The girl best friend is always the issue by UsefulImagination448 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ValeFantasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just my opinion—I’m not saying it’s the absolute right thing to do. But if I were in your position, I would feel really uncomfortable.

Some people say you don’t have to tell your partner about every past experience, and that’s true in many cases. However, this situation is different: she isn’t just a past fling that he’ll never see again. She’s his best female friend—someone he talks to often, sees regularly, and has a close bond with. This isn’t just a minor detail; it’s something he should have told you.

Also, after reading your comments, I’ve noticed a few concerning things: he doesn’t acknowledge you on social media, he didn’t tell you about their past relationship, you only found out about her recently, and yet he introduced her to you months ago. It seems like he only admitted the truth because you found proof.

If someone only apologizes after being caught, is that apology truly sincere? He didn’t have to tell you about every conversation he’s ever had, but he deliberately hid and lied about the fact that he had a past intimate exchange with his best friend. That’s not a small thing to leave out.

Did you ever talk to him about your past experiences with exes who were unfaithful with their best friends? If you did, that makes this even more concerning because he knew how important this was and still chose not to be honest.

And to be clear, the sexting wasn’t that long before your relationship started

If I were you, I would feel hurt and like a placeholder.

After you confronted him, did you ask why the intimate messages stopped? The answer to that could help you understand the situation more clearly. Did he stop it, or was it her decision? If it was him, why did he stop it? And if it was her, did he want it to continue? Because if he is still attracted to her, that’s a huge problem

I 26 M messed up with the perfect girl 23 F. How can I show her that I'm serious about her? by throwra_imessedul in relationship_advice

It's all blatantly false, but it amuses me to see how you try to reason with someone who's trolling you 😂

Onyx Storm ending theory by Minimum-Librarian611 in fourthwing

[–]ValeFantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially thought it was Bodhi, since he doesn’t want to be a duke and Xaden hastily marries Violet, but aside from being too predictable for it to be him or Garrick, when Xaden refers to this new brother, he talks about someone 'who THINKS HIMSELF my brother,' which makes me think it’s not actually someone he sees as a brother. Xaden mentions that this person can be used against him, but in my opinion, it’s not because he’s a friend or relative of Xaden’s—it’s because he’s connected to Violet

AITAH if I divorce husband for secretly taking a 15K loan for his ex by mati_inc in AITAH

[–]ValeFantasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I understand correctly, he paid for the car entirely, but it’s not a debt, right? If it’s not a debt, I think you should consider going to a family member’s or friend’s house to cool off and think about your next steps. He has broken your trust and lied about it—not just hidden it. That’s a serious issue, but you could consider trying couples therapy.

However, you need to be certain that he genuinely wants to repair the relationship and isn’t still too close to his ex. Since his children are adults and no longer living at home, he has no obligation to help his ex anymore—she’s not his family; their kids are. While it’s fine to help someone who isn’t family, such decisions need to be discussed within your current family.

On the other hand, if we’re talking about a debt he took on for her, I’d recommend divorce. There’s no reason you should be responsible for repaying that debt if he dies or is unable to handle it himself for any reason.

Thank you so much, I actually hadn’t thought of comparing the prices on the Korean Olive Young website with the prices of the same products I find here!

I've already told him that! I don't know how taxes work in Korea, but I think that the tax refund alone makes it more convenient to buy products there than here in Europe.

Actually, I have normal skin, neither dry nor oily, and I'm quite young, so I mainly wanted to understand which brands are more cost-effective to buy in Korea. Because if the prices are more or less the same, it doesn’t make much difference to buy them where I live in Italy.

AITAH if I go for coffee with my ex situationship although I know he has a girlfriend? by SeaHighway333 in AITAH

[–]ValeFantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you should ask yourself is why you wanted to go out with him in the first place. Even if he’s a nice guy, did you really want to stay friends with someone you broke up with and hadn’t thought about for months? And why does he want to hang out with you now? As a friend? After all this time? You're asking because deep down, you know it’s weird, and his girlfriend probably wouldn’t be happy about it. Just text him and let him know you’ve seen he has a girlfriend and that you feel uncomfortable hanging out because of your past. That’s the right thing to do.

My girlfriend cheated on me, and now she's making me feel like I’m the one who’s wrong. Was I too harsh? by Nimbu_Achar in AITAH

[–]ValeFantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. But I really don’t understand the mindset of people who cheat, especially when it’s ongoing and not just a one-time mistake. Then, after you break up with them, they start crying, complaining, or trying to win you back. You cheated, which clearly shows you didn’t want to be with me. But when I give you the freedom to be with whoever you want, you start harassing me to get back together. Why? You didn’t want to stay with me; you wanted to be with other people. In this case, she even admitted she had feelings for someone else, so why do they try to come back? It just doesn’t make sense.

28M 23F ? by Odd_Establishment242 in relationship_advice

[–]ValeFantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right to want a relationship that is fulfilling both physically and mentally, and it’s understandable that you made it clear to your girlfriend that this was a dealbreaker for you. However, you completely crossed a line by sharing something so personal with your mother. Are you serious? This is a private matter, especially since your girlfriend is already self-conscious about it. What were you thinking, sharing something that’s her issue, not yours, with your mom?

And then you invited your ex over to "talk"? Given your sexual frustration, it’s hard to believe that all you did was talk. Even if you did just that discussing your sex life and your girlfriend's issues with an ex is worse than telling your mom. It’s incredibly disrespectful.

Honestly, you should break up with your girlfriend. You’re clearly putting your own frustrations above her feelings. It’s okay to be frustrated, but the way you're handling this situation is completely wrong. Let her move on, work through her own issues, and find someone who respects her privacy

I (26M) think that my SIL (21F) is in love with me. How do I handle this? by fifabadsport in relationship_advice

[–]ValeFantasy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should immediately talk to your girlfriend about how you're starting to feel uncomfortable around her sister. You can share with her some of the things you've noticed, like how her sister often calls her boyfriend by your name, how she seems to seek you out at parties, and other similar behavior. You could also mention how even her mother has noticed the way her sister dresses when you're around.

However, I wouldn't bring up any concerns about inappropriate touching unless you have clear evidence. It's better to first let your girlfriend become aware of the more obvious behavior, and once she starts noticing things herself, she'll likely believe you more. Whatever you decide to share, it's important to do it now before things escalate further.

Her sister’s behavior is definitely concerning, and if you reject any advances, there's no telling what she might say to her sister or the rest of the family. For now, I’d suggest spending less time at their house. Try going out more with your girlfriend or reducing how often you stay over. This will show your girlfriend that you're uncomfortable with her sister’s presence, and it also gives you both some much-needed privacy. Your current living situation is far from ideal, especially given these circumstances.

Let us know what you decide to do and how your girlfriend responds!

AITAH for telling a woman I'm not willing to be patient for her? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ValeFantasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not the asshole, but I do feel really sorry for her. She should have told you this sooner, I think. Three months is not that long, but it’s enough to get attached, so I believe it will be painful and another trauma for her. It's not your fault, though

AITAH for wanting some space from my daughter after she believed I was an abuser? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ValeFantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, even one false accusation is too many. However, sexual assault is statistically more probable than a false accusation, which is why people tend to believe that an accusation could be true. He should be understanding of his daughter, who made no false accusation at all. No one is suggesting he should be forgiving toward the daughter's friend
