2023.06.10 19:19 Time_Size8635 Argument with boyfriend because he was texting another girl
My boyfriend (27M) and I (23F) had an amazing argument because he was texting another girl
I think I just broke up with my boyfriend. We have been not been together too long, about 5 months.
We were about to go out and I had his phone for a second to set up the wifi again. His phone buzzed the notification pops up. It was a girl and she had texted “when love I am in bed” so immediately I confront him about it and gave him his phone. And he’s like oh just my friend in another country.
I said “oh okay can i see the message, why is she calling you love?”
Then he’s like my word isn’t enough, “do you not trust me?” And we had a whole conversation about how uncomfortable that message made me and his unwillingness to not show me the context of the text if it was nothing.
I don’t care he has friends that are girls, I do have a problem that this girl is calling him love.
Mind you when we were talking he kept making excuses to use the bathroom or go to his car while in the middle of the conversation. I assuming he was attempting to delete messages from his phone or trying too.
After an hour of talking and telling him how uncomfortable that message made me feel and put some doubt into the relationship for me.
BTW I have never went through his phone or was suspicious of him. I thought it was reasonable to request to see the message and context of the conversation.
The conversation begin to be about how I didn’t trust him and shows my lack of faith and is disrespectful towards him to interrogate him like this.
Eventually he showed me the thread it seemed like they hadn’t talked since Monday. It was just a brief conversation they had today. But she is using heart emoji’s and calling him love. There is really nothing suspicious on his end. But i told him I did not appreciate him allowing her to call him love and kinda flirt with him.
Mind you he is holding the phone the whole time.
So I start scrolling up a bit. And see a message from him saying “you’ve got me all fired up 😍”
Before I could even ask he pulled the phone away and accused me of invading his privacy and taking things to far because I began to scroll.
I asked him about the other message and he claims to not remember what it was about.
We obviously had an argument because he was asking me to just trust him but honestly I couldn’t do that at that point because everything was so suspicious.
I asked him to leave my house because we were arguing and it just felt like the situation was more than it needed to be.
I felt like this was reasonable request to see the messages given the situation.

2023.06.10 19:17 hilzaberry Advice American F dating M Afghan
I am uncertain if this is a good place to ask for advice but I hope you all can help!
Background - I’m a childless, never married 36 yo American female in Washington DC. A 9ish months ago I met my 36 year old boyfriend who moved from Afghanistan in 2010. He told me that in Afghanistan is was working as an attorney and was known for being one of the only lawyers in the country who represented female clients in the courts. After the American withdrawal, his work put a target on him. After failing to convince his immediate family to leave with him, he left on his own, discovering later his remaining family had been executed. He is the only surviving member of his family. Since moving to America, he has become a full citizen and is currently working towards becoming a practicing attorney here. My boyfriend appears to be extremely open and interested in everything to do with American culture. His views on topics regarding women’s rights, sex, gender identity, religion and social family structures all are extremely progressive and liberal. He seems to sincerely enjoy learning about everything and isn’t showing any stubbornness to resist changes.
Question- I have lived internationally and have dated men from various other countries. I am very open and understanding to alternative cultures and beliefs, but Afghanistan is by FAR the most restrictive/secretive countries out there. I struggle to educate myself on what cultural norms, traditions and so on my partner was raised around that would carry over into family life. As we get progressively more serious in our relationship I am becoming more vested in learning. Boyfriend is able to communicate certain stuff from a male perspective but things like explaining the full details of an Afghan wedding ceremony, traditions around child birth/raising kids, and additionally important details is lacking. Anyone out there have some good advice for me so I know what I am getting into a little more? I love him a lot and if we do end up together, it is important that understand and embrace his culture as much as he is understanding and embracing mine! I am currently attempting to learn Dari in hopes that it will also help.
Appreciate any advice! Thanks all!!

2023.06.10 19:17 youngb0ystr8 20 [M4M] first read the whole post. University Dom looking for sub online (DM OPEN)
Hi guys, Im a str8 university student Dom, Im BRA and Im 20 years old. I m currently single. Some time ago I decided to enter the world of domination, because I love it when they obey me and do everything to make me happy, even if he is not. I've been trying with a few men for a while, but haven't found any for long term or TPE, mostly just sessions and honestly I don't really like just sessions.
So I'm looking for guys who were born to be sub, their only intent is to please someone, looking for an obedient and loyal guy who will do whatever I say and wherever I want. I'm looking for str8 guys, military, married, fiancé, boyfriend, newbies or guys addicted to stroke/cum who need control. As for body type I want lean, muscular, fit guys, I don't really like chubby but if you think you might be a good sub, send a body pic you might be accepted. My kinks are chastity, humiliation, orgasm and bladder control, cbt, swearing, denial, edging, cumplay, assplay, toys, TPE, among others. I like to command everything about you and be obeyed, many times I can be rough and rude, but if I deserve it I know how to be affectionate and give compliments I want to maybe talk about everything. No, Im not here to exchange nudes with you, being used for my pleasure is reward enough. So as I said in the beginning Im not looking for sessions, so if you want that don't message me. Don't waste your time or mine. One more thing I'm not one to chase after anyone so if you just view my message or wait for me to send you something, you can forget about me because I found someone else. So be willing. If you think you fit the profile, send me a DM with an introduction about yourself, your kinks, limits, asl, pictures of yourself and tell me more about it. I hope to hear from you my (maybe) future little boy.

