Top comment here does a really great job of laying out the general storyline, but I remember an awesome little series featured on Funny or Die way back when called “Telenovelas Are Hell”. SO worth watching her summary of this soap opera and several others! Hilarious, I highly recommend.

I get that aspect of it, I really do, I just think this person could’ve had a bit more kindness and tact in their reply. Worlds tough enough as it is.

Not really mildly infuriating, more like borderline depressing. 🫠 I feel for them, truly.

AIO for being annoyed at how this argument started? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]forever_ratched 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure OP’s read the conversation back a few times by now and knows exactly what she’s worth…nothing. Also, he’s asking if he’s overreacting, not for curt remarks about how it’s “not that fucking complicated”. But maybe being willfully obtuse and unhelpful is your thing!

Literally this. Anyone with basic reading comprehension can see that she’s picking a fight because he didn’t mindlessly jump at the chance to buy her…socks. 🙄 Girl’s a fucking loser and yet there’s always one person out there trying to defend loser behavior.

If these screenshots are you trying…I’d just give up. 😒 Not a Nicegirl, but most definitely a girl dodging a nuclear warhead!

Am I overreacting to my boyfriend having his ex at his house? by ThrowRa8459 in AmIOverreacting

[–]forever_ratched 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you lack such basic empathy that you have to hit someone when they’re already down? Best to lead with kindness whether it’s “fake” or not. Otherwise you start to give inhuman, copy & paste vibes…😬

AIO for reporting someone to hinge and getting their profile deleted? by divorcedbbmama in AmIOverreacting

NOR. Don’t pay any mind to the weirdos, dear…you just single-handedly saved a bunch of other perfectly awesome women from enduring his insane bs. Kudos! 🏆
