Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/dating_advice TITLE: Online dating embarrassment. 22m, 19f POST: Hey everyone... I met my girlfriend of about 1month on match.com and she is fantastic. She gets along with all my friends and is just everything I'm looking for. The problem is we met online. My friends and family think that is an embarrassing way to meet (every time a commercial advertising it comes on, they insult it and say how embarrassing it would be to actually use a site like that...) I have been telling them that we randomly met at a starbucks, and just hit it off which isn't necessarily a lie but feels pretty damn close. I actually met her online and our first date was in the very public starbucks to get to know each other. I don't know how to break this to my friends and family that I actually met her online and my girlfriend is getting upset because all of her friends and family know the truth and thinks that I am embarrassed about her. My question is, how do I go about doing this without risking the validity of my relationship to my peers and family? Ultimately it is whatever makes me happy, I understand that...but in the interim I don't know what to do. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I met a great girl online but lied about how I met her and don't know how I break it to my family

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationship_advice TITLE: I (22/m) have a wonderful (23/f) room mate, but I can't be myself around her because of her (23/m) boyfriend. Am I being silly? POST: I (22/m) just naturally get along *too* well with my (23/f) room mate whenever I act like myself. We're just two people who have a lot of chemistry and really understand each other. On the very rare occasions I act like myself around her I make her laugh super easily, and get tons of reactions like "Uhh, I know!!!" or "I can't believe you think that too, no one ever thinks that!!!". I don't try to get these reactions, it's already naturally there. While she and I would never do anything inappropriate in regards to her 1 year long-distance relationship (23/m), I worry that when I'm myself there's just a lot of natural attraction that builds up pretty quick and I try to get rid of it. When this starts happening, I always start talking about how cute some other girl I couldn't care less about is, I'll become a bit less friendly, a bit (fake) shy where I mostly avoid eye contact, and I'll purposely pretend not to be on the same page as her. Anyways, I'm worried that if I don't keep parading this *visage* around her, we're going to end up seriously attracted to each other, even if neither of us would ever act on it by respecting her current relationship. I would love to just be myself around her, but am I doing the right thing by pretending like this Reddit? Thank you in advance for your help. TL;DR: . Assistant:
When I (22/m) act like myself there is a lot of noticeable chemistry with my (23/f) room mate, so I act differently to throw her off because she has a boyfriend. Should I keep doing this?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationship_advice TITLE: I'm only 20, but a rocky, abnormal start to relationships has left me jaded. What do? POST: (20, Male, University, busy with academic work and a couple of hobbies, good friendship circle etc.) It's really hard to describe my feelings towards relationships. I've had plenty of crushes, have acted on them, and have been turned down or used emotionally (I was very naive at the start of university). Now, this isn't going to be some pity-party. That'd be silly. But I must admit that the prospect of relationships is kind of drifting out of my head as a possibility. To me this seems perfectly logical - if the only thing I've experienced has been, at most, girls who really can't decide whether they like me 'in that way' or not, then why would I see things any other way? But here's the kicker. I know plenty of people drift quite seamlessly into relationships, even if these opportunities are rare. I know they're quite simple and straightforward, but my past experiences have left me quite jaded and cynical to the possibility of this being true. I'm not a virgin, and have had a couple of flings earlier in university. When I lost my virginity, it was enjoyable (in a 'finally!' kind of way), but ultimately embarrassing (including her telling me I'm 'weird', then sort of kicking me out of her flat (have no idea what I did wrong...)); and I guess I kind of have a negative experience. The second fling was a bit messed up too (was with a long-time friend), but far more enjoyable/awesome - only her being 'on the fence' made everything really awkward after the fact. What I'm trying to get at is, I have yet to actually have any kind of decent, 'normal', genuinely nice sexual relationship. Coupled with some memories I'd rather forget, I am left probably worse off than having no experience at all. I'm sure all of this doubt will kinda vanish once I'm actually *there*, *in* a relationship and I get to find out what the fuss is all about, but naturally, the process of getting there (e.g. meeting new people, and so on) is made harder by a really rocky start to relationships. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Bad sexual experiences make me in a worse position than I would be without any experiences at all - this makes me cynical about what a 'true' relationship would be like. What do?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Is it ok for the person I'm seeing [38/F] to not respect my [35/M] feelings while she has a very sick pet (cat)? POST: We haven't been seeing each other that long so I'm wondering if this is a serious red flag. She sprung the sick pet news on me in guilt trip fashion and used it as justification for being upset with me over the phone. So I took my time to calmly explain how what she was doing made me feel. There was a long pause. Then she took the conversation in a new direction without acknowledging what I said. After a sentence or two I interrupted her to ask if she was really going to ignore what I just said, which was what I thought to be a pretty mature attempt to resolve a problem I was having with her. Her response to me asking if she was going to just gloss over my statement? "That's right. Because-" *Click* That's when I hung up. She sent a few texts after that saying how she thinks she's walking on eggshells and that she feels she has to prove she's good. Those texts really surprised me because I don't know how she can say those things. In fact, that's exactly how I feel. Right after those two texts she sent another one saying that she just found out her cat is blind in the last 24 hours. Like, what?! Why didn't you say something a day ago? Why are you just now saying this during a conflict that it has nothing to do with? Here is another example of how I feel like she doesn't respect my feelings: The other night she said I'm funny when I'm not trying to be but am not funny when I am trying to be. Kinda hurtful, right? So I said so. Her response was that at least she was laughing and that was a good thing. I let it go after a small fuss because I'm really trying to be mature and not pick fights but it really hurt. It feels like she's playing dirty, inconsiderate pool. Am I being too high maintenance? Is it all in my head? I'm looking forward to any thoughts or suggestions anyone has. In trying to keep this short I hope I didn't leave out too many details to where I didn't provide enough information. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: I am constantly begging for him to do anything with my family and he never will. Today was my nieces birthday and I made sure to leave late so he only had to be there for ten minutes but he couldn't even do that. He left early for work to avoid it. He has anxiety but so do I and I still try to get to know his family. My family is so important to me and I feel like I'm becoming a stranger to them. I got home and found he made this status: "I guess I am a shitty boyfriend since I went in to work a bit early so I can get extra shit done so I dont have to stay late instead of sitting at a birthday party where no one will talk to me." My response: "wow way to completely twist that around. I'm really upset because you never go to family functions with me when I want you to and you left early so you didn't have to go with me. Pretty much no one in my family really knows you and that's shitty." He refuses to delete it. We've been arguing about it for a while and I just don't know what to do. Is this even salvagable? We just bought and apartment and I feel like I'm going to have to move back out already because we have this argument every month. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Girlfriend [25f] going to concert with a male [31m] friend I [24m] have never heard of .. POST: So, we're chilling and out of nowhere she gets a text from a friend of hers I don't recognize. No biggie because I don't know many of her friends, and she knows very little of my friends. She exclaims 'oh shit, Sting is going to be in town'. I asked her if she's going and she said 'yeah, I went to a Sting concert a long time ago and my friend just asked me if I'm down to go again'. An hour later, she told me she just got her Sting ticket. What makes me uneasy is that she admitted (through trickle-truth) that she cheated on her ex boyfriend once, and that this friend she is going to the concert to is from the time when she used to be very promiscuous. Honestly, I don't think she has cheated on me, and I don't think she plans on cheating on me with him. Nonetheless, I am feeling uneasy. Am I right in being uncomfortable with her chilling with a guy alone? Or am I being totally unreasonable? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/legaladvice TITLE: My new employer disclosed my confidential info to my current employer against my wish... AZ POST: I currently work as a physical therapist at a small privately owned clinic. When I signed on for the job I agreed to a 8 mile non-compete clause stating that I would not work in that radius. My dream job at a well known hospital chain finally had a opening and I accepted. I quit current job and was instructed by my future manager (a former employee at the small clinic) to not disclose my future location because they have tried to use legal action against PTs who were leaving due to the clause. In the new hire paperwork, I elected to not have my new employer contact my current employer. That background company called me one day ask asked if they could call my current company to only verify current employment. During the phone conversation, I told the woman that she could, if the name of the facility that she is asking for is not disclosed and if the verification of employment without specifics was the only contact they had. Two days later my current employer emailed me stating "hospital chain (location) contacted me asking confidential information about salary etc, would you like me to disclose or not." I contacted HR and I have had higher ups apologize stating they are "investigating the issue" I realize I should have told the background people no, but the woman assured me the only thing they say when they call is "does employee X currently work at your facility." and that was the end of the conversation. I want to know what I should do? I know I cant ask legal advice but I do not want to be taken advantage from a large company with a legal staff. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My [19F] boyfriend [19M] gets really upset over homework and I want to know how to handle it. POST: Carl and I have been dating for four months now. I love him a lot and he loves me a lot. I think he wants me to he around for a long time and I feel the same way. The only issue with our relationship is school. He's taking a really tough class that just doesn't click with him. Normally you'd think this wouldn't be an issue, but it is. Whenever he's doing homework for this class, he gets really depressed and angry that he can't figure out the problems. Starts saying things like "I hate myself" and "You should just kill me". As someone who has gone through depression, I see some symptoms in him and really wish he would see a counselor. I suggested it to him, but he said he could handle it himself and I'm not going to give him an ultimatum because I know that those aren't healthy. This is the only time he acts that way. He's almost always happier in person. I feel like he's upset because he feels inadequate because he can't do this class. He's not happy with his major. He's looking into other lines of work, but for now he's stuck in this class. I have no idea what to say to him when he gets like this. Humor doesn't work. Telling him that's it's going to be okay doesn't work. Telling him that everyone still loves him regardless doesn't work. He's tried tutoring, talking to the professor, anything. None of it has worked. I get sad whenever he talks this way, and being cheerful and upbeat about it takes energy. I've tried asking him what I should do in these situations, but he doesn't know. I'm a psych major and I don't know the first thing about the topic he's studying. I want to be as supportive as I can, but I'm at a loss here. Anybody know what I should say to him? TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: I've (M[21]) been in a relationship for a year and a half with F[22] and it really has never gone well. I think we want different things and we are not overly compatible. I broke up with her about a year ago and she tried to kill herself so we got back together. This week I met an F[19] who I think I'm really compatible with. She and I talked for a few hours and we have a lot in common.

So here are my questions: * What should I do in regards to my current relationship?

