Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationship_advice TITLE: [19/m] I am in my freshman year of college with my girlfriend [18/f]. I am having an easier time adjusting and it's putting a strain on our relationship. POST: I'll try to make this as brief as I can. My girlfriend and I started dating during our junior year in high school and we ended up going to the same university. When we first moved in, we were both a bit overwhelmed, and it was really helpful to the both of us that we had each other during the transition. Since I have always adjusted pretty easily to new situations, I started to become pretty comfortable around week 3. I have gotten know a ton of people, I've made new friends and I've been doing very well in all my classes. She, on the other hand, has been having a tougher time. She feels like she hasn't made any friends, is really struggling in her classes, and she's feeling pretty lost. I've been doing everything I can to be there for her, and spend all the time with her that I can, but it seems like we're on two different wavelengths. One of the main reasons we're running into trouble is that since I'm meeting a ton of people and having a great time, she's worried that she's holding me back from everything. The thing is, I want to meet new friends and everything, but I wanna do it with her. I always try to get her to hang out with my friends, but she never seems happy. When I ask her why, she always says "they're your friends, you all know each other." It's beginning to feel like I have to choose between her and my friends, and I don't want that. I love being with her, but it seems like lately, I'm all she has. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Sorry for the long post! ( TL;DR: . Assistant:
I'm making new friends, girlfriend isn't, and it's feeling more and more like I'm having to sacrifice having a transformative college experience for her to be happy.)

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Long distance relationship of 4 months [19m] with [16m] says I'm not dominant enough POST: We met online playing video games and we kept talking and one thing just led to the next and we started skyping everyday. He (the 16 year old) was originally the one to say "I love you" and started talking seriously about the relationship and meeting up together and living together potentially in the future when he finished high school. Things were going really great I was really happy and finally looking forward to the future, he made a lot of hints of us living together like far off in the future and I thought we had this really great thing going, we talked on cam everyday and played games and watched TV shows and movies together. Then 2 days ago he tells me that I'm a pushover, I take time to think about it and realize he's kind of right, we never really fought I've always been frightened of him leaving me so I never really disagree with him and I don't really make decisions I always say "I don't care" or "you decide." I just don't really know how to express myself, I'm fairly apathetic to most things. Then yesterday he tells me that he thinks our relationship might not last if I continue to be so unpassionate, unmotivated and not the "dominant guy he'd like." He said that anything can happen and he still wants to be with me now but he might not forever even if I did change because "everything is up to chance." I feel like he already broke up with me, I cried a bit and threw up. Before this relationship I always thought myself as fairly dominant around my friends but I've always been a quiet introvert in large groups of people but I still have an aggressive side. Also I'm not a stereotypical gay guy either, like if you knew me you wouldn't have any idea that I was, he on the other hand is more effeminate and he has a fairly big ego and a rather large personality. I'm really afraid of losing him I just don't know what to do. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I'm a pushover and my boyfriend said he thinks I should be more dominant and I don't know how and am afraid he'll leave me anyways

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationship_advice TITLE: Confused virgin, initiating everything with girlfriend, feeling bad afterwards. POST: Okay....so me and this girl, we've been dating for two months now. She's a virgin, and I'm a virgin. Hell, she's so innocent, it's not even funny. But, we've recently started to get a lot more physical. From about the second week, we've been sleeping together. As in, we would cuddle and then sleep in the same bed. We might make out a little bit, but it was mostly the cuddling and the sleeping. Then, I started with the dry-humping, and she reciprocated, and clothes started coming off. Only above the waist, however. I quickly learned how to properly take off a bra. And then, just within this last week, we moved to third base. It started with me rubbing outside of the shorts she wore to bed, and then I asked if she minded me moving inside the shorts, and she said no, so I did. And she's given me a handjob before too. Mostly, though, I feel like it's been me. And I want it, in the moment. And she wants it--she never hasn't wanted it. But, afterwards, I always feel like shit. I wouldn't say I regret it, but I feel like a bad person. I feel bad for initiating it, and for almost pushing the boundaries. I guess, what I'm asking here more than anything, is that should this be happening? Is this one of those things that should just *feel* right from the moment you're doing it? Like, when you're doing it and when you're not? As bad as this sounds, could it be a sign that she's not really "the one" and that, knowing that, I should break up with her? TL;DR: . Assistant:
I've initiated all of the physical stuff with my girlfriend, because I feel it in the moment, but don't afterwards. Is this something that I should break up with her over?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: If being gay is not a "choice" how can this be proved? POST: I have been on reddit for a while but just thought of this now (probably helps that I am high), but from my findings most gay people are atheist. Atheist hold science up on a pedestal and believe the findings to be true and use it to answer most of the questions they may have regarding our Earth. But answer me this: Most gay people will state that being gay is not a "choice", but rather they are born that way. Why not have science prove this. If science can explain how the universe came into existence and that it was not just magical spawning of floating rocks by a big dude in the sky who looks like santa clause in a toga why can't it explain why men are attracted to men and women are attracted to women? Unlike diseases and virus' with very small occurances that may be hard to explain or there is no explaination, with being a homosexual there is more than just a handful of cases out there. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Can science finally prove that being gay is not a "choice", but rather an actually deformity within the brain of said homosexual person.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [23F] with my bf [21M] for 1.5 year, having troubles and are ldr over christmas break, need some insight. POST: First of, excuse my bad language as english is not my original language.   So I recently found out that my bf have had a secret flirtation with his ex over the last three months. He has been lying about it, and I am feeling really hurt. I no longer trust him. I really do love him, and want to forgive him and move passed it.   At first he was really apologetic, and wanted to do anything to make it up to me again. I go to school where he lives, but my family is in another city. So I had to leave for christmas break only two days after I found out. With all of my trust issues and me feeling hurt this has taken a toll on our relationship. He now feels exhausted, and don't want to work on making it better. Instead he made me feel guilty for beeing hurt and making a big deal out of it. And now im alone trying to fix things, that he broke, and i feel really alone.   Before I left for the holidays he promised we would call each other every day. And we have done so once in the five days i have been home. I asked him tonight if he wanted to talk to me for a bit, I even gave him a call. But he just turned me down. And said he dont feel like talking.   I don't know what to do. I am sad, lonely, and feeling worthless. It's like he don't even care about me or my feelings anymore. I am afraid to say anything, but i want to talk to him about all of this. But I don't know how, or what to say. I am afraid he'll get more distant if I do.   I really don't want to break up with this guy. So please reddit, I only need some insight and help in understanding all of this. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/personalfinance TITLE: Question about the timing of a past Backdoor Roth IRA conversion POST: First, my apologies if this has been answered before. I couldn't find any reference to this here on Reddit nor on Google. So back in 2009 I had just heard about backdoor Roth IRA conversions, which would help me because I had an AGI north of $150k. I opened a new Traditional IRA Account with Vanguard and made 3 non-deductible contributions to it between April 14 2009 and January 2 2010 (covering CY 2008 ($3k), 2009 ($5k) and 2010 ($5k)). Around January 2010 I did a backdoor conversion from my Vanguard Traditional IRA to a brand new Vanguard Roth IRA. The total was around $13700. Around May 2010 I rolled around $50k from a 401k I had with a previous employer to my Vanguard Traditional IRA. When I did my taxes for 2010, my accountant said I would be subject to the pro-rating since I had "mixed" pre-tax and post-tax money in my Traditional IRA. Even though the balance of my Vanguard Traditional IRA was 0 between January and May of 2010, he said because the account had contained both pre-tax and post-tax money in the same calendar year, the IRS considers the money "mixed". I took his word for it at the time, but after reading tons of articles on backdoor Roth IRAs, I've started to wonder if he was correct. Does anyone have any information on if this is true or not? I tried reading the instructions for form 8606 and it makes my head hurt. Any clarification or links to where the IRS addresses this would be most helpful. Thanks! TL;DR: . Assistant:
Was my past Roth IRA Conversion subject to taxes if I rolled a 401k to a Traditional IRA AFTER I had performed the Roth IRA Conversion earlier in the year?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [22 M] trying to understand if second chances exist? POST: Assume you truly liked someone but something happened that kinda turned you off to them. Nothing ridiculously bad such as abuse or being cheated on, but something along of the lines of not being emotionally available to someone and/or briefly losing that connection/spark you had with them. Basically something that causes you to question if they actually like you or not. Like you have doubts as to whether or not the other person likes you when originally you thought they really liked you. Would you take them back and give them a second chance? I think this happened to me - a girl doesn't know if I actually like her. I know the typical advice for me is to move on, but in my past, I've had this happen before in which the vibe changes and actually coming on strong and apologizing ends up working. (In fact for some reason it seems to happen a lot to me - I've had to apologize twice in my past and got second chances). The only issue is having her believe that you are being genuine...and that's hard. And that's something I can't do unless I see her in person but obviously her being closed prevents us from meeting in person (unless its a chance encounter). But in the past, I've written a letter and e-mail and it worked, so maybe there is a way to not do it in person... TL;DR: . Assistant:
Would you take someone back if suddenly the vibe changed for the worst? As if suddenly you don't know if they like you are not, and have huge doubts about how genuine the other guy is.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: SO (f21) of a year wants to slow it down, I (m21) don't know what to do. POST: Long wall of text ahead. Sorry. So I've been dating my girlfriend for the past year and over the last few months we've been getting into little fights (almost every week) which get solved immediately after and we make up. But then last week we had a huge fight and I told her we were over. However, once the anger calmed down, she apologized and I accepted and we moved on. However, over the past month I had been feeling a little unwanted physically because every time I touched her affectionately she wouldn't respond as much or would even maybe move soon after. So, if I put my hand around her in bed she would move or change positions soon after. And sex had gone down to once a day to almost once 3 days. I let her know my concerns last night and today she told me she feels "weird" about having sex with me so often. Now I know she's had a lot going on in her family (hospital admittance of a member, 6 weeks ago) but I thought that effect was temporary. However today she told me that she's just been feeling physically withdrawn (in general, not just me) for the past two and a half months. She asked me to work with her and take it slow and let he initiate and give her space, to which I've obliged. I wanted to know how I can act or what I can say that would help us return to where we were. Because we used to be amazing, we clicked like anything physically and emotionally and I just want that back. And I am willing to put my 100% for that because this girl means the world to me. She feels the same way and told me that she would want nothing more. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I'm [22M] moving in July and she [23F] doesn't seem like she wants to keep dating. POST: I'm in the military, so I don't really have a say in the move. My girlfriend and I have been dating for about 7 months, although we've known each other almost a year. For most of our relationship it's been really good, all rainbows and butterflies. But over the past month, especially the past week, it's gotten a lot more confusing. As we've gotten more serious this move has become a much bigger deal. I see three options, none of which is perfect. 1. She moves with me. It's to Oklahoma though, so not exactly the kind of place she wants to go. Furthermore, getting a job would be really hard for her and she's afraid she would lose her friends and be unable to make new ones. As much as I like this idea I can't be so selfish to demand it, especially when we've only been dating such a short time. 2. We try long distance. I would be about 8 hours away so it wouldn't be impossible to see each other, but still too long for every weekend. She has expressed the opinion that long distance relationships don't work, but that she'd try. I would be ok with this except for how pessimistic she seems about them. 3. We break up in July and go our separate ways. I don't know why I list this as an option. This would suck, especially if we decided it now. This past weekend it seems like she's just given up hope on the relationship. Looking for jobs there hasn't gone well and she's expressed a lot of doubts both with going and staying behind. I haven't exactly been a pillar of strength though because there is so much beyond my control and the prospect of losing her is terrifying to me. As of last night she won't say she loves me and seems increasingly distant. It's my guess that she's scared of opening up too much and then getting hurt, so she's closing herself off in preparation for what she thinks is inevitable. Fuck...this sucks. I love her and I want to make it work, I just don't know how anymore... TL;DR: . Assistant:
Moving away in about 6 months, girlfriend seems to think it's hopeless and is backing away. I want to make it work.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/loseit TITLE: I need some advice!! POST: I wanna start off with a back story. I've been overweight for as long as I can remember... I really first noticed it when I was about 9-10 years old at that point I tried to become more active but shortly lost it when my dad got a new job. Around that same time I had also expressed to my mom that I felt food was the only friend I had and was the only friend that could move with us. Fast forward to when I was a freshman in HS I became increasingly more active because I didn't have a bus to take me to school and back. At this point my mom decided to put the family on weight watchers and we got a gym membership. I went from being 230 lbs to being 175! I felt awesome but still had a bit more to go! I kept most of that weight off for a year until my mom stopped trying anymore and started making and buying crap foods. I'm now 22 years, 5'11", and a whopping 250 lbs. I'm done with it! I want to lose the weight! I envision myself about 100 lbs smaller! My biggest road blocks at this point, my husband doesn't need to lose weight, healthy food is expensive, and I have a slipped vertebra and bulging disc in my lower back.. exercising too much causes excruciating pain. Basically I need advice. What should I do, how should I do it, is there anything that's helped jumpstart your weight lose endeavours? I know I just need to do it, but how? How can I just do something when it feels like all odds are stacked against me...? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: How can I keep my parents' cigarette smoke off of me on my way to a college scholarship day, where I will be interviewed? POST: This Saturday (Feb. 8) my parents and I will be driving to the college that I will be attending this fall, which is about an hour and a half drive from home, give or take. My parents have been smokers for my whole life, so I am pretty desensitized to the smell, but many instructors and just random bystanders have commented about the scent on my person. This will not make a good impression on the committee (at least I think it is a committee. either way, it will be noticeable). I tried to ask very nicely if at least my mom would consider not smoking, but she kind of laughed at me and made a bunch of rude, sarcastic comments about how it's not really that noticeable, and my character should be enough to win over the interviewers. 1. My personality is not the best, and I'm not too great at interviews and 2. If the competition is tough, I am pretty sure that it WILL go down to the first impression that is given, and the smell of cigarettes is NOT going to give a good impression, even if I apologized and that my parents were smokers. Some suggestions that I have been given by instructors/counselors include: chewing cinnamon gum, packing my clothes and covering my hair until I get there (which I'm not too keen on, because I don't know where I would really change or anything like that), and putting cooking vanilla in the car? I'm not too sure about that one. Will any of these work? Other suggestions are very welcome. TL;DR: . Assistant:
My parents won't NOT smoke in the car on the way there, how can I keep the smell off of me so that I won't make a bad impression in my interviews?

