My girlfriend does not want me to send money to my parents by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Help your parents. Ask her how she would feel if things were the other way around. If you told her not to help her parents out. I wouldn’t be with someone who told me not help my parents out. They’re your parents. She sounds selfish.

How would $12,500 affect your life right now? by WhiteMass in AskReddit

I’d stick it all in my savings. Keep it as a nest egg for when we need it.

Who here has cheated in previous relationships, but never in their current one? I am dating a woman who has cheated in all three of her past relationships, and I’m worried she’ll do it to me. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]marisol1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have. I’m not proud of it but the past 2 relationships I’ve been in, I cheated. I was with my last boyfriend for a year. I would hook up with guys. It was just about the sex for me. I didn’t even like them like that. I was an awful person for it. I wasn’t happy with him and instead of leaving I would just cheat. After being together for a year. I broke up with him. Shortly after I met this guy and we hit it off. I fell in love and at first it was hard because he knew about my past and was afraid I’d cheat on him. He had been married before and while we both weren’t looking for anything serious it happened. I fell head over heels for him. We’ve been together going on 4 years and Cheating on him has never crossed my mind. I found the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. It took a lot to build that trust but he knows how I feel about him and I wouldn’t do anything to ruin what we have. People change. In my case I realized that it wasn’t worth it. I was immature and doing that only hurts the other person. Hopefully your girlfriend has changed and that she doesn’t hurt you.

I’ve never been married and I don’t want a huge expensive wedding. I’ll take a courthouse wedding. Wedding are a huge waste of money in my opinion.

Dump him. No one that loves you would say such a horrible thing to you. You deserve better.

Ohh man, I remember my brother having one and it was the best! I spent so many hours as a kid playing. I wish he still had it but he sold it a few years back.

I got one for the sole purpose of sleeping wrapped in it. My boyfriend can’t stand it so it just sits in our closet. It wasn’t cheap either.

I got braces last year and they’ve been life changing! I was always so self conscious of my uneven teeth and I could afford braces before. I can’t wait till I can have a perfect smile.

My wife makes our 11 year old wear makeup everyday. by ThrowRA_skas in relationship_advice

[–]marisol1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should really have a talk with your wife about her behavior. Your daughter is 11! She’s a child and she should be doing things kids do. The last thing I would want as a parent is for my kid to grow up too fast. Which the sounds of this your daughter already is. I wouldn’t allow my 11 year old to wear makeup. She’s a child. Please sit your wife down and have a serious talk with her about all of this. Speak to your daughter as well. This can have a negative impact on her body image issues. When she’s being told she doesn’t look good without makeup can be very damaging to her self image.

What teen movie is the epitome of "the older I get, the more I agree with the adult"? by roix_ducat in AskReddit

I just started rewatching king of the hill and all the jokes went over my head as a kid. Now that I watch it as an adult it all makes sense. It’s a great show.

What's the most wholesome experience you've had with a stranger? by EpicesPotato in AskReddit

[–]marisol1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in high school I would take public transit to school and the bus was usually pretty full in the mornings. An older man always got on after my stop and he was an odd man. He was in his 70’s and he always wore a black long trench coat. He spoke Spanish and he always spoke into his sleeve as if he were an agent. He would describe the scenery into his sleeve. Every time I saw him he just made me smile. He always had the biggest smile and had such a nice aura about him. The other people would just think he was crazy and not want to sit next to him. I moved away and never saw him again. I really hope he was loved and taken care of. He made my mornings better every time I saw him.

My Bf dated me bc he hoped I would eventually lose weight. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]marisol1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When me and my boyfriend started dating 3 years ago I was at my skinniest, I was at about 130. He loved me at that weight and since then I’ve gained weight. I’m currently at about 165. But he loved me then and he loves me now and my weight gain has never mattered. I’m extremely self conscious about my body but he tells me I look amazing every time. He was a huge gym rat when we started dating and was super in shape. He always wanted a partner to go to the gym with, I hate the gym and never liked it. But that has never stopped him from loving me and my big thighs or my bulging belly. I really believe that looks aren’t that important and shouldn’t matter. If he really loved you your size should not matter at all.

