Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: How can I [21M] tell if I'm ever going to get over an ex? POST: Hi, I'll keep this short because if I don't it will be a book. I ended a relationship with a girl who I loved very much. I was very confused - didn't know if I really loved her and felt that I would regret not dating around in college. ------------------------- The following year was very difficult for me for numerous reasons, but I never got over my ex. I've been dealing with depression - been seeing a therapist and taking antidepressants. So i've been working on myself a lot. ------- This is my last year at Uni and I'm finally starting to make some progress with other women, but every day my heart still aches for my ex. ------ The thing is, I'm ususally pretty good at knowing if how I feel is temporary or whatever, I feel like I'm good at gauging the severity of my emotions. I've been working very hard to get over and to stop loving my ex but I have this gut feeling and deep fear that I never will. I'm afraid that I'm going to live my life and regret not trying to get back with her - but I know i'm not ready to try that. ------- finally, I keep expecting to see her around campus. Every girl who even slightly resembles her I see her face and my heart flutters like "oh shit there she is". I'm constantly feeling nervous. I also wish for nothing more than for her to contact me. I made a decision that if I'm going to talk to her again it would have to be her that contacts me - I'd just feel too weak and immasculated if I did again. ------ What can I do here? I'm just so sad and anxious. Thanks. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I'm still hurting about an ex from a year ago. How can I tell if this pain is going to stop or not?

POST: Let me just preface by saying that I am WELL aware this is a crazy-insecure-girlfriend kinda' question, but all I'm looking for is reassurance. I have shoulder length dark brown hair and I just found a long blonde hair on my boyfriend's (well, our shared) bed. He's mentioned finding a hair of his ex's in his car before (who had long blonde hair), so please just remind me there are OTHER ways of that hair getting there, other than a girl crawling into bed with him. I have no other reason to think he was/would cheat, and in his defense he works with a bunch of long-haired girls. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Found a blonde hair in the bed that isn't mine...please tell me the likelihood of it getting there in a non-sexual way is high.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I (20 F) feel like my boyfriend (24 M) of 7 months has no time for me anymore. POST: When my so and I started dating, we talked constantly every day and saw each other 3-4 days per week. Within these past two weeks, I feel like I have to start conversations with him or else he won't even text or call me. And I see him once a week now. Granted, he doesn't have a car so he can't visit me right now, and I understand that aspect, it just doesn't seem like he wants me around. He tells me he is thinking about us moving in together, but how are we supposed to do that when we don't really communicate at all anymore? I have talked to him before about the distance I feel from us not talking but ask he says is sorry and doesn't really change. Should I be worried? Should I even stay if he can't give me the time of day anymore? Blaghughughughagh. I need advice as to how to handle this. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I [27/f] want to know: how do you meet/date people who actually want to be with you? POST: I'm 27/f and have had two real relationships. I don't like dating (i.e., auditioning physical relationships with people I barely know) and have had virtually no smaller relationships in between. Both those relationships started as friendships for about six months, morphed into dating on their initiative (first for less than a month, second for about 8 months), and then we broke up but stayed really good friends for at least a year afterward before either drifting apart or forcibly ending contact. I'm about to do the latter with the second guy this weekend. With the second guy we relapsed a few times in that year which has run me through a roller coaster. The first guy was about three-four years ago. The really good friends thing is what kills me. These were both people with whom there was strong chemistry, strong physical intimacy, strong friendship/respect/shared values/compatible interests/compatible intellect/make each other laugh like crazy, and real affection. In both cases, we worked through some significant life turning points together that were pretty bonding. I'm being a little on the clinical side for brevity, but in other words: the makings of what I would consider a great relationship. They didn't want to date me anymore (despite obviously being attracted to me) but wanted to stay really good friends (like, among both of ours top-3 closest friends at the time I'd say). Both of these guys are sensitive, monogamous, only date one person at a time, don't really date casually, looking to have a family guys. I didn't feel like I wanted to marry them, but I didn't feel like I specifically couldn't do that, and thought there was a lot more good stuff left to live through together. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I seem to have a knack for finding guys who think I'm *almost* the bees-knees, but not quite, while I think they're pretty great. What should I do differently?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/jobs TITLE: How/where to get more clerical and office administrative skills? POST: Been volunteering for a local non-profit for about 2 years in the hopes of getting some admin skills to beef up my resume. So far though, I do mostly filing, folding & bundling newsletters at the end of each season, some maintenance here and there. I want/need more experience using computer programs like MS Office and data entry. I've only gotten maybe a few handfuls of computer work in my pocket. The folks where I volunteer are wonderful and I would love it if I could work there. But they seem to have plenty of staff and hiring me is out of their purview. Most computer work is only allowed to the staff. Nothing against them, but I feel like I've wasted the past couple of years there on grunt work. Beyond typing up college papers on Word and making flyers on Publisher, I've got little practice in MS Office programs. Learning Excel, Acces, mail merge, etc. would be so useful. At a previous non-profit, I learned a bit of html using Wordpress to update their websites. That has withered from disuse. What kind of place can I apply to for office work where the employer wouldn't mind training me? Or are non-profits my only option? If the latter, are there specific kinds that will get me more office work? Mine is part gallery so they need more help outside of the office. Could I take classes somewhere, ideally free? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/legaladvice TITLE: I've been arrested for possession of marijuana and adderal without a prescription. POST: I'm a 21 year-old Mechanical Engineering student and I live on campus at my school in the metro-Atlanta area. I have been a student here for a while, now. I used to be a huge smoker a year ago when I lived off campus, found it detrimental to my status as a student, and moved back immediately. This Friday was my last day before my Thanksgiving break and I wanted to unwind for the week. I bought an 8th and threw it in my stash jar. I went to lunch earlier that day with a friend with an Addy prescription, and after talking about how difficult it was for me study and stay focused, he gave me a few pills that I never even intended on using, I just threw them in my stash jar also. A friend of mine was walking up the stairs to my apartment with another friend of mine and he was very blatantly and loudly talking about smoking. Someone in my building overheard him and called the cops on us. When the cops knocked on my door, my friend's gram, my piece and my grinder were clearly visible. They searched my stuff and found other pieces, but not my personal stash jar. Keep in mind these are campus police, and that they don't need a warrant to come in and search what is already out in the open. The cop asked me if I had any other drugs to report, and I handed over my stash jar out of absolute fear they'd find it anyway, as it wasn't very well hidden in my closet admittedly. They arrested me for possession of Addy and weed and I'm looking at a felony and a misdemeanor, getting kicked out of school, or at the very least my apartment at school, and thousands and thousands of lawyer, court and bond fees. As of right now, I have no court date, I've paid 572.00 dollars towards my bond set at $5720, have gotten in contact with a Drug and Alcohol counselor, and have been referred to a handful of lawyers by coworkers and friends. This is also my first offense and the police report given to me is riddled with evidence that shows I was polite, kind and cooperative to the arresting officers. TL;DR: . Assistant:
got caught with weed and Addy on campus at school, I'm looking at a felony and misdemeanor. Just looking for some advice. Thank you all very much.

POST: Obligatory, it didn't happen today (but around a month ago) and I am not a morning person. Interning at a company. One month in I had a meeting with my boss and his boss. We were to meet at 7 am. I usually get into work at 8:30 so 7 am was early for me (specially cause it's a 1 hour drive) I get to work at 6:50 and see my boss and he said go ahead into his boss's room (since he will be in the meeting late). I'm super tired and I walk into the room and wait. No one is in this room. 10 minutes pass, 20 minutes pass, and then 4 people walk in and I'm like finally (I have never met my boss's boss) and they all sit down and start discussing some project that makes no sense to me -- definitely not the project I was assigned. And I'm completely flabbergasted. I sat in that room for one and a half hours confused as hell. Finally the meeting ends and everyone starts asking me who I am, and I explain and then they tell me I got the wrong room. Completely embarrassed I leave and see my boss and his boss leaving the adjacent room. They ask where I was and I explain my story and they just laughed and said that I'll have a one on one meeting later this week since I missed the original meeting Kept my job, looked like a dumbass, all in a good day's work. It's been over a month and everyone in our department constantly remind me of this whenever I go into conference rooms or meetings. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: I just started working at an office job where I am an IT contractor. A female got hired as a temp soonafter and we hooked up twice. Within the first week of her working there. Fast forward like two weeks and she is hooking up with a full time employee now. Kissing inside the building we work at and I found out by questioning them leaving together almost every day.

Who flips a switch like that so easily and says, "WELL I THOUGHT YOU ONLY WANTED TO HOOK UP AND I REALIZED I WANTED A RELATIONSHIP." She didn't even give me the option or share her feelings with me - just jumped ship. I am so confused and really just need some guidance here on how to deal with this in a work environment.

POST: I'll try to keep this short! **Background** * I've always been an on again/off again (very casual!) jogger, typically doing 3 - 5 k * My knees have always been finicky, and I went to a physio who thought I had "runner's knee" * Pre-pregnancy, my "runner's knee" would flare up when I got to the 8 - 10 k distance range, even if I had a decent base (doing a C210k type program) **Current Problem** I had my baby a year ago, so all in all I haven't run for about 1.5 years. I'm quite slim and have been doing aerobics-style classes for the past year, so I'm not totally out of shape. Body weight exercises, aerobics, bikes and ellipticals are all fine. However, when I run even the tinyiest bit, or even go on a long walk or a hike, my pelvis gets very sore and tight, and my knees start hurting very quickly. I already am doing general squats/lunges/stretching type things. I'm starting to feel like running just isn't for me anymore. Which is a bummer, because I really enjoy running! Has anyone had something similar? Can anyone recommend some stretches or exercises that might help? Should I see a Dr? Or should I just see a physio? Not quite sure how to proceed. Thanks! TL;DR: . Assistant:
I think pregnancy messed with my body, now I can't even run even the smallest amount without pain in my pelvis and knees. I'm fairly certain the problem isn't just that I'm completely out of shape.

[5 months today] POST: Last night me and my girlfriend were on the phone, she was clearly tired and after speaking for about 20-30 minutes with her falling asleep about 5 times I said to her "I'm just gonna let you go to sleep". She responds with "You just don't wanna talk to me" *laughs*. So I reassure her that obviously I want to talk but she keeps falling asleep so she'd be better off just sleeping then me keeping her up. Well half way through my explanation she hangs up, I call back the first time and she just texts me saing "no!" I call her the second time, she answers saying "What?" and then hangs up as I start to talk, then she texts me simply saying ":P". At this point I don't really know what to do so I just say "Forget it ____, get some sleep and I'll talk to ya tomorrow, Good night <3", all I get back is "kay..." Text her this morning and got nothing back, but I know when I do there's gonna be no smileys and not much of an effort at conversation, so I need to know how to apologize. Oh, almost left out that she was supposed to see me today but her dad told her they were going somewhere, we only see each other every second weekend except during the holidays, plus I've got tests in a few weeks and she's always telling me to be studying instead of worrying about seeing her and that she's "patient enough".

