These are just some wild, am I the asshole stories. And I am joined by two people who have really long hair. That's just a true thing. And who are also acting wild. Olivia and Amanda, thank you for joining me here. We're just two girls with rye. I'm just, I want two girls who I really, really want it. I don't think you're the girl. What are you gonna say? You wanna take a bite out of this. Yeah, we do have big podcast movies here. We're just two girls but she's not a demon, right? Okay, not suspicious. Sorry, aura rings. I see them everywhere now. Yeah. Okay, let's go. I've had one for a few months. Let's go. Love this. I'm sorry. Oh, you're about to a tight five. I'm sorry aura rings. Aura rings. See them everywhere. All over the place. Man, we have a aura ring. What's a aura ring? Come on upstairs. What's a aura ring? What's up with that? You tracked your sleep? Courtney got it for me for Christmas. Oh, Courtney got it for Christmas. Courtney? Is that your wife? Oh, a wife. This is talking about wives, huh? Continue. Podcast mics have changed you. I'm fully just doing stand-up, Al. She's just doing stand-up. Sitting down. Yeah. Well, I've been told that some of these stories are truly wild. I can't lie. All over the place. Yeah. I can't lie. I can't lie. I'm glad we're in this zone. How did we get here? All right, Vanessa Lachey. I'm not wild and I just thought wild. Yeah. Okay, go ahead. Wild and crazy. You're doing too much. Yeah, you're doing too much. Please stop. Okay. Well, do you want me to just start reading these stories? Yeah. Okay. You want to, all right. Sure, like don't worry. I think it would be really cool. We'll offline about this, but when you end your day and because the Oro Ring tracks like your stress, I would love to see this hour. Honestly, so the last time Yeah. Since I got the Oro Ring when I do red stories days, it does often say I'm stressed. But I think that means I'm engaged. I think like it like. Let's do a Shane guesses on guessing your own Oro Ring. Guess if I am stressed. I'm guessing that I'm stressed right now. I really got it to track my sleep to see if I'm sleeping well. And did you sleep well last night? I slept okay. It was like, it was like at like a 78 out of 100. That's good. It's good. It could be better. Yeah. Could be better. That's scary. That's really. What the hell is going on? You said wild and something on lock. You just like you're a sleeper agent. You have good sleep. I think you have, because you're a mommy. And I don't know why. I actually last night. Oh, you have a toddler. You must sleep really well. I did have good sleep. I just did a lot of meditating. You have quality sleep, you know? I sleep so hard because you're dead at the end of the day. Exactly. You have quality sleep. I have long sleep, but probably all 13%. Not efficient sleep. Not effective sleep. Not effective. Interesting. All right. Well, these stories, I don't think they have anything to do with sleep. I can't wait. Let's get into them. Sorry. But this first story does have to do something with wine. Which I know Amanda loves. This comes from, am I the asshole? It's posted in February of this year. Am I the asshole for asking my friend to pay me back for the wine he drank while house sitting? Oh. I have so much to say. I already have thought. Me too. She's like, is it a full body? A chilled? Yeah. Or orange. It depends on how. If it's like a $500 bottle of wine. But if you just have wine hanging out at your place, I would. I wanna know if he opened the whole fresh bottle. Let me see some details. Okay. So I, a 26 year old woman, had my friend, a 27 year old man watch my place and my cat for the weekend. I told him he could help himself to whatever in the kitchen, which I thought was just like common sense for snacks and stuff. I got back and realized he opened this $120 bottle of vintage Barolo I was saving for my promotion. He literally drank the whole thing alone while watching Netflix. When I asked him about it, he got all weird and said, I gave him permission because the wine was in the kitchen. Like, okay, but who drinks a $100 bottle of wine without asking first? I sent him a Venmo for $80, gave him a discount, LOL. And now he's calling me tacky and told our group chat, I'm a bad host. I feel like there's literally an unwritten rule of guest logic where you don't touch the most expensive thing in the house. If I tell you to help yourself to my garage, it doesn't mean you can just drive off in my car. I don't know, am I the asshole here? He's making me feel like I'm being extra, but I feel like he totally took advantage of me. I don't know, it's also just $120. Oh my God, I'm so insane. Okay, I have a lot of thoughts. Okay, first of all, okay, here's a, okay. First of all. You go ahead. First of all, is there a price tag on your wine saying $120? Don't touch this thing? Yeah, I've gone to wine shops and when you look around, there's really no signifier of what makes a wine expensive or not. You have to know a lot about wine to clock. I also cannot stand when people go make yourself at home, help yourself to anything and they don't mean it. If it was in the kitchen, honey. I would say that that's a compliment. That someone's like, well, they said I could make myself at home. I'm going to drink this beautiful bottle of wine and watch Netflix. Absolutely. Like, I'm sorry that it was $120, that sucks. But don't you dare try to Venmo. Yeah. Like ask for a Venmo. You simply can't. And then there's this whole thing of like, well, it's an unwritten rule. It's like, yeah, if, but also what I would have done if I had something really special in my kitchen, I just said, help yourself to whatever, except the one thing. That's expensive and I'm saving it for something. That's all. This is outrageous. Also, did she pay him for the weekend? I know. I'm like, if he's watching for free, then dude. If anyone's watching, so when I had a dog, if someone was watching my dog and they were like, I don't want to be paid, I would automatically get them. Dinner, a bottle of wine, already have that set up. But if I said you can have anything, you best believe I'm being like, if there is a fancy wine, I'm going to tell them. But like, if I say you can have anything, then you can have anything. I don't think it's that big of a deal. Like, they're doing, for me, I don't like to stay in other people's homes. So that's already a chore. And like, it's not like, I don't want to, anyways, what I'm saying is it's, I don't think it's a big deal. And I would be happy for my friend to drink that wine and watch Netflix. Absolutely. Courtney and I had Tommy watch our cats one time when we were gone for like over a week. And we literally bought wine. We were like, cause we wanted him to be there and hang out with our cat. So when we came back, it was like, oh, he had some of the wine. It was like, good. A lot? He's saying, no, not a lot. We bought 50 bottles of wine. Did he drink them all? No, we bought some really nice orange wine for him. So I was like, we know that he loves orange wine. And also, but it was like, I hope if someone's staying and watching our cats, like, I'm like, give them a reason to like hang out and stay there. Cause the more time they're spending with your pet, the better. You probably only had one bottle of wine. And it was probably a nice one. But like that, that makes it look like it's for the... Okay. Can I say something? I agree with this. I'm just thinking about my own home right now. There is a bottle of wine at my house right now. It is wrapped in tissue paper and it has like a really pretty thing on it. I got it for Christmas. I haven't opened it. If it was wrapped in nice and stuff, I maybe wouldn't talk to it. Okay. Yeah. I feel like, so you got us a really nice bottle of wine. We haven't opened it yet because we're waiting for a special occasion, which I'm kind of like, fuck it. Let's just do it. But it is wrapped in something. Yeah. And we have had someone, you know, watch our son and we were like literally help yourself. Yeah. But you know, we didn't come home to them having opened that. Right. So I don't know. Maybe it's also the type of people who know you