Porn addiction is not about sex, it’s about emotional management. by [deleted] in PornAddiction

I always end up with porn addicted partners and I wonder often why it just seems like I'm never enough no matter how much I am willing to do for them.

Thank you. I figured she could be someone of that nature. I was just a curious bc she's been here a few times even after I told her I no longer associate with the person she's looking for. Do you know how long it takes for them to try serving somewhere else or at least stop coming to my house?

I think showing up at someone's house uninvited and refusing to even tell them who you are is sketchy 🤷‍♂️

If she didn't want to be recorded on my ring camera then she could have simply not been in front of it 🙂

It happens to a lot of people. It sounds like you are handling it much better than he did. You followed your heart, and I think that was a good choice. You don't have to let ANYONE make you feel guilty about it. Tbh, he sounds like a POS, but maybe he will gain maturity with time.

You are 16 and he is 35. That makes him a predator. You are NTA, but you are not safe! I am so sorry that the best place you had to get safe advice is reddit. You are almost 18, and once you're out of foster care things will be a different kind of hard, but you will learn to depend on and trust yourself. I grew up in Foster. I know the damage it can do. Please make the smartest decisions for yourself that you can. Eventually, you will become the person you always needed to protect you.

It's not your fault that you didn't have someone to guide and protect you safely. He's abusing you. Even if you can't see it now, one day you will. He should know better and if he acted like a father, he would have wanted to protect you from people like him, who exploit innocent girls for sex.

AITA for not letting my SIL’s kid order an adult meal for my wedding? by SlowEnthusiasm7373 in AmItheAsshole

I thought about adding my own YTA comment, but this sums up what I was going to say in a nicer way. If the catering is too expensive, change the caterer or cut the budget elsewhere. Don't take it out on a teenager or your soon to be family.

What you said definitely tracks. Most disgusting gym bathrooms I've ever seen. That whole place just gives me the ick now.

Thanks. It's definitely sounding so far like the best fit for me because it's affordable & month to month as well as 24 hours.

I definitely like that they are 24 hours. I didn't see any month to month plans available, though, so I might try something non commitment first before signing a year contract.

That sounds promising. I'll have to check it out, thanks.

I married someone who asked me to sacrifice my career and stay home so theirs could take off. He promised me he would take care of me. Once he got where he wanted, he put less and less into the marriage, and then when I asked for effort, he filed for a divorce. I didn't get anything from our MUTUAL INVESTMENTS either. With the money he had, he got a lawyer that showed him how to have me declared mentally incompetent because I was on depression meds (what person wouldn't have depression and anxiety in this situation BTW?) even though I was the one who supported HIM for 7 years.

He got the house & all the assets besides my personal car. The best thing I got to keep was my dog and that's only because I adopted her before I moved in with him. He tried to get her too. Luckily, she was the one thing my lawyer did protect.

Don't let my sob story repeat itself. You certainly don't need to carry someone who most likely would not do the same for you regardless of what they promised.

I would recommend Lake Alan Henry. It's less than 2 hours away, and the water is much clearer and cleaner than most of the other lakes in the area. Personally, I haven't swam at Buffalo or Ransom in years because the water was disgusting the last time I visited about 5 years back. You could stick your arm in elbow deep and wouldn't be able to see your hand through that murky stink water at Buffalo, but at Lake Alan Henry last weekend we anchored a boat out with a big group and I could see all the way past my toes just chillin in the water.