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/tifu TITLE: TIFU by trying to be polite and keep eye contact POST: Long time lurker, made an account to tell this and hopefully stop stressing so much. So I'm a junior in High school, and a clumsy one at that. Yesterday during marching drill before actual practice began, me and some friends were all sitting outside in the small parking lot we have for band and sports personnel. The lot had been empty up until a few minutes before "the event" happened. I never noticed a car had come in, and was talking with a friend. Keeping eye contact and walking backwards at a moderate pace as she followed. Last second she yells "PintoBean, STOP!" and I quickly stop, stumble over my foot and fall straight back... into a car. I somehow made a 2 1/2ft wide 1ft tall 1/2in thick dent in the back door of this car (I'm about 5' 10" and 145lbs). I limp my way inside to get the owner of the car, and he seems fine with it and just wants me to cover insurance/ damages if needed, perfect, no issues, just a small mishap. This was reported to the office as an incident and I'm called in the next morning (day I'm posting) and he's in there, they contact my parents, clear things up, and I give the car owner my parents info to talk about insurance and what to do, the school at this point was just a medium for us to work this out through. So later that day I'm called into the office for the school police officer along with the friend I was talking to. We walk in with the principle I talked with in the morning. We are seated, the officer explains everything, tells us to be calm and we can work this out, average stuff. About near the end of him clearing things up, he breaks part of the news (couldn't tell us everything without the presence of a parent/ guardian) that the owners mom is choosing to go through Juvenile Services and charge me as a criminal instead of just working out insurance. I await tomorrow in which everything will be worked out and my future behold. I'll update if you guys want or not TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: We're both University students, and he had coordinated a fantastic cultural show this year at the beginning of February. He also designed shirts for all the people who helped out, and the shirt also looked great. He did an incredible job at planning the show and making the shirts, and I am super proud of him. However, its been almost 3 months now, and he still brings it up at least once a day on how awesome his show was. He'll even interrupt people when the conversation topic is remotely related to talk about how great his show was. I would compliment and praise him on his performance every time, but lately, I've started to get really irritated with him and I would think to myself, "does he really need to bring the attention back to him, even though the conversation is barely related?" Earlier, I spoke to him about it and said that he should stop bringing up the show and shirts so much. Him constantly bringing it up is getting irritating. But immediately he got angry and upset with me, saying that he lets me talk about things that make me happy, why can't I let him talk about the things that make him happy. I think he took it at a personal attack or that I'm not proud of him, but I really am, both the show and tshirts were great. I don't know if I should have brought it up or just continued to let him. I had planned the same show the year before, so maybe I was just resenting out of jealousy. But he also does the same thing about his new job. He currently works at a large software company while also attending school, and whenever anyone brings up the topic of job, he has to tell everyone that he works at this said software company. I'm wondering if his actions are normal and that I'm in the wrong for calling him out, or if it's not and he's trying too hard to boast or fish for compliments. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Boyfriend planned a fantastic show in February, but three months later, he is still talking about it everyday. He got mad at me for calling him out. Am I in the wrong?

She lives with me and I know that she is tight for cash (she is having trouble finding work in her field after graduating college and I cover all the bills). I wasn't expecting much from her in way of any gifts, but I still expected something to show she appreciated me, either a Painting (She is a very talented artist) or some other home made gesture. I was gone the weekend leading up to Monday so it isn't like she didn't have the time to make anything. Well anyways, I get home and take her out to a fancy dinner, and she didn't get me anything at all. She said she felt bad she didn't get me anything however I feel like she just didn't care enough to get me anything or do anything to show how much she appreciates me being here for her.

We're both attend A&M, except he is graduating in a few weeks and is moving to Houston, which is just an hour away, to work. I still have two more years of college left. He broke up with me because he feels like he can't handle the long distance. Background information: He's graduating with a petroleum engineer degree. His job will require him to travel to oil rigs during his training until he finally gets settled into an office in Houston, which may take six months to two years. He's living with his parent during this time. He says during his freshmen year, he tried a long distance relationship with his high school girlfriend, but it didn't work. (Again, it was about an hour and a half away.) During last summer, he was working as an intern while I went to summer school. He almost broke up with me then because of the distance (this probably should've forshadowed what is going on now.) Is there anyway I could convince him that we could make it work?

I know that if I take her back again it'll be another mistakes, I don't plan to either. I feel worthless. Even after everything we did. All the time we spent together, she didn't find me good wnough. I tried so hard to make her happy. I did everything possible to make her feel like a queen. This is a fact, everyone I've talked to about this has said that I didn't do anything wrong and that it wasn't my fault. Even though I know that this is true My self esteem is destroyed. I'm usually a very chipper and funny person to be around according to my friends and right know I feel like they don't want me around because I can't be happy now. I want to know how to cheer myself up. I've tried distracting myself with almost everything I can but for some reasoning keep thinking about her and her new guy fucking. It's a guy wrenching feeling and for some reason my thoughts keep going back to that. He is more attractive.That he will make her happier. That he will please her better. That I am inferior in every way possible. How can I stop thinking and picturing anything to do with her? Another problem I'm having is that after being with her for so long and being in such a small town I feel like no one will take me. It is known that her and I we're together by everyone and I feel that I am now undesirable. That on top of the fact that I never really learned how to e single. Is there anywhere I can learn how to flirt. Learn how to at least not be completely inept with the opposite sex? Like an r4r but not physical.

POST: Been dating this girl for 6 years. We both agreed it would be best if we both had stable jobs and completed our education before thinking about marriage. 2 months ago I caught my girlfriend sending text messages to a 'friend' from church. It wasn't the fact that she was texting a man it was what they were talking about. One message from the other read something like 'i hope we can be in a relationship in the future'. Even after this she still continued to talk to him. Once I saw the message I confronted her about it and she acted naive and said she would end it. Fast forward to last night. After a date at a concert and a couple beers she receded to the bedroom. As I was not ready for bed I walked into the bedroom to grab my charger and a night shirt. I found her shirt up and pants down. I asked her what was going on and she replied that she was just taking a picture. I brushed it off and went back to what I was doing. 2 hours later I climbed in bed and noticed her phone was still playing music. I reached over to turn it off and noticed that her indicator light was flashing yellow and she had a snapchat. By this point I was concerned that the picture taking was related so I opened snapchat to a single message 'wow I was not expecting that'. Curious as to who this guy was, and I admit at this point I am in the wrong, I searched her messages for the user name. It came back from a Facebook message from a guy who is friends with my sister and they had met at my sister's wedding 9 months ago. I woke her up asking who was so and so and why he would send her that message. Her reply was '... I didn't send naked pictures to him tonight' To make a long story short I broke up with her. TL;DR: .

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I [19 M] Have been crushing on my friend [20 F] for 8 months, she knows and accepts it. POST: I am in college and met a girl in one of my classes. it was an instant connection and we started talking outside of class through facebook after about a month. so when I friended her on FB it said she had a boyfriend and I was unhappy but decided we could still be friends. she and I talked on facebook daily, to the point that I couldn't even put my phone down even when I slept. after about 2 months of messaging she brings up her bf and from then on started complaining about him. I gave her advice when she needed it and just listened the other times. well, it turns out that she knew I liked since before we started messaging and brought it up one night. so I spilled the beans and told her how I felt. she gave the usual speech about how she's in a relationship and that she didn't feel the same. so fast forward to a week ago, her bf broke up with her and she turned to me for comfort. I, of course, helped her through it. the problem is that I find myself really loving this girl and the last 2 days she's been very flirty but I don't wanna take advantage of her. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I really like this girl but she just got out of a relationship and has previously stated she doesn't like me but is now acting like she does. any ideas?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [22M] and a girl [20F], been talking for a few months. Just found out she has a boyfriend??? Help. POST: A very quick backstory.. I met a girl about 10 months ago and we talked for about an hour but never got any contact info. I never saw her again until a few months ago, where she remembered me somehow and we exchanged numbers. We've been friendly/flirtacious, and feel very comfortable and connected to each other. We hung out the other week and I kissed her. She started crying and saying "you're going to hate me" and admitted she had been seeing someone for about 6 months. She says she felt so shocked when I came back into her life and basically has been falling for me and didn't know what to do. She says she feels like shit because the guy she's with is a "nice guy", but she feels strongly for me. I told her she needs to choose and she says she knows. She still hasn't broken up with him, nor stopped talking to me. I'm confused and a little hurt. I was hoping you could answer some questions for me. Is it possible that she really likes me and this is some rare case? She told me she never cheated before and now she feels horrible and doesn't know what to do because he's nice and all, but she really wants to be with me too? Should I just keep stressing that she has to make a choice? It's painful because she and I honestly get along so well and feel like we've known each other forever/etc... literally perfect situation other than the other guy. Should I just say "if you want to be with me, then break up with him first"? And then how do I know she won't cheat on me? She doesn't seem like that kind of person and is brutally honest with me about her past and stuff.. so I think it's really a one time thing, but I'm cautious. Has anyone had an experience where they fell for someone else while in a relationship and it turned out alright? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Girl and I want to be together, she has a BF, scared to break up with him because "he's nice". What do I do.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I'm (31M) having a never ending internal battle trying to decide which woman to be with. Please don't judge me,your help is greatly appreciated. POST: Hi guys, Long story short, Im an 31 year old male and I broke up with my ex girlfriend of 9 years about 2 years ago. Reasons for the breakup were that I wasn't convinced she loved me because of certain things I experienced with her and that in turn caused me to pull back which made things worse. Our relationship was a tonne of fun, I felt like we connected on a different level. Which is why the breakup was hard for me, I was convinced it was the right thing to do at the time given all I had seen. For the record she was always faithful, she was just a selfish person at times and could be mean with a bit of alcohol. Fast forward to a couple of months after the breakup and I meet the girl who I felt was perfect for me. She immediately fit in with my friends and family, loved me the way I needed, gave me everything I could ask for. A real perfect and wholesome girl. It was literally everything i wanted in a partner. But the connection I had with the first person was stronger even though I wasn't any happier. I see my ex as my soulmate and my current girlfriend as a great life partner. I miss my ex and i sometimes wonder if I was fair with her with the way things ended. I can't say I gave her much of a chance. And that part is eating away at me. I mean I was ready to propose at some point and we were very close to buying a house together. I'm sure that if I contacted her again she would want to work things out together. I know I should be happy but I'm not and I can't figure out how to handle all this. I need help! TL;DR: . Assistant:
I feel guilty for breaking up with my ex and I would feel guilty breaking up with my current girlfriend to be with my ex. Im stuck. Help!

I have never played New Vegas without mods. I knew the mod scene was huge so there was no way for me to play without mods. I downloaded few "essential" mods like some weather mods, basically only graphical mods. Today I downloaded Weapons Mod Expanded because I'm lvl 18 and I have access to pretty much every game in the game, at least those weapons that you can get from merchants. So I tought that maybe this was good time to get some more weapons. While installing the mod, I realized that in Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowind you actually had to activate the mods with some mod manager. I havent activated shit with New Vegas. Open mod manager, realize that none of the mods were activated. I have been playing for 18 levels without any mods. Yes, I have been enjoying the game but I know I would have enjoyed it A LOT more if the mods were activated. I hadnt played New Vegas "without" mods so I didnt really know how vanilla NW was. I had nothing to compare to. Now Im so depressed that ALL my eagerness to play NW is gone. I have no desire to play it anymore because I feel like I have wasted all that time. Jesus christ I want to uninstall the game and never play it again. > TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: Ok so I started dating a girl three weeks ago that I had been friends with for the last 6 months or so. She just got out of a year and a half relationship with an emotionally manipulative guy about a week before we started dating. Today she texted me that she really cares about me and is scared that this will make me hate her but that she doesn't want to rush into another relationship so quickly and told me she needs some time to sort out her life. I asked her if this meant we needed to take it slower or if it was over and she said to give her some time before we start talking again. I told her that I would be here when she felt she was ready. My question to you guys/gals is this, Is this relationship over for good or is there any hope for us? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Americans of reddit, what's your stance on gun control, and why? POST: I'm a staunch supporter of the 2nd Amendment. I believe citizens have both the constitutional and the natural right to bear any small arms they choose - including assault rifles, machine guns, and even should-fired missiles. I support thorough background checks on weapons purchases, as well as state-issued firearm licenses. However, I don't think people should have to pay special fees or taxes on specified weapons types (for example, the current NFA tax on short-barreled rifles). In short, I advocate firearms being freely available with minimal government regulation. The common arguments against gun control involve hunting, recreational shooting, and home defense. I whole-heartedly support those things, but I think focusing on them too much ignores the primary reason for an armed civilian population: PROTECTION FROM TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT. When writing the 2nd Amendment, the Founding Fathers specifically had armed militias in mind. Such militias played a pivotal role against the British during the American Revolution, and it was assumed that they could play a role in keeping any future government in check. Today, the media regularly tells us about police brutality and CIA torture. It is now "legal" for the federal government to spy on, kidnap, indefinitely detain, and assassinate anyone (including American citizens) it deems a "threat" to itself. I don't care what Congress or the Supreme Court says- these things are wrong, and they threaten the freedom of the American people! In order to maintain a free, safe, democratic nation, PEOPLE SHOULD NOT FEAR THEIR GOVERNMENT! THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FEAR THEM! TL;DR: . Assistant:
I advocate an armed civilian population as protection against tyrannical government. I'm against any further gun control measures, and believe that the system in fact needs to deregulated.

