he wouldn't be able to attend the wedding, so Mr. Pink starts bending over backwards to find a day he'd be able to make it. Mr. Pink is heartbroken, soon after, Mr. Pink up and leaves. Mr. Blue and I sat there for a while and I talked to him and he basically said "I don't want to be the 'other' best man". He saw it as an insult that both of us would be there to support our best friend. I talked to him for a while and get to the bottom of it, and he basically tells me he's depressed and just doesn't want to be a burden on anyone.
I tell him I'll talk to Mr. Pink and explain how he felt, I'd step back if that's what he wanted. With out any hesitation he said "Yes, that'd probably be the only way I'll go". I was a little offended to say the least, I didn't realize it, but he had been treating me differently for the last couple of years and we weren't as close as we used to be, but I'd put that down to us being in different states and different places in our life.
I work in a Casino host role, basically schmoozing high-rollers and finding new clientele. Mr. Pink studied hard was/is working in an IT field I couldn't even begin to try explain, I don't really understand what he does. Mr. Blue on the other hand is a single father who has jumped around jobs, never keeping a position for more then a year. He's a single father, divorced. For the last few years, he's been a "Streaming" personality. When he first started out with it he was quite small so we'd regularly use his Twitch channel as a way to keep tabs on him and see how he's doing. After about 6 months he developed a bit of a toxic personality, I think it was mostly from talking like the people who watched him. (Mostly young men I'd assume). He'd say F*ggot a lot, which was kind of uncool. But gamers talk like that I guess, less these days thank god, but it was still super uncomfortable when he'd casually call someone something homophobic and then say it was fine because he has a "Gay friend". I never gave him the pass FYI, yes we have that power apparently.
Sorry, I got a bit ranty there. So Mr. Blue decided he wasn't going to the wedding, but had said he'd go if I stepped back. I called Mr. Pink and explained I needed to step back as Co-Best man, but I'd help pay for the wedding and more then happy to be one of the Groomsmen. He basically told me no, and to "gently caress off" he said I wasn't getting out of it that easy. That made me feel a little better. In the end I spilled to Mr. Pink what Mr. Blue had said. This pissed him off something fierce, even though I'm a couple months older, Mr. Pink was always like the Big Brother. He called Mr. Blue and told him to pull his head out of his rear end. He then listed off a giant laundry list of everything that had been bothering him, everything from being a father but not having a job. Being a "Successful" streamer, but never having money to do anything.
I wasn't there for the call, but Mrs. Pink (Mr. Pink's now wife) informed me it was truly brutal. The day of the wedding comes up, and Mr. Blue decides to stream. I'm still set to notifications from him, because I still considered us friends. I watched for all of about 10 minutes, I was horrified, he knew I was watching and he basically calling me every name you can imagine. The best frame of reference for the words he used is the Rick and Morty quote for the word Glipglop. That's the kind of stuff he was saying. He was also drunk. He accused me of being a gay pride fanatic. I may be a bit turned up at work, but I'm definitely the furthest thing from camp, and I've never even attended a parade. (More support to the events, I just don't do them because I don't want to. They seem so elaborate and loud. They seem like events for people who had to live in the closet longer then I did, I've never had to not express myself luckily so I don't have anything built up, But I 100% support my fellow raging queens).
So he'd basically called me out by name on stream, I haven't received any hate for it luckily, but he essentially doxed me online. I've never seen a VOD or recording of it, so I'd say I'm fairly safe at the moment in terms of that. But here's where the complication comes in.
His mother called me a couple days ago, and informed me he was in hospital after an attempt on his life. Apparently he's been depressed for years. I didn't know. I never saw the signs. She wanted me to come down and visit. I told her what had happened between all of us, she broke down in tears. So here's where I need advice.
What the f*ck do I do? Should I go visit Mr. Blue? His mother is so lovely and is basically family to me (She didn't even know Mr. Pink got married). I have so many questions but at the same time, I've never been attacked with such vitriol in my life. I've never really been on the end of a real homophobic hate rant until Mr. Blue, and he was a brother to me. He was my Anakin, I was his Obi-Wan. How do I forgive him? Should I tell Mr. Pink. From my understand, Mr. Blue's mother doesn't have his phone number. Anyways, Literally any insight on his would be really appreciated.
Sorry if this was super ranty, I'm just so bleh right now.

