My [20/F] boyfriend [25/m] told me he doesn’t think of me. Did I over react ?quote:We were on a phone call, I can’t remember what lead to this conversation but we started talking about our daily routines. I told him that sometimes I wonder “what is he doing right now?”. He told me that he doesn’t think of me he just thinks about waking up, going to work and going to sleep or play a game with his friends. I’m hurt for some reason. I’m starting to feel maybe I like him more then he likes me. I don’t know if I’m overreacting but I can’t get over it. Pure honesty, one of the greatest traits a man can possess

StrangersInTheNight posted:Yeh it's not about the costs, it's about the idea that toys are for children and families, and if you don't have either of those then naturally, you should be willing to defer to families and sacrifice these things to those who enjoy play most - children. Lots of people think single adults keeping playthings for themselves is selfish and childish. I guarantee that Switch-asking-mom's defense is that their family will get 'more joy' out of the Switch than a single man would. switch asking mom definitely doesn't actually care about her children getting joy out of it, she just saw the opportunity to be a judgemental inconvenience and took it

Captain Hygiene posted:I think "give me your [x], I need it more than you" is my new favorite genre, I don't remember it being nearly as much of a thing in the older r/r I used to read. Obviously a switch is a huge step down from demanding someone's house or kids, but I'm still just blown away by how many people get angry at someone refusing to just outright give away their own property, as if that demand makes any sort of reasonable sense. I like how in many of these they've already told the kids that the person is giving it to them before demanding/asking for it.

I've met some pretty unreasonable people in my life but most of these stories would have me questioning my sanity if it happened to me. I can't decide if they're all trolls or if the world is just even stupider than I could have ever imagined. Reading this thread over the years I think has somewhat warped my view of humans in general.

Well of course they did since that means the person who actually owns the thing can't say no now because it would make the other person look bad. I like them too because the pure entitlement people have never ceases to amaze me. Just going through life believing being told "no" is worse than the Holocaust. I literally cannot understand it but I love laughing at it.

BF doesn't know me personally so views me as lesser than him and an annoyance, thinking he is all A needs. But we are both equally important, and he needs to understand that. We are two pillars holding up A. Without either of us she would crumble down. quote:
Without me she'll crumble! She's made of decomposed granite! eta: quote:I said this on the date and A smiled because she really liked it but BF didn't and held a straight face.

I really gave it all of my effort. quote:You'll be pleased to know I've got a date this weekend with a girl who is a friend of As so I won't be in the relationship any more.

My(32f) new housemate(27m) keeps leaving the stove on overnight. I don't know what more I can do as no one seems to care.quote:I live in a houseshare with 3 adults. The newest one has only been here 2 weeks. He's left 2 hobs (rings) on the stove on 3 times, twice overnight on high. The third time I went down in the middle of the night and turned them off, or else they would have been left on. That time there was an empty frying pan on top of one of them. My room is directly above the kitchen with all of my electrical equipment above where the stove is. Jesus christ I hope this person broke their lease before the apartment went up in flames

When my grandfather briefly lived with us due to dementia and finding a decent nursing home, he had the habit of trying to cook. By cook I mean putting empty pans on lit burners and wandering away. It wasn't malicious like this 27m moron though. We handled it by removing the knobs as he was took weak in the hands to push in and turn the sticks the knobs would attach to. Too bad the op account is suspended, I don't know if there's an update.

My parents were big tea drinkers and would frequently put the kettle on the stove and then wander off. After ruining kettle after kettle (the whistle would melt the bottom would warp) we finally bought them an electric kettle with auto-shutoff. I like gas stoves for the BTU performance but drat are they fire hazards if you're not paying close attention.

Our kittens kept turning on the stove burners by climbing up on the counter. They don’t light the burners but they’ve definitely turned on the gas. I just removed the knobs and keep them in a bowl next to the stove so I can grab as many as I need. Hide the knobs OP.

Mine learned how to turn off my CPAP machine. It took a lot of effort to retrain him on that one, he regarded any attention as play so it was about not engaging and ignoring him. Turn the machine back on, lie down, don't cuddle or anything, same as when he played too rough. He eventually got the hint.

It sounds like an electric stove, so a possibility may be to install a smart outlet to it so it can be programmed to shut off at night or during working hours? It's a rental unit though so that's probably much more difficult to accomplish than if they had full control over maintenance and upgrades. Get a safe, place the stove knobs in the safe, do not share the combo.

AITA for making my aunt cry and leave the party?quote:I had a girlfriend for many years when I lived in my hometown so she knew a lot of my family.

Yeah, I was dead asleep and girlfriend was still up reading a book before bed. She recognized the click of the stove igniter from the other room, woke me up jumping out of bed and found that they’d managed to turn on the gas but not actually light it. Kittens are definitely trying to kill us. They also defeated the oven keypad child lock by standing on the weird button combo long enough to turn it off. The automated spray can works well tho!

While alcoholics are technically not forbidden from getting transplants for legal reasons, they are rightly put at the bottom of the queue, so in practice will never get them.

AITA for lying to my partner to avoid his hoarded home? quote:I (F31) have been seeing my Partner (M38) for 4 years. He and I are Polyam, and my Partner has another Partner (F38) that he has been married to for 14 years. His partner is a very nice person and while we aren’t best friends, we socialize well when we are together. The issue, is that his wife is a Hoarder. In the 5 years since we have been together, I have been to their house one time, early in the relationship. The cleanliness of the home was way beyond what I can easily handle. Piles of junk, clothes, boxes, etc. Their furniture smelled like the dog had peed on it. Their bathroom appears to never have been cleaned. I made the excuse that I was allergic to his dog, and that the fur made me sneeze too much. (I don’t have an allergy to dogs. I grew out of one as a child.)