I'm looking for advice on what would be appropriate to get my girlfriend for Christmas (I'm trying to think ahead because in the past I haven't!). I know that ultimately it depends on the unique girl/situation, but maybe y'all could help me with guidelines? Some particulars about the relationship - she and I are both college students, we're serious (talking about our future, have said 'I love you', etc.), but definitely independent and still learning about one another. I have a fairly good income for a student and would be comfortable spending up to around $300 on a gift. I want to get her something that says 'we're serious and I really care about you' but without saying 'you're mine forever and don't forget it'. You know what I mean? She's pretty girly - likes clothes and jewelry and stuff. Again, I know that this all comes down to the particulars of the relationship, but as someone without much experience with stuff I could really use some help with examples/guidelines about what is appropriate. Thanks! TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Is my girlfriend unreasonably controlling? [18M & 18F] POST: Alright, so I have quite a few things that have been a problem in my relationship that I havn't been able to workout with my SO. Some back story. We've been dating for over a year and recently (3 months ago) we moved in and this is when all of these problems became very prominent. First off I used to enjoy responsibly smoking cannabis and sometimes drinking with a few of my friends once or twice a week. By responsibly i mean we'd stay in the house, no driving, no hard liquor allowed, not allowed to do anything reckless which was enforced by all of us. Most nights consisted of playing smash Bros on the wii or watching animation domination. Nothing bad or reckless. To my girlfriend this is absolutely the worst and scumiest thing to do and thinks all of them are low lifes. There is no compromising on me smoking or drinking. End of story. Another thing is, we have sex regularly once every other day or so. But occasionally she will completely lose interest for anywhere from a few days to over a week. Now this is fine with me, everyone has different sex drives and that's alright. But it recently got brought to attention that she does not like me masturbating during our dry spells and porn is completely out of the question and so are nudes. TL;DR: . Assistant:
my girlfriend tries to control the parts of my life that I enjoy most. I love her but not really sure what to do.

POST: I was involved in a lengthy relationship during my first year of college. Me [21M] and her [now21F] went to high school together, we went to prom, and began dating shortly thereafter. She broke it off with me, and I transferred to a university out of state. I'm now a senior at my university. Over the past year or so, I've begun to initiate relationships with various girls, no sex(my first girlfriend was my only sexual partner) but after a month or so of build up, I just get this intense feeling of wrongness. It's like, everything is going well and then all of the sudden, I just don't want what it is that is forming. I'm guessing it's all tied to that first relationship, but will it get better with time? Do I just need to take these budding relationships slower(aka REALLY slow) or what? Hopefully someone here can help me figure this out. TL;DR: . Assistant:
After my first relationship, I now just can't form a new relationship, despite enjoying the company of new potential partners.

POST: Last summer I went to see my favorite band, Ludo. We got to the train station and it was about 90 degrees. It was brutal. The intercom said the train would be arriving late. It then said it again once more a few minutes later. After about two hours, we got sick of waiting. One of my friends went online and apparently all the trains on that track were suspended. We were all dissappinted and decided to go home. WAIT, not over yet. We decide to go to the neighboring town to see if the trains are still running. They are! We run to the trains and all movie style like, we all jump onto the train right before the door closes. Due to the suspended track, this train was packed. Keep in mind it was 90 degrees. In the train it felt like 100. About half an hour in, my side starts to hurt. I tell my brother. He tells me to grow a pair. A few minutes later, my vision goes a bit fuzzy and fades completely to black. I don't remember much cause I was completely out of it, but my brother wrote on his blog about it. Turns out I compltely froze and my lips went white. My brother asks my friends for help. He told me to spit out my gum and he's holding out his hand. I barely heard him telling me. To lighten the mood a bit, I swallowed it. My brother kind of chuckled a bit. Some girl, who was pretty attractive, gave up her seat and gave me water. I could see again. I was chilled and shakey. We decided to get off the train. In the end we didn't go. It would be too hot in a crowded room. We in turn went to a friends house and watched My Neighbor Totoro. TL;DR: . Assistant:

My girlfriend and I have a long and great relationship. However, we're planning our first overseas vacation together and everything was going well until a few of her friends went on vacation to the same country we were planning on going to. She now steadfastly refuses to go anywhere that other people she knows have been, period. I've tried explaining that neither of us have ever been to those places, and that it's a new and fun experience for us, but that doesn't matter. She says she wants our trip to be unique and to make other people jealous at how awesome our trip was. She grew up in very humble beginnings so I'm a bit taken aback by the whole attitude about jealously. I've also tried to explain how it'll still be special for us together even if others have done it before, and that shouldn't matter, but "I know people that have been there so it isn't special." I tried to give the example of what if we were going to Paris and you knew people that had been to the Eiffel tower, the louvre, and everywhere else worth seeing and she said she wouldn't want to go anymore just because her trip would be a copy of others. Wtf?? TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: So, this is my first relationship ever and before this, I've never even made out with a guy before. And we've known each other for a while and have been talking for a couple months before we started dating, so I'd say we were somewhat close by the time the relationship started. It's only been about 2 weeks and after a few dates and makeouts and stuff, he wanted me to go down on him. I told him I didn't exactly want to yet, but he was persistent and I eventually agreed to. It wasn't terrible, but also not that great either. Since he was all for it, and I didn't really care too much since it's staying between us, I don't think the relationship will get messed up. But I also am not ready for actual sex yet, since this is the very beginning of my very first relationship, and I just want to see how things go with what's happening right now. But was this the smart thing to do? Was this way too soon for my first time giving oral, in relation to my total experience which was nonexistent prior to 2 weeks ago? Am I putting too much thought into this? Am I taking this way too lightly and am actually desenstizied to the entire thing? TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: My girlfriend and I have been together for about 9 months, and its been rocky but we managed to work through it. Due to certain financial things on her end we decided to move in together but broke up and she moved out to stay with a friend. We were under a lot of pressure at the time with both of us losing our jobs at the same time; the companies we worked for went under. 2 weeks ago we got together again and made up. It was great; I missed her and she missed me. We made love for days. She had also gotten work but it was a bit far from where I stayed and she moved in with a guy she met in the classified section looking for a roommate - she said she didn't have much choice and had to move quickly to be close to her new job. It's been 3 days since she moved and her entire attitude towards me has changed. At first I couldn't get her off me, now she barley wants to talk to me or see me. She is spending a lot of time with the male roommate and it bothers me a lot, because even thought the guy is rather fat and not good looking at all I can see he fancies my girlfriend and keeps giving her things and is being overly nice. He seems to have some money, but wouldn't call him rich. Her car broke down and he even lend his other car to her, which is nice but the guy seems like over overly nice if that makes sense. She misses a few of my calls and disappears for hours and feels like she is insinuating she needs her space after we just gotten so close again, just out of nowhere. I tried talking to her about the situation and said how would she have felt if it was me living with a girl and just disappeared and seemed to have a real ball of a time with her and then kinda start ignoring my gf? Needless to say we got into a fight but we both apologized but essentially the same issue persists. Maybe I'm just jealous but I'm really uncomfortable with the situation but at the same time that will push her away? So what the hell should I do? I love her. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: Essentially my female friend and I moved in to our new houseshare and met the 4 guys we're living with on Saturday. On Tuesday morning I left for work but 5 mins later realised I had left my laptop in my room. Got back to my room, opened the door, and my new male housemate was in there looking in my wardrobe and touching my clothes. He had properly shut the door behind him so it's not like he had just popped his head in to have a quick look at the room.As far as I can see he hasn't taken anything (or left anything). I flipped out and yelled at him while he scurried back to his room, 'What the FUCK are you doing? What went on in your head to make you think that was ok?' etc. He started brokenly stammering 'oh ..er...your door was open..I came out of the shower...I', then fell to his knees shaking and running his fingers through his hair just saying 'I don't know, I don't know what I was thinking, I can't explain it, I'm so sorry'... I rang the landlord and asked for a lock to be put on my door, and he agreed to that and said, 'Wow...ermm [ awkward chuckle] ...that's a bit embarrassing isn't it... yeah I'll look into the locks for you, I know he smokes a lot of waccy baccy but we've never had a problem with him.' Then later the housemate came downstairs crying saying that he had told his girlfriend and parents and that he was arranging to see a counsellor. A handyman came and installed a lock on my door the next day, so I feel much more comfortable in the house now. I am just really interested to get some opinions from reddit on this. So far everybody I've spoken to agrees it is really weird, and personally I am finding it really difficult to be civil to the housemate, as it really freaked me out and he still doesn't seem to be able to explain his behaviour.

Please read my first topic on this matter: Especially the short background info. I've found a flat and moved away from my toxic parents. Everything was great until my mother came back from abroad, where she has a job. The matter is, I thought she'll forget about the idea of me taking credit for her. Unfortunately I was wrong. Not only the topic returned - she literaly guilts me into this. She keeps talking that she feels like dying, that she stopped eating and she's loosing weight, and that it's probably cancer. All this comes from terrible financial problems she has right now. To be honest, those terrible financial problems are something I remember from childhood. All my life she had those, and later she stole some amount of money from old employer and was forced to pay it off. To do this, she emigrated and now she earns two times more money than myself. Still, her debts are not getting smaller. They seem just as big as 7 years ago when she left the country. Just now she called me with the news that she needs fast help - she took another loan and now she must quickly pay it off. Of course it's because she didn't read contract carefully enough. That kind of things happen to her all the time. Unfortunately she knows that I earn stable money. I know that I'm the only one person that can rescue her. Literally no-one in my family is financially reliable apart from me. BUT if I do this, she will make another stupid decision and I will have to rescue her again. I'm not in the position to do this - I ended my education, found a job, moved out and now I'm stabilizing myself financialy after really chaotic childhood and college-hood. I'm not willing to going there again. I'm seriously thinking about going absolute no-contact with her. I only worry that she could do something to herself... I feel cruel, guilty, ungrateful bitch. I'm her only child. TL;DR: . Assistant:

I've always been very sexual, but all of the sex that I've had has been with men. I have made out with two women, one straight and one gay. I recently met this girl through a friend who, to my knowledge, is also straight but is definitely an LGBT supporter. We hit it off immediately. We have similar interests, career goals, etc. I thought we'd just be great friends, but I also find her really attractive, and she has also said that she thinks I'm beautiful. We've said lightheartedly that we're falling in love, have admit that we have "lady crushes" on one another, and to top it all off, we had a sleepover last weekend where we cuddled all night long. We're both cuddly people, but this was the first time I ever spent all night in the arms of a female friend. I don't know her well enough to know if this is how she is with all of her friends or just me. Nothing more has happened, but we aren't going to stop hanging out or acting this way around one another, and it makes me curious where things could go.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My [25F] boyfriend [26M] of a few months has suspcious cuts on his legs POST: Hi r/relationships, I recently started dating a GREAT guy. He is thoughtful, interesting, intelligent, and has the biggest heart of anyone that I know. I am so happy and lucky to say that I genuinely mean that. I do not consider this a flaw per se but It's very clear to me that he has pretty severe anxiety. He can get very tense and stressed at times and I feel like there is often no way that I can help. I lay with him and rub his back while he vents but I'm not sure if there's more that I should be doing. A few nights ago I noticed some cuts on his upper thighs. They weren't exactly fresh wounds but they definitely weren't old enough to have been there since before we started dating. I didn't say anything (because I didn't want to kill the moment or make him uncomfortable) but I'm not sure if it's my place to say anything. Should I wait until he comes to me? Or should I speak up? He is open with me about his anxiety, so it wouldn't be completely out of left field to talk about this with him. I care about him so unbelievably much and I don't want to make him any more stressed or uncomfortable than he already is. I'm not sure how to handle this. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I noticed cuts on my boyfriends legs. They are clean lines and do not at all look like an accident. Not sure how to address it.