Also, this is the boy I consider(ed?) my best friend. So me and this boy have been friends for 6 years and we're really close. We are both seniors in high school. He asked me out in October and dumped before Christmas. He gave me reasons like "I don't want to be in a relationship that will have to end when we part for college", "I'm done with high school dating", "I need to focus on myself right now" and the infamous "I just don't want to ruin our friendship". As much as it sucked to hear, I accepted it. He kept sending me messages about how much he wanted me but couldn't have me. Fast forward to yesterday when he tells me he's dating someone. An ex-girlfriend. What?We still hang out and talk like we did before we were dating. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Am I obligated to respond? POST: I was dating this girl very casually in November/December. She's 23, I'm 26. It kind of died off on its own, though since then we hooked up once, which was last weekend. In the month or so between our 3 or 4 dates and the hook-up, she slept with her ex-boyfriend once, which is of course fine; I'm not interested in dating this girl, and after we hooked up last week I realized immediately that we wouldn't do it again. Here's the thing: she's been emailing me a lot, asking to hang out, etc. I've been politely saying I'm too busy (which happens to be true), hoping she'll get the hint. Then last night, she sends me an email where she's just *wasted*, talking about how her bday is on Thursday and the anniversary of her father's death was two days ago, and basically all this stuff that I would probably need to be with her there for if we were in any way dating. But we're not. But she's clearly sad (according to this email at least), and going through some stuff. I don't want to just ignore her, but I don't want to get involved in a way that seems like I'm interested in her. And to be honest, and I don't mean to be a jerk, but I'm not really interested in being friends, either. I'm super busy with work and we both have separate groups of friends anyway. What do? TL;DR: . Assistant:

She refuses to bring it up to her parents. POST: I'm 22m and my girlfriend 22f have an apartment together. We have a rent, phone bills etc. Both of us work full time to pay our bills. The problem is my girlfriend has been paying her little sisters bill as well as her own and we never have any extra money. We can't go to a dinner or movie at the end of the month because we have bills and food. Her parents are not the best off but they make at least 5 times as much as we do. They have pot (which I have no problem with ) and do other recreational activities. Her little sister is 13. I understand a cellphone is necessary with buses and stuff but why is my gf fronting the bill. She refused to bring it up to either of them and I've talked to other people in her family and their on my side. I keep telling her to please bring it up to them. I didn't mind before we had all these bills but now that we're trying to start a life every penny counts. I don't want to bring it up to her parents because I'm not exactly in the position too but this is effecting our bills. Not to mention I want her to be on my significantly cheaper service provider. Her mom also does little things like say she's coming over then shows up her, her boyfriend, his son and his sons friend. We have a tiny one bedroom and this ruined my night because I couldn't even sit on my couch and relax after work. She's also told her little sister Her and her friends could stay at our house while they attended a con which we could not house or feed. (They didn't enzd up staying but it's the principal) My girlfriends sister is family but I don't think it's her/our responsibility to care for her. The main issue though is the phone bill.

We had just finished a bottle between the both of us and I was feeling confident, so I went in for the kiss. We made out and I asked if she wanted to take this to my room once we broke for air. We proceeded to have sex and during the whole fiasco my condom had fallen off without me noticing and so I accidentally came inside her. We got plan B and everything and I apologized profusely. She said she didn't hate me or anything for it and that it was just a bad situation. I haven't talked to her for a few days after it. Should I just shoot her a text and start up casual conversation?

POST: So, I have been recently having some serious identity issues. I was born in Pakistan but moved when I was one and lived about 1/2 my life in America and 1/2 my life in Canada (where I currently live). I love Canada to death - to me, it a great nation, great people and undoubtedly, this nation is my home. I feel incredibly safe here. But, a lot of the time, I feel like an outsider looking in. When I talk to other Canadians, usually the first question they ask is where are you from. I answer with Canada. And there is usually some followup like where are your parents from or where were you born. I answer honestly and tell them Pakistan but I don't understand their need to ask and their need to know. I mean, just have a conversation with me and you will know within the first five minutes where I was born. I feel like white people are seen as 'real Canadians' and everyone else (including Aboriginals) are seen as 'immigrant Canadians'. I have no problem being an immigrant - my parents wanted a better life for their kids and I am extremely grateful they decided to move. But something else is that all these other Pakistani immigrants I am around make me feel bad and ashamed for not caring about Pakistan. I know the language and the culture but I mean, I don't give a crap about the human rights issues there, the political issues, etc. For me, Canadian issues - like senate reform and how to reconcile properly with the Aboriginal population - are much more important to me. But someone younger than me said, 'I hope my children don't grow up to be like you and forget their roots.' That stung. But I am Canadian. Fuck being Pakistani-Canadian. Why can't I just be Canadian?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/cats TITLE: Upcoming cat surgery, non-profit assistance possibility questions POST: So, a little bit of background story. I was recently laid off from work, the business itself shut down unexpectedly with no forewarning from the owners, and in addition to that I don't expect to receive my final two weeks pay and commission check that I'm due. At the same time frame, I had one cat who suffered an infection of her uterus and needed surgery to remove that. I paid for that up front, and it was only a week before I was laid off. Now I've got a second cat, maybe some of you will remember my post from r/aww at Well, Cheshire recently developed a limp for his left hind leg, and I brought him to the vet for x-rays. Vet was honest, she didn't know exactly what it was from the x-rays, so they were sent to a radiologist/specialist for review as what she did see was a bone mass density difference between his two hips. Radiologist confirmed same thing, and I was told Cheshire has a condition which is leading to the deterioration of the ball/cap on his leg bone, putting him in massive amounts of pain. Even with the pain killers the vet gave us for the time being, he still growls and limps every time he stands up and walks around. Despite this, he's still being affectionate so I'd think he's trying to stay positive. Now, after the $1,200 pyometra surgery for one cat, a $300 check/x-rays for Cheshire, the surgery estimate is ~$1,800. My vet was kind enough to volunteer that there is an organization that tries to provide assistance for this kind of situation, and I applied. That was Wednesday the 7th, and as of yet we haven't heard a response. Does anyone have experience with this kind of thing? Maybe chime in with what kind of time frame I could expect? I really don't want to keep Cheshire in this condition, I'd rather get the surgery done ASAP but if I can't get help I'll have to resort to putting the whole thing on a CC and I'm honestly not looking forward to having to pay that interest on it, but if it's what it takes I'll do it. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Last Friday in theology class, a seminarian came to our class to answer any questions we had. Class began and the feminist in question raised her hand and asked why women can't be priests, he began to respond but she cut him off and began lecturing him about how it was sexist, unfair, doltish, and threatened all the rights of women. She continued lecturing him for the next 40 minutes, he didn't get to say a word. Today, in theology class, she began yelling at our teacher about how everything she believed was wrong and how she was a disgrace against humanity. All because the feminist didn't agree with something the teacher has said. Our teacher is young, just out of college, and really really nice, to the point where you can't even get in trouble in her class because she's to nice and timid to say anything. Well anyway, being yelled at pushed her over the edge, because she was already sad because her cat had just died, and she began crying and left the classroom. The feminist just said "see I was obviously right because she couldn't back up her ideas. Here's the FU. A few classes later I was telling a few of my friends about how she had made our teacher cry, and I suddenly feel a tap on my shoulder, I turn around, and it's her, the feminist I had just been talking about, I had forgotten she was in my class because she had just recently transferred in. Well before I could react when I turned, she smacked me in the face, I had been badly sunburned at a track meet over the weekend so it was the most excruciating pain I had ever felt, like a volcano exploding on my face. Before I could recover she punched me in the nose. My nose broke. Right after punching me she kneed me in the groin. So there I was in fetal position on the ground, my cheek stoning, and the blood from my nose forming a puddle on the ground. She smirked, looked me in the eye and said " That's what you get for disagreeing with me you uncultured swine." Sorry for any formatting issues and grammar, I'm on mobile. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My new neighbor (50's(?)/F) can hear everything I (20's/F) do in my apartment, and it's disrupting her sleep. What do? POST: My neighbor moved into the apartment adjacent to me a few days ago. Whilst she's a very nice lady, she seems to be very annoyed by my sound levels, as she can apparently hear every word I say through her walls. I'm not a particularly loud person- the noise I produce consists of chatting on Skype and playing soft music to help me sleep. However, no matter how softly I speak, she still hears me. The thing that makes this particularly problematic is my own sleep patterns; I happen to be most active at night, presumably when she's trying to fall asleep. I'm at an impasse because, while I want to continue living in a way that is comfortable to me, I don't want my neighbor to suffer for it. I'm in an LDR, so the Skype chats are dear to me, otherwise I'd cut them out. Has anyone been in a similar situation or have any advice to give? TL;DR: . Assistant:
My neighbor's life is being disrupted by my noise levels, which would be reasonable if it weren't for the thin wall between us. What do?

My last relationship I was cheated on and haven't even gone on a date in over a year.</p><lb> <h4>Our relationship<h4><br><p>I had met this girl(23) about two months ago in a very seemingly odd way over the internet. She is going to school to get her certification to work on Airplanes and lives with her parents. When we first started to get to know each other, she told me about her condition and asked me if I was judgmental. Having quite a few issues of my own, and knowing well of the dangers of autoimmune diseases (My dad has MS), I told her it didn't bother me at all because it didn't. We seem to share many of the same thoughts and experiences and things look very promising. I realized at that moment that I was going to need advice over the issue.</p><lb> <h4>Her Condition</h4> <p>She apparently used to run cross country and work as a mechanic while doctors were puzzled over her condition. This badly damaged her joints to where she has to take pain medication often, but can still function normally. She was officially diagnosed with RA a year ago. It already affects her ability to work and might even prevent her from pursuing what she loves ( working on airplanes ). She takes many different kinds of medicine to treat it although she has told me that it makes her miserable.</p><lb><h4>My Questions</h4><br><p> How can I be supportive towards her?

She talks to him in a really condescending way and she's really demanding, she expects him to do every single thing for her, and she's slapped him several times. And that's just that I've seen, I'm sure she's done it more when I'm not around, and maybe even worse than slapping. I'm a really caring person, probably almost to a detriment, so I'm quite concerned and I have talked to him once before about their relationship and how she treats him. And she found out about that and got pissed at me, accusing me of trying to get him to cheat on her with me and stuff. I want to talk to my friend about it too, maybe she doesn't realize what she's doing? I feel really intimidated by her though and I don't know how to talk to her about it because she'll get defensive and start saying I'm insulting her or something. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Girlfriend [25f] has absolutely no manners and POST: My girlfriend and I have a fairly decent, average, relationship with about one exception. Her manners are so bad that I'm embarrassed every time we eat with friends/family and I'm starting to get frustrated even when it's just her and I to the point where I have a hard time being "normal" around her eating. I'm not a picky person by any means and in general am very tolerant of people who don't do things "my way" but after three years of listening to her chew with her mouth open, bite her fork/spoon when she takes a bite, play with her food, and shovel it into her mouth bit by bit I'm about at my wits end. I certainly don't expect royal manners or anything of that variety but I am slowly realizing that general manners are a must in my relationship. I know the old adage of "just talk to her" (we really do talk about almost everything, very open) but I have a particularly hard time, I think, because I feel like it's not my responsibility to coach her in proper social manners. It feels a bit father-like and I get the "its not my job to teach her manners" every time I consider talking about it. It's the details that get to me, is it best to try and train her in every nuance that makes up good manners ("don't bite your fork, don't chew with your mouth open, don't pick at your food with your fingers") or should I just generally say "you need to work on your manners" and hope that she gets it? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Girlfriend and I have a fairly healthy relationship but she lacks very basic manners and it's really starting to get to me. I have no idea how to successfully approach her and discuss it because I feel strange taking that role.

To me, it seems like this is a big violation of privacy (thought that he should have used a BCC instead), but I wanted Reddit's opinion to see if I wasn't overreacting? He's a bit of a control freak, so I'm not sure if that's part of it or if it's me overreacting as well (or maybe a bit of both).

We never had a big fight or disagreement. The biggest problem was the distance but we still got to see each other at least every other weekend. I know he has struggled with depression but I thought he was happy. He said he was happy and for the most part he acted happy. I was happy, I mean really happy for the first time I can remember. It was the most amazing relationship I could have asked for. Then a few days ago he just called me and ended it. He said he needed space and time to focus on him, that he wasn't happy with himself and that he never felt like he was right. He says I didn't do anything wrong and swears there is nobody else that he just needs time for him to fix himself. I do believe him he, was very upset and crying the whole time. He sounds like he hates himself which I don't understand because he is the most amazing person I have ever known. He really is, he is sweet, hard working, brilliant, giving, loving, great personality, and he is great to talk to about anything...just all around amazing. I want to help him but he just pushes me away. I am devastated. I had no idea that he wasn't happy. I can't understand it, a week ago I would have never thought this would happen. I don't know why I can't make him happy when he makes me so happy. I haven't been able to go more than a few minutes with out crying and I haven't slept since the break up. I just don't know what to do he was my best friend and I feel empty and lost without him. We are still texting some he says he misses me but he just isn't happy.

