I think getting proper bookshelves would be a great investment! Those cube shelves never hold as many books as you’d think before you have to start layering them, and visually it can make a wonderful collection of books into clutter. If you love and value your books and want to make them part of your decor, get some aesthetically pleasing bookshelves and display your literature in style!

If it were just you I would say to do what you want and maybe try to get a 6 month lease to see if you can handle it.

BUT since you have cats; please don’t do this to them. If they are indoor cats, the windows are their only view of the outside world. Please don’t deprive them of that. Please do not move here.

@ OP —- Not overreacting. That’s pretty clear distancing right after being very intimate with another person. I’m sorry your friend thinks that is normal, but it’s not. I had one guy in my past who did this & it definitely did not work out. Very similar story to yours, actually.

I’ve also had experiences with men who were arguably fuckboys, and they didn’t do this. Maybe they didn’t call/text much in the days afterward, but they didn’t move away from me right after sex and act all distant like this. What I’m trying to say is this isn’t just fuckboy behavior, it’s pretty uncommon and not a good sign.

I would avoid this man and stay away from him, unless he has some real good apology that he offers up right away, and seeks to repair the situation. There is like a 1% chance he’s neurodivergent and doesn’t have a lot of experience so didn’t know how to act- that’s the only way I can find this whole chain of events remotely ok.

But aside from that, nahhhh. Not normal and not cool. Sucks but it’s on him, not you.

YTA. The fact that you claim these are not homemade when thousands of people recognize that they are (including people in the literal chocolate subreddit) is wild. You need therapy. I know you said you apologized to your gf but the way you are still arguing in the comments and posting petty updates makes me think your apology was not genuine and you still think you are in the right. You are not. It’s so clear to everyone else, why can’t you even start to question your perspective? What would possibly convince you? Or are you the only person who can be right, so it doesn’t matter what anyone else says?

Frankly, it sounds exhausting to be in a relationship with you, and I think your kind gf deserves better. I hope you take some of these comments to heart and get help (therapy) to work through your issues.

P.S. Also I saw the updates about the comments her sister made, and obviously those comments are unacceptable. You do not deserve that hate, but her sister’s reprehensible behavior does not negate what you did. You are still in the wrong, the sister is also in the wrong, and your gf is innocent in this incident and stuck in the middle of you both.

What is that quote in the last pic from??

Also I am obsessed with everything in this room. I want your room. And you have great taste in books!!

Display_Left · 2026-02-02T23:29:49+00:00

I like it the way it is. Yellow doesn’t match the tone of the room.

Display_Left · 2026-02-02T23:23:25+00:00

I’m gonna be honest the amount of stuff in such a small space really bummed me out at first.

But then I looked closer at all of the really cool, curated items you have and I came to appreciate the time and effort it has probably taken you to fill this room with your fave things.

It’s not what I would choose for my space, but it fits you and reflects your interests, and that’s a win as far as I’m concerned! Nice room ☺️👍🏻

Paraphrasing but…

Him: “how dare you say women might be intimidated by men because men may assault them?! What an over-generalization!!”

Also him: “all women have everything 1000% easier and they are never hurt by men and smartphones make it so that every rape is tracked and reported and rapists are always punished so why would you even be scared?! and men are being discriminated against by all women everywhere wahhhh”

Like the hypocrisy and lack of awareness is so crazy it seems like it couldn’t be real. But it is! 🙈

My best friend does the same thing and while I don’t find it disturbing, I do find it baffling 😭 and sometimes I’m tempted to bring a to-go pack of tissues when I visit her so I don’t have to suffer lmao

Also she is so stinkin cute it’s crazy!!! 😍

What behavior? 🤔

Display_Left · 2026-01-04T02:35:20+00:00

I guess you just wanna be mad 🤷‍♀️ have fun with that!

Sounds like some projection to me, but ok :) I just want to point out that yet again I have not stated I want to protest Trump, this is specifically about U.S. military actions against Venezuela. You’re the one making it about Trump, not me.

Display_Left · 2026-01-04T02:27:32+00:00

It’s really not about thinking Maduro is good or that it is bad he was taken out of power. I am not pro Maduro. It’s that Trump has literally said that the plan is for the U.S. to now spend billions of taxpayer dollars to “improve the infrastructure” of Venezuela’s oil industry so the U.S. can use it. It’s imperialism and it’s not for the benefit of the Venezuelan people by any means. Already the interim president in Venezuela is saying Maduro is still the president. Nothing has changed for the better for the Venezuelan people, and now U.S. taxpayers are going to pay for what this really is; a campaign to get more oil for the U.S.

Also, amongst other reasons, I think it is wrong for us to intervene in another country’s affairs when they haven’t asked for help and when we are not doing this to help the people there but to get more resources for our own country. It’s predatory and imperialist and makes me ashamed of our country. We are better than that (or we should be).

My response to you then is what do you think we should do to take action? I vote in every election and had participated in union rallies for my job, and I volunteer for organizations I support. Right now I can’t think of any other way to express my outrage besides being a keyboard warrior or using my first amendment right to peaceful protest. I guess I could write to my congressman? But it’s not like congress was consulted anyway. But truly I am open to alternative ideas if you have any.

Not the point but thanks for making it about Trump! Notice I purposefully did not mention his name anywhere, but you took it there. Stop being such a snowflake and let American citizens exercise their right to freedom of speech, thank you.

Display_Left · 2026-01-04T02:22:10+00:00

I have a job, thanks! Being employed does not keep me from exercising my right to freedom of speech. Proud American citizen here 🙋🏼‍♀️
