Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [M26] and my girlfriend [F31] are constantly over-analysing our new relationship [3 weeks]. POST: So my girlfriend and I were both Forever-Alone types until we met. Neither of us have had a major relationship since high school, and as a result we're both out of practice and super-paranoid about everything. And since we're both massive geeks, we're constantly looking for information and validation on what we're doing. Whenever we do anything, we over-analyse our actions way too much, instead of just doing it. The day after our first kiss, we spent half an hour talking nervously about how we kiss, if we like it, if the other person didn't like it, etc. By the end both of us felt embarassed and apologised for asking so many questions. Whether it's physical stuff like hugging or kissing, or other stuff like where to go on dates, when to see each-other and the like we're always having meta-conversations about what we're doing. Besides the meta stuff, our relationship is pretty awesome (we're both *incredibly* attracted to one another, physically & mentally). TL;DR: . Assistant:
Me & GF are out of practice and overly nitpicky about our relationship. Is this just a natural part of a new relationship, or is there some way we can minimise it?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: How do I (25/F) get over somebody (27/M) I wasn't even dating? POST: So I have a casual relationship with M/23 since November. We haven't really had the exclusive talk yet and I know he wants to get more serious. Anyway, I met this other guy through a game. We started hanging out a lot since January. I'd stay over at his house and we'd have a lot of sex. But we were only friends, maybe a little more than friends but not dating. I was even thinking of breaking it off with M/23 for this guy. Anyway, last week M/27 broke it off with me. His life is getting hectic and he needs to get it under control. He's gotten more responsibility at his job, his life is going out of control, etc. I'm devastated. The guy used to say we were going to take trips together, hinted that he would eventually ask me to move in with him, the whole shebang. I was starting to envision a life with him. Now even when I hang out with M/23, I'm still unhappy and all I can think about is M/27. We're still trying to remain friends and everything but it's really hard to talk to him. He won't budge on his decision (I got weak and asked if there was anything I could do to change his mind). How do I get over him? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Not dating, more than friends breaks it off with me after I thought we were going to get more serious. How do I get over him?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationship_advice TITLE: I'm 17/m in a 2 year relationship (17/f). I think I'm too clingy - She says I'm not but acts like I am. POST: So 2 years ago my friend (girl) introduced me to a girl - we hit it off, and find each other to be very attractive. We've both had rough pasts, though hers a bit more so than mine. Anyways, at first we got along so well, we were flirty with each other, and talked as much as we could. We never wanted time apart. However recently (last few months) we constantly argue. The arguments start because "I don't know how to leave her alone." And this is true - I don't want to just stop talking to her. I'm a very lonely person without her. These arguments happen fairly often, and have gotten worse. I know she's not uninterested in me, she still wants to be physically with me as much as possible - It's just when we aren't with each other and all we can do is text or be on the phone. I being a sensitive guy have brought up the fact to her that I feel like I'm too needy, or too clingy, partly because for some reason I want her to just tell me I am. She never has. When I do bring this up she says that I'm not. We respect each other, and we love each other - we don't want to lose each other by any means. I can tell that she still wants to be with me. She's never been unfaithful. I just want to fix myself. How do I just give her time to herself and not feel so.. depressed and lonely? I've tried so many things like Drawing ( I'm a decent artist) video games, youtube videos, walks, ect. but nothing seems to get the fact that she doesn't want to talk to me out of my mind. Please help. Any advice would be so greatly appreciated. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: My boyfriend and I have been together almost two years and lived together for the past 6 months. Things have been great and I wouldn't change a thing. This year for my birthday he went all out, he got me some clothes and a video game and took me out to dinner. I know he had to have spent a fair amount of money on me. Well, now it's his birthday coming up and it's the end of the year. All my financial aide that I had been living off of went to rent and food and I have 2 dollars in my bank account. He recently got a job since he is not a student and has been providing for us for the past month, but before that I payed for everything. I'm not quite in a position where I can get a job because of school and sports or make any money, we live in a secluded area with not many options for extra income like donating plasma. I guess I'm looking for options of what I can do for him to make his birthday special and memorable with basically no money. I don't want him to think I don't care about him, I'm just not in a position to spend money on him right now. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationship_advice TITLE: I get upset when my boyfriend talks to girls he's hooked up with in the past, and I'm not sure what to do. POST: Little background story, kind of just throwing this all out there. 20f, 21m, dated in high school, broke up, he went away to college. At college he hooked up with a few different girls, which is cool, we were broken up and we both thought it was for good. Turns out it wasn't, started talking again, went to visit him multiple times, realize we want to be together again, he flunked out of college and moved back home. That was about two years ago and I still find myself hating him for hooking up with a bunch of girls. I know I should be able to trust him and get over it but what gets me is that he said he thought the idea of meaningless sex was the most disgusting thing. He also refused to tell me their names when I asked, and lied about it to me multiple times, I had to find out through a friend and confront him about it multiple times to even get him to admit to the actual number. Now, I love this man to death and I don't see myself breaking up with him, we've been through a lot yada yada yada.. Basically, he still contacts girls he's slept with and girls he's flirted with in the past sometimes, little conversations, nothing too intellectual or deep, but it kills me inside. Do I have a right to be upset? I know I can't prevent him from talking to whoever he wants to talk to, especially people he considers to be "friends,"and I'm 90 percent sure he wouldn't cheat on me, but it still hurts my feelings that he feels the need to talk to these people. I've talked to him about it before, should I bring it up again? Should I just ignore it and get over it? Should I declare him a hopeless case and split ways? This isn't the only problem in our relationship but I suppose I try to see things as a work in progress.. I'm just a little lost right now. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/dating_advice TITLE: I (22 F) have no idea how to read this guy (23 M) who I started talking to recently. Help! POST: Long-time lurker here. Okay, so I'm 22 (F) and just started talking to this guy who is 23. While I'm not particularly interested in him, I'm rather confused about his behaviors. Most days, he texts me so much that I turn off my phone from irritation and other days he sends me one or two texts. We've been talking for about three weeks and I have no idea how to react to him. The day after I met him, he told me about his hometown and suggested I go visit it to see some local parade and basically told me his life story, insecurities and dreams for his future. I told him next to nothing about myself, but I didn't lead on that he was creeping me out a little. Lately, I haven't been really responding because I've been busy, so he's stopped texting me as much (thank god). Well, today, out of nowhere, he tells me this elaborate (a little unbelievable) story about how he met some awesome girl and got her number. Does this mean he's lost interest and I can tell him that I'm not interested too without seeming cruel or is he trying to make me jealous? I've never had someone do this to me before. FYI, I'm not sure if he knows I'm wary of him. TL;DR: . Assistant:
This guy is confusing as hell and I want to know he is (hopefully) interested in some other girl or if I have to be the villain and tell him that I don't feel the same way.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My MIL (57/F) is terrified of animals and refuses to come over anymore to me and my SO's home and thinks I (27/F) got the animals to keep her away. POST: I have never had problems with my MIL, she's always been GREAT, like really! Never been a problem, never fought, ect. This was until a year ago. My MIL is terrified of all animals, I have always knew this. If she sees a stray cat a mile away from her she will panic. She has a few other family members who are the same way too. I say they all need therapy! I grew up in a household where we always had pets, I love animals. I cannot imagine a home without animals. Soon after me and my long term SO moved in together, we rescued 2 stray black cats. They are as nice as could be and are NOT asshole cats and are not aggressive (They do not hiss or swipe at people). I didn't even think this was a problem until we told my MIL, she freaked out. She claims that I got these cats to keep her away now. Even if I say I will lock them in a room so they can't get out (which I disagree with, I shouldn't have to do this to my cats, but I will comprise for her), she still won't come over. She even has said things like "And of course you got BLACK cats!", I didn't know she was superstitious? Weird. This is becoming such a strain. I refuse to get rid of my animals for her. She thinks I am being selfish because I know of her phobia and I still got cats anyways (honestly when we got the cats we didn't even THINK of my SO's Mom......like why does it have anything to do with her?). I suggested she get therapy for her fears and she got offended and says "I am not the problem, animals are the problem, they are dirty and belong outside, not in peoples homes". Am I in the wrong here? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/Advice TITLE: My brother has been stealing from me POST: Hi everyone. I was looking to get some advice on my situation and hopefully you guys can give me some ideas. Anyway, here goes. My fourteen year old brother has been stealing from myself and my other family members for the past year. A month or so ago, he pretended that someone robbed our house, and stole all of the cash I had in my wallet, as well as an expensive ring my boyfriend gave me. Now you're probably wondering how I know it's him. For starters, this incident happened precisely after my father and I left the house that morning. True, a robber could have been watching us, but the timing was just odd. Second, nothing of his was stolen. He had plenty of things that a thief would have taken since his room is right next to mine, but only I (and my parents) were missing anything. Third, his "girlfriend" came over today and she was wearing my ring. The same exact ring. There's no way in hell he could have afforded it because he's a kid, and her parents are not the type of people who would spend that money on her. My parents know the truth, and they also believe that he was the one who stole from us that day. But it never ended there, he continues to steal anything we leave laying around the house, including my mother's debit card, which my mom was smart enough to cancel before he could make charges. When I try to talk to her about this and about how she should be doing something, she pretty much just says "well, what do you want me to do about it?" I've purchased a lock for my door and don't leave my room without locking it up, so hopefully this will solve the temporary problem. But long term, what do I do? Deal with it until I move out, confront him, etc. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Brother steals from me and other family members. Aside from locking my bedroom, what do I do? Should I confront him if I know he's doing it?

POST: I'm a (female, American) college student who hasn't had any experience doing solo travel and I want to start figuring out where to start. I live in the northeastern US so while there are a ton of options for weekend trips around here (NYC, Montreal, Boston, and Niagara Falls jump to mind) I'm not sure where to start. I don't have a ton of money right now (hooray college!) and I have school and work during the week so I'm limited with budget stuff and scheduling right now, but that's okay because I'm honestly too scared to just go somewhere really far away for a week or whatever right now. I have traveled before (been to Europe a couple of times and spent time in China last winter as well as been to various places in the US and eastern Canada) but I was always with family or a big group so I never had to do any of the planning. I also have diabetes which makes travel a little difficult because I have to plan in advance so that I can take enough medical supplies with me (so I'm not trying to get into any sort of nomadic lifestyle). Does anyone have any tips on where I should begin? Articles to read? Websites to check out? Personal stories to share? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/tifu TITLE: TIP & TIFU by for seeing my great grandmother's death POST: Just a little background for you guys, my great grandma was 103 when this happened 3 years ago. 3 years ago today, April 1st was also on a Sunday, and at that time I attended a youth church group regularly. Now for the story. My best friend and I had been planning on hanging out all week after church. However, because it was April fools day, and me being the devious fool I am, decided to prank him. I texted him that morning saying that we couldn't hang out because my great grandmother had died, completely forgetting that his dad was preaching that day. When I get to church I'm instantly surrounded by pretty much everyone there offering their condolences, which I decide to go along with in an attempt to really get my friend. Well about halfway through the sermon the pastor calls me up on stage to talk about what happened and stuff like that. Well at this point I was sick of the joke so I walk up on stage, grab the mic and say "I really don't know what to say other than... APRIL FOOLS" expecting a big laugh. It took about 2 seconds for people to digest that the entire thing had been a joke and another 3 for the pastor to come up and rush me off the stage under the accusing eyes of all my fellow churchgoers. But the story doesn't end here. After church we went to my friends house and were hanging out and having a good time. At around 4 my parents called their home phone and said they needed to talk to me. Unknown to me at that time, my great grandma had been pretty sick and wasn't expected to live much longer. Well I get on the phone with my parents and they tell me that she passed away earlier that day. My response was "nice try with the April fools joke, but I already used it" then hang up the phone. My parents then drove over, picked me up and took me home and explained that it wasn't a joke, and she was actually dead. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Tried pranking my best friend in church, end up getting accused by the entire church. End up predicting my great grandmother's death later that day.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/dogs TITLE: Dream of Doggie Death POST: I am really jet lagged being day two in Budapest traveling from California. I woke up about 2am CET shaken and crying from a really disturbing dream. My childhood dog, Tammy, golden retriever/dacshund mix, lived until 15yrs old and was put down about 2 years ago. The dream's memorable part was Tammy having a small neck injury, I was taking care of her and cleaning a wound around her neck. Eventually it was like her whole neck had a cut all the way around and I desperately held her head on her body trying to prevent her bleeding out. I had this feeling of absolute dread that my dog was going to die, bleeding out in my arms. I was screaming for help, I couldn't move her as it would expedite her death. She looked at me so dependent, longing, trusting, and fearful of her own mortality. Blood pooled on the ground, and I knew she didn't have long. I woke up crying and confused, and I'm balling as I write this. I got a new wonderful amazing papijack dog in April. I usually travel with my dog, domestically, but can't internationally due to quarantine laws. I have my boyfriend looking after him and he sends me pictures of their walks and gives me updates. He is taking great care of him and I'll see my boy in about a week when I return. I'm probably just grieving my old dog and probably preparing for the inevitable loss with new dog. He is only 2 years old, so we have a lot of time to look forward to. It is just so sad to outlive your doggie and dreams are too real sometimes. I've had other dreams about BBQing the new dog, performing surgery to save him, ultimately butchering him, and putting him on the BBQ. By the time I realize what I've done it is too late, and I'm sad/appalled I murdered my beloved dog... Dreams are weird, I do love BBQ steaks though. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Dreamed gory death of my first childhood dog. Traveling right now and not with new beloved dog right now, missing him. Dreams are crazy.