2023.06.10 19:17 Rumdedumder The reflective yellow leash
So, a light-hearted story for All of you. I have a service dog that went to work with me for about two years. While we were at work I put a yellow reflective 8ft lead on her while she was behind the counter. I would be away from the counter for a decent portion of the day so she had to be tethered or kenneled. A co worker tripped over the lead once when it was pink, so hence why the lead is reflective safety yellow. Fast forward to today, a week ago we added a rescue to the family. and my boyfriend has been walking her on the yellow lead. He comes to me, upset because no one would walk near him. Couples would stand to the side, and dog owners would cross the street. My poor boyfriend thought he was scary. Then I told him that a yellow lead typically means reactive, give me space. We both had a good laugh, and im genuinely impressed with how well educated the public in this area is. A+ all around!
To all of you out there struggling with reactive dogs, we love you and thank you for making a difference for them!
Tldr: my boyfriend was walking our puppy with a yellow lead and was sad because people were avoiding him.

2023.06.10 19:16 Additional_Owl_6894 I don’t know how to tell my parents I’m going on vacation with my boyfriend and his family!(help)
Hi this is just a throwaway account but I really need help with this. I 20F (almost 21) need help on telling my parents that I’m going on vacation with my boyfriend (22) and his family. We are going to Hawaii for his mom birthday. This pretty relevant but we are long distance and we met before we started dating and I knew his cousin funny huh. My parents are very overprotective and I told them if I’m able to go on two vacations one with my friends and another other people. They said yes! Which made me happy. I thought I would be able to talk to them about it more later on since it was nerve racking enough to ask them. But I’m that moment my mom was asking about my vacation and I was only talking about the second one and talking about my friends that I’ve known for 5 years and how we are all women in the age of 20-22. But then since I took all my energy to talk to my mom about vacation I just went in a rant about how much I love them and I’m excited to see them.(my mind just started went blank) I guess my nerves got the better of me and didn’t realize that my mom was thinking that both vacations are with my friends… and it hit me when I went to my room and I started crying. Realizing my mistake I didn’t know wha to do but to call my friends. I talked to my therapist about it and I always try to say something to my mom about it but I can’t get the words out. I’m too scared to say anything now because I read these crazy Reddit stories or hear stories of how their parents just throw them out. I don’t know how to tell my parents are what to do. Any advice would be so helpful!

2023.06.10 19:10 Jaded-Ladder-4541 Suck in a love triangle and need advice. 21 F 23 M
Have you seen the office?? Text book Jim, Pam, and Roy. If you haven't seen the office a coworker I work with has feelings for me and I do too, she found out because another co-worker who knew. she confronted me and told me that she felt the same and has for a year now. She has a boyfriend though. I felt about that it got leaked and she said they had been on the rocks for a while now, and if she really loved him fully, then she wouldn't have fallen for me. I am trying not to be selfish and not give advice because I am biased when she talks about it. She is nervous and not sure what to do. Although everyone tells her to leave him since hes just not there for her and doesnt seem like he cares if she's there or not. I really wanna be with her but it's her decision. I'm just worried the more we talk the more we both fall more with eachother and If she decides to stay it's gonna kill me. She said she wants to give him another chance since she has been with him for so long. She seems very interested in me and everyone says she talks about me all the time.

2023.06.10 19:09 epiclindsay My 7 month old cat is bullying my 1 year old cat :(
Hey y’all I need some advice.
About 2 months ago, my boyfriend and I adopted a friend for our cat Francine (1 year 1 month female cat). Dream (7 months old male) seemed to be a sweet boy. When we met him he was purring us and hugging and head butting non stop, we thought it’d be a great fit. Francine is a very relaxed, easy going and affectionate girl.
We bring Dream home and do a slow introduction. It took about 1 week of them being in separate rooms for the hissing to stop and aggression to go down.
Things seemed fine but as time has kept going, I’m worried that Dream is bullying my sweet Francine :( and I’m really worried it is taking a toll on her happiness.
I play with Dream 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour at night, he’s very active and both my boyfriend and I play with him as much as possible. We have a pheromone diffuser on each floor of the house. Multiple litter boxes, cat perches, scratchers, etc.., but he exhibits some of this behavior that is only getting worse:
- he terrorizes Francine. She’ll be laying on her cardboard toy being so peaceful and napping, and then he’ll come sit on top of her and bite her, kick her, or aggressively groom her. He will do this right in front of my face after an hour or so of playing with him.
- he swats and tries to bite me with any contact at all, unless he’s in time out for terrorizing my other cat. If he’s in time out he will hug and purr like crazy.
-he will go to any of Francine’s toys and try to destroy them, even though I have literally two of everything in my house so both cats have a fair shot.