POST: Reddit, I have had people proposition me with all sorts of crap in my life and it was dam easy to see right through it. I have had a small proportion of friends over the last couple of years wanting me to join in on these "massive business prospects" where I can make "huge amounts of money with hard work and a little bit of my own cash" For example, the most recent one was a friend who was on the cuff of getting involved in [ACN New Zealand] I humoured him, went to the presentation night at his house, sat down and was not blinded by the douche who tried to convince me I was not prepared to make big $$$$$$. So this guy pulls out a bit of paper that looks like a pyramid sturcture laying down on its side. I call bullshit, wait for them to leave, sit down with my friend and tell him I will support him whatever he wants to do in life but this is one of those things that I will not stand behind. Now, my Dad, who is cannot accept a word of constuctive feedback, has invested in [Dubli] (He is located in New Zealand - Dubli is relatively new) pouring thousands upon thousands into promoting a company that doesn't seem to give anything back. I called total bullshit after doing some research and getting past the forums littered with Dubli promoters (incluiding many threads on reddit) I have only got so far in my search and I need hard evidence that helps me conclude if this is bullshit or not. Excuse the formatting, punctuation and grammar. I am typing this out in a super small Google Chrome window while I sit at work. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Update: 33m, am I in love or obsessed? POST: Here's my original post from a couple of weeks ago: So things haven't changed. I'm still in a relationship for now, but somethings have come up. We had a talk last week where I admitted to her that all I think about with her is sex. How whenever we get home all I want to do is have sex with her and then just do nothing else. She asked me if I could be there for her emotionally, and I froze up. I wanted to tell her no and tell her that I don't think we're going to work, but I didn't really plan on how I would say it, so I just said I would try to be there for her emotionally. Since I don't really have any other place to stay yet, I chickened out... Well, this past Saturday we ended up going to see 'Don Jon', and there were things in the movie that I realized I was doing (if you haven't seen it, I'll try not to spoil it for you). The main thing I brought from it was that I don't "lose" myself in sex with her, but all I want to do is have sex with her. This is selfishness on my part, but I know that with her all I want to do is the physical act. I also realized that I would only go out with her on dates because I could count on us having sex when we we got home. This isn't healthy, and I know it. So, now I'm at a point that I need to sit down with her and tell her my feelings, but in a way that is respectful. I know she's going to be upset, mainly since our last breakup was so messy (mainly my fault), but I know it has to be done. Guess I'm not too worried about her kicking me out other than fact that at the moment I would be homeless, but I can get past that issue somehow. Guess I'm just needing some tips and advice on how to do this as respectful as possible. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Realized I'm only back with my gf for sex and not out of true love, but want to end it in a dignified manner were we could at least still be friends.

POST: Hey reddit, I'm having a bit of a quarter-life crisis, and I figure some people could probably give some advice that would be helpful. Here's the situation for me: I'm 22, living in WA, one quarter away from finishing my AA, and wanting to transfer to the local university here so I can be a teacher. Problem is, my grades are very terrible. I did poorly in high school and just barely graduated (by failing a class, no less), and while my grades at the community college have improved, they're by no means good (around ~2.6). I've been rejected from the university about three times now, and I've lost faith in myself to keep going. I've done my practicum at a high school and had my talent/eagerness complimented on, but I'm worried that I'll never get to be a teacher, and I honestly don't know what to do now. I want to work with high schoolers and I love doing it, but I'm not sure if that'll happen if I don't get my act together. That aside, I'm also a fucking mess myself. I'm not going to measure my amount of self-worth by whether or not I have a girlfriend, or if I've got a car, but I'm a person that lacks motivation in life (although my interests make me motivated). I'm not a total slob, but I could definitely improve myself by working out and other healthy things too. So reddit, what the fuck do I do? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Than he started a new job a month later to pay for school (he didn't want to be on a loan for school) I said I understood as I was in the same boat (working hard this summer to pay for school, we are mid twenties.) Anyways we've grown closer and Ive mad no mention of a relationship before. However I find myself really liking this guy and I am ready and open for a relationship. I told him this and He said he's priority was working lots and saving for school we should just take it slow/have fun. So I said (calmly) that if he didn't want the same thing I completely respect that but I hope he can respect my decision to move on so we can both find someone who wants the same things that we both want. I wished luck and left the apartment. His mouth was hanging open and I just left. He started blowing up my phone saying that he really liked me and didn't want to lose me, work was number one on his mind but he wanted to make it work with me and can't lose me and he just had a bad day at work and was stressed (I didn't know this) I haven't responded all this just happened last night.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My [19 F] crush [19 M] of over a year often repeats the same stories/opinions/jokes to me - bad sign? POST: I've had a crush on this guy for a long time, but we're kind of in the same circle of friends and I've found it hard to push it beyond hanging out as just buddies. Whenever we're all out together we both end up gravitating towards each other and walking side by side or spending most of the evening just talking together. I've noticed others in the group have noticed this and given some 'looks' to each other. For whatever reason neither of us have made a move, and I'm beginning to doubt he's interested as much as I am based on one thing; he often repeats himself to me, as if he's forgotten the previous time(s) that he's said these things. It sounds stupid but I keep a diary and end up writing down of a lot of the things we talk about as I enjoy spending time with him and don't want to forget some of the cute little things we end up joking about, even if it turns into nothing. So I think I'd find it very hard to repeat stories or opinions about things to him without realising, as I have really vivid memories of what was said. An example of him doing this is when we walked past a movie poster and he told me about how a friend of his got confused about the plot as he'd mixed it up with another movie. It was a funny story and we talked about it for a while. The next week we were hanging out and same movie was mentioned again, and he starts telling me this story again like I've never heard it. This kind of thing has happened even up to four times! He doesn't smoke pot (I don't think). Is this a sign of him not being as into me as I am him? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Crush forgets that he's told me things and repeats himself a lot, leading me to think he's not as invested in me as I am him.

Being overly self-conscious is something that I have struggled with for years. He knows about this, and tries to reassure me, but at times I let my insecurities get the better of me and I lash out. He tells me that he likes me the way that I am, but I'm very self conscious about my appearance. He's naturally very thin, and I weigh about 35 more pounds than he does, so this makes me feel pretty self-conscious around him. I have talked to him about my insecurities before, and he said that if he has seen any downsides, or anything that I should feel insecure about, that he has decided that these things don't matter. So is this a good thing, or might this mean that he is trying to look past a "downside" to dating me that may become a breaking point for him later on? I have a habit of worrying about little things, so I can have a difficult time differentiating between something that may actually be worrisome, or just me worrying too much. How can I come to terms with my insecurities and be more accepting of myself so that I may keep it from becoming a problem? I don't want my self-consciousness to come between us. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I get anxious and insecure about myself, and I don't want it to become a big issue between my boyfriend and I.

POST: So earlier this month I opened a CFNA credit card with STS to pay for a repair I had done on my car. I went ahead to pay off the debt once I got the money. Online payment for CFNA requires the bank account and routing numbers. For days after I submitted the payment I was wondering why my account balance wasn't changing. When I went to check my CFNA account I found that the payment did go through but it was not from my account.