POST: I'm having a tough time getting through our breakup. I think that it gets hardest when I think about her or reminisce about our time together. The problem is that everything seems to remind me of her. Almost anything I do or see brings back some memory of her. I'll see some food and remember that was a food she liked, and just like that, she's back in my head. Sometimes it'll be some memory that comes up out of the blue. I'll be doing nothing and I'll remember the time we went out on a date somewhere or some other time we spent together. Is there a way to stop this, or is it just something that will go away with time. I know that I can't just wipe her from my memory, she'll always be there, but is there a way to make it happen less, or hurt less?

Two days ago I took my pal a cup of tea, as he was working on our kitchen table. The mug was wet, slipped from my hand, hit the table and splashed tea on his MacBook. Immediately I grabbed the laptop, turned the thing upside down (moisture away from electronics) and did a force power off. Then we cleaned up, he wiped off the mac, and said it would probably be fine - not to worry. He then powers the mac back on. Mac works. A few hours later he goes to plug in to the charger, and realises the battery won't charge. The power lead keeps the mac on and powered but won't charge the battery. So now I'm really bricking it. He books into the 'genius' bar to get the thing looked at. Repair estimate - £570 (GBP.) Can't get it fixed elsewhere as this will void warranty. I am a student and have less than that in the bank to pay for rent etc, have a part time job which pays the bills. Do I lump up all the money? Does he have to take some responsibility ? He has no insurance. Any advice would be great, cause I'm not going to sleep until I have this sorted. TL;DR: . Assistant:

He says I make him happier than anyone ever has and probably anyone ever will. He just feels like he is too young to settle down. Is he stupid for letting go a relationship with someone that makes him incredibly happy? Or should I respect his decision? Is this bullshit? We've broken up in the past a couple times because of his desire to stray sexually, so I'm completely confused. He's matured a lot since then and seems more invested in the relationship (until, obviously, he wasnt). He either is bullshitting me, or is making a huge mistake he's going to regret. He's claiming it's just a break he needs. But should I be okay with that? I'm so confused. He seems very certain and confident that he gets to have one last break to go play and party before finally settling down with someone who makes him the happiest he's ever been. Do I let him go and make him realize what he's losing, or should I be mature and allow him the time to grow up? It still stands I dont know if he's bullshitting or not. TL;DR: . Assistant:

This is my friend's throwaway, first time posting on reddit so let's see how this goes. I am a 20 year old girl, dating a 23 year old guy. We've been together for almost 9 months. I love him. He loves me. I have been cheated on in the past, have been lied to, don't have a very positive male figure in my life. My boyfriend knows all this. We have had problems with him looking at other girls infront of me, but nothing that we have not dealt with. We spend a lot of time together, and I love being with him. Lately, my insecurities have been getting the best of me. I am an attractive girl but I have allowed my boyfriend's wandering eyes to make me feel horrible about myself. I am constantly worried he will leave me for another girl. We have been fighting to no end recently, about everything. I expressed my fears and worries and we got through it. However last night he made a joke about wanting to go see his doctor to get a check up on his private part (he was specific to include that detail.) His doctor is a fairly attractive young woman. I was very upset about this, I don't understand what is funny about telling your girlfriend you would like another girl touching you. I got really upset, and he apologized for his joke. This does not make me feel better. I love him a lot, and I know he loves me. But I really just don't know what to do. Do you guys have any advice on what to do? I feel even more insecure in his satisfaction now... I just want to feel loved, appreciated, wanted, and respected. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My boyfriend (M17) constantly talks about how attractive other girls are, and really messes up my (F17) self esteem. POST: We've been dating for fourteen months. My boyfriend has always been very honest with me about everything, which is one of the things I first loved about him. If I asked him a question, he'd give an honest answer, no matter what. My problem with this started about six months ago, when he told me that he liked another girl for the first month of our relationship, and the only reason they aren't dating is because she turned him down twice. It broke my heart. But he's started being honest about things that I really don't want to know the answer to, or question I haven't asked, such as telling me how hot another girl is, or how she has an awesome chest or ass, or along the same lines. Like, I get it. They're all very attractive. He'll always send me links from porn that he finds really attractive. But the problem lies in the fact that I have absolutely terrible self image, and with good reason. I have little to no curves, and a bit of extra chub on my stomach. I'm not fat by any means, but definitely not skinny. And every single girl he likes, or thinks is attractive, has a massive chest with a huge butt and is perfectly skinny. Think Victoria Secret model. And if they aren't curvy, they're short and cute and skinny and blonde, which is the exact opposite from me. The real kicker came yesterday, when he decided it would be a good idea to tell me he's in love with a fictional character. I freaked out, probably a bit more than I should, but I'm just so tired of it. Once we started fighting over this, he started trying to eat his words, saying that he just meant that she's "fun to play with". He had been talking about how she's so cute and perfect and attractive with awesome cleavage for ten minutes before, which is just suppose to traslate into "fun to play with". I don't know what to do. I love him so much, and I'm tired of feeling like I'm a second choice behind all these other girls. What can I do? I'm can't feel so worthless for much longer. TL;DR: .

He doesn't have to full blown, head over heels in love with me, I just want to know if the fact has crossed his mind yet. I want to know if he's considered falling in love with me. He says he wants to focus on school and not want to be distracted by thinking about, I personally don't see how it would change anything we'd be the same couple with stronger feelings... but I think it's his defense mechanism. It's not like I'm asking for a ring on my finger, I still have my entire life ahead of me, I also want to finish school before anything too serious. We're pretty much past the "having fun" mark, I mean i honestly didn't even think we'd last this long, falling in love just kind of happened. We're good together, I just don't want to be the only trying in the relationship, basically I'm asking how I should go about asking him if he's even thought about the chance of love yet? But in a way that won't freak him out because it's not that big of a deal, i'm just growing anxious. Or should I chill for a bit and see how things play out?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Boyfriend[23/M] group-hanging out with party girl [23/F]... Reasonable to be bothered or not? [5 year relationship] POST: My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years. Everything is 90% good. He hangs out with his 4 male friends on a regular basis to play a game that I don't like playing, so I never come. At times, those males bring their girlfriends or just female friends along, and it's always been fine with me. Now, however, a girl [23/f] "Trisha" is interested in becoming a regular part of their hangouts. The hangouts would be 4 guys (including my boyfriend) and now her. I barely know her, but from what I've seen of her on Facebook, she (based on the pictures): 1. drinks a lot and flaunts it 2. has stripped to her bra and underwear before with my boyfriend's friends 3. grabs her boobs (through clothes) and holds them up for camera at a party environment 4. stands on table while doing similar obnoxious behavior Soo... I don't think my boyfriend would cheat on me, but it makes me uncomfortable to imagine her becoming a regular part of their group. I also feel like it's almost disrespectful for him to be around someone like that on a regular basis. I've told him that it makes me uncomfortable, but he (he has had more social interaction with her than I have, but still pretty limited) says that those pictures are just pictures and don't represent who she really is. And that she is "just one of the guys" and not to worry about it. But here I am, worrying and writing about it on Reddit. Is it unreasonable for me to be bothered by this girl becoming a regular part of their hangouts? And how wrong would it be for me to request that my boyfriend does not hang out with her, or significantly limits it, rather than having regular hangouts with her involved? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Went on a backpacking trip with my GF and her family, been looking forward to it, took time off work to do it. I just got back from a 3 week work trip and a couple days later we go on this backpacking trip. Things go pretty shitty, it rains on us/hailstorms, her friend's dog shits in our tent, just overall no buenos. We get back, silent car ride home, her family stays and I go to my aunt/uncles so they have more room. She tells me that night that we need to talk. I go over today and she tells me that she's unhappy, feels overwhelmed, she says she doesn't know how to tell me whats on her mind and that she might not have been ready for a relationship. This is almost a year into the relationship, she's never brought any issues up to me (which was a big red flag I guess), and now all the sudden out of the blue things aren't working out, but she can't explain it to me clearly. What should I do? She seems like she has given up but still is open to talking. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: I'm headed off to a summer camp next week, where I'll most likely meet a girl I now have a big crush on. I met her last year and got her phone numer, so we talked a little but I stopped texting because I'm dumb and figured she probably wasn't interested, lived over an hour away, and was most likely headed to a different school for college. Now the camp is about to start again and I just found out we are actually headed to the same college! I'm super excited to see her again, but I'm afraid there will be awkwardness between us because we stopped talking (again, i'm *really* stupid) and also because i'm naturally quiet around people i'm not familiar with.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [17F] with my [18M] 'friends-with-benefits'; I need to move on with my life. How do I do it? POST: Hi. So a bit of background, I've known this guy since childhood and we've always been close friends. We dated on and off in high school, but nothing too serious. We've always had this weird sexual tension that I'm pretty sure is the only reason why I still think about him. Recently, we will both be graduating, and he has expressed to me all he wants to do is leave this town and experience all the wonderful things college will have to offer (note, we're going to the same college). That's great and all, except for the fact that I was wanting something serious, and this is where my problem comes in. Of course, being friends with similar interests, we hang out on the weekends, and being friends with awkward sexual tension, sometimes we end up making out on the couch or whatever. Classic, stupid horny teenager shit. He's always extremely friendly and kind during these weekends, but then turns right around and rarely talks to me in public or avoids me at school. After these weekends, I always end up feeling awful and even worse off emotionally than before. I leave feeling used and stupid, although I know I'm not helping the situation because I go to his house and make it very easy for him to interact with me. He's a touchy guy, and sometimes he takes the liberty to caress my arms or back of my legs when we might be standing in a crowd of people (nothing sexual, just talks the opportunity to touch my body). For some reason, I've been tied to this guy for a long time, and his opinion has always been very important to me (even to the point where I was restricting calories because I thought he would find me more attractive. No worries, I am recovering from my eating disorder, but I need to cut ties with someone who is obviously harmful to my mental health). I want to stop feeling so stupid for pretending this guy cares about me; what can I do to distance myself from him when we attend the same school system and move the fuck on with my life? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Guy only sees me as a friends-with-benefits, I need ways to distance myself from him and solutions for moving on with my life before college.

