AIO my boyfriend refuses to do the dishes without a fight. we’ve been living together for 2 years and hasn’t really changed
❤️‍🩹 relationship
My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years. Living together for 2. I cook almost all the meals with him cooking maybe 1-2 every 2 weeks. I really don’t mind cooking at all and I don’t even mind cleaning up during my cooking/after.

But for the past two years all I have ever said is that if I cook dinner (mind you it’s almost always done when he gets home from work..) he can do the dishes. And for the first year he really wouldn’t get to it and just leave in the sink, we lived in the tiniest house and he would just leave it out or pushed all in one spot. Causing the worst fights on my end I just didn’t think it was that hard to accomplish. And with our house size it truly couldn’t stay like that u couldn’t even fill the brita. Now in our second house and 3rd year of our relationship, he will voluntarily get up grab both our plates, put dinner away in containers, sometime pack out lunches and sometimes wipe the counters. So improvement. BUT he literally only puts the dishes in the sink. He won’t put them in the dishwasher & start it, if it’s CLEAN he won’t empty it. He won’t hand wash them. He just piles them in the sink saying he’ll do them in the morning.

Now. He is not someone to wake up early. he showers in the morning eats breakfast in the car and is still 5-10 minutes late to work everyday. I can promise you he is not waking up early to do the dishes. So what ends up happening is i come home from the gym early am and do them or i do them when i get home from work because i need room to cook dinner for that night. Like i said i dont mind it, it can be nice to clean and just debrief. But there will be times where he will be off from work all day and at home and by the time i get home from the office the dishes are still there and the house looks a mess.

Last night i asked him for help because we both had plans today after work and i just didn’t want them to sit in the sink all day. He literally sounded like a child (he’s 26..) saying how he wanted to get on the game before his friend does how hell do it in the morning how im nagging him to do it … i literally felt like his mom? Mind u i am the oldest so it can be easy to fall into this tone in a sense but this was the biggest ick he has probably ever given me. Especially because i started with “hey can you help me?”. To top it off i did it with him and somehow STILL woke up to dishes being in the sink. AND the dishwasher dirty with room for more dishes.

I’ve noticed that this is how is family is by being around them they have no urgency or care to clean if anything really gets done it’s because their mom does it no one else. And she is over it at this point of doing everything for 30 years. But it feels too traditional for me. He leaves stuff everywhere I’m constantly picking up after him I’m constantly switching over his laundry because he forgets. Throwing stuff in his corner. He does a good clean maybe once every 3 months? But other than that it’s me. I’m the only one who deeps cleans the bathroom etc.

He is a really good boyfriend otherwise and does love and care for me and understands me in a way not a lot of people do and is a person I have truly let my walls down with. But I can see my future in a sense and I don’t want to be his mom like literally I don’t want to turn into how his mom is in their partnership in that household. Am I over reacting if this was a reason I saw our relationship ending? How do I make him see it is that serious? It’s been an on going issue for 2 years that is an issue for me but not necessary him…

Do they change or get better? I worry about kids and our house and it stressing me out. I feel like I could find a man who doesn’t call it “nagging him” when I’m asking for help. What else could I do?

AIO??? 1hr ride revoked after constant disrespect from gf

Context:
She has a CNA exam coming up and i would be her "patient" very commonly, today there was a misunderstanding and i got up immediately to help her once i saw her taking her blood pressure on herself.

She then got upset and ran to her room and locked herself in there for 2-3 hrs and every so often i would knock asking to talk, to no avail.

She then messaged me and i brought it back up since i hate sleeping on bad terms alone. You can see how that went in the photos.

Did i go too far? I just felt like the disrespect was too much and i had to put my foot down at some point.

Reflecting on myself and my actions, i feel bad, i wanted her to feel a little bit of what i felt, but also i know maybe if she was a little more clear-minded this couldve gone differently, but after 3 hrs, it gets to a point i feel like...
Some demo's: Juniors in college, 1 1/2 yr relationship, moved in a month ago.

AIO Am I being unreasonable for refusing to pay for my friend’s car accident and cancelling our trip?
👥 friendship
I need an outside perspective because I’m starting to question myself.

