AIO? My boyfriends friend has a problem with me asking him not to sleep in a bed with another woman.

Hi everyone, my boyfriend has a big group of friends with lots of girls in it. A lot of times after they go out or have too much to drink, they'll crash at someone's house. One night he came home and shared he slept in a bed with this girl (who the texts are from). We did not have a fight at all - I know he's grown up doing this. I told him I wasn't super comfortable with that and asked if he could not do that, to which he did not argue at all and expressed total respect for my boundary. We have not spoken about it since.

She texted me the morning after they went out, which are these pictures. Am I overreacting by telling her she's overstepping or are her concerns valid?

Am I overreacting to my boyfriend constantly referring to my brother as my half brother

I (22f) have a “half brother” (35m). We share a mom. I say half in quotes because I have never called him that. He is my brother and we were raised together. We’re each other’s only sibling and he’s honestly one of my best friends.

My boyfriend (24m) corrects me every. Single. Time I talk about him. “You mean your half brother?” “He’s your half brother, not your brother.” I ignored it at first but I recently asked him why he feels the need to do that every time and he said because it’s factually incorrect to call him my brother. Like ok? I don’t really care. He’s my brother😭

It’s honestly hurtful. Feels like he’s diminishing our relationship? Idk. And it’s even more hurtful that my boyfriend doesn’t seem to like my brother very much. My brother genuinely really likes my boyfriend and makes an effort to know him.

I’d understand if this was some random guy friend that I was calling my brother but this just feels weird and like my boyfriend is maybe jealous? I really don’t know. I know this doesn’t really matter and isn’t that deep but like I said, just kinda hurtful. If someone wants to call their step siblings, adopted siblings, whatever, their sibling, who cares? I’d never argue with someone over this.

If I’m overreacting I’ll own it because I know my boyfriend is factually correct.

AIO?

AIO, found weird pictures in my bfs iPad
❤️‍🩹 relationship
I went out of town for and my bf stayed home because he had to work. I came back and thought he was acting a bit off, so I checked his pictures on his iPad that sync directly from his phone. In his recently deleted folder I found a picture of my side of the bed (where my medication, book, and melatonin are), a picture of my desk, a picture of a printed out picture of my brother and I along with a handwritten note that’s on the fridge, and a picture of our dresser. We are not planning on moving or selling any of these items either. I’m convinced that he took them so he could remember how everything looked before hiding them because he invited someone over. Am I overreacting? I don’t want to say anything about it to him until I get a little clarity.

AIO date canceled because I didn’t text in the morning?

Some context: we had been chatting for a couple weeks first on hinge then switched to text after She had to cancel the 1st date. Scheduled it for last night Sunday and finalized details the night before.

Had a busy day and took a nap and didn’t text till a couple hours before and got hit with this. Usually I would text something like looking forward to tonight but lost track of time, and honestly I thought talking about the menu the night before was the confirmation? Was I wrong?

AIO: my wife of 15 texted a guy she previously tried sneaking out with this…

Wife was drinking all night alone on the couch. In the morning I saw this text string. She texted around midnight. The following morning he woke up and google her number and the rest of the texts began. He responded around 7 and then 8am. She was asleep by this time. Then when she woke up at 11 she texted back and he called. I was home so she didn’t answer but told him by text she couldn’t talk and then said “Baby!!!” Via text. This whole time she was pretending to be asleep in our bed while I fed our children and cleaned up the kitchen and the couch that she made a mess on the night before when she was drinking alone until she passed out. Before showing her what I saw I asked if she was doing anything bad and she laughed at me and said no and that I was crazy. I showed her the messages and she got mad at me for looking at them. Please discuss, I am pretty upset, mad, and feeling betrayed because maybe 13 years ago she tried to sneak off to meet this guy but she ended up passing out on the couch and missed her Uber. She promised not to speak to him again. (We have kids together so I didn’t divorce her because our kids were pretty young). Now this comes about. She’s an alcoholic and right it’s pretty bad. Her cycle is to not drink for a while after getting a dui, or arrested for drunk in public, or for domestic violence. Then after a while she starts thinking it’s ok to drink kombucha which then leads her to think wine would be fine, then later mixed drinks and hard alcohol until the next catastrophe happens. Each cycle I tell her she shouldn’t drink EVER because she’s an alcoholic and the cycle is the SAME every time. It usually takes about 3-6 months from start to this point where she’s passing out, falling down and getting hurt, peeing herself, drunk texting guys she used to know, etc. She makes it seem like I’m the one with the problem. And I don’t drink at all because I support her sobriety.

My husband told me why he cheated on me
It just came to my attention that my husband has been cheating on me on and off for 2 years. He started cheating on me while I was pregnant because I didn’t feel like having s*x due to pregnancy symptoms. He cheated on me with two different women. The first girl was a stranger he just met when he was out one night. But there’s this one girl in particular that he keeps having s*x with. They’ve been friends with benefits for almost a year now. I asked my husband WHY. WHY WOULD HE DO THIS TO ME. We have a family together, we built a life together, and he threw away 8 years for a girl that hasn’t even graduated college yet?

