Crocs Boys

I wouldn’t wear my crocs in public but they are great when you are cooking or for slipping on when putting the table scraps in the worm farm. The joke is that for a fair amount of history red/pink were considered boys colours and blue was for girls. Do some Googling. However, if you really want to blow your mind go look at the courtly clothes from the Renaissance.

Superbird25 said: The yard looks terrible. Didn’t they buy a ride on mower (I remember them boasting about it - an expensive one too!). Mow your lawns if you have any sense of pride of your home !! They certainly did and in another fine parenting moment one of the boys was driving it either barefoot or in a pair of crocs/thongs

We have been talking about the absolute universe, but every single villain in this series was on some demon time with designs to match. This version of the Joker was an acrobatic monkey and the changes to his character to make him more animalistic and flexible were so well done The Penguin is actually a martial arts master that can keep up with batman in combat, and he is accompanied by two freaky scissor hand ladies, all this while preserving his aesthetic and even boosting the actual "penguin" motif with his hair and nose Bane getting a unique color palate with the reds and blacks with orange accents is so well done, and it's not shown here, but the shift from small to large bane is super fun There are two Clay faces in this series, I personally find Ethan's design as the better of the two, since it dose such a good job at projecting the tragedy and ununiform nature of getting turned into a pile of sludge, complete with the mental instability and piercing green eyes out of those empty eye crevices. I am all here for this Riddler! He is so much more of a showman with this slender and agile design, and he has the unique, kind of emo look. MY BOY RAGDOLL, I know this is kind of a deep cut, but the way that this funny slender freak is designed and animated makes him so fun to watch. The suit is a potato sack skin suit, his eyes are Xed out like a voodoo doll, and his mouth is free to be as articulate as his spine It is not just the fact that Killer Croc looks like...that...they also gave him a Kagin accent by RON PERLMEN, and he says things like "Gotham will be our oyster" and "You are beginn' to stick in my craw" Killer Moth being an actual mutated moth was a fun switch up and it worked out pretty well to preserve the identity while also having some fun (also the human design is a reference to the classic look) The silhouetted head and red eyes, covered by a literal ice burg on Mr. Freeze was an amazing way to adapt upon the iconic BTAS look, and this is about a good time to say that every one of these characters silhouettes are so defined that it makes them incredibly recognizable including this one This is just a great Firefly design, the mask and jet pack being a particular highlight. this series dose an incredible job of treading the balance between campy, comic reminiscing looks, and cool serious enemies Spellbinder, while not as complex as the Beyond version, still has a good design with the cloth and robes flowing nicely as he floats, and that eye liner being on point (for all three eyes) Cat woman's design is simple but amazing, it makes her look like a cat and a legit thief at the same time, the little accents of red and purple around the hands and ears does so much to move the design. and once again, the cat ears and face covering so is amazing for the silhouette. and the cat-eye glasses are great. Man Bat, simple, fun, freaky, I especially like the veined parts around his ears and wing membranes. Ivy is one of the less experimental character designs in this series, still love the look and the rose shaped hair D.A.V.E is just superior, I am always a sucker for megalomaniacal A.I and dave is up there with his striking robotic body, covered by a evil lab coat and the three eyed visor long face, he is so good, too bad he is literally around for one episode. The changes made to Scarface to make him look more like a casual thug boss more than an mobster is cool, and I think the angular look of the show works so well on him to make it look carved and cruel, while the more round shapes on the Ventriloquist (and the blue to red contrast) sets a clear difference in personalities For the first real take at Harley outside of TASU, this one has all the lovely personality, completed with a giant hat and and an award winning smile The Game Master's design does a great job at showing off his big ego, matched with the makeshift parts of his costume and the fact that he needs to be wheeled around showing off both danger and how pathetic of a person he is. All and all, nothing but bangers. It is a departure from some of the archetypal looks for batman's rouges gallery, but the combination of cleaver design details, uniqueness, powerful silhouettes, and a animation makes almost all of them amazing variants upon some pretty well established characters (especially considering that this was the show to proceed BTAS, which in of itself is an achievement that none of these guys feel like downgrades, just different) submitted by /u/Equivalent-Fun-6019 to r/TopCharacterDesigns [link] [comments]

I am not The OOP, OOP is u/alien-the-cashew Weird Kid I’m babysitting put glass in my shoe Originally posted to r/creepy Thanks to u/soayherder for suggesting this BoRU Original Post Dec 25, 2025 Went collect my shoes from the garage and noticed shards in one shoe. He’s 9. RELEVANT COMMENTS Turbulant-Matter501 wow. I hope it goes without saying that you should tell his parents about that. it goes way beyond childish antics. OOP This gave me a massive pit in my stomach, I ate cereal this kid made for me too. It feels like Genuine pure evil. ~ tanhausergates Future serial killer is the correct nomenclature. z64_dan Future? Might want to look into current missing persons cases nearby. Pic of glass shards in the shoe Update Dec 27, 2025 Hey all! I’m here to provide an update on the kid I babysat, who I believe put glass in my shoe and also add more context. The post I made has gained a lot more attention than I bargained for, so many comments (some funny some serious) and even some messages from redditors concerned for the kid and myself, and I really appreciate everyone replying to the post, but I couldn’t keep up. A couple days ago I found a post on our Facebook community group, by a mother, looking for a babysitter for about 7 hours, for 80 bucks. I know this family pretty well and they are definitely respected in the community, they live in one of those HOA communities. I sent the mother a message via Facebook messenger, and organised the sitting for the 9 year old boy. I’m a 24 year old guy who works 25 hours a week at an Irish pub, just to throw that out there, I did need some extra cash after all. When I first arrived everything was fine, parents both left and paid me the 80 bucks off the bat, took my shoes off and put them in the entrance to the garage, inside, and wore crocs instead. Everything was pretty chill and the kid said he wanted tuna sandwiches for dinner because that was his current favourite thing, so I made them later on, the entire time the kid appeared happy and quite curious and asked about my job, he just lingered with me all night. He would say “by the way I don’t have a bed time” about 10 times. He would occasionally do this weird hissing thing, like a snake. When I asked he just said it’s a code he and his school friends have, when I asked what it meant he said it’s just a code, whatever that means. The majority of the night we watched polar express, elf, and he wanted to put Mr Beast on the tv in the main room too. At around 7 pm i was in the kitchen and noticed Christmas wrapping paper blowing outside so I went out and picked it up, due to the community being how it was, the last thing I’d want