Ahh okay, that's fair. For some reason I imagined the whole contest story described in the note, which doesn't make any sense now that I think about it even a little.

Jesus, shut the gently caress up. I'm allowed to have an opinion without justifying it to your stupid rear end.

I'm sorry you think your bongs are great decorations.

AITA for blowing up at my best friend and boyfriend for manipulating me?


MentalKing posted:

So i've known my best friend for about 6 years, i (28/m) used to be quite popular on instagram (15k followers) and so did my best friend (28/f) (20k followers) for going to metal festivals, i had a large gay fanbase as i'm a gay male myself, she is a very attractive blonde girl so obviously she had a lot of followers too. My friend used to sell her instagram fame to get fans into the VIP sections to meet band members, a bit dodgy but it was sweet to see how excited fans got and they were always grateful.

2 years ago, i deleted my instagram due to it being toxic and i started to get recognised by people in my small home town (some pics were quite explicit).

She kept trying to hitch me up with one of her work friends, after she was adamant that i should meet him, i agreed.

So i went on a date with this guy, he was exactly my type, older, bearded, broad, masculine, owner of several businesses, funny, we instantly hit it off, we had a lot in common and very similar tastes. It was perfect. He asked me if im on instagram and i said i used to be but deleted it then asked me on another date straight after and i excitingly agreed.

For the last 2 years, i've been on cloud 9, loving life with my boyfriend, and i also get to see my best friend often since they're really good friends too. I couldn't be happier.

My boyfriend and I were just laying in bed, talking away and looking at things online to buy to spice up our sex life. I pointed to a leather harness and he said "Oh definitely, i loved seeing you in that harness pic". I was confused as the only harness pic i had was on my old instagram, it was one of my most popular pictures. I asked "what pic?". He quickly back tracked and said it must have been someone else but looked panicked. I asked again what pic he was on about. After a bit of pushing, he finally mentioned that he used to be a fan of my old instagram but my friend told him not to mention it.

I was very confused and upset, ran out and headed straight for my friends house. When i got there, i immediately asked why she told him not to mention he knew my instagram, all she said was "you should ask him about it, it was our deal".

Turns out, he approached my best mate to get in touch with me and she asked him to PAY to get a date with me... I went straight back to my mate and blew up at her. She basically said that i'm blowing this all our of proportion since she found me true love and she doesnt understand why im so angry about it.

I then mentioned this to some other friends and they're all saying that i shouldn't be thinking too much into it as i met the love of my life and i was wrong to blow up at them?!

AITA? I honestly feel like this whole set up thing is messed up and yet everybody is acting like its fine?!

EDIT: I haven't been back to my boyfriends house since, i haven't spoke to my best friend either since she told me to calm down.

Lol, that’s fair. I think it’s trashy to judge people for having glassware visible in their homes because that’s all it is.

Not if they regularly use it to smoke weed out of, which is what they do. Just because you put your Scarface poster in a silver frame doesn't make it not super trashy.

Bar carts are acceptable, assuming it's the 60s and you work at Sterling Cooper.

My aesthetic does not include either alcohol or weed tools; I just don’t get the visceral disgust at all. Trying to understand it. Still feels wildly judgmental from the “let him wear Marvel!” brigade, but whatever.

Well I mean, they also bought a “fake” crack pipe so I thought we were just discussing the general principle,

Visceral disgust? Hyperbolic much? I said I think it's trashy, and i certainly never defended manchildren wearing superhero shirts at 40.

Bongs are not tasteful decor to the majority of people past 25

I didn't think that guy should wear comic book outfits either. If there was a 1-10 meter of lameness I'd put displayed bongs and bar carts at like a 6 and comic book outfits at a 9.

I don't normally display my glassware, but if my mil made a stink over it I'd probably increase my collection to a point where there'd be a bong visible in every room in the house when she visits.

I smoke every day and have a classy looking bong (if there is such a thing) and I still keep it put away when not in use. it's trashy as hell to have your home as an adult look like a head shop, sorry

Interesting. To me, a bong is just another tchotchke, especially if it was a gift. To me, trashy kind of depends on the rationale for something and “this is pretty and pleasant to look at” seems a lot less trashy than “Look i smoke the weed!”

the dudes who display bongs are mostly the same as the dudes who also have an entire shelf or shelves filled with empty alcohol bottles (usually something like skyy vodka or captain morgan) and have a wardrobe consisting of comic book graphic tees, in my experience

Who is getting fancy bongs worth thousands as a gift? You can just admit you really whiffed while trying to defend such behavior.

Okay, so artistic glassware bong singular is different than bongs plural. One bong is the saddest head shop I’ve ever heard of. This all just feels like cultural stigma to me, which is valid. But I just don’t think a single piece of glass on a shelf or whatever is automatically trashy. That’s why I made the bar cart analogy. I think that multiple dirty bongs sounds like the college window bottle collection aesthetic which yes, would be trashy.

AITA for wanting my girlfriend to fart near me?

quote:

I've been having this discussion with my girlfriend for a while now and decided to ask for other perspectives on reddit. Now I believe farting is a very natural thing that everyone tries to hide because it's embarrassing, but I think that if you're really comfortable being around someone, farting is a sign of intimacy. However my girlfriend disagrees with me. She believes that farting near someone means you don't respect them so she absolutely refuses to fart near me to the point of having pain sometimes. I can see how she would be embarrassed by it though because people expect girls not to fart.

She thinks I keep telling her to fart so I can fart freely (which I did mention one time) but I really just want her to stop holding it in and free herself from her troubles. Today she used a separate bathroom just so I wouldn't hear her and honestly I'm a bit hurt.
