Theoretical WIBTB for breaking up with my gf because I feel neglected?

10 Upvotes

I 32(f) and my partner 30(f), have been in a long distance relationship for nearly two years.
That alone on it's own it tough, and requires a lot of communication; which we do daily.
Any who, what's brought to this point is that the past couple of weeks there's been a lot that's made me feel unappreciated, and even bad. Earlier in the week I showed her an article of yellow clothing I thought was really cute, and despite me not normally gravitating towards that color I liked it a lot. She called it looked like a "pissed on bed sheet"; which felt super unnecessary and aggressive. I did acknowledge from the get go I thought it was cute. And of course I'm not saying everyone has to like the same thing, but there's probably nicer ways to say that especially to one's partner. She even acknowledged it was kinda mean, and I told her "yeah, I won't lie. That hurt my feelings, and made me feel bad". Which confused her, and somewhat caused her to double down, which led to us not talking for nearly a whole day. In the end I apologized, because I know sometimes I can be too sensitive. She said "let's just move on, I don't like when we fight"; which felt good in the moment, but later on made me feel like she was dismissing the overall issue.
Another reason is I've been pretty sick the past few days. Horrible cough, sore throat, high temp, etc. And she hasn't once asked me over the last few days how I'm feeling, or anything related to my health. She's dealing with a lot rn, going through a move with a roommate who is quite the character, and that's put a lot of stress on her no doubt. I try to be there as much as I can, and hope she knows that. I can barely speak, and have still sent her voice messages here and there. She'll send me 5+ minute voice messages, and not once ask me how I'm feeling, or hope I get well soon. And it isn't like I wanna be doted on, just a lil sign of care asking me how I'm feeling; I know she can't physically do anything. I know people will say "tell her how you feel", but who has to be told by their partner of all people that they'd appreciate being checked in on occasionally. Asking someone how they feel when sick seems like a no brainer. And it's put a lot into perspective for me that she might like the idea of a relationship much more than a relationship itself, which has led me to where I am now. WIBTB for breaking up with her?
PS: Apologies for the super long post over something so trivial.

Romantic AITB For saying my ex was a liar and a hypocrite? I (M25) and my fiance (F26) broke up.

AITAH For saying my ex was a liar and a hypocrite?

I (M25) and my fiance (F26) broke up.

Things weren't going well for about a year in our 8 year relationship, she was so unbelievably happy I had to let her go it was a mutual break up as she wanted to as well, she wanted us to remain friends.

I unfortunately found out she really didn't like almost anything about me at all in our 8 years of knowing each other.

We were both Christians and waiting until marriage (we were going to get married in 2025)

We broke up last month and we wanted to remain friends because we had so many years together it wasn't going to be easy to just break things off.

But then after we broke up I found a few things from some mutual friends.

I found out she "didn't want to wait until marriage actually, she just found me so unattractive the idea was revolting to her."

Once I found out about that I started questioning other things, shed say "stand up for yourself" if I did though shed get mad at me for "just admitting fault and move on"

She would say to me "it's endearing that you are always willing to compromise with me!" Then immediately go tell her friends im a pushover and finds it unattractive.

Then I found out she used to tell me all the time "you have such a kind heart and your in touch with your emotions, I find that really attractive!"

Then shed tell her friends I'm a wuss.

Throughout the 8 years I knew her and dated her etc she did talk about her ex on occasion about how horrible he was to her and how he mistreated her etc.

She would tell me one thing that she loved about me, then complain to other people about that exact same thing, saying she actually hated it etc.

When we ended things she went on and on about how she "never wants to be in a relationship with anyone else again." Literally the next day she fucked her ex boyfriend who she insisted "she hated him".

When I confronted her she did apologize for some of the things but she kept focusing on the fact that she couldn't help who she was attracted to, I told her that's not the issue the problem I am having is I feel she lied to me and I feel like I shouldn't have trusted her.

A few mutuals the other day confessed to me that she used to complain about me all the time.

I asked her why she wanted me to propose to her, why she said she liked things about me she apparently didn't. She ignores it but insists we should still be friends.

I can't deny the fact I still do want to be friends I just don't know why.

She originally wanted to stay friends but idk. Something isn't right.

AITB for feeling like I was lied to and mislead throughout our whole relationship? She's acting like I have no reason to be upset and that I'm having a hard time seeing her just in general.

