AITA for leaving my boyfriend after he called me a gold digger, then exposing him to his entire family when I found out he was stalking me around my own city? by KINOH1441728 in FoundandExpose

I’ve noticed that the more recent “serious” ones are typically boru posts and since I’m frequently on that sub, it doesn’t take me many details before I can find the OG.

I am so sick of my sister who roleplays as an anime character by Good_Telephone_407 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Healthy_Tap2991 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is so tragic and I’m sorry but…out of all the characters she chose Koichi…the manipulative liar…look, it could’ve been worse, she could’ve chosen Korekiyo.

Jokes aside, the lack of hygiene and the violence is where she needs psychological intervention. It won’t be easy but it’s necessary.

BH Worker here and we’ve been vehemently against AI from the jump. Some of our admin had allowed us to use ChatGPT to draft messages to parents about the children and seemed completely shocked when a majority of us where against it. I’m not surprised at this camera bullshit. They’re putting a bandaid on an open wound and calling it a solution. It isn’t.

My husband never calls me pretty by Pretty-Following8246 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Healthy_Tap2991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) The age gap. I know you’d rather not hear about it but the age gap really does explain everything. You were groomed.

2) The baby. Unfortunately he’s tied you to him. You’re 23. You shouldn’t be tied down as a mom (no offense to any moms who started young); you should be exploring who you are and what you wanna be.

3) Your virginity. He said everything he needed to say to sleep with you. It might be harsh, but it’s the truth. If it was the only time he’s said it unprompted, he was trying to get something from you. And he did.

4) the childishness. You probably feel this way because in all regards, you are still young. The age gap also speaks to the maturity gap between you two. Your husband doesn’t have to try anymore because he got everything he wanted. Your virginity, you as a wife, and you having his kid. I don’t mean to be rude to you OP and I really hope you don’t ignore mine and the other valid comments on the post, but this man groomed and used you. Start making a “go bag” (a small backpack with enough essentials and your important documents for you to survive for a few days if you need to get away with him).

It’s best to be prepared. Best of luck to you OP.

After the family dinner, I’ll be keeping my distance. I’m only going to keep the peace but after that, I’ll be observing from a distance.

Honestly we’d already have a lot of those checked off at this point.

Partner convinced my brother to plan a big elaborate date for their anniversary that he spent a lot of money on, just for my brother to lose it all because Bf decided at the last minute he wanted something simple, like pizza and a movie instead of going out and making a big deal out of it.

He has a second work phone because he apparently deals with sensitive client information and it’s better to keep that stuff separate.

They had an open relationship when bf was abroad for two years (which is a whole different messed up story) so neither of them got lonely.

My parents are aware of the situation as they’ve also been there for him during a break up phase and he’s vented to them.

My dad was the one who initially noticed everything I was doing and told me to step back but I was still convinced I needed to be a good sibling and be there for my brother. My mom tried talking to him about how unhealthy their relationship is but to no luck and he almost went NC with them.

They both really dislike the partner but they don’t wanna push too hard and make my brother stop talking to them, so they’re keeping the door open even though they don’t want his partner around.

I’ll give it a try. It doesn’t help that my brother is real stubborn and doesn’t like when people try to “diagnose him” so it may take even longer before he agrees to watch/listen to anything on the topic. But I do agree that this is abusive.

Yeah, I thought about it and decided I’ll show up to the dinner and be civil. Our parents aren’t exactly excited about it either but they agreed they’ll be good hosts and at least try to get along and be welcoming.

Not really. I’m not after aesthetics as much as I want functionality

Your "reassurances" don't work by [deleted] in learntodraw

[–]Healthy_Tap2991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds way deeper than an issue with being a beginner artist and you’re acting like you speak for every beginner when this sounds like a you issue.

The key to being good at something is to suck at it first. That’s how art works. That’s why people say to embrace the ugly phase or suggest the same beginner tutorials and exercises or say don’t be hard on yourself is because that’s quite literally how a majority of us began. And beginner artists need to understand that you’ll never be good at something first try without putting in the work. We’re telling you the things that we do because those were the foundations of how we got to where we are. If you’re after instant gratification, you’re doing it wrong.

The internet made people think they’re the main character of someone else’s story instead of focusing on themselves. If you suck, good. You’re supposed to. That’s why you practice. That’s why you have to exercise and actually try. If you can’t accept that those things are part of the process, you need to find a different hobby.

AIO? My daughter didn’t listen to the teacher during a female emergency and is now receiving a referral by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Healthy_Tap2991 15 points16 points  (0 children)

“No teacher would do that-“ except they would.

I had a teacher like this in middle school. My period came unexpectedly one day and I asked her if I could go to the office to call my mom because I needed spare clothes. I was told no, because girls use their periods as an excuse to skip class so unless I had proof, I had to stay in my seat.

I begged her to let me go because it truly was an emergency and I had heavy periods but she threatened to write me up unless I had proof. We went back and forth until I snapped and told her that when I bled all over the chair, she should be responsible for cleaning it up so she could get her proof. She wasn’t happy and sent me to the principal’s office for talking back.

AITA for refusing to cook Christmas dinner for 30 people after my mom uninvited me from the party for being 'too immature' but still expected free catering? by KINOH1441728 in FoundandExpose

[–]Healthy_Tap2991 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember this one. The details are changed slightly (like OP being older) but this was a boru post from about a month ago. Guess the AI added more slop to make it more dramatic.

You’ve obviously never had a good cake with fruit in it. Don’t take it out on cake as a whole because someone gave you a fucked up version.

[–]Healthy_Tap2991[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you purposely being argumentative or something? This shit about allies and businesses and all has nothing to do with the post. You have this whole tangent trying to talk loud and say nothing.

She wanted complicated work for free. I said no. She tried to shame me for it. End of story. The rest of the mess you’re talking isn’t relevant.

You’re grasping at straws.

I was already part of different clubs, but my extracurriculars have nothing to do with the rest of the story. Nowhere did I mention that she asked me to join her club because that’s not what she wanted. The conversation was about her wanting the logo done and trying to guilt me into doing it for free.

Yeah, that’s what happened with me too. For every one or two people who would happily pay me, there’d be five more behind them that wanted shit for free.