I'm living together with my parents & my brother. We're living in a relativly tiny village. Since almost 2-3 years we all can feel that the communal life lost it's sparkle. Our interests spread apart (which is ok & somehow inevitable), the motivation to take an interest in another is low too. Last year I finished my school education. After that I started a voluntary service for 1 year, which will end in a few months. Therefore I need to start (actually already started) to look out for an apprenticeship/study. My parents are making suggestions where I could start and it's always something where I could keep living at home cause it's not far away. But that's not something I want... I want to live alone. I want to move out and start my own life. I just don't feel comfortable anymore at home. My parents know I would like to go somewhere else, they know it's my dream to finally start my own life, they know it but I'm sure they refuse to believe it cause they always come with silly excuses when I'm starting to talk about that topic. My mom always ignores all my intentions to make things clear. She doesn't take it really seriously. My dad once told me that's because she doesn't want to let me go, but hey I can't be her little boy forever. How can I explain them that I'm serious and not just dreaming? Does someone of you had a similiar situation? Of course I love my parents and I know they love me but it's time to move out, it would be the best for me and they would benefit as well. Sorry for some inaccuracies, feel free to ask anything. TL;DR: . Assistant:

It all started last week when partying with my mates, as the night got older my head got more out of bounds, and I managed to hook up with another girl. The problem is now, that I have no intention of hiding this as she deserves to know the full truth and I am aware of that I need to take the consequences of being an a**hole. I need to find a way of letting her know in the best way possible for her, as she moved to the city I live in and has no one except me to talk to except her family over the phone and suffers from major depression. I am basically all she has and I have major concerns for her own health after telling her. I want to call her parents and warn them whats about to go down and maybe have them travel down here so she can have someone to lean on when its going down, but don't know if its as good of an idea as it is in my head. Anyone got any advice on how to proceed the best way? TL;DR: . Assistant:

I've dating my gf for a couple months now. We developed a fantastic connection unlike anything I've ever experienced before. Everything seemed to fit together so nicely. There have been a few bumps but we've survived. Last night something strange happened (from my perspective). We and one of her friends were in an apartment. I went to the fridge to get some beer. This fridge is really dirty. The power often goes out in India so there is some fungus in fridge. I make a joking comment and say: > As a single man, I have seen my fair share of disgusting fridges, but this one takes the cake. This deeply upset her because she heard it as "I am currently single" where I was using an infinitive to refer to my past experiences. Now she is extremely uncertain about me and my feeling towards her. She said she thinks I think subconciously I'm still single. Which is all extremely curious to me. Naturally I'm quite confused by the situation. I understand why she interpreted the sentence in that way, the temporality is implicit, not explicit. I don't fault her for that, not is it important. The communication failed and so be it. She explained some other things to me (which I can't understand either). I'm doing my best to be patient, kind, and understanding. At the end of the day she feels this way because of my actions (regardless if I had that intention). Right now I feel like she does not trust me at all. If I had heard those same words I wouldn't have given it a second thought. She had the opposite reaction which to me tells the only difference is the frame of mind. Like if this is enough to push her over the edge then she's probably very close to the edge. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I gain insight into her perspective? I'm not really sure what to do differently. TL;DR: . Assistant:
GF & I have communication problems which is making the relationship unstable and preventing her from trusting me. Not sure what do to differently or how to proceed.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Am I [17] wrong to be upset with my girlfriend's [17] lack of a drive to communicate with me? POST: Let me lay down the details here: we've been dating for three months. Nothing big, I know, but there's been some kinks thus far, and as the title suggests, the big one is the fact she has no drive to text or call first. I've always got to be the one who talks first, or ropes her into a conversation. Usually not an issue, because I'm a relatively charismatic kind of guy, and we typically have an hour or so of conversation daily. For me, the kicker is that she just got back from a two week cruise without net or phone service, and has been in Texas for two days, completely able to say hello or tell me how it went. She hasn't. She's not said anything to me, and I've only found out that she was able to by her circle of friends texting her when I went to the theater with them. A'ight, I get it, I look a bit clingy, but I'm upset that she didn't even talk to me. We've gone half a month without saying anything to each other, and it sucks that she's zipped her mouth shut when she's got the chance to talk. So that's my case. Am I in the right to feel a bit hurt? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I [17 M] love her [16 F], but I'm not happy anymore. POST: Hello everyone. Please don't make our young age change how you view this post. Me and my girlfriend are together for 9 months now, I love her, I truly do, and I know for sure she loves me as well. This relationship started really well, had its ups and downs, but everything was going nicely, we even traveled together for three weeks. But when we got back from our trip, I found myself feeling very stressed out, and just not happy with this relationship like I used to be. She is very needy, and I end up never texting her as much as she expects, even though I try my best (I'm not very talkative). I feel like if I'm by myself at my room doing anything other than talking to her, she will feel bad and insecure. She already told me she needs my constant attention, and it seems like an attention I will never be able to give her. We pretty much only see each other on weekends, and we don't see each other as frequently as we used to. It is very stressing and difficult to try to balance my girlfriend and my friends, I feel like I will have to end up disappointing someone. We have been discussing/fighting a lot recently, this has been the case for the past three days. On Tuesday we were talking and she suddenly complained about how I haven't asked about her day recently, which makes her feel like I'm not interested in her. Yesterday she was very stressed out about tests and such, and she ended up getting mad at me for that I guess. Today was the worst. Last week she said that "next weekend (this weekend) I'm all hers". With this, she meant that we were going be together for the whole weekend, I didn't understand it like that. I made plans with my friends for Friday, and today, one day before the weekend, she asks me why I didn't plan anything for tomorrow. She is now REALLY mad at me for not going out with her tomorrow. Am I that wrong for making plans with my friends for tomorrow? I love her so much, I am very afraid of losing her, but this relationship doesn't make me happy anymore, I am very stressed out. TL;DR: . Assistant:

I've been using all of the features on it and am pretty stoked with its usefullness, but today I got a text saying AT&T has signed me up for a data plan without my consent or any contract. I called them irate and have since been told I will be getting a call back from a manager with the details. I feel this is literally stealing from me. They went into my bank account and took the money without me even knowing. The supervisor I spoke with on the phones reasoning was, "well if you have a smartphone you need to pay for a data plan." But I NEVER use it for anything other than music, a calendar, calls, and note taker. That's like me buying a lawnmower and them saying if I replace the engine, I have to come to them and pay for doing it. What should I do?

He is staying over at my place and we decide to go out to the bars and in the process I invite a bunch of people including the girl I am interested in. At the first two bars my friends keep telling me about how they were going to wing man for me and it all worked out great up until the third bar. We are touching and dancing and things are going great till I feel the need to step outside for some air. By the time I come back the two friends who were wing manning for me, were wing manning each other. A few friends and the girl i like decide to come back home to my place and have some drinks and chill. As a gesture I lay out a bed roll for my friends to lean on and this is where it all goes down hill. Keep in mind that i sleep on a Japanese style floor mattress. A mix of tired and drunk kicks in to where I am just drained from the amount of social interaction to the point where I'm barely in the conversations at all. I can't say anything without being completely shut down by everyone in the room. Including jokes about my virginity and about any rebuttal I make to dispute the fact. I remain quiet for the rest of the night leading to right now.

POST: Someone I hang out with but that I don't know very well put me down as a personal reference for a car loan, and the dealership (a national chain known for financing people with bad credit) called and left me a voicemail to call them back. I have never had to put down a personal reference for a car loan, and I don't know why they are calling me. What type of information are they looking for? (I am definitely NOT cosigning or anything like that; this was out of the blue.) For the record, I don't know this friend very well. He tells a lot of tall tales about his family and claims to own a luxury car and a house "back home" in another city but seems to be just barely scraping by here. He also recently started his own business, but I have no idea how well it may or may not be doing financially. So I guess if I called the car dealership back, I wouldn't have anything good to say about his financial situation. To me, it seems like he has no money, but I don't want to tank his chance at getting a car. Should I call back and lie, call back and tell the truth, or just not call back at all? TL;DR: . Assistant:

I half wonder if we'd be happier single, but when I mentioned this he begged me not to break up with him and began crying. I already know he won't let me end it without more crying, begging, and drama. Part of the reason he doesn't want to break up is he doesn't want to see me happy with another guy.

In my less than ideal state of mind decided well here's my chance to try doing stuff with a guy. There was nothing intimate about it at all and he just did oral on me for a few minutes before I tried doing it on him. I stopped after 2 minutes because I kinda realized what I had done. Immediately I recognized it had been a terrible idea because I have a girlfriend. All I saw it as, was a chance to experiment with a guy in case I don't get the chance in the future if my girlfriend and I who have been together for nearly 3 years now was to be a forever kind of thing. Though now I am seriously regretting it and he has said that he wouldn't ever tell anyone about it. I don't know if I should tell my girlfriend or not because it was just a one off thing that I don't have any interest in doing again. I don't think she would take it well at all even though it meant absolutely nothing to me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks TL;DR: . Assistant:

It's been around two years with my girlfriend whom I met in highschool and she refuses to have sex with me. I mean oral sex, feeling up, anything. She does a moderate sex drive and I can turn her on, but she refuses to do anything other than make out. I honestly love her, but it's making me lose my mind and made me do things I regret(Exchanging pictures). I just don't know what to do, her position seems to be final and I just can't see myself without her. I tried to think about the thought without her and I just couldn't see it; I'm worried that she would find someone else and then end up having sex with them(I know im pathetic). Her reasoning for not having sex is due to her religion; she comes from very religious parents, but her siblings are the exact opposite of her. The furthest we've ever gone is me rubbing the outside of her underwear and her giving me a hand job for a minute, then later crying about it to me because she felt "guilty". Reddit I dont know what to do. I really dont. I can't see myself without this girl, but she's so prude and it's stressing me out and making me insane. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Can you give me some advice to invest it well? POST: Hi /r/personalfinance. Sorry for the wall of text but I think it is important you know the situation. **Money Coming In** Over the summer I will be working as an aerospace engineer intern for an amazing company. I'll be making $18/hr at 40 hrs a week, plus overtime at $27/hr. At the beginning of the summer I will also get a $2,000 moving bonus. **Expenses** Over the summer the only expenses I will have will be gas, insurance, and money to spend on myself (. My mom happens to live in the town were I will work, so rent and all bills will be free (including groceries). I will probably spend around $35 on gas per week (for 11 weeks) and insurance will be a one time payment of $400. My goal is to put money in some account, fund or what ever it will be to use when I graduate in (2017) as a down payment for a new car. By my calculations (45 hrs/week + bonus) I'll make around $11,000 this summer. I think I want to put $5K to $7k towards this fund. What's the best way to invest to have the highest return? TL;DR: .

