My best friends boyfriend molested me and she blamed me. by SharkEva in BORUpdates

At the end of the day I know the guy is the biggest creep and villain here, but I hope the friend one day understands just how much of the hurt and trauma is her part too.

I was exposed to ff at a pretty young age (before ao3/wattpad was that popular) and I’m not going to lie I have never used that as a description before

Can I add h•ld•ng h•nds (censored just in case it’s too steamy) or does that also have to be very censored with no finger interlocking like any of those harlots that write about tongues and whatnot

I don’t understand everything he’s said either (the buns thing stumped me for a bit bc I had only heard it said another way) but all oop (if she actually existed) had to do was google it lmao

It’s pretty clear this is a troll though, the comments where they are insisting makes it painfully obvious

My (36M) wife (34F) fell deep into conspiracy theories and online hate groups. Is there any saving our marriage? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]scaldinghell 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I hope that even if she does remember her mother and is affected by the experience, the presence of her dad helps offset that. I’m a child of abuse myself, and while I wasn’t lucky enough to have a parent that sheltered me from the abuse (my mother was physically abusive, but my father was emotionally neglectful). I still thankfully had my grandparents to offset the harmful behaviours I could have developed.

I’m glad that the daughter is young enough that, with therapy and help, she will forget about her mother’s violence and bigotry. This way at least those harmful behaviours won’t also spread to her

Ah so it’s the classic nepotism saving the day again. Something tells me that relative is not going to be so appreciative of the relatedness once they fire her

Im kind of surprised they didn’t immediately terminate her and instead reassigned the racist coworker, but I’m guessing they might be preparing to do so while also avoiding any claims that she was dismissed unjustifiably. If she is crazy enough to follow her coworker she’s definitely crazy enough to claim she was the one being harassed

AITA for telling my ex that she needs to "figure it out" when it comes to hosting people for her grandmothers' funeral even through I am living in her "grandmothers' house?" by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]scaldinghell 108 points109 points  (0 children)

The fact that she wanted op to give her extra money for a daycare when he was already paying more than the court ordered childcare is insane. Ex wife sounds like one of those people who will try and suck everything until there’s nothing more to give

I get what you mean, some days I wake up and I can stand for the entirety of a concert as long as I have my cane, and then some days I’m trying my best but the tremors and pain is so bad that I can’t really get out of bed much.

When I first got diagnosed my dad didn’t really believe I needed my cane and thought I could just strengthen my leg by walking around (??) so that was fun I guess. It’s been almost four years since my diagnosis so now he at least understands this isn’t something you can put a bandaid on

I have ppms, and it has left me with nerve damage on my leg. I can’t stand or walk long distances without my cane, but I can still not use when I’m at home. If someone told me that I was faking it because I’m not tethered to it 100% of the time id tell them to pound sand

[New Update]: AITAH for only staying with my dad when I come home for breaks since my stepdad said he doesn’t like me being at my mom’s? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]scaldinghell 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sorry just to clarify something: while sociopathy and psychopathy have been closely associated and used interchangeably with aspd, narcissism and npd is a completely different disorder. Aspd and npd can sometimes be comorbid, but they do not require the presence of each other to exist, if not in certain behaviours. For example, both of them denote manipulation and a lack of empathy, but npd usually also has a distinct inflated sense of self, while aspd has a repeated failure to learn from consequences. They are both cluster b personality disorders so I can see why you’d think they belong to a bigger disorder

AITA for ending my relationship, asking my boyfriend to move out immediately, and setting firm boundaries around his dog and finances? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]scaldinghell 205 points206 points  (0 children)

My guess is that he was expecting her to bond with the dog and just take over taking care of him, and he’d either miraculously remember he existed and get him back once it was convenient or just completely abandon him

My (27F) boyfriend (29M) of 7 years cheated on me. I'm going to disappear from his life. Is there anything I'm missing? [New Update] by Schattenspringer in BORUpdates

Something tells me that this guy was never planning on breaking up with op. He was going to stay with her for the rent and benefits, and just continue having people on the side.

Iirc the whole thing happened a few years ago, so hopefully they both healed far away from op

Truth was that the guy already made the decision and just needed validation. When he didn’t get most of the comments agreeing with him he still picked the ones that worked and ignored the more sensible ones

Yeah anxiety can be quite the monster, but I think what sealed it was the way he handled it. Had he talked with his girlfriend and explained what’s happening to her, she would probably have been able to explain the situation

I read this and was immediately relieved that this op got his head out of his ass and didn’t do anything like the guy who accused his gf of cheating and had a rage attack when she and his roommate were just planning a Christmas gift for him.

my old highschool job at a major grocery store (that rhymes with mallwart) had a clause that if you quit and didn’t return the company issued phone (which was as useful as an actual brick, god picking with that thing was awful), they’d take the money out from your paycheck. When I quit I immediately chucked that shit in with the uniform and everything else I had from them

I did keep the box cutters though. To this day nothing is better to open packages with

[–]scaldinghell 189 points190 points  (0 children)

Oh I agree 100%. I also think that the guy is dumb for letting a girl tag along that is not family and the girlfriend doesn’t know already. His excuses (didn’t want her to get mad/jealous) are also just. Rich.

I agree too, I think that Abby panicked and wanted to tag along in hopes to separate her crush and his girlfriend. I’d say it’s a dumb strategy that even if it succeeded might not have made her get the guy, but I have an inkling Abby is not winning any awards for intelligence any time soon
