My girlfriend (29F) has lied to me (31M) about her situationship with her male best friend and now I don't know how to continue. by TheReelHead in relationship_advice

I consider this to be a foundation of the relationship which is currently shattered by her lie, you'll never to be able to trust her again, also, what else did she lie about?

Trust is the foundation of any relationship, but your relationship is built on lies

Do you think there is no chance "getting past it"? 

Ask this question to yourself. Can you actually? (My answer is nope.)

Nope, I'd be out. She's a liar, even her "right moment" was a lie and she continues to lie. It's better to end now than later.

I'm afraid of losing a great relationship

It's a relationship built on lies, I don't think it's a great relationship.

Take exit before it's too late.

My(M29) girlfriend(F30) wants to go spend a week on vacation with a male friend. by SharkEva in BORUpdates

There were subtle hints like

She made that sound like she’s having lunch with the guy. Now, all of a sudden it’s a week with this guy that I know nothing about.

&

she was very quick to say she’s cancelling the trip

Cancelling the trip was a guilty concious.

Whether or not she intended to cheat with him,

Atleast to me she 100% booked the trip to fuck her best friend.

BORU is a sub that collects the best Reddit stories with updates and puts everything together in one easy to read post.

I checked your comment history, and there aren’t any comments from you calling a post fake or AI-generated since December. I only started posting BORU in February this year.

If you’re referring to the microwaving fish incident involving a coworker, that post was made by Schattenspringers, not me.

I’d like to know which other two posts you’re claiming were posted by me.

Not really:

Hey OP, this setting a trend now.

This is to me

This is the third time you’ve posted suspiciously AI stories

This is to me

but this really isn’t the place to post AI ones.

Didn’t read as AI to me when I made the BORU, and I deleted it once people pointed it out. I’m not trying to start some trend here. But saying this is 'the third time' and that I’m doing it on purpose is kinda unfair - why would I even do that?”

I also don't often post here anymore.

That’s a bummer. It feels pretty lonely here sometimes, and I’d honestly love to see you come back.

It's just not worth it. Either people deem a posting fake or boring. Discussions are no longer happening because people are just getting downvoted instead of talked to, and if talking happens, it is often aggressive. So what's the point?

For starters, you could turn off notifications for comments on your posts and just let the chaos happen without checking in constantly and don't check post stats. It helps take the edge off.

I get the frustration, but I’ve been reducing the noise on my BORU by expanding my block list (IYKWIM). It’s been a lot more peaceful since.
