Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/BreakUps TITLE: Did I make a mistake? How long until this stops hurting? POST: I [M/20] broke up with my gf [19] of almost two years in the middle of December. We both go to separate colleges about 3 hours apart, and have been dating since the end of our senior year in high school. We've almost always been a LDR, except over breaks where I come home and stay with my parents, who live near where she lives and goes to college. I ended it because I felt that our relationship hasn't been growing when we were apart, despite phone and Skype calls. We're very different (she a performance major, me an engineer), and I often felt like we had nothing in common to talk about. When we're together, everything was great, but apart the best our relationship was was stagnant. It's been about six weeks now, and I still think about and miss her every day. She was my first, and my first love. I want to be friends with her, but we've hardly talked since the breakup, as I think it's too painful for both of us. When I think about how it hurt her, and hard it was, I still tear up. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I don't really get what the issue here is between me [24/M] and my [19/F] girlfriend. Little help? POST: So I've been with my girlfriend for about 8 months now. It's been great, I've seen her twice/three times a week for the whole duration. Good times. But she's moved back home with her parents after university for the summer so we're finding it hard to see each other as much, naturally. I work so can normally stay over a night or two before I head back home. All completely fair right? I have a job, I need to earn money! Anyway we've arranged a weekend at hers next weekend. I was looking forward to it, so was she but today out of the blue I get a 'I bet you won't stay 3 nights' text and when I questioned it I got told 'everything you say seems to be an excuse to leave' This all seemed totally and completely unwarranted. I hadn't said anything to ignite this and now she's a bit cold with me even though we didn't even have an argument really, just me questioning the whole thing. Seems like she wants me to stay forever just because I have loads of time away from work (I have a lengthy period from work for a month or so). It just seems a bit petty and I don't really understand it all. What's she getting at? Why does she have an attitude with me when really I have the right to be the one annoyed? Just some clarification would be great! TL;DR: . Assistant:
girlfriend questions how long I will stay at her parents house and insinuates I always have excuses to leave which isn't true at all.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: My cousin touches me when I'm asleep, Reddit, what should I do? POST: I'm a 25 year old female, and living with my aunt and uncle until I can get back on my feet. For now, I sleep in the living room on a cot. For the past few months I have, on several occasions, awoken in the middle of the night to my cousin either touching me or standing over my bed. The touches haven't been anywhere sexual, mostly my feet, and a couple of times my leg or stomach (still incredibly uncomfortable). It has only been in the past 2 months that I have been aware of this behavior, but previous to this there have been times when he went out of his way to "bump" into my feet under the table, or to sit close to me and touch my arm. Lately, when I have woken up to these unwanted touches, I tell him to leave me alone, and he backs off quickly, without a word. I have told my sister, who also sleeps nearby, and she tries to keep an eye out for me when she stays up late. We can't really say anything to my aunt or uncle because of our living situation, and our belief that they would take their son's side over ours, especially without proof. I find myself dreading going to sleep, and I've completely stopped talking to my cousin, opting to avoid all contact with him at all. He seems to show no remorse for his actions, especially after the first time I blatantly caught him in the act and told him for the first time to leave me alone. I can't stand this! What do I do? What's wrong with him? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/BreakUps TITLE: Need help with my ex POST: So my ex-girlfriend [17] and I [19] have been dating on in off since our Middle school years. Over the course of the past couple years we have dated about 3 times. the first two time we broke up we have already talked about and I have admitted it was my fault because I was simply too in experienced in dating to be able to hold up a good relationship; however, the last time we broke up which was the end of last November it was because she became very controlling and clingy and me still being in highschool (a senior at the time) was trying to figure out college and had a lot on my plate so I couldn't handle her as a high maintenance girlfriend right then so I suggested a break until everything had calmed down and she blew it out of proportions. I had every intent of getting back together with her in a couple weeks after I had finished all of my applications and semester exams but she wouldn't have any part of it. Well now she is visiting from out of town and she has been texting me telling me how she's missed me and missed seeing me even though she has a boy friend right now and she wants to get together and talk everything out in hopes of getting back together. I love this girl I know I do and while dating she was the most important person in my life but now I'm not sure what to do. My head is telling me she hasn't really changed and she will be the same controlling person I was with before yet I feel like we could work this out, and my heart is yelling at me to take her back. Idk what to do about it please give me some advice guys. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationship_advice TITLE: (26/f) No longer attracted to boyfriend (27/m). Keep waiting, or break it off and remain friends? POST: My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a year and for the past few months I just haven't been attracted to him. It's gotten to the point where I don't even like snuggling with him most of the time and I usually feel like I'm just waiting for sex to be over when it does happen. I have a pretty high libido and don't think that's the issue since I still masturbate frequently and fantasize about other people. He is still 100% into me, it almost seems like he's even more attracted to me than ever. When we first started dating, the attraction was definitely mutual, but I'm having a hard time remembering what turned me on about him. Now he just seems more like a relative or platonic friend. The problem is, this is the best relationship I've ever been in in every other way. We get along great and have similar interests, and literally everyone who knows us can't stop talking about what a perfect couple we are. I used to love hearing that, but now I just feel kind of sick because I know there's this huge issue. I've tried to identify things that might have led to this change. Obviously moving out of the initial honeymoon phase is going to lead to a decreased level of attraction, but it shouldn't be this extreme. My boyfriend has had some mounting health issues lately - he has back problems that have gotten worse, and some sort of digestive issues. This has caused him to come off as sort of weak and mopey a lot of the time, which isn't exactly attractive. Again, I don't feel like these issues should cause such a dramatic change in my feelings. I feel like if we broke up, we would remain close friends since we get along so well. Right now, that is appealing to me since that's basically how I feel towards him. I would really prefer to fix the attraction issue though, since we work so well in a relationship otherwise. I also know it would absolutely destroy him if I ended things, since he is head over heels for me. I honestly don't know what to do. TL;DR: . Assistant:
My boyfriend and I are perfect for each other, but I've recently stopped feeling sexually attracted toward him in any way and don't know if I should wait and hope the attraction comes back, or end things and move forward as friends.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [21 F] with my Boyfriend[22 M] of over three years, having problems with balancing boundaries and kink POST: Early on in our relationship my boyfriend and I had a porn tumblr blog together. We didn't post videos of ourselves (two or three nudes but that's it) but used it more to explore our kinks and look at others together. We are both into BDSM, pet play, but not heavy or 24/7. After moving in with family for a few months for financial reasons we dropped the blog because we didn't want any younger relatives to find it on our computer and we just haven't restarted it since. Although we had discussed the difference between doing things together and alone, and laid down cheating guidelines (look but don't touch, not even webcam sex) I recently had to let him know that replying to craigslist personals is cheating in my book. He is apologetic and willing to stop/change his habits but I'm worried. We have talked about threesomes before (he is bisexual) but now I am not sure because of the nature of his exchanges with strange women (no men replied to him, not sure if it's from lack of trying or what) I am now very paranoid that he thinks our relationship is open and/or that he will continue this in secret. He says he wouldn't have done anything physical without talking to me first but that he does find the idea of sex with a stranger or an occasional hook up arousing. He followed up by saying that he would rather explore these feelings within our relationship either through role playing or fantasizing and will not act on them. He has since shown me all the emails, deleted them and even agreed to counseling if needed (for himself for this and other issues he has been having). Is there anyway to continue being monogamous while still being into pornography and kink or does it open the door too much? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Kinky Boyfriend has permission to look but not touch, but now has been messaging women online(it's stopped now)/ Can we keep our monogamy and still be somewhat open online or is it too temping?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [30 M] have a huge crush on my counselor. POST: I understand the whole transference thing and having a crush on your counselor is fairly common. But I swear to god that the feeling is mutual. I've had counselor in the past and none have been like this. I've dated many girls and I know the queues. Yea I could be way off but this isn't the main reason for my post. SO because I have it in my head that it is mutual, I keep having these fantasies of firing her as my counselor and asking her out. She is only a registered clinical counselor so there is no law that she has to wait before going on a date. I totally understand that this sounds completely outlandish and it most likely is soooo... Maybe this should be part of my counseling. I have read all over the internet that if you start developing feelings for your counselor that you should tell them. I feel extremely shy to do it. I literally honestly do want to date her, if we met under any other circumstances we probably would. So what do I do? Just tell her? Fire her and ask her on a date? Just ignore these feelings entirely (don't like this one because it's hindering). Mainly it would be nice to hear from someone who went through something similar? TL;DR: . Assistant:
I want to date my counselor. I have a crush on her and I swweeaar the feeling is mutual. Should I tell her in session about my feelings, or should I just ignore them?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: I can't enjoy music anymore because of an obsessive tendancy. What can I do? POST: Ok basically this started with a pair of malfunctioning headphones and has now escalated into something which is affecting my day to day life. So one day my headphones broke, one ear went and so I had to buy a new pair. This ended up happening more than once, so i started becoming cautious and regularly checking. Eventually it happened again, with the bass going in one side. This is when the checking started becoming obsessive, I really started to try and hear any slight differences in the sound in either ear to check if any new problems were developing. It got to the point where I couldn't tell anymore and any slight differences bothered me. Eventually I got over the obsessive checking but it left me with a really unpleasant side effect: I can no longer actively enjoy music. When I try to listen to music on an mp3 player I end up just listening to the differences between headphones and not to the actual music itself and I can't stop myself doing it, kind of like when you pick out a particular rhythm in a song and you can't help but only notice that rhythm. This doesn't seem like a big deal apart from the fact music is a driving force in my life and I hoped to get into a career in music journalism after finishing university. You might say "just stop listening to music on your mp3 player" which I would do, but now the whole mess has tainted my enjoyment of music in other formats... simply because any music reminds me that I have this problem. This is causing me to become depressed and I just want to enjoy music again. I'm going to seek advice from a professional and hopefully get congnitive therapy but I wanted to know if anyone else has advice or has suffered similar problems and can give their two cents worth.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [25 M] with my ?? [25 F] weeks, - she's moving faster than the Starship Enterprise. POST: Ok so after breaking up with my partner of 4 years last month, my friends/family encouraged me to get out there, meet folk, be merry. I did this, at the suggestion of one of my friends I joined a dating site. I met someone who despite living far away said she often visited my area for work. We had a good time chatting but honestly I just got this real strong friend vibe from it. We casually flirted, she was really graphic on what she wanted to do, and like an awkward idiot I just kind of nodded and said "wow great." We talk everyday and she'd been hinting towards the idea that we were dating (we've never met in person). I don't know why but I was like ok and I went with it. I didn't see a harm in it. Unknown to me, she meant that we were an item, a couple if you will. I thought it meant we were two people seeing if we wanted more. I could handle that. Now she's telling me about how her sister has seen me on Facebook, her family and friends know about me, and like I haven't told anyone bar one guy about her and even that was "Well she's nice but there's no spark." The problem is, and I'm not proud of admitting this, I worry that if I say I just want to be friends I will actually lose the friendship. She is great to talk to, and we have a lot of good conversations but there's just not that spark on my end, she just feels like one of the guys to me. If I'm brutally honest, she's really helping me forget about my ex and while there's nothing romantic there I really could see us being great friends. What on earth do I do? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [24f] with bf [26m] of 8 months, uncomfortable with him going to a strip club (see more info inside) POST: Hi Reddit, Well the title says it all: I am uncomfortable with my man going to a strip club. While I have no issues with him watching porn, it makes me uncomfortable at the thought of him going to a strip club. I have gone to a SC a few times, and each time I was danced upon and so were the men in my group. This makes me uncomfortable. My bf is going for a bachelor party, and he hasn't seen this friend for a couple years. I told him that I was uncomfortable with him going but that I was not going to stop him if he wanted to go. The party is this Friday. To complicate things further (in my mind), is the fact that we have been having an issue in the bedroom lately. Mainly, my libido is higher than his, and he has turned down sex twice in the last two weeks. We have sex a decent amount, but he initiates less and less and it makes me feel unattractive. Last night I initiated sex, and when I went down on him he went completely "dead fish" on me. When I asked him what was wrong he said he was "hoping to get into it, but that he wasn't into it yet." This was after I had been rubbing and teasing him for almost 15 minutes and been sucking him off for a couple of minutes. We have talked about our difference in sex drives a couple of times, and he swears to me that he is "insanely attracted" to me and that he just "doesn't want sex all the time." (He has had two LTR, and in both sex dwindled to about once a month by the end of it.) So, I guess I am just trying to reconcile him wanting to go to a strip club and see other naked women when he doesn't want to pay attention to the one he has at home. It's bothering me a lot. TL;DR: . Assistant:

