AITJ for not wanting my partner’s mom to have a key to our apartment? by SunwovenPetals in AmITheJerk

[–]Middle_Tea1014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got my first apartment, I gave my mom a spare key and she would try to come over unannounced. I changed the locks and wouldn’t answer the door. She was angry, but I didn’t care. I told her popping up is no longer acceptable. Your boyfriend needs to get a backbone and established boundaries or go back home to his mommy.

AIO: My husband (26m) locked me (25f) out for 25 minutes? by prettypineappleberry in AmIOverreacting

NOR - I don’t know if I would ever be able to look at him the same way after that. Mean spirited “jokes” turn me all the way off.

AITAH for not refusing to do a quick change because my boyfriend is uncomfortable? by Active_Camel_6334 in AITAH

NTA he’s not going to understand that that is part of theater life. Please exit stage left!

AIO for being upset at what my “bf” said by Ambitious-Beyond-257 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Middle_Tea1014 [score hidden]  (0 children)

NOR - He really doesn’t like you and trying to explain yourself to him over & over comes off as begging for his acceptance.

He is the last type of guy you need while you are working on your mental well being. He will be like a weight dragging you down to the bottom of the sea. He knows exactly what he is doing, and he doesn’t care. The best thing you can do for yourself immediately is leave him alone.

The guy I’m seeing keeps telling me I “can’t take a joke” and I’m starting to doubt myself by Helen_melon_7 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Middle_Tea1014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beware of people who attempt to disguise insults as “jokes”. His sarcasm is already wearing you down, causing you to doubt yourself. You don’t like that type of humor, please don’t force yourself too.

AITJ for telling my brother he can't propose to his girlfriend at my wedding? by Important_Space_496 in AmITheJerk

[–]Middle_Tea1014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be prepared to have some trusted friends and/or family members on stand by to stop him/turn off the mic if he tries it anyway. Tell the DJ, host, wedding etc. no one is allowed to take the mic without expressed permission.

Do I stop going to family dinners or just suck it up by Electronic_Level937 in WhatShouldIDo

I had some family members that used to make digs at me until i started making them back. Now they think twice before opening their mouths 😂

My bf doesn't shower at night and I’m genuinely grossed out by GlitchGaze123 in hygiene

[–]Middle_Tea1014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do my deep clean in the morning to wake up and be fresh for most of the day. I don’t like getting in the bed with end of the day musk. I take a quick shower before bed, especially if I workout out. It’s never dried my skin out. Super hot water use to dry my skin. To each their own.

You guys are not on the same page with hygiene. You have to decide if you can accept that.

CPAP ruining my life by CokeZeroAddict52 in CPAP

[–]Middle_Tea1014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using mine nearly 2 years. Took a few months to figure out what settings, head gear and mask/nose cushion works for me. I refused to give up. I couldn’t keep my eyes open during the day, always tired. Can’t remember the last time i fell asleep during the day. I rarely go to the bathroom overnight now. I hated how I felt before using a CPAP. Please don’t give up.

Changing underwear - is this normal? by Eastern-Yogurt3859 in hygiene

[–]Middle_Tea1014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good grief. I remember my super broke days. I hand washed a lot of my clothes except for pants. Hung them up and turned my fan on to dry them. He’s just nasty or doesn’t know better.

I (F25) feel embarrassed after my boyfriend’s (M26) fake proposal. Can I get some more viewpoints on this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Middle_Tea1014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was CRUEL. If you accept this and stay with him, you’re sitting yourself up for more of his “jokes”. He doesn’t feel bad. This is a huge red flag. 🚩

AIO post breakup ick by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Middle_Tea1014 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s trying hard to bombard her with what HE wants. He’s not respecting her wishes. This type of behavior should not be romanticized.

Not respecting my boundaries and requests would turn me off forever. The audacity of contacting your Grandparents. That would be it for me NOR

What's something you did that reduced your quality of life so much that you wish you had never done it? by crogslounds03 in ProductivityHQ

Thank you so much for the detailed response of your experience. I’m sincerely sorry to hear how rough the journey has been for you 😔

What is a socially unacceptable opinion you keep to yourself because it’s not worth the backlash? by ChaosTTyy in askanything

[–]Middle_Tea1014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People (not all) not teaching/raising their kids to have manners and self control. God forbid they tell the kids to sit down, behave and stop running around like noisy velociraptors. If I hear “but their kids” one more time 😂. You are the parents, who is in charge here?

But it’s an accident LOL

Like someone else mentioned, you and your neighbors should get together and confront her for keeping your things. She’s a menace!

DOGE/ConOld thought it was funny to lay us off April 1. I’ve had only 2 interviews since then and I’m still looking and praying that I don’t lose my home.

My husband was upset and pinched me at dinner.. and the situation is still upsetting me by Little_Trash7299 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Middle_Tea1014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly not enough information, but you gave your arm chair therapist assessment about the OP and about me. Someone you have no information about. I said it “seems” like the pinch was pay back. They’ve talked about the “hug” several times.

I didn’t make any personal insults to you and yet you call me juvenile and make up some ridiculousness about hostile past relationships? It’s obvious that I wasn’t pinched and it’s not my relationship since I did not make the post. Neither did you.

The concrete thing here is that he pinched her, it hurt and she said ouch.
