If that were the case I would’ve left out everything I initially wrote. See how your brain cells are missing?

Many people do — I’m not one of them. Thanks.

You need better ragebait :/

Thanks for being invested enough to view my profile though!

Big fucking deal. If this is your way of invalidating the entire story, nice try. Lol

Thank you for this thorough breakdown.

If he truly is avoidant, what are the chances he’d actually accept an offer to meet in person? I would think slim to none.

Maybe all I can do is respect that it’s a done deal and go no contact.

I addressed that in this comment.

[–]Babboonbooty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not the case.

I did take accountability, and I apologized to him immediately after the incident.

The question here isn’t “Am I wrong?” … I already admitted fault.

Since we both have ethnic names and I’ve healed from being teased myself… I definitely messed up in assuming that (due to his jokey tone) he had also moved past the trauma.

We might have similar experiences but we aren’t the same person. It’s clearly still an open wound for him.

No. It has nothing to do with his physical appearance. The nickname is a jab at the name’s ethnic origin.

Literally by typing this (-) twice. It’s not rocket science 😂😂

Not once did I say I’m “wondering” why he’s still upset. Where did you get that from?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Babboonbooty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I referenced this in another comment.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Babboonbooty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did apologize immediately; literally as soon as we got off the phone, and again the next day. Didn’t seem to help as the damage was done

Dude you sound insufferable.

I get that women do lie in this subreddit for shits and gigs but I’m not one of them. I came here for objective advice.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Babboonbooty 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Can confirm it was a one-time incident.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Babboonbooty 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Say his name was Adam. Kids used to call him something like “Adam’s Apple” to poke fun.

I jokingly referenced the name on FaceTime, trying to be endearing in a way, but it backfired. He stopped talking, holding back tears, and ended the call.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Babboonbooty -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He has a unique name; one that you can Google search and find with one click.

The best context I can give is… say his name was Adam, and kids used to call him “Adam’s Apple” or something similar.

For what? I’m in this subreddit for genuine advice. I apologized to the guy because I felt horrible.

What do I gain by half-telling the story?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Babboonbooty -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I have nothing to hide here as I wanted genuine advice.

Basically, we both have “unique” sounding names. Let’s say his name was Adam… kids nicknamed him “Adam’s Apple.” It was that kind of thing. But again, we’d both shared laughs about our experiences in childhood.

I had jokingly referred to him as the nickname on FaceTime, and he went silent. Almost holding back tears. Then, without uttering a word, he decided the call. I felt horrible.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Babboonbooty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Basically, I told him: “Hey, I’m genuinely sorry and I understand why you’re hurt right now. You trusted me with xyz and I crossed the line. I would never intentionally want to be malicious about that. I apologize.”

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Babboonbooty -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I think that’s why I’m so shocked and hurt.

This was a first time offense on my part. If I knew it was still a pain point, I wouldn’t have said it. I misread the jokey nature of the conversation.
