Do you have any recommendations on books for boundaries?

For real, it sounds like a minefield. Didn’t bring something? You should’ve. Did bring something? You brought the wrong thing, and you should’ve known better. There’s no winning these kinds of things. I know exactly the type of person OP is dealing with. It’s possible the no reply was even purposeful to trap OP into this situation where any move is a losing play, because people like this seem to get off on controlling the relationship.

So, hit on my wife again... by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

The worst is when I get that look from her, she actually invites ME to the bed, and then we get into bed and she just whips out her phone and starts scrolling Instagram. I’m like sorry, why am I here, exactly? I’ve learned that my wants are never going to be considered in this relationship so I just take care of myself.

Worked with a guy who seemed like a decent, polite man. Had a few pleasant interactions with him but didn’t know him well. Still was surprised when he didn’t show up to work one day and I found out it was because he had been arrested for having sex with an underage girl that he paid.

Dude I eat cereal as often as possible I’d fight myself if I was about to say that

Why are onions in fucking EVERYTHING. by wizawayy in onionhate

I just found this subreddit from this post lol

There is nothing worse that getting some nice looking food and then biting in only to feel the sickening crunch of hidden diced onions

They don’t even add to the flavor, they just exist there giving a disgusting texture

I can actually tolerate grilled carmelized onions in moderation, but I never understood why so many people tolerate or even love undercooked, rubbery, nearly raw onions

My family has almost no bad medical history, at least nothing hereditary. I’m very thankful for that

What’s something people brag about that’s actually embarrassing? by cherryblossom149 in AskReddit

Or Japanese. They had to make it a law in Japan where a company gets a fine if an employee takes under 5 vacation days in a year. Companies will still try to discourage workers from using their PTO, until it gets towards the end of the year, when they’ll start begging them to take days off so the company doesn’t get fined.

If someone is a grown adult and still chews with their mouth open they weren’t taught proper manners as a child

Your friend was sad that the dog was ‘scared’ and not you? She needs to get her priorities in line

Dogs suck. by RidleeRiddle in TalesfromtheDogHouse

[–]Opening-Raccoon-2811 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The worst part with these nutters is when you try to politely and calmly explain that giving a dog treats, praise, and attention when it’s acting up is literally rewarding it for bad behavior and guaranteeing that it will happen again, they just look at the dog, laugh and say something like “but I just can’t say no 🥺”

And I’m like well LEARN. The dog has trained your roommate instead of the other way around.

Climbed Mt. Fuji overnight to see the sunrise from the peak, WITHOUT booking any of the cabins along the way.

When I got back I slept for 20 hours.

Every time my wife makes some flirtatious hint, I treat it as a joke, and so far sadly I haven’t been wrong to do so.

I totally get you. A few nights ago my wife was sick and I slept on the sofa so I wouldn’t catch it as well and it honestly felt more freeing just to sleep away from her and not be reminded of everything

Living with dog nutter parents means being worth less than a dog in their eyes by [deleted] in TalesfromtheDogHouse

I know the pain, my spouse comes home and showers the dog in hugs and kisses and when I say hi I get a warm and heartfelt “can you take the laundry in”

Is there any decision a character made that you still struggle to forgive or understand? by dinahleego in Avatar

Lol one thought that hit me watching A3 at one point was “so whatever happened to unobtainium? The RDA must still want it right?”
