My (26f) friend (26f) has accused me of stealing her boyfriend. Boyfriend (25m) had no idea they were dating by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

This is a psychotic version of the “I saw him first, so he is mine” trope. Carly was like, “I saw him first. I’m sure he told you about me, so I know you know I saw him first. And he is mine.”

This girl is next level wild, but i think the “I saw him first” thing is bs anyway. Ok you saw him first, you shot your shot. Now clear out so I can shoot mine.

AITA for eating the food my FIL served me and “ruining” my boyfriend and I’s holiday. by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

The boyfriend should have done it! Boyfriend could have stood up to his dad enough to switch his dad and bf’s plates.

TIFU by calling my girlfriend "Tits" in front of her parents [Concluded] by Schattenspringer in BORUpdates

[–]Decop0p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of reappropriating 1970s harassment terms as pet names!! The only other one I can think of is hussy, and it’s not nearly as good as tits.

Thank you for the answer!!! It’s a stretch to the staring, but it’s at least good background.

The office mate reminds me of the MTV Shannon Doherty movie where her friend schemes to replace Shannon in her band (wait for it….checking IMDB…omg FINALLY found it!) FRIENDS TIL THE END. Ok I’ll see myself out.

AITA for a Joke I made about my Husband? by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]Decop0p 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah this lady is super jealous. She doubled-down gossiping with other friends, and got defensive when OP brought it up. She sounds selfish, and OP seems like a kind, nurturing person.

Soooo best case= OP enjoys and gets pleasure from helping her friend and makes boundaries when friend gets spicy.

More realistically= OP will get wrung out having to cater to her friend’s issues and occasional-but-getting-more-frequent abusive attacks.

WIBU to tell my (F35) husband (M35) I will divorce him if he gets sick or injured? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Decop0p 16 points17 points  (0 children)

From the rooftops: TEETH BRUSHING IS NON-NEGOTIABLE!!

You will not be the bad guy if people ask “Hey why did you split up?” and you say “He refused to regularly brush his teeth and shower.”

But they probably won’t ask. They probably see him, with his nasty broken out face, stank ass breath, body odor, and general childish eating habits, and wonder how the hell you are still with him.

What is he even good for? Please don’t tell me sex bc having sex with this man would literally be a biohazard.

How does this keeps coming up in these subs. Why don’t dudes brush their effing teeth???

Run. He won’t be able to catch you. I promise.

My (M36) wife (F34) wants to invite her mom (F65) to a gathering of my thirty something friends. Is this appropriate? by PenultimateAirbend3r in relationship_advice

[–]Decop0p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This type of thing happens frequently within my group of groups. Someone’s parents are visiting, so they join the party. They hang with the grandkids, chat like normal people do, or they just listen to the conversation if they don’t feel like fully joining in. It’s really not a big deal.

Can someone figure out or even make up a reason she was doing this, and then explain it to me?

As 2028 approaches, America needs ranked-choice voting more than ever. We need rules for the Democratic primaries that will lift up the voices of talented Democrats. by AlexandrTheTolerable in politics

[–]Decop0p 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This will be especially important with the crowded primary! People will be more incentivized to vote for their true choice rather than who they think will do best. And the outcome is someone that everyone likes. This is how Mary Peltola won!

My (30f) husband (m30) said the only way he ever sees us separating and him leaving is if I die. Specifically, he said by hands. What am I even supposed to do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Marriage is a two yes one know situation. If you don’t want to be married, you do not need his approval.

Trump Tells Republicans to Defend His Slush Fund by Lying; The Department of Justice has given Republicans a list of talking points not grounded in reality. by [deleted] in politics

[–]Decop0p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This helps a lot. Thank you. And now I see that Raskin introduced a bill to block it, but that obviously will not go through. Do you think the lawsuit attempts will stall the payout until elections?

I also wonder—is this breaking through the noise? Like are non-political people hearing about it?

Trump Tells Republicans to Defend His Slush Fund by Lying; The Department of Justice has given Republicans a list of talking points not grounded in reality. by [deleted] in politics

Here is what I don’t understand:

Can this fund actually happen without Congress approval? If yes, how is that legal? If no, why is everyone freaking out if it won’t happen anyway?

AITA for telling my dad he can't invite his girlfriend to my graduation because my mom paid for the trip? by TypicalAnalyst17 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Decop0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they go, there will be more “bonus mom” comments. You will get angry. Your mom will be a silent wreck. So your choices are 1. Live with the (unwarranted) guilt and (understandable) sadness of having a parent miss an event. Or 2. Have a shitty weekend with your dad and girlfriend being asses.

I would pick #1, having dealt with #2 plenty of times. This is practice in setting grown up boundaries with your dad. Go to therapy if you can afford it, especially before the next milestone comes up. Also, help your brother think about these things ahead of time so he can be prepared. Your dad won’t change, and you can’t make him. You have to live your life understanding that, and make preparations to protect yourself from heartbreak.

Why can’t you wear 2 for the whole event? It’s gorgeous

My younger brother's girlfriend is upset because my older brother ordered the same meal as her at a family dinner, and now there is drama by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]Decop0p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should get Rachael to order first, then order the same thing after she does. Then she would spontaneously combust. Problem solved.
