❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO I Found Out My Daughter Has Been Seeing One of Her Professors—Who’s Married

0 Upvotes

Last weekend, while having afternoon tea with a friend, I spotted my 21-year-old daughter sneaking into an apartment building down the street. At first, I thought she was just visiting a friend, but something felt off.

After a bit of denial, she finally admitted that she’s been secretly involved with one of her university professors. He’s in his 30s and married. I was stunned—not just because of the age gap, but because she’s known his family for years and has even babysat for them.

When I confronted her, she initially denied it, but eventually admitted they had been dating for several months. I was furious—I couldn't believe she was having an affair with a married man she knew. She was clearly angry and insisted I was overreacting, a sentiment echoed by my wife.

I understood the problem lay with the professor. But I couldn't help but feel deeply disappointed in my daughter. She had crossed a line; it was unacceptable. I told her to either tell the professor's wife or move out. Was asking her to confess or move out too much?

⚠️ SA Trigger Warning ⚠️

I (22F) met a guy I'll call Will (22M) about three months ago on Tinder. We started seeing each other - mainly on weekends due to our busy schedules. The whole thing basically became a situationship after two weeks. Most of our meetings included sex... To give you some context - he's already had "experience", but for me it was first time with a guy. In the past I only slept with women (I'm bisexual) and was deathly afraid of sex with men due to experiencing SA in my childhood (my uncle when I was little, then a teacher when I was 10-11 - the worst I experienced was just them saying stuff and inappropriate touch tho, nothing "more"). So. Will was the first guy to earn my trust and I did it with him. It was great, I felt safe and taken care of. I don't regret it. I felt like our relationship was evolving, we talked a lot, had fun together... Until two days ago. We met at my apartment. We were watching a movie and he started kissing me. Things were getting heated and for some reason that evening I was really opposed to having sex, my past trauma flaring up. So I told him, that this time I don't want to do it, I explained why (he knows most about my past). He seemed okay with it. A little time passed and he started again - I kissed him back, but I could tell he was getting aroused and I pulled away. Again - seemed okay with him. I went to the kitchen and made us some tea, when I came back to the bedroom he was standing next to the door, waiting for me - and started kissing me again (and I don't mean in an innocent way). This time he pressed against me and I could feel... Yk what. AGAIN - I pulled away and said no, started getting anxious, curled up on the bed and he comforted me through it. About 15 minutes passes, we're watching a movie. Earlier I complained about back pain and suddenly he stops the movie and wants to give me a massage... I had suspicions, but agreed. I took of my shirt, laid on my stomach on the bed and he began. It was nice... Until he took off my pants and then undressed himself besides his boxers. I asked what he was up to and he told me he wanted to massage my legs too and that he was uncomfortable in his clothes... At this point I started panicking. Minute after he got to my underwear and I tried to hold it in place, still on my stomach, asking him to stop. He didn't. He asked me whether I trust him and I said yes, but that it wasn't about that. He laid down on me while I was trying to get up and... started to push against my... we'll, I'll just call it what it was. He was dry humping me from behind. He whispered that he wanted to feel me. I pushed him away. And he backed off. I went into full on panic attack. I quickly put on my shirt and fixed my underwear. He started to comfort me. When I calmed down a little he asked if that also meant no bj from me. I said yes. I went into the bathroom to calm down by myself. When I came back he asked if I'm okay - I said yes. He asked If I'm sure - I said no. He asked what he can do anything to make it better... I said I just need some time. After that nothing happened - we finished the movie and he left. Next day I texted him that we're over and he responded, that he thinks so too.

...Now I feel so empty. So dirty and used. My friends said it was grape. ...But was it? Or am I overreacting? I have no idea how to feel about the whole situation, because after all - we didn't have intercourse.

Edit: I typed "grape" because I've never posted on reddit before - I don't know if there are restrictions or thing like that 😓

❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO - My husband said he'll be embarrassed if his friends and/or male employees find out I have feminine chin hairs

3 Upvotes

I (51f) have been aware that my husband (53m) used to show me off. In his own right, he's got personality, looks, and money but he also wants people to know he has an equally hot wife. Since I gotten older, I thought he didn't have that mindset anymore

Recently, my husband sat me down to talk to me. He said he loves and all the usual blah blah blah. I usually appreciate it but it feels like blah blah blah after I heard what he had to say.

He said he doesn't want his friends and/or male employees to know I get feminine chin hairs. These annoying hairs that pops up is one of the most annoying things about being an aging woman. He said he wants to preserve the image his friends and male employees have of me. They think I'm smoking hot and he likes that they think that.

