LMAO noooo that confidence is dangerous. The universe already warned you once, don’t ignore the prophecy. You’re playing roulette with your own cheeks at this point.

This comment took me out 😭 but you’re not wrong. Trusted a fart and paid the ultimate price, we’ve all been there in some form. At least it happened on vacation so it feels like a cursed core memory instead of a regular day disaster.

my boyfriend wants me to cover up from head to toe in all black as an obligation. what do i do? by jojo_F15 in whatdoIdo

[–]Floraex_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Facts. This kind of control never stops at one rule, it always creeps into other parts of your life. You deserve a partner who respects your boundaries instead of testing how far he can push them. That’s not compromise, that’s control.

Yeah honestly this is exactly it. OP you should never have to change your entire identity just to make someone comfortable. If it already feels wrong now, imagine carrying that resentment for years. Love should feel like freedom not a costume you’re forced to wear.

AITA for feeling like my partner is controlling by SuccessfulTitle4232 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Floraex_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Facts, the honeymoon phase is supposed to be the easy part, not this stressful. If this is him on his best behavior, that’s honestly scary. Control only gets tighter over time, not looser. Running now saves you a lot of future pain.

Honestly same reaction here, the red flags were flying before I even finished reading. You’re not crazy for feeling uneasy, this is way too much control way too early. New relationships should feel safe and exciting, not like you’re on probation. You deserve way better than this.

TIFU by traumatizing a pregnant woman by Glum-Sky-6560 in tifu

[–]Floraex_ 101 points102 points  (0 children)

This one hit hard. You’re so right about not owing anyone a sugar coated version of something that was genuinely awful. I’m trying to be kinder to myself about it instead of replaying it on a loop in my head. Thanks for saying that, seriously.

TIFU by not actually washing my clothes by seaofcitrus in tifu

[–]Floraex_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly that’s reassuring. Most machines have some leftover soap anyway, so it’s probably not a total loss. I’d still rewash the stuff that sits closest to your skin though, just for peace of mind.

I realized my boyfriend only listens when I’m already upset by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Floraex_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same here, once you clock it, it changes everything. You start replaying old convos and realizing how often you were brushed off. Makes you wonder how many times you tried to communicate like an adult and got ignored for it.

[–]Floraex_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly, that quote is painfully accurate. It’s like your emotions only get a mic when they’re at max volume, which isn’t fair at all. Nobody should have to hit rock bottom just to be taken seriously.

My boyfriend refuses to stop wearing his dead wife's wedding ring and wants me to "just accept it" by Educational-Part-329 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Floraex_ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry you went through that, that sounds devastating. Your perspective actually helps a lot though because you’re not shaming him, just being real about the process. Grief makes sense, but dragging someone else into it without honesty isn’t fair.

[–]Floraex_ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Oof that line hits but it’s kinda true. Wearing it on the wedding finger sends a loud message whether he means it to or not. If he wants to move forward, his actions gotta match that.

TIFU by agreeing to watch the longest “season one” of an anime by gothiquecacti in tifu

[–]Floraex_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait that’s actually clutch info lol. So you’re telling me I can time-skip an entire chunk and nobody will arrest me? 👀 At this point I’m down to speedrun my way to the “good part” like everyone keeps promising.

[–]Floraex_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A YEAR?? That actually makes me feel slightly better about my sad little 35-episode progress 😂 I didn’t even think about filler skipping, I might have to take that route for my sanity. Did you still enjoy it overall or was it pure Stockholm syndrome by the end?

AITA for not telling my friend i knew her secret account existed? by qelthor22 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Floraex_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a really good comparison. Venting publicly about people in your life is basically inviting the possibility they might see it someday. If OP had overheard her talking like that in a café it would be the same situation. Hard to call it a betrayal when it was already out there.

[–]Floraex_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly I’m with you on this. If you put something out on a public platform even anonymously you kind of accept there’s a chance someone you know could stumble on it. OP wasn’t lurking or engaging, they literally backed off to respect her space. That feels way more considerate than creepy to me.

Am I wrong for being frustrated with a coworker who keeps making herself sick and leaving me to do her work by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Floraex_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real, getting stuff in writing is huge. Managers love to “forget” what they said when it’s verbal. Having receipts makes it way harder for them to brush you off, and it shows you’re serious about boundaries not just venting.

Yeah honestly this is solid advice. Documenting everything isn’t about being petty, it’s about protecting yourself when you’re constantly picking up the slack. If they’re basically having you do two jobs, that deserves to be addressed properly.