AITA for refusing to pay $1300 on a wig for my cousin's wedding after a slight mishap with hair extensions?
That is 100% bs as i watched tutorials before I did her hair, as the wedding is in just a few week's Milly won't be able to grow her hair, so she and her fiancee have asked that I pay for a good quality wig for the wedding day and general use.
"I watched half of a youtube tutorial and they used glue so it's 100% not my fault that the bride's hair extensions exploded."

Technically it's conditioning her behavior, not her but that's a minor issue.
He's presenting the NS after both the US and the UR. Backwards conditioning basically never works, except in exceptionally rare cases with a powerful aversive. The correct method would be to provide chocolate first, then get her horned up.
What I'm saying is he's either imagining it's success or traumatically bad at sex.
It also suggests that she never eats chocolate outside of when he gives it to her, because if she eats chocolate regularly she wouldn't be building a strong enough association between chocolate and sex.

Found husband’s boxers in guest bed
I think the really boring solution to this mystery is that his boxers ended up in the laundry with the sheets and nobody noticed when they were making the bed.

My (22f) boyfriend (24m) just got a circumcision after an argument. How do I respond to this?
quote:Before anyone asks, no this isn't a shitpost, it's all very very real and I'm beyond confused. Throwaway for obvious reasons.
We've been together just over 18 months, though the first few months we were FWB. He's an atheist. He's met my family more than once but only met my full extended family last month at my cousin's wedding. It was a traditional Jewish ceremony, with the canopy and the glass and the hora and all that stuff, because my family is Jewish. Some of us are very religious, but my immediate branch of the family (me, mum, dad, brother, sister) isn't. We observe the main holidays and go to synagogue sometimes but we're not super devout like some sections of my family are. This cousin was from the more devout section of the family.
Because he'd never met several relatives before, and I'm kind of the baby of the family (youngest in the entire family despite being 22) he basically got interrogated. I did ask them to go easy on him, but it only seemed to spur them on. On the drive home, completely unprompted, he made a "joke" about now knowing where I got my (very typically Jewish) nose from. I immediately got defensive, and this quickly escalated into an argument where he basically said he felt several aspects of my faith were absurd and strange because he didn't understand them, and my response was that he was free to ask all the questions he wanted, but he'd never tried to ask any before now. I said it's not like I want him to convert, but I need him to respect it, even if he doesn't fully understand it, the way I respect his atheism. I've never asked him to come with me to synagogue or participate in festivals or speak Yiddish, the closest I've come to asking him to be involved with my faith is coming to the wedding with me and when I make latkes.
So we had this argument, I thought it was resolved after my final statement about me asking for respect for it but participation not being necessary, however he's gone and got himself circumcised. He was at his place the last couple of nights, apparently recovering from minor surgery, and I didn't even know what he'd done until I tried to initiate sex tonight and he told me he physically couldn't because he'd had a circumcision. My response was something along the lines of "what the gently caress!?" He said that he wanted to show me he could understand and keep an open mind about my faith, but he's not converted because he still doesn't believe in it, and the religious aspect of circumcision wasn't done for that reason, so he's essentially just had his foreskin removed to prove a point. I just said "what the gently caress" again and he said he had to get up early in the morning and went to his place.
I have absolutely no idea whatsoever as to how to even begin to respond to this. I can't tell if I should be flattered or concerned that he removed part of his genitals for me, because like sure there are health benefits but he's done this with the religion in mind despite not being religious. I just have no clue how he got from "please respect my religion" to "get circumcised". Has anyone got any idea what I should say/do going forward?
TL;DR: I asked my boyfriend to respect (but not follow) my Jewish faith and he got a circumcision. I have no idea how to respond. Thoughts?

AITA for still holding it against my dad for not taking me on a vacation when I was 13?
Poor kid got stiffed on going to Legoland and I don't think dad can make up for it. He needs therapy to figure out what kind of relationship he even wants with his dad, if he wants one.

this guy is obviously a giant piece of poo poo, i'm just posting it for the quotes:
(30m)(27f) My boyfriend kept going on about how much he enjoyed his exes during an argument with me about sex.
I like that this guy is constantly begging for her to suck his dick and then insults her by saying that she sucks dick. What is his endgame?

