I know, it's such a silly thing to worry about a bunny, ha, but here goes. My girlfriend just bought an adorable little bunny, and I like the little guy as well. We usually sleep at each others' places since we only live a few miles away from each other. Short story is that I like my place, a nice clean studio, and she likes her place, a house full of people with a lot of character. We manage by spending time at each others' places pretty evenly. Anyway, in the past she's had a habit of planning gatherings at her house with her friends/roommates that ends up meaning she's going to sleep at her place, which is fine, except that a few times she's planned these things several days in a row. She's gotten upset at me in the past for wanting to hang out at my place. I've called her out on it, basically telling her that if she wanted to hang out with her roommates and sleep with at her place, that it was fine, but that didn't change the fact that I wanted to hang out at my place, and maybe we needed to sleep separately sometimes. We have been dating for about a year, and are in love with each other.\n\nAnyway, she has admitted that she can be selfish at times, but has done pretty well at understanding what I want recently. However, I'm worried that she's going to use her new bunny as an \"excuse\" to spend more time at her place. What is a good way to manage my worries and express my concern/wants to her if a similar situation of her always wanting to spend time at her place and expecting me to come over arises?", "role": "user" } ]

We dated throughout my college experience while he went into the workforce. He drove up every weekend (about an hour away) to spend time with me since we were not allowed cars on campus. Once I was able to get my car on campus, I would drive to his house and spend a few days there. During this time, even if we fought, those weekends are what I lived for. We could never wait until we could be alone. He's incredibly kind and considerate, and always treated me so well. He's patient. He makes me a better person. We are planning on moving in together sometime in the summertime, depending on the job search.\n\nNow that I am back at home after graduation and living 20 minutes away, I've noticed a shift. We both work two different jobs (I work during the day and on weekends) while he works second and overnight shifts. Maybe we're tired, maybe it's my birth control, but I don't feel that impatience anymore, I just want to cuddle. I resent that he touches me so much sometimes. I sometimes dread going over there because he constantly wants to touch me (lovingly, not aggressively or anything) because then I feel like I have to have sex with him or risk hurting his feelings or giving him blue balls or whatever. He never makes me feel this way, he can beg sometimes, but it's more of a \"aw man come on\" type of deal. Sometimes I just want to be alone with no one touching me or wanting me to do things. \n\nWe're becoming mean to one another. We are getting in more explosive fights more often, about little things. \n\nIs this normal? I feel like a horrible person. I miss him when he's gone, and I'm excited when I am going to see him, but I just feel...empty at the same time. Not that I don't love him, but like something fundamental has changed and I can't put my finger on it. I'm really just rambling, but is this a phase? Or is this it? :/", "role": "user" } ]

Even then he has trouble with getting/keeping an erection and sometimes won't even reach orgasm. Not to mention no midnight nookie, no morning sex, and minimal affection outside the bedroom. \n\nWhenever I bring up my issues with this he always says he just has a low sex drive and not to make him feel bad for it. I understand the low libido, but short of vigorous masurbation I'm not sure how to stay satisfied and faithful. (Having an open relationship is out of the question for him.)\n\nThe other aspects of our relationship are fine. I love him to pieces. There's no bullshit drama, we share most of the same values, and despite our differences we tend to compliment each other's personalities rather well.

I was thinking at looking at those help-ex sites and couch surfing. Cheaper the better, and I dont mind doing work to support my stay. A major thing we both love is nature, so I want to encompass those sights, but not miss out on the city too.\n\nSo, my question to you guys; any suggestions? Sights I need to see, things I need to do, things I shouldn't do? Great places to stay in, terrible places? Some sort of magical convenient trail that can show us awesome things on our way to Berlin? \n\nI know this is broad as all hell, but I feel like I am being dropped in the ocean and I have to navigate something. I've even drawn a map to help myself visually try to map it out. Still confused. So any thoughts, comments, ideas, anything, would make a huge difference.", "role": "user" } ]

I was upset about this and confronted him later on, he just said \"I thought you needed space, sorry\" and that was that. He repeats the same behaviour.\n\nI just don't know what to do.

I'm not entirely sure this is the right place to post this, but as I peruse here quite a bit I thought it would be worth a shot.\n\nThe backstory: in June I got a very sore tooth treated with a root canal. The dentist supposedly removed the roots and filled my tooth with a temporary filling. They told me to come back in a week to complete the next step but could not get me in for a month. I went back and they said I had a lot of bacteria and to come back in another month after a course of antibiotics. I came back again a month later and they said it was bleeding excessively and had to drain, so I should come back in another month. At this point I was moving out of state in a week and told them so, and they essentially showed me the door. After moving, I went to another dentist who did an x-ray and said the tooth was severely decayed and needed extraction. I did experience some pain in the days leading up to the extraction and the oral surgeon told me there was still some root tissue in the supposedly completed root canal causing me pain, which isn't entirely unheard but worth noting.\n\nAlright, the part I need advice on: just yesterday, I received a bill in the mail from my former dentist for $300. I called to ask what this was for and they said the insurance company wouldn't cover the incomplete procedure. I find it very interesting that I got a bill for this in November, months after my business with them had ended.

