So my (m35) kid's (13f) coach (60+m) sends messages on a group chat with her and her mother. I think it's weird and I expressed concern multiple times to my ex to no avail. Well yesterday he texted this on the group chat and I about lost my mind. Called him and screamed about how sick and inappropriate it was. He tried to say it was a joke and he was trying to "show her the color" He's said creepy things in the past but this in the most bold he's gotten. I'm about to report him to the director of the club and make something happen to prevent this perv from being around a bunch of little girls. I just want to make sure I'm not overreacting cause I feel like I want to k*ll him for trying to take advantage of my kif kid.

Mother-in-law is the most passive aggressive woman I've ever met in my entire life! I truly didn't know what this tournament meant until I met her! I know this wasn't the only gift I got for Christmas… But when I opened it, I didn't honestly know how to react

So I(26M) have been dating my girlfriend(29F) for about a year and she’s always had a best friend whom she’s know for years. I’ve never been bothered by him but she mentioned how his humour is sexual and that’s just who he is(never met him), I asked for an example and she gave an example and I asked to see the chat not really expecting anything too crazy , idk it just seems to me like he wants her and calls her princess etc. (The first two pictures)

The last two pictures are a guy she works with and he got her like a ring to wear and then was calling her a ‘cowgirl’? I got pissed about it but she reckons it’s just the way they talk and that he was referring to her music taste etc but I think he was insinuating more.

AIO about these conversations?

Husband slept in because he "woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to bed til pretty late." I stayed up until 3:30 AM prepping for "Christmas magic" ie. cookies and milk, carrots for reindeer, note from Santa, Santa's footprints, wrap presents I had to hide for a while, clean up the mess. This morning when the kids woke up around 7:30 AM, I had tried to wake up my husband by saying "hey! The kids are up. Come down so we can watch them open presents!" Didn't budge. That's where my resentment began to build.

So I did all the presents with the kids and filmed everything on my own. Tried so hard to not snap or take it out on the kids, but my anger was slowly building. By the time husband woke up around 11 am and came downstairs, I was already done with breakfast, feeding kids, kitchen clean up, clean up present-opening-mess, etc. There were periods of time I would snap and raise my voice at the kids. My patience and fuse have been short, mainly in part of my first trimester fatigue, hunger (iykyk), and moodiness. My husband, apparently tired from my yelling, snaps at me and tells me to go upstairs because he doesn't want to hear my yelling anymore.

"Wtf is wrong with you?" he said.

"YOU!" I snapped back. "You're what's wrong! You haven't done shit!".

Then the words that came out of his mouth caused me to cry for the next 3 hours and periodically throughout the day.

"All you did was wrap presents."

All I did was wrap presents.

At that moment, it felt like one of the most hurtful things anyone has ever said to me. I don't know if it's my pregnancy hormones, trying so hard to make Christmas special for my kids (4 and 2 years old), or it's all of the pent up resentment overflowing (or in this case erupting) not just from today, but most days. Maybe it's the feeling of him not pulling his weight. It's the first year where our kids are understanding the magic of Christmas. I never had this as a child and neither did my husband. AIO for still being upset that he said "all you did was wrap presents"?

for context, we’ve been together for almost a year and we decided to do our family holidays separately so we wouldn’t have to go to 3 christmases in one day and it works for us. we had plans tonight for me to pick him up and get drinks with a mutual friend. at dinner, i texted asking if he’d gotten me anything. i already bought his gifts a while ago and gave one to him on christmas eve and was going to give him his nice one tonight before drinks. as you can tell, i’m pretty disappointed and he just made me feel like i’m crazy for being upset. i just feel like this is icky and manipulative i guess. i feel like this is break up worthy. what do y’all think?

hi all. i posted earlier about a complicated situationship where i felt all that was wanted from me was sex.

I wasn’t expecting my post to blow up like it did, and i definitely wasn’t expecting so many people rushing to the comments to support me.

