2024.05.15 02:11 mooncakee22 Was this a starting EA?
Hi there, long time lurker (since DDay last december) here but first time poster! Before I make this post, I want to clarify that I will be using the correct jargon and abbreviations for this subreddit, although I am still not sure wether my story belongs here. So here goes!
Me (31F), the BP and my WP (30M) have been together for 4 years now. December 2023 I caught my WP in what I believe was a starting EA. I had suspicions for while though, since it started in May 2022. Things were odd in my opinion, but I've also found it wasn't anything like most stories i'd read of EA's and nevee thought it was just me being silly.
WP was finishing his degree and he had half a year of a curriculum to follow still, with a new school and classmates. He found a friend group (all around 19/20 years old) there that he enjoyed hanging out with. Total of 4 guys (including him) and 2 girls. The curriculum ended with a 4-day schooltrip, after which he started acting weird. He was glued to his phone and distant. So much so that he ruined our anniversary dinner. He was completely distant, and when i suggested annoyingly that we might as well just leave, his response was "sure." And so we did.
I got tired of this behaviour and confronted him with it. It then came out that it was because it was a very emotional trip, where he revealed some traume about himself to his classmates, and didnt know how to reveal it to me and was afraid. I found this very strange as I did not see the connection to his distant behaviour in that. I won't go into detail but i personally did not find it anything to be ashamed of. As far as I know nothing happened there (though now, I will never know I guess), only that it was very much some teenager frat party for the entire trip.
Over the next 1,5 years from that trip in May 2022, WP and this group of friends stayed in contact. It wasn't much, and they'd see each other every 2 or 3 months, but WP did have considerably more text conact with one girl (AP), although it wasn't as much as most EA stories I read, like once a month (much more right after the trip though). Whenever he'd meet the friend group, WP would make it a thing to avoid inviting me. I'd seen them only twice in that whole time. He would either inform me a week before the meetup he was gonna go there, without invitation, or let me know right before or not at all (i later found in text messages, on meetups that never happened). It was always with the group though.
Don't get me wrong, I probably would've declined invitations anyway as they were way too young imo, but that fact he went out of is way to not include me was odd. Besides that i absolutely believe its healthy to also have friend alone time besides partner. But still, it struck me as strange.
This went on until he told me beginning of last december he was going for a weekend away with them at some point. His behaviour was beyond weird and awkward, as if he was asking his mom something he knew the answer was gonna be 'no' to. Thats when, a week later, i needed his phone for something, and it urged me to check messages with AP.
There it became apparant they had a much closer bond, albeit the little contact. There was mostly joking, but also some flirtation, mostly from her side. I found it during the 4 day school trip she had been telling him that people were gossiping because she supposedly was in love with him, and looking at hime alot and asked him if he minded the gossip. WP's response was "pff i dont care, ill look back at you like im in love, let them talk". There was also alot of venting from her about her bf, and him being the support for it all. I used to admire WP's need to help others, now it just makes me wanna vomit.
In the more recent convo's between them she was telling him to ask my permission for a weekend away, which is strange imo as friends, to do that. She started joking abouy skinny dippinh after. After that she was venting about the break up between her bf and her, how she was so "sex deprived" after a week, WP was happily joking alongš until she suggested that she'd get her fix with WP. WP's answer was ambigious, in our language it could equally mean "too bad for you I am taken" or "unfortunately I am taken already". AP reacted somewhere along the lines of "im only joking you know thatššš". WP replied "i know babezš"
Had read most of it at this point and had enough. I confronted him 2 weeks later. What followed was me yelling and crying, and him trying to explain everything with logic. Not once did he reassure or comfort me. Not until I asked him to. He didn't cut contact with AP immediately, but did so a week later. He decided that on his own and decided to do it when we were both at work. It was another stab in the back because it felt like he just wanted to control the narrative. I did check his phone at this time and he started deleting stuff, he also wasn't fully aware what I knew at this point (mind you he never deleted stuff before and phones were always open for each other) I asked him multiplie times if he wasnt deleting and lying about stuff, in comes the TT, lying and denyingš. It wasn't until i mentioned, multiple times that I knew he was deleting and lying about stuff. His response "ohyeah, no i remember i did delete some stuff". He never fully aknowledged his betrayal, nor his TT and lying. He did fully block AP, went NC, as well as with the entire friend group, but he has done nothing to fix this. He keeps saying "he doesn't know how to fix it", even though he shows remorse and says he never wanted AP or meant anything with it, i guess throwing away our relationship meant less then "anything" then if thats the case. I feel like it's not my problem to fix, he has google and other resources to try and find a way but he just doesn't.
I am hurt, humiliated and angry. He has done nothing right in this proces, i feel. He has been rugsweeping, not been transparant, went NC with AP by blaming himself and coddling her. blocked her. Unblocked her again and then blocked again. Ofcourse no visible messages, but i cannot no for sure there werent any. AP's last message to WP was "i hope ill talk to you again at school XYZ". So apparantly they had discussed going there together next, something i knew nothing of while I was trying to help him find a good next school (which he was always dismissing, now i know why). I feel my resentment for him grow, even though he has been more sweet to me lately. I feel he has not even acknowledged the gravity of what he has done to me. The only thing he did 'right' was voluntarily telling me he gave AP a neck massage once at one of these meetups, I did not know at all. Apparantly she messaged him after rather flirtasiously afterwards, which was deleted.
We are not in IC or CC, as our workschedules don't allow it, though, to be fair he has not initiated it either and I also refuse to do it myself. Sometimes i even doubt this was an EA and it's in my head, but the pain is very very real. Advice is welcome, thank you and sorry for the long read<3
EDIT: I forgot to add that WP did explain his avoidance behaviour and clingyness to this group, he felt like he could finally be the center of attention there, since he couldnt with me and my friends, especially since im an extrovert and WP is an introvert. Thats why he never wanted me with these meetups. Also because he moved from pretty far to my place and these where the only friends who werent 2 hours away

2024.05.15 01:18 Fit_Wrangler7484 Ex is threatening to leak my nudes
EDIT: Heās also threatening to doxx me.
If anyone has a good insight or could help, I badly need it.
ALSO! Please, I know I shouldnāt have done it in the first place so it would be nice not to reiterate it. Iām just looking answers on my situation.
I donāt want to say too much about me because of anxiety but, I am from Asia and heās from Canada.
A little summary, I broke it off because I got fed up, but he couldnāt accept it. He has been trying to win me back but I kept rejecting so I guess thatās why heās mad. Before he threatened me about leaking my nudes, we were bickering about something and he asked me to block him and that if I donāt, heād do something. And so I did block him, then unblocked because of fear. He has been trying to add me on snap multiple times after I removed him. I ignored him for days. I forgot to block his number and he texted me and threatened to send it to someone else and that person is going to do the leaking (Mind you, this person that heās going to send it to is known to keep peopleās nudes and spread them).
I gave in and added him back to try to talk him out of it. It seems that heās firm on wanting to do it and he kept saying he wouldnāt change his mind.
Iām almost getting panic attacks.
I am not sure if itās already out or not.
I have receipts of him threatening to leak it though but would that be enough? What do I do? How do I report it when Iām in Asia and heās in Canada? Is there something I can do about it?
*I forgot to add we are both in our 20s. *Sorry if itās a little confusing, english is my second language.

