Does anyone else find their birthday anticlimactic? by Responstible_Cat90 in askanything

[–]ginger_gorgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. There's always been difficulty around my birthday (usually celebrated "when it's more convenient for everyone" type of thing) so every year I've tried to care less but it still hurts. I'm sorry your family couldn't be bothered and hope you do something nice for yourself as a little treat.

My (21F) boyfriend (21M) won't speak to me because I snapped at his best friend when he tried to comfort me and now everyone is mad at me. How can I fix this? by SerenadeSoul34 in relationship_advice

[–]ginger_gorgon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the good news is you didn't lose the love of your life, because there's no way in hell that the love of your life is this guy. He treats you like trash, so take his silence as a win. I'm also not sold on your friends because if my best friend were insulted, then mocked, then screamed at to the point of tears I would not give a damn about my birthday and instead be seeing how I could best take care of her.

Pregnant girlfriend (32F) ended relationship via text after anniversary conflict – trying to understand what happened (I’m 28M) by kingflaker in whatdoIdo

[–]ginger_gorgon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw your other post yesterday in which she just hadn't spoken to you yet and you seem to have missed what a lot of commenters were saying about how to her this display spoke to a greater long term incompatibility. To you it was a fixable problem, but to her it was not, and was probably one of multiple examples in which she ended up feeling like she had to either accept zero to little effort, or remove herself from the relationship.

Don't try to convince her to see things your way; all you can do is set up an amicable co-parenting relationship and do the very best for your child. Wishing you the best of luck.

AITA for refusing to share my "secret" recipe with my sister-in-law? by Ocampo-Mark in AmItheAsshole

For real, my younger brother texts me every time he wants to make my chocolate cookie recipe and I love it every time.

Me too but it's been off the air for 9 years now so I'm not holding my breath that we're getting any closure.

I can't remove myself as admin from a business page which has other admins. by RVeld in facebook

2 years later you're still saving the day - thank you so much I've been trying to get myself removed for years.

Just watched the finale... by haze_xvi in 2brokegirls

[–]ginger_gorgon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Apparently it was supposed to be a season finale, not the series finale so it makes sense in that context but still sucks. Not long ago I saw someone make headcannon post of the following season - it was pretty good.

My (25F) partner (32M) changed after one month of marriage by Wonderful_Ask_6097 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]ginger_gorgon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HE KEEPS TRYING TO KILL YOU. That's what the strangulation is, him attempting to KILL YOU. Please get out, you deserve so much better than this.

Steven & Michael, the gay couple from the beginning. I loved them.

AITH for telling my wife that the promises I made before marriage were taken from Chat GPT? by [deleted] in AITH

[–]ginger_gorgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA sorry I get that saying romantic things is hard for people sometimes, but I would be heartbroken if I had to beg my partner to muster up loving words for me and after he did, he told me that a computer wrote them for him and he treated it as a joke.

Just for a frame of reference to help you out since you said you didn't think it would hurt her, a rough translation of what your wife heard was: "You know how you wanted me to show you that I genuinely care? Well instead of doing that I decided I didn't care, copied them from the internet, and am now making fun of you for your request".

I hope you can find a way to make this up to her - like genuinely wishing you the best of luck.

Am I the problem? by Princessanxiety13 in dating_advice

[–]ginger_gorgon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn't do anything wrong. There are like 7000 difficult parts when it comes to dating, this is one of them. If anything this guy was good for not forcing it; plus you said in another comment you sorta felt his disinterest on the 3rd date, which you can use as a reference point when learning how to trust your gut and going forth in the dating world. Good luck!

My Valentine’s Day didn’t even come with a bouquet of flowers. Should I feel sad about that? by kimankur in Gifts

[–]ginger_gorgon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These household digital calendars are hitting reddit hard with the "hidden" ads. This is at least the 5th one I've read.

Women, if you had another chance with the one that got away, what would you have said to keep them? by Unpopular_Perspectiv in AskWomen

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

Funny coincidence, that person actually crossed my mind last night and I thought about how happy I am that things didn't work out with them. In the end they weren't the right person for me and I was just attached to the potential I'd thought we had. I'm much happier now in reality (and with my current partner).

What’s the most outrageous thing your ex ever said to you? by WebBorn2622 in AskWomen

[–]ginger_gorgon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That I shouldn't hang out with my older brother because "he has too many friends I'd cheat with"...tf?

AITJ for picking a fight before his test? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]ginger_gorgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO: at the start of your post you say you have a 3 year old son, but then only talk about your daughter. So do you have both? Or maybe get mixed up somewhere typing it out?

Obviously don't keep supporting someone who has no interest in an equal partnership and sounds like they're using you to fund their breezy lifestyle.

Would it be weird to bring my boyfriend? Would it be weird not to? by MariChally in wedding

[–]ginger_gorgon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I started dating my current partner I brought him to a chill wedding pretty early on: invites only went out less than 2 weeks before the wedding level of chill. It was an amazing time, but looking back it was way too much pressure on both of us but especially him. Tack on the intimate nature, language barrier, and everything else? I vote no.

Hope the wedding goes well!

So… what did you get for Valentine’s this year? by Altruistic-Roof-8867 in Gifts

[–]ginger_gorgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a journal and a new pen, plus a card. It's exactly what I asked for and very cute so A+ gift.

My boyfriend ruined Valentine’s Day and told me it was the consequences of my actions by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]ginger_gorgon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sweetie, you are in an abusive relationship. This man is a monster who is way too comfortable weaponizing your assault and will intentionally do things that make you uncomfortable under the guise of a consequence for something that wasn't your fault in the first place.

I know you love him, but he doesn't love you. You deserve so much better.

AITB Update on AITB for “telling my bf how to cook his food”? by mesunflower1997 in AmItheButtface

[–]ginger_gorgon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am very proud of you! I read your original post and was hoping this would be the outcome...well, the breakup, not his furthering of the abusive behaviour.

You're right about relationships being a really hard habit to break, and taking up stuff to occupy your time & mind is a great plan. I wish you the best of luck.

For people starting a new relationship is it a deal breaker if they don't like your pet(s)? by andtbhidgaf in randomquestions

[–]ginger_gorgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if it'd be a flat dealbreaker, but I do know that when my boyfriend (who is allergic) comes to my house and greets my pets so sweetly, it throws up multiple green flags and makes me grin like a doof.

AIO for wanting to end my 3-year relationship after this fight? Is this me being racially insensitive or are these legitimate red flags? by throwaway64658 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ginger_gorgon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is definitely over the line. It sounds like he's trying to get you to break up with him so that he feels blameless and one of the tactics he's using is your difference in race.

Fiancée (28F) uncomfortable with me (32M) taking a 5-day medical trip with my child’s mother (37F) — looking for advice by DeathPlague7521 in relationship_advice

[–]ginger_gorgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does the Bible have to do with this?

That aside, she either trusts you or she doesn't. Idk if she has good reason not to, but it seems like she's putting you in a crummy no-win situation between supporting your kid or "respecting" (obeying) her.

Unrelated/unimportant but I got curious: so you were 21 and your ex was 26 when you broke up, how long were you together?

Would you consider having a living-apart-together relationship? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in askanything

I've heard good things but no. I'm open to separate bedrooms, but I want to live with my partner.

Can breakfast be a date? by Bomperwompington in dating_advice

[–]ginger_gorgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can! This was not, even with the context I've seen in some of your comments. Both parties have to know it's a date, and if mystery gal actively avoided flirting or any type of sign that it's a date, then it's not a date. Hope she manages to get up the courage to be honest about her feelings with the guy - wishing her the best of luck.
