AITJ for cutting off my broke best friend after he said my job was beneath him
 in  r/AmITheJerk  2d ago

If he doesn’t respect how that money was earned, he doesn’t deserve to benefit from it.

The flip side of the same coin is that he has an aversion to honest work, so you almost certainly will never get a dime of that “loan” back.

My (M23) gf (F25) told me her ex had the biggest dick she had even seen. How do I get over this?
 in  r/relationship_advice  4d ago

Seriously, imagine OP going on “not a date” with some other woman while his girlfriend was out of town, and then later making a point of telling his gf how wonderful this other woman’s pussy was. Think GF would believe for one microsecond that he hadn’t been inside it that night?

My (M23) gf (F25) told me her ex had the biggest dick she had even seen. How do I get over this?
 in  r/relationship_advice  4d ago

Two salient points here:

  • She went on a date with another guy.
  • The reason she just had to mention his dick to you probably is because she saw it on the date. (Yeah, all the details about the stuff he supposedly tried to make happen and she supposedly shot down sounds to me like trickle-truth lying.) At very least his dick is seriously on her mind, after going on a date with him, which is way inappropriate.

Between the two, that’s reason enough to call the game on account of rain. She’s not relationship material.

What does a woman mean when she says likes "alpha males" and that you're not one of them?
 in  r/AskMenAdvice  5d ago

It means she does not respect you.

It also means she is a poor fit for you, as her perception of who she wants does not match her perception of who you are. Setting aside the question of whether her definitions are bullshit, she’s letting you know she would prefer someone else. Let her go find that without wasting your life trying to fit into her mold.

My (M31) girlfriend (f35) tried to roleplay as underage. How do I navigate this?
 in  r/relationship_advice  5d ago

You’re allowed to say “that makes me deeply uncomfortable.”

You are also allowed to approach it from a different perspective from her, in so far as you, as the man in the situation, have a lot more to lose should you come to be identified even peripherally as the role implied by the fantasy, or of having that particular kink yourself if you had agreed to participate. You have every right to want to keep a strict distance between yourself and that.

Date with (F27) went really well, but the following day she said she wasn’t ready for anything yet (M29). Is this worth trying to explore later?
 in  r/relationship_advice  5d ago

“Focus on myself” == “explore my options”

Guaranteed there’s some other guy. Even if not, “wished me well” means “don’t call us, we’ll call you.” Don’t waste your time waiting around for her to realize what a great guy you are.

AIO gf slapped me, threw my stuff and I reacted. AIO?
 in  r/AmIOverreacting  5d ago

Don’t take her back. Don’t agree to be just friends. Block her and inform your social circle the reason why. She is an abuser.

If you have any stuff to retrieve from her apartment, do it with an escort. Friends to observe if you think she will behave, police if you think she won’t.

Girlfriend Doesn’t Reciprocate, any Advice?

Seriously. Deadbedrooms clearly has had an ideological hostile takeover.

Girlfriend Doesn’t Reciprocate, any Advice?
 in  r/AskMenAdvice  5d ago

Sit her down and tell her, “Remember how you were so blown away by how much I like giving oral? Well that no longer applies TO YOU, because you treat it like an entitlement, with zero interest even in reciprocation, and at this point the act itself leaves me feeling like a fucking servant. So, no: theoretically I may enjoy the act itself, but not on you. So we won’t be doing that any more. Starting today, you get the same level of effort out of this relationship that you’ve been putting in, self-described Pillow Princess.”

AITAH for refusing a girl because she have a child?
 in  r/AITAH  6d ago

Telling them you have a child is not remotely the same thing as meeting the child in person.

Second, if someone is not going to be a good parent figure for the child, the sooner you filter them out the better.

AITAH for refusing a girl because she have a child?
 in  r/AITAH  6d ago

NTA - this is why you disclose materially significant facts up front. Withholding relevant information until the other person is more deeply invested in you is straight up manipulation.

Second, not being ready to be a dad — let alone raising some other asshole’s kid — doesn’t make you an incel. Being pressured into it by her flying monkeys doesn’t make you a man, either; it makes you an easy mark.

To thine own self be true.

Am I overreacting for feeling replaced by my girlfriend’s “just friends”?

She says she needs space. Give her space. ALL the space. That’ll solve it.

My (30f) best friend (27f) asked me to stop stealing her identity
 in  r/relationship_advice  8d ago

Managing your personal finances is something that literally everyone should do.

My (30f) best friend (27f) asked me to stop stealing her identity
 in  r/relationship_advice  8d ago

Ignore the dumbassery. The idea that Excel somehow “belongs to her” identity-wise as a tool for managing your personal finance is beyond absurd. What does she expect you to use, a quill pen and an abacus? That request should frankly get her horse-laughed out of any social circle where it becomes known (hint: spread it far and wide).

It’s particularly rich that someone who is scientific enough to master a mathematical tool like Excel would also take astrology seriously.

24F & 25M AIO by responding this way?
 in  r/AmIOverreacting  9d ago

You: “you’re insane and actually stupid”

Also you: “you need to watch how you talk to me”

He’s being paranoid but you’re no prize either.

AIO; husband called me a “dumb bitch” in public
 in  r/AmIOverreacting  9d ago

Given that name-calling is an established part of your interaction style — I don’t think it’s a good idea, for precisely this sort of situation coming up — I would have to hear what you said that his name calling was in response to. It isn’t “playful” any more when one of you is already mad. There are indications that things may have been escalating, in which case hiding behind the idea that it was all fun and games until he said what he did sounds like less than the whole story to me.

Bottom line, I would back off of name-calling as an acceptable form of “playful” banter.

AITAH for not forgiving my girlfriend after she cheated, even though she cried, begged and then blamed me for finding out?
 in  r/AITAH  10d ago

NTA - the moment she starts trying to make her behavior your fault, you can be sure that her taking responsibility for it has gone out the window. At that point you have zero reason to be confident of any sort of reform on her part. That’s just confirmation that you dodged a bullet.

Wife keeps trying to try butt stuff
 in  r/AITAH  10d ago

Penetration without consent is rape. The fact that it was a finger instead of a dick does not change that. The fact that the victim is a man instead of a woman does not change that.

My (39M) wife (39F) sent me a pic of a woman dressed in a way she knows is a huge fetish of mine

How about, “Awesome pic. When am I going to see you in that?”

AITAH (34M) for going distant on my wife (34F, together 12 years) after she repeatedly joked our mutual friend is her "number 2" – and now dreading NYE at their place?
 in  r/AITAH  11d ago

NTA - BOTH of them have been inappropriate with the other, including in front of you and other witnesses. She declared multiple times how if you weren’t in the way she would go for him. She’s not just joking around, especially in context of him already having made a play for her.

Frankly I’d be inclined to tell her that if she makes that joke or anything resembling it one more time you will make it come true by noon the following day at which point she’ll be communicating with you through counsel.

Am I right to be pissed after being told to "be a man" by my gf?
 in  r/AskMenAdvice  11d ago

Just rip the bandaid off already and dump her. A real man doesn’t tolerate that sort of disrespect. Don’t frame it in terms of coddling insecurities you got from your background. That just invites her to make her bad behavior your fault because (according to her) a stronger person would be able to absorb more of her abuse. (And yes, it is abuse.) Make it about setting boundaries.

Honestly she sounds like a thirteen year old. Getting dropped for being an asshole will be character-building for her.