She wanted a serious relationship. To preface the situation - she told me about a time when she was having exams, and she vomited. Her parents or boyfriend at the time would take care of her. I came down with a bad fever and was coughing blood. I took a week off school and work. She took time off studying to spend half a day taking care of me. Two days later, she has her final exam. While I'm at home recovering, she calls me to let me know that she feels extremely ill and threw up in the middle of her exam. I tell her that she should call 911 immediately as I won't be able to come to her and she does that, and is hospitalized for the day. I do not visit her, as I feel quite sick and fear that I may have passed something to her. The next day, she goes home to recover, but is still feeling quite down. I go to visit my parents to pick up some mail. I ask if she needs anything at this time, and she declines, telling me that she doesn't need me to help her now. A week later, she tells me that she wants to break up over the situation. Her friend had to take care of her in the hospital, and he asked where her boyfriend (me) was. She also pointed out that I was feeling good enough to visit my parents. I was still coughing blood and had a fever at that point, and wasn't thinking very clearly. I had feared that I may have passed something to my girlfriend and that visiting her in the hospital could be bad for both of us. TL;DR: . Assistant:

We both go to the same college, live in the same town, etc. We started dating in February, and its been really nice. But, that's kind of the problem right now. There's no excitement, which I know is just the 'honeymoon period being over', or however you'd like to phrase that. Don't worry, there's more. We've never talked about anything serious (politics, religion, the future...), just because it's never really come up. It's been nice and relaxed, but I want more and I'm not sure if she does. I know I need to talk to her about that, but how do I bring it up? The impetus for all of these feelings is.... another girl. Who I like and think about a lot. She's 21, also goes to this college, and is the same major as I am. I probably started getting attracted to her because I helped her through breaking up with this guy who was kind of a tool. And now I've determined this - Given the magical ability to alter reality, I'd rather be dating the second girl than the girl I currently am dating. I don't know if she likes me, but I think so.

I told some serious whoppers in my time. The week before my ex and I split, I spent some time at a hotel room with this guy I knew, anyway we hung out and..you know. Had sex. Suffice to say my neck was covered in huge Hickeys that were EXTREMELY visible, and had turned into a dark red discolouration by the morning. So when I got home and saw my partner I looked her straight in the eye and said 'oh god, I got bit by a spider last night when I was walking to the shops!'. I felt so incredibly guilty and horrible for it. But she somehow believed me. We broke up shortly afterwards because I couldn't stand the fact I was cheating on her, and because we were all kinds of wrong for each other. But that is another story. So reddit.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [28 F] with my boyfriend [32 M] of 6 months, we hardly ever have sex and it's killing my self-esteem. Need some perspective. POST: I'm in a fairly new relationship with a great man. He's not perfect but neither am I and for the most part I think that things are going very well. We laugh a lot together and I definitely miss him when we're apart. In a short time he's become an important part of my life that I don't want to lose. All that being said... the last 2 months or so we have only had sex probably 4 or 5 times. I know that for a lot of people who have been together a long time that wouldn't be unusual but for a relatively young couple who have only been together 6 months I feel like we should be doing it much more often. I am always the one who initiates and he often will huff and act like it's a chore but give in to make me happy. Last night it had been 2 weeks and we were finally about to be intimate again but he wasn't able to stay aroused. I was mortified but tried not to make a big deal about it because I didn't want him to be embarrassed either. At this point I'm really starting to think that he's just not sexually attracted to me. He's a British expat (I live in Texas) and doesn't know many people here so I'm thinking more and more that he's with me just so that he's not alone on the weekend and that he may not have sexual or romantic feelings about me at all. I can feel myself becoming more self conscious and withdrawing from him but I don't know how to stop it. If I try to speak to him about it he just rolls his eyes and tells me that I'm over analyzing everything. I know enough about men to logically understand that this may not be about me at all but might be about stress or something else that he's dealing with on his own but I can't help that every time he rejects me it feels like a slap in the face. A sexless relationship isn't something that I'm willing to consider long term so I want to nip this in the bud before that's what we're left with. Any advice is appreciated. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Boyfriend rarely wants to have sex and I take it personally every time he rejects me. Now I'm wondering if he's attracted to me at all.

Yoga and sexy boots - all in the same day :) POST: I've been wanting to post one of these for so long since it's been a while since I could say I've had a significant SV. Yesterday I went to a yoga class for the first time in about 3 years and it was great. I felt strong and honestly I didn't feel like I looked that bad either. Not great, but not bad. I wasn't hating myself during the class so that's at least something. Then by the evening I felt like crap about myself again. The negative thinking started in and I was telling myself that going to yoga didn't really matter because it wasn't a very hard class and that there was really no point in my trying to look better because I was always going to be fat and ugly. In spite of all the bad things I was telling myself last night I decided to go to another yoga class again this morning. This time it was a hard class. I struggled through some of the more difficult poses but I still did it and while I certainly wasn't the best in the class, I wasn't struggling the most either. Then after the class, because I was feeling pretty good about myself, I decided to go shopping. While at the store I tried on a pair of knee high leather boots. AND THEY FIT! This may not sound like a big deal but in the past when I wanted to buy a pair of tall boots, I couldn't find any that were wide enough in the calf for me. Believe it or not, this was the first time since just after high school when I was skinny and underweight that I've been able to put on a pair of boots like that. Unfortunately I couldn't buy them because they were too expensive but who cares, the point is that my fat legs were not the reason I couldn't have them. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I ignored all the bad things I've been thinking about myself and worked out anyway and I guess my legs are not as fucking huge as I thought.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I (M21) need advice on how to get my girl(/woman)friend (F35) to understand that I don't hide things from her, I just communicate differently. POST: As the title says I'm 21yo male in a 9 month relationship with a 35yo female. She has been very upset recently with me recently (to the point of saying she no longer wants to be in a relationship) because I was on the phone with her and texting another person at the same time. Her rationale is not that I was talking to the person whilst texting her (even though I think that is a big issue to her) but that I should have told her that I was texting the person instead of finding out from the person the next day. She has always said that she hates hearing things about me from other people. I.e. when someone has told her something about me that I have told them that she did not know. I've always told her that I don't hide things from her: I'm just the kind of person who isn't very talkative and doesn't always volunteer information and tends to mention something if the topic comes up in a conversation,however if I am asked something I will readily and willingly answer. I have however tried to be more open with her. I don't want to lose her. How do I phrase a good apology for not informing her about something I knew she would have wanted to know but absentmindedly didn't mention? How do I explain my communication style in a manner that will get her to understand? p.s. I have schizoid personality disorder (SPD), I think that is a contributory factor to how I communicate.

When we first started talking she used to tell me about how shity this guy was with her, for example, he never took her out for dinner, never visited her, he prefered going out with his friends to drink, and almost never sends messages to her. The thing is that she tells me that she loves me and wants to be with me, but she doesn't break up with this guy... I made her confess to me that she still likes the guy a little, and that's hard for her to let him go. Then, that's not it... she got into this political party, in which young people like her go a participate with the candidate. Therefore, the coordinador from the party asked her to be his secretary, he's 25 years old. Since she got into it, she became different... she's cold and I been trying to let her go and become cold and when she sees that am about to leave her for sure, she start becoming sweet again... So there are two problems her boyfriend, and this new 25 year old guy that wants to get with her. One could think, dude what the fuck are you doing there? But she helps and is friend with my brother, who's got a mental disease that makes him process as a 10 year old at his 18 years old, in school. There hasn't been a girl good enough to actually help my bro out, because many lose their patience... She good with him and makes him happy... she's leaving her boyfriend, according to her,next week so we can be together, but I'm still thinking about it because of the other guy... I suppose she's way too confused about her feelings... but whatever it is I want it to be over... I don't know if she really loves me or I'm just a game... TL;DR: . Assistant:

And then he didn't want to deal with it anymore so they stopped talking. He dated another girl fort three months whom he ended up breaking up with.

Yesterday, my friend got offered a job in I-banking and will make 6 figures out of college. I want to know, why is it that most of you cannot realize that if you are good at what you do, or show yourself to be in the upper echelon of students, you can get a great job and be wildly successful. Did any of you ever stop to think about how if you stopped complaining, took some classes that teach useful analytical skills (calculus, finance, organic chemistry e.g.) and did well in them, and made friends with professors and people at employer conventions at your school, you would have a great chance of being successful and having everything you want? It seems like the self esteem generation is finally getting the message, "Most of you are losers out of your own fault, and losers have never been successful," and they are in denial for the most part. I do realize there are extenuating circumstances (no college, although national merit scholars are offered boatloads of money, especially if they are low SES), but for the most part college students all seem to be victims of their own mediocrity.

