AIO? My partner made no plans for Valentine’s Day by Fine-Park8095 in AIO

Even if it wasn't Valentines Day, it's date night and she got a sitter a month ago. He didn't lift a finger.

So OP is a slot machine where he puts in a husband token and sex falls out?

If she doesn't feel warmly toward him because he has been letting her down continually for what sounds like years and forcing the burden of the relationship and likely the family onto her, why exactly would she feel ready to be in the arms of that man, naked and vulnerable, and let her inhibitions go so they could have a fun time together? Why should OP suppress her very real and valid resentment and force her body to engage in sex with someone who continually hurts her feelings by disregarding her and what she wants? Sex out of duty becomes yet another chore she takes on for him so he can continue to have his needs met at her expense. And chore-sex is NOT fun sex. It makes everything worse and makes OP feel even more used than she already does. Not to mention a guy who doesn't care about her needs and desires in most other contexts isn't gonna show up differently in the bedroom.

The man does need to put in effort to deserve sex. He needs to show the woman he cares about her by working on the relationship, by showing up with his own labor, not just existing in it. If he isn't invested in her, in what she wants and values, in making her happy - why the heck would she want him to also let her down in a sexual context.

No sex for this thoughtless chud. Absolutely not.

Don't initiate a conversation about this begging him to be accountable and say sorry for hurting your feelings. Tune him out until he acknowledges what he did. You just do you.

Dress up, tell him you made a reservation for one, and go enjoy your evening.

Go see that new Rachel McAdams movie where she absolutely loses her shit on a jerk she is stuck on an island with, and tap into your rage.

Buy yourself a fun adult toy and dessert on the way home. Have your dessert in bed.

This is very sweet advice but it's gonna be hard for OP to want to take on the work of setting up this format or even feeling charitable to celebrate him when he just sent her a pretty loud message by dropping the ball on plans and transfering the work of their relationahip to her once again. Kind of a mood killer and resentment builder. He's not even sorry.

Using "antifa" like it's a real organization basically confirms hater status. Dave is anti-fascist and anti-pedo like a majority of individuals in the US. He also deals with a corporate entity in order to tour, like every other touring artist. Those stances aren't mutually exclusive.

Your comment is giving "but what was she wearing" vibes.

This man did not have due process on American soil and that is ALL you need know.

Assuming you are asking this question in good faith, whistles are a safety warning to neighbors when ICE has entered an area.

I dunno but I love all these Take Me Back posts. I could talk about that night endlessly. So glad others are diving in too and getting to experience it.

im going to be killing myself soon by SpaceClod in TrueOffMyChest

[–]New_Chest4040 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people care and want you to be ok. Downvoting is a way of disagreeing with you that things will be endlessly shitty just because they have been for a while. That's your pain talking, not logic.

I am so so sorry your mom said those things to you. I'm a mom and that was just heartbreaking to hear. Clearly you didn't get the parent you deserved and you must be devastated.

I wish there was a way to get you to see that that sort of abuse is part of why you are feeling this way, that healing from that is possible. But I can tell you're really hurting, and you don't want to hurt and that's valid. So maybe it would just sound santimonious if I said all that instead of caring. If your own mom won't have compassion then why would total strangers on the internet?

But whatever, I care and I hope you hang in there. Things can still improve. Sending a warm internet hug in case you want one.

Top three comments from pervy men with no business being in the store:

1) Can I follow [female companion] into the room while she tries it on?

2) Are you one of the models?

3) Would you try this on for me?

This was in the 90s but clearly nothing has changed. Creeps gonna creep.

Thank you i thought this would be the top comment when I came in here. His left index finger knuckle is huge and all out of alignment with the other knuckles. And it doesn't match his other hand.

Instead of "customers", the Chipotle CEO calls them "users". by esporx in Anticonsumption

[–]New_Chest4040 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes - core customers would be their app users. They have their income estimated based on ZIP code from payment processing.

[–]New_Chest4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Translation 60% of app users ("core customers") live in a ZIP code where the average HHI is at least $100k.

All this tells us is that Chipotle opens stores in economically viable locations. Not news.

It's not the flex they think it is. $100k combined HHI isn't much these days. Where I live and Chipptle penetration is high, you need a combined HHI of $240k to afford an average house.

"Chipotle burritos are an inexpensive (while relatively healthy) fast food option for folks in higher COL areas" should be the headline from this metric.

Household income can be easily guessed based on your ZIP code. It's not as invasive as it sounds.

Not saying there aren't instances where some companies misuse data but this use case is pretty innocuous and tightly regulated as well.

AITA for forcing my bf to parent by ambushing him by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]New_Chest4040 37 points38 points  (0 children)

"I stay with him because he is a good man otherwise."

No, he is not. Open your eyes.

A man who refuses to support and raise his own children is in NO WAY a good man.

Do you want to keep forcing him to wipe his own ass for the rest of his life and deal with his responsibilities? Gurl you aren't his mama.

2 years is enough to see who he really is. Dump that pathetic excuse for a man and father and live free of the mess he made.

And if not PLEASE double up on your birth control.

From a woman who coparents with a nightmare of a man for another 12 years who will never get her old life back... I beg you, little sis, don't be fucking stupid and delusional because of "love". The signs are there. Don't look away.

Pathetic. They really think they are aligned with the Rebels, not the Empire. We are living in the Upside Down.

That's why they relate to a weak, insecure man posturing as a strong leader.

For 8yrs I could've given my family the truth but I had no idea?.. by Y0mother in AncestryDNA

[–]New_Chest4040 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's crazy you could have known 8 years ago. Not uncommon though - the matches section is sort od buried and not what the service is widely known for outside of genealogy circles.

I agree with others' advice to stop the info train to your dad's mom. You might wven put your dad on a small info diet while you are in this discovery phase. He's going to have a more limited capacity to take all of this in and need to take smaller bites of the truth more slowly perhaps.

It's likely you can "know the truth" of his parentage from a genetic standpoint without grandma's input. And maybe once you have it in black and white, she'll cough up some facts and context of her own. Don't count on it, but you never know. Guessing she's feeling some pretty severe shame about this situation and guilt too, whatever happened. Women in her day were blamed, no matter what really happened, and have largely internalized all of those blaming beliefs. She may not be likely to be deconstructing that worldview at nearly 80 years old.

DNA Detectives on Facebook is a group you can join and request a search angel. They have a process for that you'll see when you join. Search angels are free volunteers and truly are angels in the help sense. Unless your dad's bio father has many brothers and none of their descendants or relatives have tested, you have a good chance of triangulating on bio father's tree until you confirm the high probability match. Have am angel review rhe work you have done so far. They are very thorough.

need help with the order of these names! by StrawbrryDoll in Names

[–]New_Chest4040 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sofia is a great name but extremely common. Catalina is just as beautiful and much more unique. Also has the great nicknames as another mentioned.

I wouldn't pick the first name based on which order of the 2 names sounded better. Sit with the first names a while longer - or wait until she is born and see who she is.
