Welcome to r slash am I the butthole where OP's girlfriend expects him to pay for her vacation to go sleep with another guy. Am I the butthole for refusing to pay for my girlfriend's plane ticket after she decided

to stay longer on her trip without me? So here's the deal. I'm a 28 year old guy and my girlfriend is 27. We've been dating for two years and I planned a two week vacation to Italy. I paid for the flights, hotels, everything because I make more than she does and I wanted it to be a stress-free trip for both of us. Everything was great until the last day when she tells me that she wants to stay longer to find herself and think about our relationship without me. She didn't discuss this with me beforehand and it completely blindsided me. I was hurt and told her that if she feels she needs time alone, then she should also be independent financially during the extension of her trip.

I said that I would not be paying for her new return ticket whenever she decides to come back. Now she's upset, calling me unsupportive and selfish and some of our friends are saying that I'm being a butthole because I left her stranded in a foreign country without financial help. So Reddit, am I the butthole for refusing to pay for her new plane ticket home after she chose to extend her trip without any heads up? Yo OP, you didn't leave her stranded in a foreign country, you literally bought her a plane ticket to come back with you.

If she doesn't want to use that ticket, then that's on her. My guess is what probably happened here is that this romantic trip to Italy wasn't quite as magical as she thought it was going to be and she thought, oh, okay, well, I guess I'm probably not going to stay with this guy forever. So I'll just try to milk an extra week of vacation out of him, then go back home and dump him. But there's an update, let's see if I'm right. We're both back in America now, and she's packing her stuff to go stay with her family for a bit until she can find a new place. Soon after I made my first post, it was time to go to the airport.

So I did, without her. I'm one of those people who arrives really early because I never think that I'll get to the gate in time because everything that could go wrong probably would go wrong. I was there for about an hour by myself, mulling things over and talking to my mom. I looked at a couple of responses to this post, but I didn't trust that I wouldn't lose it if I started responding and I definitely didn't want to burst into tears while I was at the airport. As I was talking to my mom, my girlfriend showed up.

I guess she thought that I was bluffing, but she had a rude awakening when the hotel staff kicked her out of the room because I'd only paid through the day. I took no small amount of satisfaction in this, not gonna lie. She'd been so concerned about the plane ticket that she didn't even stop to think about where she was gonna stay. As many of you guessed, she met someone while we were in Italy. Oh, there we go, there we go. So I was, not really, I was kinda close.

Turns out when she said find herself, what she really meant was find herself some dick. She was quick to tell me that it was just physical attraction and that they hadn't done anything. But she had his Instagram account and she wanted to see if it would go anywhere. I guess that's what I get for not feeling well and wanting to stay inside one night while she went out to explore.

Obviously, I told her things were over between us. Even though she tried to make it sound like nothing had happened, the fact was A. I could no longer feel like I could trust her. And B. I don't really want to be with someone who feels like it's okay to still keep her options open when she's been in a monogamous relationship for two years. The flight home was awkward as hell and she tried really hard to make another pitch as to why we should stay together when we were driving home from the airport.

I think as we got closer to home, reality started setting in and she realized that she had just thrown a lot away. So yeah, I'm jet-lagged and physically and emotionally exhausted. I'm just kind of numb at this point. OP, I think you dodged a bullet here because not only is this woman effectively a cheater, but also she's just straight up dumb. Like the thought never even crossed her mind, wait a second. So I have to pay for a hotel room? Huh? You mean if I stay here for another week they won't just let me live here for free?

Huh? Wha? A cheater and a doofus. I'm honestly not sure which one is worse. Nah, probably cheating to be honest. OP, I'm giving you 0 out of 5 buttholes. I'm giving your girlfriend a 3.5 out of 5 buttholes. How do you say the audacity in Italian? Laudacia! Am I the butthole for telling my father I do know about that?