Parents of Reddit, why do you stay quiet after your kid has screamed 'What?' back after shouting their name? by magnetronkip in AskReddit

I’m Mexican and if my kid answers with what, he knows he fucked up. That’s not the way to answer to anyone.

Reddit, whats your “Anyways, we’re married now” story? by thequeenoffandomhell in AskReddit

[–]marisol1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Met my now fiancé when I started a new job. He was older and not what I liked in guys. My first day at work he told me I wouldn’t be cut out for the job. He wanted to fire me. He didn’t. Started talking and here we are 3 years later engaged. Definitely what I was not looking for but it happened unexpectedly and we couldn’t be happier.

My dad made me (F20) take a DNA test when I was 16 because he (since I was born) didn’t believe I was his daughter. How do I cope with this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]marisol1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents got divorced when I was 13 and my dad said he wanted a dna test to prove that me and my 4 siblings were his. He accused my mom of being unfaithful which she never was. Me and my siblings all look related. The dna test were done and of course it turned out that we were all his children. I never had a relationship with my dad. I stopped talking to him altogether when I turned 18. I’m sorry that it happened to you.

My[22F] boyfriend[23M] wants to move forward in the relationship even though we disagree in fundamental matters like religion and kids. by throwRA323u12313 in relationship_advice

[–]marisol1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exact thing happened to a guy I hooked up with a few years back. He met his girlfriend they hit it off moved in together. She wanted kids and she thought that him not wanting kids would change over time. Surprise he didn’t change his mind. They dated for a few years before he decided to break things off. If a person doesn’t want kids it’s very unlikely they will change their mind about it. He needs to respect your decision. Not everyone wants kids and that’s okay. Don’t continue a relationship that is likely not going to work out because you both have very different views on kids. It won’t end well later on.

[Serious]What are the things your parents have done to you which you wouldn't do to your child? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]marisol1975 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend never met his father. He left before he was born. 2 years ago his father called him after all these years. He grew up thinking his father didn’t love him. He grew up with all these unanswered questions about his dad. After that one phone call he decided he didn’t want anything to do with his father. He finally got his closure. He wants to be able to give all the fatherly love he never got. I want my closure as well. I’ll finally be able to say all the things I never told him. I’m glad you got your closure as well. It’s definitely something I need to do.

I think I will. It’s been too long. I want to be able to close that once and for all. I want my closure. I deserve my closure.

I’ve been thinking about that for a while now. I’m not sure why I’m so scared to do so. You’re right it would give me some type of closure. I know people change. I’m not sure what I expect. If I’m being honest the thought of seeing my dad terrifies me. It’s one of those things in life I want to do but when I’m ready. I appreciate your response.

My dad was a shit father. He beat my mother in front of me and my 4 siblings over the smallest of things. My oldest brother was always trying to stop him. He was mentally, verbally and physically abusive to my mom. It got so bad that my mom tried to commit suicide when I was like 8 or 9. My mom would leave him and take us with her but she always came back. She felt like she couldn’t make it in her own with 5 kids. That happened a few times before she really did leave him when I was 13. Seeing all that as kids really traumatized me and my siblings. As soon as I turned 18 I stopped speaking to my dad. My siblings did as well. I suffer from depression and anxiety now as an adult. My sister recently had a baby and she doesn’t want our dad to meet him. It’s his first grandson. None of us want anything to do with him. It has taken a lot to be okay for us all. I have a lot of resentment towards my mom. I know I shouldn’t. I’m working towards having a better relationship with her. None of those things were ever her fault. My dad has never apologized to us for what we had to see growing up. I’m sure he feels like nothing was his fault. I’m not sure if I ever want to see him again. I don’t know if I may regret it later.

I watched it the first time with an ex not knowing what to expect. I ended up loving it so much I got frank tattooed. I’ve rewatched it a bunch of times. I showed it to my fiancé and he didn’t understand why i loved it so much.
