I seriously wonder what the dudes in those religions are taught. Nothing at all, I am sure, about being a ripped up piece of garbage paper the more people you kiss. Nothing at all about purity. Maybe encouragement to wait until marriage, and then game loving on?

My buddy and his girlfriend got caught joking around about condoms at youth group (someone ratted them out to the youth pastor) and he got a stern serious lecture about how the Lord wants us to wait and the sanctity of marriage and his gf was surrounded by 4 women (2 of whose 16-18yo daughters had already made them grandmas) absolutely screaming at her about degrading herself in the eyes of the church and how nobody would respect her or see her as anything but a dirty whore if she ever had sex even once.

Fortunately they were 18 or so and they just stopped going to youth group and had safe sex and got married a few years later and lived happily ever after.

It's not like she saw the mom at the church pot luck the next weekend and just couldn't stop staring until mom asked her what was up either, just straight up texted her from the receptionist desk at the office with the file in her hand.

Gabe (37) and I hit it off immediately, tbh, the connection I’ve experienced in this relationship is the reason I haven’t left him yet. ... I was drawn to Gabe since we laughed a lot, confided in each other and treated each other with consideration.

I now live closer to him, after one year of relationship.

A tale as old as time: distant partner is fun, amazing, makes you feel great then it turns out it's a bullshit house of cards that falls apart almost immediately once you live nearby.

For sure, just thought it was a good example of how older generations view relationships/marriage as some grim, joyless death march and pass those attitudes onto their kids.

I worked with three guys once that basically had a running "who hates their wife the most" competition and it was so pathetic. The worst guy went to the pub every single night directly from work and then went home at 11, when his wife would pretend to sleep. He also had "girlfriends" in Cuba and Russia that he sent money to regularly. There was a new guy in the team who was engaged and they just constantly filled his head with all kinds of poo poo husbands deserve from their wives and the whole thing was so depressing that I left after about two months.

Of course, this was in Ireland in 2006 so divorce had only been legal for a little more than 10 years at that point, which explains a little.

Yeah if there's a person who knows the biggest secret about you, a secret that would absolutely ruin your life if people found out, maybe don't gently caress them over and tell a bunch of lies leading to intense emotional confrontations when they're at their most vulnerable?

Ghost Leviathan posted:

Similar to and often comorbid with 'everyone must follow my script' narcissist brain, there's also the idea that every single encounter is a contest that must be 'won', that there's always a winner and loser and you can't ever be the loser. This is where gifts become acts of aggression, because everything is an act of aggression, and apologies are constantly demanded and never given as displays of contrition and weakness.

All contest must be won on the day too! None of this I'll get you something really special next time that will make it up to you crap for these modern day supermen.

Uh, I know I was grateful when my parents told me that the poor relationship situation was being addressed and that they were ending things and moving to separate housing because there was tension and suffering in the house when things were falling apart.

These people should be honest with the kids now and approach the situation together with a goal of raising nontraumatized adult humans who can have good partnerships in the future. Deceiving them churn out one last batch of "happy" Christmas postcards is bullshit.

Tell the truth to children? No, that would be traumatic for them!

Yeah that raised my eyebrow as well, I know Americans live in an insane capitalist dystopia where you can be fired from any job for any reason at any time (unless you're super rich), but surely he'd have some time off booked around the due date? You would think, anyway. Assuming he actually cared about his wife and child.

My sister manages a pharmacy in a smallish town with a regular crew. Her schedule is done remotely by some central person and I can't tell any difference between them and the cokehead fuckwit who did my schedule at McDonald's when I was 15. Totally inconsistent bullshit done at the last minute for two-week intervals plus forgetting/denying holidays and making her find cover on her own every goddamn time. She's in her 40s and has a PhD and still has to deal with this poo poo.

So I can definitely see somebody getting schedule hosed on the birth of their child, but this guy was probably just cheating in the next town over.

Did I miss the reveal that the woman's current boyfriend is her step sister's ex? I assumed that based on the context but I felt like she could have made a little effort to explain when and how they met and/or why he and step sis broke up. That's what I would do if I didn't want people asking why it's ok for her to do it but not her step sis. Also, how small is their loving town that everybody ends up dating each other?

It's not the sister's ex, but a person they've known their whole lives that the sister has held a candle for her whole life

OP didn't start dating the guy until her sister was well into her relationship with her own ex, presumably because you'd think at that point they're over it, if they're with someone else

You don't really get to have your cake and eat it too....you can't marry one guy but be upset when the other doesn't stay single. And she absolutely has no room to be upset at OP dating someone she had a crush on but never even dated, given that she's marrying OP's ex.

thank you (all) for the explanation

Yes, this is why the Irish goodbye exists. There are many people who will just not accept that you won't have 'just one more drink' or that you actually have somewhere else to be (especially if it's just home or bed). When there's more than one of these people at the party you're trying to escape from, oftentimes the easiest solution is to just leave out the back door or through a window or something like that.