POST: We were together for 3 years and both decided to end our relationship last week. She wanted to remain friends and I agreed because we had a clean break with no hard feelings for each other, but now I'm really starting to feel the pain and am realizing I didn't want it to end and I only let her go because I felt she wasn't happy with me. I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out if i should remain friends with her. I don't know if it would be easier to just cut off all contact and move on or remain friends and hurt myself as I watch the girl I love share the life we had planned together with someone else.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/tifu TITLE: TIFU by telling my pregnant wife I wouldn't cheat on her. POST: This basically happened... oh... ten minutes ago or so. My wife is 9 weeks pregnant and well into the morning sickness, sick headaches, hormonal/emotional mess that the first trimester brings. Her self-esteem has taken a hit and her nerves are pretty frayed because she basically feels like ass 24/7. Her nausea usually hits her the worst in the afternoons and evenings, so today after work, she decided to lay down in bed and read until I got home from work about an hour later. When I got home, I crawled into bed with her and we started cuddling and chatting about our days. Now, sexy time usually happens in the evenings or before we go to bed, but the last month or so, my wife has felt so crappy in the evenings that she usually just passes the fuck out as soon as she hits the pillow. Being the understanding husband I am, I of course let sleeping pregnant ladies lie and let her get her much needed rest. Growing a person is hard work apparently! She has expressed regret, though, that we haven't had sex in awhile and today was no different. As we were cuddling in bed, she apologized again that we haven't had sex in awhile and said she wished she was feeling better so she could, and she said this in a joking tone, "attend to her wifely duties." I kissed her on the cheek and, in the same joking tone, said, "Don't worry. I won't cheat on you." She looked at me with complete horror and kind of choked out, "Wh-why would you even say that? Are you? Omigod, are you cheating on me?" Cue the crying and sobbing and blubbering. She kept repeating, "I wouldn't blame you. I'm gross and fat and ugly. I haven't felt good enough for sex. I would understand. I wouldn't blame you." I of course started apologizing profusely. I have never apologized so much in my life. She finally just said, "Okay. Okay," a few times and quit crying. But she asked to be alone for a while. Reddit. I fucked up. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Landlord is my age, didn't know him before I moved in. His dog. 8 month old lab. Pain in the ass. Tears apart everything, I've lost five pairs of flip flops already since I moved in thanks to this shoe shredding dick head. I forgot to shut my bathroom door last night. I'm an extremely clean person but for the past two days I have forgotten to empty the trash in my bathroom because we've been out doing shit and not home. Mother nature is here for this girl. I woke up at 4am this morning to the little idiot barking at his dog house outside, for whatever reason he's deathly afraid of it but it's too hilarious to burn the damn thing. So I got up to let him out, and what do ya know. Every piece of trash that was in my midget garbage in my bathroom was shredded all over the floor. Everywhere. Remember how I said mother nature had arrived with her monthly? Yup. Garbage all over my bathroom and the SHARED living room. That includes a few stupid plastic tampon insert things. THAT HE CHEWED UP. NO USED TAMPONS.. just the plastic inserts. Good news: I clean them before I throw them in the garbage because ew if not. But still.. Bad news: I had to search every inch of that house before roommate landlord bro woke up for work. Prayed to the Heavens above that the little prick didn't bring any into his room. Or his bed.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I [18M] am a little worried about the way my former friend's brother [30s?M] is acting toward me, but I might just be paranoid POST: So this will probably require some background. I used to have this really good friend. We'll call him Malcolm. He and I had a really bad falling out a few years ago and haven't talked at all since. It was my fault, and he doesn't want to see me again. I've run into him once or twice since and he flat out ignored me. I used to spend a lot of time at his house, and his brother (who we will call Jack) lived there too. He was often there when I was, and I enjoyed hanging out with the two of them, although I never once spent time just with Jack. He was only my friend because i was friends with Malcolm. I like Jack a lot, but most people I know don't, including his brother. Some people have described him as aggressive or domineering, and others have called him creepy. But he's never been anything nice to me. I guess the fact that he looks, acts, and sounds almost exactly like Cypher from The Matrix doesn't help. This falling out with Malcolm happened nearly two years ago. I haven't spoken with Jack much since. We had a brief chat once when we ran into each other on the street, and texted each other at Christmas. That's about it. But about two weeks ago, I got a surprise call from him, saying he wanted to hang out when I return from vacation, maybe go to his house in the country, he can give me some driving lessons, etc. Normally I would be really eager to go, but a few things are bothering me about it: 1. This would probably be a disrespectful and weird thing to do to Malcolm, right? And 2. Something in the way he was talking was a lite odd. He said something along the lines of "I can be like your big brother." I told him I would call him back when I get home in a month or so, but I am not so sure. Would this be an affront to Malcolm, and should I be worried about him taking me alone to somewhere no one would actually be able to hear me scream? TL;DR: . Assistant:

I want everyone to know she is being immature and that my feelings really are hurt. A little background info: i'm 20 and she is 20, I took her virginity, She had no reason not to trust me. She was always too busy with work and school and we would see each other max 3 times a week. she never would trust me but i did everything for this girl. I stopped smoking weed, got a better job, stopped hanging out with friends who are bad influences, basically did everything but bend over backwards for her and she still had trust issues which was just exhausting for me. when she found out i wasn't a christian she dumped me. well i picked up smoking weed again but not cigarettes. and she thinks i was doing it behind her back as well as other stuff all along and made a tweet to defame me.

POST: Ok, so here it goes, my dad (60 years old) has worked a great many years as a floor layer (his entire life basically). Hasn't worked much in the past 5, as his body has basically given out on him. Right now, he's living in Toronto on welfare basically, but he really *wants* to work. But no one will hire him. He has a lot going against him: * 60 years old * Criminal Record for Assault - hit a guys truck with a shovel while he was in it (in the process of pardoning, apparently it takes 3 years) * No drivers license * No decent job references (spent whole life contracting, and burnt way too many bridges) * Has family in Toronto, but he gets along with very few of them * He is quick to anger. He was a great dad, but he never got along well with others who piss him off, which leads us into... * Hung out with a lot of shitty people through his life, the type who screw you over when they get the chance. So very few friends :( Basically I don't know what to suggest for him. Where can he get work? He can't lay floors, too old to function. He can;t do anything customer facing, due to assault record. He doesn't have any office skills. Please reddit, I'll take any suggestions anyone has. One last point, he is needing to get both knees replaced this year at some point. So aside from being down for about 12 weeks, he probably can't do a job where he has to stand the entire day. TL;DR: . Assistant:

About a month ago I made an amazing dinner consisting of delicious braised short ribs. Because of a recent injury rendering me unable to walk and some time spent traveling. I wasn't really able to clean my apartment for a while and ended up leaving the remnants of this dinner in the pot (cover on it) in my oven. Decided to finally get rid of the congealed mess today by just throwing out the whole pot. I was sure if I opened it I would have opened another Pandora's box and puked all over my kitchen from the stench. I opened my oven to see this pot still sitting there with fruit fly eggs all over the top and all over the inside of the oven. Duck taped the pot shut and tossed that mess in the dumpster. I'm guessing I shouldn't use the oven without cleaning this mess out. Since I was too lazy to clean the pot and avoid this whole situation in the first place, I'm probably too lazy to clean the oven out by hand and I'm pretty sure the self clean option is a bad idea. Probably just going to move. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/legaladvice TITLE: [NJ, USA] Advice for dealing with a magazine scam now filing debt through a collection agency, and is their claim legitimate? POST: Four years ago, I was naive and fell for a magazine scam. Once I discovered the nature of the transaction, I immediately called to cancel it. The representative was resistant but eventually he allowed me to cancel my account, and I received a refund on the payment. Still they would repeatedly call and try to trick me into re-enrolling into another payment plan despite me saying I wished to be on their DNC list. Today, I received a letter from a debt collection agency saying that a magazine company has filed a claim to collect $1098.90. The rep at the collection agency said I could either settle for half of that amount or attempt to dispute it while waiving my right to settle. The rep stated that refunds from the company could be evidence that the company cancelled my account and no money is owed. My credit card statements show refunds for all payments made to these companies, but the rep is telling me that the company filing this claim is not any of the ones that show up on my statement. Now I'm really skeptical because this company does not show up on my statements at all. In the span of four years, my card has been charged three times with all three charges being refunded. The rep from the collection agency stated that they filed on breach of contract for no payment on a 24-month payment plan. However, my issue is that I was never charged these payments on my card, and any charges that were made were refunded not by my credit card company but by the magazine company itself. I'm scared of this hurting my credit score, but is this a legitimate claim on their part? If anyone has dealt with something similar, I'd appreciate any and all advice on handling this type of case. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Got tricked into a magazine scam four years ago. Cancelled account immediately but am now receiving notice from debt collection agency for charges from a company that supposedly (according to collection agency rep) never even charged my credit card.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [26 F] with my boyfriend [25 M] [1yr], do I tell him my ex will be at a mutual friends wedding? POST: Hi relationships, This is sort of silly but something I have been going back and forth on for a few weeks now. I have been dating my amazing boyfriend for just over a year and in a month or so we are traveling to my home country for my best uni friends wedding. He has visited once before to meet a different group of college friends and had a great time and everyone loved him. I am so very excited for my best friends wedding in a few weeks except for one overshadowing issue. My ex-boyfriend who I dated for 1.5yrs in university will also be in the wedding party, we ended on really rocky terms. He hurt me badly and I didn't react well, it's not something I'm proud of. I ended up losing several friends in the process which is something I still feel a lot of guilt and shame about but have chalked it up as a learning experience and think I am more mature for the experience. My ex and I are more or less cordial but I have yet to tell my boyfriend that this guy will be at the wedding. I usually am the first to advocate for open communication and honesty, but this feels like a potentially double edged sword. I don't want to hurt my boyfriend by telling him therefore making him think there is still something there and this guys presence is something he should be worried about, but on the flip side I also don't want him to think I am intentionally hiding something from him. My boyfriend already knows that I am anxious about the wedding and seeing people who I have not seen in 4+ years. Do you think it is okay to leave it at that high level, knowing that he has no interest to hear about past relationships, or should I give him a heads up about my ex? I have discussed with my therapist who thinks high level would be fine but I am leaning toward telling him just in case someone says something at the event. I truly do not want to cause smoke where there is no fire if that makes sense, since I have no feelings toward my ex and absolutely do not want to hurt or worry my boyfriend unnecessarily. TL;DR: .

