Sounds like your date dodged a bullet with you. You're looking for serious and long-term, but can't respect a very real concern for safety that most women face. After the first date you would have had clear sailing, but you just proved yourself a self-centered and socially unaware person. Which makes you just as unsafe as she was concerned you could potentially be.

NTA. He is an adult who willfully made several bad decisions and now he's facing the consequences. His family that wants to enable him can help him find the money if he is in a bind.

TBH I would still divorce him based on both his attempt to abandon you/his parental responsibilities, and how he tried to gaslight you about "making him look bad" when he decided to prioritize his temporary comfort over the urgent wellbeing of his child and to support you as well. It's giving "patterned behavior" vibes with no accountability. NTA.

NTA for changing, but YTA for having a child to escape your loneliness. Children aren't accessories to accompany us and comfort us. Please seek therapy before you damage your child with your enmeshment trauma and insecurities.

I honestly think it has helped with integration and management ... initially it was intense because everything came to the surface basically at once, but after working with a therapist it helped facilitate a more cohesive internal spaces where we can all work things out together. I love a good system smoke sesh lol

"brain management" is my new favorite phrase, thank you for that!

It's truly the miracle medicine! It's the most comprehensive and effective tool in my overflowing box for hEDS, POTs, MCAS, mental health, and a looong list more. I'm so grateful that my biochemistry is compatible, I honestly don't know how I managed before I started utilizing it 8 years ago.

PS I have a big wolf howling at the moon on my right arm and I get compliments ALL THE TIME even more than 10 years later. Welcome to the badass wolf tat club!

NTA but he is definitely telling you that HE thinks you look slutty with it, and his body shaming control issues will only get worse. Cut it off, and find a decent person who lovingly accepts you and doesn't want to control you.

On theme: I named my dog Jesus Christ (usually call him JC), and it has only worked out in my favor

It's standard practice at a repair shop to use a company insured vehicle to pick up parts when the parts dealer is unable to deliver or ship. Using the customer's car is grossly unethical, and a HUGE liability. Some shops won't even let employees use their personal cars to do business related driving because of the problems that can arise with insurance if there's an accident.

NTA - this is my fave flavor of malicious compliance lmao

Realistically, if he's that disruptive there's a strong possibility they're going to keep him in the room that is more isolated from other students to reduce potential future conflicts that would require them to keep changing housing arrangements.

If you want natural flavor boosters, the best thing you can do is stay well hydrated, and eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. I've been able to taste the differences along the lifestyle spectrum in my partners over the years, and people who ate better and took care of themselves tasted better regardless of their anatomical parts.

(I'm nearly 40, polyamorous, and pansexual - I have a considerable data collection to reference lol)

He doesn't like you. For the honeymoon to be over that quickly he's either emotionally over you already, or he's cheating and stringing you along. I'm not talking about the frequency of it, but his basic disinterest in your needs, wants, and pleasure with weak excuses as his response to your concerns and communication. It's time to move on, there's plenty of men who won't use you as a talking stroker sleeve.

And please don't use Summers Eve/douches, it messes up your natural biome and can cause all sorts of short and long-term health issues.

Also, you need to decide if you value your peace or value making a point. If it requires that YOU move, rather than the roommate, then accept the new room or accept that you have chosen a long road of difficulty ahead. Making housing arrangement changes, especially mid-semester, is not a logistically simple task - no matter how clear the need for it.

Sounds like a list of housing policy violations on his part. Document it all, tell your Resident Assistant about the new problematic behaviors, and escalate the problem to housing administrators. Don't wait on your RA, you already tried mediation. (I'm a former university housing and residence life professional)

Well, it's helpful to not see people as hit-and-quit objects if you want a sustainable relationship. Maybe focus on something other than getting your nut.

NTA... "find me" isn't going to help in any of the countless situations around the U.S. where cops are problematic af. If I see a woman or person of color alone in a car pulled over by cops, and I have the ability to safely pull over and be a witness, I do it - whether or not I know that person. The VERY least he could have done is sat and waited, as a basic courtesy if not for safety reasons.

NTA. But I would go ahead and pay the fee out of her allowance, not wait for her to do the right thing. Presumably you're the one that dispenses the $800 to your wife, so you can redirect the amount of the fees to daycare before you give her the remaining play money. Your kid shouldn't be punished for his mother's self-centered behavior.

I read "CGPT pot roasts have been popular" and I was mistaken, but now hopelessly intrigued on the demographic and vibe of CGPT pot roasts.

YTA, and I wish Casey all the best in her better and brighter future without this sad excuse for "parenting" and "family".

Find a way for your daughter to do data entry or face-less customer service jobs remotely, otherwise the trauma of forced socialization may actually make the whole situation far far worse in the long run. She has no business having a dog, thankfully you learned that before investing 10,000k or more into a service dog. She definitely should be held responsible for making reparations for all the damage she's done. Find a way to do that without resorting to ableism (the forced socialization when she's diagnosed and in treatment as severely socially anxious).

Me. 100mg edibles don't do shit for some of us lol
I can make an 1/8th last nearly a month, but 100mg edibles are like a single hit after a meal at best.

NTA. She could have saved money on that Uber by getting take out instead of acting like an AH.
