Am I the butthole for ghosting my girlfriend after she nearly killed both of us?
So I'm a 22 year old guy and my girlfriend is 20.
We've been together for a
little over 10 months now. We haven't had any heated arguments or fights, except for the fact
that she keeps tickling me randomly despite the fact that I've repeatedly told her never to do it
again. Anyways, recently I got my car back from having a paint job and some upgrades.
I took the day off work and I took my girlfriend on a short trip outside the city. We drove to a
lake, ate some food, and relaxed for a couple of hours until it got pretty
dark and we decided to head back home to get some sleep.
On the way home, I started talking about how happy I felt with the new paint job and out
of nowhere she starts tickling me.
I pushed her hand away and told her to stop.
Then she reached for my ribs with both hands and got me swerving
off the road. Thankfully nobody was hurt. Although my car got some deep scratches but
that doesn't really matter anymore. I'll admit I told her, what the hell is wrong with
you as soon as we stepped out of the car and she started crying. But I couldn't care less
because I felt like my veins were about to pop. When we got home, I told her to pack her things and go to her best friend.
But she threw a tantrum and begged me to forgive her for a little mistake.
I didn't say a word.
I simply stared in disgust and pointed to her luggage.
After her friend picked her up, I tried to go to sleep but my mind was racing so I barely
got any rest.
This happened on Tuesday and she's been blowing
up my phone ever since but I haven't answered any of her calls or texts and just blocked her.
This led to her friend coming to my house and telling me to at least hear my girlfriend out
but I told her to F off and leave me alone which made her tell me that I'm more in love with a car
than with my girlfriend. Okay I can't believe I have to say
this but don't tickle someone who's driving a car. Why? Because it could kill both of you!
In fact, down in the comments we have this story from Hold Fast. There was a case years ago in New
Jersey I think. A few college-age people were driving home from the beach. The driver, a woman,
was just wearing a bikini top and the guy sitting behind her thought that it'd be funny to pull
on the strings behind her neck. Her bikini fell open and she reflexively
grabbed the cups and wrecked the car. Several people died including the moron
who pulled the strings. Oh actually, beneath that someone actually found the
news article about this story and it turns out there were multiple injuries, but the only person who died was the guy who
pulled the string.
Whoops, maybe you shouldn't be such a dumbass.
And then add on to the fact that this isn't just some random attempted murder.
This is attempted murder by violating your boundaries.
So this is just a bad woman, a bad girlfriend.
Just throw her away, OP.
Then OP posted an update.
After reading the comments, I decided to send my ex a message that we should meet face to
face.
So we met at a coffee shop.
She looked as if she had been crying for a long time, but it didn't change my mind at
all.
What shocked me was the fact that she leaned in for a kiss when she saw me as
if nothing happened. I stopped her and told her that we had to have a serious conversation.
I explained that what happened wasn't because of the car itself but because she disrespected
my boundaries and she didn't spend a second thinking about what might happen if she tickled
me. Besides that, I also felt disrespected by the fact that her best friend came knocking
on my door demanding things despite having no right to do so.
This led me to ask my ex if she told her best friend the truth or if she lied about the
situation.
My ex-girlfriend said that she only told her friend that we had a small car crash and that
I'm pissed at her.
Hearing that made me feel disappointed as hell, but I did my best to remain calm.
I told her to tell the
real story to her friends and family, and then she raised her voice and told me that
I am accusing her of being a liar. Something that led to a 15 minute long discussion about
how the crash was solely her fault and that she put our lives at risk. I asked her if
everything was clear and her response was, yep, 100%. Can we go home now? Which honestly
shocked me. I told her there's no way that we can be back together and I suggested that she should
be more careful and considerate with her future partner. Her reaction was all tears, shaking,
begging me to reconsider, but I just can't look at her the same. I explained again that this wasn't
some small mistake she made.
It was a full on stupid decision that no adult should ever do because it could have killed
us.
She thought that I was exaggerating, which led to an argument where she accused me of
cheating and for me using this accident as an excuse.
I denied the accusation and told her that she's too selfish to even realize that she
broke my trust and disrespect me by saying this garbage.
I left the coffee shop feeling like I'd been talking to a wall, but at least I could
say that I tried to have a conversation with her.
