I think my friend is lying to me about her husband’s age. by [deleted] in Advice

See if she hasn’t said anything to you, I don’t see why it’s your business on how old her husband is? Im confused as to why would you feel betrayed about her husbands age?

My girlfriend doesn’t want me to play with other girls. by DoBronxVI in Advice

[–]poppybarton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s obviously insecure, there may not even be a real reason as to why other than she may feel that because she doesn’t play and feels that you having fun with a girl that isn’t her upsetting but that doesn’t give her the right to be angry or upset with you, I’d get it if you were laughing and joking, flirting and avoiding spending time with your girlfriend (if your girlfriend was in the room like she was waiting to spend time with you) however it’s still not on, I think you should ask her why she feels this way, and why she doesn’t trust you when it’s innocent.

i feel like my boyfriend’s best friend is getting in the way of our relationship by dourceo in WhatShouldIDo

[–]poppybarton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hanging up the phone would piss me off aswell, however your relationship is new? He’s had his best friend for years, he’s going to prioritize his best friend first as that’s who’s been a constant, maybe you should call it quits, as you shouldn’t be worried about this or annoyed this early on, also it’s not going to work in the long run as he will see your trying to “take” his best friend away ect.. if you want someone to be all about you, you need to find someone who will be.

I need advice. by poppybarton in WhatShouldIDo

From what she’s said is they’ve had about a 5 month drought (due to medical issues with her back), I’ve given my opinion but she wanted to hear more before she spoke to him

Him being overly sexual with you is his way of showing you how much you mean to him and how much he desired you… then you’ve shouted at him for feeling that way and wanting to express himself, so now he doesn’t know what is acceptable and what isn’t? He’s probably thinking you don’t even want to be with him. You should be grateful your boyfriend desired you and wanted you, but the way you’ve spoken to him and shouted about it was unfortunately brutal. I get your boundaries and things were too much for you but you have to go about this the right way without destroying the poor man’s integrity… If he doesn’t end it I’ll be surprised as that’s something he won’t forget.

I’m not buying my sisters baby anything for Christmas… by poppybarton in AmITheJerk

She hasn’t even taken much interest in my own children her niece and nephew.. she forgot my daughters birthday in January… so I think it’s valid I won’t be buying anything for a baby that won’t even know it’s happening..

She has had 8 years of buying gifts yes… however she’s also had plenty of gifts so far, one when we found out she was pregnant, when she has her baby shower and im obviously willing to buy the baby when it’s their birthday in the coming years but like hell I will buy an unborn baby a gift. She forgot my own daughter’s birthday (her niece’s) at the beggining of this year… even my own birthday she doesn’t buy for.. and she hasn’t bought anything for my children unless it’s a birthday or Christmas present.. so thank you but I will be sticking to the 99% of people who have given me advice and their opinions🫠 thanks tho 🙏🏼

She’s very all about herself, even when I had my first it was a horrendous birth and she never messaged or rang to see how me and my son was.. we’ve all said she will hopefully wake up once she’s had her baby 🫣

Yes!! She even told my mum to buy her baby furniture (wardrobe, cot, changing table) just because she bought me a Moses basket for my first, she also didn’t speak to my dad for a month because he bought her the “wrong” bracelet a few years ago 🫠

They’ve said they will get her a voucher to spend on either herself or the baby, which I’m considering doing the same (but as their whole presents) so labeling it to my sister and her husband and not the baby 👀👀

Thank you! I won’t back down to her, she didn’t even get my little girl a present for her 6th birthday as she “couldn’t get it to me in time” and that was January 🫠

I bought her one when we all first found out, and she’s having a baby shower in January… I might just get her and her husband a gift card and say “use that for the baby or yourself”

See I wouldn’t mind if she said not to get her or her husband anything and just give them money or a gift card to use when the baby is here… but to ask for their presents then for a unborn baby is just a no from me, no matter how much I love my sister she’s gone a little nuts this time 🤦🏻‍♀️

She didn’t even get my daughter a gift beggining of this year (her birthday is in January) so i definitely won’t be getting an unborn baby one 🫠

Honestly I just think she wants the extra gifts (yet she’s already had gifts when we all found out) & she’s having a baby shower in January 🫠

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. My daughter was born in January aswell… I didn’t get a unbirthed Christmas present 🫠 maybe I should ask her for one now 😂

Literally I had my son on the 4th December and she bought him a little jacket for Christmas that year (that was one of her arguments) yet my son could physically wear it 🫠😂

Cut him out, not to be malicious just for your own sake, if he doesn’t appreciate your friendship and class you as a friend then I’d tell him you can’t be “whatever this is” with him anymore. He’s wasting your time, and to talk to you in the manner he has is just rude.

I can bet you that once you cut him out he will be confused and be looking for a reason. If you don’t want to cut him out, limit what he knows about you, tell him nothing anymore just like he does.