POST: My company allows us to bring our spouse as long as we pay for their food and transportation. She has come with me on 5 of my trips over the past 2 years (I travel a lot). She only attends if I am going somewhere that she is interested in exploring. Well it has becoming frustrating because we only work normal hours until 5pm and after that my coworkers and bosses all get together to do something every night. They always tell me to invite her but she always declines. Not once has she accepted an invitation and she has never formally met any of them because of it. I still go with them by myself and she doesn't care and just goes off and entertains herself somewhere. But I'm just starting to feel embarrassed. It feels like I have this mystery wife that comes with me on trips and hides the whole time or something. She doesn't purposely hide from anyone, she just kinda does her own thing and hasn't ended up in a situation where she has had to meet a coworker somehow. I've talked to her about this and she says that she just loves traveling and she only comes so she can have her own solo vacation with the bonus of having me still close by. She said that the idea of having dinner or going bowling with 50+ of my coworkers makes her feel out of place so she would rather not have to because it will make her very uncomfortable. Her not attending makes me uncomfortable. No one has said anything besides "Where's the wife?" but it just makes me feel like it is giving them the wrong impression. She said that next time she will go and do something with everyone if she has to but made it very clear that she is uncomfortable with it. I don't know what to do. If I don't make her go then I will be uncomfortable but making her go will make her uncomfortable. Also, not many people do bring their spouses. 3 out of the 5 times she was the only spouse that attended. Should I just let this one go? Is this just me over thinking it? Like I said, no one has actually said anything to me about it I just feel like they are thinking it is really strange. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: I live in an apartment with 3 other girls, 1 of whom wants to move out in April, because she is graduating early. Our lease ends August 31 so she wants to find a sublet to take over her rent for the months that she isn't here, so that she doesn't have to pay while she isn't living here. She has put up some ads, and the only replies she has gotten back are by people that the other 2 girls and I do not really approve of. She is getting frustrated, because we said no to the 2 people she has found, and she is also pressuring us to choose the people we would rather not live with by making us feel guilty. She told us today that she tried to buy her way out of the lease. Didn't work. **Can anyone tell me if there is a way she could completely screw us over (meaning she leaves and doesn't pay and we end up having to pay her rent)?** All four of our names are on the lease. She cannot sublet to anyone without our knowledge because she requires our signatures to do so. She basically threatened us today by stating some random thing about small claims court which was fairly unclear to me, so I just want to have my bases covered with possible crap she could pull. Any help would be appreciated. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: I'm a very confident man, I'm a CEO in my career. I met this "woman of my dreams" recently and she's literally every thing I have been looking for in a partner, I even think she has the perfect qualities to be an amazing mother. I am so serious about her and committed to delivering her the best rest of her life. We have hung out as friends over a month now, and she has gotten time to really know the "inner me" and she's sincerely said that she likes being with me and that I'm a really *nice* and amazing guy and she's lucky to know me. However, in this instance, I'm intimidated to ask her out on a date. She's younger than me, I'm shorter than her, and I'm also not the out-of-GQmagazine-type-of-attractive-male...plus, she's caucasian and I'm a white-washed asian. I can't help but worry she will instantly reject me without even looking deeper simply based of this fact that we might outwardly "look like a bad match". I can't help but be concerned that she will not even be proud to take me home to her parents even if it worked out between me and her. What would you ladies say if you were asked out by a shorter guy who isn't as attractive (appearance, but hot body)? Would you even go out on 1 date and give it an honest chance to work?

I just have this other side of me that's been really bothering me and confusing me so just here to find out more. :) TL;DR: . Assistant:

I'm at university (college for US users) and live next door to students at a rival university. It's Halloween evening and my 'wonderful' housemates pull the same shit they always do. Go out without me. I pop into my kitchen and see next door having an awesome party. Socially awesome penguin goes round next door, ringing doorbell and knocking door. Note that we haven't had much to do with these guys yet. Said hi once or twice, but not much else. Socially awkward penguin quickly realises no one will answer the door as they assume it's trick or treaters. Nip back round my house and in the back garden of next door is a guy from next door out smoking. A quick conversation with a housemate that lives there later and I'm making my way back round with a few beers. Sit down and quickly realise this is mostly members of said rival universities LGBT society. Fine. A parties a party. Have a laugh, drink a bit. Trawl back home at stupid-o-clock. I find one of the girls there is the only straight girl there (no bi girls, either). Everyone is playing drinking games / chatting etc, I get roped in to a twisted version of truth or dare. I get a dare of kiss the person to my right. Which was said girl. So I do. She gets the "what is your magic number" later on. Turns out she "lost count at about 40". (magic number = how many people have you slept with). Skipping on to later on in the eve, I'm dancing the night away with everyone and enjoying myself, she gets back in from the garden and gives me the "like you've got a chance look". Everyone else leaves much later on. I'm the last to leave the party, skulking home again to my bed alone. TL;DR: . Assistant:

We decided to eat there after a long day of soccer and I ordered my grand 3 hard tacos combo and ate up. Later that night, the tacos thought it would be a fine-ass idea to retaliate and make me feel worse than Billy Ray Cyrus felt about the progression of his shit daughter Miley. Trying to ignore the wrenching stomach pains, I went to bed and expected to wake up fine in the morning. I woke up at about 3AM, stomach pains pounding in my interior. Well, knowing things couldn't be good, I expected to puke. Being the lazy-ass thirteen year old I was, I thought "fuck-it, Ill hold it in and go back to bed.". Well, what a great idea that I pulled out of my ass. Minutes later, puke gushed out of my mouth like Niagara Falls, hitting the left side of my bed and forming a nice pile. Still being the lazy-ass thirteen year old I was, I dismissed the idea of cleaning it up right now and thought "Hell, I need some sleep, I'll just do it in the morning." So I went back to a peaceful slumber. The next morning, I awoke with a disgusting stench and finally comprehended what had gone on the night before. I looked to where the puke should have been, but there was only an orange stain and a bit of chunky leftovers there. Fuck you, Taco Bell. I immediately look down and see puke all over my blankets, clothing, and even bare skin. Being the movement-filled sleeper I am, I must have rolled around in the pile of puke during my sleep and successfully got it all over my bed sheets and body. Feeling defeated, I shamefully took a long ass shower that morning and washed my bed sheets. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Ate Taco Bell, puked at 3AM in my bed, was too lazy to clean it up and woke up covered in puke from rolling around in it.

I felt really bad about it so I spoke to her and offered her some money because she said she would be homeless without the money. I did this behind my then-boyfriend's back, which I know was wrong but I really didn't feel good knowing his mum could end up homeless. This happened a couple of times. Then-boyfriend found out about it and got really mad at me and her but everything's fine now. Since then she keeps reaching out to me for more money. It's gotten to the point where I feel like she only talks to me when she wants money. I find it really hard to deal with this because when she says she needs the money for food, that really makes me very sympathetic. I do not want to go behind my fiancé's back and give her money but I'm worried if I tell him she's been asking that he will get mad at her, and she will get mad at me for telling him. I also am a bit strapped for cash at the moment given that we are saving up for rent, bills, and food because when I move to be with him I won't be able to get a job for a while so I'm just saving every penny I can. It pains me to say no, and I also do not want this to continue for the rest of our lives.

POST: Here was my last update, 10 days ago, the links to the other posts are in there: This is just another brief update. My husband yesterday asked me to start divorce proceedings using his adultery as the reason. He says I can have the house and full custody if the children because he's moving to Belgium to be with his online girlfriend. To be clear, in Northern Ireland to get a divorce a married couple has to be living apart for two years (it hasn't even been three months) before a divorce can occur with consent from both people. Without consent the separation has to be five years. The exceptions to this are unreasonable behaviour or adultery-there are others but I've not sure what they are. So he can't start divorce proceedings, but I can. I'm completely amazed by this, he's throwing away his entire life for this woman he met online only 4 months ago, and has spent less than a week with in person, and that in London. He's never been to her country, her home, or met her child, yet he''s abandoning his own children to go raise someone else's. Not to mention he doesn't speak the language. At this stage it feels like my husband has been replaced by a pod person, he so little resembles the man I married. TL;DR: . Assistant:

To start we're both in our senior year of high school and have known each other since sophomore year. When we first met I really didn't notice her that much and didn't talk to her until another friend introduced us to each other. After that we really hit it off well and I just thought we could be really cool friends. Fast forward to next year and we have the same class again so we hang out constantly and try to partner up because we're both awkward around other people. (Side note we both are also on the swim team at our school so we naturally hang out a lot) People immediately notice and assume we're going out but we both fervently deny it as we're just friends. I was considering asking her out at this point, but was crushed when I found out she had just started going out with another guy before I could even ask. They break up at the end of the year because he was an asshole to her. Fast forward to this school year and I finally get her number so we're chatting pretty regularly and not relying on school to talk anymore. I'm finally getting my confidence up to ask her to homecoming just as friends so she wouldn't feel awkward when she tells me her friend introduced her to a football player from another school. They never date but he decides to take her to homecoming so I never even go just saying I hung out with friends that night. Except that my best friends date never showed up, and that she was forced to tag along with a friends group. At this point I'm getting frustrated and want to protect her from more bad relationships but I don't want to ask her out and ruin our friendship should it not work out. I only recently asked her to prom as friend after mustering my confidence and want to be able to try to ask her out then. I've never been in a relationship before because I hate the awkwardness that it causes but I really like her. Is there anyway I could tell her how I feel without ruining our friendship? TL;DR: .

POST: For those who don't know in the show, in an episode of Rick and Morty the family is given a box with a button. when you press the button a blue man with a high voice named mr. Meeseeks appears and will do whatever you tell him to do and then disappears once its done. they can press the button for multiple meeseeks but each can only do one thing. they are not gods and are more or less limited to human abilities. but here is the catch they cannot die until their given task is completed. Existence for a meeseeks is pain, and therefor a meeseeks will stop at nothing in pursuit of its given goal so it can finally die. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My boyfriend (25M) wants to move out of our apartment but stay with me (24F) POST: So my BF (25M) and I (24F) have been together for three years and we have been living together for about two years. Everything has been great, the relationship is fine. It's been convenient that we've lived together because his car had broken down and we have been fortunate enough to get by using only my car. He's able to walk to school and use my car to get to/from work. Now the opportunity for him to get a car has presented itself and he is considering moving back into his parent house to save money. He wants to stay together, but doesn't want the financial responsibility f living in an apartment. I'm devastated for multiple reasons. One being that he'd move out and I love having him around to come home to. And two, because although he doesn't pay much rent/utilities he does help out and the money he gives me every month definitely helps me get by. In my eyes it seems selfish to move out when I know he'll just be over all the time anyway like he was before he moved in. Except now he won't be "living" with me so won't have the financial burden. He says he wants to live with me but has to look out for his best interest. But what about mine? The biggest reason I'm still in this damn state is because I love my bf and want to stay until he done school so we could start our lives elsewhere. I've sacrificed a lot for him, and now I feel like he's just looking out for what's convenient for him. Barring the financial stuff it really hurts my feelings he'd want to move out in the first place. I feel like him moving out is like backtracking in a relationship. And I wonder if it will suffer because of it. I need help reddit. I am in a world of confused emotions and I dot know what to feel TL;DR: . Assistant:

I told her that I'm ok with her having done stuff but that is where I draw the line and that I will never be able to do that, she told me that although it was an ok expierience, she doesnt want to do anything like that again, that it was not her idea and that Im everything she's ever wanted, she wants me e.t.c.

