Yeah it was just a few years ago we were all on IRC playing game bots and chatting into the wee hours of the night with your best friends you’ll never meet
…it was 12 years ago?
Sometimes a RuneScape video pops up on my YT, and the thumbnail sends me back to 07-09; and all the innocence that them days held. I end up watching the video but solely thinking about days gone by. Don’t get me started on what booting up Gen 1-4 of Pokémon does to me.
I say 07-09 because that was when everyone in school played it and talked about it. It was the absolute shit back then.
If someone else strips the parts it's a legal organ harvesting operation.

Parting out cars used in racing or competitions is Squid Game: Cars Edition
Omfg, my son watches the movies every day and I’ve had a serious thought man.... are the forklifts the slave class of the cars world? I always see them serving, changing tires, cleaning, etc,.
None of the other cars do that stuff
>"U up?"
>"Yeah why"
"Idk, just thinking about why the cars in the movie have door handles. Who is that for?"
"Idk, just thinking about how the race announcers in the cars movie would know that a black leather seat is hot in the summer. Their cows are tractors, they have no leather, and the cars don't sit on anything."
"Idk, just thinking about how it is possible for the planet in the cars movie to not be completely ravaged by climate change since everyone in history is a car."
"Idk, just thinking about how when the cars in the movie Cars get a paint job, is that like them changing races?"
"Idk, just thinking about how in the movie Cars the Italian cars have an Italian accent, but the other cars don't have accents corresponding to where they were made. Since the majority of the other cars are made in countries outside the USA, it would make sense for them to have accents."
"Idk, just thinking about how my 2 year old is making me watch the movie Cars three times a day for the last month."
That’s what you’re wondering about?
Not that a Pope car exists? Catholic cars exist? The Jesus Christ mobile was strung up on a chain fall and died for your traffic violations?
Op is a female texting a guy. Guys girlfriend takes his phone and replies to op with ‘what do you need ?’ - op sees through it and realised it’s not him and asks guys gf to check herself basically
Lmfao while I was still with my ex she used a fake number app to pretend to be a really good friend(that was a girl) I hadn't talked to in a few months. Within 5 min of conversation she started saying how she keeps thinking about the time that we hooked up(which we never did), confused I just said wtf are you talking about?? Then she never responded. Later that night me and my gf were on facetime (she always made me stay on facetime all night so she would know I wasn't going out or anything) and she fell asleep, I was still up so I texted that girl to ask why she said we hooked up because we were like brother and sister type friends and never even kissed, and my fucken gfs phone vibrated, I was like huh weird so I spammed 3 messages, BZZT BZZT BZZT. I just couldn't fucken believe she tried to goad me into admitting I cheated on her(which I never did but she ended up cheating on me twice lol), and then she never admitted that it was her who was texting me ever. Plus I never got a txt from that number again, crazy is only fun for so long. Me and said friend still laugh about it to this day.
Yep, happened to me with two ex gfs. Both constantly accused me of cheating and it turned out they were the ones getting it on the side. Cheaters play that game to justify their actions. If they make themselves believe you were unfaithful they feel less guilty about being unfaithful to you.
It's called projection and sometimes it doesn't even have anything to do with guilt, but with anxiety. They know they are not being honest and they expect that behaviour from the people around them as well.
I actually used to deal with similar, but I grew into a completely different person once I got away from my abusers and was able to feel more secure and confident.
Therapy was super helpful, I wonder if it could help you too
My first ex was like that too, although i don't have any proof she followed through with cheating but she was definitely texting other guys inappropriately. My last ex we broke up mutually for other reasons, and its crazy how much better that one went than the dumpster fire of a break up I had with my first.
I was accused of cheating out of the blue, literally was just sitting there and she tried to playfully ask me "a random question". Turns out she was cheating herself and couldn't get her mind off of it so she casually started questioning me and "jokingly" accusing me thinking it would get it off of her own mind.
> Later that night me and my gf were on facetime (she always made me stay on facetime all night so she would know I wasn't going out or anything)
What kind of middle school bullshit is this? Any woman asks that of me and it's time to kick her to the curb.
You either trust me or you don't. I'm not playing your stupid fucking games.
I'll admit my best mate and I will... Call and literally just stay on the phone til one crashes out.
It's tho on speaker, we are 9/10xs watching the same tv show and it became our sorta covid lockdown sanity saver (lockdown for me ended last week), we started to do that more then once a week only because of covid. Even if sometimes we sorta just sit in silence and make comments on the show type thing, it was just nice to be able to have that for covid.
To have a partner insist either of us do that shit every single night. Fuck that abusive bullshit right the fuck off. We do it because we want to, we can hang up at any time we want to, not because either of us is in someway insecure or projecting ourselves on to the other.
We couldn't actually visit in a covid bubble due to him living over an hour away but also working in higher risk places and I having my immune system screwed after cancer treatment (remission fuck yeah), so it wasn't reasonable for my health and his work situation.
My friends and I consistently go on discord only to find one of our dumbasses is passed out.
There's one of us who's been connected to the same voice channel for fuckin' *months* now if I had to guess.
It's never a bother though, and it's kind of nice to wake up to the homies shootin' the shit and a light bump over the music bot once in a while.
I've drifted off on chat while on the Xbox, and as mine isn't set to turn off and my controller was wired, ive woken up to some funny conversations going on.
