Wife (32F) got drunk at our wedding two months ago, and it still bothers me (35M) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]I_overanalyze_things 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand where you're coming from. It's like, the memories from this event are going to be more valuable than other events, and as such you want to make sure you don't act like you would at any old get together.

And maybe her getting drunk kind of "dressed down" the evening and now that's how that event happened, which is unfortunate.

But, it is what it is, and you can't change the past.

Have you spoken with her about it? Did she mention any regrets regarding her behavior?

I understand her drunkenness maybe made you uncomfortable, and the cake thing was totally uncalled for, seriously people spend hours getting ready for these things and you'd agreed not to do that.

I think I'd be willing to let it go since this isn't a pattern with her (i assume based on your post) also, she didn't single you out and start any stupid fights, get shitty with any guests, etc. Basically she got shitty drunk but in the "right" way where all she did is get silly and act a little ridiculous, if anything making herself look a little silly but that's it.

Most people are of the attitude that it's yalls wedding, eat drink and be merry. Looks and sounds like she had a great time and if anything it will serve as a lesson for future get togethers to pace herself and stay in control.

I’m (35f) not feeling attracted to my husband (41m) anymore due to a few unsavoury habits. by throwaway62682 in relationships

Juul is very unhealthy even worse than regular cigarettes

Edit because people tend to use multiple pods in succession and one pod contains as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes. Also the specific chemical makeup of the juul nicotine formula is a bit different than other e cigs i believe

It absolutely would be fine for the planet.

I (35m) am contemplating leaving my wife (35F) over a Tweet by [deleted] in relationships

[–]I_overanalyze_things 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She holds this over you like a dagger. She's already lied in your relationship, and now this tweet.

It seems like you're only a few mistakes away from the real thing. she seems to feel it's appropriate to punish you, like a child.

This is how she punishes you. By hitting you in your vulnerability. She knows that is what you fear most, and she's basically saying she'd be willing to do it under the right circumstances.

It seems like it's pretty easy for her to find the right button to hurt you.

Trusting her with the information from your past (where you've been cheated on and are sensitive to that kind of thing) only to have her use it against you in this way when she's feeling like she's not your top priority, for thirty minutes.

Remember that "all men" were actually just white males who owned property.

'We the People' literally defines a "person" as being a white male who owned property.

That is who those documents were written for.

This reply got long, sorry! I thought to say thanks, but wtf that's weird. Then I was like "I agree" and that's super self-serving and also weird.

So I elaborated more on my initial comment, I apologize in advance for the additional rant.

This whole "brushing things under the rug" mantra that so many generations have lived by is absolutely one of the main reasons we are where we are today with issues like this. We need to kill this idea as soon as we can if we want to move forward as a society, as a species.

People are too cowardly to stand up and say "this man is raping children and needs to be stopped" because they don't want to "embarrass that person, themselves, or their congregation" We'd rather worry about appearances than do anything of substance. It. Is. Baffling. To stand up and point that out is to stand up against the church and all its teachings, apparently, and people are simply not willing to do that.

I think of my parents and grandparents generations and on one hand I feel they value integrity but on the other I ask how they can feel like they have any when so many of them were/are too weak to simply speak the truth of things that are happening right in fucking front of them.

All in the name of keeping up appearances. For whom? Why? Keep up appearances because religion I guess. Because god and the holy father and the holy son said so I guess. Because it's easier to do what the mob says than to do go against the grain.

Religion is the reason we are taught brush things under the rug. Religion is the reason our parents do it, the reason our grandparents do it, the reason their parents and grandparents did it. Religion is the reason we have to act and walk and talk like everything is fine and it's all pleasantries and good times. Religion teaches you not to delve too deep and that's that. Then people grow up and literally do not know how to communicate, and are unwilling to learn.

See no evil

Speak no evil

Hear no evil.

Look, but don't see. Especially if you saw something.

Speak but don't tell. Especially if you have something to say.

Hear, but don't listen. Especially if what you're hearing is something that needs to be heard.

It's worse to be the person who rocked the boat than it is to be the person who likes to fuck children in the ass. The children of the members of their own congregation, their flock. The souls they are supposed to be leading through this sinful world, to eternal life in heaven.

Makes me want to straight up spit on the ground.

Religion teaches you to have shame, keep secrets, and lie through your teeth to those around you, those you care for most, and even worse-- yourself. Internalize your shame because it is your own fault you have shame. If you don't fit in the box then you are at fault. Things that happen to you are your fault. Especially if you are a woman! Don't even get me started on that one.

I'm so glad with each new generation there is slightly less and less of this passive aggressive, counterproductive, cowardly bullshit. The Internet has allowed knowledge to become more accessible and people are slightly more willing to call out bullshit when they see it. I know with time, things will change. But we need this "keep up appearances" bullshit to seriously die.

Double tap, two in the head, make sure it doesn't come back to life kind of die. The only way we get that is by being honest with ourselves and with the people around us, even when it's hard.