A year ago, I [27F] broke up with my lying boyfriend [27M]. Today, I found out that everyone else was lying and he was being truthful.
Honestly it sounds like the best possible outcome for her. She got rid of a guy that sounds like he was physically abusive, and got rid of a cabal of manipulative sociopaths to boot.

This kind of reminds me a bit of the guys in japan who marry some anime character then go and make posts at people who post/draw lewds describing how they're married now and to please stop posting lewds of their wife. The concept of mermaids or w/e doesn't exclusively belong to this lady; but there's enough other red flags that maaaaybe you should run for the hills anyway.
You mean like the creator of Final Fantasy?

AITA for not wanting my fiance to get a co worker as a stripper for her bachelorette party?
quote:So I should start off by saying that I completely understand that my fiancee's bachelorette party has nothing to do with me, I shouldn't have any say in it, And I really shouldn't know anything about what goes on.
Her bachelorette party is in a week and her sister has been planning it. I heard them mention things before about the party and shes really excited. But yesterday Her and her sister were talking while I was in the front Room and I overheard them talking About how her sister is hiring one of my fiancee's coworkers to be the stripper. I've been at a couple of events where hes been and After she's had a few Drinks she gets really Flirtatious with this guy in front of me. Other people Have even mentioned it including her sister. She will start to play fight with him, And stand outside with him for hours while he smokes even though she doesn't. I brought it up to her and she told me that she's not flirting she's just being friendly because he is the easiest one there to talk to.
It bothers me because there is a certain professionalism with professional strippers, they come in they do their job they pack up and then they go to the next one, and you dont see them again. But if she gets a coworker as for stripper she's going to have to see him every day at work, I am going to have to see him At barbecues because they have mutual work friends. I know that I have a lot of insecurities but it would really make me feel uncomfortable If I had to go to a barbecue with this guy that was dancing on my wife naked and who knows what a month ago. It would really just embarrass me.
I brought it up to my girlfriend And I said to her Why wouldnt you want professional hunk strippers That know what they're doing rather than some coworker. She said that her sister wanted him and shes planning the party And hes a kid (22). My wife is 25. I told her that it would make me uncomfortable to be around him, And get she's gonna have to see this guy at work from now on after this. She told me it's just fun and I have nothing to worry about. AITA for being upset.
Bolding mine. She's setting up for a night that "just went too far" imo.

I told my brother I haven’t forgiven him yet.
quote:I’m 16F, brother is 18F. Two weeks ago he was texting in the car and crashed. In the accident I broke my neck, luckily I’m doing alright but will require a lot of therapy to get back on my feet. Honestly I’m pissed at my brother, really pissed. He’s been trying to call me everyday, my parents have told me he’s incredibly sorry. Today I sent him a text. It was pretty long, but the gist of it is that I’m angry right now but he’s my brother and I still love him. (Family love, nothing gross. Ew.) that being said, I mentioned that I still haven’t forgiven him. Honestly I’m not sure when I will forgive him. It was his recklessness that nearly killed me.
Anyways, here’s the kicker. My parents are pissed, saying I need to put it all behind me already so I can move on and start healing. They say my brother was incredibly hurt by my message- I told them I was incredibly hurt by his driving. Now I’m not really sure what to do. I know I’ll need to forgive him eventually, but I don’t really want to rush it. How should I deal with my parents? Should I just say I forgive my brother and be done, even if I don’t really feel that way?
Bolding mine. Kind of sad but drat, the parents walked right into that burn.

