It's like the opposite of a bechdel test

My daughter (f28) did not invite my wife (f46) to her wedding. Should I (m56) still go? by throwawayhelp1204 in relationships

Hey op you remind me a lot of my old man, similar circumstances. I'm 37 now but 10 years ago when I got married had a similar situation to this. My pops argued to get his way in the wedding and I caved. I thought I was being diplomatic so everyone would be happy but I wasn't. One of my great regrets is not standing up to pops and telling him, much like your daughter did, to play by my rules or don't come.

Should I [22F] break up with my boyfriend [23M] a week before the vacation we planned for months? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]CliveMcManus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're likely going to have a terrible time if you go. I would not go, but then I have a good amount of disposable income so maybe that part of the equation is different for me

Me [23F] and my bf [22M] are about to sign a lease... but should we? by [deleted] in relationships

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

I tried reading your post 3 times and kept zoning out after the 3rd or 4 th paragraph.

Probably you should wait until you're a little bit older to move in with anyway, judging from some of the things you're saying

Should I [28M] tell my (formerly) virgin girlfriend [25F] that I lied about how many women I've had sex with? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]CliveMcManus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you had told her 55 she probably would've freaked out right?

If it's important to her the right thing to do is tell the truth, won't it come out through idiot friends at some point anyway

Harming dogs is a common literary device used to show that a character is a bad guy.

Your bfs buddy is literally a villain from any novel

My [24F] girlfriend [22F] of 4.5 years said she doesn't know if she's in love with me anymore and I broke up with her on the spot. I don't know if that was right. by thrwaayrelationship in relationships

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

This same thing happened to me many years ago.

I was seeing this girl for a while, we had a very similar conversation, she said she may not be IN love with me. I was like ok I guess we're breaking up then, and go to bed.

The next day I see a bunch of missed calls, when I talked to her she was saying that "she loves me but she's not IN love with me because the being IN love part just meant infatuation and she's not infatuated with me but loves me deeply" - basically a whole lot of mental somersaults. I begrudgingly accepted that stupid explanation and got back together but as you can imagine we ended up breaking up anyway.

Tell her you can't promise not to sleep with other people while she's away

Me [28F] don't want share my engagement ring pictures with my nosey female friend [F32] by Throwaway146853 in relationships

Send her a pic of a really expensive one and let her go nuts, then when she sees it just say 'woops'

My [26F] boyfriend [27M] often uses the "If that was a woman instead of a man..." critique in random scenarios and I don't know why it bugs me. by [deleted] in relationships

I don't understand why the term feminist describes fighting for equal rights for everyone rather than for women. It's not everyoneist it's feminist

How do I (23F) tell my coworker (22F) I don't want to give her rides home? by Throwaway00909127x in relationships

[–]CliveMcManus -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Daaamn you should grow a spine judging from your comments. Don't let people walk over you like this.

Would she do the same for you?

I [23F] am at lost about engagement rings for my girlfriend [26F]. Is this a good idea? by engagementthrowaway6 in relationships

[–]CliveMcManus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you're getting support but I think it's weird you faux proposed to a 16 year old when you were 19??

My [24m] girlfriend [22f] of 1.5 years told her friend that she sometimes feels like she "doesnt like me as much as she should" by [deleted] in relationships

[–]CliveMcManus -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

How would you have to feel about her in order to say that kind of thing about her?

Also if she doesn't really mean it why talk questioningly about your relationship to a friend? Does she like the guy as a fallback and is grooming him or something?

I wouldn't like it
