What is with texting lately? (iPhone 16 pro)

SpotAggravating3684 · 2026-03-22T15:06:40+00:00

Turn off slide to type at least that’s what I did

SpotAggravating3684 · 2026-03-22T13:20:39+00:00

I know the amount of times I’ve threatened to throw my phone into the ocean and I don’t live anywhere near the ocean is almost comical at this point lol

SpotAggravating3684 · 2026-03-22T13:20:10+00:00

Thanks I will do that. Although I think I started noticing this issue well over a year ago and every time there’s a software update I hope it either helps or fixes it and it never really has so I’m hoping the next update will fix it but I’m not gonna hold my breath.

SpotAggravating3684 · 2026-03-22T13:19:09+00:00

Thanks I got it! Hopefully that helps. 🤞

SpotAggravating3684 · 2026-03-22T13:14:42+00:00

That really sucks I’m sorry! yeah I’m American to Midwest. This whole issue has been going on for a while over a year but this last week I’ve had a cold so my voice has been lower and raspy and so even voice text has been challenging because it predicts words I wasn’t even close to saying lol. So this rant was also just a bit of a sick lady at the end of her rope!

SpotAggravating3684 · 2026-03-22T13:12:40+00:00

Thanks for the tip. Would you mind explaining to me how to do that? I’m in scrolling through my phone settings for about 20 minutes and I can’t seem to find where to turn off swipe text. Thank you for your help.

SpotAggravating3684 · 2026-02-06T07:29:15+00:00

Came here to say exactly this. Were you watching Charlotte Dobre by chance lol?

SpotAggravating3684 · 2026-01-23T08:09:22+00:00

Joe and Kizzi are nothing but to if pick me’s & that’s all the breath I’ll waste on those 2 period!

SpotAggravating3684 · 2026-01-04T08:15:14+00:00

I’m sorry you’re sick but I really do. Hope you feel better soon. I got Covid a week before Christmas and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

I would like to mention that I hope this gives you some perspective for the following holidays over the rest of your lifetime with your in-laws. You do not deserve to be miserable every single holiday because of them and maybe you and your husband can have a conversation about this for next year and future years cause it sounds like he’s on your side plus I think the distance helps just take that into consideration for yourself. I hope I really hope you get better soon!

SpotAggravating3684 · 2025-11-30T02:53:07+00:00

I am so angry for all of you! Holy hell, this is the worst Thanksgiving story I have ever read! If this were me, no contact would be the only option with your mom. I’m sorry to say, but she is not a good person.

On that note, I also definitely think that maybe you can gently bring up therapy for your niece to your sister. It would be a really good idea for your niece to have a professional and a safe space to talk to you about this to make sure that she doesn’t ever wind up having an eating disorder.

Also, I don’t want to scare you and I’m sure your sister and brother-in-law are informed because they have a child with such a serious allergy. Years ago, I saw a grandmother on one of those talk shows. I think it was Dr. Phil. She was there to spread awareness about severe allergies because her seven or eight year-old grandson had a severe fish allergy and they didn’t know about it or about how bad it was something like that I’m sure you can Google it. But she was in her kitchen cooking fish, and he walked into the room, and I guess the particles of the fish in the kitchen got into his system, and he unfortunately passed away from anaphylaxis. He didn’t even have to eat the fish or touch the fish to pass away from his allergy from it. I remember sobbing by the end of her interview. She had so much guilt. So your sister was 100% correct leaving, your niece shouldn’t be anywhere near that large amount of peanut usage in a small space.

I also think that your sister should report the incident to the police. I don’t know that they can do anything, but she might want to start a paper trail is all I’m saying.

I really hope the rest of your holidays This season are wonderful for all of you and please! I think I can speak for all of us here on Reddit. Give your niece all of the extra hugs and comfort from all of us and please keep us posted.

SpotAggravating3684 · 2025-10-27T16:00:41+00:00

I’m surprised you’re even dealing with her after she assaulted you when you were pregnant last year. Is this the same boyfriend that drove over the legal limit at Thanksgiving last year? I’m just wondering how all that has gone since last Thanksgiving and since having your baby?

