My (21m) girlfriend (20f) of 2 years had an absolute meltdown when she didn't get what she wanted for her birthday, however her parents did a pretty cruel prank to get her there. Does context allow me to overlook the meltdown?

she should have given them an irish goodbye

Fun-time is over.
Prank parents could *just about* maybe deserve eventual forgiveness if they genuinely thought she'd take it in good fun and were utterly mortified when she got genuinely upset, and offered to make good and actually send her AND it wasn't the culmination of what it sounds like is a pattern of behaviour. As it stands in the doubling down and continuing to laugh at her suffering they're like characters from one of the less charitable British sitcoms or Always Sunny or some poo poo and should be treated with nothing but scorn.

"Prank" seems to have been redefined as "cruel but completely feasible lie I laugh at you for believing"

come one, come all, come and see the man without a spine!


My[M25] girlfriend[24] of 1.5 years broke up with me to be with my roommate[M25]. I just heard them through the wall.


quote:

As the title says, we broke up. It was about 6 months ago and it was semi-amicable. We broke up because she was developing feelings for my roommate. Admittedly they are more compatible and he's an upgraded version of me, so I can see why it happened.

This isn't an evil thing, both asked my permission to start dating and don't do any PDA while I'm around. I still both consider them friends and I just want them to be happy.

For the most part, they are quiet at night. If I really listen I can hear whats going on, but they generally save it for when they are alone. Except for last night. We went out to the bar for his birthday and they got pretty drunk. I was the DD because I don't really drink. Anyway, last night we got home at close to 2am and all went to bed. I made sure they both got into bed, put water, advil, and buckets out just in case. I then put sleeping bags out for the other people and did the same. As I was brushing my teeth my ex walked in, hugged me and said she was sorry. She thanked me for always begin so nice and she promised to help me find a new girlfriend when I was ready. When I finally got to bed I could head muffled talking, mostly about how great the night was. Then it got quiet and then it started.

I don't know how long it lasted, but it was louder than normal. I've been okay with the break up until now, I'm glad they're happy but last night I fell asleep crying.

I woke up this morning, made breakfast for everyone and started to clean up.

Feel free to ignore this, I just needed to get this off my chest. I'm sad when I really think about the situation, but that's why I try not to.

TL;DR: My ex and roommate are sleeping together and they were loud last night.

My wife (29) and I (27) are having issues on how to handle pre-marriage money

quote:

u/throwawayownerocc
My wife and I have been married for about a year, we've started the transition into combining finances.

Right now we split all of the bills 50/50 and are both contributing $2500 per month into our savings account as we aggressively save for a house.

The plan is to buy a home next Spring, in a high cost of living area, and we will have saved together about $150k for the downpayment.

I have deposited all of the money I had saved from before we had met and were married into our joint account (about $50k) but she is reluctant to do so. She said that she wants to have her own money on the side. She has about $30k on the side that she does not want to contribute.

Am I wrong for being insulted here? We're comfortable financially but obviously the $30k would go a long way in the purchase of a home, renovations, extra savings, etc. Now it makes me want to pull out some of the money I've contributed and have my own little side fund too which seems unhealthy.

Is there another perspective to this than me just viewing this as selfish?

TL;DR - Wife wants to keep money she's saved on the side, and not contribute it towards communal funds

You ideally should both have non-comingled reserves in case one of you gets your assets frozen or otherwise stolen.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to have her own money reserve, maybe you guys should have talked this out before you moved all your cash into that account? Not a hard solution though, just talk about it and decide how much you want to keep in a personal savings and then move some of your money out, she moves some in...boom.

This is assuming of course that you're both sane people and not complete morons, soooo good luck.

Slashing tires is amateur hour level man. Take a small stone and put it in their valve stem cap, and let the air leak out over days/weeks. They'll air their tires up, and screw the same valve stem over right back on, over and over again.

My mother's go-to was putting things in people's cars. You know how the bottom of the seat usually has a little shelf of mechanics? Just jam a dead crab up in there, it'll take them forever to find it. That, or one of those big jars of spiders you can buy, and you just empty it out in the car.

is tire slashing a thing? I could have sworn if you puncture a tire it would explode and at best scare the poo poo outta ya at worst hurt you bad. Or is that just if you jam in the side :confused:

anyways tire slashing is amateur hour, the best forms of revenge are ones where they can't sic the law on you - like carefully reading the county building code and generating massive fines or something.

It's a thing and the air rushing out of the tire isn't dangerous unless you allow it to move the knife in a way that it hits you. I recommend using some thick work gloves and a reasonably heavy knife with a sharp point :eng101:

no what i'm saying is can't the tire lose pressure or whatever explosively rather than gushing out? could have sworn i read this somewhere, iirc might have only applied to stabbing sidewell

i might be thinking of trucker tires.

If you puncture it usually the air will simply come out the hole but apparently it can happen. A pro move though is to just make a really small incision that will bleed out slowly

Blue Ruin opens with the main character trying to use a scalpel or X-ACTO knife to slash the tires of a limousine, and the air rushing out knocks it out of his hand and badly cuts him.

Blue Ruin is a really good movie, by the way. It's the spiritual predecessor to Green Room if you've seen that. Realistic deconstruction of a revenge film where the protagonist is a completely unskilled chubby dude with poor social skills who's completely unprepared for the consequences.
