You should never talk to cops -- let alone having a relationship with them! I hope she learned her lesson and stays safe and gets well

I'm confused by this lovely boyfriend's tactics. So he wants her to feel unsafe so she moves in with him. But instead of being like, oh babe that's terrifying let's get you out of that hellhole and into my hellhole instead... He feels like he needs to underplay the situation and gaslight her about it? Can he not avoid being a controlling rear end in a top hat even when it's a disadvantage to being a controlling rear end in a top hat?

On the guy who blocked his ex after getting dumped, i don't think his ex girlfriend was doing a tik tok relationship test. Other posters says she's trying to backtrack, but nothing indicates she wants to get back together. I think she was just baffled that op wasn't going through the proper official steps for a breakup. She wanted to have the big heart to heart and closure conversation. But saying that she wants to break up is a full conversation already and op didn't want to go through all that. The ex and everyone else are just confused how blasé op appears to be, instead of crying his heart out. I admit that I would find it a little weird if i saw someone have a seeming lack of reaction to a 3 year relationship ending. But like, get over it. You broke up. Move on. Stop making op's reaction about yourself.Halloween Jack posted:I just hire sex workers to steal fruit from my neighbours' trees. They're reliable and it keeps them off the street. That's just sensible. You can't find lemons in a can, only on trees. AITA for wanting to take my bio kid to Disney and not including my bonus kids quote:1 (31) have a kid (2) with my boyfriend (31). He has previous kids from a previous relationship, 8 & 9 years old. I am the bread winner due to him not being able to keep the good jobs. We lost our rental a couple of months back due to his lack of financial responsibility. (I did not know he wasn't making payments towards certain bills therefore, me paying for everything plus playing catch up became too much.) During these past couple of months we have been living with his parents, and our goal was to pay off our debt. Well, I've caught up on nearly 10k on debt while he's been able to only pay off $500. I do give him grace knowing he doesn't make much money, however, I know he has no other payments other than his phone and daycare. Therefore, paying a little extra towards debt should not be an issue. Anyway, this summer, I really wanted to take a trip out to Disneyland. I told him about us going as a whole, he agreed. Well as it gets closer, he's now saying we don't need to go, it's going to be too hot and too packed. "The little one won't remember" "the older kids aren't that into Disney anymore" which he tends to do this type of tactics when he realizes he can't financially do it. I have no issue doing 50/50 but that's where he won't meet me half way. He rather no one go. So my question is, would I be the rear end in a top hat if I decide to make it a trip with just my bio kid and I? And him pay his way if he can afford it? I hate this situation but I am a firm believer in not letting my kid lose out on experiences if others aren't willing to do that for them. This is why I work so hard, so she will never miss out on anything and have everything she wants and needs. You had 10k in debt, have no home, and live with his parents. You think you can go on an expensive disney vacation for a toddler who won't remember?

Yet another hilarious TikTok breakup "prank" story: AITAH for breaking up over a prank quote:My (24f) ex-girlfriend (24f) and I had been together for 3 years. She and I had the same sense of humor and were pretty good at resolving any arguments we ever had quickly. This past weekend she sent me a long text explaining why she no longer wanted to be me. I tried calling her and texting her back asking if we could talk in person she declined my calls and texted back to let me know “there was nothing to fix.” I replied with “ok then” and blocked her.

Oh, it was just a test? I was also testing you to see if you were the sort of person who would send me a tiktok prank as a test, and you failed. This is sort of a deep cut, but I was at an autocross event last weekend where a porsche gt3 rs got stuck in some mud and had to be hauled out with a truck, and all I could think about was the dude who took his girlfriend’s gt3 rs offroading in a field after his buddy asked him to, and then was very upset when his girlfriend told him that he needed to pay for all the suspension and bodywork he had hosed up. Wonder how that guy is doing.