An hour ago, her mom texted me asking what happened and I told her everything.
I said that I don't want any money from them, but the only thing I'm asking is that my
ex keep her distance from me.
The mom apologized for what her daughter did and wished me the best.
Also, apparently her best friend came by my place without even talking to my ex about
whether or not she should do it, so I guess she just tried to be the main character in
this whole story.
Yo, OP, I'm not even at the conversation with your girlfriend, I'm just reading this
story and I'm frustrated on behalf of you.
This woman, she sounds like a nightmare!
How can she be so dense?
OP, man, you get 0 out of 5 buttholes.
You straight up dodged a bullet here.
I'm giving your moronic girlfriend 3 out of 5 buttholes.
Am I the butthole for laughing at my sister and calling her an idiot because she once
helped paying for a surrogate?
My wife was sexually assaulted when she was young.
Her abusive religious family forced her to have the baby that was conceived.
She was so traumatized from the experience that she wanted to get her tubes tied so that
it would never happen again.
Her doctor told her parents because she was still a minor and they punished her. She threatened to unalive herself if they didn't let her do it.
Her loving family then had her involuntarily committed in the same facility that she was
sexually assaulted by some of the staff. Wow! So to say my wife has issues with intercourse
and pregnancy is like saying National Geographic
has issues.
She's been going through a lot of counseling and we go for counseling together.
We're doing okay.
Our jobs have excellent benefits and when we were ready to start a family, we paid for
a surrogate.
Our son is now too and my sister recently approached us for help funding her surrogate.
I didn't know that my sister had fertility issues and after discussing with my wife
I said that we'd be happy to help her out.
My wife has done a lot of research on surrogacy candidates and wanted to help my sister out
so she dug in and got involved.
It turns out my sister isn't infertile.
She just doesn't want to get pregnant.
My wife told me this and I called my sister to verify
She said yeah, she could get pregnant, but she just doesn't want to she thinks
It's unfair that my wife gets to keep her figure but that she would have to do it naturally
I laughed at her and called her an idiot me and my wife are doing okay for money
But we're not rich Hollywood movie stars that pay for surrogacy because my wife wanted to stay thin.
My wife called me afterwards to berate me for walking back our offer to help my sister.
Nobody on my side of my family knows my wife's past.
It isn't their business.
I told my mom that her and my stepdad should pay for my sister's surrogate.
She said that she can't afford it.
So I told her to tell my sister to just get her husband to get her pregnant because that's free.
Neither of them is talking to me now.
I just couldn't care less.
My wife is on my side, but she thinks that I could have been more diplomatic and less graphic
when describing to my mother how my sister could conceive.
Alright, hold on. I'm kind of struggling with the logic here.
Even if your sister is right and that you paid for a surrogate just so that your wife
could keep her slim form, then how exactly does that entitle your sister to getting YOU
to pay for her surrogate?
Huh?
Also, googling how much does a surrogate cost comes to 100k to 200k depending on the surrogate. So OP's sister is basically just like,
hey bro, can I have like 150k just because I want 150k? No. OP, you get 0 out of 5 buttholes.
I'm giving your sister 2.5 out of 5 buttholes. Am I the butthole for going off on my wife because
she teases me even though our bedroom is dead? I'm 32 and my wife is 32.
We've been married for 6 years, together for 9.
Our love life gradually diminished into nothing after our third year of our marriage.
We don't have any kids right now.
I handle my part of the chores in the household, if not more due to me working from home and
being available, mostly.
I do show her non-sexual attention and gestures
such as massaging, kissing, being emotionally available and other things. I explain this because
people tend to find fault with my side first after I tell them about the situation. I tried to have
many talks with my wife about it, but it all boils down to, we're not married for intercourse, so stop
thinking with your thing down there and so on.
However, that doesn't stop her from teasing me. She'll talk about intercourse, but then just reject
me afterwards and go to sleep. She'll be flirty, but then there's nothing in the end. I asked her
if this is her kink and if it is, I'm not comfortable with it, especially because our love life is in
shambles. She said that it's not a kink and she genuinely doesn't feel in the mood.
I told her then stop teasing me!
Yesterday was our anniversary and we had a great date together.
She implied in her course and teased me a lot during our time.
