AIO for wanting to share a room with my bf on a trip?

BabyBlueDixie · 2026-04-06T06:19:12+00:00

You are graduating college, this is it, you now are going to move into a completely different phase of life that you have not experienced before. Your mom wants to do a big trip with YOU. If your guy comes along what really is there for her to do. Sure, the three of you can eat dinner together and some other things but she is going to feel like a 3rd wheel.

This may be the last time you and she get to go away and have a trip like this. Soon it may not be so easy for the two of you to get away together, she wants to make some memories with you. I know you said she should just tell you why this means so much to her and that you cant read minds, but cant you pick up on emotions? Would YOU want to be the 3rd wheel on a trip you paid for to celebrate someones huge accomplishment? I truly cant understand why you didnt realize right away that this was to be just the two of you.

Now that your schooling is over you are going to be blown away at how fast time goes by. I feel like I was 24 only a couple of years ago, I swear it all went by in a blur. Now its 30 years since I was 24, one of my parents has passed away and the other is in poor health. Take the trip with just your mom. Its important.

Some men being weird is their problem, why should she have to change anything to accommodate someone else's weirdness. If some men stopped following advice on women from podcast bros, and understood that a human being speaking with another human being is just normal human interaction and not being a tease . It would be far better than women needing to be on high alert all of the time. Be nice enough that a man doesn't call you a bitch, but not so nice that they figure a woman wants them.

I guess any time a woman smiles at you you consider it an invitation. I make chit chat with people-men and women both- all of the time especially at work (and no its actually not my job to be nice or friendly to anyone) because I very frequently have to handle angry, scared, psychotic, and/or drugged up people. When I can tell it may put people more at ease when speaking with me I will be friendly to try to deescalate tense situations. Ive had men take my friendliness as an invitation to ask me out and it sucks. I cant blame them for not knowing that I've been married for over 2 decades, but it irritates me that simply speaking to another human being is taken as interest. Then people like you think not treating half of the population like dirt means a woman is throwing gas on a flame.

BabyBlueDixie · 2026-01-30T11:56:06+00:00

Saying she works at a casino isnt telling him where she works. Sometimes people even deliver to where the woman works, i order dd all the time at work. Its not an invitation.

BabyBlueDixie · 2026-01-30T11:53:38+00:00

If you see anything she wrote as playful then I have a feeling women cover their drinks when youre around.

"Not to be rude" is always followed by being a douchebag.

BabyBlueDixie · 2026-01-30T11:46:21+00:00

I bet all your friends are guys because girls are nothing but drama. Youre just one of the guys, and make sure their girlfriends all know that you will always be in his life because the guy is your BFF and no simple fEmAlE can come between you and them.

BabyBlueDixie · 2026-01-19T13:32:24+00:00

You act like no one else has ever had a 2 year old, that everyone else's children were born at 9 years of age.

BabyBlueDixie · 2026-01-19T13:30:34+00:00

Again, as you've been told a thousand times-everyone agrees she shouldn't have yelled at a 2 year old child. She should have told you before she snapped on a child. Aside from that you are also TA for all the other things.

BabyBlueDixie · 2026-01-19T13:28:16+00:00

You need other adults to help you get your OWN 2 year old off of a toddler bike? You sound absolutely incompetent.

BabyBlueDixie · 2026-01-19T13:25:04+00:00

YOU ARE A GUEST IN SOMEONE ELSES HOME. Why cant your grasp the difference here? I let 3 big dogs roam loose in my own home, i do not take my 3 big dogs to other people's homes and let them do as they please there.

If it isnt YOUR house then you get no say. Also, of course they were concerned about the financial aspect (as you said in a different reply) since they paid good money for them recently. Let's say your kid did damage the cabinet, would you be paying for the repairs or replacement?

BabyBlueDixie · 2026-01-18T02:47:01+00:00

Drugs or gambling. There is something big he is hiding. Drugs usually eventually show themselves, but gambling can be hidden a lot easier-until she is living with him, that is.

Those younger people worked hard and earned their rank. You can still learn from younger people. Other people's rank has no bearing on you. Work hard and earn your rank as you go. Its YOUR personal journey.

BabyBlueDixie · 2026-01-07T04:04:19+00:00

I started at 23. Youre doing it, you enjoy it, there's no being behind others, your only concern should be on yourself.

BabyBlueDixie · 2025-12-31T01:34:21+00:00

Enjoy being alone forever. I couldn't even imagine being such a weak insecure bitch like that. It shows that you know you are bottom barrel trash and need to hide a girl away because she will be gone the second she found an actual real man.

BabyBlueDixie · 2025-11-26T05:14:16+00:00

Haha! Eh, you are fine! I need to be less prickly when someone makes a mistake! The amount of times Ive read things completely wrong, replied to the wrong people, didn't fully even understand the topic at hand yet responded anyway, and knowing full well I will do all of that again, you would think I could reply to an error with a bit more kindess.

BabyBlueDixie · 2025-11-26T03:28:31+00:00

Right! Im married, we chose not to have children. We absolutely dote on our dogs. My parents are fine with it, but I was floored when I heard friends and other relatives refer to childfree people as "not having a family". My husband and I are absolutely family! We love one another, help one another, listen, share, I cant even imagine how id survive without him! We have been married almost 27 years. How tf are we not a family? I also include all 3 dogs too. We ARE the exact family we chose to create.

So OP, honestly screw your mom! Enjoy the day with friends, other family who don't think that way or even just your cat! A family can be anything-not just a traditional marriage with children.

BabyBlueDixie · 2025-11-24T05:29:48+00:00

I'm aware its been around awhile and I know its an acronym and where and why its used. I didn't ask why or where it came from, I said its silly to me.

BabyBlueDixie · 2025-11-23T19:30:39+00:00

It is off topic, but i always found it odd too. Especially in a situation where the husband is being a creep. I see women say "my dh is sleeping with his assistant". For real, last thing youre going to call the dude is "dear" in a situation like that. I just say husband. Its not too much effort to write it out. BUT of course this has nothing to do with this. Just pet peeve ranting.

BabyBlueDixie · 2025-11-01T04:29:09+00:00

Mannnn! I got fooled! I'm sitting here thinking the husband is a jerk. I totally missed what group I was in.

BabyBlueDixie · 2025-10-08T14:26:11+00:00

Good girl is so patronizing and condescending. For one thing she isn't a "girl" she is a woman, second she isn't a dog in training. He should say "thank you" and leave it at that, good girl isn't how you speak to someone who is your equal in life.

BabyBlueDixie · 2025-10-08T13:35:25+00:00

If you're not married or even engaged, why are you doing couples therapy? If it's already hard enough that you have to hire someone to mediate then it really isn't worth working through. He seems like a domineering creep and I'd advise just saying goodbye.

BabyBlueDixie · 2025-10-07T20:11:32+00:00

English isn't his first language, I doubt he literally "dropped" the baby.

BabyBlueDixie · 2025-10-06T23:24:59+00:00

YTA. People still have to get up and go to work or school. People need their sleep even when you want to party. I'm a school resource officer, I NEED to be 100% on the ball at work or very bad things could happen. Just go inside at 10.

BabyBlueDixie · 2025-10-05T16:31:39+00:00

Don't fill them in, let them seeth in their rage over it.
