[Scene opens with some ambient spooky music, and the sound of a ouija board piece scratching on the board, writing something out. Some sort of sound like a phasing in or out of energy or something as the ghost appears]
Ghost: Oh- uh, hello there!
[Sound of the board and piece falling on the floor, followed by a thud]
Ghost: Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you! Are you alright? You didn’t hit your head, did you?
Listener: ….
Ghost: Huh? What do you mean who am I? You already asked if anyone was here! I said yes, and then spelled out my name for you! Remember? This just happened! Maybe you did hit your head…
Listener: ….
Ghost: Oh- well how did you think it was moving on its own then?
Listener: ….
Ghost: Magnets…? Sorry, no. There are probably some spirit boards that are fake, but this one is genuine! It was mine, a long time ago. I was hoping you’d find it eventually when you first moved in here.
Listener: ….
Ghost: Yes, this was my apartment. This was my room, in fact. I was glad you were the one to end up sleeping in here and not your roommate. You seem more in tune with the other side. By the way, love the decor! Some of it is definitely mine, I was glad you put it back up! Most people don’t decorate their rooms with the possessions of long deceased inhabitants that they found in storage boxes in the back of a walk-in closet, haha. I used to live here with my mom, I’m guessing when I died, she couldn’t stand to take some of my things with her. She was superstitious, so she never liked ‘occult’ related things. Although turns out she was right, so I guess she earned an I told you so. Too bad she left before I could get her to notice me. Most people can’t perceive me at all, and well, no one lived in this unit for a long time.
Listener: ….
Ghost: How did I die? My my, that’s an awfully forward question. To tell you the truth though, I don’t remember. The last thing I remember is watching tv in the living room, but I don’t know how much time passed between my last memory, and my death. I know for sure I died here though, I haven’t been able to leave this place. I haven’t even been able to go out into the main hall.
Listener: ….
Ghost: Ah, it’s not all bad! I can still turn the tv on, so there’s that at least! Uh- sorry, a-about your power bill… Ahem anyway, I seem to have this weird… attunement I want to say, to certain things. I don’t know how it works, electromagnetic waves maybe? I didn’t pay much attention in high school science. Or- high school in general, really.
Listener: ….
Ghost: Oh, I don’t know why I’m still here. Unfinished business, I guess? I don’t know, most spirits are angry, vengeful psychos because they got murdered or something. I don’t even know how I died, and life wasn’t all that great either, so I don’t really have anything to be angry about. I mean I miss my mom, sure, but I know my grandparents would take care of her, and she has some brothers and sisters and really great friends.
Listener: ….
Ghost: Aha, no, no girlfriends. No boyfriends, either. No friends, at least not close ones. No one to really miss me, besides my mom. I’ll admit, it does get a bit lonely from time to time.
Listener: ….
Ghost: You… want to help me? Well- that’s really sweet and all, but I don’t even know why I’m still here… where would we even start?
Listener: ….
Ghost: When did I die… I’m not totally sure. My sense of time isn’t great anymore, maybe twenty years ago or so? Things have changed so much, at least what I can see from the window. I’d say a long time.
Listener: ….
Ghost: Obituaries… that’s not a bad idea! At least gives you a place to start! Are you-... sure you want to help me with this? I feel like I’m putting you out, I only wanted to talk to you and say hello, but you’re going out of your way to do something kind for me.
Listener: ….
Ghost: Well, okay, if you’re sure then, thank you! Just one question- how long are you going to leave the creepy music playing? I’m not spooky enough to warrant that. Am I?
[Music stops abruptly]
Ghost: [The ghost laughs] You totally forgot about your mood ambience, huh? Do you like music? I did too. Not too many good ghostly radio stations these days though, haha… but anyway! I think you’ll be able to see me from now on, I sense some sort of… connection with you now through the spirit board. As long as nothing happens to it, I think you’ll be able to see and hear me from now on! I don’t think your roommate will though, so that probably works out for the best.
Listener: ….
Ghost: Thank you, so much… I actually feel kind of hopeful about not being trapped in this tiny apartment for the rest of… well, forever. I finally have a chance. That means a lot to me. I thought you might not be afraid of me, given your apparent interest in spirits, but this is even better than I could have hoped for.
Listener: ….
Ghost: I’m glad to see you’re so enthusiastic, but don’t you think you should be getting to bed? Your schedule on the fridge says you work at 7 tomorrow, and it’s past 11.
Listener: ….
Ghost: Of course! I’m dead, not blind! I can check your schedule just as easily as you can! It was nice knowing when people were going to be here and when they weren’t. I… actually paid really close attention to it. Alright, no more distractions! Get to sleep, or you’ll be totally exhausted for the first day of our investigation tomorrow!
[Listener turns off a lamp and gets into bed]
Ghost: Goodnight. And again… thank you. You’re committing more time to me than I deserve.

Part 2 coming soon!

I (25 F) wish I attracted more women than men sometimes. I don't really care for compliments on my appearance, especially if they're coming from a man, but when a woman does it, I giggle and swing my feet. Unfortunately, where I live, if I were to match with a woman on a dating app, it's a two-package deal with their partner, and I'll be real, I don't care about the boyfriend at all. Sometimes I just want me a little girlfriend.