Vacuuming was my job, and I was doing a damn good job (IMO). I should inform you that we have one of those Dyson Cyclone vacuums that has the cylinder that you detach and then press the button to empty from the bottom. So I detach the cylinder and hold it over the trash bag to empty. I press the button-dust, dirt and hair ALL OVER the floor while only a small amount made it into the bag. I curse silently, turn the vacuum back on and go to work. I had gotten most of it back into the vacuum when the garbage bag was caught by the vacuum and tipped over, spilling the rest of the vacuum's prior contents onto the floor. I cursed again (not silently this time) and cleaned the rest of it up. Such a simple task and yet, TIFU. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Tried to empty vacuum into garbage bag, emptied onto floor and garbage bag instead, cleaned up, vacuum tipped the garbage over and emptied the rest of it, had to do it again. I need a shower and a drink.

POST: So I recently started a job that has me largely working from home and driving around my metro area. It's a sales job, so I'm paid mileage(when on appointments) and a stipend for my vehicle. I'm going to need to upgrade my car before too terribly long, and I want to put down a significant amount. I'd like to put together the cash for this payment from funds earned through a side gig. Not so much because I couldn't manage to save the cash myself, more as a project and a way to keep myself productive. Given my unique job situation, I'm able to carve out time here and there during business days and also have some of the costs of travel subsidized so it seems wise to take advantage of that. At the moment I don't have any productive hobbies, unfortunately. My first thought was Uber, but I think that would make it way easier to get caught "double dipping". My first venture is going to be thrifting and reselling 100% wool jackets/suits on CL and offering delivery for a small additional fee. I live near an affluent suburb, so I think I could keep a pretty decent inventory on hand and I don't think the time investment will get to be too daunting once I have a couple of templates for listing completed. Any other ideas or pitfalls/opportunities I'm not considering right now? What do you do for additional income? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Looking for a side hustle, travel costs covered by main gig, first attempt will be thrifting suits/jackets and reselling with delivery. Any other ideas?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/offmychest TITLE: Adoption is the wrong choice for most of the kids I work with... POST: I work in special education, specifically with emotionally disturbed kids. The past 6 months all of my students who were in foster found potential permanent homes. Sounds great right? Even better, all of those homes ended up working out, in each case the new parents were ready to sign the dotted line and take on the responsibility of a victim of trauma. Even better still; all but one of the families were in district, so I would be able to continue working with the students (some of them I've been with for 4 years now). Can this get any better? Yes, my students would finally have someone to call "Mom" or "Dad" or both. Only we discovered a problem, a major problem. Once an adoption is finalized, all funding and resources coming from the state to pay for things like Therapy are completely cut. That means you take a child who from birth to the age of 5 was sexually and physically abused, put them into the system, get them finally comfortable opening up to a therapist, get the ball rolling so they are making serious educational and emotional progress, find them a placement, then cut all those supports out from underneath them. How is that fair to the child or the families who want to adopt those children? Just today I had a meeting with the entire support team for one of these children and, being the case manager I had to inform the potential adoptive parents that the entire financial burden of continued treatment will be solely on them. Basically, I have to help these people cheat the system in order to best serve my students. It feels really unethical to me, and I feel like it really disappoints the students when they're not officially adopted, they crave safe permanency. The only silver lining in this is that in all the cases I've worked with, the county has agreed to allow these new families to be the new foster families and these students DO have a permanent home, and finally someone to call "mom" or "dad," when they're ready to. TL;DR: . Assistant:
In Ohio, if you adopt, financial support for any therapy for your adopted child gets cut immediately upon the paperwork being processed. I have to tell potential adopters this information.

We have a lot of the same interests and she has a very nice, albeit a sarcastic personality, but that's all the better for me because it rolls with my personality as well. Anyways, I started flirting with her and we've gone ice skating together once, but I'm not certain if she is entirely into it. I've asked her to go on a date with me on Valentine's Day to the movies to go see Deadpool, but she said that she had too much homework to do so (Which makes sense, our school gives a lot of work) and I did ask her only two days before Valentine's Day. I asked her if she'd be willing to I did get her a carnation delivered to her door on Valentine's Day (I usually get one for all my close friends so its not too out of the ordinary, although I have only known her for a month) So right now, we still talk and I'm really unsure of where I should go from here. I can't tell her if she isn't interested in me romantically and just want to stay friends, but I'm getting mixed signals so I'm uncertain of what to do here.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Is giving receiving a business card bad relationship etiquette? Me (28F) BF (28M) POST: Relationship 4.5 years. Thank you for reading! So I am in sales and have gotten in the habit of exchanging business cards as frequently as possible. I have accumulated a stack which are scattered throughout my purse. I guess you could say it has become a reflex when meeting somebody. I went to a bar with my friend Tabitha several weeks back and we started talking to two guys about the caucus. The conversation then turned to whether we had boyfriends and I said I was in a relationship and that we were getting engaged soon. I talked about this a LOT. I then went to leave and did the whole business card exchange. I did not intend to ever speak to either of them again and have not. I cannot think of a nice way to say this, but neither of these men were attractive. The next day, I had already forgotten their names. My boyfriend found the business card on the floor and got excited because he needed a new mechanic. I didn't remember the guys' names so I said that the card was probably my friend Tabitha's. Later, when I picked it up cleaning, I realized it was probably one of the people we had been talking to and threw it in my purse to join the stack. A few nights ago when we were in bed, my boyfriend asked if I still had the card. I told him that I could get it for him in the morning. That night, however, I couldn't sleep because I started feeling really bad. For the first time, I wondered if taking business cards might be similar to going out and getting numbers. I woke my boyfriend up after several hours of not sleeping and explained to him the story and said that I was sorry. He was fine with it, but was angry that I woke him up. I felt bad that I had said it was probably Tabitha's. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Is it wrong to give out your business card or take one from a single man? I have been doing it because it is a good networking tool, but maybe it leads to too many complications?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [22 M] with my current GF/EX [22 F] of 3 years. Want to know if breaking up is a good solution to anxiety/distance. POST: I've been in a relationship with my best friend for 3 years. And now we aren't sure how to proceed. Currently, we just finished college in May, and have not been able to see each other (hardly) at all. The biggest problem is that our hours are opposite. She works from at least 5pm to 11pm, Tuesday - Sunday w/ doubles on weekends, and I work an 8-5 M-F job. This might be surmountable, but she has a serious anxiety complication. While I can help her with it when we're together, being unable to communicate really makes it harder on her. Add that to the fact that our intimacy has been flagging, and we're scared that we should break it off. However, we still really care for each other and don't want to lose our best friend. ----- That's where the complications happen, and where I'm requesting advice. If we break it off, we put ourselves in the position of finding other people. That means we can easily hurt each other more, or even hurt the people we are with (like if we aren't fully broken up, or if we decide to get back together with each other instead of the others). If we don't break it off, then we (she especially) feel like we can't know whether we are right for each other, or if we will be able to stick through tough times in the future if we do end up together. ------ I know you can't tell me the "right" thing to do, but I was hoping you could give me your opinions. We've just run this topic ragged in circles, and it isn't helping either of us feel any better about our position. I really just want to hear some things we may not have considered. I'll be happy to provide more description in the comments, but I wanted to keep it short and simple for you. I'll also tell her about this so she can add to it if she wants. Her username is llamaears. Thanks! TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: The other week I found out that my boyfriend of 6 years created an okcupid account while I was out of town for work. I found out about the account because I saw messages from OkCupid when he logged into his email. Later I went to okcupid.com on his computer and he was logged in. No major detective work here. His profile is fairly bare with no picture, but states that he is single, and I can tell that he has looked at other women's profiles and "liked" them. He has no messages in his inbox, but you can delete those right? I haven't ever used the site. I didn't bring it up to him for a few days because I just didn't want to think about it. When I finally told him that I had found the account, he admitted it to me. He said he had looked at women's pictures but that's it. His reason why was that "I was out of town," which is fucking stupid. We are generally a good couple, and though of course we fight about stupid shit sometimes, this is the first time I've had trust issues with him. He's a bartender and often doesn't come home until 7 am, but I've always just trusted that he just gets off work late and then maybe has a few drinks with his coworkers. I travel often for work and never assumed that he was looking to meet up with other women while I was gone. So, am I being a total fucking shmuck? What would you do? I will be devastated if he cheats on me, and I'm not even sure that he is trustworthy anymore. Can I believe him if he says it was nothing? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Most of the time we've spent together has been great, although we have had a few rough patches, it's never been anything we couldn't work through. But a few days ago we decided to take some time to ourselves, continue dating, just cut contact for a week to have some alone time to figure things out. We made it very clear that we would stay exclusive and not do anything with anyone else in the meantime. Today was our first day talking again and she immediately told me she had cheated on me the night after we stopped talking. She hadn't been drunk or anything, just made some bad decisions and one thing led to the next, her and this guy, we'll call him Steve, had slept together. She is deeply sorry and hates that she did it, she wants to try to keep our relationship intact, and I do too. Steve was a friend of hers away at school and they haven't talked since. I told her if she wanted things to work between us, that her and Steve could not remain such good friends. I told her it was okay for them to hang out in group settings because I understand that they have the same friend group and to cut contact with him entirely, she would have to cut herself off from almost all of her friends up there. I'm just having a hard time accepting that she would do this, because it's so against everything she stands for. I'm also having a hard time trusting her now because we will have to remain in an LDR for another 2 months, then I will be up there as well and we can be together, but until then I can't bare the thought of her seeing this guy every day or so and I don't know what I can do to just improve this situation in general. Also, Steve will actually be in town where I live over the weekend, and I want to confront him, but I'm not sure that's such a good idea. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Let me preface this by saying I understand why this company would fire me. I know it's nothing personal. I've worked here for two years, and lately I've been getting a little burnt out, so I hit a bit of a lazy streak. Totally understandable; no issues with that. My issue is that on Saturday, my immediate supervisor pulled me into his office, and to make a long story short, told me he had to start the process of termination due to my recent work performance. Tough to swallow, but fair. I messed up. That was the only thing I heard about it on Saturday, and we are closed Sunday. On Monday, Memorial Day in the US, I asked my supervisor if he had any updates on the situation for me (apparently some kind of form has to be sent to corporate, they sign/approve it or whatever, then send it back and you clean off your desk). He said because of the holiday, no one is at corporate. He also said that his supervisor, the GM, was waiting to hear back from someone. That was the last I heard of it on Monday. On Tuesday, I came to work not really knowing if I had a job or not. I came in, did my work, acted normal. I asked my supervisor via text if he had an update. No response. I know he saw the text, though, his phone is always with him and he has one of those smart watches. He saw it. Never hearing anything, I finished out my shift and went home. It's Wednesday, and here I am at the job I was told I'm getting fired from. I've never been fired from a job before. Is this normal? Do I just wait it out? Is what they're doing (telling me I'm going to get fired and not following through) normal? TL;DR: . Assistant:

That doesn't mean I don't still love her and care about her, and we decided to remain in contact as friends and kind of lay off on seeing other people. It's worked so far, but new allegations from her friends about me that simply put, aren't true, are causing her to "retaliate" and do this camping thing.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Do all executors of a deceased family members estate have to agree in order to sell said family members estate? Or do you only need 2 to agree as the majority? POST: I have to provide a bit of a back story. There is a husband and wife. They own a house. The husband dies and the wife has dementia and is put into a home. Due to the wife's lack of mental capacity, 3 of their daughters were appointed as executors. The house that the father and mother lived in is up for sale. The money from this sale would not be made probate, but would go to the mother and pay for her stay at the nursing home. NOW for my question. Do all 3 of these sisters have to agree on the price of an offer in order to be able to sell it or do only 2 need to agree and they majority rule the other sister? Like if there was an offer of $150,000 and the 2 sisters agreed to that but the third sister said she doesn't want to accept any offer unless its $200,000, would it not matter because 2 over power one? TL;DR: . Assistant:
3 sisters are executors. 2 agree on an offer on their fathers house, the third one does not. Do 2 overpower one?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: [18M] Asked a girl I knew for a few months to hangout, got denied, not sure what to do next. POST: Yep, despite me being a SAP, I attempted it. I am not really seeking a relationship with this girl anymore, though I was (I guess I still kind of am) mildly interested. However, I'm completely content with just being friends. We used to hangout during breaks at school during those few months I've known her. She said "sorry I have ____ to do today", which means "no". I said "maybe another day" and she responded in the affirmative, but didn't offer another day (something that, according to the Internet, means that she is not interested at all). However, she seemed willing to carry on a conversation after that, albeit it was a bit awkward. I have two issues here. The first one: what do I do now? I feel like I should ask again later (maybe like a week later), but at the same time I don't want to be too persistent. Or should I just leave her alone for good? We don't go to the same school anymore, so that would be pretty depressing. Two: The general rule of me talking to a girl: the more attractive she is, the stupider I sound. I once was able to shut off my feelings for a girl and successfully flirt with them and maintain a conversation, but I seemed to have lost that ability. When I asked this girl to hangout, it was poorly done and I couldn't think of anything to say. How do I regain this ability? TL;DR: . Assistant:
girl I knew for a few months denied my suggestion to go hangout, wondering what to do next, and also how to not sound like an idiot while talking to girls.

I have talked to her about it, and she said she is working on it. she said this two years ago...

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [22F] & brother [22M] with childhood trauma. Boyfriend said "he's too damaged and beyond anyone's help". I kicked him out. POST: My brother and I (twins) had a nightmarish childhood. Both our parents were criminals and violent. They were angry at everything and everyone and always unleashed that on me and my brother. When we were 16 we ran away from home. We lived on the streets for a while until we were able to rent a room together. When we were 19 our dad was killed by the police. Our mom killed herself a few months later so we got their stuff. We sold their house and bought a new one and that's where we live right now. We focused on getting professional help, trying to heal and moving on. I've been able to do that. Now I have friends, I'm in a relationship for a year with my boyfriend and my life is pretty normal. My brother however has struggled. His progress has been much slower than mine and he still isn't in a great shape. He struggles with making friends and having relationships. Therapy helps and he's getting better but it's a long and slow process for him. My boyfriend hasn't really been helpful to be honest. He thinks I shouldn't help my brother since I don't owe him anything and that he's and adult and responsible for his own problems. Last night we woke up because we heard my brother screaming in his sleep (it sometimes happens, though not often anymore) and I went to his room to help him calm down and go back to sleep. He has nightmares about what our parents did to us. This morning boyfriend told me that my brother is a mess and he belongs in a mental institution. I didn't like what he said so I told him that I don't need his "expert" psychological opinion. He continued that I should cut him lose since he'll never be a good brother for me as he's too damaged and beyond anyone's help. I became angry and told him that he should leave. I'm very upset with the things he said. I find his comments not only out of line and insulting but also very wrong. He texted me a "I'm sorry if I upset you" apology. I don't know what I should do with him. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Worried I won't find anyone. POST: I have a lot of good traits. Ironically, all my good traits are currently hurting my self-confidence, because I keep failing in relationships and don't understand what it is that I can improve. From the outside looking in, people assume my love life is effortless. People tell me I'm a good looking guy, I'm into a lot of hobbies (hiking, kayaking, woodworking), I'm in good shape, I have a great job that's allowed me to be financially stable, I volunteer at a retirement home, I'm not overbearing, and I'm not jealous, I try to be genuinely kind... My friend's regularly joke that if they could transfer their "game" into my body and had my life that they would be killing it with the women. I know they're trying to help by telling me I have a lot to offer, but all it really makes me think is: "If I'm so great then what the fuck is wrong with me that prevents me from getting a relationship to work?" I've gotten to the point where I'm afraid to seek out new relationships because it hurts to be rejected. I'm always trying to improve myself, but I don't exactly what to focus on. Currently I'm just working on myself and trying to be happy, but I would also like to start pursuing dating new people. I'm 28 years old and have always dreamed of having a family, coaching my children in sports or just supporting whatever it is they want to do with their lives. I know I'm still young, but I'm starting to feel old. The only problem is that there isn't anyone in sight. I'm beginning to have doubts that it will ever happen. It bums me out.

Had a brief chat today with her about brain farts and the really chilly weather outside. Ordered my coffee and another one for a family member. When I headed over to the pickup side of the counter she asked if the iced coffee was for me (it was). When I said yes she immediately got a size larger and remarked that she was giving it to me for free. Then she stopped me before I walked out and gave me a free coupon for next time. She's always been super friendly when I order but never to this extent. How do I non-creepily go about testing the waters. I've always had this mental "block" towards hitting on cashiers. It just doesn't seem like good practice and could easily come across as being on the weird/stalker side of things. I realize that she may in fact have just been trying to keep up customer loyalty but there was definitely a flirty hint in the manner that she did all of this. Have you folks had situations like this? If so how did you approach it and what was the result? TL;DR: . Assistant:

It's a ton of fun and a blast to camp out in early November when it's nice and cool and when fires are necessary. Over the past 3 or so years a friend of mine named Kristen has expressed interest in going on the trip but never knew about it beforehand. She actually remembered this year. However, I'm not sure that she would be welcomed onto the trip with open arms. Firstly, the majority of those going are in relationships and their spouses are pretty jealous. Not sure how they would feel with a single lady sharing a tent with their boyfriends/husbands, especially when there are notorious sleep fuckers lurking in tents these days… Secondly, there is friction between her and some of the other guys that go. Kristen has a very abrasive personality, but it's one of the reasons I get a kick out of her. I'm used to it and I don't take anything she says personally, but others tend to. Thirdly, this has primarily been a guy's weekend kind of deal. In the past one of our friends brought his girlfriend and everything was fine, but she hasn't been back since the first year I went 5 or so years ago. How do I politely and gracefully brace her with the fact that she might not be welcomed to go along on the trip? It is scheduled for the second weekend of November. TL;DR: . Assistant:

He's 24, I'm 21, and we're in a seven month relationship. He has this one female friend/co-worker that I do not like at all. She's very flirty with him, even in front of me. They became friends shortly after him and I started dating. Yesterday, she gave him a big box of chocolates and a cute little card to go with it. I'm not the jealous type but this definitely made me jealous for some reason. I feel like she's overstepping boundaries but he doesn't see it. He thinks she's just being friendly and he doesn't think she has romantic feelings for him. Apparently she saw the flowers he got me because he had them delivered to his office so he could surprise me with them when he got home. When she saw the flowers he said she was like, "Oh my gosh! Did you get those for meeeeee?" He said she was joking but it still pissed me off. What can I do about this girl? She always texts him, leaves comments on his Facebook wall, etc. Are there good ways to start a conversation about this girl? It's kind of difficult to bring it up out of the blue because he doesn't talk about her that often. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: A few months ago I broke up with my boyfriend, because I felt we were drifting apart. I was feeling lonely, and tired of feeling like he would rather be doing something else. I don't really think all of me wanted to end the relationship, I just wanted to see that he really wanted to be with me. We were dating long distance as well, which makes things even more complicated. After I told him I wanted to breakup, he didn't say anything. I would try and text and call him and tell him that I wanted to talk, but he would never reply. He did text me once in the early morning, when I'm assuming he was drunk, to tell me that I ruined everything. And then he never replied when I tried to bring it up. Eventually I just gave up, realizing that he just didn't want to speak to me ever again. Then, this afternoon, he texted me for the first time since our breakup, and it was a scary picture of something I'm terrified. He used to do this all the time when we were dating, and always as a joke. So I don't know what he was thinking, or why he did it. I'm really confused. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My [22/F] boyfriend [27/M] makes offensive jokes that don't sound anything like jokes, and gets upset when I take them seriously. POST: We met while I was at the vacation in his country, exchanged contacts and talked online. I've flown over a couple of times, we fell in love, so we're currently 6 months into the relationship and we're long-distance. The problem is that he has a weird sense of humor. His understanding of a joke is to say something offensive in a completely serious tone, but others are somehow expected to understand that he's kidding (Poe's law in action, in other words). Needless to say, most people who heard him make those jokes don't understand that he's joking. I've gotten somewhat used to this, so I can recognize when he's serious and when he isn't most of the time, but sometimes he sounds too convincing. For example yesterday he said something sexist to me. It hurt me, but I thought that he probably didn't have any malicious intent and might have just been ignorant when it comes to this issue, so I gently tried to explain what was wrong with what he said. His reaction upset me greatly, so to avoid making a scene and saying things I'll regret, I said goodnight and logged off. I woke up the next day to messages of him apologizing profusely and clearly being very sad about it. Turns out he thought I was joking too so he played along, while to me it looked like he was mocking me for what I was saying. And this is not the first time it has happened. I tried talking to him before about it, but his only reply to this is "How can you seriously think I'd say those things? Do you really think I'm such a terrible person?". But what the heck else am I supposed to think when he sounds like he absolutely means it?! Even when I say that what he said upset me, he thinks I'm joking too. He's not a bad person, he's actually very kind and sweet, so I understand why it saddens him when I take him seriously. But I also think that he's old enough to understand that not everybody gets his sense of humor and not everybody is kidding all the time, like he does. What should I do, reddit? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Boyfriend has a peculiar sense of humor almost nobody understands, makes rude "jokes" in a serious tone, and gets really upset when I think he's serious and feel hurt. Not sure how to deal with this.

Now the dancefloor at this club was a very small, and had a railing around it to contain the unruly dancers. Now my friend and I get out on the crowded dance floor, and are having a good time everyone is bumping into each other because, well, it's crowded. WELL, apparently one girl thought that she deserved to have her own personal bubble out on this dancefloor, so she began elbowing my friend and I, being very rude and glaring at us. THEN she starts saying things like "Move over bitches!", "Move the fuck out of my way"... etc Anyways we just looked at her and was like "Ummm, *NO*" SO THEN, she starts sucking her drink into her straw and spitting it on my friend, and eating chunks of ice and spitting them at us. *OH NO SHE DID NOT JUST SPIT HER NASTY ASS MOUTH GERMS ON ME!* So for my revenge? I walked right over to the giant ass bouncer with her eyes locked on mine I pointed right at her and told the bouncer what she was doing. He walked right through the crowd and grabbed that bitch by the arm and walked her on out of the club while me and my friend laughed and waved at her. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: Me and my girlfriend decided to establish basic rules in our relationship, so neither could whine when a breakup occurred if a rule was broken. We signed a symbolic contract. It sounds childish, but it's actually working. My girlfriend understands that I have sexual attraction to other people. It's my fantasy to participate in threesomes and orgies. I haven't done it yet though because she doesn't agree with it at the moment. She would become jealous. But she acknowledges that she could change her mind in the future and we could bring other people in. A polyamory relationship is one where there is an emotional relationship between more than two people of any gender. How are these kind of relationships viewed today?

I say "most likely have it fall through" because we have been just friends before this happened.

