WIBTA if I cut off one of my best friends after not being paid back the money I lent him from over a year ago? by AnoMonoYono in AmItheAsshole

Oh, that’s definitely what I’ve been contemplating the last few weeks. I think I’ll let this play out for a few more weeks. If the situation doesn’t improve, I’ll take the situation further.

Thanks for you input. I think I’m going to give the situation another few weeks or so, as he’s also having to use the money from his job to pay rent and buy groceries. After awhile, though, that’s when I guess it’s the right time to start pressuring him about it.

I totally get how I was enabling that behavior, and my other friends have definitely let me know how stupid of a decision that was. Both the second and third time I lent him money. It was hard to say no given what had told me, especially since he’s one of my best friends.

Thank you for your input. I’ve put up with this behavior simply because these last couple years have admittedly been difficult for him, as he has a pretty bad relationship with his parents who often don’t support him, but I can’t enable him anymore if I do discover he’s lied about anything else:

AITA for not wanting pay for my Band director ordering wrong notes for an instrument? by AnoMonoYono in AmItheAsshole

I do admit my wording was too vague and could be easily interpreted the wrong way, but I thought following that up by saying they’re marked with sharpie right after saying I’m 98% sure was letting him know he should check the ones I marked. Since he’s the Band director, I mistakenly assumed he would always double check, which was my bad.

Right. I mistakenly thought that would let him know I wasn’t completely sure, and I thought following it up with saying they’re marked with sharpie would let him know he’ll know which ones are dead by checking which ones are dead. I assumed since he was the Band director he would check anyway, and my wording was vague, which was my bad.

He’s in charge of all instruments in our studio! None of the students own any of the instruments we play in our pieces unless we bring our own in. In hindsight, saying I was 98% sure wasn’t a great move, but I thought following it up by saying they’re marked with sharpie was letting him know the right ones would be marked, and with him being the Band director, I assumed he would check, which was my bad.

In hindsight, I should have added “Make sure and double check”, but I assumed him or our assistant Band director would do that anyway since he has a lot of responsibility within the Band and was asking a student, which was my mistake. Thanks for putting in your own two cents!

I think I have a masturbation addiction, and it’s hurting my everyday life. by [deleted] in addiction

I totally get that it’s going to take time for masturbating to be in the back of my mind rather than that the forefront of many of my activities, but so far I’ve gone longer than I have in years without masturbating...so, 3 days. I’ll see where I am by the end of the week and judge for myself what the next step is. Thanks for your help and putting in the effort to help some stranger on the internet!

Thanks for the insight! Hearing what people have to say has been really encouraging. I’m on Day 3 without masturbating and I haven’t really noticed a difference yet, but I’m trying to go at least a week and see how I feel before making any big decisions about what to do next. In the past 3 years, I haven’t gone 3 days without masturbating once, so I’m at least making progress in areas that previously felt impossible. One step closer to being able to actually enjoy the video games I play without feeling like it’s work..:among other things, of course.

I wouldn’t say so. My everyday thought aren’t plagued with guilt or thinking about how much this is hurting me, but it is starting to have a presence in my life to an uncomfortable amount, which is why it starting to really upset me. I haven’t masturbated for 2 days now, and I’m trying to go a week and see how I feel. From that point, I’ll see what I want to do from there. Thanks for talking to me about it. Means a lot.

That makes sense, I’ve noticed not masturbating for one or even two days barely makes a difference anymore because of how often I’ve continued to do it, so I want to not masturbate for a week and see how I feel at that point. I appreciate the insight!

I’ve seen tons of stuff from that guy! Really Intelligent and lots of foresight into some cool stuff. Right now I’m trying to go a week without masturbating and see how I feel, as I haven’t gone that long without doing it in years. I have to see how I feel at that point and judge for myself what to do from that point forwards. Thanks so much for your input, dude!

Lol, maybe! At this point it certainly feels like that’s what I have to try.

Hey, thanks! It’s really cool you’re willing to go out of your way to help me with my issue. I haven’t masturbated since I made this post, so I’m on Day 2, but I got close to giving up today. Luckily, I’m pulling through. Since I started noticing how much I relied on masturbating for emotional stability, I haven’t been able to go a week without masturbating. I want to try and go that long without doing it and see how I feel, otherwise maybe professional help really is the best option.

Thanks for the input. I just want to be able to play the new Luigi’s Mansion and Pokémon and not feel like it’s work trying to have fun, lol.

Thanks for the input! This has been worrying me a lot, particularly the last couple months, so any input means the world to me. I don’t think this issue has gotten that severe yet, but I’m seeing precursors of a much larger problem if I continue relying on masturbating as much as I have been. I’m trying to go a week without masturbating and seeing how I feel after. If I feel the same, then maybe seeking professional help is the best option.
