Thanks love! He was so sweet and I was just getting to know him but all the fun of it got sucked out when he told me. I'm sorry about what happened to you. Gaslighting, especially after cheating, is horrible.

I'm not interested in converting, thanks.

Thanks! Despite his claims that they aren't close, there has to be something there for him to live with her. Plus if we became exclusive and started having sex we'd have nowhere to go because he lives with her and I live with my parents. Just no...

It's her own issues and projections. I'm happy you didn't cave in to her guilt. I'm personally really vulnerable to what others think of me, even if they're dead wrong, so I admire your strength.

What is that?

I don't want children for the reasons you listed, as well as not really being interested in babysitting and stuff. It just bores me. I would hate going through pregnancy, childbirth, etc. to be sleep-deprived more than usual, worry about emotionally damaging the kid like you said, etc. Not to mention my likely high…

Some women definitely are emotional creatures who get attached after sex, including myself, but it would be ignorant to think all of them are like that. The same applies to men.

A "slut-shaming" friend isn't a friend. If she prefers a different lifestyle, or won't date anyone with a lifestyle different from hers, fine. But if you get along and have a real friendship with affection and trust, it shouldn't matter if you slept with 0 or 100 people. It's not like you slept with her boyfriend or…

Update: Just told him I can't deal with the competition and drama. I know I'm supposed to be post-modern and not think of this stuff as a big deal in our liberal society, and I consider myself liberal, but this is too much. I can't imagine trusting him. Then I took my internal freakout and envisioned it happening…

Sounds like you've been with a boy when you wanted a man. I'm sorry. :(

I told him I was uncomfortable and needed to think, explained my POV and that I've been lied to, played second violin, etc.

Guys, can I post something OT? A guy I'm talking to on a dating site says he lives with a female friend and nothing happened between them, discussed a relationship and it didn't work out. My alarm bells are going off because I had an ex who put his female friends before me in terms of trust, respect, taking their…

"But Moooom, I want a fetus toy too!"

As a dog-mom myself, anyone who kicks an innocent dog has lost my respect. I never watched his cooking shows anyway, besides Iron Chef America. >:(

This guy just trolled me too. Sadly, I think he's serious.

Umm no. Go back to Reddit, troll.

"Blame ALL the wimmenz!"

Screw that. I'm cute and charming to the menz, but when the truth needs to be told (always) I will tell it... tactfully.

Okay, this explains a lot. Too much of any mind-altering drug can very likely make you psychotic. I just feel bad that she's so sick and so obsessed with looking pretty (major insecurity she takes out on others). And she can't even take care of a little dog? :(

Dibs on Fluttershy!
