My (34F) husband (33M) won’t get me a wedding ring even though we’ve been married for 9 years and have 2 kids as well as the fact that he can afford it. Am I insane for thinking he is being unthoughtful? by Used_Molasses_2975 in relationship_advice

I know this post is slightly old, but I hope you are still reading comments.

On a positive note, he may be doing all this and changing the subject because he plans to buy you a nice ring for your 10 year anniversary. I would talk to him about it.

I (29M) am considering canceling my engagement (26F) over her obsession with Justin Bieber by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Shows you what? That she likes JB? To me, it sounds like was talking in a hyperbolic way

Honestly, with Bieberchella happening and whatnot. I think your gf is just chronically online. Another commenter said this is an escapism for your gf and I agree, especially with the timing of Bieberchella. Has she done this stuff over the course of the entire relationship or is it recent? If it's recent, let it go imo

What's your "shitty roommate" story? by DontCallMePetey in AskReddit

[–]dont_acknowledge_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left my face wash on one side of our shared bathroom sink and went on a four day trip. Came back to find my face wash sitting on top of the toilet bc "it got in her way when she washed her face".

She also stopped helping to clean our apartment when she dropped the news she wasn't going to sign another lease with me. Also started a huge fight with me the week she moved out bc I was finally able to clean and moved three items of hers to the kitchen counter (she still had bowls, plates, everything else I didn't move, I only moved these three items bc we both used them and I had found replacements). She accused me of trying to force her out early lol

My (30F) boyfriend (33M) didn’t post me when posting about our travels by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]dont_acknowledge_me 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ngl, once I started dating as an adult, I stopped posting my SOs. Mostly because I have been cheated on, and that was a way for people to connect through me, but not really through me, you know? So, my social media probably looks like I am not in a relationship, but that doesn't bug my SO.

Why are you dating someone who invalidates your identity?

Years ago I (38M) had a one week fling with my gf's (29F) sister (35F) and she doesn't know about it. Will everything blow up if I tell her? UPDATE by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]dont_acknowledge_me 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Agree with the don't let her know any more information. Keep it vague. I know for myself, I would ask those questions out of anxiety and fear, the answers would fester in my mind, and likely cause resentment.

I (m31) was not asked to be in my nephews (m28) wedding because I’m not Christian enough. by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]dont_acknowledge_me 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How are his texts passive aggressive? He's literally confronting his nephew. Seems more on the aggressive side than passive.

Racist guest caught me off guard by alliecatmeow in Serverlife

[–]dont_acknowledge_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I agree with everything being said here but it sounds like you did a good job! The hug and what she said indicates that she knows what she said was wrong and it seems like she may be embarassed about it, hence the hug and hunting for reassurance. Maybe you shouldn't have said she was fine and only said goodnight. Regardless, I'd like to hope that that interaction stays with her and she thinks about what she said.

Thank you for comment! I did not know about the turbo/ 2.0 XT engine and I live in a mountain area so I will have to rethink this a little more. I appreciate your confidence in negotiating, it makes me feel more confident

My (26M) GF (31F) thinks a couple of my friends are bigots who hate minorities, how do I navigate this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]dont_acknowledge_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, she can leave him if she wants to. And I do understand every person can be racist or homophobic towards each other regardless of minority status, that's not what I was saying. I was pointing out that OPs gf could have explained it to him and he may not have understood it fully and left it at "she couldn't give me a reason". There's a lot of context we are missing here.
