I’d bet the friends were a lot more specific with their reasons too. Either he filtered it, or the girlfriend filtered it when she told him.

Yeah, no, not a few minutes. Sure, attaching the mirror and the camera is easy but it takes time to hook up the wiring and depending on one’s vehicle, this could take several hours and frequently requires things like removing trim panels or worse in the case of anything with a rear hatch like a minivan or, say, IDK, a…

Eh, not necessarily. I’ve been the friend in this type of scenario before. If you have a friend who is dating/married to someone who is terrible, there comes a day when you just can’t witness one more second of the gas-lighting, belittling, and boundary-violating. Stepping back is self-preservation. I noticed that the…

I was once a professional athlete, pretty much still have that body, and all my hair. I’m no model, but, well, actually, when I was in grad school at NYU, I was asked to do some modeling. This is just to say that it doesn’t appear that I’m hideously ugly or anything.

I think a lot of guys, average, ordinary nice guys, choose not to see it because then they would have to do something about it or admit they are not that nice. They would have to admit they have done something like it in the past.

“interjected with their disbelief”

“Show me a smart, competent young professional woman who is utterly derailed by a verbal unwanted sexual advance or an inappropriate comment about her appearance, and I will show you a rare spotted owl.”

THE PASSAGE OF TIME IS CONSTANT. YOU CANNOT ESCAPE.

A lot of the furniture stores will let you do computerized visual mock-ups for free. They come to your house, take measurements and you go in and look at what in their inventory will fit in your new house. My wife and I did this at lazy-boy when we were looking for a new couch. They even make recommendations. We never…

Not the OP, but whenever I have dealt with Sleeper sofas they are heavier than all getout and are *always* incredibly uncomfortable to sleep in. They are a pain to move and fail at the thing they are supposed to do.
No one should own one.

Just think she could’ve been unknown to the world with a fully equipped Tesla and six bedroom in Greenwich, but now she has a voice!

I hate rich people who get richer and are seen as rags to riches somehow

If he’s not on the lease just pile his shit up in the hallway and change the locks.

Gentleman’s Agreement: an agreement among gentlemen whereby they agree to fuck everything and everyone in sight, themselves excluded (unless there’s money to be had in fucking each other over too).

It sounds like he’s more concerned with you being ‘deemed’ to have an equity stake in the house if you’re contributing rent. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with his position - it’s prudent to keep finances separate if you are not married. But you should put money into savings in case you break up so you can use…

Sock more away in savings. Something is bound to happen, and having ready funds for something like that is a good thing.

He does everything I ask of him

I mentioned that he needs to pay rent since he’s living with me full-time. He balked saying he’s not using that much electricity, gas, etc.

What the fuck are you talking about? No, it’s not.