is trash blowing in their yard, HOA’s can be real harsh on standards. When I came back inside the kid had made himself a bowl of cereal and also said surprise, the weird thing about this was when he hid the bowl behind his back and just stared at me before saying surprise. It was just an odd vibe. One of the few things i was instructed to do by the parents was check the house alarm situated next to the front door, at about 9pm. I did this and then received a text from the mother saying they’ll be home a little earlier, so I was quite happy about that. When i returned to the living room the kid was sat down watching mr beast on YouTube and I said your parents will be home pretty soon, and he said “ohhh that’s fine” and give me this weird side-eye like he was trying to see my expression or something while I sat down. I realised I had my crocs on my feet and had left my sneakers on the entrance way to the garage, so I got up and went to collect them. Went I bent down to get them I noticed a shimmering light inside and tipped the shoe backwards to see small shards of glass inside one of the shoes. My stomach sank straight away. It was genuine fear, I knew it was him straight away, and I started thinking about the cereal he made too. It was just awful. I didn’t confront him. I carefully carried the glass in my hand and put it in some paper and tossed it in the kitchen trash. I didn’t say anything at the time to the parents and everything was normal. I said bye to the kid and he said “see you soon”. Ha yeah definitely not. This morning I called the mother on Facebook messenger and explained everything, I hate confrontation and would rather glide through life avoiding things, but I called and explained the glass situation, she seemed very apologetic, genuinely. And said dad will deal with it, she almost took comfort in my call and said there was glass shards on his bedroom floor too, and when he was questioned, he admitted to breaking a shot glass and cried. She also said how he stole an empty wine bottle from the bin on Christmas Eve and was playing with it like a sword. She said she’s concerned about his behaviour and will also contact his school too, as she suspects something might be “going on” Do I think the kid is obsessed with glass? Yeah. Is he gonna be a serial killer? Not sure. I personally think he did intend to harm me, but maybe didn’t understand the gravity and of it. I did explain I wouldn’t babysit him again because of this, she understood. I rambled on abit and advised that I’m not a therapist but maybe he needs to see one and she did agree. I’m glad we were on the same wavelength. I am still quite shocked, imagine I did put my foot in there and sliced myself? Imagine someone actually going out their way to injure you. I do think maybe he just hid the glass there after he broke it to avoid it, but it’s just odd. I’m also wondering when this even occurred and how he managed to do it while he was with me most of the time. Sorry for the long post, if there’s any questions please feel free to ask, so many people have asked for context and an update. Thanks all. Also I already spent most the 80 bucks on cigarettes and modelo.

I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/lily-gee Originally posted to r/AITAH + r/twohottakes AITA for “ruining my cousin’s life” by existing, being pregnant, and allegedly stealing her baby name? Editor’s note: made small edits for ease of readability Trigger Warnings: teenage pregnancy, emotional abuse and manipulation, bullying, miscarriage, alcoholism, obsessive behavior, past childhood trauma, falsifying statements Mood Spoilers: deranged but ends positive Original Post: June 8, 2025 So, I (18F) have always had weird drama with my cousin Casey (23F). For some reason she’s always had this bizarre obsession with being in competition with me, while loving my older sister (24F) like she’s God’s favorite. No idea why, I gave up trying to figure it out years ago. For context, she lived with us from middle school up to now because of family issues, and even then she treated me like a punching bag. Called me a worthless POS, ugly, and tried to make me feel like nothing. And unfortunately, it worked for a while. I hid under baggy clothes, avoided people, and had zero confidence. Fast forward to junior high, I started finding myself. Made some friends, got a lil’ style, learned makeup from my sister, and got into my 90s baggy clothes but cute era. Casey hated every second of it. Claimed I was “copying her” (she wore baggy hoodies and sweats with crocs EVERYDAY). It got worse when I got a boyfriend he was 16, I was 15, and she deadass tried to steal him by telling him her body was better than mine and he would love seeing her up under her clothes 💀. My mom had to intervene multiple times while my dad kept telling me to “let it go, she’s been through a lot.” Spoiler alert: she’s been “through a lot” her entire life according to everyone. I graduated high school early at 16 with honors and college credits. She hated it and called me a dumb prick who wouldn’t get far… she didn’t even come to my graduation meanwhile she dropped out of college twice. Projection? I think yes. What made it worse was I found out I was pregnant in November, and Casey immediately started telling family I didn’t know who the father was, that it could be multiple men, and even told my dad the father was over 31. Mind you, I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years at this point. When no one believed her messy ass, she tried to take the attention off of me and got pregnant herself. (she admitted to this) But sadly she miscarried in February. We were all there for her. I even wore baggy clothes so she wouldn’t feel triggered seeing my bump. Still, every time I had a craving or talked about my pregnancy, she made it about her. Would literally cry at the dinner table because “it should’ve been her.” Dramatic, right? Then when I announced my baby’s name, she went and got a custom blanket made with the same name, her due date, and the day she miscarried, claiming I “stole” it. When the name was my MOMS mother name who she has no relation to, she’s my dad niece. (I kept the name also.) Today’s episode: We’re planning my baby shower, talking about decorations and food, when she loudly scoffs from the living room “no one cares.” We ignore her. We said the baby’s name again here she go: “A name you stole from me.” I rolled my eyes cause why’re you still on this. I’m showing my mom a pic of a custom car seat cover I ordered, she storms in with her own baby stuff she bought before the miscarriage, mumbling “hopefully I don’t steal her ideas.” Like… I have most of her things already I don’t want your ideas ? 😂 once again I ignored her and my mom told her she loved them. Once she sees me not caring she then went full-on explode mode. Accuses me of copying her, being jealous, needing to “heal” before I bring a baby into this world, and randomly brings up the hormonal hygiene struggles I’ve been having lately. (That she overheard me talking about like wtf?) We left to the backyard where my sister was and this woman FOLLOWED US OUT SCREAMING. Saying we treat her worse than her own parents did (big lie, my parents have babied her for years while she treated me like dirt). My dad eventually came upstairs from the basement because she was so loud, asked what was going on, and for once, instead of coddling her… he went off. He straight up said: “Casey, FOR GOD SAKE I love you but what is your problem? You pick fights constantly, you play victim, and you’re not in middle school anymore. If you want to stay here, you need to get your act together I can’t keep doing this with you or you picking with a teenager who has done nothing to you." She was shell shocked. Stormed to her room, packed a bag, and left. Later, she texted me this. “You’ve won. I can’t fight you anymore. You’ve always ruined