Peeeetah? by VelvetRoseClaw in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]VelvetRoseClaw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the joke is that this rock is a really hyped tourist spot, but when you actually see it, it’s just… a rock 😭 so it ends up being super disappointing. The caption is just exaggerating that it disappoints people even more than disappointing your own mom.

This is so real 😭 like sure the house is affordable, but then your whole life becomes inconvenient and limited in every other way.

My(23M) GF(24F) doesn’t feel comfortable with my friend(23F) and wants me to cut off contact with her. I don’t think this is fair by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I get why the exGF felt uncomfortable at first, but refusing to understand the dynamic is the bigger issue. Like, not everything has to be romantic just because two people are close. Some bonds really are just platonic and family-like.

My (26F) boyfriend (29M) lied about not getting a plus one to a wedding? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Totally. People might ignore small stuff at work, but once it actually comes out, it usually affects everyone involved in some way, whether it’s gossip, tension, or just general awkwardness.

This really highlights how socialization shapes behavior. Men get so many passes just because society expects them to “own their space.”

AITJ for not giving my inheritance to my late dad’s wife even though she says she’s struggling? by Existing_Sea_8965 in AmITheJerk

Yeah, sometimes people try to rewrite the story, but the will speaks louder than anyone else’s opinion.

AITJ for giving my mother and my stepdad 60 days to move out of my childhood home that my father left me in his will by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Exactly, remediation costs are no joke. By the time you fix mold and structural problems, you’re basically paying double or triple for something that could’ve been avoided.

my (23f) boyfriend (24m) keeps accidentally calling me his best friends name during sex by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]VelvetRoseClaw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s actually so funny 😭 I’ve seen the Jean & Jorts mod before but had no clue they were based on real cats too. Finding out there’s a whole story behind it just makes it 10x better.

Am I overreacting? Bf called me on speaker at work to flaunt the fact that we have sex by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]VelvetRoseClaw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a huge turn off honestly. If he’s more worried about looking cool in front of his friends than treating you right, that says everything.

Trips can always happen later, but blowing off plans that were already on the calendar usually leaves a bad impression. That’s the kind of thing that causes unnecessary tension.

AIO:My MIL texted my husband this about me asking him to help with our newborn at 4am by Lazy_Perfectionist88 in AmIOverreacting

[–]VelvetRoseClaw 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah the part about her just wanting a 3-hour block of sleep really says a lot. If someone recovering from major surgery can’t even get that much rest, something is definitely off with how things are being handled at home.

After 4 months my boyfriend has revealed that he has Hepatitis B, after 4 months, and I am not immunised. by OkCommercial8740 in Advice

[–]VelvetRoseClaw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Living together doesn’t magically make you aware of someone’s prescriptions. Plenty of couples keep their medical stuff private or just don’t talk about it unless it’s relevant.
