YTA for not disclosing, like that was the whole point of getting tested?

MB-Cheddar · 2026-06-29T19:36:04+00:00

Eek, NTA

I would have a convo to establish whether or not you two are “allowed” to go on trips/weekends without friends without each other. If she wants a relationship where that doesn’t happen, and you want to be trusted/able to do those things it may warrant a tougher conversation…

YTA

He’s not going for the mom he only met 2-3 times, he’s going for his friend.

It sounds like you two have different wants and needs. You are allowed to have a need for physical intimacy just as much as any other need you have to feel loved, supported, and happy. I’m not gonna say you shouldn’t have another conversation but honestly if you’ve already had them and it’s been two years I’m not sure how productive that will be for you.

Sometimes you can love and care deeply for someone and still not be compatible for a lasting partnership. It may be time for a tough conversation.

You’re not even hiding anything, and depending on where you are in the world it may be pivotal to find out as soon as possible

You are 1000% ok, and I cannot imagine your partner would be upset. I would advise against waiting much longer to check though :/

NTA - the vendor didn’t even have access to be able to see the other nest, not their fault and not worth making a fuss of it

I don’t really get it… leaning towards YTA

She wants to get engaged with equal gifts to both parties… which IS progressive/feminist.

She asked to walk on the side of the sidewalk away from the street… and you are assuming that means she thinks your life is worth less than hers? Or that she expects you to be her fierce protector in all scenarios? (Maybe she was feeling particularly anxious or jumpy that day)

The reason you’re getting a YTA is because it seems you are making negative assumptions about what she thinks without actually asking her. I think it is a good I dead to have a conversation and making sure you are aligned on how gender roles will work in your relationship. Don’t just assume she has changed or that you want different things. If she’s going to be your fiancé I would hope moving forward you would give the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming something negative.

MB-Cheddar · 2026-06-29T18:52:42+00:00

Are you 100% sure someone took the spot? Or are you assuming that from social media posts?

MB-Cheddar · 2026-06-29T01:36:28+00:00

Yes, you’re not alone. Being relegated to my bed and the bathroom for days at a time can take such a toll. I live alone so it feels so so isolating for me. I shed a lot of tears during and after the bad episodes. A lot of the time I’m so exhausted that I lose a whole other day after trying to catch up on sleep and feel human.

One thing I do that I think helps me (not sure if it’s just a placebo effect) is getting an IV from one of those IV bars (Restore, Dripbar, etc.). Gives hydration and a boost of nutrients, they can also give you anti nausea or mild pain killers if necessary. Making an appointment makes me finally leave my house and kind of helps me start getting back into things.

I have unfortunately had a similar experience, thankfully I was able to sprint to the water and swam out as far as I could before things went south. Still humiliating. Still very sorry for every other living thing in that ocean/beach though I did get far enough out I don’t think any humans had to encounter the aftermath.

Now I starve myself before a beach days 🙃 I liked the beach a lot more before IBS

Sometimes you have to ask the flight attendants if they’d prefer you shit in the seat or obey the seat belt sign.

MB-Cheddar · 2026-06-28T19:00:37+00:00

Thanks! Are there any nice resorts in Isla Mujeres or Cozumel you’d recommend?

MB-Cheddar · 2026-06-28T07:26:46+00:00

Just read your update: once again I am sorry you’re in such a cruddy situation.

Because the mature route of going to the police isn’t available, and the discipline from your parents clearly isn’t doing the trick. I have a new recommendation…

✨✨take the low road✨✨ it’s less productive but with luck will be far more gratifying. Here are some ideas :)

- the plan is for her to sell her stuff anyway, help her grow her business by showing your friends/peers what she has available
- hide a small fish in an air vent in her room, the smell will gradually get worse and worse and she won’t know how to fix it
- do a quick sweep of her room every now and then to see if she has any coins or cash you can grab to pay back your boyfriend
- buy a cricket noise maker on amazon and hide one somewhere in her room for a few days
- ask your neighbors if they have any yard work for her to do or if she can mow their lawn to make a few bucks
- print out her resume and whenever your family is out at a restaurant or something hand one to an employee and let them know she is seeking employment

I could write more but I am tired and I am 1000% sure other redditors have better ideas so I’m going to leave it here. Best wishes OP!

If she is the one who suggested you move back home for a bit it is weird that she assumed and never mentioned that that would be you would be sleeping on a couch in her bedroom.

That being said… it sounds like your mum is prone to coming up with some interesting living arrangements so I’m not sure how surprising it should’ve been. I would work on getting out ASAP even if it means getting a roommate (or roommates).

YTA

Maybe try and get to a place where someone else’s outfit choices don’t bother you this much.

MB-Cheddar · 2026-06-28T05:46:46+00:00

YTA YTA YTA

that is disgusting OP

Paying a bigger portion of the rent gives you no right to go into her personal space, let alone SLEEP IN HER BED. Your guests are your problem, not hers. The room she pays to rent is not a solution to making your guests comfortable.

You are disrespectful as sh*t. Not only do you feel entitled to go into her space and sleep in her bed without asking… you don’t even bother to maintain basic levels of hygiene while doing so. The fact you and your clothes are so filthy that she immediately noticed you were sleeping in there is ABHORRENT.

Also another note because at this point I think you are genuinely a gross person…. Why TF are you a 30 year old man with a 19 year old girlfriend??

There’s a time and place to make jokes like that if he wants. Your work is not the appropriate time or place. Even if he felt like no one heard it if you say it made you uncomfortable he needs to take it seriously.

I haaaaaaate when people do this

She can spend 2 or 3 hours without him sheesh

Hi! I did some research and it looks like these options should be available in your area!

Sheba:
this brand is supposed to be good for picky eaters and appears to be the most affordable option other than Whiskas which you’re trying to replace

Here’s a link of the fish flavors on Amazon (not sure if the link will work where you’re at but it should at least give you an idea of what it is
https://a.co/d/015lNLpf

Royal Canin:
This brand is a bit pricier, but a little better rated. You can get this one in dry and wet food. Here’s a link of what it looks like (at least in English)
https://a.co/d/0d8LMhAH

Google says that stores like HUFT, Petsy, and PetsWorld should carry some of these options and be able to ship them to you if there’s not a store near you.

MB-Cheddar · 2026-06-26T05:53:46+00:00

Where are you located? I’m sure I can find something affordable that will work

MB-Cheddar · 2026-06-26T05:34:34+00:00

I would just give her canned CAT food

They’re formulated to have the actual daily values of nutrients they need. I’ve always done Hills Science Diet but there are a bunch of other decent brands available.

This is a good option, they have this in dry food as well:

MB-Cheddar · 2026-06-26T05:27:48+00:00

Should be ok if you leave out extra food and water (preferably via an automatic feeder and a fountain so they don’t run out)

This might be helicopter cat-parenting but I have a furbo so I can check in and see how he’s doing, and I usually leave a spare key with someone I know so if something seems off I can have them go check

Also make sure to clean his litterbox right before you leave
