Hi family ( I consider this place home so everyone is family in a way to me). It's been a few weeks but I have started to get back to being myself in the best way I can with everything going on
A couple of weeks ago my ex unblocked me and messaged me. I guess to give me closure or just inform me , how she gave birth to our premature baby and will be keeping his ashes and can send me a picture of them. Proceeds to block
She also made it clear I shouldn't contact her as she's already made a police report and if I did she would be charging me with harassment.
"If you don’t want me to send you a picture of his ashes please just block me back, if you do want me to just don’t block me so I know".
I left things they were until 2,3 days ago when I get a message from her account on tiktok were she's blocked me obviously asking me to take down a picture of her and her son which I uploaded months ago I didn't even remember, but most of all she doesn't have my Twitter account so I was surprised how she found the account,two how she saw the picture because I am used to posting memes on my Twitter account. Anyway I take it down because I don't want any trouble.
Yesterday I got a dozen messages from her other accounts, because I blocked the account she messaged me on.
Calling me out to be evil and selfish and being the cause of everything bad that has happened to her and how the baby's death was my fault, but more so how I am out here posting about being a good guy and being in love with some ......
I repost things on tiktok if I think they are funny, sound good, and I don't have to relate to it myself in general........ She blamed me for not getting in touch
"I messaged you after our argument to tell you I went into early labour, I messaged you after he was born sleeping. I messaged you about his cremation. Not once did I hear back from you. Yet you’re sharing things on social media about catching feelings for someone else while I’m battling suicidal thoughts all the time because I had to give birth to my dead child. I have been through a lot of trauma in my life but nothing compares to the trauma that comes from meeting you. So you play the victim, you play the good guy, it will come crashing down one day when you finally get your karma for what you put me through."
She blocked me and made sure I understood if I tried to reach out to her or anyone associated with her I would be facing harassment!!!
Now I don't know... She's made the same comment at the end of the messages. Do I need to file a police report, do I need to do anything, honestly I don't want any trouble. I know we've both been through so much and I understand we all react to situations differently but I don't want to be in any legal troubles. So please advise please.
I also don't want her to suffer anything unnecessary.

