Woman who isn't well-adjusted gets into relationship with a jealous, probably abusive shitlord. Tracks for me.

I tried to picture what kind of guy would both use "cuckold" unironically and also be willing to Facetime a grown rear end adult to sleep on most nights and I came up with someone with significant self-esteem issues as well.

The guy I made up in my mind in order to be mad at, is someone who, despite being a dipshit has lucked into finding someone stupid and/or unwell enough to have a relationship with and is now stuck in a relationship he is not really ready for and doesn't really want or enjoy, but feels compelled to go through the motions because he thinks or knows he won't be able to do better.

AITA For not sharing my Limb Loss Lump Sum with my mom and sister?

quote:

About 3 months ago I got an accident at work where the tip of my ring finger got amputated getting caught in the seam of a delivery truck. I received a lump sum of a little over 12.5k. Nothing too crazy. My mom now expects me to give her and my sister 1k each.. Really for no reason. I tell her that this little bit of money is literally a compensation for me for literally losing a permanent piece of my body. I've had the money for 3 days now and everytime we talk on the phone she sounds sad and mopey like something is wrong. I don't owe them anything an I feel like it's so selfish that they think they're entitled to this little bit of money.. And i an rear end in a top hat for considering saying no to her?

When my dad died and I got his pension my grandmother on his side literally gave me a list of stuff she wanted me to buy her, everything from a new Rascal scooter to the newest iPad. She'd message me on Facebook every few months to remind me that she didn't have much time left to live and strongly hint that I should buy her those things before time ran out. She lived for 10 more years after that lol.

Some pertinent info : She used his $40k death benefit to pay for his funeral, no way in hell did it cost the entire 40k. Also I hadn't spoken to my dad in years, and I hadn't spoken to her for decades because she cut all contact from me when I was 8 for not writing a long enough thank you card for a birthday gift lmao

hawowanlawow posted:

Ugh! I feel like I know this guy.

My girlfriend and I lived with her best friend for several years. Together we'd go on trips all the time, and we'd often end up on beaches where people would be nude/topless (we don't live in the US). Between that, and just general living together, I had seen her naked a lot.

One day she gets a boyfriend who is a big macho dude. He is very threatened by the fact that I live with his girlfriend, and when she wasn't around he'd ask me weird questions about completely dumb stuff. He straight out asked me if I hosed her, and when I told him no he just gave me a sarcastic look and said "Suuuuuuuure...." and then went on to imply that I must be gay, because I didn't blow up my life cheating on my girlfriend with her best friend in the same loving house.

He'd then ask all sorts of other questions in order to 'prove' that I must have done something with his girlfriend in the years before they even met.
"Did you ever fall asleep on the couch at the same time?"
"You stayed at her parent's house, when you visited her family? You all slept in the SAME ROOM?"


One night we're all at a bar together playing foosball. She is wearing some low-cut top and everytime I am on the opposite side of the table the boyfriend keeps insinuating that I'm trying to glance at her tits. I keep telling him I'm trying to focus on the stupid drunken foosball game and to leave me the hell alone. He then insists that I would do ANYTHING for a chance at seeing her naked, until I finally snap and shout at him that I don't need to sneak a glance down her shirt, I've seen her naked hundreds of times over the years and I don't need to get into a fight to catch a split second glance of sideboob.

He swings a punch at me and I dodge and he hits some random guy in the back of the head and then gets into a big fight with this dude he never met and gets us all thrown out of the bar after smashing a whole shelf of bottles. I am not a ninja who can dodge punches, he was just that belligerently drunk that I think he still might have hit the other guy even if I stood still.

They're married with kids nowadays.

Gave my (20f) boyfriend(20m) an ultimatum and he didnt chose me

quote:

We have been togheter for 4 years now, I never really liked his childhood friend Amelia because she is that kind of friend who is always out of line. Whenever I had a problem with Amelia saying/doing/posting something he told me I was crazy for thinking that Amelia was out of line. I dropped the issue since I really thought I was overreacting.Turns out a friend of Amelia got a girlfriend, and the girlfriend didn't like the way Amelia acts with her bf, basically the same issues as me.
When we were talking over the phone we had a conversation about what happened with amelia and the other friend, and I started questioning if I was really overreacting I had an issue with her, because how is it possible that 2 people had the exact same issue with her. I told my bf that I am not crazy about Amelia as he said and that he should set boundaries with her and take a step back on the friendship with her (temporary) or he could take a step back in our relationship. He said I was being unfair and that he didn't want to loose Amelia's friendship but he didn't want to breakup. I told him that response was enough for me and hung up. We have not talked since.
So I guess that he is my ex bf now
I dont know how to feel or how to proceed for the next days, I feel hurt and sad. I have been with him for 4 years and he couldn't decide between a friend he sees once a month and just hangs out with or me who he sees frequently and knows him and helped him through his issues.
I guess I am just asking how to get over this breakup because I really thought he was the one, how do I make the sadness go away?