A friend and I went on a trip together. She was the only one driving because I don’t have a driver’s license. Before the trip, she chose to use her mother’s car because it was cheaper. She told me that the car was not fully insured, but at the time I didn’t really understand the implications because I have no driving experience and no knowledge of car insurance.
We discussed the situation regarding the car, and I shared my opinion, but I was clear that the final decision was hers because she was the one driving. I even told her that I would understand if she preferred renting an automatic car for safety and comfort reasons, even if it was more expensive, because I didn’t want her to make a decision only to save money.

During the trip, she had an accident while driving. After that, she asked me to pay half of the repair costs. The issue is that we never agreed beforehand that I would be financially responsible for any accident or repairs. I never signed anything, made any commitment, or agreed to cover costs related to something I did not cause.
Her main argument is emotional: that we travelled together, that I knew about the car situation, and that we should have discussed it more. I understand that communication could have been better on both sides, but I don’t believe this automatically creates a financial responsibility that was never agreed upon.
Since then, she has threatened to call the police, and her mother and sister have told me that I am a bad person for refusing to pay. I feel pressured and blamed rather than having a factual discussion about what actually happened.

Because of this situation, I no longer want to continue the friendship and I decided to cancel our upcoming trip to Brazil. Now she says that I should reimburse 100% of the money she spent because cancelling was my decision. However, when we planned the trip, we deliberately chose refundable options for many things to protect ourselves in case of unexpected situations.
This is an unexpected situation. I am not cancelling because I simply changed my mind, but because of what happened. I am willing to reimburse her share of the refundable bookings that were cancelled, but I don’t understand why I should be responsible for all the non-refundable costs of a trip that we both agreed to and paid for.

Am I being unreasonable? How would you view this situation from an outside perspective?

Am I Overreacting? My boyfriends friend tried to convince me he is cheating, but lied.

For context, my boyfriend (N, 22M) and I (J, 21M) have been together for 4 years. (We are both bisexual.) We are moving into our first shared apartment right now, thats why I first assumed the messages were about a TV. Also, I'm sorry if these messages are hard to read, we both don't have English as our first language, but we speak different languages so we have to communicate in English😅.

My boyfriend has this friend (K, 22F). He met her at a party about 1 year ago. She is an alcoholic and often at parties, and my boyfriend also had some psychological problems in the past, so he tries to help her through this. (Idk if he feels responsible for her, but thats what it seems like sometimes.)

She and I don't get along that well, but we have been civil. Thats why we only ever communicate over Instagram and not over WhatsApp or anything. But then she wrote me the messages you can see there.

This isn't the first time she tried to lie and sabotage the relationship me and my boyfriend have. I trust my boyfriend 100% and I know nothing happened between them, but she always tries to get me and my boyfriend to fight, especially after we decided to finally get an apartment together, since we mostly always stay at one of our places and have "sleepovers".

I have been debating if I should talk to my boyfriend about this. I don't want to ruin their friendship, especially because she seems like she needs him right now. I am frustrated and at first I was composed enough to stay calm. But now, after rereading everything, I am just angry that she tries to sabotage our relationship. Should I talk to my boyfriend about this or am I overreacting? (I am angry right now, so if I forgot any context or information, just ask in the comments.) Sorry this is all over the place.

Does this apology from my ex boyfriend deserve a reply?

3 months of completely silence, 5 months broken up… Randomly received this, I’m the dumpee… Does this seem sincere/genuine? Would you reply to this?

Am I overreacting for wanting to quit my job after taking a 2nd day for bereavement

My grandma passed away yesterday. She was on hospice and we knew it was going to happen so I informed my manager a week prior that when it did I would need a day off for her funeral. My manager said it wasn’t up to her because she would be out for the next couple weeks for a surgery and to ask my coworker who would be subbing as manager. My coworker said it was fine and to just let her know when. Yesterday my mom texted to let me know she had passed and the funeral would be Tuesday. I was already on for a half day so I finished my shift and went home. I love my grandma dearly and it hit really hard especially because I am out of state and couldn’t say goodbye. Last night I texted my coworker and asked if I could take today off as well as the funeral because my family was getting together. Attached are the texts between us and then a message I received from my manager today. I feel like what she wrote was in appropriate and today especially was not the day to say this. Afterwards she responded with “I’m just disappointed.” Before this I’ve only had to take 2 days off when my son became sick and have been with the company for 3 months passing my 90 days. I feel anxious and tbh disgusted with her response. Would I be overreacting if I quit this job because of this? I love this job except for what happened but I just can’t stop thinking how disrespectful this is.

