Quotes to make boyfriend jealous

Something happened a few weeks ago that just hasn’t sat right with me. My bf is 28 and I’m 24. We were out drinking all day and ended the night at a bar. He drank a little but I was pretty drunk. We were with a big group of his friends and I also brought one of my own friends along with me. My friend was having a good time and didn’t want to leave the bar. My boyfriend was tired and wanted to go home. Granted, it had been a long day. I was caught in the middle because my friend didn’t want to leave (she would be ubering separate from us, but she isn’t close with anyone else who was with us so she wouldn’t stay without me).
He kept saying he wanted to leave. To buy time, I told him just stay for 30 more minutes. 30 minutes passes and he calls an Uber. When it gets here I’m still hesitant to leave. My friend and him are basically arguing because he wants to leave and she said that me and her were both having a good time so that’s not fair. He ends up grabbing my arm and trying to pull me towards the Uber. He didn’t pull hard but it was making a scene with me crying and him tugging my arm. I just felt so stuck and not wanting to go with him and leave my friend.
Honestly, I’m really embarrassed this happened. He doesn’t hang out with my friend too often so it really hurt that he wasn’t caring about how she’s perceiving him. She was upset by the situation as well. It’s frustrating he doesn’t care what my friend thinks of him, and more frustrating he couldn’t just wait until we were all ready to leave. Im kind of mad at both of them tbh, but way more at him that he grabbed my arm and escalated the scene.
I want to know reddits thoughts. It’s still on my mind and just hasn’t sat right. I don’t know if I’m overreacting. A really similar situation happened another time where my friend wanted to meet up with me at a bar, but she got there late. Me and my boyfriend had been there for a while and he was wanting to go home. I got him to stay longer but it honestly ruined my night anyway because I again was in tears begging him to stay. I just feel so stuck between a rock and a hard place with him and my friends. I just want to please everyone but end up sacrificing myself in the process. I wish he was willing to compromise more to make me/my friends happy. And I just want my friends to like him but it feels like he doesn’t care.
TL;DR: boyfriend grabbed my arm at a bar to try to get me to leave. I was crying and it made a scene. My friend was upset by the situation.

Bought a home 4 years ago right before Covid. Ended up moving unexpectedly several states away, don't really plan to ever move back. Owe about $155k on house off $190k loan. Zillow says $250k~, probably be +$300k if the exterior wasn't a mess. House is rented but needs serious work in near future which may not be possible. House is in a rural area and before we moved of the DOZENS of contractors that came out, not a single one gave me a quote. So i am not sure i will even be able to find someone to do the work when time comes. New wrap around deck, exterior paint, major landscaping all need done within a year or two for sure.
Good tenants inside, but profit is only about ~$100 a month if we are lucky and something doesn't come up. So mostly just paying mortgage now.
We aren't attached to the house, but I am very in the "keep it" mindset, and I'd like to at some point use equity or the house itself to buy future real estate (a new primary residence, or another investment). I'd like to hear opinions on what you would do? We have zero interest in moving back (no family that lives near there either) and I am worried about being able to maintain it from afar.
On the flip side, I've been really looking at real estate in other states and I am making enough to be able to handle another mortgage/hopefully a rental somewhere else that could potentially turn a profit or pay for itself later down the line in equity. People have been telling me to take a HELOC, but I don't quite understand how that makes sense since it would just raise my other mortgage so much more. The whole process kinda confuses me. I am not a fan of debt ($0 credit card debt. No car payment i just drive cheap vehicles) so the idea of taking any loan is kinda scary to me but it seems like that what all the big realty people do.
What would you do? I'm twenty three, by the way. If that helps

My dad and mom split up when i was a baby and i spent majority of my childhood thinking my moms boyfriend was my dad. I didnt meet my biological dad formally until i was 7-8.
People said he was my dad but i was confused because i already had a “dad” at home, i kinda just went with it but i had no idea who he really was until my grandma and him were driving me back home and i called my moms boyfriend “dad”. He was justifiably hurt but he pointed his anger at me and pushed me away further.
My grandma just wanted the best for me and allowed him around atleast a good dozen of times so we could have some type of relationship but every time would end up feeling like i was back home with my mom and her boyfriend. He would sob. Beg me to talk to him. To see him. To move in with him. I remember the pain in his eyes i cannot ever imagine putting a child through those emotions and every single time he isolated me to do that.
I barely knew him when he tried to convince me to move in the first time, he told me i could have my own room, my own dog, paint my walls, ect. It makes me sick to my stomach now looking back realizing how many times he has moved and lost his houses since then. What situations would i be put in if i was a little more desperate for a relationship with him?
Everytime i saw him he had a new girlfriend. The new girl he brought was always my “new mom” and whatever kids she brought with her were my “new siblings”.
The only somewhat good memory i have with him is when he brought me fishing in the late afternoon, we had fun and talked but if my memory is correct we ended up walking empty streets to find a bar but i dont remember going in because it was either well past alcohol time or they didnt allow child in that late.
But alas, he died this morning. He was found in his house alone wearing his favorite football jersey.
Yknow, i really didnt think i would feel much. I claimed i lost feelings for him to many people but i guess thinking about it, me checking occasionally if hes sent me another weird link or music video of facebook mightve meant something. Like that time i almost broke no contact because he sent me a photo of bbq on the grill.
But i have sobbed for a good amount of time today and nothing feels real. I was dancing on tables and fist pumping when my moms boyfriend died and i spent my whole life with him so i thought i had this day all figured out. Im scared to find out how he passed because i already have a feeling and i dont know how i would cope with that. The last time he sent me a link on facebook was Wednesday and it feels so weird.
If i could take one positive thing out of this, is that i can start visiting my grandma again without being in fear of seeing him. I can see my cousins and possibly build a relationship with their kids that i havent seen since they were babies. I dont blame my grandma for a single thing, she tried her best and kept him away as best as she could and she doesnt question my decision. She was my safe space away from my mom and boyfriends house and still takes care of me when i need help and ill always be grateful for her.
But thats about it, i have no idea where this is going to take me, just gonna go through the motions.