I don’t know why but no girl is interested in me for the most part. I would say I’m a pretty good looking guy and all my friends have a girlfriend which really makes me feel left out. I find many girls attractive, but I haven’t had a crush since grade 8 and Im almost done grade 10 so it’s been a while and I honestly don’t know what to do. I think I’m boyfriend material I’m completely lost and frankly depressed because I feel like I will never have a girlfriend. Has anyone had this experience and did it ever change because this is honestly ruining me. (Almost 16 and never had a girlfriends and barely a talking stage)

Well hi there! How's the weekend been treating you?
Mine's been alright, but that's not what you're here for is it?
You saw the title on this post and now you're all curious right?
I bet you're wondering what boyfriend stuff includes? Let's start with:

• Getting texted back regularly with an option for phone calls!
  
• Going out on dates with possible holding hands or making out!
  
• I'll make you laugh with all sorts of jokes from the sophisticated cynicism, cutting sarcasm to childish fart jokes I can do it all!
  
• You can get home cooked dinners! And breakfast too if I'm working overnights!
  
• You'll get all sorts of attention and compliments!
  
• I'm emotionally available and completely over my ex's!
  
• Flowers!
  

....and so much more!
Sounds pretty great right?
But who am I?
I'm a nearly middle aged divorced ex stand up comic that's worked himself into full on burnout working in hotels for the last twenty years. It's made into someone that's very empathetic and caring while still being to be cold as fuck when needed.
In my free time I'm kind of a traditional nerdy white guy. Gaming, cartoons (not anime though), science fiction, detective stories, alternative history, sketch comedy, various sitcoms, hiking, cooking and mowing the lawn occupy my off hours. I also tried getting back into writing again, but it's been challenging.
Now it's your turn! PM me and we can start planning the first date!

I love how Max definitely knows something’s going on with Brennan and Booth. At the diner when Booth says to Bones “you can be my girlfriend” and in the bowling alley when he gives her a smooch on the cheek, the way Max looks at Booth like 👀 and Booth goes “what?!” Hahaha makes me chuckle every time. Max has always been a B&B shipper.
I so wish we got to see more of their early relationship…even in a flashback or two. I know ED was pregnant IRL by the time they shot this episode but I wonder if/why it was a conscious decision by the writers to basically not show any of it. Just a sad cuddle, Bones telling Angela they hooked up, then Bones telling Booth she’s pregnant. Hiatus then boom they’re living together and she’s ready to pop.
I’m so disappointed we never got to see all the awkwardness and cute moments that happen in the beginning of a relationship. Especially after Booth giving her full on heart eyes every chance he got for 2 seasons. Or them showing up to work together holding hands and everyone being like 😳😳😳. Or even them trying to keep it a secret from everyone to stay professional, but Angela knows and Sweets figures it out bc he walks into Booth’s office and he’s daydreaming, all smiley when he thinks no one is watching. Then we get a flashback of the night at the apartment from both their points of view, Bones telling Angela and Booth telling Sweets. Like cmonn…what a missed opportunity.

Hi so I'm a 22 year old male and I have a twin sister C we have been close since birth and to be honest she is my best friend but recently I got into an argument with he because of a mutual idiot friend M. She has known M since middle school and I met him 2 years later (still in middle school) he has always had this big crush on C and C tried and tried to tell him she wasn't interested but eventually a year after high school she agreed to try to date him because he was relentless but when that didn't work out they agreed to be friends and that was in late 2020, but 2 or 3 years ago I hung out with him he was flirting with me and calling me cute (he's bisexual) and eventually he kissed me and naturally because I liked him I kissed back but when the kiss ended I told him I had always liked him and M said and I quote "I'm still madly in love with your sister" I've been avoiding him lately because I thought he was over her but he's not. I told C recently and i expected her to be mad at him because she is very protective of me because I'm the youngest of 3 but she said I was being dramatic and I asked her how me being hurt about this mad me dramatic and she said she didn't have time for this now I'm mad and she is confused.
so Reddit Am I The Jerk?

I don’t know why but no girl is interested in me for the most part. I would say I’m a pretty good looking guy and all my friends have a girlfriend which really makes me feel left out.

on mobile so sorry if formatting is strange!
for a few years, i identified with the lgbtq+ community and as a christian it brought me a lot of anguish. for a long long time i thought i had to pick between the two parts of myself, but i know now that homosexuality/romanticism doesn't have to be all i am and its not all that i am to God. fortunately, after years of tears, i've gotten over the guilt and accepted that i will never be in a gay relationship again (i know there are some christians who believe homosexual relationships are not a sin, but i feel convicted otherwise). i even think i may be gaining attraction towards the opposite sex (or it's possible that in my quest to put myself in a gay little box that i hadn't let myself feel that). however! i have a new problem now: and that is that i don't think the problem was ever same-sex attraction. i've been putting too much weight in having a relationship and dreams of getting married and having kids and even the more basic, age appropriate features of relationships (holding hands, dates, ect). i've figured out that I've been making an idol out of having a boyfriend/girlfriend. i was wondering if any of you had tips to get over this and put God first?? i don't want to disguise my idolatry of a relationship as being Godly because it's not gay anymore.
I do daily devotionals with the women in my family as a thing we girls do together and i try to pray at least twice a day to grow in my relationship with God. any advice is welcome!