I have tried so hard to be really equal with them in terms of attention, love etc.., they are polar opposites. I love both of my kitties so much but I feel like Francine is just being bothered an unnecessary amount.
I also worry that Dream is really stressed out for some reason, he just went to the vet and was perfectly healthy. I can’t tell if he’s a bully or just being kitten.
Should I separate and try to reintroduce them? Should I talk to my vet? I just want my fluffy babies to be friends and for both of them to be happy.

2023.06.10 19:08 --maciej 28[M4F] UK/London/Europe - nerdy guy looking for his other half
Edit: pictures of myself are on my profile. Also, I had a few women reach out to me wanting to be just friends. I'm not looking for that, please only reach out to me if you are seeking a serious relationship and attach a picture of yourself in your initial message, I'd like to know the person I am talking to :)
_______________________________________
Hello there! :p
I'll try to make this short and to the point.
Who am I looking for?
I'm looking for someone I can connect who shares in my passions and views, someone I can enjoy life with, all its ups and downs, the sweet and the sour moments. As for more specific personality traits, I really adore someone that is caring, loving, kind, respectful and open-minded.
As for appearance wise, while my main focus is on the personality for me, I'll be honest, I am not into very big ladies.
Who am I and what are my hobbies/passions?
I guess I am a bit of a nerd, at least that's what I've been called a few times. Though, honestly, I enjoy doing a whole bunch of things that bring me joy. Things like playing video games, watching anime, football, board games with friends, running in the park, exploring, watching documentaries on YouTube, tinkering with computers, listening to popular music from the 70's, 80's, 90's, early 2000's, etc.
Actually, I'll note down few specifics here, too:
- Anime: The Seven Deadly Sins, SAO, Record of Grancrest War, Angel Beats!, The Dragon Prince, Legend of Korra
- Video games: Skyrim, Fallout, Dishonored, Sims, Pokemon, CoD Zombies, Borderlands, Mass Effect and more
- Sports: football, badminton, tennis, squash, volleyball, running, riding on a bike
- Movies: Marvel movies, DC movies, Matrix, Daredevil, Star Wars, The Lord of The Rings, Avatar and more
- Drawing: Lately I have started exploring digital arts and even made a small design for a small project of mine, but the project is still in early stages so can't speak too much about it XD
As for my passions, I feel passionate about gaming, animals, technology and football - particularly the Champions League - to put it all succinctly. I understand if you don't love football or tech, it's all good, I don't expect you or anyone to be into every single thing that I am into!
What can I offer you?
Hmmm... I can be your personal tech support, I can be your fitness partner, I can be your chef if the need arises, I can be your essential boyfriend pillow you cuddle at night, just to name a few. But most importantly, I can be your special someone you can rely on and be there for you and support you because life is hard already as it is.
Though, back tracking a little bit, I admit that I don't know too many cooking recipes, but despite that, some of my everyday dishes are quite exquisite, like my delicious strawberry jam (or Nutella) pancakes, or my delicious spaghetti or my home-made BBQ burgers - just wanted to clarify that :p
Any deal breakers?
I only have 3 deal breakers:
- Smoker
- Does not like animals/pets
- Not child-free
Thank you for reading my post!
P.S. Did you catch my Star Wars reference "Hello there" ?

2023.06.10 19:05 InspectorTricky9653 1
Jenna sighed as she lay on her bed, feeling restless and unsatisfied. She had just come back from another failed date with yet another man who couldn't satisfy her needs in the bedroom. As much as she tried to be patient and understanding, it was getting harder and harder for her to hide her frustration.
She needed something more than what these men were offering her. Something intense, something that would push her to her limits and leave her begging for more. But where could she find such an experience? And who could provide it for her?
As she lay there, lost in thought, her eyes landed on a photo of her best friend Reese. They had been friends since childhood, but over the years their relationship had evolved into something deeper and more intimate. Although they had never crossed the line into a sexual relationship, Jenna often found herself fantasizing about what it would be like to be with Reese.
Reese was everything Jenna wasn't - pale-skinned, red-haired, and adventurous. She was always up for trying new things and pushing boundaries, which is why Jenna knew that if anyone could give her the experience she craved, it would be Reese.
But how could she ask her best friend for something so intimate and potentially destructive to their friendship? What if Reese rejected her or worse, laughed at her? The thought of being vulnerable and exposed like that was terrifying, but Jenna knew she had to take the risk.
Steeling her nerves, Jenna picked up her phone and texted Reese. "Hey, can we talk?"
Reese responded almost immediately. "Sure! Everything okay?"
"Yeah, I just need to talk to you about something important."
A few minutes later, Reese arrived at Jenna's apartment, looking concerned. "What's going on? Is everything alright?"
Jenna took a deep breath before speaking. "I...I have something to tell you. Or rather, something to ask you."
Reese nodded encouragingly. "You can tell me anything, you know that."
Jenna swallowed hard. "I want you to torture me."
There was a moment of stunned silence before Reese burst out laughing. "Wait, what? You're joking, right?"