Should I bring it up? POST: x-post from r/askreddit. I was using my SO's laptop watching some videos and such and happened upon some naked pictures of an ex. They were the kind of pictures you take with Photo Booth on a mac, so it had the date listed as the file name, and it was during a time when we were still dating. I just closed it out and didn't mention anything and stayed on the computer as if nothing happened. The thing is, I wasn't immediately upset or hurt by it. I was kind of just shocked and had one of those "...oh.." feelings. I don't know if I'm so shocked that I'm just feeling numb to the fact that my SO basically cheated on me, or actually physically could have because we have a long distance relationship and said ex lives in the same city as him. Granted, the date on the picture was almost 2 years ago, but we've been dating for 3 years. I was also constantly reassured by him, probably from 5 or 6 months into our relationship, that they weren't speaking anymore, and by the time we went to college (they went to different colleges in the same town, I go to college about 2 hours away) that they had no contact whatsoever. So, should I shrug this off because it was a long time ago, or should I bring it up because it was still during our relationship and I want to know what was going on? Right now I have no doubt that we are currently completely committed to each other, and it wouldn't even cross my mind that any sort of unfaithful behavior would be taking place right now. I'm just confused, maybe very slightly hurt, and curious about what actually happened during that time. If they had sex then my feelings would instantly turn into anger, but right now I'm just unsure. Do I bring this up, or let it slide? TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: My ex dumped me about a month and a half ago. I have been with three women in the past three weeks but it really does not feel the same at all. I talked to my ex on the phone about a week ago, just telling her that her new boyfriend is a piece of shit and that he's brainwashing her into not talking to me, etc. It might sound crazy but the only reason I was with those other women was because I thought it would win back this ex that I was seeing a lot for 2 months. Should I write my ex a love letter telling her how I feel? Should I call her once a day? Or should I just move on and try to find another girl like her? I do not want her to be the one that got away, and cannot seem to move on no matter how hard I try. She was basically my polar opposite, but I suppose that's why we were so attracted to each other. Does true love just fade away? Why hasn't she even attempted to contact me this past month and a half when that's all I've been trying to do is to get a hold of her. Life seems so meaningless without her and I really don't know how to deal anymore. There are tons of suitable partners around me but I don't feel the same way about them to any degree. I'm really just looking for any kind of advice. I love her, she loves me, but she can't seem to get over the fact that I asked if she was being unfaithful a couple of times. When the fight occurred I was 2 weeks behind on all of my school work and in the middle of a project, so I was stressed as hell in the first place, and then she being REALLY SARCASTIC which I struggle with regardless. These two things coupled together make me unbelievably furious, and I completely over-reacted. Not to mention how little sleep I was getting while I was with her. Should I be afraid to just show up to her house and give her the love letter I've been working on? TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: Me (17F) and my boyfriend (18M) have been going out for about a year, and I really, really love him. We have as close to a perfect relationship as you can get. It's exam season and to celebrate my friends had a wild party last night, and due to losing several shot games I got incredibly drunk. We're talking can't stand up, room-swaying kind of drunk. My friend and I were talking with one other guy and then suddenly she kissed me on the lips. I didn't really realise what she'd done until afterwards. Then later she did it again and I didn't stop it even though I knew what she was going to do. I am completely straight and have no attraction for her, but it was just a stupid drunk moment where I didn't think. I know my boyfriend would consider it just as severe as if I had kissed a boy and react accordingly. She has a boyfriend too but he is okay with it. What do I do?

I've been dating the same man for 1.5 years (living together for 6 months) and am seriously beginning to question our relationship. Every time he gets angry (for example, I told him I had to leave his company BBQ early to study for grad school tests) he lashes out by criticizing me. Specifically, he talks a lot about how I'm no fun, I need to let loose, my friends are "nerds" and I'm not sociable with his friends enough. I will admit it, I am rather shy kind of a "nerdy" girl while he was the total jock/popular kid in high school. I honestly do try to hang out with his friends but whenever there is any argument he brings up how I'm boring or am too shy. I've tried telling him that's just the way I am and I've made an effort to be more outgoing with his friends but we are just so far apart on this and I feel even more pressure to be "cool" when I hang out with his friends. What really bothers me is that he spews so many insults during arguments that are irrelevant when I make a point of not doing that because I know it is pointless and won't solve the argument. He has also expressed how he has to try "so hard" to keep our relationship intact by being someone he normally isn't. I'm wondering if since our personalities are so different that we just are not meant to be together eventually. What is taking a toll on me is not our differences, but the constant criticism of my personality, which honestly is never going to permanently change. I've told him this but every fight is the same thing. I just don't want to keep wasting my time if this guy isn't "the one", but I'm not sure if this i just a trivial thing that we will eventually get over, or a major red flag. Thoughts? Advice? TL;DR: . Assistant:

We work in different departments. When she started working, I took notice and made an effort to get to know her. After a couple months, I asked her out and found out she was involved with someone......which was verified when we became facebook friends later on. I didn't take it personal and we simply stayed friends at work. Well recently, I'm getting a vibe that she's interested in hanging out together. We never hangout outside of work, we just talk during work and we'll go out to lunch together. We never talk about personal topics, just current events. Oh, and I deleted facebook a few months ago. the reason I don't just ask is because I don't want her to think I'm just staying friends to wait until she's single.....cause that's not the case. And I'd like to avoid the "I already told you I'm involved" response. Like I stated eariler, we never talk about relationships, so it would be weird for me to bring it up nonchalantly.

He said it's not about revenge but I don't understand. **He's been the perfect boyfriend over the past two years.** He was faithful, sweet, kind, loving, and now he wants to fuck another girl just because I fucked another guy. I have a really bad feeling the girl he wants to have sex with is a chick he just met at college. I haven't met her yet but I get the feeling that's who he wants.

They added that no payment options were available aside from full payment, financing would have to be obtained through an outside party. I have no credit, I have no job, there is no one that is going to loan me 50K right now.

Another conversation was from our cousin. We'll call her Marie. Marie and my dad have a weirdly close relationship. I don't mean best buds, I mean like lovers. They hang out all the time. So my dad texted her stuff like how he's horny, hasn't had sex in over a month, they're already accused of sleeping together, and what sounds like him hitting on her. At one point he mentioned getting in her pants. They're blood related. I wouldn't have been so concerned about my dad doing this until I read this chat log. It makes me think he's OKAY with incest. He seemed to be joking when he slapped my butt, not an accident for sure. I yelled at him to stop. He walked away.

The only contact I have is via FB. I know it's not the best way, but I have to stick to it. Now my question is, is it better, to just text her and ask right away or should I start a conversation first and ask then? A little more background: I know her from university, had a course together. Hadn't a lot of time to talk there, because she was always late and left quickly afterwards. After the last session of the course she added me on FB, I think she didn't know my full name until then. I think she must have searched me, because we only have two friends in common (one is a fellow student from the course, the other one happens two be my ex... I don't know how close they are, but I assume they are only college mates). During the course we exchanged some smiles. After she added me, she wrote me in the chat and we had a brief small talk, mostly about uni stuff until she left. She isn't online often, so I wrote her a message some days ago, again small talk. She responded quickly, despites being offline, but didn't respond then, when I wrote again. So, should I text her again, when she's online and try to start a conversation or ask her out of the blue, if she wants to meet? FB is the only way of contact, because the course is over, it's summer break and it's a big uni, where you don't run into people often. Thanks in advance for your tips! TL;DR: . Assistant:

A few weeks ago, I was at a bar with some friends and this girl randomly shows up to hang out with us. She and I break off to get drinks from the bar and we start talking.

Unfortunately she had to work the next day so nothing really come of the night besides her telling me this. From the point where she told me this till now, she has treated me differently. Some days she is very flirty with me, but other days she acts like she had a chafe of heart and treats me like just a friend with no potential of dating.

It's long. Reddit you are my only hope tonight. Forgive my hasty typing but I have had litter box house trained rabbits and know that setting a good precedent is important from the get-go. I got the ferrets two hours ago from a friend, getting rid of them because her boyfriend hated them. She seemed to have good intentions, however she didn't know shit about ferrets. Just like me. I know unspayed females can go into heat and it can cause a disorder that kills them. I asked if she'd spayed the female due to this and she laughed at me, said no, and told me she'd never heard of such a thing. Am I wrong? I'm flustered. Here are the facts: The female is a white black eyed unspayed baby (less than a year old) The male is a "regular?" adult one. 2 years old? She said he is unscented. They need baths. They are friendly. I want them to have free range of my basement and use a litterbox like my rabbits used to. I want to know how to train them. I like ferrets, I always wanted one, but everyone said "They stink" or thought they were creepy. I think they are cool... Their cage was disgusting. I took it apart and put it in my shower and cleaned it. It's drying. The ferrets are running around in my empty guest bedroom. I gave them some toys and a blanket, and put a litterbox in two corners, (at first I put only one box in but found a ferret poo in the opposite corner?) and put out food and water. Please can you tell me what I need to know about getting along with these two critters? They also need baths but I have never bathed anything but a dog. I know I need to take them to a vet but I live in rural Wyoming and that is just not on option until next month. Rural Wyoming knows little to none about ferrets. Thanks for your help ferret lovers of reddit. TL;DR: . Assistant:

And it has so far, I am very pleased with the results but I had some questions regarding calories and exercise. I'm a 40 year old male, around 5'6" and at 178 pounds right now. I've been using myfitnesspal to track my calories and am currently set on 1500 calories and get little to no exercise. Both MFP and [this calculator] have me in that calorie range. My question pertains to exercise. I don't generally do much of anything other than hockey once a week. I was going to start doing more but wasn't sure how exercise affects my calories. Lets say for example, I am taking in 1500 calories a day. If I do some sort of exercise that burns 200 calories, should I be eating another 200 calories in food to compensate? When I've played hockey I haven't bothered adjusting anything but now that I want to start adding more exercise I want to make sure I am doing things properly since it's been going so well. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Do I need to eat more food to make up calories if I have been exercising since my calorie limits have me as little/no exercise.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/tifu TITLE: TIFU by trying on condoms POST: After dealing with the embarrassment of buying condoms, naturally, I tried one on to see if it was the right size. So I was sitting on my bed, door closed, ears open in case my mom were to come in. Lucky for me they were a perfect fit. Just then I hear footsteps coming through the hall, I'm prepared for this. Fast as lightning; got the condom off, into it's wrapper, in the nearby bin, tucked and zipped my manhood back in, put the test condom on the bottom of the trash out of sight, straight up ninja. They were just passing by my room to go downstairs but it doesn't hurt to be careful. I put one in a side pocket of my wallet and carried on with my day. Later that day, my best friend, his girlfriend, and a particularly attractive French foreign exchange student that was staying at her house, had gone go-karting and then to a nearby restaurant to eat. After a little while I needed to use the bathroom, I get up and go. I step into a stall, unzip and begin to answer the call of nature. To my dismay, I had forgotten to wipe the lubricant residue after trying on the condom. So my stream split into four; of which, none of them went forward. It hit my shoe, my hand, my pants, and the floor. Immediate panic pinch. I grab nearby tp and wipe myself and my surroundings, and assess the damage, nothing major thankfully. I figure she won't notice my shoes but I had to do something about the spot on my pants. There is a hand dryer and towel dispenser combo on the wall, so I used both at the same time. So I'm leaning there, crotch out forward with one hand funneling air and making sure the blow dryer stayed on and the other holding a paper towel to help dry. Just my fucking luck, another dude walks in, sees me, pauses and continues into the stalls. I just want this day to end. I figure the spot is relatively gone, I was up and leave. Nobody noticed a thing, well apart from that one guy. Happy birthday to me. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I tried on condoms and didn't wipe off afterwards, ended up pissing on myself. Which lead to an awkward meeting in the bathroom.