For context, I met him almost three months ago right after I had ended another situationship where the other guy wasn't open to commitment, so I specifically asked this new guy at the start whether he would be open to long-term, which he said yes. He told me that he needs at least two months before he can make a decision about being in a relationship with someone, which seemed reasonable to me.
These past few months with him have been amazing: he's introduced me to a bunch of his friends, we've been hanging out all the time, and we call each other regularly talking about our days. He's always been very comfortable with PDA, like holding hands and kissing, which I thought was a good sign that he would be open to something more meaningful.
Because I thought he was looking for more, I've introduced him to some of my family and even made plans to bring him to my graduation dinner this week where he'd meet everyone else too. I'd mentioned to him a few times this past month that I would be open to talking about becoming exclusive, and the first time we talked he said there was a lot up in the air that we needed to figure out (I was still looking for a job and place to stay while he was getting ready for the LSAT). I eventually found a job and a place to live, so I felt like things were looking great.
Two nights ago, I went over to his place with plans to eventually go out to a club, but I was feeling nervous about bringing up the commitment discussion and decided to stay in with him to talk. I told him how I felt and that I wanted to be his boyfriend, and he essentially told me that he thinks I'm a fantastic guy and he likes being a part of my life but that he feels jaded when he gets into relationships. The way he explained it is that he has endless love to give to his friends, but he treats his relationships differently. I don't think he really knows why he does it, he just mentioned that he hasn't had the best role models when it comes to healthy relationships.
I feel pretty devastated about the whole situation since I let my feelings develop naturally since I thought we were headed towards something serious, so I actually realized after our conversation that I love him and have been making plans in my mind about the fun dates we could have and the life we could build together. He makes me feel so safe and confident, and he's told me that I make him really relaxed and happy, so I don't know what to think. I feel like we would be fantastic for each other, and yet I don't think he's able to take that next step.
For me it feels like we're already practically in the relationship phase: we both don't hookup with other people, we go on cute dates and hang out with each other a lot, and we support each other in big life events and challenges. He's met my family, I've met a lot of people in his life, it just feels like I've been led on at this point. I told him this morning that maybe we should take a pause for a few weeks, which would mean he wouldn't come to my graduation this week, but I already miss him so much since I've realized he's a huge part of my support network. Before this he would've been the one I'd talk to about something like this, and now I'm wondering if I should let myself have one last week with him where we could hang out and he could come to my graduation before going on a break.
He's a great guy and I do really want to be friends with him, so I'm just trying to find a way to do that without ending up getting more hurt than I already am. Any advice is super appreciated, thanks guys.