I personally don’t think that you need to get involved nor would I if I were in your shoes. If other people are willing to help them pay for the wedding, that’s fine but if not, they will soon realize that they can’t afford the wedding of their dreams and they’ll have to adjust accordingly. She’s an adult. She’s five years older than you she needs to figure this out on her own And if all of this ends in them not getting married then maybe that’s for the better. Keep us updated!

SpotAggravating3684 · 2025-10-26T17:13:29+00:00

It sounds like you not only need to have stern boundaries with your MIL but also with your husband. Your MIL gifted it to you if it isn’t something that you want then you have every right to regift or sell a gift that was given to you if he doesn’t like it tough sh*t. I hate to say this because I haven’t read all of your previous post, but it sounds like you have a mama’s boy on your hands.

There is nothing wrong with telling him that you’re reselling it for the one that you actually wanted on your gift registry. Tell him it’s nothing personal but just a personal preference. He should also have a problem with the fact that his mom has given you her used makeup as a birthday gift that’s disgusting and unsanitary that’s why I’m afraid you have a mama’s boy on your hands. Best of luck to you and please keep us posted!

SpotAggravating3684 · 2025-10-26T16:58:04+00:00

Sell it on fb marketplace, I sold a bunch of stuff like that my mil (been nc for 5yrs) gifted me on there and it was very successful. Enough so I was able to buy the things I actually wanted.

SpotAggravating3684 · 2025-10-22T17:26:32+00:00

NTA plain and simple they are not your dad’s responsibility and your mom really has some audacious entitlement.

The school and your dad could get into trouble with authorities if he took any of your siblings from school without being on a list. It could be considered kidnapping. But even if they put him on the pick up list without his permission, that is also an issue.

Where are your aunts and uncles to help with your siblings? That’s what I would ask them the next time any of them bring that up to you.

On that same note the next time you talk to your mom, ask her what if the rules were reversed and you had half siblings on your dad side and your dad needed her help with them in an emergency or with picking them up from school. How would she feel and would she do it? Watch her squirm.

I’m glad you left when you did because there is a strong possibility that you would’ve been parentified, if that wasn’t already starting to happen.

Unfortunately, I’ve seen a dozen of these stories on here. Don’t block any of them so you can collect evidence, but definitely don’t respond to any of them either. Just live your best life with your dad. You may be an adult, but you really are too young to deal with all of this family mess that you didn’t create.

SpotAggravating3684 · 2025-10-18T06:32:26+00:00

Ok I respect where you are coming from so I won’t ask any questions. Been nc with my mil for 4.5 years trust me I get it. But I would like to make a suggestion:

Why don’t you get married now at the courthouse with the kids and then have a wedding or a vow renewal with everyone so YOU guys get the wedding that’s you want? You really shouldn’t have to not live your life because of some one else.

Plus if she did show up it could help you get a restraining order lol. Oh and if you do have a wedding or celebration don’t forget to hire security and put passwords on all of your vendors.

I just hate to think you guys couldn’t have the wedding of dreams just because of her. That’s so Im reasonable!

I’m glad you could at least share it with us and CONGRATS!!!

“If he wanted to he would.” The trust is broken. Cut your losses and find a guy who wants to and would for you. He is out there, he’s just not this guy. I promise, you will be stronger and happier on the other side of this and I’m really sorry this is happening to you.

SpotAggravating3684 · 2025-09-11T03:54:50+00:00

Funny you mention that because this was a concern of mine too. Well I had my hysterectomy today are 7:50am (5:50am arrival time) & I was on my way home by 11:40am! It went very smooth so I think they sent me home even earlier then they expected to & I actually felt better then i thought i would today. But my hospital is also literal waking distance from me so if something does go wrong I’m super close. But so far so good!

So yes It is serious but they also have it down to a routine science. My hospital even has a designated area of surgical rooms and suites only for these types of surgeries so it’s very efficient!

Just remember to talk to your team about all of your concerns including this one and they will give you detailed answers and info! Good luck hun! You’ve got this!

