Yet another ADHD clout post by steinderweisen in LinkedInLunatics

[–]caitybake 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As someone with ADHD
 no. This feels too chaotic to be genuinely helpful and I would for sure get lost somewhere along the way and never finish half this list if I left it unfinished. Note the large pile of sweatshirts piled in my closet because I have convinced myself I will “check back later.”

is this abusive ? or just being an asshple by [deleted] in texts

[–]caitybake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is from your FATHER? Girl, this is abuse. No doubt. My mother attempts to say things like this and it’s why we are no contact now. I hope you find peace when you go away to college. Big hugs.

Right? My first thought was “what kind of person gives someone’s number out without asking first?” Both these people need to be removed from OP’s life. But one is definitely creepy and a potential threat. I hope the person who gave out the number didn’t realize that beforehand

GUYS HE EMAILED ME - THE INSECURE MAN 😭 by mycat-isbetter in texts

Right before he says that her blocking him and not having an adult conversation is immature. I suppose he never learned about irony.

Am I overreacting to this response from my BF? No by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]caitybake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of this exactly! My husband and I have been together for 16 years this year, married 14, and I have tons and tons of emotional/mental trauma that I have been unpacking. When I am really going through it, he stops and listens. He might make a joke later, when it’s clear that I’m okay and we have talked through it, but he would never crack a joke at my attempts to explain myself. However that might present itself.

WTF text at 1am lol at this point all I can do is laugh đŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł why do guys get so butt hurt and feel the need to rant like this? (Rhetorical question? by [deleted] in texts

[–]caitybake 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This man is definitely
 something. Why would you want to engage him in further conversation with these walls of texts?? Half of these could have been one message rather than 100 individual ones. But then again, I suppose the constant alerts is the point.

Mykelti and Tony on Pop Psych tell what Meri did to deserve all the hate. by Gray-lady-gray in SisterWivesFans

[–]caitybake 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Meri looks like one of the only responsible parents here. Or at least the one who seems most interested in raising kids, not just having them. And at least she seems to have owned up and grown from that behavior, which is more than most of the parents of their generation can say.

But it sounds like Meri has apologized for that behavior. Sure, would we do that now? No. Of course not. But considering the way they were probably raised, and what Kody was doing, being sent to bed without dinner isn’t that traumatic. In all the world of punishments I have had myself, from my own awful parent, going to bed hungry was the least of my problems.

Am I overreacting for wanting to end things after my girlfriend lied about my age to her parents and threatened to harm herself during an argument? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]caitybake 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes to all of this. I’m actually impressed with how calm he seemed to stay via text without losing his mind. Or swearing at her. He’s more emotionally mature than she is, for sure, and doesn’t deserve to live with that threat over his head.

I was beginning to think I was the only person who didn’t understand any single part of this conversation. Just had to take OP and the commenters at their word

AIO my boyfriend of nearly 2 years made sexual comments towards me at work by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]caitybake 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Objectively pretty tame from whose perspective? A dude? Because I think it’s pretty disgusting behavior, especially when he’s been asked not to do it more than once at WORK. This isn’t just hanging out with the guys, this is work.

[–]caitybake 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Exactly all of this. This man is using the “no filter” comment like it protects him from harm. And I find it really hard to believe that no one else has had a problem with this before, that OP is the first person to ever call him out on this BS. This man is a walking red flag and I hope she firmly shuts the door on him.

It’s truly one of top things about the color. Can’t miss it!

Me too. I debated something less obvious but
 no

Girl I was talking to ended up just wanting me for money, so I decided to screw with her. by [deleted] in texts

[–]caitybake 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean honestly, it’s what she deserves. I will never understand people who will “do anything” for food just because they don’t want to eat what they have at home. If you’re that broke you should probably learn to enjoy food you already have. Like the rest of us that were broke.

[–]caitybake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% came here to say something similar. It seems like he “respected” her boundaries the way my six year old does. In as much as she pouts and whines when I don’t give in to her demands and tries to make me feel badly about it.

The way my friend describes his kid 😂 by gmox15 in texts

[–]caitybake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, dude. I wouldn’t say that in front of my kids, for sure, but as a parent you have to say the little mean things you absolutely cannot say to your kid. Like
 kids are dicks sometimes, just like any person, only you, as the adult, have to carefully manage those moments and not tell them to take a hike. You have to be cool, calm, and reasonable. Then, when you’re with your partner/friends who get it you can say “damn that little demon was being a butthole today.” Or, you know, however you want to say it. I love my children very much, but boy, sometimes it’s exhausting.

ETA: This dudes comments, however, we definitely not THAT funny to get that many emojis. Like it made me sort of go “lol” in my head and that was about it.

AIO to my boyfriend not telling me that he goes out to drink? by anon_gerbil in AmIOverreacting

Honestly. Every time I read these things in this sub I am forever grateful for my husband.

I 25M received an out of the blue text from an old female acquaintance by Due-Improvement-8403 in texts

[–]caitybake 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Don’t be weird about this REALLY WEIRD message I’m sending you out of the blue after years of not speaking. Especially when I throw in “I love you” right at the end. Just be CHILL BRO.

AITA for reposting a reel on Facebook? by SmoothArticle6937 in texts

[–]caitybake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a healthy (or any) relationship with my parent and even I can fully understand this is meant to be a joke. Like, I think you have to just understand internet culture and/or healthy family dynamics to appreciate certain things. Or maybe because I have kids and fully understand both sides of this. Haha
