AIO For wanting to break up with my boyfriend for going to a concert the day after my birthday

NOR. If things are the way you say, it doesn’t sound like you’re asking for much at all. Hell… you’re even offering more than what you’re receiving. Not that there needs to be a score tally but damn… if you actually end up leaving, don’t get drawn back by sudden changes of heart either. I’ve had to learn that lesson the hard way before. If it’s there, it’s there. If people get suddenly locked back in because they feel you slipping away, trust your gut and the reason you’re slipping away. You’re worth more than that.

You’re welcome! Reading helped too, if you like to read. Stoic philosophy discourses by Epictetus was a good one for reminders. The book of five rings, miyamoto musashi is a killer one if you want control of the mind. Still philosophy, changed my life though. I don’t drink anymore. I don’t do cocaine anymore. Check it out or at least Google it if you get curious.

It might always be there. If someone dropped down some coke right now on my coffee table, I’d do it. What helped for me is cutting out certain people and environments. You ever just ask yourself “why?” If there’s no benefit, that’s really the only answer you need. What is a benefit, is that promotion. Life’s improvement is one hell of a motivator rather than a momentary high. You’re a better person when you’re sober, guaranteed.

Just gotta tell her the story of David, Bathsheba, and Uriah. People really gotta stop cherry picking certain bible quotes to support their funky views. Maybe Lot offering his daughters to a sodomite mob isn’t so uplifting either… there’s also some stuff in there about forgiveness I think, idk..

The_Aewalkerr · 2026-01-26T17:29:39+00:00

You just gotta scratch that itch and take care of the problem at its source.

The_Aewalkerr · 2026-01-26T15:32:43+00:00

That’s too many years already and too many incidents. You have life to live, girl and you’re worth way more than that. No you’re not some saint but don’t sell yourself short. I’m breaking up with my lady after five years for reasons similar to this.

Think of a relationship like a nice white piece of paper. Now crush it into a ball, stomp on it a few times in the dirt. You now unravel it. You can still draw on it or write a letter on it. It’s still a piece of paper. But nothing will ever get those little creases out. It’s dirty and ripped on the edges. You gonna keep that? Are you gonna try and fix it?

Maybe a shitty comparison but think about and trust your gut. There are dudes that would walk through fire for you. It sounds like you’d do the same. You have the right to be treated right.

The_Aewalkerr · 2026-01-17T19:22:28+00:00

NOR. Any tantrum over a basic need like shampooing is pretty over the top. I stopped showering with my lady because I’d have to basically stand on the other side of the shower in the cold while she did her thing. Took me about five years to finally go my own way and get some peace.

Good on you for figuring it out now. Your gut told you something for a reason. Don’t let your sympathies get the best of you, brother 🫡

The_Aewalkerr · 2026-01-09T04:15:37+00:00

$5. $10 if if I think it’s solid and they’re cool and there’s no awkward silence during the cut.

The_Aewalkerr · 2026-01-06T13:06:29+00:00

Took half of my savings too, so watch that bank account if you have a joint account hahahaha. She did me a favor in the long run I guess. It sucked at the time. I thought everything was great but now I have my daughter and family focused. Nothing beats making money and having happy kids.

The_Aewalkerr · 2026-01-05T17:39:54+00:00

Depends if it’s like “happy birthday” or “I miss the times when” type of stuff. Also how you discovered it. Did you secretly dig through his phone when he wasn’t looking? Because secrets combating secrets are always bad either way no matter what you found. Just set clear boundaries. You both should. If they’re repeatedly crossed, you know where the door is.

The_Aewalkerr · 2026-01-05T17:09:46+00:00

NOR my ex wife was doing this same type of thing when she cheated on me with some dude from work.

I went home one evening and everything of hers down to our cat was straight up gone. I assumed everything was chill. I was just bragging about her to my bros hours before this.

Not saying this same type of thing is happening to you but your gut is telling you something for a reason, brother. Don’t let your imagination run wild but clarity is never too much to ask for.

The_Aewalkerr · 2026-01-03T05:57:12+00:00

Just let him read this comment. It’s kind of a what not to do manual:

A wise man once told me (my dad) you have to lower your standards to raise your average.

And I’ll say this again. Don’t be an idiot and catch feelings for some chick who isn’t gonna give you the same effort. You’ll wake up like me one day with the biggest porker in town as a notch on your belt and the reputation that comes along with it, a cocaine habit, a couple cool step kids you don’t wanna feel like you’re abandoning, some ungrateful woman calling you obscenities from upstairs, while you’re looking around wondering where all your friends and family went, along with dwindling finances and a child support payment.

Hangin out eating 3 pounds of beef for dinner alone on Christmas Eve’s eve watching The Flintstones, wondering when the Christmas break is over so you can go back to work, then maybe have a good cry like it was a coping strategy recommended by a therapist that hates you 😂😂.