I know at this age and the devotion we have to each other it's nonsense for us not to live together, but I don't know how to get her to break through that wall and tell her parents that we are moving in together.\n\nOne of our biggest issues is the loss of friends over the years. When we started dating we each had a good pool of friends but over the years those friends have just about abandoned us for various reasons.\n\nI feel it's almost impossible to propose even though it's all i think about. I depresses me that I would have to propose and then we'd have to go our separate ways after the proposal instead of enjoying the big step in our lives together.", "role": "user" } ]

I have been working for 11 months at a big accounting firm. My background is in IT and wanted to do something more closely related to technology. I started interviewing and I received an offer for $7K more than what I am currently making. This came as great news, except I just learned that HR is going to get me an opportunity within my current firm to do something a lot cooler but I'd keep the same salary. The problem with the new offer is the distance to my current place and where my SO lives. I live currently close to Downtown and she lives 30 minutes south, the new job would be 40 minutes north west of where I currently live. Just before I got the offer I was looking to move closer to her, but that would mean about 1.5 hrs of driving every day. I have made numbers and the raise covers the price of gas. Is there anything I should do in addition to that to be able to make a better decision? I feel like if I stay at my current firm I'll be able to get an even bigger raise if I move out in the next few years, but not sure that this is the case. I'm confident since unemployment numbers are steadily going down every day. What would you do?", "role": "user" } ]

Instead, I let out the wettest fart of my life, which coincided with an awful ass-plosion. Yes, I did not vomit--I shat my pants. And let me tell you, I shatt'em bad. My only reprieve was that I was still wearing briefs and hadn't yet switched to boxers. In shame and terror, I eked my way to the nurses office and told her I was sick (I actually just told her I vomited up a storm, rather than admit the truth). She calls my teacher to tell her I am going home; my mom arrived with 20 minutes or so to pick me up. (By the grace of God there was no stank or leakage). I walk upstairs to my bedroom, legs tightly clenched, and proceed to carefully remove pants and underwear; I stuffed all evidence into an old pillow, which I tossed into the garbage and immediately emptied.

They typically have lower self-esteem and are more prone to depression. From an evolutionary perspective, these people are less likely to survive because they don't receive enough energy from not properly eating food to run away from a survival risk, such as a lion.\n\nObesity (not just being overweight) is dangerous because of an abnormally large amount of fats that drastically increases the risk for heart attacks and strokes. Again, from an evolutionary perspective, these people are less likely to survive because they are unable to run very quickly.\n\nHomosexuality and bisexuality, on the other, are acceptable social behaviors nowadays, even though they have higher rates of depression than heterosexual persons and are frequently ridiculed and assaulted for their sexual deviance. From an evolutionary perspective, homosexuality is a self-destructive behavior in the sense that none of the genetic material of the homosexual gets passed on to the next generation.

She agreed and we also went the route of saying we're both 20 and it's hard because we're in college and we both have different urges. We both agreed that we both wonder if there's anything else out there that is better than one of us because this is the first serious relationship either one of us has had. She said she wished we could take a break for 2 weeks and see how it feels (not like going to go fuck anything that moves break but a see how it feels to be single) and then go back to normal right after. \n\nThis is impractical. We both value the relationship very much but for me it seems to have gone stale, mainly because we usually do the same thing when we're at school because lack of transportation/laziness.

We met at work and saw each other pretty much everyday. Recently he took a new job about 200 miles away so we see each other about every 3 weeks.\n\nMy dilemma is that he WILL NOT talk about the future. Ever. Not at all. Nothing. And it's hard to be in this LDR without any plan of physically being in the same location again or even knowing that thats something we both want. When we were with each other all the time the future didn't seem to matter as much. But now that he's gone and we're trying to stay together I feel like I need some reassurance as to WHY we're engaging in a LDR with no foreseeable end. Some reason that it's worth doing it.\n\nI have tried talking to him about it. He mentioned that he didn't want to be one of those people who start taking the next step in their relationship because they reach a certain age. He also said he can't tell me he knows he wants to be with me because he doesn't know, and that he doesn't know what will happen in the future. \n\nI just don't know if this is a waste of my time and energy. I know that if it was one of my friends asking me for advice I would tell them to let him go and move on if he can't make up his mind about you. But for some reason it's harder to see when it's your own life. I know he loves me and I know he's indecisive about almost everything else. Maybe he's taking me sticking by him for granted? I just don't know.\n\nSo should I stay or should I go? Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated.", "role": "user" } ]

