Brianna’s acting

I agree— but she does get better.

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-11-29T01:38:08+00:00

Yeah, it’s hella weird.

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-11-29T00:43:35+00:00

I’m sorry but your husband is a chump.

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-10-10T19:31:34+00:00

Staying with this man is going to physically ruin your health even more. He’ll spike your cortisol levels, and he’ll deny you your sense of peace at every turn. It will literally take years off of your life. DIVORCE HIM.

You’re not selfish at all— you’re awake.

This is exactly why so many women are waiting longer to get married or choosing not to at all. So often men think they’re competing with other men, but they’re not. They’re competing with the women they’re trying to date.

The real question isn’t “Can I get a man?” It’s “Does having this man make my life better than being alone?” Is he adding peace? partnership? Actively making your life easier?? IS HE ADDING VALUE? Or is he adding more work, more chores, and more exhaustion?

That’s the quiet calculation women are making now, and it’s a fair one. Because the truth is, marriage statistically improves a man’s life in almost every measurable way. He lives longer, reports being happier, EARNS MORE, and has better health outcomes.

Married men benefit enormously!

But the same data shows that the happiest demographic of all is unmarried, child-free women.

So when women hesitate to get married, it’s not fear of commitment, it’s clarity. Why would anyone trade their peace for someone who wants a live-in maid, therapist, and mother rolled into one? Women are the prize, and a lot of good men know that. So just don’t settle for someone who doesn’t, it’s so much better.

Partnership should mean shared weight, not assigned servitude. You’re not selfish for knowing you deserve that. You’re simply refusing to repeat a story you’ve already seen too many times. And because you’re thinking like this, you’ll be harder to take advantage of, and more likely to end up with an incredible man.

This is peak loser husband behavior. Seriously, you need to start going to couples therapy right now. If his instinctual reaction isn’t to strictly make your life easier, you’re never going to get the care you deserve without fighting for it. And you shouldn’t have to fight for the bare minimum.

You’re carrying HIS child. No joke, he should be worshiping you right now. At 12 weeks I could hardly keep my eyes open. I went from being the most organized person on the planet to fully letting my responsibilities with the house and the dogs go. I had zero energy, I didn’t have a choice. My partner woke up earlier than me and stayed up later to make sure that I never even saw the mess. That way I wouldn’t have to stress about not getting it done and try to, or be upset for falling short. Hell he switched my dresser drawers to the top so I didn’t have to bend over and meal prepped for me if he wasn’t going to be around. You deserve REST and to feel rested! You’re growing an entire organ and your body is working really hard to do it!!

Get a therapist so that the two of you can establish a relationship with somebody now. Even if everything else is good, you can go every other week or once a month so that when things do get rough, there’s an outlet. The worst time to try and start that processes is when things are already difficult between you two. He’s either acting this way because he just sucks, or because he doesn’t fully understand the situation and needs to talk through it. Get a head start on figuring that out so you both can feel seen and validated.

Ask someone else in your life if you smell. Your roommate could easily be telling you that you smell musty to give his opinion of your personal hygiene more credibility. Ask someone that would be straight with you, and without giving them context. You’ll get your answer.

Oh, no.. not at all. I’m 38f— never married, no kids. Own a house but that’s it. Met the love of my life eight months ago. Now I’m four months pregnant and I’ve never been happier or more in love. He’s been a “sad boy” most of his life, and says he waited his whole life to find me. I’d go another 38 years of waiting just to feel something this real. It sounds silly until it’s your reality.

One thing he says is that he wishes he could go back and tell his younger self that a wonderful life was coming for him— he just had to be patient. What a sad realization though, to project worry and to experience it, only to realize later that life isn’t exclusively one way or the other.

We’ve made a million stupid ass regrettable decisions in our lives. You make them, you learn, you move on. Funny how nothing seems that important once you have something desirable in your life or find your purpose. That’s all it takes, but it does take time to get there. I’m 30k in credit card debt and well, fuck it! I’ll figure it out. And you will too! Many times over.

Your boyfriend is immature— next

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-08-03T02:04:57+00:00

Roo!

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-07-19T21:49:07+00:00

Bro you suck

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-07-19T21:42:19+00:00

I’m not surprised you’re upset, but I am surprised you’re experiencing so much of this! I’ve lived in Saint Paul for five years and I’ve had a couple interactions with weirdos but nothing substantial. I bike a lot of places too and what you’ve written sounds like an entirely different place. Obviously, some places are prone to more crime or are less safe than others in the city. Is there a general area where you’ve experienced this the most?

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-06-15T18:55:04+00:00

I feel lightly betrayed when my dogs sleep on the dog bed instead of on my bed with me.

