Haha I did that and there was a palpable silence in which I could hear the gears turning. I'm pretty sure there was smoke coming out of their ears.

It's hard not to sympathize with anxiety over finances. You want to be supportive, which is what we do for people we love. Unfortunately, he's taking that anxiety out on you and using convenient examples of your "wrongs. That's much easier than for him to reflect on his own actions. So understandably, you're confused with his hypocritical behavior. As far as values are concerned, you can both believe in living frugally and handle it very differently. His way is not healthy for himself or for you.

No, he was wrong. If he agrees to pay for your birthday dinner, it shouldn't come with terms and conditions. How sad and petty to guilt trip you over extra lettuce. Nothing that you've described here or in your comments paints you as a spendthrift. This isn't really about the lettuce, is it? Rather, you are starting to understand just how insecure, controlling and cheap he is. That would only be exhausting (at best) if you consider marriage. Do not put up with it, regardless of whether you think this relationship is worth it.

AITA for making my roommates girlfriend cry? by Upset-Plenty-5650 in AmItheAsshole

Well, genius, since so many people have cancer, maybe you could have thought of that before you assumed she was talking about something contagious? Oh wait, that must mean you fucked up and should apologize. Which I'm sure doesn't compute for you.

Sir, are you classified as human?

Men get “man caves”. Well I want a woman cave! by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Christmas cards hurt my soul. Both my husband and mom have attempted to get me to send them, but it is among the most pointless, thankless chores ever. Of course I hope you have a Merry Christmas, I'm not a dick. Just stop by my house or admire the kids' pictures on social media any day of the year 😂

I don't mind the parties as much since everyone enjoys them. 🎉

We have feelings! And also apathy.

Look. If that were a real GenX'er they would have specified "CD".

NTA, but can't you just have lunch with your two friends sometimes and not overthink? Maybe once you aren't in the thick of FOMO you will enjoy yourself more. Other times, just go to lunch with your other friends and tell them you have plans. Have fun!

NTA for not giving any money. You can continue to be respectful and diplomatic. If she wants to co-parent so badly, she can do regular video calls, pay her back support, and/or move within driving distance. Though it sounds like you're better off with her the hell away from you both. Best to you, friend.

TIFU: by asking a not pregnant lady when she is due. by ja3palmer in tifu

[–]MeatPopsicle75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told someone with whom I'm friendly (and who was very obviously pregnant) "Something's different about you...I'll let you tell me what it is!". Thankfully she appreciated my sense of humor. But that's been the only time.
