I (23F) am being hit on by a pet sitting client (34M) through the Rover app and I'm not sure how to respond.

I've only sit his dog once and he seemed normal, however the last couple times he's asked me on very short notice to walk his dog then when I ask how I will get keys he doesn't say anything, then apologizes much later that "things changed". Today however, he said "it's ok we'll keep trying :-)", "How are you?", and "When you come back may I invite you for ☕(coffee)? :-)" I don't want to be rude but this is making me uncomfortable and my boyfriend is concerned about my safety and wants me to cut contact/report. Help?

How do I (f23) tell my roommate (f23) that she is not taking care of her pets without damaging our relationship?

I’ve been living with my two female roommates since July and one of them has two cats. My roommates travel quite frequently out of town and are gone for 3-7 days every now and then. During that time , I am usually the one that gets asked to feed the cats literally last second while they are leaving. I recently felt like I am purposefully not invited to tag along because I am supposed to be the free can-opener every time. I came to notice that next to an recurring flea infestation of the cats that affects me now (fleas like to bite me and my skin reacts pretty badly to it) , she cleans the one toilet the cats share max once a week. The other day I actually bought them another cat toilet because their old one is so disgusting I don’t even want to clean it. I’ve kinda just been letting it go but after I woke up with a swollen up flea bite this morning I am just angry. I know she is a nice girl and she helps me putting on make up at times but I feel like her cats suffer from this and I...

I [21M] broke up with my girlfriend[20F] because she wants me to cheat on her.

Me and my girlfriend of two years have been going through issues lately and I recently lost it after she said I should cheat on her so she could get jealous and want me more. To give some backstory, me and my girl are extremely close and we go to the same university. We spend almost every day together and we are pretty much inseparable in alot of aspects. Recently (within last year) we have had situations of her texting other guys and being too friendly with them through text. By no means was she being racy in her conduct but very borderline emotional cheating. Each time she has done this I've yelled at her, gotten upset, but forgiven her and moved on. And example of a situation is where she was talking to someone she met at her job and he dude complimented her on her looks and she said something along the lines of "you're cute". We've argued and talked about it and I've decided to forgive her again. Her main point in the argument was that the relationship...

Trust issues with a Reason - Long-Distance M27 W24

tl;dr Open Girl, Jealous guy - she did something inappropriate, i still believe shes the one and want to find trust again. ​ When me (M27) and my now gf (24) First Met, we both still had a relationship, both unhappy. It was on a metal festival, she braided my beard and i had to resist kissing her. I seldom ask for contact info, and if, its other dude that happens to like the same bands and alcohol as i do. I got hers. Half a year later i broke up, or better, my ex left me while i was 400km away for work and moved out (she had no way of moving stuff to her flat, so i did that for her when i came back, just to get rid of her ASAP, btw). My now gf happened to get into a really big fight over financials with her fiancee a month earlier, living on the couch of a (female) Friend for now. That was December. ​ January we started writing. Mid January it was Good Morning every Morning and Good night every evening. She lives 3 hours away, but March was the first meeting, after she finally s...

I (27F) feel emotionally numb in my relationship with (29M) partner

Throwaway account for reasons. I am reaching out for insight and new perspectives on my relationship. I have been with my partner for 11 years but married for 3. I ran away from an unsafe home as a 15 year old and lived with his parents (and him) for more than a year until I went to college. We are each others' first and only serious relationship. ​ Things started to go way downhill after our wedding. I persistently feel like he isn't connecting with me emotionally or even physically any longer. There are a lot of precipitating factors here, but I will list some of the more significant ones: ​ - he came out as bisexual 2 years after we got married. He knew since he was a pre-teen. I am fully supportive and have offered several times to have a discussion on how we can accommodate this. I also feel sad and hurt that he didn't feel comfortable enough to share this earlier. ​ -his mom likes to FSU. Since I lived with his family for a period of time, his mom is very hot/...

My (M24) girlfriend (F23) of a year and a half and I are in a..I don't even know what to call it. Not a fight exactly but something. I need advice. People with BPD and people with S/Os with BPD please help me out too

So on Tuesday I went over her house and we were watching through all the marvel movies with her siblings, pretty normal. but the past few times we've hung out I've noticed she's been pretty distant and seeming like she was avoiding me and I get it, she has BPD and goes through periods of time where she's all cuddly and touchy and affectionate and then she goes through times where she doesn't want to be touched and needs her space. So in my head I knew that that was the reason for the behavior but then another part of me was saying nope, it's you, you're annoying and everything you're doing annoys her. Those thoughts just kept itching at my mind and I got upset and had a bit of an attitude with her which she got pissed at me for. So the next morning I told her what was going on with me that led to that attitude and she told me how we've been dating over a year now and I should know that she goes through those periods of time and I said how yes I do,...

Had a shitty day, bf still went out with work buddies - AITA?

I had a very shitty day - not 'someone yelled at me and I feel bad' kinda shitty, but 'I was almost evicted from my house' kinda shitty My (23F) bf (M28) of 1 yea had made plans to go out with hi friends, and he decided to go along with those plans instead of coming to see me. He called to check in and see if I was okay, I told him I was still feeling shitty but working through it, and he said he's still gonna be out with his work buddies and will see me the next day. He is usually a thoughtful and loving bf, but this really rubbed me the wrong way and made me question whether I am a priority if he can't show up on my absolute worst day. He texted me to ask if I wanted to join him and his coworkers, and I told him I could see HIM, but I am in no mood to meet his work friends. Still, no change. ​ tl;dr BF still went out with colleagues after I had a shitty day. Am I overreacting? Or is it fair to expect him to cancel his plans/cut them short and come over? ...

/u/Snivies on Tired of people on this sub ignoring that asexuality has different meanings in non-western countries. POC asexuals and their different identities matter, we need to do better as a community.

It is racist in my view when they try to erase poc aroaces with the western asexual definition. I wasn't saying that everyone had to have the same definition, that was literally my point in writing the whole post. I guess you didn't read it either, otherwise you're just twisting my words August 03, 2019 at 12:11AM

Sexuality

I’m a 22m and have known for about 5 years that I was bisexual. For various reasons, to include molest, rape, and religion, I have chosen not to be romantically involved with men. I have been and I did enjoy it, but I always found myself to be wondering and confused. I have a hard time trusting people, but men more then most. I have never really had a problem with this as it doesn’t really affect me, but the few people I have told have changed their attitude towards me. Not like they don’t like me anymore but more as if I’m a different person now. As I stand here and write this, I struggle yet again with the dilemma of telling someone knew. This one is the hardest yet, as I know that I have to tell her, but I’m scared to. I love where our relationship is, and where it can go. She’s taken all my other skeletons in stride, but this one is the heaviest. If it got a little poetic at the end there, my apologies. I just need to say what I was feeling.

I do honestly think the main thing you got downvoted for is that you sort of portrayed their efforts to disentangle the giant knot, as somehow being racist. Maybe where you grew up they never tried to sort that out, or at least didn't sort it using quite the same terminology we do, which makes sense if it's a different language ( u/NoctilucentNimbus talked about how Japanese handles the distinction). But trying to paint it as cultural erasure to try to move past the oversimplified model where all aces are presumed aro and all aros presumed ace (which is widespread in Western culture anyway) is probably the main thing people take issue with about your post.