I have a friend that lives in another country to me and let's just say that we aren't exactly shy with each other. Now, with that said, we do have Skype sex (if that's what you call it). This guy *knows* how to get me off and how to finish me by telling me to do the right things. I knew that I could squirt before I met this person, but damn, I never knew how much. To be as blunt as possible, he told me what fingers to use that could get me to squirt more. So there I was, lying on my bed with my laptop in front of me whilst I was at it, and once I began squirting I seriously could not control the direction of it. At the time I didn't care. It was fucking good. It was afterwards that I noticed my fuck up. My laptop screen and whole keyboard was literally soaked. It looked like I spilt a cup of water over it. Instantly I knew it was broken. I cleaned it up so fast but keys began typing letters without being clicked and my screen was going crazy. When I did type, the wrong symbols would appear in relation to what keys I pressed. My friend told me to leave it to dry and it might work but found it hilarious overall. Next time I turned it on, a super loud beeping noise came out of my speakers during the start up screen. Still does this every so often as well. Week after, I did it again on my phone screen (you would have thought I learnt my lesson) and now my charging port/sometimes my volume is fucked. I'm still suffering to this day. Currently saving for a new computer because my laptop is a piece of shit and enjoys typing crap all the time. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: I was going to the bathroom and my shower has one of those vents that opens up to outside. In my apartment building, the vent leads to the back porch where I step out now and then for a smoke, and I have about an 8 inch wide by 5 inch tall window I can look out of and hear things pretty clearly. While going to the bathroom, I could overhear a scruffy voice, maybe a guy in his late 40's or so, talking to 2 younger kids about his time in jail. I was pretty much intrigued at this point, so I decided to start eavesdropping on the conversation. He explains to them what it's like in jail and talks about how they have to wear red jumpsuits and things like that. Conversation progresses and most of it is hard to hear, but I start picking up on things that weird me out. Like saying, "How would we split up the 40mil?" "You might lose your father, but I lost my mother so I can sympathize." Talking about "taking care of" something. Before they left, one of the younger people disappeared for a few seconds, there was silence, and then when he returned I could hear what sounded like guns cocking and taking out the clips and putting them back in, and the older guy said, "Careful with that." They left, and I sat in the bathroom just kind of shaken and unsure what I had just overheard. I just moved to this neighborhood and the people in my building are kind of strange and I'm not sure if I'm in the best location. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I can't imagine anything "innocent" about what they were discussing. TL;DR: . Assistant:
People talking outside on the porch about "taking care of" something, talks of dividing large amounts of money, talks of prison, and what sounded like guns cocking. Not sure what to do.

POST: I have had a certain routine after taking a shower for a couple of months, it will probably have to change... After I dry myself off and put my clothes on, I put the towel on my right shoulder. Then, I take a cotton swab and stick that into my left ear. Now, I go to the garage (it's inside of our house) to hang my towel (the towels always stay there until they are washed) and use it to dry my hair off on the way. When I'm done with that, I go upstairs and clean/dry my ears on the way up. Now to the FU. Yesterday, while drying my hair off on the way to the garage, I was in a hurry and apparently wasn't careful enough, because I hit the cotton swab either with the towel or with my hand and slammed it into my ear. You can maybe imagine the pain I had during that moment, I would say it was in the top 5 of pains that I have ever experienced. Obviously, I thought that I had just destroyed my eardrum and checked for blood. It seemed like there was none, so I was pretty relieved. I continued my way (with ear pain, of course), hoping, that nothing bad had happened and everything would be fine. During the evening, I noticed, that I was't able to hear very well on my left ear but still went to bed hopeful. Today, in school, I felt something in my ear, scratched it and found out it was dried blood. Also, the ear pain didn't disappear but instead was joined by a headache.

POST: So since mid-July my boyfriend and his dad have been doing the annual Ramadan, as my SO is half Muslim. He does it out of practice since his dad has made him do it since he hit puberty, and naturally it progressed into just being a thing he does every summer. Anyways, if you don't know what Ramadan is, look up some specifics on it but a brief description is that Muslims cannot eat from dawn to dusk for a month long period, as well as other rules such as no touching/intimacy with loved ones, ingesting water, taking medications, etc. Without food or drink, during the blazing hot summer, you'd think someone would get a little moody. Truth. My boyfriend's dad is going nuts. He normally is every other 11 months of the year, but currently, it's some sort of ongoing insecurities with my boyfriend also stepping up in his adulthood by getting his licence, a career and paying bills, all in sequence. I don't know if that has something to do with it but I believe it does, as he is the eldest (by over 10 years) and his dad has some cultural expectations for him, as well as threats of throwing him out of the house, not doing enough for his mom, and so forth. To say in the least, it's very hard to witness and hear about. So I'm writing this asking any other Redditors if you have every had a SO with a personal choice or a parents' influence to do Ramadan, and how you (as a non-participator) felt/dealt with it? Also, how can I stop feeling distaste towards his dad, as I see this packing on more and more emotional weight on my SO? TL;DR: . Assistant:

(this is a long one by the way) There is a girl who I like very much and still have deep feelings for. We had been dating for a year and four days when we broke up/went on a break as I needed to figure somethings out with myself and needed to take a breather from the relationship. We remained close friends (Still are to best of my knowledge)and on three seperate occasions had sex while not technically being together. Fast forward to the current time, I have recently (A week ago) told this girl that I am ready to be in a relationship with her again and still care very deeply for her. Her reply was that "I am currently in a relationship"and then soon added but he leaves for Hong Kong in two weeks for 9 months. I then enquired if it was possible that we could be together at somepoint in the future.She replied that"Anything is possible and you never know what the future holds" Now that being said I still love her very much and am currently waiting for the guy she is seeing to leave the country.I feel that after this happens I will be in a better situation as her friend to win her back. Now a little about this girl,she can't really deal with seperation and as Hong Kong has a 12 hour time difference and her re-bound is going to be busy with work and developing a social network out there and well won't have that much time for her as a whole. I am hoping that due to this she won't be able to handle being in a relationship with this guy and perhaps comes back to me. I know it is a lot to hope for but at the moment I am biding my time awaiting for this guy to leave. Well Reddit I ask you what would you do in my situation,would you wait as you said you would and waitfor the re-bound guy to leave, before talking to her again and take it as friends (Like I am currently doing) or would you do something else. Thanks. TL;DR: . Assistant:

At first we didn't have much to talk about but then it came up that she had lost her dad. I almost started crying for a second because I was shocked. I lost my dad too. It turns out our experiences were similar, both lost our dads suddenly and a year apart in age. Both about 6 years ago. We talked about all the similarities and all that. How it impacted our siblings, and our moms too. The ways we dealt with it. It was nice to talk to someone with a similar experience.

POST: I've been with my older boyfriend for 9 months and everything is going great - he's kind, trustworthy, considerate, we get on with each other's parents and friends. Best relationship I've ever had. We haven't argued once and there's never any drama. Only thing bugging me is he hasn't said 'I love you' yet. I really need to hear it. Is that silly/too soon/expecting too much/normal?? I know that I love him, but I don't want to say it first. There are a few reasons, mainly that I want to know he means it and isn't just saying it back. (I made the first move and we joke about this - but in all seriousness I wish it was the other way around and want him to make *this* move first!) Another reason it concerns me is that he has said those words to other people a lot sooner than 9 months. He was married for over 10 years and has a child with his ex. After their marriage ended but before we met, he had a very short but intense relationship with another woman. They only dated a few months but I have seen correspondence between them stating they love each other. Our relationship seems so perfect so why hasn't he said it to me when he did to her? :( TL;DR: .

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: I need your help Reddit. I'm getting screwed by American Family Insurance. POST: I need your help Reddit. I was recently in a car accident where the other driver was at fault. They turned through a stopped lane of traffic turning into a parking lot and hit me in the second lane. Their insurance agency accepted fault for the accident. They arranged for me to get a rental car and are paying for the auto body repair at the shop my dealer recommended. Now here is where I ran into a problem. I have limited liability insurance on my car because I worked like a boss and saved my money up and paid for it out right so I would not go into debt. I took the risk of not covering the cost of damage to my car for when I am at fault because I have a clean record of driving and am willing to replace my car with a Junker if I wreck it. The amount I have saved not covering my car is enough to buy a replacement car. Anyways, when I picked up the rental car that the at fault insurance company (American Family) paid for, I had to sign for the coverage that the rental company (Enterprise) offers, and is $13 a day, since I do not have full coverage. Makes since. I contacted the at fault insurance company (American Family) and explained this to them and explained that this expense is a result of the accident that their client caused and that they should take responsibility. They flat out said they understand why they should pay for it but they do not have to. My car will not be out of the shop for another 2 weeks and I will end up getting stuck with a $300 and something bill for the insurance. I am a student and just paid for classes and have to pick up books this week and can not afford this. Please tell me if I have any options. The logic of how they can get away with out paying for this escapes me. By the way, my insurance company pays for rental insurance when their client is at fault. TL;DR: . Assistant:
American Family Insurance is screwing me with a $300 bill for rental insurance that was needed due to their client hitting my car.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [16 m] and my girlfriend [16 f] have been having issues.. Then she does this.. I need help. POST: First of all, I'm fairly new to this subreddit so I apologize if this post doesn't look like a normal one. Also, I know some might think say that I shouldn't be in a serious relationship at 16, but hear me out. So me and my girlfriend have been dating for 10 months, and completely love eachother. But, lately we have been fighting ALOT. I think jealousy is a major cause in our problems. We fight over stupid little things, and way too often. Last week, we discussed our issues and both came to the conclusion that we weren't happy, and should possibly take a break. Ok, thats fine. Next, is where I need help. Before we dated, she had been dating a guy for awhile and she claims that she had in fact been in love with him. Fast forward back to now, he just became single again, and they (my SO and him) have began talking again. They had never really talked while he had a girlfriend (No, I know she was not secretly talking to him). She tells me that she (very recently) had talked to him about our relationship problems, and basically getting comfort from him, but she still claims that she has no feelings for him, past being a friend. He knows that I absolutely hate him, yet he told my gf "I dont want to interfere with your relationship with OP". She even told him that I need to get over the fact that they (Ex and my girlfriend) are friends. I really dont know what to do. I love this girl like no other, but I really dont think I could handle the jealousy of them being friends. Sorry for this being so long. TL;DR: . Assistant:
OP goes on a "break" with SO. SO begins talking to an ex of hers. OP can't handle SO being friends with said ex.

