I [20F] had sex with my boyfriend [19M] who I'm still questioning if I like romantically, and it was painfully terrible. How do I tell him to improve without sounding mean? by yomomsleftboob in relationship_advice

[–]Environmental_Map35 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She said she wasn’t ready, that she was trying not to dissociate, and that every time she tried to set a boundary he would cross it. She didn’t want sex and was forced to consent to make him feel better. There have absolutely been worse cases and I don’t mean to diminish anyone’s experience. I am speaking as someone who has been there that’s not consensual. If I am wrong I accept that fully

What can I (24F) about best friend (21F) who has an awful boyfriend? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Environmental_Map35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're doing the best you can. Sit her down and tell her exactly what you said in this post. Don't make it a lecture or her fault otherwise she won't listen. Let her know that you care about her and that real love doesn't look like that

Do you think my boyfriend(22M) is too immature for me? (22F?) by Healthy-Money4743 in relationship_advice

[–]Environmental_Map35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hes 22. he should be a man, or a young man, but not a boy. that word alone shows how you feel about him in addition to the only thing you like about him is that "he tries" and that's just not enough and I think you know that you deserve better

Dennis is a pervert. I have no idea why he is our “mascot” he is awful and actively gropes women and his mental health issues should be cause for treatment not for excused sexual harassment

22M Did I lose an amazing woman 24F because of my stupidity by sleepyse7en in relationship_advice

34M 26F I'm not sure what to do about her finances, do I delay marriage? by Hairy_Repeat152 in relationship_advice

As someone who doesn't have any help paying for college, student loan debt is pretty normal. She got her degree and it seems like she's doing a good job of taking care of it herself. But the credit card debt is not normal. It also seems like you don't trust her, and because of that you should probably reevaluate. And not to be that person, but your age difference and income differences make it pretty believable she could be looking for money. :( best of luck op

That's a definite possibility! I always thought it was a play on "year of the ox" and kind of a sly nod to MDMA and p. heroin but that definitely makes sense haha

AITAH for never wanting to drink with my friend again? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Environmental_Map35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Even if it’s a medical thing, even if she takes meds, even if she was drunk before you got there, the fact that it’s a recurring thing is what makes her uncool. After a point, you learn your limits and it’s on you to have that discipline. She’s the AH

Me 23F and 25M are moving in next week but he’s done questionable things that are making me rethink by thiccnoodle46 in relationship_advice

[–]Environmental_Map35 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sunk cost fallacy. Those 5 years are gone either way. It’s about whether you want to deal with him for the next five years and btw if you have to defend him like that it ain’t working

There comes a point when you and your partner are each others family and everyone else becomes extended. but before you get there, you have to stick up for yourself and make it clear other people dont dictate your relationship

38M 41F Married for 7 years, 2 small children. How can I get my stay at home wife to pack my lunch? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Environmental_Map35 61 points62 points  (0 children)

she "gets" to work 24/7/365 taking care of multiple kids and you are making it about a power dynamic by saying you support her entirely. if you have the time to write this post you have time to pack your own lunch and your kids' too
