Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/tifu TITLE: TIFU by starting an oil fire in my kitchen POST: This fuck up happened a couple years ago before I knew of reddit and now I feel compelled to share it. So it was new years eve and my husband and I didn't have much food in the house. So I decided to make some homemade potato chips to munch on while we watched a movie. I used a pot and heated up some oil. The chips turned out okay I can never seem to cut them thin enough. I turned off the stove and returned to the couch to watch our movie. So the kitchen in my apartment was hiding behind a corner, so there was no way we could have noticed the flames any sooner. I see a ominous orange glow coming from the kitchen so I casually walk over and turn the corner and... OH SHIT! FIRE! FIRE! I literally panic like an idiot. And thank goodness my husband was there to take care of the situation otherwise I would have surely burnt down the apartment. Turns out I hadn't turned off the burner, but had left it on the highest setting. So my husband bolts into the kitchen and grabs the pot of oil that has ignited. With some quick thinking he grabs a nearby pan and attempts to smother the flames whilst running out of the kitchen towards the door. I open the door and finally in the breezeway of the apartment complex my husband tames the fire. There was black soot coated on the vent hood of the stove and my pan was destroyed. I am just glad I didn't start the new year by burning down the apartment. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Nearly burned down the apartment on new years eve because I left a pot of oil on the burner and when I thought I turned it off it was actually on the highest setting.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me 35M with my 42F spouse of 15 years, she wants her the father of her son to stay at our house for 5 days for his graduation POST: Update: I told her yesterday that he could stay here. Thanks for the feedback everyone. I felt that my position basically came down to I don't want him to stay here because I don't want him to stay here. If I can't come up with a good reason for it and it's for a special occasion for my stepson, I should just do what's best for him. I bet it will be more uncomfortable in theory than in practice anyway. Thanks also for the replies relating past experiences from the stepson's perspective. My wife of 15 years has a 22 year old son from a previous relationship. He is graduating college this month and his dad will be visiting him from another country for 5 days. His dad travels a lot and has money for a hotel, yet my wife offered for him to sleep at my place without asking me first. She's brought up the topic 3 times and each time I've said no. I don't think she'd do anything with him or anything like that, but I also don't want somebody who was in a relationship with her in the past, even the far past, sleeping at my house when there's no real reason for it. Am I being unreasonable? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Wife wants the father of her 22 year old child to stay at our house instead of getting a hotel, which he can afford. Am I being unreasonable in saying absolutely not?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Apparently I have "one of those faces"... do I look like anyone you know? POST: So I get "do I know you from somewhere?" or "I have a friend/granddaughter/ex who looks EXACTLY like you" from strangers on a regular basis. Happened daily when I was a cashier and, you know, was forced to interact with people (hurray for social anxiety). I do realize that these could be variations of a common pick-up line, but I'm positive that that's not the case 99.9% of the time. The thing is, it drives me CRAZY, because never once has anyone produced a photograph of my supposed doppelgänger(s)... and therefore I never know how to take it. I also have no real concept of what I look like to other people; my face seems to change from mirror to mirror and picture to picture. Therefore, I'm asking you Redditors if I look like anyone you know, on the off-chance that someone can finally provide me with a photograph (with its subject's permission, of course). Do I really have a long-lost twin out there somewhere? And would I be flattered or insulted (or neutral) to find out what *she* looked like? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Reddit, a girl with a fake facebook identity is seducing unknown people on facebook for no reason. What should I do? POST: So I was added as a friend on Facebook by a girl who looked very cute, but I didn't know her. I asked how she knew me, and she said she had made a mistake, and mid apology threw in, "you look cute." Basically we texted back and forth for a few days, and she was extremely, extremely flirty. My suspicious were halted when she would talk to me for 3-4 hours a night on the phone and text me virtually all day. I was suspicious, but she had a few hundred friends, a twitter account with a bunch of followers that tweeted at her, etc. It seemed legit, but I noticed one too many red flags. Long story short, I got suspicious enough I did a few reverse image searches on Google, and sure enough she is using a fake name, has real pictures, but fake info, and has added enough friends to look legitimate. This is truly a work of art. She claimed to live about 45 minutes from me, go to my University, work in a city about an hour away, and even knew a bunch of stuff about our supposed mutual church, etc. Now I realize she lives in Texas, is in a sorority, and it's all lies. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I have her the phone number and real information of a fake girl who apparently goes way out of her way to lead people on and seduce them. What should I do? Subscribe her to cat facts?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/dating_advice TITLE: Dating a guy who was originally very attentive, then I get blown off. Why? What should I do? POST: Hi r/dating_advice, I apologize if this has come up before, but after some googling I couldn't find any good advice for my situation. I met this guy online and I've been dating him for about 3 weeks. We are casually dating, and I initially didn't want anything serious, but the more I spend time with him the more I like him. Originally, he wanted to set up dates with me no more than 1 or 2 days after we last saw each other and he was very good about texting and sending messages about when he was living from his city (we live about 20 minutes away) and when he would get to my city. Then this week on Wednesday, he suggests we hang out on Friday. I was invited to happy hour with some friends already, and so I ask if he'd like to join. He says yes. I text him the next day telling him when and where we are meeting, and just to let me know when he gets off work. I get **no reply**. This was the first warning sign. So I arrive at the place for happy hour with my friends and then I finally text him an hour into it to tell him where we are. He FINALLY texts me back an hour later saying that he has too much work and can't meet up. I was very annoyed and hurt because I felt like we were really hitting it off, and he didn't seem like the type of guy who would just blow someone off. He also texts "would I like to meet tomorrow?" I say that I am actually busy. The good thing is(1 hour later), he does apologize and acknowledge that he should have texted me earlier. I tell him that yes he should have, and that I am busy, but I will be free starting Sunday night. So far no reply. I don't really no what to think or what to do. Any insight? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/dating_advice TITLE: Freshly single - Looking to get fit and coupled. POST: The title might be a little difficult to understand, sorry. I'm a bigger guy (256 lbs) and, unfortunately, as brief as my first relationship was, I had to end it due to her complete lack of communication. So, now I want to get fit, to the point where I could be considered remotely sexy for a guy. I'm currently 22 and I'm going to a community college. The problem comes in where I also want to have a girlfriend at the same time that I'm getting fit. I've gotten slightly addicted! So, any previously heavy guys who have dated/tried to date while they were slimming down have any tips for me? I know it sounds douchey of me, but I'm not sure I can wait for months up to a year before I can get a skinnier girlfriend. Any tips or comments are appreciated. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My girlfriend of 2+ years[20 F] and I [20 M] are no longer on the same page sexually POST: As the title says, my girlfriend and I have run into some issues over the past few months. When we first started dating we had sex nearly every day, but that has dropped precipitously, to MAYBE twice a month now. Part of this is due to circumstance (we both held time-intensive internships this summer), but part is simply due to her lack of sex drive. It has gotten to the point where she almost never makes any sexual advances, and seems to have sex only to appease me. Obviously, this is not a sustainable thing for me. This a complicated, sensitive topic for her (and me) though, as she was sexually assaulted a few years ago (before we started dating), so I am hesitant to bring this up to her. We have had a couple of conversations and she assures me that she is still very much attracted to me, and loves me, but that her body just can't have sex, and she is still affected by what happened to her. She also added that at the beginning of the relationship she didn't want to say anything, but that the amount of sex we were having "was just too much for her to handle". I do believe she is still attracted to me and loves me, and everything else about our relationship is great, but I can't help feeling like we've simply turned into best friends who occasionally have sex, as opposed to romantic partners. The question here is: how do I handle this? I feel as though speaking to a psychologist might help her a bit. It's clear that she's still affected by what happened to her. I just want to go about it in the most gentle, sensitive way possible, without offending her or forcing her to re-visit things she doesn't want to. I am committed to the relationship and I want to help us, but sex is a part of that, and I feel like this is something which needs to be addressed, for her sake and mine. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Rarely have sex, having hard time bringing this up, as it is a sensitive topic for her due to a past sexual assault...

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [23F] with my ex[24M] broke up 6 months ago, want to be friends. Is this even possible? POST: My ex and I dated for 1.5 yrs. The last ".5" year was long distance. We broke up back in early January. I moved on fairly quickly, being an active, social person. He is introverted and a homebody. We have texted several times, usually talking about day-to-day stuff. We are now back in the same city for the summer and have overlapping friend groups. He thinks that I'm brushing him off and feels awkward about speaking with me. I honestly don't feel awkward at all. (But I also sometimes have the social finesse of a bull in a china shop.) He says I was his best friend for that 1.5 years and that he wants to stay friends. I'd like to be friends, but he expects me to come find him and initiate plans to hang out with him, and that because of his introverted nature, he is "not the type to make plans". I told him that's not my job and that friendship is a two-way street, that he could have shot me a text at any time to hang out. He seems also to be going through some issues like depression and whatnot. I'm just wondering - is it even possible to stay friends? If so, how? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Ex and I broke up ~6 months ago, he wants to be besties, I don't know how to manage that or if I should even try.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My boyfriend lives with a girl he used to be in a relationship with, it's making me paranoid and I don't want it to ruin the relationship. POST: I've dated him for a month now, and I managed to misplace his trust just recently because of this girl that he lives with. They dated whilst living out of home and I know very little of there past history mainly because I try to avoid information like that due to my emotions/ irrational paranoia. It's scaring me because I tell myself to not panic and to be rational, but due to the break up I took, prior, with my ex which left me depressed for a long time, I didn't want to find myself in that situation again. I don't want to lose his trust but I don't want to sacrifice my time and effort for something seemingly not worth it. If he turns his attention away from me and to her, and then finds that he doesn't need to talk to me that often, what should I think? How should I deal with it? They say that they're just friends but she gets angry when he doesn't tell her certain things about what he's doing, and he feels guilty for not telling her. Is that normal? Why am I here? Why does he want me? She seems like a nice and polite person, but no way is she honest with me. I mean, it's like I'm just getting in the way of there friendship. When they're friendship is so much closer than our relationship, then what is the point? It leaves me so paranoid and I can't go through that feeling again. What should I do? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Please help me. POST: Im not sure if this is the right place to post this, so i apologize in advance if it isnt. Alright well ill get to explaining, please dont laugh me out of this subreddit. So I work at Pizza Hut as a delivery driver, and on my last delivery i looked at the name of the person of who I was delivering to and for some odd reason i had this gut feeling that she would be highly attractive. Even though it was some asian name i couldnt even pronounce. Anyways, i get to the house and ring the doorbell a couple times a dont get an answer. So i call the number on their reciept and the girl answers and says she will come open the door. She opens the door and sure enough she is very pretty, and was around my age. (18) She greets me very warmly and smiles the whole time and I give her Her food and leave. About 4 hours later I am working out and decided to check my phone, Ten minutes earlier I had a missed call, from the number of the girl i delievered to. Im assuming it was the girl, and not the very old woman I saw in her house (looked to be her grandma) especially since it said the call was from a mobile phone. Anyway I texted her back saying hello and that i didnt hear the phone when she called. I havent got any response back. But It was almost errie how this whole thing played out, beginning with me having this gut feeling before i delivered the pizza. I really hope that I hear back from her. But if i dont, what is the best thing for me to do? Should i call her? I feel like that would maybe come off as weird. Maybe she just called me on accident or something and Im just reading way too much into this. Thank you for bearing with me, any advice is appreciated. TL;DR: . Assistant:

We decided to break up before college (we are going to be 3 hours apart) for various reasons, not wanting to be tied down and we felt that the relationship would probably end within our freshmen year. However, we both have a month left until we move in, and the thought makes me more and more upset by the day. This summer our relationship has just been amazing, emotionally and physically. The part that kills me the most is having to leave something that is making me so incredibly happy.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Boyfriend of two years [27m] and I [23f] got into such a serious fight today, cops came to the door. Help. POST: We've been together for two years. Living together for the better part of one. We've had our share of fights - our share of really bad fights. Hours long, screaming, him blocking me into a room and not letting me out, me then patently ignoring him. The biggest part of the bad stuff is the fact that for the whole first year, his ex was still on his phone plan, still way more part of the picture than I felt comfortable with - he would have me be quiet when she called so she wouldn't know he was at my place and be hurt, etc - and when I complained about these things, he basically dismissed my problems and I didn't feel like I could do anything about it. He convinced me that I was wrong, even though I felt sure I was being fucked, and I didn't have the confidence to leave. After the first year he changed heart, but I've remained bitter. He claims that during the first year I was seeing things wrong and, even though he admits he made mistakes, he said if I had just listened to him, things wouldn't have gotten so awful to start. I don't know. We go back and forth between everything being utterly wonderful - when things are good, we are each other's world. When things are bad, we scuffle physically, put holes in the wall, give each other bruises - and tonight it all got all the more real when a policewoman came to the door and said next time this happened, someone would get arrested. I don't really have any friends, I know I'm co-dependent, I'm terrified to leave, and to top it all off, I really do love him - but I can't keep doing this. I am double-majoring and planning on going to graduate school and I don't have the time or the energy, and it's breaking my fucking heart. He wants to just start over again, but my feelings will always be tinted by the way he treated me in the first year (a perception he says is somewhat mistaken). TL;DR: . Assistant:

He lived across the hall from me, and I saw him pretty much every day of my life for nine months. We were good friends first semester, then got really really close second semester. We tell each other everything. He would tell me about his family life, struggles with his ex, etc, and I would do just the same. We're entirely honest with each other, and there's this level of comfort and easiness about the relationship that makes the friendship so much different than any other friendships I've had. So the school year ended and I live out of state, so I hadn't seen him in person since I left school. I started to notice some feelings, but I was certain that it was a misplaced sense of missing him. Recently he came to visit for the weekend, and I knew. I realized I had had feelings for him for a long time, but that I had just been ignoring and/or burying them. In the interest of honesty, I told him. He didn't say much, but it went over okay. He said it doesn't change anything, and that he's my friend, and that our relationship means a lot to him. I'm okay with being his friend, but why do I feel so horrible? What should I do? It's not like any other "crush" or anything, where if it doesn't work I can just stop seeing the person, because he's my best friend. He's the person I go to. He means so much to me, and I feel horrible inside. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: Being a Redditor, i tend to pick up links a full 24-48 hours before my friends do (read: i probably spend too much time on the internet). However, some of these friends like to take these pictures and post it on their Facebook profiles claiming ownership for the picture, or leaving an open connotation that it is possibly theirs. For example, many of the text message logs from iPhones shore up on my friend's wall, as if he is involved in many of these text conversations themselves. I recently took action and called him out on it, but was it fair? Is it okay to rain on other people's parades and their lesser understanding of memes and other internet culture, or just sit back and pretend that they know what theyre doing. Another somewhat aggravating situation i find myself in is people using 'trolled' incorrectly. They throw the trolling meme everywhere like its sparkly glitter, when it is obvious they are using it incorrectly. Its frustrating, but i dont want to sound condescending when i correct them.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [27F] with my friend [27M] of couple months, should I be excited? POST: So, made a new friend a couple months ago. Been getting to know this guy pretty well and have really been enjoying spending time with him. From the beginning, he made it clear he wasn't looking for a relationship (with anybody) due to an anticipated career change that could take him out of the state. I think that's fine since I'm not really looking for a relationship either. We've progressively been spending more and more time together the last few weeks and I've been comfortable enough to open up about some pretty difficult stuff to him. This man makes me laugh so hard. He's incredibly intelligent, we pretty much finish each others' sentences, and he's the first guy to come along who has invested time in genuinely becoming my friend without trying to get in my pants shortly after. He recently invited me to come to his family's Thanksgiving AND Christmas dinners. Along with this, there was mention of "wanting to stay in the area" as far as new job/career. He messages me on a daily basis and would have gladly come over for the fourth night in a row tonight to hang out had I not been completely exhausted. I'm struggling because 1.) I'm starting to like this guy, a lot 2.) this whole being friends first thing is foreign territory to me 3.) what if talking to him results in him not feeling mutually? I'm feeling my self-sabotage kicking in. Should I take the invitations for the holidays and behavior as a hint that he might be feeling something more than a friendship? I don't want to blow this. He's absolutely amazing. People, I secretly do a happy dance every time he gets turned down for jobs out of state or that are far away because that means I get to spend a little more time with him before he goes away for good. I want the best for him though, no matter wherever life takes him. I know I need to talk to him, but I don't know how to even begin the conversation. I've never been in a situation like this before. Help! Any advice would be welcome. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: Birthdays have always been hard on my girlfriend. She's had a few parties as a child where no one showed up, and since moving states in the middle of high school she hasn't made close friends. Here at college, she tries hard to make friends. She talks well to people on a superficial basis but doesn't have any real friends. She's never been invited to a college party and has often missed out on many typical activities. We've been together for 3 years, since freshman orientation. I don't have friends but I'm happy that way. I like keeping to myself if I'm not spending time with her. Since she's naturally extroverted, she spends her free time with me, or at club meetings trying to connect to people. She's asked if I could put together a small party so I invited some acquaintances, my roommates, etc. everyone said no. I gave the invites well in advance too. I don't know how to break the news to my girlfriend, she's been so excited. She thought providing free food and drink would be a great way to make friends.

POST: Samsung recently started a promotion to receive a year of free Netflix when you buy one of their qualifying devices. I've been looking into the Galaxy Tab S for a while now, so I finally took the plunge and ordered it from Samsung's official storefront on Amazon. Upon receiving the package, I entered the required info on the promo website and was told that my serial number is not valid. I hopped on the live chat support and spoke with a customer service representative. He informed me that despite ordering the device in the US and having it shipped to my home in the US, from Amazon's US WEBSITE, that I was somehow shipped an international version and therefore do not qualify for the promotion. The thing is, however, I have read through the official terms and conditions from top to bottom and nowhere in there does it say it must be a US device. It DOES say that I must be a legal US resident, which I am; living in Boston, Massachusetts. I have spoken to 4 representatives now who refuse to let me speak to a supervisor. I have been provided a number for Prize Logic, who is running the promotion, but discovered upon calling it that my only option is to leave them a message. Is there any sort of legal action I can take against them for violating the policies which they have set forth? TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: Our strength has never really been our physical/sexual chemistry, but I've always thought of that part of relationships as being the least important, and what we have had has been passable. However, lately the physical/sexual side of things has decreased even further, and it now feels more and more like a companionship kind of relationship more than romantic. Other aspects of the relationship (intellectual, emotional chemistry, etc.) all continue to be the highest I've ever experienced. But I'm coming to the conclusion now that the physical/sexual is still a necessary prerequisite for any relationship, so it seems inevitable to me that we will break up. Since realizing this I have been feeling incredibly guilty. She remains my closest friend and my favorite person in the world, so I desperately don't want to hurt her, but now that I've become more certain that we won't make it long term, I feel like I need to end it asap to avoid wasting her time, since neither of us are getting any younger.

I've been assured that i won't be staying with him and that I won't be riding with him in the car on the way there. I don't know how my boyfriend is going to react to me asking him. He's a pretty jealous person, especially over my exes. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I guess my question is: Would you be okay with your girlfriend going to South Padre alone with a group of her friends, including her ex boyfriend?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My coworker [22 M] and I [21 F] have been hooking up consistently for almost three years. POST: Not a very interesting story, but it's been confusing enough for me to post, and I don't know where to go from here. My coworker and I have been hooking up consistently for about three years now, even when we would be somewhat seeing or interested in other people (though haven't dated anyone else.) We've never really talked about it, but we're really close and spend time hanging out together (going hiking, going to parties, etc.) but we've never considered dating (at least I haven't.) The other night we were walking home from a party and things got heated and then he stopped and said that we should talk soon and that he was "thinking of me differently." We haven't talked about it sense but yesterday while we were leaving work he said "I love you," while we were saying goodbye and hugged me for an unusual amount of time, and that was somewhat atypical though it didn't seem super serious. I'm just really confused because this has been happening for so long but when we're around each other it's like nothing has really changed. Not sure what to make of that night or what to expect. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My ex (F/24) and I (F/23) broke up a year ago because she cheated after 2.5 years together. Now she's come back into contact and I would appreciate advice. POST: I will keep this brief as I can. We were together 3^^(ish) years (lived together for 2), but the last 7 months were pretty shitty. Standard story - she met someone else and was hiding it. Every time I questioned it she would twist it round to be my fault. I was paranoid/clingy/didn't want her to have other friends. I ended up being quite sick because of constant anxiety, but she didn't stop. Eventually of course it all came out and we broke up, but had to live out the rest of our shared lease...which was not fun at all. She didn't show any remorse and continued seeing this other girl, even though she had a gf. After our lease ran out I moved to another country (1000 miles away) to get away and get a fresh start and began cutting her out my life. It's been 7 months now since I saw her, and 5 months since we last had contact. But this week she sent an email saying she started counselling 3 months ago and is in a completely different place and realises how she acted like a prick and would like to talk, even if meant travelling to my country to do so. I agreed. And she's coming next weekend to talk. But now I have no idea what to do. Can people really work past this sort of thing? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Seeing Ex for the first time in 7 months to talk. Now confused how I feel about the situation. Would like advice/anecdotes on people who have gotten back with cheating exes.