I'll try to be as impartial as possible given the circumstances. anxiety has been a part of my life for the past 30 years. I was having textbook panic attacks as young as 4. depression is my "normal". plus everything that comes with it, ocd, paranoia, migraines, chest pain, etc. and a general disdain for social interactions, even online. say I have to spend a week visiting my family, I'll be bedridden for a month afterwards. even something as innocuous can be extremely taxing. it's like "I need to recharge after socializing" cranked to eleven.
because of that, in all honesty, I haven't actively sought out therapy. psychiatric help. talking to people hurts. drugs are another problem. everything I'm prescribed has horrible side effects. skin rashes, gastric ulcers, amnesia. a lot of professionals are "unprepared to tackle a case like mine" (their words, not mine). I don't know if there's a genetic component involved, but I do know my mom is the root cause. nobody is this messed up for no reason, right?
my mom was raised in a strict, religious household. she was constantly pitted against her golden child cousin. and her own mother would make a point that she wasn't up to snuff. she resents grandma for a myriad of reasons but never acts on it. and she assumed I'd extend her the same courtesy, "because it's the right thing to do". as if it was ok to ruin my life because I *had* to forgive her. I believe she's gay because she despises the notion of sex. I know this because even as a kid she'd vent, literally throw tantrums, to anyone or just herself, within an earshot of my toddler self. about how she hated being a stay-at-home wife, how her husband cheated on her, how he wanted to do the most vanilla things you can imagine in bed and she still thought he was a pervert. even my strict, religious grandmother thought she was overreacting (nobody was safe from her oversharing)
imagine being a teenager in that position. she'd shame me or indirectly make me feel dirty. I'd never dare share anything of that nature, but I knew what she thought of my urges, how they made me less than. this was worsened by how close we were. I know now this closeness was fabricated rather than genuine fondness. my mom was the only person in my life. she forbid my father from being alone with me "because he was a pervert". she'd humiliate me in front of my friends until they labeled me a loser and left. and the ones that remained she'd try her hardest to drive away; I remember this one time she belittled me for a week simply because I asked her if I could spend the day over a friends' house. she emotionally blackmailed me in order to control me. the implication being "how can you love me if you won't do exactly as I say? or if you enjoy seeing women naked"
remember the oversharing? random people would come up to me saying I was a horrible son. because she would take any chance to make herself a martyr to complete strangers. funny part is that those people would distance themselves shortly after. because mom is an emotional black hole. and they never apologized or offered help. there's a lot more, but this should paint a nice picture: she bathed me until I was 15. she realized she was losing control when I asked her to stop. I almost had to get physical to get her to. what followed were 4 grueling years of me trying to regain control and distance myself from her. nobody in my family helped me because "it was just a phase". I thought mom would come around eventually, but she never did. so I said f* it, moved in with grandma and told mom to stay the hell away. she blamed grandma for taking me in.
fast forward a decade and here's the breaking point. grandma had a few properties to her name that she wanted to sign over to me, so I wouldn't be hit with hefty taxes once she and mom passed. the only stipulation being that mom was allowed to live in any of them for as long as she wanted. I agreed. when mom heard the news, she went ballistic. she said she didn't trust me and was sure "I was going to steal her home", even though there was a contract, and that she hated my grandmother for "picking her grandson over her own daughter". grandma is 90. I thought the stress was going to kill her. so I called mom in order to settle this ourselves. it was a long conversation where she denied everything at first, before admitting that she knew what she did to me was wrong, but didn't care. and that she wouldn't stop until the properties were signed over to her.
I told her I wouldn't be able to cover the taxes, because I obviously can't hold a job. that I'd lose everything after she died and that I very much needed the money from renting them to survive. I begged her. I swore on my wife's life that I had no intention of kicking her out, ever. she said no. "I don't trust you after everything you did to me". ironic, no? but for grandma's sake, I agreed. she signed everything over to mom with the new stipulation that she could rent them herself. grandma moved to an apartment and is renting one of the properties to help pay my bills. I moved far, far away. currently trying to find a bigger place so grandma can move in with us. and I cut all contact with mom after some harsh words that reduced her to a bawling mess. funny thing is that grandma and the rest of the family want me to reconcile, because "your mother misses you"
like I'm overreacting. am I? my entire life people tried to convince me I was, that mom never did anything *that* bad. you inevitably start questioning your motives. I'm not a good person. I'm a misanthrope and I find nobody relates to me because of it. I leech off my family. I manipulate people. I lie because it's easier than this. and the only thing I feel towards my mom is hate. so much so that I could do things to her that I'd probably regret. only because I'd lose everything I managed to scrounge in life, mind you. and this is all compounded by the fact I don't see myself as a victim. because I grew up in a nice neighborhood, or because my parents rarely hit me. etc. I don't feel deserving of the label. I also can never shake the feeling that this is partly my fault. that I could've spared myself of so much had I found the strength to put a stop to it sooner.

I (F19) was on discord with my friend (F20) and we were in the same room (we are roommates). We were using my account to chat with random people in servers. For some reason, she was acting like she was the center of attention. A lot of guys kept coming in the VC and someone would flirt bc they saw my pfp. One even said my pfp was pretty. And she thought they said your voice(hers or mine) was pretty (she claimed so even tho i dont think that was what they said). And then she took the credit for the pretty voice without even considering they could of been talking about me. For some reason each time they were flirting she would think they were only flirting with her. Like, it was my account, my picture. It makes me think that she thinks im ugly and no one would flirt with me. Later on, we started talking to this one guy who stayed in call for a long time and we got closer with him. I liked him in a friend way as I found conversing was natural and it was fun. The whole time though, she acted like she was the main character of the call, like he was mostly only wanting to talk to her. At one point she started trying to make me seem like I was weird by calling me a predator and saying I touch her butt all the time and like it a little too much (we both slap eachothers behinds because its funny to us). And it just felt like she was tryna make me like less likable. She was also flirting with this guy btw. Im just upset she would treat me this way just for a drop of attention. I wasn't interested in no one romantically and never flirted with anyone. Also I introduced her to dicord vcs because I used to chat with randoms when I was younger and found it fun. Now I cant even hang out with her without her being on discord voice chats. I fear that she is getting addicted to male attention and is willing to throw me under the bus for it now.

Dianne Young, casting director, is a guest host.
​

• During season 1, the initial order was for 12 episodes. No one thought they would actually make it to 12 episodes.