I'm pretty sure it was the right thing to do. Not sure if it was fixable or not. But i always feel like it couldve been. I guess that is what really messes me up. it was in an earlier post if you want the details It sucks cause i've been going out alot, having great times, talking to new women, reconnecting with old friends and just pretty much forget everything else that has happened. But still even after all of this i can't stop thinking about her. I already know the basic advice im going to get. And yea i have done it. Don't have her on any social media, there is zero contact, threw out everything of hers, waited and waited, and i am still feeling like crap. Does anyone have any other advice on how to handle this. I was inlove and I had to break it off. Even though i didnt really want to, i just had to cause it wasn't healthy. Maybe it's cause im at all time low in confidence, i keep myself busy but still get a little free time now and then and she pops up, maybe its cause i havent gotten any other womens attention. and the ones i have, have not come close to her on looks. Not to be shallow but i would like another good looking girl thats all over me and begging for me back. It just makes me think that i mightve messed up. I just need somethoughts and advice.

POST: Couple of my friends were planning on going to a holiday for a week and they asked me if I am 100% certain and I kept saying yes. My dad is supportive but mom is really scary about everything and kept saying no but then she said I'll think about it. So yesterday I had to tell one of the friends that was organizing the thing if I'm 100% confirmed, but that "i'll think about it" turned out to be a no. She just spills reason after reason after reason for me not to go and it pisses me off. I had to tell the guy i probably wont make it and he sounded as disappointing as me. I am pissed off because i feel embarrassed, everybody is letting the other guys go but not me. Sure they are one or two years older but its not that big of a difference. And now if I am not going the group will be probably smaller than expected because couple of other guys also can't make it due to different reasons. I kept telling my self I will go to this no matter what, and I probably can despite moms will but I know this will make things worse and I will basically be coming home to a battlefield if it happens. I am so stressed and pissed off right now I feel like breaking everything around me. I am certainty not going to be talking to my mother for the foreseeable future. I'm just thinking what to tell the other guys who plan on going (if they are even gonna be going, because as I said a lot of people backed out and with me too I dont know whats gonna happen) so I don't look like a fool.

Recently I moved near her for college and she seems to want all of my free time. POST: We've been together since middle school, and through hell and back during our 4 long distance years, but now that I moved back to where she lives I don't feel like I can do things on my own without her being mad at me. She works most week nights, so we have 3 or 4 days a week where we can see each other, so on nights where we aren't together we'll talk on the phone. This is usually awesome. I'll go outside and walk around and talk to her or just chill in my room. Lately she's become increasingly upset when I have to hang up and go to bed, or shower, really any reason I need to stop our phone conversation. I've started making up things I need to do just so I can relax before going to bed. Occasionally she'll call back later and I'll talk for 5 minutes and say goodnight, but if I don't answer she'll call like 15 times. It's starting to cut into my sleep and any other social interactions I have. If there's ever a day she's free and I have something scheduled I end up just feeling guilty. I love her to death, and I really do have a great time whenever I'm with her, but when I don't want to talk or I'm busy I don't feel like I can tell her that I'm being smothered or that I just need some alone time without really hurting her feelings.

POST: I am eight years older than my brother, I'm in my mid twenties and he's just a teenager, but recently he has been getting picked on a lot in school. He's always been a really strict rule follower and if kids tried to cheat or skip class he would tell them not to, and I'm assuming he would tell the teacher. I'm not sure if it's because he has a learning disability, but he has had a hard time realizing that he is losing friends because of it. He has started getting picked on because of his height and weight even though he is quite skinny. To try and help him feel more comfortable in his own skin I've been helping him eat better and start weight lifting (I have a bachelor's of science in exercise physiology and a minor in nutrition). While he's become more confident physically, he still struggles making friends and understanding how to fit in. I've had him come with me to social activities, but there is only so much I can do because of the age gap. Sorry that this is such a long brick of text. But TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My girlfriend [18F] of 2 years can't handle me [19M] because she's all I have. POST: So.. Over the past three days my gf has been having a bit of a breakdown. It started off because of too much negativity which I will admit to, I've frankly been an asshole quite frequently. Complaining, calling her things. And I've just been blind to it, mostly due to stress and financial troubles. But the second day it wasn't about that at all, she brings up how she wants more friends. This is important because she didn't use to, but now she's found some people she feels comfortable around. At first this rubbed me the wrong way because I thought "why does she need this now when before I've brought all the happiness she ever needed" but of course I admit that she can have friends, I'm just taken off guard. Today it was that because I have little to no life or reason to live without her, it's a problem. She feels that she can't be who she wants to be because I'd sit at home wishing we could've had that time together instead, even though I tell her that I'd be fine with it, wouldn't take it out on her and find things to do. But it's not good enough. I'm willing to change anything and everything to make her happy and make her stay with me, but all I get is that it's too late, not enough.. She's always known that I was at the lowest of the low, and on the brink of ending it when we met. She's known that without her, I can't be happy, and I wouldn't be able to function, so essentially being forced to off myself. And I don't use this to try and guilt trip her, but she knows that's how pathetic I am.. because I truly cannot be happy without her. But at one point we both felt that way for each other, and she adored that she was everything to me. The situation now is that she has stated it's over. But I keep hoping she'll reconsider, at least give me a chance to see if it can work. TL;DR: . Assistant:

I hope I'm allowed to post this here, if else I'll move it to relationships. My body type is ectomorphs, which is useful for long distant running and such. I used to weight 58.5KG, at a height of 183 CM. I've always wanted to try and gain a bit more kilos, but failed many times. I want to be able to take off my shirt at the beach, I want to be able to play soccer without flying away and all the other activities. Tired of the skinny guy problems I decided to change by hitting the GYM and eating more. But now that change is finally starting to come to realization, my parents are slowly discouraging me to continue and are advising me to stop. I went from 58.5KG to 64.6KG in a few months, and I'm very proud of my result. But my parents believe that my weight should stay at 64.6KG, and not increase to around 75KG (my goal). They believe that my knees and ankles won't be able to hold it out, and when I get old I won't be able to walk properly anymore. Another believe is that ''Lifting is damaging your body because you're an ectomorph'', which frustates me... because there are plenty of other ectomorphs out there and are doing fine, right? Another reasoning they told me is that, even though I work hard now it wont matter because when I turn older I wont have control of my body and I will suddenly get fat or skinny and thus making exercising now useless. Are my parents right, is excising really damaging my body and will I regret doing it in the future? Or are they still used to seeing the skinny skeleton me, and they don't like change, which is what I tend to believe more but I'm doubting myself. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskDocs TITLE: 19/M Landed on big right toe while playing sport POST: First post ever so... Skip to last 2 paragraphs if you don't want to read so much So I am a 19 year old male weighing in around 140 pounds with a height of 5' 10", and recently I hurt my toe while playing soccer tennis (tennis with a soccer ball, lol); what happened was that I kicked the ball with a high kick and then landed a bit awkwardly and with most of my weight on my right big toe. At first I could not bend my toe and it had begun to swell, next day it had swollen but no bruising, bruising appeared on the next day (mostly on the top had expected the bruising to be on the bottom of the toe), and on the 4th day bruising has disappeared but it was still swollen and basically unmovable/frozen. After visiting the doctor on the third day I was informed that it was very likely sprained and/or broken/fractured but have not taken an x-ray because of laziness. At the end of the fourth day I had begun getting very curious as to why I still could not bend my toe so I started bending it and twisting it with my hands, after twisting it hard enough clockwise I heard a loud pop and regained most movement of the toe, and am now curious if it was sprained/fractured to begin with. So I guess my question is "Why was my toe locked in position after landing on it awkwardly, and if I am able to move it freely with very slight pain is it sprained at all?" Most things I search on google about "locked Toes" come back with Hallux Rigidus which I am pretty sure is more of an arthritis type of thing and isn't caused by injuries. I will probably get it x-rayed tommorow... probably TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: Just to clear things up, we're both Freshmen in highschool going into Sophomore year. Hello r/relationships. Thanks for reading my question. It's currently midnight, and I can't stop thinking about this girl. Let's start the conversation off with this: I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety issues at a very, very young age. Even though these have been plaguing my childhood, I think it's getting a little better. However, even with these problems coming off my back, I'm still very insecure about my appearance, my status, and how I act. Anyways, there's this girl at my school who is everything I can ever dream of, we're both in the chorus and drama departments at school, and we share similar interests, and are both pretty talented in music (not trying to brag :p). She's almost my best friend, and whenever I text her little questions trying to start up conversations, she's always enthusiastic and tries to make me happy with her responses. It's that time where I finally start thinking of maybe being in a relationship with her, and graduating while still being with her. But, the problem is I'm too anxious and insecure to ask her in person. I love her so much, and I want to spend these next three years with her. I've tried every dating advice column, and every tutorial, and none of them seem to be right for my personality. I need your help, reddit. Please. Thanks, Jack <3 TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: I live several states away. My aunt and brother are pressuring me to call my mother after she went to the hospital to have surgery for a callapsed lung and finds out she has lung cancer. Background: My mother abandoned my brother and me repeatedly beginning when I was eight. We both have different fathers, neither of which were there to take care of us. We also had to deal with several of my mother's abusive boyfriends. We were very poor. Once my mother and I lived in a womens' shelter. I haven't lived with my her since I was 13. At this time she was in and out of jail and abusive men. My brother could barely pay rent for himself so my aunt reluctantly took care of me until I was 18 when she kicked me out. (I believe she blames me for her divorce as her husband did NOT want me to live with them.) I haven't really spoken to my aunt or my brother since moving from the state. I am friendly on Facebook, and I call my brother maybe two or three times a year. I even accepted my mother's FB request. I thought letting her view my pictures and such was a nice gesture, but she messages me often to talk although I have never replied. I'm beginning to think this was a mistake, because ever since my brother won't stop telling me to call her. I am disturbed about the cancer as I would be disturbed by any person having cancer, but I'd rather not call. I fully expected to never talk to my mother again, but I'm afraid that if I don't my family won't forgive me. Even if I did call, what would I say? I have nothing to say.. I've invested years into not caring, and I feel there is no going back. My family won't understand this. So do I call my mother to satisfy my family? Or is my refusal justified? TL;DR: . Assistant:
My mother was a shitty mom, so I stopped talking to her years ago. Now she was cancer and I'm not sure what I should do.