I'm(24f) a firm Christian and I fell for a firm Satanist(25/26m).
quote:Tl;dr: I'm a firm believer in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit(not the pushy kind, I have no issue someone having different religion but Satanist is like the most extreme opposite of my faith), he is a proclaimed satanist and I REALLY like him. Should I stay away from this?
I met this guy at the local bike meet up, rode with his crew for a while and before I parted to go home, we made plans for me to ride with his crew the next day. I was really excited because I was struck almost instantly by this man. He is EXACTLY what I want in a man, just about. His energy was amazing, he was so goofy on his bike and at the same time took safety serious and would stop traffic so we can turn safely as a group. He knows when to stop his goofiness. Just like any other guy I have fallen for...he is "broken", not the best childhood, adopted and had a few bad life experiences.
So today, we 3/5 of us crashed our bikes on a ride in the back roads far away from home. (My bike is okay but im bruised up. 2 bikes had to be towed home, his was on of them) but while waiting for one of the guys who didn't crash go home in order to get his truck, we spent a while in the woods getting to know each other. Me and him had a lot of one on one time and he was very interested in interacting with me. I really think he was feeling something between us too. We were slightly flirting back and forth on the low. I loved every second of it. He was such a gentleman. He is so 'manly' and handsome in my opinion. We both share a passion for bikes. He's a navy guy, Italian and has tattoos. I prefer to date people who are different than me in personality but shouldn't there be a line somewhere?
Then while talking to one of the other guys with us, he showed off his baphomet necklace and implied how its his belief system.
Yet I still would go on a date with him if he asked me....is this bad?
While 'stranded' in the woods, I imagined me taking him home and cleaning his scrapes up from the slide, feed him a nice filling dinner and just chat with him and what not. I can't get him out my mind lol, this is funny to me because there seems to always be a 'catch' with guys that interest me but this is a hella of a catch.
EDIT: I dont "know him know him" yet but i just really like what I 'see' so far. We met just the other day really.

My (25F) boyfriend (25M) keeps asking me to invest in his "soup tube" business idea, and I am not sure how to deal with it.
quote:I have been living with my boyfriend for about 7 months. Two weeks ago he sat me down and presented a powerpoint presentation with his business idea. I knew he'd been working on an idea, but he didn't want to tell me about it until it was finished. Based on his enthusiasm and his prior seemingly intelligent nature, I thought maybe it'd be a pretty cool idea.
Instead he presented to me an idea about "soup tubes". The idea, if you can call it that, is to construct a series of tubes throughout our city that leads to centralized soup kitchens. For a monthly subscription, a customer can "subscribe to a tube of soup", and a tube extension would be built off the nearest mainline tube and directly into the customer apartment or home. Based on subscription level, that would determine the quantity of soup a customer could pour and how many types of soup. The "tubes" are basically the size of pipes, like you might see under a sink, but he insisted that "it MUST be called soup tube, not soup pipe, tube just zings better."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. At first I asked if he was crank yanking me or something, but he was completely sincere. Obviously, the idea is completely insane. The notion that the city would authorize somebody to construct a series of tubes everywhere that carry soup into homes is of course ludicrous. And even if such an initiative were approved, the costs for such an operation would be ridiculous. You would have to charge outrageous prices for customers to install and "subscribe" to a soup tube, and who would pay for such a service when canned soup costs like a dollar or two? Or you can buy soup from a restaurant for a few dollars? I explained these things as politely as I could but he dismissed them and all said that "tube based soup delivery is the wave of the future."
He then asked me how much I wanted to invest, and I told him nothing, and he looked absolutely heartbroken. Since then, almost every day he has asked again for me to invest, and keeps trying to sell me on the idea. He is also doing the same thing to a lot of his friends.
It is starting to drive me up the wall. First, I am at a loss as to how he can believe such a stupid idea is worthwhile, second it is really god damned annoying to be asked on a daily basis to invest in a system of soup tubes, and third I am also concerned for his sanity. Other than his apparent obsession with this though he has shown no other signs.
I would like some advice as to how I can reason with him, or whether I should even continue this relationship.
TL:DR - My boyfriend wants me to invest in a business venture wherein tubes would deliver soup.