​
David Gail interview:
​

• He is joining from France.
• He thinks his bellhop role is in season 2. When corrected that it’s season 1, he says “excuse-moi” (in his French accent).
• Young cast him because he was nice and easy on the set.
• His son is also on the video. His son’s name is Gautier. His son makes a bunch of funny faces and hand signs throughout the interview.
• His agent would tell him you don’t need to meet the casting director, for auditions in general. Gail wanted to meet them anyways, because he wanted to meet as many people as possible.
• The original season 1 pilot was 2 hours. Rosin passed. It was eventually trimmed to 90 minutes, and about 30 minutes of music videos were cut. Aaron Spelling then wanted to meet him, after the pilot was trimmed. Rosin took the meeting.
• Aaron Spelling did not want to have a season in college. There was a lot of anxiety about the format changing after high school.
• The first two to three episodes of Melrose Place got a higher rating than Beverly Hills, 90210. They convinced the president of FOX, Lucie Salhany,
• Gautier has now taken out a puppet. The entire podcast starts laughing, except for Gail, who doesn’t know what’s happening behind him.
• Rosin then promises FOX that they’re going to have Brenda elope, and that will be the number 1 show that week.
• There was a lot of pressure at this time.
• Young kept waiting for more details about the elopement plot line to emerge.
• No one knew that Doherty was going to be leaving at the end of the season.
• Gail was unaware about any issues Doherty might have been having with the management company.
• Gail had no idea how big this plot was going to be.
• Aaron Spelling gave Gail a kiss and hug after his audition.
• Young does not remember other people that auditioned for this role.
• Mollin says Paul Waigner and Jessica Klein also had a big part in casting Gail.
• Rosin says sometimes during auditions, people talk their way out of a role. They get nervous and talk too much.
• Rosin tells a story of how he once met an actor. Rosin told him he liked this movie he was in. The actor then spent 5 minutes telling Rosin why the movie sucked. This was an example of an actor talking his way out of a future role.
• When Gail came in season 1, he read for a recurring role. They didn’t want him because he was too green. They then offered him the bellhop role.
• During season 4, when Gail was offered the role of Stuart, he asked how they could bring him back as a different character.
• Rosin said at the time, he didn’t think people were watching the show that closely. He didn’t know that there would be dedicated fans like there are today.
• Rosin and Young wanted Gail because everyone had liked Gail from before. Young says she had known him from before, and trusted him.
• Young had reminded Rosin of what Gail had done before, in season 1.
• When Gail went into the Spelling office for this season 4 audition, and saw all of the producers lined up, he was intimidated. Gail had to use psychological tricks like telling himself to breathe. Don’t start when they start, but start when you want to start. Wait until you are in that character.
• Gail cannot walk into an audition and just start being in character. He has to be David Gail first. Meaning he has to say hi to everyone as David Gail first. Then he can get in character.
• Rosin says one of Aaron Spelling’s biggest strengths was casting.
• The first time Rosin heard Aaron Spelling say that his strength was casting, Rosin thought that was BS. But, overtime, Rosin agreed that Aaron Spelling was that good.
• Aaron Spelling knew Julia Roberts was going to be a star, when he saw her in Mystic Pizza.
• David Gail’s son somehow appears on screen, upside down, from the top of the camera. Gail has to shoo his son away again.
• During season 2, Doherty had a boyfriend in Chicago named Chris Lupus. He was wealthy. So Rosin created a character that reminded him of that boyfriend, in Stuart.
• Gail says the plot was fun.
• Gail likes how Stuart was spoiled and possibly dealing drugs. He said it’s more fun to play a character like that.
• Both actors that played Stuart’s parents (Peter Mark Richman, Claudette Nevins) have passed away.
• Mollin likes the dynamic of how Stuart’s dad thought Stuart was a loser, and Brenda was making him a winner.
• Gino Conforti, from Three’s Company, was the mechanic in “Strangers In The Night”.
• Both Richman and Conforti were on Three’s Company.

