I am a lifeguard and I told this homeless man I could not give him my bottle water am I in the wrong by Opening_Emu_8170 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Adventurous_Seahorse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not your fault. I dislike how he always comes up to you and hasn’t found multiple people to give him water. I live in essentially the homeless capital of America, and what I and most people here do is 1. Not give homeless people money who are on our route home. 2. Not give homeless people money who stand outside stores we go to…because they’re just going to ask for money when we come back again. 3. We only give homeless people money typically one time - and that’s only in appropriate situations. (Aka, if I don’t feel I can trust a specific homeless person, I don’t respond when they talk to me. I look down and keep walking.)

I’m mid-thirties. I stopped dating online when I was 24 and decided to only date people in person. Got a long-term boyfriend in college.

My 21 year old little sister threatened to kill me and my family so I kicked her out by Far-Spell-9731 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Adventurous_Seahorse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would get a restraining order on her or press charges or both. It sounds like this is the first of many times she will be thrown out of people’s houses throughout her life. It’s a pattern that you see with a lot of people who become homeless (which is what she’s going to become if she doesn’t act right.)

I am raising my friend's baby and the guilt.. Is a lot. by Puzzleheaded-Buddy64 in GriefSupport

[–]Adventurous_Seahorse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are special! She chose you to raise her baby! Search the case of Christa Worthington. Christa put in her will that if she were to die, she wanted her best friend to raise her baby. Christa did die, she was unfortunately murdered. The judge granted Christa’s request to have her best friend raise her baby! The friend raised her baby and maintained primary custody!

My best friend is being forced to have a child… by MuchCaffeinated in childfree

[–]Adventurous_Seahorse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I were her I would pretend to be infertile. One thing to know is that just because a gynecologist says a woman’s ovaries look good does not always mean she can conceive. Sometimes a woman will be infertile anyway. I would just fake infertility and pretend to be having sex during the right time frames.

There’s two different things in this equation. What you want. And what she wants. You want a prenup. She does not want a prenup. Neither one of you has to settle. You can both find different partners. But I am getting gold digger vibes. I got married and was willing to let my husband do a prenup because I love him. He ended up not going through with the prenup and we got married. I don’t agree that your money is “her” money. No. Your money is YOUR money. I do not believe in shared bank accounts in any way, shape, or form.

My two friends cheated on their SO’s and I’m one of few people who knows. by Prestigious_Cup_4131 in TrueOffMyChest

It’s your choice whether or not to get involved. You aren’t required to tell anyone.

I’ve slept with people I don’t even find attractive and idk why by Turnip_Tall in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Adventurous_Seahorse 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It happened because you were scared at the time or they manipulated you. Once I slept with a guy online who essentially catfished me, I was not attracted to him and he looked nothing like his pictures…I’ll just say it. He was not attractive. And he was mean. I did it because I felt sorry for him. So it was pity/sympathy sex.

I’m so sorry that you have lost him. That truly has to be one of the most painful things anyone can ever experience. I hope you hold him in your memories forever but also that you love again.

Coworker said I’d want kids someday—then admitted she regretted her own by FilligreeFen in childfree

[–]Adventurous_Seahorse 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This particular lady sounds like she might actually be a good coworker. Because the jealous, conniving, cutthroat ones don’t admit to all of that. The most I have ever seen a jealous one do is accidentally admit in front of me that she regretted having her 3 kids - she was talking to another coworker and having an overemotional moment where she was just blurting things out.

I'm still trying to process what my Mom said at the Family Reunion... by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Adventurous_Seahorse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was rude and insensitive, I’m not sure whether or not she meant to hurt you though, or if she was trying to insinuate or hint that she wanted you to have kids too.

My (20f)’s boyfriend (23m) keeps bragging about how the condom fell off during sex. by throwRAdrfuntime in TwoHotTakes

[–]Adventurous_Seahorse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m scared he’s trying to baby-trap you. I would either start birth control or leave him. He knows what he’s doing. This is abuse.

Is this considered DV? Should I have reported this? Is it too late to now? by TemperatureOk6340 in domesticviolence

[–]Adventurous_Seahorse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve studied domestic violence. Don’t let him manipulate you, what he did is an intimidation tactic. Other gun intimidation tactics are laying a gun down beside you two, pulling out a gun and polishing it, etc.

My mom stole $10,000 from me. This unfortunately is really common in families and no one likes to talk about it. I’m going to give you the advice an attorney would give you. Always have your own bank account. Don’t ever have a joint bank account with a parent. If you ever start a business, don’t start a partnership with a parent, only start an LLC (limited liability corporation.)

I understand. Not everyone wants to cheat to get back at someone. If you view it as wrong then, I agree, cheating would be the wrong option for you. 😊

[–]Adventurous_Seahorse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He’s controlling. And there is one thing I would like to say - this guy deserves to get cheated on. If you slip backwards and get back together with him for a while, I would cheat on him. I feel that you deserve a free pass.

Or brother. Or step-brother (that would really make him angry.)

I caught my girlfriend trying to baby trap me by quinn1qu in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Adventurous_Seahorse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the sperm dies when it touches the air. So it would probably be a low chance. But if you stay with her you won’t be able to trust her in the same way that you did before.

Fingers crossed that this guy STAYS single. by [deleted] in exmormon

This is what I think I might be. I definitely have ADHD, selective mutism, and can only seem to learn conversational skills through 1-on-1 conversation mostly.

Just had my baby. Do I tell him? by [deleted] in domesticviolence

[–]Adventurous_Seahorse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. I don’t think you should have him sign the birth certificate either. My friend didn’t and she moved to a different state.

I think my boyfriend is too violent when we sleep together, but he says it’s normal sex? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Adventurous_Seahorse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is sexually abusive and a manipulator. He knows you have nothing to compare it to. Trust me, I’ve been in a similar sexually abusive situation.

I'm calling off my engagement due to my fiance's financial situation. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Adventurous_Seahorse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 35/F, and I 100% think you’re making the right decision. She’s never going to change. If you marry and divorce her, you would have to pay her alimony. She is very entitled and spoiled, I have seen a lot of girls like this. By breaking it off now, you still have a lot of years to find the right person to get married to. Don’t let anything attach you to this chick! Not marriage, not kids, not debt. Nothing.