my life even when I was with my parents. You were always the favorite and I always hated you. YOU RUIN EVERYTHING FOR ME.” And now… I feel kinda bad. I didn’t respond and no one’s heard from her since. EDIT / UPDATE: Hey, you guys I’m honestly overwhelmed by all the responses. I didn’t expect this to blow up like it did, but thank you so much for the kindness, advice, and support. I wanted to answer some of the questions I’ve been seeing a lot in the comments: 1️⃣ Was she the youngest girl before me? Yes, she was the last girl born for 5 years before I came along. Our family is mostly boys with only a few girls here and there, so I do think that may have played a part in how she felt about me. 2️⃣ About me being a teen mom I turn 19 in a couple weeks. I’ve been independent since I was able to work at 15, and I even have my own small business that’s slowly growing. I still live with my parents for now, but I handle my own life for the most part. 3️⃣ Why didn’t my parents get her into therapy? My mom has tried several times to convince my dad to get us all into therapy, but he’s one of those people who doesn’t “believe” in it. He’s always told us to pray or write it down instead, which honestly did help me at times growing up but she definitely needed professional help and still does. I’ve asked him recently to consider it, and he just rolled his eyes and ignored me. 4️⃣ My parents’ ages My mom is 46 and my dad is 57. They’ve been married since 1998 so about 26 years now. 5️⃣ What happened with her parents? Her dad was physically abusive to both her and her mom. Her mom helped her run away and sent her to live with us, while she stayed behind. We live on the East Coast, and they were all the way in Oakland, CA. As for contact no, we haven’t spoken to them since they lost custody of her. 6️⃣ Why was I so nice to her? Because I genuinely looked up to her. My older sister was never really around much, and I thought she and I could be close like sisters. I really wanted that. 7️⃣ Was there favoritism? Not really, no. I feel like we were treated fairly for the most part. If anything, she got a little more attention and was doted on more, probably because of what she’d been through. I only got extra toys when I was little because I was 4 years old and too small to do the stuff they did. 8️⃣ Where is she now? No one has heard from her since she left. She’s blocked all of us, and as far as we know, she doesn’t have a job or anywhere stable to go which honestly makes me nervous because it’s likely she’ll try to come back eventually. So we’re keeping our eyes open and being cautious.   Editor's note: OOP has made the same original post onto another subreddit, I am adding relevant comments from the sub for more context Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Ummm I would strongly advise you to go LC or NC with this loony bin. She needs professional help and her jealousy sounds strong and has been years in the making. I would not trust her alone with the baby let alone you, I would not be surprised if she got violent in my opinion. Stay far away from her OP OOP: it’s honestly been YEARS of this weird obsession, and I kept hoping she’d grow out of it, but at this point I’m realizing peace is priceless. And trust she will not be anywhere near my baby. I wish her the best… just far, far away from me. Commenter 2: If what you’ve said is true you have nothing to feel bad for, she’s done it to herself. She clearly has some serious issues that she needs to deal with but she sounds like one of those people who will always be the victim. Everything will always be someone’s else’s fault. Just stay away from her and don’t rise to it OOP: Thank you so much and you’re right. It’s one of those things where deep down I know it’s not my fault, but the guilt creeps in sometimes anyway. I’ve always been the people pleaser in the family maybe that’s why but you nailed it she’s always played the victim, and nothing was ever her responsibility. I’m learning to finally let go of feeling responsible for someone else’s chaos. Definitely keeping my distance Commenter 3: She views your life as the life she should have had and is insanely jealous of you. Stop pandering to her. Her past is neither your fault or problem. She is doing this to herself and needs to grow the hell up. This kind of thinking should be done by early teens at the very latest. Every attempt from her needs to be met with a thanks for the space I clearly live rent free in your head, isn't it time you started focusing on your own life? OOP: Omg thank you! you’re so right. I’ve been walking on eggshells around her for so long trying to “keep the peace” when in reality, she’s just been throwing a tantrum at life and trying to drag me into it. I’ve thought being nice would help but it only made it worse.. OOP on her father considering about therapy for the family due to Casey's situation and behaviors OOP: Thank you And yeah, I agree it would’ve saved everyone a lot of stress if someone had stepped in years ago. He is the type of person that doesn’t believe in therapy so that wasn’t on the list.. + Yeah… it’s a really sad part of all this. We have all needed therapy at one point but he’s very old-school “tough it out, deal with it” when it comes to mental health, and it’s done more damage than he realizes. I don’t excuse how she treated me but I can also acknowledge she’s probably been drowning for years with no lifeline. It’s just unfortunate she chose to lash out at me instead of accepting help, and now things are too broken to fix. It’s a mess all around. Commenter 4: NTA go NC with her for a few years. You do not need the stress while pregnant or with a new baby. All she adds to your life is stress, lies and abuse; why have her in your life? OOP: Aww thank you and honestly, you’re right. It was mostly me trying to keep the peace for my parents’ sake, but at this point I realize it’s not worth sacrificing my own peace and sanity (especially now with a little one on the way). She’s been a walking ball of stress and drama for years, and it’s exhausting. Definitely leaning toward NC for my own well-being. Can OOP move out and get an apartment? OOP: Thank you so much for this, seriously. I’ve actually been trying to move out for a while now. I’ve been on a waiting list for an apartment and just waiting for them to call with an opening. My boyfriend went off to the Navy earlier this year, so that’s not an option right now, but his parents are amazing, and they’ve already said I could stay with them if I needed to. I’m just hoping something comes through soon, because you’re right! my baby deserves peace and so do I. I really appreciate your kind words and support, it means a lot 💕. Commenter 4: Why was your dad condoning your 20-year-old cousin flirting with a 16-year-old? OOP: At the time, I think my dad was just so focused on “keeping the peace” and not setting her off that he overlooked stuff he never should’ve ignored, and I ended up being the one stuck dealing with it. Now that I’m older and looking back, it honestly pisses me off. Like, protecting someone’s feelings shouldn’t come at the expense of someone else’s safety or comfort especially your own kid’s. And flirting with a literal teenager while she was 20 was gross and predatory, period. No excuse.   