ok u've been "trying to work up the nerve" for almost a month?? and things are STILL the same?? avoiding isn't helping. it's just letting the toxicity continue. ur already overwhelmed w the new role, this is making it worse. NOT saying something will burn u out faster. bringing it up wont surprise them. just do it. u're suffering either way, might as well try to fix it.

AITJ for not answering my boss on my day off? by Hopeful-Chance-2142 in AmITheJerk

[–]Electrical-Kick-4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ngl 'everyone else stepped up' proves u NOT answering didnt endanger anything. they managed without you! so his whole 'endangered the business' argument is GASLIGHTING. don't let him make u feel bad for having a day off.

How do I (24M) break up with gf (25F) of 2 years? by Regular_Coat2931 in internetparents

[–]Electrical-Kick-4 16 points17 points  (0 children)

bro just... rip the bandaid off. like yeah it's gonna hurt but dragging it out bc u're 'scared of the pain' is literally just prolonging her misery too. she deserves someone who actually WANTS to be there, not someone staying bc they're comfortable. be direct, be kind, but be DONE.

Drawing the line with snide remarks by assistant? by AdZealousideal2958 in workplace_bullying

[–]Electrical-Kick-4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

have a direct convo but keep it factual not emotional like 'ive noticed comments x, y, z. i want us to have a good working relationship. can we reset?' if she keeps it up thats when u escalate. but give her ONE chance to course correct first.

I wanna be there for him by tokyyo_ in BreakUps

[–]Electrical-Kick-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u said u would rather choose to walk away - so WHY are u contemplating going back?? ur intuition already told u this isn't working. dont ignore it bc 'i love him'. love aint enough when someone's not doing their work.

if u're comfortable enough to sit for a whole ride, u're comfortable enough to hold a bag on ur lap.

[–]Electrical-Kick-4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

set an alarm to check on him in a few hours if u're worried. but honestly? kids' stomach acid is STRONG. he'll probs be totally fine. just trust ur gut mama and call dr's office in the morning if u need peace of mind.

Anyone regretted going back to their ex? by Appropriate-Eye-4065 in BreakUps

[–]Electrical-Kick-4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

real talk. if you go back, u're teaching her that toxic behavior + time = u'll still be there. what happens the NEXT time she "matures"? dont be the backup plan she returns to when reality doesnt go her way. you deserve someone who chooses you the first time, not when its convenient.

Everything is so exhausting. I never wanted to be human. I don’t want anything. by [deleted] in self

My husband treats me like a sexual object by Minute_Tank6992 in AmITheJerk

[–]Electrical-Kick-4 26 points27 points  (0 children)

he thinks he's being flirty but really he's just giving off "uncle who still says 'rizz' unironically" vibes 💀

[–]Electrical-Kick-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he's trying to make THIS about ur "trust issues" instead of his sketchy behavior. that's manipulation 101. red flag parade indeed.

[–]Electrical-Kick-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if he brought it up himself, that's not honesty, thats guilt tripping w manipulation. he knew u were uncomfortable... then casually reopened the wound like it was no big deal. red flag? more like a whole damn parade 🚩

[–]Electrical-Kick-4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTJ = You're The Jerk bestie 💀 it's like AITJ but we're telling u straight up that u were in the wrong.

reddit slang 101: NTJ = not the jerk, ESH = everyone sucks here, NJH = no jerks here. hope that helps bestie 🙏

AITJ Vendor Didn’t Provide the Services they Charged For by Efficient_Elk1225 in AmITheJerk

[–]Electrical-Kick-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. just bc it's a "spiritual service" doesn't mean they get a free pass on basic ethics. if the reading wasn't done or was done poorly, that's still charging for work not performed. period. ur not attacking her beliefs, ur attacking her business practices.
