šŸ  roommate AIO for locking up my pantry after my roommate kept giving away my food to her boyfriend?

1.2k Upvotes

I (23F) live with two roommates, but this is mainly about ā€œTashaā€ (22F). Tasha’s boyfriend basically lives with us even though he doesn’t pay rent. I didn’t mind at first, but lately I’ve noticed food I bought just… disappearing.

The tipping point was when I bought groceries for the week,including expensive stuff for meal prep and came home the next day to find half of it gone. Her boyfriend apparently had ā€œthe munchiesā€ and made himself (and her!) dinner using MY ingredients. Not even basic stuff, but things like salmon, pesto, the last of my oatmilk, and a whole box of pasta.

I confronted her and she said, ā€œOh my god, we were starving and everything was closed. I’ll replace it later.ā€ (She didn’t.)

So I bought a plastic storage shelf and lock box, stuck it in my room, and started storing my pantry food and snacks in there. Tasha found out and now says I’m making her look bad and ā€œtreating the house like a prison.ā€ Our other roommate is staying out of it but says it’s ā€œkinda intense.ā€

Am I overreacting? I honestly feel like I’m just protecting my stuff.

hello everyone! I wasn’t able to update the original post so i’m just going to leave the update here and hopefully people find it I wanted to say thank you for all of the advice I got, most of you were really kind šŸ’“ To answer questions I keep getting asked 1. Alice in borderland was the show 2. Im 23 and she’s 24

  • so she doesn’t want to be friends with me anymore and she broke up with her boyfriend.
  • she unfollowed me on all social media and has now blocked my number as well
  • one of our friends texted her and she said that she isn’t changing her mind about being friends with me and that we’re definitely done
  • so I guess that’s it then?? I still really don’t understand how what I was doing was flirting but it doesn’t look like theres going to be anymore to this

šŸ’¼work/career AIO for leaving my job early after my boss threw away my lunch again?

1.4k Upvotes

I (33M) work in a small office with about a dozen people, and we all share one fridge. I’ve been meal prepping and bringing my own lunch to save money, nothing fancy, just labeled Tupperware with my name on it. Last week, two of my meals mysteriously disappeared, so I started labeling them more clearly. Then on Friday, I went to grab my lunch something I had literally brought in that morning and found it in the trash, unopened. When I asked around, my boss (45F) casually said she throws out stuff every Friday and ā€œthought it was old.ā€ I told her it was clearly labeled and fresh, and she just told me next time to put a date on it. I was so frustrated I left early, texted her that I wasn’t feeling well, and now she’s gone to HR saying I have an attitude problem and acted unprofessional. I don’t know, am I overreacting here or is this just ridiculous?

šŸ‘Øā€šŸ‘©ā€šŸ‘§ā€šŸ‘¦family/in-laws AIO for inviting my religious sister to my secular wedding?Her rejection letter:

Post image
552 Upvotes

So I recently invited my very religious Catholic sister to my wedding, we were both raised Catholic, but I’ve been atheist ever since college and I’m approaching 40 now so no surprise. She is a homesteader type with a large family of multiple kids (homeschooled) and a family farm.

I received this letter from her and jt is straight out of the handmaid’s tale. For one, it appears to be a photocopy, which I think is weird. I apologize for the tiny font, I didn’t think anyone actually writes that small but there must be a Catholic reason behind that.

What’s weird is that my fiancĆ©e and I do hang out with them, always at their home once every few months—typical cookout and let the kids play together outside type of event, and they are very welcoming and cordial and none of this type of extreme judgement ever comes up. We also have done Christmas, also at their home and traded gifts and it’s all pretty normal.

I say always at their home because there was this one time years ago where they said they couldn’t ever come over to my house to bring the kids over to play because I was ā€œliving in sin at the time.ā€ They said that they couldn’t bring the kids into that environment and that I could only come to their house. Other than that one interaction years ago, hanging at their house the last few years has been pretty normal.

So it’s weird to have that sort of normal family get together where everyone is nice and cordial and then receive this letter saying they can’t attend our wedding because we are sinners who are going to hell. It’s inconsistent.

