That wife knew what was up, and that's probably the most blatant example of "See honey, I wrote Reddit and said I didn't want to gently caress her" I've seen yet.

I kinda feel sorry for Heidi but dear god, what the hell was she thinking with the miscarriage smalltalk?

Best case scenario: extremely stupid, trying and failing utterly to bond

worst case scenario: extremely cruel and actually interested in the husband, trying to hurt her on purpose

But if she was as bad an employee as this post lets on, the wife's call was probably just the last straw.

Always stop to smell the flowers, just in case they're weeds

My girlfriend (22) decided to rate me (22) in comparison to everyone else in the bar, said I was forth.

quote:

Went out a few nights ago, she got drunk but not super drunk. She then decided to rate me in comparison to everyone else in the bar, I thought she was joking but she wasn't. She eventually tells me that I'm forth, I'm fine with my looks and am a confident person but for her to do this really upset me, doesn't matter if I'm first or last, the idea of doing it is messed up.

Not sure if also relevant but she slapped me later on that night after I apparently stared at another girl, she then took the pissed out of my sister who I get on really well with.

Any advice, she's a really insecure person and does this a lot, this is the first time I've seen her drunk also so it's making me worry a bit, we've been going out for 9 months now and are currently in a ldr.

Thanks.

TLDR girlfriend decided to rate me in comparison to the rest of the bar. Really upset about it. Need advice

Edit - thats for all the advice, reading through it now really means some thing. Sorry if my grammar/language is a bit messy, using my tablet to type.

sometimes i wonder if the modern world enables people to have mental illnesses like this and that they were killed/had bigger issues to worry about in the pre-modern world

They became hermits or monks or were shut away in little hidden rooms (if you had the wealth) and never mentioned again, except to the trusted servant that fed them. Either that, or jail, an asylum, exile, trial for heresy...Lots of fun ways to go.

There were still plenty of weirdos with extreme anxiety or whatever that were accepted by their communities for some reason, because Goons are eternal.

All I can think of right now is that one Dave secretary story

SO I'M ON THE BUS FOR SOME GODDAMNED REASON AND I AM LISTENING CAREFULLY TO THE CONVERSATION IN FRONT OF ME, HELD BETWEEN THIS BLOWSY SULKY GIRL WHO IS CLEARLY DOMINATING THE SITUATION AND HER 'BOYFRIEND', A SCRAWNY LOOKING MESS NEAR TEARS. THE FOLLOWING IS ALMOST VERBATIM.

SCRAWNY MESS: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'VE CHEATED ON ME?!

BLOWSY GIRL: I CHEATED ON YOU.

SCRAWNY MESS: (SNIFFLING MISERABLY) BUT.. BUT.. YOU CHEATED ON ME?

BLOWSY GIRL: (ALMOST INDIGNANTLY) YES.

SCRAWNY MESS: (TEARS FORMING) FOR HOW LONG?

BLOWSY GIRL: (WITH A HINT OF SATISFACTION) ABOUT A YEAR.

SCRAWNY MESS: (TEARS WELLING UP) OHHHHH NOOOO.

SCRAWNY MESS PAUSES TO REFLECT. THE BOY IS A VERITABLE DISTILLERY AT THIS POINT AND YOU CAN JUST TELL SOME SORT OF ULTIMATUM IS COMING. HE MASTERS HIS EMOTIONS AND BECOMES VERY STILL. I AM EXPECTING HIM TO GET ALL KUNG FU ON THIS GIRL. INSTEAD HE TURNS TO HER, WIPES THE TEARS FROM HIS EYES AND SAYS "STRIKE ONE, NANCY... STRIKE ONE."

The real story is slightly less insane. She went into labor, it was going to be a while until she actually popped out a baby, so he brought his laptop. He tries to raid from the hospital while he waited and the raid leader slash wow forum mod yelled at him and refused to take him

The idea of "well poo poo I'm gonna be here a couple hours may as well bring my computer so I can play a game or something" isn't completely insane, this is like the least embarrassing wojtek story

I've seen wannabe next things try to drive the wedge by prodding the current partner into embarrassing overreactions. It's a riff raff move, but might be why the wife thought this girl was interested in her husband.

That's a total riff raff move and tbh the girl sounds like she was going for it, you got to shut that poo poo down because men are super bad at telling when a girl's made a beeline for their weeline.