I'm a 28 year old woman and a wildlife biologist. I have a master's degree in wildlife conservation and I'm hoping to go for my doctorate soon. I've worked in this field since I was 16 and I'm very passionate about it. When visiting my family recently for Easter, my mom asked me to tell the family a little bit about my work. I was very excited to talk about my current research. Here's where the issue comes in though. My father, who's 60, would respond to almost everything I said with, hmm, I don't know

about that. At first I tried to ignore it, but it just didn't stop. Eventually I responded, well, I do know, given that I have two degrees and all. I responded in a light, playful tone, but he didn't take it well at all. He immediately accused me of being disrespectful. I responded, I'm sorry, but it's disrespectful of you to insinuate that you know more than I do about my own field. Dinner got pretty quiet after that. I finished the meal, helped with the dishes, and said goodbye before leaving. But on the ride home, I got a phone call from my mother

asking me why I felt the need to aggregate my father and why I had to talk back. I'm a 28 year old professional. This feels insane to me. Am I the butthole? Alright, OP, this is a tale as old as time. Good old Pops is used to being the big man on campus, the boss, the guy in charge, the dude who knows everything in the family. But now that you've grown up, left the nest, and learned about the world, you know more than he does so he's trying to tear you down so that he can feel big. OP, when your dad said, I don't know about that, you should have said, yeah, you don't know about that. OP, you get 0 out of 5 buttholes. I'm giving your mom and your dad both 1 out of 5 buttholes. Am I the butthole for flipping out on my fiance after her daughter almost got me arrested?

I'm a 38 year old man and I got engaged to my fiance, who's 37, about 3 months ago. We've been dating for almost 3 years. She has two kids from a previous relationship, a 15 year old girl and a 12 year old boy. Their dad is involved in their lives and, for the most part, the adults all co-parent and communicate well. I get along really well with a 12 year old, but I've always struggled to build a relationship with my soon to be stepdaughter, Riley. Riley has made it very clear to me, my fiance, and her biological dad that she does not view me as a parent, and she does not want me to try to be a father to her because she already

has one. A few days ago, my fiance sent me a text asking me if I could pick up Riley from school because she had something come up at work and it was going to keep her late. She told me that she would call the school to let them know that I'd be picking up Riley because I wasn't on the approved pick up list yet. However, when I got to Riley's school, it quickly became apparent that my fiance forgot to call the school. The school has locked doors that require you to have a code or be buzzed in by the office. I buzzed into the office to let them know that I was there to pick up Riley and that

my fiance should have called to let them know. They didn't know anything about it. I was left waiting outside for 5-10 minutes while they figured it out. I tried calling and texting my fiance but she didn't answer. Then the school resource officer, an actual uniformed cop came out and told me that I would have to leave and if I refused then he would arrest me for trespassing. I tried talking with him, but he just kept saying that I wasn't authorized to be on school property and that I had to leave.

I had no choice but to leave without Riley. Finally, an hour later, my fiance called me back. I explained what happened and she apologized for forgetting to call the school because she got distracted with work. She told me that she would figure it out and meet me at home. When she and Riley got home, Riley went straight to her room. My fiance sat me down and told me that Riley had lied to the office and told them that she didn't know who I was and had never seen me before. She thought it'd be funny. She told me that she explained to Riley how dangerous that was and was going to work with

Riley's dad to figure out a punishment. Needless to say, I did not take that news well. I admit that I did raise my voice to her. I didn't yell, but I did get louder than I usually talk. She told me to calm down and I told her that I won't calm down because her daughter almost got me arrested because she thought it'd be funny. I told my fiance that she is just as responsible for this as Riley is because she didn't call the school and she put me in a position where I look like a creep or a predator. My fiance thinks that I'm overreacting

and that I need to let her and Riley's dad handle this. Yo, this situation sucks. It's funny how everyone in this family is telling OP that he can't be a parent, but then they still expect him to do parent chores. So you're definitely not the dad, but you gotta pick her up from school. It's like, come on guys, you gotta pick one. You gotta pick one! Also, this doesn't feel like a funny prank. This feels like intentional malice. I think you're completely justified in being angry OP. Your fiance was careless and your stepdaughter is a little turd. I'm giving you zero out of five buttholes. I'm giving the two women in this story two out of five buttholes. Would I be the butthole if I texted my husband's female best friend to see her reaction? My husband has a best friend from college. I never had issues with her until my wedding a

month ago when my maid of honor overheard her snapping at another friend of hers that she has and when she wants him. When the friend teased her that she lost him and he was the one who got away. I told my husband about it a few days ago, but he denied anything happened between them. He was very calm when he said it. Almost too calm. Anyways, I have no proof and I trust him. Until I used his phone when my phone died. He was driving and I was making a playlist on his phone.

