If your rectum looks like that, please go to a hospital immediately. If you can't drive, text your girlfriend and tell her that your butthole hurts.

did she use medical terms or did she call it a hoo-ha, because saying "ouchie in my balls" reads very differently from "debilitating pain in my groin/testicles"

edit: "my balls" sounds like a bad punchline

You really think it's reasonable to expect someone in such incredible pain that they're just throwing up on the floor to use multi-syllable medical terminology? If anything, I'd be less likely to believe that someone was in insufferable pain and needed to go to the hospital if they had the presence of mind to type "there is a debilitating pain in my groin/testicles" instead of something like "my balls hurt" - especially if they include the /, since that's usually extra effort to text and not get an inconvenient space.

If someone I'm dating texts me that they think they need to go to the ER and tries to call me multiple times, I'm not going to nitpick their word choice and insist that they're lying and block them, especially if I'm five minutes away. I might verify that it's for real, but I'm going to be on my way. If it turns out that this is their idea of a prank it's probably over between us with me recommending they read "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" as part of the breakup, but I'm definitely not going to block them and just go about my day like nothing happened.

I threw away my husband's collection and now he won't speak to me

Original Post - April 15, 2024

quote:

My husband considers himself an art connoisseur, when he's not.

He filled his home office and the hallway with his collection which he inherited from his grandfather. The point is that his grandfather got scammed and most of the paintings, statuettes and artifacts (fake guns, books, ship models) are fakes or reproductions. Very few real pieces.

My husband knows, but he liked it as a kid and so he kept it, adding stuff over the years. He always bought fakes or repros too, saying he likes how they look and he wouldn't bankrupt us like that. To be honest, I couldn't stand that assortment of random knick knacks, especially because they aren't worth a thing. His hallway and office looked like a kid's idea of a museum.

He was away on a trip two weeks ago and I seized the occasion to put all the stuff in storage and give a restyling to his office. I figured he'd get upset but eventually accept it. When he came back, he got silent. I reassured him I didn't throw any of his knick knacks, just put them in storage and that I liked his room much better now, and his grandmother should have done the same for his grandfather.

He said that the rest of the house is already in my style and he accepted it, but the office and hallway were "his" space. I reassured him he will like it better with time, but a week has passed and he looks depressed. He stopped spending time in his room, barely talks to me and even refuses intimacy. He acts indifferent and told me I can get rid of the few things I kept.

I am starting to think I overstepped. Did I make a mistake? I am considering apologizing and get his stuff back in his office.

Update

quote:

Guys, I hear you. I hosed up big time and I know it. I'll ask him if he can forgive me and I will get back all his stuff. I'll also offer to display some of his stuff in the living room as a peace offering.

Top Comments

quote:

UnevenGlow: Yeah you disrespected him big time

OOP: I see that now. I will apologize and bring back his stuff. I am also going to ask him to display some stuff in the living room.

SleepyDreamer16: You did overstep. This is major disrespect. These things were important to him and it doesn't matter if you like them or not. Even if it was the ugliest object you have ever seen, you should still accept his feelings about it. This is about something more than just objects, this is showing him that his opinion doesn't matter to you and that he can't trust you. You should apologize immediately and let him know that you really do realize it was a wrong thing to do.

TrashCranberry: Yes, you made a mistake. You have been crapping on his hobby for a long time and now you finally took the final step and converted his space into what YOU want. How selfish of you.

Not only should you apologize, you should help him restore his space and buy him a few bad art pieces that he would like.



Update - April 16, 2024

quote:

Hey guys I know I hosed up big time and your comments just reinforced that feeling. I went to my husband, gave him a massive apology and told him I would really like to get back his collection and get his office and hallway like they were before. I also apologized for going behind his back and violating his safe space the way I did.

I also offered to let him display some pieces in our bedroom and living room and next time he spots something he would like to add to his collection, I am paying for it. He accepted my apology and forgave me. We spent the afternoon getting his stuff back in place.

It's not worth it to create a rift between us for this. I might not like his taste in art, but I love this man and if he's happy I am happy too.

Thank you all for the comments and the though love, I really needed it.

I just want to note as the adoptive parent of a kid who grew up with food insecurity (I've had her since she was 13 and she's 20 now), that poor kid cannot eat the last of anything in the house to this day, because she is still terrified that there will be no more if she does. No access to food for long enough seriously screws with people's minds.

I myself can't eat gluten anymore and my kids can and I often am frustrated by food in my house I can't eat, but I don't take it out on the kids.

I guess I feel like everyone in this one is overreacting but I also understand how both of them can be seriously frustrated with each other and there really needs to be more empathy from both of them for the others position, I suspect.

im guessing they have one of those relationships where it's like an inside joke to like, playfully annoy the other person. i saw them a lot in my 20s, especially early 20s. she might even have feelings on that herself. that could've been the gf's position

but yeah i mean, his pain was in his balls and she asked where the pain was, not sure what else he could have said. she had to have considered it mightve been bad to be ignoring him, if annoying her is something he never does when she goes out. hard to know when something serious is going on with pranks so set in stone, especially at 22

anyway a lot of that is not in the text, i just find it hard to believe she'd be so randomly uncaring after 5 years. it's probably more likely she cares a lot and it was just about all the wrong stuff in an unfortunate situation she couldn't and didn't want to imagine

If only there was some kind of way for him to communicate his emergency to her, like a sort of handheld device they both have which could allow him to talk to her despite not being in the same room together. Alas, the only choice she had to him calling was to reject the call and force him to communicate through text which makes it SO HARD to tell what kind of emotional state they're in! And when he presses with his joke obviously instead of telling him to stop she just blocked him!

AITA for telling my son that he acts too much like a woman.

quote:

I have a son (18M).

Ever since he was like 6, somehow most of his friends have been girls. His current group of friends is like 7 girls and 2 boys. He also has a 'best friend' relationship with my wife and daughter.

This has just happened due to coincidental circumstances as he got pulled into a girl friend group as his first good friend as a kid was a girl. He is not gay so this is unconventional.

I don' t have a problem with his friends, they are good people. However I feel like he has not been able to develop socially because of this and has developed personality traits that are woman like.

He acts too overly considerate of everything, always offers to help people and has way too much patience for everything. He recently learned to drive and when he drives, he never gets upset in any way when others mess up on the road. I am not saying he should have road rage but he should have a little more personality.

Despite this he has the normal hobbies of any boy, he wants to study engineering, plays video games, likes tech and cars etc.

I thought this would fix itself in college, but most of his hs friend group went to the same college and did either engineering or comp sci and he is somehow friends with all the girls in his major now.

I basically had a chat with him and told him he acts too much like a woman and this could impact him later in life, at the workplace for promotions etc and he could be seen as someone weak and easy to push over. However he got upset at me and thought I was criticizing his friends when I just wanted him to either act a little different and understand the real world and / or make some new friends with guys. He has never experienced what it is like to hang out with a group of bros.

I hate my son, he's patient, considerate, helpful, doesn't road rage, he should be an rear end in a top hat like me.