POST: So I'm a bit of an introvert, my classes really tire me out so lunch time is sacred to me for just eating alone and reading in the library cafe. It really is the highlight of my day between school and my night shift at work. This guy, who I'll name after the hat he wears "Fedora" will not take the hint to leave me the fuck alone. He has approached me multiple times to talk about himself and basically try and ask me to hang out later. I've tried to be nice to him and tell him that I have a busy schedule so I don't have time for friends. He insists that I'm just being mean to him, I'm just rejecting him because I have a boyfriend, I must need to company because I'm eating alone.. etc etc. He usually diverts the conversation back to talking about himself again. I'm not trying to be mean but I think he might be different in some way because he cannot grasp the clear signs that I am uncomfortable talking to him and all my hints that I am busy and need this conversation to end. I don't know what else to do. He keeps alluding to me being mean by me wanting to eat my lunch in peace. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [29M] with my wife [28F] of four years, she is mad at me because I told her I thought our baby daughter looks goofy. POST: I'm looking for some advice on how I can get her to realize that I love our daughter and didn't mean anything by my comment. My mom came over after we brought our daughter home from the hospital a few weeks ago and was taking pictures of me holding my daughter. She made some remark about how pretty she was, and I made an innocent joke about her looking goofy (like a walrus). My wife was in the room at the time, and she came over to me and asked me what I meant. I told her that it's not that I think she is ugly or anything like that. I just think she, like most babies, looks weird. She got really upset and took our daughter from me and left the room. It's now been two weeks since the incident, and my wife still is angry with me. She has made quite a few passive-aggressive remarks about what I said. There have also been quite a few tears shed. She says that she feels like I blame her for the way our daughter looks, which is absolutely crazy. She has also suggested that I don't love our daughter, which is also ridiculous. I have tried apologizing every way I know how. I just don't get why she's upset. I know her hormones are out of balance right now and she's a little crazy, but she acts like I said I hate our daughter. I very much love her, and I have told her that over and over again. My actions also should tell her I love our daughter. I'm not sure what she wants me to do or if there is anything else I can do, but I want her to see that I love our daughter, even if I do think she looks goofy. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/personalfinance TITLE: Should I seek professional tax help? POST: I have always done my own taxes. My father always did his, and, throughout my childhood, I had a helping hand. As the world began to transition into the land of the Internet Of Things, my father would do his pen and paper taxes, then have me help him translate that into TurboTax. He would scrutinize and, once he was satisfied, we would submit his return and I would get cake. As I grew up, this is how I always filed my own personal income tax returns. Fairly straightforward. Many people do it. It's always worked for me, I've never run into any serious problems, I've always gotten a return (although it's never enough, but whose is?) This year, however, is a complicated tax year for me. I moved to a state that charges state income tax with my previous employer. They took care of the state taxes on the front end, but I ended my employment with them in August and have been working since then employed elsewhere, so the state taxes for that portion of the year were not taken care of. I also cashed in my 401k early. I know, it's a big no-no, but sometimes you really have to, and I did. I earned no other income than what was earned through employment with companies one and two. I earned no out of state income this year. **bold TL;DR: . Assistant:

We started hanging out at the beginning of summer and have spent most of our time of the past two months together. Our relationship thus far has had a more than friends understanding but we have connected on intimate friendship levels, to a large extent because we are both coming out of difficult times and connected through being able to relate with each other because of that. I know that I have a tendency to close up in relationship because of a fear of intimacy, and I know she has some similar commitment related issues but we are pretty open and honest with each other as we each work through our own baggage. As if recently, I have been feeling afraid and cornered, kind of buckling underneath the pressure of being her boyfriend. We have a similar understanding that the title means nothing and that the relationship itself is what's to value but I can't help but be swayed by what I see are obligations. This mindset, I feel, is pushing us apart as friends and may have the power to let the relationship crumble as well. I believe I am ready to step up to the plate and allow myself to take it as it comes but I have it in the back of my mind that I should end it now because that would be easier, and potentially less painful. I can see how these thoughts are having an effect in our relationship and I'm internally panicking because I feel like I should be above this, plus, I hate being on the receiving end of this kind of thing so I can't imagine how much this sucks for her. My last relationship was a long time ago but left me pretty crippled, I'm still afraid if getting back out there. How can I rise to the occasion and be courageous to decide to move forward in a relationship with this girl that I believe I would never do better than, breaking up with her would leave me regretting it immensely.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [46 M] hermit with [35 F] girlfriend? friend? I don't know. POST: Short version. I'm 46 years old with emphasis on OLD. Many miles on the engine. Bad joints, bad hip, fat, and at best average looks. I have a stable job but I've been single since my last relationship ended in 1995. For reasons that are not clear to me I seem to have attracted the attention of a far younger, fitter, better looking etc. woman who has a stable career of her own and zero reason to be interested in me romantically. But given how isolated I've been for the past two decades, it may be she just sees me as a friend and this is all in my head. So I need to figure out what the heck is going on here. If it's just friendship, I can rest easy. Otherwise it's off to Belize on a fake passport. Facts: --She has asked me over to her place maybe half a dozen times, but has never been romantic with me. --More recently while sitting in my truck cab she leaned in for what I swear was a kiss, which I dodged and turned into a cheek hug. --She's since asked me out to lunch and requested I ask her next time (not sure what that's about) --She pm's me on facebook several times a day and has talked about very personal things with me. --Most recently we did a drive out to an event and she hugged after and later PM'ed me saying she had a fantastic time and loved hanging out with me. So what is this? Is this just how younger people are now? How will I know if something more is happening here? She is WAY too good for the likes of me. And I'm way too old. So I just don't see how romance would ever function here. I mean literally I don't see how it could work. It would be like me being selected for an ascent team on K2. A great honor, but also patently insane. I'd know going in that the team would just end up having to carry me back down and probably get hurt in the process. TL;DR: . Assistant:

At 3am, I realised that I had forgotten to take my daily creatine supplement so I went to take it. I don't really weigh out creatine, I just take a spoonful from the bag, mix it with water and down it. So, I did like usual. I forgot that I had a bag of pure caffeine powder in my stash of supplements and the bag looks identical to my bag of creatine, so you can probably guessed what happened. I accidentally took a ridiculous dose of caffeine and very quickly started feeling shit. Sweating, nausea, ridiculously high heart rate, dizziness, confusion... all the classic signs of caffeine overdose. My girlfriend rang the emergency helpline, told them what happened and they sent out an ambulance immediately. I was taken off to hospital to be observed just incase my heart decided to give out. Had a bunch of blood pressure tests and ECGs. Blood pressure extremely high, high rate high. Thankfully it passed without anything serious happening... but holy shit, it felt bloody awful. Caffeine sucks. Also, I have random bald patches on my body now from where I ripped off the sticky ECG sensors and that hurt like a bitch. Apparently a potentially lethal dose of caffeine is ~5g and I'm pretty sure I had more than that. TL;DR: . Assistant:

I'm trying to find an [airplane coffee mug] to give my dad for Christmas. Stamp reads: Willardson + White Collection / Trend Pacific / Los Angeles, CA I don't want to ask my dad details about it now because he'll know I'm up to something. The last time I asked him about it he said it just meant a lot to him (he used to work as an aerospace engineer for NASA, loves airplanes/space/symbolism behind them, loves the color scheme, etc.) You can't tell in the pictures but if you turn the mug around, the entire other side is broken off and it nearly fell apart when I took pictures of it. It's so sweet that he just keeps trying to glue it together and he was really sad when he told me he couldn't find a replacement anywhere.

We have talked and I admitted I still like her and would be with her if I had the chance but I know I don't so I don't worry about it and live my life. Problem is, whenever I see her she is seducing me. She convinced me to get a hotel room with her, when I see her she makes out with me or grabs my hair and pulling my head down and kissing my neck. She claims she has no feelings for me but calls and texts me every day and we talk about everything from if she is sad to just casual stuff and every time I see her she can't seem to keep her hands off me. She also talks about how she wants to be the best I have had.

BACKGROUND: I very recently started working out, but dieting is where I fail. I eat real bad, yesterday for example I had 2 bags of chips, 15ish Hershey kisses, an ice cream sandwich, pizza, and fried chicken. That was a pretty average day, I've done 2 pints of ice cream no problem, but now I'm trying to slow down on my sugar intake. I don't calorie count. Eating right seems to focus on creating healthy yet delicious meals. But that's not me, the tastiness doesn't outweigh the time spent making. I just want to get what I need. Hence why I eat so much fast food and junk. Need x amount of carbs? Drink this it takes no time prepping. Need x amount of protein? Take this pill and you're good for the day.

I'm coming back to the UK in 6 months. I loved him, he is a very sweet guy, but he's got aspergers syndrom and depression, and I just don't think I can handle this anymore. It seems like a shitty reason to break up with someone, but I just want to be happy, and I don't think I can be with him. Now, I was thinking I could wait until I come back to tell him face to face, but he's started looking at flats for us to live together when I come back, and I don't know if I want to do this to him, letting him believe that it will continue as it was before I left... He's started an accountancy course that should end in August, he's dropped out of Uni twice due to his mental problems, he's doing fine in this course and I'm scared telling him I want to move on might make him drop out of this too. Also his parents have some of my stuff that I left in the UK, and I can't just tell them "so I broke up with your son, but if you could hold onto my crap for another 6 months it'd be great !" ...

She got a secondment program and she decided to take it and go overseas for 4 months, this was in July. I wouldn't describe our relationship to be perfect, we had our ups and downs, and I tried to change myself so that she'll be happy to be with me. Since she left, I talk to her regularly but for the past two months I've been getting this feeling that I do not want to be with her.

Since she is overseas I do not know how to deal with this. As of late, I don't communicate with her as regularly because I want to distance myself from her. She will be back in the next two weeks, and she is buying me all these things and I honestly don't want anything from her.