Last weekend I said, fuck it let's see what happens, and she enthusiastically complied. We made out that day and the day after, so I thought it was going to continue, but she has become shy since then. Not uncommon for her, but not what I expected after what happened.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: What is your theory on the ramifications of automated manufacturing/services? POST: I've been thinking a lot about automated manufacturing/services, and how it is poised to permeate into all aspects of our society. An interesting example is the driver-less car that Google is developing, not only will it affect everyday commuters, but it will effect industries where driving is the primary source of income, trucking, cabs, pizza delivery, etc. I feel sweat shops in China aren't even safe. Why pay a human being who will most likely get fatigued, burnt out, or demand better pay/working conditions when they can be replaced by machines that only require basic maintenance? It will be interesting to see how society and the economy adapts, as automation will turn us on our head. Especially when you think about basic economics, if potentially billions of people are going to be put out of a job in the next twenty years, they will no longer have income. Without income they can no longer buy the products being manufactured, which in turn would cause product manufacturing to recede on all fronts. No matter how you look at it, the current economic model will not be able to adapt well to full automation of the world. It's terrifying and exciting at the same time. What are your thoughts? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Automation is only going to get better and more precise, leaving billions out of a job, what do you think this will do to our society/economy worldwide?

During that time, someone got put into a managerial role (that I did not agree with) and got fired afterwards; another developer has left; my founder has talked behind the backs of two other employees; my founder has not shown any recognition for hard work that has been done by employees (including myself); has shown a lack therefore of general leadership qualities (acknowledgement, compassion, direction, motivation, or hardwork); and most of all I haven't got paid for the last 6 months (2 of which I was on medical leave) -- with hopes to finally get paid this week *crosses-fingers*. Throughout this time, the founder has not acknowledged there is actually a money problem and commonly would issue checks that would end up bouncing at the end of the day just to make people quiet. Even to this day, how things are currently running is a mystery with the team being remotely scattered. The founder is also an old friend of mine, but things have run pretty thin from this experience due to the lack of general respect.

I don't think she should carry to term. What things should you feel horrible for feeling, but don't? POST: My sister has a daughter who recently turned three. She had this child with a married man, and he has never seen my niece. My parents are the one who support my niece. My parents are young (42 and 49), so it's not an age issue. The problem is that my sister takes absolutely no responsibility for her daughter. Her money goes towards herself, or whatever guy she is seeing at the time. My sister lives with my parents, and her room smells of spoiled milk, and boxes and trash are piled almost to the ceiling. The entire house has been like this ever since my younger sister and I have gone off to college, as we are no longer home to take care of the housework while my mother takes care of my niece. When my sister comes home from work, she will immediately go out, not coming home until one in the morning, long after her daughter has gone to bed. My older sister has always been very messy, and refuses to help with any housework. Now that she is pregnant again, I can only see this getting worse. My niece can't even sleep in her own bed or her mother's, as both are filled with stuff from all over the house. My dad leaves for work at 5:30 in the morning, and doesn't return until around 7:30/8:00. The baby daddy is her age, but he is very child-like, and thinks it's easy to raise a child, and that working a part-time job will take care of everything. My parents have raised their own children for over twenty years, they were excited to finally have time to themselves, but are now having to raise two more children for another 18 years. I think it's selfish of my sister to make my parents raise her current child, and for her to expect them to raise her upcoming child. I do not want her to carry this baby to term, and I don't feel bad for having this belief. My parents do not deserve to raise their grandchildren and be responsible for my sisters mistakes. TL;DR: .

Her parents are super traditional and the very thought of her even staying the night with me upsets them. She has lied for the last 6 years saying she was at her friends house so we could have some time together. They know we plan on getting engaged and eventually married. My gf and I are falling into depression due to not being able to live together along with other issues outsider our relationship. We've been on many trips together and are completely happy and care free when we are together, but lately not living together is really making us unhappy. I want to tell her she just needs to move in with me, but I don't want to be thought of as disrespecting her parents. I know at this age and the devotion we have to each other it's nonsense for us not to live together, but I don't know how to get her to break through that wall and tell her parents that we are moving in together. One of our biggest issues is the loss of friends over the years. When we started dating we each had a good pool of friends but over the years those friends have just about abandoned us for various reasons. I feel it's almost impossible to propose even though it's all i think about. I depresses me that I would have to propose and then we'd have to go our separate ways after the proposal instead of enjoying the big step in our lives together. TL;DR: . Assistant:

As the title describes, I had been losing weight (or at least maintaining) up until about two months ago. I'm now afraid to look at the scale, but I have NOTICEABLY gained weight. Some of my clothes don't fit me anymore. Formerly: 5'7", 160 lbs. I've been a subscriber of this site for a long time and totally get that CICO is really the only way to lose weight, that you shouldn't weigh yourself all that often, etc. That was never a problem before. My diet was not incredibly strict to begin with (1 lb/week goal on MFP). I now feel like I'm straight up addicted to food. I am eating in volumes I've NEVER eaten before. Nothing about my life has changed beyond my eating habits. I have OCD (worried I'm compulsively eating, if that's even a thing) and bipolar 1 (yes, I am medicated; no, not with the stuff that causes weight gain -- quite the opposite). I should note that I don't really feel depressed. My life is pretty decent right now! Also, I've never been a "depression eater" anyway. Oh, also, 110% sure I'm not pregnant. How does one suppress this kind of appetite? Lately it seems that if I'm not eating, I am obsessively thinking about eating and believing I'm hungry. I can't possibly be hungry! What can I do to get back to eating a normal, reasonable amount that would result in gradual weight loss (last I checked, my TDEE was something like 2,000 but I've gained weight since then...)? I have NEVER been an overeater before; any weight gain in the past has been due to eating a moderate amount of complete shit, not eating LOTS of complete shit. I don't even know how to go about losing weight when my issue is the volume I'm eating and not the nutrition (or lack thereof). TL;DR: . Assistant:
Developed an issue with overeating and constantly feeling hungry. This has never been the case with me before, so I have no clue as to how to attack weight loss from a volume standpoint and not just a nutrition standpoint.

Even though she said early she was fine with it. POST: So using at throwaway, and I'll try to make this quick. Some backstory: I have been dating my girlfriend for around 7 months, in that time I have been focusing mostly on my schoolwork and didn't have a job. She did, and her schedule would sometimes run into our plans, oh well, it happens. We adapt. I just got a job and have to work 5 days a week, from 7:30- 11. I didn't choose this schedule, its the only time that fits with my classes. Because of my new schedule (combined with my school/work and hers), we can only talk one hour each night after work. It's only been a few days and she is getting angry at me, even though she told me "we would get through it and be fine" after I asked her. How do I proceed? TL;DR: . Assistant:
New schedule has cut down communication drastically, gf is angry at something out of my control. I don't know how to proceed.

I mean completely awful, worst break-up I've ever gone through, total nightmare situation. We dated for a year and a half. I did not have any closure, and his behavior was (and continues to be) downright spiteful and abusive. We lived together, so I ended up moving back with my mom for a bit. I am currently going through a kind of transitory period, and have just gotten a new part-time job. On the first day of my new job, one of the new supervisors came in, and my stomach dropped. This man is an exact copy of my Ex. Hair, glasses, clothes.. everything. I actually had trouble training with him because I felt weirdly sick and turned on in equal measure. Tomorrow is day 2. I am not sure how to handle this situation. I feel like I am already acting weird around this person, who is more or less a total stranger to me. I know I am projecting my feelings about my ex onto coworker, but I'm not sure how to control this situation. One minute, I want to punch him in the face. The next minute, I want him to fuck me on his desk. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/personalfinance TITLE: Medical bill was in collections for two years, found out about it last month and paid half off, now my parents are telling me not to pay anymore until they contact the insurance company we had because it should have been covered. POST: Okay so, in January 2012, I ended up in the ER two days in a row while my entire family was at Disney World. Fast forward a few months, I recall the bill coming to my parents' house, and receiving it when I came home from college at some point. My parents have never been very good with money. Countless months with our water, power, phones shut off. Last year, the bank took our house. It wouldn't be far fetched to imagine a situation in which my parents conveniently misplaced this bill. Being the naive 19 year old that I was at the time, I assumed my parents would take care of it. As I've come to learn being a much more responsible and **slightly** less naive 22 year old, my parents let the two medical bills (totaling $1700) go to collections. I found this out when I checked my credit for the first time (suggested by a finance professor) around the beginning of last month. I talked to the collection agency, which is based in the city that I live in, and as suggested by my own mother I set up a payment plan. I have already paid ~$700 of this debt. As of yesterday, I get a call from my mother who urges me not to pay any more money because I had insurance at the time and it should have been covered. Now, my father is attempting to contact his former employer to process an old bill. My question is: If by some miracle this does happen to work out, what is the likelihood that I would be able to get the money back that I have already paid? Oh and, like an idiot, I was intimidated when they already had all of my information, and gave them authorization to withdraw the money from my account. TL;DR: . Assistant:
If the insurance company processes a two year old claim, is there a chance that I could get the money back that I paid to a collection company for the debt?

Halfway through our second lease, our landlord threatened to evict us, so one friend and I found another apartment. A few months later, the landlord claimed we caused $10,000 in damages. The house was 80 years old, and he was trying to pin years of renting to college students and neglect of the apartment on us. So we contacted a lawyer who contacted his. After months of negotiations, we came to an agreement of $8,500 just to get it over with, as it was easier to pay the money 3 ways than go to court. We soon found out that the landlord had sold the house, so there is now a new owner. We haven't heard anything from the landlord's lawyer in about 3 months. I was wondering if the landlord would still be able to sue without owning the property? TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: So I woke up at 8:30 today after spending the night out and returning home at 6:30, resulting in me only getting 2 hours of sleep. After I woke up, I felt a sense of grime on my body so I decided to take an early morning shower before heading out. After I finished shampooing, brushing my teeth, and masturbating, I decided to shave as I haven't done so in awhile resulting in a thin veil of stubble. At this point the warm water and steam was making me drowsy and I vaguely recall having second thoughts on shaving. But I shaved After I shaved, the next thing to do on my list was cleansing the razor, so I began to do what I felt came naturally at the time whilst running on the fumes of 2 hours of sleep. I began running my index finger up and down the razor blades in an attempt to get the hair out of it. I finished showering and stepped out to dry myself. And on the towel, Blood. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Now im getting a good vibe from her, so i ask her to hang out. Then she stiffs me (something about having to go to LA to see her family). Then i ask her the next day, another excuse. Then ask again, and she keeps saying "we'l get together at some point". So i was thinking she just was no longer intested, but she continues to text and talk to me.

She's VERY invested in our relationship, which will result in a lot more heartache that I really don't want to put on her right now.

He went to the gas station to grab an energy drink and left his work PC up with a personal convo from a member of the opposite sex. The convo says "the girl is finally going to bite the bullet and buy something, she'll text him about it." I ask about it later, because I'm curious and wanted to know. I didn't go through his phone and didn't blind side him. I just let him know that he left it open and asked what she needed to buy that she couldn't text through work? He gets defensive right off the bat asking why I went through his things, shrugs it off saying I should just trust him, and that this is a null argument. That me not trusting him is the core issue and I should just take it as that. I said that I wasn't really okay with that and he just says well I apologize.