After months of strict quarantine for my (29f) parents' health, I found out they attended a "illegal underground" bowling alley on Christmas day with near 100 people. What do I do here?
quote: I live in a place where lockdowns are very strict, no gyms, no indoor eating, etc...
My dad is diabetic from being morbidly obese (over 400lbs at his highest, down to about 310) and my mom has severe asthma. To say we've taken covid seriously would be an understatement. My parents and my family (husband, 2 kids) live right next door and we decided early on that it was far more important for my parents to have grandkid time than it was for us to go out. My husband took a demotion at work to work exclusively from home and I accelerated a masters degree program so as to get it done while we were all at home. My parents would watch our kids most days but other than that, we have had zero (and I mean literally zero) outside contact. I know we are going a little stir crazy.
After we did presents yesterday morning I noticed my parent's were very antsy to get out of there. I figured they were just not feeling good and they went home. I waited about 2 hours and went over to check on them and they didn't answer the door. I initially figured they were taking a nap and let them be. About 2 hours later I noticed a strange car in their driveway and my parents were hugging their two best friends (Dennis and Fran). I called my mom and asked what was going on, she said "nothing" and asked if we wanted to come over for pie. I told her I just saw her hugging Dennis and Fran and wanted to know what was going on. She told me to mindmy business and hung up. I was so upset that I went over and told them that I deserved to know whats going on.
Basically what they told me is that Dennis and Fran had convinced them that Covid was a plot to steal the election and they were no longer going to be held back by "my" stupid rules for living. Their other friend own a bowling alley and they had opened it up to about 100 friends and good customers for a christmas day party. I asked them how they could do this to me and my husband, we sacrificed so much so they could be with the kids. My mom then accused me of taking advantage of them to get free child care. I started crying immediately because that isn't what happened, they wanted this so they could continue to see the kids. My mom told me I was being dramatic as always and I needed to grow up. I asked them if they were at least going to get a covid test since they had so much exposure. She said that it was time I went home, did my research and no she would never take a covid test because at worst its a cold. I told her she realized that the kids can't come over now. She said that she is just as involved in my kids lives as we are and they will see them whenever they want. I basically just left because I couldn't even believe what I was hearing.
I mean what do I do here?
I know the bowling alley they are talking about, should I report it?
My kids will be shattered if they can't see their grandparents and my son's 2nd birthday is on Monday and my parents had ordered an incredible amount of baby Yoda stuff for him.
I mean, I am so upset by how much we sacrificed (husband took a 10k a year pay cut, I started a masters program I wasn't ready for) and our lives our different because we wanted to be with my parents. How do I deal with this?
edit: this is my first ever reddit submission (lots of comments on my favorite sub) and no idea people responded in dms this much, but since they are all the same question...masks were not required, my mom said "some people" wore them.
Edit2: I called our county health department Covid hotline and the lady told Me they get hundreds of reports like the bowling alley every day and she’ll make a note but it’s very likely that they don’t have the Manpower to even call the bowling alley to see what happened. No wonder the pandemic will kill a million people in this country.

Not if they recolumnize the dilithium matrix with a W8-BEN overtime pass right down into the endzone
AITA: For blowing up at my wife after what she did at my workplace?
This reminds me of a post a while back about a guy who kept having to sneak back into restaurants after they finished to apologize to the wait staff and tip them because his wife would scream at them every time they went out to eat.

My (31f) family is upset with me for getting the Covid vaccine pregnant.
The post is dull, but I admit I did a triple-take at the title.
I think that's just a Chuck Tingle book.
"Handsome Covid Vaccine Impregnated by T-Rex Lawyer, Upsetting T-Rex Family."

It came from r/legal advice
I signed my name with the symbols 圧力 (coercion) in it. Does this make the signature void?
I actually witnessed a situation where a guy wrote "I am under duress" on some probation documents and almost lost a plea deal because of it. Those documents explicitly had sections asking him if he was signing of his own free will and because he was guilty of the offense though.

Not just that:

National Cheesecake Day
National Father-in-Law Day
National Whistleblower Day
National Talk in an Elevator Day – Last Friday in July
National System Administrator Appreciation Day – Last Friday in July
National Get Gnarly Day – Last Friday in July
Does derailing then count as honoring the spirit of "National Get Gnarly Day?"