too. Yeah. But I personally think you should not ask for money from that is tacky. That was a slip. Like it's just like kind of like, oh, I slipped up and I didn't tell them not to do that. I think it was like, oh, mind that. And that's kind of like, you're bad. Yeah. It's like, I'm sorry. You have to take the L. Yeah. You kind of got to take the L there. And it's like, all right, at least it wasn't $500 or something. Like 120 bucks is a lot of money. It sucks. But also, yeah, I don't know what you were paying him or if you were paying him. I think she should ask him what the flavor notes were and if he really enjoyed it. Yeah. And if she would probably enjoy it as well. Yeah. Absolutely. Just come up. I would just be like, hey, I just want a one pager on this bottle of wine. At least tell me what it's like. And that's my payment. Yeah. That's my payment is describing the Barolo. Yeah. Describe it. Barolo. Isn't that an Italian wine? Am I crazy? It sounds Italian. I feel like I've had that before. I also love to put ice cubes in my wine. That's fine. What the fuck? Do whatever the fuck you want. Hey. My grandpa does that. Well, what kind of wine? Red or white? White. That's fine. Sometimes red. That's fine. Well, if it's not, you know what I love? Okay. You know what I love? I like putting ice in a full body red. Don't come at me. Listen, do whatever you need to do. Can do whatever you want. Okay. I will. No, do whatever you need to do. I just recently learned, cause at Epcot I had ice wine and I thought that meant like, oh, there's ice in the wine or whatever. It's like, no, it's cause they press the grapes when they're frozen. And I didn't know that. And what was it? Was it less like a sweet wine? Yeah. Yeah. I don't like sweet wine. I don't even like orange wine. I still don't know wine that well. I really do. I do not like sweet wine at all, but I will fuck with a port. A port wine. Yummy. Portuguese port wine. I don't think I've ever. What was the comment? A dessert wine. Someone said the, well, first of all, the verdict was asshole. That the, they were the asshole. Yeah. That they asking for money was whatever. Comments, you're the asshole. Expensive and cheap bottles of wine look the same to people who don't know wine. Be more precise in your instructions for the person doing you a favor. He assumed that you only have cheap bottles of wine because you cavalierly said to help himself. This is tacky. Someone said, you told him to help himself to whatever he did. Most people can't distinguish between a $15 and $120 bottle of wine. and most people aren't going to read a receipt you left lying around either. You're the asshole, this one's on you. Lastly, someone said, you're the asshole, you should just chalk this up to miscommunication. You said help yourself to anything in the kitchen. If you had told him prior, except for that bottle of wine, I'm saving for my promotion, you could ask for full compensation. This is on you, swallow your ego and let this go, my dude. It'll be better for the- My dude. It'll be better for the friendship. My dude, I thought it was a girl. It was, but she's- But she's my dude. But he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes. This redditor commenting is only says my dude. My dude, swallow your ego, my dude. My dude. My dude? You got to swallow your ego. Got to swallow your ego. Swallow your ego, fun. Do you think you could, if like look at a bottle of wine and decipher its price range? Here's, I was just going to comment on that. The bottle of wine that looks the most boring and has like an old school label is the most expensive. Interesting. The one that's like fun, pops of color or like a drawn woman, like by the beach. That's got Snoop Dogg on the cover. It's going to be the deepest. But I will say the most expensive wine looks very boring. Cause it's like Chateau. Cause it's just the name, the name is all this. It's a generational wine that has perfected what they do and they keep the label the same. There's this one bottle and it's so good and it's chilled. It's a chilled red and I just- Chilled reds are cool. I just like that one. You don't have to send me a picture of it. I will, I think you would love it and it's a good price. I'm sure I would. I've only had, look, I've not drank much wine. I only started drinking wine at all last year, but there's one bottle that I think is my favorite wine and it's a Nebbiolo. Nebbiolo's, but of course it is. Cause I love it and really- Wait, what do you mean of course it is? Intense shit. Cause he loves really, really strong full body. Like almost like a dry leather type. That's a Nebbiolo. Interesting. I've found out that anytime any food or anything is described by non-food adjectives like leathery, mineral-y, wood-sy. Yeah, a little cigar smoke. So he, Nebbiolo's like a very full body to tell you why and it's phenomenal. Moving on from wine. When life gets hectic, energy ups and downs are all you need.

What? I a 25 year old woman and my husband, a 30 year old man and I got married last Friday. We planned our dream wedding down to our dream catering company. The wedding was beautiful. After the pictures we headed to our cocktail hour and that's when I saw her. My guests were all told to wear dark colors so my husband and I stood out. I also asked my guests to wear minimal makeup. I had assumed that applied to the staff too. The server, 19 ish female, had on clearly too much eyeliner. She also had diamond studs in her ears, a flashy ring and one of those ugly nose studs. Oh, oh my God. The staff's uniform was a black long sleeve shirt but on her it was too low cut and her pants were far too tight. It was super distracting. She was walking around serving drinks and talking to my guests. I asked another member of the staff to speak to their boss. When their boss came out, I pointed out the server and asked that she be dealt with cause she was super distracting. Their boss apologized and called the server back into the kitchen. Not even an hour later, the server was back out serving food for dinner. I called the boss over again and asked if the server could work in the back or go home. No. Her boss said they were short staffed tonight so she would see what can be done. After a couple of hours of not seeing her, I saw the server again behind the bar. I called the boss out one last time and told her if the server didn't leave, I would be calling the cops. Oh, oh, oh. The boss finally relented and told the girl to go home. My husband and mother-in-law said I was acting crazy. Yes. And I probably got a poor college kid fired for over nothing. My mother in maid of honor said it's my wedding so I can do as I please. It's my wedding and I don't want someone over shining me and the server should know she's at work and not dress up so much. I do feel kind of bad because she was pretty young. Am I the ass? Yes. Yes. Absolutely an asshole and more. God. I wanna know how you are in your normal life because this is bad behavior. Probably bad all the time. This is gonna sound really mean, but I don't think you should get married. Continue. Yeah. I don't think you should get, and I'm shocked you had, I'm even shocked you had guests at your wedding. You're a bad person. And I think you should not be with someone for a long time. And I think it would be a bad idea for you to have children. Go off. Sorry. Go off. I mean. Well, this is okay. Like, you know that balcony scene, you know that balcony scene in succession when Tom goes, and I think you're a bad person to have children with. That is me telling this person. I just don't think this person is well. And it's going to permeate through every other thing in their life. And you know what? It does make sense that the mother and the bridesmaid was like, yeah, go off, do whatever you want, because they're also fucking nuts. I will say. All right. That was so mean. I'm so sorry. You're probably a bad person. That was pretty epic. I will say, I am so done with people being like, it's my wedding, it's my day goes. Just because you're getting married, it does not give you the right to what appears to be to be your true self. Okay. Yeah. It does not give you the