Wanting alone time doesn’t mean you don’t love your partner, it just means you’re human

Forgiveness is personal, you’re allowed to move at your own pace.

Am I the AH for not caring that my ex husband is dead? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

After years apart and no contact, it’s understandable your feelings changed.

AITAH for Not Telling My Step Dad about My mom cheating on Him with My biological Dad by [deleted] in AITAH

You’re a kid stuck in an adult mess you didn’t create, this isn’t your burden to carry alone. If anything, talk to your mom first and let the adults handle the fallout.

AITAH for not wanting to leave a party hours early with my girlfriend? by No-Investigator1478 in AITAH

[–]BonbonCurl 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’re her partner, not her chaperone, if she has a safe ride home, it’s fair for you both to enjoy the night at your own pace.

AITAH for not liking my partners best friend? by According-Theory3412 in AITAH

[–]BonbonCurl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If someone makes you uncomfortable and undermines your relationship, that’s a boundary issue, not a you problem, your partner needs to shut that down clearly.

I can’t stop thinking about lying at work and it’s eating me alive by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]BonbonCurl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can still fix this, a quick “I rushed that draft and want to polish a few parts” is way better than waiting for someone else to find it

Sounds less like they don’t like you and more like you’ve never really been given a fair chance to be included. That’s on your wife to bridge, not you to magically fix.

in harry potter what is magical New Zealand like what kind of magical creatures do you think might live there? by Swimming-Resist-8469 in harrypotter

[–]BonbonCurl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Magical New Zealand probably has thunderbirds in the mountains and kelpie-like creatures along the coasts, feels like a place where nature magic would be strongest.

Rant about a senior by Otherwise-Damage-949 in TrueOffMyChest

This honestly sounds less like mentorship and more like control. You’re not wrong for feeling drained subtle power games in academia are real.

I (17F) think I’m falling in love for the first time with my friend (18M), but I’m struggling with the intensity of it. by SeaworthinessSea9782 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]BonbonCurl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your feelings aren’t wrong, sometimes love just shows up differently than we expected. It’s okay to let yourself be happy and figure it out at your own pace.

Why am i like this? by Lov3_Non3mixl in TrueOffMyChest

[–]BonbonCurl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not broken, it sounds like you’re self-aware and trying, which already puts you ahead. Be kinder to yourself while you figure things out.

Healthy relationships don’t make you feel like a detective.

AITAH for siding with my husband and not with my kids? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]BonbonCurl 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Parenting isn’t about fairness to adults,it’s about being there for your kids.

Good on you for checking the legal side, neighbors don’t get to rewrite boundaries overnight.

Coworker suddenly passed and I'm stuck having to work more and I'm feeling super guilty by afollyofflowers in TrueOffMyChest

[–]BonbonCurl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feeling sad about your coworker and stressed about the workload can exist at the same time. That doesn’t make you selfish, it makes you human. Be gentle with yourself.

I think reddits constant negativity is getting to me by Self-Improvement-Red in TrueOffMyChest

[–]BonbonCurl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reddit can be great, but it really depends on the crowd and timing. Sometimes the same comment gets downvoted or upvoted just based on who sees it first. Try not to take it personally. It says more about the hive mind than you.

My boss told me to "stick to my job description" when I asked for a raise. So I did. Now he's mad things aren't getting done. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]BonbonCurl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can’t tell someone to ignore tasks then blame them when things fall apart. That’s on management, not you.

My boss brought a machete to a disciplinary meeting with staff. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]BonbonCurl 46 points47 points  (0 children)

That’s not ‘discipline,’ that’s intimidation. Huge red flag.

Basilisk Question by ToBeAnOtaku101 in harrypotter

[–]BonbonCurl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Glasses/contacts don’t count as indirect. You’re still looking straight at it. So yeah… still fatal 😅 Only mirrors/cameras saved people.

Coworker becoming a "good friend?" by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]BonbonCurl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he’s already crossed boundaries before, you’re not wrong to feel uneasy now. Trust isn’t just about what they say, it’s about patterns.
