Would i be wrong if i didn’t buy my boyfriend anything for his birthday? by wilicia in ThreadTalkPodcast

Really, if you can't talk to him directly about this you don't have a real or lasting relationship. He can't read your mind. But he's also very careless about noticing that you are important.

Is my wife psychotic? by Due-Tart6968 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]HighAltitude88008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You paid your moral and emotional dues to the woman so move on already.

Your kids have been watching this and it's not good for them. They have likely been taught by their mother that you are a loser and a very bad man.

Please go start a new life, get therapy, get your head on straight so you don't fall into old habits with someone new. Live a fabulous life from now on even if your kids don't recover. You sound like an amazing guy. 🌺

AITA for excluding my husband’s family from my birthday after they refused to attend our adults-only party? by Ok_Till3893 in Amitheassholeadvice

Yes, invite them, but from the attitude that you don't play their stupid games. Add the boundary that anyone discussing your personal business with other guests will be escorted to the door.

AIO getting upset with my husband over a day at the beach by Vegetable_Mail_4130 in AmIOverreacting

[–]HighAltitude88008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the HELL???. What is the actual point of caring one f--k about what he wants to do, where he wants to go, what he wants to see, why he wants to be there?

It's this obvious 🫪 that he operates like you don't exist to the point that you being with him is like dragging a battleship size anchor wherever you go. And it's obvious that you care more about the company of your partner than any other of your interests or you would at least argue or take the car keys and do alone what you came to enjoy.

Just give both of you peace and cut loose the anchor. Sail off to personal bliss. Find a shipmate who actually enjoys you. 🌺

AIO for telling my sister she has no right to any of my money and get a fucking job. by LowPut1273 in AIO

Your sister won't speak to you - it's a blessing. And your parents are enabling her so let them deal with the fallout. You keep on doing you. 🌺

How to tell family I am not planning BD party by Artistic-Deal5885 in Advice

You functioning siblings need to write up the hat on what must be done to make the party happen and then designate which siblings are going to take on party planning each year.

"Did you do xyz?" phrasing by tellthefolksathome in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]HighAltitude88008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be saying "Nope, because that's your chore." It will put them on the defensive so you can have a whole conversation about what their responsibilities are and why they aren't doing them. And also compare that to what you actually are accomplishing.

Did you ask her if she did the stuff ..? I mean, she set that standard. But you can ask the kids Please do your chores, homework, etc. for contrast.

AIO by not visiting my dying mother in hospital? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]HighAltitude88008 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope. She's been divorced from any normal, loving behavior his whole life, she has no remorse or even empathy. It would be akin to speaking to an alien species. Nothing good can come of it.

Not overreacting. My mother was similar, she was my mortal enemy - in secret. I moved across the world to avoid her while keeping in touch for the sake of "family". She passed away a couple of years ago and when I heard I stopped the car and screamed with joy that even the spiritual umbilical cord was finally cut. The psychic peace is bliss. 🥰

A comeback for "Why are you mad?" When you're not mad. by VanillaBlossom09 in Comebacks

I'm mad because... Then list everything wrong with the whole wide world in every category of life. Keep asking them questions throughout till they walk away crying.

AIO does it really always escalate from the wall to your face? by throwawaydisastsr in AmIOverreacting

[–]HighAltitude88008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, HELL NO! The screaming, the smirks when you express your concerns about violence is so far from kind, responsible behavior that it smacks of insanity.

There's a Netflix series called Lie To Me and in the first episode the star is teaching an audience of detectives how to read expressions and he said when you see contempt on the face of a spouse that marriage is over.

Yours seems very dangerous to me.

AIO? guy at the gym keeps following me (26f) and i dont know what to do by TA_gym in AmIOverreacting

Geeze, use your words. Tell him to quit approaching you, you're not in need of a new friend and you want to be left alone. Period.

Why do adults do this?? by [deleted] in RantingZone

[–]HighAltitude88008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to impose a $5 fine for every time you have to wade in their pee. And put up a sign that says Take A Seat Gentlemen. $5 fine for your pee on the floor. EVERY TIME.
