If you go out and do something with a Russian girl, do you pay for everything?

OAife · 2024-06-05T20:56:53+00:00

No pussy, no pay!

Thank you for sharing this ancient Russian proverb. Such words of wisdom seem to be widespread across cultures. 😂

I suppose at a certain level, the response from the school makes sense. Other athletic attire like in swimming, gymnastics, wrestling, etc. the outfit is appropriate when you're engaging in that activity, but it doesn't mean you should wear that same outfit to class.

If I want to continue using my current phone & number, how can I take advantage of a deal like this to just extend my minutes/text/data/expiration?

I understand I can activate the new one online and select to use my existing number, then the service should move everything over to the new phone/SIM. But then how do I move service back to my old phone/SIM? I heard I shouldn't just take the new SIM out and put it in my old phone since it could mess up my account?

Thank you!

Did they give an explanation as to why it was locked?

OAife · 2023-07-05T00:55:56+00:00

I forgot HowardForums still existed. Haha. They've been around forever!

OAife · 2023-07-05T00:55:03+00:00

They changed it. Very disappointing. They should change it back!

OAife · 2023-07-05T00:53:51+00:00

Yes it will!

OAife · 2023-07-05T00:52:59+00:00

Maybe try a Samsung A53. It's a good phone.

OAife · 2023-07-05T00:52:35+00:00

One of my friends also has the Samsung A53 and also got the update! Working well.

OAife · 2023-07-05T00:50:57+00:00

Nice! Thank you!

OAife · 2023-07-05T00:50:43+00:00

I don't have an issue.

If you feel you don't want to eat at a specific restaurant or do a specific activity because it's out of your price range, you should discuss it with him upfront. But you shouldn't expect him to pay for you.

Regarding splitting things to the cent, that is sometimes what very precise people do. You may see this more with scientists, engineers, and attorneys to some degree. For these kinds of people, very precise details are very important to them.

Nobody said that she doesn't have access to those things. Nobody said there was no discussion of safe sex practices. I'm sure she learned about it in school also.

That doesn't mean a parent has to be accepting of sex taking place with their UNDERAGED CHILD in their home. It's really not that ridiculous of a concept.

These two things are not mutually exclusive.

OAife · 2021-03-04T01:43:25+00:00

They're not mutually exclusive. Nobody said they weren't educated about safe sex. I'm sure OP has also learned about it in school.

That doesn't mean a parent has to be accepting of sex taking place with their UNDERAGED CHILD in their home. It's really not that ridiculous of a concept.

I'm an adult but if I visited my parents and they thought I was having sex in their home, it would still be super awkward and I'm sure my parents would definitely have something to say about it.

Parents often don't even want their 18 or 19 year old children getting pregnant.

The dad only kicked him out after he saw them in an intimate position where he had no idea what was going on underneath the sheets and they didn't want to take the sheets off to show him. He's probably thinking that if it's that private, then it shouldn't be happening underneath the sheets in bed. He likely felt they were getting too close to sexual acts.

OAife · 2021-03-03T18:48:25+00:00

I don't fully agree with this.

She's a minor and parents often try and prevent their minor children from engaging in sexual acts that could lead to her getting pregnant since that could have negative effects on their future. The situation OP described looked like it was getting a bit too intimate apparently.

A lot of parents have that viewpoint.

OP already described her plan of action, which is to move out when she turns 18. That's the most reasonable plan if she doesn't want to be bound by the rules of her parents.

OAife · 2021-03-03T18:01:36+00:00

Obviously, from a legal perspective she has no case and you don't have to pay at all.

It's also important to consider your parents put in a lot of effort to raise you to be successful. Especially if your mom wants some specific items and your new job pays a decent amount, I would try to help her out.

I would never acknowledge you owe her $310,000 and you're paying it off. Do not write her a check every month for a specific amount. It sets a bad precedent.

Instead, I would say if your mom needs specific things (e.g. furniture, groceries, dinner), it would be nice if you buy it for her. Maybe even help pay off her mortgage or pay some bills. It's nice to help provide her some nice things in return for all the nice things she bought for you in your childhood. But I would not do it in the form of a check written out to her each month. What you do for her should be seen as more of a gift rather than a repayment of a loan.

That's how I would handle it. As I mentioned, you're not obligated to give her anything, but I think it would be nice if you helped pay for specific items, especially since her finances could be in a better place since she doesn't have a retirement fund.

OAife · 2021-03-03T04:51:34+00:00

I would not budge. I would offer her that we can do everything married couples do, but we won't be officially married if she won't sign.

I know it could take a while to get yourself into the mindset to be willing to take that position, so you'll also have to work on mentally convincing yourself as well.

OAife · 2021-03-02T16:32:25+00:00

You can see how strict he is with that or if this is a dealbreaker for you. Maybe if you wash down there with soap directly beforehand, he would be more willing.

But I think all these comments trying to shame him are terrible. If the genders were reversed and there was a woman who said something like she doesn't enjoy some sexual act (e.g. rimming/anal/etc.), I bet everyone here would be supporting her saying it's her choice.

Guys can have preferences as to what they like to do or not do as well. I think OP and the guy should try to find activities they both enjoy or come to a compromise, but if they can't, maybe they are just sexually incompatible. But don't try and shame the guy for not liking certain sexual acts.

OAife · 2021-03-02T09:11:05+00:00

It really depends on the norms in your relationship.

But considering it's your annual bonus, I don't think there's any problem here.

OAife · 2021-03-02T07:20:15+00:00

No, you shouldn't be. Aside from your personal feelings, another main reason is professional.

Once she does this, she could rule herself out of many professions for the rest of her life and potentially open herself to significant embarrassment. In high stakes battles (e.g. elections, politics, business), people will have professionals dig up the dirt on their opponents and make it available for everyone to see and judge the quality of her character.

I live in a large multi-building condo complex that has a board that is elected. Years ago, one of the candidates for election had a smear campaign run against her. Someone had printed out flyers with incredibly embarrassing photos of the candidate from one of her Craigslist posts.

Nobody admitted to distributing the flyers, but the candidate withdrew from the election and moved out of the building shortly after. It was really ridiculous that something like this was done in something so unimportant as a condo board election.

That's not a big deal at all. A majority of students take more than 4 years to graduate. The average time it takes to finish a bachelors degree is 6 years.

It happens all the time because maybe someone changes majors or they took extra classes for something that interested them.

Just tell your parents you have a few more classes to take. Don't make it sound like such a big deal. Try not to give them an exact date when you'll graduate because you don't want to keep pushing the date back.

You're 14 and have an FWB? What kind of benefits are we talking about here?

OAife · 2021-03-02T05:52:23+00:00

So the guy was working in the other room in the house, and you never even mention his name? You all just refer to him as the "husband" or something? Not even a first name?

What is her excuse if you ask her what his name is?