Update #1: June 15, 2025 (one week later) UPDATE: AITA for “ruining my cousin’s life” by existing, being pregnant, and allegedly stealing her baby name? For anyone new, quick recap: my cousin Casey bullied me most of my life, constantly compared us, and when I got pregnant she accused me of stealing the baby name she “had planned” (which was actually my grandma’s name). Things blew up, she stormed out, and no one heard from her until now. On to the update: Casey ended up coming back about two days later drunk and higher than ever. It was around 1AM. I was asleep, but apparently my parents were still up watching a movie when she came in. My dad, who’s a recovering alcoholic and has been sober since I was 14, was furious and disappointed. They tried to sit her down to talk, but she just cried and said she was tired and wanted to lay down. So they let her go upstairs. A little while later, my parents stepped outside to the back patio for a smoke break (yes, both of them smoke occasionally). And of course, while they were outside and out of earshot, Casey came to my room. I woke up to her trying to open my door thankfully it was locked. She started whisper shouting for me to open it, calling me a “POS” and saying we needed to talk. When I told her to go away and that we could talk in the morning, she started banging on my door, kicking it, and was saying that I would never be prettier than her and that I was the ugly black sheep in the family. (This again? GET HELP) I told her to go to bed again, but she wasn’t done. She threatened me, saying if she saw me tonight it wouldn’t be good for me. At that point, I started recording and sent a video to my dad. He came rushing back inside and went off. He told her she wasn’t staying another night in his house, and she needed to start packing asap, that coming home drunk and bullying me again was unacceptable, and she needed to figure out where she was going in the morning. She broke down crying again, claiming we were “all she had” and she just wanted to talk. My dad didn’t budge this time. He told her the only person she needed to talk to was a therapist and until she got professional help, she wasn’t welcome here. She was shocked, because like I’ve said before my dad’s always been old school and kind of coddled her. But not this time. My mom came inside mid-conversation, sat her down, and apparently had a heart-to-heart about how unacceptable it was for her to live in our home while treating me like garbage. I was watching the whole thing go down on the security cameras from my phone because yes, I’m that petty. But then my sister Monica starts texting me… taking Casey’s side. It goes something like this. Monica: “Amiya for once will you stop making it so hard with her? She only wanted to talk.” Me: “It’s 1 o’clock in the morning. I’m barely able to get out of bed, what do you expect me to do? I don’t want to talk” Monica: “I’m tired of you playing the victim like you’re so innocent in this. Get over yourself. You’re exhausting and it’s getting harder to deal with.” Me: “What have I done, Monica? I’ve cooked for y’all, cleaned up after y’all, always tried to be nice, and neither of you do anything for me. If anything, you’re exhausting. You’re 24, you’ve got a degree you won’t even use it. Be real. Stop texting me Goodnight.” I cried. I always looked up to both of them, even after everything. But this was my breaking point. So here’s where we’re at now: Casey left the next morning to go stay with a friend. She’s been texting and calling my parents, begging them to reconsider. But they’re standing firm: if she wants to be part of this family, she needs therapy first no exceptions. As for Monica, we haven’t spoken since those texts. My mom noticed and asked what was going on, but I told her to ask her daughter because I had nothing to say. I’ve officially uninvited both Monica and Casey from my baby shower. Neither of them will be involved with my baby, and my mom said it’s my decision. So no Aunt Monica. No Cousin Casey. My dad’s standing firm too. No more excuses, no more drama. And me? I’m focusing on my pregnancy, my business, and reclaiming my peace. This is supposed to be a happy time for me, and I’m done letting them take that away. I deserve to be excited about this baby without guilt. Thank you to everyone who’s been so kind, offered advice, and reminded me I don’t have to tolerate this treatment. It means more than you know. If anything else happens, I’ll keep y’all updated. ❤️. Relevant Comments Commenter 1: NTA. Your cousin is very immature and has no self-control. You are wise to keep your child away from people who cannot control themselves. Nobody owns a name and there is no law to keep her from using it just because you did. OOP: Thank you that’s exactly how I feel. It’s not about the name, it’s about her behavior. I won’t let my child grow up around people who act like that and think it’s acceptable. Everyone has the right to choose a name they love, and no one gets to gatekeep it. Mind you though it’s my Maternal Grandmother name and she has no relation to her so how did I steal it? Commenter 2: Glad your father woke up to what Casey has been doing. As for your sister, just stay away from her. Put her on read. Don't answer calls. Keep your baby away from these toxic girls. OOP: Thank you I’m also relieved my dad finally saw the truth about Casey. And you’re right about my sister, too. I’m done giving her chances. From now on, it’s silence. My baby deserves to grow up surrounded by love, not toxic drama. Commenter 3: It appears it’s not just Casey. I think OP’s sister and Casey have held a years long campaign of jealousy, hate, resentment for OP. It’s just Casey took it to the next level. I wouldn’t trust either of them. They sound capable of harming OP and her baby. OOP: Honestly, I think you’re right. Looking back, there were so many little things that didn’t feel right, and now it all makes sense. It wasn’t just Casey but my sister’s been part of it too. I don’t trust either of them anymore, and they won’t have access to me or my baby. I’m choosing peace and safety for us from here on out. OOP should show her text messages conversations with her sister to her parents OOP: Thank you! I already showed my parents the texts, and my dad told my sister that if she wants to take Casey’s side, she can take the offer to move out with her. It feels good to finally have their support and see some boundaries being set. + I’ve already shown the texts to my mom, and they’re starting to see the reality of what’s been happening. It’s painful, but it’s clear my sister needs that wakeup call. OOP on where her baby's father is at this time OOP: He joined the military earlier this year, so he’s been away. Commenter 5: NTA. Your cousin is a psychopath. She didn't want to talk to you, because no conversation starts by calling someone trash. Ask Monica to come here on reddit to defend Casey because I don't see victimism on her part in being pregnant and wanting to honor her grandmother. Stealing the baby's name??? What it is? When Casey has her baby, name him after her grandmother. Did she want to reserve this right in her name? Your cousin is ridiculous. Are you an orphan??? Are you the daughter of a brooder? Who does she think she is to live in your parents' house and threaten you and call you trash. And what's the problem with Monica? Tell us here. OOP: Thank you for understanding. My baby’s name is “Amoy”, honoring my Jamaican grandmother’s legacy and culture, which is very important to me. We never knew if her baby would be a boy or girl, so it’s not like I ‘stole’ the name it’s deeply personal and connected to my maternal grandmother. Casey is my dad’s niece and has no relation to my grandmother, so the whole name issue feels unfair and hurtful. As for Monica, I’m not really sure why she’s acting this way maybe because my dad stopped coddling Casey. Whatever it is, I’m done trying to be part of their drama. I just want peace and to protect my family. OOP responds to a downvoted comment regarding not being independent if OOP is still living at home with her parents OOP: Look I’ve never claimed my life is perfect or that I’ve got it all figured out. I’ve been upfront about this pregnancy being unplanned, and yes, I’m still living at home. But what I have done is worked since I was 15, graduate early with honors,, and started a growing business that’s covering my college tuition and helping me save while their tuition was paid in full by my parents. I’m actively working toward a better future for me. I’ve said multiple times that I’m in the process of trying to move out my mom actually doesn’t want me to yet, but I’m still making moves, all while preparing for labor and everything else that comes with it. I’m only 18 fixing to be 19 in a couple weeks, and I just got started building my credit so I can be on my own. It’s easy to sit behind a screen and judge someone else’s life without knowing the full story, but I’m doing the best I can with what I have, and frankly, I’m proud of that. While you’re right that I’m not fully independent yet, I’m on my way and no amount of condescension is going to dim that. Wishing you a good day. OOP on if her sister, Monica, and Casey are closer with each other than Monica with OOP OOP: Yeah, my sister and Casey have been tight for years, which makes it even harder. And no, I haven’t spoken to my sister since called me names, and was talking trash behind my back. Honestly, it’s like my sister is more on Casey’s side than mine, which is really disappointing.   