Jenna shook her head. "No, I'm serious. I need this, Reese. I need someone who can push me beyond my limits and give me the intensity I've been missing."
Reese looked skeptical. "And you think I can do that?"
"Yes," said Jenna firmly. "I trust you, and I know you won't hurt me. Please, just hear me out."
Reese hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing. "Okay, go on."
Jenna explained her desires in detail, describing the kinds of sensations she wanted to experience and the ways in which she hoped Reese could help her achieve them. As she spoke, she felt a sense of relief washing over her, knowing that she was finally able to express her true self to someone.
Reese listened carefully, taking in every word. When Jenna finished talking, she paused for a moment before responding. "Wow, I didn't realize you were feeling this way. I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to share this with me."
Jenna let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you. It means a lot to me that you're willing to listen."
Reese smiled. "Of course. So, what exactly are you looking for here? Do you have any specific requests or preferences?"
Jenna thought for a moment before answering. "Well, I'd really like to explore some foot worship and domination. I've always been fascinated by feet, and I'd love to feel your hands on mine, worshipping them like they're gods."
Reese chuckled. "Gods, huh? Well, I can definitely make that happen. Anything else?"
Jenna bit her lip nervously. "I'd also like to try some bondage and spanking. I've always been curious about those things, but I've never had the courage to try them until now."
Reese nodded thoughtfully. "Makes sense. Those can be great tools for building anticipation and control. Anything else?"
Jenna shook her head. "Not really. Just whatever you think will work best to get me to that next level of pleasure."
Reese grinned mischievously. "Alright then, consider it done. I'll bring everything we need tomorrow night. Get ready for the experience of a lifetime."
The next day passed slowly for Jenna, who spent most of it anxiously waiting for Reese to arrive. Finally, when the clock struck 8 pm, there was a knock on her door. Her heart racing, Jenna opened it to see Reese standing there, holding a large bag in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other.
"Hi," said Reese, giving her a coy smile. "Ready for our little session?"
Jenna swallowed hard. "As ready as I'll ever be."
Reese stepped inside and set down the bag, pulling out several items including rope, nipple clamps, and a paddle. Jenna couldn't help but gulp at the sight of them, her excitement mixed with a touch of trepidation.
"First things first," said Reese, pouring two glasses of wine. "Let's start with a toast."
They clinked glasses and took a sip, letting the sweet liquid calm their nerves. Then, without further ado, Reese began the process of binding Jenna's wrists and ankles with intricate knots, leaving her lying face down on the bed.
Once Jenna was securely tied, Reese moved behind her and started massaging her shoulders and back, working out the tension from a long day at work. Jenna closed her eyes and reveled in the sensation of Reese's strong fingers digging into her muscles, relaxing her body and mind.
After a few minutes, Reese moved down to Jenna's legs, tracing circles around her calves and thighs before moving up to her inner thighs. Jenna squirmed involuntarily as Reese teased her sensitive skin, lightly brushing her fingers against her folds.
Then, without warning, Reese grabbed the paddle and smacked it hard against Jenna's bottom, making her yelp in surprise. Before she could fully process what was happening, Reese continued raining blows down on her ass, each strike eliciting a sharp gasp followed by a low moan.
Despite the initial shock, Jenna found herself enjoying the sensation of pain mixed with pleasure, her body reacting instinctively to the stimulation. She arched her back, begging for more, and Reese happily obliged, increasing the pace and force of the spanks until Jenna's entire body was throbbing with desire.
When Reese finally stopped, Jenna was left panting and drenched with sweat, her skin flushed and tingling. Reese leaned down and kissed her neck, whispering hotly in her ear. "How does that feel, baby? Are you ready for more?"
Jenna could barely speak through her heavy breathing, but she managed a weak "Yes" before collapsing back onto the bed.
Reese chuckled softly. "Good girl. Now, let's move on to the main event."
She reached for the nipple clamps and expertly attached them to Jenna's tender buds, causing her to writhe in ecstasy. Next came the foot worship, with Reese kneeling at the end of the bed and reverently kissing and caressing Jenna's feet, praising them as if they were divine artifacts.
Jenna reveled in the attention, closing her eyes and savoring the sensation of Reese's lips and tongue dancing across her skin. She wriggled her toes, delighting in the way they seemed to come alive under Reese's ministrations.
Before long, however, Reese switched gears again, removing the nipple clamps and replacing them with clothespins, sending waves of agony and arousal coursing through Jenna's body. She bit her lip to stop from crying out, loving the way the pain heightened her sensitivity to every touch.
Reese continued to play with Jenna's breasts, alternating between gentle caresses and brutal pinches, driving her wild with lust. By the time she moved on to sucking and biting Jenna's neck, Jenna was a quivering mess of raw emotion, desperate for release.
Finally, Reese climbed on top of Jenna and positioned herself above her mouth, rubbing her wetness against Jenna's lips. "Lick me," she commanded, thrusting her hips forward.
Jenna eagerly complied, diving into Reese's folds with abandon, tasting her sweet nectar and reveling in the sounds of her pleasure. Reese bucked and thrashed beneath her, riding the wave of bliss, until finally she exploded in a frenzy of gasps and moans.
