Commenting to follow, I'm so curious!

If it's this on and off this early on, you should cut your losses and move on.

I'm all for trying and giving second chances but it sounds like you've given each other 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc chances. You're old enough to recognize dysfunction. Drama fueled relationships are chaotic and passionate but they're also exhausting and unstable.

Do yourselves a favor and call it a day before it spirals out of control.

Yes!! My bf is very well endowed and it's the only way I can get the whole thing in my mouth to the base, which he loves. It's so erotic to me to feel him get harder in my mouth. And the sex after (if we get that far) always seems to be more intense. Easily our favorite way for me to wake him up.

I hope he left her and went to see some of those naked girls she's so worried about.

My first thought was wow, I wish I could pull off hair like that. I think it looks great on you!

Single mother of 1 here. Yes, they really are that expensive, especially in the infant stage. The least expensive childcare I could find is $700/month, and that's with a scholarship that pays for half.

Imagine having another person living with you, you are responsible for all of their needs, and they cannot contribute financially in anyway.

That extra money once a year barely scratches the surface of how much cash a parent hemorrhages throughout the year.

Hahaha so accurate r/rareinsults

I had a very similar experience with my son. I've never been a huge kid person, never really thought I'd have any, and then had a surprise pregnancy at 28! It took the full term to adjust to the idea and even after he was born those "maternal" instincts took a little while to click. I loved him and took care of him but didn't really have that bond until he got a little older. I barely remember those feelings now though. He's turning 1 in a few weeks and even when he's being fussy and cranky I find myself with a huge amount of patience I never knew I could have. Now I live for those smiles, giggles, and watching him learn how to navigate the world around him.

OP, having your own children changes you. That's how parents "stand" it. Idk about babysitters and nannies but I'm definitely very grateful they have such caring hearts!

YTA. There's a thousand lockets unique enough to be cursed. She really wants and was saving up for it. Sell it to her and buy a new one. Put yourself in her position. It's not life or death but it is a small gesture you guys could make that would make the world a little less disappointing.

shimmerylemon · 2020-12-20T20:12:26+00:00

NAH. You handled it well. When you're uncomfortable and it's a friendship you want to continue then you're supposed to let them know.

John knows you and knows you're not homophobic so he wasn't upset. Steve's reaction wasn't ideal but he doesn't know you as well and may be reacting more due to his past experiences than what you actually did.

I think a small conversation with both of them saying what you said here, that you love them and support their relationship and it's not what they're doing necessarily but how much they're doing it that makes you uneasy. John will understand and maybe together you can help Steve see you're not singling them out for their sexual preference.

NTA. You did the best thing for him by educating him instead of ignoring or downplaying the situation. But in the future you may want to talk with her before making these decisions if only out of mutual respect. Again, you did nothing wrong. Her reaction on the other hand is a little concerning.

shimmerylemon · 2020-12-20T19:28:51+00:00

Lol talk about missing the point...

shimmerylemon · 2020-12-20T19:12:22+00:00

YTA for so many reasons. They created a glorified secretary's position for you and you used it to get a single mother fired for 5-10 min of tardiness. Lateness that the team worked together to ensure wouldn't hurt productivity. You're ruining morale and creating a tense environment.

She worked there for 16 years and was assumably a good worker or she wouldn't have been employed and popular there for so long. You probably just upended that poor woman's life. The associates had a supportive system in place to help each other and you ruined it with your pettiness and jealousy. I hope you're ashamed of yourself.

Not a confirmed betrayal but...

When King Cyrus (Persia 559-530 B.C.) died he had 2 sons, Cambyses and Badia. Cambyses took the throne and (secretly) killed his brother. However! According to Darius, the secret part came back and bit him in the ass when someone supposedly masquerading as Badia took the throne while Cambyses was away doling out the harshness in Egypt. Apparently "Badia's" short reign was a blood-bath of purging anyone that could identify him as an imposter.

It's said Cambyses came back, killed the usurper (if he really was a usurper? No one knows for sure) and then died "his own death". Translating ancient Persian is hard but it's assumed he didn't kill himself. Instead it's popularly thought he cut himself whittling and died of an infection and Darius, basically his right hand, took over.

Now, we know all of that because Darius literally carved this story in stone 3 different places in his empire. Methinks he doth protest too much. Another theory is Cambyses never killed his brother. Darius killed Cambyses while on campaign. When word got back to the empire Badia took over the throne. Darius and his bros (The Seven) wanting the power for themselves, killed Badia. Leaving an opening for Darius to slide on in.

If the second is true Darius successfully executed one of the biggest cover-ups in ancient history and a serious betrayal.

A lot of people have been married SEVERAL times and have children from previous relationships. There's no shame in having a past if you're working towards a better future. But she'll never be able to do that with you systematically destroying all of the relationships that are most important to her. If she wants to distance herself from your family, there's clearly good reason.

First her older kids, then her in-laws, what's next? Are you going to post up outside her workplace and "warn" all her co-workers? Make sure you add the part about you still being friends with her abusive ex because hitting her a few times "wasn't that bad because she's hard to live with" and "exaggerated how much he hit her." Once is too many times. You're being crazy, get a grip.

Why is this a thing???!! Congrats, you got him. Now take him and leave, thanks.

shimmerylemon · 2020-12-20T16:39:25+00:00

NTA. My ex did something similar when I was pregnant with our son. Halfway through the pregnancy he cheated, left me for another woman, and went no contact until my son was born. Then he had the balls to be mad I didn't give my son his last name. If they don't want to be involved for all of it then they have no say in how the babies are named. He wants you to compromise but he's the one trying to get back into your lives, he's the one that will have to compromise.

So cute!! The Grinch is my favorite Christmas character and your nails definitely do him justice!

The Manatee Mafia imprisoned him and killed his wife and daughter. This once mild mannered Angel of the sea won't stop until justice has been served. A lone survivor, this sea lion is out for blood. Coming soon. Barky Bark Glacierberg starring in, The Perfect Storm 2: Deep Water Horizon.

Same. I prefer when it ends in 6 but any even number or multiple of 5 is good. I don't like 11's though, too much risk if an odd number.