POST: It was not a very serious relationship, only a couple months, with a second week long 'fling' a couple months after splitting. But, she is one of the most refreshing people I've come across in a while, I tend to be pretty picky and when this didnt work out I struggled with it a bit. Basically I realized I had feelings for her and she did not feel the same, I was doing pretty well with accepting the situation, disappointed and the expected ups and downs the weeks following but I was feeling surprisingly stable and ok, and had sorta even started seeing a new girl which was helping the process of moving on. Anyway, while we were together she gave me her password to various things, I honestly never made an effort to remember them or anything except one which was very easy to remember that is used for her pandora which I still use on my phone. I know it's not any excuse but it seems worth mentioning I was drunk. I was listening to pandora and it asked me to confirm the login, which I did. Then i wondered if that was the same login for her facebook. I tried it and it was. I've never been one to invade someones privacy like that, I dont know what I wanted to find or not find, new bf i suppose. I read a couple messages and foruntely she doesnt really use it for messaging and I avoided dealing myself any added mental anguish. I knew what I was doing but i guess I was just riding the impulse to see what i could know. After logging out I couldnt believe I did that, my heart was racing and couldnt sleep after. This morning I feel extremely ashamed for doing that to her, I am a 30 year old man and am too old to be playing these types of games with myself. I'm just feeling really awful about myself over it. Not to mention its taken me 12 steps backward in my moving on. Part of me wants to tell her I did that, and tell her to change the password. TL;DR: . Assistant:

A lot. so about 2 and a half years ago I decided I was sick of relationships and girls, I started focusing on my life goals and what not but over these few years I have been telling myself that relationships are a horrible thing and I just want to be alone and it was working, I am happy being single and don't want it any other way. This is where it gets confusing though. I met this girl [20F] Saturday night and it turns out we have loads in common, we were talking to each other a lot and got quite close, like arms around each other and stuff, I should point out we were both drunk but we were having a really good time in each other's company. I was told at one point that she was in a relationship, which I'm fine with because I don't want a relationship yet I felt really close to her that night. Nothing else happened and I have spoken to her since then and while we weren't all over each other she was hugging me and showed interest in me. This is the issue though, there is a part of me feeling attracted to her and wanting to see her, I'm thinking about her a bit and generic 'crush' behaviour but the other part of me wants to keep my peace and quiet lifestyle and I keep telling myself that girls are bad news but I'm tearing myself apart over this small attraction to a girl I hardly know. I'm angry at myself for being close to a girl while drunk when I knew she was in a relationship, I want to get closer to her, but I don't ever want to see her again just to restore peace to my life. This is so frustrating because I have no idea what I am feeling right now, but it is stopping me from sleeping, it's currently 2am and I need to be up at 7am to get to lectures. I need to restore peace in my mind so I can relax again and sleep. I just don't know, I'm in such a confused state right now. Any insights would be nice, just anything that could clear my head.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: If the record industry makes huge profits by taking advantage of the insecurities of teenagers/young adults, is it then in their best interest to keep these groups insecure? POST: Couldn't help but have the thought cross my mind while hearing a One Direction song on the radio. There seems to be three main messages prevalent on top 40 pop stations these days: The sexualization of women, the urge to party away your problems, and you are beautiful and perfect in every way. I would argue two of these messages are marketed towards a specific audience: Insecure teenagers/young adults. The urge to party away your problems provides an escape from insecurity. The message of "You are beautiful!" would never work on an audience, unless that audience needed reinsurance of their self worth. The third message works to generate the insecurities that make the other two messages effective. I think that the sexualization of women helps to instill insecurity, as obviously not all women fit that model. If I were to be told that a square jaw and blue eyes were the epitome of beauty and I did not have either, I would obviously feel worse about myself. And a song that suggested a way to forget this, or told me otherwise would be greatly appreciated. TL;DR: . Assistant:
The music industry is both generating and feeding off of the insecurity of it's audience, from what I have seen. Is this planned? Or is it just happy circumstance?

POST: Hey folks, I'll cut right to the chase here. For the last ~5 months, I've been working for a guy who pays me an hourly rate and he writes me a check every two weeks. No tax forms filled out, nothing on the books - the plan is to do 1099 for now. He's in the process of building a business and there's an open dialogue about making me an official employee (W2s and all that fun stuff) and I'm not too concerned about that. I also do side work when I can: I'm a charter boat captain and mainly work for one small company. Again, no forms, just a hand-written check, but in this case there's been no talk of how to handle taxes and whatnot. The owner seems to have his own system, and I frankly don't want to be an employee because it keeps me a little more free. That said, an audit wouldn't bode well for me. On top of all this, I also do occasional (6-10 hours/week) charters for a rental company, and in this case the renter pays me cash directly (the rental company's way of being uninvolved in the transaction). What I'd like to do is get all the proper licenses to have a business under my name and record everything as income for the business - so far I've got a San Diego county business tax certificate, but I know there's more to it than that. Then I'd put all my cash earnings - fully claimed - into their own account and pay my taxes from those funds. Does anyone have some insight how I might do that in San Diego? I'm not too sure what my income for the year will be, as I'm just starting out in this venture, but a rough estimate would be around $50k. Thank you so much for any input - I hope this wasn't too wordy, just wanted to make sure the right info got in here.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Is it normal for M(21) and F(20) to approach future plans hesitantly? POST: Reddit, I've M(21) been with my GF F(20) for about 3 months now (dating for another 2 before hand) and we're perfectly happy together. No fights, arguments, ect. The issue is this, whenever either of us bring up an event that would be in the distant future we both make the concious effort to first say, "assuming we're still together..." before saying the event.... For example: My girlfriends birthday is next year, she wants to go to Vegas (totally down), but before she started to bring up the idea she said, "So for my 21st birthday, I think it would be awesome to go to Vegas! *insert momentary pause* Not saying we're going to break up, but assuming we're still together it would be so much fun if we went with a bunch of people... (and so on)" I tend to do the same thing, when bringing up a future event, ill kind of throw in the fact that "We'll cross that bridge when we get there but it would be awesome if next year we... (blah blah blah)." Is that normal? Or does the fact we consciously entertain the idea that we COULD eventually break up mean that there's something inherently wrong in the relationship? I feel like normally people dont even have the thought of "possible break up in the future" in their heads. I realize the relationship is also young in its maturity, but never the less the question still stands. Thanks in advance reddit. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Girlfriend and I make it a point to mention that we may or may not still be together in the future before making plans for a future event... is that normal?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Weird situation. GF [23F] is upset with me [23M] for playing with a cursed video game controller. POST: I really don't know where to begin here. My girlfriend and I both live with her parents in order to save money and pay off our student loans faster, but we both work and I think we do the whole adulting thing pretty well. My girlfriend is NOT a superstitious person. She does not believe in ghosts or anything paranormal and is a highly rational person about everything except this. A couple of weeks ago we were rooting around in the attic and we found her old Playstation 2 in a big box with all its games and accessories. Score. We set everything up and gamed the night away. It's important to note that there were three controllers, two that we used and a third one that was kept in a separate box that was taped shut. I asked her about it and she said "We don't play with that one. It's cursed." Apparently when she was a kid she noticed a pattern of friends and family members getting into car accidents shortly after she would play a game with the controller. After her uncle was in a fatal accident (he didn't die, but the driver of the other car did) she put away the controller for good. Like I said, my girlfriend is a very rational person who does not believe in anything supernatural. She even sounded like she was half-joking/embarrassed about it so I didn't think it was that serious. That weekend I invited a friend over to hang out and we decided to play some Playstation. Some buttons on one of the ""uncursed"" controllers were sticking and making it hard to play, so I swapped it out with the ""cursed"" controller and let my friend play with it instead. I honestly thought it was not a big deal and that my gf understood that the whole curse thing was just an irrational thing from her childhood. But she was actually kind of upset when she got home and saw it plugged in. She's boxed up the TL;DR: . Assistant:
Non-superstitious gf is superstitious about a game controller, which I used. Now acting weirder about it than is warranted since (I think?) we both know there is not really a curse.

Lately, it seems like he's babying me and it makes me feel like he thinks I'm stupid. A lot of the time, it has to do with my car. I'll say something to him about something that's wrong (power steering is messed up right now, for example), and he'll tell me all these things about how dangerous it is and how I need to take it to a mechanic, and that he can do it for me at this time, blah blah blah. Another thing is with school. If I miss a class, he'll be sure to tell me to email the Professor... like I don't already know that... And with work. I haven't been getting many hours, and I was complaining to him, and he keeps telling me to threaten to quit if they don't give me more hours, etc. I'm getting pretty annoyed. I'm not stupid. I can take care of myself. Maybe it's just his way of showing he cares, but it's making me feel like he thinks I'm dumb or something... I don't know. Any advice on how to get him to stop?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationship_advice TITLE: My boyfriend [25/m] says I [22/f] shouldn't lecture him? POST: My boyfriend is three years older than me, and overall, he's very mature and intelligent. But sometimes, he acts like a child. I love him and care about him, so when I think he didn't do something right, I feel the need/obligation to tell him about it. If I didn't care about him, I wouldn't waste my breath. Today, he went to his tattoo artist to finish his half-sleeve tattoo. The tattoo artist is well-respected and the tattoo looks amazing. BUT he never even asked how much it would cost. The tattoo artist charged him $450 for the first session, and another $350 for today's session. I'm not saying the tattoo itself cost too much, because I know good tattoos are costly (and you should never go cheap on a tattoo). He's angry because I lectured him like he's a child, and because it's his money, not mine. But that's not even the point. The point is, it's fine that he charges $100/hour, but he still should've asked during the consultation (or when he was working on him). What if the tattoo artist, or some other person in the future, decides to rip him off? I know he's a grown adult, and I know he can take care of himself, but I still feel the need to express my feelings. Is that wrong? We're very close and comfortable with each other, and we always talk about everything... so I should just keep to myself and watch him make "stupid" decision? TL;DR: . Assistant:
I feel the need to voice my concerns when he does something stupid, but he thinks I shouldn't lecture him like a child.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: What does it mean when a guy doesn't really reply back to you? POST: I met this guy online about a little over a month ago. I'm 19 and he's 26. We hit it off immediately, especially after figuring out that we come from the same background and religion. We talked for some time before meeting up in person, and during the entire duration of speaking he never mentioned anything sexual, but was being very nice and interested. After we met up the first time, we hit it off amazingly in person, and later in the night there were some sexual activities that occurred (besides actual sex). The week after, he came over to my place and we actually did it, and we went on a third date recently and things were going really well. Every time after we'd meet up, he'd text me telling me he had a great time, and that we should plan something else soon. But in between the periods of where we meet in person, he hardly replies back to my texts (once about 6-10 hours). Once he finally does, he gives a nice long reply/somewhat flirty reply, but the fact that he barely replies but in person seems to have a great time with me and always wants to make plans confuses me as to where his head is at. Also, if I ever don't reply to his text, he texts back a day or two later asking how I am etc. I'm just confused as to what this guy may want, whether it's just something short term or long term. Also, the fact that he ignores my texts so much inevitably makes ME think about him more than i'd like to, but do you guys have any advice as to what I should be doing? Thanks in advance. TL;DR: .

The few times I've passed her I've chickened out because I didn't know what to say. Next time I want to go for it and I want to say something along the lines of "Hey I've seen you around a couple of times and I think you're really pretty so I wanted to introduce myself 'intro here' and I was wondering if I could get your number?" The only thing is that I dunno if it's too forward to ask her for her number right away or if that's normal. I'd make small talk but whenever I see her she looks like she's headed somewhere and I can't just interrupt her with small talk. Also sometimes I've heard it's better to give her yours instead of asking but I dunno if carrying around my number on a slip of paper specifically for her would be weird, and also I've heard other people say that giving the girl your number makes you look wimpy/like you're begging.

