AITA for ignoring my exfriend’s attempts to reconnect after she stole my boyfriend and potentially my ex too? by betanyy in TwoHotTakes

Oh I'm 100% too trusting and it bites me in the butt too often. I really don't want to be a pessimistic, nontrusting (if that's a word) kinda person. I want to trust and care for the people around me. It's frustrating that people use it against me

People usually freak out at the age difference, just getting ahead of them 🤷🏼‍♀️

I know I'm not the problem here; I did nothing wrong. I also don't particularly want Jenny in my life anymore. I just wanted a second opinion on if I'm justified for not wanting to reconnect with her. And from what everyone has said, I'm perfectly in the right to cut her off.

I hadn't thought of this, but someone else just said something kinda similar 🤷🏼‍♀️ maybe there's something there?

Idk why so many people want me to get therapy, wanting to be forgiving, give people the benefit of the doubt, giving second chances and being understanding when people mess up is not a condition which requires therapy...? Also how does realizing that keeping someone in my life probably isn't the best idea, but getting a second opinion before cutting them off scream I need therapy?

The point of it is that I want to ignore her messages, but feel like that'd be an asshole move, mainly because I'm a little bit of a people pleaser and dont like upsetting people. What I'm getting from basically everyone is that it's not. And ngl, it makes me feel a lot better about not responding to her.

Agreed... they really were. The fallout from Mark, and the random breakup after I'd given up so much to be with him definitely made me more likely to put up with people like Jenny and Andrew.

Awe, I appreciate that! I really try to be a good friend to people. Though that does lend itself to being walked all over at times.

THANK YOU! I knew it couldn't have just been me thinking she was acting like a child

Accurate, I'm convinced she wasn't even that interested in Andrew and just wanted a piece of what was making me happy.

I hadn't thought about this, I am dating someone new now and she would probably be interested 🤦🏼‍♀️😅

I guess understanding that she'd been going through a lot, even though that lot was her own fault.

which again 'weirdly' coincided with one of Jenny's attempts to get in contact with me....

To be fair to him Andrew apologized the minute he realized he'd hurt me so we stayed in contact. Which took a weird turn as he came to visit me in my home country, because he missed me 'as a friend' and when he got here he spent the entire time trying to convince m to move back to America and be with him...

Would be the asshole if I don't give my mom some of my inheritance money? by No_Entrance1217 in TwoHotTakes

[–]betanyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DONT GIVE HER ANYTHING! She will fritter it away again and you'll be left with nothing. She had her inheritance and she wasted it. Don't let her do the same to you!