2024.05.15 00:19 Electronic-Silver-31 Ex-best friend just resurfaced
Iām going to try to get to the point with only the important details. I(34f) had a best friend(34f) of 20+ years. It was no secret that her and her husband were having problems. Heās an ass hole and he is emotionally abusive to her and her kids. I always supported her in doing whatever was best for her family. She cheated on him. He cheated on her. Woopty Doo. I didnāt support her cheating and she knew that, but I didnāt tell her husband. Anyway, about half a year ago he found out about her cheating. It was big and nasty, he was threatening to kill her, kidnap her and make her watch him fuck other women, crazy shit. He was acting CRAZY. I thought their painful relationship would be over. I was trying to give her all the support she needed. Told her Iād be there whatever happened between the two of them. A few days passed and she stopped talking to me. Then one day I get a call. The call is of her letting me know that she needed to take a break from our friendship for at least six months to work on her relationship with her husband. She couldnāt talk to him like she could me so I needed to be removed from the picture for them to succeed. I told her, hey, I support whatever it is that you think is best for your family and I wish you the best of luck. I hung up on her, and blocked her. In my opinion, that isnāt how friendships work.
Today I get a message from a random number asking if I could unblock them so we could talk. I had no idea who it was, so I asked. She told me her name and I didnāt respond. She then told me not to hate her. I told her I donāt, but I do hate her husband(but maybe I do honestly hate her to). She told me not to hate him either, that she had some shit to work out, and I let her know that was good for her. Now sheās asking if Iām really going to end our friendship for her doing what was best for her family?
I think yes. If removing me from your life is what is best for your family, that says everything about our relationship. I havenāt responded yet.
I came on here asking for advice on how to move forward. 1. Am I being an asshole or not? 2. Is it in my best interest to keep this person out of my life?
It is weird. I about to get married and thought of her recently and this happens. I feel confused on the situation.
Thanks for any advice.

2024.05.15 00:12 psycholpn Non custodial parent have right to contact child whenever they want?
Daughter is 15, I am her full legal parent. Bio dad has no legal parental rights but does have visitation. He had her the weekend he was arrested in November. Since then we have had him blocked on her cell phone, of which she is all for. When we let her know we blocked him on her phone (due to constant barrage of texts of how heās not at fault for him being arrested) she was in agreement of him being blocked continuing. Since November his visitation went from every other weekend to supervised every other sat/sun. He figured out this past weekend that he was blocked. And gave her a hard time about it because he was letting her know that he was running late. Heās supposed to be visiting with her at my parentās place and didnāt reach out to them or my husband and I. Just in case itās asked, my husband and I pay for the cell phone and he doesnāt help financially in any way. Iām only curious if he actually has a right to direct contact to her. She doesnāt want to unblock him, however I did tell her that during this time she doesnāt have to tell him that itās also her choice as well. I didnāt tell her but I worry that he will be upset and take it out on her verbally.
So does he have a right to contact her directly?

REPORT: While the average nominal monthly salary does not always show the level of economic prosperity in a region, its rise has made a tangible difference in Syunik.
SUREN PARSYAN (economist): Syunik has higher wages and strong employment. It is the most prosperous province with the lowest unemployment rate in Armenia: 24% in Armenia, 15% in Yerevan, and 2% in Syunik.
REPORT: Over the last 5 years, the average monthly nominal salaries have risen by 40% while the inflation was 21%.

Now the situation is totally different; citizens know that they are powerful enough to decide. The two general elections that were held in Armenia after the Velvet Revolution have been acknowledged as democratic, free, and competitive both by the Armenian society and the international community.
Armenia made huge progress in strengthening the democratic institutions, an achievement reflected in reputable democracy indexes:
(a) Now we are the 43rd in the Reporters Without Bordersā Freedom of Speech index, compared to 79th place in 2017.
(b) Categorized as having partially free internet in 2017 by Freedom House, now we enjoy the status of a country with free internet.
(c) In Transparency Internationalās Corruption Perception Index, Armenia is now 62nd instead of 107th in 2017.
(d) In the Economist Intelligence Unitās democracy index we are 84th compared to 111th in 2017.
In order to assess this progress, it's essential to note that alongside democratic reforms, Armenia has been contending with external security challenges: the 44-day war in Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan's invasion of Armenia in 2021 and 2022 and the occupation of over 200 km2 amid inaction by [Russia's] CSTO, the forced displacement of over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, have cast doubts among Armenian citizens weather democracy is the right choice. So, democracy needs to prove its efficiency while dealing with security, economic and humanitarian challenges.
We are pleased with the deployment of EU monitoring mission alongside the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, and we welcome EUās decision to expand its capacity. On the other hand, we hope for the inclusion of Armenia into the European Peace Facility and in this regard, we rely on the support of all EU member states [Hungary].
A new set of commitments aimed at strengthening Armeniaās economic resilience, state institutions, and addressing the humanitarian needs of refugees has been taken on by the European Union and United States during the high-level meeting on April 5 in Brussels. The rapid and effective implementation of those commitments is of utmost importance.
Despite all the challenges, we believe that the real and most aspiring companion for democracy is lasting and sustainable peace. My government took the share of its responsibility for this. Recently we reached an agreement with Azerbaijan to launch the delimitation of our interstate borders on the basis of the Almaty Declaration of 1991. That means that during the delimitation we should simply reproduce the Soviet-era administrative borders. This is the implementation of the agreement reached in Prague in 2022. Now it is time to incorporate and reflect those agreements in the peace treaty and have it signed.
Another key point for our regional stability is the Ā«Crossroads of PeaceĀ», project, initiated by my government. This project implies that Armenia and Azerbaijan restore and open transport and other communications in accordance with the sovereignty and jurisdiction of the countries through which they pass, and comply with the principles of equality and reciprocity. These elements of the concept were agreed upon during the July 2023 meeting with Ilham Aliyev and Charles Michel. //
PASHINYAN: I would not like to comment on the internal situation of our neighboring countries. Democracy fully corresponds to the mentality of our people. It is a strategy for our government, it is our political belief, it is also our political identity. The members of our political team have spent most of their lives fighting for democracy, the rule of law, and freedom of speech. Now we have the opportunity to realize all these values in our country.
The security situation was complicated because of the regional and global situation; the world order is collapsing at the moment. My assessment is, and I have had occasion to say this publicly, that the 2020 war was a prelude to further developments. And now the main issue is security.
What is our strategic point of view, how are we going to guarantee the security of our country? Recently, I gave a speech in our parliament, where I said that the most important tool for ensuring security is a foreign policy based on legitimacy. This is the reason why we so often speak about the 1991 Almaty Declaration.
It is very important that during the 2022 Prague meeting, two very important agreements were reached. Armenia and Azerbaijan recognize each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty on the basis of the Almaty Declaration and will use it as the basis for the border demarcation. This is the reason why I said that we are not drawing a new border, we just need to reproduce the existing one on the ground. This process is happening right now, and I hope that we will continue it steadfastly.
REPORTER: The border conflict that has occurred in recent years has had a negative impact on relations with Russia and Russia's role for Armenia. What would you say about this?
PASHINYAN: Armenia is a member of CSTO. We are officially a CSTO member, but I have announced that we have frozen our participation.
REPORTER: So are you still a member or...?
PASHINYAN: It is a matter for further discussion, but it is very important to record the current situation. A crisis arose in our relations after Azerbaijani troops invaded Armenia, and according to CSTO procedures, the Organization and its member states had to support Armenia in this situation. But even after the formal application, the CSTO refused to take any concrete steps, and in fact, that is the main reason for freezing our participation in the CSTO at all levels.
REPORTER: Do you expect the West to occupy the current vacuum and ensure your security?
PASHINYAN: We are diversifying our foreign relations in all spheres. Now we are developing defense cooperation with India, France, and other countries. We have a certain cooperation with the European Union because as I mentioned, we are happy about the deployment of the EU Civilian Observation Mission on the border. It is a civilian mission but in a way, it is a new factor for the security of our region. This is the first time that the European Union participates in the security agenda of Armenia.
REPORTER: Would you like to become an EU member?
PASHINYAN: We are waiting for the EU's decision to include Armenia in the European Peace Facility. We also hope to start visa liberalization negotiations, and last year I announced in the European Parliament that Armenia is ready to be as close to the European Union as the European Union deems it possible. This is our position.
REPORTER: Can you elaborate on what initiatives Armenia is taking in the fight against corruption?
PASHINYAN: We have made huge progress but have not eradicated corruption from Armenia. We must continue to be persistent in the agenda of democratic reforms. This is the reason why cooperation with the European Union is of utmost importance for us because today the European Union is our main partner in the implementation of our democratic reform agenda. We hope that the European Union, as well as the USA, will increase their support to Armenia in the implementation of democratic reforms, because, as I said, democracy is a strategy for us.
By the way, in 2019 we started a Strategic Dialogue with the USA, and today we see the strengthening of our cooperation with the European Union. We recently had a tripartite meeting with the participation of the USA, EU, and Armenia. It was an unprecedented format, where we adopted a huge agenda of institutional and economic reforms. It is also very important that we receive more tangible support from the EU and the US to address the humanitarian needs of the Nagorno Karabakh refugees because it is a very sensitive and emotional issue for us.
REPORTER: In which year would you like Armenia to become a member of the EU?
PASHINYAN: This year [as soon as possible]. //

