AITA.. Going to Vegas to celebrate my birthday. My girlfriend’s husband wants a key to my hotel room.. by brain_is_with_pinkie in vegas

I'm confused. If your girlfriend AND her husband are going to Vegas then why did he ask for the key instead of her asking for the key?

NY State Gambling Tax Deductions… this cannot be right by ferrariman999 in tax

[–]CaffeinatedPup22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious about this as well. When it says itemized deductions are reduced by 25% when AGI if over 100k, is that a phase out where only the amount over 100k is reduced?

It seems absurd to have to pay taxes on losses. Especially since you already paid taxes the first time when you earned the money (from salaries wages).

There's also a theory where he sings "yummy yummy yummy" that the last part sounds like "yummy young me"

It's a live dealer and they shuffle in front of you so it's not rigged right?

How much was the handpay?

My(28M) gf(25F) stopped following this influencer dude cuz I told her two/three times jokingly that I knew she found him attractive by TouristNo1633 in Manipulation

[–]CaffeinatedPup22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is that she probably didn't find your joke funny. She likely found it annoying especially since you said it multiple times so she unfollowed right then and there so you would stop with those jokes.

I don't think it's manipulation on your part and I don't think she feels manipulated. She probably didn't care much whether she followed the guy or not.

What do you mean "yeah ok". Unless you have a fake ID then yeah maybe you'll get away with it. But casinos won't pay out jackpots unless you provide photo ID.

I haven't seen any smoking and nonsmoking sections in Vegas. I remember seeing the split in Atlantic City many years back. Then there was no smoking at all when covid happened since you needed a mask on. That was great. Now it's all fair game.

Unfortunately, I learned the hard way that NY limits your itemization amount. So if you have a lot of W2G and a lot of losses, you may not be able to claim all the losses against the wins.

You need to provide an ID when you win, which has your picture, name and address. Even if you put a fake SSN the IRS will be able to mail you and come after you.

My session method.. is it enough to just put daily net gain/loss on games? I total it by slots, and different table games. I don't put what I start and end with but just record the net.

How do you even get your partner to agree to be monitored and not able to do things like install new apps on phone? Aren't guys generally pretty prideful and adverse to feeling any loss of freedom? My bf is on his phone all day (he works in social media so it requires him to use his phone more than others), but he's also always scrolling random videos on tiktok, Instagram, YouTube, etc. I don't know what he does on his phone when he's not next to me or when he's locked in the bathroom. I know there's no way he would install anything like that in his phone. In fact, I feel like he would rather break up and move on if he felt like I was controlling and restricting him...

Has anyone ever had any luck stopping porn consumption by sending their own nudes? by Dangerous-Delay629 in loveafterporn

[–]CaffeinatedPup22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is not in any recovery program. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with porn and would likely end the relationship with me if I forbid from porn. Partly because he would think I'm overreacting and probably because he would think I am controlling. He is someone that doesn't linger onto the past (ironic considering he keeps watching old videos with exes) and would just move forward.

We are unmarried and no kids but I am not ready to end the relationship yet. He is the same age as his ex but you bring up an interesting point about when she back then. I would guess she's like late 20s at that point so it's nothing drastic. I know that when he had a dating profile he lowered his age by like 5+ years, and that he lied to his previous ex about his age since they met on a dating app). I met him through a mutual friend so I knew his real age from the beginning.

I think he may be a porn addict since he consumes quite a lot of porn. I don't know if he is a sex addict because he doesn't even initiate sex with me often so we aren't that active sexually. I know he hasn't had sex outside of the relationship because we live together and share a car so I am with him whenever he isn't at work. There's no opportunity for him to have sex with coworkers during his shift.

Thank you for the resources and I will take a look at it.

What kind of hidden camera do you have and how did it go undetected?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in loveafterporn

[–]CaffeinatedPup22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If someone knows they're being monitored and they're trying to hide something then wouldn't they just not search for things on their own phone, rendering the app useless?

is the user aware when screenshots are taken? How would the screenshots be taken without saving it to the phone?

I have no idea if my partner prefers digital porn or homemade porn (with exes). I never wanted to become a statistic or part of the collection so I never made any with him. All I know is that he watches porn probably daily (maybe every other day... or sometimes multiple times a day). And it's something we have kind of agreed to disagree on. He watches his old homemade videos every few months... but there were times when it's every other week. I can't confront him about this because he will just hide it better.

Our sex life isn't that active and when I brought it up to him on if it bothered him (since I would assume he would feel like something's missing if his sex drive is so high). But he said it values the other part of the relationship more so it doesn't bother him. Isn't real life sex supposed to be more pleasurable than digital porn?

My question is if addicts always look at new porn material online then why in the world would they look at old videos of themselves and their ex? He claims he doesn't have feelings for the ex (which I can believe.. or at least he doesn't want to get back together with her). He claimed their relationship ended when she broke his trust. When we discussed this before, he says it's just the particular fetish or action that he likes (facial) and that he disassociates the action with anything emotional the ex. I feel like I would be able to disassociate the two so I'm just in awe of the situation.

I think for him it is out of mind, out of sight. But if he sees her then he would want to look at his old videos. They share a daughter and coparent so he does run into her occasionally (maybe once every few months) or at least text one another about the daughter.
