So I've been hitting it off (I think anyway) with a girl at college. We've been sitting together, chatting, studying maths and stuff. We like the same sort of TV shows and I've made her laugh and what not.

Last week she asked to come over to my place to watch Rick and Morty. She said she'd bring weed and baked goods. We found out later that it wasn't coming out this weekend, but I invited her over nontheless and she seemed keen.

Anyway cut to today, I sent a message asking what time she was gonna come over and she hasn't responded and it's like 7:30 now.

I'm gonna see her at class tomorrow I assume, how do I handle being stood up? Do I play it off? Ask her why she said nothing?

I've been paying my ex child support at more than 3x what I'm legally obliged to. I have paid his school fees, put shoes on his feet and gone halves in medical expenses. I regularly buy him boxes of pokemon card boosters, and other little toys that he asks for.

Despite all this, his mother still calls me a "deadbeat dad". She moved him to a different town when he was a baby, so I've only been seeing him twice a year. I have to father him over the phone.

I tried to open a dialogue about me moving to her town, and she said she didn't want me to. She said I would be a bad influence on my son, despite being a drug and alcohol free, Christian with zero criminal record.

I took offense to this, and I threatened to reduce my child support to the base amount set by law. She responded with a tirade of abuse and threatened to kill me.

I want to reduce my support so that she might learn to have some appreciation for my input, instead of referring to me as a "sperm donor". Her counter is that if I reduce my payments, it will affect my son negatively. She will have to cut some of his activities like guitar lessons, and won't be able to access medical support as readily.

I'm at a loss on what to do. I can't move up there while she has this animosity towards me as I don't want to expose my son to it. I don't want my son to be affected by the reduced income on her end, but I need some way to show her that my input is valuable and I'm doing my best to be a good father.

What should I do?

What do, guys? I've been pretty uninterested in romance (still are desu) so I've been had a girlfriend or sex, but having a girlfriend seems too much trouble for me right now, I just want sex, but I'm not sure if I should pursue it here, not because "I'd risk the relationship" (desu I think we could take this), rather I'm not sure how serious these double entendres are.

Hey, first time here, i might need help.
I finished "13 reasons why" yesterday and it was triggered for me.
I suffer from depression since I was 15 and I tried to kill myself once and I almost died. It happened a long time ago but this show brought many memories back and I can't stop thinking about the day I've tried suicide and the worst part is that I can't even remember clearly what happened to me. The only thing I can remember is that I called a friend and he didn't want to talk to me.
I'm so sad because of this.
:(

I'm a freshmen in college and I'm beginning to get the feeling that some of my friends don't like me anymore.

I thought we were pretty good friends but lately I feel as if they've been making a point to exclude me from things. They don't invite to do stuff anymore and if we're hanging out in the same space they never talk to me.

Also some times I catch them whispering to each other and laughing when they're around me and when I leave the room I'll hear them talking about me.

What should I do? I know that I really don't need friends like this but when they're the center of your social circle it's hard to avoid them. Especially since I'm in my first year and don't know many people yet.

I was thinking about asking one of the people I'm closer with in the group to tell me how those guys feel about me so I can know for sure. What do you guys think?

Sorry for all this text. Any help is appreciated.

How the fuck do you deal with family which keeps justifying asshole behavior towards the younger generations as "preparing you for the real world"?

For example, the entire extended family shat on my cousin for at least 6 years at every family gathering after she failed out of college in a major she was completely unsuited for. My aunt forced her into it largely since it would make my aunt look good. They justified this as saying that this was to "make her improve" and that at work people do this to each other all the time so they're "preparing her".

They also make absurd demands like asking one of us to "keep them company" while they make some frivolous errand in the middle of the day (literally going shopping at a mall) while we have work and school. When told no, they get upset, then accuse whoever just rejected them of not caring or worse acting disrespectful (raising voice and getting mad is most common). When you point out that is exactly what they just did, they just tell you that they can do it since they're older than you and that's the way it is.