I’m so, so thankful for the poeple that reached out to offer a hand. I was in a really dark place and knowing that poeple had my back really helped pull me out of it all.

I was being groomed. and i can see that now, even if it’s a little hard to admit. being autistic means that picking up on clues can be impossible, so your words meant everything.

thank you so much💗💗💗

I just can’t with people and their petty demands or am I being petty for wanting to ghost this person?

My (f28) bf (m31) and I have been together for 3 years. I've spent a lot of time with his family, have been more than generous on the occasional birthday or holiday. I thought we had a good relationship overall but I guess I was wrong.

They invited me over for Christmas, our second Christmas spent together as a "family". Not a single family member gave me a present or even a card. I spent months planning and wrapping the perfect gift for each member. Spent hours shopping and wrapping. I sat and watched them all open gifts and even stockings for each other, even their family dog had presents (and a stocking). This is the second time this has happened.

It's not that I was expecting anything, I didn't need an expensive gift. That being said they are pretty well off, it's not a financial issue. But not even a card? After three years I was expecting at least a card. It breaks my heart because they are the only family I have since my own family live very far away. I cried when I got home.

EDIT: Thank you everyone for responding. It definitely made me feel less crazy. I've tried to respond to as many as I could. So some questions to answer;

No, I don't know their financial situation;

However, all the siblings got cheques for $350. So I really don't think a card was too much of an expectation.

Yes I'm a grown adult and not entitled to a present;

This was an all adult Christmas gathering, there were no children. I was not expecting someone else to create a meaningful Christmas experience for me. It's the basic etiquette that was the main issue for me.

Am I breaking up with my bf? Do I blame him?;

No I'm not breaking up with my boyfriend because Christmas didn't go the way I was expecting it to. Overall, if my bf was to blame it would be for a miscommunication and awkward situation he didn't handle the best. We've talked it out and are working out a solution that works for both of us. He tried his best to make the day special for me, got me some lovely gifts, and there was still lots of time tonight to make up for it.

Do I think my in laws are terrible people?;

I don't think they are bad people, I think what happened was unfortunate. Whether I was intentionally left out or forgotten about doesn't really matter. I know now that our relationship is a lot more distant and that's something we can mend in time. Going forward I won't be spending Christmas with them again for a long time and will prioritize spending time with my friends and making the long trip to see family.

Thank you for everyone's response and kind words. I appreciate you all and Happy Holidays!

Edit #2: Wow! This blew up so fast! So a little update for everyone. I ended up showing my (ex)bf this post and he seemed more upset that I posted on Reddit than his family excluding me. I had some time to think about it and I decided it really wasn't okay what happened. After talking to his parents, my (ex)bf found out that his parents are more on the traditional side and in fact will never see me as family unless we get married. Honestly? I wasn't really happy with this answer. I told him I didn't want to go back next Christmas and we had a big blow out. He decided that even if it hurt me, he will always side with his family over me. That hurt a lot but was a big eye opener for me. We broke up and I will be moving out by next month. Thank you for everyone's responses this will be my last update. Happy Holidays :)

for context, i’ve (21F) been talking on and off with this man (30M) for a few years now. we’re currently in an awkward friendship stage where sexual stuff has happened in the past, but i want more of an emotional connection too. We’ve been talking consistently for a little while but he seems to sexualise everything i bring up. (in the first pic i was just talking about a jigsaw puzzle when he brings up my school uniform which he has previously said he wants me to wear for him) i shouldn’t have said ‘HEY’ like i did but honestly i’m so tired of him making things sexual that don’t have to be.

i was getting tired of the constant sexual refrences so i decided to just straight up ask if he just wanted sex from me. this is the conversation.

I was using her phone a couple of nights ago to send myself something through WhatsApp, and I came across the messages between her and a guy she used to be friends with, out of interest I clicked on it

As you can see, at the top of the messages is the date sent “25th april” we got together on the 1st April

I confronted her about this and she said it’s not what it looks like, and he thought they were dating, even though she never said they were, and apparently never wanted to date him.

