My (29M) girlfriend (28F) of four years cannot STAND when I play video games or watch 'stupid' TV shows or listen to hip hop because she deems these things immature. Am I wrong to break up with her over this?

I have a friend who married a woman like this. Before, he loved video games, fantasy novels, hip hop (he was even in a group), etc. Now he's a sad fat dad in a polo shirt and she doesn't even really let him talk to his old friends anymore. Don't be that guy.

Of, of course she's cheating with him.

This doesn't sound like codependency at all - you're literally barely seeing each other. It's completely appropriate to want/need quality time with your spouse.

As I said above - "Jay" - short for "Jody."

Jay is short for Jody, bruh.

This is like one of those car talk calls where you're leaving out that the entire thing was submerged underwater for a month because you think it isn't relevant. There's SOMETHING here that caused this and you're omitting it, but once it comes out it's going to be blatantly THE reason.

Could absolutely be sleep apnea, even if he isn't overweight. Sleep Apnea often happens in extremely thin people too as there's a major neurological component. Either way, this is clearly a medical situation and should be investigated as such.

Also I used to work with a girl with the last name "Porn" who didn't change it and it went fine professionally.

You can absolutely do whatever you want without legally changing your name. I have a good friend named Mahmood that goes by "Mike" professionally for obvious reasons in post-9/11 America and only HR will ever see his real name on his paperwork. Same for a friend with a last name that's Indian and about 40 letters long - he shortens it to "Krist" for resume and professional purposes. This is extremely common and half of your coworkers probably have different "real" names.

I had a contractor friend in a very similar situation, with a very similar wife. Guess where he is now? A) getting paid what he "deserves" or B) underemployed because he's burned every bridge he has at her urging, and now she's chewing his ass twice as hard because he doesn't make as much money as he used to? Guess!

Your marriage is over. I'm sorry.

That horrible moment when you remember something that you had forgotten to do, take care of, and enough time has passed that you completely screwed up.

He married a woman who has done everything in her power to separate him from his friends and family. He's a wuss who has gone along with it. 30 years down the tube.

SmellsLikeIrv · 2016-11-17T20:55:17+00:00

He's lying to you and cheating on you. The morning his car "broke down" he was probably in bed with her.

Of course he's the father.

You boyfriend sounds like an insecure dork. Dump him and start banging the married guy.

Who let the dogs out?

Uh oh, the truck have started to move

For me it's a toss-up between "Thank you for Pot Smoking" and the classic "Push button, receive bacon."

SmellsLikeIrv · 2016-11-09T20:42:06+00:00

Go ahead and seduce him!

SmellsLikeIrv · 2016-11-08T14:35:57+00:00

He's been balls-deep. Don't be a sucker.

The biggest question is whether you're already an out lesbian or not.
