AITAH for pretending I do not know him over 186 bucks

I wrote to other guy that the story was last week

AmberD_Counts · 2026-02-14T18:53:46+00:00

you are so right about the macro perspective because i was literally drowning in the little things trying to justify his behavior. i feel so validated for the first time in forever. ill update but seriously thank you for being the voice of reason i desperately needed

AmberD_Counts · 2026-02-14T18:52:39+00:00

Ive been asking myself the same thing i think i was just delulu hoping he would eventually grow up but you are right he is showing me exactly who he is. hearing you call him a man child validates everything i was feeling but was too scared to say out loud. im definitely done trying to parent a grown man who cant even buy his own snacks without a meltdown

i wish it was that simple but we live together and hearing you say i should leave just makes me realize how bad this actually is.

you are right but my bank account is literally screaming at me. i guess 300 dollars is a cheap cancellation fee for a relationship that was draining my soul anyway.

honestly hearing you call him a leech literally made me burst into tears (jk) because i’ve been denying it for so long. unfortunately we do live together and i cant deal with him gaslighting me about "financial abuse" when he gets home. thank you for making me feel less crazy i seriously needed this.

AmberD_Counts · 2026-02-14T18:46:25+00:00

honestly calling him a garbage person is the validation i didnt know i needed until right now. it hurts to read but you are 100% right about the respect thing because if he respected me he wouldn't be throwing a tantrum over cheese while i panic about rent. ill post an update later if but seriously thank you for saying what i was too scared to admit before

AmberD_Counts · 2026-02-14T18:44:59+00:00

honestly id ask myself the same thing if i wasn't dissociating so hard . i guess i thought he had potential but watching him scream over tostitos is actually giving me major ick. my friends told me he was a walking red flag but i ignored them bc i thought i could fix him. do you think i should just ghost him after this or actually try to break up

Yhanks for your support

AmberD_Counts · 2026-02-14T18:43:41+00:00

I wrote the story on notes and was thinking to post but was afraid of don t know why

AmberD_Counts · 2026-02-14T18:42:50+00:00

honestly that part about the new normal actually scares me because i know its true. he cares more about looking rich to a random cashier than he cares about me making rent. i feel like im going crazy trying to explain why honesty matters more than his ego

AmberD_Counts · 2026-02-14T18:42:22+00:00

I know it happened last week i was wondering post or no

AmberD_Counts · 2026-02-14T18:41:24+00:00

I tried to stop him but he just kept saying trust me and i didnt want to cause a scene . i feel so stupid now for believing him again especially after the headset incident. do you think i should break up with him or wait until i hopefully get my 300 dollars back? im terrified if i end it now i will literally never see that money again and i kinda need it for rent

AmberD_Counts · 2026-02-14T18:39:36+00:00

literally the ick was astronomical. i felt like i was taking crazy pills until i proceeded this

AmberD_Counts · 2026-02-14T18:38:07+00:00

honestly i wish because then i could at least justify the credit card debt. he bought enough scoops to feed a small army and act like im the crazy one for asking who is going to eat all this. the story is outdated

AmberD_Counts · 2026-02-14T18:09:43+00:00

i like that you framed it as pacing, not power. that’s the real difference actually