I was hopeful that we would do something.
But guess what?
Once we stepped inside the house, she just showered and went to bed.
Okay, maybe I should make a move.
I tried and got rejected. I lost it at that moment and just shouted my frustration at
her. I told her that I'm going to divorce her. I packed my clothes and some important
belongings and left for a hotel. She tried to stop me but couldn't. She's been calling
me non-stop, but I need peace of mind right now. It's just frustrating. Being together I just came back from the local courthouse after presenting the divorce intention document
to the family court.
I called my wife to let her know that I started the process and that I'm okay with the 50-50
split.
She asked me for marriage counseling and told me that I should take back what I did.
I realized that I'm extremely burnt out from trying and I just don't want to try anymore. That's what
three years of trying with no results does to someone, I guess. I told her that we could have
separation counseling near the end of the divorce so that we could understand the relationship from
each other's points and end things amicably. She tried to talk with me, but I asked her to please
make it easy for both of us and I hung up. She's messaging and calling me, but still, I have no
intention of talking to her if lawyers aren't involved right now. I'll be staying with my
parents for now. OP, I think you made the right call here. Clearly, you and your wife are
incompatible. And on top of that, your wife just sounds like a B-word to be honest. Not necessarily
because she doesn't want to have intercourse, but because she teases you about it. Why does she intentionally go out of your way to torture
you? So I'm giving you 0 out of 5 buttholes and I'm giving her 3 out of 5 buttholes.
Am I the butthole for shrugging when my dad's mistress told me that they need all my dad's
money right now? I'm a 17 year old guy. So my dad left my mom when I was 14 to be with the woman that he was cheating on my
mom with.
He's currently married to her.
My dad didn't want me to think badly of him, but I did.
He knew that I did, and he knew that he couldn't change my mind easily.
We always knew that my parents would end up with shared custody until I was at least 17.
I also knew that my mom would struggle on her own because while she did work, she never
made as much money as my dad.
She also wouldn't get child support because of the 50-50 and it wasn't ordered even with
the difference in income.
So when my dad pleaded with me to give him a chance to show that he could still be a
good dad, he said that he would do anything for me.
I told him to keep supporting mom and make sure that she wasn't going to end up struggling
while he got off easy.
I told him she deserved that at least after what he did and that I deserved to see my
mom doing well.
My dad agreed and started sending my mom money.
It really helped my mom and she actually went back to school so that she could get a better
job.
My dad is still paying that money to my mom.
He knows that I appreciate him doing it.
And he also knows that this is one of the only reasons that I didn't just decide to
say F him and never have a relationship with him.
My mom is also less stressed.
She has mixed feelings about my dad giving her money when legally he doesn't need to.
But she also knows this is the only way for me to feel that I don't need to support her.
So my dad's new wife never liked that my dad paid this child support.
She never liked that I insisted on it for my dad and I to have a relationship.
But now, my dad's household is struggling a bit and some changes needed to be made.
His wife's son and daughter were in dance, football, softball,
karate, music lessons and art class as well as extracurriculars. My dad and his wife also
have a baby together. The wife's kids had to cut two of their activities because they couldn't
afford it anymore. It pisses his wife off because if dad wasn't paying that money,
they could still afford these things. She told me that I should stop obligating my dad to support my mom because they need the money more and my mom isn't their problem.
I told her that she and her kids aren't my problem. She told me that they're my family while my mom
isn't her or her kids family or my dad's anymore. She told me they need all of my dad's money right
now or they would have to cut back even more. I just shrugged. She told me I need all of my dad's money right now or they would have to cut back even more.
I just shrugged.
She told me I was so callously flippant and it wasn't a good look to care so little about
my siblings lives.
Am I the butthole?
Oh no!
The mistress is upset that her man is spending time and attention and money on another woman?
Oh that must feel really bad.
Also I looked through OP's comments to see if
the mistress has a job and OP says that the mistress works a little bit but not even part
time, maybe like 5 to 10 hours a week. So if she really wanted money, then all she has to do is
fill out a job application. OP, you get 0 out of 5 buttholes. I'm giving the dad and the mistress
3 out of 5 buttholes. That was r slash Dad and The Mistress 3 out of 5 buttholes.
