My sister thinks that me being miffed about a guy not finding time to text back within 24 hours is abrasive and demanding.

She’s a people pleaser and different personality, but dang I’m not asking for much.

Preach girl.

Okay maybe I’m an A-hole but I don’t think 24hrs is that bad depending on the context.

I hate texting so if I just started seeing someone and they jumped down my throat for not texting back fast enough without calmly talking to me about it first then yeah I’d probably find that abrasive and a huge turn off. If you’ve spoken with him about your communication standards and he agreed to meet them but hasn’t, then please feel free to go off.

Loll.. but last week she was making digs at me for the size of my apartment and it being ‘cramped’ at 850 sq ft and that I have coffee for breakfast and lunch when she lives in a townhome she owns with her questionable boyfriend and has ‘real meals’ when we were talking about who could host our other sister when she visited us, but said I interpreted it wrong and she was totally joking.

I agree with you, 24 hours turnaround time on a text msg is pretty dismal. What's your plan, tho?

Will you confront the offender or just vent to your sister/anonymously here?

But we aren’t dating in the sense of being boyfriend/girlfriend… we’re still getting to know each other. Chill, you’re being very intense. I’m more bothered by my sister’s opinion of me than his right now. Also I already sent him a text explaining how I felt but also understood his side and asked if we could meet up this weekend.

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not.

Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly.

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.