How to tell them I want to stay here? POST: I've lived in New York my entire life, and I love it here. I live in a big city north of NYC and I love everything about it. I have good friends and a boyfriend I adore. My parents have recently decided to put our house up for sale and move over to Arizona, which I feel would be a drastic change for me, and every time they have talked to me about it, they say they "need" me in Arizona with them, and that I'm going to love it there. I really don't want to move there. I have tried to have an open mind about it, but every possible outcome the cons outweigh the pros. It had been very difficult for me to make and keep friends, having a very tough high school experience and I've finally made some lasting bonds and to up and move would be the worst, especially with them all going to college. Plus I have my boyfriend, who I have an amazing connection with, he's even said I can move in with him (which I don't think I'd want to do because he lives in NJ and my parents would disapprove). I just graduated high school and am currently working this year part time, and planned to go to a local college next fall. My older siblings both live in NY and I have a strong connection with my sister, I couldn't bare being so far away from her. How can I make it work so that I don't have to move with them? Thing is, I don't know if I could afford my own place here (It's pretty expensive) and I'm not sure if I could live with my sister. Any advice on how to talk to them about it? My dad is very stern and insists he knows best for me, when he really has no clue/doesn't pay attention to my life. I'm scared of saying no to him and how he'll react. And while I'm technically an adult being 18, if I got cut off from them I'd have a very hard time getting by financially. TL;DR: . Assistant:

[Both 17] POST: So today my girlfriend of 8 months and I had a talk about something minor, but our conversation kept getting deeper. As we dove deeper into how we truly felt about things, she ended up admitting that she doesn't like that I dont get mad at her. Let me explain: I do not get mad, ever. I've never yelled at her. I don't know why, and nothing she does really annoys me. I just cannot get mad at her. I prefer to talk about any relationship issues in a civil and calm manor with her. She said that she doesn't like feeling like she is the only one who gets mad about things, and she wants us both to be equally mad. But I cannot get mad! She even suggested an exercise, where she wanted me to find something she did that annoyed me and yell and curse at her to convey my anger. I couldn't even think of anything that she did to annoy me, let alone yell and curse at her. So, r/relationships, please help me. This literally goes against everything I thought I knew about women (seriously, I thought they wanted a guy who doesnt get mad ever). Help! TL;DR: . Assistant:
Girlfriend doesnt like that I dont get mad. She wants me to yell at her when we get in arguments, but I am naturally passive. What do I do?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [33 M] with my wife[34M/F], hit her too hard and broke her floating rib, what can I do to make up for it POST: Background: I met my wife when we were 6 years old at her family's kwoon. Our grandparents thought it would be good for us to train together as our styles were complementary. We started dating Summer 1997, when we were 14/15, married in 2007. We have 2 kids together. Every morning we train together and 3 times a week we have a regular spar. Incident: My wife pressured me into a corner, with sun in my eyes and the door on my back. I thought that I can use a half-step punch to get away. It was something she could have dodged easily-I was expecting that she would dodge and get a hit in but it was better than my previous position which the lunging part would save me from-. Unfortunately our son called for her at the moment of strike and she was distracted, moved to the door and got hit. I tried mitigating it but you don't simply mitigate that. As a result she got a glancing blow near her left abdomen and crumbled. Aftermath: Took her to hospital, got her treated. She says that these things happen and that she's just embarrassed about getting hit by a telegraph punch but I feel horrible about it. More so because it feels like a cheap blow. I can also feel that her self-esteem got a huge blow as she's prone to think that she's "immune" to certain level of strikes-quite rightly so-. She says she's okay but I can tell she's actually sad and disappointed with herself. Question: What can I do to make her feel better? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Hit my wife accidently too hard, broke her floating rib, she says it's okay but I want to do something for her and cheer her up.

Our particular store is so small that we have three full-time managers and three part-time cashiers. Company policy dictates that instead of giving your employees overtime, you call a store in the county to see if they have an employee who can fill in.

I also have to have several days off soon because I'm having my wisdom teeth removed, so I don't want to look like I'm taking off too much time. I don't want to look bad to my store manager.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I [17 F] have a boyfriend [18 M] of 8 months. I feel like he doesn't really love me. POST: These 8 months have been such a rollercoaster ride, sometimes, I can't wrap my head around things. There have been really great times, and this is the realest relationship I've had in years. (My last 3 ex's cheated on me.) However, our bad times always come out just as intense. We hurt each other emotionally a lot, and it takes long for the wound to heal. Most days, he's always so indifferent. I feel like he doesn't really care about me as a person, and he's mostly just in it for some emotional support, and to have someone to talk to, or someone to depend on when things go to shit. He might even just be in it for the sexual/intimate benefits a relationship brings. I don't think he's actually in love with ME. Everytime I bring it up, he gets emotional, downright refuses to talk about the problem, and accuses me of not being happy with him and him not being good enough for me. It drives me nuts. I'm the type of person to want to talk things out straight away and resolve it so we can move on rather than let it sit. Another thing is, he doesn't seem to appreciate the sacrifices I've made or the effort I exert at all! He tells me I should care about him more, and I do. I feel I've done enough by staying up super late to talk and play with him despite having classes the next morning at 7 A.M., then I cut down my study time to be with him, and I spend less time in college with my friends to come back home and spend time with him. And he has the nerve to tell me I don't show I care. Sometimes, I get tired of always being the one to be sweet and to initiate. I wish he would just do it too sometimes. How do I deal with this? How do I bring it up to him? TL;DR: . Assistant:
my boyfriend of 8 months is often indifferent towards me and never initiates or does anything sweet, I feel he doesnt really love me as a person and only keeps me around for emotional security.

I'm using a throwaway because my bf is a fellow redditor.   A bit of background : I'm a 22 year old girl from Greece , I sat the national exams, managed to get myself in a CS Univeristy, which I unfortunately ended up abandoning after 1 year, since I had some personal issues. After a one year break , I decided that I had to do something in my life , and I ended up in a private CS (Computer Science ) college.   My boyfriend , followed the same process as me , but he got in a national Technical School ( maybe that's the wrong term ,but here we have : universities > technical schools , as we call them , or as I roughly translate at least :P ). He is now on his 10th year and he has to pass 1 lesson to get his degree. He is interested in computers , which has nothing to do with what he used to study.     **The problem** : Well the obvious problem is that he thinks I'm getting a degree no matter what , because my father's paying a bunch of money. The other problem is that he thinks I'm stupid he explains the most basic stuff like he would explain it to a 4 year old.     For example: "You cannot do [insert paragraph here] with this command, the database doesn't allow it" . And I'm like "yeah , I know, that's pretty basic stuff". I'm seriously thinking of not inviting him to my graduation ceremony, because what's really the point? How should I handle this situation?

POST: First ever post, meep. Sorry if this may seem more relevant to /r/piercings but the affect on the relationships with my parents concerns me more than the piercing itself! I've wanted piercings since I was 16 and as my parents wished, I waited until I'd finished high school, university and my masters degree before I got any. I'm now doing a PhD, and in the past year I got a number of piercings on my ears. Last week I got my nose pierced. I'm seeing my parents tonight. My mum has always been overbearing and she gets obsessive over things that really don't matter. We don't have the best of relationships at all anyway but she sees piercings as a hindrance to my job prospects, yet I'm in a field at the moment that doesn't care and I'm happy to remove them if needs be. Basically she doesn't like them, so she feels I'm not allowed to either. I'm going to be bridesmaid at my cousin's wedding in a month and I intend to take it out for the day. My cousin is happy for me to have piercings, multicoloured hair, whatever! But I know my mum and my auntie (cousin's mum) will want it removed for the day so that's what I'm going to do out of respect for them. I told my dad I was thinking of getting my nose pierced a few weeks ago and he said "I'm not going to lie, I don't like them, but it's your face, whatever." I'm just terrified right now of what my mum is going to say and would appreciate some rationale if possible. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/dogs TITLE: Puppy Attention and Human Guilt, What to do? POST: Hi All! My wife and I need some help sorting out a balance between lifestyle and puppy. We have a Beagle (Needle) that is a few months shy of a year old. We got her at 2 months so we've had her a decent chunk of time. So far she's been about as good as we can ask for: she doesn't chew on non-toys (except the remote controls, yes plural now. Dunno why she loves those), she has been 100% house trained since about 4 months, and she never barks or howls. The only semi-issue behavior wise (and I've posted here before about this) is that she gets nippy sometimes still. Anyway, here is the issue: My wife and I both work 9-5. We come home for an hour around 12:30 to take Needle out and give her a bit of a walk. We both knew that Needle would have to be alone 8ish hours a day, but we let her roam the kitchen and give her different types of toys to keep her busy while we're gone. Whenever there is something that we could do afterwork (go to the theatre, go to the gym, hang out with friends at the coffee shop, etc...), we typically decide that it's our responsibility to stay home and give Needle attention and exercise since she's already home alone for 8 hours a day. So my question for all of you is, is there any reasonable way or amount of time that it would be not cruel to leave Needle alone for 2 hours on some Tuesday and Thursday evenings, or some other solution that some of you might have used? We've considered getting her a dog-buddy, but she doesn't do very well with other dogs (also posted here before). Is there an age when it might be more okay to start leaving her on her own more? TL;DR: . Assistant:
My wife and I would like to go out sometimes on weeknights without feeling guilty about leaving Needle alone for even more time during the day. Is there a reasonable way to do that?

Of course I've seen my friends, but 90% of those 2 years were her, which at the time I didn't mind. Also I didn't make new friends in college so those friends I just said I see are high school friends. Now I got a job back in June, so of course there's new people to talk to and such else. I don't know if this helps my question but most of co-workers are women, MOST not all. So ever since this job I've been wanting to be with her less and on a daily basis she would annoy me, the simple things she does. I don't know if this is just a dumb phase or what.

POST: Hello, I think it's important to point out that I'm not your typical "senior year high school" guy. I tend to, maybe not stand out, but I'm defnitely different from the others. My town is pretty small, and most people listen to rap, while I'm one of the few who listens to heavier stuff like metal, however I also like Eminem! The point is, I don't really have that many friends, tho the ones I have are great. I'm also pretty shy, which surprises many people because I usually wear full black, with heavy boots and sometimes chains hanging out of my belt. I have this best friend, she's like a little sister to me, and I'm like a brother to her. We know each other for almost 4 years now. I'm pretty sure she had a crush on me, while I had on her, but on different "stages" per say. Many people would often confuse us as a couple, because we acted like one, without kissing, having an intercourse and so on, that's not to say we hadn't had a sleepover. We do a lot of things together, sometimes even catch ourselves finishing each others senteces, or say the same thing at the same time. Her parents like me so much they lent me a key to their house so I could surprise her with her best(girl)friend on her birthday. Now, my crush has started after 2 years of our friendship, then it kind of disappeared, but started to take effect about a month-two ago. Yet I'm not sure if I should talk to her about it, since her crush "time" I believe has long since ended. She didn't talk to me about hers, and I don't think I have the guts to talk about mine. It's a weird situation for me, as I've never really had to deal with those things, because..well, I'm only 19. I'd really appreciate any suggestions, if I should lay everything on the table, if I should forget about it and keep what's at the moment..I'm in a pinch! TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: Alright, so my mom decided to join a business dealing in the distribution of different vitamins that are supposed to "enhance" your lifestyle, but quite frankly, these "special" vitamins aren't any different than the ones you can get at your local pharmacy. So naturally, I wanted to see the reputation of the company she now became involved with. Just searching the name of the company showed many great comments and reviews and how it was life changing for many people, however if you added "pyramid scheme" at the end, countless stories, videos, etc. appeared, even more so than the initial search. So quite blatantly, it was a pyramid scheme. I haven't told her what I thought about it but she's been going on and on about how "this will give us more income!" And "this is for your future!" But quite frankly I'm extremely worried that the money she's giving to this "amazing and worth while" business will out weigh the amount of money she earns from raking other people in this scheme. Worst of all, she wants me and my siblings (who I don't think know about the nature of the company) involved as well. Things like, creating advertisements, and telling our friends, practically just getting the word out to anyone who would listen about the amazing product she's selling and how you could also sell it yourself. So basically I have no idea what to do, she's clearly blinded by all the "great" rewards she thinks she'll be getting, but in the end she'll probably gain nothing out of this. TL;DR: . Assistant:

We have our issues, but overall our relationship makes us both very happy. The problem is that I have insecurity issues stemming back to my childhood that I have continuously tried to work on. It is hard for me to get close to people so I make everyone disposable. I've been lied to by people and taken advantage of in my past so I am paranoid and can be really cynical and skeptic. I have acute anxiety and it acts up at times and makes me paranoid and I have compulsive thoughts about him lying or being unfaithful. My current SO does not give me reasons to doubt him and he never has but I am having trouble giving him my complete and total trust. I get paranoid and although I do give him his space and do not text him 24 7 or question him at all times there are moments when it gets the best of me and I start feeling paranoid and extremely insecure. I love him to pieces and I want this to work. We're both in a place where moving in together is right and we both feel so ready for it (I have been living with him as a transition for the past few weeks and everything is going great.) The only problem is those moments of lack of trust and I know it is not fair to him that I sometimes doubt his love for me.

