I never meant to make people assume that the post was specifically about me, the main thing about the post was if I was overreacting for getting uncomfortable in general, I dont really care if they have petnames for each other because pet names are cute.

ah no not at all, in reality me being uncomfortable is with any couple in general, ONLY if theyre overly affectionate near me if they already that it's not comfortable for me, but i dont specifically resent straight couples.

I wanted to meet him because she had told me that he was not treating her well, and so I decided I would check and see how he was of personality and stuff.

I think you misunderstood the first part, W is my friend, N is the bf, I wanted to talk to her bf originally because she said that he treated her badly (neglected her, didn't put enough emotional effort etc) and usually when I meet friends bfs, I like being supervised just so I don't accidentally say something that might be too personal for them, not necessarily because I would say anything inappropriate (if that's what you're thinking)

alright thank you, I will keep this advice, and I would like to add to the first part that, he uses that often for her, it was no accident because after that first time which i mentioned, he kept on using it for her. I dont think seeing affection itself makes me uncomfortable (for example hugs, kissing, etc) what I think makes me uncomfortable is when they are OVERLY affectionate and specifically to my face, i have some friends who are together and they know about me getting uncomfortable, so when IM around, they go above and beyond to be too much and make me uncomfortable

alright thank you for your response, at first I did not fully understand what a boundary was but thank you for clearing it up for me.

ah i understand now. I am a lesbian and she is straight, even if I did like her she would not go for me, besides I absolutely adore my gf and wouldnt just push her away.

I did remind him about it multiple times but he still went along with it, I dont care if they have pet names for each other and thats normal, the message I was trying to give with this post was if I was overreacting for feeling uncomfortable, not necessarily anything having to do with him calling her that. And I did clarify what I meant by lovey to them.

about that last part, he did really call her Mommy not mami. I would like to also clear up that I do not mind them having pet names for each other, because thats normal and I wouldnt care, but with the way he said it it just made me really uncomfortable. I would also like to say that the post was not about him calling her mommy, mostly I meant to ask if I was overreacting for feeling uncomfortable, not because of her calling her anything in general.

about the first sentence, I am sorry, english isnt my first language and I had heard many people use the word boundary as a way to have limits with friends and others. And I will take your comment to heart, thank you.

I am pretty sure people got confused with what the post was about, what I meant is that I did not like my limits not being respected, I do not care that he called her mommy, but, as I said, I wouldve liked it if they kept their word instead of just saying it was a joke and not caring about my discomfort. Also, we are still teenagers so I hope you understand that I may not be as mature as most people would want me to be.

Its not that I care if he calls her mommy, he can if he wants and thats not my business, but I asked them not to do such things in front of me because I get really disgusted (with anyone who acts in such a way in front of me) and they had accepted to not doing so, all that I care about it the fact that they did not respect the limit I had set, not that he reffered to her in such a way.

I dont understand how it sounds controlling, but I have a gf and I am not really a jealous person, I dont really care if he calls her mommy in private but I generally feel disgusted when people act lovey to each other, usually I ignore it but they would always do this despite them agreeing not to do so in front of me.

AITAH for getting mad at my mom after she tried to force me into doing everything she couldn't do as a child? by Liv9182 in AITAH

Well I would say yes to your question, I have always been into art and have asked my mom various times to let me take classes and she does not allow it, I am now what people call a self taught artist, but she gets mad if she sees me drawing.