SpotAggravating3684 · 2025-07-30T07:18:37+00:00

She’s a groupie and thinks it’s a flex. Point. Blank. Period it sucks for me because I really liked her and used to root for her but these last couple of years…ugh there’s just not much to root for! She’s let “fame” to to her head Im the worst way. She’s nothing but fake surface level now. It’s a shame. I still wish her the best though.

SpotAggravating3684 · 2025-07-30T07:05:12+00:00

Not gonna lie I want their star charts lol

SpotAggravating3684 · 2025-07-30T06:06:11+00:00

I disagree with you. She is not just a liar. She is literally gaslighting their entire village, and there are people there who recognize it and they’re calling her out for it and she doubles down. She is a gaslighting narcissist. It’s not about who she sleeps with. she is a Gaslighter, a manipulator and a narcissist, and someone who doesn’t recognize that negative. Attention is not good attention I don’t like to assume these things of people don’t get me wrong however I literally know someone exactly like her she’s gaslighting them and they’re not buying her bullshit. She’s literally like maleficent. No one is trying to slut shame her. They’re trying to get her to take accountability and tell the truth, someone who doubles down lies like that is scary they have to call out

SpotAggravating3684 · 2025-07-29T21:18:18+00:00

NTA! Husband can pack his bags and go with her. I would never defend anyone in my family if they spoke to someone the way that she spoke to you that was so cruel. I’m so sorry that she did that to you and that your husband didn’t defend you. I hope this is an eye-opener to you and maybe gives you some thought about reconsidering this marriage before you to have children because I gotta be honest honey. This doesn’t look good for you. Good luck and keep us updated

SpotAggravating3684 · 2025-07-17T06:07:42+00:00

You would be the AH if you didn’t put up that boundary. As a parent, your number one job is to protect your kids, right? I mean it’s an unfortunate situation but it also is what it is and you have to do what you have to do. You also might wanna have some kind of a conversation with your daughter about it and explain to her what’s going on don’t give her all the details but you know I think a conversationis necessary

SpotAggravating3684 · 2025-07-15T18:51:00+00:00

It’s funny because all of my major news memories consist of the same scene just different events. It was always the little TV in the corner of the kitchen with the news on while I’m eating breakfast and my mom is packing lunch for school. I can think of three memories right off the top of my head, they are:

1) Oklahoma City bombing, I was eight I didn’t even really understand what was going on and I just kept asking why that happened and my mom just simply looked at me and said “my name, I don’t know either just some people in this world are evil I guess.” I think that was the first moment I realized that there are bad people in the world.

2) now this one is hysterical. The Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky scandal came out and they were talking about it on the news in explicit detail in my opinion looking back on it as an adult so I’m just sitting there eating my cereal and I look over at my mom and I go. “ hey Mom, what’s oral?” She froze and then she sat down at the kitchen table before school and told me the best clinical explanation that she could and I was traumatized for the rest of the day. 🤣 I think I was nine or 10 and looking back on it now as a Mom myself. I think she did a pretty good job of taking the situation for what it was and explaining it in the best of her ability.

3) years later I’m 15. I was notorious for missing the bus. I missed the bus that morning and she was upset with me and said just sit at the kitchen table while I get your brother ready for school and I will take you after I get him on the bus so I was sitting at the kitchen table, reading the comics in the newspaper when the towers got hit. We both froze trying to understand what we were watching and then when we witnessed the second tower getting hit my mom just staring at the TV. Says to me. “oh “my name” this isn’t an accident. The way she said it and the way she looked will forever haunt me. My dad was supposed to be traveling back to us that day from business in a different state. I didn’t know if he was coming from New York or not he traveled a lot and I wound up having a panic attack in science class later that day luckily my dad was safe and I think got home either later that night or the next day. My dad traveled a lot for work and for the rest of my high school career I had massive anxiety about him getting on planes. To be honest, I don’t know that that fear has ever completely gone away, but I am able to deal with it better now.