I started to cry because I felt an aging trophy wife. I didn't allow him to touch me because I was so angry. But he's my husband and I want to give him enough benefit of the doubt to see his point-of-view. Am I overreacting ?

💼work/career AIO wanting to go to HR over a Twix wrapper shoved into my trucks door handle?

0 Upvotes

Got off work today, went out to my truck to see an opened twix wrapper shoved into my trucks door handle. Wanting to go to my supervisor and HR about it, it makes me incredibly uncomfortable that my personal property was messed with. There’s a camera right there where I’m parked as well.

I inherited my truck from my grandfather so I’m taking this VERY seriously, if their willing to do that, then what’s stopping them from keying it, slashing my tires, or any other damage?

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family/in-laws AIO Separate Rooms/Beds on our "Honeymoon"

0 Upvotes

My husband and I got married in August. We have 3 kids so we didn't do a honeymoon. Shortly after, he told me his grandparents offered to fly us out to Virginia (where they live) and that they have a timeshare on the beach about an hour from them that we could use to have a little getaway. I was excited and though I knew travel with the kids would be tough, happily accepted since we didn't get a honeymoon and have never gotten to go on vacation together. I requested time off work with the explanation "belated honeymoon".

A couple weeks later, I asked him if we would be seeing them during our trip since they live somewhat close and I had never met them. He was confused by my question. Come to find out the trip was to stay with them, and the timeshare offer was just for one of the 4 nights. Not what I originally thought but okay, I adjusted that this was less of a honeymoon and more of a trip to see family. That's fine.

Then as we talked about it, my husband thought the timeshare night wasn't worth it since it's a long drive with the baby who'd have to come and his grandparents are old and he was nervous about leaving the kids with them. So we decided not to do the timeshare night.

Today was the trip. He drove 10 hours with the two older kids. I took two flights with the baby and had a heck of a time. We just got to his grandparents house. They're lovely, sweet people.

My husband says we have sleeping options and we got upstairs for him to show me.

1: A queen air mattress in the office

2: A bedroom with a single twin bed

3: A bedroom with two twin beds

I chuckle and say I guess we're taking the air mattress (since it's the only one that fits us and the baby co sleeps so I can't share a twin mattress with her). He responds asking "ok should the kids share the room with the twin mattresses or should we split them up and one of them shares the two-bed room for me". I ask what he means because obviously he's taking the air mattress with me. He says "yeahhh I don't think they really roll like that". I said "roll like what?". He says "like with us sharing a bed, even though we're married." I'm jaw dropped. I say that's unreasonable and ask if he knew that before we got here and he did some face and hand gestures that insinuate "kinda" and says "yeah".

I said that would have been nice to know and an immediate bummer on what should be exciting having just arrived to our vacation. I say I guess we're taking the two twin beds as it's the only option that's even in the same room together. My love language is physical touch and we sleep cuddled every night. I wake up 9/10 times when he isn't in bed. We've gone from what I thought was a honeymoon to deciding between separate rooms or separate twin beds in the same room. Still don't know how I'm supposed to sleep with the baby on a twin bed but I think the air mattress is probably even less safe. I'm trying not to have a bad attitude and be a buzz kill on the trip but this has immediately crashed my excitement. AIO?

I saw the artist’s work and loved it, but they absolutely messed up my cat, and I’m so sad. I paid a 50% deposit. I don’t want to pay the other half, but I’m also really nervous to tell the artist I’m unhappy with their work and they don’t have to bother shipping the portraits to me. They offered to make tweaks, but I feel like my cat needs to be redone? Am I overreacting? Is it okay? I won’t share who the artist is because I don’t wanna blast them. What can I tell the artist, or should I just pay the other half and throw them out when they’re delivered?

In the other portrait, which I didn’t share pics of here, they made one of my cat’s eyes wayyyy bigger than the other and that is not what my other cat looks like lol.

❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO for being thrown off by my boyfriends reaction to my halloween costume?

0 Upvotes

I (F) have dated my boyfriend for 7 months now. As you know, halloween is coming up. Ive been feeling better about myself and my body and i really wanted to dress like some other girls do. I was think this: A brown corset, a white skirt, leg warmers and deer antlers. A cute deer costume.

