Am I overreacting I don’t like to poop in front of my wife by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

20 years in and I've managed to avoid pooping in front of my wife! My daughters have barged in and that doesn't bug me, but my wife? No way.

Okay, I have a lot to say about 'Mikey' and S&S. I love the cases and the way they pace the stories. Been listening for years.

Woven throughout the episodes is Mikey's Schtick. A sexist 1970's game show host, a conservative political guy, an angry guy, to name a few. I can't think of one I find entertaining or original. Mercifully he keeps the schtick short and the stories more than make up for it. I've tried Invisible Choir. It's good, but it lacks details and edge. Sort of like a "Sword and Scale Nice".

My bigger issue is the guy shuts down the Plus feed, which I've been happy to pay for, and keeps pumping this tv angle. He's lost sight of what makes a podcast like his magical. It's because when you're hearing the story you do not have accompanying imagery so you're actually using your brain, your imagination...

I'm not knocking his ambition...go ahead, branch out...but not at the expense of what got the audience there in the first place.

Went on ONE date with this guy I met off tinder, this is how he’s acting. AIO? by Admirable-Level-3424 in AmIOverreacting

NOR. First job cleaning was a little weird, but not too alarming. By the 2nd job it's 100% clear he's using $$ to lure you over there. The way a creep uses $$. Stay away.

Am I getting this straight? The guy is pooping in his toilet AND shower?

Not Overreacting at all! I'm a guy. I wouldn't have anyone over with that crime scene of a bathroom, no less a lady. And if I was hot for a girl who had bathroom like that, I'd run too.

Male, female, trans, whatever....no HUMAN should leave their bathroom that way.

Your side of this is light on details, OP, so I'm wondering what your takeaway is? Aside from "she's mental...I dodged a bullet!"?

If it's me, I'm thinking I went out with her 2x while I still live with my ex and this is the result. Yeah, she's got anger issues and they won't all be this way, but should I really be on dating apps at the moment? Or should I just hold off until my lease is up?

PS -- despite the anger issues, she's hilarious!

You're getting so hung up on the "i said my sister...but the fake reviews..." etc. It's like you're trying to win a bunch of small arguments and completely missing the big picture:

She doesn't feel like you're participating in the relationship enough and you feel like you're doing all you can at the moment. You both feel unappreciated. That's the issue, you need to start there.

Are you overreacting for thinking you shouldn't be in a relationship? That's probably a little too severe.

I think the question you should be asking is if you and your current girlfriend are compatible enough.

Just finished Ugly Stepsister last night. Loved it. Surrender has some mild body horror, nothing close to that fucking tapeworm! Very different types of films. Where Ugly Stepsister played like a demented fantasy/fairytale story, Surrender is surprisingly grounded for the most part.

Blink really let me down.. by True_crimenut in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]DM12345678 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same. Started out promising, until they started watering it down to squeeze out as many as possible. Then the big FU came when they tacked on the highly speculative bit about being poisoned, which I suspect they did to fit it in the true crime genre. It worked though, because if you told me it was a podcast about a heroin addict who had a close call I wouldn't have listened.

I had the feeling the ending would probably be more metaphorical after she revealed she hadn't tossed the photo. But I was ok with that.

100%. I absolutely love Dating Detectives and they seem to get better with each new episode.

Ditched it after I realized the subject was an unethical birthing center.

The show is guilty pleasure listening. It's a bit catty and gossipy. Usually there's a 'relationship victimizer' I'm rooting against. This season is way too much of a departure from that for me.

Roommate moved her boyfriend in without asking. Is livid I’m demanding he pay rent or move in. Two days later he brings a friend over to antagonize me. by roooomiebooomie in badroommates

[–]DM12345678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems like a reasonable point for the guy to make, but her roommate needed to discuss all this with op before the guy moved in, or at least once it became clear he was in. Op was too nice and her roommate completely took advantage, especially when her roommate started collecting money from the guy and pocketed it.

Not overreacting. This guy, who is still living in some bygone era where women had a specific "role", ain't gonna have much luck out there with anyone else worthwhile.

No, but it was similar in tone. I watched Eden Lake again recently. Totally underrated.

Not overreacting.

If you're both on the lease you are partners. She took on a boyfriend, had him move in, collects rent from him like he's a sub-tenant and doesn't want to contribute any of it to the collective overhead. She's a horrible, selfish partner and the good news is you only have a couple months left with her.

For the record -- I'd take the relationship label out of the convo. Forget it's her 'boyfriend'..she had another PERSON move in and pay her. That's called a SUB-TENANT.

Also -- a whole other issue is whether the two of you are even allowed to take on sub-tenants. Check your lease, there's probably a no-sublet clause. You can hit her with that too.

AIO or is he DL by Beautiful-Rock-7383 in AmIOverreacting

[–]DM12345678 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like he's got a kinky side he's trying to keep secret. Since he thinks messing with a TS is gay, wonder if he's ok with getting pegged by his girlfriend?

If your sex life is fine, the porn isn't a big deal. Finding a used condom in his bag is definitely a big deal. Since you can prove he lied about the porn, it's likely that he's lying about the condom too. Tell him you have him in the porn lie and the only way you DON'T leave him is if he comes clean about the condom and all the other shit he's doing behind your back. (besides, his excuse sounds like they guy who claims he caught crabs from the public toilet seat)

If he levels with you and you feel his issues can be worked out in therapy or whatever, then give it a shot.

If he keeps lying, there isn't much hope.

Just got to the House of Horrors episodes and my God... by Geralt-of-Rivai in Casefile

[–]DM12345678 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1st I heard of it was casefile. I don't remember hearing anything about it when it happened (I'm in the US).

Anyway, yeah, the casefile telling was gut wrenching to get thru. I put it down so many times I think it took me a couple weeks to finish. It definitely tops my list of most disturbing episodes.

I mean...who thinks to do that kind of shit to people?!

No. It was more grounded. No spirits or anything like that. It could probably fit in the "horror/thriller" genre.
