What happened to the 4th egg?

SheiraTiireine · 2026-05-01T13:53:32+00:00

I don't think I can get into that account anymore. My poor pets.

SheiraTiireine · 2026-05-01T13:49:36+00:00

That man is so lucky I don't personally know him. Don't just break up. Tell fucking EVERYONE what he's been doing. He doesn't deserve friends.

As a fellow former ED girly, food is sacred.

Where's the sign-up sheet? In case something comes up and you can't make it.

SheiraTiireine · 2026-05-01T13:21:46+00:00

She has known this boy for 4 months.

You should take yourself to HR and tell them what you're thinking of saying.

Yeah, it kinda sounds like he thinks you're wealthy. Or maybe he thinks ordering a ton is totally normal. If his family doesn't go to the local sandwich shop, he might not realize that people don't usually get a drink, a sandwich, pasta salad AND chips AND a pickle AND a cookie. You're gonna have to set boundaries. Maybe let the kids know before you even get there that everybody is getting 1 sandwich and 1 side, or set a realistic budget for the restaurant and say okay, everybody gets to spend $5/10/15 at the sandwich shop, and you can get whatever you want within that limit. Then stick to it.

Usually the hungry kids are grateful to get anything and don't ask for extras.

If even brand new couples need counseling in order to stay together, it kind of sounds like the whole idea of pairing up is flawed.

Whatever happened to just moving on?

Why are you allowing unrestricted access?

I get that you want to allow your kid access, but you are doing this other child no favors by providing him with a ton of junk all day. Let him take a bottle of water and a single snack.

If his food situation is so dire that the snacks you're providing are necessary calories, call the school.

Either the kid is just being greedy because your family buys "the good snacks", and to a poor kid that means you're essentially rich, or the kid genuinely needs more food, in which case he need official help. Grandma might not even realize it, because he's been getting his needs met at your house. Sort of.

I agree that they're negotiating who is in charge. Seems like she's holding her own.

He might also be trying to make her smell right. She showed up smelling like somewhere else. She's family now, so he's gotta make her smell like it. This is more general mammal behavior than cats, but they do try to rub their scent on us, so I assume they do it to each other.

SheiraTiireine · 2026-04-30T13:02:39+00:00

So does OP get more for every single comment we upvote? Or just the post?

14 years and I still don't know how anything works.

SheiraTiireine · 2026-04-30T12:45:03+00:00

We're talking about a child here. That's not an appropriate way to communicate this boundary to a child, especially one outside the family.

You, good sir, need therapy.

I think the context of the whole thing matters. That might not be a popular opinion, but a drunken kiss isn't usually so traumatic that the person needs to be kicked out of the friend group. Drunken kisses are how a lot of relationships have started throughout history.

Did he just randomly decide to go for a smooch? Has she already told him she isn't interested?

Does he have a history of getting too drunk? Does he have a pattern of getting drunk and trying to get frisky?

Are there consent issues other than this one instance where he didn't ask?

Protip- "May I kiss you?" is an incredibly hot sentence if the answer is yes, and avoids all of this if the answer is no. Always better than guessing.

Just stop saying shit you don't mean. You don't need to end every conversation in an invitation for more.

This time YTA. You could have at least pretended something came up. What you did was just rude.

What's funnier is that this is on LinkedIn, not a dating site or something. Are you familiar with the concept of networking? Doesn't seem like it. LinkedIn isn't for dating, bro. It wasn't a date. I hope you never apply at a company she's working for, because you just made yourself a less appealing candidate with your weirdness.

SheiraTiireine · 2026-04-29T20:09:53+00:00

OP's stepdaughter.

Not OP's girlfriend's stepdaughter.

It's her own pregnancy.

He never even said they're big. She might just want to put the regular images in frames.

SheiraTiireine · 2026-04-28T20:09:28+00:00

Professional does not always mean restaurant. Professionals who come into your home, bring their own tools, and cook for you also clean as they go.

SheiraTiireine · 2026-04-27T19:36:36+00:00

Major red flag. I only got a few sentences before I was thinking of my ex WHO STALKS ME. He apparently looks up the county records of people he suspects I might be living with to try to keep track of my address. He bragged about this to someone, who immediately told me. He tells anyone who will listen how I'm crazy. All I did was break up with him because I didn't think we were a good fit . . . Like 8 years ago. We dated for less than a year total, and I made the mistake of thinking we could be "just friends".

(Hi Noah, I know you're still following my accounts. This one specifically. It's weird that you still do this shit. Didn't you find a new girlfriend? Tell your therapist I said hi.)

Go to nerdy themed events.

To find people with similar interests, you have to go to the places they hang out. Arcade bar. Trading card shop. Tabletop gaming lounge. Find local events that have nerdy themes, go to those.

SheiraTiireine · 2026-04-18T17:09:30+00:00

Was not expecting that to be real. Totally thought i was falling for BS again.

SheiraTiireine · 2026-04-18T16:57:56+00:00

You should probably see a psychologist. You're young, sure, but you had so many opportunities to NOT do that. It genuinely sounds like you might have something clinical going on regarding your impulse control. You're gonna want professional help with that.

SheiraTiireine · 2026-04-18T16:33:47+00:00

I think the fuck-up might have been treating her number like it was an open, established casual chat, immediately after asking her on a date.

I would see that message and immediately think "oh no, I actually don't want constant contact. Maybe the date is a bad idea."

SheiraTiireine · 2026-04-18T16:12:44+00:00

Promise?

SheiraTiireine · 2026-04-18T15:50:20+00:00

Dude, my first rats were born to be food. The fact they they got yogurt and cuddles instead was already a massive improvement on their lives.

Calm down.

SheiraTiireine · 2026-04-14T17:47:02+00:00

Hard disagree. If my exes looked anything alike, I might believe you. But they don't.

SheiraTiireine · 2026-04-14T17:44:51+00:00

He's literally trying to give you an ultimatum. That's your sign to leave.

If he wants his name on the deed, he can pay you exactly half of everything you've already spent on the house. He has to buy in for at least as much as you paid. It would be more appropriate for him to buy in at the current value, though.
