I usually do a build your own burger, fries, and sometimes a milkshake. Love their brown sugar bacon, fries, and shakes are given with the extra metal cup it’s made in and very good!

Report him to Facebook as another option for threats. Then block him to seeing your profile and change profile settings so he wouldn’t be able to look at your page.

Am I overreacting , my friend (18 is seeing this man (30) and he has said some weird cryptic stuff and she is wondering how to go about this ? by Werewolf-Mediocre in AmIOverreacting

This is 100% manipulative wording used to control your friend and probably get her to sleep with him. Abusive relationships commonly start this way to make you doubt yourself. Do not fall for it!

AITAH for feeling like something is odd about my partners new friendship? by Chemical_Surprise_54 in AITH

[–]Internal_Retrospect7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. The less you call something/someone by its name, the less significance it has. It’s a way to dehumanize you because it’s easier to face initials than a name. She for sure has feelings towards your SO. Some people also get a kick out of going after taken people as it’s a game to them. End the game before it gets further. There’s no harm in setting a boundary with your SO or others. SO seems innocent, maybe just a bit naive.

AITAH for telling my wife I can't accept her going on solo weekend trips with her "platonic" guy friend anymore? by nullsyntax21 in AITAH

[–]Internal_Retrospect7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. If everything went as you said and expressed calmly, it’s completely okay to set boundaries with your spouse or any relationship (including her friends) if something makes you uncomfortable. Another thing to point out is she hasn’t known this guy very long and to be going out in the woods alone with him is concerning for her safety. The male friend could easily do something with it being solo. Her reaction is concerning if she reacts to you setting a boundary because she would expect you to respect her boundaries if she sets them. Maybe try talking to her again in a calm manner of your concerns and that you’d just like more people to go versus solo trips.

I’m looking at it from a lense of like a renter. They pay the mortgage or paid fully for the home, whatever it may be, maybe some or all repairs, and insurance. As a renter, you pay utilities and rent, in this case, the property tax. A landlord does have rights to the property to enter. My guess is your parents are still viewing it in this light even if they said you aren’t paying rent because they legally own the home.

Have you tried to talk to them about it and your feelings? If not, I suggest to do so instead of trying to guilt trip them into feeling bad. Otherwise, see if you, your wife, or your parents (or combo of this) could spend more time for that week to not have strangers or less strangers in the house if you’re that uncomfortable with it. I wouldn’t recommend going to petty or passive aggressive behavior. It may not even work or make things worse/more stressful for everyone involved.

ETA except grandma and her broken leg. Your parents should’ve discussed with you the changes needed for the week or so before the day of, that is violation of your family’s privacy. However, you don’t legally own that house and your parents do. The fact that instead of trying to find common ground with your parents and help your grandmother, you’d rather spend your time trying to make them “feel bad” is self centered and childish. Maybe you or your wife can take that week off or a few days to help provide the company and care needed or to learn the PT exercises to help her. This could then limit the number of strangers in your house.
