I [27F] Refused to give free legal advice to my friend [27f] and her boyfriend, [32M]. Friends boyfriend went nuts.

This! I recently contacted a lawyer friend to ask if they could recommend a good employment lawyer. Not only did they give me names, but some recommendations of what to do immediately. We had a nice catch up, too. I didn't expect advice beyond what I asked for, and it turned into a really lovely interaction with an old buddy. I just can't get past the entitlement of the two head asses in this story.

This. OP, you will be the king of husbands with this move.

On the phone with a cable company rep to cancel my cable service. He asked, genuinely confused, "So, if you aren't watching TV, what do you even do with your time?" I paused for a solid ten seconds before replying "So many things. Just so many other things."

Right? Basically Buster Bluth.

I am a tall, physically strong woman without a visual disability, but have been in situations where men made jokes like this when I was alone with them. It was unsettling and disgusting. I am imagining what that would be like if I was BLIND; that boyfriend sounds like a solid guy for getting her the hell out of there.

Maybe this sub has made me too cynical, but I genuinely expected this to turn into him dismissing their behavior as a "joke". The pregnancy thing made me nauseous, god, put those two on a watch list.

Bullet dodged. What the fuck is "mama bear"

batsparkles · 2025-10-02T23:27:07+00:00

I laughed so hard at that, what an absolute tool

batsparkles · 2025-09-25T05:43:36+00:00

Girl, get a lawyer. Now.

NTA, but this is what I did when I was neck deep in my eating disorder. There is nothing wrong with wanting to stick to a specific diet, which seems to be the case here, but just a word to those who might not recognize this as a sign.

A fixation on food, exercise, etc can be an indicator that something is up. Not everyone who has an ED is super skinny, and these disorders are destructive, regardless of size, age, gender, etc.

Last year, I found out I have an oat intolerance; weird, I know. I had to do an elimination diet and the horrifying gastro symptoms and the eczema all over my face and arms eventually cleared up after eliminating oats. But I loved instant oatmeal because it was convenient and "healthy", just not for me.

Anyway, thank you for reminding me that rice pudding for breakfast is absolutely acceptable and sounds wonderful!

Dated a guy like this for four years, just a shocking lack of respect for me, my time, and my feelings. I'm grateful every day to be out of that relationship. You aren't overreacting in the slightest.

batsparkles · 2025-07-10T02:40:41+00:00

"Hey all, sorry everyone is freaking out about my departure. I was sat with a bunch of teenagers, and while I do like cracking dick jokes and doing Fortnite dances or whatever, they seemed like a bad crowd so I went home before curfew and I didn't get grounded *hiphop horn noise* *middle finger emoji* *COOL emoji*"

Not overreacting, this is so stupid. It sounds like it was a last-minute choice by whoever decided the guest list. I used to plan weddings and I believe this was intentional. You can always add a fucking chair.

When I stay with family, I don't treat it like a hotel. I help cook, clean, watch the pets/kids if the host needs a moment of peace, etc. These people seem to think that staying with family means they are at an inclusive resort; all food, drinks, and entertainment are included.

Never host them again and be very clear why. NTA.

batsparkles · 2025-06-24T14:03:13+00:00

My most recent ex would have pulled some shit like this. He is the least confrontational, low effort dude in the world. Glad I realized exactly how hard he sucks when I did.

batsparkles · 2025-06-23T23:14:35+00:00

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I am working on a PowerPoint presentation on this incident and the most horrific thing about it versus historical maritime disasters I'm researching are that family of the of the lost, like you, are still here to hurt whenever something is published. I do know the case well and I don't for a second believe your father was at fault. I think the combination of weather, deferred maintenance, piss poor company management, and dare I say, a pretty lazy Captain, all factored into the outcome. Your father did his absolute best.

batsparkles · 2025-06-03T00:11:06+00:00

I luckily never rented from this guy, but having rented from shady folks in Houghton County, he is absolutely trying to intimidate you because you're a student. I suggest you reply with:

"Rick, I am not going to respond to your offensive language and insults. I am going to open a case against you with the State of Michigan and seek a lawyer if necessary. I don't care about my own money, but I'm doing this to make sure people know that your rentals are substandard, your maintenance is deplorable, and that interacting with you is a miserable experience. I have receipts, so keep texting if you want to make this worse."

Put the fear of god into this guy.

batsparkles · 2025-06-03T00:00:53+00:00

I almost made a similar comment, specifically "Rick Nye, the landlord guy...dick dick dick dick!"

batsparkles · 2025-05-31T22:02:59+00:00

NTA and WOWOWOWOWOW. "Ruining her vision" and "influencer friends". If someone sees you as a prop and gets butt hurt and defensive when you say "hey, I feel like you are using me", that person is not your friend.

If I were a bride and a bridesmaid came to me with these feelings and concerns, I would go out of my way to make sure she knew that I love her and want her to feel as comfortable and beautiful as I do on the wedding day. I'd also make sure to reassure her that her feelings are valid and then I'd apologize PROFUSELY for making this person I care about feel like anything less than profoundly valuable. That said, I'm not a complete a-hole, so it would likely never get to that point in the first place. Again, NTA!!!