​

• Jessica Klein created Jesse Vasquez. That was the name of her college boyfriend.
• Young went through a lot of resumes with pictures for this character. She had put Mark Damon Espinoza aside. After a few days, she kept going back to his picture. He didn’t have a lot of credits. She wanted to meet him.
• He was so easy to talk to. He was friendly. He was from Texas.
• He had a good theater background.
• Mollin didn’t like the casting at first. He’s grown to love Espinoza. Mollin says the character worked.
• Mollin: A baby is a show killer.
• Young: All of the cast has an opportunity to give input on casting. Carteris didn’t say things about whether a potential picture on a resume was terrific.
• Rosin and Mollin now think Espinoza was pitch perfect in all of his scenes. Even the ones with Ian Ziering in season 5.
• Rosin: He’s a good friend of this podcast.

​

• As soon as Young saw Kathleen Robertson, Young knew she had to pay close attention.
• She was easy to work with. She wasn’t nervous.
• Robertson had a unique hat. Mollin and Rosin noticed it. They used that same hat in her character’s intro scene.
• Lou Patrick negotiated Robertson’s contract. (A woman).
• Aaron Spelling had accidentally sent out a cast renewal to Shannen Doherty. Lou Patrick saw that and alerted Rosin. It had already been decided by this point that Doherty wasn’t coming back. They were able to stop that from getting to Doherty.
• Young had hired Nicholas Pryor before on another show. He was professional.
• Young: Christine Belford (Samantha Sanders), Pryor’s wife, was a good actress.
• Kelly McDonald, Young’s assistant, met with actors for D’Shawn Hardell. She was the one that recommended Cress Williams to Young. He was very new.
• Rosin and Mollin liked him.
• Unlike Tico Wells from season 1 (whom Rosin beat in basketball), Cress Williams could not play basketball.
• Young had known Dina Meyer (Lucinda) from before. She had always liked Meyer.
• There wasn’t an audition. Tony Shepherd just told Rosin that Dina Meyer would play the part.
• Barry Bonds and Dina Meyer are the only actors that Tony Shepherd told Rosin who to pick. There wasn’t an audition.
• Young loved Scott Paulin (Professor Randall). She had known his credits.
• Young doesn’t remember too much from Tracy Middendorf’s (Laura Kingman) audition.
• Young: Noley Thornton (Erica) was wonderful. She had seen her from “The Martin Short Show”.
• They had to make a lot of arrangements to get her from one set to another, because she was on both shows. But child actors have some limitations.
• One time, they were praying Thornton would be able to make it, because The Martin Short Show was running long.
• Kerrie Keane (Suzanne) didn’t know that there was going to be a scam.
• When Jessica Klein pitched the scam story to Aaron Spelling, Spelling thought the audience would know right away. He didn’t think the scam would work. Rosin had to promise that no one would see it coming, by the end.
• Rosin likes how he can talk to actors that come on the podcast now, because he was never able to do it when the show was being made. Jason Carter (Roy Randolph) is one such example.
• Young says there were a lot of British actors, at the time, because there was a lot of work in Los Angeles. And they were paid more here, then in British Television.
• Young had met Paul Johannson (John Sears) before.
• He was one of Jason Priestley’s friends.
• David Sherrill (Jack Canner) was another one of Priestley’s friends.
• Young would tell Priestley why one of his friends would or would not get the role.
• Young loves Brook Theiss (Leslie Sumner). She had met Theiss on Growing Pains, and Just The Ten Of Us. She was such a joh to be around. Young also introduced Theiss’ husband to her.
• Young likes Theiss so much, that she would cast her for something right now if she could.
• Young does not remember Kari Wuhrer (Ariel Hunter).
• Young remembers Matthew Perreta (Dan Rubin) a little.
• Young does not remember the Minnesota girls.
• Young loves Jed Allen (Rush Sanders). His acting was similar to Ian Ziering’s. She saw it right away that he was Steve Sander’s dad.
• Ryan Thomas Brown (Muntz) was easy to work with.
• Young had known Zachary Throne (Howard) from before.

It’s set in West Cork and I found all the Corkisms fairly funny. Solid enough show in its own right too. Thought it was gas a Netflix show having road bowling in it…what can I say, I’m easily pleased.

