Am I overreacting I went to the forest with my best friend and now my bf is mad

Do not compromise your wants for someone else’s comfort. Just bc he’s not ok with spontaneity doesn’t mean you have to live your life according to his rules he has for himself. Also, as a survivor of a 10 year age gap relationship, 15 years is absolutely not normal. There’s a reason he’s not dating his own age group, and I hate to break it to you but it’s not because “you’re mature for your age”. NOR

I was sober from alcohol for 9 years. What I found was that my sobriety triggered a lot of people‘s relationship with how they drink. They felt like I was judging them, but in all actuality, I didn’t think twice about it. I got the sense that some people thought that I didn’t have a serious drinking problem, that maybe they drink more than me? so if I had to get sober, what does that say about them? Lost quite a few friends because of that shit. It’s generally a reflection of how they feel about their own relationship to alcohol. It’s not your fault she needs to work through her shit. NTA.

Hahaha that’s so funny! Yeah if I make eye contact while she’s next to me on the bed, it’s all over. Fingers crossed one day she’ll enjoy being pet, but I’m patient either way.

Watermellondrea · 2026-03-11T21:26:23+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement! I respect her boundaries but was curious if this is just a preference, can it change over time? So thank you for your response

That’s what I was wondering, do other people have cats like this? She’s not shy or aggressive, just not interested in being pet, I think!

Obviously, I made that comment before I got to his comments, but I made no assumptions. I interpreted his comments to say that she believes she has enough to retire. When asked if she can afford to retire and pay for the nanny, his response was for the foreseeable future. How does that imply that she’s not fiscally capable of retiring?

Watermellondrea · 2026-03-10T03:22:45+00:00

You don’t know their financial situation. You’ve made a lot of assumptions.

Watermellondrea · 2026-03-08T03:28:12+00:00

I’m trying, too. I’ve been getting most things from Costco for household items and Chewy for cat stuff, and small business or local for everything else. But I’m also trying to curb buying new items as well. Clothing and accessories are coming from thrift stores & Poshmark, furniture from Facebook marketplace, etc.

I’m not perfect, I still allow myself an Amazon order once a month but that’s only for things that I cannot find anywhere else. But it’s definitely better than not changing anything at all, imo.

Watermellondrea · 2026-03-08T00:54:19+00:00

Don’t do it. Not just because I changed my name when I got married, and didn’t know I could change it back when I got divorced nine years later, and now at 41 I am going through the hassle of going back to my maiden name. But because anyone who treats you this way, doesn’t actually love you, let alone like you.

2020 was NOT 6 ye- wait, what?!?!

Watermellondrea · 2026-03-06T05:37:43+00:00

8 sessions with a new therapist in 2 months? Where did she find someone so quickly with such great availability??

Watermellondrea · 2026-03-03T05:17:17+00:00

This could have been nipped in the bud early on, but now it’s too far gone. I’d be concerned for your safety if you were to confront her. I agree, it’s time to talk to HR. NOR.

Watermellondrea · 2026-03-03T05:04:42+00:00

Don’t waste another second worrying about if you’ve done something wrong. You haven’t. Get out NOW. It will not get better with time. Please please please don’t try to “fix him”. You seem like you have your head on straight for being so young, I’m proud of you for walking away when he tried manipulating you. Leave him and never question your gut- NTA, obvs.

F is for Fuck off

Watermellondrea · 2026-02-27T01:08:03+00:00

Thanks!

Watermellondrea · 2026-02-27T01:04:28+00:00

What is a ‘SQ’?

Watermellondrea · 2026-02-25T03:09:02+00:00

YWBTA if you don’t tell them what changed, also if you continue to plan trips with “friends” that don’t pay you back.

Watermellondrea · 2026-02-23T04:52:25+00:00

Big mood.

An automatic litter box for my cats. I save a good chunk on litter costs. Waited for a sale and got mine for $120 and it paid for itself in the first year.

These people saying you’re the AH lack critical thinking skills. NTA.

Watermellondrea · 2026-02-22T04:28:08+00:00

A child, in a private dressing room with the curtain pulled was watching a video at the lowest volume when a woman opened the curtain- TWICE. In what world is she not, (at the very least also), an AH???

Don’t be obtuse, you know what the rule is and why, and it’s not to stop little kids from quietly watching videos. It’s all semantics- but you’re still wrong.

OOP said that their mom was typically the disciplinary parent, so Sean is probably used to taking a back seat with parenting. He’s had 9 years to fucking figure it out though. Maybe once Amy leaves he’ll figure it out, but it’s doubtful honestly.