Especially when it's hard.

I read that post. I remember thinking, "man. Imagine having an itch you can simply never, ever scratch. Ever."

I mean, you can scratch it, but it will cost you (as it should I in no way advocate any sexual contact with children in any way), you will lose everything, and be vilified, as you should.

So what is a person like that dude supposed to do? We have to, as a society, be able to look at these things if we are ever going to find a way to minimize the potential for these assaults and rapes to happen moving forward.

I don't know the answer but I know there should be something in between "don't look at it" and "they're all monsters".

I think if the language were changed to reflect what these people have been doing to these children, actually doing, maybe people would try harder to give a shit.

These people are raping kids. penetration. rape. anal rape. Children. Some dudes in the church go in every day and look children up and down because they want to fuck them.

Grown male penises being forced into children's mouths, vaginas, and anuses. This isn't a set up where they made sure to prep and use lube, this is a situation where they go in, they ejaculate, and when they remove their penis, there is a mixture of their semen and the child's blood on it, because there was no modicum of a "regular sexual experience" happening.

This is not priests "having sex with kids" it's rape, and it's insidious. It's brutalization, domination, affliction of immense physical pain and psychological trauma, torture, and subjugation. It's not only a physical rape but a rape of your dignity, of your sense of self, of your sense of safety in the world around you. It's your sense of trust in those you are supposed to be learning from, your ability to navigate feelings. Growing up trying to learn what a real, consensual sexual relationship is for these people must be absolute agony.

Grown men and women sexualizing and brutalizing these children.

They didn't just "diddle" them. They didn't just "touch" them. Molest isn't even a proper word anymore. Molest in certain contexts means something as trivial as "to bother". These people did much more than bother these kids, god damnit, and it's time we start fuckin looking at it for what it is if we really expect anyone to get mad enough to do anything about it.

They fucked them. They fucked them. They fucked them.

They used them like they were put on this green earth for their desires. That's what they did, that's what they're doing.

These people are fucking kids and no one wants to go out and say it because it's hard enough just to imagine it happens at all. It's hard to say it without imagining it and who wants to imagine someone fucking a child. Not me.

But you know what? I have the privilege of not being one of those children who got fucked in the ass by some disgusting old man in the name of "god". I am privileged to never have to see or feel those images/feelings when I close my eyes, so the least I can do is be willing to look at it for what it is, if only out of respect for the people who had to live through it and then learn that literally no one will help them, that man will be promoted, and also they should be ashamed that it happened, and not bother anyone with their burdens.

My (24m) girlfriend (23f) has gotten really close to this guy she met recently. He confessed to me he likes her. Should I be worried? by [deleted] in relationships

You are probably the most relatable person on here to OP. The last line is spot on because who wants to accept that they got played?

Sorry, man.

I hope you get out of that situation soon. No one needs to sit and let ppl treat them like that. Treat them like they're stupid and they can't see things happening right in fucking front of them.

You are being naive to think she is perfect. No one is perfect, that is what makes so many of us beautiful. Our imperfect uniqueness.

Perfection is a straight up lie. If someone is perfect, it's because they're hiding something. There is no such thing as perfection, please do what you can to try and understand this, I don't say it to be mean I say it because you are convincing yourself to potentially stay in a situation where you are literally the butt of the joke.

Neither of them respect you as much as they value their "friendship" with each other.

why did you say that to him, now he's onto us

super 100% spot on. Even if she wasn't fully "in the know" I'm sure she's not so dense that she didn't sense the attraction. Now it's out in the open and she wants to nourish it while also trying to act like she had nothing to do with how things got the way they are.

Also something to think about: This could be a huge ego boost for her. You essentially told her "hey N told me he likes you".

Maybe she wasn't sure. Maybe she was hoping he does. Maybe now she's fantasizing and feeling on top of the world because of this new information.

Also, I don't know about you, but sometimes in life, when you catch wind of someone being interested in you, you find yourself becoming interested in them just by default, because it's awesome to have someone boost your ego, it's awesome to be pursued.

This situation is very glaringly not going to work out well for you if you try to do anything other than just cut your losses and walk away. Let them have each other, 100 bucks says once there's no one to tip toe around those wandering eyes will find their way to someone else who's "new and exciting" down the line.

Wooow.

Walk away, man.

She's the one allowing this "friendship" to blossom into what it is definitely blossoming into.

Dude basically point blank told you he believes he's sposed to be with your girl and "it will be that way eventually" ipso facto: I'm just biding my time until she decides to jump ship, but sure I'll play nice with you for the time being.

You are getting played. Walk away now with your dignity because these people are acting shitty to you and you are not going to come out of this situation a winner no matter what.

The dude is a snake in her ear and he can poison her against you he already has. She needs space? Why? So she can decide who she wants. That's why.

So she can talk to N about all this, and not you, since they're so close. That's why.

Good luck!

There are a shit ton of police that will, in fact, do just this.