POST: My husband and I have been getting into a lot of arguments about this lately. I work most of the day and come home a little later at night. He does at home work. We have 3 teenaged boys ( 17, 16 and 14) who are very full of energy. They love to do anything that involves being physical (sports, and working out) and I would of thought that would of supressed some of their hormones, but they still have a horrible tendacy to fight. I am not talking about the typical playful "boy fights" that boys seem to do, but full on fist fights. Yesterday I got a call from my husband saying my two youngest were in the ER. Apparently older brother had broken their noses in a "little fun fight" they were having?? This has been going on for far too long honestly, and I know boys will be boys but I don't want my boys to keep hurting each other like this, even if they claim it isn't "serious". My husband says he hears them doing this but that they should learn to work out their problems, so he doesn't stop them. I'm not sure If its just me being a mom and overreacting? I can't seem to get through to him that he needs to STOP them when he hears them playing too rough. So we don't have more incidents like yesterday. Im not even sure if this is normal behavior for teenage boys. They'll seriously be angry with one another and fighting one minute, then a few hours later will be back upstairs playing video games together. I have been considering maybe taking some time off work so I could be at home a little more. TL;DR: . Assistant:

I have two. Well, they're generally nice guys, but they're lazy as fuck and can't comprehend the shared space. One of them cooks just about every meal he eats. He also doesn't wash just about every dish he uses. And when he does, it's not really washed. The other one thinks that soap is IN the tap water so he just sprays stuff and puts it on the sink to dry. I've made several efforts to call attention to this device I found in the middle of a crop circle on a distant planet in the future called a *DISHWASHER* but these fucks don't understand it. Anyway, I always fill the dishwasher up and run it. I also always empty it. This happens once a week, sometimes twice. I usually give it a day after it has run to give my roommates a chance to take the initiative. They never do. So, I began waking up at 6:30 a.m. My first task of the day has been to do the dishwasher. **Not** on my task list is to do this quietly. I've almost broken a couple of dishes by just not giving a fuck how much noise I make (i.e. *trying* to make as much noise as I can, i.e. playing basketball with the silverware when putting it in the drawer). I've done this 4 times so far. On the third time, one of my roommates came out - squinty eyed and word slurring (from having just woken up - that's not a race joke) - and asked me what the fuck I was doing. I said "the dishwasher". He wanted to know why I was doing it so God-forsaken early. I replied "because this is when I want to do it. If you don't want it done at 6:30 in the morning, then do it yourself". Guess who did the dishwasher this evening? Hint: it wasn't me. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: I live in almost the midwest USA, my mother is on the west coast, my father and (former) stepmother are on the east coast, so all communication is dependent on someone picking up the phone and calling. I became pregnant mid January and want to keep it a surprise until I make it through the 1st trimester and then go out and see them. This will happen late May. In order to keep from slipping up and saying something I have stopped calling them (I usually call them once every two weeks). I will pick up when they call me. Stupid- I know- but anything to keep from spilling the beans and still make them not feel neglected. This has made me realize they never call me. Ever. My father butt dialed me two weeks ago and that is it. I spoke with him for a little while because we closed on a house. I called my mother once in January. My stepmother never calls me ever btw, but she does comment on facebook occasionally. It has been two months and nothing from them. I knew it was a little one sided but what the hell? Do they genuinely not want to talk to me, or do they just not think about me? Father/stepmother have a son (23) that they bitch about never picking up when they call. I'm thinking when I finally reveal I am pregnant I may have to tell them I wasn't calling because I didn't want to slip up on the phone, but tell them in person. Then I may have to confront the issue that they never call me. For the record, east coast family has never made an attempt to physically come and see me. Even when I lived 1.5 hours away. I am now 11 hours away. Should I be offended by this (I am)? Why don't they want to call me (do they not care)? Should I confront them (how to do this without being a bitch)?

And if I move it, there will be no real furniture in our family room, and they will definitly get pissed off. I don't want to damage our already shakey friendship. I don't have the money to buy another couch or whatever, so I don't know what to do. Any advice? Should I take it into my room until they contribute something? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Is it wrong to move our only piece of furniture (that I bought) out of the family room and into my room?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Help! My boyfriend (24/m) logged into my (23/f) social media accounts without telling me & watched my activity. How do I handle this? POST: So here is the story: I (23f) have been with my boyfriend (24/m) for 2 years now. We have had some rocky issues currently but we have been trying to build our trust. I am currently using my social media to promote a product of mine and I've been in contact with a lot of people recently over social media. Absolutely nothing inappropriate has been said. Well, I found out today my boyfriend has been logging into my social media accounts WITHOUT telling me and has been monitoring my activity. I don't even know how he got my password! I told him a few days ago I think giving each other our passwords isn't healthy and it won't help us build that trust we need. Well, he found something along my conversations he didn't like (it was to another girl... Like I said, not inappropriate like flirting or whatever). He's SO mad at me about it... And he isn't even acknowledging what he did was wrong. He calls me a liar and said he had to know the truth (seriously... What he found was a mistake in wording to this lady and it sounded like I was single). I have no idea how to go about this. I can't get one word in without being called a liar. I can't express how incredibly hurt/upset I am because he is upset at his findings. Do I have a right to be upset about him going thru my social media accounts behind my back, or should I be more willing to let him in like that? I seriously have no idea how I'm going to handle this TL;DR: . Assistant:
Found out my boyfriend has been secretly logging into my social media behind my back and is trying to dig for things. He won't talk about what he did but rather what he found. Not sure what to do

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Girlfriends[32] ex still hangs out with her daughter. POST: Hello, Recently things have gotten more serious with my gf who is 32 and has a daughter and myself who is 29 and has no kids. She broke up with her ex somewhat recently, maybe 6 months ago or so. Her ex constantly calls to talk to her daughter (nearly nightly) and watches her probably one or two nights a week, and hangs out with her for probably every other weekend (for the whole weekend). When we first started hanging out I didn't really care, but now that she wants to be more serious it's starting to seem very strange to say the least. I brought it up a tiny bit by saying I understand that you dated him for like 3 years but doesn't he want his own children and family someday? What if you moved across the country? He's not the dad. I know it would be hard to let go of a child, but for his sake and the little girls sake I wonder what's right. The conversation didn't really go anywhere and she just said if he wants to see her she isn't going to say no. I tried to let it go but now this week he is taking her daughter for a week and a half camping trip. This just seems wrong to me, and it seems like most men she dates in the future would question it and most women her ex dates would wonder why he is always with her ex's daughter. I feel like there's something nefarious behind this, and maybe one or the other is trying to keep hooks in the other through the child. It seems so strange to me, am I being crazy? TL;DR: . Assistant:
girlfriend has an ex that is extremely close with daughter after break up, thus staying close to her. I wonder if it's time to ween them apart or the proper way to handle this, or if I'm being crazy.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I [19/M] have been thinking about my first girlfriend [20/F] for like a month and I want to have her back. But is this a wise desire? POST: By my first girlfriend I am talking about my first, longterm relationship (If you can call 40 days long). Basicly, we broke up because I was an idiot. We dated last year when I was 18 and started socializing for the first time and man.. I was a complete idiot to people. I never had any interaction with a friend group and I found myself as a part of this big cosplay society, I had tons of friends, a nice girlfriend, really cool people to hangout with and then.. I became a real jackass, a real idiot. My girlfriend broke up with me, my friends stopped talking with me and everyone started to hate me, I was talking shit about them for no reason, acting like an idiot. After like 6 months, I improved myself massively, I am friends again with everyone once more, even better than before, I am the guy people talks when they have questions about many things ranging from comics books to science. I am now a better and more civilized person. And now, I want my girlfriend back, I dated a lot of girls after her but never been happy with any of them like I was with my first girlfriend. Now that I am a better person, I think I can have her back. But I don't know if I really want her back. I was happy with her but that doesn't mean I was never sad. She is an artist but not the most talented one, she can't draw very well even though she has art training. But she blamed ME when she couldn't enter an art school, just because I called her at 10 to wish her luck and turns out she went bed early and said "You woke me up so I couldn't sleep, that's why I failed." and that really broke my heart. But in time, she became a better person just like I did. She is hard working, drawing better, doing lots of stuff. I can win her back I guess, but I am still not sure, I am also planning to study hard and leave this country to live in a better one. What do you suggest? Try my chance or don't even bother for something that already failed? TL;DR: . Assistant:
I was an idiot, my girlfriend broke up with me, months past, not an idiot anymore, should I try to win her back or don't even bother?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/BreakUps TITLE: I've moved on - why does this hurt so much? (X-Post, r/Relationships) POST: Hi, guys. I'll try to keep this brief, but give all the backstory I need to make myself clear. At the beginning of December, I [19 f] broke up with my first long term boyfriend [18 m]. First kiss, first lover, first everything. We dated for almost two years. It was a very toxic relationship, he was selfish and sexist, very immature and very dominant, but I never realized it because I had never experienced anything else. Even sex with him was never anything special. We never "made love." We just had sex. In February, I met the most wonderful guy on earth. He is everything my first boyfriend wasn't, and I am head over heels madly in love with him. Every time we make love, it is passionate and loving and perfect. My ex-boyfriend, all the while, still showed signs of not moving on, and swore up and down that he would never find anyone else for him, nor would ever want to. Today, however, I found out that my ex-boyfriend has been casually hooking up all summer with a girl we both know, whom he will be attending college with, both as freshmen. I also found out that he blocked me from Facebook, and unfollowed me on other social networking websites, seemingly unprompted. I thought I had moved on. I have no complaints about my relationship - heck - or even my life. But why does this hurt so much? Is it wrong to wish, even just a little bit, that he still hadn't moved on? I guess I just miss feeling wanted. Even from someone who treated me so awfully. Any words of advice, or similar stories? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Moved on from toxic relationship, ex-boyfriend didn't until recently, when he started hooking up casually with a mutual friend. Why does this hurt so much?

I like him and want to go but I am a bad dancer. POST: I met this really adorable guy at a friend's place a couple weeks ago. We have a few common interests so we exchanged info and added each other to facebook. I gave him my number and we texted briefly before he asked me to go to this hippy dance party next weekend. The thing is, I'm new to the city I live in, and I have no one to take with me, so I would be showing up alone, which is awkward and makes me feel nervous. Also, I'm a bad dancer to begin with, but they are playing music that is really hard to dance to, like an eclectic mix of psychedelic trance meets weird drums and Indigenous music... I'm definitely not a hippy, and it really isn't my scene (nor is it his, he just has friends who fit in there and like to go). I am sure he asked me to go to get to know me a little better, so it's not necessarily a date, but I'm still nervous, feel weird about showing up alone and about having to dance to music that is hard to dance to. He is attractive and I like him so far, so regardless of whether it is a date, I am still freaking out a bit. I am thinking of having a few drinks before to make it easier, but I'm still not sure that will help a lot. Any recommendations for making things less awkward? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Guy asked me to this dance party with weird music and I suck at dancing. I have no friends to bring so I have to show up by myself and feel nervous about the whole thing even though I really do want to go.

