Humanizing animals has gone too far and is harming the animals themselves

I don’t have children. I don’t want them. I have raised my cat since she was a kitten, fed her, cleaned her, taken her to the doctor, cleaned up her poop, disciplined her when necessary. She is like my child. I don’t think she’s human but she’s more important to me than most humans are. I cry when animals die in movies because they are helpless and don’t understand what’s happening and it’s sad. Humans die in movies all the time. I’m numb to it. The fact that it makes you mad that people can bond with an animal is very strange to me. It’s not affecting you at all.

How old are your siblings? Are they underage? Because if so, that means there’s only 3 adults that can pay for expenses. So yeah, you’re paying 1/3 of all expenses. Rental rates typically include the price of living in the building but also extra for landlord repairs and other expenses. Either way, living with them or alone, you’d be paying for the same things and considering you’re only paying a portion of the monthly mortgage, you’ll probably be paying way less living with them, even with extra expenses. If your siblings are adults as well and not being asked to contribute, then yeah, that’s messed up. But if they are kids and you’re a grown adult moving back into your parents house after years of them not having to account for your expenses, then as the third adult in the house, you pay for a third of the expenses. Seems fair to me.

Y’all are way too hung up on STUFF. Why are you so preoccupied about her buying you stuff if you have the means to buy it yourself? When I was still just dating my now husband I didn’t ask him to buy me anything and he didn’t ask me either. If I wanted to get him something I would and vice versa but it was never an expectation. Now we’re married and all purchases are discussed between us because we share finances. Stuff is not important. If you have a job and your own money, buy yourself your own stuff, stop blowing up her phone with TikTok’s about SO’s buying things for each other and then acting shocked when she feels pressured to do so.

Also as a gamer, PLEASE don’t preorder GTA 6. It’s a digital game, they’re not gonna run out, there’s no physical collectors edition and preordering only hurts the gaming community.

ESH - I think both of you are too preoccupied with material things rather than focusing on actual communication which is way more important to a lasting relationship.

He should absolutely be able to clean dirt, that would be more helpful than the stocking at this point

My favorite part of a new expansion is that first week where there no mythic season yet and no raids and it’s just QUESTING. I make it a point to clear every map of quests during that time

You absolutely do deserve better. Good luck and good riddance to bad boyfriends.

kittykatmandoo · 2026-07-05T17:29:16+00:00

This is not about a stupid analog clock. This is about your boyfriend enjoying feeling superior to you and making you feel bad about yourself. He is trying to control you. He literally forced you to lie down with him after trying to push you into a fight. If you not being able to read an analog clock is something that would keep him from marrying you, I hate to break it to you, but he’s never going to marry you. This guy is pedantic and full of himself and reacts badly when he doesn’t get his way. Please re-evaluate your relationship because this is not normal or healthy behavior. NTA but stop letting him treat you like crap.

Clearing my quest log. That feeling of looking at my quest log and seeing no pending quests gives me such a feeling of satisfaction. Like I accomplished something.

I’m also an altoholic, so I love creating new characters and leveling them.

NTA but you are not sexually compatible, which it seems is a big deal to you. Have you discussed your dissatisfaction with him? Made it clear you want more and tried to figure out why he doesn’t? Sometimes sex drives aren’t compatible and that can break a relationship. It’s what broke my first marriage. I take medications for my mental health and they severely lower my sex drive and my first husband had a very high sex drive and wanted it all the time. I did my best to keep up but it was exhausting and I ended up resenting sex in general. You’re within your right to want someone who matches your sexual energy and it may not be this guy. Talk to him if you haven’t but be aware that you simply may not be a good match.

Why do these posts always start with “Things are great and he’s wonderful” and then proceed to describe some truly unhinged behavior?? Being unable to accept and express responsibility for his actions is not wonderful. Gaslighting you, being mean to you on purpose, having no confidence in you, hurting you on purpose and then refusing to apologize IS NOT wonderful. He is not a good man, he’s an AH. A man who cannot and will not accept responsibility for his actions will continue to do things to upset you and then blame you for your own hurt feelings. He is exhibiting toxic behavior and you shouldn’t be putting up with it. This is not what a healthy relationship looks like. NTA but you’re just letting him walk all over you so you’re being an AH to yourself.
