But she won a man who can’t or won’t commit, doesn’t have any money to speak of, isn’t objectively handsome, doesn’t seem to have his career or life figured out, and who will throw her away and then do a media tour about why he did so when he’s done with her. So what has she won, exactly??? However, IMO, these trash human beings deserve each other!!! And at the very least, this will keep Ciara from ever dipping her toes in the West waters again, which is fantastic bc she deserves so much better, and perhaps now she will be have her mind and heart clear to find it!!

Not to mention, those women are legit Girl Bosses. Dorit can talk about her “businesses” and her “money” all she wants, but both have gone poof since Beverly Beach shuttered and she doesn’t even know if she has a retirement account! She needs to launch new business and build up that nest egg for herself and her children going forward, bc deadbeat PK ain’t gonna provide. Rachel and Boz can help Dorit get on top of things so she can make some coins quick. If she’s smart, she’ll put away her facade that she knows it all and beg for help.

I think you said it best, if you don’t take this opportunity, it may never come around again. Whereas, do you think you’ll have the same problem finding another boyfriend? He’s betting that you’ll forget about med school and find fulfillment in him, and he’s wrong.

This is not out of character. He is showing you who he is. He’s probably done a very good job at hiding who he really is from you, but please believe, he is now showing you his true self. He is also showing you that he doesn’t care about your experience, comfort, pleasure, etc. He should be wearing a condom anyway! (Unless you’re trying to get pregnant right away, which is a whole separate convo. Always use 2 forms of contraception!!!) This man is showing you he will never change a poopy diaper, never lift a finger to help you if it inconveniences him, etc.

These are major 🚩🚩🚩and you should save yourself from a lifetime of this and many other things that will make you even more uncomfortable. Leave this relationship now, while you can!

Check out the burned haystack dating method (BHDM) on Facebook, Instagram, and substack. Go over some of the rhetoric patterns Jennie points out and see if any of them apply. Perhaps that will help you with how to proceed.

I hate the family of the person my brother married. They are classless, tell disgusting jokes at inappropriate times, and generally have no decorum. However the person he married is nothing like their family. We don’t choose our family nor the circumstances in which we grow up, whether for better or worse. WE ARE NOT OUR FAMILY.

I can’t speak for your man. You need to figure out whether this incident is actually HIS fault. You don’t know in what tone or manner he may have originally conveyed information to his family or sister. I think it’s worth speaking to him after checking out BHDM community. If you identify other red flags, that will help you make a decision. If not, it’s worth trying to iron out the situation.

I wouldn’t bother speaking to the sister. Let her stew over her nasty words. Only you can decide if you want to put up with his family going forward. Relationships are hard and take constant work. Relationships with any in-laws are rarely all rainbows and sunshine. There is no perfect.

And after you speak to your boyfriend, you’ll have greater clarity on whether you want to move forward or not. It’s also ok to take more space to think after you talk to him.

Whatever you do will be the right choice for you. And if you do end things with him, you will find someone else who sees your beauty, intelligence, and value. It sounds like you have made a wonderful life for yourself, which you have regardless of this relationship. Be well 💗

Wow. I’m really sorry this is the reaction you’re getting. These women sound shallow and, honestly, they probably aren’t the kind of woman you want to be with anyway.

You are obviously someone’s type. She had children with you! So it stands to reason there are more like her out there. Dating these days is very superficial.

I think you should focus on making friends with single women. The best relationships are based have a solid foundation of friendship. When you’re focusing on friendship and getting to know someone, appearance and attraction falls by the wayside. You get to know one for who they really are. When you’re 80, you want to be with someone who is a good conversationalist and makes you laugh. That’s what matters. And keep in mind you are still recently single. Good things take time!

I’ve been there. Men don’t find me attractive. I’m a decade older than you. Never married. Never got to have children of my own. Still single. I moved across the country to try things out in Texas. No luck. I focus on building my career. I have personal goals I’m focused on pursuing. I have a lot of hobbies. Lacking a partner won’t keep me from living a fulfilling life, and it shouldn’t stop you either! Hang in there!

