Okay so this happened today. So I have two friends that for some reason really do not like the guy I’m seeing right now. (They don’t even know him as well as I do). So I was meeting up with them for lunch and they said that they death glared him and I asked where he was at and one of them goes “noooooo don’t hangout with him hangout with ussssssss”
So I went with them and we were sitting at a table (I wasn’t eating) and I got a text from him saying to come meet him in the library. So I told them that I was going to go to the bathroom because I knew that they would yell at me if I just said I was going to go meet him. Mind you, it wasn’t a lie because I actually had to pee. So anyways the bell rings and him and I are walking out of the library and they came up to us and started yelling stuff at me like- “you liar” “you ditched us” and stuff like that. Then one of them points at him and says “this is your fault” and he asked how it was his fault and she looked at me then back at him and goes, “because she’s obsessed with you”
The thing is though, they don’t get it that this is a chance for me to be in a healthy relationship after my first relationship (the guys was toxic and manipulative) and they obvi don’t give a c**p about it at all. AITA?
Do these friends know something bad about this guy? Ask them. If they know and are genuinely concerned for you they'd tell you. If and when you get this info you can make your own mind up about him. Otherwise it sounds like they're either jealous or manipulative - or both.
Broke up with someone is super manipulative and they told me to block them so I did they they got pissed for me because I blocked them and because I told them to leave my friend put of it and they kinda cussed me out. And my friend said I wasn't good in these situations but I wanted to punch her but like not really but she just doesn't see red flags and idk. Not really AITA but.
Friendship for almost 20 years now. She bought a dog while Pandemie, her first pet ever. Me and my family owned dogs, cats, a horse, bunnies, Guinea pigs etc. Since I can remember. Nobody was „brave“ enough to tell her how she fails with training her 30-35 Kilo Labrador Dalmatian hybrid and how important it is to set rules and boundaries. Nobody except of me. I tried several times to get trough to her, from friendly trying to explain basic things and their importance and offering support in every way at any time to using strong and clear words in a more drastic way. I mean it’s her first pet and nobody’s perfect, you make mistakes, you learn from them, you make it better next time. It’s a process.
Long story short; she can’t get along with criticism, thinks she’s doing everything correct, the dog gets more and more confident in its misbehaviour and you can count the months to the point when he isn’t manageable anymore. She isn’t caring about the emotional connection a dog needs to grow into a healthy adult. Dog is left alone for whole nights, no cuddling, no understanding of body language, nothing. And I feel so bad. The result I got for trying to help: she kind of erased me out of her life, we don’t talk anymore. Some friends say I’m the a*****e because it’s not my business to care about how someone is raising their dog, child whatever. Others say I’ve done what I can and they would have done the same things. My personal opinion: irrespective of the subject, when a really good homie comes to me and tells me something from the heart and makes me aware of something that he or she sees different, I take it with the correct weighting and think about it. Maybe I wouldn’t accept it, but even then I try to be thankful for my friend who worried about me. Or what?