Update #2: November 7, 2025 (nearly five months later) UPDATE 2: AITA for “ruining my cousin’s life” by existing, being pregnant, and allegedly stealing her baby name? Hey Reddit, it’s been a minute! I wanted to give y’all one last update because so much has happened since my last post and honestly… life has done a full 180. Quick recap for anyone new: My cousin Casey accused me of stealing her baby name (which was actually our grandma’s name 🙄). Things blew up, and my sister Monica took her side. Casey got kicked out after showing up drunk and banging on my door at 1AM, and Monica told me I was “playing the victim.” I ended up uninviting both of them from my baby shower and cutting contact. Now for the good stuff. 😌 \⸻ The Baby Shower & The Fallout My baby shower went beautifully full of love, laughter, and zero drama (thankfully). Everyone who came was genuinely happy for me. My mom, dad, and a few close friends really showed up and made it feel special. Monica and Casey didn’t come (obviously). But here’s the kicker they moved out together shortly after everything went down. Apparently, they thought living together would be a “fresh start” and said they didn’t want to live with a “moody teenage mom.” LMAOOOOOO. Let’s just say reality hit fast. Neither of them kept a stable job, bills started piling up, and now they’re struggling to stay above water. From what I hear, it’s been a lot of blaming each other and crying to whoever will listen. I’m not gloating, but karma really has a way of humbling people. \⸻ Life Now ❤️ My sweet baby girl was born August 25th at 11:01 AM, weighing 8 lbs 9 oz. She’s almost 3 months old now the happiest, chunkiest little mama and truly the light of my life. I can’t believe how fast she’s growing. I’ve since moved out and got my own place with my boyfriend (now FIANCÉ!!!) 💍 He proposed at the baby shower, and it still doesn’t feel real sometimes. He’s been my rock through all of this. I also started nursing school and I’m thriving! Balancing school, motherhood, and my growing business has been a lot, but it’s worth every second. My business is doing better than ever literally growing by the hour. My mom’s loving having the house to herself, and I’m just thankful to finally sleep with both eyes closed no more worrying about someone trying to kick down my door at 1AM. ⸻ Mentally I won’t lie and say everything’s perfect. I still have moments where I replay the drama or feel hurt by how it all ended. But overall, I’m okay. I’m healing, focusing on my baby, and learning to be proud of how far I’ve come. Life feels calm now. Peaceful, even. And that’s all I ever wanted. Thank you to everyone who followed my story and reminded me I wasn’t crazy or dramatic for setting boundaries. I finally feel safe, loved, and happy. 💖. Moral of the story: peace over drama, always.   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

I live deep in the heart of suburbia in an upper middle class area. We had a nice semi-private yard until the neighbors directly behind us sold their home and moved. The new people, who have two teen aged sons and have been there for four years now, cut down all the trees and shrubs on their side of the fence which transformed my nice private yard into a semi public space. We weren’t happy but there was nothing we could do about it since it was their yard. We did plant shrubs on our side but it’s still not as covered as it was before they moved in. Now the shrubs at least partially obstruct their view of my yard. They put a basketball set up on their patio and their two extremely uncoordinated sons are constantly outside playing sports and tossing bricks against the backboard. They also love kicking soccer balls, tossing tennis balls and throwing crocs around. Again, their yard so, as much as I don’t like it, I keep my mouth shut. I loved playing sports as a boy and I wasn’t the greatest athlete but I was always respectful of my neighbors and kept my balls in my own yard and, when I didn’t, was nice and apologetic about it. The two kids behind me aren’t like that at all. Once they moved in, their balls, and crocs, were regularly in my yard as well as their next door neighbors yards. At first, they’d either ring my bell to ask for them or, if I saw them, I’d just toss them back over the fence. But how much is too much? It was happening weekly. Then they’d stop coming over to ask and their balls would just sit in my yard until I tossed them over. Last summer, I just collected them near my side of the fence behind my shed and let them sit there until late autumn until I finally tossed them back. This year, a soccer ball was in my yard. Soccer balls aren’t inexpensive. We let it sit there for a good two weeks. When our landscaper came to do the lawn maintenance, we told them they could have the ball. We haven’t had a ball in our yard since. EDIT: I’m not the crotchety old man. If they came and asked for the balls, I’d happily give them back but they don’t. They sort of forget that they came over the fence. Personally, I’d prefer they come get them. Yes, I’ve spoken to the parents but they don’t care either. I’m also not complaining that they’re using their own yard. Cutting down the trees was their decision and, although it does affect me, I didn’t say a word because it’s not my property and they can do what they want in their yard. After being nice and throwing them back for 4 years, how much longer should I keep doing it?It’s happened multiple times in a day and it’s very annoying. The kids are teenagers and are just kicking the balls and throwing them all over sometimes. They should know better. Now they can play with other balls. submitted by /u/sumdumguy12001 to r/pettyrevenge [link] [comments]

