Reddit, how did you get your birth name?

When my dad was in the Boy Scouts, he had a friend who had a sister named "Michael" and since then he wanted to name his daughter that. I am his daughter (yes, daughter). My mom keeps joking that I should tell the story that I'm named after an ex-girlfriend of his.

My parents did not expect or want a boy. At the same rate, I don't have a "if I were born a boy" name story :(

As an employee, I haven't heard anything about the company expanding to CO.

In-N-Out is located in California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and now Texas. All locations are within a day's drive of the processing plant so they can maintain freshness and quality. As far as grilled onions with the food trucks, I don't think that's true but at the company picnic, the trucks also include hot dogs with chili and the grilled onion. Fries are definitely not available.

"Did your parents want a boy?"

As a girl named Michael, it almost NEVER fails. ಠ_ಠ

Yeah, in your case, it is absolutely ridiculous that he accuses you of cheating when you really don't feel like having sex. That is absolutely douche behavior and you don't deserve that. If he can't work on his insecurities and even with you being completely truthful, the trust issues may, in fact, be the nail in the coffin. In my experience, it's just too hard to work out those things unless you're both dedicated to and actively working on them.

I'm aware, and I responded to an appropriate comment, sharing my experience and feelings about forcing oneself to have sex with a significant other. Also see scummie50's comment.

My situation was he never complained about not having sex, but I didn't want to do that to him, so I made an effort to either initiate it once in a while, even if I didn't feel up to it and also to say yes if he initiated it. It wasn't a constant occurrence, but when sex is down to nothing, those are the kind of measures I felt were necessary to avoid having the relationship completely turn to shit.

I don't know the situation with your boyfriend, so I can't comment. But for example, I'd imagine if I had a guy who wanted it often enough and was almost always angry or upset if I ever turned him down, but I went along with it anyways, I'd be resentful.

It really comes down to what's going on in that particular relationship. You're allowed to not want to have sex and I will never say turning your guy down is wrong. It just so happens, I felt my relationship needed more sex and so I had to make it happen since it wasn't coming so naturally anymore.

All of the back & forth really gave me a headache and kind of confused me. Especially on your part on all the chickening out and excuses.

He lied, you flaked, you haven't been real FRIENDS since all these shenanigans started. There's no valid reason for you to stay in touch with him except for the fact that you have history, as weird and messed up as it is. Either cut him out or put up with the awkward small talk, but don't ever get back into it with him again and make that blatantly clear.

I was dealing with a low libido for a while and would force myself to have sex with my ex because it was happening so infrequently and I wanted to make him happy and to feel good. I couldn't figure out exactly why I didn't have the desire to have sex (depression, stress, natural waning from a relationship slowly going bad...) but once I got into it, it was fine from there on out.

So, I advocate forcing yourself to have sex when you don't feel like it sometimes.

As much as I love the institute and experience of higher learning, I just hate the thought of being stuck in school for SO MANY YEARS before I'm able to really do what I'm aiming to do. The goal line keeps getting moved further and further away as time goes by and that's what pisses me off. Although, I can also see it as the bar being set higher and higher and that's not at all a bad thing. :P

This goes for either gender. What I've conceded, however, if a guy's doing it, they're likely rejecting you until they're drunk and horny and then they'll get in touch.

It's the modern day version of the email FWD claiming that for every person it's forwarded to, a donation will be made. At least they could actually keep track of "likes" on Facebook...

But the stupid... it hurts.

Why do you taunt me like this? *gurgle*

badhabits_diehard · 3 months

You're not his priority and that is not something you deserve. Please don't sell yourself short and move on. Don't settle for someone who might eventually come around. I sincerely doubt he will since they're still very much in each others' lives. Good luck.

Truth. I just recently met my first grower. The magnums on his desk made more sense after that...

This and the comments totally puts me off trying it. Not that I was super close to doing so, anyway, but the thought had crossed my mind, ya know? Meh.

TheSquiggleface · 3 months

Apparently kids were doing this 10 years ago when I was 15, except there was no easy access outlet for them to reveal it. I was one of those naive, dumb kids who had NO clue what was going on though, let alone doing any of those things. I was so uncool ಠ_ಠ

I would end up doing the majority of the cleaning. I think the main things that fell to the ex were taking out the trash & cleaning the litter box (mainly because I requested him to do so constantly). He'd go on a miniature cleaning frenzy, but rarely. I'd do the dishes, clean the bathrooms & kitchen, vacuum, a majority of the laundry... Yeah. I gave in because he worked full time and I'm part-time.

Cheating. Regardless of the situation, it wasn't worth putting my ex through what I did. Nobody ever deserves it. And I'm pretty sure that anyone who hasn't cheated on anyone ever who knows about my cheating, lost that much respect for me, as well.