To start with I want to state that I am normally not bothered by anything of this nature, but for some reason I cant get it off my mind. I try not to be controlling in the relationship although I have set my boundaries with her. I have never seen her do this thing before/ mention it and I haven't heard of any other people doing it.
So my (m22) girlfriend (f21) have been together for several years now. She has recently been hiding her phone from me on occasion (which I know is a red flag if they do it often) but she has never been like that before. One day I was in the car driving home when I look over at her she's reading what looks like a reddit chat and is deep in thought. I ask her what's she's reading, only bc it looks likes she very interested in it and she normal shares what the post is about. She responds "oh just one of those reddit drama posts" which is fine, but then she proceeds to turn her phone from me slightly before quickly laying it facedown. She also has been randomly wanting to have more of a sex energy than normal (which im completely happy with) but she is also bringing up new things to try in the bedroom which she has never been that way and always tells me to go slow and be careful ( which im also fine with). Its has had me thinking about what is changed in her attractiveness in me has changed or what in general has changed. Well the other night I found out what has been grasping her attention on her phone so much. We were watching TV one night and we are back forth falling asleep as normal, She is sound asleep. I reach over and get her phone, which i normally do to her get some restful sleep, turn an alarm off early. I've never been the type of person to go through someone's phone, but unfortunately I caved this time when I i saw what was on it when I turned it on. She was reading a very graffic mini book written by fans of celebs. And when I say graffic I mean extremely graffic about one on one different fantasies with celebs. This completely caught me off guard bc I didn't know she was into this kind of thing. Especially with how many of the mini books she had read. It was all recently too but they were about certain celebs. The things she was reading about was also things she had no interest in doing in the bedroom as well as stuff she did. I have never really been the jealous type of person but this bothered me and idk why. If nothing else it was a big turn off to she she was doing that. I'm not saying she is cheating bc she is doing this or that she would of the chance arrived, but it bothered me that she intentionally hid it from me for a couple weeks now when we are usually open. I understand it probably the book equivalent of watching porn, which I understand people do. I did but I don't anymore bc I stopped being interested in it after I started dating my gf. It bothers me bc it makes me feel like she could only be wanting to do it more when she fantasizing about someone else or would possibly prefer the idea of someone else.
I'm looking for advice not more of how to handle it, but rather how to understand why she is doing it and how to talk to her about it. I am very happy being in a relationship with her and don't want to end it bc of it, that is not my intention seeking advice on her. It doesn't help that I'm an overthinker bc of a couple of past relationships getting cheated on. Again I'm not saying saying she is cheating or that she would.

I understand men get horny. I understand men naturally like to look at women. Whatever. But I couldn’t help but feel the urge to throw up when I went through his phone (with permission) and saw a couple women in lingerie on a instagram saved collection he has, and women in his instagram search history whose pages are 90% their bodies. I asked what the purpose was and he said “yeah probably lusting”. I know not wanting my partner to watch porn is probably unrealistic in today’s society, but it’s a boundary I placed and we agreed on because he cannot bring himself to give it up and i’m convicned he’s addicted. We are very sexually active and I try my best to satisfy him, trying new things, buying new lingerie he chooses, which makes me feel like shit knowing at the end of the day he still checks these girls out, to add on look nothing like me (have bbls and breast done). I, who was entirely against ever sending nudes to anyone, have even sent him some because he originally tried saying he only does it because I “don’t send him anything” and he has nothing to look at and masturbating with nothing to look at isn’t possible. Yet I still found tons of porn searched and different women saved on his social media. This led me to breaking down, feeling disgusting and unworthy, and made him delete my nudes and our nsfw videos together off his phone. I felt insufficient. He tries to make it better by saying he would never cheat on me, which he hasn’t, but I can’t help but get this gut wrenching feeling. I have even been repulsed by sex recently, just feeling like a ragdoll during it. I love my boyfriend and he loves me, but maybe not enough. I don’t know what to do and don’t want to grow to hate my boyfriend, or be even more disgusted by him than I already am. Am I overreacting? How do I deal with this?

