I got really tired of it one day, so before class I loaded my backpack/bookbag with every book I could. I switched shoulders for it as class ended. I walked out and pretended to not see him coming. As he got close, I slammed my shoulder forward into his, with the weight of 6 textbooks behind it. He spun around. I just kept walking like I didn't even notice.\n\nNever happened again.\n\nIf you're reading this Paul, you 51-ish year old loser, fuck yourself."

The difference between reddit and the rest of the online communities has always been, up until this point anyway, that moderators were in 100% control of creating, maintaining, managing and growing their communities. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and the rest have \"moderators\" and they are literally just button pushers - Yes this tweet is okay. No this post is bad. Yes this picture is okay....\n\nReddit gave us an empty building. We did the buildout, installed all the equipment and furniture, painted the building and put up signage and branding. We built the customer base and kept them coming back. The rent we paid for the building was the user base we attracted, and the customers were free to show up by whatever method they liked. Now they won't let people in the door if they don't show up in a reddit-owned rickshaw service. So we're protesting, and their answer is to act like we didn't put in the hard work of getting everyone here in the first place, and that they have no qualms about kicking us out and giving our hard work to someone else.\n\nFuck that."

I reach into his gym bag, find his white Calvin Kleins, and I delicately sniff the exquisite scent of his graceful skid marks.it carries the remnants of last night's dinner: Hungry Man Salsbury Steak and Mashed Potatoes, SunnyD, and Birthday Cake Oreos. I savor the fragrance, working it around my mouth like a fine syrah.\n\nI look over my shoulder to make sure I'm alone. Next I grab his Polo Ralph Lauren Bienne Tumbled Leather Boat Shoes. Tan, because Steve is a fashion Pioneer. I slip my tongue into the leather, plying the crevices for tidbits of my hero. I crack a sly smile- it's clear he doesnt wear socks- the leather is rich with the flavor of his sweaty piggies. The salty schmear enfolds me in ecstacy- my jock strap is full of runny pre-cum, my asshole is pulsing. \n\nA sound behind me breaks me out of my rapture. A gym-goer is returning from the floor. Quickly I return Steven's artifacts to his bag. I quietly close the door and slip out the back of the locker room, a bandit in flight. I'm not deterred- I'll be back. Steven Huffman is my weakness. I crave his sensual touch. Thank you, Spez, for enslaving my heart."

And I never thought I will do it with a stranger until I met this guy. And can't get over him now. I'll be leaving India next month and can't stop thinking abt him. \n\nI never in my life thought I will do something like this and hookup with a completely random stranger. \n\nRecently me and my colleagues went to a club on weekend where I met this guy through mutuals.He seemed somewhat shy and didn't talk to me initially. He was looking cute and was very decent throughout our talks.\nWhile everyone was busy drinking and smoking this guy was continuosly watching his mobile. \n\nI don't smoke. I was with my pint, So all of them were pretty drunk and this guy was on few drinks but seemed to be in control. When I noticed him watching his mobile continuously, I went out of curiosity to talk to him. So, I asked him the reason. And he told me he was attending some online class. Then I started asking abt his course and and the conversation went on. \n\n\nDuring our conversation this guy made me attract towards him as he was funny, mature and decent with his talks. Usually we can understand wether a guy is acting creepy or he is genuine. And there was no sign of any red flag\n\nSo, it was midnight and all my colleagues were leaving and this guy too. But I wanted to spend some more time with him, so I acted by saying 'not getting a cab' and insisted him to drop me home. Then he immediately asked me I'll try booking for you but luckily there were no cabs around. \n\nThen, after sending off my colleagues this guy and I came out and we went and ate a pan. Then he dropped me at my place. I asked him to come inside to have water or if wants to use my loo. And he came in to use my loo and then I offered him water and he thanked me and was about to leave. Then I asked him if he could stay for a while since my friend went to her cousin's house and I was alone.\n\nI was falling for this guy slowly and was giving him all the signs but he didn't seem to be expressive or getting what I was saying. So We went and sat on the sofa in the balcony and all the lights were off. Everything was gloomy. \n\nAnd I was clear this guy will not make any move and then I started striking the conversation abt his love and sexual life. I was turned on by this time and completely wanted to surrender if he started with it. But he didn't and in the middle of our conversation I straight went closer to him and kissed him on his lips. He was silent and didn't do any thing, after the kiss he told me clearly that this will be a one time thing. \n\nAfter this we went on and ended up having good sex in my balcony. The way he treated me during the entire thing made me get more and more attracted towards him. He was super sweet and was sensual at the start and treated me softly and made me comfortable throughout the time. And then I realised that it was the first move that was needed for him.\n\nAfter sex I became super emotional and stared crying by hugging him tightly and he was treating me like a baby. Throughout this while he made sure I'm comforted. And this was all after the sex. I got emotionally attracted towards this guy. And can't get off thinking abt him all day. \n\nBut he was very clear and told me that he can't commit to anyone at this time. And can't get emotional. And he left my place.\n\nFrom then to till now and I just can't stop thinking abt him and that night. Please suggest me how to get over this.\n\nTldr: I hooked up with a guy and got emotional with him beacuse the way he treated me, but he is very clear with his thought and I can't get over it. I'll be leaving India next month and I'm unable to foucus on anything because of this."