I (26M) caught my girlfriend (23F) in a web-of-lies.
I'm extremely devasted and my mind is clouded as I write this, but I have caught my girlfriend (23F), with which we have been dating for 6 years in a web-of-lies 3 Times in our dating period.
She has left me in my lowest point.
In the beginning of our releationship I caught her deleting a messages on her Iphone. I then confronted her and she told me that she deleted those messages because I would get the wrong impression of them and would end the releationship. She told me that she was scared to lose me, as I'm jealous of other males, which in fact is true, but I think my feelings were right all along.
I forgot the content of the message.
I let it slide, since we were in the beginning of our releationship (Maybe 1-2 years into it) and I also wasn't faithful at that time. I have even shared this with her at some points of the releationship, as I'm honest. The thing is that she said that she loves me so much that she would never do such a thing to me.
Slowly - I let my guard down, as she was with me during very hard moments in my life, where she could have easily left. As I let my guard down - I started adoring her and the thought of other girls started to dissappear.
She was extremely sweet, innocent and loving. No matter what I did - she was always there for me to support me and was always on my side.
I started focusing more on work, we were seeing each other everyday and everything was flourishing, but I never stopped being envious when she came with me at a disco/bar with friends or where there were other males.
I always felt as she had an eye out for some of them and always felt like I didn't satisfy her completely, as she had previously made remarks about our sexual encounters, which were above regular.
I slowly started to trust her more, as she continiously gained my trust by her action. Meanwhile I was 100% focused on my businesses and success.
She was working in a kid's playground and selling cakes. I was always there and supporting her.
As my success progressed - we started to go out on world trips on the most beautiful places and fell deeply in love (or so I thought)
4 years had passed by. She was still good an innocent (or so I thought).
On the 4th year - I made a project that made me life-changing money. I took her in Dubai with my whole family and spent a fortune to please them. Unfortunately - she was not happy there, I felt like she didn't support me at that moment. She didn't care what I did, she didn't care about my success. She tells me 'This is your success, not mine' 'This is your money, not mine' I told her I want to buy a house for us and she said 'This will be your house'
I then fell into an emotional pit, because everything I do is to support my family and create one wit her.
I got extremely mad, this feeling didn't fade away. I wanted to end it with her, because she didn't acknowledge anything.
The summer was approaching, we got into a fight over something (I Think I caught her again) - We separated for a month, she started crying and was working the whole month. - I went on a vacation with friends, where I cheated on her (Only kissing) and started approaching other girls. But while doing all this - My girlfriend never left my mind, I was extremely sad that I ended it with her.
I opened up her Instagram Account and saw on her story how she is on vacation with two good girls from her work and one baby (She was lonely by the looks of it and extremely sad)
I got back from the vacation and started working things out with her, I took her on a vaction, we had a bonding there, but something didn't feel right... She seemed sad.
I started gambling on crypto futures... I lost 20% of my networth... I got extremely mad.
We went back in our country and then I took her on another trip. I bought her everything she wanted, I took her everywhere she wanted, I did everything to please her. My focus at that time was entirely on her.
She wanted to go in the casino - we went. I lost money, but gave her, since she wanted to stack an amount for a nose operation.
(Not because the nose was broken or something, but because she wanted to look better)
Business started getting bad, my income vanished.....
I started trading more in order to get back to my previous amounts...
I lost it almost all.. I had 1 reserve fund which was locked and I waited a couple of months to take the funds out. She was there with me even when I lost.
She finished her operation.
I got the reserve fund. I started trading, I made half the amount back. She wanted me to buy her a car - I did. I bought a land as well, on which I wanted to start building our house.
After all that - I lost all my funds again...
She had been constantly in a fight with her parents and wanted to move out.
I had one small income left - with all the funds I had, I rented an apartment for 6 months.
During those 6 months - I focused on working, but was losing due to my gambling habbit.
She got a new job. She started going out with friends. Sexual intercourse decreased by a lot.
I told her that I don't like her going out till 6 AM in the morning. This just isn't right with me, so I got suspicious.
I hacked her laptop... she saw a notification and rushed to the house... I was able to see a lot of things, but it appears - she was deleting evidence, so I asked her to give her phone. - She gave it to me.
Unfortunately - I knew how to see deleted messages on an Iphone. I saw only one message, the content was:
'Don't message me anywhere again.'
I got filled with rage and we had a fight. She was fighting with me to get her phone back. I gave it and told her I want to end it.
As he was a famous greek singer - I was able to analyze when he had concerts and saw that on those dates - she had been visitng those concerts...
3 Days later - we talked and worked it out.... I was madly in love with her at this point. She told me that she arranges stages for him. (It's related to her new job)
My gambling habits were in full force. I lost a lot of money and couldn't afford a rent of a high-cost, so I told her - Let's move out to my mother's place and in the next 1 year I will make sure that I succeed again. (My mother isn't living inside the house, but my brother is)
She agreed roughly. So we moved and I started working, but unfortunately - The money I felt I was making was not enough, not nearly enough to buy an aparatament or build our house. She was acting kind, innocent.
I went out on a birthday party and my friend created a circumstance, where I would sleep with a girl next to me. I knew she really liked me and hooked up. We were going to have intercourse, but as I did anything - my girlfriend was on my mind and I couldn't bring myself to do anything other than kisses... I just couldn't.
She started going out with friends again. She was going nightclubbing with them, but assurred me - she was doing it for her own fun.
She was meanwhile stacking money to get a boob-job done. - She did it, made her boobs bigger. She assurred me that she was doing it for her own fun.
6 months have passed. - I stopped gambling, but she told me that she doesn't like my house, doesn't like that I'm living with my brother and she doesn't see a future with me.
She told me she would leave and go in her cousin's apartament, but he doesn't want me there.
I told her that I want to break up with her, because she doesn't want to be with me at my lowest point. I told her that she probably wants to leave the house to go out nightclubbing and find someone better than me. She felt offended (Or so It seemed), but I think that was the truth. She told me that she wants to have kids with me, she loves me, etc.
The next day: She goes out of city without telling me anything about her location. At night: she goes in a nightclub with her friends + other males.
I ask her in 2 AM - 'Where are you right now'? She comes in and out of 'Online' status. and at 4 AM I notice a follower increase on her Instagram, she follows him back - I send her a video and ask who the f is that? She responds 'What do you want', 'This is an old friend', 'Stop being envious'
I get extremely angry and stop responding. The next day I check the live photos of the nightclub and pray to god to give me a sign that I'm not delusional and exactly the next photo - She is on the same table, with the same guy, with her friends and other males. She told me she was sleeping.
1 Day passes - she starts messaging me and sending me photos with the quote 'Let's promise we will never leave each other and fix everything when things go wrong.' 2 Day passes - she starts messaging me, so I show her that I don't want to talk with her. 3 Day passes - no one messages. 4th day she messages me: "Are we breaking up?" and I told her "Do you think I want to be with someone, who constantly lies to me, goes out nightclubbing and adds some r*tards in Instagram?" She told me - "First of all - I'm not lying about anyhing" Then I ask her - "Why have you added this person in 4 AM in the morning"? She replies: "I have had him for some time now, he is an old friend" I told her that I monitor her followers and know if he is old or new" I told her that she looks like trash in my eyes at this point and she got angry She told me she isn't obligated to tell me anything and she hasn't added him in 4 AM, she will not be repeating her self.
I ask her: - Can you tell me where were you at that time (The night that this happened) ? She tells me: - Like every night - at home. I sent her a photo of the live nightclub photo where she is with him, her friends and other male friends. I tell her 'I hope this is gives you an answer for everything' 'My girlfriend died a long time ago' She starts sending laughing emojis and says: "It's good, right?" "You killed her more likely and made her what she is today" I tell her "It's possible" She responds "As you can see - he is with his girlfriend, DON'T THINK WRONG THINGS OF ME" I told her: "Don't explain yourself" "This was my last question." She is now telling: "This is a driver of... and some time ago my friend hooked up with him, this is from where I added him, I haven't added him now" I told her: "I don't think anything of you." She responds "The last two years you have not thought of me anyway" WHICH IS NOT TRUE. I tell her "I wish you all the best, I hope you find what you are looking for" She responds "Me too, be happy" I respond "I have only one question left" "When did my girl die?" She reponds "You can always contact me if you need any help" I respond: "Thank you, but I don't think of searching for contacting you anymore" She asks: "Which is your girl?" I respond "The good girl that loved me and was always with me or was this just a product of my imagination? Be honest" She said: "Whatever you feel like" I respond "Okay, good night" Then I forward the message "You can always contact me for help" and I say: "I really loved you and will miss you" She reponds: "I will never stop loving you. There is no way to stop loving a person with which you have been in a releationship for 6 years" "Good night, I will not upset myself anymore" I ask her "Why would you do this to me?" She ask "What did I do to you?" I told her "It's pointless to say, I have a lot more information that on the photo" She says "We were in this town for a doctor checkup, after that we went to a nightclub and accidentially met them (The person and his male friends)" I ask her "Will you stop with the lying?" She says "I'm telling you" I respond "Good night"
Now my question is:
I'm a sucker for her love. Maybe I'm just in love with the old her. I have never loved any girl as much as I love her. I feel absolutely terrible. Maybe part of this was my fault. Maybe it was my fault that she became like this..
What do I do from here? I don't think I will ever love a person this way.. I wanted her to carry my children and raise a family with her.