I am 25 and have been on my own for nine years. My dad bounced back in 95 and I never heard from or saw him again, I don't even know if he is still alive. This situation left my mother, not a US born citizen, to raise three boys on her own. I am the middle child with one brother being 2 years older the other 3 years younger. My mom went on to own her own business cuz she's a rockstar, but we haven't spoken since she kicked me out at the age of 16. Some of the things I got in trouble over were pretty stupid, and my mom would beat me with a leather riding crop (no she wasn't a bdsm whore, we lived close to Kentucky and the horse track) and not just whoopings, she would use it on my face.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/personalfinance TITLE: A little something I've noticed within this sub. POST: One thing I've noticed is that there are quite a few people here that follow certain percentage rules for buying cars, house, renting, etc.(name it and the rule is there). I think that's good, your better off being on top of your finances. Some rules are good to follow too, but it doesn't mean everyone has to follow them. But when these people see other people people breaking those rules (the rules they set in place for THEMSELVES) they freak out. "You're paying too much for your car" "you can't afford that house" "you gotta sell it". Ideally if they have it and are able to pay for it, they can 'afford' it. These items can also be considered investments once they are paid off, you might lose some money when you sell it -- but in the end it might have been worth it. Im usually a reader and this might be the first time I actually posted something, I do like the information I find in here and it will help me in the long run, but one of the most annoying things to read is when someone displays their numbers and everyone hops on the "you can't afford that" train. Let them be. Suggestions are nice, nagging sends people away. TL;DR: . Assistant:
stop telling people they can't afford what they have based on your personal finance rules. You do you, everyone else does everyone else. It's annoying even when I'm not the person it's being directed at.

I work 9 to 5 and she works as a server a couple nights a week. The beginning of this year, her father passed away. Its been 8 months now, but it has really put her in a bad place. Since then, we've had a hard time getting intimate. Fast forward to today. Every time i try to get physical past kissing, she gets turned off or just doesn't reciprocate. I try being romantic (wine, dinner, talking, fun events, etc) but when it comes down to it, she'd rather sleep. It seems she's always too tired. I work 9-10 hour days at times and STILL take my ass to the gym and have more energy than her. I love her to death, but if our sex life is this bad now, what am I supposed to expect if we get married? Our sex life was 10x better in the beginning of our relationship. For those that think she may be cheating: I'm 99.9% sure she is not. She's been cheated on twice and it's screwed her up some. She'd rather break up with me than cheat. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Recently when chatting over the Book of Faces she suggested we hang out like we had intended to; we traipsed about the area we live through various cities and malls and overall got on super fine, lots of inside jokes were made we laughed and had a fly time. We're gonna go shopping next week and I'm wondering if I should make a move or maybe be a bit more forward this time, I only ask because she has the same name as my older sister. I have a poor relationship with my family so it's not like she'd ever meet her but it seems a bit... Socially un-koscher (Yeah I just made up a word).

POST: There are a lot of stations (In Canada for example, braap braap White North) that don't play a lot of the music that I like to hear. Either up and coming, unknown or underground and even some classics are totally forgotten by mainstream radio. Part of it is because of the regulations commissions and part of it (In Canada at least) is because of a need for playing home grown talent or "CanCon". To meet these regulations, stations end up playing either sub par songs, or the same ones over and over again to the point where you can switch stations and THE SAME FRIGGIN SONG IS PLAYING. I'd love to hear Slaughterhouse, Childish Gambino, Tech N9ne and stuff from the early 2000's (Clipse, Outkast, Mase etc) on the radio but that just doesn't happen. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: Hey reddit, my SO (19) and I (18) have been together for about 6 months now.  I met her in school and she was apart of an international student program in America  from Finland.  Anyway, we started dating around March, and in June she went back home for the summer before we start college.  Prior to our relationship, she was in a relationship with another guy in Finland before she moved.  They both came to America, but on opposite sides of the country.  This was about a 1.5 year relationship that ended when he cheated on her when he went back home for holiday.  Some of her friends told her and sent her pictures for proof.  She was obviously infuriated, so she quickly ended the relationship around December. It was only three months in between her last relationship and this one, and it was obvious she still had strong feelings for him.  She denied any questions of her remaining love for him to spare my feelings, and only admitted to this a few weeks ago. She now promises that all her feelings are gone and she doesn't feel that towards him now.  Fast forward to today, they're both back in Finland, they text semi regularly (few times a week)  and it always ends with her being upset and coming to me and either crying or just generally being in a bad mood.  I don't know what she wants to do.  She's trying to convince him that he changed, and he's denying everything. But he still manages to get such a huge reaction out of her.  Personally I don't think it's good for her, but I've been hesitant on stepping in, in fear that I would make matters worse.  He's causing her more stress in her already stressed life.  And I don't know why she still puts up with him. But I just feel hopeless and I want to help her. So reddit, my question is this: is there something I can tell her or do for her that can make her see that this is just an unhealthy friendship? I honestly just don't know what to do.  It pains me to see her like this.  Thanks in advance for your help. TL;DR: . Assistant:

In addition to that, he's had a really rough week at school.

POST: First off, this guy is my best friend. I love him, but we've always fought. Sometimes as little as once in a few months, sometimes as often as four or five times in a week. Regardless, fights have been a regular thing. They usually revolve around disparity in social needs (I want more time together; he wants more time alone) and exes (that one has been solved for the most part). Lately, our fights have been full of blame/accusations, grudges, and personal attacks. It's resulted in us living separately after two years of living together and him cutting off lines of communication. But even though we've got all this bitterness, I can't seem to end things. Everytime I think of ending this relationship, I think of the way he kisses me, the pet names, etc. and then I wimp out. I've lived in this state for four years, and I've been with him for three of them. I associate the whole metropolitan city with him. I keep thinking things will get better. And they do, for awhile. They're great. But, in between, I have to withstand the fights full of verbal abuse, accusations, blame. It gets really hurtful and really personal.

However, when I have gone running outside for the past several times, I have had a very strange thing happen. About 40 minutes in, I get lightheaded and basically lose the ability to run (or even really walk) in a straight line. It feels almost as if I were drunk. I went running this morning, and the same thing happened. I made it home before collapsing over the toilet and throwing up. I didn't eat anything before I ran, but I had some water and Gatorade, and I don't usually eat before working out in the morning. Also, this only happens when running outside. It never happens when: rowing on the water, rowing on the rowing machine, spinning indoors, cycling outdoors (thankfully) or even running on the treadmill (although I only ever run on the treadmill in the afternoon).

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [21F] with boyfriend [22M] 9 months, am I wrong to be upset? POST: Sorry if this sounds pathetic, I just wanted a bit of perspective before I overreact and cause an argument. Basically, for the past 5 months I have lived around an hour away from my boyfriend (before that we were living in the same city). We see each other every weekend, with me traveling down to see him more often than the other way round. I'm fine with this, he lives in a nicer city and I get to visit friends. He is in a band and has been since a year or so before we got together, it makes him really happy and that's cool. They often play gigs and I'll normally go along and watch. For my 21st birthday, my parents said they will pay for me and him to go on holiday (this was in October). I've been waiting for him to give me dates that we can go, hopefully around March time, so I can book it and get time off work. He has come up with tonnes of dates that he is doing band stuff and still no solid date that we can go anywhere. I also asked if we could put a bit of extra money towards what my parents offered so we could go somewhere nicer, and he said he can't afford it which is fine. This brings me to my problem: he just dropped it on me that he is going to be paying £600 to record some songs with his band in March time. I'm pretty upset by this, as it seems that the band is clearly his priority and that he can't be bothered with this holiday. The only other issue I've really had is that he didn't get me a birthday present and I know that I can be difficult to choose things for and he didn't have much money at the time so I let it go. Am I wrong to be upset? I don't want him to stop being in a band because it makes him really happy and I enjoy going to see them play, but it seems a bit worrying that he can drop this much money on something when he 'has no money' etc. Sorry for the tonne of text!

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationship_advice TITLE: [20/m] Considering a break up with girlfriend [20/f] of 2 years. Need more input. POST: We've been together a little over 2 years now. We've been in a long distance relationship for the entirety of those 2 years, since our universities are rather far away. Monthly visits, summers together. Most communication is through text, and IM; we rarely skype. The time we spend together is great, I have no problems with this, but this last semester has simply been a train wreck of issues, arguments and petty insults. I've tried to break up with her twice already and I couldn't go through with it. The break ups happened because she started acting really detached and rarely speaking to me, and she wouldn't leave me alone about a girl I liked before I met her. At the time I hadn't spoken to the aforementioned girl for length of our relationship (we can refer to her as May). The crying and the promises she made made me hope for a better future, and it was good for a little while. She has been insecure before, but I always reassured her at every move. Recently, I haven't been reassuring her and I don't want to. I've grown tired of having to help her through so many of her issues; I mean i've been reassuring her constantly for just under 2 years. It shames me to say this but, I have been looking at over women in her presence; she's caught me before. I've talked to May without telling my gf. Sparks have flown. I still have feelings for my gf, although they have severely diminished. I really don't like the idea of hurting her. She's a really sweet and sensitive girl. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My girlfriend [16] and I [15] are having difficulty communicating. POST: As the title says, we just don't know what to talk about or really how to talk to eachother. I really like her (a lot) and she feels the same towards me, and I just don't know what to do. She was grounded for 2 months a couple days ago (her mom's a little crazy when it comes to punishments), so seeing her in person is sadly out of the question. We're both just as awkward in person, anyway... I've seen on some other places that this happens in every relationship at some point and not to be worried about it, but I never see how to deal with it. Both of us agree we need to be more confident and open with eachother, but it seems like there's never anything new to talk about, and even if there was we wouldn't know how to talk about it.

I'm studying French, and he's French and studying computer science. We are not a couple, but lately we've been connecting on a more serious level, and I'm starting to develop feelings for him that weren't there 6 months ago. The fact that he doesn't know if he is staying in the country or not makes me hesitate to pursue this romance further. I've lived in France before, and if our romance were to last in the long-term I'm not sure if I would be willing to live in France. Also, the fact that we're in some sort of friendship-romance limbo is confusing and frustrating as well. Lately we've been spending a lot more time together, talking for hours on end and continuing to spend time together on a frequent basis. This is one of the most organic relationships I've had where our relationship is based on conversation. However, I'm afraid and I assume he's afraid to make a move. How do I make a move? Should I platonically but intentionally touch his hand, arm, etc.? Should I tell him flat out that I start to have feelings for him? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Reddit, I am in desperate need of your help. POST: Alright, I will try to keep this short while still giving you guys the full scope of my problem. I am a 19 year old male who is healthy in almost every way possible. I am not overweight, I take care of my body and I interact socially with a large group of friends on a regular basis. My problem is that I have been suffering from depression since the begining of highschool (freshman in college now). I realize that many people suffer from depression, and it can be overcome, but depression is not the reason I am here today. Reddit, although it pains me to admit it, I have completely lost any semblance of a sex drive I once had. It has nothing to do with lack of being able to get girls in bed, I am fairly attractive (or so i've been told) and pretty confident and charismatic as well. The problem is that when I get girls in bed, I am unable to function sexually (I can't get hard). Now initially I blamed this on the anti-depressants, was talking prozac at the time which is an SSRI, but I switched to a non-ssri called bupropinol of which I take 450 mg daily. Reddit, the problem is nothing has changed. I was drinking with a gorgeous girl the other night, and when we got down to it I was unable to function. I ended up just going down on her and we both had a good time, but it was embarassing for me not to be able to do what we both wanted to do. I am set to see this girl again (later today, possibly tomorrow if I push it back) so any advice you can give would be greatly appriciated. This is not an isolated incident either, this has happened to me a total of 3 times so far. Initially it was just anxiety, but now I dont know what to think. I literally have no motivation to go after girls anymore because I feel like I wont be able to function when I need to. Please help me reddit, you're the only people I feel I can trust to give me an honest opinion with legitimate answers. TL;DR: . Assistant:
cant get hard when in bed with girls, healthy life from an outside perspective, emotional wreck inside. pls suggest potential solutions or just give advice or even opinions.

