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

Since I was 14 I have had a crush on my best friend (well... more than a crush) and she has had the same feelings for me. However, we were both too scared to make the first move and entered a bit of a stalemate for four years before she got asked out by some guy and I tried to move on. I started dating my girlfriend shortly afterwards and it lasted about 8 months, then things fell on the rocks on account of an acquaintance of ours and she dumped me. We are giving it a second go but things are still really shaky and one of the biggest problems is the situation with my aforementioned best friend... We still have strong feelings for each other and almost every night after she's had a few and I'm honestly too exhausted to give a damn (pretending not to have feelings is hard ok?) we always turn to talking about how things could have been and how we each wanted the other to make the first move. My girlfriend has started to notice the tension and fully expects me to dump her though I have no intention of doing so... Also I should mention that one of my exes came out of the woodwork, falsely accused me of sleeping with and impregnating her and told my current girlfriend who now has no faith in me at all. Her parents also hate me due to the original scandal with the mutual acquaintance and for some reason, she is blaming herself for all of this and wants me to dump her while also not wanting me to dump her...

She then told me I wouldn't be able to see my son, who I would see at least once a week to hang out, work on homework, or use the season tickets we had to one of the local sports teams. Afterwards, she told me she would re-evaluate the situation in four months and that I would be able to see my stepson one more time to speak with him (under the supervision of his aunt). After the meeting she blocked me on all social media and had my son do the same.\n\nI was devastated because I had lost two of my best friends. \nThe last 16 weeks have been some of the most difficult I've ever faced.

I thought I was doing the right thing by letting her use my place for free, but now I'm wondering if I should bring this up. \n\nIf I'm ever in a position again where I let someone use my apartment, should I make some sort of stipulation about energy usage?

But, she decided to come visit me two days before the wedding, at night, at my place, which is about an hour from where everyone else lives. Sam asked me to keep it secret, so I did, didn't ask why. Flash forward two days to the wedding, I find out now that, yes, Sam likes the other guy, and isn't looking for a relationship (which I was and still am), but as far as I knew, she'd shown that she liked me. So I made a pretty believable excuse about how I was tired (I'd been driving back and forth about an hour each way pretty steadily for the past three days) and left at the reception. Yes, I know it was horribly wrong, but I was a bit upset, and didn't want to cause a scene or anything. Flash forward to today, Anna accuses me of lying, so I tell her the truth and apologize. Then comes the fun part: I tell Anna about Sam's visit and all hell breaks loose. Now I'm the bad guy because Sam swears up and down that she doesn't even know where I live, and Anna, for some reason, trusts her more than me, even though I've been friends with Bill for over a decade, and until now, we'd all have taken bullets for each other.

Especially because my current interest is an amazing individual, and I can't understand how I got so lucky.\n\nI don't know if I'm carrying over TOO many remnants of my bad experience into this relationship, or if I am just being cautious by putting my feelings on hold until I can determine how true his are.

I'll text you.\"\n\nI basically said if she's not feelin it, she's not feeling it. I told her that I did enjoy her company and I wanted to see her again. She thanked me. Now I understand I probably got let down the easy way, which is fine, but normally I'd just move on to the next relationship and not look back... But there's something about her that I like I don't want to give up on so easily.\n\nIf I don't hear back from her within a few days, is it acceptable for me to text her something like \"look, I know you're unsure about your feelings but I just want to make it clear that I like you and I want to see you again. I'm not looking for a friendship.\"? Or should I wait it out and only text her back once she's texts me (if that actually happens)?\n\nI know this is a lame post, but I've never been in a situation like this before :-/", "role": "user" } ]

I'm afraid I don't have anything dramatic to entertain you with, just some minor nagging questions I'm looking for some advice on.\n\nSome background: I've been with my girlfriend for a little over 3.5 years. We started dating right before we both left for university about 7 hours apart. Although long distance hasn't been much fun, we do our best to see each other as much as we can during the summer and winter breaks. The relationship is great, minus the distance -- I feel like I love her more and more every day, I've never felt so connected to someone else in my life. Someday down the road, I think I'd like to ask her to marry me.\n\nHere's the thing: it almost seems *too* perfect sometimes, you know? We have never had a fight, not even a small one, and I can't help but worry about it sometimes. It's probably silly, but I don't know if we're just really good at preempting conflict or if we just naturally always get along or if it's a \"calm before the storm\" situation or what. Hopefully, we'll be able to move in together in about a year, and I just wonder if suddenly everything will be different. I mean, it will be, obviously, but what if we're not as good at living together as we are at living apart?\n\nSo basically, I'd just like to hear from others who've been in peaceful relationships and/or long-term LDRs and how those turned out when the distance dropped to zero.", "role": "user" } ]

