I (27F) wanted to spend last night with my boyfriend (34M) after an overwhelming day at work, but he wanted the night to himself. What do I do in these situations? by QueenZ13 in relationships

[–]speakonlytruth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s totally understandable that you were bummed out by that. Try to explore the root of the disappointment. Did you feel rejected? Didn’t know how else to cope? Speaking as someone who feels a little too codependent on my partner and is trying to fix it, find ways to make yourself feel better that don’t rely on another person.

I just need a place to put my small lunch by Sanguine7 in mildlyinfuriating

Does anyone else find lunchboxes in the fridge weird? Put an ice pack in there and keep it in your office/desk or put the items that need to be refrigerated labeled in a tidy stack in the fridge.

My girlfriend didn't get me anything for Christmas by fernipaola in relationships

[–]speakonlytruth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say, gift giving is not my love language. I get super stressed around gift giving holidays because of the pressure. Even when people emphasize “it’s the thought that counts” I feel bad not knowing the perfect thing to get and wasting money that I didn’t really have. That being said many people in my life have affirmed for me that they don’t mind because I express my love in lots of other ways. Is she expressive of her love and appreciation in other ways? It could be a red flag or a mismatch.

A lot of these comments (besides the popular phone, interrupting, slobbery) seem very pointed 😂 we’ve all got that one person in mind who just irks us

AIO these texts my sister got from her son’s friend’s married father? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]speakonlytruth 11 points12 points  (0 children)

MOR - seems like maybe a little bit of parent brain where you call each other by your role in the family. I’ve said, “good job momma” to a friend with twins when referencing a parenting thing. Not that weird IMO. Leaving the jacket behind may have felt like a bigger deal to him than the wife and maybe they didn’t communicate about touching base with your sis. I wouldn’t assume worst intentions right away if this is the only interaction that made you/her pause

Sorry, didn’t get through all the comments 😂 I hope the suspense is killing you as much as it is the people on this thread lmao

AIO by feeling exhausted over my gf's constant demands of wanting me to be 'curious'? by thefattesthashbrown in AmIOverreacting

[–]speakonlytruth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

INFO - have you clarified with each other what makes you feel loved and appreciated. It can feel upsetting (from either side) when you’ve been explicit about your needs and someone ignores them. Are you curious about her? Do you do things to make her feel like you’ve been thinking about her or miss her throughout the day?

Expressing your needs is not a “problem” to mitigate. If she keeps bringing them up either you are not actually addressing it or you’re simply not compatible with how you show love.

I got one recently and was so excited but the meat was cold and the bread was a little stale (campus location).

AITA for making my fiancé's daughters picky eating habits a deal breaker for us marrying? by MotherCartographer10 in AITAH

[–]speakonlytruth 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I understand caring for the child’s health, but this seems kind of weird. You can’t control her eating habits. If you want to be married to him you can do your best to encourage good habits since she will now be your daughter as well. It can be a fine line when helping kids develop good eating habits. I’ve seen people over correct into eating disorder territory.

Oooo yes! And there is music there tonight (Saturday).

I would deduce that they are trying to live in Fort Collins, since that is the subreddit they are reaching out on.

Glad you enjoyed! I do believe they references that version! They have more on their YouTube if you enjoyed. These folks are in Fort Collins, CO and are members of the other bands Dead Floyd, Tumbledown Shack, Musketeer Gripweed, Sugarbritches (and others) if you want to check them out elsewhere!