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/tifu TITLE: TIFU by fishing down my top for money to pay for cigarettes. POST: My mother and I recently passed an enjoyable week in Spain. On our last evening there, she remembered that my father had asked her to buy him some tobacco, as it's cheaper there than at home. So we wandered along the city streets of Madrid until we found a tobacco shop. I waited outside, then after a while she beckoned me in. She was twenty euros short, and remembered that she had given me 50 euros for emergencies. Which I had placed in my passport-carrier around my waist, under my clothes. While in airports getting out my passport simply involved lifting up my top slightly to remove my passport, on this evening I had chosen to wear a dress. Given that reaching under my dress to the purse would involve flashing my underwear to a shop of Spaniards, I decided that the most decent option was to plunge my hand down the top my dress, rummage for a while finding the zip on the passport holder, extracting the note and closing the zip, then to slowly remove my hand holding the 50 euro note without accidentally pulling up the dress. This attracted a fair few stares, and I was thankful to leave shortly afterwards. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Money needed to pay for father's tobacco was in pouch under my dress, had to rummage round with my arm between my boobs to get it out.

He is extremely caring, makes me feel special and we are both in love. We've gotten through some rough patches in the past and I really want things to work out well... but I'm having a hard time getting past this: He got in touch with his ex-GF from high school recently. I know he basically loved her and pined for her all through high school and didn't entirely get over her until he met me. They occasionally kept each other updated by hanging out when they were both in their hometown or fb messages. She often says "I miss you" etc. which makes me a little uncomfortable. To some extent she enjoyed getting the attention from him in high school and kept him hanging even though she didn't like him that way. I feel like she may treat him the same now when she says things like that. She emailed him a while ago that she was coming to visit him. He told me of it immediately. She hadn't given any details but made it seem like her trip all the way was just to see him. I was uncomfortable and wasn't even in town at the time and expressed that to my boyfriend. He immediately told her not to come see him because I said so. It was only then that she revealed that she was visiting her family there along with her current boyfriend and it wasn't a trip just to see my boyfriend. I was a little embarrassed of this... but still feel like my boyfriend shouldn't have so bluntly told her it was my fault! It felt like he confided in her something that was between us and it just felt wrong! I trust my boyfriend completely but am so scared now that he confides in her things that are personal to us. He still wants to stay friends with her and I won't tell him not to do that... they have been in contact since then too and I try not to let it get to me but I'm having a hard time getting past it.

POST: So, I have some neighbors. They are not bad people per se, but they have a few habits I'd like to break as they annoy the living shit out of me and everyone else in the vicinity. -They have an ever-changing array of SUVs parked in the driveway, the grass, and at odd angles in the street. There are something like 10 adults in the house and there's a car for each of them most of the time. Parking on the grass is obviously against county code, but a complaint gets a code guy out in oh, say....two months and usually in the middle of the day when they're all at work so whoever is home just pleads innocence and that's the end of that. -Apparently, they have some kind of law that each SUV shall be equipped with a sound system capable of producing bass reaching into the infrasonic spectrum. If they are in one of the vehicles, the music is on and the bass is rattling my windows. Washing the car? Turn up the bass. Sitting on the front porch? Bass! Car in the driveway and nobody's even outside? BASS! I and others have spoken to them about this on more than one occasion, but they seem to forget these conversations after a month or so and go back to cranking the oompa music. -They also drive like idiots even though we're in a residential area with no sidewalks and the streets are often full of adults and kids. They've been talked to about this, but again with the short/selective memory. TL;DR: . Assistant:

I think I brought up the exclusivity talk too early (around the 5th date), and when I had asked if he was looking for an exclusive thing, he replied with a sheepish, "uh, I don't know." I said, "oh, okay." We kept seeing each other, and when I had stumbled across his okcupid profile, I texted him, "oh, you're on okc X)." He replied really quickly, saying "oh lol yeah but I never use it. and never had much luck with it. you?" and I had said, "tried it a bit in the past." The next day, he texted me, "I'm not seeing anyone else, if that's what you're afraid of." I told him "that's good to know. I'm not either." He hasn't been on the okc account since January, though I have also stumbled across his profile on another friend/dating site, that he does go on seemingly on a weekly basis (howaboutwe.com). He's bought me a gift recently (a soap holder that he said was my color). He's said some rather nice things like, "You make me feel safe," has called being with me "addictive," and told me I was pretty... I'm not really sure where we are now, and I don't really want to have that conversation with him again. I also haven't had a lot of experience with relationships (he said he hasn't either), so any outside opinions on what it seems like this thing we're doing is would be great. Thanks in advance!

I figured I would just have fun with a lot of girls, and end it when I got tired of them. I started talking to this one girl who was a grade below me, and it was obvious she was the most beautiful girl I've ever had a relationship with. Our first date was significantly better than the others, and I felt an immediate connection. Around 3 weeks later we became official. For around a month I still figured this wasn't too serious and we would just have fun while we can. However, I quickly realized I felt something I never felt with anyone else. I told her I was in love with her, and she felt the same way. Now, four months into it, we do everything together, we have so much in common, and I can honestly say she is my best friend. We agreed to try a long distance relationship because we both can see us being together for a long time, and also she is most likely attending my college next year. This year, she is coming up to my college most weekends. We will see each other at least 8 days a month. My question is, is it wrong of me to "throw away" my freshmen year of partying and hooking-up to pursue marrying this girl, or follow my heart and stay with her? TL;DR: . Assistant:

I have no idea what to do about it now POST: Let me start off by saying I've been single for about 6 years now. My relationship skills are a bit rusty, which is probably what got me into this. I was dating a guy (not my current boyfriend, let's call him Patrick) for about 2 months starting in May. He went to the same school as me but moved back home when he graduated, about and hour and a half away from me. We would text and talk everyday and went on about 4-5 dates during this time. Then out of nowhere (to me, anyway), he tells me he's not up to do long distance and says we should just be friends. I'm heartbroken, of course, because I really liked this guy and thought we were actually headed somewhere. Anyway, while I was dating the previous guy, a mutual friend invited me to watch the GoT season finale with him and his friend (my current bf, let's call him Will). I thought he was cute but didn't think anything more of it because I was already interested in Patrick. Fast-forward to a month or so later. I'm not dating anyone anymore. Will hears from our mutual friend that my job is hiring. He comes in to apply and also asks me on a date. After our second date, he asked me to be his girlfriend. I said yes mainly out of shock and I was still hung up on being sorta dumped by Patrick. But we've been dating for 2 weeks now and we hardly know anything about each other or talk very often (he sometimes takes a full 24 hours to reply to texts from me). I want to dump him or at least regress to just dating since we went so fast, but he hasn't dated in a while either. I don't know what to do because I don't want to hurt his feelings, make our mutual friend feel awkwardly in the middle, but I also don't feel good about this relationship. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I don't actually know my current boyfriend all that well and I don't think I want to date him anymore.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me (28f) with boyfriend (29m) lacking intimacy caused by his depression. Wondering how to be supportive and dealing with feelings of guilt. POST: We've been together about a year but have been friends for 7 years. I had gotten out of an emotionally abusive relationship with a man who was severely mentally ill (delusional, heard voices, manic depression and so on) before I started dating my current bf, I'll call him Adam. I loved because he was sweet, caring, didn't have a quick temper, treated me with respect and so on. It was much different from my last relationship. Adam also had a good job, master's degree and took care of himself. Ambition and handsome, the whole package Well the industry hes worked in for the last 8 years and has his master's in has taken a sever down turn. His friends are all being laid off, including him. There's little to no jobs available and he's been unemployed for 4 months. He no longer works out. He's almost completely stopped walking his dog. I do it when I get off work (he usually comes with, but I need to make the suggestion) and we hardly communicate now. He also suffered a knee injury from work which makes excersing difficult. Which wad one of his favorite things and we often enjoyed running together. I told him recently I need more intimacy and our lack of communication has been making me very unhappy. He apologized and is trying but I feel awful that he things he needs to force a smile around me. I feel guilty for feeling liked this because I'm not trying to make his problems about me, but I don't know how to be supportive anymore. I loved him for his sense of humor and ambition (among other things) but they've both almost disappeared. After dealing with someone depressed for so long in my last relationship I find it exhausting trying to maintain my current one. He feels like his body is broken and that he's wasted his life on a degree that's now pointless. I can't say I blame him for being depressed but I can't keep going like this. TL;DR: . Assistant:
boyfriend has lost his job and has a degree in an industry with a grim outlook. He's suffered an injury that's kept him from excersing. Not sure what to do, his depression is making me unhappy.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My [16 F] best friend [18 M] got a college girlfriend and doesn't speak to me anymore. POST: Throwaway since he knows my username. So my friend (let's call him Jake) left for college a few months ago. Jake has been my best friend for the last couple of years, and I took it pretty hard when he had to leave. He promised to visit every so often, and we still texted/ facebook messaged quite often. We cared a lot about each other; we helped each other with our problems and he was just a lot of fun to be around. However, maybe two or three months after he left, Jake got a girlfriend. She seemed really awesome and since this was his first girlfriend, Jake was over the moon. He told me everything about her. And I honestly could not have been happier for him. It started getting a little frustrating when Jake would visit, as he would be texting his girlfriend the **entire time.** Not even exaggerating. I would be talking to him, and he would just nod his head and stare at his phone. I didn't want to bug him about it; I knew that he was happy about having a girlfriend and they seemed really good together. But slowly, the facebook conversations stopped. He didn't visit anymore. And every single time I tried to talk to Jake, he was with his girlfriend. The last conversation I had with him, I asked if he didn't like talking to me anymore, or if he was tired of me. He said no, but we haven't talked since. I did see him one more time after that over Christmas break at a game night a bunch of my friends were at, but he brought his girlfriend with him and he didn't even look at me. Since the majority of my friends have left for college, I've been incredibly lonely. Losing my best friend has just made everything worse, and I can't think about him without getting super upset. As far as I know, it wasn't anything I did that made him stop talking to me, but I can't help but feel that it's my fault. How do I get my best friend back? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Make it or break it; different during marriage? POST: I had a conversation with a mentor of mine a while back about partners and "deal-breakers" that merit automatic termination of the relationship. I know that people think harder about splitting up if they're married rather than dating if someone is found having cheated, but what about situations like the following? My mentor was describing a situation to me where her husband had lied to her about selling one of their vans in order to get an SUV for their growing family. It was one of those scooby-doo kind of vans that had fuzzy carpet inside. She forgave him, even though she was really pissed off about 1) him not selling the van and 2) lying about it. This is context of the van being disputed between them for several years, and it was obvious that their family needed a more family friendly car. Now with that said... she said that if this had happened while they were dating, and that she had seen these kind of qualities from him before their wedding, she would have broken up with him right away. Of course since they ARE married, they worked on it and patched things up. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Do you think its fair for me to ask my girlfriend to stop drinking if she wants me to stop smoking marijuana? POST: I have been smoking weed for the past few years almost daily, with a few weeks off here and there. I have had a steady job and am living comfortably with money, a car, and everything else I need. In other words, I feel I am a functioning 'pothead'. My girlfriend (of a couple weeks) is pretty opposed to me smoking marijuana and wants me to stop. Unfortunately she also has a habit (lately, at least because of summer) of going out drinking 3-5 times a week. Each time getting drunk... not completely wasted, but still too drunk to drive. Which is where I come in, I'm usually high but not drunk at all by the time we leave. Inevitably I end up driving people home. ANYWAYS, do you think it'd be over the top to say something to the effect of: "I'm opposed to you getting drunk and would like you to stop." ? I'm not trying to start an argument but I can't think of another way to get my point across. One idea is for me to just not drink at all when we go out, save a beer or two, and instead occasionally hit my cigarette-pipe outside unnoticed. I told her how many people have died from smoking weed and she didn't really believe me... Maybe I could educate her. Any advice on how to convince her I'm alright? TL;DR: . Assistant:

I smoke and so I thought it would be a great idea to smoke a blunt inside the house. I never smoke blunts so I didn't know about the lingering smell of one. So we were chilling and playing pool and music in the basement blowing most of the smoke out the window of course for a few hours before my mom gets home and as time went by and we realize it smells a bit around the living room area from the basement, we open up some windows for a bit before we leave. My mom comes home from work a few hours later and calls me "Who was in my house smoking weed?!"

