A netizen shared how he was feeling sick one morning and couldn’t go to school, and his mother thought that he was trying to chao keng.

Here is the story:

How did my mother manage to make me feel bad for being sick?

Woke up and pooped my intestines out, tried to just eat something and get on with it because I didn’t want to miss school.

Told my mother I wasn’t feeling well and she just said to take it easy after school, fine. I ate something small and threw up in my mouth, told my mom this wasn’t going to happen.

She got visibly annoyed and when I asked why she said it was because I get sick so often and I’m missing stuff. I almost had my shoes on ready to go before I knew it was just too bad, does she think I’m doing this on purpose?

Netizen comments

If you are experiencing these specific types of symptoms often, you need to see a doctor to find the cause. Perhaps it is a gastrointestinal issue?

Nah don’t listen to your mum about that, I had a friend who did what your mum was saying (chao keng) but if you seriously aren’t, don’t feel bad…

It happens

A woman shared about how her husband told her that he had a wet dream about her the night before and now she is going to reward him by making it a reality.

Here is the story:

My husband told me that last night he had an amazing wet dream about … me.

Well, doesn’t that make me feel some kinda way.

He said that we had the best intercourse of his life, during which he came all over my face. He told me that he woke up afterward to see if he had a wet dream.

A wet dream! About his own wife. Well, I’ll be …

This is particularly exciting because his libido is so far behind mine. We rarely argue or fight, but when we do it most often stems from a (perceived?) lack of desire to be intimate.

I wish he had just woken me up then and there and taken me for a ride.

Suffice it to say, someone’s getting their dreams turned into reality tonight.

Well played, husband. Well played.

Hey guys, need some advice. Here’s some backstory.

Boyfriend, let’s call him Joe, and I have been dating for around 6 months. I assume we both like each other quite a bit and I genuinely believe that he’s a good person.

At the very beginning of our relationship, 6 months ago, I saw Tinder on his phone while sitting next to him. I asked Joe why he uses Tinder and his answer was to meet new people. At the moment, I dropped it but later on, during a conversation on the topic, I told him it bothers me and he apologized, saying he understands and that he will delete it.

Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, It came to my attention that he follows random girls on Instagram. Because of Joe’s past use of dating apps, I brought it up and he said he just follows random girls on suggested because he thinks they’re attractive. Okay, not so suspicious but I kept this in the back of my mind. Sometime later, I noticed on Joe’s Playstore that Tinder and OkCupid had been downloaded and deleted. FYI, I saw this because we use each other’s phones and I needed to download an application on his phone. He denied using it and explained that he doesn’t know why that happened. In the meanwhile, he is still following random girls on IG.

I was not convinced, and one day, while he was sleeping, I looked through his application download history. To my surprise, I saw at least 10-15 ‘dating apps’ and the likes download then deleted through various intervals since June. I told Joe and he initially denied it, then confessed telling me that the reason why he uses such apps is that he thinks that adult videos is ‘too fake’ and that he uses these sex/dating apps to look at women’s photos or videos to PCC/beat the aeroplane. I asked him if he talked to any of these girls, he said no. After later ‘questioning’ he also claims to have talked to around 10 girls. I checked out these apps and the girls are like amateur ‘cam girls’ who get paid in coins or whatever. But I do know that he has chatted with real girls in our city from regular dating apps like Tinder or OkCupid.

Joe expressed his guilt and apologized. He said he knows it’s wrong but that it’s like an addiction and he has unsuccessfully tried stopping before. This issue was discussed for 2-3 days. At times, he would freak out or get angry. Claiming that I should forgive him because he immediately forgave me for kissing my female friend when I was drunk a while back. Telling me he knows what he did is wrong but that “It’s not that big of a deal and I don’t think it’s cheating. So I can’t understand why you can’t forgive me?” Backstory on me kissing a girl, as soon as I remembered, I told him what happened the next morning. I’m bisexual and we had discussed the idea of me fooling around with women before.

I don’t think Joe actually met up with any of these women.

My biggest problem is that this is a long-term thought out lie. If Joe was honest with me about this, it could have been discussed and solved. Now my head is fucked. I really like him but my trust is broken.

I’m not sure how to proceed and honestly, I’m just looking for some outside opinions and insight. What are your thoughts? What should I do? What would you do in this situation?

Thanks.

I’m eating pizza and crepes by myself on my birthday and I’ve come to realize I’m not as important to my friends as they are to me

(I’m sorry if this seems like a pity party considering what’s going on in the world)

People wished me a happy birthday (the standard “happy birthday text/Facebook wall post, and I’m grateful for that) but no one came to hang with me to just eat (multiple people were invited).

I don’t expect gifts, I’m too old to throw a fit but it’s difficult not to feel the goddamn void of people when I’m just eating alone in my apartment, especially after two days ago we just celebrated another friend’s birthday, with a surprise birthday party(we’re all vaccinated), gifts and drinking.