I posted this on CFB and would like to see y'alls thoughts on this
I’m a Kentucky fan. Our success under Mark Stoops in making us an adequate SEC program has led us to enter the competition of who will finish behind Georgia in the SEC East. In this group are three teams Florida, South Carolina, and Missouri.
TLDR; is a completely self-indulgent piece about UK football and how their current success has brought the question of who the rivals are now. Florida is probably not due to historical success, it’s up to them to decide. Mizzou is our coworker, not a rival. South Carolina can eat a bag of dicks.
Also Fuck Tennessee
I think I should start by defining a rivalry. The two programs need to be close enough in short-term and long-term success to draw comparisons. Games between the schools need to occur regularly and there needs to be mutual hate.
Florida for years would beat the living shit out of us. Your players had career games, and draft highlight tapes. Every fan in the Bluegrass state loathed playing you all and we never thought we would see the day the mighty Florida Gators would whimper. The best moment of the series for us was when we knocked out Tim Tebow. It’s not because we like to see players injured, but because it felt cathartic to draw blood on our god-king overlords finally. Even in that game, we lost 41-7.
Now we have won three games straight, with us blowing y’all out last year. Even though we are 4-6 in the last 10 matchups, it is usually a competitive game with huge memorable plays. We check the boxes for playing regularly and it being competitive.
Is there hate?
Stoops hates Florida. He was a defensive coach at both Miami and FSU and has always brought a different intensity to the Florida game. When Stoops won his 100th game we celebrated by frying a Gator. Kentucky fans hate Florida, but do Florida fans even think about UK?
Florida has pissed off every fan base at some point. From the stupid “two bits” chant, corny ass chomp, and them chanting “it’s great to be a Florida Gator” after every TD. There’s nothing that pours salt in the wound quite like hearing that shit in your home stadium after Jeff Badet drops a wide-open game winning TD in the to lose the game.
Florida is hated by FSU, Miami, LSU, Tennessee(fuck you btw), Alabama, and Georgia. Historically they’re a three time national champion. I feel like they view us as a momentary speed bump until they reach CFB glory again. Unfortunately for them, that’s not true. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe Florida fans hate us and view us as little brother rivals. Florida fans let me know what you think.
Missouri? I put Missouri on the list because they fit the criteria. Historically they are a better program than UK, but since joining the SEC has been on par with UK. UK has a winning record against Missouri 9-5 and there have been no true blowouts. There have been some big plays late and controversial calls. Your players don’t like us. We fans hate having to travel to Mizzou to play, not because of the atmosphere (which is great btw) it’s just Missouri. I think the best way I can summarize my feelings is through an analogy.
I play NCAA 14 dynasties to completion. I go for either 60 years or until the game starts crashing. The problem is after you win 5 national championships in a row you can get anybody you want and the game isn’t a game anymore, it’s a job of being dominant. You’re faced with a choice either leave to a new school or edit your opponents to be a challenge. Each has these perks and shortcomings. Editing is very tedious but, you only have one dream school. The tedious part with editing is you can’t just make a bunch of guys 99 and call it a day. I’m sure a couple of teams don’t need the spit shine, but you can’t play 12 of the same boring team and you need to challenge yourself. What you have to do is edit their playbooks and schemes so they play in different and fun ways but more importantly you have to find out how to stop them. You can make a mimic team (they are you but a different color, crazy, right?), or triple option no-huddle, or my favorite the anti-thesis team, or whatever you can think of. The issue is some of these teams will make you eat shit on a platter. This forces you to either to De-edit the team - like a bitch - or get good. Getting good though requires discipline, repetition, and practice. My solution was to make less talented versions of these all 99 squads to play before I hand the big showdown. Kind of like a level boss before the BBEG.
My BBEG was an antithesis team and was Kentucky's most hated Rival Louisville. I had lost to them in a couple of blowouts so, to better myself I edited Temple. I picked them because they played at the Philadelphia Eagles Stadium, and the Eagles are my favorite team. I'm quite fond of Philidelphia due to Ben Franklin and Philly Cheesesteaks. I have nothing against the real-life University of Temple, but I ended up hating the Temple game more than Louisville's game. Louisville there was a challenge I had to play perfect to win, every play had stakes. One bad read and I cost my team a national title to our arch-rival. Temple, I knew I was going to win, but it was going to be a miserable slog. Temple would not allow ANY big plays and would only allow 3-4 yards at a time if you fell behind the sticks you had to punt. Every time a run went for negative yards or a sack it was like you were Sisphyus watching your boulder roll back down the hill at the end of the day. Fortunately, their offense was dog shit and it would be a quick 3&out. I would feel no gratification from winning, only relief that it was over. I never felt animosity or hatred towards them it just felt like they were just doing their job. I would root for them against other teams. Hoping the other teams would feel the same virtual torment I endured.
Missouri is Temple. I don’t care about them. I have complete apathy towards them. I don’t expect to win against them, I expect to endure 60 minutes of football. I never expect fun to creep into the occasion. If something fun happens, I expect it to happen by accident. I don't expect anyone to see the one cool play either, you will go to the restroom, return to your seat and see a replay of it, you'll ask your friend about that play. He will say "Oh... it wasn't that exciting." A Kentucky-Missouri football game is not a football game; it is a test of one’s fandom and loyalty to the game of football. It is an endurance of football on par with an Iowa football game, there is no joy, no happiness, no pleasure just two-yard runs and punts.
I don’t consider you a rival, I consider you a coworker that Greg Sankey makes us mud wrestle in a pool at our company Christmas party for our holiday bonus. I know it’s not your fault and it’s an experience we both must suffer through to get our wife’s boyfriends a collectors edition Optimus Prime.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this Missouri fans.
Hey South Carolina, GO FUCK YOURSELF!!! I hate your venereal disease ass state, I hate your Michael Scott ass coach, and I hate Darude Sandstorm. Who the fuck listen to that and thought “People need to hear this”
I’m sorry let me backtrack.
South Carolina historically is equal to Kentucky, only recently did Steve Spurrier make them an adequate SEC program. South Carolina does lead the series 20-14. The series has been marred by memorable moments and has been defined by streaks. Flames have been stoked when Beamer first joined USC, Stoops said “You can’t just put on some sunglasses and start winning games” in response to a corny ass tik tok Beamer made. Beamer is taking that personally as he brought a different level of energy to the games. There’s been more shots and there’s more history between the two coaches than just that but to keep it short and sweet they hate each other. The teams don’t like each other. I hate them. Their fans seem to not like us either. What are we gonna call this rivalry? I'm partial to the cock fight and the winner gets a golden pair of sunglasses. Let me know what you think South Carolina fans.
Ps go fuck your sister Tennessee

