From the laptop post:

quote:

Hi, everyone! I just wanted to say thank you so much for the perspectives, advice, comments and inbox messages. It's all extremely appreciated and gave me some much-needed clarity.

To those saying he might have done it on purpose, I won't lie and say it didn't cross my mind; I don't have any proof of it, so I won't outright accuse him, but it's definitely been considered.

To those asking if he typically shows controlling behavior in other aspects of the relationship, the answer is...maybe? He definitely has a bit of a "gatekeeping" mentality about some topics, assuming he knows best. For instance, the other day he held up a hand and said "this would just bore you" while talking to our mutual friend about bitcoin, despite the fact that I work in finance and happen to be extremely interested in discussing it on a deep level.

Anyway, I'm writing this out on my phone since my new laptop, the same Macbook model that he broke, won't be arriving until tomorrow. I paid for it myself and his behavior when he finds out will likely dictate the fate of the relationship. The point where it became clear he wanted to talk AT me instead of having a conversation was the point I stopped being interested in listening.

I know it's a little petty, but I dipped into my rainy day fund. I didn't buy one Macbook. I bought two. One will be for me and my use, and the other I'll be donating to the center where I work with a low-income foster children after-school program. I figure if I have some free time coming up (cough cough, if I may be single in the near future) I might as well spend some of it doing volunteering. Maybe hosting computer literacy sessions, showing the teens in the program how to use academic databases and put resumes together. Maybe just giving them something nice to play around with.

Thank you again to everyone who left something here and helped me see sense.

Edit: I've also decided that if he's willing to talk about this rationally and is still set on buying a PC, he can buy one and also donate it to the after-school program. That way, the kids will have a variety of options to use, he's putting his money somewhere that matters to me, and I still get to use my Mac.

I mean I don't think he's crying because he's afraid of getting pied, he's crying because of some kind of reaction.

I cannot get pied by any means possible because the pies they throw at me cause an allergic reaction of some sort. I’m not gonna go into detail, but generally, I don’t go to sleep that night because I cry Throughout the night.

Can’t this guy just not open his door? He didn’t say they were breaking in or anything. If the pie-throwing kids knock on your door just don’t open it. But then he wouldn’t have an excuse to shoot them I guess.

The latter. Didn't he call them pupkins or something?

If you have a fantasy about shooting people with an "airsoft" its usually best to assume you've got a real gun and are unhinged as hell.

"allergic reaction of some sort"

I know that it's probably a legitimate allergic reaction but I'm choosing to believe he means that his eyes water after getting hit with a pie.

actually, that won't be necessary.
I hope the kids throwing pies at that guy (also a kid? somebody said 17) KNOW he has a weird reaction and are specifically targeting him.

Also that the weird reaction isn’t allergic at all but just that thing somebody else maybe said where he’s up all night weeping in terror, knowing tomorrow will bring another pie to the face.

What sort of allergy could possibly be triggered by getting pied? Aren't they like 99% whip cream (the sort people waste on throwing) ? A skin-contact lactose allergy?

I take it back. I mean, my hope for the scenario I described is still there, but I’d be more amused if the OP commented that he does, in fact, have a skin-contact lactose allergy.

They could be mixing something into the whip cream, like dish soap or bleach.

I'm thinking a custard pie would have egg in o it. I'd they are straight whipped cream then I'm not sure it is possible.