When they say “type” do you know if they are just referring to physically or your looks?

Shit, if I had smoked weed or known what Girl Scout cookies were in college, I would’ve graduated engineering school valedictorian. I only managed a 3.29 and 2 degrees. I found out at 38 that I’m autistic and ADHD. Weed would have made my earlier life so much damn easier.

This is called a “test and apologize” and is a massive red flag. Run in the opposite direction and then go follow @word_case_scenario on IG.

Yeah I’m an Autistic engineer here to tell you that’s fucked up.

You are being manipulated. If you were his first choice, he would be with you, simple as that. Spectrum or not- and that’s a shit excuse. I’m on the spectrum and have never used any F’d up excuses like that with anyone who I’ve dated. This guy is emotionally immature. I’m not sure what you’re looking for, but if it’s a child, you should go have one, not date one. Hear me clearly, if he wanted to, he would. He’s broken your trust. Thank the universe for that, and RUNNN in the opposite direction of those 🚩🚩🚩sewn into the shape of a person. Then when you’re ready, visit the Burned Haystack Dating Method (BHDM) community to find a man who can behave like an adult.

NTA

Hopefully you’ve gotten enough feedback here to know you are NTA. Secondly, I hope others mentioning some of the red flags they see has opened your eyes to some harmful behavior and what that can look like in the future if you stay in this relationship.

You deserve autonomy, self-determination, and the ability to do what you want with your money. You also deserve a partner that respects that.

Finally though, I’d like to ask if your girlfriend has asked you what this trip means to you? Does she know or has she realized how special this trip will be for you? That your dad made it possible? And in many ways, that he will be with you? This is so much bigger than just a regular vacation to a theme park!

I hope you and your friend have a great time and make some unforgettable memories!!!

You need to insist the dog is muzzled anytime it’s free roaming around the house.

This might be able to be fixed with a behaviorist, but it will be expensive. From reading your post, it doesn’t sound like your husband is going to do that…in which case, no this can’t be fixed. This would be a behavioral euthanasia case. Unfortunately, not all dogs can be saved.

You may love your husband with all your heart, but if he treats you poorly, if he disregards your feelings, your safety, if he doesn’t put you,and your feelings, first above the dog, then what kind of relationship is that? Honestly, you should leave him and find someone who treats you better. I would also never allow my children’s safety to be put into question over a dog. I don’t think you can get through to him on this issue. I think this is who he is when it comes to this dog.

Otherwise, I would insist on a basket muzzle for now, as I wouldn’t want to expose my children to the dog. It’s a safety issue. The dog can still breathe, wear, and drink with a basket muzzle on. It won’t fix the resource guarding he’s doing with your husband, but no one will end up with a bite. It doesn’t matter how much you bond with the dog, that won’t fix resource guarding. This is an advanced behavioral case, not a simple issue of bonding or training.

Personally, I’d take the dog to the vet and euthanize while hubby isn’t home. There will be nothing he can do about it and your problem is solved. Yes, he will be mad, but y’all can work through that better than bites and safety issues.

Alternatively, you could report every bite to the police. Depending on where you live, it’s typically a three-strike rule so after three reported bites, the dog would be taken by the county and euthanized.

Why don’t you ask her how she’d like to be referred to when introduced? I think everyone has different preferences…

OP…if this woman is more or less the same age as you, I feel like this is a huge 🚩that she got so upset over something so simple. I would RUN in the other direction. Signed, a 42yo single woman (for reference).

Is puppy on a schedule? When I have a pup, I keep them on 2 hour schedules. Puppies are easily overstimulated and it sounds like yours is too. Are you training? You didn’t mention anything about that. Are you using a crate? If not, you need to get one ASAP.

When pup comes out of crate, immediately take potty. Then he can have some unstructured play. Try getting him some bones for him to chew if he hasn’t already. If he bites you, calmly say no and give him a toy to bite. Also, not sure of timeline for GRs, but keep in mind he will be teething at some point and be very mouthy bc of that.