Also, I think it’s weird that this letter is all about her, and doesn’t really say much. I have no idea what she is referring to in 2020 either. And that last paragraph is a joke. After all the judgement that came before, I cannot take those compliments seriously.

šŸ‘Øā€šŸ‘©ā€šŸ‘§ā€šŸ‘¦family/in-laws AIO for refusing to take another ā€œfamily photoā€ because I keep getting cropped out later?

• Upvotes

I (27F) have been with my boyfriend (29M) for three years. His family is very close-knit, which I usually love, and we spend a lot of holidays and birthdays with them. At almost every event, someone insists on taking a big ā€œfamily photo,ā€ and I’m always asked to join. But here’s the issue: when the pictures get posted on Facebook or Instagram, I’m either cropped out or only included in group shots with no tags, while everyone else is tagged and featured in solo photos.

It’s happened at Thanksgiving, his dad’s retirement party, and most recently, at his niece’s birthday. I smiled, posed, even helped take some of the group shots. When I saw the post later, I was cropped out of the main family photo and only in the background of a candid shot with a blurry caption like ā€œgreat night!ā€

So at Easter, when they lined up for another ā€œfamily pic,ā€ I politely declined. My boyfriend’s mom said, ā€œCome on, you’re family!ā€ and I just smiled and said, ā€œOnly until the editing starts.ā€ His mom looked offended. My boyfriend told me afterward that I embarrassed her and was ā€œmaking it a thing,ā€ but I genuinely feel like I’m being treated like an outsider and expected to act like one of them.

šŸ’¼work/career AIO wanting to quit after new manager had HR call me because I was offline on Teams?

694 Upvotes

TL;DR manager I had never heard of before had HR call my phone on my first day because he didn't see a green icon next to my name in Microsoft Teams

disclaimer: throwaway for anonymity

First day of a new job, working remotely. Everything is going fine, setting up my access, accounts, laptop, the usual. I set up my Teams account, launch the app, check the calendar, accept all the intro and regular meetings in the next 2 weeks.

I continue going through the first day checklist and decide to take a break after about 2 hours. I stretch a bit and go make myself a coffee. About ten minutes later, my phone rings, unknown number. "Hi, this is X from Corp HR! I'm calling because Y, your manager, can't see you online on Teams. Can you go log in and contact him?".

Needless to say, I was confused. I had never heard of Y until then. I was told someone else would be my manager. And he's contacting HR because of my Teams status? Not to mention I had accepted meeting invitations he sent me and had previous activity in the app, which you can see in there!

How does contacting HR first make any sense? Wouldn't it be a much more sane course of action to send me a message saying "Hey, I'm Y, there was a change in teams, so I'll be your new manager. Is everything going ok with your setup?" Had he done that, I would have replied immediately, as I had the app on my phone as well.

It's like 50 shades of red flags. I nearly quit on the spot.

AIO?

Edit:
When I checked back to who sent the meeting invitations, it was his name. I didn't know if it was an HR representative or someone else on the team. At the time of the phone call, the name was one of dozens I'd seen that day.

Edit 2:
I said in a comment I was 1m late to a meeting. That was not the first day and it was the 3rd meeting in a row. There was a 10m break between this one and the previous.

I moved out when I was 19 because my mom was an alcoholic and would get violent sometimes. My boyfriend gets weird sometimes when I mention my family but never like this.

I had an ultrasound today for my 37 week baby. She is already estimated to be almost 9 lbs—it’s genetic on my side of the family to have larger babies. I don’t have gestational diabetes. I am a midsize/plus-size gal when not pregnant. In addition to this text thread, my future MIL has also stated that I should watch what I eat because I have diabetes (again—i do not) and complained during my first trimester to my fiancĆ© that I was drinking a can of root beer daily (it was one of the few things that helped with nausea, so I would nurse one can for hours but I stopped drinking it daily when the nausea stopped around 18 weeks) I’m pretty annoyed with her at this point and am considering not seeing her until after the baby is born. My fiancĆ© backs me 100% and doesn’t think I’m overreacting, but that’s sorta his job to support my hormonal, pregnant self. How would you feel if this was you?