Yesterday the protest co-organizer Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan said he received a report suggesting that the Deputy Rector of Yerevan State University supposedly urged deans and others to retaliate against students who joined the protests. Galstanyan said he was unsure whether the report was true, but decided to read it out loud anyway. On Tuesday he rallied his supporters to the backyard of the University where he demanded to speak with the Deputy Rector for clarification.
The Deputy Rector went downstairs and greeted Galstanyan, who shook her hand but wouldn't let it go for an uncomfortably long period, prompting her to ask him to let go of her hand. The Deputy Rector declared that whatever Galstanyan read about her was a defamatory lie.
GALSTANYAN: I never believed it myself.
DEPUTY RECTOR: Then you should not have said out loud something you did not believe.
GALSTANYAN: Listen, there is a recorded fact...
DEPUTY RECTOR: Where is that "recorded fact"?
GALSTANYAN: It was on the media. As I said yesterday, I had no verification that it was true, which is why we came here to clarify it. If it's false, then I apologize.
DEPUTY RECTOR: Thank you. //
The Deputy Rector urged the protest organizers not to enter the building or disrupt the classes, and that "anyone who wants to follow you can follow you, anyone who wants to stay in classrooms should stay in classrooms".
The angry Deputy Rector left. Another university official criticized Galstanyan for not checking the information before reading it to his followers. Galstanyan said he stands behind his words, and that he was "just reading what was on the media", but reiterated that he had no intention to insult the Deputy Rector.

In related news, on Sunday a ruling faction MP complained about receiving death threats with reference to Operation Nemesis.

In 2018 Pashinyan organized a fundraising for it and disclosed a detailed report. (2) Should the media organizations that do not respect the rules of financial transparency enjoy all the mechanisms for the protection of journalists? (3) Are the customs authorities confident that the church is not facilitating the business activities of certain figures disguised as donations? (4) Is it fair for the church and clergy members not to pay taxes? Should they be able to have a Bently and LX570 without paying taxes? [The "Bentley" is based on a true story.]

from PM Pashinyan's speech at Copenhagen Democracy Summit:
PASHINYAN: Democracy has indeed become a reality in Armenia. Before the 2018 Velvet Revolution, massive electoral frauds were the usual companion of elections in Armenia. There was no trust among the citizens that there was a real chance for them to elect the government.Now the situation is totally different; citizens know that they are powerful enough to decide. The two general elections that were held in Armenia after the Velvet Revolution have been acknowledged as democratic, free, and competitive both by the Armenian society and the international community.
Armenia made huge progress in strengthening the democratic institutions, an achievement reflected in reputable democracy indexes:
(a) Now we are the 43rd in the Reporters Without Bordersā Freedom of Speech index, compared to 79th place in 2017.
(b) Categorized as having partially free internet in 2017 by Freedom House, now we enjoy the status of a country with free internet.
(c) In Transparency Internationalās Corruption Perception Index, Armenia is now 62nd instead of 107th in 2017.
(d) In the Economist Intelligence Unitās democracy index we are 84th compared to 111th in 2017.
In order to assess this progress, it's essential to note that alongside democratic reforms, Armenia has been contending with external security challenges: the 44-day war in Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan's invasion of Armenia in 2021 and 2022 and the occupation of over 200 km2 amid inaction by [Russia's] CSTO, the forced displacement of over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, have cast doubts among Armenian citizens weather democracy is the right choice. So, democracy needs to prove its efficiency while dealing with security, economic and humanitarian challenges.
We are pleased with the deployment of EU monitoring mission alongside the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, and we welcome EUās decision to expand its capacity. On the other hand, we hope for the inclusion of Armenia into the European Peace Facility and in this regard, we rely on the support of all EU member states [Hungary].
A new set of commitments aimed at strengthening Armeniaās economic resilience, state institutions, and addressing the humanitarian needs of refugees has been taken on by the European Union and United States during the high-level meeting on April 5 in Brussels. The rapid and effective implementation of those commitments is of utmost importance.
Despite all the challenges, we believe that the real and most aspiring companion for democracy is lasting and sustainable peace. My government took the share of its responsibility for this. Recently we reached an agreement with Azerbaijan to launch the delimitation of our interstate borders on the basis of the Almaty Declaration of 1991. That means that during the delimitation we should simply reproduce the Soviet-era administrative borders. This is the implementation of the agreement reached in Prague in 2022. Now it is time to incorporate and reflect those agreements in the peace treaty and have it signed.
Another key point for our regional stability is the Ā«Crossroads of PeaceĀ», project, initiated by my government. This project implies that Armenia and Azerbaijan restore and open transport and other communications in accordance with the sovereignty and jurisdiction of the countries through which they pass, and comply with the principles of equality and reciprocity. These elements of the concept were agreed upon during the July 2023 meeting with Ilham Aliyev and Charles Michel. //
... Politico reporter's Q&A with Pashinyan
REPORTER: [Ex-NATO leader] Anders Fogh Rasmussen called your neighbor an autocracy. You are in a very difficult geopolitical and geographical position. How do you solve the security problem in that environment?PASHINYAN: I would not like to comment on the internal situation of our neighboring countries. Democracy fully corresponds to the mentality of our people. It is a strategy for our government, it is our political belief, it is also our political identity. The members of our political team have spent most of their lives fighting for democracy, the rule of law, and freedom of speech. Now we have the opportunity to realize all these values in our country.
The security situation was complicated because of the regional and global situation; the world order is collapsing at the moment. My assessment is, and I have had occasion to say this publicly, that the 2020 war was a prelude to further developments. And now the main issue is security.
What is our strategic point of view, how are we going to guarantee the security of our country? Recently, I gave a speech in our parliament, where I said that the most important tool for ensuring security is a foreign policy based on legitimacy. This is the reason why we so often speak about the 1991 Almaty Declaration.
It is very important that during the 2022 Prague meeting, two very important agreements were reached. Armenia and Azerbaijan recognize each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty on the basis of the Almaty Declaration and will use it as the basis for the border demarcation. This is the reason why I said that we are not drawing a new border, we just need to reproduce the existing one on the ground. This process is happening right now, and I hope that we will continue it steadfastly.
REPORTER: The border conflict that has occurred in recent years has had a negative impact on relations with Russia and Russia's role for Armenia. What would you say about this?