Do you guys have any similar experiences or words of advice for me?

He speaks to me (albeit groggily, but still), but then *goes back to sleep*. He says he'll text me to prove he's awake, but he never ever does. I always text him first and I've suggested he go to the doctor about it, but the office has weird hours and you can only call on certain days? He's often not up in time for that. Additionally, he has been applying for summer jobs but doesn't give himself much of a window because of his extensive sleeping. Part of me feels I should just give up calling, because he might need to just want to change badly enough. The other part feels like I can't give up on him. I don't want to let him down. However, I am tired of feeling like a human alarm clock. Maybe this isn't the right sub for this, but under this whole sleeping issue, we are very very good friends. I don't want to become so frustrated that this ruins our relationship. I want to help him, but I just do not know how. (Saying "stop being friends, he's not doing *you* any favors" isn't exactly an option.) TL;DR: . Assistant:
Friend wants to change sleep habits. I'm trying to assist but nothing seems to be working. Afraid relationship will deteriorate.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I [30F] have only been dating my boyfriend [26M] for 2 months, but I think he's only on a rebound POST: My boyfriend and I have only been dating for two months so I'm not sure if it's too soon to assume that he doesn't love me. Hence, this post. I met him through the spearfishing community. He's from another place so I barely know him and we don't really have common friends. A week ago I found out, through a little research, a little stalking and a lot of questioning that he broke up with his ex March 2014 and they continued going out until July 2014. He got into drug abuse and excessive drinking when he found out the girl started dating someone else in July. I met him in October and I fell in love with him right away. We started dating in December and everything has been going really amazing until I accidentally clicked the year 2013 on his facebook timeline. I suddenly felt a need to read his posts from the past. He was so in love and sweet. He regularly posted about his ex and was so romantic. They were only together for 10 months and I saw that he started posting on their first month. Here's where the problem is - he doesn't post about me at all. He did during Christmas and New Year but other than that, he doesn't seem to show his affection publicly. I know some people think best to keep affection in private but I'm starting to think that he doesn't love me like he loved his ex. I talked to him about it but he couldn't give me an answer. He kept saying he will but he hasn't still. An hour ago I started getting upset. I asked him what his ex had that I didn't have. He wouldn't answer. He quit the chat. BTW, we are on a long distance relationship and so were he and his ex. He works at an offshore oil rig and he stays there for 28 days each time. Help me please, I'm confused. I don't want to settle for less love than what he can give but I love him. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I think my boyfriend still loves his ex. He can't love me the way he loves her and I'm not sure if I should continue the relationship or not.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: [22m] dating [19f] not sure if I should be feeling more than I am? POST: We're dating.. not calling it BF or GF.. although that's what it basically is after about two months now. Sometimes I'm really into her and other times I'm less. She is the first girl I've actually "dated" (in that we see/talk to each other almost daily / are exclusive) and she REALLY likes me. I just feel like I should be feeling more affection than I do? Is this something that will occur later on as we see each other more? I never expected this to be a super serious relationship with marriage potential or anything in the first place, but I feel like I should be feeling more affection towards her than I am. Another issue is that this girl is a real sweetheart and is super nice happy person. Her family already knows about me and all of her friends etc. If I were to end this in the coming weeks or months I would feel like it would really hurt her -- which is not something I want. *IF* I decide it should end is there a way to break it off in a non depressing way and maintain her as a good friend?

I proposed to her a little over a year ago and in the period between our engagement and now, she has had extended periods of depression and gained I would estimate more than 25kg. That is to say that in the 4 years we've been together, she has gone from athletic to heavily built to what would now be clinical obesity. We are supposed to be married in less than 6 months. How do I communicate that her weight gain and extended depressive episodes are affecting everything from my attraction to her to my confidence in her ability to be a reliable mother and life partner?

POST: Hi Reddit, I'll start by saying both me and my gf have been together about a year and are in our early 20's, both still living at home with our parents. This past weekend my girlfriend and I were hanging out and she was in the middle of an unrelated argument with her dad via text message. He was also unhappy with how much she had been away from home and driving over to my house to hangout rather than me going to her house. He texted her saying "OP should man up, grow some balls, and drive". I wasn't supposed to see the text message but she was reading other messages off to me and they were on the screen. I asked GF if she felt like I didn't drive enough, and I never minded driving to come see her, she said she had no issue with anything. She usually wants to get out of her house, and my house is usually quiet and we have privacy. Whenever I ask her my house or yours she usually wants to come here. I have never had an issue with her dad before this incident but I feel like his words were quite harsh, and told my girlfriend I no longer felt welcome in her parents house, but I would drive and pick her up/drop her off. She told me she understood but hoped with time I would re-evaluate. I told her I know it puts her in a shitty situation and I don't want to strain her relationship with her dad but I felt disrespected and don't want to be around him anymore. I understand that I was never supposed to see that message but saying that behind someone's back is rude. Have I been over sensitive about the whole situation? I'll have to see him again eventually, how do I handle that situation? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [19 F] with my boyfriend [21 M] wants to wait for marriage now after a year and a half of being sexually active POST: My boyfriend of a year and a half and I went on a beach holiday a couple of days ago where he told me he would like to stop all sexual activity. We have a good relationship and a seemingly good sex life, he wasn't a virgin when we started dating and i'm finding all this hard to understand even though we've had a long conversation about it. He has a fairly high sex drive so i'm sure its not that he's disinterested. He claimed that it was because of a couple of things that he wanted to do this. Firstly because he was raised in a fairly religious household where they constantly preached marriage before sex and that he felt guilty for breaking that and was now trying to make up for it. He said mostly though it was because he felt like he needed to respect me and the relationship more by not being so focused on sex. I respect his decision in all of this and am willing to wait if thats what he really needs. I've also never seen him as happy as he was after he made this decision, he said he felt like a weight had been lifted off him and that he could finally love me properly. I don't want to take this away from him but i'm scared for what this means in our relationship. Its one thing for a relationship to progress knowing you both want to wait for marriage, but another thing to go backwards from that kind of physical relationship. I was happy in our relationship and how it was but i now feel restricted, like there are now boundaries that i can't cross and i now can't be fully relaxed and me. I don't want to have to repress my sexual desires and needs but it sounds selfish to say so. I'm really not sure how to go about this because i love him and i won't leave him over this. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Boyfriend wants to cut all sexual activity and wait for marriage, I feel uneasy about this decision, How will this impact our relationship? How should i handle this situation?

My stomach started to hurt a little but I said what the fuck and went for the nice greasy pizza when it came out. So about five minutes after I finish my pizza I get the brilliant idea to go down on my fiance. She gets in front of me and pulls down her pants and I start to please her. I stop for a second because I think I have to burp. NOPE. It wasn't a burp it was vomit. I threw up the pizza and energy drink I just had into her pants and it ran down her legs.

We've been dating for 6 months or so. Other than the occasional small argument we may have (nothing major), things have been good. She's probably one of the smartest girls I have ever dated. Our personalities are pretty similar and we get along well. I would say she is somewhat "sheltered" when it comes to sex, it seems. She isn't into wearing lingerie or anything, and when we first started dating she told me she had never seen porn. For Christmas I had playfully suggested my present should be her in sexy-times clothes. Yeah, don't think so. On top of this, it became incredibly obvious after a few months of dating that a BJ was never going to happen. I mean, not only has she never made a move, but after bringing it up I was immediately told it made her feel "uncomfortable". So, here I am, on steak and BJ day... and I really want a BJ. This is actually the first girl I've ever dated that has not gone down on me, and ironically, it's the one whos company I enjoy the most. I should also point out I have no problem with going down on a girl, and I have even done it to her once, but I obviously am not going to continue go down on a girl that doesn't return the favor. I guess I have 2 questions: 1. Am I being ridiculous for ultimately thinking this isn't going to work in our current state; 2. Has anyone ever even worked themselves out of a situation like this? I mean, even if she did give me a BJ, I can't imagine it is going to go well, or that it would happen often (at all?). TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: quick background: Buying a house, going conventional with 3% down to avoid lifetime PMI on an FHA loan. Pretty far into the process and the broker runs some numbers (he said they were on the high end) where the contract rate was 4%, the APR comes out to 4.8% and that seems like a pretty big jump from contract rate to APR, almost a whole percent. Talked to the broker on the phone and said it seemed like a pretty big jump and he thought i was looking for hidden fees or something, I really wasn't. Although he suggested that it may be higher because I was only putting 3% down. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Is there a general rule of thumb of how much higher the APR should be over the contract rate? I feel like 4.8% on a 4% contract rate is high for 3% down on a conventional mortgage.

POST: We all met in college. They've been dating since then and we're all part of the same tight knit group of friends. Recently they broke up, and my friend Julia has been very hush hush about what happened. I've been trying to reach out for weeks, see if she needs a shoulder to lean on, girls night out, etc. She has been dodging my texts, and until very recently, I had no idea why. One of our mutual friends (closer to Cam, the ex bf) told me Julia broke up with Cam because he apparently has a thing for me? This is news to me. Cam has always been fairly quiet, levelheaded, etc. So for him to all of a sudden come out with news that he has feelings for his girlfriend's close friend, is a little ridiculous and unbelievable. Apparently he said my name during sex ... and then Julia (rightfully) grilled him on it until he broke down and confessed. Never once has he made it seem like he's into me. In any case I'm worried Julia might think something happened between Cam and I. The thing is, I had a crush on him in college (before they got together) which she knew about. So maybe in her mind, she thinks I'm responsible for this? I don't know. Her friendship is important to me. I get that she needs space and might even resent me without meaning to, but ignoring me isn't going to fix anything either. It's been almost a month. TL;DR: . Assistant:

So I met this girl in my class, let's just call her Rachel. Rachel was a really interesting person to talk to, and I realized that I had almost all my classes with her. So we talked almost all day, she gave me her number, then school was over, and everyone went home. At home I was texting her, we were conversing, and I started to think about how attractive Rachel was. Then while I was on the bus to school I decided in my head that I was going to ask Rachel out. I planned it out in a way, and was pretty nervous. So when we arrive at school I go to class and I see her in class and we talked and hung out etc. Then as we left the class, I was going to just grow some balls, man up, and ask her out. So I said "Rachel," as she was talking to one of her friends. She turned around, and I felt a sneeze coming on. I instantly knew that this was going to be *bad.* When she turned around with her mouth still open from laughing, I unleashed. I sneezed one of the biggest and most snot filled sneezes you've ever seen. And I sneezed *directly* on her face and in her mouth. TL;DR: . Assistant:

About a month ago, i expressed interest in a girl, who for a few days, expressed some what mixed feelings back to me. in the end, she friend-zoned me; and i have grown to be really close friends with her. up until recently, i have been making small advances on her. nothing that fully stepped out of the friend zone, but close enough to the line that i was hoping it would've made her think. within the past few days, i cam to two realizations. 1) small advances were getting me no where and 2) if i tried to be more forward, i would complicate and possibly diminish a friendship that means a lot to me. so i have decided, that in lieu of pushing a relationship and possibly losing a great friend, i will listen to some solid advice "do unto others as you would have had done unto yourself" I have started to put her in the friend zone, which is completely fine by me if all we are is friends, but how will she feel about this change in our friendship? will it cause her to rethink her initial choice of putting me here, or will we be no more then friends forever.