So, I (18F) have always had weird drama with my cousin Casey (23F). For some reason she’s always had this bizarre obsession with being in competition with me, while loving my older sister (24F) like she’s God’s favorite. No idea why, I gave up trying to figure it out years ago. For context, she lived with us from middle school up to now because of family issues, and even then she treated me like a punching bag. Called me a worthless POS, ugly, and tried to make me feel like nothing. And unfortunately, it worked for a while. I hid under baggy clothes, avoided people, and had zero confidence. Fast forward to junior high, I started finding myself. Made some friends, got a lil’ style, learned makeup from my sister, and got into my 90s baggy clothes but cute era. Casey hated every second of it. Claimed I was “copying her” (she wore baggy hoodies and sweats with crocs EVERYDAY). It got worse when I got a boyfriend he was 16, I was 15, and she deadass tried to steal him by telling him her body was better than mine and he would love seeing her up under her clothes 💀. My mom had to intervene multiple times while my dad kept telling me to “let it go, she’s been through a lot.” Spoiler alert: she’s been “through a lot” her entire life according to everyone. I graduated high school early at 16 with honors and college credits. She hated it and called me a dumb prick who wouldn’t get far… she didn’t even come to my graduation meanwhile she dropped out of college twice. Projection? I think yes. What made it worse was I found out I was pregnant in November, and Casey immediately started telling family I didn’t know who the father was, that it could be multiple men, and even told my dad the father was over 31. Mind you, I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years at this point. When no one believed her messy ass, she tried to take the attention off of me and got pregnant herself. ( she admitted to this) But sadly she miscarried in February. We were all there for her. I even wore baggy clothes so she wouldn’t feel triggered seeing my bump. Still, every time I had a craving or talked about my pregnancy, she made it about her. Would literally cry at the dinner table because “it should’ve been her.” Dramatic, right? Then when I announced my baby’s name, she went and got a custom blanket made with the same name, her due date, and the day she miscarried, claiming I “stole” it. When the name was my MOMS mother name who she has no relation to, she’s my dad niece. (I kept the name also.) Today’s episode: We’re planning my baby shower, talking about decorations and food, when she loudly scoffs from the living room “no one cares.” We ignore her. We said the baby’s name again here she go: “A name you stole from me.” I rolled my eyes cause why’re you still on this. I’m showing my mom a pic of a custom car seat cover I ordered, she storms in with her own baby stuff she bought before the miscarriage, mumbling “hopefully I don’t steal her ideas.” Like… I have most of her things already I don’t want your ideas ? 😂 once again I ignored her and my mom told her she loved them. Once she sees me not caring she then went full-on explode mode. Accuses me of copying her, being jealous, needing to “heal” before I bring a baby into this world, and randomly brings up the hormonal hygiene struggles I’ve been having lately. (That she over heard me talking about like wtf?) We left to the backyard where my sister was and this woman FOLLOWED US OUT SCREAMING. Saying we treat her worse than her own parents did (big lie, my parents have babied her for years while she treated me like dirt). My dad eventually came upstairs from the basement because she was so loud, asked what was going on, and for once, instead of coddling her… he went off. He straight up said: “Casey, FOR GOD SAKE I love you but what is your problem? You pick fights constantly, you play victim, and you’re not in middle school anymore. If you want to stay here, you need to get your act together I can’t keep doing this with you or you picking with a teenager who has done nothing to you. She was shell shocked. Stormed to her room, packed a bag, and left. Later, she texted me this. “You’ve won. I can’t fight you anymore. You’ve always ruined my life even when I was with my parents. You were always the favorite and I always hated you. YOU RUIN EVERYTHING FOR ME.” And now… I feel kinda bad. I didn’t respond and no one’s heard from her since. EDIT / UPDATE: Hey you guys I’m honestly overwhelmed by all the responses. I didn’t expect this to blow up like it did, but thank you so much for the kindness, advice, and support. I wanted to answer some of the questions I’ve been seeing a lot in the comments: 1️⃣ Was she the youngest girl before me? Yes, she was the last girl born for 5 years before I came along. Our family is mostly boys with only a few girls here and there, so I do think that may have played a part in how she felt about me. 2️⃣ About me being a teen mom I turn 19 in a couple weeks. I’ve been independent since I was able to work at 15, and I even have my own small business that’s slowly growing. I still live with my parents for now, but I handle my own life for the most part. 3️⃣ Why didn’t my parents get her into therapy? My mom has tried several times to convince my dad to get us all into therapy, but he’s one of those people who doesn’t “believe” in it. He’s always told us to pray or write it down instead, which honestly did help me at times growing up but she definitely needed professional help and still does. I’ve asked him recently to consider it, and he just rolled his eyes and ignored me. 4️⃣ My parents’ ages: My mom is 46 and my dad is 57. They’ve been married since 1998 so about 26 years now. 5️⃣ What happened with her parents? Her dad was physically abusive to both her and her mom. Her mom helped her run away and sent her to live with us, while she stayed behind. We live on the East Coast, and they were all the way in Oakland, CA. As for contact no, we haven’t spoken to them since they lost custody of her. 6️⃣ Why was I so nice to her? Because I genuinely looked up to her. My older sister was never really around much, and I thought she and I could be close like sisters. I really wanted that. 7️⃣ Was there favoritism? Not really, no. I feel like we were treated fairly for the most part. If anything, she got a little more attention and was doted on more, probably because of what she’d been through. I only got extra toys when I was little because I was 4 years old and too small to do the stuff they did. 8️⃣ Where is she now? No one has heard from her since she left. She’s blocked all of us, and as far as we know, she doesn’t have a job or anywhere stable to go which honestly makes me nervous because it’s likely she’ll try to come back eventually. So we’re keeping our eyes open and being cautious. submitted by /u/lily-gee to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

It's been a minute since Croc to a stroll around the neighborhood. My boy was popular. Everyone wanted to walk up to pet him including kiddos. Many mentioned how they have seen him playing in the yard appearing muscular and stout. However, he's so sweet. Everyone loves my Pretty Boy. submitted by /u/NotRightNowOkay345 to r/AmericanBully [link] [comments]

This morning I suffered 2 seizures back to back. Croc nudged my legs as they were shaking rapidly. He ran to my son after I muttered help me. He's right here by my side watching over me. At the end of the video my grandson walked in. Croc guarded my doorway. Please hug your pets today. submitted by /u/NotRightNowOkay345 to r/AmericanBully [link] [comments]

I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/wearejustroomies Originally posted to r/TrueOffMyChest I started washing and putting away my roommates favorite mug whenever she uses it. When she caught me I lied about why. Mood Spoilers: wholesome, positive, and happy! Original Post: March 3, 2025 I (30M) share an apartment with my friend (30F), I'll call her Gwen. Gwen has a lot of mugs, more than will fit in the cup cupboard all at once. So she rotates them seasonally, she loves swapping them out. I asked why and she says it's like getting new mugs every couple months. But there are two mugs in her collection that never leave the kitchen. They are rarely in the cupboard because the second they are washed she uses them again. We have a dishwasher, but it's broken. Part of our chore division is that we each take care of our own dishes. The thing is I know she doesnt like doing her dishes, its a sensory thing, but she insisted that we do our own dishes and I thought that was pretty fair. I also know that Gwen's most favorite is her Spiderman mug. She's never told me that, I can just tell because the spiderman mug gets picked before any of the others when its clean. I know this because I see it in the sink every day for her to wash before bed with her other dishes from the day. There were times that her dishes sat for a couple days before she could force herself to work through the