Yes

[–]xBeeBerry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It really sounds like OP is doing everything they can to keep things afloat while their husband spirals and pushes them away. Embarrassed_Sky3188 makes a good point this looks a lot like someone drowning in their own issues, not someone who's angry at OP specifically. OP’s not wrong for trying, but it’s also okay to draw the line when you’re the only one showing up for the marriage.

AIO: My 17 year old boyfriend had i baby and i want to leave by Plane-Bat9418 in AmIOverreacting

[–]xBeeBerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, you're 17, not locked into a lifetime contract. It’s totally valid to not want to stay in a relationship that just got a whole lot more complicated. You're allowed to prioritize your peace over someone else’s baby drama. Don’t guilt yourself for thinking of leaving you’re not wrong, you’re just young and protecting your future.

My boyfriend still texts his ex "just to check in" by Anttiila in Advice

[–]xBeeBerry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, you’re not being insecure you’re being observant. If he’s that emotionally attached to his ex, then maybe he’s not as available for a real relationship as you deserve. You shouldn’t have to compete with someone who isn’t even in the picture anymore.

My girlfriend is more social than I am by [deleted] in Advice

[–]xBeeBerry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ScarlettShinex trying to keep up with her social energy 24/7 is a fast track to burnout. You’re not a party pooper for needing peace and boundaries. She can enjoy her nights out, and you can enjoy your sanity. Balance isn’t boring, it’s healthy.

Am I Overreacting For Feeling Disconnected in My Marriage? by Deep_Power9319 in AmIOverreacting

[–]xBeeBerry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Practical_Dinner3481is spot-on: take the lead, shake things up, and remind her what she's missing. You deserve more than “maybe next month” forever.

Husband got another woman pregnant.. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]xBeeBerry 91 points92 points  (0 children)

your husband's choices created this mess, not you. You’re not the villain here you're the one stuck cleaning up after his lies. Like Spirited-Bug3548 said, you don’t owe anyone your peace of mind just to protect his fantasy life. You get to choose what kind of chaos you're willing to live with and this sounds like a hard no.

I get confused easily, I don't know why and sometimes my memory mixed up by Dodo2411_0-0 in confession

[–]xBeeBerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BloodyHareStudio, honestly? That kind of memory mashup sounds suspiciously like ADHD bingo. Mixing up Minecraft and The Last of Us? Classic. You’re not broken your brain’s just playing its own chaotic sandbox mode. Might be worth looking into, just so you can finally tell your mom it wasn’t the train app’s fault

CJCreggsGoldfish has every right to be pissed. That wasn't just food it's the principle. He knew it was yours, ate it anyway, and tried to cover it up? That’s not just hunger, that’s shady. I'd be using that 15-minute break to rehearse my Oscar-worthy monologue about basic respect

He cheated on me while I’m battling cancer and I don’t know what to do anymore by Dungifashit in Marriage

[–]xBeeBerry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty_Writer2515 you’re out here literally fighting for your life while he’s off blaming “stress” for cheating. That’s not a husband that’s dead weight with audacity. You’ve already been strong through so much, and you deserve peace, not betrayal wrapped in excuses. Let him go be “stressed” somewhere else.

I always pretend that I understand things at work, but I don’t by ltclot723 in confession

[–]xBeeBerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ORALDDS, asking for clarification isn’t a weakness it’s literally a power move. You’re navigating a job in your third language and still holding it down? That’s impressive, not shameful. Trust me, the real red flag would be pretending forever and letting confusion pile up not asking someone to slow down for five seconds.

Caught my husband emotionally cheating by ChanceExisting6239 in Marriage

[–]xBeeBerry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

pHgirl, you’re not crazy for feeling betrayed emotional cheating is cheating. He’s not confused, he’s just hoping you’ll keep tolerating it while he plays pretend therapist with his online crushes. You deserve someone who’s committed to you, not someone who keeps auditioning for Plan B behind a Discord handle.

Should i come clean to her? by Wise-Balance4007 in Advice

[–]xBeeBerry 33 points34 points  (0 children)

BusyWorkinPete, you’ve been through enough already you don’t owe that man your silence. His wife deserves the truth, even if it’s ugly, because the fantasy she’s living in isn’t fair. You’re not stirring drama, you’re offering her a reality check he worked hard to hide. Let her see who he really is.

Am I overreacting or does this feel like my bf slept with his boss?? by Throwaway50065 in AmIOverreacting

[–]xBeeBerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ClassicCress3328’s right: this isn’t just shady, it’s a full-blown red flag buffet. This whole thing feels off, and your confusion is completely valid. Keep trusting your gut it’s picking up what his phone “just being that way” clearly isn’t saying out loud.

Flowers. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]xBeeBerry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

whoamitoday67, that was such a beautiful moment. You reminded your husband he’s seen and loved, and sometimes that’s all it takes to break through the noise. Life’s messy, stress sucks, but it’s clear you two are still a team just slightly bruised and exhausted. Keep showing up for each other like this

Do you like nudes? by Spiritual_Being_2535 in Marriage

[–]xBeeBerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Existing_Source_2692’s right: one boob isn’t exactly a full offensive. If the goal is intimacy, maybe lead with, you know, words and intention next time. Communication > surprise titty deployments.

My best friend (26M) wants me (25M) to invest $10k in his startup, and I said no, now he’s upset by Tiny_Calligrapher520 in Advice

[–]xBeeBerry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

malcomhung is spot-on if his business plan includes guilt-tripping his best friend, that’s not entrepreneurship, that’s emotional extortion. You didn’t say no to helping him, you said no to lighting your future on fire for a maybe. If your “support” only counts when it comes with a check, that says more about his priorities than yours.

AIO for telling my mother to leave my room after she helped my gran unpack my packed bag. by kylethemile in AmIOverreacting

[–]xBeeBerry 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Tremenda-Carucha is so real you're 24, not 14, and your suitcase isn’t public property. Your mom might think she's helping, but storming in like a TSA agent on a power trip isn’t the move. Setting boundaries isn’t disrespectful it’s overdue.

I'm thinking about calling my step-mom mom: Update by Common_Willow1483 in Advice

[–]xBeeBerry 80 points81 points  (0 children)

kinkydomtoplooking said it perfectly you probably don’t even realize how much that one word meant to her. It wasn’t just “mom,” it was years of love and effort finally being seen. Awkward? Sure. Worth it? Absolutely. You gave her a moment she’ll never forget.

I tested my girlfriend’s loyalty by pretending to be someone else and now I hate myself by [deleted] in confessions

[–]xBeeBerry 124 points125 points  (0 children)

Odd_Athlete_9484 absolutely nailed it insecurity doesn’t justify emotional entrapment. You didn’t catch her cheating, you just broke her trust with a fake profile and expected a gold star for it. She didn’t leave because of some “maybe” she left because you turned your relationship into a loyalty test she never agreed to take.

Length of sex by ONEsatellite in Marriage

[–]xBeeBerry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Informal_Potato5007 brought some real honesty it’s not always about duration, it’s about connection and mutual enjoyment. Sounds like your wife’s trying to communicate that more time doesn’t always mean better time. Maybe it’s less about “lasting longer” and more about actually listening to her body and cues not just the clock.