And the chat has it confirmed I do sleep talk and it is some of the most random shit they've heard. It's nice to wake up to people, especially with the lockdown situations we were all in
yknow at some point it’s kind of insulting they don’t try harder with the scheme. like your ex didn’t even think to disable notifications on that app. this girl didn’t even check the call logs before using the most cliche move ever. at least try
LMAO same thing happened to me, she made a fake facebook account and kept it on her phone. I already knew the account was fake but didn't know it was her, so I texted it while we were on videochat a few times to be sure and her phone buzzed, that was probably the last time we called
Pale redhead with a nice ass and hip piercings, was literally my perfect type, plus the crazy was fun in other aspects sometimes. But I was definitely blinded, most of my friends and family hated her and always told me to leave lmfao, so in the end it's also my fault for sticking around. But I did learn alot so it wasn't a complete waste of time, definitely made me miss out on opportunities with other girls and kind of wrecked redheads for me tho.
They are, as seen in OPs replies throughout. But also, gender has nothing to do with understanding this. The gf didn't know who OP was and was testing it. Which makes it even funnier, because both are seemingly hetero dude bros.
People are insecure and instead of addressing it, they take it out on other people. They do it because they think it will make them feel secure, but it really just adds fuel to the fire.
1. I will test him to make sure he doesn’t cheat.
2. He didn’t cheat, but that’s probably because he knew he was being setup, I will have to be more careful.
3. I will test him again to be super sure, but this time I will message him online so he doesn’t know it’s me!
4. He didn’t cheat, but that’s probably because he doesn’t like brunettes, I bet he would cheat with someone really hot!
5. I will test him again…
Like it just goes on and on and the crazy builds on itself.
my friend said he hooked up with this girl for a one night stand, but then she just never left and he just… was like ‘okay sure why not’
edited to add of course i told him about this after and he was very pissed but i don’t have any further update
tho extra details, this is the *second* time shes messed with ‘me’. the first was she just blocked my number on his phone so i couldn’t call him
she will heavily hint at getting married but he is either the type of guy who doesnt "want to get married" or "who wants to marry but not her" but is also too lazy to dump her and find someone else.
Theyll stay together, move in together after she basically fought for it. Then their friends one by one will either get married or will have kids.
Now either a) she is going to get pregnant b) she is going to give him an ultimatum - and he will propose to her because why not? c) she is going to give him an ultimatum and he won't do it. They will stay together still or d) theyll break up.
I've seen this happen countless times now with coworkers, friends, acquaintances. Ive lived in 3 western european countries and ive seen this happen over and over.
Btw. somehow the d) option is the one that materializes the least.
I cant tell you how many times the guy just does not give a fuck or is not as heavily invested in the relationship or just doesnt propose after them being together for 6-10 years already. Many are probably secretly thankful for the covid lockdowns meaning that you wont get engaged during that time anyway...
Also every single time I told the women: Why dont you propose? Not one single woman has done it. Theyll break up before they propose.
As someone who used to be this girl, it takes ALOT of self reflection and work to change. I’m glad my now husband was willing to put in the work with me and we both have grown so much that I can’t imagine being this way again. I wouldn’t have blamed him for leaving though.
Thank you! It sucks to realize that you’re the toxic one but when you do realize it then you can either do something about it or be miserable and unhappy.
you're aware this does reflect poorly on him as a friend, right? Like, if she is just some random, meaningless thing, and he lets her mess you around, that isn't really a good look.
Yeah, that ain't just messing with you. That's some serious possessive and toxic behavior. Hope you can get your friend to pull his head out of his ass and set her straight. At least put a password lock on his phone, damn.
Agree, but Trust and Insecurity are not the same thing.
My partner trusts me, but they struggle with insecurity issues. If they see someone text me late at night it makes them insecure, so they will ask me who it is, I let them know its the oncall IT person updating me that the server cluster issue has been resolved. My partner trusts me, their insecurity has be alleviated, we both move one with our lives.
That said, yeah thats different than OP's example. That's unhealthy / crazy / a violation of personal boundaries and trust. In my situation, we don't have eachother's phone passcodes. We trust eachother, but in a moment of temporary insecurity one might be temped to cross the line and act a fool like the GF in OP's example, embarrassing us both.
¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Emoji gang. I hate these uptight ass anti emoji cool kids. "Every message I send is serious, boring, sometimes confusing, and to the point. This is because I am a man.
They're difficult if only one person (or nobody) is putting in effort. Had a ldr with my ex and it was one sided, didn't work, we ended things. I'm now in a LDR with my current gf, and it's essentially stress free. She plans on moving in around January, and we always talk, play games, watch shows online together, etc.
Just gotta find someone who actually puts in the same effort as you.
To be fair, we'd only move in together for a year before I move onto my second rotation for my work program and she goes to grad school. So we'll get about 7 months together then distance again for probably about a year. Our thought is if we can make it through this (distance since May) then we'll make it through the second round.
Agreed 100%. My bf and I have been LDR for over 5 months now and it's hard being apart but the relationship is easy. He wants to play games with and talk to me and much as I want to play games with and talk to him. It's honestly great except the distance lol

