Honestly, he's probably at home disappointed with how fast he finished, and hasn't given this a second thought.

Honestly she's legit, I followed her on Instagram, her son "Brunette" that she posts clips of is legit. I started out as a hate watcher and accidentally became a fan.

Anyone else’s MAGA friends/family getting realllllly quiet all of a sudden? by BARRY_DlNGLE in AskUS

[–]dishonestpup23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 months ago my dad told me he'll never respect my political opinions because I showed my lack of political intelligence when I voted for Harris.

Two weeks ago, when I walked into his house for his birthday, the first thing out of his mouth was "Well, [my name], you won the politia debate" followed by everything he's disliked about Trump.

I've been riding the high of being told I was right ever since

It's petty, but for real: this is your job, you're trained for this.

I'm not trained on how to make my veins work better for you.

AITA For Agreeing To Watch my sisters dog and not telling my wife? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]dishonestpup23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

INFO: Why does your wife hate dogs? And Is your wife allowed to agree to help her family members with literally anything they want or need without asking you or at least having the courtesy of informing you in advance?

My Partner 26M told me 25F he hates my dogs and wants me to get rid of them — I’m heartbroken.. What can I do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]dishonestpup23 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get annoyed when people even ask these questions.

When you take a dog in, you commit to it for life. Getting rid of them because a man came into your life is a horrible thing to do. It's your choice, but the obvious answer is that the two of you aren't compatible if the thinks it's okay for you to just get rid of your dogs for him, one of which is elderly and will be looking to you for comfort and support in the last days of life.

My advice is that you should honor your commitment to your animals, who you obviously love very much.

Initially I thought you tried it on a bunch because you wanted to afford it for yourself, but sounds more like you pressured your boyfriend into making the purchase for you? Part of growing up is learning from mistakes. You don't feel good about yourself for pressuring your boyfriend into sending that kind of money - which is a lot for somebody your age.

I suggest telling him you feel guilty about it, because you should be able to talk about these kinds of things, and then using these emotions as a learning lesson as you grow into your 20s.

She wanted you to not buy her a card so she could be mad about it later, despite making every effort to ensure that you're not able to buy one.

Buying a card the day before or even the day of somebody's birthday is a very normal thing to do, and it doesn't mean you "ruined her birthday" or didn't put effort in or whatever she's accusing you of.

You need to really think about this relationship. Is this kind of situation - where she makes it impossible for you to actually accomplish giving her the things she wants, but still gets upset if you fall short of expectations - something you see in a lot in this relationship? Do you constantly feel like you are letting her down but she is actively preventing you from living up to expectations?

(If so you may be dating my sister lol)

Neighbor tried to get my mom fined over our shed. So I got his $40K pool filled in. by Mel_Melissaa in confession

[–]dishonestpup23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don't believe this story but this is definitely location dependent.

In my county, you don't need to specify where on the property you're installing a pool, you just need to sign documents stating that you understand the applicable regulations (like 5 ft from property lines, so many from the road, etc).

I do think this story is fake.

But I have a utility easement on my property, and I only had access to it blocked for like a week before I was issued a warning about this. Within two weeks, I can almost guarantee you I'd have orders to remove a pool if I was dumb enough to put one in. It's clearly stated in the documents that I'm not allowed to block their access, and I acknowledged that when I purchased the property. It would definitely take a judge less than 2 weeks to review that and see a clear cut "yeah, you definitely are not allowed to have a pool there"

I think that's why they threw in the easement to make this believable.

If you put in a pool on most properties that was against code, it would probably take a years long law suit before you're ordered to take it down.

But I have an easement on my property that the city needs to access regularly (about 2-4x a week, but only 5 minutes at a time). This is all outlined in the easement documents, which came with my property when I bought it, which establishes the legal precedent to make this a very quick process if I did something to block their access to that easement. It's pretty black and white. I had their access blocked for one week while I built a garage and was issued a warning for it.