How do i convey my emotions so he understands me?
For context, my boyfriend and I have now lived together for around 3 months. Whilst he is a very loving person through words and doing small tasks like filling up my waterbottle etc, it doesn’t feel like quite enough for me.
He has 2 best friends who do not drive, and they want to hang out with him most of the time when he isn’t working, which is after 3 weekdays and throughout the weekend. If i want to hang out with him, without being interrupted, i have to ask him a few days before to make sure he has time for me and even then his friends bother him or will show up to the house when he doesn’t answer.
I have discussed with him multiple times that this upsets me and that it feels like he doesn’t value my time with him, as he also never asks to spend time with me, which upsets me as i don’t have many friends locally to spend time with.
He also has ADHD which means he usually gets distracted when i’m trying to tell him how i feel, or he just straight up doesn’t understand. He says that because we live together we see each other all the time anyway so it shouldn’t matter.
I want to be put first before his friends as we are now in a serious relationship and living together, i feel as though he doesn’t make time for me, but instead hangs out with me when his friends aren’t available. I’m not sure how to get this across to him, as i’ve tried multiple times the last three months, to no change. How do you suggest I convey it?

This happened a few years ago now. I was having the siding replaced on my home, not because I decided wanted to but because my HOA decided I wanted to.
I got a few quotes ranging from $25k to $50k and settled on one contractor who would put in Hardie Plank siding and all the etc etc that come with that.for about $26K. When he was writing up the contract he asked if I wanted new gutters or wanted to reuse the existing ones. He said it would be about $500 for new gutters but my existing ones were fine if wanted to save some money. I opted to keep the existing ones. I signed a contract with the scope of work that specifically stated "reinstall and reuse all existing gutters, downspouts and hardware"
A few weeks later they began work. Very first thing they did was take off all of the shutters, gutters and downspouts and laid them neatly out of the way. Everything else went straight to the dumpster as expected. A few days later they have all the siding up and painted and say they will have a crew come by in a week to touch up and reinstall gutters and shutters.
We went out of town the next week due to a family emergency. Long story short a family members mental health declined rapidly and they were living in a trashed house with no electricity. Had to hire a crew to clean out the house and put all their utilities in my name. Fun times.
While I'm gone I get a call from the contractor. They have tossed all of my old gutters and installed all new ones since they decided the old ones were not salvageable. He says the new price for the install of the new gutters would be an additional $750. I'm livid but I (for once) remain composed. I think I had just watched a Hugo Lord short about contractors and self help or something so I felt I knew what to say. I reminded him that the signed agreement was for the existing gutters to be reused and it made no mention of any contingency for if they were damaged or unusable. I told him that if he had asked me first I would have told him that I couldn't afford that (remember this project was not my choice) and that we'd need to figure out another solution. If that meant no gutters for a while then so be it.
He said that I'd need to atleast pay an extra $500 to cover the materials. I held firm and told him that I didn't order the materials, he did. He ended up accepting a check for the original agreed upon amount with nothing extra for the gutters, but every time we spoke before then he hounded me for the extra money. When I finally met him with the check he told me about "how much trouble" I started for him and how mad it seem like he was on the hook for the money with his boss.
Not that it would make much difference since I really didn't have $500 to spare, but AITAH? It just really irked me that the didn't ask at all before incuring this cost that they assumed I'd pay, even though it goes directly against what id agreed to, and the fact that they threw away all the old gutters and hauled them away before discussing it. Everything was going fine while I was there but the second I was gone they pulled this.

