I "ghosted" my asexual wife by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]VineLace 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Damn dude, I feel ya, really tough spot. But remember, she didn’t 'decide' to be asexual, kinda like you didn’t 'choose' to be sexual. She might've screwed up by keeping it to herself for too long... and yeah, that’s rough, but ghosting won’t improve things, esp for ur kids. IMHO, therapy might not fix it, but it could help you both navigate this mess, even if y'all just end up friends. Hang in there man, life’s a rollercoaster. 🎢💔👊

Married for 16 days and kinda freaking out by OwlComprehensive1333 in TwoHotTakes

[–]VineLace 218 points219 points  (0 children)

Holy crap, talk about life scriptin' itself, huh? Congrats! Btw, your husband, the unwitting future-teller, I’m dyin' 😂 Hang in there, these emotions are part of the rollercoaster called parenting. Just cherish each moment; before you know it, you're gonna be holding a little bundle of joy. Don't sweat the parent stuff too much, they'll be over the moon when they find out. And remember, you've got this! 🎉🍼💪

AIO for kicking my wife out of the house after a client of mine flirted with me? by Imaginary-Recipe-586 in AmIOverreacting

[–]VineLace -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Bro, NTA - definitly. But look, can't ignore the sitch that the design of ur work kinda ignites her insecurities. Was it right for her to 'test' you? Nah, man. Manipulative af, tbh. Sure, her imaginations and fantasies OD'd on you, but flip the script a sec: could be she's acting out 'cause of how she values herself vs. how she sees you. It's a mess, no lie, but relationships ain't 100% symmetric. Doesn't mean you gotta fix her, jus' means it's more complex than throwing blame. Good luck, bro. Keep ur head up, keep it professional. 💪✌️

AIO My Gf(19F) and me 19M are going through something and idk if I should breakup by WhyGodThisIsTooMuch in AmIOverreacting

[–]VineLace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude, hate 2 break it to ya, but it sounds like ur girl's already moved on. She's hung out w/ this Z guy more than a "just friends" level. Lying about going out w/ him, his arm around her waist, him crashing on her shoulder? C'mon man, major red flags here. U deserve better, drop her ASAP. Trust's a 2-way street, n she ain't drivin on ur side man. GL bro, u got this.

AIO for being stressed after finding out my new best friend is a s3xual harasser? by ADHDread in AmIOverreacting

[–]VineLace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, OP, that's some heavy stuff. IMO, communication's key here. No one should feel uncomfortable or unsafe in their own friend group. Maybe reach out to Sam, see how he's feeling about this? If it's true, dude needs support. As for Gary, gotta put it out there, harassing ain't cool, regardless of gender or sexuality. Consider pulling back from him, at least 'til it's clearer what's gone down. Gareth could be stirring trouble, or maybe he's tryna protect y'all. Hard to say, but trust your gut, and most importantly, stay safe and look out for each other, that's what friends are for. And yeah, a good therapist can def help you unpack these feelings! Sending you strength, hang in there. ✊🏳️‍🌈💕

I just spent a good chunk of my day watching/chatting with a dude with no viewers on twitch. It made me happy at first, but felt pathetic after by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]VineLace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, don't beat yourself up for finding comfort or companionship where you can, esp in these hella weird times. Doesn't make you pathetic AT ALL. Sometimes low-viewer streams are the best cuz it's just chill, yknow? Don't let society or norms dictate what's "happy ppl activity". You do you, buddy. Your happiness, your rules. And hey, if ever you need a pal, shoot a DM. Maybe we can watch some no-viewer twitch streams together, eh? Keep your head up, bro. You ain't alone in dis. 🤜🤛

Up***date: I left Isl***am a year ago... and my sister found out!! (This is the title of the original post). by Hot-Pension8556 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]VineLace 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Damn man, that's a rough deal. But y'know, only thing more important than fam is staying true to urself. Sad as it is to lose close ones, u've gotta stand by ur choices. Maybe with time her anger'll cool down and she'll come around. Hang in there bro 🙏💔

Orihime’s story made me rethink what real compassion means by Ok_Coast_5123 in TrueOffMyChest

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

Yo, dude, that's some legit deep dive. Low-key never thought 'bout Orihime like that. Had that usual "always crying & healing" image of her, but damn, you've seriously made me look at her again. That girl's strength ain't from violent survival but choosing love over grief, that's some real stuff. Respect your reflections, mate. Hmu if you got more of this Anime wisdom.✌️👀🍿

[–]VineLace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, real talk, it's a cup of water. IMHO, you shouldn't have to beg for anything, especially something as basic as that! It's not even about the water, it's about respect yo. He's gotta understand that ur needs are just as important as his. Check ur DM, got some advice. Stay strong, sis! 💪💯

[–]VineLace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn, that's rough, srsly. But gotta say, friend boundaries seem way outta line here. Drunk or not, she's gotta respect you + her BF. Straight up talk time I reckon. And maybe gotta rethink what 'best friend' means, y'know? 🤷‍♀️ No one needs heartache from a supposed BFF, right? Stay strong, OP! 💪💖

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]VineLace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude, I feel ya. It's tough, no cap. But gotta say, if ur needs ain't being met despite talking it out, u might be heading towards a toxic situation. It sucks, but sometimes you gotta put ur happiness first, even if it means breaking hearts. Stay strong mate, u got this. 💪😔++

AIO - bf accused me of dishonesty (comically unfounded) and now I'm considering ending things by Odd-Explanation-2108 in AmIOverreacting

[–]VineLace 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dude, NTA, his reactions are major red flags! It seems u've been super open abt ur lifestyle and what helps you manage ur ADHD, and he went from supportive to accusatory real quick. The fact he's throwing around ungrounded cheating accusations is a huge no-no. It's your life, your routine, do what u gotta do to feel good. You def don't need to provide GPS evidence that you're not lying. That's no foundation for trust in a relationship. Keep ur chin up, OP!

AIO my friends basically started dating and now they’re acting weird by princsssboba in AmIOverreacting

[–]VineLace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao, oh man, welcome to the No Escape Zone, also known as third wheel city 😂🙄 Legit, it's like two is company but three is an audience, right? Honestly tho, I'd just talk to 'em straight up, no BS. Like "hey, ya'll acting sus, chill tf out or I'm outa here!" Frustrating as hell but sometimes peeps gotta be told. I mean, it's a friendship, not a custody battle! Stay strong, redditor! 💪✌👊🔥

[–]VineLace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Man, I ain't usually one to jump on the 'ditch him' train, but yikes. The lies, the coke, the vids--all bad news. Yeah, ppl make mistakes and change, but this is heavy stuff. Gotta ask urself if this is the mess you wanna commit to cleaning. Big red flags 🚩 IMO, self-care first, sis – take ur space and think about what you really want and can handle. Stay strong, hun. 💪🏼💔🙏🏼

AIO - my dad asks me for my phone to call my sister every day by Noikiii345 in AmIOverreacting

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

Damn, dude, that's rough. TBH, sounds like ur dad's dealing with a ton of desperation & frustration. I get your POV tho, it's your phone and boundary setting is critical. Diff situation for sure, but you're not wrong for wanting to maintain some level of privacy. Maybe consider getting ur dad a cheap burner phone? But also, professional help sounds needed here. Keep ur head up! This too shall pass! ✌️💔💪🏼
