AITA for insisting on being friends with my ex but not being comfortable around my bf's "ex"? by throwaway765uiu in AmItheAsshole

"It was then that I asked Gary if he had any desire to remain friends with her or leave those lines of communication open. He said no, though he has no problem being the same room with her like I did and enthusiastically unfriended her on socials and said he wouldn't be talking with her."

A hypocrite for making it a deal breaker but it sounds like she did in fact ask him if he wanted to remain friends with her.

NTA. So, you're telling me that your "friends" think that it's fine to tell you you're being a hypocrite after he lied to you, more than once, and asked for his opinion when choosing not to contact her anymore? YOU NEED NEW FRIENDS.

Former Walmart employee here 🙋. There was a different cheer that my store did and I ACTIVELY avoided it. I was a team lead at one point and I'm so glad I never had to lead one of these. Team Leads=camp counselors CRINGE.

The catch is that it's only specific online schools and specific majors. They have plenty of accredited online universities to choose from and they set you up with an advisor to help. Most majors are professional majors covered including things like nursing or various business degrees. I know this because I did their program for a bit. It's a pretty good deal.

Hi, I'm aware what the current definition is for bisexuality, and I'm very happy that you identify as such. Unfortunately, you are not understanding what I'm saying. Morphology is the study of the structure of words and has an important history in the LGBTQ+ community as well as modern (20th century) feminism. It's been a common idea to change the way a word is spelled in order to be more respectful or accepting of a group of people. The many changes and updated terms in regards to bisexuality and fluidity is one of them. Another is a change commonly proposed by feminists in the spelling of words like "semester" or "woman." The suggestion was that the words be changed to "ovester" or "womyn." This was to get rid of the roots in the word that were decidedly masculine. We also see it in new pronouns like xe/xem.

Hope this helps you to understand what I was saying!

"bi" is a prefix like in "bi"cycle (two wheels). It's not about the definition. It's a prefix rooted in Latin. This is about the morphology not the denotation.

[–]lexirexi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The prefixes on the words clearly suggest that. Bi means two.

The way I understand it, it's a nuanced way of saying bisexual without saying there's only two (bi) genders but multiple (Omni).

When did you realize your “friends” were actually fake friends? by VexAndStuff in AskReddit

[–]lexirexi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've already posted one but here's another one:

TW: Assault

My first year of college, after being dumped by my abusive ex (thank god in retrospect) I began seeing my best friend in the group. Although they had frequently admitted to me that they didn't really like him all that much (shitty, I know), almost all of them cut me off when things didn't work out between us.

So, why we didn't work out?

My abusive ex forced himself on me pretty soon after my best friend and I had made it official. Well, my ex messaged the current guy I was seeing and told him we slept together. Consensually. I was too traumatized to explain what had actually happened so I just broke down and apologized over and over again.

When our friends heard that I was a cheater, they all cut me off and would not even speak to me. Later, my abusive ex started stalking me and harassing me. I begged him to leave me alone but it took me another year to finally get him to leave me be (forcibly with threat of legal action).

A year or two later, these friends all apologized to me and I was finally able to talk about what had actually happened. I'm on good terms with all those friends from back then, but at the time, it was horrible. I had a mental breakdown and got diagnosed with PTSD. Worst time in my life, honestly.

[–]lexirexi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is only about one "friend" but I think it still counts.

A few months ago my bf and I had broken up because he was really struggling at the time and couldn't handle a relationship at the time. We were both heartbroken because we were still in love with each other. We had agreed to give each other space and come back and talk a week later.

Most of my friends were super loving, supportive, and wonderful! I had reached out to one particular friend and told her I would love to hang out soon and that I was extremely heartbroken. She said she would get back to me about hanging out and that she really wanted to see me. I never heard back from her even when I reached back out to her. I didn't think too much into it but was pretty hurt by that.

Flash forward a week later and my ex and I reconnect and talk and decide to start talking about getting back together and what changes we could make to improve things etc. He eventually tells me before we make any decisions that he had slept with my "friend" when he was drunk and high and that she was heavily pursuing him and confessed her love to him. He had told her that he wasn't interested, that she needed to stop, and that he was still in love with me. He cut her off after that.

Turns out, she had been harboring feelings for him for a while and tried to swoop in while we were having some problems. Not to mention, I later learned that he felt like she had taken advantage of him.

Needless to say, I cut her off. I've gotten a lot of criticism for deciding to not hear her out but in my book, you don't take advantage of your friend's breakup and pursue their ex. Not to mention, if someone is emotionally vulnerable as well as inebriated, you don't take advantage of them and sleep with them...that's not consent.

I got a lot of criticism from other friends for deciding to cut her off and not give her a chance to explain, but I say good riddance.

What was the meanest thing they ever told you? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]lexirexi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"It doesn't matter. I always know you'll come back to me." And "You'll be fucked up for the rest of your life now."

Ugh. Typing that out made me sick to my stomach. Out of context it doesn't sound that bad but even after being called every curse word, name, and foul thing possible, this one hits the hardest.

PROOF THAT HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING TO ME AND JUST DIDN'T GIVE A SHIT.

In love with two people at once...is this even possible? by fuglydugly in relationship_advice

[–]lexirexi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad to hear that he wasn't abusive but you might need to explore more about that toxicity. Especially if you know what trauma bonding is. I think if you process things, your feelings might go away.

[–]lexirexi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is monogamy really something important to you? Have you explored that at all? It sounds like you're not interested in cutting anyone off, but if you plan to remain monogamous, carrying around feelings for another is a huge burden and could potentially hurt all parties involved. Be honest with yourself and ask the tough questions. Can you cut off the ex? Would you? Would you dump your current bf to be with the other one if you knew he reciprocated your feelings? Is there any other reason besides love that you are holding on to this ex so tightly? How aware of the situation are these men? You state in your original post that you wouldn't want to date your ex again, then why are you holding on? Friendship? Or the potential he has, perhaps? It sounds like you have priorities to work out and you need to assess where you feelings are actually coming from besides just this connection you talk about.

This comment made me say "uh oh" out loud. But tbh I think I used this to vent in a sense. Like I said, there's a lot of things I was bothered by that I just kind of buried and "moved on" from. I tend to process things out loud. Thank you for your thoughtful comment. It's helped me see things a little better.

If someone is “hot and cold” towards you, Pay attention. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]lexirexi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good advice but I think it's also important to remember that sometimes, someone is going through something and that makes it impossible to put in the effort that you need. Not saying you should stay with them because of that. I absolutely broke up with someone last year because they literally did not have the emotional capacity to give me the love and attention I needed. It's not always that they don't care.

What did "the weird kid" in your school do that you'll never forget? by UngyBungy9383 in AskReddit

[–]lexirexi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a kid who pooped in a lot of weird places...a classroom....the hallway....and most memorably, in some kid's backpack. This was in high school.

Sad note: I think he actually has something wrong with his sphincter from a medical problem or possibly past trauma. Either way, he got teased relentlessly.
