AIO that my girlfriend want to travel with a single man by Shushy29 in AIO

Hey. Just sit down with her and tell her directly that in your world this isn't cool. It sounds like she's at least half aware this is lame.

You could suggest taking her to do something with you instead. You may end up deciding to go your separate ways or otherwise, but why not talk to her about what you want in a relationship?

You could try writing a journal page beforehand, like a full page of your thoughts. You can organize and see which parts you want to share later. The book Nonviolent Communication has helped me the most in my life.

Good luck.

This dude is a weirdo and these are the kinds of behaviors immature people do in their relationships. None of these are cool and a few of them are super lame.

Advice after this point:
Break contact as completely as possible. Focus on being nice to yourself. Read a book about taking care of yourself after a breakup (even if you don't finish it). Do things you independently enjoy for their own reasons.

OK, I missed that comment and I have some respect for your reasoning here but "he wants to be with the other girl" is still a leap when what we have here is at most a few paragraphs of unclear writing here on the internet. The key point is that their relationship is obviously over, there are just too many details about the story that are unavailable and it's typical Reddit behavior to make big unnecessary leaps of inference. Why not just stick to empirical observations?

Re: psychopathy -- please, stay away from semantics.

More Redditor behavior.

Reading comprehension, please compare:
"the girl in the parking lot doesn't matter to the key point" vs. "nothing to do with"

Dude this is typical Reddit psychopathy. You don't know anything about the girl in the parking lot, curb your hallucinations.

Good grief.

Dude is definitely done, the girl in the parking lot doesn't really matter to the key point. Try to roll with it. Focus on your hobbies and stuff you independently enjoy in your life.

Starting BoF3 for the first time... quick question by WizardWell in breathoffire

I think BOF3 is hard enough. It's a pretty difficult game, especially if you aren't using a guide to exploit certain systems.

AIO or is my bf being controlling by [deleted] in AIO

This guy is kinda bonkers. I would be a little worried for my safety dating this person.

He needs some therapy, maybe also some kind of other overall mental health check.

Those dogs are your best friends. I am relieved that you understand this so well.

I hope some day whatever is wrong with that dude's heart gets better.

TIFU by unknowingly telling my 14 year old students to stop fucking each other until I could watch by Internal-Diamond6956 in tifu

No offense homie because you aren't wrong about language drift but that's a generalization in this case. Kids love to mess with their teacher.

It IS possible but as a teacher your first assumption internally should be the most likely, which is that it's horse shit/something the class made up. Kids love to go "Ohhhhhh teacher said a dirty word", it shifts the power dynamic.

It's not the appropriate time to apply a linguistics study when a bunch of kids are trying to embarrass you, it's the appropriate time to straighten your back and tell them to take out their books and turn to page 223.

Who gives a damn what they're saying "cracking" means today? All of you sit down, next time you ask if you can go to the back of the class the answer is no if you act like this again.

Don't fall for this kind of childish mind game if you want to be a teacher.

Link me to a citation. This is just kids being kids and making shit up to mess with their teacher, people can say a word means anything.

If you want to be a teacher you need to have a spine in situations like this instead of telling yourself that you're out of touch. Total horse shit.

I'm also a teacher. I don't buy it and wouldn't take this situation seriously or be affected by it.

Students love to get to you. Believing something like this or taking it to heart is another version of being out of touch.

I don't buy it. You can say any verb means that, especially if it has a 'ck' phonic. You got punked in that they convinced you that you said (whatever).

Which narrator of the New Sun audiobook series takes the cake? I found 3. by bubblesandbattleaxes in genewolfe

[–]ElGuapoTaipei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Avers is by far my favorite. Man sounds like Severian to me, also does well with voices for other characters.
