Yep, that long hair on your ear just sprouted up since this morning. Since you "don't look to closely at yourself" you are lucky to have a partner who will take care of your nasty inappropriate hairs, sit still for ten seconds and let her get rid of it you buffoon.

Yet another hilarious TikTok breakup "prank" story:

AITAH for breaking up over a prank

Pete approves (although he would say you probably should have broken up after the first time she "tested" you).

quote:

I (30F) cheated on my husband (27M) he's taking it well but I feel he resents me I know I did something awful and disgusting, and when I couldn't take the guilt anymore I cut off my affair partner and confessed everything to my husband.

He got more upset and depressed than angry, and I begged for him to not divorce me. I proposed counseling, therapy, even allowing him to have sex with other women, but he wasn't interested. He said he wanted to try to work us out and I jumped in being the best wife a man can ask for.

I cook his favorite dishes, leave him loving notes, and bought new lingerie to entice him. His reactions are lukewarm at best. He smiles and thanks me, but not once he has said he loves me since I have confessed. He barely initiates anything and I basically have to push myself on him, not that he complains.

Sometimes we talk about this, but I think I still lost the man I love. His behavior with me feels very artificial and nothing changes his facade: I can be playful, I can be sad, I can get angry and I can get seductive, his reaction is always this stupid smile and polite words.

He was so emotional and sincere before all of this happened. I want him to let out his true emotions with me, even if he hates me. I still love him so much. What can I do to fix this?

TL;dr I cheated on my husband. He didn't get angry and is always kind with me, but I feel he's become indifferent to me.

quote:

He knows I cheated. We didn't separate and I begged him to not divorce and let me fix this. He agreed but his behavior since my confession has basically been one of indifference. Like I wrote on my last post, I do my best to be the best wife he could ask for: I cook his favorite foods, get him gifts, screw his brains out every night.

He just smiles and thanks me. He acts kind and never yells at me, but I feel his icy indifference under that mask of courtesy. Two weeks ago he started coming home late. Very late. And when he does he just goes to bed. I asked him what's going on, and he told me in the kindest way possible that it's not my business.

I call him when he stays out and he picked up only once. I heard a woman laughing in the background. I am starting to think he is cheating back on me. It loving hurts. If he told me at least I would do my best to stomach it, I deserve this after all. But he won't tell me, he just shuts me out. A common friend told me she spotted him in a car with a woman she didn't recognize and this felt like a stab in the heart.

She said she couldn't describe her exactly because she wore big sunglasses, but she recognized my husband because of his particular taste in neckties. They were talking, but my friend said that from their position it looked like they were holding their hands or one of them was touching the other's lap.

I don't know what to do. If he is having an affair I deserve it, but I need to know. The uncertainty is killing me. Should I confront him? Should I try to find out more?

I don't know how much more I can take of this. I wish he would at least communicate with me.

quote:

He left me and he was cheating on me. I did like you guys said and begged him to talk to me. He didn't want to but I cried and yelled so much I puked all over.

He got softer with me, he helped me clean up and we talked. I asked him if he was cheating on me and he said he was talking with someone, but didn't do anything with her. I asked if she was the woman my friend saw him with, he thought on it a little but said no, it was another woman whom he met a month ago in his office.

I asked him how could he and said I gave him permission, and he didn't do anything besides unloading his problems and our situation with her. But he played it like he was having a full affair so I could feel what he felt, especially because according to him I neglected him and made it obvious I was cheating on him. He said he was suffering and I was almost rubbing it in his face, I told him I wasn't doing it on purpose and he said this was even worse because I didn't care at all.

He said that everything I did after confessing meant nothing and just made him think I am selfish, self-centered and lack any sort of self-respect. I asked him if we could work on myself and our marriage, but he said we can have counseling to sort ourselves out, but the marriage is over.

He said he wishes no ill on me, and decided to cut his charade because he could no longer bear to the woman he once loved suffer like that. But he said I am no longer that woman. I started sobbing again and he held me, but he kept saying no when I asked him we work this out.

I asked him what he was going to do and he's moving out, he already found a new place. I asked him if he was going to live with that woman and he said he, but she was close enough. I asked him how he could pick a total stranger he met a month ago over his wife of five years. He said his wife of five years no longer exists, he has to pick between two strangers, and that woman made a much better impression on him. I told him he was a fool and he could not know this woman will probably use and dump him, he got harsh and said she's better than me for sure.

