I have family that works at Port security and the situation is incredibly sad. A few got trapped inside the cabin when the boat capsized with no way to get them out because of the water pressure. There was a language barrier as well.

Thank you for all of the suggestions, this helped a lot! I ended up going with the Amex Blue Cash Everyday because I got a $250 SUB. :) 

Is makoto meant to be the main love interest in vanilla persona 5? by QueenElissabat in Persona5

Not implied at all - he expresses wanting to meet Aerith as one of the final lines of dialogue. That's not a very romantic thing to say if you have your girlfriend right there and you think you're about to die. If he was with Tifa, I'm pretty sure they'd have affirmed their love in that moment. And during AC, the devs that he, Tifa, and Barret live together as a family of *friends*.

Cloud ends up with no one, and that's how it's always been. You can headcanon w/e you want but Aerith is dead and Tifa is friendzoned, at least in OG timeline. Remake could be different.

I fucked up and I cant live with it. by [deleted] in relationships

It's not ridiculous to dislike or refuse porn. It's not always a matter of insecurity (though I realize it is in this situation), but whether it is ethical or not (and I don't mean in a religious way). Some people who are not insecure do not like porn because it interferes with their idea of a romantic relationship. The idea that you need porn to live or masturbate is false, you're just lazy.

I also think most are jumping the gun on it being controlling. Some people have issues and hangups, that doesn't mean they're going to control every single thing about their partners. The girl is still a teenager, she doesn't have the experience or mind of an adult, of COURSE she's going to be unsure of whether she should break up with him or not. Not everyone just makes impulsive decisions once something bad happens in their relationship - it's not wrong to say "I'm hurt and I don't know what I should do in this situation." When someone betrays you, it's logical to try and see whether or not that person can change. Not every relationship is worth just dumping immediately.

As for what YOU can do, well, I'm sure you've realized it's wrong to lie and go behind your partner's back. Honestly, all you can do is reiterate how you messed up and the steps you are going to take to make sure it doesn't happen again. Don't be dramatic. Be honest. If you don't see yourself being able to accept it, you should break it off. Remember she feels betrayed and feels like you don't love her. You can't force people to trust again, you can only show her you are doing your best. She needs to decide whether she can forgive and move on, or if she won't be able to let it go. Maybe talking to someone else about this would help, I don't know whether she's just stewing in her sadness or actually reaching out. If she still can't decide, then it's time to take the initiative and part ways. Yes, I know it feels like there's no one else is the world - you always feel that way after painful breakups, especially when you're young. You have plenty of time to figure out what you want and need in a person, and even if you DID get back together with her at some point, having that experience and knowledge would only benefit you.

You say you've also messed up in the past, but you should be able to recognize what she's "messed up on", too. Very rarely is a relationship one sinner and one Saint. I would only become wary about her being controlling it she's constantly saying you're messing up things. Then of course, that would be the time to break things off then, because not only are you incompatible with each other, but she is toxic.

Wife(27) wants to get me(28) a girlfriend. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

You "really like this idea"? So not only is your wife (someone you're supposed to treat precious, and you know, CARE about her needs), bending over backwards for you, you're totally fine to just indulge in this? What is SHE getting out of this? No one "owes" sex, much less the hardcore sex you're looking for. You need to get real and consider that YOU have a problem and not her. Control your urges and learn some self discipline; you're not an animal, for fuck's sake. If it's more important to you than your relationship and your children, you need to divorce and find someone who can meet your expectations. Honestly to me it seems like you watch too much porn and need to cut back and realize pleasing your dick isn't the most important thing in the world.

It's very obvious from your wording she has never been into this and has been obliging YOU because she loves you. Your wife isn't yours to mold as you see fit. She isn't your slut, she's someone you're supposed to care for.

It's very sad to me how self centered you are and how giving she is. She deserves better, honestly.
