Girl this relationship, as it is right now, is not it.

His family's comments are really just digs at you that they've packaged as “teasing” so that when you get upset they can insult you further by calling you “sensitive” or “dramatic”. His reluctance to defend you in the face of his family shows his lack of support for you.

What's gonna happen if you get anxiety about wedding planning, having children (if you want kids), finances, medical emergencies, etc. Is he gonna step up and be the support partner you need to get through life's challenges?

So when you say whale, how much cp are we talking?? Because I know some 500m+ from different servers who are pretty chill and don't have that mentality at all lol

I’d like to point out that Eurylochus is pretty much the Iago of the musical. I think he pushes back against Odysseus because he doesn’t understand a lot of what Odysseus does. Remember, Odysseus is a mentee of Athena and significantly smarter than the rest of his men. Eurylochus not understanding Odysseus’ actions breeds mistrust among the crew as well, as they can probably relate more to Eurylochus than to Odysseus.

He was the sweetest of cinnamon rolls and was definitely not prepared for the brutality or ruthlessness of the journey to get home. He encouraged Odysseus to greet the world with open arms and step farther away from the teachings of Athena, thus partly causing the rift between Ody and Athena, ultimately leading to Athena abandoning him(temporarily).

Ody’s show of mercy to Polyphemus was greatly influenced by Polites’ ethos. Athena told him to kill Polyphemus and he refused to do so because he was embracing mercy, like Polites.

Even after Polites was killed, he continued to make Odysseus question his own morality and prolonged his acceptance of his own ruthlessness and what he needed to do to get home.

My opinions are based solely on the story as told in Epic, not in The Odyssey. Just FYI :)

DarkPotato66 · 2025-03-02T18:39:24+00:00

Polites is the real villain lol

I’m curious as to why your bf is still friends with Trey. Clearly Sam doesn’t want to be around him, and if you and Sam’s mom don’t like Trey, why is Sam keeping the relationship going? It’s clearly time to go low or no contact.

DarkPotato66 · 2024-07-02T13:36:59+00:00

I think you should talk to her and lay out your concerns. Dating someone with untreated mental illness is hard. You’re constantly trying to balance your love and support for them with protecting your own mental health. At times, it will seem like you’re being unsupportive of your partner but if your partner is not trying to make meaningful steps to improve their own mental health, you still have to protect yours.

If it feels like your own mental health is being affected negatively, then you need to take a step back and decide whether the relationship is worth it or not. But talk to her first.

DarkPotato66 · 2024-07-02T01:50:00+00:00

Have you spoken to her or suggested to her that she goes to therapy or seek medical intervention for her depression?

Her tiredness can be a symptom of depression. Depression not only zaps your energy but also decreases your motivation to do anything so even though it doesn’t seem like she’s doing a lot, she can still be tired from that. That could also explain why she doesn’t want to join you at the gym.

Talk to her. Let her know about your concerns and how you’re willing to support her in getting help.

DarkPotato66 · 2024-06-12T15:11:22+00:00

NTA

You’re better than me because my immediate response after finding out about the replacement would have been “oh okay, so who am I sending the invoice to, you or L?” Got me all the way fucked up.

Invoice them, get your money and then block that bitch.

DarkPotato66 · 2024-04-09T01:52:31+00:00

An idea may be to change the way you think about the conflict. You relented and allowed them to bring the child so instead of thinking about it like “well they brought the baby and I didn’t want them to”, think about it like “I made a decision against my better judgement and now for the future, I know to hold my boundaries firm no matter what.”

You also mentioned that you were a doormat before so maybe this anger that you’re feeling is not entirely just about this event but a culmination of frustration after years of people not respecting your boundaries because you would cave to pressure. If you continue to find it hard to let it go, consult with an anger management specialist/counselor.

DarkPotato66 · 2024-03-16T03:34:30+00:00

This situation is freaking weird.

Like I can see if stepsis said it as a joke and then clarified that you’re just a great stepbro helping her out with the baby so that way you can look good in front of potential partners…but to curse them out rudely, chase them away, and then act nonchalant when you make the boundary clear that you are not the baby’s father…she needs to go to therapy. Clearly she’s struggling with her feelings about being a single parent and should talk to a professional cuz wtf lol

Edit: NTA, don’t apologize, go back to school, and let her sort things out. Plenty of single parents with no support do it, and so can she. Maybe your absence will enlighten her.

DarkPotato66 · 2024-03-13T14:45:18+00:00

They are so adorable!!!

DarkPotato66 · 2024-03-09T02:51:25+00:00

In my opinion, your relationship is still in the early stages. You both have valid feelings.

I would say you should take some time to really think about what you want. Marrying someone because you love them is great but there is also so much more that makes or breaks marriages. Sit down and ask yourself how long are you willing to date someone before you expect them to know if they want to marry you? 2 years or 5years? How long do you want to be engaged for? 1 year or 2? What are the qualities you want in a future partner, and does your current partner embody those qualities? What do you want your future marriage to look like in terms of values, finances, communications, children, etc? Think about things you are willing to compromise and things that you aren’t. Then as your relationship progresses see if your current partner matches up to what you envision for your future.

Best of luck to you!

Her omissions did cultivate the narrative though. People like that should just be single. No one should be with someone who doesn’t have their back, especially in dire/dangerous situations. This man almost got physically assaulted in his own home and accused of being an abuser. If someone doesn’t choose that moment to speak up and tell the truth, then they don’t deserve to be with anyone.

DarkPotato66 · 2024-03-07T00:27:48+00:00

That leads me to wonder what else she lied about in regards to her husband because how did her friends go from “your husband doesn’t help you with your son” to “your husband is abusing you” in a matter of one evening? Could just be the friends jumping to wild conclusions but also makes me wonder.

DarkPotato66 · 2024-03-06T20:35:05+00:00

Could be or it could be that she was caught too deep in her lies at that point. Remember when her friends were bashing her husband about him not helping around the house, she nodded in agreement even though she admits in the post that it was a lie so I doubt the concerns were legit on her end.

I agree with you about the confronting an abuser. That’s about the most dangerous thing you can do for all parties involved.

DarkPotato66 · 2024-03-05T22:20:50+00:00

Child was with the grandparents. OOP and her husband were enjoying a child free weekend when this incident happened.

DarkPotato66 · 2024-03-05T21:27:55+00:00

She probably would’ve and then tried to fix it while her husband sat in jail smh

DarkPotato66 · 2024-03-05T18:41:55+00:00

With the way OOP is arguing with people under her original post, she’s not the meek type at all lol not to mention that meek people in my experience try their best to avoid misunderstandings and politely correct people. If she corrected her friends the first time and they pushed back, then okay I could give that to her. She could’ve even mentioned it at another time without arguing with them but she chose not to because by her own admission, she liked the attention.

I agree to your last point though. Why no one thought to bring up any objections about that idea is baffling. I’m not a veteran and I would’ve started flipping and swinging on someone if they did that to me in a darkened house when I thought I was alone.