right to be so unbelievably rude to other human beings. This is someone who's working your wedding. Like, also it's clear that you have a control issue over some, you are literally punching down on another woman who's dressing what makes her feel good. Yeah. The whole wedding, your entire wedding, you're focused on one server. How insecure are you? A 19 year old. With diamond studs and a flashy ring. Yeah. I'm like, lady, you're 25, you're worried about a 19 year old who's doing their job. Do you think your husband is gonna be like, I do, and also that waitress? Yeah. I'm like, what do you think? Like, I'm just like. That is probably what she thinks. It is very telling about where her head is at. Insecurity. And if I'm the fiance or the husband, I'd be like, dude. I'd be like, red flag. This is how this person views everything around them. She should not come here. I do agree with you. Cause there's a lot of the like, oh, it's our wedding, it's our day. But when someone's so focused on controlling how other people look and how their body is and being like all minimal makeup, do not outshine me, I'm like, I don't know, it's just, it gets to weird territory where I'm like, You're wedding? People can do so much. Your day doesn't mean you dictate how other human beings are around you. Yes. Especially in the restaurant industry. Like this woman gets to wear whatever the F she wants. I also have a feeling if we saw this girl in person, we'd be like. She'd be like, oh, she looks fine. She looks like she's works for a catering. Also. She looks like she. If she wore a low cut shirt, girl, deal with it. Yeah. Like I guarantee she's probably like this with her husband anywhere they go. Yes. Her husband probably hates her. Cause if you think about it. This hot take from Olivia is just killing me. And she shouldn't have children. Like, oh, what? Satan is waiting for her. No, yes. But the fact that the boss, that she called out the boss multiple times and the boss just like sends her back out. It shows like, I'm like bosses are like tough on people, especially like I've heard catering companies and stuff. Like that's not, you're not gonna have a boss who's like, oh yeah, do whatever. Like they're probably taking that shit seriously. And he's, he's recognized like what this lady's complaining about. We can't. He's like, we're short stuff. She's working. Imagine that 18 year old girl. She goes home and now she has a bad view on her body, on how she looks like this is the biggest, this is such a bigger issue with young teenage girls. Is, is there is the possibility that a man might find you attractive when you're in something that makes you feel good. And what bothers me so much is women also just yes, and these nasty toxic behaviors of going like, yes, see, she's evil by wearing something tight. And it's like, hey, if your man is gonna flirt with someone younger, he's gonna do it, whether she's wearing that or not. That's your fucking problem. I'm so done putting this on younger women of our generation of just like, dude, why are we making them the villains? Yeah. And this is crazy. She's literally just doing her job. She's doing her job. She's a, and by the way, this, this woman who's getting married, she's 25. Oh boy. I love how it's becoming like things that aren't as big of a deal. It's like, and you're 25. And you're 25? How dare you? That's when you're, that's when you're like, what frontal lobe is fully developed. I think didn't come out. It's just like the, the, the, the, that's just when the study ended. I hope this woman. When you just keep getting more mature and with age. Hey, I hope this woman watches this. It's me. And you better see me. I wear tight clothes and low shirts. Big old diamond earrings. Come find me. This is your biggest off now. I will say to tell your guests, to wear dark colors and minimal makeup. This girl does not get enough attention in her real life that she has to, what is with bride? Or she gets tons of attention, but it's none of it's enough. Oh yeah, none of it's enough. It's just, it's just such a toxic view. Weddings are almost kind of like, it's one of those situations where you said it earlier of like it's, it gives people permission in their heads to be who they really are. To be who they really are. It's kind of like when someone's drunk, it's like, that's who they like. This isn't a bride's ill situation. This is who this person really is. It's just like, yeah, all right. That's how you view people. Like that's your priorities. So sad to me. It is very sad. It's very lonely. I'm like, this is a day of, of uniting with your partner. And yet people make weddings about anything, but their partner. I also really want a wedding. There's something really sad. Cause we've read stories obviously where guests wear white and stuff like that. And it's like, Hey, there are, there are certain, like you hope your guests are respectful of you, but there is something very telling of like, it's my day and the main feature of my day is that everyone else needs to be smaller and minimized. I'm like, that's what's important to you. And that's so sad. These are your friends. This is your community. Yeah. That's going to raise you up. Don't you want on your day for everyone to feel good? I will say you were like her family is calling her crazy, but it's, it's her fiance and her fiance's mom is calling her crazy. Oh right. And so her mom and her maid of honor. Her mom and her maid of honor. I like go off. She has been, Yes. And did her entire life. I gotta say though, if, cause what did, did it say that her husband, what, who was it who was calling her crazy? My husband and mother-in-law said I was acting crazy. Yes. If, if, if you're having a wedding and you are calling your wife crazy on the wedding day, Why are you getting married? Dude, you're cooked. Dude. Your wedding is fully cooked. Get, get, Your marriage is done. All that shit off. It's chopped. God. Chopped. It's chopped. I, I honestly like, You're going to have to, this woman needs a lot of help to, to, to, And we're going to bring Olivia in. No, no, I will- To help her. No, you're, you need help. Like I don't think you can have a happy marriage or life. If this is how you are to the world and to yourself, you have, you disrespect people. And your family hates you. No. No. No, yeah. Like your family that you're marrying into thinks you're crazy. So if you're just like, you know, you've been disrespected and everybody hates you and you shouldn't be wearing that. That's enough. Yeah. Sorry. And your taste in movies is awful. You didn't even write anything about that. But I just know- I know. Oh my God. Your letter box is shit. You don't even have one. Okay. Olivia, before we move on to more stories, are you certain this is, this is the worst person we're gonna read about today? I'm certain this is the worst person ever. And if I see her coming. Oh my God. I hope we don't. I hope for her sake, we don't. We gotta read a few comments here. You're the asshole, but don't worry. I'm sure the catering team will get it right at your next wedding. Oh, okay. Olivia, you are correct. People are coming for her. Yes. Your marriage is so fucking tough, dude. Olivia probably made five accounts and- That's me. Someone said, you're the asshole too bad you didn't get to enjoy your wedding reception because you couldn't stop obsessing over a college age server. The things that you objected to in the server could have been fixed. She could have removed her jewelry. The boss could have given her a shirt that covered her better, but you didn't want it fixed. You chose to complain about her and not the offending items. This was entirely your choice to not enjoy yourself. Lastly, someone said, who spends so much energy on their wedding day because a server was wearing too much eyeliner and earrings? You're the asshole. You need therapy. This is not normal. Oh, what was she thinking? She got roasted. She also threatened to call the cops. Oh, we never discussed the cops. That is the close caring thing. Which is very telling, it's very telling behavior. You got to arrest this girl, she is. Wearing tight clothes and I see a breast and it's