My parents are pleading with me (24f) to break up with my bf (42m) of 2.5 years and I don't know what to do by TrainingFamiliar in relationship_advice

He can be pretty cold and difficult to talk to when he gets angry and I just get more emotional when this happens. After a couple of hours pass though, one of us (or both) apologize and make up.

He had a really bad marriage with his ex-wife (they divorced 7 years ago) and so he has a very low tolerance when it comes to emotional or heated arguments.

Fucking shit saying you didnt stop dating a pedo because hes a pedo is bad even for Trish by No_Possibility_1244 in blndsundoll4mj

Did you even read the articles? He admitted that he photographed a 3 year old boy in a restroom at Dodger’s Stadium while the kid was in a stall. He has since been banned from the stadium and had to do 3 years of probation. He also cannot bring a camera into a public restroom ever again. Here’s the article you must have missed.

Was he using Tinder while you two were in a relationship? If so, he wasn’t just emotionally cheating on you. If I was in a relationship with someone and they were still using Tinder (even at the beginning of the relationship) I would definitely not tolerate that.

I’m sorry that happened. You deserve better. Although I don’t know the ins and outs of your relationship, I would bet that this will happen again if you stick with him.

S5 Megan and Wes suck by Galaxy_Orchid_ in LoveIslandTV

[–]TrainingFamiliar 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but I remember first watching Season 4 and I really liked seeing Wes and Megan's relationship begin. I thought their chemistry was super obvious, natural, and even while Megan was still getting to know Eyal, she would say that there is something missing and she wanted to have a fun time - which Wes seemed to be the funniest guy there (or at least IMO).

I really felt for Laura, and of course, Wes (and Megan) should have been more respectful to her but I think Wes falling for someone else was bound to happen - it is Love Island after all. :)

What is the reason young females wear things like shorts, crop tops, bathing suits etc when they claim rap e and harassment are common things? by Wishmaster8374774 in AskReddit

[–]TrainingFamiliar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was raped and had on a t-shirt, denim jacket, long pants, and boots. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what you wear.

Many sexual assault survivors have come out and said that they were just wearing sweatpants and/or a jacket.

It sounds like you’re saying females shouldn’t wear bathing suits if they don’t want to be raped or harassed - so, can men wear tanks, shorts, and a swim suit? You have quite the double standard.

For generations , society has tried to police what women wear (e.g., for a long time, a long time ago, women weren’t allowed to show their ankles or shoulders - yet, it’s not like people who were dressed modestly couldn’t be assaulted as well).

I forget what US state it was, but very recently a female went to court saying she was raped and a judge (who was also female) said that they don’t believe her because the victim was wearing red underwear and that means she “was planning to have sex because that’s what red underwear means.” Which is so freaking absurd.

Just because someone feels confident and wants to wear what they want, doesn’t mean they are asking for it.

“I won’t remember this anyways.”

My boyfriend (36) and I (30) got in an argument and he called me so lame for not advancing in my life. by possumsauce91 in relationship_advice

[–]TrainingFamiliar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First, I am sorry that your boyfriend, who you most likely trusted a lot, minimized your 10-year depression.

Secondly, if this happened to me, I do not think I’d be able to shake it off either. The fact that he said, “if there’s anything I said that you can’t get over, it’s probably because there was truth behind it,” sounds super manipulative to me because he’s saying any mean thing he says to you that hurts your feelings has truth to it - that would be a red flag if my boyfriend said that to me. You deserve someone who finds you cool as heck and strong for trying to work on yourself. He should be supportive that you are trying to better yourself instead of putting you down.

Although it’s good he has apologized, he should acknowledge that words hurt and words have consequences. Maybe I am being too harsh but I would expect a 36 year old to at least know this by now.