It was the best relationship I ever had. However, he started to get very distant. While he was extremely affectionate and sexually active, now it's completely gone. I've asked him what's wrong and he said nothing's wrong. He's not stressed or depressed. Everything was just fine. A couple nights ago, I had a breakdown over a personal incident and he just looked me and eventually left the room without saying anything. He just didn't do anything and just went to bed like it didn't even happen. The next morning, I was already stressed about that personal incident and stressed about his atitude that I full on sat him and down and told him that I felt that he is very uninterested in our relationship as of late and I'm wondering why he was still in it if he didn't feel the same way. He finally said that he doesn't know what he wants anymore and that he's sorry that he hasn't treated me well lately but he doesn't know what to do. And then he said I have to think about the reasons why I'm still in this relationship. I nodded and left and have made the decision to give him space until he decides to contact me with whatever he says. But I'm no idiot. That response looks like a huge hint to breaking up but should I give him space and wait for his response or should I just break it off now? Has anyone had any good experiences like this? TL;DR: .

I mean yeah the guy makes me angry and tense, but I didn't hear that. But more than that it shows me that my wife actually seems to like me being mad or jealous about this. I didn't know that.

I told her many times that I usually don't like talking on my phone that much but she kept calling me two to three times a day. So one day she couldn't hear me, no idea why. I tried sending voicemails and other stuff but it seemed like my microphone was broken and i told her that. Later that day I just tried restarting my phone and everything worked again, thing is, I never told her that. I lied to her and said something about a repair that would cost 60€ and I didn't want to spend my money for that. Fast forward a few weeks, She asked me out on a date. I've never seen her as a potential girlfriend but decided to meet her anyways just so see how it goes. So the date was going meh, and when she went to see the toilet I wrote my friend a message that he should call me about an importent appointment I forgot to get myself out of this date a quickly as possible. She came back and two minutes later I recieved the call from my friend. Afte I exchanged some words with my friend, I realized what I just did. The girl looked at me as if I just killed somebody. At this point, I knew there was no going back. I lied to her because I didn't want to spend time talking to her and she knew that now too. She looked pretty angry, ran out of the restaurant and I haven't heard anything from her since. Needlesly to say, I'm not going to see her again. TL;DR: . Assistant:

When have you been the victim of political correctness? POST: I'll try to make a long story as short as possible. I attend a large university situated in a major city in the Northeastern U.S. One day I was sitting in the office of a student group related to my major, and I mentioned off hand that I was really frustrated with one of my professors, who is Chinese and has, at best, a mediocre grasp of the English language. I didn't care that he is Chinese - I just couldn't understand the guy. I then merely stated that while I absolutely don't mind having foreign professors, Chinese or otherwise, if someone does come to the United States to teach American students, then they do need to speak decent English. So a month passes, and I am in the same building to see a professor when I run into the faculty adviser for the organization. She angrily informed me that she received a complaint that I was making "racial comments towards Asian people" and that such behavior was completely unacceptable. She further informed me that we would have to have a "serious talk". It has been a month now, and despite trying to get in touch with her again, neither she nor any of the organization's officers have talked with me about the issue. As a matter of fact, nobody has spoken a word to me at all, so I have essentially been kicked out of that organization. This is enormously frustrating, because I am *anything* but a racist - it is not how my parents raised me. Furthermore, I feel that their response to all of this has been totally unprofessional. All over what I feel is an extreme sense of political correctness... TL;DR: . Assistant:

Pretty sure he (24/m) liked me (24/f) POST: So I do bar promotions and I was working one night when I ran into a friend of my ex-boyfriend. He asked me to hang out with him after my shift. We talked, we danced, we drank, and we kissed at the end of the night. Given he said "it feels wrong," but he still kept his hands around me. We exchanged numbers. He texted me two weeks later and we got together with my (not mutual) friends. This time he kept his hands to himself. We talked a lot and the flow of the night felt good. We hung out and talked some more. We've been friends for over a month now. While I was with my ex-boyfriend, we never communicated. Pretty sure I only saw him once or twice. Today, I worked another promotion and he came to see me . He came alone, ordered a drink, and waited for my shift to be over. We took one of the bottles and laid around in the woods. I really like him by now. Im obsessed with when we're hanging out next. I brought up a talk about my feelings. He said I'm a really nice gal, but I'm also the ex-girlfriend of one of his really good friends and that he doesn't want to cause problems and if roles were revered, he wouldn't want his friend with his ex-girlfriend. Which is a totally fair response. I didn't know what to really say. So I just dropped the topic. Did I misread signs? He seemed into me. Or maybe I was too hopeful? Is all hope lost? Background: ex-boyfriend and I have been together for 3.5 years. It was a good relationship, but not the best. He cheated on me 3 times. All about a year apart. Ofcourse his friend wouldn't know that. He even girlfriended the last side chick according to facebook. So I'm sure he wouldn't even care. TL;DR: . Assistant:

This is my first post on here so bear with me! I [F18] have been seeing my [M18] boyfriend for 3 years now. We have just started college together, at the same school. We do not live together, but do stay at each other's houses sometimes. We have always had an amazing relationship, hardly any fights, lots of laughs, and never any reason not to trust. My previous boyfriend did cheat on me, but this has never affected our relationship previously. Lately, however, I have been getting jealous over the people he has been meeting/talking to. He has acquired some phone numbers from girls, just as friends, but it bothers me for some reason. Any time we don't get to talk or see each other for a little while I start to feel like he is going to break up with me. I just get extremely nervous that he's going to move on in college now that he's meeting all of these new women. The problem here is that he hasn't done anything to make me feel this way. He always reassures me, as we have a very communicative relationship I do tell him that I'm having these thoughts. I imagine that this is some type of insecurity on my part, but I've never had it before so I am wondering why it has happened and how to stop it. I am reaching out on here for some help to stop feeling this way, because it sucks for me and I know it will begin to annoy him eventually. I just don't know what to do. Please help, I am willing to hear anything! Thank you!! P.s. Yes, I know we are still young, but that doesn't mean we aren't in love. :) TL;DR: . Assistant:

I want to be one of those people that when he walks up to a crowd of familiar people, they're all excited to see. Last semester and now this year, I've been trying to befriend a good amount of people that I see regularly at this hangout spot at school. I already have some people I can hang out with, but I don't really connect with them like I do with friends from back home. Anyway, these kids at this hangout spot all know my name and we talk when we see each other, but I can't seem to break into their social circle and achieve a status where I'm someone they call to make plans with. I know the semester is just beginning, but it doesn't seem like anythings changing, or will change. Additionally, I get the feeling that I'm doing something wrong with girls. I'm not half bad looking, and am a nice person (not nice guy) yet i'm not sure if they have any interest in me. Over the summer my friend would have anywhere from 5-15 people over almost every weekend, and the girls always paid more attention to my other friends. I guess there could be many factors as to why it was like that, but I can't help but think it's me. I won't be in college too much longer, and I want to live up my time there to the fullest. The past 3 years weren't well spent, especially the first. So I need to make up for lost time. My school doesn't have a great party scene either. The big parties are at houses that are occupied by sport teams, and in order to get in you need to be a girl, or you usually need to know someone on the team. Which I don't. Oh, and no interesting clubs either. TL;DR: . Assistant:

While that's typically not a great degree in this economy or this area, I've been employed by a very well-known and respected ad agency for a little over six months now. My internship in college was in NYC with one of the big TV news outlets. Not trying to be cocky, but I have a good resume for being a year out of school and I'm really, really trying to preserve it. I'm extremely thankful for being employed. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate where I'm at when I see so many on this subreddit suffering in unemployment. But I'm genuinely unhappy. I find advertising to be wholly unrewarding, soul-crushing and morally bankrupt. I sell unhappiness and consumerism for a living in a high-stress, low-pay environment and it's starting to affect who I am outside of work. When I first graduated I was trying to get back to NYC where I'd done my internship and now I'm really considering giving it a try once again. However, I've only been at this job for a little over 6 months and I'm worried that 1) it's going to make me look like a job jumper and 2) nobody will take me seriously.

Ever since then she's been sending me things about how people who love eachother work through their problems together and this isn't right she doesnt understand.

We went back and forth quite a bit with him not really giving anything solid about why he supports her and me giving examples of why she is bat shit crazy and quoting some of the stupid things that she has said. The last few text where it seemed we weren't getting anywhere: Him: It's your opinion, I don't agree with it. Me: And that's fine we are entitled to our opinions your opinion seems baseless and I thought I would hear something that I may have overlooked or not seen before on this subject but it just shows how some people accept things blindly without really knowing. Him: I'm fine with that Me: Yeah that's fine whatever That last one was sent an hr ago and no reply back from him. I think this may be the end of it but I just think it's silly and wanted to see what others thought. The weird thing is, I don't care about politics and normally don't even get into it with people, I don't really identify with republican or democrat. He has said the same thing that he is neither republican nor democrat but uses the word the "left" in a way that he views them as differently than to himself. So I think his views are more to the right. He is the first person that I have ever come across that has defended her. So anyways, is something like this a deal breaker for people? I don't think he is going to reply to my text, should I say something to him even though I feel kinda strongly about this? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Different political views specifically on Sarah Palin, I hate her, he "respects" her. Heated argument via text and now he is not speaking to me.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/personalfinance TITLE: [Education] I need help choosing my transfer university for my Bachelors in Accounting. POST: This is a fairly straight forward problem I am having, but I am having difficulty deciding the correct course of action. I started going to community college two and a half years ago to get my basics complete to transfer to a 4-year-school. I knew from the beginning that accounting was going to be my major. It provides job stability, decent pay, and I won't have to move to find a job. However, about a year ago I fell in love with the idea of becoming a forensic/fraud accountant. I kind of liked the idea of working for government in the FBI or IRS and helping them fight white collar crime. Why is this a problem? The only school that is in my geographic area that gives a degree in fraud accounting is a private school. The school costs ~$24,000/year in tuition and fees. Because of the extra classes I have to take for this degree it will tack on at least an extra semester, bringing the total costs to $60k. I have transfer scholarships that will cover $21k of that bringing the cost down to $49k. That isn't even counting books, not to mention the $900 CPA exam and $3000 CPA study guide I will most likely need to purchase. On the other hand, I can enroll in a state school that will cost $9k a year and give me a transfer scholarship of $4k. I can easily make up the difference in other scholarships and only have to take out very small student loans to cover the remaining balance. They don't offer fraud accounting, but it is a decent school, and I would be okay with going there. Is this just a no-brainer? Am I crazy for even considering getting myself into so much debt for a degree like this? What do you all think? I really need some perspective. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Private uni offers fraud accounting degree I would love to do, but costs $49k after scholarships for 2.5 semesters. State school offers regular accounting degree for $8k.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [20F] with my boyfriend [20 M] of 1.5 months, treats me like a friend. POST: Throwaway because he knows my other account. I have recently started dating a guy from my friendship group that I have known close to ten years now. I've had a crush on him for the last couple of months and he said that he felt the same and asked me out. The first couple of days I was really happy because finally it happened. He's sweet and nice and adorable and geeky and handsome, but the problem is that he keeps treating me like he did before. We've been dating for 1.5 months and he hasn't held my hand or tried to kiss me. I don't even get hugs. When we hang out, the whole friendship group is usually with us (~9 people) and while we do sit next to each other we don't touch. And I'm pretty sure that he hasn't told anyone we're dating. When I try to hold his hand, it's like he thinks I knocked my hand into his on accident and he apologies to me for some reason. I just feel stupid every time I'm around him because I don't know how to bring it up or if I even have a reason to be concerned. Also, if I don't start a conversation with him, we never talk. I'm ALWAYS the one to text first and ask a question about how his day has been. I thought that was actually weird and wanted to see if he would contact me first, so I didn't message him on Saturday. So far, he hasn't written anything, hasn't called me, and hasn't tried to contact me in any way. That is 5 days without talking to him so far. Do I even still have a boyfriend? I feel like he doesn't really care. I was talking to my best friend about this the other day, and she suggested that he might not be into me as much as he said. What do you think, Reddit? How can I bring this up when I talk to him? Should I even bring it up? TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: This past weekend I was going to drop my boyfriend at his class, while I was backing out of his parking and actually bumped a car behind me. It was raining cats and dogs so I hopped out of the car, checked for damage and didn't see any so I got back in my car and drove my boyfriend to his class, figuring I'd leave my information when I got back just in case. It had stopped raining by the time I got back and so I left my information under his windshield wipe and headed back to my university which is about 2 hours from my boyfriends. It apparently began raining extremely hard again and my boyfriend reports that the paper I left my information on is waterlogged and destroyed and that there might have been a dent that I didn't notice in the rain. What should I do here Reddit. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/self TITLE: I have an urge to kill one of my cats. POST: We have 2 cats. One is a fantastic indoor cat. The other one is lives outside. This cat was a gift from a friend who got it from a shelter. It was injured and overall nasty. No big deal, we took it to the vet and nursed it back to health. This is where the weird stuff starts. The cat did nothing but sit behind the toilet and shit on the floor. We tried to teach it to use a litter box but it would just go back to pooping and peeing on the floor. Then it got violent. It started hissing and jumping at the kids when they would go into the bathroom. The climax was when it attacked a child while she was just playing video games and ignoring the cat. The cat ran to her and started scratching and hissing at her. I threw it outside. This cat now just sits on the deck looking in the window and meows until we feed it. After feeding it leaves for a few minutes and starts the meowing again. More compassionate people than I have let the cat inside but it immediately stands at the door and meows to go back outside. I feel an irrational amount of resentment for this cat to the point of wanting to put it down. It has seemingly no redeemable qualities and has caused much damage to our house as well as attacking the children. If I were alone I would have done it already. I still may. TL;DR: . Assistant:
My cat ruined the carpet, scratched my children, and meows incessantly after I saved its life. Now I honestly want to end its life.

