Your family is strict and constantly asks your boyfriend to go grocery shopping with you (his girlfriend) and go from store to store for about half the day. One day, your sister leaves the house (for good) and things are bad. your parents are distraught refusing to do anything but cry in bed. You call your boyfriend late at night and tell him there is no food at home that you’ll probably have to see if he can take you grocery shopping. He says ONE store. You say ill see, ill call u tomorrow bc what if i need you? He says thats fine, ill be here. You call and he says he won't take you because he is with his brother and his SO who just came down from 2 towns over. He has told you in the past he values family. You are upset but your boyfriend doesn’t understand why. Who is right?

You have 2 options.

Option #1 - Self confident woman who is fun to be around, etc. however she has a life (I do NOT mean she's seeing other men). When you're not together she isn't blowing up your phone, she's not hounding your social media, etc. If you don't respond after some time she may text you a "are you ok" sort of text.

Option #2 - Clingy woman who is fun to be around, etc., however she is clingy. When you're not together she is blowing up your phone, hounding your social media, complains if you don't respond fast enough, etc (god forbid you go a few hours without responding cause she'll be calling all your friends asking where you are).

I'm asking because I think that hardworking women are upset that they're getting less from their man than women who are lounging around.

I'm not saying men do this but I'm not saying they don't do this. I'm simply wondering what you think.

So my boyfriend keeps talking to a girl that clearly makes me feel uncomfortable. He has been friends with her for three years but I heard from his other friends he had a sexual relationship with her in the past before we got into a relationship. He keeps denying it. She just criticized me and makes fun of me to him. I told him to stop talking to her and he said he would like three times but I keep seeing he keeps talking to her behind my back. Am I overreacting for not wanting him to talk to her and what should I do because he is not respecting what I ask of him.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for over a year now and every time we see each other we always go out and have fun, which is great and all but I have always expressed my concern with us spending a lot (mostly me) and for us not to go out all the time and to save money. His reason is that we can still go out and have a good time and go the less expensive route. For me I think we should go out once or twice a month to save money. My boyfriend is worried and doesn't want us to be the boring couple and still wants to go out.

Women, you'd be giving up a lot of freedoms, including bodily autonomy, and would be expected to keep a tidy home and tend to your man, but would be provided for.

Men, you'd get all the sex you wanted, and a hot meal waiting for you, but you have to be able to provide for your family.

This would obviously have to limit male applicants to only those who can support a family of 3, and women who can prove they can maintain a house and pass cooking classes.

And of course it would all be voluntary.

Boyfriend booked a trip for a few days to spend time with a friend. I casually asked how they met since he lives across the country. He says they used to be roommates.

I noticed a friend suggestion on fb and noticed the friend he's going to see had the same last name as his ex. Turns out, his friend is his ex girlfriend's brother.

I think it's a tad dishonest he didn't tell me, but maybe he doesn't see the guy as his ex gfs brother?

More backstory: They broke up 2 years ago and a few weeks ago she called him and said nasty things about me (we don't know each other, so she just said a bunch of prejudiced things). One of his friends overheard the conversation and told me about it.

A few weeks later, he's flying to meet up with her brother (i dont think these things are related). She will not be there. He's not going to see her. She lives in another state and won't be there when he's there. I'm sure of that.

Just looking for different perspectives. It's not the end of the world, it just puts a bad taste I'm my mouth.
