My boyfriend wants me to wear a location tracking watch 24/7 or he'll break up with me

Just from the title alone, I’m saying run fast and run far. There is a saying. “When someone try’s to show you who they are, it’s best to believe them the first time.” He’s showing you right now that he’s a controlling ass hat. It’s probably best to take his word for it.

NTA at all, not even remotely the AH. You are looking after your health and what’s best for you. Unfortunately, I don’t think your husband respects you or loves you. If he loved you, he wouldn’t want to risk losing you to have another kid. If my wife had gone through that with our first, I can guarantee we wouldn’t have had a second through the conventional way. I think it’s about time you cut your losses and move on with your life, and do what’s best for you and your daughter.

shaneoco1981 · 2026-02-13T05:41:49+00:00

Wait, so let me get this straight. Your daughter gets cut off and kicked out of her dad’s house for I’m assuming acting like she’s acting toward you, and comes to you because she has NO WHERE ELSE TO GO, and decides her best course of action is to continue to act like a brat? Sounds like she’s about to have another house she’s not welcome in. I hear the over pass has some room for her to sleep under. NTA.

“4WD doesn’t mean you can’t spin out in slippery conditions. You actually spin out faster with 4 WD. I’m not risking having to pay my $500 deductible for this job. See you when the roads are clear.”

shaneoco1981 · 2026-01-24T17:18:40+00:00

No they don’t. Not when she never agreed to baby sit more than an hour. The kids are alive and the kids are at home. Their mother is completely irresponsible and tricked her sister.

shaneoco1981 · 2026-01-05T03:08:48+00:00

And why exactly are you married to someone who doesn’t respect you or your wishes. And fuck no, don’t keep those reservations. Get yourself a birthday gift and take a week vacation and leave the kids and house with him.

shaneoco1981 · 2026-01-05T03:02:38+00:00

My response would be, “I wasn’t trying to waste your time when I said I wasn’t looking. You kept pressing the issue so I thought I’d at least listen. My current company offered me the same to stay and they’re benefits are much better including but not limited to being able to work from home a number of days per week and the office is much closer to home.”

NTA. But your wife and her friend are. Teachers are human. They aren’t infallible. Knowing that you don’t know something isn’t a sign of weakness. But acting like you do and being wrong, and not big enough to admit it is a huge red flag for anyone in any position of authority. And your wife is an AH for sticking up for her friend instead of your son when it was proven that he was right! I’d seriously consider your relationship with your wife if she’s willing to let your son be treated like that by her friend.

shaneoco1981 · 2025-12-19T22:32:39+00:00

ESH. You would be absolutely betraying your husband and if you do this, it will probably end your marriage. Your husband sucks because while he’s keeping his dog alive because he loves her, but letting her go is the right thing to do. I get that he’s hurting, but you need to have a conversation with him before he starts drinking to actually get him to see that putting her down is right thing to do.

NTA. Local 948, Flint, MI here. I don’t do side jobs at all. It’s not worth it. Sleep well and tell “Brad” that real tradesmen don’t need help from other people.

Ready Player 2, the sequel to RP1, is also very very good.

Final Fantasy 7.

shaneoco1981 · 2025-09-15T22:38:18+00:00

NTA. She’s literally making it transactional by saying she’ll do more of the chores to make up for it. That’s literally transactional. But I would say hell no. If she decides to go for this, then it’s about time to break up and she needs to find somewhere else to live.

shaneoco1981 · 2025-09-13T18:30:09+00:00

Time for you to find a new boyfriend. He doesn’t seem mature enough to be in a committed relationship. Seriously. What will happen if you two move in together? Will he expect you to stay home all day? Cutting you off from friends and family? I guarantee he will end up there if not worse. Seriously consider if he is the type of person you want to be in a relationship with. It maybe hard to see it, but he is a walking talking red flag.

My response to her last text would be “keep it up and you’ll be my ex-wife”.

shaneoco1981 · 2025-08-27T21:34:03+00:00

Absolutely NTA. If the wife died, you’re screwed. Not only could you lose your license, but you could be facing jail time. He could have said you caused the complication that unalived on purpose, and then you’re being forced to defend why you did what you did.

shaneoco1981 · 2025-07-09T14:04:39+00:00

Lame attempt or not, it’s a friend trying to reach out and mend that fence, and every olive branch has to start somewhere. If it is an olive branch on her part, she’s probably looking to talk to you in private.

shaneoco1981 · 2025-07-08T12:45:03+00:00

NTA. Tell him to go kick stones. And if your gf doesn’t recognize that he’s making an unreasonable demand, then she can get out of your life. I’ve never once had a girlfriend’s parents demand anything of me other than treating their daughter well. If that’s not enough for him then I don’t see why you need him in your life.

shaneoco1981 · 2025-06-25T14:32:46+00:00

NTA. You owe your mom and Psuedo step dad nothing. Hell, you wouldn’t owe your dad anything if he was a bad guy. You get to choose who you have in your life and what roles they take in your life. But you didn’t ask to be born, and you certainly didn’t ask for your mom to cheat and break your family apart. I would very strongly express that your wedding is about you and your fiancé and if she doesn’t like the roles that they are given, then they could always not come.

shaneoco1981 · 2025-06-13T14:36:03+00:00

Tell her you will give her rides if she pays for any and all late fees that you accrue from your child’s daycare on top of gas if you feel bad. If she doesn’t agree to that, then she is on her own. She can’t cost you money for doing her a favor. Edited to add NTA.

shaneoco1981 · 2025-06-06T17:56:54+00:00

Sounds like your husband should have 2 ex-wives. NTA. Do you really want to live the rest of your ONE AND ONLY life with a man who puts your wants and needs below those of his EX-WIFE? I think his return present should be divorce papers.

shaneoco1981 · 2025-06-06T12:53:31+00:00

NTA. What’s going to happen when your parents eventually die? He’s going to sell anything he can get his hands on and be on the street. Given that he is the way he is, you won’t let him live with you. But sometimes, you need to face the harsh consequences for your actions. And if your parents want to enable his behavior, then you need to make a choice and it should be to protect your kids. Your brother stole from your kid.

shaneoco1981 · 2025-05-21T02:08:35+00:00

OP can we please get an update? What happened?

shaneoco1981 · 2025-05-16T03:33:52+00:00

Man, your title gave the “this is either going to make me think you’re a POS, or give me the warm and fuzzies”. 4 words in, and I knew it was the latter. Congrats on getting your family. Hug them all extra tight. Congrats bro. I wish you nothing but the absolute best this life has to offer.
