My boyfriend thinks splitting the bill 50/50 is fair, even though he always orders twice as much as I do.

1.8k Upvotes

My boyfriend and I have been dating for eight months. We both work and usually split expenses 50/50, which I was totally fine with at first. But I've started noticing something whenever we go out to eat. He'll order an appetizer, a main dish, a few drinks, and dessert. I usually just get one meal.

Last week our bill was $126. My food was around $35 but he still expected me to pay $63. So I suggested we just start paying for what we actually order. He got offended and said couples shouldn't be counting every dollar. Which is kinda funny considering he's the one who always insists on splitting everything exactly 50/50. I don't mind sharing expenses, but I also don't think I should keep paying for food I didn't eat.

Do I bring it up again or just stop going out to restaurants with him if we're splitting the check?

My boyfriend accidentally got a lap dance from my mom at a bachelor party, I haven’t told him. What do I do?

484 Upvotes

I wish I was joking…

So my boyfriend went to a bachelor party this past weekend, and last night he was showing me some pictures and videos from the night because apparently things got pretty wild.
I was laughing at first until he showed me a video of him getting a lap dance from one of the dancers.
I literally felt my stomach drop because I recognized her face immediately.

IT WAS MY FUCKING MOM 😭😭😭

For context, I haven’t seen my mom in almost two years because of her drug addiction. We barely have contact anymore, and my boyfriend has never met her. He’s heard a lot about what happened with my family, but he wouldn’t recognize her if he walked past her on the street.

Apparently, she goes by a different name at the club, and since he’s never met her, there was no way he could have connected the dots, I’m not like upset with my boyfriend or anything but… I haven’t told him.

This whole situation is making me uncomfortable and idk what to do, or what to say 😭😭😭

Someone please help.

I was told that I'm adopted (Aunt is Biological Mother)

190 Upvotes

57M here. I do not have any friends to share this with so I'm just writing this here to get it off my chest. My Aunt Dottie ( mother's sister) was a nun who just passed away. She had been very sick for the last two months. When I visited her on her deathbed, she made a confession that has turned my reality upside down. She told me that she was my actual biological mother and not my aunt. That infact, the woman whom I thought to be my mother was my aunt all along. She said that she had gotten involved with some Russian soldier who impregnated her during the Vietnam war when she was providing front-line medical care and sheltering refugees .Since she was a nun, if word got out about this, it would have been a matter of great shame for the family because she had basically broken her sacred vows of being a nun. So my aunt decided to adopt and raise me as her own child. When i confronted my aunt about this, she was reluctant to admit the truth initially but she eventually corroborated the story. It's like my whole life was a joke. I feel like I've been stabbed in the heart. How much more betrayal can I take?

I think I signed a lease with a man child.

737 Upvotes

I just moved into a place with my boyfriend of almost 3 years. We are both on the lease. He had a job when we signed but it was a temp job and it ended. He had been employed full time for the first year and a half of our relationship but then moved to be with me and had a hard time finding work. It’s a tough job market where I live. He’s been looking for work and I know he has because I see the applications but hasn’t found work yet.

He has about 8k saved up and at first didn’t want to pay the deposit and rent until he got a new job but I put my foot down and he paid it. Now he doesn’t grocery shop or anything and I’m buying all the food.

First, I’m ok with temporarily one person in the relationship carrying the load while the other one is down. He is kind has seen me through dark times and we love each other. But I feel like what started out as me being understanding and patient has turned into him feeling entitled.

Ok, on to what happened tonight. I have been getting delivery meals for a while and they were supposed to be for me but then he started eating them too. Part of why I got them was because I’m so tired of working all day, going grocery shopping, then coming home and cooking, then cleaning up. He would help sometimes but it can take some prodding to get him to help.

I work full time and he doesn’t so last night I proposed that he at least start to cook them since I’m paying for them. He complained that he didn’t like cutting up vegetables.

I came home today from work and the errands I thought he would have done weren’t done. He had been playing video games. We got in a heated convo about it.