I 30M and my wife 30F just recently got married in our small southern town. (About 5k people) The usual people that you would find at a small town wedding were there. Aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, friends of family members, distant relatives, etc. Everything was fine & well with no complications, but everything got really screwed up during the honeymoon.
My wife and I decided to go to Vegas for our honeymoon. (I know it sounds cliche, but some of my family members lived in Vegas and have connections to get us a good hotel room.)
Saturday night, we decided to hit the strip, and we thought it would be really funny if we would go to one of those Elopement churches on the strip. (The ones that will have Elvis marry you.) I'm a Elvis fan and she thought it would be funny because we both saw an episode of Viva La Bam where Phil and Ape got their vows renewed so we thought it would be fun.
We got married a second time, in one weekend, I got a couple of good pictures, and I posted them to social media without a second thought. The next morning, I woke up to literally hundreds of notifications, messages, missed phone calls, and angry texts from damn near literally everybody saying that people thought that we had eloped in Vegas. Which makes no sense considering that we just got married, but I can't do anything about it. Literally, all of my elderly relatives are pissed except for my younger cousins, who thought it was hilarious.
Of my elderly family members are extremely pissed off and they are saying that I made the family look trashy by making it look like as if me and my wife got married in Vegas and not in the perfect Church like they always wanted. So, AITA?

When I was 20 I had met a girl in my psychology class. She was a typical preppy white girl from Calgary; rich family, went to a private school, ended up going to the US for grad school. She found out my family is from Bangladesh and a few days later showed me a picture of a young White couple with a baby in the early 40s in some sort of high society setting. Then she explained that her grandmother was born in Dhaka, and that's where her great grandparents met and fell in love. It was weird because there were absolutely no brown people in the pic, just rich British socialites.
Not the first time I've seen something like that. Another dude's grandfather was born in Kolkata, my former manager's dad spent his childhood in Madras. In high school I was a cashier and an elderly couple who were regulars met somewhere in modern North Bangladesh. And that's another thing, they tend to have roots in the Bengal region. Vivien Leigh of Gone With The Wind was born in Darjeeling. I think that part of the subcontinent was the most subject to presence of colonialism. It's also funny how quickly White people bounced from Asia in the late 1940s.
Idk time to go to sleep

I don’t think I’m in the wrong here but alas.
My (22F), mom (44F) and brother (21M) have an odd thing with feces. For instance: my brother lets our dog shit in his bed and will let the shit calcify there for a full week, my mom sends him pictures every day of our dogs shitting, etc. I think it’s strange but it doesn’t really affect me beyond this so I leave them be.
However, about a year ago, my mom, dad, brother, and I went on a hike where my mother lost the plot entirely. We are about about 2 miles through climbing this canyon with 4 hours to go when one of the dogs poops. My mom picks up the poop in a doggie bag and all is well.
I don’t recall how, but my brother and mom got into a minor argument about something. When I say minor argument, I REALLY mean minor. These people are two brick walls who can never be wrong about anything ever. They just take turns gaslighting each other until the situation escalates.
The situation escalated.
My brother proceeded to walk a bit ahead with the dog (I think my mom was irritated he was walking the dog but not holding the poop bag). He is a good ways ahead of her when she proceeds to chuck the bag straight at the back of his head- and misses. My brother is laughing hysterically, I’m laughing, my dad is just trying to enjoy the brilliant desert scenery of the garbage wasteland that is our state. This alone would have been fine.
But it didn’t stop there. For the next mile and a half, my mom proceeded to chuck the bag and hit the center target of the bald spot on my brother’s head with that bag of dog shit. This happened continuously, from a long-range, multiple times.
I’m getting irritated now because I have to sit next to him on the car ride back, and that bag is inevitably going to burst after being knocked around the rocks every time it slops off his head. I tell them this. They keep fucking around.
My mom proceeds to throw again, she hits his head, it EXPLODES. My dad’s pissed, I’m pissed, my brother’s pissed, my mom is about to piss from how hard she’s laughing. We walk the remaining miles in silence (save for my mom laughing) with that dog shit baking on the epicenter of my brother’s dome in the 100 degree heat. My mom had to sit by my brother as penance but the smell was horrific.
Now the issue: I STILL would not be opposed to hiking with my mom and my brother if I believed this was just a one time joke that got out of hand, but see I don’t think it is. My mom openly brags about her aim using that story as an example, and I’ve been telling her after that “I am never gonna hike with yall if u ever do that again,” and she just laughs and talks about how great her aim was.
So now my dad wants to do a family hike. I politely declined. To be clear, I am not pissed off or bitter, the incident makes me laugh seeing as how my brother thought it was funny and my mom didn’t do it out of malice or anything, I just personally don’t want to deal with any of their fuck ass shenanigans while hiking through the fuck ass desert in the name of family bonding. I am content to hear the stories from after if the hike involves someone getting sniper blasted in the dome with feces.
My mom thinks this is unacceptable because hiking is our “family activity.” I told her if she promises to not mishandle shit on this hike I’d come. She proceeds to tell me that I “can’t take a joke” and she “might do it again…you never know.” ???!
So my mom thinks I’m an asshole who’s averse to spending time with my family. My brother just thinks I’m an asshole for leaving him to hike with our parents alone. My dad thinks this is justified and might get my mom to behave. I think I’m an adult and I perchance am not attending an event in which I might contract a venereal disease from the airborne shit particles of my perv ass dog. But this whole situation is unfathomably moronic so what do y’all think?
(Feel free to act out, I would LOVE to show them this lol)

