I have a daughter from a previous relationship and I have no problem starting conversations with those I'm interested in or even strangers for that matter. In the past I've been accused of not being communicative enough (this isn't limited to intimate relationships). It's not that I'm not excited or anything. I'm actually a great listener. I have a good memory. I go out of my way to help others *when they need it* but I fail at gifting and other subtle things.\n\nSo I'm wondering how I can show this woman that I am genuinely interested and that I've been listening without scaring her off. We've talked daily for the past few days and I've learned a lot about her hobbies and interests and I find her to be fascinating (and of course very attractive) so I would like to know that I've done everything from my end to get things off to a good start.\n\nAny help would be appreciated!", "role": "user" } ]

I have allowed him to remain on my cell phone provider's family plan (for free) as well as utilize one of my checking accounts to pay some of his bills with the small amount of money he has to his name.\n\nTonight I found out that he has overdrawn on the checking account, so I am going to close that tomorrow.

I can take responsible action concerning my end of things. But there seems to be nothing to motivate him. He has had ample time to go out and get a job. He was a big rig driver (all of those jobs he squandered), now he could at least go out and get a menial job just for the income, but he doesn't. He's exhausted his retirement, fails to drawn on his pension (because he believes that he can't 'yet', so he doesn't try...either way I think it is small and he only gets half because of a divorce settlement), and he's in the process of losing his house and everything he owns.\n\nAfter I close the accounts tomorrow, what do I do?!", "role": "user" } ]

I took her to the emergency room with her mom and she needed three doses of an IV painkiller, two doses of another IV painkiller and two doses of a muscle relaxant (also an IV).

He preceded to get very angry with me saying \"fair enough your grandma passed away yeah but you can't take it out on me.\" I apologised and I said I just really need him here right now like I am for him, which made me cry a bit more.\" he then said \"STOP CRYING! You've made me really angry and now you're crying to try and make me stop.\"\n\nThis was really hurtful for me. I have been very upset and being told my tears were manipulative hurt so much. I've felt quite awkward today with him. It's just so confusing when every time I'm upset, the situation still needs to be focused on him. Either because he ALSO has things going on or because he just brings the focus back onto him.\n\nI am finding it hard suppressing my emotions and them being undermined by somebody who is supposed to love me.\n\nHow can I deal with this situation?", "role": "user" } ]

She was twenty euros short, and remembered that she had given me 50 euros for emergencies. Which I had placed in my passport-carrier around my waist, under my clothes. While in airports getting out my passport simply involved lifting up my top slightly to remove my passport, on this evening I had chosen to wear a dress. Given that reaching under my dress to the purse would involve flashing my underwear to a shop of Spaniards, I decided that the most decent option was to plunge my hand down the top my dress, rummage for a while finding the zip on the passport holder, extracting the note and closing the zip, then to slowly remove my hand holding the 50 euro note without accidentally pulling up the dress. This attracted a fair few stares, and I was thankful to leave shortly afterwards.", "role": "user" } ]

She assumes he's cheating and parks her car around the corner so that when he eventually comes home, he will think she's at work and will incriminate himself. \n\nMorgan gets home and she flips the fuck out and now she demands a written letter from Morgan's supervisor stating he was in fact at work.", "role": "user" } ]

I posted in /r/SkincareAddiction and got the advise to check in with you guys here. I don't know the first thing about legal matters or where to start...\n\nThis is what happened:\n\nI went in for a Hydrafacial facial in June. The aesthetician did a Chemical Peel as a surprise upgrade without discussing it with me. The results were disaster. I had deep burns immediately afterwards that left scabs all over my face that took 3 weeks to heal. It goes without saying that during that time I was in a lot of pain as well/took days off work to sit in a dimly lit room and ice my face. The spots where I had the scabbing left red scars after the scabs closed up. I followed up with a dermatologist and he did a V-beam treatment to reduce the redness and it helped.\n\nThe salon has refused to refund the treatment or offer anything to help speed up the healing process. They are insisting that my reaction is completely normal and is a healthy part of the skincare process. The first time I went in seeking help they said that the only thing that will help with the pain and potential scarring is if I purchase their products for which I was quoted another $200! \n\nThe spa manager promised a full refund but ended up only offering a partial refund and has been unreachable since that time. I got fed up after a month of being in pain and dealing with the spa shenanigans so I called my credit card company and requested that they dispute this charge.\n\nWhat do I do now though? Ideally, I would like the spa to comp me what I paid for the dermatologist treatment to fix the scarring on my face that was caused by them and any products I need to use for healing.\nHas anyone been in this situation or know what I can do or expect in cases like this?", "role": "user" } ]

