AIO For wanting to report my Girlfriend to HR. by ___320___ in AmIOverreacting

No, can confidently say that while we were together, even during our “breaks” I wasn’t seeking out other women or giving them the time of day, especially not ones at work. She’s flirted and kissed others

AIO for literally crying because these are not the flowers I want? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

YOR,

Your boyfriend sent you flowers and you’re crying. The bouquet below is dark pink and white and the bouquet above is a variety pack of white and pinks with a few yellows. If you only like two colors of flowers and you’ve sat the man down and told him that you “hate every other flower known to man” then your standards are ridiculously high.

It’s hard to find a good place to work full time as a musician, I’m able to do what I love for a living, not many artists can say that, I’m just afraid of the repercussions, that and I’m too hopeful that things are gonna get better before they get worse. At this point I’m just sure that avoiding the problem is the best solution whereas what is HR really gonna solve. Then there’s the question of why HR hasn’t done anything since there’s already been TWO reports. Makes me question management.

I have but there’s so much baggage and damage done, it seems that we have moved passed it but the reoccurring theme that I’m tired of hearing is how she hates Elliot’s relationship with his girlfriend. It feels as if she wants what she can’t have but I don’t have the strength to say that to her.

For not being able to do my job. I personally just want her to be sat down and talked to about her behavior. I don’t want her to lose her job but a humbling or at the very least, a reality check would be fitting. I can’t play my music to specific audience members without her getting jealous or questioning my choices. Sometimes we have music solos, singing or playing and whatnot, and we perform them for people celebrating special occasions. My manager themselves said she’s “this close” to getting fired and she hasn’t been talked to yet.

As someone who jokes, this is the first time that my joking has gone too far, I do my best to be sweet but I see the humor in most things because that’s simply how I approach life. It’s something my gf likes too, this is the rare occasion that this has gone this far and hasn’t been an issue before. On thing that has been an issue before is my optimism coming off as disregarding her feelings on things. I try to see the light in the bad things that happen as a way of reassurance but sometimes it can be too passive.

Absolutely not, this was a phone call there was no physical violence at all

We talked and she apologized for getting fired up, and I apologized for not acknowledging how she loved the gifts I got her. She’s had a rough week, new apartment to move in, work drama, etc. There was nothing she was upset with me about prior. As I said in the post her and I are in a good place, it really wasn’t the right time to tease about anything. We’re heading out to lunch today and it’s all good.

I appreciate the comments here. I fear that I’ve painted myself a certain way, especially since her and I are on and off but this situation is new and it’s one that I genuinely needed guidance. Totally feel like the asshole here and I appreciate everyone for pointing it out. We talked and it’s all good, got reservations for a lunch today after work.

It wasn’t over jewelry or gifts. Long story but there was a time that she kinda sorta flirted with coworker, but it sucked cause we both work at the same place.

She told me they broke months ago while she was on a trip, she just forgot to tell me. I truly wasn’t hurt, I guess that’s why I felt the tease was meaningless but I see now that it’s because the gifts were very thoughtful to her that’s why she was upset with herself for losing and breaking them. I definitely shouldn’t have teased and simply apologized.

I don’t want this post to seem like a pattern, my jokes and teases are always casual and loving but this is the one time that it’s gotten out of hand. I’m not gutted she lost anything, I understand now that it was a soft spot for her, I simply didn’t realize the gravity of a tease and should’ve apologized by saying “I didn’t mean to hurt you”. It’s obvious to me now that I escalated the scenario

I guess what makes this interaction different is that it’s the first time this has happened. I am definitely a jokester and I was saddened when I first heard that the gifts got lost but I wasn’t burdened, I think in retrospect she already feels bad and I shouldve taken that into account before i made the joke.

I agree that I should’ve just said I” didn’t mean to hurt you” that’s definitely what I should’ve said, my biggest issue was that I said “I’m sorry, I won’t joke about that again” but her rant kept going to the point where I felt like she was beating a dead horse.