temperatures are rising rapidly in Armenia
REPORTER: The rainy May is not going to be enough to alleviate the negative consequences of the rapidly rising temperatures in Armenia. With a ~3 Celsius anomaly, Armenia had the second-highest increase in temperature over the last 6 months among a group of monitored countries.WEATHER CENTER: High temperatures increase the evaporation of water and reduce the amount of snow in the winter. In December and January, we recorded rain instead of snow in certain mountainous regions, which is bad for water resources.
REPORTER: A conference was recently held in Yerevan within the framework of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification.
UN official: Around 40% of global soils are degraded. Millions of people will be forced to migrate from their communities by 2050 as a result of climate problems. Emergency action is needed to reduce the rate of rising temperatures. //
Armenia joined the Convention three decades ago and has assumed the responsibility to restore degraded soil by 2030. The government is promoting drip irrigation systems for farming and wants to plant more trees.

Armenia and Iran discussed the construction of a second bridge over the River Araks
The first bridge began operating in 1996. It came to replace the floating bridges on the river.Iran says the AM-IR traffic through the Meghri checkpoint significantly increased last year. Coupled with the fact that Armenia is building a modern North-South highway, they believe it's necessary to have a second AM-IR bridge to handle the rising traffic.
The parties are currently discussing the formation of a working group consisting of experts to discuss the topic.

a new study on mice indicates that more exercise might be better than more sleep for clearing brain of toxins
They injected a dye into a brain and tracked the speed of its movement during sleep and exercise.The findings show that the clearance of the dye was reduced by 30% in sleeping mice compared with mice that were kept awake. This has not been confirmed on humans yet.
Previous research has suggested that sleep is important for preventing dementia as it is during this time that toxic proteins are cleared from the brain.

2024.05.15 00:05 Electronic-Silver-31 My ex best friend of 20 years just resurfaced
Iām going to try to get to the point with only the important details. I(34f) had a best friend(34f) of 20+ years. It was no secret that her and her husband were having problems. Heās an ass hole and he is emotionally abusive to her and her kids. I always supported her in doing whatever was best for her family. She cheated on him. He cheated on her. Woopty Doo. I didnāt support her cheating and she knew that, but I didnāt tell her husband. Anyway, about half a year ago he found out about her cheating. It was big and nasty, he was threatening to kill her, kidnap her and make her watch him fuck other women, crazy shit. He was acting CRAZY. I thought their painful relationship would be over. I was trying to give her all the support she needed. Told her Iād be there whatever happened between the two of them. A few days passed and she stopped talking to me. Then one day I get a call. The call is of her letting me know that she needed to take a break from our friendship for at least six months to work on her relationship with her husband. She couldnāt talk to him like she could me so I needed to be removed from the picture for them to succeed. I told her, hey, I support whatever it is that you think is best for your family and I wish you the best of luck. I hung up on her, and blocked her. In my opinion, that isnāt how friendships work.
Today I get a message from a random number asking if I could unblock them so we could talk. I had no idea who it was, so I asked. She told me her name and I didnāt respond. She then told me not to hate her. I told her I donāt, but I do hate her husband(but maybe I do honestly hate her to). She told me not to hate him either, that she had some shit to work out, and I let her know that was good for her. Now sheās asking if Iām really going to end our friendship for her doing what was best for her family?
I think yes. If removing me from your life is what is best for your family, that says everything about our relationship. I havenāt responded yet.
I came on here asking for advice on how to move forward. 1. Am I being an asshole or not? 2. Is it in my best interest to keep this person out of my life?
It is weird. I about to get married and thought of her recently and this happens. I feel confused on the situation.
Thanks for any advice.
TLDR my ex best friend wanted to cut me out for a few months to fix her relationship that I caused no problems in, I blocked her, and now sheās back asking to be friends again.

2024.05.14 21:52 glamourgirl1203 I 39F randomly blocked by longtime friend 39M over seemingly nothingāwhat do I do?
Very long bc I canāt keep 10yrs of friendship simple, nor can I constructively explain without being all over the place :)āwe 39f and 39m have 10yrs of friendship. 6yrs has been from a distance although we would meet up every year until 3yrs ago. When we first met, we tried to date but realized weāre better friends. Weād hook up in between relationships bc weāve always been attracted to eachother and weāre bored/lonely. That finally stopped about 4yrs in. He dated a girl for 5yrs and 2yrs into that, him and I had an unhealthy friendship which led to inappropriate acts behind his gf back bc he was unhappy and I was bored(nothing physical). I knew he wasnāt taking the relationship serious so I didnāt care about our actionsāuntil I did. I didnāt like contributing to bringing that side out of either of us and we stopped talking completely, 2yrs ago.
2 months ago he finally had the balls to walk away from the relationship and text me. We caught up life/families, I apologized for my part in everything a couple years ago, he did the same. Mentioned heās not happy being single but it was for the best and heās trying to figure his life out and plans on starting therapy for some issues he deals with. Backtrackingāin the past, weāve had differences of opinion and heās been so quick to go off and insults were his go to. It was clear he can be uhinged sometimes but does pretty well keeping that side under wraps. Ive always thought of him as a narcissist, but as long as im not a target, I dont see a problem with a friendship. (He can be an extremely ugly person to people and his mom history of mental issues so I recognize he has been affected).
Anyway. We were texting on Motherās Day about random stuff and he brought up the govt/eptein thoughts and I told him I donāt waste my time on investigating stories and building an opinionāhe made a comment about me being like his ex and how we just turn a blind eye to bad things that are going on. Itās not untrue but I donāt spend time looking into stuff like that in order to have an opinion when the topic comes up. The conversation went from common interest to him telling me Iām like his ex and turn a blind eye to bad things going on. Literally tells me to take care and blocks me. It made no sense and I couldnāt believe it. I emailed him and told him weāve now eachother too long for such a random act without explanation. I also acknowledge heās going through alot and asked him to unblock me so I can better understand him. 2 days later, he texts me āokā. Clearly in response to my email. Wtf do I do? Heās so quick to shut people out and it hurts my heart when people do that while going through emotional times in life. Itās so unhealthy to be alone and isolateāI know first hand. But wtf do I say? Or do I just let it be and tell him Iām here if he needs anything and leave it at that? Bravo if you made it this far lol

2024.05.14 21:48 yoongicuteuwu I(f22) think I got ghosted by the guy(m21) i actually liked
How do I tell a guy I like him and prove him that I'm not fooling around? I went on a few dates with this sweet guy i fell for over the past two months. Last week over a small fight he expressed I didn't reciprocate, I do but it's subtle(because the month before he wasn't sure about me). I wanted to take things slow and held back from asking him on dates or overly texting or calling him. Then he said " I can't anymore......." and blocked me, unblocked me, i called him after a day we spoke, then the next day he calls. but things didn't get better. he doesn't text me or call me..., the last time he responded was Friday, it's Wednesday i'm left on delivered. I'm worried about him. also he's out of town because of family issues...

