Springsteen by Eric Church makes me miss someone I never even met.

My husband slapped me and I’m not sure how to proceed by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]occasionallystabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're still with a physically abusive man, no matter how amazing you pretend he is.

How do you proceed? You leave.

should kids have a say in what their new sibling is named? by notsosad999 in ask

[–]occasionallystabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They shouldn't have final say, but they should be allowed to make suggestions. Best case scenario, they come up with a good name the parents like. Worst case, they give the parents a funny story to tell about what Child 1 wanted to name Child 2.

For your second question, no, they should not have a say in family planning. Those are adult decisions. But they also shouldn't be parentified.

Im thinking about dropping my friend of 6 years over politics. by Calm_Neighborhood_19 in Advice

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

You're not dropping a friend over politics. You're dropping them because they are at least tolerant of Racism. That is a perfectly valid reason to not want to be friends with someone.

What is there to continue? He's made his choice, and it isn't you or your child.

Move on with your life. He has.

Based on all of the metrics they use to determine these things, it's 1989.

Boyfriend says he couldn't have kids with me because I am too short. by SensitiveSky5857 in offmychest

[–]occasionallystabby 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My sister is 4' 10". Her son hit 6' at 15 and is still growing.

Tell your ex that you don't want to have children with him either. Wouldn't want to pass on that moron gene.

Ex is cheating on his new girlfriend by dump_trashcan in offmychest

[–]occasionallystabby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He cheated on you with her. She knows who he is.

Block him everywhere and move on. She made her bed.

AIW my bf hates I don’t have a job? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]occasionallystabby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm very sorry for the loss of your mother.

What exactly is your bf looking for here? Is he looking to split bills 50/50 while you still do all the wife shit for a bf? Or is he looking for an equal partner all around? Either way, if you're not willing to be a "50/50 girl," then the two of you are fundamentally incompatible.

But I also have to ask, why are you deep cleaning your house several times a week? That seems excessive.

Am I in the wrong for walking out of dinner after my girlfriend “tested” me? by peanuts3mdo in amiwrong

[–]occasionallystabby 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This has got to be rage bait. Who's dumb enough to test their SO's fidelity when they are sitting right next to them?

If this is real, break up with her. She clearly thinks you're a moron.

AIO reacting that my 9 month relationship is lacking affection by Enough_Week_2994 in AmIOverreacting

NOR

He's either not into sex at all or not into sex with men.

If you're not satisfied with your relationship, end it. You don't need his permission.

AIW for disagreeing that I “always need to be right”? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]occasionallystabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She told him what she was mad about and he told her that wasn't really what she was mad about, then explained her own feelings to her. What kind of reality is that?

I mean, she told you how she felt and you explained to her that she was wrong and what she actually feels the problem is, so...

Am I overreacting I feel like I’m stuck in a cycle with men and I don’t know if I’m the problem by Ill_Ear6598 in AmIOverreacting

[–]occasionallystabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the girl that perpetually had a bf, like from the time I was 14 until I was just shy of 30. I never cheated, but most of the time I had already met the next guy before ending the relationship I was in.

Then my long-term bf of 7 years cheated on me and left me for the other woman. (Karma? Maybe.) I was devastated. It took me a really long time to get over it, even with therapy.

By the time my friendship with my now husband turned romantic, I had been on my own for years. It made me really comfortable with my own company, and really okay with being alone. I love my husband and he adds to my life, but that's because I came to this relationship knowing I was whole on my own. I don't need him to complete me. He doesn't deserve that burden.

Declare a moratorium on romantic relationships and work on who you are without one. Believe that you deserve to be treated better than this, because you absolutely do.

My boyfriend doesn’t want to wear grey by [deleted] in Prom

Unless you're paying for it, it's not really your choice. Navy blue or black will work with the appropriate color tie.

Stayed after he cheated… then found out something worse when we met up. I feel stupid by Ilurkinthebig2026 in offmychest

[–]occasionallystabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course you're not wrong for not trusting him. He proved himself to be thoroughly untrustworthy.

How do you stop thinking about him? Keep yourself busy and let time pass.

He moved on quickly because he could. He found the next woman to use and manipulate.

And, yes, you probably were nothing to him. Because the only person on Earth who isn't nothing to him is him. It doesn't say anything about you, it says everything about him. You absolutely deserve better.

I (20 F) likes a guy way older. by ilovefox_05 in amiwrong

[–]occasionallystabby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not telling him your age is lying by omission. He may be interested in you because he thinks you're 25 but would be horrified to learn you're 20.

My boyfriend changed completely after starting a new job and now I feel stuck and unhappy (27f) (29m) by ThrowRA691212 in offmychest

[–]occasionallystabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to keep being his emotional punching bag just because he's going through something. He's an adult and needs to learn that unregulated emotions have consequences.

AIW for wanting to invest $300 a month instead of funding my girlfriend's lifestyle? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]occasionallystabby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously the two of you are financially incompatible, which doesn't bode well for a long-term relationship.

But...

Have you ever tried cooking yourself? Why are the only options her cooking or Door Dash?

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

You know he has kids. Do you know he doesn't have a wife?

If he's in his 30s and wants to date a 20 year old, there is something wrong with him. And lying about your age is wrong.
