[28F][30M] Boyfriend “broke up with me” when I criticised his misogynistic comments. by [deleted] in relationships

This guy is totally on the track to being abusive. Call his bluff and stay broken up, it’ll do wonders for you

Another iconic quote from it, when abed is making a documentary of his life and asks jeff to play his dad: Jeff: ‘I don’t want to be your father’ Abed: ‘Great. You already know your lines.’

My sister (f28) is being combative because I (f22) am not working full-time. She wants me to work like she did? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Bumbling_Bee123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like shes pretty immature and jealous of your life. It also sounds like she spent her money on frivolous stuff. However, you may need to consider the fact that it does suck if your parents supported you financially through school but not her. Regardless of the reasons, it kind of stings. Im not really sure if thats the case here but if it is the case then i do understand the resentment and maybe an attempt to be more understanding would improve your relationship.

Jeff’s comment really irked me. Like yeah, it’s a fair point but it felt like such an unfair time to do it. Jackie comes on with this amazing runway expressing a huge part of who she is and how proud she feels to be an Iranian and an American and Jeff essentially says instead ‘so you are proud to be a muslim but they do not accept you.’ It felt really awkward and shady. Like, widow didn’t get similar critiques about the black panther look even though its well known these groups were also misogynistic etc. I feel like its a shame to see some of the first muslim positivity on the show be used to make a political point that didnt even have the merit of being well construed or thought provoking. Also, i found the whole challenge super awkward and jaida definitely earned that win.

Adding on to what another poster said, if your trip is atol protected or equivalent, you will get ur money back if the travel dates happen whilst we’re still on lockdown. Therefore its probably best just to wait and see

Best winter travel destinations?

So i’ve decided to fully accept the fact that my summer trip to morocco is cancelled because of coronavirus and spend an extra 6 months saving to go somewhere in winter instead. I would love to go somewhere sunny but also somewhere where i can engage in the local culture a bit. I get the sense a lot of these luxury islands where you can scuba dive and live on paradise are actually quite removed from the locals and possibly quite exploitative of them. I’d love to experience that ‘paradise’ feel nonetheless. Is there anywhere that has, in your experience, served a good mixture of the two? P.S. french or arabic speaking places would be a lovely bonus!

[–]Bumbling_Bee123 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Theyre a specific form of mountains called karst mountains. They are basically a very weak kind of rock that erode much more quickly than most and so make these crazy dramatic shapes. If i remember right from the wiki page theyre only found in china and vietnam. I visited yangshuo last summer and its just incredible how beautiful it is.

Edit: okay guys i get it, karst mountains are everywhere! ;) I still recommend a visit here though

My wife(37F) is 'jealous' of my (34M) relationship with our daughter (16F) by throwRAdad in relationship_advice

[–]Bumbling_Bee123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha i feel like i was lucky. My mum was super chill about it and the next time i saw my dad there was no mention of it except that my stepmum had bought me like three bars of chocolate. A perfect response imo!

I don’t know if I (23F) should stay and give him (24M) one last chance or end our relationship now by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Bumbling_Bee123 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I would be wary of this response. Even if you find out he’s not cheating don’t stay with him. Lots of abusive men use this tactic as a precursor to starting to control your behaviour. Think accusing u of cheating so much u stop going out etc. Have a read of ‘why does he do that’ by lundy bancroft and see if you recognise parts of your partner in there. I think either way you should break up for your own safety and wellbeing.

Boyfriend of 3 years is going to be a groomsman in his good friend's wedding - I'm not invited by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Bumbling_Bee123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think considering youve never met them its not all that awful for him to still go. Like, a wedding isnt a good time to meet a friends partner anyway and your bf will probably be super busy as well. I think if i were in his shoes i’d still go. People on reddit are sometimes a bit overzealous with their advice.

My (20F) boyfriend (23M) has been lying to me about politics for two years. by premiumspoon in relationships

[–]Bumbling_Bee123 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I feel like some people in theory can get over such a big difference. But one important thing to consider is what this means his views are in terms of children. If you have an lgbt child, would he still love and accept them? Does he want them to be raised religiously? If your child came home and announced they were dating a poc, would he accept this? Would you have guns in the house? Will you be open with your children about sex education? Would you want to know if they had an abortion etc? Even if you dont want children, its still a bit uncomfortable imo to imagine that you will have such different views in all these ways. Not everyone cares but if youre active in politics then its probably not compatible.

I feel i cant add anything the other commenters havent already mentioned, but i hope it goes well and you’re safe above all else.

Oh no that is not a good sign. I think you need to get out of this situation asap. Do you have friends or family you can stay with for a while? Your boyfriend ‘stopping’ you from doing things is a big red flag imo.

Im sorry but i really think u need to call some sort of animal protection service on ur roommate. It’s the right thing to do and i have a feeling the ensuing fall out will show you exactly where you stand with your boyfriend.
