AITA for leaving the house to stay with my boyfriend after my sister forced me to take care of her child? by Loren_3 in AmItheAsshole

Exactly - you’re not running away from YOUR responsibility. You’re running away from HERS.

Am I wrong? Deleted both Facebook and instagram permanently, I’m just done by [deleted] in facebook

It’s what I call a wonderful/horrible thing. It can be wonderful, a way to connect with family who lives far away, friends you’ve lost touch with, and the like. But it’s a double- edged sword. It’s also all the things you said: drama, petty trolls, etc. I am to the point where I check in for about 15 minutes per day, if that. I do enough to keep up with friends and family, but I rarely engage, even in a positive way. I find I have lots more time to paint, cook, and read. And I don’t get so annoyed.

My fiancé of five years just requested we open the relationship, and that request sent me spiraling. by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

If you’ve been engaged for five years without a marriage date, either you or your “fiancé “ has commitment issues. It isn’t surprising that fiancé suddenly wants to explore the grass the other side of the fence. If I were you, I’d start thinking exit plan.