(x-post r/relationships) POST: I (22 F) have been with my boyfriend (20 M) for about a year. Recently, we have been talking and he is starting to feel emotionless (says he can't control it and doesn't know anything that will help make it go away) and told me he wants to give our relationship some time to see if things can improve before we end up breaking up. Ever since we've had this talk (about a week ago), I have been feeling very out-of-sorts. I have put a lot of effort into this relationship and I love him and don't want to end it. I can't help but be paranoid all the time that he is going to break up with me and worry about our relationship. So I ask, first: what are some things that he can do to avoid losing all emotions and become (basically) a hermit, and then end up shutting me out of his life? Second: How can I stop worrying that this is definitely going to happen? I literally can't stop thinking about it and it has been interfering with my daily life. I find myself feeling nauseous, don't want to eat, getting headaches, and even just breaking down and crying. I don't want to feel this way anymore but I don't want to lose him either. It won't make me feel any better to end it with him. I truly think he is something special and we have never had any major problems in our relationship.... Please help! TL;DR: . Assistant:
Boyfriend of a year is shutting me out accidentally and wants to see where the relationship goes before breaking up. I can't stop worrying and it is making me sick. I want to help him but I don't want to lose him

I've been on airplanes 6 times prior to yesterday, and never had an issue. Yesterday I took 2 airplanes... One from NY to Atlanta, Georgia. Then again from Georgia to Guatemala. When I was boarding the 2nd plane, before it took off, 2 drops of blood fell from my nose... I pulled my head up and it went away. At the end of the 3 hour flight, when I bent over to get my carry on bag, my nose just started pouring blood quickly. My clothes were damaged, my hand was literally covered in red, and it made a scene as everyone saw what happened.Also later on that night, more than 12 hours after flight, and after 5 or so hours of sleep I bled again, but only a bit.

We get on really well and he always makes me smile but lately he's been going through a hard time and although I have tried (and i believe generally succeeded in) being supportive I find it really hard to do, hes changed, become a lot more vulnerable and dependent and a bit more cynical (or maybe i just didn't notice the cynicism before?). I find myself missing the single life and our relationship (at least on my side) become more and more just about being sexual than the connection we used to have. I tried ending things recently (a bit spur of the moment after too many drinks) but once sober we talked a lot and decided to stay together as I do have a lot of feelings for him still and would miss him a lot. A lot of little things have also started bugging me when I know they shouldn't. I have generally quit in relationships in the past when things got hard and have been trying not to do this as again. He is quite insecure at the moment and feels like he doesn't deserve me so i find it hard to discuss things at times, though I think hes noticed I'm pulling away from him. My question is should I just stop being selfish and try to be more supportive? Or was I right to try and end things? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Let's call her Carly. We aren't directly in any same friend groups so the only time we ever see eachother is during class. We have the occasional class-related chat and a few jokes here and there, but mostly we don't talk. (We're both pretty quiet, but she's shy) The part where it gets complicated is here, she has a best friend who i'm closer with, and we talk a bit. Let's call her Jen. All three of us are in the same class, and Jen speaks her mind quite often. Going on for about 2 weeks now, Jen says Carly and I would be a perfect couple. (Mind you all three of us are in audible whisper range) Jen says it quite loudly, and I know Carly acknowledges it but doesn't say anything and neither do I, pushing it aside as a tease. Coincidentally, and neither of them know them know i'm interested in Carly - or at least I think so. Now given the circumstance, i'm not extremely close with Jen, we talk about general things and have a lot of mutual friends, but i've never talked to her about relationships or any "internal" things before. I could directly ask her, but i'm trying to avoid things from getting too awkward, considering Jen and Carly are best or at least really close friends. As I said, Carly is extremely shy so approaching her would make her or both of us uncomfortable. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/legaladvice TITLE: [FL] Driving on a suspended license POST: This is my first post so if I leave any information out please let me know and I will update asap. Earlier today I was pulled over for driving on a suspended license. I was unaware of this as I had renewed my registration a month ago and only had an issue with an unpaid toll. The officer withheld my license and allowed my sister who was a passenger to drive us home (to which I am very thankful for, I am pretty sure I could have been arrested). I was given a ticket with a court date for driving with knowledge on a suspended license - 322.34(2). Upon arriving home I went online to determine the cause of this and found that I was given a red light violation ticket in February of this year. I had no idea this happened and contacted the Clerk office for that county immediately and found that I had not updated my address and as far as I can see the notices were being sent to an old address. During the conversation with the Clerk's office I found out that the vehicle that was photographed and ticketed belonged to my best friend who I had co-signed the car with. From what I recall I was the primary on the registration so his ticket violation was sent to me and was counted against my license. I have contacted an attorney, but I am hoping to avoid becoming a hypochondriac by reading too much into the potential consequences as I am no expert in this and this is my first real encounter with the law. Tomorrow morning I will be going to the DMV to pay the ticket and reinstate my license, but my main question is how badly could it go on my court date later this month? I am under no illusion that I will need to hire an attorney as this is considered a criminal offense. TL;DR: . Assistant:
1. Vehicle that was ticketed for red light violation was a co-signed car that I was not in. Happened in February

POST: So my wife and I are high income earners - but we come from humble backgrounds, so only on rare occasion do we buy each other expensive gifts. For example, her engagement ring was $36,000.00 - but her Christmas gift last year was $300.00. Most of our gifting for each other's birthday's and christmas's are in the $300 - $500 range. On rare occasion, we will buy more expensive gifts. So this year, my wife, for her birthday, wanted a full day spa retreat. Thus, for her birthday gift, I bought her a full day spa retreat package - last about 8 hours - cost of $400.00 before tip (which of course, I will pay). As her birthday approaches, my wife has been also been dropping hints that she has been eyeing a particular designer bag. So my question is simple - what are my wife's birthday expectations? Is she expecting the purse in addition to the spa retreat? Or is she just letting me know for perhaps valentine's day? I just want to make sure I don't let her down. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: Just the day before, I got a call from a guy named Jared, referred to me by my dad. I usually take care of the secretarial shit for my dad's business. Jared told me that our restaurant got picked for one of the bests in the city, and he wanted to set up an interview. He told me he has picked many candidates, and he will notify me if our restaurant gets selected. He told me the interview process was about 30 minutes long, and I just needed an internet connection to share a screen with him. I missed our first appointment because of a class, called him, he said he had no more appointment slots available but immediately. I found a computer in a hurry at the university library even though I needed to go to work. Being published as one of the bests is a good news, so I made time for this guy, even though I'm going through midterm season. We share screens with join.me, and what he has for me is a fucking powerpoint presentation. He worked for a start-up called SinglePlatform, and was presenting me shit on how important menus are to a restaurant and the services they offer. All while he has convinced my dad that we're picked as one of the best restaurants in the city, need to go through a selection progress, and might end up paying if we are selected. I googled his company, told him about the package his company offered, called bullshit on his bullshit, and cut the session short. TL;DR: . Assistant:

I broke up with my girlfriend of 8 months who is a single mother to a 9 year old. I feel absolutely terrible for a few reasons. The main one being I was a coward and never told her that I was starting to not feel the same way about her as she did me, or discuss things about the relationship I wanted to change with her. So the break up came out of the blue for her but for me I had been going over it in my head for about a month. Now I feel sad, upset and miss her which I hadn't felt for a month. Is it just me being to nice and not wanting to have caused someone grief? I guess since I made the decision I have to live with it and let her go. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/Advice TITLE: I might be falling for my best friend, but I have a boyfriend? POST: First things first, I love my boyfriend to death, and I would never, ever, ever cheat on him. We've been together for over a year now, and I can sincerely say that I deeply care about him. We don't share the same outlook and we may ague sometimes, but it's fine. There seems to be a small problem with us not being fully honest with each other, which kind of bugs me. Then I have a best friend. We've been friends for three years now. We share the same outlook, expect the same things from relationships, and we are completely comfortable with being fully honest with each other. He's witty, kind, and endlessly entertaining. Due to timing conflicts, I've been spending more time with my best friend than my boyfriend, and for the past 6 (maybe 7) months, I have started to feel very drawn to my best friend. I dismissed it as a passing crush at first, but the fact I haven't been able to shake it off for 7 months is extremely annoying. My boyfriend has expressed jealousy for my friend in the past, even going as far as saying shit like: "Well, why don't you go date {best friend} then, huh?" So a part of me knows he's slowly picking up on it. I don't want to make my boyfriend miserable, he truly does not deserve it, but I don't want to walk out of my relationship for something like this. Keep in mind, my best friend is 8 years older than me (I'm 20), so that's another thing that holds me back from pursuing anything further, as he said over a year ago that "I was too young for him". Despite this, we see eye to eye in many, many things, and we do seem to care deeply about each other. Ideally, I would be able to shake off my feelings for my best friend. I would never act upon this as: a) I adore my boyfriend despite our conflicts, though we've been growing apart lately. b) I don't want to fuck up my best, most stable friendship. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I'm falling for my best friend, but I love my boyfriend too much to do anything about it. Also, I'm a pussy. Help.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I [18F] need to leave my abusive ex [25M]. POST: We started our relationship last October, but it quickly turned to shit. What was supposed to be a carefree relationship became forceful, angry, and sometimes abusive. There have been many occasions of him forcing himself on me, yelling at me and making me scared by putting his hands around my neck, etc. But when he's not angry or aggravated he's actually the most intelligent person I've ever met. He's also very empathetic and calm. It's just when I set him off he would really, **really** blow up. I finally made up my mind and left him a little over two months ago, but he's recently been trying to get back into my life. I couldn't resist. I've started seeing him and sleeping with him again. I always insist on using protection, but he constantly tries to manipulate me into letting him enter me without one. Sometimes he tries to pry my legs open. The last straw was when I found some child pornography on his computer. It was frightening, and I couldn't understand how somebody could be this cruel. I'm disgusted with myself for being with somebody like this. Here's the catch: it's not easy for me to leave him because I don't have many friends. I don't have friends at all. He is my **only** friend. My worsening anxiety and depression has caused my friends to withdraw from me, so I can't get any external support. None from my family, either- it is already dysfunctional. Basically the main things I need help with are my conflicting feelings regarding this person and myself- I feel disgusted with him for being a rapist and watching/enjoying child porn, but I also hate myself for having such deep feelings for someone like this. Secondly is leaving him behind myself, because I don't have friends and I don't plan on getting any external help. I need to really, **really** leave him myself. TL;DR: . Assistant:
My feelings for my sexually and physically abusive ex boyfriend are preventing me from leaving him, and are starting to cause me to deeply resent myself.