My degree happens to be right down the drug trial lane and people who work on the drug trials have done the same degree as I have. I am really interested in how these trials are created and the process behind them. The drug is already allowed in the US and they just have to do some studies here (Australia) to make sure they're ok. I am getting paid for this trial but the more you get paid, the higher the risk of getting the side effects are. I am in a study with a relatively low risk level. I am really interested in the process but the money would be really nice especially in uni holidays and with Christmas coming up. I spoke to my uncle and grandpa about this (they are both doctors) and they said I should be fine, especially because there's a chance of me getting a placebo. The real issue is that my boyfriend doesn't seem to like the idea at all. I don't know what to do. I'm worried that if I do drop out of the study he'll be all like 'you didn't have to do that for me, you're an adult who can make you're own decisions' because I know he's uncomfortable with this and one of the only reasons I would drop out of the study.

It was long distance, we were both co-dependent and not trusting of each other. I think in the end we were both smothering each other. But i broke it off two years in. First kiss, first sex first everything. I never gave him closure. Fast forward and I have been in a wonderful relationship for almost two years. I couldn't be happier. The problem is, and I know this sounds strange, but I keep having dreams (that do not correspond to any feelings in my normal life) in which I meet and have conversations and make amends with my first love - maybe like 3 times a week for the past couple months.

POST: Long story short, her ex was an asshole to her in high school, she broke up with him, and then dated his best friend for a short time. When university started, she saw her ex again at uni, felt guilty because he said he had started doing drugs and drinking alcohol cuz of her. She starts dating him again; he emotionally and verbally abuses her, tells her that I'm an asshole who wants to use her etc. She stops talking to everyone until Christmas break. We (me, her sister, and other friends) convinced her to break up with him. And she did. But after going back to uni, she started having a thing with him again. This time, I lost my cool and got mad, yelled at her. She told me off, but I still apologized to her in March. A few hours ago, she emailed me saying she was happy with that asshole and I said that was good for her, but I was never going to forgive him (he says he has cancer, no symptoms or proof to support it). I told her that he was not my concern anymore, blah blah blah. She told me I was being egoistic and needed to keep my anger away. Hence, making me sound like the bad guy.

Once she is gone I cannot bear to think of her with anyone else. She has a lot of friends but most of my friends I have met through friends of hers and my school friends live a few hours away. She is saying she just wants to be alone and has found herself developing crushes and finding other people attractive.

POST: My girlfriend is Malaysian and has been studying in the UK for the past 3 years. We have been in a relationship for 2 ½ years now. Her visa to stay here is coming to an end later this year, then she will be forced to return to Malaysia despite opting to stay here if she had the choice. We have gone down the job route, to the point that she was offered the job here, but the employer failed to get a license to issue Visas on very petty grounds. I (and others) have suggested getting married. It is something we've discussed before, and we are both happy to do it except that she refuses to get married before she goes back as she feels like she will just be doing it so she can get a visa, rather than because she will actually be married. She's happy for me to propose in 6 months, but not before she returns. The problem for me is that the delay will mean we are not going to be close to one another for at least a year, perhaps longer, other than for short visits (we both will be working full time). Right now, I am positive and optimistic about our situation as I think that we can make it work, but two people living in entirely different cultures on opposite sides of the world might mean that we change a lot.

I am going to sound like a douche bag for a second but stay with me, trying to give other users the full picture. I am a charismatic, charming, and decently good-looking 26 year old male college student. How do I know that? I have been with a lot of quality girls over the years (some relationships, some a few-night stands). I have never had trouble making friends, etc. I take a class with one girl in particular who I identified from day one as my type. My type is natural beauties, slightly on the hippie side with brains. I cannot stand dumb, material girls (or people in general). One friday night I hit this girl up for some smoke and she tells me to come over whenever. I did some laundry, cleaned up and voila, two hours later im ready to go. I get to her place, she takes me back to her room, we listen to some albums, smoke a joint and talked about our lives-where we came from, our families, etc. I have never been really great at picking up vibes other than if a girl is irritated. At this point its almost 2 am. I decided it was a critical moment, either ask if she wanted me to stay or take the reigns and say I was going home (quit while I'm ahead). I chose the latter. Over the weekend I was busy so we didnt talk. Today (Tuesday) comes around and we had class. I asked her if she wanted to come to my place wednesday after class and she said definitely. So I guess my question is do I go for it this time? Its worth mentioning she is several years younger than I am (can count the difference on one hand). Also I am not looking for another relationship, just a chick to kill time with for the next couple of months; I get the impression she is the same way in light of our conversations. Preferably seeking like-girls advice. TL;DR: . Assistant:

She was over on Saturday and she got angry at my son for throwing her shoe down the stairs. I don't believe in corporal punishment whatsoever, and she knows that too. But when he threw her shoe down the stairs she smacked him, and not even just a little smack on the butt, but like a smack right across the face. That absolutely pissed me off and I couldn't believe she did that. He cried and broke my heart, I told her that's not okay and that's not how I discipline my child. And she seemed apologetic and understanding, her and my parents take turns sitting him while I work. She wanted to look after him Sunday while I worked and my parents did the past couple times so I felt guilty saying no to her, even though I didn't want her looking after him. So I dropped him off at her place before work and the entire time I was so anxious and worried about if that's not the only time she's hit him. What do I do if it happens again?

POST: So me and my now ex met online July 2013. From the start I knew he was a really disciplined individual because of his eating habits ( very strict; non GMO, only free range meats etc..), his education and his martial arts career. Things were great up until 4 months ago, we would argue all the time about everything. We would have super intense arguments over the stupidest things like me wearing make up (he thought I looked hideous and super fake) or like me talking about something stressful in my life without warning him first that I was going to do that. He restricted my ability to talk about my stress in life to the weekends because he "couldn't handle my emotions all the time" and when it came down to discussing my stress or an argument, he would dissect every emotion to action to reaction to emotion. I just couldn't do that anymore, even after letting him know all I wanted him to do is just to listen, not to analyze in explicit detail everything I was feeling and my actions because of those feelings. I even went to counseling for the last 3 weeks because he said my communication is poor and I don't understand the English Language ( even though it is my first language). I was just going to counseling by myself. He never offered to come along with me. So I broke up with him yesterday, and it wasn't until I said " I realized through the counseling that I am just done trying to make us work" was he then willing to commit and go to counseling and "Do whatever it takes to keep you here with me" I didn't give in to that because I feel like if he really did want to make us work, he would have been that committed since the beginning of our problems. But now I feel really guilty. I feel like I should have given him that opportunity. I don't know if it's just a post break up feeling or if I genuinely made a huge mistake. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: My boyfriend and I rescued a dog from a local animal shelter a few months ago. She was listed as a stray German Shepherd mix, and we think she is likely a GS/lab/pit mix. They estimated that she was around 2-3 years old, but since she was a stray, they didn't know for sure. They found her just wandering around the city we live in. Anyway, she has been doing GREAT since we brought her home. She was timid for awhile, but has grown to love and trust us and our friends, and has overall become a pretty awesome dog (no accidents, is trying to get along with our cat, etc.). As I was working a lot and my boyfriend was home more often, he wound up feeding her more frequently, although we both take her out and play with her. The thing is, she has grown incredibly attached to my boyfriend. She is normally excited to see him, which is fine, but she follows him around all of the time and cannot take her eyes off of him. Even if I am playing with her or petting her or engaging her, if he is there, she is staring at him. Earlier today, when he leaned in to kiss me, she started making noises to try to get his attention. Whenever he leaves, she whines a little. He is starting a new job soon and will not be home as often. We want to help her become less attached to my boyfriend so that she knows he will always come back, and so that she doesn't have to feel so anxious (it's like she is constantly looking to my boyfriend for approval) when we're home. Does anyone have any suggestions, tips, or tricks to help her become more comfortable with my boyfriend's absence and less attached to him? TL;DR: . Assistant:

I've been dating my girlfriend for a bit over six months now, she's very attractive, very intelligent, and occasionally funny, other than this one problem, she'd be perfect. This problem was something that I ignored at my own peril at the start of the relationship, now it's biting me in the ass. Quite simply, my girlfriend is boring. During any kind of social engagement, she sits in the corner and doesn't talk to anybody except me. If she has something to say to somebody, she asks me to tell them. In private, she's demure to a fault, when she's not being indecisive she'll just agree with me. Whenever I ask her about why she's the way it is, she'll just tell me that she trusts me with whatever choice is being made, and I shouldn't worry about it, because it's impossible for her to get mad at me. At this point, I'm ready to call it quits on the relationship - but she doesn't feel the same way.

I had gotten no sleep the night before and had to do overtime for work, so I was dead tired. At last I was going home on the bus, but to my luck there were no seats. Oh boy. So I'm standing while holding onto one of the poles, then my tired body said fuck this, and soon enough i was sleeping. I wake up with myself dropping low, still hanging on to the pole like I'm a stripper. Everyone on the bus is looking at me like I'm crazy. I hear a little girl(who pretty much had front row seats) say mommy look at the man. I tried so hard to hide my embarrassment, i just closed my eyes and hoped the bus ride would be short, i wish. I did it again. Dropped my ass down low like i was desperate for dollar bills. This happened for 30 minutes, each drop happened every 3 minutes. I regret not sleeping. TL;DR: . Assistant:

What do I do? POST: Throwaway account because he's on Reddit and knows my actual Reddit name. Okay, so, we actually met on Reddit and decided to become "pen pals" through email. We have been talking for a few weeks now, and it's amazing. Our emails are always insanely long, we never run out of things to talk about. Our personalities are incredibly similar and compatible. He's very sweet and incredibly smart. Our opinions on everything (especially relationships) really match. We are both single, and considering each other as potential partner in the future (not any time super soon, it's too early). Problem is. PLEASE don't think me shallow. We have yet to see what one another looks like. We only know each other's first names. I couldn't stand the mystery, so I actually took his email that he uses, and searched the email on Facebook. There is his first name. And him. And I am not attracted to him at all, whatsoever. Physical attraction is so important in a relationship to me, and I'm incredibly bummed that I do not at all find him attractive. What do I do? I don't want to lead him on, and he doesn't know that I searched him through his email. We haven't talked about any serious relationship together in the future yet, so I was thinking about continuing talking to him until the subject comes up. Is there any way at all it could be NOT him? He's incredibly attractive to me in every other part, except for physical. It's awful. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Reddit, my grandad has cancer. How do you deal with mortality? POST: This is a bit of a cry for help. My grandad was diagnosed a while ago with bladder cancer, but given his incredibly poor health choices and age, it's a miracle nothing this bad appeared sooner. The medication and radiotherapy that he is currently undergoing has slowly been chipping away at his demeanour for the past 3 months, but only when I saw him today, barely concious and in a lot of pain, trying to smile, did it suddenly hit home. I knew that I would have to deal with it at some point, but I guess I just figured I'd cross that bridge when I came to it. This isn't my first dealing with death. When I was 7 I watched my other grandad die slowly of brain cancer. He was a man who made some wrong choices, but always with the right intention. My father also died very suddenly when I was 15, which I was also unlucky enough to witness first hand. Those two men deserve far more than this paragraph alone, but I'm trying to keep things concise. These things, amongst others, have been the cause of the past 6 years of my life being severely depressed. Recently I have come out of it, but there are times when even small things get to me. I have always had incredibly supportive friends and family, and my SO, who puts up with all my crap and stands by me through everything, but even with these things there are moments in my life where the brutality of it all pins me to the floor.