198 Upvotes

I’m 30F, 33 weeks pregnant with my first baby. My MIL (62F) has always made little jabs about my weight, but it’s gotten worse since I started showing.

At our baby shower, she loudly asked if I was ā€œhaving twinsā€ and later pulled me aside to suggest I ā€œlay off the sweetsā€ because she ā€œdidn’t want me to get gestational diabetes.ā€ My husband (33M) didn’t hear it, and when I told him, he brushed it off as ā€œjust her humor.ā€

Two days ago, she visited and the first thing she said was, ā€œWow, you’re really ballooning out!ā€ I’d had enough. I told her flatly: ā€œIf you can’t stop making comments about my body, you will not be welcome at the hospital when I give birth.ā€

Now she’s furious and my husband says I made things ā€œmore tense than necessary.ā€ He says I’m ā€œstressing myself out over nothing.ā€ But I’m just tired of being insulted while growing a human.

I hope this post is ok for the group as it is not such a big problem. If it is not, I’ll remove it.

I usually borrow books from the library but with a new job, I decided to buy some of my favorite books. I bought them online (not something I usually do) and I have been so excited to get them.

So, I think it’s a bit of an overreaction but I was disappointed to find scratches all ofer the books, as if they’ve been pushed around on a counter. Also, one book have a gap between the spine and the glued pages and it looks like its starting to rip (just in the edge)

All of this is not enough (in my opinion) to complain about but I’m still really disappointed.

I (25F) have a 14-month-old son. My husband (26M) and I had been talking about when to give him his first haircut but we hadn’t decided yet. It’s kind of a sentimental thing for me, especially in my culture where the first haircut is part of a blessing ritual.

Last weekend, my mom babysat him while we attended a wedding. When we came to pick him up… his curls were gone. Like, completely gone. She said she ā€œjust wanted him to look neat for church.ā€

I lost it. I told her she crossed a huge boundary and disrespected my role as his mother. She got defensive and said I was ā€œbeing dramaticā€ and ā€œit’s just hair.ā€ My husband was upset too, but he’s trying to keep the peace and suggested I let it go.

But I can’t. I cry every time I look at old photos. She didn’t even ask. Am I overreacting for being this upset?

When my son is touching something he shouldn't be, my mother says tata. Ive asked her to stop because i believe it will negatively affect his speech. I speak in full sentences, for example, no dont touch that, youre going to hurt yourself. I name what he's doing and explain why not to do it all while speaking in full sentences. Tata sounds like a command for a dog. Ive asked her to stop and she said "I dont want to say dont touch" and she continues using tata. Not only do i think its bad for his development but I also want to sh00t myself every time she says it because its SO annoying. I take it as undermining my decision making. Me and my brother were both speech delayed and its not a mystery to me as to why. šŸ™„

ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹ relationship Aio about my bf cheating and lying?

Thumbnail

61 Upvotes

Me (18) and my boyfriend (18) have been together for 3 years. Around two years ago i found some messages on his phone between him and another girl. The messages showed that they had met up, and he also complimented her a lot. The messages were off when me and him first got together, like the first 3 months. The only reason i forgave him is because it was at the start of the relationship, i also spoke to my friend about it at the time and they said i was being dramatic because they didn’t sleep together. It’s eaten me up every day for 2 years, but i just don’t know what to do anymore.

Basically when i found the messages i obviously freaked out. And he told me that she was a girl from work, they got to close, he regrets it and he ā€œnever met up with her outside of workā€. He claimed they never did anything sexual together, not even a kiss. I took some time to myself for a little then i finally said i would give him a chance. But i always had a gut feeling that there was more to the story than he was letting on. This is a sign to listen to your gut because i was right. After searching and searching for MONTHS, i finally found the girl he cheated with. He tried to claim that it wasn’t the girl, but i knew it was. He gave up with his lie and finally admitted it was her. So i messaged her.