coming out. It's scary. And there's diamond studs and a flashy ring. Like this? Jesus Christ. I know, okay, we can't rile her up. I am going to arrest you. We can't rile her up. We got to keep it down. Okay. We got to keep it down. We must move on. Let's see if anybody's worse than that. I don't think so. I do. I don't think so. It's always possible. Our next story. Comes from, am I the asshole posted in September of 2021? Good year. That was my favorite year. Am I the asshole for being at breaking point with my husband's made up language? Oh my God, pig Latin. My husband has always been a bit goofy, giving his own names to things and doing impressions. About 18 months ago, this started. It doesn't piss me off. But to be clear, you said the lady from the last story is the worst person we're going to read about today. About 18 months ago, this started to increase a lot. It's now a constant presence in our lives and I'm finding it difficult to live with. Examples, he has his own name for most retail outlets, professionals, organizations. Eat Your Greens is Walgreens. Sharts and gobbles is Barnes and Noble. He has about 30 to 40 everyday words that he insists on using in place of normal ones. Scuppers with a rising whistle at the end is yes. Bing with a descending whistle is no and bagaya good night. He constantly does weird sound impersonations not like celebrities or characters, but a single noise that's a made up sound or something childish like a fart from a children's TV show. He speaks random words like garbage or douchebag, wilson burping or fart. He has made up names for our friends, which he uses sometimes even under his breath when we're out with them. Pam and Will are pig and wig. I've just had enough. We got into bed the other night and I said good night and he said bagaya. In the high pitched voice he always does it in. I snapped and asked why he couldn't just speak to me normally and he just laughed and came right up close to my face and did it again. His whistling is constant. He speaks to our kid in this stupid language and I'm worried it's going to confuse normal language development because he changes the words so often. Our toddler could be about to hurt themselves and instead of saying no or come here, he'll say some ridiculous made up word or sound and then get annoyed when our kid doesn't know what he wants.

Normal in other respects, works in finance and is totally professional around his colleagues but different at home. I told him it needs to stop. I don't mind it occasionally or for fun but it's all the time and it's wearing me down. He got upset and said I couldn't take a joke and that I'm not fun anymore. It's true that I've become more irritable and noise averse since we had kids but I'm so worn out and over it and just want them to relate to me like an adult. Edit, I do not believe but I'm not health qualified. That he displays any symptoms of Tourette's, autism, neurological disorders, et cetera and hasn't ever done despite this. He is physically well by all measures. He is for sure not having a stroke or significant physical health event. Yes, I can see this could be a reaction to stress. For those asking why I married him, he did not do this to this extent before we had kids. Occasionally, yes, with the occasional name or words but not this regular. He is amazing in many ways but this one thing is now too much for me. I don't feel it's right to discount him or throw out the whole marriage because of it but it does need to change. He will not go to therapy. We have discussed it calmly previously. He did not take me seriously or make changes. He sees this as funny and just a joke. I agree that we need to talk more. Yes, it can be funny occasionally. I'm not trying to spoil his fun. I also need an adult partner at times and for him to stop when not appropriate. Bing, bing. Well, bonga, bonga, yaya. Baga yaya. Baga yaya. Baga yaya. Scuppers, bing. I hate this. Okay, here's what I think is happening. I think when a man becomes a dad sometimes and a woman, they turn into something else, like a creature of sorts. What? And I think they get into this childlike place. I think not a lot of people talk about men after having kids. Like women talk about postpartum, not enough, but like men also go through a version of postpartum and maybe something has switched to him. They just become a silly little guy. And he's just, in order to cope, he's just like, bing, bing, bing, bing. I, okay. He became Crazy Frog. So I have a made up language too. Chinese, Mandarin. Mandarin is not made up. I'm like, by the way, this is made up. I'm like, I don't think it's made up. I have a made up language, ni Hao Ma. No. No. Yeah. No, that's my made up language. Yeah, for sure. Something has snapped in you. Something has snapped. I do think that having children, something triggers a man to become more like a child. a child and not always but I think maybe maybe they start subconsciously thinking about when they were a child and how they were yeah, I've heard this before Look at us professionally coming at this where it's just like he's giving her the egg trying to figure out big time He also should go to therapy because I think there's him saying no to the line. Well, it's interesting that could you say no? She'll say He said She said he will not go to therapy we have discussed it calmly previously He did not take me seriously or make changes think the issue about all of this is just that he doesn't do this stuff around his friends She's saying and at work and another situations. He does around her She has asked him to stop and he just keeps saying it's just a joke. It just sounds like he's being disrespectful Yeah, well, that's a bit no matter how silly the circumstances are. He's just not listening He's not he's a financial bro his his financial bros would never accept this probably he clearly Is not getting a creative outlet that he needs he needs to go fucking take a clown He doesn't do clowning he does he he has he's having a creative this guy needs to be an improviser. Yeah no, sometimes I feel like if I were in a Job like this and I can't be crazy and wild. I might this might happen. Yeah Imagine I was a financial person and I was like walking over to people's desk and I was like hey y'all like I Would go home and be like what for Dana exactly exactly like I would lose my shit his calling He's not doing what he actually enjoys but the kid situation Him speaking to the kids in another language that would bother me so much the real issue I think here is that he's speaking to their kids in a made-up language Yeah, they're in a development phase which would would frustrate me because Those aren't real words that they can use the kids are confused And they're very words and then it said he will say instead of saying no He'll say is made up stuff and then get frustrated when the kids don't yes What's going on? We don't know what pig and we means I look I'm not a man will yeah, I'm well pig and wig I'm obviously not a psychologist by any means. I have no Expertise in it, but I do feel like what seems to be happening is this guy there's there's something going on Yeah, and this is a weird way that it's coming out of him. Yeah, and he's going. Oh, I don't need therapy. I'm fine It's like no, I don't think you are something's occurring going on inside your head Yeah, I don't know what it is, but his kids are bringing out some side that was suppressed Yeah, because especially because he's down playing it when he's being it like he is not recognizing what's coming You're not fun anymore. Yeah, like I can understand why comments and stuff are going Oh, is there Tourette's or autism or something because it's it's displaying like like oh, there's like something Neurological maybe happening and I think maybe but it's maybe more like maybe it's like a trauma response I know it can be get your brain scan. He really should Go because I feel like someone this is an interesting behavior. Yes happening. There is also the element of like she's like this is wearing me down There is also the element the possibility that he's this is a form of just pure like manipulation and just It's possible We don't