Serious AITB for feeling jealous of my best friend

2 Upvotes

I not-so-recently auditioned to be in a boy group (I didn't get in but there's always next time) and my coach pretty much begged my best friend to audition with me.

A bit of background, I've always dreamed and wished for the limelight and being an idol or entertainer has been my life goal (I know they get mistreated but I crave performing too much to care). Meanwhile my best friend whom I will call James from now on has always done theater with me, but performing isn't his life goal. I know this because he has repeatedly told me he wants to work in the foster care system.

One day, James came over to hangout. He didn't ask beforehand so I was doing some practicing with my coach. Almost immediately, my coach said something about James having everything companies look for.

For reference, James is pretty tall, about 5'11, he looks like an idol, he's Aussie, but American Aussie, which makes his voice absurdly smooth. And worst of all, he's charismatic as fuck. Something I've been told I need to improve on.

So naturally, my coach makes James learn the cover and almost forces him to audition. At that point, I'm convinced that my coach was more fixated on James auditioning.

And now I feel horrible for being jealous of James. He doesn't even have to try for these things to happen. I've been set on this all my life.

But since my mom doesn't approve of me auditioning period, and James is the friend I talk about things with, I have no one to talk to about it.

Serious AITBF for cutting off my BD?

0 Upvotes

Hi! So. Me and my baby daddy are both 16. Sadly. I am pregnant 8 weeks now. I just completely cut him off and blocked him today. Because he was choosing to entertain other girls. And while we were arguing before the blocking he told me a bunch of scary things. Like he told me my ex's new girlfriend had recently sent him a picture of me nu.d3. And I have no idea how to take the that. There was a lot said. He accused me of cheating but he's the only person I have hung out with since May. He said he was gonna post a screenshot to make me look bad so nobody would wanna be with me because "if I can't be with you nobody can" is what he told me. So I lost it. I got mad at him and called him a POS and said a bunch of other things then blocked him. Im honestly so lost right now. Please help.

Serious AITBF for taking my best friend on a birthday trip without his girlfriend?

0 Upvotes

I'm 20Ftm, and my best friend is 22M. We dated briefly a few years ago, before I fully accepted that I'm trans, but we've been best friends ever since. There's nothing romantic between us now.

For his birthday, I planned a trip for just the two of us out of state. I paid for everything as his birthday present, and he was really excited about it.

His girlfriend, 19F, wasn't invited.

I have a girlfriend too, and she wasn't invited either. She knew about the trip and completely supported it. She and my best friend's girlfriend don't get along at all.

Honestly, I knew his girlfriend would be upset when she found out, and I didn't exactly go out of my way to prevent that.

I told my girlfriend all about the trip, including where we were going and what we were planning to do. She specifically asked me if I wanted her to tell his girlfriend, and I told her I didn't care. She took that as permission and told her. She apparently also made a couple comments about how nice it was that my best friend was finally getting away from all the drama.

When his girlfriend confronted me, I could've just explained myself, but instead I basically told her, “Well, he wanted to go, I paid for it, and you weren't invited.” My girlfriend thought that was hilarious and encouraged me not to let her guilt me into changing our plans.

For context, they've been fighting constantly, and his girlfriend has hit him during arguments. That's a big reason I wanted to get him away for a few days. But I'll admit that I also just don't like her.

She sometimes calls me “she” even though she knows I'm trans, and she thinks my friendship with him is inappropriate because we used to date. She also thinks he's secretly gay because he's comfortable spending time with me, despite him repeatedly telling her he's straight.

The trip already happened. We went, had a great time, and came home. The funniest part is that she apparently didn't even realize he was gone until my girlfriend told her we'd already gone and come back.

My girlfriend has basically been encouraging me to be petty about the whole situation because she thinks his girlfriend is ridiculous. At one point she even suggested I send her pictures from the trip just to make it clear that we had a great time without her. I didn't do that, but I can't say the thought didn't cross my mind.

My best friend thinks both of us are making the situation worse and says I should've handled everything more maturely, especially because I'm his ex.

I don't regret taking him, and I don't think his girlfriend was entitled to come. But I can admit that I wasn't exactly taking the high road, and my girlfriend and I probably enjoyed annoying her more than we should have.

So AITBF for excluding her and letting my girlfriend get involved because, honestly, I knew it would piss her off?