This just seems like a really sadistic prank. Especially because apparently "ok, bye" is not the intended response. Apparently when someone says there's "nothing to fix", the appropriate response is to grovel and plead and promise to do anything they want to save the relationship. That's not a prank or test. It's a sadistic, borderline psychopathic power play. If that's the love of respect these people have for their partners, they absolutely deserve to be blocked and ghosted.

The "not getting upset enough when I broke up with you via text" story is so loving high school from her part. My friend's oldest is going through the same thing and she's loving 14. She "broke up" via text with her really nice boyfriend because his family is rich and she didn't think her birthday present was fancy enough. He "only" got her some $250 dollar sneakers she wanted but she set her expectations much more lavishly. She thought if she broke up with him saying she didn't feel he valued her enough, he would beg to get her back and shower her with gifts. He didn't block her right away, they had a back and forth, he expressed how sad and hurt he was that she'd break up with him this way, and then he moved the gently caress on with his life. My friend's kid is now devastated realizing she just threw away a kind rich boyfriend she actually liked and has now become even more of an awful teen around the house because of it. Apparently the guy is now dating her "rival" from her competitive dance she's into. So she's breaking stuff around the house, taking things out on her mom and younger sister, and generally being the most emotionally unregulated teen you can imagine. This is the same kid who last year was constantly having crying meltdowns about how everyone at school bullies her and is mean to her, but it came out that she was the one trying to go all mean-girls and bully anyone she could (including her few friends) which resulted in people not liking her and her friends ditching her from their social circle over it. Sometimes kids really do have bad vibes.

This isn't a call-out post of specifically you, but I have noticed a lot when a story is explicitly about a M/M or F/F relationship, multiple people often reply with the assumption of a M/F relationship, like as soon as they see the poster is one sex they assumed the opposite for the other partner. Try to pay attention everybody!

Classic starter kid gently caress up story. Parenting classes are no joke and should be mandatory because this is such a common story. Either they gently caress up the first kid from trying too hard or not at all, or the last one for the same reasons + regret from how preceding children turned out. But they really are by and large what you make of them. All the emotionally unregulated kids I knew came from homes where throwing dishes or screaming were common. It’s like the first time you’re at your friends house and they get into a mutual, swear-laden argument with their parents which does not resolve anything, even at that age you’re like “oh I see why you always get detention bro”

selec posted:Classic starter kid gently caress up story. Parenting classes are no joke and should be mandatory because this is such a common story. Either they gently caress up the first kid from trying too hard or not at all, or the last one for the same reasons + regret from how preceding children turned out. I remember the first time going to my friend's house who was always the "bad kid" at school. Actually a nice kid, he just could not ever keep his mouth shut or express any emotions in any other way than yelling and swearing. We're settling in to play this cool new "smash bros" video game when his bedroom door is nearly kicked open and his mom just starts screaming and swearing at him. "Dan you better be making GBS threads me!!! You're supposed to roll the bins in when you come home from school!! You loving forgot, again!!! We don't ask you to do much..." and then he matches her energy and just starts screaming and swearing back at her to get off his rear end and how he had a friend over and to get the gently caress out of his room and roll the loving bins herself if its so important. I just start kinda laughing because I thought surely they're doing a bit. This is a bit right? They're just super funny parents and this is a bit they do for guests. It wasn't a bit. But the moment she left he instantly was normal again and acted like nothing happened. We're only like 15 but I tried to like give him some therapy and ask him why he escalates so instantly with his mom, and how both of them need to calm down and do a reset in their communication. Maybe sit down and talk and both agree to stop yelling and swearing and just talk normally and it would do them both a lot of good to reduce stress in the house. He told me maybe my mom can be normal but his mom is just a psycho bitch and he HAS to scream at her otherwise she won't leave him alone. Later when I went to get a snack for us his mom was in the kitchen and I actually talked to her one on one about Dan and how they were screaming like that. She was totally normal when talking to me and said it was really sweet I was trying to help their relationship, but Dan is just an rear end in a top hat kid and yelling is the only way to get him to listen to her at all. Oh well lol