I got home from work and he was starting one of the meals and I was happy he was doing it. I grabbed another one of my meals to make because I wanted to make enough so my son had something to bring to lunch tomorrow so I didn’t have to go grocery shopping. I was exhausted and tired so when mine was done I was excited to eat. Even though he had started earlier than me, the meal he was making still hadn’t been cooked. Just as I was about to eat, he said it was time for me to cook the steak from his meal. I said no, that’s your meal you’re cooking. He got upset and said he didn’t know how to cook steak. He knows we have a meat thermometer with literal directions on it. The meal kit comes with directions with pictures. I told him I’m going to eat and if he wants to eat he can cook the steak.

I played the meal for my son and I and we ate. I went into the kitchen to fill my water and he was sulking and told me he didn’t even want the steak and he wanted the meal we ate.

I told him he could also have the leftover pizza I bought or the tamales I bought that were in the fridge. He complained.

I lost it. I remembered that last night even though I was so hungry and wanted to eat my meal delivery kit I let him have the second serving and my son of course had one so I just ate soggy leftovers. I’m a single mom used to living paycheck to paycheck and it’s only recently I’ve had breathing room but I’m loosing my breathing room because of this man who requires so much financially and gives very little in return. Everything he does it’s like he wants a gold star for. If I ask him to break down boxes that is literally all he will do all day and then he will make sure to bring up that he broke down the boxes. Yet I’m over here doing the laundry, buying our furniture, paying for uhail trucks, paying for food, groceries shopping, being a parent, and working full time. And he’s at home all day and could do so much but he does the bare minimum.

I want to kick him out but he’s on the lease. What do I do? I feel like a total idiot. I used to read these threads and get so annoyed and just tell the stupid ladies to leave their scrub parasite man. And here I am.

I lied about losing my virginity and I regret it

426 Upvotes

7 years ago I lied about losing my virginity.

At around 15 during a sleepover naturally the topic of virginity and sex came up. One by one everyone was asked if they were a virgin or not. Surprisingly, everyone in the room answered “yes”. When the question got to me, before I could even think, I stupidly blurted out “no”. There was some silence and then an “I KNEW IT!!” and “I didn’t think so” from a few girls. During the split second of silence I was going to say “ nah i’m just kidding” but something about that “I knew it” and “I didn’t think so” made me feel like I was the shit. I felt this pressure to keep up the “cool girl” persona all of them viewed me as and I think that’s why I lied. For the first time in my life, I was ahead of everyone and I had done something they hadn’t. Obviously I had to make up a story quick and fast and I did just that. Without missing a beat I made up a story about how I lost my virginity earlier in the year and that it “wasn’t a big deal so I didn’t tell anyone”. I memorized every detail of the story and regurgitated it every time the topic came up.

Fast forward a few months, only one girl from that sleepover and I remained friends and I integrated her into my other friend group.
Somehow the topic of MY virginity came up between her and a guy friend in the group while I wasn’t around (still have no idea how this came up) and he said “well she’s a virgin” and my friend obviously defends me with what she thinks is the truth and says “no she’s not she told me the whole story”. I don’t know what this guy had against me but he made it his mission that night to “expose” me.
He found his perfect way in through a game of truth or dare where when I chose truth he asked “who did you have sex with?” Here I went with my bullshit story all over again except this time I was older and telling it to 10 pairs of eyes who all individually already had 5+ bodies. It was humiliating to say the least but I doubled down and was adamant that it DID happen.

Anyways, years later I am no longer friends with any of them (sometimes run into them at social gatherings) except the girl from the original sleepover. We are adults now and I have since gotten a boyfriend. My friend and I now live in different states and she’s coming to town next week where she will meet my boyfriend in person for the first time. If I had found a right time over the years I would have come clean but the opportunity never came. I feel like my lie has gone too far and I am so scared that somehow the topic will be brought up. My boyfriend knows that he took my virginity, but my friend is still under the impression that I lost it 7 years ago in the back of someone’s truck at a fucking new year’s party.
If she mentions it, he will think I lied to him, and she will know I lied to her.