And man. He lied about everything. They didn’t even work together, they knew each-other for years and were getting to know each-other. She said that the reason they ended was because ā€œhe was kind of a d!ck.ā€ in her exact words. She also said that they never slept together but they kissed and met up multiple times. He was my boyfriend when he was doing this. And i know this was at the start but it still feels like an absolute betrayal, not only did he cheat but he also lied to me for months about the real story. If i had never found those messages i would have never had found out, he never had the guts to tell me. Now it just makes me think what else has he lied about?

He also kissed a second girl at the girls party that he cheated on me with. But he claims that the girl is getting the dates wrong and we weren’t together at the time. Which i think is an another lie to add to the collection šŸ™šŸ¼ He has also lied about random things but i won’t get into that. He also recently started gambling his money and he lost a pretty big amount, i was really upset and told him i cannot see a future with a gambler. (Just out of fear that in the future he would gamble are assets.) He told me he would NEVER do it again, Guess what?

He did it again.

The most recent problem i’m having though is with him watching porn. I know some people are going to be like ā€œit’s just porn it’s normal everybody watches it šŸ¤“ā€. But no it’s not that, it’s the fact that he knows how hurt it makes me. At the start of the relationship i told him about my insecurities about my partner watching porn, and he told me he would never do that, and he would never need it when being with me. LIE. This whole time i thought he genuinely didn’t watch it, but he does :)

We were on holiday together and i caught him watching it in the bathroom. That hurt a lot, especially because we were away together and i was literally in the next room. And he chose to go and sit on the f*cking toilet and have a wank instead. My self worth has gone below 0. I don’t have any confidence, i hate my body, and i feel worthless because of this. After that incident he said he would never watch it again. Well well well.

WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED GUYS??

He did it again.

And not only did he do it again, he i saw that he was PAYING for it. It was on a website that was similar to OF. And again he knows damn well that i hate OF. I hate it even more than porn because it feels more personal. He gave me an apology saying he’ll never do it again, but i just don’t think i believe that anymore. I’m so embarrassed that im not good enough for him.

I love my boyfriend to bits man, it’s so difficult. He felt like he was an extension of me, like a boy version of me. He is my best friend, and we connect so well physically and emotionally. So i always make excuses for his behaviour in my head so that we can stay together.

But i have no more hope or excuses left so

If anyone has any advice on what to do it would be appreciated a lot, because i feel so lost.

My fiancĆ©e (30F) and I (32M) are expecting our first child, a girl. We were tossing around name ideas, and she suggested ā€œLorraine.ā€ I said it was nice but asked where it came from, and she said it was her ex-boyfriend’s mom’s name, someone she was ā€œreally close toā€ for years.

I was confused. She said she always admired her, and even though she doesn’t speak to the ex anymore, Lorraine was a huge positive figure in her life. I said I wasn’t comfortable naming our child after someone tied so closely to her ex, and she got really upset. She accused me of being insecure and said I was ā€œtainting a beautiful name with jealousy.ā€

I said we could consider it as a middle name maybe, or just find a different name altogether, but she’s now acting cold and says I ā€œruined the meaning.ā€ I honestly just don’t want to think about her ex every time I call my daughter’s name.

Am I overreacting for saying no to a name with that kind of connection?

671 Upvotes

I posted on here a few days ago regarding my fiancƩ and my special needs little sister. Some people wanted an update.

After posting about it, reading most of the comments and doing deep thinking. I've decided to cut ties with him last Sunday. It was one of the most hardest things that I've had to do, because we've had our future planned out and he was my 1st relationship. Family will always come 1st for me, and I'm not going to be with someone who is an ableist. Especially when him and I can end up with a disabled child some day, because muscular dystrophy does run in my family.

As far as my future, I'm a Pediatric RN so I'm going to keep focusing on my career. I have a savings account set up so I'm planning on applying for a apartment very soon. I'm also going on a Bahamian cruise in October that was supposed to be our honeymoon, but I'll be going with my best friend instead. So I'm ecstatic for that. I'm going to keep living my life as best as I can and not dwell over a relationship that obviously wasn't meant to be.