We graduate in May, and he is moving 8 hours back home after graduation. I told him that I am developing feelings for him, and he said that he liked me too.

Story below POST: Dear reddit, I really need to get this out of my chest. Well, in high school I (today 19m) started to see my bestfriend (today 19f) differently, and discovered she was actually a wonderful girl, so we fell in love with each other, dated and had a perfect relationship of 2 years. At the end of high school, I decided that I was going to undergraduate in a course that doesnt exist in my city, so I had to move and we decided to keep togheter and start a long distance relationship. I used to visit her twice a month, she couldnt visit me because she studies in a very hard university and has classes even on saturday. After 6 months in a long distance relationship, we started to notice that there was too much suffering, and I started to have financial problems and couldn't afford the tickets to go see her. We decided to break up and be just friends, I know its very hard, but not impossible. She is a wonderful girl, very supportive and gives the best advices Ive ever heard! I cant let her disappear of my life. The problem is, after 2 weeks we broke up, she doesn't respond my texts, she said she likes me very much and dont think will fall in love with anyone as she fell wjth me, and I dont see how we can maintain a friendship with her attitude(not responding texts). I am still in love with her! Other thing is that I am not really liking my course, and really want to do other course back in my town, but that only will be possible in the begining of 2015. So, people of reddit, do you think we can stay friends? Do you think we can get back togheter if I go back to my town? Do have any advice or coments to do? Thanks in advance!! :) TL;DR: . Assistant:

For as long as I could remember I have had trouble relating to people, so it has been hard to find many intimate relationships. Sometimes I think I'm too boring, or neurotic. That's besides the point. I got to know this girl in highschool, never able to date her until after highschool though. We dated for a year, even started staying together during college in our own place (too soon), it became clear she was verbally abusive and at the end physical. It hurt me so much to end like we did though, she seemed like my missing puzzle piece. So she did some awful stuff, said some bad things about my mom (that she heard), and started dating my friend. She left him soon after we met up for lunch, and for a few months we were steady. It ended rough, not nearly as rough as the first go, and she began dating this guy at her work. They dated awhile until he dropped her, and she rebounded on his friend for a few months (even she will say this was a questionable decision). Meanwhile I started dating someone else, moved in with them too quick and we recently separated. I pay the price of having her as a roommate now, something we both wish were a little different. Well what do you know I have lunch with this old flame again, and now we text. She said she's seeking professional help regarding what happened between us, she seems so genuine. She makes me worry about how often I text her, I get butterflies when I know we are hanging out, I get excited. I feel so melodramatic asking myself if I will ever feel like this about someone else. When do I know to try again or keep looking for something new? I've always felt like we have had a bond. Is this just what people experience when they don't date much people? I have dated 3 people seriously. She's the only person I've thought about consistently since I was 16, she enters my mind from time to time. It just seems like we keep making the same mistakes until they bring us back to each other. TL;DR: . Assistant:

I compromised; don't put up my hand as much, and don't show him my marks. He admitted to being childish and would work on it. We had the biggest argument last night, completely out of the blue. He kept on accusing me of being rude to make him angry, or being arrogant and bossy. I said "I'm sorry, I didn't intend for you to feel that way." then explained to him my thought process during those moments. A lot of the stuff that made him angry was just him over-thinking and imagination. I understand that couples fight all the time, and its important for a relationship sometimes. But for arguing about petty things, name calling (bossy), accusations, having to be right, and be in control.... I'm just fed up with it. How he deals with these arguements, he never tries to come up with a solution with me. He just points fingers and vents. Yesterday was the last straw. He said that I am the type person he hates the most when we are at school. I'm not going to tolerate being treated like this. After arguing for hours, I told him that I need space to think about the relationship. We haven't spoken in a day..... I really loved him. I still do. But he hurts me.... and I love myself too. Can anyone tell me their break up stories to make me feel not so alone? TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: I've been seeing this girl for a little over a month now, things have been going great! We have been texting frequently and seeing each other multiple times a week. We are both extremely busy and dedicated to our school work, which I like, but she also competitively figure skates. So here's the problem, this week on top of tests/assignments/practice etc she also has a big competition that she has said she hasn't had a lot of time to prepare for. I have no figure skating experience, so I can't really feel her pain and I feel like I can't really give her legitimate support. Even worse, her schedule is completely blocked up this week so she can only text. It would be ok if I could see her to tell her it'll be ok, but I really don't know what I can really say texting trying to make her feel comfortable. Also, since we started talking, messaging has been pretty consistent. But in the days leading up to the competition, she's been kind of short and dispersed with her communication. I've been giving her space and not texting because I know she's busy, and she's been starting conversations at night. Even though I know she's unbelievably busy, I can't help but feel she is being a little distant. --- So tonight is her big night. What the hell can I text her if she tells me she totally bombed her routine? Also, do you think the distance could be because she's possibly losing interest? Or am I just paranoid haha. We have a date Monday after she's done everything, I plan on casually asking her about why she was being a little distant when we go out. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Girl I've been seeing has a competition coming up on top of her super busy schedule. She's been a little distant and I don't really know how to comfort her.

I've slowly been getting to know all of his friends and the other night I finally met this one girl he'd been friends with since they were both ten. In the past boyfriend has told me that he had a big crush on her and while he was on leave from the military they went on a date and kissed but she decided she didn't want to ruin the friendship so it never advanced. I secretly think he still has a little puppy dog crush on her but that's a different story. Anyway, we went to her house for a game night and she was very...ditzy. Like those girls in middle school who pretend to be stupid because they think the boys like it. And it's okay, she was still very cool and I had a lot of fun. But then the next day boyfriend told me about one of his professors that he thought was super hot and when he described her it made me realize how different I was from all these girls he'd been attracted to (and his ex girlfriend). Most of them are blonde, have fake boobs, are super thin, kind of ditzy, they like to party and get stupid drunk. I'm not unattractive, I eat healthy and I work out a lot so I have a good figure and I take care of my body. I would say I'm average looking face wise and I'm okay with that. I'm also incredibly smart. I'm in school for engineering and I'm the biggest nerd. I feel like I'm the exact opposite of these girls. I'm tall, awkward around new people, I prefer getting drunk at home by myself than at a party, I have small boobs for my body size, I'm just not what he's historically been into. His ex girlfriend didn't have the perfect body either but she was kind of ditzy as well and more into parties than anything TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/legaladvice TITLE: [CA] Can I have a car that is parked in the red towed? POST: I live in an apartment complex with a gated parking lot that has its only exit onto a very busy street. The drive way that lets out of the parking lot and onto the street is flanked on each side by a red no parking zone about 2-3 car lengths long so that cars pulling out can have a clear line of site of the oncoming traffic. A few of the apartments face onto the street and legal street parking can be hard to come by. Some of my neighbors consistently park in the redzone adjacent to the parking lot's only exit, which makes it hard to see oncoming traffic. More than a few times I have almost been t-boned by oncoming traffic since my view is obstructed and I either cannot see the cars with enough time, or I have to pull out farther to see around the illegally parked car. I can't imagine that I am the only person in our complex who has had this problem. I am currently writing a note to put on the cars that park there to ask them to please park elsewhere or a tow truck will be called. My question is, am I allowed to call a private towing company to tow the car away or do I have to contact police? I would hate to waste police resources with something so trivial. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I [23M] have developed a crush on my friend's wife's sister [17F] and don't know what to do. POST: My best friend that I've known for most of my life got married yesterday and I was his best man. His wife's sister was the maid of honor. Just to give you an idea of the age range of everyone, the bride and groom are both 24. Anyway, I live a state over from all of them so I visited for all of last week. Since most of the time was spent doing last minute wedding prep, I ended up spending a lot of time with the maid of honor. I had met her a few times before this past week, but this was the first time we spent any substantial time together. Long story short, some innocent flirting took place and now I can't stop thinking about her. It's been 3 years since my last relationship and I haven't even had feelings for anyone since then. A few things weird me out about this situation/tell me this isn't and shouldn't be going anywhere: 1. The age difference. I've graduated from college and she hasn't even started her senior year of high school. 2. She has a semi-serious boyfriend (as serious as you can be in high school, I guess). I've never met him. 3. This all hits to close to home. I've started considering the long-term when it comes to relationships because a lot of my friends are starting to get engaged or married, and dating my best friend's wife's sister just seems weird to me. Despite all that, I can't deny that I like her. It could partially be because I'm lonely or haven't had romantic interaction in 3 years, but regardless, the feelings are there. Cutting off contact won't really work either since she'll likely be around some or most of the time when I go visit my friend. Also, I've gotten pretty friendly with their family as a whole and I wouldn't want to get on their bad side. After writing this, I'm not really sure what advice I'm looking for. I guess I'm looking for advice on how to stop thinking about her in a romantic context. Or maybe I just needed to get this off my chest. TL;DR: . Assistant:

So because I'm going through finals right now, I asked my boyfriend if I could have some of the Adderral that he left at his house before we went back to school (he goes to university about an hour away and lives at an apartment near campus). No problem, he said he would have his sister drop one off at my house. She brings it and I go inside, and I notice inside the small baggie along with the Adderral pill, is a very small white square. I knew it was some kind of drug but I wasn't sure which. I called my boyfriend and asked him what it was. He laughed nervously and told me not to take it. As I tried to pry, he just kept telling me not to take it. Finally he admitted that it was acid, and that he is holding it for his friend. I just don't buy it. That is literally the oldest excuse in the book when it comes to drugs. Why would your friend need you to hold LSD for him? When I told him I'm going to throw it away because I don't want acid in my house, he got upset and told me not to. I'm just so upset that it is possible he is doing these types of drugs and not even telling me. He has asked me before what I would think if he took acid or mushrooms, and I told him that while I am not a fan (yes I know I'm a prude) I would not stop him. I would just like to know that he is doing it and I want to be assured that he is in a safe environment. He didn't even care that I was audibly upset when he hung up. Am I overreacting? Thank you!