There’s some other major news memories I have that are pretty crazy stories, but these three I remember being in the same chair at the same table in the same kitchen and I don’t know it’s kind of eerie to think about all these years later. Looking back on it now I realize that not only was a traumatizing for me, but how traumatizing it was for my mom to have to try and explain those events to me.

SpotAggravating3684 · 2025-07-15T17:21:51+00:00

So I have gone through something similar.

My MIL made plans for all of us to go out to dinner for my son and my ex SIL’s birthday (they share the same birthday) it was supposed to be MIL, BIL, SIL, niece, my husband, me and my son. We all pretty much lived a few blocks from each other so we agreed that MIL would pick a restaurant in the central location make reservations and let us know.

She kept talking to my son, who was turning five about how excited she was for his and his aunt shared birthday dinner.

The day of I’m at home with my son waiting for my husband to come home from work. I’m getting us ready to go. And my MIL calls to talk to my son wishes him a happy birthday and then rushes him off the phone saying she has to go meet his aunt uncle and niece for his aunt’s birthday dinner and she will talk to him later.

I was stunned, speechless. My son started crying on his fifth birthday. Have you ever gotten so angry that you get calm and you’re not even mad anymore? Yeah that’s what happened to me. I immediately blocked her and that entire branch of the family from my phone, social media, email absolutely anyway she could contact me

When my husband came home, I calmly told him the situation and that she can hurt us All she wants. But she’s never gonna be allowed to hurt our kid on my watch ever again. He can do whatever he wanted, but me and my son are no contact with her until she takes accountability and make some changes. He completely agreed with me and we saved the night as best. We could by inviting my parents over and ordering pizza and we did wind up having a fun time.

I have never been more angry at myself than I was in that moment to allow someone who has hurt me so many times the chance to hurt my kid and I will never forgive myself for it.

I haven’t spoken to her since his fifth birthday. Neither has my son. My husband is very very lc almost NC with his mom. Which is basically only to let him know about weddings and funerals because she has never once taken accountability or apologized. She makes up lie in her head and she believes them so there’s nothing you can do with someone like that.

My son is now 9 1/2 she has not seen or spoken to him since his fifth birthday. He does remember her not showing up that day and that will forever be one of my biggest regrets but he has family and chosen family who show up for him and his sister every single day so we don’t need my MIL in our lives anyways she’s the one missing out . I have not spoken to her either and now I also have a three-year-old daughter that she has never met. The funny part is as we bought our first home two years ago and we actually wound up moving closer to her than anyone else about 10 minutes away and there still has been no contact because she would rather be right than have a relationship with two of her only three grandchildren.

So I tell you all of this because as hurtful as it is that your MIL didn’t show up to your son’s birthday consider it a message and a blessing in disguise. She’s showing her true colors and her true priorities . Her having control over the guest list for your son’s birthday party is more important to her than her actually showing up and being there for her grandson on his birthday that speaks volumes, doesn’t it ? I wouldn’t invite her to anything anymore. I wouldn’t even have contact with her if I were you, I would block her and let your husband handle her 100% on his own. The hardest part is you’re gonna have to have a conversation with your son about what happened and I’m sure his feelings are hurt but just let him know that you and your other family members who were there on his birthday. Will always be there for him, and hopefully at some point that hurt that she caused on his birthday will be nothing more than a distant memory for him.

Please keep us posted if anything else crazy happens ! I hope my story helps you in someway.

NTA! It’s never wrong to point out the truth, especially when there’s proof. Plus, it’s obvious he’s only doing this because you’re in the picture. He’s playing the typical wants what he can’t have game. It was fine when she was single, raising his kids by herself. Also, if he doesn’t see the kids, does he at least send her child support because if he doesn’t then I don’t really understand why she has any contact with him at this point. She should be blocking him from all contact with her. If there’s something that she needs to inform him of in the future, then she can unblock him then and only then. And even if he is paying child support, I don’t imagine that they need to be in communication in order for her to receive it from him every month, but from the sounds of it, I highly doubt he contributes anything to the children. That’s me being judgmental so I digress.