She offered me a tampon as she saw my pack of pads only had 2. I’ve been on the pill for years due to really heavy flow but always carry something with me because you NEVER know.\n\nI didn’t exactly want to tell people my personal business so I just said it’s okay I don’t need it and left it. When I went up to go the bathroom, she put a tampon in my hand and said ‘just in case’. In the moment I just smiled and said thank you so I sat in the toilet for about 6 minutes just ticking time over on my phone. And then I realised that these few small minutes just helped the day feel like less of a drag. We get a break additional to lunch, but everyone talks and I just want to recharge my batteries.\n\nSo now, one week out of every month, I take 5-10 minute bathroom breaks once or twice a day. I take my bag with me which has my phone in and I just chill for those short minutes. It may seem pointless for just one week out of every month but it just helps. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone in the office knew my fake period schedule and knows exactly when I’m due my flow. It’s such a simple, un hurtful lie but because no one could possibly know it’s a lie, it feels weird as though I’m trying to get away with something. Lol"

It’s no doubt cheaper to build with fewer complications and I’m of the opinion that it was therefore marketed as the desirable design concept. Making those interesting nooks also complicate things. Then it’s herd mentality. \n\nI think some judicious separation between areas is better. Trying to shout across a big room while people are clanging around in the kitchen is annoying, whether you’re alone trying to watch tv or if you have a gathering. I was just in a older home with separations. It was much easier to talk and several groups were able to connect much better. And walls are not always the only way to do this. Offset rooms help too. \n\nBut, every design is the apple of someone’s eye. With renovations. They are not for the future buyer - they are for me. I don’t do anything weird, but my house is a place for me to live and not an investment. Unless you live in some perpetually crazy market, which most people don’t, the honest math will reveal it’s horrible as an investment. I rocked a paltry 4 to 5% on a home I lived in for 25 years, and I did the renos myself."

If I'm looking for a long term partner, someone who is willing to share the rest of his life with me, I would want him to know all the good, bad and ugly about me before taking a call whether we both are focussed on a future together or not. And I would like the same from my potential partner. \n\nSimple reason being, we all like the good, we accept the bad but to tolerate the ugly, it needs to be an informed choice, not a deceptive one. For me it is not about judgement, but more about what ugliness of his past I am willing to accept. \n\nFor e.g. I have a strict deal-breaker for someone who has cheated in the past relationships. No matter how genuine he comes across in the present, how much he may or may not have changed, I will not go ahead and consider the same person as my partner for life."