Hiii I'm Carolina<3! On my mind: It is so hard to make friends nowadays:( Anyone else feel this way?? We can talk about deep stuff or send each other funny pictures haha. The most important things to me are definitely my family and God. What about you?
About me: I love learning/discovery (although, lsat prep consumes my life right now lol), I love hiking/nature, and fooddd. Fun fact about me: I don't have social media (besides this new reddit account haha)

Click here for pictures of Bungee!

Click here for a link to House of Broken Cookies’ main website.
Bungee is a bundle of fun and energy, and he literally bounces around! Bungee taught himself how to walk or rather hop! He is funny, mischievous and keeps you on your toes. He loves to play with his foster friends and is a ball of energy! He loves to play and explore but also gives the best cuddles! This handsome boy can hold his ground and gets into his fair share of shenanigans! He also loves to sleep with you and cuddle right up next to you at night or for an afternoon nap.
Bungee was literally born in a barn. He was one of 7 in his litter. He was the smallest. He has a congenital deformity of the spine, but he has found a way to survive, thrive, and make life as adventurous as possible!
Bungee will need an experienced adopter or someone who is willing to learn, as he needs help going to the bathroom due to his spinal deformities. Bungee is able to wear a diaper quite easily because he has no tail! But he will have to be expressed at least 2 x a day. It is not difficult to learn and we will be right there to teach you, and to help whenever you have concerns.

Hey all hope you're having a great day :)
So like most people i'm missing that special person in my life and it would be really nice to find someone that i can relate to, be 100% honest and open with and generally find my best friend.
Hopefully this would start out as friendship and if we click then we click, open to anyone from anywhere :)
Some stuff about me/hobbies
Video games, this is my biggest hobby by far, i play have an pretty big library of games i play so if you game, there is a high chance we would share stuff we could play, a few games i play often, League(i question it too don't worry) soulsbourne games (unga bunga builds) fallout's, i mainly play pc but have a switch and ps4 too.
TV/Film, if not doing the above, you can find me binge watching shows or films, such as B99, the office HIMYM, GoT (we can discuss how shit the last season was forever), Star Wars, Marvel stuff, SAW.
Animals, i have 2 dogs (yes i'll show you lots of pictures) and in general i love animals so much, so i'll probably spam you with pictures of random animals i think are cute or funny :)
Music, i listen to a wide variety of stuff, from rock and metal to dance/pop some electro swing, rap and other stuff, in general if i like a song i'll listen to it on repeat till i hate it but still listen to it anyway.
I try and be witty and funny most the time, I have a stupid sense of humour but will try and make you laugh most of the time, I can be shy to start with but i open up pretty quickly when i get comfortable with you :)
Don't be shy and hit me up if you think we would get on :)