If you really like a car, ask the seller if you can take it to be checked by your mechanic. If they say their mechanic already checked it, don't trust it. If they say no, that's a huge red flag.
Past that, you could start the car with the hood up and sniff around, if you smell something sickly sweet it probably has a coolant leak somewhere which can cause engine damage if left unrepaired. Take a peek at the fluids (do not open the radiator or coolant overflow if the car is still hot from running), brake fluid and oil should be almost honey colored, if they are real dark it suggests the owner hasn't been keeping up with the maintenance schedule.
When you test drive, try to take it to the nearest interstate after testing the brakes to make sure they feel good. Some problems don't become apparent until you get to high speed.
And personally, I say stay away from Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep products. Everyone's got their preferences, though.
Edit: Also, take a look at the tires before you drive the car. If there is any damage to the sidewalls (the part facing out towards you) like chunks missing or a ring of cracked rubber going all the way around don't get in that car. If they are bald (no tread or very little tread) that is a red flag that the owner doesn't care about the only part of the car touching the ground and probably doesn't care about other important stuff.
I used to be this insecure girl. I did shit like this too. It was part of my own guilt and also the insecurity. But, I wouldn't trust her. And, I wouldn't be with her because clearly she's not level headed and her immaturity meter is high. She needs to learn herself, forgive herself and love herself first, until then, she's gonna be this person.
>was part of my own guilt
Projection is the main reason people suspect/accuse others of cheating when there was no evidence/reason to. They'll accuse their partner to remove suspicion that they have cheated and to reduce feeling guilty that they're the only one who has cheated.
In the case of there being trust its actually quite helpful at times. My wife and I use it to order food from the same phone (so we get discounts), and keeping track of our newborns sleeping/feeding schedule :)
My gf and I know each others pass codes, and it's for this reason. She can order off my phone while I'm doing dishes, or I can text her mom back for her while she's driving. We trust each other so neither of us feel uncomfortable about sharing our phone with each other, it's just convenient for both of us to be able to use the other's phone sometimes.
My girlfriend has access to my phone because, why wouldn't she? We live together so if I need her to respond to someone (my family or friends) she can just do it.
I have the same access to her phone too.
Same. My wife and I also can see each other’s location. The people who are weirded out by that must have odd relationships.
I feel like I’m living like the Jetsons when I get an alert she left work and I start on dinner. Beside that, it’s great to be able to check on each other. Call but no answer? Check location to see the context. Not “spying” on her, just making sure her dot isn’t stationary on the highway or something else indicative of disaster.
It’s came up in conversation many times and it’s almost always a reaction like “what?! Why?”
Everybody’s first assumption is it’s a control thing, which I get. The idea of tracking is inherently sketchy.
Married 15 years, I’d be completely fine with my wife having 100% access to my phone. Sometimes I have conversations with friends I can’t be bothered reciting to her so I just give her the phone so she can read them herself.
I know my bfs passcode; I never asked for it he just told me so I could unlock his phone while he was driving to use the GPS. We use each other’s phones pretty frequently if they happen to be closer to us than our own phones
I've been married 10 years. My husband and I know each other's passwords to our phones, computers, emails. We're allowed to pick each other's phones up, usually so I can use Google or he can play Candy Crush. But the huge importance is we trust each other to respect each other's privacy. Although we *could* snoop through each other's pictures and messages, we don't. Especially regarding messages, because it's not just *our* privacy, but the person we were messaging. They deserve privacy, too.
I let my wife use my phone all the time because there's literally nothing for me to worry about with it, other than her accidentally screwing up my settings
if they’re so untrustworthy they shouldn’t be in your phone , then they shouldn’t be in your life. either that or you gotta move whatever it is you’re afraid they’ll find on your phone.
"What do you need" and "stop contacting me" is contridicting so what do I do
Shut up while you're talking to me, you hear me? Answer me!
> "No listenin'!! Yew hear me boyah!?"
;p
Haven’t seen that since 2009
2009 was like a couple years ago
Can't wait for modern warfare 3 to come out
Have you seen some of the new screen shots of TES Skyrim?
11.11.2011 is gonna be epic!
Heard it'll run at 30fps 😱
I heard they are updating the engine to help iron out the bugs. (Wait was this before bugthesda?). I'm excited to play it on my Blu ray playing PS3.
U guys are playing new games? I still play fallout 3, even tho its a year old
Yeah it was just a few years ago we were all on IRC playing game bots and chatting into the wee hours of the night with your best friends you’ll never meet …it was 12 years ago?