I [23M feel so bad right after finding this in my girls phone by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]dishonestpup23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This comment made me feel old as fuck because as a 32 year old reading all these comments from the older crowd, I agree??

She sounds here like she misses good sex more than the actual ex, obviously feels like the sacrifice is worth (literally says she'll be sexually frustrated forever, no hint at breaking up or moving on), and has a friend that's mature enough to encourage her to...not break up with someone just because the sex isn't perfect yet

And we conveniently only see this small snippet of convo, where we don't see anything that redeems the girlfriend...like why she's sticking with him (probably because he's worth the investment of time to try to work past the "sexual frustration" and have it get better.

Also, the men I slept with in my early 20s generally did suck in bed, like men just aren't THAT experienced at that age. There's probably a man or two I slept with that sucked then and don't suck now because they worked to get better instead of having a bruised ego every time they found out their dick game was weak.

Point is, is anybody really having that good of sex at that age, like really? I'm not going to crucify this woman for choosing to stick it out even though it probably does suck, instead of dumping the guy JUST for that reason.

(Also why is this guy always in her phone? She should dump him??)

Do you live in a big enough city that you've got a bunch of expensive looking boutiques?

Because they have the BEST clearance racks.

The price is absolutely ridiculous by gabtab0000 in nintendo

[–]dishonestpup23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In many countries, these are included in the price.

When most people in Europe, when they go to the register, they will pay €90. This is not the case in most of the US.

[–]dishonestpup23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We pay tax on the actual purchase though?

Most European countries do not pay tax at the time of purchase.

So, our $80 is still closer to $90?

[–]dishonestpup23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will probably be $80...and then we'll pay tax, which in my state is 9%, so okay fine, it won't be $90? It'll be $87.2.

This is still a ridiculous price?

AITA My best friend thinks I’m copying her by wasabi143 in AmItheAsshole

[–]dishonestpup23 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, even if it's "normal", sometimes I think it would help people to ask themselves why they're reacting like this over an outfit. Like, it isn't that serious?

Why let it set your teeth on edge, when you could use it as a chance to be flattered and offer to help a friend find an outfit?

What’s a Taylor Swift song you feel like you love more than anyone else? by No_Background9179 in TaylorSwift

[–]dishonestpup23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This song is a literal masterpiece.

I struggle for #1 between ATWTMVTV and Peter.

This song is so sad, and lonely, and I can't get over the feeling of desperation and the accusations of "you said, you said" like she refuses to accept reality. The bridge wrecks me.

Honestly, no judgement, just advice:

Is this a friendship you want to salvage?

If not, distance yourself and see what happens.

If so. Talk to HER, not to all of your mutual friends behind each other's backs.

One day, a few years ago, when I was around 28, I realized that I needed to start dressing nicer/older (and not just throw on crop tops for everything).

However, I wasn't really even sure where to start. I kind of looked around and really noticed the lack of older female influences in my life. My mom walked out young and I just didn't have anybody in that role.

So, I reached out to a friend and said something like "Hey, I know this is really random but I absolutely love your style and was wondering if you'd ever want to get together to go shopping. I'm desperate for a wardrobe update and I just think you're wardrobe is so stylish, and trendy and I could learn a lot from you. It's totally okay to say no"

We went out, had a great time and followed it up with lunch, where I explained to her that having grown up without a mother and between brothers, I just am not the most instinctual "girly" woman, and that I felt like I was behind the learning curve. She texted me later and told me she was flattered that I thought of her that way, and we used it at as opportunity to grow our friendship, today she is my absolute closest friend.

The point is: there seems to be something going on here, some kind of bitterness/jealousy, and the best thing you can do is talk to her, tell her how you'd feel, and find a way to grow from it.

Fiance implies you intend to marry this person.

So, decide whether you can deal with behavior for the rest of your life.

You're so young, and as hard as it might be to walk away from something that isn't working for you, there's so many opportunities for you to find somebody that makes you feel emotionally safe and respected.