Jenna lay back, exhausted but satisfied, as Reese untied her bindings and pulled her into her arms. They lay together in contented silence for a while, basking in the afterglow of their shared passion.
Eventually, Reese broke the stillness. "So, did you enjoy your experience?"
Jenna smiled. "More than I could have imagined. Thank you for giving me this."
Reese pressed a kiss to her forehead. "My pleasure, sweetheart. Anytime you need it, just let me know."
Jenna snuggled closer, already dreaming of their next encounter.

2023.06.10 19:03 ThrowRA-sting-ray My (F/32) Boyfriend (m/27) of 5 years refuses to make any positive changes to help improve our life and relationship
TLDR: he says he hates his life, he won’t accept help.
The background:
My boyfriend (m, 27) and I (f,32) have been together for about 5 years. He has ADHD and anxiety. He made a career switch last fall and he got his realtors license. I supported him through that emotionally and financially.
As we were warned when he first started the process to become a realtor, it is taking him a long time to become established. He does have 3-4 clients he is working with on a regular basis, but no luck yet with sales.
While he was getting his license and studying for the test, he quit his old job that he hated so he would have less stress and more time to focus on studying. Probably due to his ADHD, getting his license took a lot longer than he planned. He did not have any income during that time (about 3 months). After he passed his licensing exam, I practically had to beg him to get a part time job so he would at least have some income and stop going into further credit card debt. I tried to help him brainstorm options that I thought he would like and would be flexible for working as a realtor. He resisted for a bit and then suddenly announced he had a job in a local hardware store. He hates the job. And I feel like he resented me for making him get a job. They only give him his schedule a week at a time, and he isn’t allowed to use his phone while on register to talk to his clients.
Also of note, he lost his parents health insurance after his 26th birthday and has not signed up for any health insurance because it was “too expensive.” He has stopped taking his prescribed ADHD medication because it was “too expensive.” Which it was ridiculously expensive, but we did start using coupons to help with cost.
During all this, he has gained a significant amount of weight. I did as well, over the last few years, but am actively working on it. He has trouble committing to any lifestyle change for longer than a couple weeks. He tells me he is proud of my weight loss, but always follows it with a degrading comment about his own body.
He frequently tells me that he “should just go jump off a bridge.” He hates that he is “fat” and “poor.”
One of my flaws is that I try to solve everyone’s problems. So when he complains, I try to offer solutions. I’ve suggested helping him with his diet. That he can workout with me. That he find a second part time job to supplement his income. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people complain about something without doing anything to change the problem. He embodies this pet peeve lately.
I just don’t know what to do. When things are good, we have fun. We both love travel. We have a dog together. We live together. We have a great friend group. But I am at my wits end. I don’t know what to do. I am very tempted to tell him we both need to go to therapy, or I’m done. But I am worried what he will do if I leave him. When I ask him if he thinks anti depressants might be a good idea, he always replies that they are too expensive. When I suggest trying to find a different PT job, he just says “they’re all the same.”
We moved in together during the pandemic. I worry that the pandemic covered up some of these issues and made it so we stayed together longer than we should have.
Hopefully this is specific enough, but basically my question is, is there anything else I can do? I don’t think I want to give up yet, but I also don’t want to continue like this forever.

2023.06.10 19:03 youngb0ystr8 20 [M4M] first read the whole post. University Dom looking for sub online (DM OPEN)
Hi guys, Im a str8 university student Dom, Im BRA and Im 20 years old. I m currently single. Some time ago I decided to enter the world of domination, because I love it when they obey me and do everything to make me happy, even if he is not. I've been trying with a few men for a while, but haven't found any for long term or TPE, mostly just sessions and honestly I don't really like just sessions.
So I'm looking for guys who were born to be sub, their only intent is to please someone, looking for an obedient and loyal guy who will do whatever I say and wherever I want. I'm looking for str8 guys, military, married, fiancé, boyfriend, newbies or guys addicted to stroke/cum who need control. As for body type I want lean, muscular, fit guys, I don't really like chubby but if you think you might be a good sub, send a body pic you might be accepted. My kinks are chastity, humiliation, orgasm and bladder control, cbt, swearing, denial, edging, cumplay, assplay, toys, TPE, among others. I like to command everything about you and be obeyed, many times I can be rough and rude, but if I deserve it I know how to be affectionate and give compliments I want to maybe talk about everything. No, Im not here to exchange nudes with you, being used for my pleasure is reward enough. So as I said in the beginning Im not looking for sessions, so if you want that don't message me. Don't waste your time or mine. One more thing I'm not one to chase after anyone so if you just view my message or wait for me to send you something, you can forget about me because I found someone else. So be willing. If you think you fit the profile, send me a DM with an introduction about yourself, your kinks, limits, asl, pictures of yourself and tell me more about it. I hope to hear from you my (maybe) future little boy.

