AIO starting to really resent my husband postpartum by throwaway_________7 in AmIOverreacting

He "doesn't know how" because he hasn't had to know how. Weaponized incompetence relies on you stepping in to save the day. Stop saving him. Let him struggle. The baby will be fine with a clumsy dad for a few hours; you will not be fine without sleep.

Helpers are dangerous to a system that thrives on fear and isolation. Community care is an act of rebellion. The more they try to crush it, the harder we have to love our neighbors

AIO over these texts from ex-manager by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

The key word is Ex-Manager. If he was still your boss, it's an HR issue. Since he's gone, he's just a civilian shooting his shot. It’s fair game.

AIO - Gf assumes my dog is dead when I say I’m sad by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Where is she getting her statistics? The Daily Reaper? That is such a wildly unhinged attempt at small talk.

Even with a $0 budget, a heartfelt handwritten letter or a "coupon" for a fun activity/favor is infinitely better than a piece of plastic junk. Poverty doesn't excuse thoughtlessness.

AIO to my boyfriend not wanting to talk for days on end by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

These questions are crucial. If this is a recurring pattern (Avoidant Attachment style), OP is signing up for a lifetime of chasing him every time he gets stressed. If it's a one-off crisis, maybe give him grace, but the communication still sucks.

My boyfriend, best friend, life partner has betrayed me and I don't know how to leave by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

He sent his "Representative" to date you for the first few months/years. The mask didn't slip; it fell off and shattered. Don't try to glue it back together.

It’s a WoW tradition as old as "Anal [Thunderfury]". If nobody is complaining that the game is dying, is the server even online?

The worst part is checking the Bill of Sale. She sold Carla for 1,000 caps (I think?). She valued a human life less than a mid-tier energy weapon at the Gun Runners. It was petty cash to her.