It took me a lot of strength to survive all of this, to get an education and a stable life, and to learn how to maintain good relationships with others. \n\nI don't think that she set out to be a horrible being, but things turned out badly due to her paranoia and delusional beliefs, and the unresolved aftermath of the abuse she suffered in her own childhood. She drove away everybody from her life, including me as soon as I was able. \n\nShe's been dead for 5 years now. Every year, when her anniversary, mother's day, or the time of her death comes up, I go through all kinds of painful emotions. It's really hard.\n\nI get angry at the painful memories of things she's done or said, at the abuse I suffered, at some of the bad decisions she's made. First of all, why she even brought a child into the world that she couldn't care for. I try to forgive, I really do, but I am not always able. I also get sad, because I appreciate that she was very ill and that didn't hate me or wish me harm. Sometimes, I even miss her (as there were still things about her that were beautiful and good). Perhaps it could also be said that I am grieving the relationship that I wish had been, but could never be (if that makes sense). \n\nIt's irrational, I know, but sometimes I have the nagging fear that one day I'll turn into her. I fear that perhaps I'll end up hurting the people around me due to my unresolved pain, due to a ghost as it were. I also fear the mental illness may be hereditary (I show no signs of it, though).

Yet I still can't lose grip of the jealous feelings I have! I truly have no reason to feel that way, as she has been incredibly loyal and helpful in trying to get me to understand that she wants no else but me, that I'm her best friend, etc. I have told her about how I feel and it has resulted in some pretty deep conversations about it, but only to help me. I was cheated on in my last relationship but I don't think that is affecting me in any way, as it wasn't too severe. However, I still unable to push myself over this jealousy.

I haven't done anything silly like text her twice or anything, but I could use advice on how to just chill.\n\nI'm also clingy, I think, when it comes to making plans. A lot of times she'll ask me to come hang out, but then get busy before I'm able to. Thus, we'll plan to hang out after she's done with what made her busy. However, she usually doesn't update me on whether we'll still be able to hang out or not so I start getting really anxious and a little hurt that she wasn't considerate enough to let me know that I didn't need to reserve time for her.\n\nI may also be clingy when it comes to feelings and such. I honestly know that I fall hard and fast for girls that return my affections. Thus, I usually want to shower them with affections and complements. I've been keeping it under control, but could use some advice on how to compliment/apply affection more tactfully.", "role": "user" } ]

She is and was my first and only girlfriend, and aside from a short middle school fling, I'm her only boyfriend. On to the problem-\n\nWe both feel that we're 'growing apart'. Over the time from when we started college we've been able to visit each other for a weekend here and there, but never long term. This wouldn't really be that bad, considering when we first started dating we only saw each other for a short time during the week; we mostly communicated through an instant messenger. However, I think that the distance and different circumstances have highlighted a glaring fact- we really don't have all that much in common. When we were in highschool, we could hide this by talking about classes and the like, but now that we don't have any classes, teachers, or experiences in common, our chatting has dried to just about nil.\n\nI am quite the extrovert and can't stand staying inside for a whole day, whereas she is quite introverted and wouldn't mind spending a day in bed doing nothing. I have an array of hobbies (not the least of which is dicking around on this website :P), whereas she tends to try something a bit on my suggestion, and quickly decide it's not for her, and go back to her pastime of rewatching TV shows she's already seen. \n\nI enjoy being around her, and going on dates is enjoyable. We don't have any 'dramatic' issues, and haven't had any fights in the time we've been together. But I think that deep down we are sort of seeing that that might just be a byproduct of the fact that we don't have much at all in common to have any sort of passionate argument about.", "role": "user" } ]

