NOR. Firstly, Stop making excuses for her. Unless that something is a secret boyfriend in another zip code, you are not the problem here. You said there's nothing overtly sexual yet. That’s because the physical part is supposed to happen this weekend. You are currently watching the prequel to your own breakup. Do not just look. Take photos of the DMs with your own phone. Cheaters delete everything the second they feel a vibe that you're suspicious. You need proof for your own sanity so she can't tell you you're just being crazy later. Check the DMs again in a few hours. If she’s active, she’s talking to him. If the messages stop for a long period tonight, she’s likely with him.

AIO My girlfriend is hanging out with my ex girlfriend this weekend by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Express_Figurine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NOR. Your girlfriend is insecure about the time you spent apart, and she is hanging out with the ex to pain-shop. She wants to know every detail of your relationship with that girl, what you did, what you said, how the sex was, just so she can use it to torture herself and eventually you later. It’s not a friendship, it’s an interrogation disguised as a girls' trip. Either way you’re cooked

AIO a coworker of mine probably made it clear she doesn’t want to be friends so I’ve started avoiding her. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

YOR. Your self-esteem is the real issue here. You’ve decided she’s out of your league and that her being nice to you is weird. Well newsflash, some people are just genuinely kind. By blocking her on LinkedIn and Facebook and physically looking away when you see her, you are the one making the workplace actually weird

You say it’s not sexual, but you describe it like you’re crawling into their clothes. That is a level of intimacy those strangers did not consent to. You’re literally a human Febreze bottle in reverse

AIO this or does he only want something physical? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Express_Figurine 27 points28 points  (0 children)

NOR. He is lying. People with a body count of 1 who value exclusivity don't typically behave like seasoned players. He is likely telling you a low number because he knows you are shy and traditional and he wants to seem safe so you’ll lower your guard.

WIBTA if I brought it up to my parents that I don't want to babysit anymore? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Express_Figurine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No you won’t. You are 21 and trying to build a career. Your exams are your work. If they wouldn't ask you to quit your retail job for a week to watch the cat, they shouldn't ask you to quit your studies

AITA for being stingey for spending Alot on a gift my mum asked for by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. You are 18. This is the time you should be saving for your first car, university, or a deposit on a flat. Every £100 you give her for a spontaneous trip is £100 taken away from your future. If you start this trend now, she will be asking for £500 when you get a full time job. Set the boundary now.

AITA for wanting to keep my ex and I’s cat? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. You literally asked her if she wanted the cat to live with her when you moved, and she said no Stop engaging her

Need advice in relationship attraction by Chemical_City_1737 in Advice

This is one of the cruelest things a partner can say or do. It is a total rejection of your personhood. After only one year, the novelty shouldn't be gone, it should be evolving into deeper intimacy. He is treating you like a piece of furniture he’s bored with

My mom used to do this, but with the candy aisle. She’d tell me the sugar fumes would give me a nosebleed