My(M26) girlfriend (F27) appears to be acting different when we’re around my best friend (M29). To give some back story all three of us work together. My GF and I have only been together for 3 months. Now I’d like to note that my GF has never given me a reason to not trust her. This is merely based on body language that I’ve observed when we’re all together.
Tonight, we had a company bowling event. I can’t shake the feeling that at every point tonight my gf was making it a point to want to get the attention of my best friend and hardly make it a point to interact with me. As I type this I feel like my points may be childish but I can’t shake off how I’m feeling in my gut.
It’s like every time he opens his mouth what he says is golden and she makes it a point to laugh at every joke he makes. Every time he stepped up to bowl she made sure to cheer him on and give him props/words of encouragement even if he wasn’t doing that great. Me on the other hand, every time I’d walk back she either was not bothering to look at my go (again every time my best friend went she made it a point to speculate and cheer him on) or just did not give me any props at all. Except the ONE time I made a strike. In my mind I was thinking “okay is this what it’s going to take for her to cheer me on? She can root for my best friend but I have to roll a perfect strike for her to even acknowledge me?”
I just thought it was weird. Like, why is my GF cheering on this other guy and not paying any mind when it’s my turn.
I also want to point out that when I walked back to my seat she was offering to buy him a beer and him being my best friend told her “no but you can buy (my name) a beer.” I bring this up because I am the provider in the relationship. I basically pay for everything. It’s rare that she offers anything and it just made me upset that I know she wasn’t going to even offer to buy me anything and I knew that she was more than happy offering to buy my best friend a drink. It just so happened that I walked by when she was offering it to him so I basically made her get me a drink because she only asked me after the fact that my best friend noticed I had just walked up.
We were finally leaving the bowling alley and we’re hanging out by our cars afterwards. It was me, my Gf, my best friend and two other friends. She just kept laughing at everything he said! Even if it was not funny at all! So intrigued with everything that came out of his mouth. Don’t get me wrong, my best friend is a FUNNY guy. But I even read the body language of my two other friends and I feel like to the three of us it was obvious she was over doing it . I mean at one point I know I was making some funny jokes and had my two other friends busting up and get this, she was was not paying attention at all and was just more intrigued on how hard my best friend was laughing at my jokes! I just feel like okay, at that point I just feel like you’ll laugh and cherish anything this guys does so there’s got to be some level of attraction.
I know these are super small details and most of you will think I’m overreacting but when I think about mine and my gf’s night as a whole I just think about how she was more focused on engaging with my best friend and joking with him/ the cheering him on and nothing for me / offering to buy him a drink which she will rarely do that for me (only bought me one because he recommended it).
Btw, I also can’t shake the feeling that my best friend is also feeding off of this. He’s great at reading body language as well and I know he tries to be funnier around her. He has a GF and is expecting his first child so I know he would never do anything and neither would my gf (I hope) . But how do I deal with this? When I feel like there is chemistry between them unraveling right in front of me? This is my first serious relationship and i think I’m the jealous type if I’m being completely honest. But I think I’m also very realistic and aware when something is going on right in front of me. Should I bring up this concern I have to my Gf?

So I’m currently going through some ugly stuff with my ex-husband, and it looks like it just keeps getting uglier.
I got a email tonight.
My Ex took a screenshot of our son (8) with MY daughter (2.5) in the background naked.
Email from Ex:
So I have issues with some parenting with our son who has gotten in trouble for touching people yet their daughter is allowed to naked wrestle. Jump on him naked right after this she opens her labia over his head .
It’s one thing to be in a diaper or something but this perpetuates a bad standard (Inserts Picture of my naked daughter)
His attorney:
Huge issues on the ‘x’ case. Please have this remedied ASAP. The child's sibling of a different sex does not need to be around their child naked. This is an enormous concern and could potentially require cabinet involvement. Please follow up with me tomorrow about this.
My attorney forwarded it all to me and just said children should not be naked around each other.
My daughter is potty training🤯 Her potty is set up in the living room. She’s doing great and I’m proud of her. At this point I’m happy when she chooses to strip down and get naked to potty. We celebrate!
(Note the trouble he’s talking about was my son was playing tag with the neighborhood kids and thought it would be funny to tag them by touching their butt. Nothing sexualized he has adhd and is really socially awkward. )
Is there guidelines somewhere pertaining to ages of siblings and bathing, changing clothes, potty training ect. Or if he presses this forward is it just up to CPS or the judges personal opinion?
Further more it’s weird AF he’s talking screenshots of my daughter naked. He’s a total narcissist and our relationship was and still is toxic AF. After I left him I caught wind that someone was accusing him of rape (not sure if he was found guilty but I did see official documents) and he was a serial cheater. I rarely got the opportunity to snoop through his laptop. But I did once (10-11 years ago) and there was tons of porn links; some which included ‘pre-teen’&’underage’ keywords. I did tell his momma at the time but no way in hell she’s vouch for me, so no proof.
I know there’s a stretch from 2.5 and teen. But still.
What would you do?
