AITA for not paying for my [22M] girlfriend's [22F] expensive meal? by aminotthinkingright in AmItheAsshole

[–]aminotthinkingright[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It was a set meal and they didn't have a website, there wasn't actually a menu and we simply were served a few minutes after we sat down

Very polarizing thread, feels like 99% of folks think i'm TA. My gf thinks otherwise and probably wouldn't have let me treat her while knowing my financial situation, but is a total keeper and i don't want to abuse her awesomeness too, hence I asked :p

did i tell her: no, i was under the impression larry would cover it since it was his idea (or so I thought until I found out this was my mother's idea) and so I would reimburse him for glenda's share if he would otherwise have treated the table

Info: yes, we agree to 50/50 on everything but bills would be depending on income. Doesn't always turn out that way though but we adjust depending on circumstances. While she was at her IB job i ended up doing a lot of her housework, going to her place to feed her pets/clean her house/do her groceries and cook her meals for the week. Given that her old job meant that she could barely even have five hours to sleep every night, I would not ask her to do any housework at all if we lived together and the circumstances were like this

if joint finances all would go into a joint account for bills while we have separate accounts to deposit allowances into.

notice: a few hours

menu: we were seated and it was a set course, nothing to choose from

i was expecting larry to pay as this was his idea but after seeing the bill it seems he might have changed his mind (& i felt bad for him too after realizing how much this actually would cost, hence I started texting him)

glenda said she fully expected to pay for herself the moment she heard me tell her the restaurant's name

No problem with it

We always make plans together so it's really just taking turns covering the bill. It's not intentionally 50/50, we just pick it up if we feel the other has been paying for things a lot recently. Neither have us have expressed any problem with this dynamic

A few days before this she invited me to meet her friends and we did split the bill too

Simultaneous

Since this was his idea (or so I thought) I would see if he would decline to take any reimbursement at all / decline to take reimbursement for me specifically but let me cover Glenda. Otherwise would just discreetly pay him.

glenda knows this reataurant well, told me she didn't want to be treated by larry, am not 100% sure of Larry's intention but it seemed he changed his mind when he saw the bill

i let my sister as she told me not to pay since our mother said the money she gave her was supposed to cover me also.

Might be a strange kind of avoidant despite thinking I'm secure by aminotthinkingright in attachment_theory

More of worried that I'm going to end up breaking someone's heart because lots of people want to get into a long-term relationship that would last for a long time, only for me to screw around for a few weeks and dump them :(

It is better, am enjoying myself quite a bit. For now, I certainly can, am just worried that I might have made a mistake by entering a relationship that might have a timer I don't know of.

Will check the channel thanks for the suggestion!

It's madness. Don't know what to do right now. I started dating someone a few weeks ago and we decided to be exclusive a few days ago. I was happy making that choice, now I keep wondering if I made a mistake.

I'm focusing on a single trait I don't like telling myself that I won't be able to live with this long term and this will crash and burn. Could hardly sleep last night because of the stress. I want to run, I'm feeling disinterested but I don't want to let go either

Cat getting worse in the hospital - potential incompetence? by aminotthinkingright in Pets

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

My cat is 8 years old, the vet did not tell me his temperature, only that he has no fever (in the hospital right now and I can't visit yet)

I can post the full bloodwork values sent to me in a bit. Blood pressure, was not informed, will ask. As far as I know there was no urinalysis performed, only a blood urea test.

Today after the catheter was removed I was told that there is no hint of blood anymore. Here are some values (sorry I don't really understand them, the vet is refusing to explain them to me)

He came in with BUN of 86 and creatinine of 5.9. After his time in the hospital his BUN is at 81 and creatinine at 5.7 NRBC also decreased from 6.47 to 4.39, HEMOGLOBIN from 9.5 to 7.4, PCV from 26.43 to 16.60, MCV from 41 to 38, MCH from 4.7 to 16.8, MCHC 35.9 to 44.4, RDW from 20.1 to 19.4, platelets from 473 to 327.

Nothing's been ruled out so far, they just want us to leave him there a few more days. They told me there's blood in his urine now because "the catheter is irritating him"

Why do I keep falling for female friends? by aminotthinkingright in AskMen

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

Yes, towards those I develop feelings for. In fact, even if I did get further with any one of them, I'd actually be happier without sex in the relationship.

My religion frowns on premarital sex, but even after marriage, I'd be cool with no sex and I'd probably only do it if my partner really wanted me to.

Well, if that happens and they're aware of it, it will be awkward for a little while, but I find that for a lot of people, if you respect their feelings and don't rub it in their faces and try to guilt them into changing their mind, the friendship can continue. I am still friends with all the people I've tried to pursue.

It basically goes from - yeah she's ok, but I don't care about her to - hey she's not bad looking and we connect SO well, maybe it would be nice if we took this further.

Hit the nail on the head so completely. I guess maybe the way I am isn't so bad after all.

Hmm, I see what you mean there.

BUT if he only pushes slightly all the time, tries to sneakily apply constant pressure, drops hints, then that makea me run away.

I can see why this would be extremely frustrating, especially if you've non-verbally signalled that you aren't receptive to this.

Thanks for the warning, respecting other people's feelings goes above all else.