know who these people are at all doing this to berate her because he sees how much it affects People do mean shit. I don't know. Yeah, I'm saying we don't know these people. These are all possibilities This is still not as bad as wedding woman. Okay, I do agree with you. I agree with you The verdict is not the asshole. She's doing nothing wrong comments Is this a real post if it is you got problems op not the asshole op said I wish I was joking I sometimes wonder if lockdown broke something in his brain. Oh Someone said not the asshole. I do this kind of stuff a lot mostly the one about Imitating stuff from shows I quote random ticktocks all the time make weird noises to myself, etc But I'm more than capable of cutting it out if I have to I used to say my guy all the time until it became a habit I don't know about that one my guy. All right, my guy that one specifically drove my ex up the wall And when he told me he hated it I made a concentrated effort to stop saying it the fact he doesn't do this around other people shows He's more than capable of knocking it off when required and that he's aware at least on some level that he's doing it The only thing I can suggest given that your husband doesn't seem receptive to an adult conversation Is that you refuse to engage with him unless he speaks properly? Like if he says scuppers or whatever it was just act confused and say sorry was that a yes or no? Basically don't react to these weird made-up things. He's saying and show him you're not going to play ball anymore. Yeah, oh He said thanks. Yes, I think this is a plan It's been going on for so long now that I don't often have to ask for a translation anymore So I tend to still reply to his nonsense. I'm going to stop answering unless he speaks normally So Do you want lobster for dinner? Okay, I am laughing it is funny Man I was saying dude a lot and man my girlfriend was at me someone said no one's the asshole Have you spoken to him directly about the fact you've noticed he's doing this more often? Is it possible? He's falling into this silly type of thing to cope with other stresses. Yes I completely understand being annoyed by it But if the frequency has increased there is certainly a reason for it Maybe giving him the opportunity to open up about this in conversation as opposed to a response to you snapping We'll shed some light and make things easier for everyone involved. Well, he said yes loads of times a few months ago We had a serious but calm discussion about it And I told him it was too much and I couldn't take it all the time He said he didn't notice he was doing it So I started pointing it out and he got fed up and told me I was being way too picky. I just can't take it anymore I'm sick of reminding him to not be so gross burping and making weird noises Oh, we're having dinner and the high pitch sounds make me want to claw my eyes out He even does it whilst I'm trying to settle our toddler for bed, which just gets him all hyperactive and hard to settle Toddlers going to bed. She's a good night. He's like garbage Garbage when he burps, right? Yeah This is so all right, we've come back around he's hilarious There's something going on and I would lose my literal mind. Yes. I would lose my mind I think this person needs a help professional help. Yes. Yeah, probably Update. Oh my god. Thank God It's been several months since I posted this so thought I'd come back to update as requested He eventually agreed to get checked out confirmed neurotypical and no other health concerns We were referred for marriage counseling and he wouldn't go I ended it and I'm slowly rebuilding my life Honestly, this post was just the tip of the iceberg and I'm exhausted but glad to be out He also ended up really insulting our close friends and it all spiraled into complete hellfire So She's saying this was just the tip of the iceberg there was okay So this is the reddit thing that happens a lot where someone writes in they go They go oh my my husband's making silly noises and then they update and they go oh by the way He also tried to murder me. It's like yeah, okay So the silly noises because they didn't want it. They don't want to fully admit the big scary Well, they're kind of like yeah, they're kind of processing like yeah He makes silly noises isn't that crazy and in the back of the other like he tried to kill me. Yeah, yeah, he cheated on me Wait, so they're just divorced. They're divorced and so the kid is gonna go to dad's house and it's gonna be all Made-up language first get back. It'll be interesting if he continues doing it. He will I'm surprised He was willing to go to a doctor to get checked out and they're like yeah, he's not because he's not he probably knows that he's not yeah Yeah, yeah, wow Maybe maybe he did it so she would divorce him and and and it was her Like like like a gong girl type of thing. Yeah, this is gone girl. This is gone girl Shane's not buying it. He doesn't like it. I just No, but it's also funny when it's like oh why'd you guys get a divorce? well, um, I was like saying all these I've a made-up language and That's what that's crazy Damn Yeah, still not still not still not Ladies the worst but then but then this this woman and her future dates or husbands or partners They say one little quirky thing. She's like she's like stop. He's like gotcha. She's like stop He's like the slippery slope. She's like no don't stop it. He's like boo. Yeah Yeah, boo. Yeah One of them burps she pulls out a gun Enough enough Dear she keeps attracting these people Looney Tunes. Yeah She's just with a cartoon Wow, okay Our next story comes from relationship advice. This was posted October of 2025 I hurt my friend's girlfriend's feelings by saying his ex was a better cook. How do I make her feel better? All right, so OP is a 32 year old man. His friend is a 26 year old man and his friends girlfriend is a 28 year old woman Once again, I hurt my friends girlfriends feelings by saying his ex was a better cook How do I make her feel better? Spacks, that's just how it is sometimes. Yeah, my friend recently started dating this new girl I would say it's been about six months since they started dating One thing that I noticed is he's cooking way more than he did in his previous relationship This is the first relationship since he and his ex broke up for good and one thing about his ex She could cook she made by far the best pork chop I have ever tasted But everything she made she could do some crazy work in that kitchen My wife is more of a baker, but when they would both team up where she cooks and my wife would bake It was like Shaq and Kobe Now unfortunately my friends ex cheated on him, but I was able to convince him to try to make it work Holy shit, but I convinced him to try to make it work, but then she cheated again and there was no convincing It sucks because I missed those pork chops He had my wife and I over for dinner and surprisingly his new girlfriend was cooking in his new relationship He's been doing the majority of the cooking her cooking was average. He is good, but his ex was great So after we ate she said be honest. How was it? Oh, no She'd cheated on your best friend you go you got to go back And invite me over the night Okay, so this new girl asked about the cooking she goes be honest How was it? Oh, no, so my wife and I were honest like she asked and said it was average We talked about how his ex was the most amazing cook ever and gave her some tips My wife said if we ranked her cooking it would be my friend's ex herself me my friend and then his current girlfriend I Disagreed When they said be honest, it's not one of those situations where you're gonna need to be honest Okay, how was this food that I just cooked for you just now? Oh well his ex The world moves fast your workday even faster pitching products drafting reports analyzing data Microsoft 365 co-pilot is your AI assistant for work built into word Excel PowerPoint and other Microsoft 365 apps you use Helping you quickly write analyze create and summarize So you can cut through clutter and clear a path to your best work learn more at Microsoft comm slash and 365 co-pilot Who's hot by the way? Yeah, she's very