2024.05.14 21:40 lostinmemories89 4 months on-
I'm doing great... I think? It's still such a weird feeling how quickly I was discarded and blocked, found it weird how she blocked me and kept her other exes unblocked when she told me they where awful people.
But 4 months later I'm speaking to someone new and she's on my level of silliness which is great, a massive nerd like me also so I'm focus is on her and making this work.
Sorta made this post to kinda just show it does get better and whoever is struggling with no contact will get there one day. Stay strong!

2024.05.14 20:42 lilberg83 Narcs contacting random people from my life?
Tldr: Narc family members keep reaching out to random friends and people from our past to stir up shit. Is this normal behavior because it is very embarrassing.
So I went NC with my NSister and NBIL about two years ago, everything was great for a year until my son was in a car accident (he's okay!) and I felt obligated to let them know about it. So I unblocked only my sister and let her know. This quickly snowballed into her trying to get me to bend to their will again. I tried to work around it, but there was no keeping her in my life and having decent mental health so I went NC again about 2 months ago.
During the last two months we made a planned move to another state. Of course NSister and NBIL thought it was all about them and threw a temper tantrum to anyone in the family that would listen. That was all fine, my family knows how they are and didn't give them anything they were looking for. They also tried reaching out to all my friends, whom all just promptly blocked them.
Today though, my husband's ex-wife reached out to let me know they were trying to contact her about possible abuse allegations. The 4 kids my husband shared with her are all adults so im not sure what they are pointing to? The ex and I are on good terms so she said she would let me know if they tried anything stupid. I am worried this has happened with more people and we just haven't heard about it.
Does this happen to anyone else? Do they just contact random people from your past to try and stir up shit? I'm trying to ignore it, but it's so embarrassing.

So I blocked someone today, then unblocked them by accident so I went to block them again. I got an error saying [username] could not be blocked.
I have not blocked that many people, so Iām not close to the block limit.
When I manually try to block that user, I canāt because Reddit falsely tells me that the account ādoesnāt existā.
How do I fix this problem?

2024.05.14 20:14 Odd_Worker_7647 My beautiful Cosmo has left us and the pain is immense.
 | Cosmo was the most beautiful treasure we ever had and will forever remain that until we meet again. We got him from Safe Haven for Cats in Raleigh July 3, 2021 at only 3 months old and he was definitely a crazy one. He loved life, eating, playing, cuddling, listening to Chrsitmas music, making biscuits, chirping at the squirrels & birds, and chatting back to us with his beautiful meows. He also enjoyed a few minutes outside running throughout the grass and exploring it all like he had never done before. Yesterday was as normal as any day. He ate, slept, watched the birds, and enjoyed his time but suddenly late afternoon he began to yell, crouch, and hide away. submitted by Odd_Worker_7647 to cats [link] [comments] We took him to UrgentVet where it was discovered that his urinary tract was blocked and had we waited an hour longer, he would have passed. They tried all they could but unfortunately could not unblock him and so we were transferred to Oak Heart Animal Hospital where they did the absolute most for him but unfortunately it was far too critical/complicated to where a catheter could not even pass. As beforehand, we were then transferred to NC State Vet Hospital where the best plan was surgery but unfortunately Cosmo had declined rapidly, discovered internal fluids, low temp, slow heartbeat, and ultimately began fading. No matter how much it pained us and how much we wish we wouldnāt have to, we decided it was best for Cosmo to go to heaven so he would no longer suffer from the pain and any future complications. We were able to hold him, tell him how much we loved him, and what he meant to us before he was put to sleep in my motherās arms. Going home with an empty crate and his penguin is not what we imagined but we knew it was what was best for him. As of now we are numbā¦ the house is quiet and empty. I miss holding him, kissing him, hearing his meows, talking to him, feeding him and we were given a ClayPaw Print which we will cherish forever. Soon we will receive his ashes and he will be back home to where he belongs and is loved. I want to thank all the Drās, nurses, and assistants that did everything they could for Cosmo and we will forever be grateful to them. Please love your babies and cherish them forever for in a span of 24 hours everything can change. If you feel as if your pet is having an issue, please that them to the vet before itās too late. š¤šāā¬ā¾ļø |
2024.05.14 19:38 AnotherGalaxys What does she want?
I (30M) am interested in a 23F. This started when my friend mentioned me while talking to her and sent some pictures, to which she replied that I was good looking. So he sent me some of her pictures, with her telling him to send me some concrete pictures and I told him she was gorgeous and that if she was interested he could give her my phone number. So he did and she wrote me in WhatsApp. To clarify, I've only talked to her in WhatsApp and she is the best friend of my friend's girlfriend.
We started to talk and have good conversation. I was told by my friend that this girl broke up two months ago after a two year relationship but my friend asked me the first day already if I'd like to have a romantic relationship with her, while she has stated in numerous times since then that she needs time to heal from that break up. That first day I talked to her about this circumstance and told her that I didn't bother to chat with her and that I didn't want to speed up anything.
But after a week or so I was uncomfortable with the situation because my friend was asking everyday "how it's going with her" or insisting that I talk to her after a one day absence while I wasn't seeing any signals from here that she was attracted to me so I told her that my friend had messes up things and that maybe we shouldn't chat further. She got mad and blocked me but my friend talked with both, convinced me that she was interested in me, so she unblocked me and we continued to talk.
After that, we continued to talk for another week and I started to like her more. But when she asked me to send her my reactions to her pictures from the first day, she just replied "thanks you". She didn't make me any compliment and eventually changed the subject of the conversation. She was still talking to my friend about me and sending him some of our conversation screenshots.
That made me a bit angry so I told her that she could be confident with me and that she didn't have to tell everything to my friend. I also tell her that I was told by my friend that she was attracted to me but I wasn't being given any signals by her of this. She insisted that she was post break-up and that she wasn't going to simply fall in love.
I talked to my friend and his girlfriend and they told me that I needed to go slowly but I replied that I was doing that from the start, but that I needed something to keep me interested in that possible relationship and that I was knowing of all that supposed interested by her from what he was telling me, not directly by her.
They tried to convince me of her interest by telling me that she wouldn't have unblocked me the previous time if she wasn't interested, or chatting me everyday when she works Mon-Sat during almost all day. Or about her will to meeting me in person. I told them that I was going to continue talking to her but that I'd lose romantic interest if time passes without any signals from her.
So I decided to continue chatting with her and so I did. More than a week after that, I chat with her more than before and I think we're develop in trust and good feeling but I don't see any signals of that supposed attraction or interest in having a romantic relationship with me. Talking about favourite colors she took the chance to send me some groul pictures with her and he again replied my moderate compliments with "thanks you". I sent her some group pictures where I was present and she didn't say anything about my appearance and also changed the subject of the conversation.
This girl continuously talks about her best friend's relationship and all her boyfriend does for his friend. She is very close to her friend and they share everything. She mentioned his ex boyfriend negatively a few times as well , as her break up was a very bad one as she was cheated on by her ex. There has been always the conversation about meeting me in person but she doesn't have much time, she uses to spend her only free day in the week with her family.
So now I'm wondering what she really wants because some of my friends are telling me that my friend has been confusing things and that she probably only sees me as a colleague while my friend keeps talking about that possible relationship and her supposed interest in having one with me.
She cried when I was talking about stopping talking with her and told my friend that I didn't know what I was missing by doing that. When talked by my friend about my negative past experiences with post break up girls she told him that she wasn't like the others. She has a personalized background in our conversation in WhatsApp with her profile picture with a song about finding light in a new person after darkness. She always answers very fast and message by message to me and has developed a lot of confidence because she has told me some personal experiences and private things about her best friend etc.
So what does she want?