2023.06.10 19:01 Pale_Particular7487 Found a screenshot of a hot girl on my boyfriend’s phone
So I found this screenshot of a girl or rather her body on my boyfriends phone and I asked him about it at first he was just like huh what idk what this is I never took it idk where it came from blah blah and eventually he admitted he took it and I asked him why and ofc he’s like he found the pic hot. Honestly I know my confidence is low and this is really just eating me up and makes me feel disgusted. Like okay I get finding someone attractive is okay but going ahead and taking a screen shot? like bruh that’s just disgusting u have a girlfriend the worst part being it’s not like I don’t send him stuff or I send it very rarely? Yk obviously it’s gotta make u feel like u aren’t enough. What’s really added to it is the fact he lied and tried hiding it, really made me doubt if I can trust him ever again and probably the fact he just forgot to hide it this time cus it was unexpected that I had to go through his photos to find something. Overall he’s a really nice boyfriend and I know he cares about me but this just hurts me a lot. I’ve read similar posts and found people defending the guy saying oh that’s just what guys do? That’s an excuse especially when ur in a relationship, why’re you out there seeking satisfaction from others even after ur S/O sends u whatever whenever, it’s not that hard to just have control over yourself? just unadd those people? just don’t open their stories? FFS just don’t screen shot?
If I can just have eyes for him (sure I find other people attractive but I’d never screenshot a pic I’m not that fkn desperate and I know I’m in a relationship where I’m fully loyal to that person) or be satisfied with him there’s no excuse that “Men can’t help themselves” it’s literally ur self control it’s not something inbuilt or irresistible.
Yk what I think at this point? men r incapable of loving someone so much that they don’t lust for other women, it’s disgusting. Idk what to do I just feel really betrayed and not enough

2023.06.10 18:58 Nashii14 My one in a million love story
Hi everyone I am currently in a 1 year and 6 months from today relationship I am a (f22) and my boyfriend is (M20). I live in the UK while he lives in canada. Let me tell you on how we met by chance, 1 in a million.
During lockdown I got obsessed with the idea of getting my own gaming pc, I saved up money and spent quite a bit of money to get my setup complete, by december 2020 I finally had everything ready and I started playing with friends that I had known from school. We played online games and I played some solo games of my own at times.
On day in 2021 now, my friend told me I should get this game called vrchat and play with them, (Vrchat Is a mostly social platform that can be used with either pc or vr where you can talk to anyone in the world) I played it a few time with my friends and was getting used to speaking to people. I had made a few friends and was having fun, I am quite the introvert so I don't always have the confidence to speak to random people 😅 but one night I was alone and my friends were busy so I decided to go on the game by myself and then a few minutes later I met the one I now call ' 'my love' it first started off with us insulting each other because of the different accents, and he speaks French so the English and the French, hmmmmm sus. And then we became friends and hung out on this game everynight, we exchanged discord info and then Snapchat and we played different games and met more people to call friends and played with them 🥰 a year went by of friendship and I realised that I had a special connection with him and had abit of a crush 😊 I was going to confess on new years eve of 2021, I unfortunately had covid and didn't have the courage to I was broken and cried while coughing and sneezing of course, but a couple of weeks later I got shitfaced with friends and sent him a message confessing my love and he accepted eventually (I was persistent 😇) now I have visited home twice and he has come over here once. And today I filled out an application for immigration so we can start our life together.
The crazy thing is that, we got our computers around the same time and met by chance within 5 minutes in a online room full of other people so that's why he is my one in a million 🩷

2023.06.10 18:55 ZarthanFire Trip Report - 15 Days in Osaka, Himeji, Nara, Kyoto, Kanazawa, Tokyo, and Fujiyoshida!
This subreddit has been an amazing resource for my solo trip prep over the last few months so now it's my turn to give back. I did not have a set budget in mind since I save diligently for my trips. I am fairly well-traveled, a late 30s, solo traveler. This was my first time in Japan and my goals were a mixture of eating, exploring history, enjoying some theme parks, and enjoying experiences that only Japan could offer.
Total USD Spend: 17 days (2 travel days) came out to about $4200 USD total: * Flight: $1050 * Accommodations: $1400 * Food and Snacks: $1000 * Transportation (IC card, buses, trains): $250 * Theme Park & Novelty Experiences: $400 * Misc (souvenirs, shopping): $200 I typically budget out about $5K USD for my trips and Japan was definitely on the higher side of the budget, but again, I splurged on some fantastic restaurants, premiere entry at Universal Studios Osaka, along with numerous day trips. As others have mentioned here, I also averaged between 25K-30K steps a day. I’m in decent shape but walking 10-15 miles everyday definitely took its toll and my body shut down for a day.
Day 0: Landed in Osaka in the late afternoon and ended up wandering Dotonbori for a few hours since my hotel was located a block away. Ended up eating some very mediocre ramen at a stand in Dotonbori which was pretty disappointing, but the carbs were enough to knock me out. Day 1: Woke up early to walk around Dontobori at 5am and then headed out to few unique temples, including Namba Yasaka Jinja. Hopped onto the subway to enter Ueno Sky Tower, and overall, it was meh, I didn’t stay long just taking a few pictures and walked around Ueno for a few hours before heading to the Pokemon Cafe in Shinsaibashi. As others have noted, the food was very mediocre, but it was a fun experience nonetheless. Spent the rest of the evening getting drinks in Dotonbori before calling it a night.