It's been several months since the affair ended and we are working on it. He's given 110% to proving himself and getting help for substance abuse issues as well. Things are better between us now than they've been in awhile. Sometimes I have a really hard time coping with it. I guess I wanted to see if anyone had any advice they could offer? It's like this awful rollercoaster sometimes. I can't believe he did such a hurtful and selfish thing to me, and to the other woman. She and I have talked at length, and while it's been helpful at answering questions, it's also just something else to be sad about. I know he regrets what he did. He's taken full responsibility for it, he hasn't shied away from anything I need to ask, and he's gone the extra mile to show me he wants to earn my trust back. Honestly sometimes I just feel so broken. And I don't want to keep throwing it in his face because he's well aware he fucked up and it's something we can either move past or stay stuck at. I want to move past it. I am obviously hurt and angry with him, but also with myself. I feel like by staying with him, I am making what he did okay. Or that I'm not respecting myself. On the other hand, I know people fuck up, and I've never been one to give up on people. Is this just going to take time? Am I being an idiot? TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: She said "I can't take this bickering anymore" and told me to find somewhere to be. We talked and she said I'm too clingy and jealous of our roommate [22] who is lesbian and only wants my wife and doesnt hide that fact. She spends all her free time with said roommate ( or so I feel) and screams at me at the smallest thing. The roommate is her best (and ONLY) friend she has who lives in our area code and they do nothing but air at the house and RP(roleplay) characters they created on IM She said she wants to try again with us and apparently didn't think breaking it off meant divorce or that I would want nothing to do with her besides our daughter. She doesn't work and and my paranoia has me thinking the only reason she took it all back is because of the fact I am the primary income, our roommate refuses to pay more the 150 which isn't even 1/4 of our bills The sex is gone, we rarely do anything together. It all started going down hill after the birth of our daughter, I don't blame her for the sex issue because I honestly beleive it is the birth control "implanon" I am a good father and only wants what's best for my daughter...I fear the best would be our divorce. ..as we speak she is in another state for the week with roommate visiting roommates family...any advice?

POST: Looking for some advice on the topic, or specifically if someone knows a good lawyer in the Riverside, CA area for this, that would be awesome. My step son is having a kid, and the mother-to-be is the victim of harassment by him. He has a history of domestic violence when he lived with us (I had him arrested as a minor), and he has a history of domestic violence with her. They are unmarried, and he is now threatening 'all out war' to get full sole legal custody of the child when she is born. He is even pushing to break a restraining order, and get an early judgement on visitation and custody rules. He has threatened to retain a lawyer, which there is a 75% chance he can not afford to do and is using it as a stalling tactic. A new restraining order hearing was postponed today when he said he was retaining counsel at the end of this week, and it has been pushed to mediation (for custody issues, not RO issues). He's great at playing the system and the people that work inside of it. I am all for getting her a lawyer to fight against this but I am wondering just what we're in for. He will not be named on the birth certificate. There is no paternity test, just that they both agree it is his. He has no stable support system or family to help him out. She is surrounded by a supportive family, and his mother and myself. Is he facing an up hill battle here to get visitation and possible custody, or is she? TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: **Background:** I'm typing this from a state Emergency Operations Center as we deal with Hurricane Isaac.

Before this job, I was a SKYWARN storm spotter, and an Amateur Radio Emergency Services volunteer for a county EOC. I've been involved in EMA work of some kind for about six years, total. **Storytime:** Mostly, I would sit with shelters and do shelter reports, or I'd be doing radio communications relays - passing communication traffic from one station to another. During Hurricane Gustav, I was babysitting a shelter on the north end of the county I'm from. It was a special needs shelter, so we had all sorts of folks with mental health issues and health issues. I was sitting around on the worst night of storm activity. It was about 3am. I'm minding my own business, and a homeless individual came stumbling through the hallways, screaming, "WE'RE GONNA DIE, WE'RE GONNA DIE, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIIEEE! LORD JESUS MARY HOSANNAH IT'S THE SECOND COMIN ' AND WE'RE GONNA GO UP AND SEEEEE JESUS!" at the top of his lungs. Then he sang, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," over and over, but didn't know any of the words. Meanwhile, the roof of the shelter was rippling and bouncing above us, and you could hear the wind howling through the building. Stuff of nightmares. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: When I was in the 2nd grade (I am currently a 10th grader) my mother surprised our family with two cats that were 'getting to old to be adopted'. We've had these cats for 8 years and throughout those years they've peed on anything left on the floor they can claw at. This includes but is not limited to clothing, backpacks, and blankets. My parents have put up with this (though vocally stating how much they hate them) for our sake but recently they have peed on carpeting and furniture and this is my parents' last straw. We all love these cats and they're not 'bad cats' in anyway. One of them is skittish by nature but other than that and the urine problem they are loving animals who have been considered as part of the family in my eyes. These are my first cats and the only childhood pets I have left that haven't passed away. For now, my mother has banished them to the basement unless we can find a way to stop this, or else they'll go to a cat rescue where no one will adopt them. Reddit, I'm writing this through tears, please tell me how to get them to stop, or any advice that pertains to this issue. If this helps at all, one of the cats lives half of his live outdoors and uses the bathroom out there as well, we also have two dogs that push their buttons sometimes but ultimately they get along.

While on vacation in South Carolina, my family rented out a house in a marshy area for the duration of the stay. After spending the day at the beach, we came home and changed out of our swimsuits into different clothes. All of a sudden, we heard a horrific screaming noise. We all came together in the living room, at first thinking that someone in our family had seriously injured themselves. Quickly we realized that the noise was coming from outside. We walked out to the deck, which faced the marshy lake area, and there we found a fucking alligator with his big jaws wrapped around a deer's leg. The scream had come from the deer. My mom was so freaked out that she ran inside and cried. My sisters, dad, and I were just so freaking intrigued. We watched the alligator slowly twist around the deer's leg, and every time it would move, the deer would scream again. At the moment, we were just too freaked out to even think about running to get a camera. The alligator ate the whole deer. What the fuck. Basically every time I tell this story I feel like people don't believe me because it is so crazy. We should have taken a picture!! TL;DR: . Assistant:

We are both in high school, I am a junior and she's a sophomore. We're both pretty smart and I'm a bit of a nerd. We both do theater at our high school but hadn't known each other long before our relationship. I asked her out on Valentine's Day, and broke up with her just a few days ago. Pretty much throughout our entire relationship, I felt like I never really emotionally (or physically) connected with her, because whenever I tried to talk to her about something serious (like our feelings for each other, kissing, etc.) she would reply with "I don't know" to my questions, and seem to appear slightly irritated at me asking it, although she didn't remain angry at me at all. She told me that she has an in ability to talk about her feelings to others, including her own family, and she gets stressed and "shuts down" whenever she attempts to. I really am attracted to her and honestly besides this, she doesn't have a lot of flaws. She's polite, kind, works hard in school, and cares about her future. However, last week I basically told her that i couldn't take the lack of connection anymore and said that we should part ways for now. Obviously I miss her, but I really didn't see any other option. Does she have some sort of actual disorder, or is it just a part of being a teenager? Should I wait and see if she matures to where she's comfortable talking about stuff and then try a relationship with her again? I really just want another opinion in this because I feel hopeless.

POST: There were a few break-ins into cars and stuff in our neighborhood. My Dad decided that he wanted to buy a gun to protect the family in case of emergency. So he went out and bought a handgun. As far as I can tell, it's registered and legal. But the gun is making me very nervous and from what I looked up he isn't treating it like he should. 1. He doesn't know how to shoot and doesn't want to learn – he says in case of emergency that his aim will be automatic and "the adrenaline will get him through it". 2. He keeps it fully loaded all the time. I am the oldest in our house, my brother is 12 and my sister is 14, I'm worried they could just pick it up and accidentally shoot. 3. He doesn't have a case for it and keeps it wherever he wants. He likes to keep in clean and loaded in case of emergency or whatever and leaves it lying on his nightstand, coffee tables, etc. Am I wrong to feel like this is unsafe? I tried to talk to him about it and he twisted it into me being an anti gun person and accused me of being brainwashed by Obama. He doesn't want to shoulder the extra expense of buying a case or a safe for it either, and he is very absentminded about where he leaves stuff anyway. I just want him to take proper safety precautions. Our Mom isn't in the picture so I have to figure this out. What do I do? How do I make him understand my feelings? Am I being overdramatic? TL;DR: .

POST: Just broke up with my boyfriend of eight months over long distance issues. He is a great guy and I love being around him. He's like me in a lot of ways, and I just feel so relaxed around him. I honestly can't think of much negative to say about him. It's been great, however, three months after we started dating, he decided to pursue finishing his bachelor's degree. I was 100% supportive of him, and this kind of cemented his decision to go back since he was worried that it would ruin a great new relationship. I knew he would be graduating in June of this year, which isn't that long of a wait, so I stuck with him. The only real issue is that he has no idea what he's going to do when he graduates. He's going to be a fireman, and the jobs in that field are very scarce. Meaning, he'd have to take a job anywhere that would hire him. This could take him even farther away from me and I can't deal with that uncertainty. Yesterday, I asked him to make some sort of commitment to me so I know that we have some plans for the future. He just told me "You're asking something I can't provide or guarantee at this time in my life." I know it was asking a lot of him, I guess I just wanted to know if he would do everything possible to try and make a future for us happen, but I know he can't. I don't know if I'm just insecure because my last relationship was a long distance one and it didn't turn out well. I was in a relationship with somebody who joined the airforce. He kept stringing me along for years before eventually leaving me for someone else. I just couldn't handle it if I waited for him just to have him move on with his life. But I'm really hurting right now wondering if I did the right thing. TL;DR: . Assistant:

I am a Canadian, and we have limited Freedom of Speech up here (Ex: If someone is preaching hate or spreading hate literature, they can be found culpable under the law of a hate crime). It seems to work fine, and I don't feel like my rights are being violated or i'm not allowed to express my views, while simultaneously I don't have to be afraid of my neighbor distributing Klan masks or the local Nazi sympathizer of passing out hate pamphlets to my kids. I've encountered Americans who go on and on about the merits of Freedom of Speech, but in personal experience I notice that the individuals who invoke FoS the most are people who have something stupid or something hateful to say (Westboro Baptist Church, the KKK etc.). Correct me if i'm wrong, but to me FoS in the US seems to me more like a shield to protect the wrongful, the hurtful and the moronic more than the "rights" or Americans. It seems almost akin to those who run around expressing their second amendment rights. Therefore, I ask you to please explain to me, a Canadian, why FoS is really a "good thing"? TL;DR: . Assistant:

My shinbone and the one behind that(don't know the English name) where shattered. After two surgeries and 2 years (and some more surgeries) of trying to get back on my feet I was able to function normally again. In those two years I finished my school and my career took flight. I used to do a lot op sports and was really fit. Now, three years later, I am trying to get fit again. I took on crossfit and after a lot of shameful sessions where girls where faster and stronger than I am (and I am a 2 meter tall 115kg weighing guy) I can say I am starting to get fit again. The only thing I can't seem to get down is the running part. The 400 till 800 meters running there is in crossfit I can't seem to do without completely draining myself. My muscles sour almost immediately and after a couple of hundred meters I have to pause. The muscles that fail are the ones in the foot/leg that you use when launching yourself in the air with your hind leg and landing on your heel with the front leg (difficult to explain in english) after a while I launch with a flat foot and land on a flat foot. The muscles are strong and developed, they just don't seem to be able to keep going for a longer time. Do any of you have any tips or exercises i can do to improve?