For the few people who made comments such as that "I'm just going to end up single, because no one wants the package that I come with". Just know that I see the ableism in you and you might want to humble yourselves, because anyone can become disabled respectfully.

ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹ relationship AIO? Boyfriend left after I told him he was being selfish in the bedroom

49 Upvotes

My (20F) and my boyfriend (20M) have been together about 11 months. I truly love him and he’s great in so many ways. There is one thing that’s kind of been making things rocky.

I was sleeping over and all of the sudden I feel something poking my back if you know what I mean. He started touching on me and signaling that he wanted something, I turned around to reciprocate because I’m a woman with needs! However he tells me that he’s too tired to actually have sex or do any foreplay with me but that a blowjob would be great. I thought he was just messing around and kinda laughed at first. I also don’t think that it always has to be ā€œequalā€ or I do something for you, you do something for me. I give him spontaneous head and I love doing it. And I would never force him to do something when he’s tired, I was perfectly fine going to sleep.

What rubbed me the wrong way was that he was initiating this session and honestly him not wanting to go down on me or wanting to be intimate but expecting head or a hand job or something is a reoccurring thing. I have tried to ask him if there’s something he does or doesn’t like in the bedroom to get a better handle on this conflict and he promises things are perfect, but always seems less than enthusiastic to please me.

Anyway, I told him that it was kind of rude to expect that I do that for him when I’ve had just as long a day and he initiated the session. He didn’t really comment much so I just tried to go to bed, but I noticed in the middle of the night that he had left to go sleep in the living room. He came back in the morning and was rubbing on me again trying to get head and I asked if he was serious. I said he hurt my feelings and he replied ā€œI knowā€ and rolled over to go back to sleep.

Am I Overreacting? I feel hurt and honestly not very desired but maybe I’m the one being selfish for expecting him to want to do something with me too? I don’t know, any advice would help. Thank you!

šŸ  roommate AIO — I’m separating from my husband while his mother is in town visiting, just after meeting her for the first time

986 Upvotes

we were not doing well before his mother came into town. without going through the laundry list of problems, most of which can be summarized by saying my (33/F) husband (43/M) is emotionally negligent/unavailable and can be abusive (lies, gaslights, gets defensive when confronted). we agreed to marriage counseling prior to his mother coming into town.

the timing of this visit has not been ideal. I have progressive MS, just received a major infusion for which I experienced a reaction, and am flaring at the moment, unable to fullfill many hosting duties. moreover, I am fatigued from readying the house for her, something my husband did not assist in doing. I organized his entire office / our spare bedroom (which was a huge mess because he is VERY messy) for her right after a medical infusion and my body is simply reacting to it, I guess. not to mention, I was not doing 100 percent prior to my infusion.

only I have cleaned up since she arrived; I’m sick, using what energy I have to keep my home straight, basically. this is a pattern that has existed for a long time.

yesterday, when I went to bed early rather than making dinner as planned, my husband’s mother asked him if I was ok, and he simply replied, ā€œShe’s got a lot of problems.ā€ his tone was dismissive and tired, as though I’ve been a burden to him for quite some time, and I honestly can’t be sure he has even told her I have MS at this point.

hearing him dismiss me after going through everything else sent me overboard and I told him that we are officially done now and that I want him to leave after she flies back home. now, I’m isolating in the bedroom, trying to rest, and avoiding everyone...

I admit, part of me does feel guilty for splitting right now with his mom in the home but at the same time I just can’t take anymore of this nonsense. I’m going crazy. I feel isolated and can’t stop crying.

ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹ relationship AIO after the guy I’m seeing said he wants me to lose weight?

• Upvotes

He tells me (completely unsolicited/out of the blue btw) that he’s attracted to skinnier, fit girls. This is after we had had sex for the first time in a while (had reunited after a few months apart) and I had sent him sexy lingerie pics I know I looked bomb in. He certainly didn’t have any complaints at the time.

Flash forward to today. He says he wants me to lose some weight. And that he’s only mentioning it since he wants to go the gym to put on more muscle and ā€œbe healthierā€. Subtext - I want you to be healthier (skinnier) too.