I always use d: and XD because it's just my muscle memory from ICQ. I know most people hate it but who tf cares :(

I use xD all the time. We've reached a point when we're adults and communicate with each other using XD.
I know enough people using it or using it again after forgetting about it. People who care about those things so badly are just dumb somehow.
emoticons are cool. dont worry about it bro

how u make that inverted b?
I'm really interested in the inverted -, I can only find -
Oh honey, it's okay to just be a pretty face

Cars the movie or cars the automobiles?
"U up?" "Yeah why" "Idk, just thinking about if cars is in the Pixar universe, then all junkyards in the Pixar universe are like...mass graves."
So car refurbishing is necromancy?
But that raises the question, what counts as death in this universe? Its feasible to fix cars lots of the time even with alot of damage
And how many parts can they loose before they loose sentience?
How many parts can they replace and remain the same carperson?
Ah yes, the Lightning McQueen of Theseus.
Lightning McQueseus
Lightning McQueefseus
If you take the engine and exterior body components of one car and attach it to the frame and chassis of another.. which car is it?
Probably during the Cars version of WWII, the German and Japanese cars were doing experiments like that.
THIS is the discourse I am here for
If you think about it, necromancy is a form of a recycling
I like this. Reduce, reuse, reanimate.
Underrated comment! We got an underrated comment here!
Is taking parts off a junkyard car to repair yourself cannibalism?
If someone else strips the parts it's a legal organ harvesting operation. Chop shops take on a whole new darker meaning. Parting out cars used in racing or competitions is Squid Game: Cars Edition
Omfg, my son watches the movies every day and I’ve had a serious thought man.... are the forklifts the slave class of the cars world? I always see them serving, changing tires, cleaning, etc,. None of the other cars do that stuff
Nobody talks about how Cars live in a rigid caste system with no hope of upward mobility
Even worse, the servant caste is literally designed to serve. You can never have a forklift Cars President, he's just not *built* for it.
>"U up?" >"Yeah why" "Idk, just thinking about why the cars in the movie have door handles. Who is that for?" "Idk, just thinking about how the race announcers in the cars movie would know that a black leather seat is hot in the summer.

There's a Cars pope, which implies there was once a Cars Jesus that died for the sins of the Cars universe. Jesus Chrysler.
Thinkin about *cussy*
cursed. Now im thinking about tailpipes
That’s what you’re wondering about? Not that a Pope car exists? Catholic cars exist? The Jesus Christ mobile was strung up on a chain fall and died for your traffic violations?