My bf and I had just finished having intercourse, and he immediately gets up after and goes to get on his computer to play games with his friends.. but before he does he asks me about a video game wondering if it’s a good one to buy.
I said I’ve heard it’s full of micro transactions and it’s not loved by the players yada yada, he then jumps into a new discord server with some gym friends he’s just started to play with today and says “I heard from credible sources it has micro transactions” and a lil while later “Yeah I heard rumours it wasn’t loved by the players”. I asked him why he couldn’t say his girlfriend told him that, and he muted the mic and said “it’s not that big of a deal” and went back to the server.
I personally feel it’s a bit odd you can’t say your girlfriend told you these things and to me it definitely feels sketchy that around these people I’m a “credible source” not your girlfriend. Is this something I’m reading too much into?
TDLR; when bf plays with his new friends he quotes things I’ve said by saying “credible source” or “I heard a rumour” instead of saying he heard it from his girlfriend. Claimed it was no big deal. Am I overthinking it??

My boyfriend absolutely loves his job with every fiber of his being. I see him smile the most when he talks about his job. That’s a part of why I like him so so much it’s beautiful and I’m so happy for him. Sadly he can’t tell me anything. I know he has a ex who had the same clearance as him and he could talk about things with (I didn’t want to know this but he told me). Recently he’s been working on something and he can’t tell me a single thing which is fine. However he told me he wishes he could and that it sucks he can’t and it is what it is. I know he wishes he could and I’m scared down the line he will resent me or not like our relationship because he’s not able to tell me things. I’m scared. His job is his life and a big part of him and he can’t share it with me like he could with his ex. I can and never will do what he does. I will never have clearance to know. I feel insecure and useless. He can talk to his coworkers about what he loves but not me. All I want is to be there for him and support him and I can’t and I know this is selfish of me but I don’t know how to feel. He’s already told me it’s “fine” but I know he craves it… I’m just scared I won’t be a good enough girlfriend or possible wife if he can’t share what he loves with me. He really doesn’t make me feel better about my insecurities about this and I don’t want to bring it up when there’s really no solution. I just don’t know what to do or how to feel…

I’ve been feeling extra sad and stressed lately and my boyfriend surprised me with these guys 🥹 they’re so cute and so silly!!! I burst out loud laughing with joy 🤣 I love them (and him) so much!!!! 🩷🩷🩷

I’m 18 and pregnant with my first little boy, I’m currently 19 weeks and every single time I go to the mall or any place that has clothing it makes me so sad the rest of the day looking at all the clothes I used to be able to fit into and all the cute girls walking around shopping with their nice bodies and I just feel so insecure and horrible. My boyfriend always asks me what’s wrong but I feel embarrassed to tell him how I feel. Any advice or thoughts on this y’all? :(

