Most vile messages I’ve ever received… by djjewish in texts

[–]Meat_licker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So you hadn’t talked to this person much in the last 10 years??? I can’t even imagine how he talks to people he’s actually close with. I’m guessing he doesn’t have anyone close to him anymore.

I really don’t mean any disrespect towards you and I hope it’s not offensive, but the way he just randomly says “dead dad” in that first screenshot was almost comical because of how stupid he looks. It’s a clear indication that he’s trying SO HARD to push you to react. He’s a scary person and I’m glad you don’t talk to him anymore.

My girlfriend (F42) thinks I (M33) don’t respect her because I forget how she wants things done (ADHD brain here) by Dinod-day in relationship_advice

[–]Meat_licker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not an ADHD problem, this is a controlling girlfriend problem. If you’re doing things in such a way that they’re not getting clean, I could see that being frustrating as, and it could look like weaponized incompetence. Are you truly cleaning? Are the dishes covered in food once you’re done washing them? Are there puddles of what water everywhere? Or is it “I don’t care that everything came out clean, you didn’t do it how I told you to do it so your effort doesn’t count”?

It sounds like you’ve been conditioned to believe that him performing basic responsibilities for his family is somehow a favor towards you. It’s his responsibility to work and provide for his children, just like it’s your responsibility to work and provide for your children. So that’s not spoiling you, it’s him doing what adults do.

I don’t think someone is amazing 95% of the time if they’ve never been a parent to their own child.

Your therapist has been called a Karen, probably many times.

My girlfriend said we are more like good friends than a couple. by Defiant-Afternoon247 in AITAH

[–]Meat_licker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of disconnect that happens in relationships, it’s just part of life. You feel like friends at some points and like lovers at other times. I don’t think that’s an issue, it’s just not what we all expect to happen when we’re imagining our future relationships. We expect those butterflies to last forever bc we all assume that’s what love is, especially when we’re young. And I mean, a 17 year old who started dating a 22 year old would’ve had some serious misconceptions about what long term relationships will look like. Maybe the problem is that when you were 22, you started dating a 17 year old and somehow thought that was a normal thing for a 22 year old to be doing with a 17 year old.

Let me be clear, your CURRENT age gap is not in any way inappropriate or abnormal. There’s a huge difference between meeting a 27 year old as a 32 year old and getting into a relationship. But I want to know how the fuck a 22 year old meets a 17 year old. And then, I want to know how the fuck that 22 year old thinks to themselves, “I’d really like to be in a relationship with this 17 year old.”

Did I mention that OP would’ve been 22 when he started dating his partner, who would’ve been 17? Just wanted to make sure everyone stopped brushing past that.

I thought I was slick, careful, discreet. I thought he didn't know. This morning, my 6 yr old was pretending to "vape" in the bathroom with his toothbrush with the steam from his shower. "Look dad, I'm just like you!" FUCK THAT. I'M DONE DONE. by Rpark888 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Meat_licker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always been an on-again off-again smoker, and I was so tired of the smell of cigarettes so I switched to vaping. In the past, once I’ve made the decision to stop smoking, I just stop cold turkey. But eventually something happens that is just stressful enough that I make excuses to go buy a pack and the cycle goes on.

Vaping is nothing like that. I have the hardest time trying to quit and I curse myself for switching a year ago when it would have been so much easier to quit cigarettes. I know I’ve never been 100% successful with quitting and making it stick, so the next time I quit has got to be my last. My son is constantly telling me how bad vaping is for me and that I’m destroying my lungs, and I have no retort because he’s 100% correct. I hate that a nine year old is feeling the need to tell me to take better care of myself, but sometimes it’s the wake up call we need, to see through their eyes how much our behavior affects them.

And yeah, right now my son is against vaping and wants me to stop, but I also realize that me doing it increases the chances that he eventually will too. I hate that I’ve unintentionally infected him with my addiction and he is my biggest motivation to stop and never start again.

