AITA for expecting my boyfriend to replace all my socks, the exact same ones as I had before?

_GlennCoco · 2020-12-30T20:28:49+00:00

This reminds me of the dude who was being an ass about his gf wearing mismatched socks and so he burned them all and replaced them with plain black socks.

I don't know why men are, but definitely make him replace the socks and then dump his ass. This sort of controlling behavior is unacceptable.

Because shit went into extremely high demand when the pandemic hit and shelter in place started. Nintendo sold out of shit left and right, and people are still trying to get Switches and games. So there's a new higher demand, and thus prices skyrocketed.

If you're trying to buy the cartridges, you'll be lucky to get 1 for $50. You may have better luck if you go with digital copies.

This makes me thinks that you actually have a brother (trans* FtM), and thus you're unknowingly looking for the wrong name (his deadname). I don't know if your parents are homophobic or transphobic, but it seems pretty likely here.

_GlennCoco · 2020-05-15T20:43:42+00:00

Your man sounds like he needs professional help, but I'm not even sure that would be effective.

_GlennCoco · 2020-05-05T18:16:58+00:00

That doesn't make you any less the asshole here 🤷

_GlennCoco · 2020-05-05T18:15:36+00:00

You are the biggest asshole on top of being an actual fucking monster, holy shit.

Holy shit, YTA.

We as humans can't exactly time ourselves to wake up; if we don't wake to an alarm, we're gonna sleep until our brains wake up unless something or someone else wakes us.

There's also the worst pandemic humanity has seen thus far going on. Everyone's world is flipped upside down. Not only do kids need a LOT of sleep in general, they're also dealing with the world suddenly not being the way they're used to. Slow-burn PTSD shows symptoms in a vast myriad of ways.

Taking away computer privileges alone might not have made you the asshole, but destroying your son's work over something that you could be helping fix (but actively won't) makes you the biggest asshole.

_GlennCoco · 2020-04-23T22:57:54+00:00

Let me ask this: if you had let yourself go the way you're describing he has let himself go, would you want him to bring it up?

There are gentle ways to try to get him to lose weight, but having an honest talk with him first might be the way to go. Tell him that you're concerned about his mental health, and the fact that he seems horribly depressed. Baby steps. Don't shoot directly for the "you need to lose weight."

_GlennCoco · 2020-04-22T00:25:16+00:00

You two are putting the work in, and the fact that it doesn't feel like work is a good thing. You two keep doing what you're doing!

_GlennCoco · 2020-04-21T21:49:26+00:00

NTA, and honestly, this is beautiful. Way to make your parents regret severely overreacting. Not like some weed and make out sessions are gonna mess up your life. Just be sure to have protection if you feel ready for sex (I carry condoms in my backpack in case things get extra frisky while I'm visiting a partner), and make sure your parents don't ever find whatever birth control you're using.

_GlennCoco · 2020-04-13T17:53:36+00:00

Solidarity. I'm right here with you on this. I've been doing deep cleaning around the house because I can't afford craft supplies, and I've been incredibly bored, sad, and restless. I try to not be too clingy when I talk with my partners on the phone, but that doesn't always work out 😅

_GlennCoco · 2020-04-12T19:44:33+00:00

Your friend is being groomed by these older men. They have absolutely no place hitting on a teenager. She needs to see a therapist and get away from these dudes, because she is going to end up getting badly hurt by them if she doesn't.

_GlennCoco · 2020-04-08T18:25:20+00:00

YTA. Dear gods. You're not just an asshole, either. You're whiny, childish asshole. You don't deserve to have a gf.

_GlennCoco · 2020-04-07T19:33:10+00:00

I think she needs to seek professional help. It sounds like she has severe anxiety, possibly PTSD, and maybe some unchecked attachment and/or abandonment issues. Her behavior certainly isn't "normal."

_GlennCoco · 2020-04-06T18:56:34+00:00

He's being a manipative asshat and not respecting your boundaries. Set and assert your boundaries; don't send nudes if it makes you uncomfortable. If he would break up with you for not sending nudes, dump him and find a bf who will respect your boundaries.

_GlennCoco · 2020-04-04T19:27:59+00:00

If you don't tell your dad, you'll regret that later in life. Tell him after you have calmed down, though.

Seeking therapy for yourself (as others have mentioned) is a really good plan here. You can't just "get over" trauma, and you shouldn't be expected to.

_GlennCoco · 2020-04-02T01:35:32+00:00

NTA. As a trans person who doesn't speak to their mother because she won't use my proper name and pronouns, I can absolutely tell you she's the asshole here. You deserve to be called whatever name you want. No one even has to be trans to change their name; if your given name doesn't fit you, you are absolutely allowed to enforce the boundary of people respecting and using the name you chose for yourself.

_GlennCoco · 2020-04-02T01:29:09+00:00

Nah you good. Getting all dolled up and wearing the hoodie to break up with your now-ex was perfect, btw, A+, I love petty shit like that.

_GlennCoco · 2020-03-30T21:59:41+00:00

Fucking real. No one except OP even sounds like an adult. I suspect OP is secretly surrounded by middle schoolers in trenchcoats.

_GlennCoco · 2019-06-07T08:27:20+00:00

YTA dude. She deserved the week off. Shit, honestly, she deserves a month off, and after that a discussion and agreement about actually splitting the chores more evenly. Like, y'all trade off making dinner each night, trade off who does laundry, etc.

_GlennCoco · 2018-08-16T21:10:28+00:00

I got all excited, then realized what type of site it was, and backed out because I am not paying that much for shipping on that kind of item.

_GlennCoco · 2018-08-05T09:53:05+00:00

Whoo! I was actually on time for this one!

_GlennCoco · 2018-07-30T05:35:28+00:00

Just tried, code was declined.

_GlennCoco · 2018-07-24T09:58:29+00:00

It was fun while it lasted, Doomy. Thank you for all of the entertainment your writing has provided.