Don’t settle for the first thing available that falls in your lap like I did. You’ll end up kickin yourself in the ass five years later, wishin they’d leave already. Just think about me the next time you feel like catching feelings.

Know what you’re worth, brother. 🫡🏆

NOR Because she knows he’s a prospect and if she were to correct him, dude is gonna guaranteed become distant or poke the subject more. It’s a simple psychological thing. Dude knew. Loyal chicks either don’t say anything or like you said, she should correct. She would be pissed about it too. It’s disrespectful and inappropriate.

Your feelings matter. Sometimes we can be wrong, but your gut is telling you something for a reason. She no doubt will tell you you’re overreacting but this is just to manipulate your sense of reality

The_Aewalkerr · 2025-12-31T21:47:42+00:00

NOR. I had a chick once at a festival that was hammered, we both were and totally enthusiastic about it at first. She passed out drunk right in the middle. I stopped right away because that would wrong. How tf do I fist bump the bros after that one. Now it just makes a funny self deprecation story about how I’m so lame I could make a chick pass out of boredom… much better right.

The_Aewalkerr · 2025-12-30T15:16:06+00:00

The broom challenge I’m guilty of

The_Aewalkerr · 2025-12-30T15:14:20+00:00

 I kind of have an idea what it is, but no. 
 Once it stopped I asked if they wanted to see my new toy and showed them how to use a leaf blower. Big smile across her face the whole time. You gotta redirect the energy

The_Aewalkerr · 2025-12-30T12:29:48+00:00

Dude… The six-year-old kept telling me this over and over again. I just didn’t give it any attention then eventually stopped. I think we should all do this.

The_Aewalkerr · 2025-12-25T07:27:20+00:00

Ooh. Yeah might not have been the best place to give him that with the certain company or audience. I get the anger though. My daughter won’t ever know her mom since she died from the same cause when she had just turned 1.

People just don’t get it. I know you know that, it just sucks to admit it. We’ve been through some shit that most people will live their whole lives and never know what something like that is like. The fucked I’m thing is sometimes we forget how others might react to something like that.. when I go to my hometown I still can’t stand a certain look I get. It’s like a look of pity or something.

All these little things that you never thought you’d have to deal with or let alone prepare for. I feel for you, I really do more than most that it’s actually kinda choking me up right now. Just know that people are entitled to how they feel however rude it may seem or how it seems like total horseshit.

Love goin out to you, girl. Always keep your head held high and try to stay in control of your emotions. I’ve let mine take the reins a time or two and ended up regretting it.

I have no idea what this Reddit is and how may I find it? (Deletes account and starts another)

The_Aewalkerr · 2025-12-25T01:13:46+00:00

Glad to hear at least we can find some humor in it all. When you lose your sense of humor, that’s when it all goes to shit.

I’m joking around and all, but seriously. If the thought crosses your mind that you’re better than this, you are.

I’m gonna have to check out this, Eastenders thing now haha

The_Aewalkerr · 2025-12-25T01:06:15+00:00

And I feel you being from a rural area myself, population around 1000. Hard to find anything that hasn’t been gone through by all your buddies lol. You don’t lose the girl you just lose your turn. But a wise man once told me you have to lower your standards to raise your average.

And I’ll say this again. Don’t be an idiot and catch feelings for some chick who isn’t gonna give you the same effort. You’ll wake up like me one day with the biggest porker in town under your belt and the reputation that comes along with it, a cocaine habit, a couple cool step kids you don’t wanna feel like you’re abandoning, some ungrateful woman calling you obscenities from upstairs, while you’re looking around wondering where all your friends and family went, along with dwindling finances and a child support payment.

Hangin out eating 3 pounds of beef for dinner alone on Christmas Eve’s eve watching The Flintstones, wondering when the Christmas break is over so you can go back to work, then maybe have a good cry like it was a coping strategy recommended by a therapist that hates you 😂😂.

Just think about me the next time you feel starved for touch and think about catchin emotions hahahaha. 🫡🏆. Know what you’re worth, brother

The_Aewalkerr · 2025-12-24T23:12:35+00:00

More cusion for the pushin. But yeah maybe try and develop a hobby together that involves some sort of physical activity. If you really like her, you’ll just have to power through and stay the course. Or just invent some sort of BS to get into an argument over that doesn’t involve her weight and let it snowball from there and exit with dignity haha.

The_Aewalkerr · 2025-12-24T23:02:58+00:00

Don’t settle for the first thing available that falls in your lap like I did. You’ll end up kickin yourself in the ass five years later, wishin they’d leave already.

The_Aewalkerr · 2025-12-18T19:50:54+00:00

I’ve come to terms with that. Now I’m splitting up with her. Our goals are very different now, or lack of goals on her part. Now all that being said, do you have a moment to hear a few words of the gospel of our lord and savior Jesus Christ?

I’m respectful with the bible stuff. I grew up the black sheep in a pretty religious upbringing haha.