sensory issues and get them done. It never got to the point of smelling bad, and she apologized every time for any dishes she left overnight. I truly did not mind when that happened. I understand the sensory issues and I'm proud of her for keeping on top of it as much as she was. Now comes the part I need to get off my chest, the background info was important I promise! Every time Gwen realises she can use her Spiderman mug she dances an adorable happy dance while making her tea for the morning. She doesn't seem to realise she's dancing, or doesn't realise I noticed her dancing. Either way, it's my favorite part of the day when I am getting ready for work and she dances a happy dance while getting her breakfast because she gets to use her Spiderman mug every single morning. It's seriously cheers her up and she's been a lot more positive throughout the day since I started doing this. Gwen found me washing her dishes last week. I had been doing them for a while, but this was the first time she walked in and caught me bubble-handed washing her Spiderman mug. Not gonna lie I panicked. She thanked me for helping her and then asked why I started to do her dishes too. She even asked if I was annoyed by her dishes when she left them. This was absolutely not the case, but I couldn't tell her I watch her happy dances, that's creepy right? But it's so cute and makes me so happy to see her so happy. If she knew I watched her dance she would feel self conscious and stop doing them. She's pretty shy about stuff like that. She won't sing in front of anyone, but singing is one of her favorite things to do and I've caught her singing along to her music before she realises I'm home more than she realises, I also pretend not to notice when that happens, she has a really pretty voice. So yeah, I couldn't tell her why I'm really doing her dishes or I would loose my favorite part of my day. I told her I like to get mine done every night, its something my mom always told me to do, I was already there so it wasn't a big deal to do hers too, it saves water and she does a few of the house hold chores that I hate because she likes them, so I don't mind doing this one tiny extra chore that she doesnt like. I feel like I was pretty obviously not telling the truth, but I think she believed me lol. She didnt tell me to stop and she hasn't brought it up since she caught me. So I still get to see her happy dances when she goes in the kitchen and sees her Spiderman mug ready for her to start the day. Tl:Dr I wash my roommate's favorite mug every night to give her something to look forward to in the mornings. She does a little happy dance every time she uses her mug and it makes me happy to see her that happy. Edit 1: alright, I'm headed to bed, thank you all for your comments. To clarify we are just friends, we are roommates now, but we were friends first. Anyways, it's been fun, but it's 5 am and I have an appointment at 10 am. This should be fun! Good night! Edit 2: it is now 9am. I just woke up to so many notifications, jesus h christ what happened while I was napping? Thank you everyone for your responses. I did not expect my habit, that I thought would be seen as weird or creepy, to get so much attention. I'm so glad so many of you got a smile from my post, as you can tell, I like to give people a reason to smile. I hope you all have an awesome day! Edit 3: Guys she found the fucking post. SCATTER! No for real. She commented on this post, she made an account specifically to comment. How. How. How did this happen and how did it happen so god damned fast??? I didnt think she was on reddit! Shes always on youtube watching video games or listening to stories! She used a picture of The Mugᵀᴹ as the profile pic. I'm panicking. I'll update when I'm brave enough to go out to the kitchen. I can hear her cooking. Edit 4: so I linked a picture with an update and the automod did not likey. So I have removed the link, but the update is still on my profile, for anyone interested. Relevant Comments Commenter 1: this is honestly the sweetest thing ever. The way you go out of your way just to make her mornings a little brighter is top-tier wholesome OOP: It seems like such a little thing to do, just an easy ten minutes, if that, for me and her whole day is better. Commenter 2: You're both good room-mates, I'm so proud of you both! It's not easy getting along with someone in your space. OOP: I've never been as happy at home as I am with Gwen. She's so easy to live with, and any problems we have had we have been able to talk over and resolve. It's almost too good to be true, but we do bicker a lot, I make fun of her for wearing crocs nearly 24/7 and she laughs every time she hears me swearing at my bed after I stub my toe on it. I do that at least twice a week, I am an idiot lol! Commenter 3: Well after all the awful crap that I come across on Reddit every single day, a post like this is so refreshing. OP, this is adorable. Does Gwen know you're in love with her? Because she should. OOP: I mean we say I love you to each other when we leave the apartment, but we are just friends. OOP explains why he says I love you OOP: One of our friends passed away a few years ago, it almost ended our whole group. His house was the hang out spot, he liked to do the planning for things, he kept us together by being the person we all wanted to be around. Losing him was the hardest thing ive gone through, we were like brothers. So now we all make sure to tell each other how we feel, we ask for help when we need it and we always always say love you instead of goodbye. How did OOP and Gwen meet? OOP: We met through a mutual friend group and when we realised we were both looking for a place to live and we got along really well it just made sense. So far, it's paying off.   Update #1: March 3, 2025 (same day, nine hours later) Pic of the 2 mugs And wait for it.... Update! I can't actually post an update in trueoffmychest so soon after my first post. So here's a small update. We talked a little bit over breakfast, I'm officially a fan of tea now lol. She thinks I'm an idiot and I agree, but she's not mad about the post or about me creeping on her mug inspired happy dances. All said and done, I think making that post was the best 5am decision I've ever made. Gwen says hi everyone 🩷. Relevant Comments OOP's thoughts on Gwen OOP: I was watching her work in the living room today and it kinda just made me realise why I feel different, but also completely the same. I still have the same feelings of friendship, but it's like going from a familiar room to another room that's bigger, but it has the same paintings as the first room, there's just more wall space for more paintings now. I hope that makes sense, I said it to Gwen and she asked if I was high lol!   I'll just leave this here 😏: March 3, 2025 (same day, seven hours later) Pic of a chat exchange Transcript of the chat Outrageous-Can6185: You're a dork. I made you tea for after your zoom call. OOP: What mug is it so I know how this is about to go down* Outrageous-Can6185: "Snoo smile" The pumpkin one Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Wait for real???? Are you together now?? Cuz boy, you have fallen hard!!! OOP: The pumpkin mug is her second favorite, if that tells you anything and it should. I can neither confirm nor deny what conversations were had over our tea and toast this morning 😏 For real though, we are going to do an update, we want to have more time to discuss things and figure out where we land and we will post an update once we feel more comfortable. The fallout from this post has been a lot to handle on top of trying to figure out how to share without oversharing, we are usually pretty private people. I never imagined my silly post about doing the dishes would end up changing so much, but I wouldn't change a damn thing. Commenter 2: Congrats king 👑 y’all are meant for each other (non of ur mugs better out do her favorite mug). OOP: I'm more of a water bottle guy, the mugs in the house are all hers so no risk of mug competition. Although I might order her a custom one for a special occasion some day but never with the intention to make her change what her favorite is.   