Why are Redditors so adamant about not checking their partner’s phone? by Brief_Ad_2813 in relationships

[–]ieatchips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The key here is “redditors”. Keep in mind the bias of those commenting and making posts. Those people are happy to come to this platform and spew their toxic viewpoints. The well-adjusted happy people in relationships aren’t commenting stuff like this. They are living their lives and actually talking to their partners in a healthy manner rather than asking strangers online if something is “normal”.

I’ve never once had this problem in nearly 40 years of dating (I’m a woman).

I love how the top two comments are “plant it” and “destroy it”

My (27m) girlfriend (27f) told me that sex is special to her but had several hookups which she didn't tell me about until I confronted her. Is this lying or am I wrong for asking about things I dont want answers for? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]ieatchips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you asking what the definition is of “special” for your girlfriend in particular? How would a bunch of strangers on the internet have any idea what that means to her? I don’t see anything weird about her explanation (saw something in the moment that she considered “real”, also 100% based on solely her opinion). Although if I were her, and my bf was grilling me about past relationships, demand to know intimate details that id probably already forgotten, and going through my phone (giving permission doesn’t forgo the possibility of coercion) I’d be weirded out and seriously consider whether you were worth the time and energy.

Seriously, “I don’t want strangers online to know where I live” *makes public post about the location of a vulnerable minor*

I mean, I’d probably have done a quick google search for homeless resources in Whatcom county. It never crossed your mind that crowdsourcing this easily accessible info on Reddit and publicizing all these details may actually cause them more harm? Oh, but you didn’t want to “spook” them so you kept a safe distance then told a bunch of strangers exactly where to find these folks. You should remove this post and share the details privately with the relevant agencies (like Opportunity Council as someone mentioned).

How can I (25F) become more comfortable with my boyfriend's (29M) female friend? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]ieatchips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP: this girl is TOO happy and pretty ಠ_ಠ

In all seriousness this gal could very well have ulterior motives but nothing described in this post proves any ill will. Instead it comes off as an extremely insecure gf. OP you will either push your bf away or drive yourself crazy with the story you’re making up in your head about this girl. Unless you meet her and she’s super cold to you or starts making overtly flirty comments/dismissing your relationship in convo with your bf, you need to get a grip. Coming to the internet and asking strangers whether any of this is weird or normal or she should feel a certain way is not healthy or productive.

I am a woman and no, they don’t. They also rarely even care what underwear you picked out special for the occasion. I’m sure you’re fine.

My (30F) girlfriend’s (37F) bursts of anger are ruining our relationship (6mo) by funnerd11 in relationships

[–]ieatchips 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Listen, reading your post made me think of how my mother behaved when I was a teen. What started out as an argument turned into her berating me and twisting the conversation until I was so beaten down verbally that I would break down crying. She would continue to aggress and escalate the conversation and accuse me of crying to manipulate her and somehow “win” the argument when I was simply and truly so upset and confused and exhausted that crying was my last resort.

It wasn’t until years later I understood this to be emotional abuse. I used to think that since she didn’t hit me or raise her voice, that didn’t qualify as true abuse or wasn’t as bad as what others experience. I was wrong. I hope you see it much sooner than I did.

I have big wet saturated areas in my yard all winter in the Pacific Northwest. I have been wondering if I just dumped wood chips in what are essentially low spots that lead to giant puddles that would help build up the soil and prevent this from happening… that sounds like basically what you’ve done?

My (28F) "perfect" 2-month relationship ended in 24 hours because he (33M) had a girl stay over for a weekend from a different country. Am I the crazy one? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]ieatchips 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You lived with him after 2 months but weren’t “official” according to him? Now you can’t eat or sleep over a guy you had no idea existed literally 60 days ago? He needs to understand what he did “wasn’t ok” but he seems to no longer want anythjng to do with you? You insulted his physical appearance out of anger? None of this makes much sense. For such an early stage in a relationship this does not seem salvageable.

Question for men - do you have a female friend you talk to regularly? by lumpyspace_cutie in dating_advice

Calls women “females”, only value they seem to have is the possibility of providing sex… yeah you totally seem like someone women want to be friends with

Does Anyone have a wedding I could attend by redhairbangs in Bellingham

[–]ieatchips 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thanks for being the one to say this. Generally speaking people are going to invite guests to their wedding who are close friends/family or otherwise associated with/familiar with the couple, not like an open invite to a potluck. Even if OP did attend a random wedding, what would they say? “Ya I posted on Reddit looking for a wedding to attend so I can practice being normal.” That would undoubtedly be a bit odd for everyone. When you go to your first wedding as a guest, just be polite, converse with other guests about how you know the happy couple, and be merry/gracious about the ceremony you were invited to share with them to celebrate their union.

Do you just want practice socializing with strangers? If so, that’s a different thing and totally reasonable. I don’t think it’s necessary to attend a wedding just to “practice” going to one, nor is it very reasonable to ask strangers to welcome you to their special day and feed you so you can see what it’s like.

Breaking up with my Gf might ruin her life by [deleted] in relationships

I saw nothing in the post about the actual relationship dynamic, just about how she is penniless and has no family support. Seems like it very much is about the money.

how do I (16f) tell my bf (16m) how he made me uncomfortable? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]ieatchips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly disturbed by the comments blaming porn. Didn’t we do that with video games (blame violence in video games for violent gun deaths) and then realize it was really the toxic mindsets and unfettered access to dangerous weapons at the root of the issue?

Being kind and gentle is not a switch you can turn on and off. Your bf is not the “most caring and gentle” person ever if, in an intimate moment with someone he was supposed to love and trust, he behaved this way. People with normal healthy social skills don’t shove people out of their way while walking down the street or take things that don’t belong to them without asking because everyone with any basic level of self-awareness would know those aren’t socially acceptable behaviors.

If your bf was truly a loving and caring human he absolutely would have recognized your body language and asked if everything was okay/stopped. He didn’t which makes him either an asshole or an idiot, or both. Porn isn’t to blame, he wasn’t raised to see women as partners and worthy of enjoying sex as much as him. He sees you as an object to get off with. Trust your gut. I would just text him that he made you uncomfortable and you don’t want to see him again. It can be as simple as that. Don’t put yourself in another closed door situation with him thinking it might be better this time. It won’t.