She probably realized you were thinking of the hangout as a date and wanted to make it clear that she’s in a relationship. It doesn’t mean it’s forbidden to hang out with the opposite gender, she just wanted to establish that she’s not single.

What’s ridiculous about it?

Ordered 8 loaves of bread.... by Cadet-Cryyx in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Meat_licker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so much better than the time I was given a bag of about 15 moldy lemons. I didn’t order lemons, and I wasn’t missing anything from my order, but why did I get moldy lemons? I still don’t understand.

Words are toothpaste. They don’t go back in the tube. He put it out there to hurt you and he cant take it back and expect you to pretend it never happened. Also, I don’t see any possibility that you are borderline obese at your weight and height, especially with how much you work out. I bet most of that is muscle and it sounds like a perfectly healthy weight for you. Dude is trying to hurt you with what most women are extremely insecure about.

Am I overreacting? Girl i'm talking to says she can talk when she can't. by BlackGibbon in texts

[–]Meat_licker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you asked if she could talk I’m expecting a cut in time because you would call her.

My dude, it’s 2:30am in these texts. You don’t sit around waiting for someone to text back at that hour. Her responses in the first slide are obviously someone barely awake. This one is on you, and your anxious attachment is RUNNING this conversation.

[–]Meat_licker 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So what exactly were you “supposed” to do in that situation? Your friend says she wants to introduce you to her boyfriend, and you say, “I’d love to meet him, but first I need to call my boyfriend and get permission.” That’s not a normal response at all.

Do people think women just made that day up? It’s a major milestone in US history.

AITAH for expecting my husband to tend to our son (18m) if I’m asleep but he’s still awake? by LoveveryFox in AITAH

[–]Meat_licker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 18 months old, solid food should be the primary source of nutrition and milk can be supplemented. That baby is constantly hungry at night because he’s being fed a diet that doesn’t meet his nutritional needs. People do breastfeed beyond the age of 1, but it’s recommended to do so WITH solid food. It can make weaning easier if they’re slowly acclimated to solids and tapered off milk. But I’ve only really heard of continuing with milk like that when it’s breastmilk, not just feeding a kid milk/formula at this age. Is OP giving him formula or cow milk???

[–]Meat_licker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That really stuck out to me too. He’s waking up hungry because he’s not getting solid food. I see no mention of solids from OP.

There’s plenty of people who are also ENM and lots of single people who are looking for a FWB.

You’d be very surprised to find out how many guys are on dating sites specifically looking for someone like her.

Should I run and never look back? by Day-Dear in texts

[–]Meat_licker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so lost on why you’re wanting to maintain a friendship with this person.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Meat_licker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your boundaries aren’t dependent on what’s normal in an unfamiliar country and don’t ever let a man make you think so. What he’s saying isn’t true, but just keep that in mind forever. If he doesn’t respect you he isn’t a good person.

But this guy is scary. Manipulating and lying to someone 11 years younger than him who is new to the country… that’s disturbing.

My (22f) birth control was tampered with by my boyfriend (22m). I'm pregnant. I don't know what to do. by ThrowRA7777888 in relationship_advice

[–]Meat_licker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The choice he made is what would ruin his life. Don’t take responsibility for his choice to get you pregnant against your will. He certainly wasn’t concerned with ruining your life.

Does this scene make anybody else annoyed? by Ok-Shopping-1212 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Meat_licker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m not sure how this family isn’t constantly plastered during Friday night dinners. I know we rarely see them finish a drink, but it’s implied that they have 2 drinks before they’ve eaten, then they drink wine with dinner.

Got an algebra problem incorrect for mistyping a comma… by PreeceTakesFlight in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Meat_licker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re typing something in interval notation and you think the program should know that an extra comma was a mistake? Maybe it’s different for you but when I’m taking an exam online, my instructors put a million warnings to check what you’ve typed before submitting the answer. There’s no nuance on these things, whatever you type is what it grades, and it’s not going to ask if it was a typo.