I decided to try a little experiment over the weekend to see what would happen if I tried to meet some of his demands. NOT because I actually thought they were reasonable, but because I increasingly had the sense that the goalposts would just keep moving and that I was playing a losing game. So, Saturday morning, I went to the salon for a glow-up (haircut, fresh highlights, mani/pedi) then went to the farmer's market to pick up fresh flowers for our table and assorted other gourmet ingredients. Saturday is usually our date night out but I suggested we stay in so I could make us a special dinner, steakhouse style (lobster bisque, bread basket with several types of rolls/savory muffins made from scratch, crab-stuffed mushrooms, filet mignon, au gratin potatoes, white chocolate mousse topped with raspberries). I wore a lavender (his favorite color on me) sheath dress and high heels and fully done hair and makeup. For all that I got a lukewarm \"thanks, it was tasty\" and a kiss on the cheek. Of course I did all the serving and cleanup.\n\nSunday we usually go out but he suggested I make us brunch at home. So I made French-press coffee, mimosas with fresh-squeezed orange juice, Belgian waffles with a bananas Foster topping, eggs scrambled with parmesan and fresh herbs from our garden, roasted fingerling potatoes, and maple-glazed bacon. I wore a blue sleeveless sundress, wedge sandals, again did my hair and makeup. Again I got a \"thanks, it's good\" and no help with serving or cleanup.\n\nAfterwards I asked if this is what he had in mind when he critiqued me before. He said that it was a start, but that I was \"acting very entitled for wanting credit for basic adulting.\"\n\nHe then dropped a bomb that he was being so hard on me because he had realized lately I had a lot to make up for due to my being a \"low-value woman.\" I asked what on earth he meant by that and he said it was because I wasn't a virgin when we met. \n\nWHAT?!?!\n\nKeep in mind we started dating at 21, neither of us claimed to be virgins or stated that as an expectation. Except for very religious people (neither of us is) I don't think most 21-year-old college students are virgins. I was upfront with him then that I'd had two previous partners, my high school boyfriend (we went our separate ways when we went to different colleges in different parts of the country) and another boyfriend I'd had my first year of college. And that's it, both committed relationships and nothing casual. \n\nHe then went on to say that because of my low value, I was going to need to be making it up to him for the rest of my life. That I didn't deserve monogamy or equal treatment and that I was lucky that anyone at all wanted to marry me. And - that he's \"connected\" with someone from work so if I wanted to keep him I'd better step up.\n\nI told him it didn't sound like there was anything to keep if he no longer loved me (or even liked or respected me). Told him to leave and he said he would gladly go to his girlfriend's place.\n\nI know SO many people here insisted he was having an affair and I just didn't want to see it, that his \"complaints\" were really all part of a campaign to distance himself from me. I feel SO foolish for just thinking he was going through a stressful time at work or that he genuinely wanted to work on our marriage.\n\nAnyway I have taken the week off from work to get my head together. Have an appointment with a lawyer tomorrow. Canceled the marriage counseling appointment but got a referral to an individual therapist who can do an intake session with me later in the week. He (and the girlfriend apparently) are coming this evening to get more of his clothes and things so I have to brace myself for that.\n\nAlso, please be assured I do NOT think I am low-value in any way. I let my husband make me think less of myself on some levels for a short time but now I truly see it was a \"him\" problem. Obviously we don't share the same goals and values and he has become someone I don't recognize. \n\nI know the divorce won't be fun or easy, but I will be okay. Thank you all for helping me see that I was being played before I wasted too much more time in a marriage that was already over."

I decided to try a little experiment over the weekend to see what would happen if I tried to meet some of his demands. NOT because I actually thought they were reasonable, but because I increasingly had the sense that the goalposts would just keep moving and that I was playing a losing game. So, Saturday morning, I went to the salon for a glow-up (haircut, fresh highlights, mani/pedi) then went to the farmer's market to pick up fresh flowers for our table and assorted other gourmet ingredients. Saturday is usually our date night out but I suggested we stay in so I could make us a special dinner, steakhouse style (lobster bisque, bread basket with several types of rolls/savory muffins made from scratch, crab-stuffed mushrooms, filet mignon, au gratin potatoes, white chocolate mousse topped with raspberries). I wore a lavender (his favorite color on me) sheath dress and high heels and fully done hair and makeup. For all that I got a lukewarm \"thanks, it was tasty\" and a kiss on the cheek. Of course I did all the serving and cleanup.\n\nSunday we usually go out but he suggested I make us brunch at home. So I made French-press coffee, mimosas with fresh-squeezed orange juice, Belgian waffles with a bananas Foster topping, eggs scrambled with parmesan and fresh herbs from our garden, roasted fingerling potatoes, and maple-glazed bacon. I wore a blue sleeveless sundress, wedge sandals, again did my hair and makeup. Again I got a \"thanks, it's good\" and no help with serving or cleanup.\n\nAfterwards I asked if this is what he had in mind when he critiqued me before. He said that it was a start, but that I was \"acting very entitled for wanting credit for basic adulting.\"\n\nHe then dropped a bomb that he was being so hard on me because he had realized lately I had a lot to make up for due to my being a \"low-value woman.\" I asked what on earth he meant by that and he said it was because I wasn't a virgin when we met. \n\nWHAT?!?!\n\nKeep in mind we started dating at 21, neither of us claimed to be virgins or stated that as an expectation. Except for very religious people (neither of us is) I don't think most 21-year-old college students are virgins. I was upfront with him then that I'd had two previous partners, my high school boyfriend (we went our separate ways when we went to different colleges in different parts of the country) and another boyfriend I'd had my first year of college. And that's it, both committed relationships and nothing casual. \n\nHe then went on to say that because of my low value, I was going to need to be making it up to him for the rest of my life.