He said to me, “she’s beautiful. She’s quiet, she’s simple, she’s not annoying. She doesn’t nag me. She doesn’t argue, she’s not combative. She’s not fat and she’s not lazy. She’s fun, she’s spontaneous. I forget about my troubles when I’m around her. She makes my life easier oppose to complicating it like you. She’s just everything that you’re not anymore but you use to be. She’s a younger version of you. She reminded me of you 15 years ago”

I’m honestly still processing. It doesn’t feel like it’s real, I keep thinking I’m going to wake up from this nightmare. I feel so bad about myself. Everything he said to me actually made me feel worse than when I found out about his affair

AIO she s**t with me in the shower
❤️‍🩹 relationship
Hello, long time lurker, first time poster. Throw away cause I don't want this affiliated with my main.

I (F/22) have been dating this girl (F/21) for about 3 months and it's been great. The only red flag I've seen before this was she was a bit messy, leaving things without putting them away, including trash.

Anyway, yesterday we went to a karaoke club, got super wasted and she spilled her drink all over us. No big deal, we went to my apartment. We were in the shower, nothing s*xy or anything we were too drunk for that, but I remember looking down and there was a streak on the bottom of the shower and I asked her what it was, I s**t you not, she said "oopsy I did a p*opsy" and pushed a ball of s**t into the drain with her toe. 🤮 I didn't know what to say I kinda just stood there, this chick really just pooped. I told myself that she was drunk and we could talk about it tomorrow (today).

Fast forward to this morning. We woke up, I could not get what I saw yesterday out of my head and so I tried to keep it light and laugh about the pooping, maybe try to get it into the toilet in the future. And she goes on to explain that she just feels comfortable with me and doesn't want to hide who she is anymore?? I asked if she poops in the shower all the time, she does!! I asked if she could refrain from doing so in my shower and she agreed....

I just feel like I can't move past this and look at her the same and kind of want to break up with her. Am I over reacting?

AIO for ending a friendship because his girlfriend read our conversations?

My friend (M28) and I (F26) have been friends for about 5 years. Just right off the bat: We have always been platonic; nothing has ever happened between us, nothing ever will happen between us.

We met at work and got along well, then ended up really clicking over shared interests. A year into the pandemic (2021), his hours at work were cut and he ended up living on my couch for about 9 months. Those months of living together kind of cemented our friendship.

At the time, I was going through intense therapy and he helped support me through mental health lows, and I helped support him when his mental health crashed after he was laid off. He knows I'm working through a lot of stuff, he knows I'm very private about it. It took me years of therapy to even admit to myself the things I endured growing up, and it was terrifying to verbalize them to someone other than my therapist, so these conversations were very difficult for me and it is very important that I feel I have control over who knows these things about me. And he knows that.

About seven months ago, he met A (F25). He has never dated much and he kind of fell head over heels for her. Since we don't live in the same state, I haven't met her. I don't have social media like ig or fb, so there isn't really a place for me to "get to know her."

My friend and I don't speak regularly, so I felt really blindsided by this. I don't understand where her suspicion is coming from and I don't understand why it escalated so quickly, or why it blew right past having a reasonable conversation to ease any suspicions or anxiety she may have about our friendship.

I may have had a kneejerk reaction, but all I could think about is the fact that someone I don't know read and took screenshots of something that personal.

I've had a couple of days to sit with my feelings, hoping I would feel differently, but I can't help but feel violated. The fact that she read those conversations without my consent is upsetting, but the fact that she has screenshots of them or even thought to screenshot something so personal has made me extremely anxious.

I know I'm a little intense when it comes to privacy, so I'm wondering, did I overreact?

AIO, I (30M) am willing to divorce my wife (31F) over what she did to our basement.

Throwaway.

So me (30M) and my wife, "Jess" (31F) have been together for 7 years and married for 2. Two weeks ago I came home to find huge chunks of our bar just sitting in the drive way. When I went into our basement I found that Jess had completely ripped out our bar and was planning on just trashing all of it. She had also ripped out the door to our utility closet and the paneling around the door.

Why did she do it, apparently she wants to get rid of any and all association of alcohol. I rarely drink, I maybe drink the equivalent of a six-pack in a year. The only bottle of alcohol I keep in the house is a bottle of brandy that my late grandfather gifted me when I turned 21 that she also emptied. I never intended to even open that bottle, it held too much sentimental value to me and she knew that hence the reason she only emptied it not trashed it. As for the door and paneling, she wanted to see what I was doing back there which was just pacing around the workbench in there.

So why is she so dead set on having a dry house, her brother recently told the family that he has a Fatty Liver. His fatty liver is not because of alcohol, like me he almost never drinks, maybe even less. The reason why my BIL has a fatty liver is because he eats junk food all the time, he's 5ft 6 and weighs 260lbs and doesn't exercise at all. But Jess doesn't seem to see the difference.

We never agreed to any of this and Jess doesn't seem to realize that she crossed major boundaries. I enjoyed that bar, call me childish but I felt like a king being behind that bar and it gave me a lot of usable space. It is also where we eat when we have company over as our dining room table only holds 2. It was my little spot that Jess got rid of because of some irrational fear.

Jess has been clingy before but this is insane, I've been sleeping in the guest room ever since. I really want to divorce her over this but right now my emotions are running very high so maybe I'm overreacting but I don't know. Has anyone gone through something like this before, can couples therapy help us?

TLDR: Wife got rid our bar without telling me because of an irrational drinking fear and sees nothing wrong with it.
