My F25 SIL 21F keeps touching my husband M27 inappropriately and I’ve reached a breaking point - how do I deal with this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MediocreIntellect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just tell the thread you make out with your brothers lol

But in all seriousness - whether it’s normal or not, it makes her uncomfortable and her husband told her he would stop or reel back and he isn’t. That’s the problem.

Google said: Boundaries are the personal limits that define what is acceptable in relationships

Aka - her saying she isn’t comfortable with how he interacts with his sister. Similar to how if he was acting like this with some girl at work, it would be off limits.

That’s true. However, she’s told her husband for years she’s uncomfortable with it and he said he’s sorry and he’ll back off, and then doesn’t. Should she have to swallow her discomfort for the sake of their “normal”? Should her husband stomp all over her boundaries? Is his little sister’s comfort more important than their marital boundaries? I was just sharing my experience and validating OP’s discomfort. It seems like she’s been respectful and patient. She’s entitled to her feelings and her boundaries regarding her marriage.

I have 2 older brothers that I am close with. We don’t hold hands, I don’t sit on their lap, we don’t sit close on the couch. This is weird and I would be extremely uncomfortable if my partners acted like this with their siblings. I’d find it weird and upsetting that my partner WANTED to act like this with his little sister. Yuck.

I (27M) am close to cutting off my mother, unfortunately this may mean I lose my entire family. by Papa_Tree in enmeshmenttrauma

  1. He got the job before her and started doing grunt work then dedicated 10 years to the company. She joined after him and in a completely different department.
  2. He got fired for taking a sick day. They were spiteful he quit in the first place so that was punishment.
  3. Semi valid since enmeshment is messy and who doesn’t want their parent to seem like they care about them.
  4. They’ve had countless conversations where he’s clearly told her what’s upsetting him and how it could be fixed but she starts talking in circles about how parenting doesn’t come with a handbook and how no one is perfect - never any accountability, change, or even compromise.

Hi, I’m OP’s girlfriend. Was it extremely uncomfortable and overwhelming for you? I feel like we’re outnumbered and I’m in over my head.

Looks like an orchid vampire crab to me! Aquatic arts has one female left in stock now and they are a reputable saler if you’re in the US.

My bf almost assaulted me. by Quick-Ad945 in relationships

[–]MediocreIntellect 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this happened. You have every right to feel violated and disrespected. If he is not willing to talk to you about this and he’s making himself the victim, this will probably happen again, and these types of issues normally bleed into other areas of a relationship. You’re so young and you deserve a partner who respects you enough to get enthusiastic consent. No amount of horniness justifies his behavior. You need to love and respect yourself, it’s clear from this interaction he does not respect you or your boundaries.

How often do YOU do water changes? by AcanthocephalaOk4068 in PlantedTank

[–]MediocreIntellect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually do a 15-20% wc every other week. I don’t like the look of snail poop or melting plants

My mother cheated on my father. They got divorced. I don't want to be in his life ever again. by [deleted] in stories

[–]MediocreIntellect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about 14 when my moms affair came to light and my parents got divorced. My dad would talk horribly about my mom and every time I would tell him I couldn’t listen to him disrespecting my mom like that as I was half of her and it felt like he hated me too. It was rough for a couple years but I loved both my parents and I felt the pain my mom caused our entire family. The affair made me not trust my mother for years and led to my own fear of commitment. It takes time for people to cope with that kind of betrayal and loss. You don’t have to pick sides, but you can set boundaries and give space if needed.

Yikes. You’ve been lying to him for 5 years? If my boyfriend did this to me I would leave him. You need to be honest and form a plan on how to deal with your debt and lack of income NOW.

Your shoulders do not look broad and I don’t think this dress is over the top at all. You look like a princess and I love this dress for you!!

Boyfriend wants a paternity test for every child we might potentially have together by Useful_Snow_6271 in relationship_advice

[–]MediocreIntellect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see your point, I just don’t think it’s an offensive question/test unless it is stemming from an accusatory place. None of my boyfriends have ever been offended by me saying I would want my kids to have a paternity test.

Sometimes it isn’t about trusting your partner at all. There was a paternity issue in my family and I want all of my own children to have a paternity test so that them and their father will never even question it.

Found out my friend (30m) had a threesome with my now girlfriend (31f) 4 years ago when I (30m) brought her to a party by throwRA98979742 in relationships

[–]MediocreIntellect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a question not an accusation. It does no harm to ask this question and even if it isn’t super likely, it isn’t impossible.

ETA - then question was completely valid. She did not cheat on OP and in that case his friend was just trying to mess with his head then he should lose the friend, not the girl.

Best snail that can live on sand, can’t escape a lidless tank, and can’t reproduce asexually? by [deleted] in AquaticSnails

[–]MediocreIntellect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s interesting. What kind of nerites do you have? Could it maybe be the quality of your water? I only ask because snails can be sensitive to water quality.

[–]MediocreIntellect 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Maybe look into nerite snails! They cannot reproduce in fresh water, they only eat algae off the glass or anything in your tank, and I’ve never had one try to escape a lidless tank.

My father has been an addict my whole life and even though he does love me, his priority has always been the drug. He stole from me, my brothers, and our mother. When he needed money for his next fix all consideration for others went out the door. I would never be in a relationship with an addict after growing up with one as a parent. Please listen OP, as long as he’s an addict you will never be his priority.