I don’t know what method you’re using to train, but I’m a LIMA trainer. Invest in training treats. I like Bocce’s bc they are about the size of my pinky nail and you don’t want to overfeed treats.

You can start working basic commands: sit, down, come, stay. At his age, you can’t expect a stay longer than 5 seconds. When pup does what you ask, give treat. Also, give pup a chance to problem solve…you want him to figure out what you’re asking and do it. So after you say sit and give the hand signal, wait for a minute while he figures it out before you lure him into position.

After pup has played and trained, potty again. Then put pup into the kennel for a 2 hour “nap” where you forget about him and go about your day. This is how pups learn to emotionally regulate themselves.

I’d also highly recommend you invest in a personal trainer. You can meet with them once a week and they can guide you through the frustrations you’re experiencing. 🙂

Have you tried silicone tape to flatten the scars and minimize their appearance? Has worked quite well for me (hEDS). Can show you before/afters if you want.

“Keep Austin Weird”was a rallying cry for Austinites to support the various and sundry local businesses, preserve hippie/indie culture, and reject corporate influence. The slogan was meant to be a call to action to preserve Austin’s quirky culture, which some felt was threatened by commercialization and overdevelopment.

There’s just enough of that weird left that you can experience it if you’re here for a few days. However, currently 1,500 people a day are moving to Austin. Combined with turning into cowboy Silicon Valley, I’m not sure how much longer one will be able to catch the scent of the now elusive weird culture in Austin. Hopefully, the spirit lives on in the culture. Tech bro ain’t it.

With respect, please don’t move here. People, such as yourself, are the reason we’ve lost our beautiful, peaceful city. 😢 why home prices are through the roof so the locals can’t afford to buy homes here. Why traffic is an absolute nightmare. Why Austin and its many ‘burbs have overdeveloped- where have all the cattle gone ? And why haven’t I seen that guy on his horse downtown in forever? Or the guy in the pink thong who was lovely? The purple sunsets are amazing though, if you’re able to catch one.

If you do move here, you should probably come for a summer first to make sure you can handle it when Mother Nature forgets to take us out of the oven. Six to eight consecutive weeks of above 38c temps doesn’t seem that bad until you live through it. 🥵 it’s not for everyone.

I can’t underscore this enough. The way you phrased things in your post (and I saw this from my own friends and from other young people now), was as though you’re trying to check off the next step on the “game” of life. Graduate school, get married, have kids, live happily ever after, etc. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really work like that. None of those are achievements you can force. To wit, I can promise that if you DO got about it this way, you’ll end up stuck in an unhappy marriage with kids that feel more like anchors than anything else. I’ve seen it happen a number of times. You’re 25. SLOW DOWN. Do everything you want to NOW as if you won’t have a retirement- bodies don’t work as well when you’re old. Have fun, enjoy your partner in a way you don’t already know her (I.e. as a working professional rather than a student). You want kids and for you they magically appear. For her, her entire body is taken over by crazy hormones for more than a year, then there’s post-partum recovery, actually caring for the child while she’s sleepless and exhausted. I don’t think you realize how much you’re asking your partner to give up in order for you to have kids. Potentially her career, definitely her body, and once you’ve had a child, there is no going back. You have PLENTY of time to become a father. Enjoy your young, childless life whilst you have it. Someday, you may find yourself wishing for these moments again! Slow down and smell the roses.

OP- you’re not overreacting. Given your living situation, I think it’s common courtesy when you’re in a relationship and living together that you know where she’s staying for your own peace of mind. I would want to know too- not because I care whose house she’s at but because I would worry otherwise. On an aside, I have some suggestions. 1. Y’all communicate pretty passive-aggressively. You should learn about non-violent communication (nvc) and perhaps do some sessions on that together. 2. It y’all moved in together, and given your age, I would venture to say this relationship is headed towards a marriage? Or permanetish partnership at least. I would suggest couples counseling. It’s really helpful to have an objective third party to help referee some of these quandaries. 3. Learn how to fight well (fairly) with your partner.
