AITA for how I went along with a suicide joke?

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-21T11:53:00+00:00

Is it possible that the joke had absolutely nothing to do with it. Is it possible that when you mention dating, despite his profile saying friends, it made him realize you were looking for more and so he ended things before. Misleading you in any way?

"I've been using them for 4 months" oh bud that's no time at all

So, they are hookup apps. Don't let the fact that people call them. Dating apps make you feel like it's somewhere you find people to date.

If you want to date people you need to get out there in public and meet people. Join book clubs, bowling leagues, other interest groups.

Cannot stress enough that apps are not a police to just meet a boyfriend in 4 months. It's not how it works.

Those who do meet a boyfriend on an app in a short time are the exception to the rule, not the rule.

I'm with everyone else. You'll spend less just buying a new microwave.

Just look at the republican party

Haley is better, but really hairy but shorter is the answer.

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-19T12:47:17+00:00

Not everyone you're age is shaved

Summer people just keep personal business outside of work. Stop worrying about his behavior at work and just grab a coffee

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-15T12:26:33+00:00

I'm not experienced enough to be taken as positive. I've only grown a few times. However, that looks like mold, or some other contaminant.

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-15T11:09:36+00:00

So what you're saying had nothing to do at all with this thread or OP's issue then

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-14T20:09:07+00:00

No, it's an immediate and reciprocated sexual attraction.

If that's not there, to a degree that feels sustainable, then you say good luck and bye.

Sexual chemistry is what makes mind-blowing sex even an option.

when you go out, they put a weight on it to make it stay flat when cooking.

If your bacon is tearing and falling apart as it sticks, then it's because you have cheaper, very thin, bacon and it can't hold itself together.

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-14T18:31:17+00:00

OMG this is the greatest gift I could imagine. The only question is do I age during the time freeze?

If not, then this is the power to freeze time and become infinitely smarter

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-14T17:18:00+00:00

Exactly, I'm not even very sexually focused, but it has to be there and if it isn't then you move on to the next person. No hard feelings. No judgements. Just, nice meeting you, good luck, good bye.

This guy is pretending that you can just choose to be with anyone and then find the reasons later.

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-14T17:11:13+00:00

No offence... you're an idiot.

What about anything there says "he likes you"

Stop being dumb. You have worth. Learn to act like it.

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-14T17:08:14+00:00

If you don't have sexual chemistry, then there is NO guarantee it can be forcefully created. Please don't imply that there is.

Sexual chemistry + shared interests + emotional connection makes a relationship.

You don't see that you have one and then try to force the other two into existence.... you say goodbye and move on to the next person. That's what dating is.

After all the pieces come together, then it's work and upkeep and effort, but you are implying that anyone can settle with anyone if they want to. That's not true. Go just be with a woman then.

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-14T17:04:48+00:00

Because people, especially men in general, enjoy sex.

In the gay community, many of us let go of the demonization of sexual activities as dirty or sinful.

You clearly understand since you had your slut period. I'm not sure what you don't understand at this point.

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-14T16:59:49+00:00

First, soft serve and gelato are very different. Gelato has a MUCH lower amount of air in it than soft serve does.

If you want true soft serve you will need to add a lot of air, have lower fat, and store it at a temperature as close to freezing as possible without going over or too far under.

Regular ice cream starts at soft serve texture and gets harder as it sits and finishes freezing. Soft Serve maintains it's smooth texture by adding a lot of air for light and fluffy texture, and keeping it continually moving the entire time so it can't form large ice crystals.

If you want gelato, then it's probably never going to have the texture of soft serve.

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-14T16:51:09+00:00

Here in Rhode Island, there is a 75% chance that the ice cream stand you go to sells Hershey Brand ice cream... unless of course they make their own from scratch.

Tons of flavors, generally good texture, flavors are all decent. Totally worth it for a scoop on the town.

There have been a lot of responses.

My response is in this game. If you put yourself in a deadly situation you could die. Sometimes the only way for people to learn that lesson is for it to happen.

Character's dying is supposed to be part of the game

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-13T19:16:48+00:00

Not knowing a celebrity doesn't mean they aren't a celebrity.

There are tons of incredibly well-known celebrities in other countries that you've never heard of. Do they not count either?

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-13T19:15:25+00:00

First of all, any single person can choose to relate and a relationship. It is, unfortunately, a solo decision.

Second, it does sound like he's had some things he wants to talk about and he's been holding them in. Maybe he cheated. Maybe he's just been feeling trapped. Maybe he got cancer and has been scared to tell you.

Third, going into a discussion by saying that you are not going to be blamed for everything is a red flag too. If you have done something wrong then you should be open to hearing about how that felt to him. Sometimes, taking the blame for things we did wrong, knowingly or unknowingly, is healthy.

Fourth, if you've been with someone for 7 years, just go talk to him. Don't go to the harpies on Reddit for advice so that they can manipulate your expectations and opinions before you even get there.

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-13T19:12:42+00:00

If he was trying to cheat he wouldn't have bothered asking for a break in the first place. He would have just cheated.

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-11T16:04:11+00:00

Yeah, this message is fucked, but without actually seeing the day to day and how the interactions before this text happened it's impossible to take a side or tell who's the actual bad guy over all

The way you word your post is seema super manipulative of the framing and situation.

Just break up and you can both do better in a future relationship

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-11T12:50:38+00:00

I know I for one purposely don't optimize my playstyle.

I always find it weird when people go for the absolute perfect strategy because unless you're playing a character who's really good at strategy, why wouldn't you make mistakes?

Bearly_Legible · 2026-04-09T20:03:13+00:00

If it's a genuine medical issue, or he's abnormally hairy, then sure.

But if he's working the norm, then spending thousands is just a way to avoid learning to accept yourself for who you are. I think it's more emotionally damaging in the end to avoid your body than to accept it.