Please help me save myself from the embarrassment. How do I do damage control on this? A stupid lie I made to fit in during high school is haunting me

Edit: I truly do not believe she would bring it up in any malicious way, more so a passing comment. We haven’t seen each other in person in almost 2 years so I expect some reminiscing of our teen years and it may come up. Yes, it would be weird if she brought it up like directly, I don’t think that’s going to happen. I don’t know, maybe i’m overthinking it all.

Big fat crush on my coworker…

18 Upvotes

I cannot get over this crush I have on my coworker. At first I tried really hard to ignore it and I was doing well. He’s not my type at all! (I think) but then my coworker told me she thought we were flirting..and now I can’t get it out of my head. He’s also super nice to everyone so I can’t tell if he’s flirting, he’s very professional so I don’t think he’d ever let that slip.

What do I do! I feel like he doesn’t even know I exist outside of work. Our office is tiny so it would be incredibly inappropriate to date (the company doesn’t have strict rules, but still it’s corporate) and I don’t want to make him uncomfortable by shooting my shot.
I would even be okay with dating in secret like I really wish we could…

I know I’m not staying at this job forever, I want to leave sometime next year. But this is TORTURE!!!

Do I risk it and shoot my shot (maybe at our next work happy hour see how he acts towards me?) or just torture myself until I leave this place? UGH.

Also for context - I haven’t dated in four years. It is very very rare that I actually like a man. Like VERY rare. So this is killing me, this legit never happens!

my fiancé does weird things in his sleep… what do i do?

72 Upvotes

my fiancé is a very heavy sleeper, and he does odd things when half asleep.

he’ll randomly scoot to the end he of the bed and just sit up. he will sometimes eventually end up just falling off the bed and sleeping on the floor from this.

not a big deal, right?

well, just about an hour ago, he did that same thing again, but when i tried waking him up, he stood up and was stretching. his eyes were partially open, so im not sure if he was asleep fully, or half asleep, or what, but he did something he was NEVER done before.

he genuinely pissed on me and our puppy 😭 i kid you not. he acted like he was at the toilet, normal routine peeing. but it got on me, our poor puppy, and our bed.

i was so confused, i yelled “what the fuck are you doing?!” and he looked genuinely confused. i didn’t know what to say or do, so i told him to lay back down and he did. i cleaned everything up and showered and bathed our puppy.

i just don’t know what to do about this. i thought this sleeping habit thing of his was silly, and it become normal routine, until that last part. i realize now that it’s an actual issue now and im not sure if this will happen again, or if it could lead to worse or more weird things. i’m not sure what this is or what to do.

EDIT: ive gotten a lot of sleep study recommendations, so ive talked to him about it now, so him and i are going to set that up. but until then, is there anything we can do to prevent him from doing this? if it continues to happen, i can NOT be washing sheets and mopping the floor AND our puppy every day…

How do I make my husband understand?

8 Upvotes

So I have no idea where to start so let me just word vomit everywhere. Me and my husband have been together for 2 years and we have a one year old who turns two in march.

I love motherhood don’t get me wrong but I feel like I’m nothing but a mom. I don’t have friends. I don’t have a close family to go to when things get hard so i normally just take everything as is but when I explain to my husband I want more me time he doesn’t understand.

When I mean by me time I mean where I’m completely alone with no commitments, expectations or responsibilities which i normally don’t get. He tells me to go hang out with friends but I normally get stood up or my friends are genuinely too far to drive to/see. I cannot explain how lonely I am.

I’ve given gas money so my friends can come to me but they never come, I try to come to them but they cancel or ghost last minute and I try to hang with cousin but they genuinely never care to see me no matter how much of an effort I make.

My husband works and he’s throw in my face a couple of times that he’s upset he never gets to see his family but that’s the thing….he can go fucking see them at ANY given moment. We moved away from my family bc they weren’t the village I needed while excepting me to be a villager so we rely on my MIL. She has been an angel and she helps with our 1 year old when needed but the thing is my husband never take the opportunity to go be with them or take our son out to do something fun.