POST: Me: 21 M, Her: 21 F, Relationship: 6 Months Hey all, just wanted a bit of advise as I'm really not sure what's up really. Lately things have been feeling like they've been going a bit stale. I'll keep this short and sweet. For about a month we didn't see each other much. First she was sick, then I was sick, then I was bombarded with the last couple of stressful weeks of university trying to get all my work in on time. This was when things started to feel off, naturally, as we went from seeing each other at least every other day to seeing each other once a week if we were lucky. Now that we're getting to see each other more (it's been about 2 weeks of this now) it's been feeling stale, mainly when we're together at my house watching a movie or the usual activities of derping around the house doing stuff. When we're out with friends or out doing something together everything is amazing and feels great, it's just when we're sitting together in my house. Maybe I'm just sick of sitting around my house after the amounts of uni work I had to do while sitting stressing out for weeks? Anyways, I don't want to break up with her because I know that I still love her. Yeah, 6 months may seem to soon to be saying the "L" word to some people (by the way it's mutual and we've both said it), but I don't ever expect people to understand my own relationships when they're not the one involved in them. So yeah, I was just wondering if anyone here has any advise or insight as to what is going on. Am I just in a rut? Am I being an idiot? She's an amazing girl and I've never been happier in a relationship. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Relationship feels stale, may be in rut, need advice on what is wrong and how to personally work on things as it's only my problem really.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Should people get extra time for university examinations because of disabilities like ADD? POST: Do you think that schools should accommodate people with disabilities like ADD when they are writing examinations with things like extra time or open book exams? Should there be any safeguards put in place? How much privacy is the student requesting the accommodation entitled to? I am asking this because there is a general debate going on in my school regarding rumours of accommodation that some other students are receiving. The rumour is that one student receives additional time and gets to write an open book exam. Our school is also anonymous with exams, so these exams go back into the global pile and the professor has no idea who has or has not received accommodation. It could be possible for this person to write thousands of additional words. The rumour is also that this person receives outstanding grades. It is also important to note that we are marked on a curve for the class of 160, and the job market is very competitive, so that is where there is this debate. One faction of the debate argues that for the type of degree we are obtaining, you really cannot be unable to work under time and pressure constraints. There is unlikely to be this type of accommodation in the workplace, so is the school setting these students up for failure by allowing them to get degrees in a field that they won't be able to work in? One faction of the debate argues that there are serious barriers in education systems for people with disabilities. Furthermore, examinations often have little correlation to actual abilities anyways, so the entire degree is arbitrary and there is no point even debating the issue. I'm not asking specifically about whatever policies your university or jurisdiction has regarding accommodation (but the discussion could go there). What is your reaction regarding the fairness and equity for accommodation, considering the perspectives of those who claim disabilities and also the class at large. TL;DR: . Assistant:
What is your reaction to people being accommodated in university? Is this fair to the other students? Should there be more accommodation?

I know she's still very immature and I need to let her do some growing up before I think about trying to get back together with her although thats what I really want The problem is she wants us to be best friends again and as much as I want her to be part of my life I don't know that I can go back to being just her friend It's been really hard because I feel like I've lost my girlfriend and my best friend because she was the first person I'd ask whenever I wanted to do something TL;DR: .

But I kind of want to stop being friends but don't want to hurt his feelings. POST: So a little over two weeks ago, my friend got upset with me because I preordered movie tickets, you can [Read more about that here] but basically, my step dad wanted me to preorder our tickets and then tell him where they are so him and his uncle can preorder the seats beside us, he ended up telling me I was rude and such and I got pretty upset about it as well. We have been having really stupid arguments for the last few months and I'm kind of sick of it, so I figure that even though he is my only friend (he doesn't know this, but he says I'm his only friend he can really hang out with), it's best to just end things. Now yesterday he texted me saying "Hey shelcod" and I stupidly replied back with "Hey" because I was curious as to what he would say. He ended up asking to get together to talk face to face and I told him I am unavailable until next week. Now the thing is I have thought about it more and realize that no matter how I tell it to him, it will end up hurting his feelings and I don't want to make anyone sad. So I've come up with 3 ideas. Would it be better if I just disappeared and said nothing more to him, should I tell it to his face, or should I go and make up with him and then just casually blow off all communication? TL;DR: .

I'd like to ask her out, but I fear that I'd be overlooking the lack of physical attraction simply because I'm lonely. I don't want to start something and then find out later that it won't work because I can't see her that way, and hurt her in the process. Am I being shallow? Advice? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Reddit, will you help me make a March Madness Tournament for charity? POST: For years, my dad would run the office pool for March Madness. Though it was a casual office activity with a low $5 or $10 buy-in, he would wake up every morning to listen to the radio to record the results and score each bracket by hand. There are websites that do all the work for you now, but he was a purist. This past tournament was his last bracket, as he passed away from cancer in April. I'd love to remember him by having a bracket tournament in his honor. My idea is to have a $5 entry fee and have half the money go towards the prize pool and the other half go towards a cancer research charity (suggestions for which one is best would be appreciated, I was thinking JimmyV.org since he was a basketball coach). I wanted to host it with his at least former coworkers, but they work for a newspaper in Germany, so the number of potential participants is dwindling. It would be more lucrative if more people from around the world were involved. Where should I start? What should I do to host the brackets? Am I allowed to do this, or is it considered gambling? I'm sure I can find out a lot of this through research, but I trust the results of Reddit collaboration better. Please help me. Thanks Reddit! TL;DR: . Assistant:

We've been talking for about 3 weeks now and things are going pretty smoothly. He's nice, funny, and really sweet. Although I only see him on the weekends (he has a curfew), he goes out of his way just to make me happy and does the sweetest gestures. Anyways, he's going to be stationed in Italy for 2 year within the next 3 weeks. He asked me to be his girlfriend but I'm not sure what to do. He's never had a real girl friend so I'm worried that he won't accept me for who I am but rather the idea of who I could be. Plus, long distance will be very hard because I feel like the only way long distance works is with a strong foundation and we don't have that yet.

Please help POST: I dated a girl (22) for a year and a half. We split in summer because I moved to Florida for summer. She got a job in Panama city, right when I came home from Florida. I'll spare the details but she met up with a boy who she met after knowing on the Internet for 6 years. He lived 3.5 hours away from her. The day they met in real life he asked her out. She said yes. Fast forward 1 month... he moved in with her and they say I love you to eachother and I only found this out after creeping on her tumblr. Big mistake. But she'll text me every fucking week trying to be friendly I want nothing to do with her. But I still love her and haven't moved on. I was hoping she would eventually come back up to philly and we would work on things. Because I thought her behavior was extreme and just a front and irrational. How could a relationship with a stranger from the Internet work when he lives 3.5 hours away? Well after two or three weeks they live together and say I love you to eachother.

My uncle was a very funny, intelligent man who I always got along with but within the last three years of his life, we had a disagreement that we worked out but I just felt that it wasn't the same between us after, even though my Mom (his sister) helped to work out with him and I. My mom is the only person left from her family as her brother and parents have all passed on. Shortly after my Uncle passed away, I moved three hours away for a new job. I also list my dog of fourteen years one night when she became very sick and had to be put to sleep quickly so she wouldn't be in pain. When I moved away, I moved away from my parents who have become my best friends in my adult life and I also moved away from my boyfriend of then a year and a half, so we are now doing a long distance relationship.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Something to keep my mom busy? POST: Long Backstory: My mom's best friend died about six months ago, our 12 year old Sheltie. About a month ago, she decided she was ready to get a new dog, so we adopted a beagle/pug mix puppy. Between getting up at 5a.m. to go to school, studying/doing homework, working out, and having a social life, I didn't have much time to help take care of it. My mother and second eldest sister are both disabled, so they can't work, and were suppose to take care of the dog that *they* wanted. Between them two, and my eldest sister, who is a home-health-aid for my mom and lives with us, she apparently was too much to handle, and I was harrased by them to help more, even though I didn't have too much time. They also didn't consider the fact that I'm alergic to dogs, and could hardly touch her. Anyway, the dog was always biting my hands, but no one cared... until she bit my eldest sister. They just returned her because of this, and my mom is upset... because, even how much she complained about it, she loved the dog. My eldest sister's cat absolutely loves my mom, and is always cuddling with her and not my sister, which also causes problems, but that is apparently not good enough. She is now mad at *me* for not helping out, even though I'm alergic to dogs and break out whenever one scratches/bites me, something the dog was notorious/returned for. I know I went on a tangent there, but I'm trying to ask, what are some things that will keep my mom busy? TL;DR: . Assistant:

My roommate heard all this and called the cops, I was fast asleep in my bed on the opposite side of the house. So I woke up at 3:30 am with an officer shinning a light in my face and asking who I was and if I had been drinking, then two more officers came in my room and started looking in the closet, under the bed, etc. In my sleepy state I somehow put together that it was April 1st and that this must be a prank (Totally within the realm of possibility with my friends) so I started to chuckle and said "Bullshit!" and pointed at the cop asking me things. He asked me to step outside in my undies and gave me a field sobriety test and then questioned me some more. Couldn't sleep the rest of the night and then had an early class and a fun story. TL;DR: .

What can I do POST: I need advice suggestions, anything that could help me help him out. For the story's sake we shall call my brother Taylor. Here is the backstory. Firstly we in no way have a hard home life however Taylor was simply unable to deal with the rules that my mum laid down so he left. Taylor is screwing up his life badly he has not lived at home since NYE and this does not look like changing anytime soon. He currently lives with his friend and between them they have managed to stir up alot of trouble with the cops. For obvious reasons I will not go into depth of what they have been up to however from what I know it includes, Drug possession, use and distribution, Theft, breaking and entering and fighting. There may be more but I am unsure. On top of this he is involved in a gang whose 'leader' is supposedly going to jail soon. Taylor believes he can take over this gang while their 'leader' is in jail. He has also been caught stealing food from his school last monday and was suspended. When my mum went in for an interview with the school (3rd one he has been enrolled at) the cops came and discussed/told my mum the majority of this. I literally could not think of a worse way to find out this information. It is their belief that he is going down soon and he is going to crash and burn. On top of all this my dad past away on 31/3 last year and my brother did not even attempt to contact us or come to a family barbecue we were having for the 1 year anniversary of this (event?) So tell me reddit what can I do to help my brother, with my family, to keep him out of trouble with the cops, and to just generally get his life back on track. Please feel free to ask any questions about anything that you are unsure of as there is a multitude of other information I can offer but cannot be bothered to think of and write off the top off my head.

