i spent 18 years in loveless non-relationships with my near family, and I would have ended up okay if i didn't get sucked into a long-term relationship with a psychopath which turned out to be a horrific rabbit hole, so i'd wager I'm at least emotionally 5 years ahead of you.

My [23f] new bf [27m] of 3 months is either a disney character, crazy, or a liar.

Theres no non-awkward way to say this, my bf has an eagle living at his house. The first time I went over he warned me not to freak out because it might be inside the house when we walked in. I thought he was joking because people don't really own birds like that, but he told me it was real and he doesn't really own it, that it comes and goes as it pleases and is more of a "friend".

He leaves the window open all the time because it likes to come inside. He's not worried about people breaking in because he lives out in the country and the bird is very territorial. He said he's trained it to not mess up his house or go to the bathroom inside.

I think he's freaking nuts. The bird is huge, like 3 feet tall, and he has to use gloves to handle it because it's claws are sharp. I think it's incredibly dangerous, but he said he's been "friends" with the bird since he was 10. That he just started feeding it one day and it would hang around him. His parents tried to get it to go away but it lived on their roof, eventually they just accepted it.

The bird makes me very uncomfortable. When I'm over at his place it just sort of stares at me, my bf says it's ok because it can tell he likes me. That it's no more dangerous than a dog. He jokingly said "if it wanted to attack you, it would have already", which did NOT help.

The whole thing just seems so weird, I feel like he has to be lying about something. His parents tell the same story he does though. At the very least it seems crazy to keep the bird around, or to let it in the house. Am I over-reacting? Is this a deal breaker or should I just learn to deal with it? My bf is great otherwise.

tl;dr: My bf has an eagle as a "friend" and let's it come into the house. Is this dangerous? Is this crazy or a deal breaker?

What is it that you are convinced that he's lying about? You saw the bird.

I feel dumb writing this but here we go. My husband got really into this really app where you play pool with strangers but you can also add friends and play them. He was playing it all the time so I thought I'd download it and we could play together, which we did, every day for the few months I've had the app. I really only have this app to play with him and eventually our housemate/friend downloaded it too so we can all play together when we're home and have "tournaments." For reference, I have played 300 games ever. 200 of those were against my husband, and another couple dozen were against our housemate. In the three months I've been playing, I've played against strangers ~75 times because 1) I don't really care for gambling, fake money or not, and playing my husband feels like we're just betting our own money back and forth and 2) I don't really enjoy playing strangers, I get stressed out because I am not very good so it's just throwing coins away. I strictly have this game to play with my husband, who will play throughout the day and has logged about 1,000 games. If he stopped playing I'd delete the app without a second thought.

We have very different strategies. He regularly gets to a point where he has a lot of coins, bets, and loses them all. I have never played a stranger for higher than 100 of my own coins, with maybe 5 exceptions. Today I reached the most coins I've ever had after winning one of those five exceptions and getting 2,500 coins. This is so stupid as I'm writing it but basically I just save my coins and don't find it thrilling to bet them all because there's a high chance I'll lose unless the other person really fucks up. I like opening the app and seeing I have a bunch of coins, and I only play my husband for 50-100 coins unless I'm feeling lucky and bet 500. This doesn't bother me because again, it just feels like I'm sharing coins with him and I'm having fun.

I REGULARLY mention that I am getting free coins/playing low-stakes because I don't want to lose all my coins. I've been playing three months and I only had 14,000 coins because I consistently bet low, and lose more than half the time. My husband said he would play a game for me so I told him not to bet more than 500 coins. I said this multiple times but he didn't respond. I played a game on his phone for 100 coins and won immediately because the other player quit, and I look over and see he's bet my entire fake-wallet. I asked him what the hell he thought he was doing and he just laughed and said, "Winning you more coins!" I walked away and he said, "Don't you want to watch me win twice as many coins as you've ever had?!" to which I said no. I came back a few minutes later and he was up on the other player by four balls, with just the 8 ball left. He missed the shot and what a surprise the other dude won in one turn. My husband laughed, said "Sometimes you just get unlucky! It's fake money, not a big deal!" But...it's not unlucky when you ask someone not to bet above a certain amount and they bet 28x that much and lose. That's not based on luck, that was a decision he made to potentially lose all the coins I've earned, fake or not. I feel really dumb being this upset and I'm clearly not going to divorce him or anything lol, this is just really out of character and I don't know how to express how upset I am...I feel disrespected and that this was inconsiderate. I was really proud of my fake money because I am bad at this game and it was proof I don't lose every time. I feel so stupid being upset about this but I couldn't even form words. I just said I didn't want to spend anymore time together tonight and walked away. This is going to be so silly to most but like I said, this is really out of character for him and this is basically the biggest issue we've had in our relationship in 4 years... Am I overreacting, or is it okay to feel like this was kinda hosed up?

