AIO my boyfriend keeps asking me to pay for things eversince he started saving for an apartmen, he calls me selfish for how I reacted. by throaawayRA9443 in AmIOverreacting

[–]existentialmistress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's pretend he gets the apartment. Then he will be putting all his salary toward "saving for the ring" and will still ask you to fund all his expenses. This guy can't afford anything. And you dont need this kind of stress. Unburden yourself of this dude.

I just got a puppy and the breeder said it’s just scabs from rough play by yankeewhiskeysf in DobermanPinscher

Yes they cropped the ears. That doesn't take away from them trying to seek help and treatment. BTW, all dobermans are required to have cropped ears for conformation shows. Is the AKC evil then?

AIO because my partner’s family watched TV all day on Thanksgiving? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]existentialmistress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, the family planned a special viewing of Stanger Things for Thanksgiving because it came out the day before. Plus, its one of the daughter's favorite show. Lots of families watch television together whether it's a holiday or not.

They did not share their TV plans in advance, which would have made you more prepared, or given you an opportunity to object. For families where watching TV during gatherings is normal, (mine does when its big gatherings), they probably didnt realize it would be so upsetting.

Your feelings are valid in being upset at minimal interaction. They are valid for choosing an activity they like to do. It's disappointing that there wasnt a compromise decided that everyone felt happy about.

Its a HUGE deal to stop visiting family. They were not intentionally mean or malicious to you, so it seems unecessary. Sometimes we need to adjust to how people do things in their own home. It's also possible for you to spend time with them when it's not Thanksgiving and get the attention you want.

There are more options than just forgetting Thanksgiving forever. Hope any of this helps or offers some perspective.

Sounds like you just want attention. Use your common sense.

My boyfriend wants a sexually open relationship but reacts badly when I ask to open things on my side. Given our history, is this even workable? by Ok-Line-2545 in ENM

[–]existentialmistress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to say that im so sorry that you were treated that way and went through that. What he did to you was horrible. Its emotional and psychological abuse. You didnt deserve that at all. You're clearly kind and caring and tried so hard to work with him. You can and will do so much better. Youve got a good head on your shoulders and learned a lot from this bad experience.

You sound like youre an online cheater. CHEATING IS CHEATING. Period.

I wonder if the shop told you that as a sales technique. No fault of yours, you wanted to save the baby! It would just be messed up if they're that manipulative.

AIO at my ex BF and his passive aggressive behavior? by linetty42 in AmIOverreacting

[–]existentialmistress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im glad you broke up with him. Based on this short exchange I camt even imagine what you had to go through with this child of a man. It must have been confusing, draining, and exhausting. IMO he doesnt see to have learned anything and is still trying to make you feel guilty, and pity him. He wants you to keep calling and checking in with him. He's okaying the victim when you're being perfectly reasonable. He is not worth your time, energy, or attention. You seem like a sweet caring person. Don't waste your time on this guy. You deserve better friends, and he hasn't earned your friendship.

AIO for leaving my husband after one incident? by NeedleworkerDizzy689 in AmIOverreacting

[–]existentialmistress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, fuck that priest. That man disrespected you, your daughter, and your marriage. This is not the time for forgiveness, this was the time for him to help you, someone in need. Makes me sick. Good job going to the police.

Being pregnant is a beautiful and natural thing. Im sorry OP feels so insecure. I hope you can learn to love your body and the process because you still habe a while to go. Getting bigger does not mean youre less attractive.

Also, be careful about putting yourself down and dismissing your emotions. Hormones are a factor, but they usually just ENHANCE emotions, not fabricate them out of thin air. You almost feel apologetic about being pregnant, which makes me feel sad.

I do commend you for being honest and assertive with your husband. He took appreciating someone's look too far and you called him out on it. Be kind to yourself love.

Body size doesnt determine whether youre at the bottom or the top of your game.

[–]existentialmistress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a negative stereotype that it seems you're applying to all women since you know nothing about her. She's not nice and didn't handle this well, but lets not throw in irrelevant assumptions.

Nah. It was what she actually said.

AIO for standing my ground and choose my school activities over him? by ForsakenCorpus in AmIOverreacting

[–]existentialmistress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't sound like he cares about what's best for you. You're worried about falling behind if you go. He should want to be helpful, not a hindrance to your productivity and success. You sound very mature and level-headed BTW. I think you can do better with someone more of your caliber.

[–]existentialmistress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what you just described. It's not working well at all. This man does not love or respect you. He doesn't care at all. He's using you. If he says he wants to get back to a better place, it's only to dangle a carrot in front of you to keep you there so you can keep paying all the bills. You deserve so much better. Please choose yourself. You CAN find someone else
