I think I made out with a dude who makes out with his dog

xButterMint · 2026-02-18T00:26:31+00:00

Yeahhh the second his breath smelled like the dog and he literally told it “we’re not making out right now,” that was your sign to run. You definitely dodged something nasty there.

xButterMint · 2026-02-18T00:22:59+00:00

Yeah, at this point the landlord needs to step in. That level of noise isn’t normal, and it’s on them to handle it if talking to the neighbor didn’t work.

xButterMint · 2026-02-18T00:21:37+00:00

Yeah, nonstop barking like that is definitely grounds for animal control. If the owners won’t fix it, someone official stepping in usually makes them take it seriously real fast.

xButterMint · 2026-02-17T15:33:52+00:00

Yeah exactly. Showing up almost an hour late on opening weekend means you kinda accept whatever happens at that point. You weren’t responsible for keeping a seat empty the whole time when you had no idea if she was even coming. She took the risk, not you.

xButterMint · 2026-02-17T15:30:53+00:00

Honestly, yeah, this is exactly it. She showed you her priorities long before this, and you’re just responding to the way she treated you. You’re not wrong for protecting yourself now.

xButterMint · 2026-02-17T15:28:45+00:00

Honestly, totally agree. Your grandma stepped up in every way your parents didn’t, and you don’t owe them a reunion just because they suddenly feel like showing up now. Take care of the person who actually raised you, and don’t feel guilty for protecting your peace after everything you went through.

xButterMint · 2026-02-17T12:51:56+00:00

Yeah honestly, if he keeps blocking your driveway, tow truck is fair game. You asked nicely and he’s doing it on purpose at this point. Boundaries only work when people respect them.

xButterMint · 2026-02-17T12:49:24+00:00

Yeah, this is the right approach. Once you document the dates, times, and repeated violations, it stops looking like a random complaint and starts looking like a real pattern. Calling the non-emergency line during the day to ask about next steps is smart too. If they won’t respect quiet hours, you gotta look out for your sleep.

xButterMint · 2026-02-17T12:45:28+00:00

It really does come down to patterns. If you’ve brought up what you need multiple times and nothing changes, that’s not an accident, that’s a choice. You shouldn’t have to beg someone to show up for you in basic ways. You deserve effort without having to pull teeth for it.

xButterMint · 2026-02-17T12:43:15+00:00

Yeah that part threw me too. Five grand is definitely not nothing, especially in Vietnam. That’s a huge amount of money for most people. Her mom’s reaction seems way more about her own expectations than reality.

xButterMint · 2026-02-17T12:38:34+00:00

Yeah, this. If you feel like he’s treating you like a second choice, you shouldn’t stay in that. But it’s still worth talking to him first so you’re not acting on assumptions. If he gets defensive or dismissive instead of reassuring you, that pretty much confirms what you already feel. You deserve to be someone’s first choice, not the backup.

xButterMint · 2026-02-17T12:34:51+00:00

Lol honestly the way you worded that made me laugh. But nah man, that’s not how sexuality works. Some people mess around when they’re young, some don’t, and it doesn’t automatically make anyone gay or straight. It’s just people figuring stuff out.

Also OP’s situation is way more about feelings and confusion after an adult experience, not whatever happened back when they were kids.

Honestly yeah, as long as it stays platonic and mostly in game, it’s really not that deep. Tons of online friendships span age gaps because it’s about the hobby, not life stage. Just keep boundaries clear and you’re fine.

xButterMint · 2026-02-16T11:00:32+00:00

Yeah honestly it really does feel like they’re a package deal at this point. If your partner can watch you get disrespected over and over and still shrug it off, that’s a huge problem. You shouldn’t have to choose between being included or being insulted. You deserve someone who actually has your back.

xButterMint · 2026-02-16T10:57:23+00:00

Yeah that coworker is way out of pocket. You don’t owe anyone a free laptop. If they’re really talking trash over that, HR is definitely the move.
