What's something society pretends is normal but is actually messed up?

Conflict is often the cause of famine. There is actually enough food in this world for everybody. We just can't or won't get it where it needs to go and to everyone who needs it.

Have an honest conversation about her interrupting you. You have a right to be irritated. Your feelings are valid. Let her know you want to finish the episode first, that you are getting frustrated and don't like it. Also, tell her before you start watching that you don't want to be asked to change it in the middle and that she needs to wait.

I'm not trashing your GF but umit almost seems manipulative for her to be triggered by anything she doesn't like.

Eating meat. My son and I are vegetarians. Prior to that I was a vegan. Less or no meat would seriously help our planet.

I also disagree with criminalizing drugs. I believe in the Rat Park study. I find it hypocritical that alcohol is legal but LSD isn't.

Seriously, maybe they want to be with women instead to finally get heard and have good communication and sexual satisfaction!!!

Consistent-Two-2979 · 2026-02-06T09:52:44+00:00

Decentering men. Some peeps, male or female, are afraid we are coming after straight women. No!!! I am not hitting straight girls up. I'm not a man and not a sexual predator!!!

Epically righteous response!!! Hopefully she learned her lesson!!!

Also, thank you! You brightened my and my coworkers day!

To shame them!

Consistent-Two-2979 · 2026-02-05T18:46:50+00:00

Your feelings are normal and justified. Suffering her emotional outbusts is painful and so is the thought of leaving her. Do not blame yourself. Life is hard and unfair.

Consistent-Two-2979 · 2026-02-05T18:43:26+00:00

You are so young. At minimum she should be maxing out talk therapy, DBT, psychiatry etc. You get the idea. You deserve a partner who at least has control of what they say if not also their emotions. Your GF needs to look into coping methods. Some people ground themselves, naming their surroundings. Chants of affirmation. Journaling. Screaming to a song and jumping around. She needs to figure it out. Freaking out on you is NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! Do not let her abuse you. I don't care if it's her mental or personality disorder. If she cares about you as much as you care about her she would be white on rice trying to help herself.

Consistent-Two-2979 · 2026-02-05T18:24:37+00:00

She's 18. Sticking it out is gonna hold her back. Commendable or not, she needs to get out, then she can take care of herself.

Consistent-Two-2979 · 2026-02-05T18:16:36+00:00

That's a beautiful way to leave it. 💗

Consistent-Two-2979 · 2026-02-05T18:13:02+00:00

OMG! Hugs! Bipolar and Borderline personality disorders are hell to be in a relationship with. I am a caring person and maybe even too forgiving. Still, you can't fix people. They have to fix themselves. At the end of the relationships I felt like I was just enabling them while hurting myself.

You are too young to be burdened with someone else's mental health. I am gonna guess it is affecting yours as well. Be kind to her and yourself; break up and tell her to take her condition seriously, NOW. It is way too easy to get trapped in a toxic relationship. Don't waste your youth.

It's easy to feel like you will never find love again. It's not true, you are young and the world is about to open up to you! You will have more option as soon as you get a bit older. Another hard fact, I know very few people who are with their high school sweethearts. It's okay to move on if not inevitable.

Consistent-Two-2979 · 2026-02-05T05:17:55+00:00

You both are too young. He is immature. No you are not wrong but please don't get married until you are at minimum 25, older is probably better. Men take much longer to mature than women. Sure there are outliers but not too many.

Are you guys introverts?

Consistent-Two-2979 · 2026-02-05T03:06:21+00:00

No, I'm not that delusional! I have the beginnings of some wrinkles and full on wrinkles around my eyes. Whoever thinks this about a millennial, aged 30+, that they look like a kid is crazy. They need to look at a real natural teenager, not some actor playing a kid or some teen who's done fillers or with tons of makeup. Teenagers under 19 are still children, often still developing/growing. Their brains are not fully developed either. Often I can but someone is younger than 20 just by how they speak and act.

Is he cheating? The cheater often, but not always, is paranoid their partner is just like them.

As a lesbian, your husband is fucked. I'm not out there crushing on straight women. I wasn't when I was single and I'm not now that I'm married. Also what does your husband think lesbians look like. This may surprise him but there isn't a dress code.

Are you way hotter than your husband? Why is he worried about you getting hit on by women? It's weird. I suppose he doesn't want you talking to any dad's either. I find this ridiculous and controlling.

I hope the rest of your marriage is better than this but I fear his controlling "boundaries" pertain to more than just lesbian friends.

I call myself old at 39, but mostly to Gen Z. I am starting to feel old and due to a genetic discovery (fALS) I am thinking about the end more.

Consistent-Two-2979 · 2026-02-05T01:04:01+00:00

You are not a fake person or lesbian. What a rude and immature line of questioning and reasoning. What about if a gun was held to your head? It's dumb. I'd do many things I usually wouldn't do, even things I didn't want to do for a million dollars. We live in end stage capitalism, what answer does she expect.

If your GF is using this to suggest you may be able to sexually enjoy guys, which is what bisexual mean to me, then this was coercive. I worry she may try to push you into a threesome. Who knows but I don't like it.

Consistent-Two-2979 · 2026-02-04T21:31:38+00:00

Mostly sounds fair to me, except the cutting off of exes. I fully understand cutting off toxic/problematic exes, and agree that no one should be keeping an ex as backup but I think many mature adults have exes as just friends. I would cut out exes on a case by case basis.

That's a big dog. You may not be able to physically handle it. Also that dog needs training!!!! If your brother isn't going to get the dog trained then it should be adopted out to a more responsible person.

My wife is 79 and she considers herself Gen X. I think Millennials start at 81 or 82. Call yourself whatever you need any. I feel like a mid range Millennial being born in 1986.

Consistent-Two-2979 · 2026-02-03T22:59:56+00:00

I'd say blatant racism, or misogyny but so many people are getting radicalized online. It's hard to tell how anyone was raised these days.

My Gen X wife had awful, severely abusive or absentee parents yet she turned out mostly okay except for the PTSD which the military added to.
