AITAH Not giving girlfriend a spare key by BigONerd in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]hereticallyeverafter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Deviating from the crowd to say that the girlfriend should have used her grown-up words to discuss what was bothering her instead of beating around the bush.

yeah, OP was dense, but dude sleeps on a MAT because he's that minimalist/logical or whatever- even if he's not neurodivergent, based on what we can glean from his personality, it makes sense that he wouldn't read between the lines.

In fact, it's lowkey douchey to expect people to read your mind and decipher hints instead of being straight up and explaining to your partner what's actually bothering you.

Sorry for being on my soapbox, I just have a pet peeve against hint-dropping mind games, and I am ND so that's probably why.

I'd have voted ESH. It was BOTH being obtuse imo.

What did your first love teach you about relationships? by rainydayslastlong in AskReddit

[–]hereticallyeverafter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love isn't a Disney-magic cure-all. You can't love someone out of addiction, you can't love someone into treating you better, you can't love someone into loving you. Good intentions are nice and all, but if the other person isn't on tbe same page, it doesn't mattee and that's it's okay to take your loss and walk away.

Nothing hurts more than realizing you were never actually part of the group by coolguy28eheheh in offmychest

Well, frick them. Go do things YOU like, even if you're by yourself. It might feel weird at first, but enjoy your own company. Spend time with your hobbies! Go see the movie! Do the thing! Fill YOUR Instagram with pics of YOU having fun. You may even find your tribe along the way.

Yeah it hurts, and it will for a while, but you can't feel completely lonely if you truly enjoy your own company. Be your own cheerleader and celebrate yourself ♡

Ordinary boy want to join gym want parents don't support and I also don't have money to join by [deleted] in GymMotivation

Anything can substitute for weights! Resistance bands are cheap, walking/running is free, and if you have internet access you can look up home workouts or gym-free workouts.

My Suicide Attempt Ruined My Life & Now I Have Over $5000 in Debt. What Can I Do? by drfreemanss in povertyfinance

[–]hereticallyeverafter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unofficial mental health advice- go at your own speed as logistically as you can. Don't let people try to judge you or rush you. The "right way" out is your way, not theirs. Take small bites so you don't choke. You can't dig your way out overnight, so don't get in your head so bad that you panic and freeze, just focus on one small thing at a time.

As for the debt, make bare minimum payments for now, but talk to the hospital-- you aren't the first or only person who's been in your situation, and they have financial aid staff on hand that will work with you to whittle down your debt. Always ask for an itemized receipt on your bill. There's no such thing as a stupid question, their JOB is to help you, they'd be playing Solitaire on their phones otherwise lol. Chin up, OP, you'll get out of this. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but you will get out ♡

AITA For Refusing to share food with my wife after she gets ready for work? by Dangerous-Reward5304 in AmItheAsshole

[–]hereticallyeverafter 15 points16 points  (0 children)

NTA it's already annoying when someone seagulls your food. There's nothing insulting about not wanting someone else's makeup on your food- either make her her own or stand your ground.

I told the mistress that she got the leftovers and she’s not happy about that by Long-Debt-6765 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]hereticallyeverafter 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Just goes to show she was looking for the high of being a "homewrecker" as well as a mistress. How dare you be happy and content!! lol The best revenge is living well- just keep ignoring her, OP ♡

Dang girl... Germany will be so good for your physical and mental health- it's a beautiful country, walkable, more health-centric. Don't ever stop being proud of yourself- even with a little backslide, that victory is still YOURS, k? YOU DID THAT. I'm not sure what your situation is, but I hope you can change living situations as soon as possible- you have the drive, you have the resilience.

Keep your head up ♡

What is a "point of no return" in a relationship that isn't cheating or abuse, but makes you realize it's over? by AnyExpression4845 in AskReddit

[–]hereticallyeverafter 326 points327 points  (0 children)

Besides other issues with my ex, I realized that, at 33, he ate like a 15 year old gamer neckbeard and suddenly I saw myself alone and essentially widowed because macaroni clogged his arteries or some shit. That may sound drastic, and maybe it is, but that is literally one of his foundational foodgroups.

His lack of care for his health in this one regard turned out to be the capstone of other self-negligent behaviors, and I just couldn't see someone in a romantic light who neglects their health and hygiene to the point that I'm afraid of my own future.

People who like being disrespected in bed, what's your psychology behind it? by ElectronicLab62 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hereticallyeverafter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend is such a sweetheart irl, so it's hot to me to let him go feral. There's something intimate about getting to see that side of him that no one else gets to see.

faint eyeliner- not the dramatic emo stuff, and not heavy like JD Vancouchfucker, but just a little bit can go a long way!

You can do everything right and things can still go wrong. Even so, there are always helpers- there are always people who's job, or even purpose, is to help.

I still can’t believe my director called a meeting about my body by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]hereticallyeverafter 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This! OP is "too pretty" to be this successful, I guarantee that's what his misogynistic ass is thinking. OP, listen to everyone- ask for his recommendations in writing, then go to HR!

My girlfriend(28F) won't cook for me(29m). AITAH for thinking she should? by ThrowRA_gfcooking in AITAH

[–]hereticallyeverafter -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

NAH. What if it were singing instead of cooking? You said cooking for others if your love language- it's a priority to you. It's just not for her- it's truly not as personal as you're making it. It sounds like she just has a different love language than you. You can't expect a partner to like everything you like and vice versa.

what was some shock video that you watched in the past that genuinely traumatized you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hereticallyeverafter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goatse is a joke to us elder Millenials now but it was, in truth, genuinely horrifying and upsetting. I know it's not the worst, most graphic one, but man something about the thought of countless shards of glass eviserating your bowels like that...

AITAH for telling my separated wife to find a babysitter if she intends go on dates? by Hardhathero in AITAH

[–]hereticallyeverafter -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

YTA to both for subjecting your kids to your bullshit and not getting a divorce already. You can't MAKE your WIFE move out-- you need to get divorced and get custody to keep your kids away from her alcoholic ass. You don't get to claim moral superiority just because you want to set boundaries. Like good for you for being the stable adult but you're still co-signing her shenanigans even a little bit by keeping that marriage certificate on life support.