I’m tired of communicating that I feel like I lost myself. I’m tired of communicating that taking a shower isn’t a break. I’m tired of explaining that I try to hang out with others and they always cancel last minute. I’m just tired. I have no one to talk to and my cat ran away so I have nothing now. I have no family to call or talk to when I need advice. He just doesn’t understand and I’m tried.

I know me saying I want to hang with friends is contradictory of wanting to hang out with friends but HE gets time to be a human while I never have time to just not be a mom. Idk if this makes sense bc I’m just so over it. I want to feel like me! I want to have a group of friends I see regularly and I want a single day where I don’t have to take care of someone. I’ve communicated all of this and still nothing so do I count my losses and just give up? Communication is just so pointless. I can’t afford therapy or maybe my husband just doesn’t care enough to make sure I get it? Idk anymore but anything would be nice bc I’m spiraling and it’s getting worse. Thanks.

My girlfriend’s dad has terminal cancer and I don’t know what to do

• Upvotes

For context we’ve been dating for almost 2 and a half years and her dad was diagnosed with cancer around 2 years ago so it’s been relevant for practically our whole relationship but it’s just recently gotten bad and it’s unlikely that he will live much longer. We’re both 17 and within driving distance of each other but I don’t know what to do. I feel awful because I’ve never really had a relationship with him or spoken with him much and now he’s almost unrecognizable and can barely speak and all I want to to is to be there for her and her family but I have never had to be in a situation like this and I don’t know how to go about it.

i feel like my bf is insecure and controlling

9 Upvotes

i don't really know what to do. i really love him. we clicked so well, we were so alike. the first person i've been my true self around. someone i can be vulnerable around. as an autistic girl that is all i've yearned for.

the past week i've been having nothing but bad/negative dreams. tonight i had a dream of him accusing me of cheating on him

(i have not cheated, never will.) but that is something he's very worried about. he brings it up countless times. don't get me wrong, i don't mind reassurance at all. i want my partner to feel at ease and feel like they can trust me.

but i feel like all i do is get accused and then reassure.

it's tiring. it's been almost 2 years now.

his ex called him controlling and insecure. he expressed to me how much he didn't like that. and i understood and respected that. nobody wants to be called that.

but now i feel like i'm starting to understand her.

yesterday we got into an argument about me going out for halloween. he said "i just don't want you walking around with your whole titties and ass out"

keep in mind, i want to go with my parents to watch a parade. why the hell would i wear something like that in front of my parents. or in general. he knows i never dress like that and never will. especially because i know he'd lose his shit

i do not even leave the house. i am anxious to even check my mailbox. i have severe anxiety with the outside world. i'm trying to work on going outside and becoming okay with it.

and i'm worried he may have also contributed to it. because whenever i go out, i'm worried to death about his opinion. any little interaction that happens, and god forbid a man look my way or compliment me, i'm worried sick of how mad he'll be.

he gets extremely defensive and annoyed if i dare to bring up that he's being controlling or insecure. he always thinks that he's completely justified

i'm just getting tired of it after almost 2 years. i've been nothing but extremely loyal. i dedicate so much to him. i give him my social media logins, i reassure him, he has my live location, i show him what im wearing wherever i go, i show him proof i have a
bra on if i go out, all that and he's still not happy. he still accuses me.

i don't know if i can say necessarily "accusing" me. but that's what it feels like. i'm tired of being treated like i'm not loyal when i won't even acknowledge another man and i cover my entire body up. it's still never good enough.

i feel shitty for thinking it but i'm starting to think he *IS* controlling and insecure, and it's starting to drive me up a wall.

the argument only started last night because i finally snapped back and asked him
*why would you even think that i'm going to dress like that?*
he says because that's what all girls do.

i am *so* sick of him saying that.

he constantly blames all women and takes it out on me.

but then he always says he trusts me. then why do you keep comparing me to other women who do stuff you're uncomfortable with? when i never do those things.. and i'm infact the complete opposite and isolate myself.. what is there to even worry about at this point..

