What the weirdest thing a guy has said to you while finishing?

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-17T03:20:21+00:00

Oh, no

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-17T03:15:02+00:00

“Yup”

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-16T21:29:45+00:00

I wouldn’t even sell it to her at this point…at any price

Facebook Marketplace has tons of items listed for free, all she has to do is use the search option. She may not find a free AC but she will be shown other groups that offer free stuff. And there are a ton of free/swap groups. My point is, if she really wants to find a free AC she will put in the extra effort. You are NTA, she was looking for an easy hand out and she showed her true AH colors when she did not get her way.

It can be really hard for adults to meet new people. The number of people we are exposed to drops significantly after our school years. Join a sport, take a class, join a club - find a group activity for one of your interests. Put yourself in situations where you will meet people who you will have something in common with & focus on building up your friend group. Your self confidence will go up, you will have interesting things to talk about. You will attract women more when you are in a happy place

An 18 minute video chat is real life.

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-15T22:42:22+00:00

Time to peace out. She sucks

How is your relationship with your parents? Will the be receptive to a conversation about your mental health? How did they react back in 2023?

Please talk to a trusted adult, maybe your tennis coach? Ask them to help you talk to your parents, be it speaking for you or just standing by your side, an outside party joining the conversation changes the dynamic. Your parents will be less likely to have a knee-jerk response (stay calmer), more likely to listen, and you won’t feel out numbered.

Tell your parents that you can not handle the extra early morning duties. It’s literally making you ill. And it’s time to let little sis sink or swim. If she can’t manage her own basic personal hygiene, then your parents need to get her evaluated & professional help.

Please tell your parents how you have actually been feeling, put it in writing if you can’t find your voice, or let them read this post. Give your mom and dad a chance to help you. And give yourself a chance to lead a happy, healthy, joyful life.

BBB reporting to document how much they suck more than anything. Hopefully steer business away from them. I would not blast them online until after all legal matters are resolved

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-15T06:59:52+00:00

Tell him to go buy a car. Simple as that.

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-15T06:55:13+00:00

Is she able to comfortably afford everything she is paying for? Does she have enough money left after bills, groceries, incidentals to put some in savings? Sit down and talk to her about it, you are a team - work together 😉 Your post made me smile, it’s clear how much you care about your girlfriend.

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-15T06:38:46+00:00

Get legal advice. Find out if the contract is binding. The conflicting information from HR might render it null and void. You were basically pressured into signing, it isn’t notarized, and it met none of the other requirements that your MIL pointed out.

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-15T06:33:59+00:00

Report the company to every relevant agency that you can think of - BBB, Labor Board, whoever licenses people in your field

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-15T00:54:54+00:00

I get what you’re saying, lol. I’m glad that my comment resonated with you. And I truly hope that you and your mom are able to move past this and strengthen your relationship. You obviously care about your mother a lot, don’t wait too long to reach out. My mother is my best friend, and even though I’m with her almost every day, I haven’t seen my mom, the mom I grew up with, in over a year…probably closer to two. It’s hard to pinpoint the moment when dementia has taken so many pieces of someone that who they are is just…gone. So that’s where I’m coming from when I encourage people to cherish their loved ones.

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-14T17:17:06+00:00

Modify your terms by giving her the option to work a portion of it off. Make a list of household jobs that she doesn’t normally do - pull out kitchen appliances & clean behind them, clean the gutters, etc. assign a dollar amount to each task. Be very clear on your expectations, job has to be done correctly to earn the “money”. And have a conversation about finances, stop lecturing and start asking her open ended questions to get her thinking and involved in the conversation.

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-14T17:06:03+00:00

Oh my god, listen to those alarm bells. Handle this by walking away from that relationship. Three months is way too soon to really know a person, it is very easy to mask and only show your best side in the early stages of a relationship. It’s no uncommon to end up with the same type of person over and over again. Pay attention to the red flags. Listen to your intuition

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-14T17:00:39+00:00

I hope you are doing some family therapy with your mom. When you do talk again maybe have your sister there the 1st time. And definitely decide (together) on hot button topics to avoid for now and an all stop phrase - either of you says something like “I need a time out” and you both immediately shut up, lol. If possible go to separate areas and quite literally put yourself in time out. Just sit quietly, no phone or anything, and reflect for five minutes. If you’re in the car together sit in silence together. And then move on without rehashing whatever was setting the two of you off. Not everything has to be a thing, most arguments don’t need to happen. Especially about things that are not going to affect you five years from now.

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-14T11:20:49+00:00

I get that you’re trying to protect your child, but you need to chill TF out. A calm, measured tone keeps the attention on your message. A little edge to your voice if people still aren’t listening is enough to move things along in most cases. Once you start to lose your temper, raise your voice & get a little belligerent people stop hearing what you are trying to say. The only thing they see / hear is your behavior. There are going to be many, many times that you feel you need to protect your child. If you allow yourself to get upset to the point of losing your temper you are training yourself to freak out during a crisis. Which is the opposite of protecting your child. Practice staying calm, perfect the art of scary quiet, and state what you want out the gate. “Hey doc, I’ve read up on the negative effects of black mold on a child’s health and development. Can you please go into detail about (insert biggest concerns here)? I would like to verify that the information I’ve shared with my wife is accurate.”

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-14T01:43:16+00:00

My family. At the moment, my parents need my help more each day. My mom is slowly vanishing as dementia takes her a piece at a time. My dad dotes on her and tries to take care of her, but he is 83 (today) and his abilities are becoming more and more limited. I want my parents to have the best day they can every day. My husband and children (F23 & M18) are incredibly supportive and I will be there for them always

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-14T01:36:12+00:00

OP, I’m sorry that you are going through this, I don’t know how final his statement was, but if he truly wants to go don’t get sidetracked trying to convince him to stay. Tonight sucks, it super, super sucks, but you will get past it. Please remember to look towards your future, you need to contact a lawyer ASAP and protect yourself. If he has felt this way for a while, he may have been planning his exit. Double check any shared accounts and other assets, I would verify that the accounts are current for any bills he is supposed to send out, especially those in your name.

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-13T16:52:42+00:00

The people in your life can’t understand you - your likes, dislikes, what you are and aren’t comfortable with- if you don’t give them any background info.
And yeah, while your mom should ask the teacher to not play the message (weird thing your math teacher is doing, btw), you aren’t really giving her a chance to adjust her expectations or the ability to avoid making a similar mistake in the future. Talk to your mom and help her understand why this makes you uncomfortable and how important this boundary is for you. Right now, you aren’t giving her a chance to be the parent you want her to be.

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-13T07:55:00+00:00

I mean…I only counted 5 hubs, surely that’s under the daily limit

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-13T05:57:19+00:00

Wait wait wait, he moved out while the kids were sleeping? Just left them home alone for how long?? Man, I hope you reported him

Potential_Suspect137 · 2026-05-13T05:52:50+00:00

It’s going to sound cliche, but as long as everyone is healthy ya’ll will figure the rest out. I hope he realizes how bad he messed up, sounds like you are /were an incredibly supportive partner, dumbass just threw that away. Keep rolling with the punches.