Then I looked through his iMessages and he had no thread with her. I mean, I know for a fact that they text, but there was nothing. I didn't say anything, but last night I literally saw her name pop up among the texts. When he went to bed, I looked and there was no text thread. He's actively deleting them. Now my question is, if I ask him, he'll just deny it. But I know that I need proof. Would I be the butthole if I initiated a conversation with her acting like I'm my husband to see what's up? I need proof and peace of mind. Then down in the comments OP posts an update. He's cheating. I went through his deleted messages but it was empty so he's been deleting

the deleted messages as well. I sent her out, what are you doing text message because this is how he texts when he's bored. She said that she was in bed and I, as my husband, said that I was in bed too watching Succession. She asked if I was sleeping. Then it didn't take long before she started sexting. In a way, that made it obvious that they've done it multiple times. I ended it quickly because honestly, I felt nauseous. I didn't want a sexter. I sent all the evidence

to myself. Tomorrow, I'll be moving back to my parents' place and starting the divorce. I will not tell my husband why. Then, two days later, OP posted another update. I left my husband and I'm now writing this from the comfort of my mom's bed. We kicked out my dad because I want all my mom's attention. They've been showering me with food and candy. I left my husband without saying why, just that I wanted a divorce and that I don't love him anymore. I ended our marriage with a text while he was out because he's not worth more than

that. When he got home, I was gone. I blocked him because I never want to see or hear from him again. The rumor started spreading pretty fast though because I told my friends and family the truth. So now he's angry thinking that his affair partner revealed the secret on purpose so he's bashing her on social media. And she's fighting him back and fighting with other friends too. She texted me saying that I am a hoe who ruined her reputation and friendships and that he never loved me anyway and he married me because I'm a

dumb hoe. I just blocked her. Yo what? Of all the insults the affair partner could have sent OP, she called OP a ho? What? She got married in a monogamous relationship and she's a ho? At least use an applicable insult lady like b-word, call her a butthole, whatever man, but you are objectively the ho. Oh god, people are so dumb. OP, you get zero out of five buttholes. This one's super, super easy. I'm giving your husband and the affair partner 3.5 out of 5 buttholes, this one's super super easy. I'm giving your husband and the affair partner 3.5 out of 5 buttholes. My boyfriend prank broke up with me and he didn't like my reaction. Am I the butthole?

I'm a 38 year old woman and he's 37. We've been together for 3 years and planning to move in together before the summer. Everything was amazing and I've been so excited. He was visiting the family over Easter and we kept the usual contact and I love you slash I miss you talk. Then he texted me saying that he's been having cold feet and he wasn't sure about us and it was over. I immediately called him and he said the same things.

I told him we could talk when he got home, but he said that it was no use. I texted him later that we should talk when he's back home so that we could talk face to face. He wrote to say, I'm sorry for hurting you, but it's over. This seemed very final to me, so I wrote, I understand. Good luck to you. Then I stopped trying to contact him. A few days later he called, but I didn't answer.

Then he texted me to pick up, but I didn't. He came home yesterday and he was SO angry. He said that it was a joke, but he was hurt over how indifferent I acted and that I gave up so easily. He yelled some more and then left. I'm very heartbroken right now. I just believed him and acted accordingly, but he thinks that even if it was true, I should have been more devastated that a beautiful relationship of three years has ended and that it deserved

better than an okay, good luck text message that I didn't fight enough for the relationship. Yo, this guy is 37, 37 years old and he's like, he, he, he, he, I'm going to do a prank on, check it out guys, I'm gonna do a prank on my girlfriend and text her that I'm dumping her. Won't that be so lit? Won't that be so fire? I mean, I can see looking past this, if this was like a 16 year old girl and a 17 year old guy, then it's like, okay, I get it.

They're dumb teenagers, it's a stupid prank, it's just a prank bro, you know, whatever. Maybe they can move past it. But're dumb teenagers, it's a stupid prank, it's just a prank bro, you know, whatever. Maybe they can move past it. But the dude's almost 40. Alright, it's time to move on, OP. I'm giving you 0 out of 5 buttholes. I'm giving this guy, I don't know, 2 out of 5 buttholes.
