Using a throwaway account as some of my colleagues are here. Edit: please say something, don't just upvote. I want someone to say something to me so I could go to sleep. I had my candidacy today and because my research hasn't been going well, I was anxious. For those who do not know, a candidacy is basically part of an evaluation process in which a Ph.D. candidate is supposed to give a presentation to his jury. This jury decides if the candidate is doing well enough and whether he/she should be allowed to continue. Pretty standard process across the globe. I do not remember me being this nervous before. So, I had my presentation ready, which was supposed to be 40 minutes. To get rid of this anxiety, I took some pills that "loosely speaking" brings me into relaxation mode. I took two of them and that too without any breakfast. This was the first time I took two of them at once on empty stomach. These made me super calm and I almost forgot all my worries. One of tho...

I am unsure if this is a TIFU or a LWIFUBSIMAETWCIACT (Last Week I Fucked Up By Setting In Motion An Event That Would Culminate In A Conclusion Today), but today was the problem day. Last week I purchased an adult toy for myself. One of those automatic masturbators, the one that mechanically moves a toy up and down to do the thing. I got the missed delivery card, and popped by after work the following day, excited to have a Christmas long weekend to enjoy the fruits of my $400 purchase. When I arrived at the post office to collect, a very cute girl at the counter suggested I should meet her by the rear entrance where large packages are dropped off. It shouldn't have been that large, but I went around. I soon found out why. She was a little red in the face when she said that the packaging my item was in was poor, and had mostly fallen away to reveal an (she stuttered) "item of.. adult nature." I immediately went white as a ghost as she handed me the box. A very thin c...

I’ve been asking my GF to go fully bald down there for a while she refuses, saying it will hurt too much and she doesn’t fancy it. She does get waxed though into a strip (sorry can’t remember what all the names are) so I couldn’t imagine it could be much worse. Anyway she agreed as a one off if I got ‘manscaped’. Couldn’t really refuse so I did it. It hurt like hell!!!! OMFG!!!! I couldn’t believe it. It was also a woman doing it, not embarrassing at all….. Then GF came back from her appointment, with the same style as normal! Said she decided against it at the last minute. I meanwhile am sore, embarrassed and semi bald! I guess I’m not going to get my way…. TL;DR I got waxed so GF would go fully bare, then she ‘changed her mind’

This story takes place in about 2004 when I was half-way through high school. My step father, John, owned his own hardware store and I was the entitled kid who was forced to work there. I say forced because it wasn't my idea, but my parents decided it would be good to get some easy work experience before I entered the real world. It was a simple "This is where the screw drivers are..." type job, and I got paid minimum wage for 2-3 hours a few days after school and 8 hours one day of the weekend. It was enough that I could easily do my schoolwork and make some extra (legitimate) money on the side. Being an entitled jerk, I hated it and tried everything I could do to entertain myself without doing the work I was assigned. More often than not, friends of mine would come hang out with me while I was working. We'd usually spend most of my 'shift' playing solitaire/minesweeper on the ancient computers (even at that time), use some scrap wood from the custom-cut jo...

Me (24M) and my roommate (23M) are best friends and have lived together the past few years. As a broke college grad, he made an adult content account (you can guess the site) about a year ago. He asked my opinion beforehand, and I thought it was a little weird. But figured, whatever, because it didn’t really impact me. Admittedly, I’ve been curious about his content for the last few months, simply because I’ve been shocked by the amount of money he’s made. Well, I caved and decided to temporarily sub just to see, and was absolutely shocked to see multiple videos characterized as his “roommate’s bedroom.” Surely enough, there he is masturbating in my room on my bed. As far as I can tell, he is not completely naked in my bed, and I assume he is otherwise mindful of keeping it clean. But just the fact that he’s been doing that in my room really grosses me out. There’s also videos of him performing sexual acts in our living room, which is bad enough. But my bed/room really crosses the lin...

I moved in with my husband 4 years ago and his house already had a washer and dryer set. I never bothered to find a manual to read how to use them because how hard can it be? You toss clothes in and then you set it to wash or dry. I tend to do everyone's laundry. I do my husband's because it's a hassle for him to get the clothes to the wash room since he's in a wheelchair and then I have to wash the baby's clothes frequently since we don't have a ton of outfits and they get dirty fast. The real hassle, though, is washing towels and washclothes. Those things take what feels like half a day. An hour in the wash and then three hours on timed dry to get them to where they aren't wet. Timed dry on high only goes up to 1 hour so I have to keep checking on them every hour and it really holds up doing any laundry after them. Just last night I was looking at the dryer settings and realized I didn't know what "heavy duty" as a setting was. Everything ...

So this started a few months ago, but came to a head last night. When my girlfriend [F28] and I [M30] first started dating, I was just coming out of a marriage. As in I had just moved back in with my dad a few weeks prior. Yes, it’s fast, but honestly neither of us were looking for anything serious. I wanted to date around and she was just entering the dating scene after being a single mom for 2 years. We just kinda fell into it and went along for the ride. At the time, though, I told her that I do want to remarry at some point, but not for a few years. Part of that is because my ex and I can’t legally be divorced until we’ve been separated for a year, which will be June 2023. She said she understood. Fast forward. Like I said, we fell into a serious relationship and are really happy together. I love her son and I genuinely do want to marry her. But I still don’t want to remarry for a few more years. Something I forgot to mention is my girlfriend has a whole host of abandonment is...
