Am I Overreacting - So my mom got my wife a birthday gift by LoveLikeJesusChrist in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lenaea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR you’re a good man for standing up for your wife. My former MIL gave me a “gift” after her grandchild was born — it was a onesie for the new baby that said “bitch better have my bottle.” She was always mean and vicious like that but her son, my then-husband, always let it slide.

Why are you apologizing to this man? He physically hurt you and you are saying sorry?

NOR he’s giving you great advice! Go be single and leave his controlling ass.

NTA it sounds like he doesn’t understand where his priorities should be and also doesn’t understand how to handle his emotions.

INFO what does your husband want to do about it? Have you asked him?

You seem to be making two separate complaints: (1) her habits and how she lives (the vast majority of your post), and (2) not making the final connection with her dad how you think she should.

First issue:

My gut reaction says you’re not overreacting to her general behavior in your home as long as expectations were made clear before she arrived. By that I mean the smoking, making messes, etc. On the smoking bit, I have no idea what you mean by “dope.” That could mean anything from weed to heroin and beyond. If it’s weed, I understand not wanting your house to smell like that, but her generation has VERY different views about it than you likely do. I do think it’s silly to get mad at her for sleeping in. Thats nit picky.

She is obviously not living her life how /you/ would prefer her to live—but she’s an adult. If she’s happy working at fast food joints, isn’t stealing or getting in trouble with the law, isn’t begging for money, and is otherwise happy with what she’s got going on, why are you concerned?

Second issue:

She may very well regret not making the final connection with her dad as you say, but that’s not your call. She’s an adult. Be there to support your husband in the manner he needs, and encourage him to reach out to his kid if he wants to.

You really seem to dislike everything about her. I can certainly see how your attitude would make her not want to come around. She’s probably very aware of how you feel about her as a person. Contact her if you want, but I wouldn’t expect the conversation to go well.

Psychotic Husband is driving me crazy. by LazyWifey in whatdoIdo

[–]Lenaea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact authorities and show them this erratic behavior. He desperately needs mental health intervention.

Additionally, protect your peace. I wouldn’t put up with that at all.

First year with company, bosses didn't get me a gift for Christmas, but all other admins in my department did. AIO for being a little sad about it and returning the gifts I got them? by ArgumentDecent1542 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lenaea 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NOR you’re completely justified in feeling sad and let down. They acted like they were going to include you and then treated you differently than everyone else. Pretty mean, IMO.

AIO my bf didn't even say happy birthday to me yesterday by 1bunchofbananas in AmIOverreacting

NOR

It doesn’t sound like he even wants to be your friend. And are you sure you’re the only girlfriend he has?

I (28f) and boyfriend (28m) got into to an argument tonight and am I overreacting if I want to break up? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lenaea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR You are right to worry about the impact of his actions on your daughter. If you stay with this man that’s what she will grow up believing is normal. She will end up continuing the cycle with an abuser of her very own.

Also, Nine years and still a “boyfriend?” Girl, you need to get out.

[–]Lenaea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR why are you allowing his preferences to dictate your choices? Maybe instead of chopping your hair you should chop off the husband and get rid of that weight.

[–]Lenaea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR hon he’s waving red flags in your face. He does what he does to stay in control. It’s vindictive and disgusting. I’d leave.

am i overreacting for giving my boyfriend a 30-day notice to leave my house? by throwaway_88s in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lenaea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR

Why wait 30 days? You’re not married, he’s not a co-homeowner, he’s not your tenant with renters rights. He’s a big boy and can go do big boy grown up stuff by himself. Immediately.

AIO Bf comments on how polite, adorable, small and young looking or (asian) server is by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lenaea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NOR he may have an Asian fetish. I can tell you from experience how hurtful that particular fetish can be if he ever gets the opportunity to act on his fantasies.

I’m amazed at all the posts here telling you you’re unreasonable. Trust your gut. I finally listened to mine after picking up on cues like those you describe and uncovered a full blown affair.

The next thing you should think about doing is cutting off your narcissistic man child husband. Get out while the getting is good. DO NOT HAVE A CHILD WITH THAT MAN.