For context because it’s necessary, I’m white. My boyfriend is Korean.
My mom is a lovely well intentioned person and not a racist by any means, but she lives in a bit of a bubble. She doesn’t have many friends in general and has no Asian friends. The only thing she knew about Korean culture is kimchi (which she loves), one brand of viral cushion foundation and BTS (boyband).
So when she met my bf one of the comments she made was “wow you’re gorgeous… BTS” lol
At the time it was cute and funny and we all understood that in her own way she was trying to give him a compliment.
Unfortunately she mentions BTS every single time she introduces my bf to people. During Mother’s Day my family threw a small garden party. She kept introducing my bf to other relatives like this.. “this is [my name]’s boyfriend… isn’t he handsome? BTS (wine laugh). “He’s so tall? Like BTS” (I don’t even know if BTS members are tall, my point is she just says it every time, even if there’s no connection). Also my mom knows nothing about BTS other than they are Korean and exist because she saw them on carpool karaoke or something random on tv. During the party.. If by chance she did not mention BTS she would mention his ethnicity each time she introduced him. This was almost worse.
“This is (bf name), my daughter’s boyfriend….. He’s Korean”. Even some the guests felt awkward. She was making it weird.
I know she’s just proud of my bf in her own way, but still, a gentle correction felt necessary. My bf remained polite but I could tell from the way his brow was twitching a little that he wasn’t loving these intros.
I decided to pull my mom aside and tell her to stop doing this. I explained it’s kinda racist. I couldn’t say too much during the party but I got the point across. My mom understood too. She became immediately embarrassed and apologetic about it.
She apologized to my bf later that evening. All was good I thought. But no, my stepdad took offence at me correcting her and yelled at me about how our generation is overly sensitive and it wasn’t necessary to correct my mom because said nothing wrong. I told him I know my mom didn’t mean anything bad by it but that doesn’t make it right. And if my mom doesn’t have an issue with being corrected, why did he? He said it’s about the principle of it.. I’m wrong and he won’t put up with this “shit” in his house. I feel like that’s a big stretch from whatever he’s implying.
Consensus please?

I (26, M) met my now-girlfriend (26, F) of five months when I went to university for my post-graduation. We immediately clicked and became good friends. Soon after, I developed romantic feelings for her.
I confessed my feelings to her earlier last year, to which she said that she was not in a position to offer me anything more than friendship as she was committed to someone else.
I thought I could control my feelings and distance myself from her, but I couldn’t help myself. I enjoyed talking to her and spending time with her, and she enjoyed my company as well. We would spend a big part of our day together in college, then hang out after college was over. We also went out frequently, and over time, we grew closer. Everyone in our college could sense that I had feelings for her, and she was aware of it too. She repeatedly told me not to expect anything more than friendship from her, but at this point, we had become more than just friends. Later on, she even admitted that she had some feelings for me as well, but she couldn't offer anything beyond friendship because she already had someone else in her life whom she loved a lot. Given the circumstances, it was very confusing for me to define our relationship because clearly, we were more than friends, but we were not a couple. At this point, I realized that what we had going was a situationship. Ironically, many people in our college thought we were a couple.
Our closeness didn’t sit well with her boyfriend, leading to frequent arguments between them over me. Eventually, their relationship deteriorated to the point where he became abusive. This led her to stop seeing and talking to him, for which he held me responsible. He feared that she might get involved with me, and to deter me from pursuing her, he even sent me some of her private pictures, intending to imply that both of them had been physically intimate.
Eventually, she broke up with him, and naturally, it was a very traumatic time in her life. I tried to support her during this period, and eventually, we grew even closer. Some time later, we entered into a relationship.
Now, here’s the thing, last night I made a remark about her now-ex, to which she responded that I shouldn't say anything bad about him. I asked her how she could still respect him after whatever had happened, to which she told me that he had loved her a lot and that she felt guilty for causing him pain by being close to me. She then started blaming me, saying that because of me, she couldn’t spend quality time with him. She claimed that the time that he deserved, she gave to me. She even said that at times, she avoided going to his place for fear that I might question her whereabouts. She didn’t want me to know she was meeting him. She told me that I shouldn’t have gotten involved with her when I knew she was in a relationship.
I just wanted to know, AITA for having had feelings for a her and doing all the things that we did together, while she was already in a relationship?

Before we start, allow me to lay all my cards onto the table: No, this is not me bashing Stellar Blade, just Eve's character (or lack there of). No, this is not going to be a "Culture War" fest or whatever, go find a Marvel movie to complain about. Yes, I am a Bayonetta stan. No, I did not play the game, but I've watched playthroughs and I'm not talking about gameplay anyway. Ok?
So Eve Stellar Blade is the new It girl that's been causing a stir with her "sexy" boobs and butt and it's all talk of the town and la de da. There's people saying she's a "fighting fuckdoll trope", there's men putting her on their anti woke pedstal and saying she's the chosen one that's going restore the world back to the good old days and kill the left like Sydney Sweetie's chest or whatever, and everything in between.
Well I, the local contrarian, have chosen the position to say she's barely sexy at all. Now, is she sexualized, are her developers pushing her into sex symbol status? Yes, that comes with the territory of her defult clothes being Ned Flanders Ski suit and her unlockable outfits including pin up girl cosplay. But is Eve Stellar Blade sexy? The answer is no and here's why:
1) We've seen this before
Oh boy, a woman in spandex so tight she almost looks like she's wearing nothing at all! There's only like 100 other female characters who do that!!
Eve Stellar Blade needs to fire her wardrobe manager because her design is boring AF, just the tried and true Si-Fi spandex that every other girl has worn before. Sad thing is, her unlockable outfits that give her a cute, baggy jacket make her one million times more appealing than the sexy outfit version of cardbord box that she's wearing.
2) She has zero personality
So the worst part of this whole culture war surrounding Eve Stellar Blade is I've been seeing people compare her to Bayonetta and like, first of all, keep the queen's name out your mouth. She's sleeping.
Second of all, forgive my tone but Bayonetta cannot be compared to any old raggedy trick. She is Bayonetta . Everything about her, from her clothes, to her hair, to her personality, to her name , it all demands you pay attention to her. Bayonetta is a stripper dominatrix witch with the personality to match. There has never been a leading lady in gaming like her before, and there most likely won't be another after her. No. Comparison. But even if there was a new girl that tried to take the queen's throne, it ain't Even Steven Blonde.
Quick question, type one quote, something iconic that came from Eve Stellar Blade's mouth. Cuz I can think of several from Bayonetta, byt I'll wait.
Back on track, Sexy is more than just your looks, it's how you carry yourself. You think the reason why all the girlies are thirsting after corpse man from Fallout is because they have a no nose fetish??? No!!! It's because that guy is charming and endlessly confident. Bayonetta is charming, endlessly confident, and the baddest bitch of every room she ever walked into.
What does Even Stellar Blade do, other than rely on her looks to secure anti wokers? I'll tell you what, nothing!! She has zero personality, zero charisma, zero prescence, her aesthetic is looking like an airbrushed Korean model in Spandex, and her greatest assets aretried and true gainaxing that's been in every game ever! Yall are comparing this girl to Bayonetta when Mother brought you disappearing clothes AND monstergirls? I'd ask you to raise your standards, but worshipping Even Steven requires you not have any anyway.