got an sti from ex, explained it to new partner, now im blocked..

the title is making it sound absolutely more worse than actually is, but i recently found out my long term ex that i broke up with in February was cheating on me the entire time we were in a relationship. i found this out like last week and went to get tested instantaneously. it’s on me because i shouldve been getting checked regularly, but back in june i started talking to this guy and we were going so well and getting pretty serious. i told him the circumstances and that he should get tested too. he said thank you for letting me know, then proceeded to block me off everything. i understand and respect his decision but how do i cope with this 🥲.

edit:
i just feel so dirty and embarrassed and i know i couldnt have controlled getting an sti but i feel so shameful and horrible

tldr; my cheating ex gave me and sti and i was asymptomatic . started being romantic and intimate with this new guy before finding out and now im blocked off everything

AIO for refusing to let my brother host his 20 person wedding weekend at my cabin, even though I technically have the space?
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family/in-laws
I (29F) bought a small, rundown two bedroom cabin on a couple of acres three years ago. It was cheap because it needed massive structural work. I have spent almost every weekend and most of my savings renovating it by hand, replacing rot, rebuilding the back deck, and refinishing the original hardwood floors. I know it might seem like spending that much money and time on a property might seem rash, but it's my pride and joy, however it is still old with very delicate infrastructure.

My brother Kal-El (32M) and his fiance Zor-El (30F) are planning a low budget wedding for this autumn. At a family dinner last week, Kal-El casually brought up that they had settled on a venue: my cabin.

He had not asked me beforehand. He framed it as a done deal, explaining that about 20 of their friends and family would bring tents to camp on the property for four days, while the bridal party would stay inside the cabin.

I was taken aback and laid out a few immediate concerns. First, the cabin runs on an older septic tank that cannot handle 20 people using it continuously for four days. On top of that, the property is not insured for events or large gatherings. Lastly, I just finished hand sanding and sealing the floors, and having 20 people trailing dirt, mud, and heavy boots in and out for a weekend would ruin them.

I tried to be constructive and offered a middle ground. I said I would be happy to host a small six person dinner for immediate family on the patio after a courthouse ceremony, but I could not host the full multi day event or overnight campers. I then said that it is unacceptable to think I would just hand over my property without being asked first, not to mention the damage 20 people could cause to my cabin. Not that they would worry about that since I'm just supposed to give without complaining.

Zor-El looked down, and Kal-El got very annoyed. He told me I was being overreacting over a little grass and dirt, saying that ever since I bought the place, I have acted like I am too good to share things with family. He refused the dinner offer and said he was insulted by the restriction (like it was his right to use my property).

They left shortly after. Since then, Kal-El removed himself from our shared group chat, and when I tried texting him to talk it through, he kept his replies strictly to one word. My mother has not yelled or made demands, but she did pull me aside yesterday to quietly ask if I could just hire a portable restroom for the weekend to make peace, saying that Kal-El feels like I am prioritizing a building over his big day.

TLDR: I Didn't want to share my cabin with my brother and his fiancee and now I'm catching flack for it.

I am starting to feel guilty and wonder if I am overreacting in this situation, I'm thinking about just giving in and letting them use it. AIO? (P.S. these names are in fact references to the greatest comic series of all time.)

AIO: Banned from step grandpa’s memorial

Long story, so hang tight.

Last May, I (F 32) lost my grandma (75) to cancer. After that, her boyfriend (66) of 20+ years and I grew closer. (I called him Papa… even though they weren’t married and he’s not legally family, he’s family in my heart). He has always been family, but my grandma used to take care of him and help him. After she passed away, I stepped up and would help him with things like technology, or selling things on Marketplace, and drive to his place at least once a month just to visit (truly more than his own kids can say). I hit some hard financial troubles, which is when he suggested I help him sell things for marketplace and I would get a cut of the earnings. Things got so bad, we had to sell my car to pay off the note, so my grandpa gave me one of his trucks and said, “I don’t need two trucks.” So we drew up a payment contract, and he was kind enough to give me one year before making payments so my husband (33) and I could get our feet back underneath us. But, he signed over the title fully to me, as we had a trusting relationship, and he knew I my word is bond and I would follow the contract. He was big on telling people we never know when our time is up, so he told me if something ever happened to him, he wanted me to be the first person in the house to grab that contract and make sure his kids don’t get a hold of it. He didn’t want me to owe them.

