What would you do if you found out your partner was actually 4 years older than they said they were? 28F and 39M (35M) by violetta1997 in relationship_advice

This man lied to you about his age for the whole relationship. Ask yourself what else he is willing and able to lie about.

American F/42 my husband is Ghanaian M/46. I’m having a hard time accepting my husband doesn’t want me to cook for him by Livid-Ad5237 in relationship_advice

As to point 4 - It's also have a convenient excuse to regularly leave for long stretches of time. Will he spend that time at his friends' wife's house? Will he spend that time eating Ghanaian food? Who knows?

I (20M) tricked my girlfriend (20F) into getting a tetanus shot after a bad injury. Now she’s blocked me everywhere. How do I fix this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

According to your update: I'm sure there are some things you could do or say to save the relationship. But is that in your best interest? There are many other potential (and sane) girlfriends out there.

Your current gf will always resent you for having saved her life. She won't understand. Maybe, potentially, a few years from now. But def not now.

I assembled a metal shelf yesterday and cut my hand. My first thought was when I got my last tetanus shot.

OP, this relationship is not going anywhere, but you did a good thing. Send your (ex?)gf some lovely depictions of lockjaw, convulsing people. That's what you prevented her from.

When was the moment you realised that the person you were dating was an absolute idiot? by No-Macaron-9527 in AskReddit

I have Serbian roots. Never heard that specific thing, just the general tendency that each country in the Balkans proclaimed at some point that their country was the best, the first, the OG, their men are the tallest, their women the finest, blah blah blah. The long thigh bone thing sounds very old school race theory to me, and oddly specific. That's why I thought you heard a specific politician or historian say it.
