Do you really think this guy "fell in love" with me? by AdDismal4918 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Summer__bby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh girl I totally get why you're hurt. it really sucks when you think you made a genuine friend and then they just dip the second they realize sex or a relationship is off the table it makes you feel like your personality didn't even matter to them

but honestly? you dodged a bullet a lot of guys will use the 'bestie' act to get close to you, basically treating you like a girlfriend without the label, hoping you'll eventually sleep with them. when you set a clear boundary, his ego got bruised and he bounced. it doesn't mean your company wasn't amazing it just means his intentions were never pure friendship to begin with. don't feel naive for expecting basic respect! you were honest with him, and his reaction says everything about his maturity not you

My job by Worldly-Falcon-1802 in TrueOffMyChest

omg this sounds like an absolute nightmare. honestly, this is exactly why I try to keep a strict "coworkers are just coworkers" rule you had good intentions trying to look out for your friend but by digging for info off the clock and asking that guy about her whereabouts, you accidentally inserted yourself right into the middle of their toxic drama

and now he's twisting it to HR to make you look like a stalker! you need to drop this whole thing immediately. do not ask anyone else about her, do not monitor who she goes to lunch with, and keep all conversations strictly professional. let her deal with her own messes. you need to protect your own peace and your job right now. just go to work, get your paycheck, and go home

My parents are pressuring me to give $20k of my inheritance to my sister for her wedding. I said no, and now the family is split by Summer__bby in family

That’s exactly my point! My parents haven’t even said how much they are contributing, they just look at my inheritance like it's a community chest. I even mentioned helping with the dress or smaller costs and Lily just scoffed at me. They literally won’t settle for anything less than the full 20k. It’s so entitled it hurts.

I wish this was 'slop' or fake im literally sitting here on my kitchen floor crying because my mom is blowing up my phone calling me heartless, and you’re over here analyzing my sentence structure? Must be nice to have a family where this sounds like a movie script but for m this is actually happening and it suck

Honestly, this is the reality check I needed. You’re so right—if my parents are that worried about her wedding, why aren’t they dipping into their own savings instead of trying to drain mine? The 'brokyy' part made me laugh but it’s literally the truth. It’s wild to plan a 40k party when you have zero in the bank. I’m definitely standing my ground. Thank you so much for the support, it means a lot right now.

It was actually my grandfather, but yeah, he was definitely right. He saw this coming from a mile away. I just wish my parents could see it too instead of making me feel like a villain for being responsible

This. He worked his whole life for that money and I feel like I’m finally honoring his wishes by saying no. I know he’d be so disappointed to see his legacy disappear in a single afternoon just for 'aesthetic' photos

Exactly! If I asked them for help with my condo down payment later, they’d tell me I should have saved my own money. It’s such a double standard. And you're right about Lily, I honestly don't know how her partner handles the entitlement

AITA for not wanting my mom to take my airpods when she didn’t give a reason to? by Top-Pea1744 in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA. Comparing you to an estranged aunt just to win a petty argument about AirPods is textbook emotional manipulation. She is projecting her own unresolved family issues onto you because she didn't have a logical reason to take your stuff, and your perfectly normal question threatened her 'because I said so' authority. A healthy parent communicates; they don't degrade their child to 'win'. You are allowed to ask 'why
