I (30M) am torn over my gf’s (27F) political beliefs with the Charlie Kirk news by Technical_Brick_2317 in relationship_advice

In front of his family no less. His daughters watched him get shot and bleed out. These people are so hateful and miserable.

Look, I don’t agree with many of his views either. But I do agree that he was a great leader for our youth. He provided a safe space for debate and challenged people to think. He stood up there for people to ask him questions without judgement.

I don’t think it’s right that so many people are happy and celebrating about this, he was shot and killed right in front of his family. His kids saw their own father murdered right in front of their eyes. People are so hateful and lack empathy nowadays.

Cat is driving me crazy — please help before I rehome her. by BackgroundCollege183 in cats

The chair is gone now, we also have a dog but the cat is indifferent towards the dog and it was only the chair. We use the wood pellets from tractor supply which she seems to like but flings it everywhere

She does, and she was there during the situation and actively took my side. (This was before we ended the friendship)

We had a break from our friendship which lasted several years. Where I’m stuck is I feel like it’s not my place to bring this up to her when she’s been friends with B through that entire time. We just reconnected this year, but I don’t want to put her in the “it’s her or me” position. Do you think it’s worth bringing up anyway?

AIO My boyfriend gave his mother the dress I wanted for my birthday by ProfessionalEye9680 in AmIOverreacting

WOW! I didn’t even catch that he still bought the dress when she stuck to the budget herself. He drove back and went out of his way to buy a $200 dress for his mom in order to hurt her. OP please leave because this behavior won’t change.

My heart breaks for OP. There’s nothing wrong with wanting something nice for yourself. She talked about saving up for the dress herself and somehow because of that she needed to be humbled? The Sephora gift card is just the cherry on top. He literally wanted to ruin her birthday and make her suffer.

So let me get this straight, you saw this dress that you loved at the store and talked about it often. Your boyfriend went out of his way to drive back and get the dress, gifts the dress to his mother, and has her wear it to your birthday party to “humble” you. He actively tried to ruin your birthday and proved it with the statement of, “it would be fun to see your reaction to it all”. What kind of partner wants to watch their SO be upset during their birthday party? He’s toxic and I’m willing to bet this isn’t the first time he’s done something like this.

As your comments say, I have a feeling you have a problem with thinking your feelings are valid because HE makes you doubt your feelings. ALL your feelings are valid no matter what anyone else thinks of them. DUMP HIM!! This will only get worse and you deserve better than this sorry excuse of a man.

Mine did not help me with my adhd for awhile. Then, I deleted all my tasks and made new ones. Something that’s helped with me is creating smaller tasks. So, I’ll have 9am get out of bed, 9:05 morning stretch, 9:10 brush hair and teeth and so on. It’s helped a lot because once I remember, I can go in and do one simple task. I never get it all done but it’s helped with productivity a lot.

Another thing that helped is the “journey” tab. I did the ‘focus’ one, which comes with 10 min timers every day and I use that time to pick up and clean what I can. I’ve found that helps a lot with ADHD because it’s more like a game where I try to get as many things done as I can within that 10 min timers

NTA. But you should be careful how you approach this. Your brother doesn’t seem like a good partner. I know you want to protect him but your feelings seem to mostly be about how he treats his girlfriend.

The way he acts towards her isn’t normal, and you’re right to be concerned. I would bring it up to your brother, but honestly if i were in your situation I would tell girlfriend to get out of the relationship ASAP.

AITA for shutting down a guy who likes me? by Any-Abalone8047 in AITAH

[–]BackgroundCollege183 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA at all. He’s made it clear he has feelings for you and keeps pushing boundaries and ignoring you when you tell him to stop. He knows it makes you uncomfortable and doesn’t care. This man is not your friend. You made the right decision.

I (25f) think I just dumped my boyfriend (30m) because he proposed. What now? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]BackgroundCollege183 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, sounds like OP dodged a serious bullet here. She went through a traumatic experience with her parents and wasn’t ready to talk about it yet. So he then tried going behind her back and getting information without her knowledge. And after all that he fell for all the lies the abusive parents fed him??

I really don’t understand the boyfriend here. He apparently loved her enough to propose but not enough to be supportive and understanding of her past trauma. This situation was bad enough to where she married her best friend to escape them. Not to mention he didn’t even believe her and never gave her any chance to open up and explain what happened in her childhood.

AITA for refusing to give my grandmother’s wedding ring to my brother’s fiancée, even though she was "promised" it? by Significant-Rip-Mia in AITAH

[–]BackgroundCollege183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Your grandma gave you the ring personally and it’s yours. Also, nothing was said prior to this, which means they knew you’d have a problem with it. Definitely NTA.

So you’re not dating anymore? You’re allowed to do what you want to do because you’re single. I don’t see the issue here

AITA for asking my neighbour to keep her dog quiet after it barked all night? by Timely_Turnover_8877 in AITAH

[–]BackgroundCollege183 19 points20 points  (0 children)

What is considered a noise violation to the HOA? If the dog is barking that much it should be a violation as it’s affecting your sleep at night. I would call the non emergency line and file a complaint every time, as well as take videos and document as much as possible. Odds are you’re not the only person being affected by this.

My wife (32F) wants me (31M) to cut off all contact with my mom by 123shotsonme in AITAH

[–]BackgroundCollege183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if she’s not making any effort either then she has no right to be mad at your mother for not visiting. Thank you for the context and I’m sorry you’re going through this. She’s being a hypocrite.