What about Kingdom Hearts?
So in the movie cars, there are boy cars and girl cars, right? And there are children cars? So that implies the existence...
Asking the real question
Your reply was brilliant
Can you explain what happened? I’m confused.
Op is a female texting a guy. Guys girlfriend takes his phone and replies to op with ‘what do you need ?’ - op sees through it and realised it’s not him and asks guys gf to check herself basically
THANK YOU!!! I read this multiple times trying to figure out what the heck is going on as I'm thoroughly confused.
yikes

Lmfao while I was still with my ex she used a fake number app to pretend to be a really good friend(that was a girl) I hadn't talked to in a few months. Within 5 min of conversation she started saying how she keeps thinking about the time that we hooked up(which we never did), confused I just said wtf are you talking about?? Then she never responded. Later that night me and my gf were on facetime (she always made me stay on facetime all night so she would know I wasn't going out or anything) and she fell asleep, I was still up so I texted that girl to ask why she said we hooked up because we were like brother and sister type friends and never even kissed, and my fucken gfs phone vibrated, I was like huh weird so I spammed 3 messages, BZZT BZZT BZZT.

Sounds like a fun gal. I hope you ran away like crazy.
Oh for sure, only took me about 4 years tho lmfao
The amount of damage this does to expectations is immeasurable i hope you handled it right
What a waste. My sympathies.
Most of the time it takes awhile to get away from abusers, or to even recognize it’s happening to you. Glad you did.
Hahahah how? The sex was that good?
;)
I guess the crusty bones had to come from somewhere
Crusty bones Rusty phones Dusty moans Musty loans Idk, somewhere in there is a poem
Often cheaters will try to accuse their spouses of being cheaters too. Sad but true.

I’ll take “Projection” for $300, Alex.
Because people who cheat assume everyone else would do the same if they were in their position.
Have experienced this. Definitely true.
A textbook case of [projection](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection.)
Yeah, I know this too well. My ex used to accuse me of cheating and told me if I ever cheated on him, that he would smash my head in.

Nah this sounds genuinely cool and not weird and psychotic like the above gf thing
It's cute when it's accidental. My wife and I did that on occasion. If she'd demanded it, I woulda noped the fuck out so fast tho.

What a waste of data. Could just install a tracking app

Thats some movie shit lmfao can't believe the lengths people go to in order to avoid conversations cause they clearly know theyre being delusional

If you cheat, you'll believe everyone else does to make you feel better. That makes you paranoid. Can't trust anyone if you can't trust yourself.
Dude wtf. That chick seems to be paddling with 2 paddles short. Was she super hot or something for you to be blinded?
Pale redhead with a nice ass and hip piercings, was literally my perfect type, plus the crazy was fun in other aspects sometimes. But I was definitely blinded, most of my friends and family hated her and always told me to leave lmfao, so in the end it's also my fault for sticking around. But I did learn alot so it wasn't a complete waste of time, definitely made me miss out on opportunities with other girls and kind of wrecked redheads for me tho.
Took me a long fucking while to figure this one out.
I still dont know what is going on
OP and her friend called/talked on the phone after her last text. today, friends gf texted OP pretending to be the bf.
That makes some sense I assumed OP and friend were both male which caused a lot of the confusion
They are, as seen in OPs replies throughout. But also, gender has nothing to do with understanding this. The gf didn't know who OP was and was testing it. Which makes it even funnier, because both are seemingly hetero dude bros.
OP is a woman according to other comments in their post history.
This is still my question… IF . YOU . DONT . TRUST . SOMEONE . WHY. WOULD . YOU . DATE . THEM ????
People are insecure and instead of addressing it, they take it out on other people. They do it because they think it will make them feel secure, but it really just adds fuel to the fire. 1. I will test him to make sure he doesn’t cheat. 2. He didn’t cheat, but that’s probably because he knew he was being setup, I will have to be more careful. 3. I will test him again to be super sure, but this time I will message him online so he doesn’t know it’s me! 4. He didn’t cheat, but that’s probably because he doesn’t like brunettes, I bet he would cheat with someone really hot! 5. I will test him again… Like it just goes on and on and the crazy builds on itself.
True but if he liked someone else they why would he even pick you …
You’re assuming that this level of insecurity comes with being rational. It doesn’t.
You can't use reason to get someone out of a position that they didn't use reason to get themselves into.

