Attracted to Monsters, Breastfeeding, and Office Christmas Music: r/OffMyChest Stories

Monster Romance Preferences

• 💡 The original poster (OP) expresses frustration with the lack of monster romance stories featuring a human male protagonist and a monster female.
• 🔍 Searches on Archive of Our Own (AO3) reveal a prevalence of human male/monster female stories, but often with furry elements or trans male readers, which are not OP's preference.
• 🎯 OP notes that many "monster" characters in manga are simply humans with minor alterations and that AI-generated art often features unrealistic proportions.
• 🦖 Specific attractions mentioned include the female Muto from Godzilla (for its "ass" and humanizing moments), the Xenomorph Queen (for its slimy, eyeless appearance), and GLaDOS from Portal (for her robot body and voice).
• 🐛 A bug woman from a story is appealing due to her clinical, scientific breakdown of human biology and culture, and her fetishistic tendencies towards studying humans.

Disturbing Family Incident

• ⚠️ A user recounts witnessing their boyfriend's stepmom breastfeeding her 8-year-old daughter.
• 🤢 The user and their boyfriend were disgusted by the act, especially since the stepmom had previously stated she couldn't breastfeed.
• 🚫 The incident led to the couple deciding to have low contact with the family and not allow them back into their home.

Overcoming Adversity and Workplace Conflict

• 🤝 A user reconnected with a teenage friend who had previously threatened suicide.
• 🎓 The friend is now a college graduate and a psychologist, and the user expresses pride in her overcoming her struggles and finding happiness.
• 🎶 An office conflict arose when a 75-year-old coworker played loud 1930s Christmas music all day without headphones.
• 💥 The OP asked their boss multiple times to address the issue, but was ignored, leading to a confrontation with the coworker and the OP ultimately quitting their job.
• 😔 The OP feels ridiculous about losing their job over Christmas music but emphasizes how the constant noise severely impacted their ability to work and their mental state.