The main issue is that my gf is a little bit of a "follower" when it comes to her friends. She always tries to please everyone rather than make compromises and has trouble saying no to her friends. This is a perfect example of that. In Australia we have this massive event called schoolies after graduating high school where graduates gather, usually along the beach in Queensland to drink, do drugs and just celebrate the end of high school in general. Well My GF's friends basically said that they don't want me to come with her cause they want it to be a "girl's thing". And of course my gf agrees and doesn't counter or say why she wants me to come. She's just like "well I tried but the girls don't want you there." And this isn't just for a few nights it's a whole two weeks of her going up there. She was raised in a very strict Jewish household so she is definitely going to be drinking, smoking pot and doing drugs as a way of rebelling against her parents. Which is all fine cause I like that stuff too, I just feel like I'm missing out on all the fun, you know? Also lastly my gf is incredibly good looking, has a very nice body and her face is very symmetrical (attractive). Whenever we go to clubs or bars together she gets approached by at least 3 or 4 guys a night so is it wrong for me to be worried about that sort of stuff?? TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: I ordered a christmas gift for my friend over two months ago. I contacted the seller via e-mail and didn't hear from them for over a week. I then hunted down their Facebook Page and direct messaged them there. They told me their screen printer had been closed for the holidays and my package would be sent out "soon." Again I waited over two weeks with no package. I direct messaged them again and they replied back saying that one of the totes full of packages had been left behind at the office and he would straighten it out on that coming tuesday. Two weeks again go by and I message him again. He states that my package had been sent out (coincidentally that same day, probably before replying to my message). I waited another two weeks and FINALLY the package arrived today. My friend says I should definitely ask for a partial refund or discount because of the time it took to get the package. I missed christmas AND valentine's day as opportunities to give this gift, which really sucked. I am totally satisfied with the product and am willing to do business again, but apparently I'm not the only one this happened to. Am I in the right for asking for a discount/coupon/refund? TL;DR: .

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I am abnormally afraid of the prospect of intimacy/relationships. How do I go about getting over this? POST: I am a 22 year old guy. Never been in a romantic relationship. Furthest I have ever got with a girl was in 8th grade summer, where a girl kissed me a few times. I have recently come to terms with the thought that all my depression (and whatever other mental illnesses I think I may have) stem directly from lack of a romantic relationship. (And before anybody comments saying that previous statement IS my problem... trust me... I know. Please refrain from telling me to work on myself, as I have been doing this for several years... I am a drastically improved person compared to how I was 4 years ago.) Any chance I have ever had with a girl, and even the prospect of dating scares me. I don't get how something I can want so badly can be this scary. My mind is seeming to work against my happiness. I no longer want to be afraid of phsyical intimacy, sex, or communicating my feelings openly. I don't want to live alone, or die alone. I am a pretty sociable guy for the most part. And somehow, I am AMAZING at getting along with the my friends girlfriends... but whenever I am pursuing an interest for myself, I just can't seem to be myself. I have this one friend who I have been considering asking out for a while now... but any time I get close to doing it, I can just never get the words out. Even with the belief I have that love cannot happen unless you are willing to have your heart broken, I still can't do it. I think I am more afraid of getting a "yes" than a "no". I feel incredibly foolish having to post this to a bunch of Internet strangers... but I don't really know where else to turn. I have been called a pussy by who I consider to be my best friend when I brought this up with him. I hope that doesn't happen here. TL;DR: . Assistant:

This is our biggest argument ever. POST: I've been dating my boyfriend for two years, and we've always agreed on visiting over at his house every weekend. This is the only time I usually get to see him. I spend the night there and my grandmother (who I'm very grateful for) watches my dog so I can stay there. Previously I've visited him and left the dog home alone by herself the whole weekend, which I now realize is awful. Not only is it abusive to the dog, but she does her business everywhere and the smell makes me very ill. Anyways, last week my grandmother said that she might not be able to watch the dog so I should stay home. I was disappointed, but agreed. I let my boyfriend know and asked if he would be upset with me and he said no, and that he understood. We both acknowledged that it sucked but it was what I have to do. Fast forward to today and my boyfriend is very angry at me. It's as if we never had the conversation about how I had to so this and that yes I'd miss him but it's something I need to do. I've constantly reminded him that he said he wouldn't be upset and he's replied "Well I guess I lied." He's also replied "I guess you just mean more to me than i do to you" which really upsets me... My best guess at why he's so angry is that I used "might have to stay home" instead of "I have to stay home"... TL;DR: . Assistant:

I think nothing of it and just talk to her to just to get to know her. Over time we both grow feelings for each other, i express mine and she doesn't. One day she opens up to me and lets me know that she has feelings for me. We went out to a park for a few hours just to talk and we end up holding each other for a while. We go to the park 3 more times. Each time i can see that she is feeling guilty and she tells me that we should stop talking cause she doesn't feel right. We both agree that we are not doing the correct thing, (i later find out that its emotionally cheating) we decide to stop talking until she is single. She has been with her bf for 5 years and i have never been in a serious relationship. I was just expressing my emotions and i felt so right with this girl, i stepped back after we talked and i realize i was being a jerk and disrespecting her relationship.

My girlfriend and I (32 F and 32 M, respectively) have known each other for a little over 10 years. We dated for 4 years when I started grad school including 3 years of a long-distance relationship (Hawai'i to Boston; major distance and time zone difference).

She graciously let's me move into her small apartment while I hunt for jobs (and maybe my own place?) We're suddenly playing house like an old married couple, cuddling, holding hands, dinner dates, etc. just nothing hot-and-sweaty romantic. She isn't interested in my advances. She doesn't like to talk about the issue, but says she just doesn't feel attracted to me in that sense right now. She tells me she loves me very much, and I definitely share the sentiment.

POST: I am coming to reddit because so far I haven't been able to find a legit animal behavioralist in my area. (I understand reddit is no substitute for that.) A little background. . . I have a 3 year old Australian Shepherd. He is very well behaved for the most part. He listens to all basic commands and makes good eye contact most of the time. He is quite defensive of the yard and property. If someone comes to the door or a loud car drives by he barks and growls. He quickly quiets down when you ask him to. (Most of the time except when he is in the yard alone) He gets along very well with other dogs and people. If someone new is coming to the house he is standoffish at first but quickly is very friendly. (As long as I say its ok) He is well excercised for the most part. (Walk to a field and then 45 minutes+ of running/fetch/frisbee) In the winter time he goes outside less but doesn't seem to act any differently. I do alot of indoor training/play with him as well. The other day my friends phone rang and he stood up about to answered it. At the same time my dog started growling and attacked him. He stopped after a few seconds (gave him sit commands etc) but was still very heated. My friend went in the other room for his phone call and it seemed like my dog wanted to follow him. We both thought the ringtone agitated him. Are there any clear cut training methods to stop this behavior? It happened twice now with two different people. He is completely fine with the person before and shortly after it happens. It really comes out of nowhere. I have tried to replicate the scenario but haven't been able to. I have also shown him a ringing phone etc. Also if anyone has tips about making him less defensive of the yard it would be great! Sometimes he barks at people that are 4+ houses away. Once he bolted out the door and barked and circled the mailman. I have watched a bunch of youtube videos and done alot of googling but haven't found anything that worked yet.I get that this particular breed is quite defensive. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Deeply regret it POST: So my girlfriend and i of about a year were talking about the long term us and how the age gap would play into our relationship down the line. I really love this girl with all my heart and i cant imagine being with anyone else right now. She said that my age makes things difficult for her and she wants to eventually settle down. I said that because of my age, i might not be the right one for her. That is where i fucked up. She immediately started crying and said it was the most hurtful thing I've ever said. She said that it shows just how eaisly i would give her up and to find someone else because i dont care enough to try harder for her. I deeply regret saying it and she hasnt talked to me since. Im worried that she thinks i dont care about her nearly as much as i should. Im not sure where to take it from here. Replies are much appreciated. TL;DR: . Assistant:

(F) POST: Okay, I have done a bit of online dating and have had good results (3 more than a year relationships, 2 proposals.) The problem is I never meet anyone I am REALLY into, they are all great guys, but they just don't do it for me. I finally caved and signed up for EHarmony. Mostly everyone is "meh." But this one guy contacted me, and I am like, yep, you are awesome. I sent him back the next automated step (EH is totally lame set up of forced communication) and he never wrote back (The first step is totally generic so it is not like I gave new info he would not be into). Of course he is the ONLY guy who stopped communication while I'm getting nudges from everyone else and their dads. Here is the question: Do I reach out and contact him? (On EH this would require me sending him an email that is accompanied by: "This user would like to skip recommended steps in our process, do you agree to waving....") Two trains of thought: 1. Of course! Why shouldn't girls reach out. What do you have to lose? He may have just gotten busy matching socks at home. 2. Uh, he's not that into you. He is obviously on a dating site, contacting people, so it is not that he is being shy. He logs in regularly. If was interested, he would reply. And if I do break my internal rules, what could I possibly say? "Hey, I noticed that you haven't replied for 3 weeks. I think you are making a grave error." TL;DR: . Assistant:

I have a long distance girlfriend in Retford, Nottinghamshire, UK and I myself am from Arkansas. I bought my ticket in the middle of May as a one way there, then discovered how scathing customs can be towards one ways from anywhere really if I don't have the fudiciary backing and appropriate documentation of such. I'm looking to find out what kind of hell I'm in for because the flight is...tomorrow. I bought a separate one way back from London for exactly 59 days from the landing date, we were told by someone in the ministry of defense (not any travel portion, naturally) but that they wouldn't bat an eye or start scrounging me for my bank information (which I can't afford to have checked, plenty of money but it's in installments and not something I'd like our governments to have their noses in) that so long as it was within 60 days they wouldn't bat an eye. Can anyone confirm or deny that ? Guys I can't afford to be flagged at Customs and turned around, it's our first time meeting and we've been working and saving up since New Years putting absolutely everything into meeting one another...I just wish I knew what to expect, any information is beyond appreciated, especially from anyone from the states who's been on an elongated trip there, or anyone over the pond !