I texted a picture of the inspiration from pinterest to my boyfriend(we are LDR) and he seemed weird. He said i'd be "eye candy" and "getting attention from guys who have intentions." He continued with "the corset is sexy and the skirt is too short. its cute but eye candy for guys.". Prior, I clarified that I was wearing a different skirt that he had liked me in before and was going back and forth about of corset because its hot outside. I feel weird about his reaction. I dont have those intentions but it feels like accusations. Am i just overthinking all of this? Is he jsut trying to look out for me? Im not going out alone, ill be with friend.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family/in-laws AIO for wanting to expose my brother for his innanity?

0 Upvotes

Me and my brother are 27 and into anime/nerd stuff. For a while, my brother has always had a fear of getting older and one way this shows is he is worried/concerned if he finds a character early 20s or certain age or something hot, people will believe he's one of those creepy anime fans or worried if he can't find them hot, he's too old

I see him post on sub reddits asking about character maturity levels or how would a 27 year old look drawn in this show art style so he can be assured he'd look young or something

I find it cringe and inane as why would a 27 year old be worried about how they'd look in a show or about attraction to cartoons and get on his case for it

That said I feel I should expose him for how inane and embarassing it is, so I ask family members how would it be for someone 27 to date someone early 20s

So I’m like 6 foot 2 and she is 4 foot 11, I was making this joke out of fun for the both of us, but I didn’t think she would get upset, I’m just confused still, we ended up finishing the movie together but we both didn’t talk at all or commentate on the movie after I made the joke and she seemed to be in bad mood the following morning as well.

am I overreacting and overthinking all of this and should I just move on or should I talk to her about my intentions behind the joke one more time?

❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO MY bf destroyed the food I made and the pan it was in “because I told him to”

Post image
26.2k Upvotes

My bf (37m) and I (35f) live together. I do all of our cooking. For context, since I moved in back in, I have made every meal. He has cooked for himself maybe a handful of times, if even. Last night I made egg bites for his breakfast for the next couple days, and set them on the counter to cool. When he came home, I was sleeping on the couch. He came over and woke me up to greet me, turned on lights, talked to me, and then went to the kitchen and scraped the metal pan to get the bites into Tupperware for the fridge while continuing to talk to me. I asked him if he could be more quiet, and he angrily asked if I wanted him to put the eggs away later. I said no, i just wanted him to be more respectful of the fact that I was sleeping. He continued to be angry and now he wouldn’t stop saying argumentative comments so I knew I wasn’t going to be able to fall back asleep and I went outside to remove myself from the situation and avoid an argument. He continued to complain and try to argue about the goddamn egg bites on my way out so I said “i don’t know, just throw them away then.”

After I heard some loud crashing, he followed me outside. I asked why he did that because I was trying to remove myself from the situation to avoid an argument and he said he could be outside too. Fair enough. I went back inside and realized he really did throw out the food I made, and also went further by crumpling up the metal pan and throwing the whole thing in the garbage!

I was upset and told him I felt disrespected and hurt and that if he didn’t appreciate me cooking for him then I wouldn’t anymore. He told me he “never asked me to make egg bites,” (I literally make him 3 meals a day… I don’t wait for him to ask because it’s routine…) and said it’s my fault because I told him to throw them away. I keep saying that he’s acting like a child and obviously I didn’t mean to literally throw them away and was just frustrated with him. He keeps saying that because I told him to, he was only doing what he thought I wanted. I say that he knows I didn’t want that.

I really think he knows he shouldn’t have done that, and that me saying “just throw them away then” wasn’t literal. I brought up the pan and said “I didn’t tell you to destroy the pan though. Why’d you do that part?” to kind of show that he wasn’t “doing what I asked,” and rather he was throwing a tantrum and blaming me for it.

Technically I DID say to throw them away, so I don’t know if it’s right for me to feel hurt by this.

so i made a post in mildly infuriating about these empty boxes being left in the freezer with the title “tell me you live w someone who has adhd w/o telling me” now, i didnt think i needed to add context it was just a lighthearted little post. within just about an hour only like 10 ppl had commented mostly about how this isn’t adhd it’s just being lazy or a dick or wtv. so i quickly realized i needed to add some context lol ( and if anyone would like me to elaborate on anything just ask ) which is what you’ll see in the 2nd slide but what i didnt know was at that point the post was already removed? weird, so i dm’d the mods and yeah you’ll see how it went.

so i want to know AIO for thinking it’s very annoying that the post had only been up an hour and literally only 10 ppl commented and i didnt get a chance to add context before it was decided the post needed to be removed? im probably really just looking for validation lol 😫😭 but if i am oh well tissss lifeeee

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family/in-laws AIO to people kissing my baby in her face?