We've received a few quoted but by far this is the best labor warranty. Most are 1-3 years for labor and 10 years for parts. This company covers labor and parts for 10 years as long as you only use them to service and maintain your unit and do bi-yearly check ups with them ($150 for both). Can anyone comment on the quality of Gree? I've done some research and I know they're Chinese based but are the most used residential HVAC company in the world, supposedly.
Other units around this price are Goodman, Payne, Amana, and Rheem. Lennox is more expensive by $3k and I was quoted $16k for Trane. I need to make a decision soon as I have a young child at home for the summer and I live in Southern Nevada. Any help or advice, thoughts on Gree, etc, much appreciated. Fixing our 16 year old Goodman will cost us at least $3k and at that price point I would rather replace. At this point it could keep costing us money to fix it every year when a newer unit makes more sense.

I don’t know much about journalism or journalism ethics so I’m just trying to figure out what the correct next step is.
The context: I did a short interview for an online article. It came out today, and when I read it, right off the bat I noticed it got several basic facts about me wrong and a bunch of the quotes were presented as direct quotes, but they were not what I actually said. They seemed to be paraphrased, which changed the tone and intention behind what I actually said.
To complicate things, this article turned out to be making some assertions that, had I known the author had planned on making, I’d never have wanted my name attached to that article. I can’t tell someone what they can and can’t write, or what conclusions they can or can’t come to, but considering the way my quotes appear to have been paraphrased (my assumption is that the changes are to support the article’s conclusion, but obviously that’s just my own speculation, I don’t have any confirmation of that), if there’s any way to ask to have my portion of the interviews removed from the article I want to try to do that. There were several people interviewed, so if mine were removed it wouldn’t change the article beyond just making it a bit shorter. I don’t want to make a big stink, and I don’t want to drag the author of the article through the mud, I just want my portion quietly removed.
So I guess my questions are, where do I go from here? Who at the publication should I contact first, the author or the editor? Is there any recourse or should I just avoid doing interviews in the future?

A few days ago some fam and friends went out the bar. I was DD so I didn’t have very much to drink and was on babysitting duty mostly. At the end of the night my Wife, SIL and I made it to my house. My wife went to bed immediately and I stayed awake because the SIL was making comments about leaving to her house and since she was in no condition to Uber or do any kind of ride share travel I tried to make sure she stayed and used a spare bedroom. She ended up using our bathroom and was in there a VERY long time with the water running. I decided to knock and make sure she was okay since I suspected that she fell asleep in there (she did). After a few knocks and me calling her name she replied that she was fine and opened the door. She was standing in the door way completely naked. I was shook so I walked away into the living area. A few moments later she came into the living area half ass covered in a bath towel and laid on the couch and tried to go back to sleep. We have kids so I didn’t want them to come out and see her there at any point during the night or in the morning so I helped her to the spare bedroom. The next morning we were talking about the good time we had out at the bar and they mentioned that they had blacked out before we even got home meaning my SIL had no recollection of what happed. My dilemma is that I feel like I need to let my wife know what happed, because it’s making me feel like I’m hiding something. My wife is on the jealous side so I’m worried that she’s going to see it differently. Also part of me feels like the SIL wasn’t blacked out but is probably embarrassed and is playing it off as a blackout to avoid conversation. There was nothing sexual about the whole thing, I feel like she was genuinely drunk and not purposely exposing herself to me in that way. There’s also a part of me wants to let it go if they really don’t remember. My wife always gives my SIL a hard time about her getting flirty and or too friendly when she drinks and I feel like she’s going to overreact and may cause them to have a fallout or something. I’m also wondering if I need to talk to the SIL first about it ? I don’t know at this point, I may be blowing it out of proportion. For the wives out there, how would you react in a situation like this?

Hi, I have a boyfriend that has discord and that is addicted to it. I have recently found out he had a thing with another girl and did things with her… for the most part adult stuff. I told him it was cheating and he said it isn’t cheating because he never met her in person only did stuff on discord chat… I have heard of discord before and nothing positive from majority of people I spoke to. Only people that are really into games and online sex.
Anyway, I was heart broken and just miserable/depressed. I have told my boyfriend that I had a previous relationship that cheated on me for years and I didn’t know it at all, he hid it so well by pretending the girls he was talking to were his coworkers and changed their name to male… anyway
My current boyfriend told me that he only did online things, adult things. I told him he cheated and said no
So after a few days I tried to convince myself it was online But couldn’t get over it.
So a few days past and now well today we were having a wonderful time together and saw a discord notification on his phone, it was from a girl that was way to beautiful I’m nothing compared to that. I didn’t get jealous at all just told him who is she. He showed me that it was just a simple hi and bye and saw a whole conversation I’ve loving her half naked pictures and everything was recent..
I told my boyfriend that I can’t do this and don’t like putting people on ultimatums and told him if he really loves discord and can’t see himself ever deleting the app or part from it
I thought about it clearly and told him I wanted him to be happy and who am I to tell him To stop or delete the app He got upset and said it’s only rlp and the girls he is doing this with doesn’t mean anything to him
I told him he isn’t get the point That he can’t have everything and have me sad and miserable just for his pleasure
Idk can anyone help me out!…
Felicity