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/tifu TITLE: TIFU by thinking I was the turtle whisperer POST: This happened when I was around 12. I found a turtle in my back yard, put it in a box, and brought it inside. From experience and from TV I had developed an understanding that I couldn't *force* an animal to be friends with me. I felt a sense of pride in my maturity for realizing it might take time for this turtle to like me. I covered my floor in newspaper, took him out of the box. Then I went and sat on the floor across the room. I had the fanciful idea that if I was patient enough, the turtle would warm up to me even though I removed it from its natural habitat, family, friends, etc. I sat there and waited. Sure enough, the turtle began slowly crawling over to me. I was ecstatic but I sat there playing it cool for almost 45 minutes. The turtle made his way across my room inch-by-inch as I daydreamed that he actually wanted to sit in my lap, play with me, etc. "All it took was a little patience," I smugly thought as the turtle finally arrived. As soon as he was close enough to reach me, he stuck out his neck and bit me really hard. Dejected, I put him in the box and took him back outside. So his (defensive) attack, while painfully slow, was effective. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I took a wild turtle indoors and patiently waited for 45 minutes while it crawled across the room to me, thinking it wanted to be friends. all it wanted that whole time was to bite me.

POST: My husband and I have been together for 10 years. We moved to another country 8 months ago for his job. I have been trying to get my visa sorted out and it is still not approved. Because I have been on a tourist visa I am unable to work. I have no job, no savings, no money in my bank account. I also have no friends in this country because I do not speak the native language. My husband has decided to leave me because I am infertile. We found out I was infertile 4 years ago when I was trying to get pregnant and could not. He said he was ok with not having kids. Now he has changed his mind. He is at work right now and said he would like me to move out as soon as possible. I don't know what to do. I am estranged from my family and don't think I can go back to my home town and stay with them. I have reached out to the family member I was closest to but still have not gotten a response. I also reached out to the friend I knew best before we moved overseas but she did not consider me a good friend and is not willing to help me. I am looking at flights right now because I can put that on a credit card. But other than my home country I have no particular destination. I have no way to support myself until I find a job.

So, I know 4 years doesn't sound like that long, especially at my age. But I was sexually harassed for the first time at 14, and then again at 15, and then had more severe issues at 16 with a guy taking advantage of me. I have received counseling, but I struggled- and still struggle- with trusting men. I would say that by societal standards, I'd be considered objectively attractive, so I get asked out and approached a lot, but I've never really been comfortable saying yes until this particular guy. On top of all that, I have OCD. So I have my first date in four years, and I'm scared. I can't shake this irrational fear that something bad will happen to me, even though I like this guy quite a bit. Any advice or words of comfort or even helpful statistics? I'm a very logical person and statistics resonate with me, so if anyone has any that are relevant, that could help too. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: In a healthy relationship, but still scared from past. POST: This is my first post, so bear with me: I [F] was in a relationship for almost two years with my first real boyfriend. I started talking to him about a month after I was released from the hospital (I was there as a high-risk patient with clinical depression). He helped me get my life back in order, and gave me something to love. We were serious and very committed, or so I thought. After much talk, we did eventually become intimate. After the first year he started acting differently. He became demanding and distant, but I obeyed because he was all I knew. I was completely in love with him and was positive I would kill myself if I wasn't with him. By then, he had become abusive. I never told anyone. Near the end, I found evidence that he had cheated numerous times. Even then, I wouldn't break it off. It took my two closest friends to convince me to break up with him. After I broke up with him (which I had to do on his voicemail because he was at his other girlfriend's house), I still had a hard time getting over my addiction to him. One of my best friends, coincidentally a co-worker of ^his, started becoming more than just a friend. Nowadays, this friend is my boyfriend. He treats me better than anyone I've ever known, I love him and I know the feeling is reciprocated. Recently, I started having nightmares and fears about getting in too deep again, about feeling addicted again, and being abused again. I KNOW this guy would never hurt me on purpose, and I have talked to him about it. But how do I get over this irrational fear? TL;DR: . Assistant:

We really had a lot of fun together, everything was great until recently. It just seems like every time we're together now, we'll pick fights with each other. It'll always be about the stupidest things, and afterwards we'll always resolve it, but it's really taken it's toll on our relationship. I know it sounds like we should just break up, but I really want it to work out. Actually he's a really good guy, and we have the same sense of humour, values, and sex is great. I just don't know why recently we can't seem to stand to be with each other. We both recognize the problem, and have discussed it. Neither of us want to break up or are interested in anyone else, and we really want to fix the issue. I think it's a problem of ego since our arguments are usually I'm right, you're wrong which then goes on to why did you say this, what did you mean when you said that. It's really about the most trivial things, but we don't seem to realize it until after we've fought and hurt each others feelings. Has anyone else experienced the same thing?

She gave me a framed picture of the Seattle skyline for my birthday last year. It's a pretty cool picture and I have it hung in my entry way. We broke up a few months ago, and she said she'd come by at some point to pick up the stuff she left at my house. The stuff consists of some random articles of clothing, some board games, and some bobble heads. I have no problem returning these to her. However, she is demanding that I give back the picture which I don't think she has the right to do. At this point, I almost want to just keep it for the principle of the thing. So we were not very civilly discussing this today, and I told her if she wants the picture back, then I'll drill a hole through the middle of it and put it in her bag of stuff. She then threatened that if I do that, she will call the police. One: Does she have any case with the police? That picture has been hanging in my house for months. Two: Should I just bite the bullet and give it back? I feel like that just validates her threats. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: How do I stop being mopey and attached to a selfish boy? POST: So long back story ahead. Basically I was in a relationship for about 6-7 months (he's 20, I'm a 19 year old female) and then he decided he wanted to travel Europe and figure out what he wanted from life, so that meant us breaking up. It was my first real boyfriend, as I've been scared of commitment for a while, so he is the only guy I've ever brought home. The day he left we both cried our eyes out, and he didn't even want to leave anymore. We told each other no expectations, but I guess emotions got the better of us and we discussed that we would get back together when he's back. I've been coping so well with it up to this point because we've still had communication, it's still felt as though he's there. That's changed now though after he decided to avoid me altogether. We skyped, snapchatted, messaged eachother, the works; even while he's in Europe. Now I'm lucky to get a response back, and I asked him recently if me talking to him is making him sad, all he said was that he's "all good, just really busy" which I don't really buy. I've travelled Europe, and I always had oodles of time between flights, trains, car trips and so forth to catch up with everyone and read. I don't believe he would lie about not caring, but I think he's just hiding the truth. Perhaps he's over me? Wants to be single? Or maybe he just isn't infatuated with me enough to bother. I honestly have no way of knowing, but it still doesn't stop me from thinking about it all. the. time. The way he behaves makes me question whether or not we should get back together, and I just wish I could move on and stop thinking. I try to see other guys and keep myself occupied, but it doesn't work. It's just so frustrating to have the one person I finally let myself trust knowingly go ahead and further amplify my anxieties about commitment. It also stings knowing how happy he is compared to me.

We then found messages sent from a random mobile phone number to his saying things like "meet me here/pub" or "can't meet you today at 12", "want a massage? ;P". We then phoned the number and a woman picked it up. We didn't ask her anything, and put the phone down. We then began adding things up. He had been acting suspisciously for a while now. He would coem back from work and change then go back out. He was getting new clothes, being more aggressive, etc. I've never had a good relationship with him. (He abused my mother a lot and said I wasn't his child). He forced her to have an abortion, he is such a piece of shit. I absoloutly hate his guts. Anyway, my sister told my mum today and she phoned him. She said "come home straight, I know what your doing". His response was to say "OK" and he cut the phone off. I seriously want to plant my fist into his fat head. He tries to keep us under his thumb. I stand up for myself and my family now and he hates it. He says I "talk too much" and "disrespect him". My mum just puts up with him, she hardly stands up to him. I just don't know what to do. He makes all the money (my mum has a low wage) so we rely on him.

However, my two collegues [18/m] and [26/m] make me feel uncomfortable. When I told them my age, the older of the two started trying to set me up with the one my age, asking if I wanted to go for a drink. I took this lightheartedly and they then asked if I was single, to which I replied "no, I have a girlfriend", but they continued, with the younger one saying that he "still has a chance". There was also a lot of vulgar talk about their sex life and genitals. This pretty much continued throughout the whole shift, with the two making jokes about the younger one going out with me, and when it was time to leave, he offered repeatedly to drive me home, even though I insisted that my dad was picking me up.

POST: Before I get called a misyoginist let me give a bit of background. I was the nice kid in hs who was very trusting of others, waited a whole year to ask his crush out to get shut down. Many more things happened after that affected my hesitant attitudes in all things involving long term relationships. I was raised around mostly women and I am a very emotional guy.There was once a pattern of women constantly telling me "you're too emotional" which I have been working through. Now my issue is that I tend to dismiss anything positive about a girl I meet even if it seems as if we had a great time. I have become emotionally distant to the point of not caring a bit about women I have slept with for months. This is obviously not healthy and I want to take steps to change that. About 9 months ago I met a girl who was so amazing in my eyes. The best way I could describe it was that we discussed topics from history to culture for hours on the phone and it was some of the best times I have had. I usually get bored after a minute on the phone wih other girls and rather text. Anyway she ghosted me after a couple weeks without any reason.I know it could have been the way I acted in our last date since I was being very sexually suggestive even though she clearly expressed it was too early. The thing is I wanted something real with her but I was telling myself how she was not the best I could do physically and all those other things. How do I become a more respectful guy when it comes to dating? I sometimes act like a jerk and act careless while I know a part of me doesn't feel good about that behavior. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: I've had a problem since I started dating, I lose the interest in the other person as soon as I know how they feel about me. I can obsess over someone for months but when the other person gets close BOOM all the feelings disappear. I can't really believe they weren't true feelings in the first place because it' not just a matter of weeks, sometimes it can be years. And I don't get over it only by sleeping with the person, sometimes it's just a kiss or a declaration that makes it go away. So I'm tired of acting like a bitch, because yeah that's kind of the word that describes acting like you're madly in love and the next day forgetting the person. But really it's not deliberate. I'm really into the person and then intimacy shows up and I can't deal with it. I try not to show it but of course at some point it's obvious. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: Some background: I've been having an existential crisis lately where I don't see any point of living other than to reproduce and die. (I don't want to put the burden of life onto someone else either!) I discussed it with my friends and came down to "enjoy your time here while you can", so I decided I'd focus on the things I love, which are videogames and sex. With my GF and I going to seperate colleges in a month, I figured that this would be the end and I would be able to finally get my sex life going and have some fun. (We will be 12hrs apart by car) So now that I'm overseas I thought I'd visit an erotic massage place and enjoy myself. I recieved unprotected fellatio for 20seconds before I suggested that she wrap it up. We then had protected intercourse. It was not very enjoyable. It made me realize sex is not just about pleasing yourself or your partner but its about the special connection you share. I really regret not rubbing one out before I left that day. When I got home that night I realized I had betrayed my SO's trust and I cried thinking about it. How it would hurt her knowing I did this. I realized how special she is to me. (I'm tearing up as I write this.) I sent her a message that night telling her how much she meant to me and I would stay in a long distance relationship so that we could move in together and that I will stay loyal to her for four years. I meant it and I mean it forever, this experienced changed me for the better. I'm out of my existential crisis now, I realized that my purpose is in life is to build a great one with her, together. How can I break it to her? I'm a very honest person so I can't go on seeing her each day knowing I took advantage of her trust. I return to my country soon.