hot Tithing you Yours are an a yeah She was the Kobe of cooking My ranking is my friend's ex my friend my wife my friend's current girlfriend and then me But I do think there is room for debate after the first two to be honest But I don't think it's close my friends X by a wide margin Then my friend himself you can play with the other order somewhat after that then we talked about how combining my friends X's cooking with Her baking was an unstoppable force lol anyway her feelings are really hurt Yeah And my friend made us leave My wife are confused because she asked for honesty and we were giving her feedback now I see we should have lied but don't ask people to be honest and then get mad at honesty But still I do want to make it up to her any ideas welcome cook some pork chop I'll take long to reply because I'm at work, but will when I can thank you. She didn't ask for a ranking dude No, what if she did ask? She said be I how was the food be honest? You imagine okay, so if I have to rank if I have to write they're just sitting there going like well Let's rank them well of course the hot hot hot X did Swoop in in front of them. They go well, all right, right His ex okay, can I just say? Yes, that is really mean to say to a new girlfriend entering their friend group. However, I Think I appreciate this type of honesty. Yeah, I got it. You know, it's like I Can appreciate this type of honesty if it's welcomed by all in the room and expected but she was not Asking for that no she was asking she was asking for feedback. It's not like if okay if you if we go into an audition And you go yeah, how's the street? It's like well if I had to rank all of the actors today I love that. I would actually appreciate that wouldn't I'd be like yeah, how can I do better? Yeah, would be what I do kind of agree with like there is that if you are like yeah, I want that Yeah, tell me there is a world where being able to handle that type of honesty is very free. Yes But in this situation wait she cooked something as she asked for feedback and they went into talking don't bring up someone's X Don't ever bring someone's average. Not a fun word. Not a nobody likes mid or average It's crazy how average means. Oh, it's the most common, but but it's it's bad Also, what's worse to say put down the food and go okay? What do you guys think be honest as it like it? It's chopped up hot dogs Well, okay, here's the thing what if I did look crazy what if the X's Bobby play or What or Gordon Ramsay true? He's married well, you know or and Martha Stewart Wow, his ex is Martha Stewart. Do you know what I mean? Do you know she was good at pork chops? It's Ina garden, you know, she's okay She's married and her and Jeffrey have a very solid relationship No, I'm saying like what if it was like the best no, I know cook Like why is this friend convincing the friend so hard even after she cheated to get back These pork chops must be these these friends got to let this X go What if they just be friend the X OPs need they it seems like that's what they they should just be friends with the X So they can keep eating her pork chops They cared about the pork chops so much What they need is they just need to get the recipe. Yeah and get better Pork chops are not easy I think that's an advanced recipe you have to cook with love them saying it was it was not that great is not the problem It's that they brought their hair to the X people they could have said I thought it was dog shit. That's fine. Yeah, I She said give me honest feedback and they could say I actually hated that so much but what are you? Don't but they really fucked up by bringing up there his ex. That's where I think they're really the asshole if someone said It's I would never say that to someone I would never I would not say that oh You hated it. Would you say you liked it? I'm also. Oh, here's okay. Let me be completely honest here. I I rarely hate food like I have I know so you're just like you just shovel it in I'm saying I'm never gonna be like I hate it if if I was if I was with someone I trusted and we had a Good relationship where I know I could be honest. Yeah, how was it? I would maybe be like mmm. I think it maybe needs more of this or like I would offer like how I think yes, it could get there, but I'm saying that I don't think they're necessarily assholes for whatever they said when someone goes be honest Yeah, like it and they go I hated it But where I think their assholes is don't rank her with his ex don't bring up the X Don't bring up the X. I think you're an asshole if you bring up someone's X theory I'm conspiracy theory go on X girlfriend Told them to say that You think you was like yeah, give you an unlimited supply of pork chops for one month Yes, they go oh we're actually there were going over for dinner and she goes you know what? You tell you tell her you tell her yeah, my food. Yeah better. You want a pork chop on your pillow tonight? Yeah, you go tell them. Yes. Do you know what I mean? I want you to say average. That's my conspiracy theory I love that. Is there an update on what her plan was? We don't have an update on this, but we do have comments Comments you wanted your friend to stay with a cheating piece of shit so you could occasionally have pork chops You're a shitty person in general. I'd unfriend you in a heartbeat Opie said that's not why I wanted them to stay together I thought she was genuinely remorseful and I could tell he really loved her the breakup Devastated him and he didn't date for a while after that Someone said she didn't ask how her food compared to his ex She asked how her food was if you can't figure out where you went wrong. I wouldn't be expecting an invite back Someone said so the girlfriend asked for feedback and you compared her to a cheating x y Constructive feedback can be it was a bit dry or I prefer a bit more flavor But a direct comparison to another person much less someone like the ex isn't helpful or kind you need to apologize profusely And vow to never mention the ex again You sound like you're in love with the ex or at least her cooking to try to push her onto your bff and his ex in such a cruel Fashion she asked how the food was not a comparison between everyone sitting in the room mentioning The ex wasn't needed and why did you try to convince him to take back a cheater because you missed those pork chops? Seriously, did you American pie those pork chops? That would be so hard. It would be really how would you get it even in there? Oh people responded that saying when I told him to take her back It had nothing to do with the pork chops I could tell that he really loved her and she illustrated to my wife and I that she was serious about changing and rebuilding his trust No, right. Yeah, so no one actually gave him suggestions on how to nobody was I don't know Well, someone said apologize profusely This person likes to make comparisons Shaq and Kobe in the kitchen, you know, like which is hilarious Yeah, so I think this is their personality if you said that if you said that this is Jack in that His wife the baker the baker Yeah, I would say that's I would say that's because pork chops that that requires more accurate No, I would say a baker requires more accuracy and stuff. So maybe that's Kobe Whereas a cook is a more general like a big like, you know, that's the main event like that I'm enjoying this. Well, Kobe is also the main event. They're both the main event. That's that's why they that's why there was so much competition between With Shaq it was an unstoppable force Kobe could hit threes like nobody's business So so I think he's the pork chop what are you gonna do cuz you have to Shaq cuz you have to double triple team Shaq No, you're saying Shaq you have to triple team his wife Or jobs Shane you're talking about something completely different reality It's what you have to do if you want to triple team the pork chop woman do it. No Like if that's your goal here My whole point to come on red is sorry is just a rose if yeah If they if they said the Shaq and Kobe thing to this current girlfriend, there's no going back You can't compare someone's ex Kobe. I would have been like what the hell and