We got together in secret, as he lives with his older sister who I work with and it would be a messy situation if she were to find out. I am heading off to university next week, and we've been talking about how we'll keep seeing each other (or not) since the drive is nearly 7 hours long. We've decided that we'll still continue the secret relationship and Skype and whatnot unless I find a new relationship at school. He's completely open to me dropping this relationship while I'm at school and move on to "bigger and better things," but says I cannot tell him because he'll feel upset. I feel like we've really grown attached to each other in the last while and really want the best for each other, but we both have a hard time letting go of it. I told him I'm happy with what we've got going on and I have no intentions to change it at the moment, and he's rather conflicted with it. He cannot have a real relationship with me due to the older sister and my age, and we're both stuck on what to do. He's even offered to come visit me every couple weeks, but I've told him that's way too much of a hassle for him and I can't let him go such a long way just to have a couple rounds in bed and drive back home.

I've read through a number of the posts here and have found some really great information about student loans and good ways to handle them and such, but nothing that answers my direct question: I have a number of federal student loans across two different servicing companies: NelNet for the subsidised ones and ACS with all my unsubsidized ones(originally serviced through Wells Fargo). - NelNet is, by far, the easier site/company to work with. They let me break down my different loans with them to apply additional payments specifically to the loan I want, and show me exactly what my interest rate on each loan is. - ACS, on the other hand, shows me the cumulative sum of the amount I owe, and gives me the rate I need to pay them based off this, also telling me I have "mixed" interest rate (some are variable, some fixed, but they don't show me which loan has how much money still owed and at what interest rate). - I have looked at the Federal Loan Consolidation program, and noticed that when I was looking at my options, that I was able to see the breakdown of my loan amounts serviced through ACS, and noticed that I can move my consolidated loan over to NelNet as a servicer. My question is two parts: - Am I able to just transfer all my loans from one servicer to another and have them be individual loans still? - IF NOT, would I be able to "consolidate" my loans from ACS one at time, and transfer them over to NelNet? Or would it have to be in one big lump sum (a real consolidation)? I'm not trying to get a better interest rate, really even, more just trying to make it easier for me to engage in "snowball" type divide and conquer finance tactics. Also, NelNet's interface/customer service is MILES and above better than ACS (seriously, it took 8 attempts online & 4 phone calls to get my address updated!) TL;DR: . Assistant:

He lives in Glasgow, Scotland, and I live on the east coast of the US. We voice chat most days, but often it seems like I dominate the conversations, and if I don't, there's a lot of silence. He's a very emotionally pent-up guy, and especially from a distance (we're aiming to meet in person next spring, as money constraints got in the way of it happening this summer), it's hard for me to gauge what he's feeling. He really hates discussing emotional stuff, so I try not to ask about it. Basically, I'm a giant blob of insecurity and sometimes I worry that he may not really be happy in this relationship and is just sparing my feelings or something.

POST: There's a bit of backstory to this, but essentially, my parents found out that I have been partying at college. When I was living with them at home I was always pretty good about following the rules and they never found out anything. I always thought they would put two and two together and realize that it's college, it's to be expected. Unfortunately this was not the case. I was at a party and got roofied, but made it back to my dorm okay. My roommate found me and called for help thinking I was blackout drunk. This led to me having a follow up meeting about what happened at school, but also to a letter being sent home to my parents. Anticipating the letter, I decided to talk to my parents in person. I knew there was no way I could tell them what really happened, my parents honestly wouldn't be able to handle it. So I told them I was at a party where everyone got in trouble because of one person. I told them I had had two drinks that night and spoke to emt's about the one person who got sick. They believed me, but absolutely freaked out. My parents are very religious and strict but I'm an adult now and they have a hard time with this. All I can think is how I can never tell them the truth and it's such a burden. They're already so upset with me and are trying to contact my school to get a full incident report of what happened. If they see the incident report they're going to know what I told them is bs and I have no idea how to handle that because the truth will break their hearts. Note: I'm the oldest child and turned 18 a few weeks before leaving for school. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: Hello, this is my second serious relationship and I was cheated on in the first. It really got me down, and hurt my self-esteem. Now, there have been 3 instances where I have shown my current partner my "real" personality. First I asked her to show me a convo of her and her ex because I was scared. She did and was surprised I asked her to. Next, I wanted to see the same conversation for a stupid reason. We were discussing who texted whom first and I asked to see the same text from the same time in the first reason. I selfishly thought that since it was already in the open it was fair game for me to invade that space again. In the moment I didn't think about this but she felt it was the same way. And now recently I asked her a question about a friend she has. I asked her about him and if they had a romantic past. She seemed very disappointed and said she had already told me no (but I had forgotten). She said, "What? do you think I have a secret boyfriend or something?" I asked her right when I dropped her off and she was late to be home, and said we'd talk about it the next day. It's been 2 days and we have not talked about it but have been hanging out consecutively since I last asked her. But everything has been normal and we're very loving towards each other. We've built our relationship strong and right from the start, we are very fond of one another. She is the type of girl that won't give her attention to anyone and I'm lucky and grateful to have it. Now how do I make her feel like I trust her. I know she feels, even slightly, like I don't trust her and am a ticking time-bomb of jealousy. Do we just move on like nothing ever happened? Or should I bring it up and be like, "listen I feel bad about bringing your friend up and I want you to know that I love you and trust you." Maybe even suggest that I wouldn't have a problem with them hanging out or whatever? Let me know what you guys think, thanks! TL;DR: . Assistant:

We live at Lake Berryessa in Napa ca. We had traveled down to Putah Creek and started at the bottom of a ~300 foot dam drain into the creek. This was our first mistake. I had 0 experience. I literally had gone in the water 10 minutes before and learned how to turn. So here we are thinking I am ready and we set off around the first bend. Easy enough, I had a slow current going. I can handle this I thought to myself. Then things changed, and quickly. The slow current became wild and I quickly found myself in much deeper shit than imagined, I panicked trying to avoid some trees and got turned around. Now I am going down rapids backwards with zero experience. I hit a tree that is 75% submerged so basically I hit the tippy top of a full grown underwater tree and instantly got tangled in the branches. my kayak began getting pushed under water deeper into the branches while simultaneously it began to flip upside down, so now my heads getting pushed under water and the current is pushing me to the center of the tree. Nearly drowned within 10 minutes of my first kayaking experience, I ended up hulk gripping all branches near me and climbed the tree to safety. After that I now have a semi serious fear of rapid waters. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Wall of text incoming. As the title says, I got earlier today in a fight with one of my best and closest friends, lets call her Julie. Julie and I have been friends for several months, being really close to each other and talking about everything almost everyday. As all friends we use some humour and memes and the like to keep laughing a lot of the time. She suffers from depression and anxiety so I try to keep her distracted as much as possible, sometimes she is a bit angry or distant and I know that I should keep my distance. We had arguments before, mostly because one of us says something and it's missinterpreted by the other one, leading to discussions but usually settle down by talking about it. However today was the exception, we were talking as usual and we started talking about gold diggers in relationships (because of a meme), and she said something like "I'm going to get rich and pay a man to be with me" and we laughed at it, she suggested an actor for what she said "He wouldn't even notice me, he only likes supermodels" so I said, as a joke of course, "Use your money to get a dream body and then he'll have no choice". I thought we were joking so didn't make a deal out of it, however she did. She replied "That hurts! I don't want to be your friend anymore, if you think I'm a gold digger, you are wrong!" and she proceeded to block me everywhere. I sent her an old-school sms trying to apologize but got no response. I was thinking on calling her, but don't know if that's a good idea. Do you think there's still hope for saving the friendship? or shall I assume I've lost her? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Made a comment thinking we were joking, friend took it too serious, doesn't want to be my friend anymore, don't know what to do.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [38 M] with my wife [40 F] 20 years together, 6 abortions. POST: My wife and I have been together for 20 years and we are childfree. My wife has had 6 abortions in the years we have been together. I am staunchly pro-choice. But even I think that 6 abortions is excessive. It's an unnecessary expense, and also a *medical procedure* that comes with risks. I know that birth control fails sometimes, but my wife is very irresponsible about birth control in general. We use condoms usually but she is often forgetful about taking her birth control. The first two times were just mistakes. We had unprotected sex and the other was after a night of drinking and partying. Both times we forgot to use condoms. The third time we were very careful about using birth control. Or at least, *I* was. She said she stopped taking her pills because she wanted to lose 10 lbs before we went for our vacation in Perth…and she didn't even tell me. I'm not sure if she takes her birth control at the same time every day, because I trust her to and checking everyday seems controlling and unnecessary to me. Since then, we have had three more unexpected pregnancies. I have brought up getting a vasectomy but she said she doesn't want me to get one. Tubal ligation? She also refused that as she doesn't want to go for elective surgery. IUD? No, she doesn't want anything invasive or anything stuck on her uterus. She doesn't want to try other, possibly more effective forms of birth control like the Depo shot. I'm seriously getting really annoyed at this point. I definitely support her choice to terminate the pregnancy 100% but I think it could be prevented if she would be more responsible about taking her pills. Should I just go ahead and get a vasectomy without her consent? How can I convince her to try other birth control methods that won't be affected by her forgetfulness or wanting to lose 10 lbs? My wife says 6 abortions in 20 years is nothing and I'm overreacting. Am I? this is so frustrating especially since she is generally very mature and responsible in other areas. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Wife doesn't take birth control seriously. How to convince her to try other forms of bc? Am I overreacting to 6 abortions in 20 years?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I'm [24 M] interested in a painfully shy woman [20 F] and don't know what to do POST: Hey everyone! Last summer, I buddied up with her because she looked like she needed friends, but now that I'm interested, it's weird. The group is also awkward, with lots of gossip. I'm the only single guy who will directly go up to girls or try to talk to everyone. She gives lots of negative signs when I talk to her. Sometimes she starts out excited to talk and then shies away, but she usually gives a quick response and leaves. **I tried texting a couple times, but she responded immediately with short, conversation-killing messages.** This week, I invited her to a small group thing (us + another couple she's comfortable with + maybe more from the group) and she just said, "I can't, sorry." and left. There's more, but it's all like this. **However, she told me that she could be extroverted with close friends, but took forever to open up to people due to horrible social anxiety.** She positions herself in "talking range" of me and watches me a lot, in an increasingly jumpy way. If I say something in a group or take my phone out, she'll jump, look at me, and then quickly stare off into space. Sometimes if I go up to people near her and her girlfriends, as soon as I arrive, she'll turn and step out towards me, and then snap back. I have more examples, but they're similar. How can I get to know her better? Is she even interested? Thanks! TL;DR: . Assistant:
Unsure how to talk to a shy woman, as she doesn't seem to want to talk/text, but watches me a lot.

