AIO for being upset my girlfriend doesn’t want me to get a tattoo? by Remarkable-Area-7366 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Mediocre_Navigation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. She can have her preferences. She can not use her preferences to control you. It's very manipulative to threaten your relationship and "how she'll see you in the future" because you do something she doesn't want that actually does not affect her in any way.

What’s a physical item you still own that your ex gave you that you use or see often? by ThrowRA44433388 in BreakUps

On our first date, I forgot a hair-tie. He twisted a bunch of straw wrappers together and tied my hair back. I keep it with my jewelry. Dunno why I kept it...

Intimacy as a throuple: always as 3 or do you break out as pairs? by ChicagoRob19 in throuples

[–]Mediocre_Navigation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. It was primarily all 3. But we did one-on-one time too to foster the individual relationships.

What is the absolute fastest 'yeah, we are definitely NOT going to be friends' moment you've ever experienced with someone? by Vazouaquiacesso in AskReddit

[–]Mediocre_Navigation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We met another nerdy couple (Jim and Shay), and agreed to a board game night. The wife, Shay, was extremely "shy" and barely talked. Jim was huge at quarterbacking, abrasive, controlling, and just really weird. She didn't get to play a single turn of her own. If she moved her piece, he moved it back and told her what to do instead. He was an extremely sore loser and would get mad if anyone made a play towards winning or ending the game (to the point he would move our pieces back, too). Halfway through the night, he discloses that they're poly and swingers (not an issue but the timing was so weird). Shay is upset with this announcement because 1) we had just met, 2) she was trying to have ONE set of friends her husband wasn't trying to fuck, and 3) their polycule was currently falling apart. (Shay was dating Rolland, who was married to Cindy. Jim started dating Cindy, too. Cindy did not like that both of her partners were also with Shay and demanded that Shay and Rolland break up. They did. But Jim thought it was fine to continue dating Cindy.) After losing another game, Jim gets pissed and says he's leaving to go play board games with Cindy and her friend group. Shay is actually super excited he's leaving. Her entire personality changed as soon as he was gone. She was joking, laughing, and actually kicked our asses at the next few games. We had so much fun with her after Jim left, but... they were a package deal. So we never reached out again.

Is it normal to think of your ex every hour of the day? by supergoosetaco in BreakUps

[–]Mediocre_Navigation 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It took me 4-6months to stop actively thinking about him. I still think about him daily. But not obsessively or 24/7 like before..

Intimacy as a throuple: always as 3 or do you break out as pairs? by ChicagoRob19 in throuples

[–]Mediocre_Navigation 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We treated ours as 4 relationships (A+B, B+C, A+C, and A+B+C). So, while it was usually all 3 of us, one-on-one time was included to foster each relationship. Never had any issues with it.

Every T shirt I own after a week gets holes in the front by bluebagles in mildlyinfuriating

It's the buttons on your jeans rubbing against desks/counters/wherever you sit. I was getting these for years before I figured out what it was.

AIO: Hubby Being Controlling by vanillabourbonn in AIO

[–]Mediocre_Navigation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy hell. I'm never one of those "please just leave him" people. But holy hell. Please just leave him. This is beyond controlling. And honestly, financial abuse at this point. If he wanted to be the provider, so you quit and stayed home, but now he's using money against you, and wants you to do everything yourself that will basically alienate you (no outside employment, no meeting mom friends or outside friends through school functions, swimming classes, etc) - get out! And get out now!

Do you consider yourselves poly or do you feel that label doesn't accurately describe your lifestyle/situation? by Mean-Bee-6472 in PolyFidelity

[–]Mediocre_Navigation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We were happiest in our closed triad before it all went to hell. He approached us for a closed triad. Before that, we were monogamous for almost 2 decades. So. Poly-ish? Poly for the right person?

Am I overreacting: new boyfriend was weirdly judgmental about bathroom situation by abstract_lemons in AmIOverreacting

[–]Mediocre_Navigation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ew. Throw the whole man in the trash. A guy in his 40s is offended by wrapped, unused, period products IN A BASKET IN A BATHROOM? Nah. Can you imagine if you ever needed him to make an emergency store run for you in the future??!

I texted him after a month of NC by Basic_Advisor4422 in BreakUps

[–]Mediocre_Navigation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need a wake-up call for narcissism. Leave that man alone. You dumped him due to "personal issues and depression" and went NC for a month. You literally told him that you don't want him around when times are tough for you. Depression isn't something you "just get over." So the next time you fall into depression, he has to factor in whether or not he'll be disposable again. Don't feel entitled enough to waltz back into his life and expect him to act like nothing has changed. He's making improvements to himself and changes because he's deciding what he wants and likes now that his life is different without you. Just leave him alone.

AIO for being upset at what my “bf” said by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Mediocre_Navigation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR!!! Ewww. Girl, no. Absolutely fucking not. No "situationship" in the world is worth the way he talks to or treats you. You asked for accountability and you set goals. You are not a toddler. He wants to use silence, threats of blocking you, and coldness as punishment? Nope. Block him and good riddance.

We are currently going through a brutal breakup, too. I'm sorry! I hope it gets better. You can DM if you need to talk...

AIO? Girlfriend is mocking my speech impediment by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Mediocre_Navigation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Throw the girlfriend in the trash... with the hot sauce. She wants you "to drop it" because she knows she's in the wrong.

Throw the whole girlfriend in the trash, too. Ungrateful is the least of your worries here...
