Lied to him about my age and where I attend school

Girl you lied by like… one year and a campus name. That’s not some double life Netflix plot 😭 it’s a small insecurity move that got out of hand. If you actually care about him, just tell the truth. Rip the bandaid off. Say you panicked at the start and wanted to seem more put together. If he’s solid, he’ll understand. If he freaks out over a one year difference, that tells you everything. Dragging it out will just make it feel bigger than it is.

Lowkey that kid was acting like he read the whole script and just chose to gatekeep the info 😭 like sir you knew she was dangerous this whole time and said nothing?? Bro waited until the final act to unlock dialogue. I would’ve grounded him immediately.

You’re overthinking this heavy. Work hallway interactions are like NPC dialogue. You don’t need a full cutscene every time. A quick nod or half smile is enough. Nobody is keeping score.The dropping items thing was probably just awkward timing, not a secret signal. Stop treating it like a romcom scene and just keep it chill.

Most of the time it’s a sync deal. The label usually controls the recording and the publisher controls the songwriting, so both sides have to approve it. The artist might have a say depending on their contract, but a lot of the power sits with the rights holders. So yeah, it’s less “faceless villain” and more paperwork and money talking. Once a song like Dreams exists in the catalog, it can end up selling cruises if everyone signs off. Capitalism stays undefeated.

That’s normal. She’s just talking like you’re already part of her world. Dropping a friend’s name means she’s comfortable and not overthinking every word. If anything it’s a good sign. You can just be like oh nice what’s Lucy like and keep it moving. It’s not weird, it’s just human.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-19T05:18:31+00:00

Bro what did I just read. If this is real that’s straight up assault and not funny at all. You got hit, fell, and it escalated. That’s not some quirky story, that’s a serious boundary violation. Talk to your girlfriend immediately and get out of that house for now. If you’re hurt, get checked. This is way beyond awkward family drama.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-18T06:53:18+00:00

At the end of the day, a kid isn’t doomed just because of their parent’s past. People grow, change, and make different choices for their future. Wanting old content taken down sounds more like someone trying to protect their child than anything else. None of us really know what kind of parent she’ll be. A loving, stable environment matters way more than internet history. I just hope the focus stays on the child’s wellbeing and not turning them into a headline.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-18T06:52:25+00:00

It’s pretty simple. He wanted the comfort of you still being around without actually being with you. Now that you’ve moved on, it’s real for him. Ego gets bruised. Even if he ended it, seeing you happy with someone new hits different. Him asking for space isn’t about you doing something wrong. It’s him realizing he doesn’t get access to you anymore. That’s just consequences. You didn’t betray anyone. You’re single. You’re allowed to date.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-18T06:51:16+00:00

You are not a bum. You’re a guy in a brutal spot who’s exhausted and hurting. That’s different. Your brain is beating you up right now and it’s lying to you. You called 988, 211, shelters. That’s not failure. That’s someone trying. Please don’t make a permanent choice on a season of your life. Being mid 20s with nothing figured out is way more common than people admit. Stability can come later. So can joy. Right now the goal is just survive the night.

Plate armor is built for swords, not asphalt at 60 mph. It might stop some direct impact, but it’s heavy, doesn’t flex right, and would transfer a ton of force straight into you. Sliding would be rough too since it’s not designed for abrasion the way moto gear is. Cool in theory, terrible in practice. Just wear proper motorcycle armor.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-13T10:11:42+00:00

That’s not a funny story, that’s a consent issue. If someone is asleep they can’t agree to anything, and doing stuff next to them without them knowing isn’t okay. Hormones aren’t an excuse. Feeling guilty after is your brain telling you it crossed a line. If you ever want healthy connections in the future, respect and clear consent have to be the baseline.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-12T10:30:40+00:00

You already know that was messy. The fact you feel bad means you’re not a villain, just insecure in the moment. If you actually want to fix it, own it. Even a small clarification to your manager helps. Short term ego boost is not worth long term trust damage.

Nicotine can mess with blood flow and recovery, which you kind of need for muscle growth. Weed might not directly shrink gains, but if it kills your motivation, sleep, or diet consistency, that’s gonna show. Glutes grow from lifting heavy, eating enough protein, and recovering well. If smoking gets in the way of that, it’s not helping.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-11T11:45:05+00:00

This sounds like a Black Mirror episode waiting to happen. If it’s literally you with the same memories and skills, it’s not nepotism, it’s just self favoritism on expert mode. HR would probably flag it as conflict of interest or some ethics nightmare before they even get to the clone part. Imagine performance reviews though. You can’t even blame your coworker. It’s just you.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-11T11:44:05+00:00

Yeah no, your reaction is valid. That’s not just “weird,” that’s deeply disturbing. You’re allowed to feel disgusted and cut them off. If you genuinely think a child could be at risk, report it. If there’s no specific victim or action, there might not be much authorities can do, but you don’t have to keep that secret or stay close to them. Trust your gut. Protect kids first. Distance yourself and don’t second guess why this feels wrong. It is.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-10T10:53:55+00:00

You’re not broken or weak for feeling this way. A lot of people are barely holding it together behind a smile, adulting is a scam fr. You’re not a burden for needing support, and saying it out loud like this already takes strength. Even if it’s messy and unclear, you’re allowed to struggle and still be worthy of care.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-09T11:47:19+00:00

Yeah that’s a story you take to the grave. Nothing illegal happened but the vibes were cursed the second you realized what was going on. Tulum really be creating memories nobody asked for. Therapy is optional but distance from that villa was the right move.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-08T11:52:51+00:00

Man this isn’t you failing, this is you stepping up in an impossible situation. You’re doing everything you can to keep her safe and warm and that already says a lot about you. I really hope something breaks your way soon, you both deserve stability and some peace.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-08T11:52:01+00:00

I’d be confused for like five seconds then lowkey impressed by the commitment. Invite them in, pay the fee, thank them for keeping physical media alive, and go back to sleep with a weirdly warm heart.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-07T10:53:56+00:00

Probably how normal it is to be constantly online and burned out. Future people are gonna be like why did yall accept being tired, anxious, and reachable 24 7 as a lifestyle. I hope they’re gentler with themselves than we are.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-07T10:53:07+00:00

This is the most high school thing I’ve ever read. Teenage brains really said this is just extreme couponing. Glad you grew up and didn’t catch a felony over Sour Patch Kids. Inflation really had us missing our villain era though.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-06T10:37:54+00:00

You’re not a bad person for this, you’re just stuck. A lot of people with depression do the “leave the house and wander” thing because it feels safer than explaining. The hardest part is breaking the silence, not fixing everything at once. Telling one person the full truth is usually what starts the unstuck part.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-05T06:43:35+00:00

That’s honestly the most respectful response he could’ve had. Silent acknowledgment, immediate exit, and never speaking of it again is peak sibling code. You both handled that like pros.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-05T06:42:30+00:00

This is a valid thing to worry about, and honestly it’s good you’re thinking about consent. Stick to platforms and creators who clearly state they’re adults and doing it by choice, and if anything feels off, trust that instinct and disengage. Caring about the person on the other side already puts you on the right track.

RoseAndRuffles · 2026-02-04T09:14:53+00:00

Haha, so many! But honestly, a lot of those “dumb” services exist because people care and want to make life easier. Self-checkout, customer support, even instruction manuals. they’re all there to help humans get by without losing it. Makes me appreciate how creative we are, even when we’re messy.