he knows i'm horribly anxious, and the longer i don't go outside the more isolated i'll become.

i feel like an asshole for thinking like this and getting tired of it now. i thought he would eventually stop and believe me after almost 2 years of me being nothing but dedicated to him and only him. but i feel like he only gets worse. when i go out or get dressed, all i can think about his him and his opinions. whether he'd be angry or not. whether he'd be okay with it. if a guy interacted with me, god forbid flirted, i would be horribly anxious and feel like throwing up. not just because i don't like interacting with strangers, but because i know my boyfriend is gonna flip.

he takes extreme offense to even the words "controlling" and "insecure" and absolutely loses his mind if i say it. it's like a trigger. when i'm just trying to communicate how i honestly feel. he won't even listen to it if it includes those words.

i really do love him more than anything. but this is pushing me away. on top of him just getting lazy in the relationship. i feel like i'm the only one putting all this effort. even after communicating to him nothing changes.

i hate that this has become a factor of my life.

Husband is sensitive over a hypothetical situation

5 Upvotes

My husband and I have been married for two years and together for 8 - we recently welcomed our first baby 5 months ago.

Earlier, we were discussing how crazy time has flown by, how we made it work despite our setbacks. He then proceeded to tell me stories about his childhood, how it was anarchy growing up (for context, his parents are divorced and both re-married). My husband despises his ‘step-dad’ for understandable reasons, like stealing, lying, manipulating etc.

The conversation went on about how my husband didn’t like how soon he was introduced and made to live with his step-dad. So I said, “yeah that must’ve been incredibly stressful, I wouldn’t dare do it that way if we hypothetically didn’t work out!”

I haven’t been thinking about splitting up at all, but rather giving two pence about what I would do in that situation if confronted with it.

My husband responded, with a lot of frustration, that “you keep talking about stuff like that and it’s pissing me off”. I did not think this at all, and I have no idea where he’s coming from.

I feel bad for saying what I said but I didn’t mean anything by it! What do I do?

Youngest sibling here: how do I support a brother who hides when he's struggling?

• Upvotes

I have two older brothers and I'm the youngest. I recently found out my second brother (22M) is going through a rough phase. We've never really been the type to talk about our problems with each other. I mean we laugh together and all that and we are there for each other, but I think all of us are too shy to show it.

He's pretty private and never lets on when he's down. And since I'm the youngest, there's that unspoken thing where people don't open up to the baby of the family. If I bring it up, I'm pretty sure he'll just say "I'm fine" or "it's nothing."

I don't know what to say or how to approach him. How do I let him know I'm here for him without making it awkward?

My( 24F) fiance (24M) will not stop farting

I need advice. As the title states my(24F) fiancé (24M), literally will not stop farting. He farts non stop. Sometimes he doesn't even realize he's farting until he's mid fart. It's disgusting honestly. I understand that it's a normal bodily function but this is non fucking stop. I've tried talking to him about it but he doesn't care! He thinks it's hilarious! It's so bad that i literally lose my appetite because he will fart while I'm eating. He will purposely turn his ass towards me just to fart. I'm at my wits end. It's disgusting. And it's smells so fucking bad. Like something crawled up there and died. And it's fucking loud! Loud enough to wake him up from sleep and loud enough that our cats run away! There was a time when my sister and I were outside the house, near where the bedroom was, and I kid you fucking not we heard him fart so loud. I wish I was fucking joking. He leaves for the military next month and as much as I want to be sad about it, I'm not! I'm so fucking excited for him to be gone so that I won't have to deal with his ass. I love him. I truly do. But this is disgusting. I just need advice honestly. I've brought up seeing a doctor but he refuses. Has anyone dealt with anything like this before???

TLDR: my fiancee farts so much and it's driving me insane

I think my Ex’s new baby might be mine and I don’t know what to do.

3 Upvotes

This is my first ever post on Reddit, so if I get things wrong feel free to tell me.

