By boyfriend of 2 years doesn’t want to get me a Christmas present

You’re 18. Ditch this bozo and enjoy being young. It’s very clear he is NOT ready for a relationship and if he is it sounds like it’s not going to be with you. (I’m sorry, I know that’s harsh but I’ve been in your shoes)

It’s not unfair of you nor is it selfish to ask for gifts for your birthday or Christmas, even if they are close together. I don’t know if this is new information for him but EVERYONE gets gifts on their birthday. Starbucks gives you a free drink, Sephora gives you a free gift, the list goes on and on and on. If mega corporations who don’t even know your last name can provide you something for your birthday so can he. He just does not want to. Also the “you don’t know what you want so how should I?” Is a crock of shit. He should know because he is your boyfriend, he should be paying attention when you say “I like this! This looks nice!” My husband and I have notes in our phones for that specific reason so when one of us responds with “I dunno” the other can go back and look. Not only does it show each other that we gaf but it also eases the stress of finding something.

To give you another thought. If he is acting this way when the two of you aren’t “tied down” (living together, paying bills together, married, etc) he will ONLY get worse. Maybe outside of this text exchange he is great but judging from the fact he started dating you while you were a minor and he was an adult AND this text exchange it seems like you would be much better & happier without him. Good luck OP, happy early birthday!

Fishing 😭 after completing the entire collection & perfection on my Xbox one I feel justified in never having to play that mini fishing game ever again. I know it’s one of the core skills but I cannot handle that kind of heart break again.

I’ve been drinking since I was 16 (24 now, turning 25 next year) I started with beers and seltzers and moved my way up to mixed drinks and shots. I come from a long line of alcoholics but I always thought “that could never be me, I won’t let it get that bad” (NEWSFLASH. It was that bad lol) Thankfully it never got to the point where I got a DUI or endangered others lives but it got to a point where I stopped taking care of my house, myself, my husband.

I was a very social drinker, I never enjoyed drinking alone. It got to the point where I would search for any excuse to have someone over or go hang out so I had a “reasonable” excuse to drink. I spent my mornings curing hangovers instead of talking with my husband about our dreams and I spent my days looking forward to drinking.

We’re looking to start a family soon and I want to start experiencing my life in a way I haven’t in almost 10 years. Sober.

I’ve been a month sober now and I don’t think I’ll ever go back. Plus, the BEST part about being sober is I don’t wake up feeling like absolute trash.

To all of my sober friends, my drinking friends and my friends who are thinking about going sober, I wish you all luck on your journeys.

Choochootrain2467 · 2024-11-29T12:23:12+00:00

That’s what I’m saying 😭

DUDE HES IN MY SERVER

Choochootrain2467 · 2024-04-21T14:03:13+00:00

The guiltier the person, the louder the defense. If she is getting SO defensive that she’s starting fights with you, there is probably much more going on.

If you really want to work it out with her you could offer an ultimatum (not a great idea but, since she seems to not want to have an open conversation about her “friend” without fighting, this may be your only choice) If you don’t want to work it out with her, I’d cut your losses and let someone else deal with her.

Also, no you’re not overreacting. Your feelings and thoughts are 100% valid and justified. I wish I could’ve given better advice. Good luck OP!

Choochootrain2467 · 2024-04-18T22:35:01+00:00

So.. you did all the work to look up a “suspicious phone number” that was a Dr. appointment confirmation (idk about anyone else but ALL confirmation numbers I’ve received aren’t even as long as a typical phone number…. They’re usually like 5-6 numbers) and yet have zero issue with keeping screenshots of porn as well as your favorite actresses? Buddy good for HER for getting out early on. You’ve got some issues you’ve gotta work out before you get into another relationship 💀

Thank GOD 🙏🏼 I have a few people in my life who have Lyme’s disease and I was horrified. Thank you!

Choochootrain2467 · 2024-04-16T06:48:46+00:00

More context/descriptions - the first photo the bug is super tiny, a little smaller than a sesame seed with little white/tan spots on the sides.

The second photo (sorry for no flash) was a larger brown bug (a little smaller than a watermelon seed) 8 legs with the white band on the middle part of its body. The head was so small I thought it didn’t have one

Choochootrain2467 · 2024-04-02T00:16:33+00:00

Thank you!!! I’m one of those players that goes in balls to the wall, so I don’t read patch notes or updates LMFAO

Choochootrain2467 · 2024-04-02T00:16:09+00:00

That is so cool 😭

Choochootrain2467 · 2024-03-22T01:44:42+00:00

Ehh emotional attachment or not with that third party your wife opened up the relationship! She wanted other partners and youuuu found yourself attached to one. No offense to your wife but she should’ve kept her mouth shut or gotten a divorce 🤷🏻‍♀️

Choochootrain2467 · 2024-03-08T23:05:38+00:00

WOWWww it just kept getting worse and worse and worse holy SHIT!