They stopped being ‘friends’ about 4 months later after something happened at a party they were both out

Some things to note:

She told me he was being creepy and blocked him at the start of our relationship

Apparently she didn’t tell me, Becuase she didn’t know what I would say about it

She lied to me about blocking him “for my own good”

Apparently she was scared of what he would say if she tried to tell him they weren’t together

He also messaged her “happy birthday “ in June, so this was going on for a while

AIO or is this not right? It’s been playing in my head for the past couple of days and I can’t trust her now

I (36M) have been with my wife (42F) for over 6 years. I always thought of her as an amazing person who was fanatical about the truth. The inciting incident which first made me suspicious would take paragraphs to explain and this story will be long so I’ll skip over that part and start with me going through her messages with a particular guy. This is complicated by the fact that this guy and my wife are both Brazilian so I have to translate the messages.

I go to the night that I am suspicious of and there is a text the next day where this guy says that it made him ‘tesao’ (translates to horny) when he thought of their connection in the car. She replies that she enjoyed that night very much but it shouldn’t have happened because she is married. He replied that he didn’t want to date or get married, he just wanted to go out with her sometimes. My wife says that tesao can also mean excited and all these texts were in regards to a business they were considering starting together but it doesn’t read that way to me and no service lists excited as a possible translation

I keep on reading their texts and he is consistently calling her ‘my beautiful girl’ and other pet names. Then they made plans to go to the pool together. (At the same time, my wife had told me that she wanted to buy a sexier bikini for the pool because she was going with her friends on Saturday. I said I wanted to go too and she looked awkward for a second and then said okay but when the time came to go, she claimed her friends had cancelled). After I accidentally thwarted that plan, they went to a party together.

Part 2

While she continues to swear that nothing happened, I don’t believe her and we split up to live in different states. But eventually we started talking again and I made the 12 hour drive to her and we spent a few weeks together. During this time, she repeats her denials and says that she hasn’t even been with anyone during our 6 month separation and we get back together. I have to go back to my house but we make plans for me to come back in 2 weeks.

I drive back to her a week earlier than expected and I didn't say anything to surprise her. I arrive at 2 am and there is an unknown car in the driveway and her bedroom light is on. I don’t have the key so I call her a few times but she doesn’t answer. So I ring the doorbell which gets the dogs to barking. She takes a while longer to answer the door and then looks freaked out when she sees me in the doorway. She doesn’t open the door and instead gets her daughter who also looks worried. It is minutes before she finally lets me in and she says that we have to take the dogs out asap. Obviously I am very suspicious at this point and I don’t see why they need to be taken out at 2 am but I figure either the car will still be there after or it will mysteriously disappear and then I’ll have my answer. 

As we take the dogs out, the daughter comes and stands on the porch and watches us until we go out of sight. But I double back and catch a glimpse of a guy hustling to the car with nothing in his hands. My wife claims that they got a new roommate from one of her WhatsApp groups but he wasn’t working out and he had just moved out. I tell her if that's true, she will have messages from this guy discussing the living arrangement. She says that she deleted their texts and that her daughter has been the one talking to him. So I asked to see those texts and she says okay but then later claims the daughter has them but won’t share them because she doesn’t want to get involved.

I started divorce proceedings after this latest incident even though I still love her and I would like very much for her to be telling the truth. She still swears up and down that I am being paranoid and that she’s never cheated on me. Then she got very upset and called me a disgusting person for starting to date a few months after this latest incident. I assume this is gaslighting but I just happened to come across this space the same day so... Does anyone think there is any chance at all that she is telling the truth?