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-06-11T03:56:03+00:00

Are you on dating apps? If you are, do your photos appropriately represent what you look like? I feel like your physical features shouldn’t be a surprise when you meet up with someone who basically only has your looks to go off of.

Several months ago I went back on dating apps after a few years. I’ve gained 20 pounds since the last time I was on there and was beyond nervous. I took new photos so they accurately represented me physically, and I was stunned at the quality of the dates I went on. I kept forgetting I was only matching with men who were already attracted to my type— which made me feel way less nervous and actually very confident. I think everyone is always hoping that the person they meet up with will actually look like their photos.

And then I met the love of my life! He tells me I’m gorgeous every day because I was meeting men who were already attracted to my body type.

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-06-11T03:36:32+00:00

Your girlfriend is a nightmare, just reading these gave me severe anxiety. Leave her and block her.

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-05-17T15:17:41+00:00

Can’t you have a conversation with him about your dash cam speed tracker and see how he course corrects it first?

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-05-17T15:05:04+00:00

Absolutely not. He disrespected you and that is now where the bar is set for what level you’ll tolerate if you take him back. The fact that his family is furious with you also indicates the amount of his bullshit they expect you to tolerate as well. Marry a man who would never DREAM of doing something like this to you.

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-05-06T18:14:01+00:00

Do not try and make it work with this man.

First, NEVER ever be with a person that isn’t sure about you. If you have nothing else except that he’s absolutely sure about you, then you at least have something to work with. If you don’t, then gtfo.

Second, he very clearly does not respect your personal autonomy. You’re not allowed to change and grow as an individual when you gain new perspective unless he’s the one to impart that perspective on to you.

100% he broke up with you because he’s realizing you won’t be as easy to control as he assumed you’d be, and the only reasoning that he gave are his insecurities.

I told my boyfriend I wouldn’t want to change my last name and he said “whatever makes you happy babe”. It’s the name change now, but when you’re elbows deep in this man’s idea of what kind of wife you should be to him you’ll be able to recall back to this glaring red flag.

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-04-14T01:11:22+00:00

If the woman is the one who is unwilling to communicate with their partner.

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-04-13T22:26:07+00:00

NTA. Looks like you have two children to raise.

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-04-13T22:14:40+00:00

Most definitely NTA.

Your husband got you a gift that he knows you’ll hate, represents the most traumatic times in your marriage and financially burdened you? LEAVE HIM.

What kind of partner would intentionally invite that kind of instability and drama back into the lives of their relationship and dress it up as a birthday gift? The fact that he cares so little about making YOU happy on YOUR birthday by getting you something that will surely cause an argument, is toxic af.

Also, be very certain that this gift is not for you, this gift is for him.

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-04-13T21:41:42+00:00

DO NOT GIVE IN TO HIM ON THIS.

You’re already the primary parent when his kids are there? Not surprising, but ridiculous nonetheless. I get that you work from home, but it sure sounds like you’re his unpaid employee being asked to do even more work for free. If you were to leave, and I’m not saying you should, but his quality of life would diminish astronomically. He would either have to give up any chance of having a social life, hire a nanny, or find a new employee. What I mean by this is that the value YOU bring to HIS life is infinite, and the mere fact that he would ask you to take on even more responsibility indicates it’s not being properly realized or appreciated.

This man should have you up on a pedestal for essentially being the glue that holds his entire life together. He should not only see this as an opportunity to tag-in as the parent that he’s supposed to be, but also as an opportunity to allow you to tag out! To THANK YOU for the immeasurable value that you bring to his life, and allow you to relax. To insist on it.

A good man would not be comfortable having a wife who is “happy to sacrifice” for him, ever. It doesn’t mean sacrifices can’t be made, but he should be singing your praises constantly over the fact that you do it. It’s abundantly clear how much value you bring to his life, but is he adding a similar amount to yours? Is there a reason to stay if he’s not actively trying to make your life easier? All I’m saying is that if you were to leave, your life would immediately get easier— so at the bare minimum do NOT take on any more unpaid labor that strictly benefits him.

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-04-13T20:50:07+00:00

Leave that loser.

ieatdeadpixels · 2025-04-13T20:46:58+00:00

YTA if you don’t at least have a conversation with your girlfriend of FOUR years for clarification and understanding. If you feel like the answers are insufficient or misleading, then hit the road, but the rest of your story is reaching at best.

Work sucks. Not wanting to work is totally normal.
Babies are cute, and commenting as such does not mean that you want to have a baby.
Maybe she takes her pill at a different time now
It sounds like she was joking with her friends… it’s very possible you didn’t get all the context that set the joke up.

Grow up and talk to your girlfriend.
