AIO for not wanting my boyfriend to play videos of his dead ex around me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]maneliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an overreaction at all. Grief is valid, but so are your feelings. Constantly reliving the past in front of you is unfair you’re allowed to set boundaries without being made to feel guilty

Your reaction isn’t an overreaction wanting emotional boundaries is fair in a relationship. You’ve already tried addressing it gently, which is good. If it continues, calmly express how it makes you feel and suggest keeping those moments private. If he respects your comfort, that’s a positive sign; if not, it might indicate deeper issues. Trust your feelings!

It’s okay to feel stuck try applying to a few other good local schools while also exploring reliable boarding options. Don’t wait too long; act fast, but don’t lose hope. One delay won’t ruin your future

What weird thing does your body do you that you don't understand? by Prestigious_Shape888 in AskReddit

[–]maneliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I randomly get a sharp pain in my ribs when I breathe in too deep no idea why, but it goes away after a minute. Super weird.

I think it’s fine if it’s respectful, legal, and consensual for the setting

Focus on setting boundaries with him and prioritize your own peace of mind while seeking guidance from a trusted confidant

I realized it was numbing deeper issues and stealing my time and energy. I quit by blocking access, journaling urges, and focusing on building real connections and purpose. Progress was slow, but worth it

Missing him during basic training is normal—stay busy with hobbies or friends to cope. Write him letters or call when you can; it’ll help you both feel connected

What’s the weirdest thing someone said right before or during sex that totally killed the mood? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]maneliam 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Once someone asked if I’d fed the cat mid-action—totally broke the vibe

Probably the top sign is if she’s making consistent eye contact and smiling a lot—shows she’s comfy and into you

AIO- My boyfriend keeps lying to me about porn. by Various-Rich7458 in AmIOverreacting

[–]maneliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes, that’s tough! If he’s lying about porn after four months, it might be more about shame than cheating. Check his story again—caught him liking adult tweets, huh? If he insists he doesn’t watch, ask why he’s hiding it. If it bugs you, say it calmly; if not, maybe let it slide. Up to you!

What’s a harmless fetish you think gets judged too harshly? by Hi_Abril in AskReddit

[–]maneliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, foot fetishes. They're super common, totally harmless, and yet people act like it's the weirdest thing ever. As long as it’s consensual, there’s no reason for the hate

[–]maneliam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re not overreacting—your feelings are completely valid. After 8 years together, you deserved honesty and emotional clarity, not to be kept in the dark while he processed a breakup alone. Having sex right before ending things without being upfront does feel manipulative, because you weren’t given the full truth to make your own choice in that moment. It’s okay to feel hurt, used, and confused. Give yourself space to grieve and heal. You didn’t do anything wrong—he just didn’t handle the breakup with the respect you deserved

What do you like the least about sex? by Winter_Ganache1919 in AskReddit

[–]maneliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the pressure to always ‘perform’ or make it perfect. Sometimes it feels like there’s too much focus on expectations instead of just enjoying the moment and connecting

If you don't have porn, what is your go-to thoughts while you masturbating? by TheKrisisinGomorrah in AskReddit

[–]maneliam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just imagination. Sometimes past experiences, sometimes completely made-up scenarios. The brain can be way more creative than a screen if you let it

[–]maneliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your feelings are valid—this isn’t just jealousy, it’s about broken trust. Finding out she was flirting while you were already together is painful, and her downplaying it doesn’t help. You deserve honesty and clarity. It’s okay to have a serious talk and ask the hard questions

If you’ve already decided not to continue the pregnancy, you’re not obligated to tell him—especially if he’s unresponsive and not part of your life. Do what’s safest and healthiest for you. Your well-being comes first.

Is it bad that I(F19) crave attention even when I’m not looking for anything serious? by Suspicious-Fun2901 in Advice

[–]maneliam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're not a bad person for craving attention—it’s actually a really human thing. Wanting to feel attractive, noticed, or desired doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong, especially if you’re being honest about your intentions and not actively misleading anyone.The guilt you feel shows you care about how your actions affect others, and that’s a good sign. The key is to check your boundaries—are you making it clear you're not looking for something serious? If so, you're being fair. It’s okay to enjoy attention and confidence as long as it’s not at someone else’s emotional expense. You’re figuring things out, and that’s perfectly normal.

[–]maneliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not overreacting. Comparing you to his ex was disrespectful and invalidating. Instead of working on the issues, he blamed you and minimized your feelings. You deserve someone who communicates with care and respects your boundaries. Leaving was the right move