Day 2: A full day at Universal Studios Japan to experience Super Nintendo World. I splurged on the express passes that gave me full access to a bunch of rides. SNW is pretty fucking awesome and I had a blast riding the Yoshi and Mario Kart rides, all the while taking taking in the atmosphere. The premiere pass also gave me access to a few additional rides including Harry Potter, Doraemon VR, and Jurassic Park. Had a late dinner at Kyushu Ramen getting their famous chashu ramen and it did not disappoint.
Day 3: Spent most of the day exploring Kuromon Ichiba Market, the local malls, and Dotonbori trying some street food. Went back to my hotel room and just relaxed for the rest of the day since jet lag was still bothering me. Watched some sumo matches on random Japanese tv before calling it a night.
Day 4: Took a day trip to Himeji to see the Himeji Castle. What a fantastic piece of history! I spent hours just taking in the sites and the nearby garden also highly recommended. Afterward, I had my first taste of Kobe beef in the form of a beef bowl at Kushiyaki Kobe Beef. Fantastic little hole-in-the-wall place with some really nice people working the counter. Took the train from Himeji directly to Nara where I was planning to stay the night. Day 5: Spent the entire day playing with the thousands of deer and checking out some local temples, including Todai-ji. I didn't do anything in Nara that hadn't been mentioned enough times here, but as others have said, a day trip or one day is more than enough time in the area. Took a late train to Kyoto. Day 6: Woke up in the early morning to beat the crowds to enjoy Fushimi Inari. Hiked the entire loop (about 2-3 hours) with only a fraction of the crowds, enjoyed some macha soft serve at the peak of the hill, and took my time going back down right rwhen the army of tourists and tour groups arrived. Grabbed an overly expensive Kobe beef stick from one of the food stalls by the temple gates and then spent an hour at a cute coffee shop called Rickshaw Cafe just people watching before grabbing an early dinner at Ramen Sen-no-Kaze. The food was solid, but it took 90 minutes to get a table. Not worth it and in hindsight I would have left.
Day 7: Woke up early again to check out the highly overrated Arashimyama bamboo forest. It was pretty underwhelming, but I did get a few nice photos before the crowds arrived. Strolled through the park and really enjoyed walking along the Katsura River seeing the catfish waiting to be fed and seeing the fishing boats tied up. A very tranquil place. After the nice long stroll, I walked back-and-forth the Togetsukyo Bridge and Kimono Forest (meh). The highlight of the morning was really Tenryu-Ji and the amazing zen garden. After a few hours taking in the peacefulness and silence, took the city bus to Kinkaku-ji, and the crowds were in full swing. Still totally worth seeing in person although it didn’t last very long. Day 8: A full day experiencing the Philosopher’s Path on a gorgeous sunny day. Too sunny since I got some pretty bad sunburns! I visited too many amazing temples, including Kiyomizo-dera, along with old Gion, although I thought the area was bit overhyped. I preferred the smaller, more peaceful temples away from the mass of tourists. Some of my favorites during my day exploring old Kyoto included Eikan-do, a more secluded temple up in the hills, Nanzen-Ji, with its beautiful aqueduct, and just walking the streets aimlessly for a few hours. Went to Nishiki Market and ate some amazing oysters at Daiyasu. If you love oysters, this is the spot to try it! Spent too much money on oysters and decided to go cheap and ate at Kura Sushi. The food was mediocre by Japanese standards, but blows away the quality and cost of the Kura Sushi restaurants in my hometown of Los Angeles.
Day 9: Took an early morning train to Kanazawa. Enjoyed my first ekiben while taking in the sights from the comfort of the Thunderbird Limited Express. Spent the rest of the day visiting the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art (meh) and Kenrou-ken, probably the most beautiful garden in the Kanda province. Wrapped up the day by visiting the D.T Suzuki Museum and wow, the tranquil pool area was amazing. Do yourself a favor and stand on the corner and just stare at the water. You’ll feel like the entire world is moving along on a plane and you’re the one that is frozen in place. It was pretty trippy. Ate well at Mori More Sushi Omicho and stopped by the Pokemon Center to pick up the exclusive Pikachu Kimono figure only available in the Kanazawa store.
Day 10: Torrential rain the entire day but I powered throughit with my trusty umbrella. Enjoyed breakfast and snacks at the Omicho Market, enjoying a tuna-don at one of the stalls, fresh uni, and more oysters. Not cheap but fresh! Walked around the Higashi Chaya District, doing a bit of window shopping and ate some gold leaf macha soft serve at Kaikaro, spending more time people watching. Walked around the Kanazawa Castle Park in all its empty glory as well as the Oyama Shrine. The castle was pretty underwhelming esp. after seeing Himeji so I probably would have skipped it in hindsight. Wrapped up the day visiting the Naga-machi District, probably my favorite part of Kanazawa. Had more sushi at Sushi Rekireki Omicho, an enjoyable omakase.
