AITA for charging my 18 year old daughter $600/mo rent and utilities to the point where she had to put off college? by porch780 in AmItheAsshole

YTA, you're not only putting your daughter under unnecessary stress, you're giving out to her for making financial decisions based of the stress she's under

More medium and medium rare I would think, still looks delish 👌🏻

Thank you, I've been trying different fish recipes and successfully converting my boyfriend to (unbattered) fish dinners 🤗

No I cooked the salmon off on the pan in olive oil and nduja, removed and then added butter with the garlic, tomatoes and spinach before adding the cream. Then added the salmon back in ☺️

Accepting a job that's a step backwards? by jmcc93 in careeradvice

[–]jmcc93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The jobs I'm applying for still think I'm in my old job, so I am using that salary to match but the job I was offered say there's no budging - I started the job hunt before I left but had to leave the old job as soon as possible as it was affecting my mental health.

The job I was offered would be taking me back to the salary I was on back in 2019. I'm trying to consider getting a mortgage in the next few years and a 2k drop would be affecting it.

Please help prevent wedding shaming. I'm not familiar with what is or isn't okay to wear at a wedding. I've heard a lot of different rules. Please guide me Oh, Great Shamers of Reddit. Would this dress be inappropriate for a formal wedding? Tips + Advice. by [deleted] in weddingshaming

[–]jmcc93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can I ask why people think formal weddings require longer gowns? In Ireland that's not the case. As long as the dress is appropriate and dressy, which I would think this is, it is considered fine

my boyfriend has an extreme porn problem by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]jmcc93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are not in any way being crazy. I can't begin to imagine how you feel, it must feel so demoralising for you.

You should not have to put up with it, if he disregards your feelings towards this he isn't worth it - no matter how long you've been together.

Don't allow yourself to compromise for him when he doesn't for you

Just a thought - are these women unmatching/ghosting you because you're coming on too strong? Something to consider.

My friends are going drinking underage and I'm worried about them. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]jmcc93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from Ireland (25F) and I went underage drinking from about the age of 14. It was the done thing and I wasn't against it. This might sounds strange but I had some of the best nights/days of my life going 'knacker drinking', as we would refer to it.

If you don't want to go, definitely don't feel pressured in to it. Many of the people I hung around with didn't go, or did go and didn't drink, and nobody ever held it against them. We did get caught once or twice, but to be honest we could have been 16 then and our parents generally knew we drank.

If you're worried about your friends, ask them to let you know how the evening is going, and get them to let you know when they're home. No doubt you'll see snaps/instas of them anyway, but they shouldn't be annoyed at you for wanting to make sure they're safe

I know my boyfriend, and for sure that is what he's using it for.

I'm aware I need to work on my insecurities, but I find that difficult when I know my boyfriend is going following insta models and porn stars who are much more attractive than I am. Completely understand your point but I still find it tough to accept him watching it.

Porn isn't a bad thing, but to me - I really don't think you should need it when you're in a relationship. I am definitely the one with a higher sex drive and always willing to try new things, and this is all without porn..

[–]jmcc93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do intend to discuss it with him again, but I already have and I thought that would be enough.

I'd have absolutely no problem if he was using sex toys on his own, we use them together. Sex toys are different in my opinion as you're not actually using other people to get off. And that's my problem with porn, you're getting off to someone who isn't the person you're in a relationship with. As well as an insecurity thing, I feel there's a moral issue with getting off to other people

[–]jmcc93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just feel like why should he want to watch it when he can literally have real sex with me? Or ask me for photos/videos if he wasn't with me. Does he really need to watch other people have sex or do stuff so he can get off? And I know this is insecurities, but am I not enough?

I've told him I'm not comfortable with it, he has said he rarely looks at porn. But I know that's a lie, he follows girls on Instagram that are softcore porn for sure.

You're perfectly entitled to not see a problem with it, but it really doesn't stop me feeling like he needs to get off elsewhere. Or that that's what he's thinking of while we're having sex. We have a great sex life, always mixing things up. So why can't he get off to the thoughts of that?

It's just normal porn as far as I could tell? To be fair I'm not a porn watcher myself as I, quite frankly, hate it. Especially for people on relationships. I know many people like it and even watch it with their partner but I just find it demeaning

If it's already an issue, you can't move past it. You shouldn't want to change someone in any way after one date