then I would what is going on No, for sure. I kind of want to get to know this person. What I don't think you but but Amanda You are someone who I think nothing's gonna like you can handle When we eat our food, I'm like, what did you put in this? I'm like, ooh no too much too much of this and he's like, yeah, you're right Yeah, same when you're in like a long relationship. Holy shit. By the way, I'm an amazing cook. You are an amazing I'm an amazing cook you are But like if I'm doing something like like my partner would be like, oh, yeah, this this feels little too I will say though the better of a cook you are the less Offended you are by notes. Yeah, cuz I because you guys are both You know a lot about cooking and your husband knows so much about cooking I feel like people who know a lot about cooking. They're actually eager for feedback because it is a constant experiment Yeah, but if you're not that much of a cook, it's it's very much like oh, it's a big undertaking You're taking on and you want to know that you pleased your gas. Yeah So that's tough. It's tough, but don't compare someone to their ex. No or shaker Kobe I mean that sounds fun, but yeah, but we still also clarify is your wife the baker Kobe or she shak I need to know which one is Yeah, we ask them. I mean if I'm them you got to apologize you have to apologize what profusely means I don't know my advice to OP is have your shak wife bake something awesome Come over and say hey How are these be honest and then she'd be like and then let her do whatever the It's probably amazing. Yeah, here's the thing that's great. You offer something different So it's like yeah, the ex was a great cook this new girl and girlfriend probably won't cheat on him won't cheat on him And that's and that's better. Yeah, and they can order out. It's like hey goddamn those pork chops though. I Really want these pork chops. Yeah, I don't need pork. I don't need pork and to be clear The woman is still the worst the woman is still the bride is the worst the bride is still the worst person Dive in studs. Okay flashy ring. Yeah, our final story comes from am I the asshole? It was posted in February of this year. Oh, am I the asshole for confronting my girl when I realized she took credit for something She didn't really do Oh So a couple days ago my girl and I were celebrating and she told me she made me chocolates as a gift She was super excited about it saying she spent hours on them. She works a little waitress job So she doesn't have a ton of money crazy thing to say My girl she works a tiny little way Hell not handle this so she doesn't have a ton of money So I didn't mind her cheeping out a bit compared to what I got. I thought it was sweet that she tried I didn't even know she knew how to make sweets and stuff because she always says she can barely cook She's not Kobe in the kitchen. Anyway Anyway, I asked her how she learned how to make it and it turns out she just melted pre-made chocolate and poured it into molds She didn't even make any of the fillings herself either She got store-bought caramel and fruit spread and stuff literally all of it was pre-made She barely put any effort at all and then she was all proud of herself Usually I try to let things go because she's so sensitive to criticism But it just really irritated me that she tricked me like that so I called her out on lying about it She got upset and said she did make them because she put in so much effort Halfway through arguing with me about if it's okay to lie to me or not She just starts texting someone and said she doesn't want to argue anymore She ended up getting her sister to come pick her up and she's been hanging out with her instead of me for the past two days Her sister called me a dick on her way out too, which kind of makes me think my girl lied to her also about making them Otherwise, I don't know why she'd be mad at me at first. I was really sure that I was right But maybe I need to be more forgiving of it like at the end of the day I know she's not a great cook. So maybe I should have expected it not to actually be from scratch She's usually really sweet and text me a lot, but she hasn't been talking to me much the past couple days So I'm starting to feel like maybe I overreacted edit for clarity You guys are really upset about the way I talk and just wanted to address it. She knows I call her my girl She calls me her dude. She calls it a little waitress job too because it's basically just a side gig How I talk is not really the problem at all and I think it's strange you all are so focused on it Anyway, some others said my age and what I got her matters So I'm 32 and I got her some old figurines. She collects also just to clarify You guys seem to think she put a lot more effort into this than it sounded like she did from her explanation I'm seeing people talking about Thermometers and how hard it is to make chocolate melt But she literally only used the microwave to melt it and she doesn't even own a kitchen thermometer So I doubt she used one. Oh my god Everyone just isn't understanding when I say she's got really little experience cooking and didn't seem to put much effort into these She literally just melted it in the microwave poured it into molds and then put stuff She bought inside of it that doesn't even sound like what you guys are saying homemade chocolates are done like some people have said I should make my own to see how hard it is And I think I might because you're all describing actually sounds hard unlike what she did with the microwave and everything Okay, my little dude I'm so sorry I don't think you deserve to be in a relationship my little dude. No because your little girl little waitress job She's gonna have a way better time Not making you goddamn anything This man does not want this little girl This man does not want his girl to succeed at all. No he consistently I think he said it like seven times that she didn't put any effort into it. You're a little man Okay, you're a tiny tiny little man with a very very average below average brain Ray ray, okay, I get him and you know what I would love to do to this person Yeah, get him. I would love to go inside your house. Oh Take away everything. Okay. Okay, so you're robbing him. I want to take away your stove Oh, that's gonna be your shoes a very interesting thief. I'm gonna move your ass out of your house Oh, yeah, and then you're gonna go in your house. Everything's gone. Yeah, take the shoes in the stove for sure No, everything everything. Oh everything. Yeah, I'm gonna get it. You're gonna start with stove. No. Yeah I want to take everything out of your life. Yes stove for so you're just an empty little Tiny little man. Yeah, God and you know what I'm gonna I Hope you never get married. Okay. Yeah, yeah bring it around. No, I literally hope you never get married. Okay. Yeah, get him Yeah, yeah, so stove first and then you get him. I'm gonna be back here. Yeah, you get him. No, I'll be here. I'm right I'm here. Honestly this this little dude Man and I will say I was when he was talking about her I was gonna be like so just the way you're talking about her it shows that you don't have any respect for her So then he said edit and as he's trying to say hey guys, this is our thing. He's again Disrespecting even double time in the edit. I fucking hate this person. Yeah. Yeah, but you said the other ladies worse. Oh Yeah, Olivia is the worst of the Olivia They're both equally the same. Oh, you got it. You can yeah coppers Scuppers look like freaking Scuppers look like Bing. Yeah To be clear she made chocolates. What's the definition really care? How people make chocolates like I'm like you made me chocolate. She put it in a mold And fill out a stuff that sounds hard. I'm sorry. She gave you she she spent her time She spent her time. He's mad about the process in which she melted chocolate. He failed He should be so happy that anything even she went to buy a Russell Stover's from CVS and that is enough Honestly, that shit's good though. You're upset by chocolate. Who's ever upset when they see chocolate? Yeah No, he clearly has a complete a very specific Take on who his partner is and should be and