So what does she want?

2024.05.14 15:56 Practical-Rent-9094 I cant shake this feeling
Its been almost 2 months of NC with my ex girlfriend, who had a relationship quickly with another guy she just met before our breakup, probably a rebound.
Lately, she keeps acting oddly on her social media, because i know her well that she doesnāt post or tweet when we were together, she blocked me and unblocked me too. She keeps tweeting about how the guy deserved her and all and flaunts the guy. I blocked her for my peace of mind and the funny thing is she blocked me back.
I focused on myself, worked my ass off to increase my finances, etc. Still, thereās this feeling that i cant shake off these past few days that made me think that sheās just putting up a show that sheās āhappyā and is about to regret, i can sense some subtle signs because some of her friends kept asking me about her even though they knew what happened to us.

2024.05.14 15:36 ThatOnePersonUwU AITAH for unfriending an alcoholic who wonāt get help?
Before I start this, I just want to answer some question I know Iāll probably have to answer later, or share some information that might be important.
After I started hanging out with other people, he began to get very jealous and bitter towards me and the friend I was talking to. He would act annoyed and upset whenever I would do things with my other friends, even though itās the same things I would do with him. This is when the arguing began. He would make snarky comments toward me indirectly through his bio on either a game we play together or the app we use to text and call. He would always deny that it is about me, even if it was blatantly obvious. (For example, I used to give myself nicknames on the game we play together. He combined the starting letter of the 3 I've used and said something along the lines of āABC gave me everything but real love.ā)
We would argue like this and he would come to school like nothing happened and act friendly towards me, even if it was obvious that I didnāt want to act friendly with him. He would also frequently block me for absolutely no reason, and unblock me after a few hours. If I asked for a reason, he would get mad and change the subject. Of course, I got tired of this and blocked him back one day. To nobodyās surprise, the next day at school he was talking to me and making jokes like absolutely nothing happened.
One day, he even decided it would be a great idea to ignore me while I was sitting right next to him. I would talk to him, wave my hand in front of him to get his attention, and even tap his shoulder. No response. I obviously got fed up with him and let my friends know in a group chat that he isnāt in what was going on incase they were curious why either of us were annoyed. (This wasn't the best idea, I know, however he gets mad when I hang out or talk to them differently than I do with him so the most logical thing to do was to not let him know when I hang out or text with them.)
Before this next part, I have to go back a little bit. Because we would play games together, we would log into each otherās account to farm or grind for something the other wants. This lead to him knowing my password and email. Since he saw me typing on my phone, he saw the group chat that doesnāt have him in it. He took that as a sign that I was talking shit about him to our friends (I truly was not.) and decided to try and hack my account. Luckily, Iāve always used a secondary email on the games we play, so he only got my old account.
Not knowing that this happened, I forgave him for everything that he did prior. A few days later, at the end of school before I left, we were talking when he said the name of my secondary account. Of course, I asked how he knew about it, and he said he logged in. I obviously got very angry at him for this, as I had not given him permission whatsoever. I told him I would have showed him my messages had he just simply asked. This caused him to get angry at me for being angry at him. (He also got angry at me when he got the notifications that he had been removed from my email. I also changed my passwords, have no fear.)
After discussing this with our mutual friends, they confirmed that what he did was not okay. Because I was getting more distant from him, he thought that he should buddy up to someone else in our friend group. (He barely speaks to anyone else if he doesnāt have to.) Of course, he chose the one person that he supposedly hates based on past events. (Not my story to share, I apologize.)
(I donāt remember this part all too well so take it with a grain of salt.) After a while, I decided to give him another chance. We had a conversation where I brought up all of the issues I had with him in a few paragraphs. (Mainly stuff about boundaries and respecting me. Also for pulling my hair whenever he got the chance even though I told him multiple times on multiple occasions to stop.) His response was changing the subject to something different, and about me. I promptly him shut down, however, as he was bringing up stuff that I didnāt do, insisting that he at least acknowledges his problems instead of pretending everything is fine. This ultimately lead to him getting angry and ending the conversation with his signature āOkay. Bye.ā
He then went back to pretending everything was normal with me, though he was talking shit about me in a group chat with our mutual online friends and one of our real life friends (The one he hated that I mentioned previously.) She would tell me everything he said about me, but she didnāt want to get involved so I couldnāt call him out for any of it. At this point, I was just tired of fighting, so I went with it. Many more minor arguments happened after this. I wonāt include details for the sake of this post not being too unbearably long, since what happened was basically the previous fight over and over.
A while later, one of our friends called him out for his shit, as I had been letting them know what was going on for every argument we had. He got really heated over this, and told her to kill herself and that he never valued her as a friend. She gave no shits at all. He was promptly removed, or left on his own, from all of the group chats with her in them except our main server. They had each other blocked, though to nobodyās surprise that didnāt stop him from talking about her or to her in the server.
Though 2 out of 5 people in our friend group wanted nothing to do with him, that didnāt stop him from sitting with us and trying to joke around with us like nothing happened. For a while, everything was fine. I wasnāt talking to him, he wasnāt talking to me. Another fight happened between him and the friend he hated before, but that isnāt my story to tell either, sorry. The only thing I can say about the fight is that he mentioned his alcohol addiction.
One thing lead to another and I decided to give him one last chance. Again. So, I had another conversation with him, letting him know that im serious about unfriending him if he doesnāt talk to his therapist about the alcohol, jealousy, and obsession with me.
I gave him until the end of the week to talk to his therapist, or Iām gone. Everything was fine until the weekend. I went on a trip to Dollywood on the weekend, 4 of my friends being there. He of course did not come on the trip, as he isnāt in the school club that took us. I asked him on Sunday if he had talked to his therapist about anything yet, and he had said no. I rightfully blocked him, just as I said I would. He proceeded to play the victim and started asking our friends what he did wrong, pretending that I hadnāt told him anything about blocking him.
I unblocked him momentarily to send a message on why I did it. I told him blatantly that if he didnāt talk to his therapist I would block him, and he did not. I may have been a little harsh with my words, but keep in mind that I have given him many chances to grow and learn from his mistakes that he has not taken. He needs help, and I canāt help him. I wished him the best, but told him that the best is not something I am capable of giving him.
After I blocked him again, he edited one of his messages to ācall me outā for not doing what he wanted. He claims that I shouldāve just listened to his issues and tell him everything was fine instead of letting him know that what heās doing is wrong. He doesnāt want help, he wants someone to ignore his problems. I told him that im not that person and im tired of pretending I am. He proceeded to make his bio things along the lines of āYou never actually loved meā once more.
After his numerous attempts at getting me to talk to him by making his bio about me, I got fed up. I confronted him, letting him know that I donāt want to be friends with him, I donāt want anything to do with him, and that he needs to stop talking about me in his bio. He of course pretended his issues didnāt exist, instead telling me that he would get help for real this time. I let him know that he just admitted to not trying to get help the first time, and that in lying to me, he broke my trust in him.
Because I knew he wouldnāt try to get help, I blocked him after saying goodbye once more. This is when he started openly shit talking me and the friend that called him out one single time. He changed his bio to things about my body he knew I was insecure about, such as my forehead. While I admit that this wasnāt the best thing to do, I gave him a taste of his own medicine. Heās a bigger individual, and heās told me that heās insecure about his weight.
Again, I apologize for what I said to him, I was angry when I said it. He said I have a sixhead, so I retaliated with seventeen stomach and that he canāt be talking about me when he looks 5 years pregnant. I mean no hate to pregnant people, I was angry at him when I said it. I do not condone rudeness towards plus sized or pregnant individuals. Back to the story.
He made a post on a platform we all use about how he hates Taylor Swift fans, especially the blonde ones. (Ironic when he was talking about how he liked her a while ago. Also, the friend that called him out is blonde and a big Taylor Swift fan.) So, in retaliation, our other, OTHER friend commented the username to his twitter account where he actively reposts nsfw images of gay furries, often depicted as children. I was the only person that knew about it, since he reposted such images and showed them to me in class, to my discomfort. I am usually not one to air out dirty laundry like that, however he had done something similar to me a while back, and I honestly didnāt care how it would make him feel.
I took another page out of his book and edited my message since we had each other blocked, telling him to stop shit talking me in his bio, and that I wanted nothing to do with him. Since that happened, he hasnāt made his bio anything about me, instead changing it to some joke about being 5 years pregnant.
Nobody has told me that what Iāve done was wrong, I just would like to make sure that Iām not in the wrong here. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