I got broken up with over a month and a half ago and i feel like I am overreacting. We dated for 3 months and had every intention of being in it for the long hall. There was only one ongoing "fight" if you could even call it that. There was this girl that he had kept texting even though it made me uncomfortable. The only reason I did not want him to continue to text her was they had a previous fling. They had slept together even though they both were in relationships. He never told me much about her just that is was a huge mistake and he would never do it again. There is more context but it is not my place to share but based on it I was okay with starting a relationship with him. The issue I had was they both seemed to have this bond based on the situation. It was borderline unhealthy. The other issue was that he had neglected to tell me she was local until I had found her social media accounts stating that she went to a high school in the area. He also kept talking to her without telling me and were on a facetime call multiple times after he said he would stop talking to her. I found this out by looking on his phone. I never had the intent of going onto his phone to look at the messages, I was going on to send a photo to myself when I saw her contact/profile. (During our breakup I admitted it was not my place to look and had apologized for invading his privacy and breaking his trust, however he had also broken mine by continuing to lie and not tell me he had been talking to her).
At the time of out break-up I was completely blindsided as the night before he had been in my bed and everything was fine. A mutual friend had told him I went on his phone and apparently that was his breaking point. Despite the fact he knew I knew he was still talking to her. This mutual friend had been extremally jealous of me (she admitted so) which is why I believe she told him. I understand now after talking to my therapist that she had been using me. This friend had painted me in an awful light and had been telling a lot of people lies as well as exaggerating the truth to make it seem as bad as possible. (Just for context I am 17 and mutual friend is 20) For awhile I felt like I was an awful person but have recently realized that not everything was my fault. TW:PREGNANCY AND ABORTION
Our breakup was really rough and he never really explained why he was breaking up with me so the above paragraph is just my assumptions. During our breakup we were in minimal contact. This is were the situation take a huge turn so beware. I found out I was pregnant not even a week after we broke up. I was in shock as I was on birth control (also: I am extremally allergic to latex ) but I still knew the risk. The same day I found out he had asked me to not text him as he was "advised" not to text me even though he had agreed to stay in contact with me. I did not tell him. About a week later I had been in the hospital and had posted a story to my social media which he had texted me to ask if I was okay. He had looked at ever story I had posted and had liked all of my posts. I was trying to get us back on good terms before I told him I was pregnant. I went to a clinic in another state and was told I was about 5 weeks pregnant. About a week after I had thought I miscarried because there was a lot of bleeding. We had texted a few days before and had said we both still cared about each others wellbeing. So I felt like It was a good time to tell him. My reasoning was if I had miscarried then it was over and done with but if I was still pregnant he had the right to know. I told him. It did not go well. So much for caring about my wellbeing. He basically freaked out (which I expected) and told me that he needed time to process and "he didn't know" if he ever wanted to talk to me about it. To say I was pissed off was an understatement. First because he thought I would lie about something like that and second because he was fine with me someone who is also struggling with everything and hiding the biggest secret of all from everyone taking on the weight of everything. I went to the clinic a few days after and to no ones surprise I was still pregnant because the universe decided I needed more to deal with. They gave me the abortion pills I had order the pervious appointment. I wasn't sure what I was going to do in complete honesty. Part of me wanted to keep it but I knew it was not practical.
I knew we wanted time but as we saw I did not have time to give him. I was nearing on 7 weeks and needed to make a decision as the longer I waited the harder it would be. For more context I have a lot of health issues which were flaring up because of all the stress I was under. I texted him that I was still pregnant and he told me he couldn't deal with it and blocked me. I was definitely a bit harsh when I texted him my text read along the lines of "I did not miscarry I dont care if you answer or not". I broke down a bit after that and downed the first pill. I wrote him an email with all the photos I had and basically said you are a dick. It may have been a bit overkill to write him a dozen pages on why I thought blocking me was rude and selfish and that I hadn't asked him for anything and then proceeded to hand deliver them 2 weeks later which caused him to block me on everything else. I don't regret it btw it made me feel better. They best/worst part of this all is we are going to the same college and my friend who knows the entire situation is working under his mom this summer. I feel like I might be overreacting over the entire thing. I feel like I am going insane and what he did was not that bad, At least not as bad as my exes because he was a really good boyfriend and he was the first person I ever loved and saw a future with. So now I am in the no contact feels with a playlist to prove it.