Wasn't home much been when he was he was a pretty laid back guy who you always heard music coming from his house. Well, my mother once day comes into the house crying with Vince following behind her. She ushers my brother and I out the door and across the street to Vince's house where he presents my brother and I with the shittiest looking guitar and bass. They looked like some kiddy inspired instruments that The Wiggles would play.(My brother and I are musicians) He hands my brother the guitar and me the bass and says with a shit eating grin "Welcome home kids." My brother and I look at each other like WTF. Well we rush over to our mother who says that we aren't her children anymore and tells us to "go back home." So we go back to Vince's and ask him wtf is going on. He tells us that he bought us from our mother for $6000 a person. I take my bass and hold it up in front of him saying "Dude, these instruments are shit. We're gonna go back to our mom's and get our old ones. They're way fucking better than these." He just shrugged and said "Sure. That's fine, son. I love you." I put my hand on his shoulder and said "Vince, I love you too.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: The Evolution of a Relationship POST: Many of the posts on /relationships seem to be about LTR that don't work out for a magnitude of reasons. Most of these LTR seem to have start in the late teens and have hit a bumpy period in the early 20's which is a huge transitional stage in anyone's life and causes strain on relationships. I'm 23 and have been dating my SO for 5 years. We've seen each other through the hardest times and been there for each other unquestionably. Nonetheless, we have our issues and problems like anyone else. A recent issue has got me thinking and I am curious to see and understand different opinions on the issue. A late teen relationship is not the same as a young adult one, or that of mid 20's; what are some differences that you feel are quite major and do you have any advice to transition from a young, 'everything is new and exciting relationship', to a more mature, stable and passionate relationship. The first thing that comes to my mind is communication and the realization that a relationship is a choice. -HB TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Do I[25F] give in to sexual desire and sleep with best friend[28M],or hold out to see if the feelings go deeper? POST: Lets do a bit of background first. Ive known him for nearly a decade, we have a speckled past of numerous sexual encounters however its never developed to anything more than that. We fell out over something trivial online a while ago and reconnected last month after he split from his ex. Its been great seeing him, ive definitely missed his company. There is quite a bit of flirting and we can both feel sexual tension in the air, but aside from that we mainly watch documentaries and smoke some doobs like friends. Anyway, just over a week ago he confessed he'd become more attracted to me recently, i told him id been feeling the same for him but it became confusing because i thought i had feelings for someone else too (turns out that guy is a douche). So we decided to not act on it, continue as normal and see if anything changes about the way we feel. Well, since then the sexual tension has become even more apparent. I have barely thought about my previous crush. But there are many complications to this. We talked further again last night and now i feel even more at ends. He has only recently become single and is unsure if his feelings for me are purely sexual or if theyre more. I told him Im scared of getting involved in something sexual when for me FWB only ever ends badly. And so the conclusion again is to do nothing but wait. Im feeling lost, a lot of men who ive met recently have only been interested in me sexually and i would hope for something more mature from him. Casual fun has lost its excitement and i need something real. He knows what I am looking for and doesnt want to let me down if it doesnt work out. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Why is everyone so upset about having "armed guards" at schools? POST: As long as it isn't the actual teachers with guns, I don't see the problem. My school (which I went to from elementary through high school) had 2-3 "armed" security guards that were either off-duty or retired police officers. They conducted traffic before and after school, made sure there weren't any suspicious people around, and one would always be on campus during the night making sure no one broke in or did anything they weren't supposed to. They were all very nice and their main job was to keep the campus secure, safe, and help out where necessary. One time I locked my keys in my car and they helped me get them out and a few times I left important class material in my locker and they let me in to get it after hours. It's not like they sit outside classrooms with AKs and M4s. They just drive around in their security vehicle and say hi, work sports games, and keep children safe from potential predators. We could easily have a budget for 1-3 security guards (not dumb security guards, but off-duty/retired cops) if we cut back on our excessive military or other government spending. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: I (male, 26) have a very good friend (female, 25) that I've recently gotten much closer to. Over the past month and a half or so we've come to realize that we are able to communicate and understand each other on a deeper level than with anyone else. We are incredibly similar, in all of the ways that truly matter. We see each other usually a few times a week, and talk every day, for most of the day, including at night for several hours. We're also both physically attracted to one another, but she is just coming off of a breakup with a long term partner, and I am recently divorced, so we don't want to do anything with one another right now. But the desire is there. The thing is, though, that we both agree...we don't feel like we want to be in a romantic relationship with one another. We don't want to "date". It seems...weird to us. So my question is, what is this relationship? If we get along so well, have such a profound connection, spend so much time together, and are physically attracted to each other, why do we not feel like we want to date each other? TL;DR: .

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My boyfriend [24] and I [22] are having issues about cleaning. POST: We have been together 2 years and living together a little less than 1 year. The main issue we are having about the cleaning is that I have higher standards than he does. However, I feel like what I am asking from him is more than fair and he should be able to make a few small changes to his behavior. When we moved in together, I told him I would take care of the actual cleaning (dusting, vaccuuming, laundry etc.) as long as he would maintain throughout the week and not make messes that had to be picked up first when its time to clean. I made this agreement because of my previously mentioned higher standards and because I tend to like things being done "my way". Plus he usually works on saturday and I get bored anyways. Basically my expectations are that he put dirty clothes in the basket, throw away his trash instead of leaving it on the table, wipe up spills, and help out if I ask... I feel like this is pretty basic stuff, especially since he is home more often than I am. It takes me longer to clean if I have to round up dirty socks from every corner and throw away a weeks worth of soda cans first. It makes me feel taken for granted, unappreciated, and occasionally like the dreaded "replacement mom" I've discussed this with him before and he says he doesn't really care how clean our place is, doesn't think about it, and he's just a messy person and this is how he is. That last part about him just being messy is the thing that really pisses me off because I think I have asked for very reasonable things and it makes it sound like he's unwilling to change. To his credit he has gotten a little better (last apartment he had was a disaster) but there's still room for improvement and thats all I'm asking for. So /r/relationships my questions are 1. I think I'm being reasonable, am I? 2. How can we work together to solve this? Yesterday when we argued again I suggested doing a daily pick up before bed, what else can we do? TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: Hello Reddit, I am strictly a lurker, but today I need some help and I thought who better to Ask than Reddit. While I was driving to the store near my home a few days ago the car in front of me sprayed water out the back of their car and onto my car's hood. We ended up both pulling into the same grocery store parking lot, so when I got out of my car I made a comment, something like "Do you think that's funny? Because I don't." The driver reached in his car and took out a metal pole, one that was jagged on the ends. He came toward me and lifted the pole above his head, as if he was about to strike. I grabbed the pole before it hit me, and wrestled it out of his hands. In the process of wrestling it out of his hands, the jagged edge of the pole cut up his arm pretty badly. Next thing I know, I'm surrounded by 4 cop cars, with one cop running towards me with a taser. At this point, I am standing there holding a bloody pole, and one kid's arm is busted open (his friend didn't do anything). I am handcuffed, get a ticket for "following to closely" (there are 4 stop lights and a stop sign to get to the grocery store...you can't help but be following someone closely, you are going slow and stopping a lot). I also face a misdemeanor for being a "disorderly person" and my ticket reads, "starting fight in lot". My lawyer says it doesn't look good, and there is not a good chance I will be cleared of these charges. I will lose my scholarships and loans for college when I am a couple months away from graduation. I have to stop smoking trees for my court date in a couple weeks. I also won't be able to leave the country if I'm on probation, and I have an awesome job opportunity waiting for me overseas once I graduate college. When I say awesome, I mean my dream job, that I have spent years working my ass off for. TL;DR: . Assistant:

(I was still 18) Ever since then we have been texting and face timing everyday(building trust etc.) Since then I have asked if he has hooked up with anyone since we met and he said no. 1st red flag. He has hooked up with someone, he didn't know I'd remember but he told me a month into our relationship. I figured at least he was honest and didn't think too much of it. Recently I went to New York by myself to tour the city at night because I had never seen what it looked like before, I live in NJ. In the end I ended up calling him because I was at Penn station and it was about 4 in the morning. I made up this story that I came to new York, met up with my roommate & his older brother, we went to a hookah bar, and they got drunk so I left. the story itself wasn't very believable and he caught on and told me he had a hard time believing me, and hung up. I texted him and told him I was sorry that I lied and I promised I'd never do it again. He sent me a picture of his gay hookup app of people messaging him and told me that he was at a hookups, house right now and I told him I wanted to keep trying with him either way I didn't care. He said he wasn't mad at me but in turn he would not apologize for hooking up, lying, and he would not delete his app. I accepted the consequences for my lies and told him that I still wanted to keep trying with him. Since then he un-followed me on instagram and I don't know how to start a conversation with him anymore, everything I say will just sound like another lie to him.

POST: I met this sweet little girl late in my senior year of high school. She was a freshman, and she would always look at me in the halls as I passed her. She was always very skinny and, even on the hottest days, wore long sleeves. Being a former victim of self harm, I knew what this meant. When I asked her to talk for a while, she was very hesitant, which I had expected. I told her what had happened to me as a kid, and that I knew the pain she was going through. She eventually let me listen to her story, and since that day, we've been inseparable. I would make her dinner, pick her up from school, see all of the new movies she wanted to see, and pretty much devoted my life to helping her get better. To this day, she's like my little sister, and I love her very much. Now, about a year later, she's doing much better. She's doing better in school, and is visiting therapy twice a week. It's the greatest feeling in the world to see her happy again, but I still feel like it's not enough. I had never asked anything from her, nor will I, but I can't help but feel like I want something more. I hate the way I'm feeling, but I just wanted to know what you guys think of this.

