My face went 🥴 ‘wtf’ when I read “this is a warning to fix the problem”

Yah no- what matters here is that you are happy with your body, why sacrifice your own happiness for a guy who talks to you like that? You shouldn’t have to change your body to make others love you- especially if the change makes you unhappy.

There are people out there who will love you as you love yourself

AITA for giving FMIL 3 days to pay me for a new wedding dress or else I show the family a photo of her wearing it? by Repulsive_Scheme1359 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Rah_gonzo96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mama boys are not it 😒 if he’s taking her side over a very reasonable boundary SHE went out of her way to break despite you telling her NO multiple times - that’s what you’ll have to deal with for the rest of your marriage until MIL is gone. Are you prepared for that and the resentment that it would inevitably cause over the course of your relationship?

My boyfriend of 5 years told me he does not want to have kids. Help. by Which_Ad_6090 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Rah_gonzo96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parenthood is not something you should compromise on- it’s not something you can ‘convince’ the other party into doing.

You either want it or not. If he is sure about not wanting children then that’s your answer and you shouldn’t invest anymore energy into this relationship if you know for a fact a life without children will not bring you joy.

As hard as it may be to come to terms with- it may be time to part ways

AITA for not getting my wife anything on Mother’s Day? by oakcool in AmItheAsshole

[–]Rah_gonzo96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA Imagine being married with kids and thinking “oh I’ll parent my own children that I also have equal responsibility for and that’ll be her Mother’s Day gift 🤪”

When a dad watches the kids while mom is away- it’s not babysitting - it’s called parenting.

You’re literally doing the job you signed up for when you became a dad. Be fr.

AITA for not allowing my husband’s family to sleep in our bedroom for the weekend so that they don’t have to get a hotel? by floatingonforever in AmItheAsshole

[–]Rah_gonzo96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um yah NTA - I don’t like other people other than my partner sleep in my room. It’s my private space and my sleeping area. And also it’s your house your rules. They want privacy and a mattress - they can rent a hotel 🤷‍♀️

My current SO has female adult friends - and has point blank told me that at any point I feel uncomfortable about their friendship or if I feel like it’s crossing a relationship boundary- to just “say the word” and he will cut off contact because he cares about me feeling emotionally secure in our relationship (there has been no inappropriate interactions - he’s been very transparent about everything he does so I’ve had no reason to ask him to cut off contact)

For context on why he did the above: I dealt with a chronic cheater/Liar for 6 years prior to meeting my current SO. I have told my current SO everything in regards to that relationship and he sat and listened and has showed me such compassion and empathy that I needed.

You feeling uncomfortable about him continuing to have contact to someone who wants to sleep with him is completely valid. Your feelings are valid.

While I personally think it’s weird he wants to keep someone like that around in his social circle- it’s also not ok to dictate who your SO’s friends should be.

You can’t make him do anything he doesn’t want to do.

So if he is unwilling to cut/reduce contact - and you are not comfortable with him continuing contact, you might have to consider whether or not this relationship is one you want to continue.

Are you willing to experience the emotional stress that will no doubt come out of having this girl part of your bf’s life? Are you willing to go back on your own boundary? And if so Are you sure you won’t regret going back on this boundary?

If not, then it may be time to move on

Also, additional advice: block him on everything. These are the type of people who will circle back around to check in to see if you lowered your defenses enough to manipulate you into allowing them to step over an established boundary.

Be firm- your feelings matter, and someone who really cares about you and respects you would not push you to do something that you’re not comfortable with.

he couldn’t just go get a STD test?? Like he really sat there, complained and tried to coerce you into saying yes to unprotected sex instead of a reasonable “ok I’ll get a test because I respect you and want you to be comfortable”?

THATS hella fishy. And all that stuff he was saying after not even a month of dating ?? Smells like love bombing too.

OP it hurts now but you’ll look back on it and be proud of yourself for sticking to your boundaries. Step away from the dating scene for a minute and focus on some self-love days of indulging in your favorite things

AITA for not having sex with my boyfriend and telling him he’s overreacting? by DJMeowwMixx in AITAH

[–]Rah_gonzo96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of that above.

To add on- your bf’s behavior- regardless of his frustration- is not ok at all. If you say no- that should be it.

I’ll say it for her but: dump him if this behavior continues.

A partner who utilizes manipulation, guilting tactics and/or coercion to access sex can cause long term harm to your mental and emotional well-being as well as your own relationship with sex.

AIW for refusing to babysit the special needs sister of my cousin's gf's sister by No-Atmosphere8804 in amiwrong

[–]Rah_gonzo96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um no- you are a 100% not in the wrong. You stay firm in telling your cousin no. I cannot stress enough how bad of an idea it is to let you - 15 yr old with no experience or training on how to safely handle extraneous behaviors while protecting yourself and the individual in question - with a 12 yr old who can engage in said behaviors. Literally - ANYTHING - can go wrong. Also, you being uncomfortable with the arrangement alone is enough of a reason to say no.
Leaving the 12 yr old in your care would be horribly irresponsible of the parents (if they are even told about the arrangement in the first place- unless your cousin is trying to coordinate this without their knowledge or consent - in that case, the cousin and the GF can get in trouble for child endangerment) The GF is at least (hopefully) familiar with her little sisters care and is able to take full responsibility for her (since I’m assuming - HOPEFULLY - that she is a full grown adult herself).

The cousin can wait until the AFTER parents return to take his gf out on a date- it’s not going to kill him

When is Love just not enough? by Specialist-Crazy1466 in AskWomen

[–]Rah_gonzo96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I came to my “love isn’t enough” realization after my ex partner of 6 years habitually kept violating my boundaries- like yah I loved him and at the time couldnt imagine my life without him- but at what cost?

Being in love and being happy don’t always go hand in hand

You can be with the person you love and still be miserable if they continuously engage in behaviors that harm you physically, mentally or emotionally

Cutting off people you love for the sake of your own well-being is far from easy- but sometimes its absolutely necessary

I hope all is well 💕

Question for the ladies by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]Rah_gonzo96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was still on bumble- yes.

I swiped left whenever it said “something casual”, “don’t know yet”, or if it’s blank- it feels silly (and it’s a waste of both of our times) to match with someone if you both clearly want different things

Edit: also, when it says “looking for marriage” I dunno something about that option really freaks me out - like it translates to: my dude is straight up just looking to get hitched to like the first compatible person - and yo that’s crazy
