The cl!t being in Idaho cracked me tf up

[@cel9294]

She really popped off with the one liners in this video

[@sassysoul7779]

53:48 This sounds like a nonconsensual humiliation kink. I've heard of similar encounters. I heard one where the guy would go to a bar and try to hook up with a random girl while his girlfriend sat across the bar and watched. Once they started hitting it off the girlfriend would walk over and confront the girl and even rough her up a little while reclaiming her man. He would watch and enjoy his girlfriend humiliating the poor girl he had just been flirting with. Then they would leave and go have sex, having been turned on by the power dynamic and humiliating the girl. It's truly disgusting. OP said she didn't even know this other girl existed, yet she was there eating dinner with him. And OP wasn't invited to dinner, just after dinner...because she wasn't the date, she was the entertainment. It could have started with the girl reading over his shoulder while they were messaging online. Maybe playing games like, "How long can you keep her in the conversation while I'm distracting you without her figuring it out?" Yuck. It seems like meeting face to face was just the next level of this little game. They started out talking normally with her to pull her in, but then started doing inappropriate things in front of her to see how long they could get away with it without her leaving. If he hadn't been throwing things at her I might just think they were inconsiderate and not self aware, but throwing things seems like a deliberate way of oddly involving her to keep her from leaving. Then, they go to the girl's place, where it continued on an even higher level. The goal was to see how long they could keep her from leaving while working each other up over humiliating her. They may have even hoped she would stay while they had sex in front of her? Humiliation kinks are very common and totally fine as long as it's consensual. Unfortunately, some people find it more exciting if the humiliated party is confused and helpless. They think that it's not real humiliation if it's consented to. These people are predators as far as I'm concerned. I'm completely disgusted. This experience sounds traumatizing. I hope OP is able to talk to someone irl and work thru it. No one deserves to be treated this way.

[@nicoledlugopolski4621]

Had a platonic friend (who had asked for more and been told no pretty firmly) insist on being my date to senior ball. He had been my date to my junior prom so I finally gave in and thought it would be ok. Huge mistake. He was completely obnoxious during dinner-you could tell nobody was enjoying his company-he spilled his drink and then claimed mine for himself, and then he threw a dinner role across the room. It was awful and a definite friendship killer. I told him how humiliated I was by his behavior and he blamed me for “hinting” that I wanted to ask him when I told him I was planning to go stag. I didn’t speak to him for over ten years when he suddenly friended me on Facebook. I accepted out of curiosity. First thing he says to me is that if I get upset with him again I should just ghost him. Seriously, dude? You think we’re picking up where we left off? You think that’s the best way to reconnect?

My theory, after personal experience dealing with them, is that most truly don’t “mean to hurt” their significant other - they’re just too selfish or immature to think about what their partner would experience. They don’t have the capacity for that empathy, or they delude themselves into an alternate reality where they’ll never be found out or their partner secretly wants an open relationship etc. Some don’t even think about the consequences, and some just “ostrich” and hope the consequences never come. I’m sure there are some malicious cheaters out there, but the ones I’ve dealt with primarily seem to be centered in their own needs, wants, and reality.

They went on another date, and the last update just stated that we were going to love what happened; but we never actually found out what it was as there weren't any more updates.

[@Felix_hobi]

Yea he’s definitely WAY to insecure. At first I was like "that’s kinda mean" talking about the wife, but that is so normal for girlfriends (women who are friends) to talk about their bf and husband’s performance. The guy is insanely insecure and needs help. Also that is something you can fix and should definitely talk about as partners, if your not satisfied then talk about it

[@ericacevedo5366]

Okay yes but if you’ve been having sex for 5 years and never told your partner about it, and you hear it from one of her friends who just so happens to be one of his best friends, I can see why he got upset. That is private and there should’ve been a conversation about it, but not canceling the engagement altogether

It sounds like he has feelings for his fiancé’s friend. He was looking for a reason to leave Amy. And he’s more embarrassed about it because his fiancé Amy told Haylee (the girl he actually wants to be with) about their sex lives.

[@skye7067]

the guy who called off his engagement and uprooted his entire life is WILD because the way he described what kylie told him, it wasn't even that she was actively complaining about their sex life. it sounded like, like the guy, the friends were wheedling for her to say anything bad about him, like "come on, he's GOT to have some kind of flaw" and she settled for "well i guess he's not the best at sex but we ball because i love him for everything" like ??? be serious

[@cottontail5109]

It seems like the whole time she never said it as a serious complaint and she was always joking. I mean I guess it could've been one of those not-really-a-joke jokes, but damn, to leave after a pretty small mistake your partner made? I can't imagine

[@Just1Nora]

And Jesus sex is not the entirety of a relationship! Guys...real talk...at some point in her life, your girl, has had better and/or bigger than you. It might have a motor and a nickname and live in her nightstand, but the same way she's not always gonna tug it just right, sometimes y'all aren't focused on the right things. THAT'S FINE. Totally normal! But dropping a nuke on your life and running away to another state because, perhaps, you're too focused on you getting off vs both of you feeling satisfied, is not what a sane person does! I was expecting Kylie to be after him the way he was so focused on her. To say, "Tell me something so I can change! I swear I won't get upset!" and harass them about it until they say something minor (that is fixable btw), and then immediately get so bent out of shape that not only do you destroy your relationship, but also check out of the whole state, is like an 8 yr old kicking over the sandcastle and running home crying because he's not "winning."

