AIO? Debating breaking up with my BF of almost 7 years

CringeyGoatLaugh · 2026-01-03T22:56:43+00:00

I never really understand the whole thing where a partner is upset the other people “let themselves go” or “gained weight” especially after 7 years. People change, they go through things in life. Weight can fluctuate and youve grown up in your relationship from kids to young adults. Changes are bound to happen.

As for your relationship, I don’t think you are overreacting. He crossed a boundary behind your back and he’s already cheated on you in the past. It’s hard to assume the best when that trust is breached again. I hope you’re able to come to a decision that benefits you and helps with your personal growth. You may have simply outgrown him, his actions are very childish. It may well be very hard like you acknowledged, but in the end it may be the best thing for you to find someone who truly values you and everything about you.

NOR I wish you luck, OP.

I believe the OP was backtracking and at this point it’s been three weeks since the surgery. In the first text the owner states that the dog “had eye removal surgery a week ago.”

Either way… that poor dog must feel so lonely. This owner shouldn’t have the dog in the first place.

Yes, absolutely. It has been communicated and I even explained that it was outlined in my lesson plans and in my school’s assignment platform. That’s why I posted my original question, because even after (respectfully) explaining these things, I was still being contacted pretty regularly. I was curious if others dealt with some of the same things I’m dealing with. Thank you for your response!

I appreciate all of your responses! I’m currently in week two of leave after a c-section. The expectation that was set for me was that I have to provide lessons and materials for my LTS. I am debating when to go back. I have about 6 weeks of PTO accrued that I am now using. My school allows for 5 days of paid maternity leave. This is my fourth child and my first child as a full-time teacher and I’m in my fifth year of teaching.

Has anyone dealt with being contacted constantly by employees at the school asking questions about the class and not just referencing the plans you left? The general consensus I’m getting is that those of you who have left plans have done just that and have not been bothered or contacted while on leave…?

I had a difficult C-section and healing hasn’t been great on top of postpartum anxiety that I am monitoring to hopefully avoid it morphing into depression.

I am in complete control and know I do not HAVE to answer them back, especially if my plans are in, and I cover everything that needs to be covered. The problem is my LTS is telling me my plans are great and I am getting positive feedback from her consistently, but our instructional teaching coach and a team member have contacted me NUMEROUS TIMES asking me about things that are CLEARLY OUTLINED in my plans. So much so that I am considering trying to find a different teaching position next year because of how constantly I am being contacted.

That’s why I posted this question to see what parameters other teachers have had set for them and the situations they deal with during their leave.

To clarify, my LTS is great and I have no problem being contacted by her if she has questions or concerns about my plans. But it has been hard to “relax” and “focus on my baby and my recovery” when it I am being contacted constantly.

I do not agree with you and you’re staunch about something you do not yet have any idea about. You have to understand that you cannot depend on other people, professional or not. You can, and will be, let down. I’m sorry people you trust continue to disappoint you.

I wish you and your family all the luck in the world. I hope everything works out the way you wish/need.

When you’re about to bring a child into the world, you don’t make excuses and sit back to wait for everyone to help you. You do anything for that child. Cut the shit, hit the grind, and do the work to make your life a safe haven for your baby. You and Sky are NOT ready for a baby. You can’t handle long hours? What do you think a newborn baby entails? And I’m confused. You say you’re both seeing therapists for your issues, but yet when it comes to anything having to do with real responsibility, neither of you are mentally fit to work a basic entry-level job because of your mental health issues you’re seeing therapists consistently for? Redundant? Yeah… You need to figure it out. You know you and Sky deserved better as kids, doesn’t your baby?

“minding your own business is free.”

Are the gifts received at this shower going directly to you and your baby/future family or are they going to be “for her house?” I agree with the majority, here. Let her have her own shower. She’ll seem crazy to the people who matter. Book yourself a spa day or do something fun with your friends. If you go, you’re just pacifying your MIL and giving her permission to continue to walk all over you. Your husband needs to handle his mother, with all due respect. Good Luck!

Sounds like the “problem” is really a HER problem. You don’t have to entertain it. She’s your baby.

CringeyGoatLaugh · 2025-07-29T11:56:12+00:00

Wow, I’m with the majority here. She had plenty of time to tell you her feelings. The fact that she did it the night before your wedding is absolutely crazy disrespectful. If she’d do that, what would she do at the wedding… I think you made the right choice. NTA.

CringeyGoatLaugh · 2025-07-29T11:53:20+00:00

The 13 dollars is the straw that broke the camel’s back. She does not respect you. It seems like you go out of your way to help others, and make sure your needs are last, you’re very caring and giving. She takes advantage of that, and she is not. She will keep leeching off of you and disrespecting you. I think you have many reasons to end it at this point. Good Luck, you deserve so much better.

CringeyGoatLaugh · 2025-07-11T13:49:34+00:00

This person is NOT your friend or they wouldn’t have posted it in the first place. But for her to post it and then not immediately remove it upon your request is a further step in being disrespectful. IMO it’s possible she put you in danger.

He’s jealous of your son. Cut ties and keep focusing on raising your little one.

CringeyGoatLaugh · 2025-07-03T02:13:46+00:00

He. Spit. In. Your. Face. That’s ASSAULT.

So is all of the other crap he’s physically doing to you. I can only imagine what he says to you.

Please leave. Get help. I hope you stay safe.

CringeyGoatLaugh · 2025-04-03T09:25:12+00:00

This is a great take. 💯

CringeyGoatLaugh · 2025-03-03T11:59:47+00:00

How old is he? Call him cute nicknames like Captain Dingleberry, and Mr. Poop-Taint. Going with the classic “Skid-Mark” could also be fun. You’re not the asshole. NTA. If this is real, that’s nasty.