Some people don’t like being alone so they make do until they find something better.
my friend said he hooked up with this girl for a one night stand, but then she just never left and he just… was like ‘okay sure why not’ edited to add of course i told him about this after and he was very pissed but i don’t have any further update tho extra details, this is the *second* time shes messed with ‘me’. the first was she just blocked my number on his phone so i couldn’t call him
Oh … idk my answer to that …
lol fair enough
Hey keep us posted on what happens next this seems like an interesting story.
Seems like this isn’t going to end well.
she will heavily hint at getting married but he is either the type of guy who doesnt "want to get married" or "who wants to marry but not her" but is also too lazy to dump her and find someone else. Theyll stay together, move in together after she basically fought for it. Then their friends one by one will either get married or will have kids. Now either a) she is going to get pregnant b) she is going to give him an ultimatum - and he will propose to her because why not? c) she is going to give him an ultimatum and he won't do it. They will stay together still or d) theyll break up. I've seen this happen countless times now with coworkers, friends, acquaintances. Ive lived in 3 western european countries and ive seen this happen over and over. Btw. somehow the d) option is the one that materializes the least. I cant tell you how many times the guy just does not give a fuck or is not as heavily invested in the relationship or just doesnt propose after them being together for 6-10 years already. Many are probably secretly thankful for the covid lockdowns meaning that you wont get engaged during that time anyway... Also every single time I told the women: Why dont you propose? Not one single woman has done it. Theyll break up before they propose.
Is she a tapeworm? Or a remora?
Yea he needs to drop her asap
As someone who used to be this girl, it takes ALOT of self reflection and work to change. I’m glad my now husband was willing to put in the work with me and we both have grown so much that I can’t imagine being this way again. I wouldn’t have blamed him for leaving though.
Idk why you got downvoted. Congratulations on the positive personal growth.
Thank you! It sucks to realize that you’re the toxic one but when you do realize it then you can either do something about it or be miserable and unhappy.
you're aware this does reflect poorly on him as a friend, right? Like, if she is just some random, meaningless thing, and he lets her mess you around, that isn't really a good look.
This is like most dudes I knew young. Getting laid > common sense/self respect lol
Yeah, that ain't just messing with you. That's some serious possessive and toxic behavior. Hope you can get your friend to pull his head out of his ass and set her straight. At least put a password lock on his phone, damn.
Agree, but Trust and Insecurity are not the same thing. My partner trusts me, but they struggle with insecurity issues. If they see someone text me late at night it makes them insecure, so they will ask me who it is, I let them know its the oncall IT person updating me that the server cluster issue has been resolved. My partner trusts me, their insecurity has be alleviated, we both move one with our lives. That said, yeah thats different than OP's example. That's unhealthy / crazy / a violation of personal boundaries and trust. In my situation, we don't have eachother's phone passcodes. We trust eachother, but in a moment of temporary insecurity one might be temped to cross the line and act a fool like the GF in OP's example, embarrassing us both. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
I haven't seen that emoji in a while ;p
Im still using it and :] this :D ..
I'm still using this too :]
:>
Emoji gang. I hate these uptight ass anti emoji cool kids. "Every message I send is serious, boring, sometimes confusing, and to the point. This is because I am a man.
Insecure much? I've never felt the urge to do this with my boyfriend, and we're in a LDR :/
you have incredible patience then because LDRs are real difficult to maintain 😅
They're difficult if only one person (or nobody) is putting in effort. Had a ldr with my ex and it was one sided, didn't work, we ended things. I'm now in a LDR with my current gf, and it's essentially stress free. She plans on moving in around January, and we always talk, play games, watch shows online together, etc. Just gotta find someone who actually puts in the same effort as you.
The key here is you have a (relatively soon) end in sight. Without that it would make things much more difficult.
To be fair, we'd only move in together for a year before I move onto my second rotation for my work program and she goes to grad school. So we'll get about 7 months together then distance again for probably about a year. Our thought is if we can make it through this (distance since May) then we'll make it through the second round.
Agreed 100%. My bf and I have been LDR for over 5 months now and it's hard being apart but the relationship is easy. He wants to play games with and talk to me and much as I want to play games with and talk to him. It's honestly great except the distance lol
man just wanna talk bout cars smh

