My (43) parents were married for over 40 years and my mom (73) recently went through some health stuff. When my dad (84) filed for divorce in January 2020, I went NC for a few years due to abuse on his part (towards me). We loosely reconnected a couple years ago and I could tell he had changed in some fundamental ways for the better.

It has mostly been healing to reconnect, but there are still some ways he is still the same and I’ve got to hold boundaries, like here. Thankfully, I have healed enough I can see through it now. Not that he even tried to hide it in this case!!!

And no, he never responded. Haven’t had a chance to talk yet either cause I had some of my own health things to take care of.

(we shared an amazon account)

Idk even know how to explain without a essay, but she is my friend from highschool until now, she's mostly someone who's stressed, sometimes its overbearing ngl, I voiced it and we were still cool, she stopped voicing about 85% of it and irl we be talking about lots of stuff. Lately she has been dry texting, so the vibes is a bit off, so I guess I returned the favour( I guess im overthinking and being soft).

Not sure what just happened. This text conversation happened within minutes.

Help guys😭

my bf lives with his brother and his gf (let’s call brothers gf “B”)

i had been talking to him about how im excited to decorate my own (future) house for the holidays. and he says i can just decorate his house, but “B” has already put up decorations. he told me “remove them and add your own stuff”.

i told him i wasnt going to go into his house and remove decorations that someone else put up, when it isn’t even my house to begin with, and i dont live with him. that it was rude. and he said “its not rude if you’re just making it better.”

but after I continue to say no he starts to belittle me and call me annoying and depressed for not decorating his house…

and i just upped my dose on an antidepressant which explains the “go up to 30mg” comment lol.

context on the ice cream situation: to make it short, ive been trying to encourage him to lose weight (he also got himself on a glp-1 on his own accord). so im just trying to be supportive and giving him tips and educating him on things since im pretty active myself.

he was talking about having this “October challenge” where he would lock in and go to the gym and take his health seriously and all that. then today i ask him what’s for dinner and he says he’s going to have ice cream from an ice cream parlor lol.

ive told him my views on health and how i want to be with someone who takes their health seriously, and we almost broke up cause of it once. and it was this whole thing where “blah blah im gonna change, i dont want to lose you” but he does nothing to take care of himself.

we always argue to the point where it gets physical and ive wanted to end the relationship for months because hes gotten so disrespectful to me. but then he starts to find ways to manipulate me into thinking hes going to get better or that it’s all my fault and i ruin everything (i know i should have more self respect)

at this point it’s just pure comedy and entertainment for me. i have so much resentment that stuff like this doesn’t phase me anymore.

and just to point out that i DO work part time on the weekends and do community volunteer work weekdays, among other responsibilities. im 23F and hes 22M. and he thinks he’s a hot shot just cause he makes a lot of money.

[Sorry for using the discord tag but it doesnt have a "Twitch DM" tag and it requires you to use one]

Im sorry for being so distant but its been months since Ive played any videogames and this has genuinely surprised me so much.

I literally said: "Hey streamer, how does it feel to look at those amazing builds and to remember building/placing each block?" Nothing else, that was my first message. How was that being "funny"??? Also the flirty tone?? I dont understand what happened 😂 Was that a troll?

Texts from a situationship that I stopped entertaining a while ago.

I’m just so tired man.

My Gf says she doesn't trust my Ex I was with for 5 years.

An altercation happened when I asked for an old water bill from our old house we bought. To quote Ronnie radke "Oh the webs we weave"

not the first time we've had this conversation, and it's not something i can explain either. they haven't said anything since the last text. i don't care if im in the right or the wrong, i just want to be able to talk to them again without it being tense. we haven't spoken since

For context, this happened in 2023 when I was 17. My father was with family and pulled a 'prank' on me by having a young relative who I didn't know nor have the number of message me this. I thought I was being stalked because this was all information about me that wasn't public. I called my mom over in a panic, and she figured out who was really texting me. So, the conversation in the 2nd picture is where I responded to the relative accordingly. The 3rd picture features the resulting confrontation between my father and I (if you could call it that).

I posted this because it crossed my mind, which it does more often than I'd like it to. The sheer fear I felt in those moments is something I'm still not over to this day.

Edit: Please try to be understanding in the comment section. I am autistic, experience paranoia, and have anxiety + RSD. I did nothing to any of you personally.

Edit 2: I thought this would be an interesting story to share after watching Smosh re-enacting a post from here, but I guess I was wrong. Sorry for wasting your time.

Mom has a new spot this year and has done a little decorating on her entryway.

I take my dog everywhere I go for fun. For exercise for exploring ect. I take my corgi with me and she's upset with the dog.. first time me dating a single mother. Her son loves me and I hang out with him and the dog but she's mad about that too?

Context: back in June, I (22M) gave my coworker (F in her 40s, actual age unknown) a loan because she was dealing with her sick father, so I loaned her $20 because I have known her for a couple years and figured she was trustworthy, so I let her keep it while she got things figured out, she ended up having to take a couple months off work to take care of him in another city, and she would give me occasional updates about him, she did try to ask for another loan back in July, before even paying me the one that she owes me, claiming it was an emergency, but I refused, (not in a disrespectful way, I wanted her to pay me back first, and she understood that,) and while I understand she was going through something, if she really needed money she would’ve come back to work sooner.

Fast forward to this past week, we set a time for me to come get it (I gave her a loan in cash, because she at the time did not have Zelle (or so I thought)) which leads to tonight. She also has a history of asking people at work for money, not just other employees, customers too. We are cashiers at a certain green discount store, but we almost never work at the same time, because she works in the morning, and I’m usually in the evening.

A couple other people I work with say that she drinks, and while I want to assume that was the reason she said this to me, it still doesn’t sit right with me, and even if that is the case, I still don’t want to talk to her. We were cool for around 2.5 years, before tonight. I do feel like it’s partially my fault too for loaning her the money in the first place, if I hadn’t done that, none of this would’ve happened. And while I’m sorry about what she had to deal with, it still doesn’t give her excuse to treat me this way. I supported her and gave her kindness while she was dealing with everything, and then out of nowhere, this happens. I let my manager know what happened, as she has borrowed money from her too, and she took my side, as did some of my other coworkers.

Anyways, it’s whatever, at this point I don’t even care if she sends it or not, it’s only $20.

Edit: reading the comments and… yeah. Thanks to the people who wrote supportive comments, I have blocked and I don’t plan on speaking to her again, after knowing what kind of person she really is. As for some of the people questioning why I gave it to her in the first place and say I shouldn’t expect it back, some of you are right, I should probably not expect that money back, I don’t know why I’m stressing over $20, I’ve made it back several times over since then, so I’ll probably just drop it

Initially , I didnt know they were 40 and they were giving me tips about working out for endurance so thats why I said I would hit them up . But then , I feel like they started to act really weird and stuff. Idk though, I might be wrong.

Edit : he deleted his account

My sister is 20 and in college while living on campus, I went the community commute route so I suppose it’s a dorm life thing?

Texts are most brief, she’s busy with friends and I’d just puffed 3 Js to the face.

Our mom is dead 💔

Not even from a dating site 😭