POST: We have a good connection and deeply love each other. This being said, I can't help but feel that I'm passing up on a lot of beautiful women. I was never a handsome, nor charismatic guy in my (relatively) younger dating years and thus, I never really got that much attention from the opposite sex. I guess I've really blossomed and have been having to decline a lot of sexual advances lately. I'm not even out there looking for it: I don't flirt with these other girls (though of course, I engage in polite conversation if prompted) and I'm very conscious about not displaying certain types of body language. I never conceal the fact that I have a GF and often introduce this fact earlier on. My GF and I don't have any problems, especially where sex is concerned, though admittedly, it has become a tad stale. This doesn't mean that I'm itching for more/new sex, it just means that I don't look forward to the sexy times as much as I used to. All this being said, I just can't help feeling like I'm missing out. Polyamory for sure is not an option for discussion with her and I know it would hurt her very much if I tried to initiate that discussion.

Me and my girlfriend had recently just moved in together and had sat down to watch a movie one night. A little ways into the movie she decided it would fun to start tickling me, I'm extremely ticklish so it didn't take long for things to go horribly wrong. I was laying on my stomach and she went for a spot on the back of my leg and in my panic I swung around and managed to knee her in the face. Mostly stunned at first and in some pain she shook it off and we continued to watch the movie, until she noticed a clear like fluid dripping out of her nose. So we went to the emergency room to have her examined and what the fluid turned out to be was cerebrospinal fluid. So the fluid surrounding her brain was leaking causing it to sink on her brain stem and she began to have low pressure headaches. They put a drain into her spine to help relieve pressure off of the leak in her skull, but during the procedure the tech had missed his entry point and had mistakenly herniated one of her discs. As a result of this two of her vertebrae collapsed and are now putting pressure on a nerve. It has been over four years since that has happened, she has had a surgery to fix her collapsed septum, and will have several more procedures placing localized pain killers on her nerve endings to help her sciatica she now has as a result of the pressure from her vertebrae. Once they have the sciatica under control they will prepare her spine for surgery and begin the repair process on her vertebrae and herniated disc. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Do girls that say they "just want to play around/the field" etc, really mean it? POST: There's this girl [26] who is out of a 2 year relationship where her ex was cheating on her. It's been about 5 months. I've [27/m] had a few nights with her, we chatted a bit about what she wants etc, and I've not said I want a relationship (though she might have interpreted this) and she's basically said she just wants to "kiss all the boys" or flirt with everyone now that's she's single. She's still flirting with me, and definitely conflicted as to what she wants as we may have a plan to have a night together but then all of a sudden it's called off (not in a beating round the bush way, just "I think this may complicate things so it may not be a good idea" way.) I'm at wits end with what to do - tell her I really like her and would like to keep hanging out, with no expectations of a relationship or anything more serious than being friends who've shared a few nights together... or walk away and close the door on anything happening, i.e. stop flirting and just be friends. We had planned to talk about this since the last time it was called off, but neither of us have raised a time or place to discuss it. I feel like bringing the issue up etc puts me in a bad position and may make her want to avoid me. I'd really appropriate any insight or thoughts on the matter. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [28M] with my wife [28F] of 1yr, have issues delegating tasks to her. POST: I have issues delegating (what I consider) pretty simple tasks to my wife. My schedule is pretty busy with work and I find myself asking her to do things like 1) go down to the HOA to talk about an issue that we both understand, 2) get ink cartridges refilled at Costco the next time she makes a trip, 3) get herself enrolled in a local junior college to take classes that she wants to take (she asked me for help getting started and I guided her to the online application, class schedule, etc), 4) fill out (or at least do the parts she can) her immigration paperwork, 5) make doctor's appointments and follow-ups. A lot of my impatience comes from me feeling like she's not putting in her best effort. I feel like I'm working with an uncooperative co-worker that doesn't know how to make a clean hand-off when they need help, and do it themselves when they don't need help. Everything I ask her to help out in doing, I end up spending more time in scattered (trivial) questions or helping with things out she can easily figure out by using Google. It's also personally very frustrating dealing with ineffectual people, and especially frustrating when there is a failure to complete necessary tasks to live. I know that she never paid a bill in her life before we got together, i.e., she didn't have much of the procedural skill set needed to survive. It seems like it could just be an avoidance/lack of confidence in doing these things. How can I help with this? I don't get what the problem is, because she puts in a lot of effort to take care of the domestic needs of our home and does a great job at it. It also doesn't seem like it'd be asking too much as she doesn't work and doesn't seem overloaded with what she does at home. She definitely isn't lazy. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Can't seem to get my wife to help out with anything other than home-tasks and don't know what the problem is. What's wrong and how can I help fix it?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I [26M] am having issues with a college classmate [20M] POST: Using a throwaway account because a couple of my classmates are redditors. Without going into too much detail about the class, I'll just say that the program I'm in is healthcare related, and class sessions are frequent. Furthermore, the class size is very small, and many of my classmates I already know from the previous semester. I'm having an issue with a particular classmate. For the most part he [20M] and I get along just fine. However, I've come to the realization that he only calls/text when he need something. The most irritating part is all the things he needs help with are things he should be able to figure out on his own. I, and the rest of my class, are able to do it, but he can't. At one point, he even asked me to help him cheat in another class, but I told him to piss off. I'm trying to remain civil because we're going to be with each other throughout this program, but it's getting harder not to give him a piece of my mind. I'm definitely OK with helping out a friend, but I don't consider him one, and if we weren't in class together, I wouldn't talk to the guy. I made the mistake of helping him before, and now he thinks he can come to me all the time. He's also the kind of person that asks for help and then argues about your advice. How does Reddit deal with these kinds of people? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Classmate I see all the time comes to me asking for help, realized that's the only reason why he talks to me, tired of being used, what do I do?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My [29M] girlfriend [25F] got drunk and ruined our date night POST: This evening, my girlfriend and I planned to go out on the town and enjoy ourselves. We've both been working hard and needed it. We'd had the plans for about a week, but a couple of days ago, a female coworker invited her to her house for dinner. I encouraged her to go because I'd like to see her make some friends; and I stayed home because I wanted them to have their "girls night". Around dinnertime I texted her to have a good time, she responded with I love you, all that good stuff. Less than 2 hours later she texts me that she's so sorry, she wasn't going to drink and but now she's "really drunk" and will get her friend to drive her home. Did I mention that she is a hot mess when she gets drunk? Stumbling, slurring, falling down, embarrassing. And she can't control how drunk she gets. She texts me every so often, but as our date is getting pushed farther and farther back, I start to get annoyed. She drunkenly texts me what's wrong, I say let's talk about it later, so on and so forth. Until 1:30 in the morning. I call her and she drunkenly says "I'm gonna stay at her house and she'll take me back tomorrow I'm sorry I'm so sorry". That's basically it. I'm so annoyed that I can't even fall asleep. We were really looking forward to this date. And I have to call her to find out what the deal is. Her cell phone died during the call so if I hadn't, I would have just gone to bed worried about her. Am I in the wrong to be upset here? How do I deal with her drinking without me in the future? Because it's always like this. It's really stressful to me. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Secret Santa Debacle - Me [32F] + Work Colleagues [M + F late 20s/early 30s?] POST: I read this subreddit religiously but as my husband and I can't agree on what I should do here and I have nobody I can talk to about it, I'm posting here. Am on mobile so sorry for any spelling/grammatical errors. I've organised my work secret santa/kris kringle this year as I do every year. Our team has a few interstate people so they're included too. It was all opt-in and anyone interested signed up via the Elfster link so it wasn't like I pressured anyone into participating who didn't want to. It's a $20 limit/budget. It's up to the gift giver too if they want to reveal their identity at the end. As I'm friends with a lot of people in the office, I already know who a lot of people have as they've asked me what to get their secret santas. One guy who is interstate (let's call him Dougie) told me he has my work friend Trish. He was in town this week so when I saw him he gave me his gift for Trish so i could hang onto it for him and give it to her next week when we do the exchange. You guys - He told me he picked it up from a 7-11 on his way to our work xmas party. It's a little blue wooden clock that looks like he got it from the $2 shop. Not to mention - Trish was with him waiting outside when he ran in to get it and was joking that he was probably getting his secret santa present from a convenience store. What do I do? He's given it to me to wrap and give to her. I really want to spend my own money and give her a different gift (like a word of the day calendar or something she would actually like - English isn't her first language) or maybe just drop it at her desk anonymously the morning of - but my husband is saying it's not my problem. But it's such a shitty present... she's going to be really disappointed when she opens it. Help. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Girl at work is going to get a crap secret santa gift. Do I get her a replacement gift instead or try to fix it?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My ex-girlfriend [21] broke up with me a few weeks ago, yet still wants to hangout with me [22] every day. POST: Hey all, I just recently was on the receiving end of my first breakup. After about five months I was told the reasoning was chemistry and her not being over her old boyfriend. The breakup wasn't dramatic, and she moved out shortly thereafter; however, she still keeps in contact with me via text in the mornings / nights, and I see her at least once or twice a day. She knows full well how I feel about her, and how I am still in love with her, but I can't tell if she's flipped the switch and "friendzoned" me that quickly or not. I'm all for giving her space to do her own thing, and figure out her own issues... however, I can't help but feel a sting whenever we part without so much as a hug. Being the schlep that I am, I would still do anything for her and keep her as company for as long as possible (unless she started to date somebody else). I guess I would just like to know if it's possible to rekindle the romance, or if she is just looking for the chase again. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: [28f] Afraid to live together with [42M] as it might decrease our sex life. POST: I've never lived together with a partner. I really like the guy I've been seeing and he really likes me too. I am considering moving in with him, as he owns his place, it would help with my finances, he'll get my fabulous cooking, and it'll take our relationship to the next level. Due to his work, he is only in town 1 week per month, so moving in will allow us to spend more quality time together, when he is actually in town. Plus with time away, it wont be all clingy, and I will still have my space (which is important to me). But I am really genuinely afraid that we'll have less sex if we live together, and it'll be less fun, and less interesting (cause we'll constantly see one another... or be in one anothers' space). I *love* our intimate time, and don't want to lose that, and for that reason alone, I wouldn't mind being in a hard financial situation and keep my apartment, in order to preserve that special time. Money will come. Money will go.... awesome intimate time.... thats a rarity and it can't go!! haha... I am also afraid that if we live together, I'll (or he'll) find random things to be nit-picky about... and I don't want to do that... I want to be happy and I want him to be happy, I especially don't want to find odd things to be upset about. Even though I've never done that in my life.... you just see it in movies/TV... so maybe its an irrational fear? IDK. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/tifu TITLE: TIFU by dreaming POST: This one actually happened today, maybe four hours ago to be precise. My girlfriend and I have a very healthy sexual relationship. We're both open to trying things at least once and love to experiment with new ways of getting each other off. One request I've always had but has never worked is the infamous alarm cock blowjob. She's open to the idea but I'm such a light sleeper any alarm she sets just ruins the surprise aspect. Low and behold this morning she woke up before me naturally. She starts getting frisky while I'm deep in the dream cycle of sleep. As she starts fondling the boys and going to town I find myself 'waking up' naked in a camping store, full of customers. One old man in particular saw something funny going on under the blanket and died laughing. Panic mode sets in and as I look down I see that I'm no longer wearing my regular shoes. I have an army boot on one foot and powerlace nikes on the other. Frantically I begin searching the camping store for my shoes. When that fails I at decide I at least need to find one that matches one of the two I'm already wearing. They are nowhere to be found and I'm far too broke to buy new boots and a pair of powerlace nikes. Somewhere around here the panic hits a peak and I actually wake up, jump out of bed screaming I have to find my shoes. The girlfriend is utterly confused and a little miffed at the result of her very generous sexual favor. She died laughing when I explained though. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Ruined my first real chance at a longstanding sexual fantasy by unnecessarily panicking about shoes. I gusss call me Suzan now.