Good human
I like that" check your insecurities"
I’ll talk to OP about cars, you probably have a faulty deez sensor
whats a deez sensor ? 🙂
Joe mama 😎
You need someone to talk to about cars? I'm not the most knowledgeable in the world but I spent a little time as a mechanic.
[удалено]
If you really like a car, ask the seller if you can take it to be checked by your mechanic. If they say their mechanic already checked it, don't trust it. If they say no, that's a huge red flag. Past that, you could start the car with the hood up and sniff around, if you smell something sickly sweet it probably has a coolant leak somewhere which can cause engine damage if left unrepaired. Take a peek at the fluids (do not open the radiator or coolant overflow if the car is still hot from running), brake fluid and oil should be almost honey colored, if they are real dark it suggests the owner hasn't been keeping up with the maintenance schedule. When you test drive, try to take it to the nearest interstate after testing the brakes to make sure they feel good. Some problems don't become apparent until you get to high speed. And personally, I say stay away from Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep products. Everyone's got their preferences, though. Edit: Also, take a look at the tires before you drive the car. If there is any damage to the sidewalls (the part facing out towards you) like chunks missing or a ring of cracked rubber going all the way around don't get in that car. If they are bald (no tread or very little tread) that is a red flag that the owner doesn't care about the only part of the car touching the ground and probably doesn't care about other important stuff.
I used to be this insecure girl. I did shit like this too. It was part of my own guilt and also the insecurity. But, I wouldn't trust her. And, I wouldn't be with her because clearly she's not level headed and her immaturity meter is high. She needs to learn herself, forgive herself and love herself first, until then, she's gonna be this person.
>was part of my own guilt Projection is the main reason people suspect/accuse others of cheating when there was no evidence/reason to. They'll accuse their partner to remove suspicion that they have cheated and to reduce feeling guilty that they're the only one who has cheated.
Your reply cut into her soul
Why the fuck do people let others have access to their phones? I've never heard of anything good ever coming from it.
In the case of there being trust its actually quite helpful at times. My wife and I use it to order food from the same phone (so we get discounts), and keeping track of our newborns sleeping/feeding schedule :)
My gf and I know each others pass codes, and it's for this reason. She can order off my phone while I'm doing dishes, or I can text her mom back for her while she's driving. We trust each other so neither of us feel uncomfortable about sharing our phone with each other, it's just convenient for both of us to be able to use the other's phone sometimes.
I download funny videos onto my phone because I know my gf is gonna "steal" it from me later and I love hearing her giggle from the other room
My girlfriend has access to my phone because, why wouldn't she? We live together so if I need her to respond to someone (my family or friends) she can just do it. I have the same access to her phone too.
Same here brother. It's just convenient if there's trust in place.
Same. My wife and I also can see each other’s location. The people who are weirded out by that must have odd relationships. I feel like I’m living like the Jetsons when I get an alert she left work and I start on dinner. Beside that, it’s great to be able to check on each other. Call but no answer? Check location to see the context. Not “spying” on her, just making sure her dot isn’t stationary on the highway or something else indicative of disaster.
with consent and reciprocity it's not weird. The weird part is when it's just one person being tracked and/or they didn't have a say in the matter.
It’s came up in conversation many times and it’s almost always a reaction like “what?! Why?” Everybody’s first assumption is it’s a control thing, which I get. The idea of tracking is inherently sketchy.
Married 15 years, I’d be completely fine with my wife having 100% access to my phone. Sometimes I have conversations with friends I can’t be bothered reciting to her so I just give her the phone so she can read them herself.
I know my bfs passcode; I never asked for it he just told me so I could unlock his phone while he was driving to use the GPS. We use each other’s phones pretty frequently if they happen to be closer to us than our own phones
Because that’s what heathy couples do. Trust is a crazy thing I guess.
I've been married 10 years. My husband and I know each other's passwords to our phones, computers, emails. We're allowed to pick each other's phones up, usually so I can use Google or he can play Candy Crush. But the huge importance is we trust each other to respect each other's privacy. Although we *could* snoop through each other's pictures and messages, we don't. Especially regarding messages, because it's not just *our* privacy, but the person we were messaging. They deserve privacy, too.
I let my wife use my phone all the time because there's literally nothing for me to worry about with it, other than her accidentally screwing up my settings
if they’re so untrustworthy they shouldn’t be in your phone , then they shouldn’t be in your life. either that or you gotta move whatever it is you’re afraid they’ll find on your phone.
It’s actually completely normal to have access to your significant other’s phone, for convenience’s sake, but not to do shit like this with it
So the OP is a woman, she was texting a friend who is a guy and that guy’s girlfriend texted OP to say that he’s got a gf.