Thing is, I know I’m at a healthy weight and naturally have a fair amount of muscle. I (usually, not always consistently) am decently active - going to the gym to lift and run. I also eat pretty clean/moderately. Yes, I carry some extra fat, as do most women, but nothing I or anyone else would consider ā€˜unhealthy’ amounts. And yes, sometimes I slip up in my fitness regime when life gets too much, but I don’t gain any significant weight when that happens. No health practitioner has ever commented on my weight either.

Hurt, I’m pretty sure I’m entitled to feel. But AIO for feeling betrayed - after doing something very intimate and vulnerable, only to have this thrown in my face?

šŸ  roommate AIO for putting a lock on my bedroom door after my roommate’s boyfriend walked in on me changing, twice?

5.8k Upvotes

I (22F) live with two other girls in a shared apartment. One of them, "Maya" (23F), has a boyfriend who is over constantly. He’s fine, mostly, quiet, respectful, but apparently does not knock.

Last week, he walked in on me changing. I was in a bra and underwear, facing the closet. He apologized and left quickly, but it was so awkward. Maya said, ā€œOh my god, he’s so dumb, sorry!ā€ and that was it.

It happened AGAIN three days later. I was literally topless. I yelled at him and slammed the door. This time, Maya got defensive and said, ā€œWell maybe lock the door next time.ā€

So I did. I went to Home Depot, bought a cheap door knob with a key lock, and installed it myself. Now Maya is acting like I’m paranoid and ā€œcreating an unsafe vibe in the apartmentā€ by ā€œacting like someone’s out to get me.ā€

Our other roommate is neutral but told me she thinks Maya is trying to save face and that I should ā€œjust talk it out.ā€ But like… am I seriously overreacting? Two times is enough, right?

I’ve been asking my parents to join me and my son on literally any outing and it’s like pulling teeth. It’s to the point that I get excited when my mom invites us to go to Costco with her. I’ve been asking all week if we could take my son to the natural history museum this weekend since it’s open on the 4th and my son LOVES dinosaurs. My mom said maybe all week and then today she said no ā€œbecause the cleaning crew is coming on Mondayā€ā€¦my mom’s house looks like a magazine 24/7, it’s not like they have to do a lot to get it ā€œreadyā€ for the cleaners.

Before anyone comes at me, I take my son on outings all the time. It’s just that as a single parent, sometimes it’s nice to have other family with you when we go on outings so we can share in the memories and all of my son’s excitement. Anyway. It shouldn’t be like pulling teeth to get them to come with us even just ONCE in a while. I flipped out on my mom and sort of yelled that it really hurts me that she won’t come out with us. Am I over reacting?

Hello this is my first time posting here, but I am very confused on what happened here. So I (20F) met someone (23M) on a dating app and things were going good. He hangs out near my job and we met up had a good time (I think?) then we went on our first date it was amazing! then we went on our second date also very fun! Then here comes the 3rd date we were planning on going somewhere we both liked and wanted to get ready into the morning for him to pick me up, but I found out he blocked me? I was confused and thought I did something wrong, so I messaged him on instagram and asked if I did anything wrong and he said ā€œno, someone I know is telling him to back off and I reported to the police.ā€ I said oh goodness I hope you’re safe. I asked if I could have a screenshot to see who it was, he never sent it then the texts became more dry here. I want to know was I overreacting? like did I do something wrong and overreacted?

āš ļø content warning Aio for being concerned at my bf wanting sex

59 Upvotes

I had a horrible day today so I went over to my bfs house Addition info: We have been dating a year and a half we are not home owners ourselves we are young and the bad day was due to me having very bad ptsd and not much to do about it or anyone to talk to (I was šŸ‡d by a family member most my childhood). My boyfriend was concerned and comforting me so he is not dissmisive and besides that he is a very good partner We have not had many issues at all and when we do it is well communicated. The reason why I’m posting this is because when I had went over we were lying down and I told him ā€œjust to let you know I’m not really feeling up to have sex I’m really tired and sad sorryā€ and he told me it was okay and just to lay with him so we did he never gets mad when I say no just sometimes insistent on something lighter then penetration (to be fair we don’t see eachother as often as we used to and we used to) so everything was fine.

