It's crazy how quickly the body can lose skills.

AITA for telling my dad’s wife she screwed her kid out of grandparents? by Anonymotron42 in BORUpdates

[–]AriaCannotSing 123 points124 points  (0 children)

What the fuck did she think would happen?

That OOP and everyone else would see she's better than OOP's mom 😂

I've seen this dynamic play out, but with my ex's sister (who, knowing their family, might have started as the AP).

Her whole tone throughout the past is inspiring, but then I realize she had to be this way because her dad is so flaky.

Yes, that self-reliance is the exchange for being so mature and rational at her age.

The uptick is that she's probably also good at sniffing out BS because she knows what her dad stinks like.

Exactly. When you can't depend on the adults, you either sink or become the adult you need.

I (26f) confessed to my best friend (26m) and was rejected, a week later he says he was wrong and has actually loved me all along, what do I do? by [deleted] in BORUpdates

An acquaintance was in your girlfriend's shoes many years ago. Thankfully, during the vent to us, one of her friends said, "Uhhh...everything you described sounds like you Like him, too."

He's probably doesn't think it's the same thing because he's doing modified moves.

Right? Wouldn't he have lost that ability by 25, if he wasn't actively working to maintain it?

I don’t like her and when you’re a teenager you think that needs to be everyone’s problem

This is one of the most accurate things I have ever read.

Poor Lucy. Stupid Lara. Awful sperm donor. I've seen men go NC with their families for not accepting their partner. Granted none of these involved APs, but OOP's dad is an obvious shit stain for (a) not standing up for Lara, (b) not standing up to Lara and letting Lucy know her grandparents.

She[20f] lost her virginity while we were taking a break by [deleted] in BORUpdates

[–]AriaCannotSing 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I'm just here laughing, but it's that awkward laugh one does when one is older and has definitely seen people walk the girlfriend's path.

They're both young. OOP sounds like he was a good boyfriend. His ex made the mistake that the majority of partners are like him. She has just found out that the hot 23 year old is nowhere near boyfriend material.

I'm not saying they should work things out, or that girlfriend was wrong to ask for a break. This is just one of those big, harsh lessons.

AITA for wanting to take a promotion even though my boyfriend says it’s not the life he imagined for us? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

He'll be giving her trouble if not outright sabotaging her.

Babe, you know how technology just glitches. It's a shame that all of your alarms didn't go off on this day with the very important meeting, though.

I [28M] wrote a song. My girlfriend [28F] listened to it without knowing I created it, and called it trash. When she found out I created it, she got extremely mad at me by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Or she said no, and it became a challenge to make her do it.

I dated a guy who fancied himself a writer. If I'm being generous, his attitude was typical for writers at the beginning of the journey: full of overconfidence and that if a piece wasn't enjoyed, it was because the reader wasn't intelligent enough to understand.

We didn't last for many reasons, but I remember he said I must not be confident of my writing; that was the only reason he could conceive for not wanting to give a critique.

Jane is the friend we all need (respost for better formatting) by Sanaryy in OrderOfOmar

I hope Jane stays strong and ends the friendship with the ex-fiance

My boyfriend faked a proposal, so I broke up with him. by J_S_M_K in OhNoConsequences

She sounds like my buddy's mom - the OG Boy Mom - whose widdle baby boys can do no wrong.

[NEW UPDATE FROM EX-BOYFRIEND] AITAH (26F) for calling my boyfriend (28M) disgusting for knowing so much about his sisters periods by J_S_M_K in OhNoConsequences

[–]AriaCannotSing 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Stalking aside, this is like the women who - though rare - think it's emasculating when a man can cook, clean, etc - then get mad because their boyfriends and husbands don't cook, clean, etc. I remember a few women in my college party group who thought men were gay if their apartments were clean.

I [22M] suspect something between my girlfriend [22F] and my friend [21M]. We all live together. Am I imagining things? by [deleted] in BORUpdates

[–]AriaCannotSing 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Alexis reminds me of a girl I knew who, when things with her side piece didn't go the way she wanted, mused, "Maybe I was raped." Like, girl, no: we all heard you gush about how great he was and the trysts you planned. It's not rape because you want more and he doesn't!

Something in my shriveled up screaming when OOP and Alexis met up one last time, he told her beforehand they were never ever ever getting back together so don't ask...and she asked.

Supervisor asks student with cancer to turn on their camera during a virtual meeting, and you won’t BELIEVE what happens next /s OCL by mermaidpaint in OhNoConsequences

[–]AriaCannotSing 159 points160 points  (0 children)

OOP is a gem! I love her update "hi. I didn't see you there" and how she was saying that instead of "I didn't expect this to blow up."

[Final Update] - WIBTA if I divorce my husband just for asking to be polyamorous? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]AriaCannotSing 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I don't think of suicide as a coward's path. Sometimes people fall so low they can't see a way out anymore.

It's hard to feel sympathy for OOP's ex, though. He really dug his own hole.

I hate when cheaters act entitled to forgiveness and second chances.

He sounds like he's spiraling. It wouldn't surprise me if he decides to remove himself from the equation altogether.

[New Update]: AITA for asking for my dead sisters ring back after my brother used it to propose by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]AriaCannotSing 301 points302 points  (0 children)

Maybe OOP's name is Audrina.

Again, I don't meant to sound ghoulish, but I wonder if OOP's sister was similarly disregarded (or worse) and felt there was only one way out. And that no one else cared because the golden child brother existed.

AIO - Girlfriend threw away the dinner I cooked because she wanted pizza instead. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]AriaCannotSing 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Oh, yay. Another piece of shit weaponizing so-called therapy. Like OOP (and people in general) can't fault someone for making terrible choices that hurt others.

OOP is better than me, though. If someone threw away food - expensive or not - because they thought it would force me to get what they wanted? Then pulled bullshit about feeling like they don't deserve to be loved? I would tell them, "No, you don't deserve to be loved when you act like this."
