RelationshipI recently moved in with my boyfriend (after dating about a year). The problem is that he has two large labs that sleep in his bed every night. Now, I like dogs, but I probably don’t qualify as a dog person by Reddit standards. Anyway, sharing a bed with them is too much for me. The hair, drool, etc is just not want I want in my bed. Anyway, my boyfriend apparently thought I would get past this...
RelationshipSo back in August I met this girl (we'll call her Jessica). Jessica and I started talking a lot and in early September we started dating. The relationship was pretty casual. We go to different schools so I would only get to see her on the weekends. Most of the time we would watch a movie or get food together. From what I could tell we were both pretty content with the direction the relationship ...
RelationshipBefore any of you start freaking out at me, I want to say that I fully support both women and men asking for consent before getting touchy or s*xual with another person, and I would never in my life think about treating another person that way. Now that thats out of the way, the AITA moment. I've been with my girlfriend for the last 8 months. In this time, we've slept together, been s*xual togeth...
OtherAfter spending Christmas with my GF of two years and her family, I decided to take a boys trip to a friend's cabin for NYE - which my GF has repeatedly encouraged. She'll be spending it at home with friends or family. Recently, she mentioned that she'd like me to call her when the clock strikes midnight. I hesitated because I would find it rude to excuse myself from the party with old friends, p...
OtherMy neighbor and I used to be good friends. We would shoot pool together and drink beer. We didn’t really get drunk, but just enough to have some fun and relax. I got a job working night shift about 5 months ago and our friendship fell apart. We were never joke together so we just stopped talking. While we were still friends, he always respected the fact that I had to sleep during the day and woul...
OtherAs I said, my daughter’s 11 and her friend group ranges 11-12. It’s mainly girls but there is one boy that I have seen around. She’s having a sleepover to celebrate her birthday this weekend. She invited the boy to the party but the plan was (or so I thought) that he would leave around 10 pm. The boy’s mom called me last night to confirm that the boy (I’ll call him Tom) could sleep over. I said ...
OtherEvery year since I was a child, Thanksgiving has been held at grandma's. In 2012, my step-uncle took advantage of me being blacked out drunk, came into the room I was pa*sed out in, and m***sted me. It took years to get over it. My whole family still talks to him, as if it never happened. Pretty sure no one believes me. This man lives in another state. So fast forward to this year, and a week b...
RelationshipI am 26(f) and my husband is 27(m). Over the past few weeks, he has had a hard time waking himself up. He would typically get up himself when the sun rises or set an alarm on his phone, but he hasn't been doing either of those things recently. For the past 2-3 weeks, it seems that he's become more and more reliant on me waking him up. I will admit that I am a little sensitive when it comes to fee...
RelationshipBF (m/33) and I (f/about to be 34) have been together 3 years. Last year, he totally dropped the ball and planned nothing (not even a card). This year, I heavily suggested (aka, planned) what I wanted to do... Starting with, we stay up Thursday night and watch the meteor shower and then stay home together from work on Friday. I figured we could sleep in, just enjoy each other, maybe get breakfas...
BoundariesNew semester, new roommate. My roommate tends to sleep at 11ish while I sleep at 3-4, usually stud**ng doing hw etc. When he's sleeping I make sure not to make much noise, but I always keep my desklight on because the brightness helps me concentrate and see. I also made a small mound/wall of bed covering/pillows to try and make things dimmer for him. From my point of view, having only my desklig...
RelationshipSo me and my girlfriend got into a big fight last weekend. It ended with her dumping me and storming out. The next morning I go to the gym and this INSANELY hot girl that I have become friends with is there as well. She can tell I am a bit depressed and asks what happened. So we are talking and she eventually gives the, "oh you poor baby, you shouldn't be alone tonight" sp*ech. This was pretty ...
OtherAnyway, I want to first say that me and my gf have been dating for some years in a LDR (Moving in together was a WIP), and I have complete trust in her, which wasn't easy to get as I'm quite a paranoid and jealous person in general. Som**hing else that's important to know beforehand is that while I enjoy talking in vc, she claims not to, and we agreed on typing for the most part, with very occasi...
