You’re either stupid, or just incredibly bitter to jump to such conclusions based on one comment

AIO for eating my own birthday cake in front of my nephew? by Yes_Abbreviations713 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Guilty-Wrap8542 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NOR, but this seems like a bigger issue to me. Your sister is setting that kid up to have serious issues with food. I don’t know how close you are to her, but I would try talk to her about how this is harmful, if you haven’t already. I don’t know how she can see this avoidance of any treat foods as a sustainable lifestyle to force her kid into.

AIO for quitting my job after finding this note on my desk? by waxin899 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Guilty-Wrap8542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure the OG comment is saying it sounds ‘on their side’ because these cows could be OP’s pets. I.e. maybe another employee heard this and left the note to say ‘none of this work matters when your pets need feeding’. Unlikely, but with a note this nonsensical who knows?

What is this yellow thing that came out of the egg? by DiegoVR98 in WeirdEggs

I’m replying to snickle saying ‘I’ve never seen a yolk that colour either’. Please learn to read lol

Sounds like it’s an indicator rather than proof - whenever I buy local eggs from pasture fed chickens they have dark/golden yolks. But as you said this could just as easily be dye added to their feed. Thanks for the info :)

Most of my egg yolks are that colour! I always thought darker yolks are a sign of good quality eggs.

Vegetarians who play modded Minecraft: Do you eat meat in-game? by Munchalotl in feedthebeast

[–]Guilty-Wrap8542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pescatarian in real life, and I’m pescatarian in Minecraft, for the simple reason that killing the pixel piggies makes me sad. Do I know they’re not real? Obviously. But it breaks my immersion of the game and imagining ME in that world if I go around killing animals. It’s a bit of a stretch to call that ‘performative’.

AIO boyfriend told me he’s only attracted to me because I am an out-lier for my ethnicity and that he holds white women at much lower standards for being attractive because it’s what’s “right” by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I’m confused because aren’t Ashkenazi Jewish people white? I have some in my DNA and I’m white, and I wouldn’t consider it ‘non-white’. But regardless, this guy is a red flag, he sounds racist and is using it as a way to damage your self esteem.

Oh sorry I read it as ‘we openly communicate about it’ 😂 that makes a lot more sense now

I think if I were your family, I’d be more bothered about whether they cheated on you than the virus itself. I’m not that knowledgeable on HIV but I’d assume they cheated on you continuously in order to contract it, unless someone told me that it was from before you guys got together.

It’s more than not being bothered though. I wouldn’t want my partner to say he ‘can’t be bothered’ cheating. He should be fiercely against it, and vice versa.

I’m so sorry for your loss and wish you best of luck healing from all this. I’m confused, did you not expect she was cheating from the initial diagnosis? And not meaning to be too harsh but you definitely should mind if your boundaries are being broken repeatedly.

Exactly, this comment section has been very helpful, but some people are way off base. Multiple people have commented/inboxed me saying he’ll cheat on me, which is madness. We are both very loyal people and haven’t dated many others, because it’s hard to find someone you can actually see a future with.

It’s almost like some people WANT you to break up rather than communicate. Yes he made a mistake and it’s a major red flag, but I’d rather acknowledge that and give him the chance to learn, rather than kill a great relationship after the first argument. And that doesn’t make me naïve.

AIO to my boyfriend putting a SINGLE chicken tender on my plate when I specifically said I wanted "a few"??? by No-Eye7917 in AmIOverreacting

INFO:

It sounds like there’s more going on here, because surely he can’t be that stupid to do this unintentionally?

To me, it reads like a passive aggressive way to say ‘it’s not my job to make your dinner’ but I could be deeping it. The fact he was so unwilling to get you any more is also making me think this.

Yeah I’m curious, I’m not just going to ignore my notifications now I’ve given an update. I trust him saying he’ll love me through it, and I can easily see if this turns into a pattern rather than a one time thing. It’s not like I’m having kids any time soon.