We'd been dating for about 2 years at this point and I still largely pay for all of our meals as well as our apartment + utilities. I have a nice luxury loft apartment and she keeps a very small--think glorified storage closet--apt in a bad neighborhood. She literally never goes there except to pick up and drop off clothing because I don't have enough closet space for two people. She doesn't pay a penny to live in my apartment or drive my car (we split the gas costs even though she drives it 80% of the time for her work and I walk to work.) We both have good jobs. I make about twice what she does, but I have crushing student debt that I'm trying to pay off as fast as possible. I pay off about $3.5K of student debt a month, which really cuts into my cash flow, as you can imagine. She has about 1/10 the student debt I have. I recently started suggesting that we split our food bills more evenly. I suggested that she could pay for her own meals and I'd pay for mine. Obviously we'd still go on dates and I'd pay for her meals, but on a day to day basis, I suggested that we split the food costs. We ended up getting into a huge fight and then lots of old, old stuff came out and we ended up breaking up. At this point, the relationship issue is moot, but she was my first really seriously, long-term relationship. TL;DR: . Assistant:

The whole situation is traumatizing for me. I'm 25 years old, male, and this is the first time my mother has done something like that. I have NOTHING against her screwing other dudes, however the guy is not only almost 20 years younger then her but she did it literally a few meters away from me. All I could hear in the morning was "mhhhmmm ohhhhh mhhh". This shit is really fucking up my psyche. I'm considering speaking to my mother, letting her know what I think and moving out. I want your honest help on this. Thank you TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [25M] with constant traveling job. Anxious about my romantic future. POST: Thanks for taking the time to read this. Background: I was really never much of a ladies man in highschool/college. Quiet introverted with not much interest in "playing the game." In the past year however, I turned that around. I have been much more successful engaging women, getting their number, going on dates etc... This isn't so much a problem any longer, meeting them is still difficult however. I am a 25year old dude that travels a lot with work. I'm an engineer with a very cool and good paying job and all that jazz. I chose to travel because sitting on a computer designing for 8 hours a day would probably drive me nuts, not to mention I enjoy what I do. I tried it for a little but I found it monotonous and un-challenging. Eventually...2-5 years down the line I feel like I will retire to a desk job just because that's where my promotion progression will lead me. I work on a rotation so I basically work 19 days straight then get 9 days off. It's hard to meet a women, keep them interested long enough and have them wait around for me. If I meet a chick while working, then it turns into a long distance relationship, which hasn't worked out either. In the past months where relationships have fallen apart because of my work I have become increasingly anxious of my romantic future. I'd like to be settled down by 30, with having known my potential partner for many years hopefully. For me this timetable might work but I can't get my anxieties of dying alone out of my head. I'm wondering if I should settle for a desk job or follow work that I enjoy doing. Can anyone else relate? How did you handle these thoughts? TL;DR: . Assistant:
I travel a lot, hard to meet keep women interested in me past a couple months. Anxious I will die alone.

POST: -I [21/f] used to work with this guy (24/m - let's call him Guy) at an on-campus job in college. I always enjoyed working with Guy, but never considered him as datable because I had a boyfriend up until a little over a year ago. -Guy graduated a couple years ago; I am a senior in college. I'd see Guy here and there at parties after he graduated, but we had never hung out one-on-one until... -A coworker and I were reminiscing about the good times with Guy, so I texted him to see how he was doing. Guy invited me out to drinks the next week. I figured it was just gonna be catching up, but it ended up being very date-like. I had an awesome time. -Guy asked me to lunch this past Saturday. Texting him beforehand made me feel physically nauseous to the point that I almost cancelled the date. But I didn't. I went and had an awesome time. Again. -He has implied future dates. -Multiple people have told me that Guy has had a thing for me for a while. -We haven't done anything physical, with the exception of hugging. I don't find him physically stunning, but I don't think it's a deal breaker. -Guy makes me laugh, and I feel we connect on a lot of things. These past couple times we've hung out, I've even felt somewhat romantically about Guy. I genuinely want to hang out with him more. BUT HERE'S THE THING: I don't like texting this guy or even thinking about him outside of when we hang out because it makes me feel nauseous. My stomach is churning as I type this out. What is wrong with me? TL;DR: . Assistant:
I've REALLY enjoyed the few dates I've had with this guy, but any thought of him I have when he's not around makes me feel physically nauseous.

Anyway it was last summer. My girlfriend had recently moved in with me, like, a month before this story happened. It was a nice Sunday, so no work. Plus, it was my birthday. If you do the math, (sunday+birthday+just-moved-in girlfriend) you can see why I was expecting some sex. So when I heard "Happy Birthday" and I saw my girlfriend with a really naughty lingerie, I was pretty happy. Anyway, we get going. It was the best sex we had ever had. I saw she was about to have an orgasm, so I started going faster. When she reached the climax, one of her leg started shaking. I'm not gonna lie, it was really hot and I felt like the god of sex. I was basking in my abilities, when all of a sudden **"MEEEEEOOOOOOOW"** It was incredibly loud and it scared the crap out of us. Apparently my gf had kicked over a lamp with her leg, and that cockblocker of our cat decided *that* was the perfect time to crawl out the bedstand he was hiding under. The falling lamp knocked him out. He wasn't moving at all, so we got up and started dressing. While my gf called the vet (who thankfully is a close friend and lives quite near), I checked the cat: i could feel his pulse, so I put him in his transport cage and then we rushed to the car. Halfway there, and, thank God, the little bastard woke up with the cutest meow. We arrived at our friend who checked him and reassured us everything was okay. My girlfriend spent the rest of the day hugging the cat and crying. Since then, before having sex I have to search for the cat and lock him out of the room, which can kinda kill the mood TL;DR: .

POST: I met my girlfriend 6 years ago and have been going out with her for 5 years and she is perfect. We ve been in a long distance relationship for the past 4 month or so (due to the fact of me doing a 1 year internship and her completing her masters degree oversees; I finish next August she finishes next December). And when I say long, it means 10 hours time difference. Last 2 weeks she's been acting weird so I asked what's wrong, she wouldn't tell me. After a while I got her to talk and she told me that she is not feeling good anymore, she's always sad and it hurts her so much that we are not together and sharing moments like we used to. She said that we re talking less and less together which makes it worse. She's coming to spend a week vacation at the end of the month and I was planning to go to hers in March (both trips planned 2 month ago). But now she's saying that she wants to come and talk about us, our relationship face to face (instead of having fun and enjoy seeing each other) She kept saying that she loves me so much and it kills her that we can't be together. What I understood is that she wants to break up and maybe we ll see what happens. She's not comfortable with the idea of us not knowing where our future will take us. She thinks that we do not have a future and can't stand that we will only see each other 20-40 days a year tops. I thought that we could be strong and sacrifice a bit until we both finish and do an effort to live/work in the same city. She ll be here in a week. Any ideas what I can do or what we should do to make this better? Or is this relationship doomed? Help me reddit I'm in love. TL;DR: . Assistant:
my gf wants to end our relationship because we barely see each other during the year and because of the time difference.

Have been emailing back and forth and they said they will arrive on so and so date. They requested pictures of me to see what I look like after I got the 'job.' They sent a picture of their family. It looked super sketchy. They sent a check via USPS for $3,500 and $400 of that was my first check. The rest was to purchase supplies such as a crib, stroller, basically everything the kid needed that they couldn't bring with them. The dad said he was moving to my city to help study combustion engines for the EPA? Really odd. The dad did all the emailing, never would talk on phone or Skype although I never requested. The check/package was being tracked online and was sent two-day and said it arrived but never did. Called USPS and said they must have lost it. 10+ days later it shows up. It looks fake. Call the bank it's issued from and they said it's fraudulent. What are these scammers trying to get? By the way this all happened to my girlfriend and not me. She says she doesn't believe she gave them any more info beside name, address and photos. I hope she didn't give her SS Number. What do you guys think? TL;DR: . Assistant:

We have been talking more of the past couple of months since I was moved to the same position as her. A couple times we have spontaneously gone to a movie or had a few drinks after work, and she's also hung out with me and my friends a couple times. So I finally forced myself to ask her out and actually acknowledge it as a date. I think she had fun. I did. We make each other laugh a lot. But the problem is I overthink everything. I talk to much. She makes me an idiot. I don't know if it's because she's slightly older than me (all my other interests have been my age or slightly younger) or if it's because I actually have my first googly-eyed crush I've had in a long time. It's like there's a wall that's preventing me from being fully comfortable around her because I'm so worried I'll say something stupid. All other girls I've gone out with have always gave me clear signals and mostly made moves on their own, and I've always been able to easily being open and myself. With Stacie, she definitely does not broadcast her interest in me, I have no idea what she's thinking, and I'm shit at making any kind of gesture towards intimacy. I can barely look her in the eyes, it's dumb and I know it's dumb, but I cannot break through that wall. This has never happened to me before.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/tifu TITLE: TIFU by going out on the boat POST: Yesterday I went out for an afternoon on the water with my wife and two young boys. I pulled the boys on the tube all the way over to a swimming cove I scouted last time out (we didn't swim then because it was a cold day). I anchored and we swam for about 20 minutes before someone came down to the shore and started yelling that we weren't allowed to anchor/swim there. They were really upset so I tried to be courteous and we left promptly. I figured we'd get the boys back out on the tube and cruise around for a bit before heading home. However, the boat just wasn't working right... it wouldn't ever get up to speed. No matter what I tried I wouldn't go like it should. So we abandoned the tubing and decided to head to the dock with visions of expensive repair bills dancing in my head. As we came in toward the dock I started prepping the boat (putting bumpers out, etc.). It was at this point that I realized my fuckup. Hanging from the bow cleat was my still-attached anchor rope! In my hurry to leave the swimming spot I totally forgot to pull up the anchor and been dragging the anchor all around the lake! I sheepishly pulled up the anchor and was so flustered by my abject failure, that I made several more critical mistakes in docking and recovering the boat: - I put the bumpers out, but then docked on the wrong side and got a few new dings in my gelcoat from the dock - I forgot to lift the prop up all the way so it drug on the pavement as I pulled the trailer out of the water - I parked on the edge of the parking lot while I surveyed the damage (since all the boat trailer parking spaces were full) and got an earful from the park ranger TL;DR: .

What started as a fun day on the water turned into a comedy of errors, with each fuckup causing a lack of concentration that lead to the next.

POST: My fiance signed a lease with three friends last year, that started June 1st, 2014 (through May 31st 2015). A month before that time, after being diagnosed with cancer, the landlord sold all his properties to a rental company. The new company stated at that time that they'd honor all the old landlord's leases. Fast forward to today, October 1st. In this college city, leases that start on June 1st get signed in October for the previous year. My fiance and her roommates intend on renting the property again (June 1st 2015 through May 31st 2016). However, the rental company not only wants them to sign the lease for the next year, but sign one of their leases that superseeds the current one. This wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that they are also trying to raise the rent on the *current* lease by $30 per month. My understanding is that a lease can't be altered by either party unless it is mutually agreed upon. I don't know if that's the case if the property is sold, however. Anyone have experience with this? TL;DR: . Assistant:

I asked him just now if he would be okay with dealing with a super upset and emotional me for a month straight to have a threesome and he said yes. I'm glad he was honest but I was somewhat peeved by his answer. I wouldn't purposely do anything to upset him or make him uncomfortable. Your thoughts on this? Do I sound sane? I'm not asking for people to say that my boyfriend is a dick, but mostly if I'm being emotionally reasonable with myself.