AITA for not using my inheritance money to help my brother and his family out?
quote:Hello, this is my first time posting on AITA and English is not my first language so sorry if the format is not right.
Background- Me (19F) and my brother (32M) became orphans 10 years ago due to an accident our parents were in. My parents had always been a bit paranoid when it came to their mortality, so they had a set plan in case they passed. They left a significant amount of money for each of us, and our childhood home was meant to be mine. They specified that we would have access to our share of the will when we turn 18. Since my brother was already old enough, he took his money and cut all contact with me.
I had lived with my grandparents ever since, but last year I finally got my share. I decided to move in to the house, and use the money to pay for my studies. I am in first year of medicine and it is very expensive. I have estimated that when I finish medicine in 5 years, I will have a lot of money left to continue with what I want to specialize in, and have some left.
My grandparents know my plan and offered to help with my living expenses so my inheritance becomes exclusive for my studies until I finish. I accepted and we have been like this for a year.
Now to the issue, my brother and his wife have 3 children from ages 9, 7, and 4. My brother spent his inheritance money on a house, his wedding, cars, and expensive stuff that one doesn‘t really need to live. My SIL is a SAHM, so he was the breadwinner.
My brother recently lost his job so now their family is struggling and they need a place to stay. He contacted me and asked for us to meet up. When I arrived, he and his wife were already sat down on the restaurant.
Long story short, they said that since they were going through hard times, they expected me to hand them over my house, and give them a share of my inheritance so they can get back on their feet. I got pissed off since we have barely talked or visited each other since the accident and they were just demanding me to pay for them.
I told them that I wouldn’t because I already have a plan for the money and I was living on the house. They said I can move back with my grandparents and blew off at me for being selfish.
After arguing I decided to leave but now my cousins are saying I’m an inconsiderate AH and I should help family out.
I really need to know if I’m in the wrong so, AITA?

My [31F] boyfriend (who is 50) said it was perfectly normal for men his age to be sexually attracted to 17 year old girls. Should I be concerned?
quote:We were talking about a book he's reading, where the author, a 40-something year old man, goes to Paris and meets a mysterious 17-year old girl. He seems to automatically know that she is his 'twin flame' (a soulmate of sorts). As the story progresses, a powerful deity reveals that they are indeed 'twin flames' and that the girl is actually 300 years old and also a magical deity. I should note this book is not considered fictional by the author, but it's more akin to a religious text which my boyfriend believes is true (it's theosophy, specifically Guy Ballard, the founder of the St. Germain Foundation, if anyone is wondering).
I immediately got a queasy feeling when he got to the point where this old man not only is attracted to, but pursues this young girl. I voiced my opinion, mentioning how in media it's super common for older men to self-insert themselves into a romance with a femme fatale, young woman. And of course the woman is always attracted back to this old dude, which is totally unrealistic (unless there's some sort of manipulation on the man's part).
My bf got defensive, saying she's actually 300 and a demi-god so my argument is stupid (yes, I realize how close this is to those "b-but my anime waifu is actually 3000 years old! She only LOOKS 9" memes. My bf wouldn't know what the reference is so I didn't bring it up). I pointed out that he didn't KNOW that when they met- he just saw a 17 year old and was still convinced she could be his. My bf then, to my surprise, said 17 year olds are fully physically developed, and it was totally natural for men to want to be with them physically. He said I was blinded by stuff like the #MeToo movement and just spouting rhetoric that is based on arbitrary laws, not on actual biology.
I asked if he really thinks a 17 year old would be attracted to a man 25+ years older and said of course because plenty of young girls have daddy issues, but he also kept deflecting and saying this character was 300 years old, which wasn't my point. I got upset because he knows when I was a young girl I was sexually abused by someone older. I think it's an predatory, one-sided power dynamic if the girl is under 18, and even under 25 is cutting it.
Our own age gap is pretty substantial- he is 19 years older than me. But I am a grown woman with plenty of experience and can trust my judgement. However, I'm starting to question his own values and exactly why he is dating me instead of someone his own age. He also has always been exclusively friends with women who are much younger, and claims that age is just an arbitrary marker people use to segregate each other. Worth noting he also has an 11 year old daughter.
TL;DR: My [31] boyfriend [50] claims it's not questionable for men his age to be attracted to, and pursue, 17 year old girls. We had an argument and now I'm questioning if our values don't align and he's creepier than I thought.
EDIT: Ok everyone, I GET IT he's creepy as hell and I should leave. People acting like I've been in denial due to our age gap are only seeing the surface facts though- like I'm the one who made the first move and I tend to like older guys (more stability, more maturity, they're almost always better at sex, etc. Last guy I dated was 26 and so immature I could cry). But that being a separate issue, I will leave first thing. Since we work together I'll watch from afar and warn any young women who get near him. Thanks!
I can't believe there's a literature version of "she's actually 3000 years old so it's okay she looks like a child."
