We recently had our first argument about our money differences. I am the type that saves money and feel uncomfortable unless I have a decent cushion in my savings account. I rarely buy fun things for myself. My boyfriend is the type who rather spend his extra money and enjoy it. We both have known we have different spending habits since we've been together.\n\nHe has a lot of hobbies; playing guitar, drums, home brewing beer, motorcycle riding, etc. I don't really have any hobbies that require a lot of money to buy those types of things. We want to learn from each other. I need to be a bit more loose with my money and he would also like to try to save more.\n\nMy saving has allowed me to have a good credit score. So I am able to open accounts (ie a new cell phone account, get a loan for a motorcycle). My boyfriend is not able to do these things because of owing money on old accounts or a bad credit score.\n\nIt caused the first financial argument this weekend when he needed to use my bank account for his insurance to be pulled and his paychecks to be direct deposited into my account, as he doesn't have a bank account. I was worried he might overdraft, because the account is in my name. I wasn't very tactful about mentioning this fact. I was condescending , I said \"You can't be using the account for everything because you might cause overdraft fees.\" He was offended that I implied he would do this. He has been using this account for awhile and I have actually had to transfer money to avoid him over-drafting twice, but I never actually told him this when it actually happened. I brought it up during our argument last night, which isn't fair. I didn't feel like he understood where I was coming from in bringing it up\n\nWe know that money and finances can be a major component of relationships ending. So my question is, what is the best way that we can handle our differences without causing a problem in our relationship?", "role": "user" } ]

The final straws for me have been his recent need to start taking anti-depression meds, and her deciding to quit her job.

He looks at the xrays on file while I'm sitting in the chair letting the drugs slowly take effect (which I don't think they were) for an HOUR! They were constantly checking on me asking how I was then finally the dentist comes back and says that they have to send me to a different office to get a different type of xray, and that I would have to pay out of pocket. WTF? He said it was important because he was not sure if he would be comfortable pulling my teeth because they would be really difficult to get out. So my wife drives me over to this other office where we get the x-ray done then head back. Once back he takes a look at the xray and says, well I am not confident that I can get one of them out, and the others will be difficult but I can do them.... btw I am already livid. He says I should really go to a surgeon and see what they think, so I say \"OK write me a referral and I'll go get a second opinion on all 4 teeth\" Suddenly he backpedals saying, \"well I think I can do three of them\" to which I reply \"You think? Sorry, but that's just not good enough for me.\" I get the referral and walk out.", "role": "user" } ]

I yelled at a girl I thought cheated with him who didn't deny it, but she mightve been crazy. I thought this guy was the killer, and he said scary things to me. When I first got there, I couldve sworn I saw people getting hurt by him, and I thought the nurse who let me in had a gun and went after someone.

At first, I tried dodging by telling her that \"Athiesm is Unstoppable\" (which is the phrase printed on the back of the shirt) is just the guy's YouTube username (which it is), and that I don't necessarily associate with Athiesm.\n\n\"Necessarily?!\" she shrieked.\n\nFuck. I shouldn't have worded it like that. I explained to her that I do tend to lean towards \"some\" Athiest ideas after being exposed to them throughout the years. It didn't do much to calm her down. She begged me to not tell my grandmother, and she advised me to get rid of the shirt as soon as possible. \"I didn't raise you this way, catjack, and I'm not going to take credit for any of the ideas you've got in your head. Your grandmother would be mortified.\"\n\nI'm honestly not sure what to do at this point. Mom is extremely sad and disappointed, and I can't really change my beliefs. I could put on an act and pretend that I'm still loyal to God and I still pray at night, but it wouldn't be nearly as convincing now.", "role": "user" } ]

The fryer was already out and heated up so I made the fries in just a couple of minutes, no problem. After they were done I turned off the fryer and got them onto a plate. Here's where my fuck up begins. The problem is that when we don't need the portable fryer we put it on top of the fridge, and my problem is that I am 5'1\" so I am usually not the one to get the fryer down or put it up. In fact, I've never tried putting it back up at all. But there wasn't much space on the counter and I wanted to be considerate towards the other people in the house and put it up anyways. I managed to get it down slowly by standing on a chair before I was high, but when I went to put it back up while high I tried holding it like a waiter would hold a platter with my other hand solidly gripping the side of the wooden board that the fryer sits on. In hindsight, I should have done this after I let the oil cool down more. And it really didn't help that I was pretty baked. I put it up very slowly but when it was almost on top of the fridge the oil inside rocked the fryer from side to side and some of it came out of the top from under the lid and fell onto me. I pushed the fryer on top of the fridge without further incident but then I noticed that my chin and chest were burning. All I could think to do was put cold water all over where it hurt and try to wash the oil off. The oil hit my chin first before falling onto and into my shirt, but luckily my shirt absorbed most of it before it hit my chest. So all I got was a few mild and very annoying burns. And I pretty much spent the rest of the night reliving that event in my head and imagining what would have happened if I spilled it completely or if the oil was much hotter. The fries were delicious though.", "role": "user" } ]

You can probably guess what happened next, I stamped on a surprisingly large piece of dog shit. Or maybe it could be human shit, who knows. I don't know my shit. I didn't know what to do. My house was just two blocks away, but I didn't want to keep walking in my shitty slippers. So I decided I'd try to shake most of the shit off of it. I shook. Nothing happened. I shook harder. Nothing happened. This shit was made of super glue. I see the old lady who always wants to start a conversation with me for some reason; she's approaching me. I freak out. My arms pain really bad. So I shake my slipper really violently, and it comes off and flies right at the old. It hit her left boob, shit side up. I didn't know what to do, again. I was freaking out even more now. I had two options— wait, apologise, take my shitty slipper home and have a fucking long conversation with the annoying lady; or run home one slipper less.

My brother, deciding that the way our parents fed our cats contributed to our oldest cat's weight gain (He's been with us almost 16 years now, and has been fat since he was 2 or 3, and my brother has seemingly forgotten how often my mom treated the old cat with turkey and other cat treats), is trying to tell me that we need to only feed the kitten at certain times, and in certain portions.\n\nThat just feels wrong to me, since it's obviously going to still be growing, and I don't think he should be worried about weight gain in a kitten. And I'm not trying to tell him to leave a full bowl out all the time, but to just leave some in there for when the kitten gets hungry at a non-brother approved time.", "role": "user" } ]

I need some help. Me and my girlfriend have two cats who have gotten a little food obsessed. They were both kinda fat at one point so we, with the advice of our vet, put them on a diet of organic wet food (we use Prowl, the dehydrated stuff that you add water to).\n\nWell, they're getting a little obnoxious now. We used to keep their food on top of the fridge, but once they went on a diet they figured out how to climb up on top of the fridge, knocked the box over and ate like a half a box of dehydrated cat food. So, we moved it to our laundry room, on top of the washer/dryer combo. If we ever left the door cracked they were up there again, tearing into the box. The final straw came this weekend when we had left the door closed but they got it anyway! How you ask? Well we live in a loft, and they actually climbed on top of the bathroom (there's like four feet between the bathroom ceiling and the loft ceiling) found their way in the laundry room through the roof of the closet and tore open the box of food.\n\nI think partly they need something to do! We both work a lot and I take care of my grandma on the weekends so they're home alone a lot. I want one of those toys that you can put treats in and they have to play with it to get them out. I've tried Kong stuff, and while they love to play with the \"snowman ball\" they don't seem interested in/able to get out food I put in it (it came with some kind of salmon paste). I need a good toy that will let a little food out at a time to keep their attention away from raiding the food box and keep them entertained while we're gone.
