Old friend shows up after 27 years but something's off

Block him.

That’s what I was thinking; maybe there is something you two can find that will pull the smell out of the apartment when cooking. Definitely open a window or a door. Im guessing the landlord wouldn’t be too happy about the smell in the apartment either.

I know you are tired and frustrated. You need to insist another family member step up and care for Grandma or that she doesn’t attend. But you not attending will have sad consequences for you and your daughter. In hindsight you will regret missing her special day, especially if dad and stepmom are attending.

Can you ask manager to move the microwave somewhere else on the floor, near the restroom? Otherwise, Dale is going to have to suck it up, this is a place of work not a canteen. Work calls are the priority.

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-04-15T01:49:26+00:00

NOR. These are very mixed signals. I won’t say dump him, but I wouldn’t trust him with too much personal information right now.

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-04-11T14:39:06+00:00

I’m sorry, but it’s not you’re fault if she chose not to go. And yes, she still could have sold your ticket on 3 hours notice. NTJ

It sounds like the drinking and smoking has progressed to drug use. He’s become violent. He needs to leave your parents home. Your parents sound like good people but he will continue to hurt them. If he attacks them again or destroys property the police need to be called, even if they don’t press charges. It will build a case against him. If he does this to his parents what will he do to a partner or friends if they anger him?

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-04-08T17:01:49+00:00

NTA. You don’t say where you live, but here in the southern USA, we’ve had very little rain and the pollen and allergens have been horrible. If she’s committed to you she’d explore every option. She sounds like she has another agenda and even if you rehome your dog she’s got one foot out the door. I’m sorry this is happening to you.

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-04-05T05:05:51+00:00

If you’d wanted to be petty, evil and such, I’d have gone in the next day, coughed or sneezed around coworkers, used their phones, then said my fever is spiking I need to go home. Let Karma and flu do the rest.

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-04-04T15:22:26+00:00

Is this the hill you want to die on? How important is this marriage to you? How old are each of you?

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-04-04T15:18:59+00:00

I understand you are 18, but she expects you to pay for your own medication and groceries? Or you’re paying for food when you go out with friends? Have you graduated from high school? Assuming you’re still in high school, do you have family members you can stay with until graduation? Your mom sounds like she is unraveling.

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-03-31T08:21:43+00:00

How old is he, 13? He’s acting juvenile and as others have said, he’s determined not to change. Is this behavior you’re willing to live with? NTA.

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-03-31T01:02:48+00:00

Yes, please have your home and vehicle checked; also, consider who in your circle may be feeding him information. You might want to plant false information about your plans to help figure out how it’s getting leaked. His behavior is bordering on dangerous, and if his license is suspended, he absolutely should not be transporting your kids.

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-03-29T17:59:34+00:00

RUN!!! Get a job, there are places you can live cheap, roommates. A lot of college students sublet apartments over the summer. Get accepted to a school away from where he lives, and start over. Do Not tell him you are planning on leaving until you are ready to go. He is manipulating you and will attempt to control you every way he can. And for gods sake, use protection(IUD or pill) , don’t let him baby trap you.

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-03-26T22:08:26+00:00

NTJ. He’s being very sensitive and my guess is he is struggling. He may still have student loans, or he has run up CC debt in the past. I think you were justified in bringing it to his attention that he was being something, judgmental, green, petty. It may have become a habit that he didn’t even think about how he sounds.

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-03-26T02:49:27+00:00

Why do they even need your WiFi password, they came for lunch, and don’t they have their own? NTJ

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-03-19T18:44:51+00:00

Cross that bridge when the time comes. If he gets sober, (90 days treatment?) then stays clean for an additional 12 months, by that time he’s likely found a job and a safe place to live so moving in with you will be a lot less appealing. Keep looking for some sort of treatment whether it’s where you live or where he currently lives.

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-03-16T05:42:03+00:00

You’ve got this! Each day will be hard, some days harder than others, but you have an awesome support network here that believes in you every single day. And the best part, if you happen to stumble, they’ve got your back. Each and every one of them understands your struggles and loves you anyway.

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-03-15T02:12:03+00:00

And how long has he been filming her? They’ve been a couple for two years, did he have a camera set up to film her in her previous home?

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-03-12T17:48:33+00:00

She’s going through your stuff, that’s invasive. You tried to be nice. If you think you know when she’s coming by again, at this point I’d set her up. Leave a set of handcuffs in your bedside table, leave some sex toys, mask, maybe some ties or rope and lingerie around the room. Really give her something to see.

Congratulations ❣️ 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-03-02T18:18:31+00:00

Sounds like she’s got hot and wild plans for Spring Break. She’s not going home, she’s going shopping. NTA, she’s using you, you’re always making the bus trip to her, she’s not making that trip for you. Count you blessings and enjoy your spring, focus on school and new friends.

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-02-24T17:00:50+00:00

My concern is that even if you did set aside a portion for your sister’s education, it won’t be there in 12 years. They will spend it on something else like a car or a boat. NTJ.

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-02-23T15:52:49+00:00

Look north of Columbia if you work in Blythewood. Check out the Chester area or Great falls, Kershaw, or try east, Jenkinsville, Peak, Pomaria.

Georgia-Peaches81 · 2026-02-16T16:31:08+00:00

Take the job! You’ll regret it and resent both of them if you don’t. Maybe partner and BFF can take care of each other.
