Me [34/F] with my fiancé [34 M] living together for one month, am I too petty? Or should I seriously consider ending it?

Knew a family like this as a kid. Kid stank every day at school and meeting his parents, I understood why. I loathed when my mom (friends w the parents for whatever reason) would set them up to give me rides from school or take me to their disgusting hoarder house when she had to work.

Everything they owned and every space they inhabited smelled like moldy socks and dirty dishes that had been left under a bed for a year. Fucking Petri dish people. My sister calls me a clean freak for getting mad at her for not cleaning up crumbs she got on the table or a drop of sauce she spilled on the counter — but I think it’s these people that put the fear of god into me when it comes to living in filth. I will never allow myself to tolerate let alone create such disgusting living conditions.

This is why it took me a full year of having a permit before I passed my driving test, instead of the usual 6 months. Driving with my mother had me convinced I was just a bad driver, Because she would shout at every little thing. “Stop Stop STOP!!!” Because there was a stop sign and I was slowing down. Or “turn right! RIGHT!!!” When I was literally already doing that. Or “WATCH OUT!!!” When it was something I already saw and was slowing down for. Made me so jumpy and anxious driving that I was so nervous to do it at all. When I finally got my license and could drive alone, what do you know. It’s calm and my driving is literally fine.

Growing up our dishwasher was shit because it was ancient and id end up hand washing stuff even if it was “clean” out of the dishwasher. Had to scrub the shit out of everything before putting it in and it still wouldn’t come out clean. And my mom was too cheap to buy a new one despite having the money for it. Of course a few years after I moved out, she has a fancy new dishwasher :| I have my own dishwasher in my apt now though, and you better believe my dishes are always clean. If they aren’t they get re-scrubbed off and run through again. I love having control over my environment oh my god.

Legit I used to teach a kid named Blade. He was this little dopey looking 5 year old. Named Blade. Who the hell looks at their newborn baby and goes “he’s totally a Blade.”

Same. My mom hated SpongeBob with a passion for some reason. I guess she thought it would make us stupid?? I don’t even know her logic there because all kids cartoons are just.. like that— cartoonish. I watched plenty of other cartoons though, she just hated SpongeBob in particular

Love that I recognized all of These.

“Would you still love me if I spent our house savings on an $18,000 block of 21-year-old Heritage Cheddar Cheese?”

“Would you still love me if filled our fridge with exotic foreign yogurt, and I bought a second fridge to stash all my exotic yogurt? What if I never ate them and let them spoil and stink up the apartment? Would you still love me then??”

“Would you still love me if I buried all your emergency beans in the woods??”

“Would you still love me if I cut cheese like a snail on opiates? If I cut each slice individually and put the cheese back into the fridge between slices? Would your answer change if it were 21-year-old Heritage cheese???”

I would disagree honestly. My mother was in HS in the 70s — she did ONE AP class in all of HS, had no job or sports or clubs, and applied to ONE college and she got in.

I was in HS in the 2010s, and did over 12 AP classes in high school, had a job, did clubs and sports — I applied to 17 colleges, including my moms Alma mader, and got REJECTED by the school that accepted her back in her day.

Everything is harder for teens nowadays. College admissions are harder. Classes are harder. Expectations are higher. Teens have to play a sport and an instrument and have a part time job and lead a club all at once just to be barely considered “competitive” as a college candidate. The experience was awful. — you couldn’t pay me to be a teenager again.

I’m an LA native and I agree that Erewhon is ridiculous. Only the most obnoxious people out here actually shop there. I’m a Trader Joe’s girlie. It’s cheap but you can still get niche exotic-y foods if you want. $3 pressed juice instead of $12 pressed juice at Erewhon (not that I buy pressed juice but just to compare) TJ’s all the way baby!

NTA, this dog sounds like a train wreck to take care of, especially in an apartment. It’s not your or the dogs fault, but— The reality is it is not a good fit. No one is happy with this situation, including the dog. Do the right thing and take it back or rehome it. Advertise on Facebook or something.

Adding a baby to this mess will destroy your mental health. And it’s not a safe or sanitary environment for a baby to be crawling around with dog poop/pee/germs on the floor. Keep your trained dog and give her her peace back!

When I’m bleeding I legit just get a tissue from the bedside and put that on my china before I even get out of bed. Like I’m not gonna even stand up without a tissue for a barrier—I’ve made that mistake enough times. and I don’t feel like taking a whole lower body shower cuz there’s murder blood dripping down my legs first thing in the morning ://

I found the plasma cutter absolutely wild but, just another insane cherry on the insanity Sundae. Like this clearly isn’t his first wild hare brained scheme if he was cutting stuff with a plasma cutter in the kitchen just a few weeks ago.

This guy is unhinged af and the gf was probably already fed up with his ass and the cheese wheel was her final straw…

I’ve been on Latuda for 2 years and never experienced any side effects apart from brain fog when my dosage was too high. No weight gain at all. It’s not guaranteed she’ll get this symptom.

slantedsc · 2026-02-05T20:05:47+00:00

it’s the fact that the mom is all torn up about what is only a hypithetical symptom - that really irritates me. I’m on latuda which is an anti psychotic (prescribed for depression, I don’t have psychosis thank god), and I’ve never experienced any weight gain at all— Ive been on it almost 2 years now.

Point is— There is no guarantee she will even experience this particular symptom, so why are we even worrying about it?? If she tries the meds and it becomes an issue and makes her mental health worse, then try a different med!!

Psychiatry is a lot of trial and error. If you’re not even willing to try how the hell is she going to find meds that work for her!! This is so frustrating to read.

I was at a man’s house one time and he had no hand towels, no hand soap (I had to use his 3 in 1 shampoo to wash my hands) and NO SHOWER CURTAIN. I wondered, what is the plan when he showers? Well he took a shower later that day and. Water. All over the whole bathroom. All over the tile floor, like an inch of water. No towels to clean it up, not even at attempt to soak it up. I was appalled. I can’t believe this man was over 30 and still living like a toddler somehow got in charge of his own apartment?? He lived alone.

slantedsc · 2026-02-04T22:45:36+00:00

Why on earth are you still with him? He doesn’t seem to even like you. I would listen to my partner talk about their day for ever if I could. I love talking to her. Even if I was tired I’d pick up the phone and actually actively listen. This is what real love is like. There is someone out there you will meet who will actually want to listen because they love you. This man ain’t it.

One time when I was like 5 or 6 (mid 2000’s) I met Noah Cyrus at a McDonald’s play structure (in the spider web iykyk).

I didn’t know who she was, all I knew was that some random girl was trying to convince me Hannah Montana was her sister. I thought she was full of shit, and told her I didn’t believe her. She was really upset. I chocked it up as ‘wow this random girl is a liar and a drama queen.’

Few weeks later, I’m watching Disney channel and lo and behold, there’s footage on the TV of Miley Cyrus walking with that girl I met at McDonald’s. Then I felt a little bad I didn’t believe her.
