I'd like to open this post with an apology. As a member of the male gender, I recognize that my views posses an intrinsic quality of bias that renders them largely invalid. I want to get the opinions of others, preferably females (obviously), as I am having emotional difficulty continuing in my relationship.
It all started with a little fiscal irresponsibility on my part. I am the breadwinner of the duo, working three parttime jobs to support us. I give my girlfriend roughly a third of my income, which she told me she needs to improve our apartment and for her personal use. The rest goes towards rent and living expenditures. My work schedule is demanding, leaving me solid from 6(AM)-11(PM) on all weekdays excluding Friday and Sunday. Well, one week she burned through her payment and tried to (unsuccessfully) access my bank account. She was infuriated, and I did what I could to appease her.
This culminated in her articulating disfavor towards me sleeping in our shared bed. Since she only sleeps over on Fridays, I had no reservations migrating to the couch. She assures me that all the boys in her shared apartment do the same for their girlfriends and I'm frankly in no position to be incredulous. I'm a little peeved that she forces me to make the bed and I don't like the occasional pools of vomit and trails of vaginal excreta that I'm sure she tries her best to contain.
We decided early on that it was an open relationship. I don't have the time to see other women, but am grateful for the opportunity to sow my girlfriend's happiness. As I've learned from my studies, women are naturally entitled to polyamory and should not be constrained by the patriarchal institution of monogamy.
Our weekly Relationship Affirmation sessions took a violent turn. What started with critical exegesis of radical feminist literature has evolved into something, I fear to admit, I don't care for. Every Friday night from 6-11 pm, my girlfriend beats the shit out of me. She's careful to avoid injury, but I can feel my physical condition declining. These sessions hurt me, Reddit, and I don't know how much longer I can explain away the perpetual bruises and pulsating nodules. I confronted her about this and she suggested that we only hit the already bruised tracts of skin, so people think it's a genetic condition. I never could have envisioned such a masterful relationship saving flourish and thanked her for her intellectual might.
I value our relationship highly, and regard most of these concessions as fair. However, I was recently asked to do something I don't know if I can physically complete. She wants me to consume her bowel movements. She's begun to defecate into plastic cartons and leave them in our refrigerator with my name plastered boldly across appended post-it notes. She says it would be financially irresponsible for me to waste nutrients, and I sort of agree with this reasoning given our position. I don't want to disappoint her, but I don't think I can do it.
tl;dr Girlfriend has a few demands, but I don't know if I can meet them.
Reddit, I don't know what to do. With ineffable meekness I ask you to summon forth your bosom for a trickle of the endless wisdom.