I'm posting this for a friend since she has no idea how to use Reddit, and my advice was insufficient to get her to go through with this! Here we go: I work as a dental hygienist (30F). I had a (33M) patient last week that I felt I really clicked with conversationally. I was too chicken to pursue it at that moment. We live in the same building and discovered that we have a mutual friend. Should I just wait it out and hope to run into him, or take action, like sending him a message on Facebook? Keep in mind, I really am trying to keep the creep level to a minimum. Also, is this ethical considering that he was a patient of mine, but I technically "knew" him through a mutual friend? Thanks! TL;DR: . Assistant:

I know this probably isn't the right place for this post, so if there's a better place, I would be more than willing to move it. I just got back from my Ireland/UK trip yesterday, and the morning before I left I picked up a small gift for a friend of mine at a Cafe in Edinburgh. In my stupidity, I left it on the Airlink bus when I arrived at the airport. By the time I realized, I ran outside to find the bus closing its doors and pulling away. I chased that damn bus for as long as I could, but didn't stop. Normally, a small gift wouldn't matter, but not only was I really looking forward to giving this gift (It's a thank you for the person who gave me advice before traveling to Edinburgh) but it has now become personal, with me and that bus. I almost threw up after chasing that bus and I have never run that hard in my life. If some form of that gift does not make it to the States I will never let it go. I called the lost property number before my flight and sent a follow up email. The customer service was great and I spoke with a nice woman who seemed pretty sympathetic. I just got an email back, however, saying that nothing was turned in but they would check again on Monday. My question is, if anyone is currently in Edinburgh and who is planning on returning to the States soon would be willing to pick up something for me, and have it shipped once back in the States. I know it's kind of a long shot and way more trouble than it's worth, but it's kind of important to me. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I was stupid and forgot a gift on a bus to the airport. If anyone is there currently and planning on traveling back soon, would you be willing to pick something up and send it once in the States?

I'll see her nearly every day and well say hey and small talk for a bit before we go our separate ways. We have prom coming up A week or so ago I was just having another one of those nice short convos when her and I realised stuff I hadn't realised before. She had pretty blue eyes and lush blonde hair that I'd love to play with. So I delayed whatever I had and just talked to her. It was great! We had common interests and we really hit it off. Whenever I talk to a girl I like I really get nervous and I hadn't texted her before so it took me a while to balls up and text her for the first time. It was going really well! She was laughing and we were both having a great time. However abruptly out of nowhere she just stopped the texts. It was just a jolt. I don't make much of it. So next day (still haven't got a text back) I was just talking to my best friend about Lissa for the first time and he tells me my other friend had also been talking to her for a week and wants to go to prom with her. I'm just not sure what to do at this point. We were really hitting it off until the sudden cut off and my friend who is also interested in her has also been talking to her for a week. Do I go for her and ask her to prom in person; do I talk to my other interested friend? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/personalfinance TITLE: Outrageous TimeWarner charge got sent to collections, credit score dropped, about to apply for loans. What do I do? POST: Hi all, I'll try to keep this short. In 2014, TimeWarner tried to charge me $90 (which I genuinely owed them) but was incredibly stupid about how they went about trying to get it from me. I was a continuing customer, paying a monthly bill, but they never bothered to call or email me about the charge, which they ended up sending to a collection agency. After being contacted by the agency, I corrected the issue with TimeWarner. Seemingly issue resolved... Then, in the summer of 2015, I get more collections calls about the same debt. I investigate with TimeWarner, and apparently it was just an error in their system sending out the same debt. Caught it early, so no damage. Then today, I discover on CreditKarma that my score was hit (~800 -> ~750) and I had no idea why. Turns out that TW sent that was $90 debt to another agency in February, but that agency never bothered to contact me, so it actually ended up hitting my TransUnion report. Both TW and the agency were WAY less than helpful on the phone today, and I'll have to spend some more time with them tomorrow... but it will be resolved, at least in terms of me not having to pay. BUT, the real issue is that I'm about to go to Law School this fall, and I'm looking down the pipe of about $50k in private student loans that I need to apply for this summer (to cover the first year). I've still got decent credit, my parents will cosign, and I'm going to a great school with almost sure prospects of landing a BigLaw gig in NY, but still I'm worried that TW's incompetency is going to cost me $$$ down the road in higher interest rates. TL;DR: . Assistant:
TimeWarner fucked up and it's completely their fault (I have recorded them admitting to 100% fault on the phone), my credit was hurt, and I'm about to apply for a significant amount of student loans

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: I guess I just don't get it -- What's the benefit of Verizon's new Tiered Plans? POST: Frankly, I'm really hoping some Verizon person (preferably one who doesn't like their company very much) reads this and chimes in, but here goes: Some hijinks occurred, and I feel I recently got screwed by Verizon -- regardless of what their people tell me they can and cannot do, I think that there's some bullshit going on in terms of assigning contracts to lines. I hate being told that "we just can't do that" when SOMEONE had to design the bloody system. Also: I'm tied in a 1 1/2 year contract (I think) more or less. That's not my real point though; end of story is I've gone from having unlimited (5GB cap, realistically), to having a hellova bout of crappy luck I guess, and now have no data. For those who don't know, Verizon's tiers (per month) are: * Pay as you go, 1MB - $1.99* * 75MB - $10* * 2GB - $30 * 5GB - $50 * 10GB - $80 *Not smart-phone eligible ("feature-phone" only). --------- So let me get this straight: Verizon has "a lot of usage on their towers" (and more so now that they have 4G and the iPhone); but rather than upgrading their infrastructure, they're reducing what the customer gets. Fine, you can argue that back and forth. What I don't get is how this (and this is the argument that a Verizon rep straight up told me) is *better* for a consumer. They said "Well, your average person doesn't use 5GB, they don't even use 2GB" (and I have friends who have said something similar). That's fine in theory, to me that means LOWER THE PRICE FOR 2GB SO THE CUSTOMERS GET MORE FOR THEIR MONEY. Oh, you have 75MB for $10? Aside from that (and the pay-as-you-go) being LAUGHABLE prices for bandwidth, you CAN'T PUT A SMARTPHONE ON THEM?! TL;DR: . Assistant:
Majority of our customers (and lets face it, we're focused entirely on smartphones) don't use 2GB of data, so we'll make a tier targeting that concept, but make it so they can't use it."

It was about 1 in the morning and I was out with the boys. They were playing cards on our table at Steak & Shake while I watched. We order our meals. I was indecisive and so I told the waiter "1 of every slider!". He put down his pad and said "Really, dude?". I don't tolerate this kind of disrespect and saw it as a challenge. "Yes," I said, "All six, with cheese!" About 35 minutes pass and I've drank all my water. No refill would be given to me. The boys finished their meals and we're ready to leave. I said "Hold on fellas, let me eat! but they wanted to leave NOW. So I crammed the last 2 sliders, a buffalo and a frisco, right into my mouth and swalloed. However, they got caught in my throat. Having no drink I could not down them. My instincts kicked in and I projectile vomited onto the table, including on the man's tip. I got up and said to my buddies "We gotta get out of here, boys." They asked me why just as the waiter came to the table and began to gag. We ran. And since then the boys refuse to buy me lunch or even take me to lunch. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [20 M] at a crossroads between two girls, both [19 F] POST: I am a university student and have a decision to make between two girls, and as I see it, two different lives I could live. This first girl, named Victoria is studying music and is a very talented singer. Although I'm biased, I really think she'll be a famous singer one day. She has a rich family and they go on adventures to different countries every year and live on the wild side of things. We dated in high school a bit but things didn't work out because we where both immature and she didn't like commitment. She's interested in a relationship with me now however. There is also another girl, named Katrina, she is studying nursing. We have gone on a few dates but things aren't yet really committed. She's very sweet but and lacks a lot of self confidence, which I apparently help her with. She is quiet and churchgoing, and doesn't really like to be particularly social and prefers reading and watching flims, or going for a jog by herself. So my problem, who do I choose? I'm not counting on either of them lasting to marriage or whatever (not to say I would doubt it, just, I don't know), but I feel like by choosing, I'm choosing the kind of lifestyle I will end up living. Either one filled with adventure in which I will tour the world with super star singers and go mountain climbing in Russia or a life that is simple, and I fill it with my wife's company and we have a couple of kids and a nice house and not needing to go on massive adventures because we are content just with each other. I know I'm young, and that a lot more is to come, but this decision has a feeling about it like it will completely alter my entire future. If those of you experienced with life could tell me which opportunity they would take, I may be able to decide which path I should follow. Thanks TL;DR: . Assistant:
I need to decide between a girl that is destined to become a wonderful singer and have a life filled with adventure or a lovely girl that would lead me to a life filled with quiet content.

POST: So, long story short, about three weeks ago I was written a misdemeanor citation for possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia. This was after work and was not on property or anything. Anyways, fast forward three weeks to today and I am called into the office. My boss found out about it and I was given the option to either be fired or to resign. I obviously went with the latter. My question is, how should I approach this if asked about it in the future? My supervisor (not the same person as the boss that "fired" me) said that he'd still be willing to let me continue to use him as a reference. Him and I got along well and I was never a problem at work (in fact, I was quite the opposite) so I still think he will give me a good review if questioned. Anyways, I have a phone interview this Friday (thank god) and am just wondering how I should approach this problem. There's no way that they know about it and I'm sure they just think I'm still working there. Obviously I'm not going to bring it up but if they ask me about my work there, should I just tell them that I don't work there anymore? Should I be honest and say I resigned? I guess another thing I have going for me is that I never *technically* was fired...I resigned. Anyways, what do you guys think? TL;DR: . Assistant:
I was given the option to resign from my job instead of being fired. I did. If asked, how should I tell prospective employers about this during interviews?
