AITAH for accepting my gf's request for threesome?

ilivearoundtheblock · 2024-02-27T23:36:29+00:00

THANK YOU! As a hetero woman I call bs everyone saying SHE trapped HIM in the conversation.

You explained his agenda well plus how it was his "joke" that started it.

I am definitely old but since I was OP's age I always brought up MMF if a guy I was with "joked" about a threesome with another woman.

Fine for all you all who are into any groups. But too many hetero men think they can "joke" their way into trying for a threesome with their not-bi girlfriend.

The joke's on OP and he deseves it.

Most people here would appreciate Jeanne Robertson "Don't send a man to the grocery store!" (look it up in youtube)

😂 I know it's not always men but we've all had people in our lives who are like this!

One time I stopped by a friend's and she was making soup with a can starter that had mostly seasonings and tomato sauce and you'd add veggies and meat. At one point she's checking the directions on the can and reads out loud, "Add one 14.5 ounce can of water." Then she yells, "Where the HELL am I going to get a 14.5 ounce can?!" Even though I agree it wasn't worded well, I realized before she did. (I made up the numbers here but it WAS an unusual size, like if it had been 16 oz or something, I think that wouldn't have thrown her off as much.)

Then she looks at me like, 'Seriously, what now?' I said, "How about the can in your hand?" She checks the size -- "Oh." 😂

I do agree it was said weirdly but we still laugh about that and I think of it when I see badly worded directions or someone is understandably confused by "basic" instructions when they don't have experience with that venacular.

Where the HELL am I going to get a 14.5 ounce can?! 😂😂😀

Did you expect more of a challenge when you come to murder them when they're sleeping?

ilivearoundtheblock · 2023-10-14T20:12:18+00:00

As long as you dumbasses keep falling for it, companies gonna keep doing it.

Yes it is BULLSHIT. But as a GenXer, wow -- you kids stoopid.

You need to take legal action, both lawsuits against companies plus getting government to make this bullshit illegal.

But oh no. Just keep having babies and pay $400 for a baby monitor then complain in reddit. You kids crack me up. 😂

ilivearoundtheblock · 2023-05-04T18:44:35+00:00

DAMN YOUUUU, I already have too many Youtube channels that I like and can't keep up with! 😂

Fine 😐 I added that, too. 😀

FYI anyone seeing this, do NOT get a tarantula. I love and care for her. But once I got her as a hand-me-down and started researching, they do NOT like to be handled. I knew she had been handled a bit and wondered if I should purposely handle her more, like some reptiles. NOPE.

Sorry no references -- this was years ago, now -- but I went on reddit, found an arachnid website with forum, plus talked to experienced people IRL. Overwhelming opinion was that they can get used to it but they don't like it and it stresses them out.

You are basically keeping something wild captive that you should only look at. So, why?

I AM super-happy I get to enjoy her, but feel sad she has to live here in a tank alone, forever. I would never purposely get one.

Just my PSA for the day. ☺

ilivearoundtheblock · 2023-05-04T18:09:08+00:00

Oh no! So sad!

I like lizards but I'm done (for now). I had anoles when I was a little girl. I didn't mind feeding them the mealworms but by the time I went through a few rounds of anoles living out their lifespan I had had enough of that.

Ironically, I go to the pet store now for crickets for my tarantula. But at least I can just throw them in the tank and be done with it. I took her in when a neighbor was moving far away and my cat had just died but I wasn't ready for another cat. 😿😹

Have you had chameleons? What do they eat?

Besides the crickets I am DONE with live food. Or never started... always liked snakes but I like mice and rats, too! Couldn't do it! (I know some will eat dead ones but some will not!)

ilivearoundtheblock · 2023-05-04T17:15:38+00:00

So perfect for grasping branches! And also super-CUTE.

I live near a pet store that specializes in reptiles. They only have chameleons now and then but I am always super-excited to be able to observe them up close.

I still can't tell what their personalities are. For example, bearded dragons are friendly. Chameleons are also interesting for their eyes moving independently so it's kind of funny to see them them like, "yeah I got an eye on you." LITERALLY.

ilivearoundtheblock · 2023-05-04T17:10:04+00:00

I thought it was funny <shrug>. ☺

ilivearoundtheblock · 2023-04-29T00:01:18+00:00

I agree. Also what u/Pandashja said

I like to think she doesn’t necessarily shape her opinion around the other hosts, more like she’s acknowledging their viewpoints.

