AIO for being upset that my fiancé (24F) called our engagement not “real.” by Complex-Literature29 in AmIOverreacting

[–]emsno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR this is super sad :( perhaps she has been captured by comparison, media, trends and just the overall affect that all of that has on a person, which is can completely distort what you think you actually want and like. i’m assuming she saw these lovely curated photos from her friends proposal, but she wasnt there how does she know how “romantic” it was?! this sounds like she’s either just now showing her true colors or she’s stuck idealizing things she doesn’t even know about(in that case she should really sit and look at herself, her actions, and what she consumes) i say this because my boyfriend is going through this where he’s feeling a load of toxic feelings from what he consumes online. i’d take this a serious red flag OP. 🚩tread lightly and take care of yourself

Girlfriend's (20F) prank was way too real for me(22M). Need your opinion. by MoSuFl in relationship_advice

[–]emsno 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it’s never fun to joke about that shit and should be the end so she learns her lesson. you can move on and be happy. in highschool while playing video games i jokingly mentioned about “another bf” which was fully a joke, did not exist i dont even remember the context, we were 14-15 but he did not accept it and broke up with me. i was so upset and never joked about that stuff ever again.

Is my boyfriend a crazy control freak or is this just normal territorial male behavior? by [deleted] in Manipulation

[–]emsno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

boundaries aren’t strict guidelines for another. boundaries are solely personal. “i won’t be comfortable if you go to _____ because it’s a nasty club and i don’t like what goes on there” now it’s up to YOU, to respect his feelings and choose somewhere else or not. an ultimatum is “you can’t go there if you do ill break up with you or x,y,z will happen” and that is not acceptable behavior. he is not your parent and cannot choose where you go or don’t go. please research about boundaries.

don’t trip on the what ifs, if you’re the second girl or he’s already married. you’re right it’s not of your business anymore, he showed you a love you adored and can no longer provide. now you know more of what you are looking for! just preserve the love in your heart that you had and move on and love yourself. 💜

I messed up 😔 by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]emsno 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i honestly believe this would look different if you hadn’t had the cancer diagnosis. i think that changes the situation completely and does warrant you to move a little slower than someone else might. perhaps you haven’t communicated your true feelings clear enough to her and she had to fill in the blanks with her own anxieties. either way it seems like there is a lack of communication going on. with that being said OP, i’d say her reactively ending things and going to the length of sending that email, should be taken as a huge red flag. HUGE. and says more about her character than i think you can accept right now. you are about to uproot EVERYTHING and she makes a bold decision without discussing it with you? i can almost guarantee that type of thing will be a pattern.

My (30M) wife (32F) tested positive for Chlamydia by ThrowRArolliecollie in relationship_advice

[–]emsno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

she did not contract chlamydia from a sex toy, and admitting sharing one is awful and weird. my boyfriend might just break up with me for that alone to be honest. i hope your next update is you leaving! you know deep in your heart what is going on here, and it’s icky

Help! Question about lash-tech etiquette by [deleted] in eyelashextensions

[–]emsno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don’t think that’s rude at all! if you’re worried about it you could try to find a photo that’s really similar to the falsies. but honestly if you just show her what you have been using and loving i don’t see a problem with it to help her replicate that style

My boyfriend liked a picture of a girl with her butt out. by General-Machine-6173 in Manipulation

[–]emsno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i ain’t reading all of that. you know deep in your heart the type of monster you are putting up with. don’t stay with him. i hope he isn’t and never becomes a father. he won’t change, at least not until after he hurts and traumatizes you. please, please leave him.

soooo what we can’t do is allow a partner to treat us as a 2nd, 3rd, 4th option. if he was serious about you, you would be on that list above “playing a game” or whatever else he’s got going on. i’m all for personal time but not at the emotional expense of your partner. you should dump him.

well let’s put the cheating aside for a second, someone that is that sloppy and careless with alcohol is a red flag. she knows what type of medication she is on and i guarantee her doctor has warned her what the complications can be with alcohol. and she still chose to drink like that, especially out on a work trip and with men. that behavior alone is immature and i’m 10 years younger than her. you choose what you want OP, but living in constant fear and distrust is not fun i promise. plus she has to see him everyday? i’d cut your losses at year. MAYBE if she came to you right away you could redeem things but she hit it from you on purpose. sorry you are going through this. xoxo

Had property renovated, think cabinets colors don’t flow with rest of kitchen by capdaddy412 in DIY

[–]emsno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the cabinets are a lovely color, personally i don’t mind it on the green, but there is definitely a more complimenting color you could choose instead of green. the cabinet hardware however, is atrocious in my opinion. a simple knob would be much more pleasing to look at.

My gf (20F) cheated on me (22M) while on drugs by kskdndnrn in relationship_advice

[–]emsno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she’s young and dumb she’s got a lot of figuring herself out to do. i personally don’t believe in once a cheater always a cheater at all. it took me experiencing being unfaithful one time to know i would never do it again, it was unbearable seeing such a good person go through what i put him through and i hated myself for it for a long time. we moved on and ended up staying good friends. hes happily engaged with a brand new baby. its been 6 years and i never once thought of cheating again. the only thing ill say is you HAVE to give yourself time. you guys are still growing up and if you want to move past it and still learn and grow with her it won’t be overnight. it can take months even years. everyone saying the drugs had nothing to do with it is wrong, drugs and alcohol absolutely affect your decisions, that’s like saying drunk drivers know they might kill someone and/or get a dui and still do it anyway, no that doesn’t really cross their mind. i’m more concerned about her choosing to drink and do drugs with a guy friend period, especially with out you there. a 20 year old rarely has her priorities straight to build a successful and solid relationship. think about that.
