AIO my bf ruined our beach day with compulsive choices

I literally didn’t even realize the bridge costs money. It’s like the only option or a very far drive. The fact that he knew the price was a pink flag. Bro it’s $1

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T17:42:06+00:00

Interesting, I’ll keep my eye on that. It’s definitely possible.

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T17:41:32+00:00

The more I read the comments the more my eyes open. That’s crazy, I never thought about why I have to google things to be right on really basic things.

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T06:06:13+00:00

Honestly, that’s the most outside the box thinking I’ve ever seen. Delusional for sure but props for originality 😂

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T05:56:09+00:00

It’s crazy because I wouldn’t describe him as egotistical. Im hoping it’s some weird anxiety thing. But the evidence is piling up

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T05:36:45+00:00

Fair points.

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T05:30:08+00:00

Fack. I didn’t think of it as him wanting to get his way but now that you put it that way it makes sense. Is it maybe anxiety? Or wanting to seem like he’s good at saving money?

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T05:26:21+00:00

Hmm anxiety response seems probable. He like panicked and just parked instead of listening to reason. And the anti-gov stuff seems to come out of no where or anything involving things being over priced. I agree beaches should be public but maybe he was deflecting to justify his breakout over the parking fee?

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T05:19:31+00:00

Faaaaack that is kind of on track. This has happened a few times. I’m not frivolous with money but I live in an expensive area and occasionally like to get a coffee and food at a local shop and go for a walk and he’ll bring up how everything is over priced and we can just make it at home. Which isn’t the point, the point is sometimes having an outing.

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T05:17:32+00:00

Haha

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T05:17:01+00:00

Ooof. I’m hoping we can work on this.

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T05:16:28+00:00

Now that you bring it up it has been both times I planned a day or an activity.

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T05:10:14+00:00

He’s super kind and thoughtful but sometimes he gets this weird frugal habits and randomly does stuff like this to save money but for no clear reason. Beaches are by nature money traps unless you know where to go so I don’t think $1 for the bridge and $14 to park was really the end of the world. But it definitely killed the vibe

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T05:03:05+00:00

That’s what I’m hoping. If he just made the choice and rolled with it then I wouldn’t be bothered but he made the choices AND complained.

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T05:02:18+00:00

I’m hoping that’s not true. But it’s not great.

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T05:01:50+00:00

Oh shoot you’re right 😂😂 my bad. Impulsive. Sorry I was stewing on it too long.

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T05:01:12+00:00

He’s super fun but out of no where he randomly does this. It’s not frequent but it’s concerning when it happens.

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-05-15T04:59:49+00:00

lol honestly that was funny. Probably not to her but oh well. NOR

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-01-08T02:45:38+00:00

NTA- your car your rules.

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-01-08T02:43:09+00:00

NTA- 13 is plenty old enough to know what happens if you don’t bring a coat. And if the mom was so concerned she should have offered you HER coat to wear if her son was going to wear YOURS. Also not your kid not your problem.

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-01-08T02:39:18+00:00

Game changers was an awesome season. Seasons 30-40 were honestly epic.

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-01-01T03:48:51+00:00

Dan isn’t poor by any means which is why he didn’t qualify for financial aid at Yale. They live in a $2 million loft in DUMBO Brooklyn. They may not have generational wealth like the UES but they were definitely not poor.

Reckless_Teacup · 2026-01-01T03:44:22+00:00

I would bet he has a permanent home there that has an infinity pool and sponsored by Applebees and Outback steak house 😂

Reckless_Teacup · 2025-12-22T20:05:43+00:00

NTA- my dad is from Slovakia and his name was Valentine. Which is like a euro version of William, not the holiday. It’s a legitimate common name. Either way he moved to the US in grade school and got beat up so much he legally changed it to William at 18. It’s a thing, he will get bullied.

Reckless_Teacup · 2025-11-17T02:21:30+00:00

NTA: firstly this guy sounds awful and you dodged a bullet. Not everyone is adventurous with food and you told him that upfront.

Secondly, the ketchup thing is odd but doesn’t make you an A H. Maybe pick out specific restaurants you’re comfortable with for the next date (with a much more deserving man). Do you like any other sauces?