Yeah, sometimes it takes a bit for the comments to stabilize to a sensible equilibrium. Sometimes it's just lovely Reddit it's getting their first before a critical mass is reached. Sometimes it :decorum: poisoning. A lot of redditors seem particularly bad at comprehending nuances of human interaction and rely on a couple bright line rules that can never be crossed. For example redditors go ballistic of snooping through phones regardless of context. Or "you can never out someone even if they're sexually harassing you" is another one I've seen pop up in the initial wave of reactions.

This tiny 4'11" woman just disappeared under the water so I reached down, grabbed her as hard as I could, and started pulling backwards while my ex tried to help. During this Sara lost her top but neither of us even noticed, she was coughing and had obviously swallowed water, we just wanted to drag her further from the surf. Well Todd saw she was topless and lost his loving mind, awkwardly trying to push me while screaming but his feet kept getting stuck in the sand as the water was going in and out. Meanwhile Sara is literally vomiting water and now people are starting to crowd around as Todd keeps repeating "I KNEW YOU WANTED TO gently caress HER" even though I just met the guy for the first time an hour ago. He finally ended up getting arrested for punching the lifeguard in the side of the head when the guy tried to put a towel around Sara's shoulders. I honestly can't remember what happened to him after that.

So today is my 30th birthday (woooooo) and my boyfriend of 2 years revealed my birthday gift, a brand new fresh tattoo on his hip, my name with flower petals around it, I was honestly angry about this, both of us have tattoos so it's not the fact he got ink that is whatever, but my name...I have no idea why he'd do this without consulting me and making sure i'm ok with it, i've always thought name tattoos (excluding your children) are tacky at best and at worst look like you've been branded. He doesn't understand why i'm unhappy and people are telling me to just accept the romantic gesture for what it is, but I just can't believe he'd get something permanent like this done without checking...

AITA for telling my friend that we're not throwing her a second bachelorette?

quote:

My friend "Lucy" got married in late 2019. I was one of the bridesmaids, with another good friend of ours serving as MOH. There were 4 other bridesmaids as well. Early on, Lucy told us she wanted to do a girls weekend getaway for her bachelorette. At first she picked an affordable getaway but then changed her mind and picked another spot, for a longer period of time. It was going to cost a lot of money to attend, not to mention fell during a time some had to work. The MOH and I managed to get the money and take time off work, the rest of the bridal party said that it was either take off time and spend money on the trip or the wedding. Lucy agreed obviously the wedding was more important and just the three of us went on her bachelorette. We had a really fun time but my friend did keep saying she wished everyone else was there. Understandable.

Other important factors: we all spent a decent amount of money to attend this wedding. Lucy lives in a different state than most of her bridal party, only one bridesmaid was local to her. We were spending money on flights, Air B&Bs, the dresses, hair, nails, makeup, gifts for her, etc. Not to mention, all of us took time off work. And I don't regret it, it was a super fun wedding and I'm glad I was there to support my friend.

Shortly after she returned from her honeymoon, Lucy started hinting at a "redo" for her bachelorette stating that it sucked not everyone came. We all said we didn't have the money or the PTO at the moment. Myself and the other bridesmaids-in private-at various points agreed we really had no desire to throw her a second bachelorette. The topic was dropped for a bit when everything happened around the world, but occasionally, Lucy would bring up that we needed to have that bachelorette once everything cooled down. We all just ignored it.

Things are doing better now, all of us are completely vac'd. This time, the MOH ended up contacting us, wanting to set up a second bachelorette. All of us were honest, most of us are recovering financially from the past couple of years (two girls lost their jobs, my husband lost his so I was the sole breadwinner for awhile, we're just now recovering from all of that) and given how much we already spent on the wedding, it's just not practical for us to throw her a second. We said maybe we could all have a smaller reunion in 2022 but nothing like she desires (she wanted us to go back to the same expensive spot). I guess MOH reported this to Lucy, who shared she was really disappointed that she didn't get a "proper bachelorette" even though she's been married now for 2 years. I told her that she was being a little greedy. She had a fabulous wedding, bachelorette party, bridal shower and engagement celebration (not all of us attended all events, but they were still thrown). At this point, we don't owe her another lavish trip.

She and the MOH are upset with us, saying we're making Lucy out to be a burden. AITA?

I kinda take the view that what's actually going on is that these people are just constantly looking for a confrontation of some sort because threatening violence and 'winning' is the only way they feel can validate their existence.

The threat isn't the 'move on woman', the threat in both stories is that some other man just became the hero of their story and they can't stand that.