I was pretty sure she was interested in a relationship: she's the one who asked to meet up, she told me in a subtile way that I was cute, we get along very well, etc. Big problem: she was with her female friend when we met, and later, 3 more female friends joind the group. That was so awkward, I was not shy, but in my head I was just "wtf wtf wtf wtf" . I thought we would be alone. I was so not conformtable in this situation , I didn't understood half of the conversations they were talking about. And , when she presented me to her friends, she said : "here's [my name], my new friend :) " . The good news is I think she thought I was fun and cool, she was laughing at my bad jokes. I asked her "so we'll see each other again?" And she responded " Yea :) " . So, she only sees me as a friend for now?

POST: My dog is a four month old half chihuahua half wirehair terrier mix. She used to be a sweet adorable dog, housebroken, and two weeks ago she got into some sort of manic state and started chewing on everything and pooping on everything. She has ruined two laptop chargers, four cellphone chargers, a whole slew of my daughter's toys (including some toys that used to be mine when i was her age and an expensive parasol my mother bought her) and has recently started getting into my potted plants. I walk her twice a day, feed her well, and she always has water. I work from 8-3 every day but in the afternoon my daughter and I walk her and play with her. I have tried lots of things like putting "phooey" on my rug (which she also ruined along with my decorative couch pillows) and keeping her in a crate all day. The problem with crate training is that she cries from the moment i put her in it until the moment i take her out. Im at my wits end and sort of desperate. I can't afford to replace this stuff anymore, and if I can't find some sort of remedy soon I am going to take her to the humane society, despite the fact that both my daughter and I love our "molly wolly."

She has this dog, kind of a poodle or something (not exactly sure on the breed, small, white, kind of curly hair). She (dog) is cool in the dog park, pretty decent on a leash, but in her own dwelling, does not like men. Dog has no history of abuse by men, but the dog does not like men. She is pretty territorial and barks when I even get close to her closet door (where she keeps the dog when I'm around, it's a huge closet, no sketchy neglect or anything). Getting to the point where I have to meet this small beast and make nice-nice. What is the best way to do so? Apparently, she nips at hands/heels and will just stare me down and growl the entire time. Should I arrive with treats?

POST: Ok so me and (lets call her) Lily have been dating for three weeks but hanging out for awhile before that. We're young and stupid so people (including) her are acting like we're soul mates already but honestly? I'm really not feeling it, our conversations are the exact same every time (we have like 3 topics we rotate between; music she likes, cheesy pickup lines and family guy. :| ), we have no real shared interests, different outlooks on life and the things I see as cringe worthy, petty or naff she finds hilarious, important and emotional. She's a very nice person and has all the best intentions but I just don't see any real connection and she obviously does. My plan was, obviously, to end the relationship. I've got an important week coming up next week with some University Interviews and the such and I decided I wanted it done by then, to have it out of my mind, so I was planning on doing it tomorrow. Yesterday, however, I pissed her off (turned down an offer to go hang out at hers after school because I had prior arrangements with friends, which I think is reasonable, right?) and she's been bouncing between depression and extreme niceness since. I then found out from a mutual friend that she's bought me an expensive festival ticket for Christmas AND today she's been extra, extra nice, throwing compliments at me and just told me she's bought me another present. She keeps talking about the future and I'm trying to deflect but its really hard to not accidentally reveal anything over text and stay honest. :| I really don't want to hurt her too badly but its clear to me that she's already very attached, in a relatively brittle emotional state and she's invested a lot of money in a gift she probably won't be able to get money back on.

I searched this subreddit for a thread that would answer my questions, but didn't come up with anything quite like my issue so I hope I'm not posting something that's been posted 1000x. I've got a Sallie Mae issue that I have no idea what to do with. We recently started receiving phone calls, letters, and collection notices from Sallie Mae for over $10,000 in loans from Sallie Mae. I realize this is not a large sum of money in the grand scheme of things, but the problem is my husband never took a loan from them. When he was in high school, the school had everyone fill out a FAFSA during their senior year. He did not qualify for aid since his parents combined income was "too much" His parents paid for his college in full, in cash. He graduated 7yrs ago. I called Sallie Mae to try to figure out what was going on. They said the loan was sent directly to the school. The school has no record of ever receiving money from Sallie Mae for my husbands tuition. Sallie Mae says the school is wrong, and the school received money that we now owe. When we asked Sallie Mae about the loan application, their response was when he filled out the FAFSA that was him asking for a loan, accepting any loan, and agreeing to the terms of the loan. We've asked for some kind of paper work, and they cant provide any. They have offered us no resolution other than paying the loan off. They refuse to work with us at all. And in the mean time report him as delinquent every month, destroying my husbands once wonderful credit score. I'm at my wits end. Any suggestions for how to better get to the bottom of this?

I have never had issues talking to pretty girls, just was never a problem. It started with us just talking. She is really shy, to the point where she would text me to have me come by and hang out with her and her friends and not talk to me but give me quick glances. I know she liked me because when everyone went to sleep, she and I texted each other for about 3 hours. I'm not really nervous yet in the story, so it's going pretty well. After the get together is over and we all leave, she starts to text me on the way home (neither of us are driving). I begin to get a little nervous. I'm saying bland and boring things, not being my normal, outgoing, confident self. She begins to give me short one word responses, almost like she doesn't want to talk. The next day I give her a good morning text. It's the same deal. Short one word responses. I am taking way too long to respond, just unusually boring things coming from me. Later on, she just flat out stops texting me back. It's been a whole day and no response. I haven't texted her again, and was just kind of waiting. I don't know what to do.

Feels like nothing can be done. Help? POST: We've been together for three years. My boyfriend called me a fatass to his mother two months ago. I saw the text when I went through his phone (he allowed me 100% transparency because of a previous trust problem with him). His mother told him not to talk about me that way, which was nice, but she didn't dispute it. The thing is, I didn't think I was that fat before all this. If I lost 20 pounds, I'd be skinny. Maybe I'm not carrying the weight in the right places, or I could just be in denial about what I look like. But I can't let it go. It keeps me up every night. I lay down at ten, I don't fall asleep until 1 because I toss and turn thinking about it. I get anxiety attacks over it. He keeps trying to assure me that he didn't mean it, and that he just said it because he was angry. I can't believe him, though. There's been some obvious weight gain since the beginning of our relationship, but I didn't think it was enough to be a cause for concern. My BMI is 23.6. A little on the higher end, but not overweight. Still within normal range. I can't even think about anything sexual with him. It's weird, I'm almost the one who's repulsed by him. Every time he tries to initiate something, I just hear "fatass" over and over again. I wonder if he'll look at and focus on my problem areas. I don't fantasize about him anymore. I simply don't wan to have sex with him again. Ever. I keep thinking that I just need time to get over it, but it's been a long time. And there's nothing he can do to fix it. TL;DR: . Assistant:

I graduated in 2002 and joined the Air Force. While I was in, I worked on Radar Jamming Pods and their Test Stations. I was young and it was my first time away from home, so I didn't pursue my Associates like I should have. I was Honorably Discharged in 2006 and I moved back home. January 2007, I enrolled in the local community college and started an AAS in Biotechnology. I gave up on that, changed my major, and instead, graduated with an AAS in Electronics Engineering Technologies in May 2010. I looked for work in my field, but ended up as a Shipping Supervisor for a bakery in October 2010. I'm still here. What I'm looking for is direction...I want to work in a field relating to computers. I've put off getting any Comptia Certs, because I don't know if they're worth the effort / money. I just withdrew from CTU's Online program, due to time constraints and a lack of instruction from the courses I was taking. I did take a Web Design course during my time there and I enjoyed it. Should I try and obtain a second AAS? A Bachelor's degree program is likely out of my reach, due to work and money. I'm including my resume for any pointers you may have.

POST: I'm a recent graduate with a focus in media development. Something that's very hard to find where I am currently. I have always known that I would have to move to California eventually, in fact I've been excited for it. I moved back home with my mom and Step-dad while I looked for work, but nothing has really panned out the way I had hoped. The main reasons being that I lack hand-on experience in my field (which, like I said is hard to find here) and I'm far away from where the jobs are that I'm applying for, which makes it harder for them to hire me (according to recruiters). This makes my main issues location and experience, but since I haven't been able to find anything that can resolve my experience issue.. I need to resolve the location issue. On to the main event: I informed my mom (about a week ago) that I was thinking about moving to LA using the money I have saved up and I should be able to get a job in retail (2.5 years experience in a nationwide company. I'm looking into contacting the location managers about openings). The first and immediate words out of her mouth were "that's the stupidest idea I've ever heard." My mom is very black-and-white. If she doesn't understand something she doesn't like it. In the past she has called my psychological research (which spanned 3 universities) childish and that she never thought I'd graduate my university and it was a mistake for me to go. On the other side of things, the rest of my family (that I have told my plans to so far) all seem very supportive. I still live with my mom for the time being (I plan to move at the end of next month). So I don't want the last weeks before I leave to be a constant shit show about me making a big mistake or something, but I also don't want to be backing my car out with all my stuff and say "btw I'm leaving to move across the country". What do I do, oh wise Reddit? TL;DR: . Assistant:

My friend who I have known since college got into a relationship, married and had a premie child in under a year, since then she has insisted that she cannot work, and that her husband work 60+ hours between 2-3 part time jobs to support them. Since the child was born she has become a helicopter parent, very rarely letting others watch her child, claiming the child has several disorders (some have been diagnosed, others haven't) No one is good enough to watch her child. It's been over 2 years, and she is still insistent on being a stay at home mom even though her husband brings in under 30K to support them and is very rarely home. She is constantly complaining about communication and financial issues to me, I keep suggesting she looks to find work as currently neither her nor her husband have health insurance, the toddler is covered by government support. Any time I bring it up, she gets very defensive and claims that "family is the most important thing" and she "doesn't want a stranger raising her child" She will make excuses that childcare is to expensive (which it is pricey) but many moms do go back to work. To make matters worse, she knows I am fairly well off, and will often "attack" me for not understanding financial hardships, or not understanding being a mom. While I have been lucky, I have also been living off of about 900, to 1500 a month while I'm finishing school. So it's not like I haven't (or am) experienced budgeting, or being low income. I've been losing respect for her as I think she could help with the financial issues they are currently facing. She has a college degree, he doesn't. On top of the low income, they have several loans to pay off. Am I horrible for wanting to cut ties? Has anyone else been able to keep a friendship in this situation? I feel very stressed by this friendship currently. TL;DR: . Assistant:

After a month of NC, I ask to visit him (was in the same city) and he wants to get back together, but he wouldn't even tell me how he was feeling!