I (37M) recently found out my ex (33F) we will call her K has had a baby. The thing is that we split up about 9 months ago and it wasn’t great. She wanted a lot more than I was ready for. It caused a lot of issues and I thought it be better to end it early then let it go one and let her think that it has a chance to change anytime soon.
She moved on very quickly after, about a week and a half. Her new bf is a long time friend and I’m happy for them both. It was my choice to leave the relationship and wish them all the best.

I didn’t know anything about the baby, until my friend posted it on Facebook. At first I was thrilled about it for them, as they are happy and my friend deserves that. But after doing the math, something felt off, I realised that it all lined up to our last few days together and the last few times we slept together.

I looked at the photos and realised how much the baby looked not only like myself as a baby but also my two children. She has my eyes and chin (my family has a distinct butt chin 🤣😅). She is ginger like me, but so is my friend so that doesn’t help.

The thought of her being mine and not being part of her life kills me. But if she isn’t mine I don’t want to but in and look like I’m trying to make it about me and or possibly ruining their relationship. I have spoken to my friend, doing the usual congratulations. I then brought it up in confidence and he’s adamant the baby is his.

I’m so torn. I adore my children, and if she is mine, I want to be part of her life too. But I don’t want to over step. I just don’t know what to do.

Update, everyone seems so hostile. I wanted advice, I wasn’t looking for sympathy. I was hoping you all could help me with my own thoughts. I understand that my approach was tactless. My heart ruled my heart.

I’ve told my friend I’ll back off after reading all the comments. I appreciate those who commented seriously whether they were good or bad comments. Though leaving it has broke me, in a way I can’t explain.

I will always be open to her being my daughter. I’m willing to put in the effort if it comes out she is mine.
I’m meeting my friend tomorrow at his request, to talk. We are still friends and I will always see him as such. Even if she is mine, I’ll be lucky to be one of her dads with him.

I don’t know what to do about a situation at work :/

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I need some advice on a situation at my new job. For context, I’m 22F and I’ve only been working at this local bar for about a month. I genuinely really like the job so far, but I’m struggling to navigate a weird dynamic with one of my older coworkers.

A bit of quick backstory on me: I dated a guy named Aiden (23M) for 4 years. We broke up this past summer and he moved away, I started this new bartending job. Through the breakup and everything, I am completely NOT looking for a relationship, marriage, or kids. I’ve been VERY open multiple times about being 22, young, and not wanting anything with ANYONE.

At my new job, there are two main guys I work with: Nathan (21M) and Aiden (32M, yes, same name as my ex).

At first, 32M Aiden and I got along really well and he was super welcoming. One night after work, we hung out and I opened up to him about my ex, my neurodivergence, family stuff, and explicitly told him that even if the perfect guy walked into the bar, I wouldn’t go for him because I’m just not in the right headspace. He told me about his ex, and it felt like a normal, friendly conversation.

After that, things got weird fast. He got my phone number without my consent by going behind my back to another coworker. Then he started texting me every single day to hang out and sent me around 8 Instagram Reels a day. It felt very needy, which triggered my anxieties from my past relationship, so I stopped replying to the Reels and turned down hangouts. At work, he would confront me and ask why I won't answer his messages or if I hate him. I kept reiterating that I’m an extremely busy person and just not on social media much.

He also brought up that he knows where I live. We live in the same general neighborhood, and he told me he drove past my house on his way to his uncle's house, who allegedly lives a few doors down from me, and mentioned that he saw me getting into my car.

Eventually, he backed off on the texting. Around that time, I noticed how he interacted with our other younger coworkers (Emma 23, Landon 17, Nathan 21, Freddy 20, Emily 20). He treated everyone with the same exact intense energy. Seeing that made me relax a bit. I figured I was just being paranoid and that he was just a naturally intense guy rather than targeting me.

Fast forward to recently. This past Saturday, Emma and Freddy (who are siblings) hosted a hangout with Emily, Nathan, Aiden, and me. It went great with no weird vibes at all, which made me feel even more comfortable around him.

Then on Monday night, Aiden asked if I wanted to grab a drink at our work bar. Since I felt comfortable again, and because I've seen him go out 1 on 1 with Nathan or Emma, I said sure. But because I prefer groups over 1 on 1, I invited Nathan and a 23M regular from the bar as well.