First time posting here, I want to know if I'm overreacting. For context, I'm an alcoholic and have been sober for 8 years. My MIL had some problems over it in the past, but get along pretty well these days. Anyway, we were all opening our stockings on Christmas morning, and I pull a shot glass out of mine. It took a second to realize that's really what it was. It had little measuring lines on it to use in the kitchen. She said, "oh isn't it fun?" To me that was super insulting and disrespectful. Am I overreacting or was this REALLY rude?

My girlfriend and I have been working on our relationship both through conversations and couples counseling.

One thing we agree on is that we both need physical touch and explicit verbal reconciliation after our fights. The physical touch part was actually her idea, but I quickly realized I need it to. I have complained in our therapy sessions that I am always the one who has to initiate this process, though, and that I resent it. She always makes me come crawling to her to end the fight.

We have only been living together for 3 months. I bought the house and she moved in, even though I told her I wasn’t ready to live together. She gave me an ultimatum: she was moving in or we would break up, so I agreed to live together. Given that dynamic, reconciliation has become even more important—I feel suffocated in my own house without it.

We got into a fight on Tuesday, just before she went to pick up her brother from the airport, and since then she has simply refused to reconcile. She texted me a half apology, but she has been physically avoidant for 3 days now. Even after I asked her if we could please do the thing we’d agree to do after we fight—which is basically a hug, a kiss and an apology/reaffirmation with eye contact—she said no. During this time her and her brother have been with my family, enjoying dinner cruises and presents and being treated with love, but my girlfriend has basically given me the cold shoulder the whole time.

After 3 days of her stonewalling me about a fucking hug I kinda just snapped. I told her that I felt uncomfortable, used, disrespected, and alienated by her behavior, that im tired of always being the bigger person, and that she needed to get out of my house if she wasn’t going to take that one small step to make up with me. I was very mean, and I’m sure this effectively ended our relationship given how objectively awful it was to tell her and her brother to get out of my house. I feel silly for doing this, but I also just feel so used and tired. I feel like I’m ALWAYS the one who has to give in. Is that just part of being in a relationship or am I overreacting?

My (21F) mom has always been more fond of her sons even if they made things harder for her. But this time, she expects me to coddle her youngest (19M) him and help him with everything, just because we live together. This time, she made a group chat with just us two, and it was about college that he’s definitely not trying very much to get into, and I finally snapped and said what I felt needed to be said. Am I wrong? Mind you I’m in school, so you’re talking to someone that knows vs someone that doesn’t care to go. Blue is mom, orange is brother. And pink is the school he’s supposed to be going to but isn’t.

I (27F) got married two years ago in a beautiful lace wedding dress that I absolutely love. My cousin “Tina” (25F) recently got engaged and has been planning her wedding. We’re not super close, but we see each other at family events and get along fine.

A few weeks ago, Tina asked if I still had my wedding dress. I said yes, thinking she just wanted to see it for inspiration. But then she told me that she “fell in love with it” and wanted to wear it for her wedding.

I was caught off guard and politely told her no. My dress holds a lot of sentimental value to me, and I’d like to save it as a keepsake. She was upset but dropped the topic. Or so I thought.

Fast forward to this week, and Tina brought it up again—this time with backup. My aunt (her mom) called me, saying I was being selfish for “hoarding a dress I’ll never wear again.” She even offered to pay for the alterations to make it fit Tina. I told her no, explaining that the dress means a lot to me.

Now Tina is telling everyone that I’m being petty and ruining her dream wedding because she can’t afford a new dress that’s as nice as mine. My mom thinks I should just let her borrow it to keep the peace, but I feel like it’s crossing a boundary.

The family group chat is blowing up, and people are taking sides. Some think I’m selfish, while others think Tina is entitled. My husband says it’s my dress, so it’s my decision, but now I’m second-guessing myself.

So, AOI for refusing to let her have my dress

ignore the UK Slang..

Edit: this rs has been extremely rocky with lots of cheating from him and DV.

It’s been a few hour since this, and I’ve still not messaged her, Idk what to do anymore like should I try discussing it with her again or just brush it off and pretend it didn’t happen?