And a fer-de-lance. And a few cobras. POST: Two friends and I have been planning to rent a house together this coming school year. I'll call the friends "Richard" (the one backing out) and "Thomas" (the one with snakes). Thomas has forty or fifty snakes, of which five are venomous. It isn't just a hobby for him; he's an honest-to-god expert -- the nearby hospital called him for help when someone showed up with a snakebite. Some of these snakes are extremely dangerous. Thomas has had these snakes with him for years (including in a dorm room -- don't ask) without incident. He has permits for all of them. We were within a day of signing a lease when Richard's parents called him and said things to the effect of "oh god please no." As a result, he's dropping out of the lease. This is a bit of a pain. I personally am not super keen on the idea of finding a third person for a lease this late in the day, even putting aside the difficulty of finding someone who would be okay with Thomas's snakes. I also get the impression that Richard would very much like to move in with us, but is unwilling to upset his parents so greatly. I'm open to any advice, whether that advice is "move on and find a third renter," "here's something you could try to make Richard's parents feel better about this," or "here's something you could try to show Richard that he shouldn't listen to his parents on this."

I'm an ISFJ if that matters so I think I might cross-post this over to /r/mbti or /r/isfj but I just wanted to get some different opinions on this issue. I love my alone time. I like listening to the sounds of the birds or wind or water, I prefer music over television as background noise. Having the news on or listening to people talk in the background irritates me to no end to the point. I'm currently on vacation staying with some family friends at their condo and I'm going insane. I'm very grateful that they're letting me stay here, don't get me wrong. How do I tell my pseudo-grandma that her non-stop babbling drives me INSANE without being rude about it? If I'm in the same room as her she needs to vocalize every single thought that pops into her head, I cannot go 10 seconds without her saying something to fill the void and the television with news on is constantly running in the background. Whenever they ask me if I'm bored or what I want to do or watch I've answered the same questions with "I love that we don't have to do things or talk 24/7 or I'm perfectly comfortable right here just hanging out doing or own thing etc" I've tried spending a lot of my time in a room by myself where it's a bit quieter but I don't want to come across as rude or I don't want to spend time with them. Any suggestions on how to vocalize my needs for some quiet time would be much appreciated, she's so sensitive and kind I don't want to hurt her feelings. I also have the same problems with people at work coming into my office and having conversations that go on WAY TOO LONG and they don't get the hint that I want the conversation to be over so I can go back to doing my work so any advice on those situations would be appreciated too.

POST: I'm not trolling for emotional reactions here...I'm sure that I simply don't see something that's obvious to everyone else, but no one I've asked so far has been able to explain it to me. I don't understand Pirate Bay. I mean, I get torrenting and downloading movies and music and why people do it. What I don't understand is the extreme animosity people have, like using bittorrent is a middle finger against "the man" and downloading a movie makes you some sort of liberal freedom fighter...the idea that Pirate Bay is some sort of mecca for intellectual freedom. I mean, you downloaded a movie, you didn't cure cancer. I can't understand it as anything other than a sense of entitlement. I mean, we aren't talking about life saving medication here. Or clean water. Or the right to vote. Or anything else that really should be a basic human right that you get just because you were born. We're talking about movies and music. Entertainment. Why do we get to be entitled to on demand movies without payment? Why is that a basic human right? I'm referring specifically to the Pirate Bay legal files - letters sent to them by companies like Dreamworks, requesting their copyrighted works be removed from the site. I completely understand not removing them. Pirate Bay is based in Sweden, US copyright law doesn't apply. What I don't understand is the vengeful, hatefilled rhetoric, such as "It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are ....... morons, and that you should please go sodomize yourself with retractable batons. Go fuck yourself." and "Instead of simply recommending that you sodomize yourself with a retractable baton, let me recommend a specific model - the ASP 21". The previous lawyers tried to use a cheaper brand, but it broke during the action." The person who wrote these letters was hailed as a liberal hero. Why? TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: I've known this girl, we'll call her Julia. Julia and I have been friends for as long as I can remember, and although we started off not liking each other, we eventually grew quite fond of one another. Her mom and my mom became best friends and are pretty much inseparable, and we've been on several vacations together. I've never seen her as anything other than my friend, if that makes any sense? As in, she was a friend who happened to be a girl. Well, a few years go by, out parents drift apart, and I see Julia maybe a few dozen times a year. Our parents recently reconnected, but she has a weird relationship with her mother, and she doesn't really come over when her mom does, so I don't get to see her other than during holidays or my birthday. I feel guilty for feeling this way towards somebody I felt was a friend. I feel like I'm turning into a nice guy, because I keep thinking of ways to ask her out, or ways to get her alone during a party and stuff. I even think about sappy romantic stuff like going on dates to ice skating rinks and stuff haha. I know it's corny, but I honestly can't help it, I've become pretty much infatuated with her. If I asked Julia out, or showed any signs of wanting her, I'm pretty sure that it would cause some drama with her mother and mine if it got ugly for some reason I can't fathom at this moment. Should I go for it? How should I do it? Wait for me to see her again during a party and risk it not even happening? Or message her? Should I just give up altogether? I honestly never felt this way towards a friend before and it's a lot more complicated(In my mind at least) than a regular crush. TL;DR: . Assistant:

I started as pre-med biology, then went to English, then to physics--very short period--and then to computer science. My other friends have had two majors maximum, and my parents didn't go to college. I've been taking chemistry this semester, and I LOVE IT. I am reading books outside of class on it for fun, going through the lessons on Khan Academy, asking questions in class, and otherwise engaging with the material in a way I haven't since about eighth grade. I really, really think chemistry is the place for me. The thing is, I already feel like a loser for switching around so much and wasting so much of my time/money, and I'm worried the people I care about will see me as some kind of a loser if I switch *again*.

POST: So my ex and I dated for over 4 years and broke up about 3 months ago, we said we would stay friends. We work at the same place and have contact with a lot of the same people so I feel like it's impossible that our lives will ever be separate unless one of us finds a new place to work. For awhile I was a bit depressed and she came out as a lesbian about a month after the break up and is dating somebody that we both know and are friendly with. Of course I was a little upset about it, but I wasn't about to tell her that since she already has a bit of an issue with depression, and coming out to her parents has already caused a lot of problems so I didn't want her to feel any worse than she already did. So I just sucked it up and have been as supportive as possible to her through out this and I'm still friendly with her current girlfriend. 4 or 5 weeks ago, her friend and I started hanging out, going to bars, just hanging out together with no motive of hooking up or dating or anything, we are just friends. Recently, my ex comes to me and says that I've crossed a boundary by hanging out with one of her friends, not just because we're hanging out but I guess how close we've become in the 4 or 5 weeks. She feels like this is heading towards us hooking up. While I understand that the concern is warranted, I have tried to reassure her that will never happen and I wouldn't do that to her. I am also annoyed by this situation because I feel like the boundary was already crossed 2 months ago when she decided to date somebody that we're both friendly with from work. I wanted to point this out to her but she already isn't in the best state of mind so I didn't want to make her feel bad about that. Can anybody give me a little insight from an outside perspective?

I took off work for last week, and again for today so I'd be present for the installation. Today, they said they were going to show up at 9:30 in the morning, and they haven't shown up yet. I've been calling the company over and over again, getting voicemail. When they do call me back, they just promise me that they're on the way, and that the truck broke down. I highly doubt this as it's been five hours since that very first phone call, and if the truck really did break down, couldn't they get a new one? I'm reluctant to call and cancel because the company made me put down a 50% deposit.

POST: Before I start, I want to say that I dont need advice on how rarely highschool relationships work out, people change, etc. I get that, and I've already decided I'm willing to risk it. Also, this question seems to be really hypothetical, but the reason I'm wondering is because some of the colleges we're applying to have binding early decision, and so what we decide now will have an impact in the future. My boyfriend and I are planning to apply to various colleges together, and go to whichever one we both get into. There is no way to say this modestly, but both of us are very good students (top 10/800+ students, SATs above 2300, 5's on AP, etc). That being said, we will be applying to a bunch of top or middle-top tier schools, and I am confident that we can get into at least a third of them. However, I'm scared that one of us will get into one of the reallyyy good schools we're applying to, for example Yale, but the other wont. However, we are also both applying to Johns Hopkins, and i'm pretty sure we can both get into it. So, if this should be the case (one of us gets into Yale but both of us gets into JH), do you think the one with the better acceptance should give it up and go to JH? This wouldn't be a HUGE drop, like from Harvard to a community college, but the two schools are definitely not on the same level. I already asked my bf about this, and he says he's prepared to give up the good college, but I'm afraid that he will come to resent it in the future - I know I would, at least sometimes when I look back on these years, because Yale has been my dream college since middle school. This is a very specific example, but I just thought naming exact schools would make the issues easier to follow - The problem is the same with other schools we're applying to too. TL;DR: . Assistant:
If either my bf or I get into a top college (ex. yale), should we give it up to join the other in a middle-tier college, or will it cause bad feelings in the future?