Update #2: March 5, 2025 (two days later) Good morning yall! A couple days ago I made a post at 3 in the morning to confess to doing my roommates dishes because I secretly love to watch her do a happy dance when she sees her favorite mug is clean for her to use again. That post changed our lives and I'm only being a little dramatic by saying that. I gotta say thanks to everyone who upvoted and commented on my original post, I'm still shook at just how many people read about me and my mug happy best friend. The amount of people saying my post made them smile or reminded them of their own friendships or significant others has kept me smiling for days. I'm kind of into making people happy, if that wasnt already obvious, so the fact that so many people had even a moment of positivity because of me has been awesome. When I made that original post it was because I just wanted to tell someone about the mug dancing but I knew Gwen wouldn't like it if I told anyone we knew so I came to reddit to shout to the void and oh boy, did the void shout back. There were so many comments asking if I really thought we were just friends, and I'll be honest when I made that post we absolutely were just friends. We had never talked about being more than friends and I was happy being friends because we have an amazing friendship. I hadn't really thought about there being a possibility for more because dating was always something I planned to do when I had my life together or when I had more money. I never let myself consider what I was missing out on by waiting for the "right time." Her finding my post opened up the chance for Gwen and I to talk about things that we hadn't before and over breakfast that morning we found where we stood with each other and what we thought things could look like moving forward depending on what we both agreed was the best course. We didn't make any solid plans or decisions and didn't want to rush into something that would ruin the good we already had going for us, but I'll admit I was hoping for a specific outcome. There was one comment on that first post that had really caught my attention. To paraphrase, they told me to think about how I would feel if someone else got to see Gwen do her happy mug dance instead of me and it hit me so hard. I didn't mind the idea of someone else seeing her so happy. I just dont know if anyone she dates would notice what I did and decide to do what I did. What if they didn't care or didn't think it was that important or any of the other things I do to make her laugh or smile. I really didn't like the thought of not being there to make sure she has that extra reason to smile in the morning. (Gwen wants me to admit that I'm a sappy moron because I teared up writing this. Im a sensitive man in touch with my emotions and you know you love it so shut it you 😝.) To all the people saying it's possible for platonic relationships to be like ours you are absolutely correct. Our friend group is very open with physical and verbal affection and we help each other all time with big and small things. We all say I love you to each other, it's just normal communication for us as a group, not just between Gwen and I. Honestly, if I hadn't made my original post I'm not sure when or if we would have gotten to the point we are now. Maybe we would have continued as we were and that would have been just as happy of an outcome, just a different one, like a choose your own adventure with multiple options for a good resolution. Which brings me to the actual update. Gwen and I agreed we want to try dating. We aren't putting a new label on our relationship yet, but our first date is next week. I'm making it all a surprise. Gwen helped write this post and will be reading the comments so I can't give any details, but it's going to be the best first date she has ever been on, or I'll eat my candy corn patterned socks. I think she might be the one for me and I'm going to take every chance I can to make sure she thinks the same about me. Yall are the best and we love you. Do something kind for your loved ones for us and everyone can and should find something to happy dance about, it makes life more fun. Love Gwen and Peter 🩷 🕸. Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Yippieee it finally happened!! I'm so happy for you two, and kinda jealous too (I have a friend that makes me really happy but the chances of us dating is close to zero so...). I hope everything goes well for you two and please promise me and specially her that, if it doesn't work, you'll remain being friends because your relationship is really pure!! Thank you for the update!!! OOP: Yeah we're definitely being very cautious about taking this step. There will be lots of conversations and checking in to make sure we don't mess things up. Commenter 2: The only thing I can say to both of you is this: You have a charming innocence around you. Don't take it for granted. Be aware of it, treasure it, and nurture it. This doesn't have to end and it can get better. Always assume the best of each other, be kind, and don't be passive-aggressive or hold grudges. OOP: We both come from pretty dysfunctional families. Half of hers don't even talk to each other and I haven't seen my mother in years, thank the lord for small mercies lol. So when we agreed to be roommates respectful communication became our top priority. Commenter 3: This isn’t quite on topic, but OP, how did you find such an empathetic and close group of friends? I have always wanted that but have a hard time connecting with people. It sounds really wholesome. OOP: So the people who started our group were three buddies, they were friends all through middle and high school and stuck together after. Everyone else has been added to the group after being "vetted". We invite people to hang out a few times with the group, if we feel they would be a good fit we keep inviting them. It's a bit like a club, but doing it this way makes sure only people who mesh well enough with everyone are added. Gwen was already pretty much part of the group when I was invited to a movie night, that was the first time we met. I can't tell you how to meet people that youll connect with, I'm sorry. The person who invited me was someone I work with, we went for drinks after work a couple times before she asked if I wanted to go to a movie night her friends were planning and I didn't have anything better to do. You just need to be willing to talk to strangers until they aren't strangers anymore and see if they are someone you think would be a positive influence in your life. OOP gives advice on relationships OOP: The best advice I can give you is to want change. If you aren't happy, for the love of all that's holy, CHANGE. Sit down with your partner and say you aren't happy and that things need to change. Figure out if you want to change together and be a team against the issue or if things would be better off with you going your separate ways. Ending a relationship does not erase all the good times you've had with them, but it opens the door for the potential of new good times with someone else. + It will only get harder the longer you wait. You deserve peace and happiness, even if it means it's not with this person. They also deserve peace and happiness, I wonder if you approach it from that angle of saying you are unhappy and you feel like they are unhappy too and you want to team up to figure this out. The more you wait the more you build it up in your head to the point where you'll feel it's not worth trying. You are worth it, they are worth it.   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]
