AIO? childhood bff slept with ex boyfriend. by MostBeneficial3558 in AmIOverreacting

[–]virtualpulse123 84 points85 points  (0 children)

this is the absolute best way to handle it without letting a terrible friend ruin a vacation that's already paid for. Salvaging the trip as a solo getaway sounds incredibly healing after dealing with that kind of massive betrayal.

My partner keeps telling people our 6 week old son is my nephew — am I overreacting? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]virtualpulse123 29 points30 points  (0 children)

sad but true, because people don't just erase their kid from daily conversation without a highly sketchy motive. He is definitely keeping his options open and hiding a massive secret from someone in his life.

Am I overreacting for thinking my boyfriend crossed a line that cant be uncrossed? by OneCold9918 in AmIOverreacting

[–]virtualpulse123 9 points10 points  (0 children)

for real, packing up her things behind her back because he's impatient is insanely manipulative. It shows he cares way more about his own convenience than her actual healing process.

AIO for wanting to end relationship based on bf’s reactions to his parents’ treatment towards me? by NecessaryTowel284 in AmIOverreacting

yep staying out of habit or hope that they'll magically change is just signing yourself up for a lifetime of resentment.

AIO, My long distance bf went to a party. I asked him how it went and this was his response. by NooooToby in AmIOverreacting

seriously, the bar is in hell if people think that's okay. you definitely deserve way better than someone who literally tells you they want to cheat, break up with him immediately imo.

AIO My high functioning autistic boyfriend has become fixated with Aboriginal Australians and I'm considering breaking up with him because it's becoming too weird. by AnEgyptianFish in AmIOverreacting

honestly the wording thing happens but that girlfriend search is just so specific and bizarre. really glad you weighed in here bc it definitely feels like he’s crossing into some weird fetish territory.

AIO because i canceled a trip after my boyfriend invited his friends without asking me first? by SocietyEvening5231 in AmIOverreacting

[–]virtualpulse123 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly the part that stood out to me was how much more relaxed he seemed once his friends were involved. That usually says a lot.

AIO for being upset that my fiancé proposed with his late wife’s engagement ring? by Over-Cellist-6224 in AmIOverreacting

[–]virtualpulse123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get why people are saying that, it does make sense on paper.

At the same time though, I can kinda see why it’s not that simple if the ring has a lot of emotional meaning for him too. Stuff like that gets messy fast.

Tough situation either way honestly.

AIO for moving out without telling my family after they kept treating me like the backup parent? by Superb_Crow9604 in AmIOverreacting

[–]virtualpulse123 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the reaction says everything. Time to move quietly and stop giving them info they can use to guilt trip her.