hiii, so ive told my boyfriend about my age regression and i thought it went well. and he is accepting of it but i have no clue on how to ask him to be my caregiver and how to explain what being a caretaker entails. i regress around him but mostly only on the phone and i dont baby talk because i feel like it will make him uncomfortable. i like doing fun things and being silly when im regressed and just being silent with a paci in, just isnt how my regression is. but i dont know how im going to transition into doing those things around him

the majority of this woman’s readings are complete bogus. As a PSYCHIC MEDIUM you cannot make a statement as fact and then question it at the end of it by saying (for example) ~”is your boys eyes blue? Blue/green?” those are two different colors and she’s just hoping it’ll stick.
the main topics for every single reading include but not limited to: * you lost the baby didn’t you? how absolutely INSANE to claim someone lost a baby. Globally 1 in 6 people experience infertility. And what about women who have PCOS and she is sitting there saying you experience fertility so Willy nilly. It’s fucking nuts. And insensitive as hell! * who was the female (or male) who experienced addiction or alcohol and has quit or cut back? * You have a little girl? * They are telling me they love you so much, they are sorry, and are so proud of you. ??? DUH and everyone who’s lost a loved one wants to hear that * I need the 12th, 26th, 6th, 10th or 8th — she loves these numbers and when it’s not exact she’ll agree with the person that it can be the day before or after * People passing from cancer, cardiac arrest/stroke, addiction (top three death reasons)… easy
Every thing she says is so generic and she absolutely leads her sitters into what she wants them to say or feel. She preys on naive, vulnerable, older women who think she is an actual God. Pure manipulation. She is a complete fraud IMO. And no, I am not jealous of this “gift” … I just have to call it how I see it and feel it. I am a bit intuitive myself and my gut never steers me wrong 🩷

Here’s to another Monday of making all the wrong moves and losing money 🍻

i would like if you are around my age range (18-21ish). i like to think i'm more mature than my age, which either means i am or i'm the average 18-year-old since covid stunted most of everyone's maturities lmao. i would also like if you text similar to me, and by that i mean emoji's, occasional slang, all caps if something is funny/scary, etc, rather than capital letters and periods with no exclamation since i only talk like that to family/important emails
i’m from AZ, so it would be nice if you are either in AZ, have the same time zone (mst), or live nearby. though, be aware that i do not what to stay in my current city. i either would move where you are or to a whole other place, either a big city (like nyc), a whole other country (canada), or a small rural town no one has ever heard of surrounded by trees and such. i do have a small dog who is rather old so i would like to bring him if i can convince my family :)
with romance/sex, it's preferrable and romance is like a must lol. mostly like cuddling and kissing, and it's not necessary, but i would prefer to share a bed since it's much more intimate. which is how i view more romantic/sexual things are a way to bond/have fun, not ways to be attracted or build attraction to someone, though sex is something i don’t explicitly need if you don’t want it
i can be blunt and i like to know full boundaries. i don't like accidentally hurting people, so i would like if you are a bit blunt and confident enough to tell me if i'm doing something wrong or if i'm making you uncomfortable. i have adhd, so some things i need to be told even if it's obvious since i tend to accidentally break boundaries since i know i wouldn't mind
living wise, i like things 50/50. like sweeping together, mopping together, cleaning, cooking, etc. partly because it's more efficient but also because i see it as a bonding thing. and along with that, i always thought it would be cute to just consider each other as "friends", tell family/friends that, even if it's not completely true. though, i would tell other people that you are my partnegirlfriend/boyfriend if you prefer that :))
i can't drive yet, but i'm getting there. i also keep going back and forth between being a tattoo artist and being a commission-based artist. it would depend on if we would travel a lot/what tattoo studio i get into. if i do tattooing, my cousin has offered to teach me since she is a full-time tattoo artist
i like talking a lot (clearly), but i like silence too. if we were in person/on call, moments of silence don't bother me unless i feel like i need to talk. i also love playing video games, even if i'm not that great at some, along with anime, so i would gladly sit on a call and watch anime/play a video game with you to get us more comfortable with each other :)
if you like the sound of me, please DM :) i can answer specific questions if you have any and would probably prefer that. i can also send pictures of myself and talk about my dog if you are curious and willing to send a picture back
also, assuming you got to the bottom of this post, DM with your name, age, where you live/time zone, and what you would like in a relationship (romance/sex wise) :))