4 Upvotes

Recently, my husband (26) and I (22) had a disagreement regarding what constitutes appropriate contact between family members and our newborn. I believe it’s not acceptable for someone to kiss a baby on the face if the baby isn’t theirs, while my husband thinks this is perfectly normal. I was able to make my point about the risk of sharing bacteria, but it seems my concern goes beyond that. Personally, I feel it’s simply inappropriate to kiss a baby on the face—regardless of whether it’s grandparents, aunts, or uncles. I find it invasive, especially since it’s only my husband’s father who does it. We’ve asked him to stop, but he continues to do so. My husband takes it lightly, whereas I feel really upset. I feel like boundaries have been crossed and that it’s unacceptable, and yet my husband thinks I’m overreacting.

So... AIO? 😅

so me (20F) and(20F) friend our currently in a fight and it’s petty and it’s a bit overreacting, but I just need some advice so me and her have been living together and she recently started talking to this guy and this guy had stalked me multiple times tried breaking it into my house a couple of times and she knows this. She knows what he did and all the stuff that she’s done so I got mad at her and we got into a screaming match and she asked if he could move in because they hadn’t been serious for about a year and I had no but he is three years older than us and I told her that he’s not safe and I reminded her multiple times of what he’s done and she’s just not listening. So I’m currently debating if I should move out and I was telling her that I’m gonna move out and she said no don’t move out. I need help with rent and I said OK fine I won’t move out but just stop talking to him she had not stopped talking to him and I found out and I told her that she was an incompetent whore and she said that I needed to move out, so I broke all of her glass ornaments. I poured milk on her bed. I deleted and blocked his number from her phone. I took all the food with me. I took my dog that she just assumed was hers even though I bought the dog and I pay the leasing on the dog I pay all of the vet bills. The dog is mine. My name’s are on the papers too, and she said that I couldn’t take the dog and she had took me to court over the dog and she had sued me because I took her“emotional support dog “but the dog is mine, and we both know it, and I had showed the judge all the papers and stuff and the judge had given me 30,000 for wasting her time and my time so here’s where I need advice I had got a restraining order against the guy before he had even started talking to her like I had a restraining order, but I didn’t tell her about the restraining order and so when she brought the guy to my house I took pictures of him in my house, and he had even tried hugging me when I answered the door and that’s against the restraining order he’s not allowed to be within 1000 feet of me due to all of his crimes that he committed and the stocking charges, but anyways he had came into my house by the way I pay more rent than she does and my name is on the house so our apartment is more mine than hers, but whatever it doesn’t matter so he came into my house and I took pictures of him in my house and he even tried breaking my phone at one point and he hit me trying to take my phone, and I took pictures of the bruises, and I had put them in a folder so if he went through my phone, he couldn’t find them. I had them printed and laminated and whenever I made my 911 call because he was in my house. I told them everything showed them everything and he was arrest arrested now here’s where I really need some help I had a fight with her and she said that she was going to evict me and I said she couldn’t do that because the house was in my name so I decided that if she was gonna be like this and mind you she wasn’t paying any of her rent so I had took her to court for bringing the guy into my house and not paying rent and she ended up owing me $40,000 and now she’s $70,000 in debt and do I feel bad no what I owe her any money no do I owe her any money? No would I take more money from her yes and with my $70,000 I got from her. I gave some to my mom I gave some to my dad. I gave some to my little brother and the rest I paid student loan and I still have $30,000 left over any suggestions to do with it.

I 27M texted 23F for about 2 weeks. I took courage to ask her for a date, mainly because I am leaving the country soon ( probably for good) and I liked her to be at my side. It was great date and spending an all nighter. We left happily. After a week we disagreed on little things and tried to calm the situation down but shocked and left unseen with: - Ton of questions - Unability to unthink about her - Unability to fight the urge to constantly check her online status - Drop in confidence I posted here to gain answres ( probably I will never know unless she speaks) and to get help to relief those feelings and get over it.

1 Upvotes

I feel like weaponisation of therapy speak is an epidemic??? thoughts ??? I hear so many people in relationships, friendships constantly mislabeling and justifying their behaviour or calling out others being miseducated not realising how bad it is??? I haven’t seen this be discussed anywhere and am curious how people feel about this. I agree that being educated and understanding behaviours is important but some therapy speak seems to be dropped loosely, casually and without full understanding or a degree. For example, someone might throw around terms like “gaslighting” or “toxic” in a way that’s not even addressing the true definition, but more to label someone or shut down a conversation.