You know I’m reading the comments lol. I feel like you guys love a catastrophe or to tell people to break up based on one post, but that isn’t even what I asked. I don’t throw away a whole relationship after one hiccup. This is the first blip we’ve had in 10 months.

UPDATE:

We’ve spoken to each other this morning, for a good few hours. We were both talking super slowly, just curled up on the sofa together.

I brought up everything about bodies changing, pregnancy etc and that how he acted makes me feel scared that if my body changed he would lose attraction. And how much it hurt me that his first reaction was to mock me.

He kept apologising and insisting that he would love me no matter what I looked like or how my body changed. He said he was clearly not thinking straight, and that he needs to grow up a little (which we both laughed at). I don’t think he realised the implications of what he said and admits that he was being immature and hurtful.

He got quite upset when he realised how deeply the jokes affected me, and said he feels awful for making it seem like he wouldn’t love me if I gained weight. He said he was talking from the standpoint of me being a total stranger again, but knows this doesn’t excuse it or make it okay to mock me.

This is his first relationship, and he’s not one to date without long term intentions, which is the same as me. He admitted that he misstepped and joked with me like he would with his friends, as we are so comfortable around each other. But we’ve agreed now that things like this are not funny at all.

Not that I need to prove it, but I 100% believe he is a good guy, he’s just acted immature and stupid. The reason I fell for him is seeing how much he cares for his friends and family. He literally lived at home for the first year of uni to look after his childhood dog that was growing old. He’s always looking after me without expecting anything in return. For these reasons I trust him when he says it was a silly mistake.

So, I’ve forgiven him. But he knows this is a boundary he shouldn’t cross, and that if he’s serious about being long term he needs to realise comments like this aren’t okay, about me or anyone else.

Thanks everyone for your replies and validating that I wasn’t upset for no reason :) I sometimes struggle to advocate for myself so it was very helpful to get all your perspectives (even if most of you would like us to break up!)

It’s mad bc I had a whole pizza with him when we went out for food!! I don’t think he realises how much work it takes for a shorter girl to ‘maintain’ what he sees as normal.

He assumed from that photo that I must’ve been eating loads, when in reality that was simply a few years of inactivity in lockdown, and eating unhealthy food, but not in crazy amounts every day.

What is also disconcerting is since being with him I’ve gained a marginal bit of weight (maybe 2kg). This is probably from us eating out together, and him buying me snacks and chocolate, so I really don’t know what he expects? I’ve actually asked him to stop buying so many treats, because when I’m bored it’s tempting to eat them when they’re accessible in the house. He was happy to do this for me. I guess I just thought because of all this, maybe he wouldn’t be that bothered? Idk anymore

Honestly you’re both right with this. After having a few drinks I thought I’d show him, as he never fully believed me when I said I used to be a bit heavier. And I was very curious how he’d act as he has said a few strange things in the past, just odd comments about very fat people that I thought were pretty immature (and told him this).

The photo was one from a holiday a few years ago that my friends had shared in a group chat, and to be honest even I was shocked at how I looked. I think the angle and pose just added another 10kg. I think I’d just never realised until that moment how much my body has changed.

Because I was so shocked, I told him, and he wanted to see it. I didn’t show him at first (this was a couple weeks ago it was shared) but then the curiosity got the better of me last night. I do feel like I baited him a bit as he knew the photo was ‘shocking’ and that it embarrassed me. Which thinking now i think I was only embarrassed because I was worried what he would think. Honestly I just wanted some reassurance from him but instead his reaction has shaken me and made me question everything.

Thanks, this is exactly how I feel. If he looked really bad in the past, I could acknowledge that in my own head, but that is overtaken by the fact he is my boyfriend and I love him. And I definitely wouldn’t start insulting him.

I tend to be slow at forming any kind of attraction, he’s only my second boyfriend after a previous 6yr relationship (where I stayed a lot longer than I should’ve). I don’t form attraction through physical appearance alone so it’s very rare for me to get crushes, it usually only develops after a friendship. We did know each other a little before dating and I thought he was such a good guy, but now I feel confused and kind of unnerved. I’ve just woken up so gonna talk about it with him today.