TL;DR

Eve Stellar Blade is a bitch and Bayonetta's son. She is also the J Lo of video game girls.

Okay so, I'm currently in my freshmen year of high school, and me and my friend both like the same guy. He's silly, caring, super cute, and makes me laugh a lot! Me and my friend have both liked him since 7th grade, and he was like one of our friends but not exactly in our friend group. Me and my friend are in the same friend group, and he's in a separate one, but both our friend groups do hangout with each other often. (I hope this makes sense.) I told my friend that I like him, about 2 months ago right after she told me she had a crush on him, and we agreed that things are still gonna stay the same between us, and whatever happens, we're not going to ruin our friendship just because of a boy since we've been close since 4th grade. Recently, me and our crush (Roman) have been getting closer because we are in the same group for a chemistry project, and I also sit next to him in english and we've been talking a lot. He asked me out about 5 days ago, and I said yes! And when my friend found out she was really mad because I'm now with Roman. She said, and I quote, "That's literally not fair cause I liked him first" (She had a crush on him in the first 2 weeks of when 7th grade because he was new.) And now, she's ignoring me because I "backstabbed" her. Me personally, I don't think I'm in the wrong because Roman said that he didn't even like her, and he likes me, and we've both had a crush on him for so long, but he just likes me back. My other friends in my friend group are saying that I'm a backstabber for doing this, but I don't know since they've always favourited her over me. So, AITAH?

HIIIII!!! I 21F overthink alot and I was wondering if anyone who is Japanese or have been to japan could look at my virgo moon overthinking and see if I was being delulu or if I fell victim to host club culture. This all took place in a Japanese bar. B-Bartender (European) T-Waiter boy in question (Japanese) K-ME (Wasian)

• first when we got there the first time. He gave me drink recommendations.
• Second gave me a phone charger bank without me asking cause he noticed I needed one.
• Was the one to set up my birthday stuff, and also asked me my name and when said it in Japanese went “really? That’s cute”
• Fourth , he kept checking on me and then gave me another recommendation without me asking. And made the drink himself and gave it to me.
• Fifth, he kept coming to talk to me about his time working at usj and then took our picture.
• Sixth, he took a shot with me and taught me how to say cheers in the “young adult way”
• Seventh, when I was given birthday stuff he was the one to come up to me and tell me to sit. I look over and he is standing behind me with both his arms fully up and going crazy.
• he also gave me water immediately after our shot together
• Eighth, he then ran to me when he thought we were leaving even though it was sooooo busy.
• Ninth, he ran to the elevator to say goodbye to us. The elevator is outside the bar and he left his post to come say bye.
• Next day
• When I enter he immediately smiles and goes “K!!” And then brushes his hair back so it’s pushed back
• Then I sit at the bar , not the tables and he finds every reason to come up to me and try to talk to me. (His post is the tables not the bar)
• He gets a coaster from right next to me when he could’ve just gone to the other side of the bar to get it or somewhere else

- He gives me a recommendation again and leans super close and I’m like suaisisisisi

• Friend noticed he kept trying to get into my line of sight and talk to me
• I was sitting near the close area of the servers and everytime he came over to check the orders he would glance at me and see me and try to talk to me
• He told me his favorite drink and tried super hard to talk in English
• He told me when he was getting off and wanted to take a shot with me

- got me water without me asking cause he remembered I didn’t like the shot

• He said goodbye when he was leaving to just me
• when he talked to us he only talked and looked at me
• He coughed and I went you ok? In Japanese and he looked over and smiled and went yes yes don’t worry
• He gave just me his instagram and immediately after work liked my story
• When talking about the servers to B he would come over and try to join the convo.