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Can someone please help me fix my micro SD card? POST: Ok so here's the situation. I got a nook color and I liked it. Then I got the SanDisk SD card for it, an 8gig card. Then I experimented with Nook honey or whatever it was called, and it worked fine, put in the card and the nook boots into nook honey. Then I took the card out and put it away so I could boot the nook up normally. So the nook gets full and I decide I want to wipe the card and just use it as normal for now. And.. I pop it in and it says "boot" and it's only 117mb. I tried to reformat it and it still says it's only 113mb usable. This is an 8 gig card. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I turned an 8gig microSD card into a 113mb card, how can I fix the card back to new?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: What is love, really? I'm on a quest to find out. I need your help. POST: I'm on a mission to find what love really is. What being in love, and the relationship between love and our lives is. We've got limited amount of time (maybe 80 years) and energy (only a tolerable amount of bad experiences) to pursue love, so what is a person to do with it? How do you know if you can commit? What signs can a person read to recognize if a person is right *enough* for you or not? **Personal Context**: I'm a 23yr old male, currently single but with a few previous long relationships. These past months I've been thinking about this, especially because a friend of mine is enduring this quest without realizing it. She broke up with her boyfriend and got back together with him, but she know that she doesn't *really* love him. She's fine with him, he's a nice kid, she's optimistic about him - but I think she's not in control. She's letting the other guy take the wheel and drive (the other guy knows how to get philosophical and smart, giving new perspectives), and I think that ain't right. Or is it? How much love does there need to be to justify intimacy and trust? How do you know if it is enough? Is it just there, from the beginning, without even noticing? Can it grow from where it isn't before? Is it something you recognize, or something you *feel*? How deep really is love hidden? Is it something you find in the relationship, or is it something that the relationship finds in you? In how you have become? In how you feel, who you are, and all of that? **But beware**: I'm on a quest on figuring this stuff out. *Anything* you can tell me helps. From advise to my friend, to further context, to psychological input, videos, cultural references -- *anything*. Thank you so much for your help, reddit! TL;DR: . Assistant:
Help me figure out the best general practice on how the whole topic of love should be handled by each and every one of us for our lives.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I [21M] had a one-night stand with a friend of a friend [21?F] couple of months ago. I matched with her on Tinder two days ago, but didn't sent a message immediately and now she unmatched me. Do you think it's ok to send her a FB message? POST: So at a party (which was at my neighbours house) we met and we hit it off pretty well. Evening turned in to night and we were both a bit tipsy. One thing let to another and we wake up in my bed. When she leaves I forgot to ask for her number and I don't think about her for a couple of months. But then while mindlessly meatjudging on Tinder one night I see her pop up and after swiping to the right we instantly match. I didn't send her a message immediately and I kinda forgot about it until today when I wanted to send her a message. But now she unmatched me and I kinda feel that she thinks I didn't recognize her. So I want to send her a short facebook (we have mutual friends and I know her name) message saying something along the lines of: "hey I know I didn't send you a message instantly, but I did recognize you and I'm sorry if I made you think otherwise." I want to send her a message explaining it (and maybe to try to fuck her again because it was good) but I don't wanna seem like a creep. Do you think it'd be okay to send her a message? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Had one-night stand, forgot about it, get matched on Tinder, forgot about it, got unmatched on Tinder, feel guilty. Send message Y/N?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/askwomenadvice TITLE: Should I get rid of my mole? 16 Male POST: I have a mole that has been kinda bothering me for the past year or so. I've had it my whole life, but recently I began getting self conscious about it. It is located between [the 12 and 15 spot in the left side]( The problem with the mole is that it is raised and it is way darker than my skin tone, so it stands out. I've never really gotten any criticism or teases about it. It isn't too big. [It is around the size of this, but way darker]( I kind of want to get rid of it, but I also don't because I feel like I will be missing a part of me when I do. What are you guys' thoughts on it? TL;DR: . Assistant:
I have a mole near my chin that stands out, but I am afraid to remove it because I think i'll be missing a "part of me".

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/askwomenadvice TITLE: Needing help finding out what she thinks is the perfect ring POST: I (31m) am ready to go ring shopping for my girlfriend (27f). Problem is, I can't find out her ring size or which kinds of rings she prefers. Because I want to make this perfect, I've browsed every damn Facebook post, picture, and Instagram post that she has and can't find anything. Her number 1 friend hates me (for her own selfish reasons) so I can't ask her. I have enlisted the help of some of her other friends but they all haven't had that discussion, so here's where I need help, kind ladies and gentleman of Reddit. I need ideas on how can I have people pry for this information without it being obvious to her. I'm completely perplexed by how to do this. And FYI I try to find ways to pry information from her passively and she tells me that "she isn't gonna spill that info, and that I gotta find ways to figure it out" and she thinks that I definitely should work for it and I'm 100% ok with that. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Needing help and ideas on how myself and her friends can pry engagement ring size and preferences from my future fiancée / wife.

And then all the doors close and the lights turn off. And finally there is a period of time where there is quiet, an opportunity for peace. Wouldn't that be nice? It's a shame, because this is when I'm supposed to be sleeping. *Recharging my batteries* so I can get up early and join in tomorrow. But despite being immersed in nonsense, I've kept some of my wits. So I think, *fuck that*. If there is going to be a break from noise, I'm going to experience it while I'm conscious. I'm going to incorporate at least a *por*tion of my waking life into silence. So I take a goddamn walk. It doesn't matter where, I've got a backpack, and a notebook, and some god damn glowsticks I picked up at the 99cent store. It's going to be great. Between the mental fits, at least. There is no reasoning with noise. I don't have the energy to care to explain why. Though it is interesting, in a certain light. Reason requires a connection. A common ground. You can't connect with a clashing cymbal. Maybe you could in a esoterically spiritual, Fibonacci sequence fractal-tone sort of way. In a foreign language. But then you've disconnected from your own rationality. It's like, you've got a tree in England, which is your mind, and I've got my mind tree in Delaware. And these mind trees are capable of connecting to each other, like in Avator or something, so I uproot my mind tree and sail it to England, to try to connect with you on your own turf. Some foreign place I know nothing about. Well, I don't live there, so I eventually sail my mind tree back to Delaware and as I get closer to my own home, everything foreign deteriorates in the new atmosphere, and I'm back from my spiritual trip with nothing to show for and no progress made. The TL;DR: . Assistant:
of this paragraph would be: I tried to explain why you can't connect with noise, but fuck it, just trust me.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [25F] with my ___ [25M] Longtime friends, casual hookups, more? POST: Okay so we have been friends for 10 years. Lost touch for a while then got back in contact and hooked up, this happens anytime we see eachother which could be a week apart or months, I just depends when we are both free. Should mention we don't live close. Well recently our hookups have been getting more, meaningful, for lack of a better word and now when he comes over I have this fear. I freeze and can't talk to him like a friend. He initiates conversation and it's all good in that respect but I have nothing to add to conversation, it's like my brain freezes and I go mute. I need to figure out how to change this. I really like him and know it's just not practical to be together as a couple but I have no idea when this is going to end. I have been putting off seeing other people and that's a BAD thing & refuse to commit to anyone because I know he's there. It's bad. Oh so bad. He's gunna get bored, I am bored but not being able to think when he's around. Stimulating conversation was our thing. I hope this makes sense? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Hooking up with a LD friend now I like him so much my voice or brain doesn't work when he's around, need to get my mojo back.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [19 M] and the girl I'm dating [18 F], have begun a semi long-distance type relationship because of school and I'm a little worried? POST: First off she doesn't go to school that far, only a couple hours away. We talked and she said that she wants to continue our relationship even when she left for school. What worries me is that it is a party school and although I feel like I can trust her to not cheat, it's just something that I can't help, but think about. It doesn't help that she told me a guy tried to hook up with her at a party the first day she was there. We haven't been dating for a long time, just a couple months and I do like her. My friends have been telling me to have girls in mind to move on with, if she does cheat, but I don't feel like i can do that. I'm also in school, so I don't know how often I would be able to visit her or if her residence allows visitors. She said she would come back to visit relatively often, but still it's something you can't help but think about. Anyways, I was wondering if I should break it off with her (At least for a while), so she can have her freedom to have fun at school or try to stay together. And what should I do, if she does cheat on me. Am I just being paranoid? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/jobs TITLE: Have been waiting weeks to hear back from a company I interviewed for. What should I do next? POST: Hi Everyone! First and foremost, thank you all for great content that helps the wonderful people of this sub educate themselves and eventually land jobs. I am similar to most of you (100+ applications, limited callbacks, still striving!) and have a question. I applied for a company about six weeks ago and got an email stating they wanted a phone interview (recruiter screening). After I completed the initial interview, I was passed on to the hiring manager for another phone interview. I was then asked to come in for a interview. After the interview, I asked the HR/Recruiter when I should expect to hear back about the position and was told it would be roughly 5 days. It has now been a little over three weeks since the interview and still nothing. I have emailed the recruiter twice since then, and each time he says "We still have not made a decision. I will know more in a week." The week then goes by and I hear nothing. Now, I know for a fact they were still (and probably still are) interviewing more candidates. Are they just stringing me along because they don't want to close the door on a potential candidate? Should I just take this as they are trying to get someone with better qualifications than me? I was supposed to get a response on Friday of last week and never got one. I'm not sure if I should keep going with this and do ANOTHER follow up, or if I should just take it as I was not the best fit and send a thank you letter. Any help would be great as to what my next move should be. Thanks a lot in advance. TL;DR: . Assistant:
I interviewed nearly a month ago for a job and every week they keep saying they don't have a decision yet. What do I do?