I decided to try a little experiment over the weekend to see what would happen if I tried to meet some of his demands. NOT because I actually thought they were reasonable, but because I increasingly had the sense that the goalposts would just keep moving and that I was playing a losing game. So, Saturday morning, I went to the salon for a glow-up (haircut, fresh highlights, mani/pedi) then went to the farmer's market to pick up fresh flowers for our table and assorted other gourmet ingredients. Saturday is usually our date night out but I suggested we stay in so I could make us a special dinner, steakhouse style (lobster bisque, bread basket with several types of rolls/savory muffins made from scratch, crab-stuffed mushrooms, filet mignon, au gratin potatoes, white chocolate mousse topped with raspberries). I wore a lavender (his favorite color on me) sheath dress and high heels and fully done hair and makeup. For all that I got a lukewarm \"thanks, it was tasty\" and a kiss on the cheek. Of course I did all the serving and cleanup.\n\nSunday we usually go out but he suggested I make us brunch at home. So I made French-press coffee, mimosas with fresh-squeezed orange juice, Belgian waffles with a bananas Foster topping, eggs scrambled with parmesan and fresh herbs from our garden, roasted fingerling potatoes, and maple-glazed bacon. I wore a blue sleeveless sundress, wedge sandals, again did my hair and makeup. Again I got a \"thanks, it's good\" and no help with serving or cleanup.\n\nAfterwards I asked if this is what he had in mind when he critiqued me before. He said that it was a start, but that I was \"acting very entitled for wanting credit for basic adulting.\"\n\nHe then dropped a bomb that he was being so hard on me because he had realized lately I had a lot to make up for due to my being a \"low-value woman.\" I asked what on earth he meant by that and he said it was because I wasn't a virgin when we met. \n\nWHAT?!?!\n\nKeep in mind we started dating at 21, neither of us claimed to be virgins or stated that as an expectation. Except for very religious people (neither of us is) I don't think most 21-year-old college students are virgins. I was upfront with him then that I'd had two previous partners, my high school boyfriend (we went our separate ways when we went to different colleges in different parts of the country) and another boyfriend I'd had my first year of college. And that's it, both committed relationships and nothing casual. \n\nHe then went on to say that because of my low value, I was going to need to be making it up to him for the rest of my life. That I didn't deserve monogamy or equal treatment and that I was lucky that anyone at all wanted to marry me. And - that he's \"connected\" with someone from work so if I wanted to keep him I'd better step up.\n\nI told him it didn't sound like there was anything to keep if he no longer loved me (or even liked or respected me). Told him to leave and he said he would gladly go to his girlfriend's place.\n\nI know SO many people here insisted he was having an affair and I just didn't want to see it, that his \"complaints\" were really all part of a campaign to distance himself from me. I feel SO foolish for just thinking he was going through a stressful time at work or that he genuinely wanted to work on our marriage.\n\nAnyway I have taken the week off from work to get my head together. Have an appointment with a lawyer tomorrow. Canceled the marriage counseling appointment but got a referral to an individual therapist who can do an intake session with me later in the week. He (and the girlfriend apparently) are coming this evening to get more of his clothes and things so I have to brace myself for that.\n\nAlso, please be assured I do NOT think I am low-value in any way. I let my husband make me think less of myself on some levels for a short time but now I truly see it was a \"him\" problem. Obviously we don't share the same goals and values and he has become someone I don't recognize. \n\nI know the divorce won't be fun or easy, but I will be okay. Thank you all for helping me see that I was being played before I wasted too much more time in a marriage that was already over."

Whether he contributed the same amount or not he’s gonna come to realize that his spending habits and this new girlfriend aren’t gonna last forever. Good luck to you though! I hope you find peace and happiness once dealing with him is all over for you!!"
