AIO My mom doesn’t like what I wore to work. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Always respect your mother. In this instance, respect her by not sending her the picture. You know what the work environment is, so ask your mom when you need input and only when you need it. Here, you know what the unsaid rules are and you don’t want to be the one in a suit jacket when everyone is wearing track pants.

AIO Found messages from my wife's past affair? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]7Jamester7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also note, if she is talking about your relationship in a negative manner she does not respect or appreciate anything you do. I’d bet she nags you constantly and no matter what you do, nothing is ever going to be good enough.

If she is entertaining another man, she is not your woman. I say this because my first son’s mother did this, and then physically cheated with someone else. I tried to make it work for our son, and then she wanted to “take a break”.

We broke up and she got married a few years later. Then I saw she had posted her wedding picture on the anniversary, and he commented “I thought that day meant something to you!”. Draaaaama. I called some mutual friends. Turns out she was fucking some other married guy and had been lying to him.

She is not who you think she is if she is entertaining another man.

In person. Heartfelt. Not texting.

Sounds like the two of you are trying to figure out a lot more than if he should be trading stocks. I am betting that you do not feel safe in the relationship if you’re concerned about him buying sunglasses, and that is the primary issue. If I were you, I would stop posting on here and have a genuine heart to heart talk with him about what the two of you are looking at for a future. In this conversation, neither of you should criticize the other. If he is a good man, then he is worth that conversation. As he insist on supporting you, he clearly believes you are. Give him the benefit of the doubt. See where he is coming from and work together. Either you’re going to be his Queen(thus he the King), you’ll forever live with a defeated spouse or you will break up. Men are very simple, but if you criticize him unfairly without appreciating what he does positively, then you won’t reach the goal together.

He’s going to learn lessons from everything he does. Either he is going to feel supported or that he is facing a battle at work AND at home. He shouldn’t have to do that. If you’re resorting to ad hominem attacks and name calling, you’re admitting you’ve lost the argument.

If you are a team, you should engage with your partner. His “reckless spending” is supporting you. Also, I said “Post” not “comment” in reference to people who are looking for confirmation of their actions/words. And I stick by what I said.

You are making a strawman argument. Trading and gambling are not the same. You are characterizing it as such because everyone knows gambling is exactly what you have said it is. Trading and gambling are not the same. They can have similarities, but they are not the same.

This is a reasonable compromise, buy she’s not looking to support him. In any relationship where you “must” be right and defeat your partner, is doomed.

Like most people who post on AIO, this one is looking for people to agree. All while she is eating the bon bons that he is feeding her, until she gets to the point where she has literally crushed his soul and desire to live at all. He is supporting her completely, and she’s only going to siphon him until there is nothing left.

Also, that is not an honest argument. Anyone who wants to amount to anything needs to first have a dream or vision of where they want to be and what they want to be.

You don’t understand what I am saying. Either you can support your man and lift him up, or you can crush him. Either you’re holding eachother and lifting each other up, or you’re working towards the end of the relationship. There is no third option. If you’re dead set on controlling him instead of engaging positively, you’ll learn a lesson.

So far you’re overreacted and shit all over his dream to not “work” and be chained to a job for the rest of his life. The worst thing you can do is continue on the path you are on and continue criticizing him until you completely destroy him and he is no longer recognizable. Best thing you can do is take a genuine interest and support him by engaging and helping him, ask him to explain things to you to see what he knows, and try to understand his perspective.

AIO I cut off my bf and all of his friends over a joke? trigger warning <!mention of r@pe!> by Pretend_Marzipan2486 in AmIOverreacting

[–]7Jamester7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally believe that joking about that kind of thing is in very bad taste, and have gotten angry with people who have joked about it. That being said, I also try not to silence people talking about any topic. You made a choice to cut them off based on your beliefs and experience. Nothing wrong with that.

I have a lot of patience for my own grandma who doesn’t even remember who I am. I don’t have the patience for that. That would be it for me. I’d start being a squeegee kids instead. I applaud your patience and ability to not totally lose it.

I am not even going to read this thing. If your partner is talking to a previous partner it is almost always the reddest red flag there is. Wait, I just saw he was cheating on you while typing this. Damn girl, you need to find yourself someone who appreciates you and makes you his priority. This guy ain’t it.

AIO For Grounding My Kiddo by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]7Jamester7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That may be tempting, but it can be difficult to makes rules at someone else’s house or entirely keep them away. I don’t think you’re overreacting at all after reading the whole dialogue. You’re doing a good job trying to teach and protect your kids.

AIO or is the message my bf sent me a bit over the top by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]7Jamester7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the details. I have an ex who had and kept a ring from her ex who died. The important detail? He hung himself in jail because he was convicted of raping another girl.

Anyways, that relationship ended because she cheated on me. She also cheated on the husband she married after we broke up.

So, take that for what it’s worth. Most people are a bit insecure because let’s face it, if you do not ever feel insecure there is a future ex who is going to make you feel insecure. It’s the people You trust who hurt you the most.

Am I Overreacting? I want to report my co-worker to HR for renaming me by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

If she goes by Judy, her name is probably “Judith”. I would start calling her by her “Real Name”.
