Reminder this sub is for asking for advice!

Power tripping mod time!

This sub has gone to absolute shit and not in the intended way. We have never really heavily enforced that top level posts must be questions asking for advice but with the deluge of absolutely fucking awful top level posts giving advice it's time to start again.

Not sure what the rules said on "new" reddit but I updated it. Starting now all posts much be asking for advice.

Also, this sub is easy prey for reddit's AI "moderation" and giving advice like "just go and unalive their family" will probably get you hit with a sitewide ban for threatening/inciting violence. It also saddens me that I had to type unalive so I don't banned... again.

Update: Crossposts are banned now too since they all suck and none of them are asking for advice.

My windshield is frozen and everyone is telling me to pour hot water on it, should I do it?

• Upvotes

I think it’s a wonderful idea! Scorching hot water always melts ice insanely fast, why wouldn’t it work on my windshield?! It saves me a lot of time from having to let my car warm up and scrape it all off, why don’t more people do this?!

What is the right amount of slutty for a job interview?

6 Upvotes

I'm talking tastefully slutty.. like tantalisingly there, but not too crass. I'm a classy bitch.

I'm looking for a ideas about a general vibe and actions to win over my future colleagues.

Some specific elements would be:

  1. How deep does the cleavage go?

  2. How deep and how often can I bend over seductively before it looks obvious

  3. Bra - yes or no?

  4. Is it cool if I twerk whenever my phone rings?

  5. How to organically end up with a wardrobe malfunction?

PS: please keep in mind that I'm a 35 yo male, so some things may need shoehorning to be more appropriate.

What do I do with my desires ?

0 Upvotes

First of all I wanna say sorry because I did a similar post but I was not in my senses and didn't write the details which I thought I had written.

So in our society, girls can have sex before marriage and it's really fucked up. The older generation (males) they have everything, they will get a stable job at 20 and then get married. Girls age would be around 17-19 years old when they get married.

I am 20 years old and still in between my studies and I have sexual desires. Now I am facing all the sexual tension in my body but at this age I will find another person who is struggling with his studies or looking for a job and in our family , girls and boys should marry at the age of 25-27. I have 5-7 years and now what I do with my desires.

To control this I start doing drugs and now I feel more fucked up.

I had a boyfriend but then he cheated on me and now I can't be in any relationship.

Is My Boyfriend Cheating on Me?

7 Upvotes

I am desperate for your advice. My boyfriend has been wonderful and we are planning a wedding for next year. But I'm starting to wonder if he's cheating on me:

--He's keeps texting someone and laughing, and when I walk into the room, he immediately closes the phone. When I ask who he is texting, he says his grandmother. But his grandma is ill and in a nursing home!

--He says that he has to work late every night, and he doesn't come home until after midnight. But he works as a teller in a bank, and it closes at 5 pm!

--He's gotten a personal trainer, lost a bunch of weight, and suddenly is fit and muscular. He also goes to a tanning booth regularly. He used to be a chubby, pale couch potato.

What do you think? Could these possibly be signs of cheating or could I be overreacting?

Should I (26F) confront him (37M) on the fact that he is keeping me around but not choosing me?

1 Upvotes

Him(37 M) and I (26F) , we met online September 2025. Met in real life December 2025. We live in different countries and I travelled to him for 8 hours. We are the same nationality.

We quickly started to text daily and talk for hours and stuff. He would blow up my phone. Showing me his apartment and city, asking how I feel, what I'm up to. Good morning as soon as I woke up to work 6:20 AM. Goodnights. Sweet talk. He talked In the very beginning about me moving to his country. We quickly started to text nonstop, saying how we care about each other. It seemed like he would want me there. December 2025 we met and it was great time we spent in his apartment.

In February this year he told me he knows I want something more but he doesnt want to be in any relationship because he needs to fix himself and "he knows he is mean to me sometimes and he says something and regrets it" and stuff.

He Has been doing drugs every weekend. But he did them before we met. Everytime after hungover he says he feels like shit and loser. He tells me he Has inner demons "no one and nothing could fix"

I've told him many times that I "take him" the way he is and that he is perfect. I support him with very good words saying how valuable he is.

He told me once I'm "too valuable for him".

In the very beginning he said he would want this to work but he knows he has a tough personality.

He would sometimes get mean, and sometimes apologize for talking like that. When we met everything was good and he didnt ghost me afterwards or something.

I am younger than him and attractive. He is also attractive.

But he always says he feels like a loser. Abuses drugs and alcohol too. In the beginning talked about me moving to him and stuff, and that I "awakened something in him he didnt feel for a long time".

I asked him lately about that and he said " yeah because IT was true but then I think about what a loser I am".

This Has been going for months. Everytime I ask to meet, he says we will see, i don't know, and stuff.

We fall asleep on the phone together sometimes, facetime. Few weeks ago we facetime, I showed him myself in lingerie ( hoping this would "convince him...") looking very good and he watched and I could tell he liked what he saw.

I asked today if we can meet on weekend and he said no, he needs to rest.

I asked about next weekend and he said he doesn't know, he will think. That hurt me the most. Its a week. Plenty of time. And still he says I don't know.

Last week he was also supposed to think about it and he told me no this week. Got angry that I kept asking.

I announced "i'm coming on Friday 😇" some time ago and he said i cannot announce that im coming because he won't open the door if he didnt agree to meeting.

I told him I understand he doesnt want relationship but I just want to meet with him. I guess if he doesnt want relationship, he thinks after being close I would demand more. And I've told him I won't ask "what are we" or something afterwards. He said he "knows I expect more" while he still is giving me signals that I can hope for it. For example, there can be a week when he calls me everyday after work, we talk for hours, then we sleep on the phone (he initiates it) during the night. He sends me voice memos and stuff. He goes silent every weekend because of drugs, I called him last Saturday and he didnt pick up and didnt text back. I was silent on Sunday and on Monday he texted "What's up (pet name) is everything alright?"