tl;dr: My husband likes to make and gamble away lots of fake internet coins. I do not. I told him he could play a game for me but not to exceed 500 coins. He bet my entire wallet, 14,000 coins, and lost. Doesn't understand why I'm upset because it's just a game. Am I overreacting or not?

One time I was dating a guy who insisted I eat green bell peppers on a pizza, some trash pizza from like Little Caesar's or something. I don't normally eat pizza to begin with, but if it's offered I will. However, this had green pepper on it, literally one of the only foods I find inedible. I like natto, century eggs, fart-smell-cheese, and hell, I was even fine with the infamous hakarl. But green bell peppers taste like something terrible has gone all wrong and it's not a food. Red bell peppers taste good. Orange are good. Green are poo poo garbage from hell planet and they ruin everything and their rotten, festering stank invades everything they touch. So anyway, he kept saying to me, "They're not hot, Pick " and I was like "I know they are not hot. I am not worried about hotness and often eat spicy foods. I object to the flavor." And he was like, "Just try it!" and I was like "I have tried green bell peppers many times and do not like them, I asked you to order a pizza without them." And he was like "But they're not hot! You just think they're hot so you won't eat it!" And I was like, "No, it is the flavor I dislike. Similarly, if I objected to eating a tomato on account of its flavor, it would not make sense to point out that a tomato is not spicy. I know a tomato is not spicy. It is a matter of the flavor of the tomato." And then he called to his roommate and was like, "Ha ha, can you believe it, she said she likes spicy food but she can't eat green bell peppers! They're not even spicy!"

Once, on a first date, a man told me he was addicted to porn. Awkward, right? What's worse is that I thought he said he was addicted to corn so then he had to clarify, making it even more awkward.

u/cruelestjoak
Neither of us wants a baby right now. We just got married last October after 3 years of dating, and since we only want 1 child we're planning to wait a few years (we know the risks).

For whatever reason, though, she thought it would be a funny April Fool's joke, but what made it so bad was that she did it on the 3rd instead of the 1st so I might believe it was real. She went through this whole elaborate setup and eventually convinced me she was really pregnant.

I could have reacted better to the news. I was pretty bummed to say the least and said some very negative things which I'm sort of ashamed of now. That was actually what ended the "joke". She got so upset that she broke character and really let me have it for not being supportive and understanding.

I see her point in a way, but I think it's unfair for her to get mad at me. 1) Part of the reason I reacted poorly was because this was a surprised for me since we have been on birth control and actively trying to avoid a pregnancy, so it was a surprise. 2) I was upset because I felt blindsided. I didn't have a chance to really think about it. She really played it up to the point where it created that reaction, which is what she wanted. 3) I don't know how she can be mad when this is what she wanted. She wanted to freak me out as a "joke". How can it be my fault when she achieves that end.

She seems to think I owe her an apology for some reason, but even though I know it is a minor thing to do for the sake of peace, I can't bring myself to apologize when I know I didn't do anything wrong. It feels wrong, and I think she's the one who owes me an apology. Joke or not, I think what she did was very inappropriate, but she thinks I'm overreacting a bit.

Who is right, and who is wrong?

tl;dr: My wife told me she was pregnant as a joke. I reacted poorly and that upset her. She thinks I should apologize and make amends for being "unsupportive", but I think she's the one who owes me an apology for playing a cruel joke and messing with my head the way she did. Who is right and who is wrong?