POST: So I know this problem will be resolved on it's own when I go to college in a year and a half, but for now, it has become a very complex issue that I'm not sure how to handle. I've known these two friends since pre-school and they happen to live in my same neighborhood so naturally we talk often and have all grown kind of close over the years. They are twins, so I've usually hung out with both of them together. However, they each have very different personalities and their traits have even grown more distinct throughout high school and I am beginning to absolutely despise one of the twins (I'll refer to her as A). A has, over the period of about a year, become extrememly moody, aggressive, and exhausting to talk to. Our personalities conflict and we bicker often. I am usually able to laugh it off; she holds grudges. She has started conflicts with me for absolutely no reason and it has progressed to the point where I no longer enjoy being around her and I automatically feel defensive whenever I see her, because of her offensive attitude. However, B & I (the other twin) are the best of friends. Our personalities compliment each other well, and the conflict between A & I has only served to strengthen our friendship. We get along well. I just don't see how I will be able to remain friends with her if I plan to cut A out of my life (even though they "hate" each other, they do everything together and have the same mutual friends). It is incredibly frustrasting and I feel I am causing even more conflict between the two of them. For example, A & B give me rides to school (they share a car) sometimes work as well, but after an argument, A told me she would no longer provide transportion for me. I know B however, will not let that happen, and that they will argue and fight over this for some time. I just don't know what to do. TL;DR: . Assistant:

She finally told her parents we were a real thing. I asked her if her parents knew I was divorced (she and her mom are close). She said no, they can never know. They don't speak English, so I don't know them very well. Has me having doubts again. I don't like keeping secrets, and this is something huge to me. Not to mention it is a matter of public record, so it's not like you can actually hide it anyway. Makes me really uncomfortable. This is on a pile of other things that make me think of calling it quits. TL;DR: . Assistant:
GF hides the fact that I am divorced from her parents, says they can never know. Not sure what to do.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: [23M] How do I approach/ let a girl know, that frequents my workplace, I'm interested? POST: I [23m] work at a private fitness center in the membership department. These two girls come in regularly and we greet each other but nothing much more than that. I'm interested in one of them, but I'm not sure how to go about letting her know that. I have access to all of the members info in our computer system, but I absolutely don't want to use any of that for personal use. It's easily grounds for termination. I do know her name, but only because I helped her when she signed up for a membership (and again, the access to members personal info). I could try and add her on facebook but I feel like that would come across as someone just being a creeper, plus I don't know if she would even know it was me since she never sees me outside of my work attire. At the same time, I could send a short message along with the friend request perhaps. Any suggestions on how to approach her would be greatly appreciated! TL;DR: . Assistant:
I see a girl a few times a week at the fitness center where I work. We exchange nothing more than the generic hi and goodbye, with the occasional joke thrown in. How do I let her know I'm interested?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My [25M] SO [26F] is driving me absolutely nuts. POST: My SO of 1.5 years, has been driving me up the wall for along time now. She complains, or moans or is unhappy about absolutely everything all the time and its sucking the life from me. This dog needs eyedrops twice a day at the moment. I gave the dog eyedrops then I said "and she'll get another one later on" "No" she sharply replied, "once I come home she will". So the answer was yes, but seems like the answer was no because I said it. And things like this happen all the time. "Just round the corner isn't it?" Will be met with a sharp "No, just down the road" It is if I need to be absolutely precise with any generalisation I make or I'll be snapped at. She is very dominant and I'm reluctant to move in because of this. Moving in together is something thats been on the cards but her house is very much 'her' house. Everything is where she wants it to be, everything is done how she wants it to be. If I do something helpful without asking about it she will get annoyed about some small insignificant detail about what I've done. I always worried to ask her how she wants things done because she will become exasperated about it and talk to me like I'm am idiot. I only want to do it the way she wants it done so she didn't get annoyed. However it didn't matter, if I don't ask, she gets annoyed, if I ask,she gets annoyed and there seems to be no way to get through it. She loves her dog more than anything, she loves me but when I'm around I feel like I'm just there just because I'm meant to be. I'm bored and unhappy. I don't know how to try and address and improve the situation without her getting annoyed at me. I've said in the past that I am afraid to ask about things because she gets annoyed and she told me that I don't get afraid and that was kind of the end of that. TL;DR: . Assistant:
gf moans, complains and is never happy with me. I don't know how to deal with my unhappiness.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [22F] with my short term boyfriend [27 M] have been dating 5 months and I want to break it off... POST: So, back in August a friend of mine asked me out on the terms that at some point we were going to break up. Mainly because neither of us were looking for a serious relationship and wanted something temporary to at the least have a little company now and then. Lately I have been feeling like the charm of this relationship is wearing off and I would like to part ways as "lovers". However, I am unsure as how to broach the subject with out it coming off as shitty. ------ The complicated part is that my ex whom I dated for 5 years brought up the subject of working things out. ( He and I remained very close friends though out the 2 year since our breakup. And yes, the current knows about him and our history...) While I am hesitant to make any plans with my ex, I don't want this to come off as I am specifically leaving my current for my ex. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I want to break up with my current bf because I feel like 5 months is long enough in a S.T.R., but don't want him to get mad thinking its b/c of my ex.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Not sure if I (23f) should give it another shot with him (28m) ? POST: I'll try to make this as short as possible. We had been seeing each other for about a month when I impulsively decided that we should stop (I had my reasons, there were a few red flags but instead of talking to him about them I just assumed I was right and so I broke it off). When he agreed with me and told me he saw signs of jealousy with me, I got ticked and blew up on him. Blew up meaning, I went absolutely nuts. For no reason! I am still trying to figure out why I can't hold onto my emotions when it comes to stuff like this. Anyways, we got into a fight and it ended badly. This was about a month ago. He called me the other night, tipsy. I eventually answered after the third call, and we talked for about thirty minutes. I told him I was sorry for the way I acted and that I do realize that it was absolutely crazy and irrational. He said he wants to give it another shot, and I told him I would think about it and get back to him. I did a few days later and told him I'm willing to talk to him face to face and see what happens. Alls he said was "okay." I had feelings for him and we get along really well. If I had communicated my feelings properly, none of this would have happened. I am still learning to express my emotions in a healthy manner. My question is, should I give it another shot with him? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Guy wants to give it another shot after I pulled out the 'crazy' on him and didn't speak for a month.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [26F] and my husband [26M] of 2 years (together 11 years total) are on two different wavelengths when it comes to motivation/future. Worried that love isn't all we need to make it to forever. HELP. POST: My first plea for Reddit's help... Background: I have been with my husband since we were 15 years old. We've obviously made it through many hurdles together (high school grad, my undergrad degree, him being miserable at his job, two cross country moves, etc.) and I am a week away from beginning a prestigious professional program (my dream). Recently he has made comments that he doesn't feel worthy of me and that he'll never be able to give me what I need. He's working a retail job at minimum wage and we currently have zero debt, thanks to my parents, but he makes no effort to change his situation?! I helped him apply for FAFSA and school since he mentioned he's interested in business but when the time neared for sending in his transcripts, he said he wasn't ready and that he wasn't sure if he wanted to do that?? I love him more than anything but his insecurities are hurting our relationship. He's insecure about me becoming a doctor but he doesn't take/make opportunities for himself. If it were up to him to support us and our future family I have no idea how it would happen... He says he wants to open his own business one day but he knows nothing about business and he gets defensive when I mention even just researching what it takes. Tonight he got defensive and then said "Don't worry, it's not like it will ever happen anyway." This comment made my blood boil because there's no reason that he can't if he put his heart in to it. I don't feel like I care what he ends up doing just as long as it's something that he want's to do each day. I'm sorry for venting, I hope it's somewhat coherent. I don't want to lose him but this self pity is killing me while I'm working so hard. TL;DR: . Assistant:
My husband's insecurity about my career and lack of motivation for one of his own is making me worry that love isn't enough to keep us together forever. Am I just being petty??

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Husband's [33M] family realized I [32F] used to be a porn actress. All hell broke lose. POST: It happened when I was 19-21. I was never famous or very successful. I acted in a few videos by some studios and the videos are online. I can't take them off as I had contracts which gave the studio the legal right to the videos. They're on a couple of premium websites and a few of them are on PornHub and other free websites. They aren't super popular or anything and they are under stage names. I told my husband before we got married and showed him the videos. Nobody else knows on his side of the family. It has never got back to me, nobody has recognized me ever really until now. So a few weeks ago my husband's cousin [29M] has found the videos somehow (I imagine he watches porn 23 hours a day). He emailed the link to the videos to my husband, which he shows me and we decided to play dumb and say it's not me (it was over 10 years ago that the video was shot and the video quality wasn't that high on the link). So he calls him and tells him that he doesn't like the joke. The cousin apologises and says that he thought it would be funny. We thought it's over. This morning, he emailed everyone in the extended family with links to high quality videos (I imagine he has tracked down the source of the videos and bought high quality copies). This was the video that he sent to my husband and other videos as well. He then says in the email that "It's who you think it is". Also says that they would have loved to know the truth before allowing "this girl" part of the family and around our children. So as soon as this happens, we had phones ringing asking what's going on. Multiple emails saying they don't want their children/teenagers around me any longer. Multiple people deleted me as their Facebook friends and some have taken the liberty of posting some really hurtful status updates like "the girl we accepted as part of our family was in fact someone who swallowed someone's sperms in front of camera". If someone sends this to where I work I could even be fired. Honestly we haven't done or said anything. We don't know what to do. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I played in a few porn videos. Someone found it and sent it to my husband's family. They reacted in the worst way imaginable. We don't know how to respond.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [24M] with my Girlfriend [23F] almost three years, she wants to move in with me while I am in law school POST: So I will be going to Law School in the next year, and for most of undergrad I was able to live at home to save money. My girlfriend and I have been together for two and a half years. Lately she has been really pushing for us to move in together when I go to law school. I am not opposed to the whole thing, but there are certain circumstances that pertain to my situation. She works full time and goes to school full time. In law school I will barely be able to work, and the bar association has strict rules for law students as far as how much they can work, so she will be the one providing the majority of the finances. My parents also told me that they would help me out. She told me that she would support me to accomplish my dream of going to law school. As with any school financial situation, student loans do not have to be paid on while in school, so that is not an immediate financial issue. Basically, I find it flattering that someone is willing to support me to accomplish my dream, but I do not want to place that burden on someone else. I do realize my parents have been helping me out, and my girlfriend and I have been together for almost three years, but the whole situation would be an immense amount of trust. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Should I pull the trigger and move in or should I stay at home? Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated on this because I keep going back and forth in my head on this issue.