I don’t usually get angry but I felt like this was too much? Or maybe I should’ve handled it better, Idk if I’m just making up excuses honestly.

New relationship in the very early stages, I feel like my speaking up was valid?

i’m a trans guy. and my dads girlfriend and i have frequently talked about how i don’t like feminine stuff. for some reason that’s one of the ONLY things we talk about , really.

and then for my christmas gifts, she bought me all feminine things (like pink purses, pink headphones, and pink jewelry)

which made me uncomfortable, confused, and sad so i pulled her aside and respectfully told her i really appreciate that she wanted to give me the gifts, but they make me uncomfortable and i think she should return SOME of them. i kept some things, like a camera, ipad case, and stickers.

i thought she’d be excited to get her money back, and i was going to be free of the discomfort from the gifts i thought i was doing the right thing, and respecting myself, but now she’s sad and told my dad and now they’re both upset with me my dad said he’s disappointed in me but i just feel so misunderstood and misjudged because they don’t know how i felt when opening those gifts + we literally talk about how i hate feminine stuff all the time. my dad said i overreacted and should’ve just accepted the gifts and said thank you because she was trying to be nice am i tripping ?? am i overreacting or doing too much ? should i just have accepted it ?

Me and my bf went over to my mother's for Christmas to make cookies and enjoy dinner and he was acting infantile the whole time. While I was trying to cut charcuterie he was fucking around and cut my arm with a knife.

Later while we were just chilling at the table I look over and realize that my bf has downed an entire tube of m&Ms that were meant for decorating in just a few moments. So I go to pick up the second tube and he grabs it too and will not give it back. I asked him nicely 5 times to let me have it, and he refuses. So we are fighting over this fucking tube of m&ms and I'm trying to get him to show some fucking restraint at my mother's house and he lets go suddenly so I fall and hit my arm. Hurts like the dickens but luckily I didn't break anything of my mom's. I didn't say anything to him then but I told him today he needs to be more careful and he thinks I'm out of line for that.

Edit I feel like I should add that I have seen this guy struggle to restrict his food portions. I don't mind until he eats food that I buy specifically for me. Last month he ate all of my GF cookies in one sitting. We had other cookies too he just wanted my GF ones I guess.

My husband and I have been married for 17 years but it has not been without problems. We both have childhood trauma and we are in couples therapy for it.

Our three year old fell and smacked his head on a concrete floor at a family gathering. I immediately picked him up and held him. I was trying to assess him as I am a nurse and wanting to check for concussion, broken nose or hematoma forming. He reached for his dad (my husband) and I passed him over to him but I was asking my son where it hurt and trying to make sure he was ok. My husband told me to go away and I said no I want to make sure my child is ok.

We fought about it later and he says "everybody was crowding around and he wanted to be alone" I said I'm not just anybody.. I'm his mom and I was also using my medical knowledge to make sure my kid is ok! You have no right to make me walk away from my bleeding child (he bit his lip a little bit). He says I'm just mad that our son reached for him which I'm not. Why would I be? That's his Dad. But my husband is competitive like that.

For the record, I was not panicking. But he just didnt like that I was asking my son where it hurt. I said I felt hurt that he lumped me in as part of "the crowd" and not his child's mother. I think I should be somewhat special to my husband as his wife and his kids mom but he just treats me like some rando off the street. He says "having kids is not rocket science." Like I never said I was special for giving birth? Just that he should respect and care about his wife and the mother of his children.