POST: I have been exclusive with my boyfriend for one month. It has seemed like a fairy tale thus far. He is extremely handsome, fit, doesn't drink/smoke, soft spoken, thoughtful, homebody like myself, supports his mother, and is extremely successful. He has taken me on trips with beautiful hotel suites and fancy dinners, pays me endless compliments, we always have a great time together no matter if we are watching movies or just washing his car together, and he has been there for me during some rocky times. It is the most exciting beginning to a relationship i have ever had. There are some concerns though which make me wonder how healthy things are: 1. when i googled his name, it came up with an arrest earlier this May for "DV INV" which supposedly means domestic violence. Not sure how to bring that topic up for conversation? 2. He says he is not a jealous person, but i have noticed if i go out with friends, the next day he will hardly text me/not see me if we had plans. Seems like a "conditional love" 3. He likes sex to hurt me. Granted this is not the entirety of sex, but maybe 10% of the time, and he stops when i tell him. I'm understanding of kinks, but i do know this can be a warning sign. 4. He has already told me he wants to marry and have children with me. (granted i've fallen for him, and these things sound wonderful to me too) 5. His father was physically abusive to him and his mother until he was 7 when his mother fled to the US. It is very well possible i am being overly cautious as i do volunteer for a domestic violence organization, combined with the fact i feel like this is too good to be true and i don't deserve something so perfect.

I'm a 21 year old female and I look like I'm 16/17. I can't stand it! I still get carded for R rated movies. And while I know that looking young will benefit me when I'm older, I want to look my own age. I think it may have a lot to do with the way dress/present myself. So my question is, what types of things should I wear? How the heck to I make myself appear older? I see girls that are actually 17 years old and they look like they are 24! And when I try to dress a little more sexy (when I go out, not to work obviously) I feel like I just look like a 17 year old tramp. Some other information; I'm petite (5'5' and 100 pounds), I have tattoos and piercings, and just so you have a visual here are three photos of me...

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My [25 F] boyfriend [27 M] has only come once in his life..ever. POST: My boyfriend and I have been dating for about two months and have recently started having sex (it was my first time, but not his). I spent this past weekend at his place and we had sex on several occasions, but he never came. It was only after one of those times that he told me he has only ever come once in his life (this includes during any type of sex OR masturbation). He has no problem getting an erection and keeping it up for long periods of time. He mentioned that used to try masturbating to porn, but stopped because he couldn't bring himself to come. The only time he did come was during sex with his ex girlfriend (using a condom) which was a long term relationship. He has assured me that it is nothing I am doing wrong, but that this has been a reoccurring issue for him. He also said that he thinks it might be a mental block/performance anxiety in wanting to please me so badly. I've asked him to try not to worry so much about my own pleasure, but to focus more on himself, but it hasn't worked so far (though he did mention that the last time we had sex before I left was the most pleasurable for him and that he felt close to coming). He has also suggested that we try different types of condoms as the ones we are using are a bit snug according to him; though I think this may help a little, I don't believe it fully explains the issue. I really care about him and want him to enjoy sex as much as possible. I am inexperienced and am trying to figure things out so any advice, anecdotes, thoughts, suggestions, etc. would be much appreciated. TL;DR: . Assistant:
My boyfriend has only ever come once in his life and I want to help, but am not sure how to do that.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/self TITLE: Completely a 'first world problem', but dammit, I need help deciding what to do! POST: OK, so I took a few years off school after I graduated high school, went to college for 2 years, then took a year off to travel, and now I'm back. In my major, I'm expected to get a summer job relating to my major this year, and it's a graduation requirement. However, I could push it back and travel again this summer and just do the job later on before I graduate. I'm really caught up in the whole 'live in the moment' mentality, and I feel like if I don't take every single moment available where I could be traveling before I'm 30 with a real job, I'm gonna have regret later on. I was abused growing up, and I feel like I missed out on a lot of living, so now I feel like I have to live 'extra' to make up for it. At the same time, if I take the summer off, my advisor is probably going to be quite frustrated with me due to how much time I've already taken off, and I'm getting mildly old to still be an undergrad. I think she already sort of hates me for my 'slacking'...even though I do have a 4.0. Oh, and one other important thing-the summer job that's available is sort of horrible. I feel like if I take this job, and have it on my resume later on, I'll be completely typecast as someone who only does this position. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Should I take a professional summer job, which is completely expected of me, or spend my summer traveling? What's the mature answer to this dilemma?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [25F] with my SO [27 M] of 3.5 years, I went through his texts and can't stop thinking about something I saw. POST: I admit that going through his text messages was wrong and I do feel incredibly guilty about it now but the bigger issue for me is that I found something that I can't stop thinking about. He was talking to his good female friend and I saw a text that said "am I being an idiot for leaving [my name]"? . I stopped reading after that because I started having a panic attack. The idea of breaking up was not even on my radar and I thought he was more than happy. Again, I know I shouldn't have looked but whats done is done and now I can't stop worrying about when it's going to happen. And now i'm being clingy just because of my worry which i'm sure doesn't help. I love him and don't want to lose him. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I saw a text from my SO to his friend about leaving me, can't stop freaking out. Need serious advice.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/legaladvice TITLE: Collectors calling about a debt I don't think I should have to pay... Can I stop them? POST: Almost 2 years ago I met with an advisor at a community college. I had full intent to being a few online courses assuming that they were within my budget. I took the aptitude test and was given a list of classes that I should consider. She even showed me how to use their website to sign up for classes and then I left. I decided not to enroll at the time since my hours were cut at work and I had real bills to worry about. After a few weeks I got curious about the courses being offered next semester and logged into their portal. When I checked my .edu email I saw several notices for an online class. I had no idea that the advisor had signed me up for a class while what I though was a demonstration. I was never even asked to pay for the class at the time and had never logged into the course before that day. So begins the problem… I tried to drop the class but it was too late. I tried to reach out to the college but they denied removing me from the class. About a year ago the debt was sold to a collections company who have been hounding me ever since. I've tried to explain to everyone why I don't feel responsible for the debt. I've pretty much dodge the collectors for a year. Today I answered a call from the collector thinking it was a call I was expecting. I explained to him again why I did not feel responsible for the debt. I told him I was going to seek legal representation and he inquired what steps I've taken since this is the first time I've mentioned doing so. He got a little upset and continued to try to guilt me into accepting the debt. I requested that he no longer call and to send everything by mail. At first he ignored my request and asked again about who was representing me. I told him firmly again to mail me. What are my options here? Can I seek legal representation? I've never had to do anything like this before. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Receiving calls 2 years after incurring a debt I don't feel responsible for. Am I stuck paying for this?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My [27 M] Wife [23 F] of just under 1 year said that her "love language" is different than she had previously said. POST: Backstory: When we started getting serious about our relationship a few years ago we read the book "The 5 Love Languages." She had told me that her's were "receiving gifts" and "acts of service." So for that past 3 years I have been showering her with gifts and doing things for her (dishes, laundry, trash, general house work) to show that I love her. She had never shown any real response to what I was doing. It seemed like she didn't care. I continued showing her how I loved her by doing these things. I would do romantic things for her like cook dinner for her and have dozens of roses everywhere in the house or buy out restaurants and fill them with candles and roses so she felt special. What happened tonight: She came home from spending a week with her family saying that I don't show her that I love her and that her love languages are not gifts and acts of service, but rather words of affirmation and me telling her how I love her. I am not a well spoken man and I have never been one. It almost seems like she wants to end our marriage because she doesn't feel loved. She said she hates who she has become because of me. I am going to try my hardest to tell her how I feel and to encourage her. But I'm not sure if it will be enough. TL;DR: . Assistant:
She changed her mind on how she wants me to show her affection and love. Now she wants to leave me because of it.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [19 F] with my boyfriend [19 M] of two years, losing virginity? POST: Throwaway for obvious reasons. My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over two years. We met in high school and are each other's first everything: date, kiss, relationship, etc. Unfortunately due to long-distance (we went to different colleges after hs graduation) and a few other factors, I'm feeling it's time to bring the relationship to an end. I do still very much love and care for him, but it just isn't built to last. I'm waiting until the next time we see each other (in a few weeks) to break it off (because I think it's better to do it in person). The issue is this: we are both still virgins in the PIV sense, and though the relationship will be ending soon, I want to and am ready to lose my virginity. So I want to do it with someone I trust/someone who knows my body well. Is it okay to ask this of him? And if so, when should I bring it up? I don't want to simply have sex and then tell him it's over, because that would feel like I'm using him (and I don't think we'll have the opportunity in such a short amount of time anyway). But I don't know if he'll understand my intentions after the fact - meaning I don't want to wait years before finding someone else I'll feel comfortable enough to have sex with, but I don't know if in the time after we break up, it'll be safe to have sex without him thinking there's a possibility of relationship. My reasoning is purely "you are an extremely good friend of mine and we both know each other's bodies well enough that I think it will be healthy and beneficial for us to experience this event together before going out into the adult world alone." He's already expressed before in conversation that if we ever separated, he'd want to remain friends. At the same time, I'm not sure how he'd react to my suggestion. Knowing him as well as I do, he'd probably think it's a good idea, but I don't want to accidentally hurt him. So, advice? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Breaking up with boyfriend but still want to lose my virginity to him. Not sure if/how I should bring it up.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [24f] am having second thoughts about my relationship with [28m] together for 3months POST: I met X from an online dating site, I had just gotten out of a serious relationship and wasn't looking for anything super quick. After about 2 months of being no title etc we agreed to be "offical" which was great I really like X, but X is a tough love kind of guy. No romanace or cute little things are done, we don't go out and do things together like movies or date nights. He always says we will but then something happens and we don't. (Example on my birthday he told me we would go to the science centre. The day of he said we didn't have enough time because he had to go feed the cats and shower before we went to my parents so we'd go shoot guns instead, which we didn't do either.) I've only met two of his friends, he doesn't invite me out with them it's always "I need to see them first then I'll come over." He has no intention of spending time with my friends. Besides those things I do enjoy his company and I do like him but then Y [20m] has come along. Y texts me daily, interested in getting to know me, we have great conversations about anything and everything. I find Y attractive, but I haven't spent any time with Y because I am faithful to X. Since Y has been around my emotions for X have been up and down. More so with his lack of speaking to me (he is a busy person but lately it's gone from a good portion of the day to a few words.) I am confused about how I feel. Is Y just a temptation? Is Y filling the void I have for X? Is X worth my time? See this may seem like silly nonsense to you but I have not dated for 4 yrs so I feel like a high shool kid. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/tifu TITLE: TIFU by slapping a blind kid. POST: Throwaway because I'm an asshole. So I was on the bus the other day on my way home from work. I notice there is a large group of kids on the bus, ranging in age from 6-15. They are being loud and obnoxious, and I try to avoid sitting by them, but most of the seats on the bus are taken. I sit behind two younger kids. I recline my chair as far as it will go and try to relax, as I've had a long day at work. Suddenly, I feel a hand grabbing my knee. I open my eyes and see that the kid in front of me is reaching his hand in between the seats and touching me. He chuckles, as he says, "What is that?" I gently brush his hand off, assuming the kid just made a mistake. He's a little guy, maybe 6 or 7 years old. I continue to close my eyes and relax, when he grabs my knee again. Okay, I think to myself, this little shithead never learned to keep his hands to himself. So I start flicking his arm. "OUCH!" he exclaims, pulling his arm back in. He sticks his arm back towards me, so I start slapping his hand. Not ridiculously hard, but it wasn't a love tap. I continue to flick and slap his arm and hand as he continues to stick them through the gap between the seats. The time has come for this large group of kids to get off the bus at the stop. FINALLY. I notice an adult stand up, who I assumed to be the chaperone, and yell, "Okay kids it's our stop!" All the kids stand up, and pull out blind walking sticks and put their other hand on the shoulders of the kids in front of them. It hits me.... This poor kid that I've been flicking and slapping is blind! He had no idea what the hell was going on, he was just exploring his environment by feel. I am going to hell! TL;DR: . Assistant:
a blind kid was exploring his surroundings when he happened to touch my leg, I think he is some shithead kid, so I start flicking and slapping his arm. I am an asshole.