- I have gone no contact with him. (He tries to bait me into talking to him.) Only my friend group knows about the alcohol.
- I know for a fact he drinks, I was with him once when he did it.
- Itās not his parentās fault, he sneaks it from open vodka bottles in their refrigerator.
- I know he is drinking while underage, I plan to report him to the school counselor if he doesnāt seek help.
- Weāre both gay, though I do not like him like that in any way shape or form. He swears up and down he doesnāt like me like that either, but take that how you will.
- He has allegedly been drinking since he was 7. I can neither confirm nor deny this.
- He blames all of his problems on the alcohol.

2024.05.14 14:53 Usuallurker1018 AITAH for choosing my in laws over my mom?
Get ready for a long one! Going to start this with a little (maybe a lot of) back story, over the last 5-6 years there has been a lot of conflict in my family not always directly involving me but always affecting me causing the family Iām in contact with to get smaller and smaller. My dad passed in 2020 and the family fall out was DRAMATIC to say the least, honestly that could be another Reddit post in of itself but Iām still healing from the trauma. Anyway, that resulted in me going no contact with nearly my dadās entire family except his two sisters. One I love dearly but am not close with and the other, his youngest sister is like my own sister more than an aunt. We are close in age, have children similar ages, etc. Iām closer to her more than anyone in the world. Now on to my momā¦ my parents were divorced for about 3.5 years prior to my dads passing, and over the last 6 years her parents also passed and she lost contact with all of her other familyā¦ she is virtually alone. I love my mom, it breaks my heart and to make matters worseā¦ I moved to another country 6 months after my dad died.
So letās get it straight that I have TWO people to call family on my side really and truly. Along side my little brother who cannot be counted on and my aunt who lives a coast away from the rest of my family. A very small family for me now compared to the large family I grew up withā¦
Let me assure you also that my mom is stilll very much young at 50yo and healthy. She also has had a busy dating life and currently a steady boyfriendā¦ so sheās not some poor old woman wasting away. So. While Iāve been living away Iāve given birth to both of my childrenā¦ my momās first grandchildren and her also being the only grandparent on my side, her seeing them has been very important to me. I have gone to visit once a year and helped her come visit me once . Every visit is a disaster and I manage to disappoint my mom in some way or another even thoughā¦. Iām the one traveling across an ocean alone with babies! But still I try. When she came to visit meā¦ it was in 2022 just a week after my son was bornā¦ I had gotten really sick after birth, and was in the hospital for a week and then had to go to the hospital daily getting iv meds.. it was a scary and traumatic time and I was so thankful to have my mom thereā¦. Except she cried everyday about how I forced her to travel to another country alone and how we arenāt even doing anythingā¦.. again I was sick and just a week post partumā¦ I bit my tongue and was very accommodating but did ask her to take a train/bus to and from the airport because it was far and didnāt want to be alone with both children for extended time due to being sick and weakā¦ I thought this was perfectly reasonable considering sheās an able bodied adult who can read a book or listen to music during a trip and allow my husband to stay home and support me.
Flash forward to a recent trip homeā¦ I originally proposed this trip just me and my two children and to stay with my mom( again even though my family is small, itās important to me she sees my kids) however my husband now has the opportunity with work to come with meā¦. Great now I donāt have to fly alone with two toddlers! When my in laws find out (by the way they have come to visit us twice and they live pretty far away on the opposite coast my family lives on) they decide they want to come tooā¦ meaning theyāre gonna fly out an visit my coast so we can have a big family trip with both our families. I tell my mom nervously because I know she can be irritated by things like this but she acts excited for the trip still! So my MIL, FIL, BIL, SIL, and two nieces all fly out and get beach rental just a few houses down from where my mom lives. When the time comes it works out that we were there 2 days before and 2 days after my in laws and theyāre there for 6 days in the middle. The way I planned it in my head was that weād spend the first two days with my mom and the last two, as well as sometime with just my in laws in the middle while my mom worked and some combined time all together. And we were also staying with my mom so we were often together in the evenings as well. Sounds great, right? No.
The morning of my in-laws last dayā¦ she was acting weird, slamming doors, not coming up to say good morning like usual and then just getting in her car to leave for work. I stepped outside to wave bye and share barely acknowledged me, and I knew I was in for it. That day we took the kids to the park and I was feeling sad my mom couldnāt be there to join us and also sad that she was upset, so I sent her and I love you text.. to which I got āI made plans for tonight donāt worry about meā. Oh. Okay. I thought sheād join us for dinner to see my in laws off but no, sheād made plans. Fair enough but in comes the onslaught of texts. Of how I was constantly choosing to spend time with my in-laws over her, even though she was invited along every time aside from when she was at workā¦ but she declined. She was so upset about this she told me she didnāt want to see us the rest of the tripā¦ meaning the last full two days I had planned to dedicate to herā¦ canceledā¦ because essentially she didnāt want to go to the aquarium one day with all of us and want time to us all by herself and she didnāt come out and say itā¦ and sorry my kids love the aquarium and it was raining so a great activity. But for her the value of the trip came down to the one specific moment and get thisā¦ she really wants me to know sheās still upset I made her come to Spain two years ago. I continued to try to reason with her but she threw insults that I feel can never taken back, she continuously called and yelled at me till I ended up blocking her for some peace. And moved our stuff over to my aunts for our last days. I did unblock her so she could calmly reach back out after 24 hours. Which she did and asked to see the kids and say goodbye, to which I agreed. We did have a very nice talk which resolved the tensions. But Iām left feeling really hurt by her insultsā¦ and a comment she kept making over and over āIāll always just be your mom to you and thatās not fairā - i understand she is more than a mom but to me she is my mom and I largely still need her to be my mom because sheās the only parent I have left so I just donāt know how to treat her differently. Iām left wondering am I not treating her the way I should be? How should I be treating her in a way that is ānot just my momā? Did I spend to much time with my in-laws? Iām feeling really uneasy about our relationship and wondering am I the asshole here??? Or do I need to just set some boundaries and stand firm?