On Monday the 5th of January 2015 (when college employees returned), my manager turned in all of the timestamps from our department, and found out that the people in charge of payroll decided that they didn't have time to process all 6 of them and told us that we would have to wait until the 22nd of January to get paid. \n\nWhat exacerbates this is that before break my manager was informed that if all time-sheets were turned in on the first day back from break, that they would be processed and put on the payday for the 8th of January. \n\nSo, as a student already struggling to make ends meet and bills to pay, I'm sitting here getting half of what I should be getting payed on the 8th of January.\n\nI had a meeting with the lady who is charge of payroll, and over the course of the better part of an hour, all that I got from her was a \"Well, you guys are just going to have to wait until the 22nd, there's nothing I can do.\" \n\nWhat steps, if any, can I take here?

I played 4 years of softball in college and was in pretty good shape. That was obviously attained with a ton of vigorous exercise. I am a year out of school now and have put on about 20 pounds. A blown-out knee suffered in my last year somewhat derailed my workouts for a bit immediately after the season. I did not get my knee fixed as I found myself to be able to live through the pain. I've always been a bit thicker/muscular as a power hitter and catcher. I weighed 180 throughout most of my playing days, with a minimum of 170 3 years ago attained through illness. Now I am sitting around at about 205-210.\n\n I am by no means obese, I still carry a lot of muscle mass, but I would like to get to a normal fit living weight of 160. My exercise regime is working out 6 days a week. Each including full body circuit style strength training around 30 min and either a run (2-3 miles)/bike (5-6 miles)/elliptical(30 min) session involving intervals. \n\nMy problem is the inability to lose any weight. I think my body is used to a pretty high intensity workout program therefore that isn't helping me cut weight. I can't quite go back to old exercise habits as my knee hates jumping, heavy squats, excessive running. My diet consists of mostly veggies and fruits during the day and then a larger sit down dinner with my family consisting of a meat, veggie, potato/pasta. I recently found myself to be lactose sensitive, so maybe cutting dairy out will provide positive results. Using my calorie tracker, I am usually right around 1500 cals/day. I admit to frequent (weekend) drinking, but I try to alter my food cal intake those days to make room for the booze.\n\nI am out of ideas on how to shed these pounds. I really don't want to have to go to extreme paleo or upping my exercise routine. Thinking maybe I have additional sensitivities to foods that won't burn off for me?

I had a brain mass, but my illness was a horrible generalized anxiety that was just confusing everything. I would pass out, get headaches and be at general unease.

Over the last two years Bill slowly started letting the place go. He stopped washing clothes, he stopped cleaning dishes, he stopped doing nearly everything. He puts food in the fridge and forgets about it, hiding it in the back or in the shelves.\n\nBill has piles of filthy laundry pushed against the wall. Stacks of molding plates, glasses with spoiled milk, bags of month old snacks, half eaten take out surround his bed. Their apartment smells like a landfill, their windows and door have to stay open to ward off the smell.\n\nAbout three months ago, when semester started again I noticed that my friend, Bob, developed a cough. I figured it was back to school sickness and would go away; it didn't. About three weeks later I took Bob to the urgent care center. They said his cough was caused by some sort of contaminant, that he must have been breathing it for quite some time. And that because of it he had developed a mild Asthma.\n\nFast forward two months, Bob is still coughing, Bill is still living in his filth. Bob wants to kick him out but is afraid that Bill will not be able to find somewhere to go. He wants to torment Bill, to make his life as 'uncomfortable' as possible. Bob's end goal is to make it so Bill decides to move out and saves him the hassle of forcing him out.\n\nHow have you dealt with filthy roommates?\n\nHow do we make his life hell?", "role": "user" } ]

The problem is, one which I am only starting to realize is, she is far smarter in these than I am. I am kinda an impulsive person who hates planning and thinking through things, and when she ask me to help her with finances or sort out the insurance etc I struggle to be helpful. She doesn't really mind because she is more than capable of doing stuff herself, but the fact that I can't makes me deeply insecure.\n\nWhat's worst is my current relationship reminds me of my parent's, which was really a dysfunctional one. My mom was the smart one, and my dad was at best, average in everything but had a bad case of insecurity mixed with enlarged ego. He had a hard time listening to my mom's advice or opinions and often made bad decisions that he will blame others for. My mom also had an issue, she enjoys belittling my dad and teasing him as dumb or slow, which probably contributed to my dad's insecurity and big ego.\n\nAlthough my GF is really cool now, I am really afraid one day she'll turn into my mom and start treating me like an idiot, because compared to her, I know I am one. Sometimes my fear is so real that it intrude into my thoughts suddenly, for example we are relaxing on the sofa watching TV, this fear comes and makes me think about ending my relationship, out of nowhere. \n\nHonestly, I don't really know why I am feeling this way, but I certainly feel it and I hate it.
