>Not to mention that Google was founded in 1998. Prior to Google there really wasn’t an easy way to search out knowledge, let alone e-commerce being a thing.

Re-read the post. OP is telling Redditors to Google it. He didn't say they Googled it in 1975.

Shit I think i piss myself reading this

Were you all ... avid hikers?

Haaa! Omg! Did you push up on it!?

Need help with what Nathan?

Brilliant lol

Haha I’m a degenerate, but not that much of one! My wife would chop of my balls if I ever did anything like that.

Ok...

She said it was ok for you to touch her breasts? Was there some interaction before that, that lead to that?

Was she trying to normalize the situation as a coping mechanism?

Idk dude, If you started touching her without any form of previous consent, she shouldnt trust you ever again. Being drunk is not a justification.

If... And this is a big IF... you started making out and she was not ready for that kind of touching and she made it clear, that would be just two people getting frisky and finding each others bounderies.

I think you should write to her letting her know what you think happened. What ever she decides to do, you got to live with that.

If it really went as you said and you just started groping her from nothing, you need to work out your shit, man. If you cant trust yourself, drunk or not, you shouldnt be around that girl or any until you learn to control yourself.

Edit: i forgot to say, its a good thing you Stoped when she asked. Dont feel suicidal, take this as a formative experience.

PLEASE look for help If you cant control your depression.

The guy who didn't laugh at "smell it and find out" has no humor in his veins

You need help

In the US, EFTs initiated as a result of an account takeover are explicitly covered under Regulation E. The CFPB has published guidance and made it very clear these types of transactions are covered.

"4. Does an EFT initiated by a fraudster using stolen credentials meet the Regulation E definition of an unauthorized EFT?

Yes. As discussed in Electronic Fund Transfers Error Resolution: Unauthorized EFT Question 1, Regulation E defines an unauthorized EFT as a transfer from a consumer’s account initiated by a person other than the consumer without actual authority to initiate the transfer and from which the consumer receives no benefit. 12 CFR 1005.2(m)."

OP is in Austrailia so this is moot; however, if your experience in the financial industry is in the states, you are confidently incorrect.

However, other scams not involving an account takeover may not fall under the purview of Reg E, such as buying a gift card for the scammer; or, p2p transaction, which the CFPB will likely push consumer friendly guidance for in the next few years.

Nice fiction.

Probably not real

But I think the idea here was that the gift would have been given to op's boyfriend in private but because it was mislabeled they brought it along to the parents house with the rest of them

Again its reddit and nothing is real

"Oh crap, i actually commisioned a lady to wrap them for me, thats the last time i hire somebody off facebook!!"

I was reading this and thought you gonna say „I would’ve done the same with glasses“ kinda disappointed now but I’m happy for your wife and her sister.

That sucks but just tell her to move out and crack in with your if you want the nuke option, id out her to everyone and let them know what happens and how she used you

Just say you gave it to him because he cant have the real thing, as that would be kinda weird.

There you go - no more awkward situation, everyones happy and noone gets offended.

sounds like Stockholm syndrome

Right, who just jumps on TIFU to make a real-time post while freaking out in the bathroom in complete mortification?

“With this crappy new gear”

Why would you almost have sex with her if you aren’t into her? Just tell this girl the truth and move on. Christ

Was there even google 50 years ago?

I don't have trouble sharing, I specifically created this account to share my thoughts and feelings about this because I need to process it somehow right this instant so that I don't do anything to harm myself. To keep it at the very least somewhat short: My parents' marriage and my past relationships left me pretty disfunctional in terms of relationships and love, so now I have intimacy issues and commitment issues. I have become pretty insecure in my ability to find love but at the same time, whenever I do meet a girl who likes me or where I feel like I'd have a chance with her I run from it and avoid confrontation of the topic out of fear to either A) getting into a dysfunctional relationship that would cause harm to either one of us or B) jeopardizing a close friendship for a relationship that might not last, most of the time it's a combination of the two. That makes it pretty difficult for me to find physical or emotional intimacy so now I am somewhat starved for both which is already a problem in the emotional department as it leads to me latching onto people I like for emotional support, regardless of whether I'm romantically interested in them or not. As you can imagine, that leads to a whole other bunch of problems, e.g. the respective girls constantly getting their hopes up because of me sending mixed signals (if she happens to like me). Which is why I now tend to avoid close friendships with girls for the most part, as I do not want to have someone 'on the hook' just for them to get hurt by it over and over again. Which then lead to an even more severe lack of intimacy for me.

This sounds like it was for the best. It's sad but necessary. Onwards and upwards.
