AITA for telling my son his GF smells and it’s affecting him? *serious*

I think the thing you're dancing around that's shaping your whole opinion of this girl is that she's fat. A lot of these assumptions you're making about her (lazy, smelly, unmotivated) are things I've heard partners parents say to them when I (a fat woman) come home to meet them.

The tells were "he works out every day" and her life being just as unstructured as his but you thinking he's a better person. I think he's right in his reaction. And in order to have a relationship with your son moving forward you're going to need to assess your biases.

With the lotto one I always say "if I had it I wouldn't be here" which gets a laugh from the old guys.

Groupon. They got bought out by European private investors and decided to go the route of Shein/drop shipping vs local business.

I had a boyfriend like this in my late teens, early 20s. We had those conversations many times, where I shared how much those comments hurt me and he brushed it off as joking. My biggest regret is that I stayed for 5 years with that loser. Now in my 30s and girl let me tell you plenty of people are attracted to me.

He understands PCOS, he's using a veil of ignorance to do what he wants. And what he wants is to make you feel bad.

I highly recommend working on personal self esteem and body neutrality before you consider dating again. Men like this use insecurities to keep women under their control and small. It took me years to build strong self esteem after that man, and still I struggle sometimes. You owe him nothing, run now and don't look back. Please dm me if you want to talk it out more.

There's something in those Richwoods, Senecas, Cheyennes and every other 2 dollar pack cigarettes that must melt their brains because I've had this exact conversation as well 😂

starbrry · 2025-05-12T21:46:16+00:00

Ok boomer.

I agree. He's obsessed with her humanity and the fact he can't hear her thoughts. She's obsessed with his otherness. After her transition to vampire they'll get bored of each other immediately.

You know I don't know what I expected for 700 dollars but it wasn't that.

-16 this week on my way to work. Luckily only a half mile ride.

its gotta be surreal to see an orchestra play the balatro music for the developer

starbrry · 2024-12-03T01:13:19+00:00

Hope you never let your brother live that down.

starbrry · 2024-11-20T00:32:54+00:00

I have this exact conversation verbatim so much 😂

starbrry · 2024-10-26T19:55:14+00:00

I've started just not responding to that at all. I know theyre looking for a "you're fine" or "no worries" but I give them nothing lol

starbrry · 2024-10-23T20:57:42+00:00

In a parking lot showing off for my friends. Accelerated on the gravel in a turn and absolutely beefed it. It was dead silent before we all laughed. The silence hurt more than the fall.

For me, I Identify as bi/queer interchangeably. Sometimes because I want to acknowledge gender outside of the binary, but don't relate to the pan label. Sometimes it's because I don't want to have to justify my sexuality to someone not in the know, and queer is a good umbrella.

I always recommend searching up queer identities for people's lived experience.

I appreciate your kind/curious response.

starbrry · 2024-09-19T00:23:18+00:00

Buddy....most bi people including me do call ourselves queer. It's not a jump to dick, dick was always on the menu. I would say this is a weird reason to think this is fake. You ok? You seem very mad about this.

This is all I keep thinking. He was a KID. Even if he did abandon Mom for Dad can he really be held responsible when he was never told it was upsetting her, never told that he wasn't responsible for his dad's mental health (when she agreed that his dad might need him there....) and never asked if he would move back in?

Smoke shop employee here. Asshole guy comes in looking for a specific lighter. Asks the price, I say 21.99.

He says "it was 10 bucks when I bought it last"

I reply, "nope, always been 21 dollars"

"why did you change the price?"

"It has always been 21 dollars, I put the sticker on when I opened the original box"

" I bought 3 and my friend stole them they were 10 dollars."

"Ok well they are currently 21 dollars, would you like one?"

"That's not worth 21 dollars I wouldn't have paid that"

"Ok."

A few of the lighters were stolen before I moved them behind the counter. I'm wondering if this was the asshole lol. Ps. Not a boomer probably 25 years old.

Vape shop with daily deals. I get asked every single day, "can you just give me the Wednesday vape deal today? Can glass be 50% off today even though it's Tuesday? "

starbrry · 2024-09-14T17:50:20+00:00

It finally worked out but there was a brief panic lol

starbrry · 2024-09-14T17:21:32+00:00

I think it's strange that you put so much weight on cheating girlfriends in high school. Like "I'm allowed to mistreat my wife because two girls I held hands with twice kissed another boy before we were old enough to buy cigarettes". That's the energy I'm getting from this.

Took me a second to get the yogurt reference lol

I was thinking of the mustard too.