I am writing a proposal for a student-funded fellowship program for mba students at UC Davis. Here's the deal:\nEach summer, MBA students do internships. Students interested in finance go off and work for investment banks, students interested in marketing go for advertising or market research positions with retailers or biotech/pharmaceutical companies, and students interested in energy business go for spots with utilities. As you may guess, those internships can pay quite well. At the same time, there are a few students who are pursue nonprofit, government, or other organizations driven by a social or environmental mission. Those internships often don't pay at all.\n\nSo, what many schools do, is implement a student-funded fellowship program where each student that has a paid internship pledges one (or more) days salary to support the costs of those who take unpaid ones. The idea is that the few students who commit to supporting the social and environmental bottom lines are supported by the many who are earning well on the economic bottom lines. Kind of balancing out the 3-legged stool.\n\nOK so this is where you all come in. I have the proposal all written but I need a name for the fellowship. Most everything I have come up with is a mouthful or otherwise off-target. Here are some examples:\nNonprofit Fellowship Fund (name of the narrower program I am proposing to replace),\n\nSocial and Environmental Enterprise Fellowship,\n\nTriple Bottom Line Fund,\n\nSocially Responsible Internship Fund.\n\nSee, none of these are particularly inspired.

Not to mention in several experiments the atoms have imploded when critical mass of the condensate is reached. Also, some experiments have reported missing atoms after the implosion/supernova-like explosion. Surely there is some way a condensate of this nature to be a source for many future technologies, whether it be cold fusion or atomic storage (i.e. putting lots of atoms in a singularity for storage).

I saw a text from someone by that name while you were on your phone a few weeks ago.\"\n\nHe had no idea what I was talking about. Doesn't know any Diane.

So through a coworker we took her in to live with us and our English pointer.\n\nThe next few months are wonderful. We find out we are expecting our first child, and the new dog is getting along famously with our other dog, our friends 2 dogs and my in-laws dogs. While walking down the street we have no issues whenever we meet a strange dog. All of this changed one Christmas while visiting my wife's parents. Our pitbull was playing in a bedroom and she bumped into their old blind terrier, who was surprised and snapped at our dog. This caused a quick fight which I broke up quickly after it started. Both dogs are physically fine, however this lead to our pit bull to become very agressive to any strange dog she meets.\n\nThis brings us to now. We love very close to our neighbors, who many have small dogs. We also go camping often with family or spend time in a mountain cabin. Our issue is that while we try to keep any other dog fights from happening, we are worried it's a ticking time bomb. She has gotten into wrestling matches with my brothers lab, neighbors dachshund and chased a few random dogs while camping. We take measures to keep these issues from happening such as always keeping a leash on while outside and even using a muzzle if we know another dog will be around. We are very concerned that eventually another animal or person is going to get hurt and she will be put down. We would love to try to help out the agressive but cannot afford a trainer. Also we have considered rehoming her, but are worried about liability issues. So if anybody has any ideas of what we can do to help out this situation please don't be afraid to let me know.

So I've been dating my current girlfriend since this past August and things have been great. I've actually known her for 3 years but when we tried dating when I was 17 and she was 20, her mom was having none of that so obviously things didn't last very long. So, 3 years later and we're trying again, this time with her mother's approval and her father's approval, or so we thought. Last night my girlfriend's dad gave her a long winded conversation of basically why he doesn't like me, how apparently he thinks I'm not going anywhere in life (to be fair I'm only a student in my 2nd year of Architecture technology, not sure where he got that idea from), he also said I don't talk to him enough when he's never really tried to make conversation with me and says I don't look him in the eye which I have, not sure where that's coming from either, point is he doesn't like me. She mostly thinks it has to due with him being raised by an abusive father, for he kept saying to her well I would never bring a girl to my house when I was your age, which my girlfriend said to me she wouldn't have either if she lived in that house. On a side, my girlfriend has cerebrallypalsy affecting the right side of her brain but its an extremely mild case. The only things she can't really do is drive and cut her own food and other two handed tasks that most people take for granted. So I guess because of this her parents are a little bit more protective. But last night my girlfriend's Father also compared her to her older brother and older sister, saying he never had to deal with any of this from them, (neither of them have any disabilities) so my girlfriend got pretty upset and doesn't know what to do. She wants to move out but her mom won't let her. I say they shouldn't have it both ways but I'm worried they're going to make her dump me regardless.", "role": "user" } ]