-We asked B ages of everyone and even though it was busy T came over and suddenly asked us ages. He asked friend one and went ok ok.. skipped my next friend and went “K ???” And I went Oh “21” he was so excited and said “03”??? And I said yes and he was admit that we should be friends because we were the same age. (My other friends were all 03 as well)
-Asked us what we did and kept wanting to see my pictures of me in my kimono.

• He kept coming over to the bar and asking B about us.

The kicker is that B told us once T was getting ready to leave, “Do with this information what you will, but T has a girlfriend…”

• I Mmmm a Virgo moon so I overthink a lot lol and this is when I realized I would fall victim and have no money at all if host clubs were available to me

GOD SHES ADORABLE AND I NEED TO GET THIS OUT!!! My girlfriend turned 20 today and she hasn’t really celebrated her birthday too much before meeting me, and the absolute joy she had this year was so cute. She chose a big thing of strawberry parfait and some candles to go with it, but she didn’t realize they were the trick candles and it was so funny but cute seeing her laughing as she struggled to put them all out. It was such an adorable moment and I’m just obsessed with her. Also, she loves Star Wars so we watch a few movies and then she showed me these parody videos and she recited every word and it’s so fucking cute somehow?? Just her laugh when I pointed out that out was adorable. Also went out to a computer store with a budget so she could get some new parts for her PC and she played this racing simulation they had a demo for and she was so cute I swear she had stars in her eyes or something. Anyways I’m so glad she had a nice birthday this year, it was important to me that she got a good one :)

Xpost from relationship_advice, looking for opinions.
we've been together just over 10 months. Over that time some odd things have happened which made me question my trust in her and I like her but have been slightly wary of her since. I've been staying with her at her apartment for the past couple months or so and lately nothing too weird has happened and she seemed to be much better overall. But she recently asked if I wanted to move in and I just felt like I wasn't ready for that kind of commitment at this point as I was still trying to regain her trust and wasn't fully over some of the stuff that happened, and so I ended things. She is completely heartbroken, says she's in love with me and wants me in her life. And I question whether I made the right choice and whether I overreacted to some of the stuff the has happened.
I wanted to write out all the situations but the post got way too long too quick. But one of the bigger incidents was once (before I was staying there consistently) we were texting throughout the day and then suddenly she stopped replying, And I didn't hear from her for the rest of the day. I tried again the next morning and then finally she replied that afternoon but it was a very short response that's very unlike her. Then that night she texted saying a guy had gotten stabbed outside of her apartment while trying to help her with something. So she brought him up to her apt and tended to his wounds and had him stay the night there (she says he stayed out on the couch). I didn't know what was going on and was a little bit angry as well and then she called me. She acted like it was no big deal but she could tell in my voice I was not in a good mood (I was trying to figure out what was happening) and she said I was being rude and hung up on me, and also said the guy had left.
She called again moments later (or I did I can't remember) and there was some guy talking in the background who I thought was one of her roommates but she said it was the guy. I said "I thought he left," she said "he came back." I didn't know what to say and then she's like "ooooh you got real quiet" in a mocking type way. The guy is super drunk and she's pretty drunk too I think. They were both being a little disrespectful to me and he mentioned how they played cards together the night before (something that was a thing her and I had started doing together recently which I really enjoyed) and they mentioned they were going to play a game this night too. He was telling jokes and in one of them mentioned the town and street I live on which was really weird. Also mentioned at one point that his son or sons came over as well (I think to check on him but also it sounded like they hung out for a bit too).
It seemed like he was going to stay the night again. I didn't know what to do but my instincts were going wild and while it was late and I had to go to work early and it's like a 35 min drive to where she lives, I said I was coming. We also facetimed and the dude was chilling laying back on her bed. I stayed on the phone the whole way there. Once I said I was coming she got a little quiet and the guy started acting nervous and at one point said "you didn't mention you had a boyfriend" (she says she did mention it) and "at least we didn't have sex". He kept saying he's got to go but she said stay and meet my boyfriend. I get there and they're in her room with beer cans and tobacco everywhere and then he leaves. She said to him "you can stay but we are taking the bed," (she may have said "room" but I'm pretty sure she said bed) which shouldn't that go unmentioned?? Once he was gone she's like "are you breaking up with me?" I wanted to in that moment but I pictured her just calling up that guy and having him come back if I did right then plus I was still in shock as to what just happened so said "no."
We talked a little about it in the following days and she knew I was not happy with what happened but we didn't have any huge in-depth discussion about it. Since that day she makes random comments here and there like "you're the only guy I want in my room," or "you're the only guy who would be anywhere near my bed" little comments like that in conversation.
There was a point where she was trying to get off of a certain medication, without a doctors help and was struggling with it big time and acting extra crazy due to it and I can't remember if this was during that time or not, but either way it's a bit messed up right? And even though she's been way better lately, I can't help but still be disgusted by this.
There are a few more incidents in the past I'd like to share but this one's probably the worst. And it's too bad because she seems to have changed for the better lately now that she's getting proper medication and whatnot from a doctor but not enough time has passed to where I have regained my trust on her and not think of incidents like this.
TLDR: My girlfriend wanted me to move in and despite feeling a strong connection at times, I ended things because of past incidents which I haven't fully regained trust in her yet from.
