50 Wild “Am I Overreacting?” Stories That Had Folks In This Online Group Talking

The second sexiest guy I ever dated was 5' 2", 1 inch taller than I was. We weighed the same. But he was well built and had a great a*s (and always smelled really good). I liked that it wasn't awkward when we kissed. (I dated a guy who was 6' 4" and we couldn't really kiss standing up. On the other hand, he would let me sit on his foot, wrap myself around his leg, then walk me around the room like I was 6 years old.)

A good friend tells you when you're being dumb. A bad friend lets you keep making the same mistake over and over.

Friends sometimes have to scold you for your own sake especially if you keep making the same mistakes over and over again. As long as it's done out of love it's perfectly fine for a friend to react like this imho.

There's a saying which I love: if a person betrays you once, it's their fault; if they betray you a second time, it's yours.

Yup. It's a sign of insecurity and immaturity.

Staying friends or at least friendly with their ex shows they were both healthy persons in a healthy relationship. It should be the norm.

Ex's came to my mother's funeral. My now husband just thought it was nice they wanted to pay their respects to her because they'd known her since they were kids.

My ex from my longest relationship is now my best friend. We dated for five years when we were teenagers/early 20s. Now, despite the fact that its been twenty years since we dated, and despite the fact that I have since realized that I am queer and have no interest in dating or sleeping with men, there have been a few women that he has dated who remain jealous and suspicious of me. He has said that it's honestly kind of great to have a built-in red flag detector like that.

I just chatted with a guy I broke up with in 2001. After the break-up, I was married and then divorced to a different guy. There never was and never will be anything between me and the old boyfriend who I still talk to now and again. He also remained friends with my son and was a good influence in his life. My ex-husband got mad the first year we were dating because the old boyfriend got my son a birthday present. The old boyfriend and I should have only been friends from the get-go. There wasn't much romance or attraction there. We just liked each other as people.

My ex’s “new” girlfriend of like a year and a half won’t allow him to see me. We broke up two years ago after just over a decade together (yeah, he got a girlfriend after six freaking months). Neither of us wants anything from the other, and I suggested even that the three of us could go out for a meal. No dice. It’s really frustrating.

Yes, it is beneficial to the environment to leave the leaves, lol.

I know!!! Why doesn’t she just buy the rake??

Leaves on lawns is a no no. Likely to k**l the grass underneath. Reas any info on lawn care in the autumn.

This screams borderline INSANITY.

Easier to just leave his pos a r s e

I think it's totally fine to bring a non-serious date to a wedding if you're just a guest. It's been done for ages. But if you're in the wedding party, that's a whole different ball game. Then I agree with you and OP.

And he’ll no doubt appear in wedding photos. And years later there will be photos of OP and a random man she dated once previously in her sister’s wedding album.

For a second date? The dude is showing a neediness red flag early.

On what grounds? He isn’t her boyfriend, he’s just a dude she barely started dating! If she doesn’t take him to weddings when he is her husband of 20 years, then yeah, maybe then it’ll mean that she is excluding him. This level of entitlement and controlling tendencies is alarming.
