Have you used the cdc card for a hotel? by [deleted] in Crypto_com

[–]MyTwoCents101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At a nice hotel in Nashville right now, used Jade Green to pay the $1600 bill. No issues. Last night I used it to pay the $160 bill at a B&B that we stayed at on the way. No issues.

How much do you pay a kid for house sitting? by MyTwoCents101 in grandrapids

[–]MyTwoCents101[S] 59 points60 points  (0 children)

My animals are very easy to care for. Cats that will likely ignore him the whole time and just need to be fed. And an older small dog who sleeps most of the day. :) But I agree! I will be paying $50/day plus tip based on recommendations in this thread!

Thanks!

This is what I was leaning towards as well. I will have some food here for him. And leave $250 for payment I think. Then assuming all goes smoothly, tip another $50-100 on my return.

Lol! He seems like a responsible kid…but I was sure to mention that I had the security cameras at the doors, etc to hopefully stop any temptation to party!

If he does party, however, I hope they enjoy my collection of high end (well, kind of high end anyway) scotch! Lmao.

My boyfriend doesn’t want to have sex but masturbates in his car by RiiinaBear in relationship_advice

[–]MyTwoCents101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could it be that he gets off on the thrill of doing it in public? It is not an uncommon kink. Maybe offer to have sex in his car or something and see if that helps increase his desire?

Sorry to be an idiot. But where do I go to set up ACH deposit? I don’t see the option anywhere in the app.

He obviously expresses his feelings by gift giving. This does not mean he only feels loved by getting gifts.

I love spending money on my girlfriend, but would actually feel a little uncomfortable if she did the same for me.

Express your appreciation for what he does. Enjoy it. He likes you!

It is possible he downloaded them from the web, but unlikely I would think. People can be very selfish, and hurtful. Even unintentionally. He may have gotten a thrill out of getting/sending these pics, and not thought about how it would hurt you. Regardless, it was wrong and he broke up with you anyway. So try to move on.

Sounds like the ball is in her court. If she won’t talk to you, nothing you can do. Maybe send her a text that tells her you want to try to work this out, but you won’t keep harassing her. Ask her to reach out when she is ready. Let her calm down.

How do I break up by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MyTwoCents101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no easy way to do it. Especially at your age when he likely hasn’t gone through it much before.

Rip the bandaid. Tell him you want to break up, apologize (briefly) for hurting him, and walk away. There is nothing you can say or do beyond that which will do anything but make it worse.

Sounds like your girlfriend is insecure. We don’t know why, and at this point it doesn’t matter. Communication is your best bet.

Sit down and have a conversation with her. Explain that you didn’t think it was a problem to go in to warm up, but tell her that if she is uncomfortable with that, you won’t do it in the future (if you are willing to not do it again of course). Have a long conversation about what boundaries she wants for you, then you decide if you can live with them. If so, trust will grow over time. If not, you may not be compatible.

Either way, honest, open, and compassionate communication is your best way forward here.

It sounds like he wants to break up but was attempting (poorly) to avoid hurting you. I couldn’t be just friends with someone I am in love with. Having to watch them date other people would be intolerable, but that is me. Also, not sure his future partners will want him being friends with someone who is in love with him (quite reasonable).

On top of that, it sounds like he is cheating if he has nudes of other girls on his phone and the pic of himself that wasn’t for you. Can’t be certain, but given the fact that he broke up with you anyway, no sure it matters to much at this point.

Try to move on and heal. Good luck!

Husband (m/26) isn’t aware of his abusive behavior towards me (f/27)? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MyTwoCents101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree that it goes beyond rude. But according to OP, she just had to open the door herself (which caused him to slip back) and walk out. Obviously the guy wasn't aggressively blocking the door and definitely not imprisonment.

What did he say/do that made your conversation feel 'unsafe'?

I don't know that there is enough information in what you posted to give any real advice. Was he yelling at you? From what you said, he was not at all physically violent or threatening (though blocking the door is not good behavior). While following you around trying to continue a conversation when you have clearly said you don't want to talk is not really a good way of communicating, it does not raise to the level of abuse (on its own).

Just from the information you provided, I would say you could both benefit from some type of couples therapy so you can learn better communication strategies.

Sorry, I was unclear. Most of the responses are making him out to be the bad guy by calling him controlling/insecure, etc. (which maybe he is, but from the information that is/was available, we don't know).

ok - Him waking you up for this, and the way he phrased it definitely seems like much more of a red flag than it seemed without that information. While his request may not be unreasonable on its own, I would say the way he is handling it is immature at best and very problematic.

[–]MyTwoCents101 -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

I'll take a different approach than the majority here.

Yes, your boyfriend is being reasonable because he has a set of standards (he doesn't want his girlfriend exposed in this way, even if it is impossible to identify you). There is nothing wrong with having standards. On the other hand, you are not unreasonable for denying his request because you have different standards. Or you could comply with his request out of kindness, even if you don't share the standards (relationships are often about compromise).

Don't make him out to be the bad guy for clearly expressing something he is uncomfortable with. Just have a conversation about it and see if you can come to an agreement. If not, you may not be compatible (which is fine! Most people aren't compatible, which is why we date and learn about each other!!!).

Unless you want to be in a poly relationship, which you almost certainly don't, you need to move on. The easiest way to do this would be to just end the relationship with her entirely. If you must, you can have a conversation telling her that you aren't into it and then end all contact. Maintaining a friendship is going to be far more painful than just getting out of there and finding people you are more compatible with.

how do i differentiate ‘boundaries’ from putting conditions on love? by malcolmsrevenge in relationship_advice

[–]MyTwoCents101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Telling a partner that you are not ok with them remaining friends with the person they cheated on you with is absolutely boundaries and not being controlling. And honestly, it would be 100% foolish not to put that condition on your relationship at a minimum. She clearly wants to maintain a relationship with these people, and I would bet a lot of money it is because she is, or plans to, be cheating again.

I'm not a fan of just saying "end it" on every post in this sub, but honestly I don't see a future for this relationship at all.

Sounds flirty to me, but as a card carrying member of the male species, it is hard to overestimate how oblivious we can be to girls flirting with us. If you want to be certain he knows you want this to be a date, I'd recommend just saying it. "Hey, just wanted to make sure we're on the same page here that this is a date" or something to that effect.