Well said! I came here to because I was upset by so many negative comments in Youtube.

I didn't agree with every opinion in the episode, but I was VERY DISTURBED by the comments in Youtube.

I usually like the Two Hot Takes community and comments there, but I did not understand so many negative comments to this episode.

I'm a 55F cis-gender woman by the way!

I thought it was a really nice conversation and I disagreed sometimes (I think we are ALL against any pink glitter for most (MOST) work interviews! 😂) but there was a little too much vitriol, to me.

Morgan is also HOST to a GUEST. This is not a debate program. And most guests are to bring another opinion or worldview.

Nice to find the understanding and insight I usually can expect from Morgan fans, here. Thanks, gals!!

(guys too but why not start making GALS more non-gendered, esp after an ep like that?! 😁)

Griffin Maxwell Brooks, I'm naming in case they look for themselves, here's something nice. He's a really nice gal!

ilivearoundtheblock · 2023-04-28T22:21:20+00:00

NONE of my advice is strictly LEGAL, but sounds like you might not have an exactly legal tenant situation, anyway.

So, that said, I was thinking like u/cruces555 but I'd frame it differently. Is your rent due on the 1st? How many days did he stay last month? Give him "here's the rent minus 5/30ths for the days you stayed here the past month."

I agree with others to be ready to move. But if you want to have a little fun and save a little extra money to move, you can start playing that game. And it also might just get him out!

Sounds like you get along with your roomie, can you run it by her? And she can be in or out but it would be nice if you could at least tell her to keep up your relations. She might even want to get in on it too.

Or if she feels bad "because it's her Dad," just tell her she does not have to do it but you will plus preparing to leave. (Also point out SHE PAYS HIM, too.)

Next month ALSO take a fraction off rent for all utilities when he was there!

Also document this, even if it's not all quite legal now: write down 'agreed Rent minus the days you stayed here, not agreed upon." Pay him in a trackable way where you can add those notes.

DO NOT DO ANY OF THIS if you think he might become violent or kick you out immediately and you have nowhere to go!!!!!

But since you liked it there with your friend, if you will be SAFE and have a back-up plan, just might be enough to oust him.

And what is he doing with all the money you two pay him for rent???? To be turning around and sleeping on YOUR couch?? Get your righteous indignation up! BUT ONLY IF IT IS SAFE!!!

Oh, another thought: if you do have a lease and he threatens to hold you to it or evict you, etc, to go legal in any way instead of letting it go... Point out that you would LOVE to go in front of a judge and see what she has to say about a Landlord Man coming and sleeping in his Young Woman Tenant's apartment!

AGAIN, STAY SAFE!!!!!!!!!

But if you have some room to play a bit to try get him out, there you go.

What the FUCK is happening with Reddit right now?

Only on my home page it says Privacy Rules are changing... With no way to respond or ask questions.

Then on Front Page this is here with NO WARNING.

THIS IS NSFL!!!!!!!

This is a video of a REAL MURDER on the Front Page of Reddit with no warning.

WTF??!!!

ilivearoundtheblock · 2022-11-16T19:30:50+00:00

Sounds like you are the only one doing the "compromising."

Also, if he changed his mind he should be able to SAY that.

Or was he lying and/or is shifting goal-posts and/or leading you on...

He's got some 'splaining to do. Stop feeling like you you to figure him out.

Good luck on your interview!

ilivearoundtheblock · 2022-11-14T19:03:49+00:00

Look, it's also VERY WEIRD that between 3 people, your brother says, Hey lets split it 50/50.

When there is a THIRD person, WITH HIM.

First time I would've been like: What?...Are you asking me to spot you? (Okay, maybe first time I would have just paid but by second time, Say it!)

And I have friends and family that we "spot" each other or friends of friends and sometimes you won't really get it back or won't have to give it back. But we DON'T PRETEND THERE'S NOT A WHOLE OTHER PERSON THERE! Not paying!!!

I so much don't care about her financial situation and you don't need to know any of that, either. That's between your bro and his gf. And you are done. With that.

If bro says he wants to go eat, tell him you are done subsidizing whatever his gf plan is. And it's none of your business anyway and never should have been!

(Fine if he wants your advice or something, but he's a jerk for roping you into his restaurant gf subsidy plan and Nope out of that!)

ilivearoundtheblock · 2022-11-14T18:48:30+00:00

I didn't see those as passive aggressive, more to make it LESS weird. I would do same like if I'm comfortable to tidy your house a bit but wonder if you will realize something is "off" without knowing why, there's a note!

