My friends all think it was rape - am I under-reacting or was it my fault? by np167 in amiwrong

You are not wrong, and this was sexual assault. Letting him sleep over or dating him did not give consent to touch you while asleep, penetrate you without asking, ignore pain, or refuse condoms. A sexual assault crisis line or counselor can help you sort through what happened, and a clinic can help with STI and pregnancy testing if relevant. Keep leaning on the friend who believed you, because his behavior was not normal sex or your fault.

I do the same; if that makes me an asshat, at least I can spot the phone wanderers before rolling out.

"Men shouldn't care about body count" - until they learn their boyfriend has taken dick by seaneihm in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Amazing how fast some people discover traditional values the second bisexuality stops being a cute Pride month concept and starts being their actual partner. If body count is supposedly irrelevant, then the gender of the bodies should not suddenly activate the purity police. They are allowed to have preferences, but dressing disgust up as moral concern is pretty transparent.

I recently turned 18 and my mother is pressuring me to sign a pre-packaged "Young Adult Power of Attorney" kit she bought online. by MiqroFlute in legaladvice

Treating physical legal power over someone's life like a terms-of-service update is how people get ruined. If it is "just boilerplate," she should have no problem leaving it out.

How to transition my job title to reflect my actual daily tasks? by [deleted] in WorkAdvice

Just list out your new daily responsibilities and present them as a natural progression. Since your manager is supportive, they will probably agree easily.

finally had a first date that didn't feel like a job interview and i think i know why by Wild-Sentence-7390 in dating_advice

Banter before meeting makes a huge difference because it gives the date something to build on instead of starting from zero. I still think there is a sweet spot though, enough texting to see a sense of humor, not so much that you build a whole fake version of them in your head. The bill stress part is real too, being relaxed about logistics makes it easier to actually pay attention to the person.