Let me assure you also that my mom is stilll very much young at 50yo and healthy. She also has had a busy dating life and currently a steady boyfriendā¦ so sheās not some poor old woman wasting away. So. While Iāve been living away Iāve given birth to both of my childrenā¦ my momās first grandchildren and her also being the only grandparent on my side, her seeing them has been very important to me. I have gone to visit once a year and helped her come visit me once . Every visit is a disaster and I manage to disappoint my mom in some way or another even thoughā¦. Iām the one traveling across an ocean alone with babies! But still I try. When she came to visit meā¦ it was in 2022 just a week after my son was bornā¦ I had gotten really sick after birth, and was in the hospital for a week and then had to go to the hospital daily getting iv meds.. it was a scary and traumatic time and I was so thankful to have my mom thereā¦. Except she cried everyday about how I forced her to travel to another country alone and how we arenāt even doing anythingā¦.. again I was sick and just a week post partumā¦ I bit my tongue and was very accommodating but did ask her to take a train/bus to and from the airport because it was far and didnāt want to be alone with both children for extended time due to being sick and weakā¦ I thought this was perfectly reasonable considering sheās an able bodied adult who can read a book or listen to music during a trip and allow my husband to stay home and support me.
Flash forward to a recent trip homeā¦ I originally proposed this trip just me and my two children and to stay with my mom( again even though my family is small, itās important to me she sees my kids) however my husband now has the opportunity with work to come with meā¦. Great now I donāt have to fly alone with two toddlers! When my in laws find out (by the way they have come to visit us twice and they live pretty far away on the opposite coast my family lives on) they decide they want to come tooā¦ meaning theyāre gonna fly out an visit my coast so we can have a big family trip with both our families. I tell my mom nervously because I know she can be irritated by things like this but she acts excited for the trip still! So my MIL, FIL, BIL, SIL, and two nieces all fly out and get beach rental just a few houses down from where my mom lives. When the time comes it works out that we were there 2 days before and 2 days after my in laws and theyāre there for 6 days in the middle. The way I planned it in my head was that weād spend the first two days with my mom and the last two, as well as sometime with just my in laws in the middle while my mom worked and some combined time all together. And we were also staying with my mom so we were often together in the evenings as well. Sounds great, right? No.
The morning of my in-laws last dayā¦ she was acting weird, slamming doors, not coming up to say good morning like usual and then just getting in her car to leave for work. I stepped outside to wave bye and share barely acknowledged me, and I knew I was in for it. That day we took the kids to the park and I was feeling sad my mom couldnāt be there to join us and also sad that she was upset, so I sent her and I love you text.. to which I got āI made plans for tonight donāt worry about meā. Oh. Okay. I thought sheād join us for dinner to see my in laws off but no, sheād made plans. Fair enough but in comes the onslaught of texts. Of how I was constantly choosing to spend time with my in-laws over her, even though she was invited along every time aside from when she was at workā¦ but she declined. She was so upset about this she told me she didnāt want to see us the rest of the tripā¦ meaning the last full two days I had planned to dedicate to herā¦ canceledā¦ because essentially she didnāt want to go to the aquarium one day with all of us and want time to us all by herself and she didnāt come out and say itā¦ and sorry my kids love the aquarium and it was raining so a great activity. But for her the value of the trip came down to the one specific moment and get thisā¦ she really wants me to know sheās still upset I made her come to Spain two years ago. I continued to try to reason with her but she threw insults that I feel can never taken back, she continuously called and yelled at me till I ended up blocking her for some peace. And moved our stuff over to my aunts for our last days. I did unblock her so she could calmly reach back out after 24 hours. Which she did and asked to see the kids and say goodbye, to which I agreed. We did have a very nice talk which resolved the tensions. But Iām left feeling really hurt by her insultsā¦ and a comment she kept making over and over āIāll always just be your mom to you and thatās not fairā - i understand she is more than a mom but to me she is my mom and I largely still need her to be my mom because sheās the only parent I have left so I just donāt know how to treat her differently. Iām left wondering am I not treating her the way I should be? How should I be treating her in a way that is ānot just my momā? Did I spend to much time with my in-laws? Iām feeling really uneasy about our relationship and wondering am I the asshole here??? Or do I need to just set some boundaries and stand firm?
2024.05.14 14:51 Various-Invite7127 My avoidant ex blocked me
Iām looking for some advice. I was seeing a guy for a few months however 2 weeks ago at the weekend, things got intense as we were processing to the boyfriend/girlfriend stage and he called things off. I gave him space but stupidly reached out to him in a moment of panic. We talked for a while, said he missed me and we agreed to keep things light in conversation. Unfortunately the next day I asked him a deep question (couldnāt help myself) and then he said we shouldnāt message anymore and blocked me.
Before all of this, he was saying how much he really liked me, we had such a good connection and that he could feel himself falling in love with me. Itās all so confusing. Everything was there for us, apart from the fact that he tends to cut things off in difficult areas of his life whereas I see a problem and try to find a solution.
My question is, have I pushed too hard? Do avoidants eventually unblock once theyāve had time to cool down?

2024.05.14 13:45 nyental They messaged me - again.
 | Iāve been lurking on this subreddit since I went no contact with this person. It ended with an argument that began from them threatening to to block me. I know the details arenāt important since at the end of the day, this back and forth has absolutely wrecked me. I can admit that looking at peopleās experiences similar to mine made it easier for me to realize how unhealthy and toxic this dynamic was. submitted by nyental to ExNoContact [link] [comments] Iāve previously blocked them before they broke no contact in February, but as Apple user may know, just because you block someone on your iPhone doesnāt mean theyāre blocked on your laptop, which I wish Iād known, because when they messaged me in February, it set me off in a bout of anger. But we had a period where we saw each other a few times anyways. Theyāve used blocking me as a way to almost punish me. I remember we were on a phone call to have a final talk (which i was unaware of, i thought we were just going to have a regular phone call) and they ended with saying āIām done with you, Iām blocking you.ā They unblocked me to ask for the letters Iād written for them that they were supposed to pick up prior to us going no contact but he never did. Thatās what sent me into a bout of anger. This time last time, weād had an arguement about two months ago where I expressed that their presence in my life hurt me more than anything. I woke up to this message from them. Please help me remind myself that having this back and forth is not what i want. Since Iāve gone no wonāt act with them, I may have still endulged in unhealthy coping mechanisms, but Iāve felt more at peace knowing I no longer had to deal with him. I know I shouldnāt have responded, but all I said was āleave me alone!ā, which they proceeded to say āOkay.ā. And that makes me so angry. Because why do they keep doing this? Constantly breaking contact even though they know of my severe mental health issues and the efforts Iāve made to improve? This is someone who I trusted and confided in at one time. Iāve taken solace in the fact that theyāve seen the worst of me but stayed. But now I fear that thereās more to what heās doing, like keeping me under his control. Please be real with me in the comments. I have an amazingly stable mental healthcare team and future plans that do not involve including such harmful toxic people. Iām sure you guys can relate to the sentiment that regardless of all that good, thereās still a sick part of you thatās wants to see how far this can go. Thank you |
2024.05.14 13:07 ogmaxocream Scammed by Catawiki
 | Sold 5 items on Catawiki (around 400ā¬) in total. All the buyers received their items, but Catawiki refuses to make a payment to my payoneer. The reason for that will be down below but long story short, they believe I was fun bidding and now my account now blocked. Had around 15 calls to Catawiki support but they say they will send the request to trust and safety team (I got multiple email from em already). Even by looking at the email, trust and safety team does not want to answer my questions. I asked them what do I have to do to receive my money and unblock my account and thatās the message I received:/ Any ideas how can I get my money? submitted by ogmaxocream to catawiki [link] [comments] |