Day 11: Took the Shinkansen to Tokyo eating the most expensive ekiban I could find, and spent the rest of the entire day in Asakusa in Tokyo. Walked around Senso-ji, had a few beers in Hoppy Street, and finally tried Ichiran. Called it an early day since I would be doing DisneySea in the early morning.
Day 12: Took the express bus from Tokyo Skytree to DisneySea. Thanks to the early forecast of rain, the park was barely 50% full? The longest wait for most rides was under 20 minutes so I was lucky enough to ride everything at least once. My meals consisted of a bunch of unique Dsney parki food: gyoza hot dogs, alien mochi, Mike watermelon bread, etc. Stayed until the fireworks and went straight back to the hotel and crashed. That was a 40K step day!
Day 13: Visited Akihabara, spending way too much money on crane games, browsing retro games, and looking at figures. Headed to Shibuya to eat breakfast for lunch at A Happy Pancake (meh). Went to the Nintendo Store in the PARCO mall, only to be disappointed to find out that all of the Nintendo World store t-shirts were sold out. Actually everything semi-interesting was sold out. Went up to Shibuya Sky to watch the sunset, spending a few hours just watching the day slowly turn into night. Did the Scramble a few times and then headed to Shinjuku where I’d be located for the last few days.
Day 14: Another torrential rainstorm sadly ruined my plans of visiting Shinjuku Gyoen, Meiji Jingo, and Harajuku. Maybe next time. I was hoping to buy Tokyo Giants tickets but they were all sold out so I ended up going to the Tokyo National Museum. I won’t lie, I was pretty bored, and in hindsight I wish I went to the neighboring National Museum of Nature and Science instead. After strolling Ueno Park in the rain, I was craving tonkatsu and googled Tonkatsu Yamabe. Good decision as it was the best tonkatsu I had in Tokyo. Went to a nearby Taito Game Station wasting more money on crane games before heading back to Shinjuku. The area is insane and in hindsight, I would probably pick somewhere like Shibuya or Ueno, somewhere slightly more chill. Day 15: One of my favorite days in Tokyo! Teamlabs Planets lives up to the hype but ONLY if you can get first admission at 9am. It was glorious to be among the first people in the exhibits as I could take in experience the way it was intended. There were only a few people in each room giving each space such a great, peaceful, and chill vibe. Headed to Ginza to the Michelin-rated Sushi Toyama, where I had a chance to finally experience bluefin toro (worth it!). Probably the most expensive lunch ever but it was quite the experience. A sunny and beautiful day, I bought a bunch of souvenirs and clothes (a 12-story Uniqlo with its own coffee shop, Muji Ginza, Ginza Six), checked out my favorite Toy Story in Japan, Hakuhinkan Toy Park, intricate stationary stores like Itoya, and went to a very popular Ginza Starbucks to people watch. Spent the evening in Shinjuku exploring Golden Gai getting swarmed by Nigerian dudes. Wanted to try a hole-in-wall ramen spot in the area but the line was stupid long so I ended up just going to Kyushu Ramen and was satisfied enough. A good day.
Day 16: With the break in clouds the day before, I decided to call an audible and set up a last minute day trip to Mount Fuji. Took an express bus from Shinjuku to Fushiyoshida and got dropped off in front of Chureito Pagoda. It was cloudy for most of the day, but for the last several hours I saw Mount Fuji in all its glory. It was a gray day but no complaints — it was nice to cross another bucket list item from the list.
Wow, this was much longer than I anticipated. Well if you got this far, feel free to ask any questions! In the meantime, I'll be planning my next trip to Japan soon!

2023.06.10 18:54 LegalPaperSize I’m just so done
I’m tired of the constant invalidation, the harsh criticisms, and belittling of my emotions and accomplishments.
I’m an adult, I’m in my 20s, yet my parents constantly remind me that I can’t have anything for myself. I don’t deserve what I have. I owe them anything they want because they raised me. Because they put money into my education. Because they drove me to piano lessons and school growing up.
It fucked me up. Their treatment gave me so many issues I had to overcome. I couldn’t set reasonable boundaries with people, I wasn’t confident in my own abilities, I am not emotionally resilient. I have ADHD and I didn’t get any support or help for it until I finished undergrad because my parents don’t believe in mental health.
For a long time I thought affection and love were only given when I did something they approved of. If I didn’t perform well in school or lost a competition or didn’t get accepted into a certain school, it was “Go f*ck yourself then. I knew you couldn’t do it anyway, you’re so stupid. You don’t deserve any of the good that happens.”
I’m still viewed as their possession. Any time I don’t meet their ideas of success (super strict Asian parents so you can imagine what that looks like), I’m ruining the family’s stupid reputation and embarrassing my parents.
The worst part is I can’t talk to anyone about this. I’m trying to get into therapy but it just sucks when I want to vent to a friend and people don’t take it seriously because it’s about my parents. It’s social taboo. If I told the same stories but replaced the word parents/mom/dad with boyfriend or spouse, no one would hesitate to tell me it’s an abusive relationship and I should get out.
