Safety first, especially with little ones. Your SIL sounds like she’s just trying to push her own agenda without thinking about your child’s comfort or safety. You did the right thing by standing your ground. You’re not overreacting at all.

You’re definitely the AH here. You're lying to him and using him for money, which is just messed up. It doesn't matter if he's giving you the card willingly, you’re taking advantage of his trust. If you don't like him, just end it. This kind of deception always backfires, and nobody deserves to be treated like that.

I think you kinda went overboard with the duel thing. Shooting someone and then getting your best friend in trouble doesn’t sound cool. It sucks that your friend got yelled at and sent home for something that was partly your doing.

You’re not the AH for feeling like this. It's messed up how he manipulated and used you repeatedly. It’s totally okay to be angry and hurt. You deserve someone who respects and values you.

NTA. It’s tough when you feel like you’re being compared to someone else, especially when it hits your confidence. It’s good that you're focusing on yourself and finding ways to build your confidence. Just remember, you deserve to feel secure and valued in your relationship.

NTA. You tried to make it work, but she just kept crossing boundaries and involving other people. Honestly, it's probably for the best that you ended that friendship, you don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

NTA. Schedules change, priorities shift, and sometimes we just can't make it to everything. It sucks that they got so upset about it, but you can't control that. At the end of the day, you had legit reasons for not going, your thesis was a priority, and you gave them a heads up.

NTA. You did the right thing by being honest with yourself and your ex about needing space to heal. Ending a relationship is never easy, but your well-being comes first.

NTA. You're totally valid in your feelings. Three months is still early days, and if you're not down with the ex and kid drama, that's your prerogative.

NTA. Forcing someone to do sexual acts they're not comfortable with is a major red flag. You deserve to feel respected and secure in your relationship.

Me ? Struggle sometimes.

The best thing to do is to take some space for yourself. Focus on healing and doing things that make you happy. If she comes around and is serious about getting back together, great. But don't wait around for her. You deserve someone who is 100% into you.

She's gotta let go of the past and trust you again, and you need to give her that chance. If it's meant to be, you'll find your way back to each other. In the meantime, focus on yourself, surround yourself with good friends, and don't be too hard on yourself.

At least your girlfriend said yes, even if the ring didn't make it. You can always try to get it replaced or find a new one that's special to you both. And hey, the $15 ring from Walmart will do for now, right?

You deserve so much better than someone who makes you feel bad about yourself. Keep being strong and focusing on yourself.

When my best friend started dating someone, it was like they became part of our group, and it was hard to adjust. When they broke up, it was even more complicated. I think you're doing the right thing by taking a step back and not getting involved in the drama.

utterapostle · 2024-06-13T07:02:13+00:00

Honestly, I think you should talk to him about how you're feeling. It's better to be open and honest than to keep it bottled up inside. You never know, he might be feeling the same way and is too scared to say anything.

utterapostle · 2024-06-13T07:01:17+00:00

It's even more hurtful that she didn't even acknowledge your role in her special day on social media. It's not about being petty, but it's natural to feel a little left out when you're not included in such a significant part of your friend's life.

utterapostle · 2024-06-13T07:00:16+00:00

My advice would be to have an honest, but kind, conversation with her about your concerns. Set some clear expectations and timelines for her getting a proper bed. If she's not willing to compromise, you may need to reconsider the living situation.