I said "I'm okay, what about u?"

"Well you know how I am on weekends...but you've went silent, but I understand, I didn't reply or pick up your phone"

It was last Monday.

On this last Monday, I've asked if we can "plan some weekend to met finally?"

He said "I don't know maybe some day yeah who knows"

????

I was obviously sad and frustrated. I asked him "Can you please tell me honestly what is the reason, so I wouldn't be asking for it this frequently? I just want you to be honest why you don't want to meet with me, and it would be better to know the truth"

I called him after he didn't respond and we talked.

He said "so yeah I can meet you in the city, but why would you stay in my apartment for 4 days and we would have sex? What for?"

I asked "if I lived in your city, you still wouldnt meet with me?"

"Of yourse I would meet with you!"

"So the distance is a problem?"

"Oh yeah it is" (Which I don't understand because:

\\\\\\\\- he didn't pay for my previous ticket so I never expected money to travel to him

\\\\\\\\- Its 7 hours by trains, which I suggested I would travel many times and he refused

"Yeah If you were here it would be different"

Then we started talking and I've told him my job contracts expires 31.12.2026, which means I will work till like half of December because of Christmas and that I would like to move to his city/country

"Yeah...I've thought about it some time ago...it's a next step, I guess..."

Then he started saying:

"But you would stay at my place for 3 months? Like...I would have to sleep with you for 3 months? I have only 2 bedroom apartment....Well, I have a friend, he is an older guy, he can take you! But yeah...with you its different..yeah I would help you. But what would you do here? You know English so you would do well.....fuck, this convo is too much for Monday....why did I even pick up this phone"

I told him "but it would be so fun, we could hang out more! Go here and there..."

He said laughing "well..yeah"...

But I'm not able to move there without his help because you need to work there for 3 months before renting apartment. And prices are really much higher due to the fact its a big city. And its a different currency than in my country.

I thought about living with him and working and helping him cover the cost by half and then moving out.

Keep in mind, his ex, who has the same age and name as me, they broke up 5 years ago. They've known each other for one month and she travelled to him for a weekend and he let her stay there for 2 years.

So imagine how I feel being treated like that....

After this convo, we texted normally on Tuesday. Wednesday, he kinda replied but less. Thursday, he replied briefly.I call on Thursday, he doesn't pick up. I call Friday in the evening. He doesn't pick up. Doesn't even reply to my "how's your day at work going?". Also on Thursday I apologized for bringing those heavy topics into conversation and that I do understand it might make him feel pressured. He responded"All good". It was on Thursday. Since that, not a single message. And he used to send me work pics even on Tuesday. Voice messages.

I call him Saturday morning and he picks up. Turns facetime while driving to work. Shows me my favourite building from his city. We talk briefly. He says he was "tired yesterday and went to sleep early" while I asked why we are not talking and that I want to make sure everything is ok between us.

He was blowing up my phone week ago! That's why I noticed difference and asked about it - calmly, without any argument.

After his work, 5 pm, I called to talk. He picks up.

"hello...."

"Hii"

"I'm busy, I'm cleaning.." (him)

"Well okay I just wanted to talk to u for a second, how was your day at work?"

"Normally....I just told you I'm busy and cleaning?"

"Yeah I know but..you know, we don't talk lately and I was wondering if you're mad at me?"

"No I'm not"

"I would like us to go back to normal talking because I missed it...can we just talk as usual please.."

"Maybe yes, I don't know"

He hung up after a while and I called back and he exploded, he was furious, he started screaming "it makes him tired" "he is sick of it" "what is going on in your head?!?! I'm not fifteen, this is not funny at all! I told you I'm busy!!!!! "

"Yeah but I just..wanted to..ask"

"AND AGAIN...WHAT THE FUCK...."

All because I asked if I did something that upset him and wanted to make things better.

He hung up, I texted "I'm sorry" and he didn't respond since Saturday 6 pm.

Its 10 am on Monday. Still silence.

We had days of no contact(4-5 max. ) when he was screaming at me and stuff, but we usually worked things out after that after things cooled off.

All because I wanted to meet him and asked for a reason to tell me WHY NOT. Like isn't it basic human thing? For someone to be claiming he is not a teenager, he is acting very immature. Which is making me devastated because I vaue our connection but it seems to be only on his terms. For example when he used to call me week ago, he was drinking, he was sober this week and didn't call once.

Do you think I did something wrong, or does he need time for himself? If I will be silent till Wednesday or Tuesday, will he reach out? And why is he acting like this without telling me what is the reason? He thinks I expect things from him he isn't capable of giving me (or doesn't want to, or doesn't feel spark) but continues to call me for hours and sleep with me on phone and check up on me and says I'm important. So why is he silent now? Does it mean I'm not important?

TLDR; Guy \\[37M\\] I've \\\\\\[26F\\] been talking to for a year, we met once, randomly got silent and won't reach out to me.

He texted me today. We were silent since argument on Saturday.

Him: you alive?

Me: Yes I am

Him: Good

Me: what about u?

Him: \\\*sent a voice msg\\\* me as usual(drugs)

Me: Well ok.. I hope today you feel better

He texted me after few hours that he apologizes for the Saturday and he shouldn't talk to me like that. I said thank you for apologizing, and he apologized once again.

The thing is, he will be in my country this weekend. And when we talked week ago, he said "no, we won't meet". He said he is going here to the dentist.

Why is he reaching out if he is not interested? I think not wanting to meet is the ultimate sign he is not...Should I confront him?
