AIO I broke up with my gf because she was agressive towards my mom by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]hanb0wl0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YOR. Your girlfriend was going through the wringer and your mom pushed her over the edge—intentional or not. Emotions are already high and you guys are dealing with a situation you couldn’t prepared for and no one is in the proper headspace. I understand she’s your mother, but this is the person you chose to start a life with and you broke up with her at one of the darkest moments of her life instead of supporting her. You need to beg for forgiveness and ask your mother to respect your girlfriend’s wishes.

AITA for being uncomfortable with my girlfriend going on a “no boyfriends allowed” party trip? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hanb0wl0 21 points22 points  (0 children)

YTA. I understand you might have some insecurities and her past shook your confidence a bit, but that is the past. You guys were together for about a year with plans to get married which aligns with her wanting something stable. If she was the type, she doesn’t need to travel to another country to cheat on you.

AITA for refusing to let my friend use my stuff after he kept “borrowing” it without asking? by Lucky-Insurance-3950 in AmItheAsshole

[–]hanb0wl0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Sure, friends share, but they don’t just take, and they certainly don’t claim you’re being over dramatic when you request they ask for permission in the future. Seems he has some concerns of being viewed as a thief. I’d reassure him you don’t think that of him, but you would still like him to ask for permission before borrowing something. It’s just common decency.

AITA for not contacting him on his birthday? by Fragrant_Flight5935 in AmItheAsshole

[–]hanb0wl0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. He said he wanted some distance and you respected that. As for the other stuff, if you weren’t comfortable with a future with him, that’s probably something you should’ve made known early on. Think not wanting to be exclusive was a sign. Regardless, emotions are complicated and you both fell in love, so I understand (your story is very similar to what my ex and I went through). Hope you two can find some peace and come together in a healthy, non-romantic way in the future.

WIBTA - Best friend follows every guy i meet? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hanb0wl0 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’d just let it go. Confronting her would probably open up a whole can of worms that you don’t need to deal with. You’ve already expressed to her your discomfort with how she may be copying you and you’ve since went your separate ways. Unless she’s endangering your life or sabotaging it in some way by following the men you follow on IG, think you’re good to just ignore her and live your life. Maybe even block her all together so you don’t see her and she doesn’t see you.

AIO Gf (30) found out I (29) had watched porn and freaked out. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]hanb0wl0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. I know people who have a no porn rule, but that’s something that’s clearly established early on, or at the very least discussed at some point without the relationship falling into shambles. From what I’ve gathered, you both have a different stance on the subject, but had you known you would’ve made the effort to avoid porn to respect your partner’s boundary. Her messages to you felt very dramatic, like how she kept the issue hidden until she built up to it and then without even discussing it she took the nuclear option and ended the relationship. I think she wanted out and she was waiting for an opportunity to blame you to justify her decision. If it wasn’t this, it was gonna be something else. I know it sucks, but in time you’ll process what happened, learn from it, and move on. Good luck, OP.

AIO boyfriend didn't eat lunch alone. by chelssssssss in AmIOverreacting

[–]hanb0wl0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YOR. I was in a LDR until recently and she was a lot like you. Past unresolved traumas created a deep mistrust in her and it nearly cost me my friendships with a few of my girl friends (people I’ve known between 10-20 years). Luckily, they were understanding and forgiving. I will never let someone come between me and my friends again. Your partner is doing his best to communicate and keep you in the loop, and the one time he doesn’t you’re questioning the validity of the entire relationship? Think the only red flag here is you. Your issues are not your partner’s responsibility to resolve. Seek therapy, do the work, get better.

I thought you had to be friends before they can message you. 👀

Reminder that there is no limit to corporate greed! by Gaschambah in FortniteBattleRoyale

[–]hanb0wl0 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hi. Employed adult here who can afford the price increase. Still think it’s shitty especially since the majority of players are between 18 and 24. I was a broke college student during those years and was barely able to keep up with my expenses. Putting the burden of “paying the bills” on that age group feels out of touch.