I am currently working full time and going to graduate school (which leaves me tired and gives little time to do anything else). I am a former athlete, I was actually playing two sports in college as recent as april, but ive spiraled downwards since then. I was 280 pounds when I graduated high school and 340 when I graduated college. In the four months since ive graduated ive gained 45 pounds mostly due to continuing my crap eating habits (way too much fast food and fried food) without really working out. \n\nI've known for a while that I needed to make a serious change, but it didnt really hit me until this morning when I went to put on a button up shirt for work and it ripped when I bent over. I know that this has gotten kind of rambling, but I guess the core question is how do you start? How did you break your fast food and junk food addiction and learn how to eat right (And what to even eat in the first place)? How do you motivate yourself to work out when you have little time and you're exausted (on tuesday-thursday I leave the house at 6:30am and get back at 8:15pm, so I feel like I never have the time to work out). What workouts did you do that you felt helped the most with limited time?\n\nSorry that this got so long, and if you read this far I really thank you.

It connected automatically, I ran the feed for a few seconds, worked like a charm, so we moved on. Assembly starts, about 15 minutes in and everything is going great. I'm backstage when I see our principal run up to microphone and tell everyone to exit the school immediately, as there is a potential terror threat in the area (I live in an area where things like this never happen; we've had one lockdown in my 10 years of schooling here) obviously, everyone's more than a little worried. Everyone files out, myself included. As I'm standing outside, a friend walks up and tells us what he found out from a teacher. One of the students, while trying to connect to the wifi, had \"discovered\" a network... My network: \"Taliban Secure Communications.\" needless to say, the student went to a teacher, things escalated, and the school ordered a full evacuation.

My boyfriend and I always joke that he is a good cat except for when he is bad. There are only two things that he regularly does that are bad behaviors: scratching the sofa and drinking from the fish bowl. He knows that he isn't supposed to do either and I know he knows because when he sees he is caught he stops and walks away.\n\nWhen he was younger, we used a squirt gun to try to deter him from such behaviors. It worked at first but he then got used to it and would just accept it. (He is now content joining in baths and showers) Then we tried hissing. I am not sure that really helped much either. My boyfriend now bites his ear for discipline. After each time he misbehaves, we chase him out of the room or area but five minutes later, he is back at the fish bowl. I have started to hiss at him while he is at the fish bowl, pick him up and bring him to his water and when he scratches at the sofa I bring him to his scratch post. Is there more that we can do to teach him to not do these behaviors or are we just going to have to continue to keep a keen eye on him?", "role": "user" } ]

We just started having sex last week and it seems to be giving her a lot of anxiety. \n\nSome background: I am 30 and she is 22. this was the first time she has ever had sex. I have had many sexual partners. Some things she has mentioned is that she was surprised she doesn't have an orgasm every time. Also, that sometimes it hurts her. I tried explaining that both of these things are very normal, but this is the first time I have had sex with a virgin. Every time after we finish she seems like she is stressed out/full of anxiety/nervous and not herself. \n\nI am trying my best to be understanding, go slow, make her feel comfortable, but i feel lost as to what to do. I know losing your virginity can be an emotional thing, especially for a girl, but I don't know how to make this better for her. I have tried talking with her about it, but she doesn't seem to be able to articulate what is going on. \n\nSo reddit please help. Do you have any insight as to what she is going through? Any advice as to what I can do to make her more comfortable?", "role": "user" } ]

It's hard for her because she wants the security of marriage and helping her mom with wedding stuff is drudging up emotions she ignores before in he name of not being \"one of those girlfriends.\" \n\nI've secretly felt that he wants the benefits of a marriage without any of the responsibility, but I want to make sure that I'm giving her the best advice. Personally, I think she should end it. Yes, he's wonderful in most ways, but he refuses to talk about the future and is making her feel like a placeholder. To me, not talking about it is the problem. It will be hard, but I think she needs to end it before he (IMHO) uses her any longer. Am I missing something to consider? \n\nJust to let everyone know, D's parents are still together and seem to have a good marriage.

She was always a beautiful girl and her nose was perfectly nice and was not by any means hideous looking or disfiguring. She however, goes and gets a nose job and it wasn't a very well done job at all. The new nose doesn't flatter her face and she objectively looks worse than she did before. I think the entire procedure was unnecessary and have always found this girl to be superficial and shallow with her extreme standards of beauty. I told my sister, in casual conversation when she showed me pics of her friend's new nose, that I did not like it. And the nose looked super odd and the nose job was so unnecessary since she was already a beautiful girl to begin with. \n\nAnother example is when I told her about a friend of mine whom I have always been concerned about. This woman is inloved in a long distance marriage with a foreign man who only spends maybe 3 months out of the year with her. I am supportive of her decision to be with him since she loves him but privately, I am deeply concerned and don't think he's a very good guy.