[@anoudegozaruna]

For the ice-throwing dude, I may have watched too many rom-coms, but it felt to me like he was trying to make her jealous. He may have liked her as more than a friend, but didn’t want to make the first move until he knew how she felt, so he concocted all these situations to force a reaction out of her. He didn’t contact her after she flew all the way to his city ‘cause he wanted HER to contact him first. And when she finally did, he roped another girl into his scheme to make her jealous that his attention wasn’t on her. Then I think he kept prolonging the situation ‘cause he wasn’t getting the response from her that he wanted. And when she went home without any further interactions, he was probably too embarrassed to admit that he got “rejected” by her, so he just decided to cut her off completely.

[@GeekProdigyGuy]

[@nicoledlugopolski4621]

@@syafiq271thats the whole deal. their relationship wasnt stable enough to have open conversations about their sex life. that means they probably also hadnt had any conversations setting boundaries about what is appropriate to share with friends. so when she found herself frustrated and didnt feel comfortable going to her partner (probably because she knew he would have an adverse reaction and wanted to avoid that) she resorted to talking to her friends as a way to vent because she had no one else to go to. they were obviously lacking in communication if he was constantly feeling the need to get info from her friends rather than from his partner directly.

For the story about the guy with the ice-cubes: I think that with the rise in awareness of gaslighting (which is, of course, a good thing to be aware of) we have forgotten it's grandaddy, the og (on the internet at least) toxic "get anyone you want to fall for you" sleezy move: negging. For anyone needing a refresher, negging is a "strategy" that was mainly popularized by "pick-up artists" in the mid~late 2000s to early 2010s, and consisted of basically mixing gaslighting with as much physical harassment as you could manage to get away with. It's a truly disgusting practice that has so many weird and absolutely gross methods for men to use on people they are...interested in, be that complete strangers or those they know, and I think that's exactly what that guy was doing. Having his friend visit but then inviting this other girl and only paying attention to her and not his friend who traveled for him, but still buying her drinks and giving minimal acknowledgement whenever she seemed fed up with his treatment, and then escalating to throwing stuff at her every so often to see how much sh!t she would tolerate....yeah, that sounds EXACTLY like negging to me. What an absolute POS that guy.

[@amandabriscoe6578]

Had a senior (I was a sophomore at the time) constantly harassing me when we would see one another (we were both in marching band and had some of the same friends). I finally had enough one day at lunch and went off on him. "What the hell is your problem? What have I ever done to you?" I learned later he liked me. I laugh at how mature I thought I was back then (I'm 43 now) but I said something to our mutual friends about how we aren't elementary school kids. If he liked me, he should have just told me. The stupidest thing? The year before I had a major crush on him. But then he acted like such a jerk to me, it was almost instant dislike.

That's not what negging or gaslighting are. Negging is making negative comments or backhanded compliments to attack the self esteem of someone. Gaslighting is when you try to make someone doubt their own reasoning or memory by misrepresenting past events.

@@Stellaacee This! Totally valid for him to not like her talking about it. They both don't seem to communicate well where their boundaries are.

The adult thing is communicating that you felt really bad about her saying that and talking about where both of you draw the line on that issue. If she continues doing it, yes, really a-holeish.

[@Best_Stressed]

My theory on the weird visit story: dude was interested when the visit/flight/etc was arranged. In between, the romantic possibility with this other woman opened up, and he wanted to pursue that too. But he also didn’t want to just own up to the OP about what had happened because he was maybe thinking they could still hook up if he finessed things right - or maybe if things didn’t work out with local girl. So he tried to bluff it out without telling either of the women, and in doing so, royally screwed up his relationship with OP and probably freaked out local girl as well, which is why he called OP weird and blocked her. Local Girl was probably watching over his shoulder.

[@shannonfallon668]

Honestly, this makes the most sense of any comment I've seen so far. My best guess was also that he had initially been interested in having OP visit but then changed his mind and was being distant as a result of that. I just couldn't figure out why!

[@shelbybabcock8779]

My thought is that he was high as a kite. They both were, I bet. The giggling with each other and throwing things screams “high” to me. Would also kinda fit with your theory too. Maybe he got high because he was anxious about everything, overdid it, and thus made an idiot of himself.

[@emileemx]