He agreed and said we would meet up sometime this weekend. So far so good. But then... he just ignored me. I didn't text him at all until today. I also tried to call him once, but of course he didn't pick up. I can see he's seen all my texts (7 over the course of 3 hours, in which I told him that if he didn't answer I'd go knock at his door, and a list of the stuff I want back). I asked a mutual friend of ours if she knew anything. Well, on Friday he apparently told everyone that he had broken up with me. Then I saw on my Facebook feed that he liked his ex's new profile picture and commented that she looks "dashing". I immediatly deleted him because I don't need to see this. What the hell? Do people do this? He's 27 for God's sake. It's not like we only dated for a few weeks - we were together for over a year and a half! I definitely don't want him back, but I can't believe that he would just do this to me. I feel like I don't even exist. Do I show up at his appartment unannouced? I feel like this is my only option as he's not answering any of my texts. I told him I was going, just not when. I'm afraid he would get out of the house at that time... because it's becoming obvious he isn't past the age of playing hide and seek. I am just baffled that he would do such a thing. I knew things weren't as good as they used to be, but this is just absolutely ridiculous and very much undeserved. I'm hurt. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: I am a college freshman and I'm trying to get my confidence back after having it destroyed. A lot of people see me as being shy, but that's not technically true. As a kid I was a natural born extrovert, the rare class clown who also got straight A's. I was born with that kind of lion-esque confidence that some people have. In middle school I had that confidence beaten out of me, either with fists or with words. By high school I trusted no one and assumed that everyone was out to get me. While I can now see how stupid that was, I couldn't then. Hating everyone didn't get me many friends, or girlfriends. After I lost my virginity I got a little of that confidence back and started getting with girls pretty regularly, but that didn't last long. After the first ugly breakup with a girl I went right back into a shell. So now I'm a freshman at a small community college and it's very hard to meet people. I have a few close friends who I rarely see, I'm in a band, and I can feel that old confidence coming back, but it's coming back very slowly. I would appreciate any advice on speeding up the 'recharging process' and also on meeting new people. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I (21F) prefer being a "mom" to my boyfriend (21M) rather than a girlfriend. POST: My boyfriend and I have been together 3 years. We're living together but only temporarily. I move back to the college dorms in January. I've really liked living with him. This place has a kitchen, so we cook our own food rather than eating at the dining hall. Rather, I cook the food. I get a lot out of making him breakfast in the morning and leaving it on his nighttable while he sleeps, or tidying up his room while he's out. I don't really do it much in front of him because it makes him feel like he's in debt. I've told him over and over that it isn't the case. I actually really enjoy this sort of thing. Thinking about moving back to the dorms and back with other roommates (none of whom I know) has been a bit depressing for me. But honestly, the thing I'm going to miss most is taking care of my boyfriend the way I have been these past few months. I've really liked this 'mom' role, much more than being a 'girlfriend'. We always argue about sex, and we always argue about going on dates, but it's not like we argue because he doesn't like the food I've cooked. Being a mom in this case is stress-free, while in the other cases feelings and emotions are always in play. I just don't know if I'm going to cope well with going back to how our relationship used to be. I'd like to talk about this with him, and I have tried to several times, but the conversation never really ends up being fruitful, so I'd like some advice from you more experienced individuals. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I prefer being a mom to my boyfriend rather than a girlfriend, but the mom time is coming to an end and I'm worrying a bit.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: MyGF [27/f] and I [26/f] have been happily dating for 3 months, until last week when she decided to criticize EVERYTHING I do... POST: MY GF and I met and started dating exclusively 3 months ago. We're very happy, always laughing, lots in common, similar life goals... But starting about a week and a half ago, we cannot go a whole day without her criticizing SOMETHING about my career (I'm a successful freelancer, but she resents that I have so much time off between my gigs), my mannerisms, my habits. EVERYDAY. literally. I don't fight with her about it, and let her vent her frustrations about me (I always welcome honesty), but it seems to be getting worse. Today, when I confronted her about her frequent nit picking and why she suddenly insisted on doing it so often, and how it affects me, she said that " It just annoys her, and wants to make me aware of it, because it will never change if she doesn't tell me". I suppose I just don't really know how to feel about this. She seems resentful and frustrated all the time recently, and is insisting I alter several of my harmless (seriously, harmless) habits and mannerisms( i.e. "I eat too fast" "I exaggerate too much" "I don't put the dishes in the dishwasher in an organized-enough fashion" ). I'm happy to compromise for relationships, but is this crossing the line? I have never put any expectations like this on her, ever. I'm worried it's connected to a deeper problem. TL;DR: . Assistant:
GF is asking me to change a lot of things, which I'm happy to do, but I don't know if it's crossing the line or just asking for more demands.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Did the Internet and modern communication prevent WW3? POST: At the beginning of the year war was looming between North and South Korea. China was allied with the North and America was allied with the South. Since then most of the news regarding the impending doom was over shadowed with the tragedies happening in Libya, Australia and Japan. Everything was in place for war, 2 nuclear super powers on supposed opposite sides about to defend their allies until death, so what happened? Was it because of America and China economic ties that have only been made possible through the advent of instantaneous communication through out the world? I need to know if my train of thought is correct. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Did America and China prevent WW3 (starting with N and S Korea) by being so reliant on each other through trade only made possible through the Internet and phones.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I [19F] is having a hard time whenever my SO [20M] of 1 year is out of town POST: A little background. We both live in the same town, not living together though. We've been friends for the last 5 years but only began dating almost a year ago. Neither of us has cheated on the other person. Whenever he is away from town for a few days I get sad and restless. I don't believe its the sometimes nice feeling of missing someone and its not a trust issue either since I don't believe he will cheat on me. I just feel like the loneliest person alive and begin to think about things that makes me depressed and I cry and sleep the most of the time. It is really getting on my nerves since I am a very happy and outgoing person on all other occasions. I went to a therapist 8 months ago because my friend almost killed himself but it feels in some way useless to try it for this purpose since im super happy whenever he's close to home which he is most of the time. What should I do? TL;DR: . Assistant:
I can't do anything else than cry and sleep whenever my SO is away for a couple of days. How can I change this behavior?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My [19M] girlfriend [18F] went to guy friends apartment got too drunk to remember the night and slept there. POST: My girlfriend got really upset one day and broke up with me. We resolved it Sunday she was just freaking out about all the changes in her life. She broke up with me on Tuesday and we talked and I thought we resolved it to taking a break not breaking up. We were going to try to work it out. We were talking about stuff and then she said she was going to her friend Kaylas for the night. So I let her go. The next day we went to lunch to talk and she reaked of alcohol. I asked her how much she drank and she said enough to not remember the night. I don't like that she drinks but it was fine she was with her best friend Kayla. Sunday comes and she says she needs to talk to me. I go over and she is bawling and said "I didn't actually go to Kaylas Wednesday. I went to Ryans." He is 19 and lives in an apartment by himself. They worked that night together and asked her to come over to talk because she was upset. She went over and they talked and before drinking told him nothing was going to happen. Then she drank who knows how much but she doesn't remember anything after that. He swears to her nothing happened. That he slept on the couch etc. I trust her saying she didn't want anything to happen and he is just a friend. Except he has told her before he has feelings for her. She told me even if I did do something with him we were broken up so it's not cheating. That makes me kind of fishy. We talked about it and I'm pretty certain nothing happened but I can't help feel betrayed by her and hatred for him. I don't trust guys around her very much because they all try something on her. Am I in the wrong to be upset even though we were broken up? I have forgiven her and if if happens again I'm gone. But how do I cope with her still being friends with him. She talks to him all the time and I can't help but feel jealous and hatred. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Girlfriend and I broke up, she was upset and stayed the night alone with guy friend. She got drunk and doesn't remember anything that night. Back together now can't stop feeling angry

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: [Update] My (27m) best friends (28m) sister(22f) who i saved from her rape keeps makibg advances POST: [Original]( Before i start I would like to thank the people of reddit for the advice i was given. I went to her this morning to admit my feelings. When i did the longest momebt of silence that ever happened occured. She hugged ne, started crying on my chest, and released all her emotions on me. She said she has loved for a long time and believed that after her attack that i qould see her as dirty, trashy, and used. She feared that because she was quick to give up on herself then i would eventually giv up on her too. I told her that i would never consider her any of those things and that she could fall as many times as she pleased, but i will always be there to pick her back up. After things settled down we discussed postponning out relationship until shes further down her recovery. Her therapist thinks its best she not have a relationship until shes done with her therapy. She thinks that i am best at helping her recover( other than herself). I told her famuly this and i was met with sarcasm. " great job OP, it only took you 4 years". Her mom said ive had her blessings since sort of, not yet, recovering gf was 18. She grinned as as dad slipped her cash from i assume a bet. Thats pretty much it. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Admitted feelings to friends sister. She admitted her's. Postponibg relation ship until her therapy is over. Family was very sarcastic about it.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/legaladvice TITLE: [Oklahoma] Contract Dispute POST: I'll try to keep it short for you all. This is in Oklahoma. Before we started building we agreed upon the terms and signed two contracts. We signed a Construction Agreement and Specification Agreement. The first one lines out the overall terms of the contract, the second one lines out the specifications that the home is to be built to (construction materials, quality, etc). Both of these documents have a total sales price listed on them, however the price is different on each one. The Construction Agreement has the price listed at $200K, which is $6K higher than the price that is listed on the Spec Agreement. The main dispute we are having is over a septic system. When we entered into the agreement we agreed that I was going to install the septic myself and save us $6K. However after construction started we had a hiccup with our guy and we ended up letting the builder install it for us. On the Spec Agreement (the one with the lower price) he actually has in there that one of the things he agrees to is to install a septic tank, even though when the contract was signed he wasn't going to do that. This Spec Agreement says the sales price of the home with him installing septic is $194K. When I saw the discrepancy in prices I thought he'd just forgotten to take the $6K off of one contract, but not the other. When I talked to him about it he said it was a typo and the price on the Master Agreement (the higher price) is the correct price and the price on the Spec Agreement is a typo, plain and simple. What he is trying to do now is to charge us the higher price ($200K) plus an extra $6K for installing the septic. I'm not trying to get anything for free here, I'm just wanting to be fair. TL;DR: . Assistant:
The Master Agreement has the price as $200K without a septic tank. The Spec Agreement has the price at $194K and says he is to install a septic tank included in that price.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My girlfriend had an old boyfriend stay in her room the past two nights. She seems to think that's ok. POST: They are using the same bed, and did last night as well. (I am 21, she is 18 with the mind of a 30 year old) we were OK tonight, but it had been bothering me the whole day, so with my friends advice I told her exactly how I felt about the situation (Thretened, amazed that she would think this was ok, ect.). She responded with venom, and turned every point that I made into something against me (that I am being selfish, who gives you the right to blah blah blah). The only reason I was OK with this (she asked me) was that I really thought she would find him another bed to sleep in. I am so incredibly stupidly in love with this girl it's not even funny. I dont care if it ends, I just want it to end well so we can still talk. (back story) I am a romantic who opens themselves up to a person complealy when it comes to a committed relationship. we have been dating for seven months For the last month or so, she has been distant and wanting more space This week we had a fight about "space", and I have been laying off as much as possible, letting her engage me. I stayed over Friday night, and we had a great Sunday morning, untill she rolls over at tells me that he is coming up up in a few hours. from that point on, she was very cold and distant. TL;DR: .

POST: I'm a 20 year old female and I get that this is only normal considering my age but I can't handle myself anymore. I have never had sex and don't plan on it right now due to body issues etc. I masturbate everyday and sometimes more than once. I stopped watching porn because its unfulfilling and instead sext/phone sex with a guy friend of mine. I've been regularly going to the gym. Eating mostly healthy and sleeping the right amount. But regardless of all this, I feel horny almost all the time, especially with this guy friend. I've come to the point where I feel I need sex and having had a bad experience before and where I am with my self image right now, I can't get myself to participate in sexual intercourse. Please let me know of any ways I can help lower my libido. Thank you TL;DR: . Assistant:
Don't want sex due to body issues. High libido has me frustrated, and unfulfilled all the time even after masturbating. Help me

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Anybody else with Aspergers/Autism find it hard to do 'simple' social things? I need really quick advice for a social situation. POST: I have Asperger's. Basically I overreact when things I planned don't go as planned. I've been having trouble in my life, because I do not have a job or go to school currently. I live by myself. I have way too much free time and I'm not keeping as busy as I should. I'm in a smalltown newfoundland. It's pretty isolated and friendships are few. Managed to make friends with a few people. The problem is, that I'm having a panic attack because my friend can never visit me for more than an hour. It's a 'friends with benefits' situation so I probably have strong emotions for him too. Anxiety (and other factors) prevents me from being around him and his partner. So I don't see him as often as I know I should. TL;DR: . Assistant:
my plans didnt work out and I don't want to spend the weekend by myself depressed and anxious again. Just phoned friend and got really upset when he said he can only come over for an hour.