he's judging her from the get-go He's like he's like she has no experience, but really she does it Uh, she she has a little waitress job and probably no money, but really she spent all of her time off She probably works all the time. Yeah, she spent her time off getting all the ingredients and making it well. You're at home masturbating to some weird weird stuff Because you're weirdo The verdict asshole Comments dude my girlfriend knows how you feel for Valentine's Day I made her a prime rib roast with garlic mash and baby carrots The problem is I didn't raise the cow butchered and then prepare the roast instead I bought it from the store and cooked it and that's not all I didn't grow the potatoes the garlic or the carrots She got mad that I bought them too and don't get me started about the dishes those came from Ikea All I did was spend two hours prepping cooking and serving and cleaning. What a knob. I am you're the asshole man Someone said you're the asshole fun What a fun guy someone said you're the asshole and she works a little waitress job was all I needed to hear Someone said you're the asshole. That's literally how you make homemade chocolate I was expecting you to say someone else had melted the chocolates and poured it this gift would have taken at minimum an hour For her to make you owe her a huge apology Update yes, yes, yes All right So the OP posted a picture of the chocolate the girlfriend made easy on the subreddit chocolate Claiming that he made the chocolates for her to get an unbiased opinion okay Put together put together so he would have a manipulative weirdo posted on chocolates a subreddit Saying cool together chocolates for my girl. Do they look okay, and they look fantastic Wait, oh my god, they're like and there's white chocolate. There's white chocolate and regular chocolate. Holy shit What do you expect look they look like chocolate. Have you seen a fucking sorry? Have you seen chocolate in your life? That's how they look like Why come in this? Comments on that man Why do I have to run into you twice in one day for the record if you had been supportive and complimentary toward your girlfriends efforts? She might have worked up the confidence eventually to try making them from scratch little steps are important I doubt she'll ever try making chocolate again now someone else said dude. What the fuck is this? You're not making it any better. I love that people followed him. Yes, the chocolate. They're like we followed you to the chocolate land. Oh My god, this this this little dude is in chocolate land. Let's get him You think you can hoodwink us on reddit my fedora is on so tight my head You're not gonna escape me watch out little dude my headache and I are coming for you Update number two shut up a lot of you guys were so dramatic. I really couldn't take I really couldn't take most of the comments Seriously, I still think homemade chocolates implies that every part is homemade Oh, my god, clearly most people just say homemade Imprecisely so I think it's not really her fault that she used that word in this situation Oh, my god, I decided to go ahead and apologize since it's clear She didn't lie since she didn't mislead me on purpose I also chose not to make chocolate to myself because I don't care to be in the kitchen much I I hate I hate I thought if I posted a pic of the ones she made and asked for feedback from people who actually know What they're talking about I could get a better idea of if she actually did them right or not And how hard that might be without having to try myself Like I said before she doesn't even own a thermometer So all the people saying she tempered it right based on one comment where I talk about them being crunchy We're probably wrong in my opinion The problem is that some of you are weirdos who follow people to other subs at first people were complimenting her chocolates So I was thinking maybe I really do need to apologize for thinking she put in no effort But then someone posted a link and a flood of people showed up to insult them just because I said I made them There were a lot of comments saying how it's obvious no effort was put in they look terrible, etc But I can't trust those since they came from a poisoned well so to speak I decided to just not mention that point to her since I couldn't get a clear answer on if they actually turned out well According to people who actually know about chocolate So I texted her to ask if we could talk it over and she agreed because of how dramatic the commenters were I did start to get a little nervous So I decided to go kind of over the top with the apology took her on a date to a little arts and crafts place She let her go and I got her some food She also apologized for running off to her sister's place and said she's gonna take a little break from her for a while because Apparently she said some pretty messed up things about me that upset her I guess her sister thought she was gonna dump me so she assumed my girl would laugh along with her when she made some bigoted Comments and said a few other things that really hurt my girls feelings, which is great in my opinion I always got the feeling her sister never liked me and I guess I know it's now it's clear why anyway I'm just glad she came home and everything settled down Sorry to all you people hoping she'd freak out and throw away ten years over something as silly as candies LL. She may have a history with lying as I mentioned in the comments, but she's definitely a lot more mature than you people I just went to chocolate land and I wish I never went there. I literally can't I Little dude, there's a subreddit for everything Condescending a little a little arts and crafts like you stupid little arts and crafts Are so belittling and you are just so yes, and you have little little Littlely you have no self Confidence or Like you're not you know what if I had a rank this yeah with this person and then that other guys X this person is worse Then you think this guy's worse than the bride. Yes. I think they're completely different This person is worse because this person will not change and he's like you guys are weirdos for following to another subreddit I'm like you're the weirdo who did that Well, how when and how is she ever going to ever make anything? Again for this man or sorry this little dude How is how is how is this how how are they gonna make little things together ever again? You know what I think she should get you know what maybe this will boost her confidence in learning how to make she'll be an incredible chocolate tier and She needs to move to Switzerland learn how to make I guarantee She was like oh, I'll just make some fun chocolates for February. That's it. She probably doesn't even But he he just I think it's even bigger than her making these chocolates He just literally does not respect her and doesn't see Doesn't see this like growth. How can they even grow together? Yeah, like what if she makes a big decision and he's just like I Can't really can't hate man. I hate you this little dude. I don't know you He doesn't seem like he's actually sorry. He apologized after reddit people. Yes He needed he needed people from reddit to be like, yeah, those actually look good and him be like, oh damn I guess I need to apologize people who you don't even know that's the worst But it is like he's apologizing because he feels sorry and like that he wants her back He's just I'm apologizing so that I'm smoothing things over which is so shitty I feel so disappointed in people Yeah, how are you like this like why don't you want to be a better kinder? Partner they weren't given the tools. I feel like a lot of people were just they weren't given the right Tools and their toolkit to work through all of this stuff that is thrown at them But I still think this little dude is a little fucking asshole. Yeah for sure like I don't I don't I don't Appreciate this at all. Yeah, neither and I wish that she would leave him me too. Yeah But I will say the bride Still worse still bad. That was pretty rough. I'm sorry still worse. Yeah pretty rough These stories make me go wow, I'm so glad we have each other. Oh, yeah, do you know what I mean?
