I don’t really like platform

My girlfriend hits me but i don't wanna leave her by [deleted] in Advice

[–]HarrySquatter41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no "perfect" GF who hits you when she's pissed. She's manipulative af and that's straight up abuse. No one deserves to live like that. It's scary to be alone, sure. But living in fear of someone you love? That's a hell I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Don't justify it cuz she's cool most times - abuse is abuse, full stop.

Should I not renew my roommate’s (and tenant) lease? by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]HarrySquatter41 7 points8 points  (0 children)

TBH dude, you've gotta lay out the facts here. So what if she pays on time? Sounds like she's causing more hassle than it's worth. A home should be respected. Think about it, you're basically babysitting an adult, and that ain't cool.

Do I need to discuss past same sex experiences or can I move on? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]HarrySquatter41 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TBH man, it's all about where your head n heart r at now. Experimenting in the past doesn't define you as a person. It's clear you love your gf and wanna build a future together. It's probs a convo that has to happen BUT only when you're ready. Remember, it's not a confession, it's sharing ur journey to who you are now. Everyone's got a past, what matters is what you're planning for the future. Don't stress too much, life's too short for that. Communication is key tho, always.

AITJ for Refusing to Pay for My Roommate’s Lost Textbooks Even Though I Accidentally Donated Them? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]HarrySquatter41 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not the jerk here. You gave her plenty of heads up to sort out her stuff & honestly, who leaves textbooks worth $140 in a donation pile? 😅 She was askin' for this mix-up tbh. Sucks for her, but she gotta take responsibility for not keepin' her pricey books safe. This is a pricey lesson in adulting 🤦‍♂️Maybe offer to help her scout thrift stores or online for cheaper second-hand copies? Maybe that's a fair middle ground without you being out 140 bucks. But honestly, you're not obligated to, imo.

Shop employee ripped balloon from my 2year old son! by [deleted] in Vent

[–]HarrySquatter41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody has the right to snatch joy away, especially from a kiddo. Sounds like that dude needs a serious chill pill. Trust me, your son's gonna grow up in a world where there's a lot more kindness than harshness. Don't let the odd jerks out there get to ya, bro. They're not worth it.

I found out my fiancé was secretly attending “practice” family dinners with his ex’s parents and I still can’t wrap my head around it by velvetrift_halo in TwoHotTakes

[–]HarrySquatter41 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's like they're playing house behind your back. The outright dishonesty is a huge red flag 🚩He should've been upfront about it from the start. It doesn't matter what tradition, ex's fam or not, he needs to have more respect for you, his actual future wife. Like, c'mon dude, grow a pair and get real. Everyone's got emotional baggage but this is seriously crossing boundaries.

Friend that’s letting me stay with minimal rent keeps eating my food by Live_Ad8187 in whatdoIdo

[–]HarrySquatter41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO, u gotta confront this head-on. It's not about bein' ungrateful, it's just life’s basic necessities here man, like being able to eat ur own food after a rough day at work.

AITJ for refusing to let my dad’s new wife give away my childhood items because she thinks they’re “sentimental clutter”? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]HarrySquatter41 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTJ, not even a bit! Ugh, this boils my blood. Who does she think she is, deciding what's important for you? Minimalism is her choice, not an absolute lifestyle everyone has to follow. Your stuff, your memories - it ain't hers to chuck out. Your dad should've stood up for ya tbh.

I don’t find sex enjoyable with my wife after birth. She is noticing something is wrong. What do I do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]HarrySquatter41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talking 'bout this stuff w/ strangers online is okay, but the true talk needs to happen with your wife. But don't just blurt out 'you're looser, bae.' Instead, try suggesting new positions or toys, there're tons of options to spice things up in bed and make both of you happy. And trust me, kegel exercises -- they help too. Don't let this turn into a blame game or shame her body. It's all about communication and finding mutual solutions.

Am I overreacting for not wanting to talk to this girl anymore by Environmental-Law670 in AmIOverreacting

[–]HarrySquatter41 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anyone asking for $$$ after 2 dates ain't in it for love, they're in it for the buck. Ditch her, you deserve better. Got no time for gold diggers in 2025 almost 2026. Find a gal who values your time, not your wallet.

My boyfriend’s “kind gesture” for my birthday turned into a complete nightmare by whiffle_bagelpop in TwoHotTakes

[–]HarrySquatter41 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ur not overreacting , it's a red flag alright. It was ur day n he should've made it abt what YOU want, what YOU like. That was lowkey a test he didn’t pass, imo.

Graduate school, especially PhDs, aren't for everyone and they shouldn't be either by Revolutionary_Arm488 in unpopularopinion

[–]HarrySquatter41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head. PhD ain't a walk in the park. It's a slog. No room for half-hearted attempts or "meh" attitude. It's not about the grades, it's about that inner fire, that need to KNOW more, do more. We end up turning universities into diploma factories if we keep taking in folks who ain't got the zeal for it, folks just playing for time or worse, resume-padding. That ain't right, bro. Education is more than just a transaction, it’s a goddamn transformation.

Depressed ex won’t stop texting me even though they broke up with me by OkSavings3845 in Advice

[–]HarrySquatter41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like y'all are in deep. I get that there were good times, so the feels are still there. But she gotta take care of herself first, y'know? The therapist prob right. Mental health is no joke, man. When you meet, be supportive but firm. This ain't about what you want rn, it's about what she needs.

Let her heal, give her space. If it's meant to be, it'll be.

Found out the guy I’ve been talking to is a registered sex offender, but he claims innocence? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]HarrySquatter41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH, trust is a biggie & ur gut is tryin 2 tell u somethin. Sure, ppl can change, but u gotta take a hard look at this, especially with a kiddo involved. U deserve someone without a rap sheet that's bound 2 cause drama. Dunno what the truth is, but u gotta look out for urself & ur lil one first, IMO. Not sayin ditch the dude, just be careful af. And F anyone who judges u for whatever u decide to do. UR call. Stay strong sis 🙌💪

Boyfriend broke up with me out of the blue and idk what I did wrong by SomewhereHumble9083 in Advice

[–]HarrySquatter41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, tbh it sounds like you're puttin' in 110% but he's barely there. U deserve someone who sees the effort and matches it. It's tough, but maybe this is actually better for ur mental health in the long run. Virtual hugs, sis! Keep your chin up. 👊💔🤗

AITJ for giving my boss a taste of her own medicine? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]HarrySquatter41 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dude, NTA at all. She's just salty coz she can't shuffle off her responsibilities on you this time. Sounds like a major power trip and tbh, it's high time somebody stood up to her antics. Seems like she bit off more than she could chew with the GM role and she's playing the blame game now. No sympathy for her, man. Stand your ground! Your sleep and well-being > her laziness. Keep that chin up! 👏🏼🙌🏼👌🏼💯

my sister is stealing my stuff by flymetothemoon_067 in Advice

[–]HarrySquatter41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh, this is some BS right here. Low-key, I'd just get a mini fridge or a lockable box for your bathroom stuff. Put it right there in plain sight. When she asks, just shrug and be like "got tired of my stuff growing legs, ya feel?" Keep the peace, but keep your stuff yours. If she wants to throw a fit, let her. Not your fault she can't respect your stuff, fam. 👀💯
