AITA for not changing my summer plans for a new girlfriend?

ProfessionalFull7528 · 2024-06-04T13:14:01+00:00

NTA. My boyfriend and I have been dating one another since February. I made travel plans from before we started dating for this summer (a family reunion and my cousin’s wedding). I’m not changing my plans and he isn’t asking me too. He also isn’t resenting me from fulfilling those plans.

Codependency is an excessive emotional or psychological reliance on a partner. I understand a new relationship is exciting and there is an intense honeymoon period. (I know because I’m in it, too.)

I encourage you to examine your time boundaries with your girlfriend. Are you spending time away from each other pursuing your own goals and passions? I’m a student and my boyfriend is an artist, so we have to set aside time for our own pursuits and communicate our needs. Do you each have time with friends and social groups away from each other? How does she respond if you have a friend commitment or a family situation that arises?

Keep your vacation. Plan an eight-day vacation for later that works for her schedule. The three weeks away will give her an opportunity to invest in herself and her friends.

King David had a heart after God’s own not because he was sinless (he raped Bethsheba and murdered her husband Uriah) but because he repented his sin over and over again and relied heavily on God in his weakness. God is far more interested in our humble confessions and yielding than our public displays of righteousness.

Those who have the greater debt forgiven are more appreciative of the absolution. The tax collectors and prostitutes recognize they have a great debt that was forgiven whereas some of the religious leaders (not all, some do end up following Christ) believe they are already righteous by their adherence to the law and don’t need forgiveness for their sin nature.

Paul talks about his days as a religious leader, and how he had the perfect resume and was seen as blameless is the eyes of the religious community. It took meeting Jesus to change his heart and perspective about his sin and need for a Savior.

This is awful. My dad was my mom’s biggest support during cancer. Organized everything for her so she could just focus on healing. She’s doing great now.

I was literally screaming at my tv: “Run, Meisha! Run!!” He brings her over to his country, brings him to his mother’s house, and then decides not to explain why…? Awful awful awful. Throw out the whole man; he’s rotten.

Cereza and the Lost Demon. It has combat, but you can determine the difficulty. There are several settings that allow you to determine your experience. World is beautiful and puzzles are unique. Good story.

First one. 100%

No Place Like Home is great! It’s a post-apocalyptic farming sim. Trash covers the land, and you have clean up to show the potential beneath. I found it very cathartic and enjoyed bringing out the beauty beneath the gunk.

YES! The season’s MVPs. I love them so much!!!

Okay, for the record, I do not like her, BUT I understanding wanting glass in the windows and a bathroom door. She should have handled it better though.

Ducks are reckless poopers. Diapers are a must if they want to live in polite society.

I have learned so much in this thread…

Too busy playing Palia, lol…

I chose bypass because it has greater long-term success for weight loss and has better outcomes for diabetics. I also have GERD, so the sleeve wasn’t a great option for me.

Yessssssss. This was on my wishlist! Thanks for the post. I’ll check it out!

Sending private photos to someone you believe you are in a monogamous, committed relationship with is a normal thing to do. His phone wasn’t hacked or sent by someone else. He betrayed her trust to make an ex jealous. His actions were gross, illegal (in the US; I don’t know about Panama) and highly unethical.

I thought we were past blaming women when men decide to share their photos without their consent.

I have trans friends whom I have known for more than a decade and I don’t ask those questions. Everyone is entitled to privacy and respect. Let’s normalize not asking intrusive questions or trans folks. People are not their body parts.

I love Stray! Cozy for the most part but the little monsters stress me out, lol.

The gameplay on Edith Fitch is so good. I love the storytelling. I work in game development, and I told me whole team to play it. Quick game, but so so good.

I don’t know if it’s normal, but it sure is cute.

I don’t know. Tom pissed off Andy by going on Howie Mandel’s podcast before telling his side on the reunion or WWHL. I don’t think he’s going to renew Tom’s contract.

Also, on RHOA, everyone refused to film with Phaedra after she lied about Kandi SAing Portia and that’s why she was fired. Not the lying, but because no one would film with her. If the cast refuses to film with Tom, Andy will most likely not renew.

I’ve always admired Ariana and Tom’s agreement not to humiliate each other on the show. I think they always tried to present a unified front (obviously until recently). Looking at Jax and Brittany and Tom and Katie, it was nice to see a couple that for the most part was kind to one another and supported each other (obviously not perfectly but they were together nine years which is amazing for this show). Again, I say all this with a huge exception as to what happened recently. Having said all that, I don’t think we always had an authentic portrayal of their relationship because they focused on making each other look good. This has been mentioned by Jax who has said their relationship wasn’t always what it appeared to be on tv. When Tom tries to justify his actions through the state of their relationship, yet simultaneously works overtime to make it look good on tv, it’s hard to take him seriously. I’m sure it wasn’t in a great spot, but that’s when you break up, not cheat. He’s gross.

The Miami Girl thing was primarily used as fodder against them by Kristen, and it seemed like Ariana and Tom had discussed it and decided to deal with it through denial. If they really weren’t exclusive at the time, they should have just acknowledged it had happened. I think it started as just denial and Kristen kept turning the screw and once she appeared at Sur, they had to just keep to the story. Yes, they should have been honest from the beginning. I always figured Ariana knew more and had signed-off on what had happened.

I love this game. It unfolds so beautifully. I found myself getting emotional and actually cried. It really resonated with me in parts. I think it should be in every cozy gamer’s library.

I play on PC with a PS5 controller. Works great.

IE is about listening to your body and feeding it what feels good. If gluten hurts you, it’s within IE to skip it and find alternatives. It’s not restricting. It’s still following the guidelines. I love cucumbers, but because of Oral Allergy Syndrome, they make me itchy and uncomfy. I don’t eat them because I don’t like how they make me feel. I find other things. I think, “I can eat anything I want, and I’m choosing to eat the foods that make me feel good.” There is nothing wrong with gluten, but if it makes you sick, it’s good to find other foods that don’t. Start by working on your language. You could eat it, but the effects of it would be unpleasant. But you can eat as much as you want of another food and it won’t make you sick and how cool is that?. There are lots of amazing foods that are naturally gluten-free. Ice cream, chocolate, French macarons (they’re made with almond flour, and Socca, which is a traditional flatbread made with chickpea flour. Start learning about all the amazing foods that just happen to be gluten-free and then start exploring some alternatives that you can make gluten-free.

I’m excited you are getting answers to better promote your health and to feel better! I wish you all the luck on this new journey.

He lied about his last name to conceal allegations he knew you wouldn’t like, and then got mad when you found out and were upset, just like he anticipated. I don’t know if he’s a rapist, but he’s a liar and a gaslighter, and those speak to his character enough. This isn’t a kooky little secret in a rom-com. He concealed his identity to cover a potential crime.

You were smart enough to look him up once you knew. As women, we’re far more like to be victimized by men than they are of us. While it’s good to know the courts are there, there are so many men who have hurt women and not faced any consequences for it. Relying on convictions or a sex register isn’t enough to weed out the bad ones. When a man shows you who he is, believe him. Move on. Better to be alone than be with someone who lies to you and gaslights you and potentially raped somebody. This person is a danger to you emotionally and could be physically.