My uncle (not blood related) in particular arrives at family gatherings, then comes in and orders me, or whatever cousin happens to be there to bring his stuff in, not even asking "can you please...?". I remember at least one time he got upset that we weren't out the door fast enough.

I've also had aunts deliberately walk slower than me while we are walking through a door. I would often get to it first, open it, hold it open long enough for what should be reasonably long enough for them to walk through (I would have to move forward since the doorway often isn't wide enough for all of us and there are other people) only to find that they would stop. Of course, they would bitch and moan how this was ungentlemanly behavior and say they were doing it to teach me a lesson. From what I've seen, nobody else deliberately does things like this. I almost feel like it's entrapment sometimes.

I'm dating this guy, we're going along fine, in love, good sex, lots in common, same values etc. etc.

The issue is his family. They're muslim, although he's not (he left the faith at age 14, and we live in the west so it's not like he got beheaded for it). I'm not a Muslim either (I'm just a secular white girl, not even raised christian or anything) , and this is seen as a massive issue for his family. They think I'm a slut (and they actually called me one to my face) because we live together and aren't married, and I'm not a Hijabi (why would I be?). They also think I'm not feminine enough, basically because I work and have a university degree am not a housewife. The former came from his mother, and the latter from his father.

He's gotten into some really big fights with them over it, so it's not like he's leaving me to fend for myself. I just don't want to cause such a rift between him and his family. I've tried really hard to be gracious, kind and accomodating with them, dressing modestly in their presence (though obviously not wearing a hijab or anything), offering to help when I visit, creating feasts when they come to visit etc.

I just don't know what to do. Is this some kind of cultural thing I have to accept, or is there a way to get around it?

Hello 4chan,

Now normally I come here to bitch and moan about my relationshit but I have a new quandary that I would like help with, if you would be so kind.

Now I know many people would love to be in my situation and while I do enjoy it, it leaves me in a tough situation.

I have spent the last 8 months doing shit jobs while trying to get into my career, Bylaw Enforcement (I think it's Code Officers in the Stats) and last week I finally landed one that is close to the actual position I want while still being entry level enough so I can gain experience. Now just this week on Thursday I was contacted by 2 other organizations to come in for job interviews. One that I was completely under qualified for and the other a 4 hour move away. So I will list the pros and cons to each position. (I know I am worrying about jobs that I haven't even been offered but I analyze everything regardless) only a 4 month contract part-time.

Option 1: Park Officer- This job is a step below a Park Ranger or a Conservation officer. In theory I like the aspects of the job, enforcing laws and walking/ hiking for job. Advancement opportunities to upper positions may be available. However, the job is seasonal and only 4 days/week x 6 hours. So I would have to supplement my work week with another part time job (I am currently employed here, waiting to start next week. I also have a decent part time job that would fit these hours as well.) This would cause me to work 6 days a week just to gain 40 hours. $26 + 6.25% in lieu of benefits.

Option 2: Bylaw Officer/ Dog-Animal Control Officer- This job pays much better at 31/32- hour + $3/hr in lieu of benefits. It is a 1 year contract for maternity leave coverage. This is ideally great experience and full time but it requires me to basically uproot myself and move for one year with no guarantee of re-employment afterwards. (cont.)

I don't mind a girl with a little extra, but I recently started seeing a girl who has a little extra for a little extra.

Still has a pretty face, great personality and funny. Whole package but the weight kinda puts me off and I know she'd be 10/10 if she lost a decent chunk.

Anything I can do, anons? Wait it out until we've known each other more and see if she responds to some pushing to go to the gym? Is there some way to politely ask how she feels about being more active?

Recently my girlfriend has been acting kind of strange. Sometimes she'll say she's "Going into little space" and I'm pretty confused. We're both adults but whenever she's a "little" she acts like a toddler and calls me momma. I've been going along with it because I don't want her to feel bad.