So it's been a few years now and I haven't talked to / about this person since our falling out. I can't remember half of what had happened but to sum up what I do remember:
( Tl/dr) me and my ex best friend aren't friends anymore and it's probably (most definitely) my fault. I didn't give them important details/lied about a shared friend we were both really close to. We had a fight and that's it.
Important context:
It was during a time when someone who we were both incredibly close with (he was my boyfriend, who i lived with and he was their best friend of like 10+ years) had left to live else where and I was experiencing and extreme form of psychosis from the sudden change in living situation. Me and my boyfriend of 5 years had been living together for almost a year and a half when, after some personal stuff on his end, he decided to move away. Our lease wasn't up yet and I had to take on his half until he had enough security to help me. (He did help me in the end but I also recieved help from family) I was also relatively far from my family. Full disclosure they lived an hour and a half away but i had been so used to them being a couple doors down and it was my first time living away from home.
It was hard trying to afford the cost of living by myself and my mental health took a sharp dip. It was so bad in fact that I remember almost none of it despite it happening in the 2020s.
Because I had already been feeling depressed before he left, my boyfriend leaving made me feel hopeless and alone. I was hospitalized twice, the second time was the longest at 3 weeks. I was put on suicide watch and had been sh so bad I'd use the sh in question as paint and would have visual and audible hallucinations. My boyfriend at the time and I have apologized and acknowledged that it was a bad time for the both of us.
Actual story bit:
After my second hospitalization we had gotten into the friendship ending fight.
Without going into a lot of detail (primarily cause im afraid ill not mention something), they said i manipulated them and my boyfriends whole family into hating him because he moved. That i said and did things to intentionally make them hate him and pity me. And that I lied about a lot of things (I can't remember about what all).
We had been best friends for 5 + years and the way they were describing me didn't at all sound like me. It was like hearing them talk about a stranger. (If I pay for food at a fast food establishment and they took the money and didn't give me the food, I'd be too scared to ask them for it because I don't wanna be an inconvenience (this has happened before).) My fear of being an inconvenience keeps me from doing or saying lots of things i really should. It all felt so out of character for me. Part of me still doesn't want to believe I even did half the stuff they said I did but if im honest i don't remember the entire period of time my boyfriend had moved so maybe it did?
I do remember that after almost a year of no contact with this person, they randomly started interacting with some of my accounts under a fake name. Sending threatening messages, things like calling me fat, telling me my family is disappointed in me, sending me pictures of the outside of my home, telling me to kill myself. I knew it was them but part of me also wanted it not to be? I kept trying to convince myself it was someone else but you know. It got to a point that I did file a report with my local police department.
Even still i miss them? I don't think we could be friends but I can't find it in myself to be upset with them. I just feel kinda sad. Maybe it's the nestolgia of our old friendship or maybe it's the guilt, but I just feel sad. I hear about them in passing sometimes, not a lot but just a small thing here and there. Like how someone we both know saw them recently and stuff like that.
I'm not going to try to contact them or anything. I am also aware they have my reddit and cannot stress enough that I do not want to talk or interact with this person in any way. I just want them to be doing okay and I'm sorry it all happened. I can't change what I did or what happened back then but it still weighs on me. Maybe getting it off my chest will help me move on.

I have been with my boyfriend for a little over two years now. He’s kind, intelligent, funny, caring and pretty much everything I could have asked for in a partner. However, my parents have an issue. They don’t like what he does for work. He works fulltime at a music store primarily as a salesman for musical instruments. He’s been there for about five years, he really enjoys his work and excels at it. He also did very well in school and has a college degree. I’m just happy that he has a positive experience at his workplace.
But my parents don’t like the fact that he works there. They believe that he has no ambition to “pursue higher education or a career”. They are constantly hawking me about getting him to pursue another career path such as teaching. Yesterday my mom sent me a job posting to be a case manager and told me have my boyfriend pursue that. He has no interest or even any background in that field and I found it really imposing of her. The salary was also about the same as what he makes now.
I feel like both of my parents, but more so my mom, live in a bit of a bubble. They can’t fathom or accept that someone would choose to work in fields they deem unconventional, lower class etc. Being a salesman at a music store isn’t a “real career” for them. I understand they may just be trying to help. But they just have very classist attitudes and have a hard time accepting people who aren’t like them. My boyfriend and I both grown adults who can choose own paths so it’s just very annoying.

So I have this book, it's an unofficial Taylor Swift journal called "Blank Spaces" and it has many quotes said by famous celebrities, but on a certain page I found a quote by Stevie Nicks posted on April 29th 2010. And if you do the math [ 29 - 10 = 19 ] put it together and you would get April 19th although I'm not sure that does anything, but anyways here's the quote with the lyrics. "You look like Stevie Nicks, in '75".
Taylor Swift By Stevie Nicks Thursday, Apr. 29, 2010
When I first got the call from Taylor Swift about performing with her at this year's Grammy Awards, I really didn't want to do it. She's 20 years old, 5 ft. 11 in. and slender; I'm 40 years older and, to be frank, neither of the other two things! I was not about to stand next to this girl on national television. But her little face just lights up like a star, and I couldn't say no.
Taylor reminds me of myself in her determination and her childlike nature. It's an innocence that's so special and so rare. This girl writes the songs that make the whole world sing, like Neil Diamond or Elton John. She sings, she writes, she performs, she plays great guitar. Taylor can do ballads that could be considered pop or rock and then switch back into country. When I turned 20 years old, I had just made the serious decision to never be a dental assistant. Taylor just turned 20, and she's won four Grammys.
I still walk around singing her song "Today Was a Fairytale." All of us girls want that boy to pick us up and think that we look beautiful even though we're in jeans and clogs. We want it at 14, and we want it at 60. Taylor is writing for the universal woman and for the man who wants to know her. The female rock-'n'-roll-country-pop songwriter is back, and her name is Taylor Swift. And it's women like her who are going to save the music business.