I 29 (F) have a kid with 33(M) we are not together and I have tried my best at co parenting with a narcissist. I have had enough and want nothing absolutely nothing to do with him. I try my best to hold him accountable but he is such so immature he wont budge. He has other kids with other females I found out about after I gave birth who he does take look out for more. He picks and favors them more than our daughter and I have noticed if I entertain his BS, it is the only time he comes around and lies about missing her and doing better but I am disgusted by him I can’t even be in the same room with him after everything he put me through there is no way I could ever go back to that, and he calls me bitter and all sorts of names because I refuse to entertain his bs and keep the conversation strictly about the care and needs of our child. What I am leading up to is his birthday is near Christmas and I didnt wish him a happy birthday, why? Because we don’t talk like that, he hasn’t asked about my daughter or seen her in 3 months so why would I go out of my way to wish him a happy birthday… so Christmas I write him and he said no Christmas for my 1 year old because I didnt wish him a happy birthday.. he is 33 she is 1!!!! I told him it is not our obligation to chase him and look out for him we are not together, so i Am I wrong? This is the first screenshot and yes I get very mad when people play about my daughter especially this piece of shit. He tries to act on SM he is this great father (maybe to his other kids) but not to mine …

Here’s a little back story, I 29(f) and my Husband let’s call him Jack,27(m) have been together for 4 years, married 5 months, we went to his aunts house for Christmas let’s call her Doris, she has 4 kids, 31(m), 27(f), 22(m) & 20(m) and 3 grandchildren with 1 bonus grand child, We get there and there is TONS of presents under tree, at-least 50+ presents. Mind you we got 5 presents per child and added them to the pile, so that’s an extra 20 presents, she told us to get there early, so we get there around 10am, no one is there, just me, my husband, FIL and daughter and the ones that I’ve in her house, her, her husband, the 22 year old, his girlfriend and my husbands grandpa. No one shows up at 2:30-3pm, mind you I have helped with every birthday party, Christmas, thanksgiving or even get togethers every year since we have been together.

So everyone gets there and bringing presents in boxes full of stuff, we are about 100+ presents if not more at this point, everyone starts separating their presents up by names or whatever, and everyone has lots of presents, stockings, and everything you can imagine. I get handed a bag 1 bag with a mixing bowl in it.

My husband gets a coat, a sweatshirt and something else I can’t remember and then a meat smasher and a chicken shredder that said “the Hamilton’s” mind you my husband grills a ALOT.

So little bit more to the story, I’m a photographer, I didn’t bring my camera because why should I it’s Christmas! We have phones for a reason, Doris says “why didn’t you bring your camera to take pictures” because I clearly forgot it at home and so when we start opening presents she says “better start taking pictures” like everyone else doesn’t have phones.

So anyways fast forward, everyone has at-least 10-15 presents each, besides me (1) husband (5) and my daughter (3), so I’m supposed to take pictures of all of these people opening their presents while my husband and daughter just sit back and wait for Everyone to be done. Mind you 22(m) and his girlfriend have been together for 3 months and she got a lot of presents as well.

I instantly feel very excluded from everything because why leave someone out like that? We have bent over backwards for everyone in this family, we have put concrete down for Doris’s pool, set up her pool while her kids did nothing.

So I decided to go outside and started crying because I feel like I am not part of the family at all. It’s not that I got just 1 present, but because they had a whole family Christmas each family member got each other something whether it was the aunt, or her kids, they all exchanged gifts and I got one from one person, so excluding me almost completely.

So my husband comes out and instantly told me I was selfish because I was crying about not receiving more gifts, so I tried to explain to him A B & C why I was upset and I wanted to go home, He said it wasn’t about receiving gifts and about the kids only. And pretty much told me that if I left that there would be problems.

So why did everyone else get gifts then for everyone there? 🥴

So anyways, I leave, because why do I need to stay there if I’m upset?

He ignores me for 2 hours after I had texted him, he called me after I ask if he’s just going to ignore me and starts in on me and said that he shouldn’t have to defend me to his family because I didn’t get enough presents and that I should have stayed there if I felt like I was being ignored so this wouldn’t be an issue and then I told him I wouldn’t be going to any more Christmas or family events because I constantly feel excluded (not just this one)

He instantly asks why I don’t want to attend his family events in return I tell him because I don’t want to and that’s my final answer.