He said he won't say to our families our marriage ended because I cheated, but because we grew apart and that he will leave the house to me as long as I make the divorce smooth. But if I try to take him to the cleaners, drag it out, or cause any problem he will tell everyone what I did and "destroy" me and my reputation.

This happened yesterday and he has already packed up almost everything. I can't stop crying and I can't believe this is happening. This is horrible and unfair.

You guys are right saying that I suck. But he has fault too, he never really wanted to fix this. He used me for months and then discarded me.

And yet I want him back and forgive and forget all the hurt we done to each other. As for his girl, I don't think she will be good for him.

quote:

My older sister, Sarah, is very much child-free and hates children. I have no problem with this since it's her life, but I like my kids. I have two: Aiden and Rachel. They are twins.

The gist is, she came to our house to invite us for her wedding and essentially said "I want all of you to be present there, and you can invite whoever you want. But don't bring any kids as it's child-free." Both my wife and I agreed to this, and we did not have anyone else to invite anyway.

Everything went well until one of Sarah's friends began to talk to Aiden, and asked him about how things are going for him, etc. During the conversation they learned that he's 17, and Sarah was shocked. As they're twins, she knew that Rachel is 17 as well.

She got mad at me and accused me of betraying her by bringing a 17 year old. I said that she invited everyone, but she responded with "I did, but that's because I thought they were of age. I'd forgotten, but you knew that I am child-free". We got into a huge argument and in the end I stormed off.

She's mad at me for "ruining" her wedding and has been calling me names now, and so is her husband,

AITA?

Doing this is completely deranged and the OP is fully justified in breaking up with her girlfriend over it, it's awful that it's a trend on tiktok, and anyone who does it with the intent of posting it on tiktok in particular should be shot into the sun, but I do kind of wonder if some of these people have some sort of underlying mental illness and tiktok videos are playing on their fears and making them feel like they have to test their partner to make sure they really love them

I can get enforcing a hard stop age on the child free wedding stuff, just to stop people from being annoying about wavering on the line. But, come the hell on. It isn't like at 18 you suddenly turn into a perfect, full-formed member of society. You were even enjoying the time spent with them before you knew the truth!

Wonder if anyone can find that post from like January of the woman not going to her sisters wedding because it was child free, 17 years 11 months and 21 days was too young, 18 years, 0 months 15 days was perfectly ok.

Probably because you can't take photos of it.

quote:

Last year I (24f) moved in together with my boyfriend "Alex" (27m). I moved to his city because it was more convenient with work for the both of us. His parents live a few minutes away from us. They and I don't really get along. They blame it on "cultural differences", but in short: his mum is overbearing and doesn't care about boundaries and his dad is a tyrant. My boyfriend does stand up for me, and doesn't pressure me to spend more time with them than politely necessary.

When we moved in, he said he will give two spare keys to his parents, in case we forget ours. I was really uncomfortable with that, but he promised, that even though they are as they are, they would never just enter our apartment, so I agreed.

Not even 2 months later, I'm woken at 5am because I hear someone enter our flat. I'm terrified and wake Alex, who only seems annoyed when he gets out of bed. I hear screaming, and suddenly, the door to our bedroom swings open and his dad starts yelling at me that he called one of Alex's coworkers, who said Alex is sick, and "as a good woman" it's my "responsibility to make him go anyways". I was in shock, covering my bare chest, when Alex finally managed to drag him out the flat.

Scared, disrespected and violated did not even begin to describe what I was feeling, and Alex promised that the first thing he will do the next day, is make sure his dad doesn't have access to our flat anymore.

It has been a few months without incidents, but yesterday I found out that even though Alex took his dad's key, he still left one with his mum. I was really upset, because he promised to take care his dad would not have access to a key anymore, and that I want that second key back today, but Alex was not understanding. He said it's just inconvenient for us to Break open the door if we ever forgot the key, and that I should not be so dramatic, since nothing happened the last few months.

I told him I don't know that, since someone could have been at the flat when we are not there, and besides that, I gave them the benefit of the doubt, they severely overstepped, and taking the key seems like a natural consequence. He then asked why I'm punishing his mum, and I countered by asking how it's punishing his mum if the key is not hers to begin with. He said that this will create a lot of drama with his family, and that I'm an AH for demanding he put up with that when there is no reason. I feel like this one incident is reason enough, not to mention that he broke my trust by letting me believe he took both keys. But what do you think? AITA in this situation?

Had a similar conversation with my boyfriend. He used the same logic as you and said "I just do it for fun, not because I have to! I could quit if I wanted, I just don't want to!"