Its been like this for 3 years now.

Maybe I’m that friend that people just tolerate but don’t really like. The pizza and crepes are good though. I’m grateful for that.

Next year I’m just gonna travel by myself to another country.

Netizens’ comments

• I’m sorry man. I felt this way for a long time but I need them more than they need me. Unpopular and stupid thing to do but fuck it. Just learn to enjoy your own company.

• This is a sad realization when you finally accept that most people are not there for you. If you can find one or two real friends they’ll last a lifetime…

I used to go above and beyond for people until I gripped that you don’t have to go above and beyond with people who know your worth and care about you.

I (28f) threw up all over my boyfriend’s (31m) floor. I got so sick and I couldn’t even make it to the bathroom.

I was laying on the bathroom floor afterwards and couldn’t move. He checked on me and cleaned it all up. At 2am.

Then he cuddled me to sleep. In the morning he made sure I drank plenty of water, gave me Advil and even made me breakfast while I showered.

I would also like to mention he JUST moved into this place and everything is shiny and new. And I threw up all over it. I was mortified.

Later that day I had to work late. He came to my place and washed my sheets for me so I’d have a comfy bed to sleep in, and he stayed with me to make sure I was okay.

I just… really want to show him how much it means to me. I’m making him dinner tomorrow night, but it doesn’t seem like enough. I love how kind he is. I hope I can be his wife someday.

• Cooking a meal is a good idea. Give him food poisoning so that he throws up and you can return the favour.

• He seems like a very understanding and simplistic person. I think dinner and just saying thank you is plenty. Being kind is often an expression of love, Im sure he was more then happy to help you.

A netizen shared how her husband doesn’t care about her birthday, despite all she does for him on his birthday.

Here is the story:

“My husband didn’t forget my birthday, he just didn’t care.

For his birthdays, I ask him what kind of cake he’d like and either pick it up or make it. I make sure he has time with his friends, I make reservations at restaurants (or during pandemic, pick up his favorite sandwiches or pizzas), I get the beers he likes, presents, and I keep the kids for the whole day so he has time to have be with his friends or play video games.

This year, he said “happy birthday” at 10 am and I solo-parented from 7 am to 11 pm like I do most days. He didn’t forget, he just didn’t care.

Some people seem to think I want some grand affair. The bare minimum would have been fine, and yes he knows I want some recognition for my birthday. He just didn’t do it. I wanted to get it off my chest before talking to him about it because what he doesn’t deserve is a bunch of verbal insults yelled at him in the heat of the moment just because I’m mad.

Also, it doesn’t matter at all what someone else would or would not want for their birthday; I wanted him to show me he cared and he didn’t, and that hurt. I don’t care if you don’t care about your birthday.

We talked and he claimed not to know I felt this way. I told him yes, he did know and he said “Yeah, I guess I’m just tired.” And that was it. I’m going out with my friends this weekend and having a bonfire in their backyard. Whether he comes or not is up to him.”

Editor’s note: Try ignoring his birthday, let him have a taste.

So fun fact the first (and only) time i’ve ever tried to have intercourse, i had an anxiety attack after i took my shirt off and after the other party calmed me down

I left quite quickly and never spoke to them again (which i feel kinda guilty about but then again they never tried to contact me again and we were never in an established relationship)

Snd since then i have actively avoided any kind of intimacy despite my craving for physical connection and someone who cares about me.

Yea im really touch starved and want a relationship but also dont for obvious reasons….so yeah

Netizen’s comments

• May sound like odd advice, but why not find someone to help you get over it?
  If you’re into any genders and you explain the situation (how you fear intimacy), I’m sure a friend could help you get over it.
  I used to suffer from performance anxiety, I had a close friend agree to let us explore each other and after that I never felt awkward again in a bedroom.

I haven’t had a great relationship with my MIL, she’s stubborn and pulls tantrums when she doesn’t get her way. She shows up unannounced and gets mad when people don’t read her mind on what she wants.

She never ever comes to our house and always expects us to go there. I finally put my foot down and said I will not go to her house until she comes to ours and it will have to be a back and forth.

We invited her several times and she declined. She finally agreed to come tomorrow for lunch. I cleaned the house so well, bought $90 in groceries to make a bunch of food for them. We called today and asked that they come at 2 pm- guess that was a mistake.

She wanted to come earlier. She then said she will not be coming at all. We asked what time she prefers and she said 12- we said sure. She said never mind, still not coming, bye. Won’t talk to us now.

WHAT on earth goes on in this woman’s head? We were willing to change the time and because we didn’t guess the right time to start she now refuses to come over and she’s mad at us.

And I can guarantee she will change her mind last minute tomorrow and say she’s coming- I told fiance she isn’t welcome tomorrow now because I have plans. I don’t actually have any but I think she’s acting like a child and I don’t want to see her at this point.

Just needed to vent, this woman behaves like a 12 year old and it drives me nuts.