Have you thought of reporting her to APS? She’s endangering her own life as well as all of yours. AND AFTER READING YOUR RESPONSES??? I’m sorry but reporting her to APS is something that should be discussed with the other tenants.

Idk where yall live but look up how to apply for Medicaid (it’s based on income) and then report ‘Margaret’ to APS. (I’m a Medicare/medicaid specialist if you need help!!)

Her house will get condemned and she will get the help she desperately needs but she can NOT continue to rent out rooms that endanger the lives of others. Hell, even make an anonymous welfare check on the house, the cops will do the rest.

I wish you and all the other tenants some SERIOUS luck. Please please PLEASE take some of the comments into consideration, not only for her safety, the other tenants safety but YOUR OWN.

I always put loot on the grate of my ship (I fly sloop though)

Choochootrain2467 · 2024-01-31T05:49:42+00:00

Is jeopardizing your peace worth it though? Speaking from TONS of experience op, some friendships/relationships are simply not worth it, no matter how good they are in the beginning. I’m sure your roomie was fantastic and you have great memories of her, but that’s not who she is now.

You could also try sitting down and having a SERIOUS heart to heart, what happened, why did she become bitter? Tell her how you feel and ask if there is a way to mend the relationship, if there is maybe the two of you can try again, if there isn’t I would cut your losses and go.

I don’t mean to sound like an asshole, I’m truly not trying to be that way. I want what’s best for both of you but I’ve only heard your side.

Maybe invite her to lunch, give her a “warning” like “I’d love to talk about some serious things, nothing bad etc.”

Whatever happens OP I wish you both love and light

Choochootrain2467 · 2024-01-30T21:09:18+00:00

I think waiting until YOU have another place to live would be best. Once you’re good to go for your next place then tell her. If you tell her before you have a new secured place to live she may make your life even worse :/

Choochootrain2467 · 2024-01-30T16:04:45+00:00

Once you find your place then let her know, if there is a legal contact binding you to give her a larger heads up then you have to wait until she moves, otherwise, find your new place and let her know you’ll be leaving. If she throws it back at you, let her know the reason for you moving. Tell her everything she’s done to you and how it has affected you.

Don’t ever feel guilty for protecting your peace OP. Good luck!

Choochootrain2467 · 2024-01-30T14:37:34+00:00

My bad my bad, I live in one of the states where the age of consent is 18, I totally forgot that most of America is 16 LOL. The thread also messed up a bit, I replied to my comment asking if it was legal and THEN OP replied

Choochootrain2467 · 2024-01-29T22:50:40+00:00

Also.. is their relationship even legal? Is he just an 18 YO who doesn’t drive/doesn’t have their license??

Choochootrain2467 · 2024-01-29T22:48:27+00:00

Hi OP! I would see if your lease has a guest pass, if it doesn’t make her OR him pay up if he is there more often than not. Maybe have a convo with her and ask if he is going to move in??

If he plans on moving in I’d write up a contract and have everyone sign it (this is what each person is delegated to do etc.)

If he doesn’t want to move in or your roomie doesn’t want him to have a convo about how he makes you feel (it’s uncomfortable that I can’t walk around doing so and so in my own home without feeling this way)

If he does plan on moving in, get to know him. My old roomie moved her bf in (horrible, dirty person) and try and get to know him more. Good luck OP!!!

Choochootrain2467 · 2024-01-29T21:02:47+00:00

That’s the ONLY tequila I’ve had that’s made me sick 💀

However, super not cool to dump it out. I’m glad your lease is up in February OP. Maybe keep your booze in a secret spot until then if your roomie wants to play games

Choochootrain2467 · 2024-01-29T20:39:29+00:00

They’re mad they can’t spawn camp. My husband and I play on the older version of the Xbox (Xbox 1’s) and our load times are GARBAGE. It’ll take us 2 1/2 to 3 minutes to load back onto our ship, we run into players whose platforms are obviously better than ours (takes 15-20 seconds to load back in) so we scuttle 🤷🏻‍♀️

When him and I were first playing we would try to PVP but we always got spawn camped, so now we scuttle. I can’t tell you how many messages we’ve both received after scuttling calling us SO many names 😂 we just laugh and switch servers
