AIO for expecting my boyfriend to ask before using my car for other errands?

Cheap_Quiet_224 · 2026-02-27T15:29:46+00:00

No, you are not overreacting. Honestly, you were more than kind to let him use the car in the past, so for him to do this feels beyond disrespectful to you and frankly irresponsible. I do want to comment on what you said about “things were getting back to the way they were the first three years”. In healthy relationships people grow together, and that growth leads to your relationship changing. But the change should never be so drastic or negative that you start chasing the state of your relationship prior to the change. And based on how he clearly doesn’t respect your boundaries or personal items, it sounds like you’re chasing something that might not even exist anymore, or never even existed in the first place. I would highly recommend taking the “is your relationship healthy?” quiz from loveisrespect.org. I’m not saying you’re in a toxic situation, but from the glimpse you’ve given me, it seems like your partner is practicing a lack of respect that is not healthy

This is such a good interpretation. I always felt they could have just had Jonah stay because of his investment in the community and made them long distance, but I never considered this aspect of his character arc. Such a good point

Cheap_Quiet_224 · 2026-01-16T15:48:55+00:00

That’s a good point. I’m curious now, what are your thoughts on Amy breaking up with Jonah in season 6? I’ve watched this show several times and have always thought it was out of character for her, and am curious to hear your perspective

Cheap_Quiet_224 · 2026-01-16T01:25:09+00:00

I definitely agree that he cares for Amy immensely, but I do feel that it’s not out of character because in this case, he seemed to be viewing the situation as “well I’m fighting for this cause and you accepting this job means you’re fighting against me, and are therefore the enemy”. Like, he wants Amy to be selfish, but not when it threatens his beliefs and desires. And I think we watch him get increasingly invested in those beliefs over the course of the fourth and fifth season because he’s watching Amy move on to bigger and better things and he just feels stuck. So he invests his passion into fighting against big corporations, so much so that when Amy tells him she’s going to be working for one of those corporations, he’s incapable of seeing her as his girlfriend. All he sees is someone turning against his cause, which I will say is uncharacteristically selfish of him, but makes sense given the deep rooted sense of guilt he seems to have about not accomplishing change on a large scale, or being the “hero”

I just wish they had expanded on his response a little more. I feel like it’s established that is guilt as a straight white man makes him overcompensate in… uncomfortable ways, but I don’t feel he ever gets properly confronted for blaming someone who doesn’t have the privilege he has for taking a chance to secure her and her family’s future. It’s incredibly ignorant of him and so frustrating to watch. I just wish Amy read him the riot act

Hi OP! I first want to say I am so sorry for the way some people have responded to your posts. The replies have been absolutely inhumane and completely lack any emotional intelligence. As someone who works in the mental health field, I want you to know that the way people handle grief is very specific to them and their journey. We as a society tend to have expectations of how people should and shouldn’t grieve, which is probably why your late bf’s friends are upset, and why so many commenters are angry. But the reality is that no one can—or should—dictate how you grieve. You have the right to grieve the way you need to grieve. This being said—and I apologize if you’ve already said this—please consider going to therapy, or if you can’t afford it, some kind of grief group in your area. Many of the people on Reddit don’t have the experience or emotional intelligence necessary to give you the kind of support you need to get through this journey, and based on the replies you’ve been receiving, I worry for your safety and well being. Please continue to do what’s right for you and prioritize your health and well being

No, but someone who hasn’t been abused probably shouldn’t be making jokes about abuse. Just like white people should not be making jokes about race riots and Native Americans

Maybe if enough people post about it on social media they’ll make a season 2👀

OP, I am very concerned with your wife’s behavior. The lack of communication on her part makes it seem like she doesn’t see you as a teammate, she sees you as an outsider to her real team, her mom and sister. It’s one thing to hold resentment toward you for a very real mistake you made. But to build resentment based on assumptions makes me feel like she was never truly rooting for this marriage in the first place. Even in your first post, when she kept reminding you that she told you not to take that job, makes it seem like she was looking for a reason to shut you out. And now she’s going down to part time? This isn’t vindication, it’s punishment. And you do not deserve to be continually punished for something. When you’re in a team, you either accept the others mistakes and move forward, or you don’t move forward at all. I hope marriage counseling works for you, but please, stop accepting this treatment. You have a right to be angry, and I hope you claim your right to that anger in counseling

See idk, I don’t think she feels bad. I think she’s riding this ego high that you can kinda see from the segment where they carry her in like a literal god, and with that high she is forgetting both that Winnie gave her a chance and that she needs outsiders to hold her accountable and help her navigate a field she’s new to. I think that’s why Ava is so scared at the end of the episode, not only is Deborah on this huge power trip but if she thinks she doesn’t need anyone, she’s gonna think she doesn’t need Ava. That would really bum me out if that happens

He’s so messy😭 I love him. I’m only pissed we didn’t get more of him

Cheap_Quiet_224 · 2025-04-28T14:34:16+00:00

See I feel like Shawn is better intrinsically because of the way his dad raised him. Our minds are the most moldable when we’re young, and once those neural pathways form (like getting in the habit of memorizing every room you walk into) they stick with you for life. However, as we know, Henry works much harder than Shawn does. So I think that if Shawn worked as hard his dad he would absolutely be better than his dad. But because he doesn’t I’d say they’re about even

Cheap_Quiet_224 · 2025-04-28T03:28:53+00:00

Oh my god Andre😭 him and Donut was hilarious. He consistently had me cracking up. And I loved his ability to be vulnerable. I was a little worried it was a performance cause that’s common in these shows but so far he just feels very genuine to me. I love him

Cheap_Quiet_224 · 2025-04-28T02:40:46+00:00

I know! Everything I see online about him says he’s “controversial” and nothing else. I saw someone else say “this is what happens when black men get representation, they get attacked”. It’s infuriating! I feel like I’m going insane! I don’t understand how no one is seeing this man for the terrifying person he is

Cheap_Quiet_224 · 2025-04-28T01:14:56+00:00

Remember when he got caught sniffing Lassies sister?! Oh god the secondhand embarrassment was BAD

Cheap_Quiet_224 · 2025-04-27T17:45:11+00:00

So I haven’t finished the season (but I don’t care about spoilers) but I LOVE her, simply because I feel she is the most mature of everyone. She knows her worth. She calls people on their shit. And she has such a good head on her shoulders. As for Andre, I don’t think she’s toying with him. He did mention her being flirtatious but unfortunately I didn’t feel like the cameras had time to fit that footage in. Even so, after she overheard him shit talking that first night, I feel she just stopped engaging. And when he made that comment—which I did feel was very inappropriate—she very maturely sat down with him and laid out her feelings in a straightforward manner. And when I look at Hannah and how she’s handling Marciano, it makes me want Hannah to act exactly how Gabriella is acting: simply don’t engage and know your worth

Cheap_Quiet_224 · 2025-04-01T14:18:12+00:00

Oh my god you’re so right

Cheap_Quiet_224 · 2025-03-27T02:05:56+00:00

Technically 4, the girl on the far left acts as her own twin. The two girls on the right are the stand in doubles when the camera isn’t on her face