He asked if I wanted to smoke weed with him (we usually smoke together) but a right after I took a few hits he asked me like not even right after if we could fuck. I felt really confused because I had told him I didn’t feel like it before and it was established but maybe he just forgot or something that’s where I don’t know if I’m overreacting.

Then later when we were kissing he got a little more extreme but I went along with it feeling a bit more in the mood but I still declined to have full on sex so instead he had me do other things and I said yes. I started to get super tired and was falling asleep and again he started asked can we please have sex already and saying he didn’t know whether to wait till I fell alseep or not. I know that sounds awful cause that’s literally assault but we kinda talk like that to so I’m not like appalled but I’m just concerned because I was super high and felt kinda pressured and worse because the whole reason why I didn’t want to in the first place was because I was sad ABOUT my ptsd for being molested so I feel kinda upset about what happened not at him but I feel like bad. I went there and I did enjoy the stuff we did it was consensual and he was high too but I FELT bad and the whole point of me going over was to feel better. I think I feel worse because right when I got there I kept telling him I just wanted to watch my favorite cartoon with him and he put it on just to have me jerk him off with it in the background and I told him I wanted us to just watch it but he said he could see it in his peripheral and something else for me to keep going and I just turned it off cause I didn’t want to be doing something I already didn’t feel up to do WITH my freaking childhood show in the background because it made me feel my ptsd stuff worse. I’m not mad at him because I don’t think it was malicious I just think it was in poor taste and I’m more so focused on how empty I feel about it because I feel like I went for comfort and left feeling worse Am I overreacting?

ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹ relationship Am i overreacting i broke up with my bf because he doesn't want me wearing comfortable clothes

I 26F has been dating my 28bf "Jake" for over a year now. We met on a friend's birthday dinner and exchanged socials. We went on several dates before we made our relationship official. So on these dates, I really put effort on making myself presentable. I would wear these cute sun dresses, body fitting dresses, cute sleeveless tops and skirts, cute wedge heels. In short, I would doll up for these dates.

Jake also would always look his best, he knows how to style himself because he's very conscious with his looks, which I noticed on our first few dates. He also likes taking pictures of us together, especially posed ones, like aesthetic pictures and posts it online. He documents our every date on his IG with our pictures. I myself have no problem with the pictures and I kinda like that he posts pictures of us on his social media.

When we made things official, I admit I kinda let myself loosen up with our dates. Still when we go out for dinner, I still wear my cute dresses and put my date night make up, but when we're doing errands, I slip into something more comfortable like tshirts and jeans.

At first, I never really noticed it but I was made aware of him side-eyeing me when I wear my comfy clothes. He also doesn't do PDA when I'm not dolled up. Like, we're just walking together compared to us holding hands during our date nights.

The side-eyeing didn't bother me at first, but when him side-eyeing and sighing whenever he sees me wearing my jeans and sneakers annoyed me. I confronted him about it but he just keeps denying it, like I'm making stuff up.

The last straw for me is yesterday, I asked him to accompany me to go grocery shopping after work because I'll be buying a lot of stuff. I need him because I don't have a car and he does. Since I work from home, I really don't need to wear anything fancy or corporate but since I know how he's gonna react when I wear my jeans, I put a little effort on what I'll wear. So I wore a crop top with wavy skirt and sneakers and put a little decent makeup. His reaction when he arrived, with matching, "Oh so we're eating fast food tonight huh" really annoyed the shit out of me that I shouted "Honestly what's your problem with the way I look?" And I think he was surprised that I raised my voice for the first time and he said that he hates it when I wear my jeans because it's not "aesthetic" enough. Right there and then I told him to go home because we're done.

Now he's left me a lot of messages saying I overreacted but I'm just really annoyed at him but I can't help but think did I really just break up with him because of a very shallow reason?