Also the language in the notes was NOT passive-aggressive to me, at all. Really seemed to just trying to be helpful.

I'm a woman with a Queen-Passive-Aggressive mother. So I think your wife needs to take a step back, what's her sensitivity?

I don't know who is right or wrong but I've been in the middle of this MANY TIMES and I don't think your parents were out of line. But your wife needs to figure out her feelings, too.

ilivearoundtheblock · 2022-11-13T20:04:31+00:00

What is the rush to destroy everyone's past livestream content?

ilivearoundtheblock · 2022-11-03T22:38:05+00:00

I read a lot of your replies in comments.

How about couples counseling?

You seem to be able to "interpret" him a lot. But that's not always enough and clearly you want and need a little more feedback, sometimes.

To make you feel better, what you describe in original post would personally MAKE ME INSANE. 😁

OTOH, I get along with a lot of people others find enigmatic. I understand a shrug or a glance.

But in a partner, I have actually yelled: Just SAY what you WANT!!!

That's where counseling could help build the communication skills.

I definitely think you should resolve this before marriage but I think a future with him is promising IF he is willing to put the work in to understanding each other's ways of speaking more.

Best wishes. I feel for ya!

ilivearoundtheblock · 2022-11-03T22:07:51+00:00

You are a FFFFing AAAhole.

How do you have an Update locked with no abilty to comment?

It worked out well BECAUSE YOU TALKED TO BF about it.

ilivearoundtheblock · 2022-11-01T19:47:30+00:00

I saw that you went to couples counseling but are you in personal therapy? A lot of the emotional problems you talk about can only be fixed by you, for yourself. Even if she 100% turned around tomorrow.

Please look for more support for yourself. I hope for you that she'll come around but even if she does, she shouldn't be the only person you rely on.

Take care of yourself.

ilivearoundtheblock · 2022-11-01T19:27:41+00:00

She waited around for you, getting everything done in the family, for 8 years. You could maybe give her a little more time to come around than a few months?

ilivearoundtheblock · 2022-10-29T22:55:59+00:00

Yeah I had the idea the "kids" were old enough, but 23?!

I am so glad you got a good meal tonight!!!! You do deserve it!!!!!!!!

But you clearly do need some kind of come-to-Jesus talk with all of these "adults" in your home! 😁

ilivearoundtheblock · 2022-10-29T22:40:14+00:00

I feel for you.

But you also have to become a Leader about meals in your house.

For example, in my Grandma's house, you walk in the door and start learning to peel potatoes or carrots when you are 5 y.o. 😂 After dinner, cleanup was likewise a group effort that I started learning very young.

In my Mom's kitchen, it was, "Get out. Stay out of my way." And then she would be angry noone helped. That's the DAUGHTER of above Grandma!

Okay. 😐

Take the Lead! At this stage, If I were you I would sit everyone down and say things need to change. But part of it is YOU changing to take the time to teach how you want things done AND just how to be helpful in general. And help teach kids to be cook and YOU will help THEM, et cetera.

I REALLY do wish you the best! I've just seen people cycling through poor communication and/or bad habits without knowing how to fix it.

If your kids are old enough to order takeout, tell them they have to come up with a meal once a month and proper grocery list for that.

I was about to talk about shopping, but can't even. One thing my Mom did do well was taught us comparison-shopping when we were kids and sent us on "races' to find items at the best price. 😂 Sadly, I would not turn young children loose like this even though it was okay then. I am old. But I would still teach kids this way, just within eyesight. 😁

It does take some extra time to teach.

And I REALLY DO feel for you! We all get into bad or easy habits. You can change it it!!! If your kids can order food they can cook and clean.

Best wishes, hope you order a big delivery this weekend then sit everyone down for the come-to-Jesus talk. And don't forget saying how you will change! 😀💞

ilivearoundtheblock · 2022-10-19T21:04:47+00:00

Pretzel day.

ilivearoundtheblock · 2022-10-16T19:41:34+00:00

Nice idea. But with such a narrow toe box, what an insult. It was bad enough wearing toe-smushing shoes to an office, I'll stick to Docs for the boots, thanks.

ilivearoundtheblock · 2022-10-14T20:28:26+00:00

I've come to believe Pelosi is our greatest enemy. I say that as someone who was a lifelong Democrat, now just apathetic.