At the bar, Aiden kept teasingly saying he wanted to fight me. It was off putting, but I brushed it off.
Later that night, I got too drunk to drive, so we all decided to head to a second bar. Everything felt safe and normal, and I felt like one of the bros. Afterward, Aiden drove us back. He dropped Nathan off first, and was supposed to take me back to my car, which was parked at our work bar right next to his apartment.

This is where it turned completely inappropriate. While driving back, instead of going straight to the bar, Aiden suddenly turned into his apartment neighborhood. I was in the passenger seat dancing to the music and pumping my fist back and forth, not realizing how it looked.

As soon as he turned into his complex, I immediately asked what he was doing. He turned to me, mimicked my hand movement by jerking his hand back and forth like a handjob motion, and asked what that meant.

I was so disgusted and shocked and said, "What? I was dancing. Why are we at your house?"

He replied, "I thought we were having a good time?"

I told him, "We are, but it's 3 AM and I have work at 8 AM. Please take me to my car."

He ended up dropping me off at my car, and I went straight home.

For context on a previous situation: a couple of weeks ago, a very attractive 27M customer named Carson came in while Aiden and Nathan were working. Carson was super into me, and after my shift, a group of us went to another bar. Carson got very drunk and started hitting on me and trying to make moves, but I shut it down because I wasn't ready for anything. Later, Aiden brought it up and said he noticed Carson was trying stuff and wanted to make sure I wasn't uncomfortable. I told Aiden directly that I thought Carson was super cute, but I was not in a place to do anything, and honestly 27 was too old for me anyway. So Aiden knew 100 percent where my boundaries were regarding hookups and age gaps.

Anyway, after he dropped me off last night, we exchanged some texts which I will post in the comments.

As a woman, I’m genuinely worried. I’m very upset with myself for over sharing with him so much and i’m very upset he got my number and knows where I live. I don’t know what to do I’m scared and I don’t want to provoke him.

How do you shake the feeling of someone?

3 Upvotes

I 25f worked with my 22m ex GM for a year. I worked under him as his assistant for 9 months of it. For context, he never flirted with me. Never made me uncomfortable. I never seen him like that. Almost like a little brother. We worked long hours in a hotel and doubt with some annoying shit. Lol. We were just good friends and coworkers. When I tell you it never crossed my mind 😭

I got into it with the owner, my GMs dad, and quit. I’m a quitter when I get pissed off. Omg especially if I’m on my period. Anyways Got a job at the hotel next door.

My ex GM came over to talk to the GM at new job for whatever reason my 3rd day at new job. And my new assistant manager said “ have you ever noticed the way he looks at you?”

And I just kind of made a face. It’s not the first time someone had said something to me, I’ve had guests ask if my ex GM and I were together. I’ve had guests ask my employees if him and I were together. I’ve always just been like ew.

I’ve been gone from the job for about three months. Like I said I work at the hotel next door. My ex GM called and offered me the employee rate again. Despite me quitting and working next door. And for some reason, since then, my mind has been wondering off. He had a girlfriend last I knew, and I don’t think I’d ever go there, like I said my initial reaction is ew, but why am I having these thoughts?? Why am I wondering??

Trying to make friends

5 Upvotes

I’m a 23 year old female. I’m a married college student with no kids and I want to make friends. I live in salt lake county I’m into reading, cozy video games, painting, bedazzling, coloring. I love coffee, shopping (especially thrifting), and I’m down for pretty much everything. Any advice on how to make some friends?

I found out my friend has been telling other people something I asked her to keep private

I told my friend something personal because I trusted her and made it clear I didn't want anyone else knowing. Recently, some else brought it up in conversation, and I realized my friend had been talking about it behind my back. I feel embarrassed and honestly a little stupid for trusting her. I haven't confronted her properly yet because I'm not sure if I'm overreacting of if this is a reason to distance myself. Should I bring it up or just let the friendship fade?