He instantly gets mad and says that he’s done and continued to yell into the phone to the point i just hang up.

Am I overreacting?

AIO

UPRATE***husband got home last night, completely blew up on me for having to explain to his aunt and family why I left, telling me I’m inconsiderate, selfish and self centered that I should have sucked it up because he’s been excluded from the family for the last 10 years, but they are still his family so he’s obligated to go 🤔 he felt that he shouldn’t have had to explain it to her said “she felt really bad” mind you I never got any text from her to apologizing or anything. My daughter got home and expressed that our son got more gifts than her, I explained to her that not everyone got the same amount of gifts either and that’s okay that I only got 1 gift, she looked appalled, and she said she left one of the gifts there because it was for a 3 year old (she’s going to be 9) that one was from the 20yr that said he was going to buy her an onion, 😳 and mind you all the grandchildren are 5 and under.

Also I was asked by my husbands grandpa what I would like for Christmas, I asked for hey dudes which is a 30$ pair of shoes instead got a mixing bowl.

I informed my husband that if this is how it would be then I was not going to go anymore because I should not feel the way that I do and I have my valid reasons as to why.

I also informed him that if they wanted to do a separate Christmas to where we only do Christmas gifts for the children and they have other gifts for their family it needs to be known of that instead of doing it all together and making people feel left out.

Mind you we have been at each other’s house many times since before Christmas, (we do thanksgiving at our house) and everyone else was asked specifically by the aunt what they wanted for Christmas.

And I don’t mind doing photos as I did them for the 5 year olds birthday party without anyone asking. But wanted to step away obviously because Christmas is different.

ANOTHER thing I forgot to mention, which I don’t feel is an obligation on the aunt by any means but the way she went about it was completely wrong, 😑 my daughter thinks of these people as family, (her bio dad isn’t in the picture and we are in the process of termination) and she was talking to the grandchild about spending the night, and my daughter asked if she could spend the night too and she looked at her disgusted and said uh no you are not spending the night. Which I reiterated to my daughter that it’s okay she’s going to go home with mom and dad to spend the rest of Christmas with us.

I (20M) don't post on here hardly ever but wanted to know everyone's opinion on my (20F) live-in girlfriend of almost 2 years' conversations she has with a "longtime online friend". He's a year younger than her and they talk literally all the time, I've told her it makes me uncomfortable some of the things he says to her and she tells me I don't want her to have friends. I work nights and if I come home during my shift to grab something or for whatever reason she'll always be on the phone with him and it makes me feel awful.

We have an open phone type thing between us neither of us care about looking at each other's phones and I've confronted her before about them saying "I love you" to each other (that's just how friends talk), about him wanting to talk to her only when she's vulnerable about our relationship, etc. I took these screenshots of her texts with her permission to show her what I meant and she still says she "doesn't see it" because "he doesn't like me like that, he's just a friend". Am I overreacting to constantly ignoring me and talking to him and this being what he says to her?

It’s classic Christmas family drama time! I was sat around the table with my brother, my husband, my mother and stepdad. Brother had probably had slightly too much to drink although I didn’t really realise at the time. People are telling jokes back and forth, stepdad and brother start getting slightly more offensive with their topic. When I ask them to cool it off, I’m told they’re enjoying my reaction too much.

Stepdad makes a joke about sexual assault on women, and this topic is extremely triggering for me. My brother then says “there should be more r**e jokes”. And that’s where I lose my temper. I tell them they’re disgusting and should be ashamed of themselves. I also tell my brother that as he has a daughter he shouldn’t be making such jokes about that. I leave upset. Later I get some messages from brother. He’s obviously annoyed and now I’m wondering if I should have just let it slide. I didn’t reply I’ve blocked him because he’s been drinking and I don’t want to escalate anything. I feel a bit gaslit like it’s being flipped on me for pointing out he has a young daughter.

Am I too sensitive??
