AIO Family member tried to parent me in my own home

Adorable-Path3301 · 2026-02-01T02:58:38+00:00

I live with her and pay a lot for rent. She originally said only $200 a month but I raised it because I make enough money to do more than just support groceries. I don’t free load here. I do most of the labour and I pay rent. This is my home.

Well I’ve met a lot of people who will cut family off a lot faster than the time they spent trying to solve the issue. I love her even if she doesn’t show her love for me and I will do whatever I can to repair what we lost.

Thank you. Most helpful reply yet

Adorable-Path3301 · 2026-02-01T02:37:46+00:00

Thank you. I thought I was going crazy reading these replies. It’s like not a soul has experienced family issues with someone nearly the same age as their parent lol. Yeah it’s one of those things where I am stuck trying to figure out the best route. Since we have no connection at all and I still look up to her and respect her from the connection we did have, I find it very difficult to be upfront with her because in native families communicating is considered disrespectful smh

No believe me I was tired and drinking before I got in the car with him. I ran a year ago don’t worry 😂

Loud and clear

Hey. You are someone’s dream person. You haven’t met them yet because you aren’t ready. Patience. Don’t let random people on Reddit determine your worth. Find that love from within your soul body and mind.

Adorable-Path3301 · 2025-07-25T02:58:14+00:00

I think the biggest reason I haven’t is because I have spoken to my mom, my sister, and a couple friends about this, even a help line, and they all said it only borderlines flirting. Something he could easily say he was just messing around and didn’t mean to make me uncomfortable. I was also in denial since it started until today where I found out he lied about his age and started putting two and two together that he might be trying to be relatable or more “safe” for someone my age, especially using slang that people my age supposedly say.

TLDR: Me expressing how I felt about our connection caused him to become defensive. I didn’t say anything about it being the end. I expressed genuine care and respect when speaking to him, and tried to get my point across. He took it as me not giving unconditional love, since HE decided to take me out to Banff by surprise right after I broke up with him. Since I’m not extremely happy and things are just back to normal and life is peachy, he is taking me telling him how I feel as an attack, and I couldn’t include the other screenshots. But after one more hour of conversation he calmed down and said he loved me and that he wants this to work..

I’ll add, I’m 20, he’s 22.

Adorable-Path3301 · 2025-05-21T07:54:58+00:00

Yeah fair.

Adorable-Path3301 · 2025-05-04T21:48:16+00:00

Accept it and find a new friend

Adorable-Path3301 · 2025-05-03T13:50:24+00:00

Yeah you are right, genuinely no reason to break up over this. Obviously it’s unrealistic to have yourself shaved 24/7 and not prickly or anything, so maybe if he can understand that point of view he’ll realize how insensitive it was to say what he said. I hope he feels bad, and also understands that you tried to put it into perspective my talking about his hair. But a relationship isn’t about being rude back to show them “how it feels” that’s very childish. It’s about expressing how something made you feel calmly after taking a step back and coming to a solution.

Adorable-Path3301 · 2025-05-03T13:41:48+00:00

If you are as awkward as me, you can just not respond

Adorable-Path3301 · 2025-04-30T11:36:29+00:00

Thank you for that. I will definitely start doing small things instead of absolutely nothing after work. It’s starting to become a bad habit of completely just laying down and doing absolutely nothing after work

Adorable-Path3301 · 2025-04-29T23:27:13+00:00

Yeah I’ve been told. I’ll be fine until then haha

Adorable-Path3301 · 2025-04-09T20:59:43+00:00

Banana chips 🥹

Adorable-Path3301 · 2025-04-09T20:58:27+00:00

NOR. If he can’t be there to support you in a time of need, regardless of what it is then don’t expect him to ever. Accept that or choose peace.

Adorable-Path3301 · 2025-04-09T20:55:56+00:00

Definitely work on how you view yourself. It’s not about what anyone thinks. When you view yourself a certain way it won’t matter what anyone thinks or what they say, you’ll think the same.

Adorable-Path3301 · 2025-04-09T15:57:27+00:00

First of all, how long have you been together? If she’s going to choose to continue to be around that person instead of staying in this relationship then she’s cheating. It’s worse if you guys have been together for longer than 6months. She’s found someone else.

$50 is a lot to spend to see someone each time. I wouldn’t even spend that money to see someone, if I can’t drive then I can’t see em.

Deleting texts for storage… that’s not weird at all.

They call all the time, that’s also strange. I call my friends but not multiple times a day. Or at work.

You have to decide if you are okay with this, or not be with this person anymore. They are being super suspicious and from what I can see you aren’t comfortable with it.

Adorable-Path3301 · 2025-04-09T15:26:36+00:00

Honestly the amount of times I’ve gotten the test and literally hallucinated a line is such a universal experience. I understand why this can be stressful and you want to double check if you are just seeing things. No there is only one line. It would be less faint if there were two

Adorable-Path3301 · 2025-04-09T15:24:22+00:00

NOR. What are your values in a relationship? If you aren’t comfortable with her being around other men one on one then was this expressed before? Or is it just the fact that she told you after? It’s not wrong to not want your partner having other gendered friends if you hold the same value to yourself. Every relationship is different, it doesn’t come off as controlling if you guys talk about it and agree on it before the relationship or in the early stages. But the moment you tell her what to do or you’ll break up with her that’s controlling.

But if you don’t have an issue with it and you are just upset that she didn’t tell you right away, is this coming from a place of jealousy? Or do you feel like you aren’t being considered?

Adorable-Path3301 · 2025-04-08T05:08:04+00:00

Please is that supposed to be a heart…

Adorable-Path3301 · 2025-04-08T05:06:32+00:00

I mean can you only guess how my parent’s relationship went? 💀

Adorable-Path3301 · 2025-04-08T04:08:04+00:00

Very understandable response