Well fast forward to a year later, he flies to Japan for a week to see his son (age unknown, probably 30’s) and I watch his house and take care of his cats. It just so happened to be the month my first payment of the truck was due, so when he came back on a Friday, I left the money on the table for him. First payment ✅. Then I got devastating news that he passed away that Tuesday. (I won’t go much into detail but I’m the one that was worried when he didn’t call me back all day and I asked one of Papa’s friends to check on him…) It was tragic and sudden, but I did what he asked and went to the house and grabbed that contract and went home. Unfortunately, I can’t prove he told me to do this, and Papa’s friend had the key and let me in, and also told Papa’s son what we took. I got threatening texts that if I didn’t either bring the contract back or give them the truck, they would call the police. (We live in different cities and hour away) It was the same day, so I was overwhelmed and after pushing back and arguing that it was mine and belonged to me, I agreed to just give them the truck back. Looking back now, I realize I could have fought for it, it was already in my name. At first I pushed back, but he was very intimidating and convincing that I did something wrong. He also called my mom. 🙄 Alas, I thought I did something wrong so I gave it to them.

Then Papa’s kids scheduled a memorial for him this coming Saturday at the church my step grandpa attended with my grandma, which happens to be the church I’m a member of. The church is providing the venue for free (and I know that’s why they picked it… they want to keep as much of their inheritance as possible, it’s not because the church was important to him) so they’re technically not renting it. About the middle of July, they told my mom that I was not welcome to go to the memorial. None of us responded, we just kept silent and hoped that time would allow them to calm down.

Well, no such luck… I received this text Monday afternoon and I responded yesterday afternoon after much thought. Despite Papa’s son telling me I’m not welcome, the pastor told me that’s not how it works, the church is open to all and if I really did want to go I could, and no one can stop me. I’ll be honest, initially after I had the month to cool off I decided I wouldn’t go. It wasn’t worth it, even if Papa did tell me to give his kids hell. After receiving the text on Monday, it renewed my anger and the eldest daughter in me said, “Well now I have to go!” Because… we eldest daughters don’t like to be told what to do… 🙃

In my opinion, I was closer to Papa than his kids were. The past 20 years they’re nowhere to be found, and Papa spent 99% of holidays with me and my family. He warned me his kids would be like this, but I didn’t expect it to this extent. I don’t think I’m in the wrong and I think I should be “forgiven” and allowed to go… but I doubt myself because I also understand how bad it looked to immediately grab the contract.

Also, my therapist thinks I should go if I feel I can handle it and if I can behave myself, but I’m genuinely terrified 😅😅

So… am I overreacting by not honoring their wishes, and should I just not go? Am I overreacting by telling them if they touch me or contact me again that I’ll press charges? What would you do?

Edit to add the truck is no longer in my name. I signed the title over to them and filled out the release of liability when I surrendered it to them. Also, there was no written will. That adds a whole layer of a mess.

AIO:Childhood best friend is f***ing his sister

For context, this is my M(25) best friend M(25) since we were two years old. He didn’t meet his F(22)sister until about a year and a half ago. When they did meet, they couldn’t get over how similar they were. he called me gushing about how great she made him feel and even joked about hooking her up with me three days after they met, she moved in with him and his family. They had room and other beds, but they chose to sleep in the same bed every day for a year do everything together every day so on it so forth, fast-forward to these text messages. Him and his sister were going to move in with me and my f(26)roommate, but first we needed to see how our dogs would do together so they came to visit. When they got here they opted to sleep in my bed together even though I had several places they could sleep separately. My roomate and I sleep separately and have a mostly platonic kind of flirty relationship. Which the friend had compared his sister and his relationship with. A lot of small stuff happened that my roommate and I shared glances about, because of the nature of how a true brother and sister would never say or do the things they’re doing. But we brushed it off.

They went back home to their state after 3 days and the friend sends me a Snapchat saying “we’ve decided to look past the whole sibling thing and adress some feelings we both have” to which I replied “what do you mean” and he went on to say how they both have such deep feelings for each other and how the whole half sibling thing doesn’t matter and that real love doesn’t have boundaries and all this stuff to which I waited for 3 days and sent the messages above….. AIO or did I UNDERreact

Also this hurts a lot because I thought I knew him and he was gonna be my best friend for life, but I haven’t talked to him since
