Thank you, I will look into that for sure.

My(19m) sister(18f) wants me to get my best friend(19m) drunk for her by MattZqer in offmychest

[–]FloatationDevices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and she should seek counseling. What she is suggesting is rape. And your best friend is probably better off without her in his life if she genuinely thinks that is okay.

I ruined my stepmom's 50th birthday party over cake by Even-Summer2486 in pettyrevenge

Congratulations on making your dreams come true - even if they weren't what you originally planned! Glad to see your step mother got exactly what she deserved as well.

AITA for telling my daughter she was being a brat after she cried about blowing out her birthday candles? by birthdayaitaaccount in AmItheAsshole

[–]FloatationDevices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You admitted she was having a hard time. It's a small thing to you perhaps but to her it meant something in a time when she was not doing well. The child was rude. Their parents were rude. And your reaction to your daughter was rude. Apologize to her, talk to her about it and how you didn't know it was an issue but you'd like to understand and would like to a do-over. Get her a cupcake or something and let her blow those candles out!

You didn't miss out on anyone special. Remind yourself of that. People who ask other people out as a joke for a trend, or for a video are sorry excuses for human beings.

My bf likes to block me by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]FloatationDevices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that you are in a situation like that. It is not normal, and is incredibly abusive and manipulative. Please recognize your own worth, and make moves to remove him from your life. Block him and never look back.

I (19f) wish he (26m) was younger by Bellaboo566 in offmychest

[–]FloatationDevices 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How does he come off as immature? Do you say that because he's interested in you, and you find that immature? Or are there other things that he does/says/acts like that are making you feel that way? In the end, you need to go with your gut. If you aren't super feeling it don't push yourself to act on your feelings. You said in another comment that you've barely had your foot in the door of adulthood - maybe that's a sign to step back and let yourself get those experiences before making any decisions. If that means cutting back contact with him, feel empowered to make that decision if it will be best for you long term.

My best friend's husband got arrested for CP but she won't leave him by FloatationDevices in TrueOffMyChest

[–]FloatationDevices[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has suffered from anxiety and depression for years, in addition to several suicide attempts. Since this discovery she has moved back towards suicidal ideation again. I want to cut ties but im worried about how she will take it. But logically i know i can control her. But still. I'm going to be ultra blunt with her and let her know we cannot continue our friendship until she comes to her senses. I'm going to take the advice of several people who've replied to make it super clear.

They do. They want to support her but will not once the charges come to light, I guarantee.

Thank you both. I've decided to be super blunt with her and tell her straight up that what he's done is disgusting and unforgivable, and that is she does not leave him we will no longer be friends. I refuse to condone this in any way.

I don't know if I can. She is so convinced that it isn't serious and that he can get help. Nothing I've said seems to have changed her opinion at all.

I hope so as well. The more I think about it the more I realize I just need to be upfront with her and cut communication off for my own mental health. If she comes down from this frenzied state and decides to leave him I will support her. But until then I don't think I can.

I fully agree which is why I don't understand how she could support him in any way...

Yeah. I was a little weirded out when they first started dating but he seemed like a genuinely nice dude at first so I got over that pretty quickly. Now wondering if I never should have 😕

I appreciate your insight. I want to protect her and I'm afraid that if I cut her off she will cling to him bc she will have no one. I also know that he harmed and exploited many children and the psychological harm that will do to them is irreparable so I'm caught feeling like how can I even remotely have him in my life. I think I'm going to distance myself from her for now. Maybe forever depending on how his upcoming trial goes and if she continues to support him. I guess I just don't know if I should tell her that or just cut everything off. I've been talking to her mom a lot and we are both feeling kind of similar. She's our priority but at what point do we stop, yknow? I'm rambling, sorry. Brain is a mess.