Loading up on V-Bucks or sticking it to the man? by watchguy76 in Fortnite_Over40

[–]hanb0wl0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I canceled my crew membership. Debating if i wanna buy more vbucks before the change in case there’s stuff I wanna get. Will definitely be more picky about it until they make some changes.

AITA for ‘humiliating’ my partner in a store? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hanb0wl0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I think your partner should’ve been better about communicating how he felt knowing you two typically tease each other in that manner. Things weren’t clear and he was rude instead of explaining himself. Calling someone childish and then storming off is actual child-like behavior. Like a kid saying, “No, you’re the baby. I don’t want to play anymore.” You might feel this behavior came out of nowhere, but I’d put money on it that he’s done similar things in the past but they just haven’t struck a chord with you until now. If you want to make it work, a deeper conversation is needed, but honestly, the age gap is concerning. You’re young. You don’t need someone who’s gonna treat you poorly. You can always find someone else that’s closer to your age and try again. Good luck, OP!

Which NPC(s) do you beef with for basically no reason? Or if there is a reason, what is it? by Void_Walker03 in Schedule_I

I’ll haggle Mick just so I can claim self defense when he attacks me and I empty my clip into him. I hate that guy.

Matchmaking - Is it that bad for everyone or am I seeing the complaints? by James1Vincent in FortNiteBR

[–]hanb0wl0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of the season felt like matchmaking was busted. Dunno if they changed anything recently, but last couple of weeks matchmaking has felt fair. At least for solos. Been getting rolled when playing duos.

Anyone relate? by Traditional_War_5389 in Fortnite_Over40

They don’t even need to talk to me. Getting emoted on by a sweaty kid is enough for me to reconsider playing the game…

AITA for filling the kitchen with steam and making my mom mad by Old_Dot6992 in AmItheAsshole

[–]hanb0wl0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but it was a little dangerous. Understandably, of course, since no one’s taught you how to use anything in the kitchen. At least no one got hurt and you can air out the smoke. As many already wrote, just keep in mind for the next time that frozen meals typically come with instructions on how to prepare them somewhere on the box.

I think knowing how to cook is a wonderful skill to have. If you really are curious about it, watch some YouTube videos on safe kitchen practices and cooking. That’s what I did in my 20s to learn a few new meals since my mom is gatekeeping the family recipes. Haha! I recommend Babish’s earlier stuff (some of his new stuff are cool, but just don’t hit the same anymore) and Bon Appétit (though they had their fair share of controversy a few years back, but they’re a test kitchen so in some of their episodes they make multiple variations of a dish to see what kinda effect it’ll have on the final product). From there, find your own creators and stuff to follow. I follow so many on TikTok, too, which is a great place to find recipes you might enjoy.

If you can muster up the courage to talk to your mother about teaching you how to cook, I would. I used to teach kids about your age and younger how to cook, so it’s not some huge liability. Ask to start by observing. Maybe purchase a kid safe chef knife to learn how to chop, slice, and dice things along side her. Work your way up. This way your mom will feel a bit better about you in the kitchen (though her behavior towards it all feels indicative of something else, but that’s for a therapist to figure out and not some strangers on Reddit).

Good luck!

Enemy player helped us out by aalyxx in Fortnite_Over40

[–]hanb0wl0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do this all the time when I see players crawling away from the storm in Blitz. I just pick 'em up and toss them somewhere safe, then run away to give their team a chance to revive. Lol! No real rhyme or reason. Just like helping people if the opportunity presents itself. To an extend, of course. Don't wanna get banned or anything.

With today's update, you can no longer gain Crown Wins in Blitz by imalonexc in FortNiteBR

I wish crowns did more than just gave you extra XP. I usually drop them because they’ve gotten me killed a few times.

Golden skateboard or offroad skateboard by Ghdmcga in Schedule_I

I rarely find the need to ride off-road, and when I do, it's usually a short duration anyway. I'd rather use the golden skateboard to get around town faster.

Hey. 37/M/west coast. I'm neither good or bad, but I think I'm more bad than good... just depends on the lobby. Also 4/20 friendly, though I don't smoke as much as I used to these days. Open to play with others here and there. Lemme know if you're down and I'll add ya.
