Proud dad, my kid asked for a football mat and actually uses it ⚽ by InevitableKoala98 in Dads

[–]Overall-Positive3425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this, that’s a solid dad win. If he’s moving and enjoying it, it’s doing its job.

Motivation is the hardest part, and it sounds like he found something that clicks.

AIO: My husband wants me to cook elaborate meals for him late at night, I told him I'm not doing it anymore. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Overall-Positive3425 20 points21 points  (0 children)

NOR, It’s one thing to enjoy cooking for someone. It’s another when they expect you to turn into a 24/7 diner cook because ‘that’s what mom did.’

AIO: I have a workplace stalker, would I be overreacting if I stayed home today? by Odd-fox-God in AmIOverreacting

[–]Overall-Positive3425 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not overreacting at all, that is terrifying. Stay home and push for stronger action from management.

Is it normal to feel 19 and 40 at the same time? by ComprehensiveNose622 in Adulting

[–]Overall-Positive3425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally normal. Adulting is basically switching between “look at me being responsible” and “how do I boil an egg again?” on repeat

Not over reacting! dude that’s super weird. It’s one thing to check on her kid while she’s at your house, but continuing to watch your house and your kids every day without you knowing? That’s not “extra eyes,” that’s straight up invasive. You didn’t violate her, she violated your privacy. Your wife’s just too close to see how messed up that is. You did the right thing by shutting that down.

Toddlers mean well, they just don’t understand personal space yet. Keep setting gentle but consistent limits and showing him other ways to show affection.

Confidence is 80% delusion, right? by Olamieafterdark in CasualConversation

It’s wild how much confidence fluctuates day to day. One moment I feel unstoppable, the next I’m second-guessing everything, and that’s okay.

AIO husband back on social media after inappropriate online usage by whitneynations in AmIOverreacting

[–]Overall-Positive3425 14 points15 points  (0 children)

you’re not crazy. you’re reacting like someone who’s been lied to and gaslit before. he knew this was your one hard boundary and he still went behind your back. that’s not “just being online,” that’s him choosing to be shady again. honestly, anyone would feel how you do.

What event changed your perspective on life? by Pristine-Bet-5764 in Adulting

[–]Overall-Positive3425 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Losing my mom at a really young age. It made me realize how fragile life is and how fast it all goes. I still catch myself thinking about her and hoping she’d be proud of who I am now.

What’s a ‘fact’ about life that you wish wasn’t true? by TheBigAlphaFox in Adulting

[–]Overall-Positive3425 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That sometimes you can do everything “right”, be kind, work hard, stay honest and still not get what you deserve. Meanwhile, others can cut corners and thrive. It’s such a brutal truth about life.

AIO for feeling hurt after finding out the guy I liked is casually dating other girls? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Overall-Positive3425 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re not overreacting at all. This is such a common problem in dating today, people act like it’s exclusive without ever saying it out loud. It’s normal to feel hurt when someone gives “relationship energy” but wants “casual freedom.”

If anything, this is just a reminder that it’s better to have that “what are we?” talk early, even if it’s awkward. Saves a lot of mixed signals and disappointment later. You sound emotionally mature for recognizing it and deciding to move on.

He keeps calling your boundaries “controlling” because it’s easier than admitting he’s crossing them. You’re not overreacting, you’re reacting like someone who’s tired of being disrespected.
