Am I the bad guy where O-P-Enter Dog are both a couple of carons? Am I the bad guy for taking my dog into the grocery store for no more than 10 minutes? I, a 33 year old woman, am the proud owner of peanut, my Yorkshire Terrier.

I took peanut to the dog park today in PetSmart. In the same complex as the grocery store I go to, it was a warmer day and I didn't want to leave peanut in the car, so I leashed him up and took him in with me. I planned on a quick trip, no more than 10 minutes. I went to the produce department to grab some stuff. A guy, probably in his 30s, not an employee, rudely told me that pets aren't allowed in grocery stores and asked why I had a dog with me. Before I could respond, he told me it was gross as F to have my dog in the produce section. I explained that it was hot out and I planned to be quick in the store. I apologized and said the most convenient thing for me was to come here with

peanuts. He told me to f off and not be a lazy pet owner. Then he stormed off. It was a bit of a scene. Feeling uncomfortable, I just left. I thought it'd be no big deal. Peanut didn't misbehave or have an accident and I didn't think that I was being the bad guy. Well, too bad OP because you are. Bringing pets into a grocery store is unhygienic and gross OP and you just shouldn't do it. If it's a service dog, I can understand, but no, the guy's right, you are just being a lazy pet owner.

OP, you're being a real Karen here. I'm giving you 1.5 out of 5 bad guys. Okay, this post is an update to a previous R-slash-amide the bad guy post. In the original post, OP took his girlfriend to some elaborate paid-for vacation in Colorado to go skiing, and OP's girlfriend brought all of her girlfriends along super last minute. Then when they were at the vacation, OP's girlfriend basically just ignored him and spent all of her time with her friends. Opie was originally planning to propose to her, but the whole situation made him question everything.

So, he left. If you want to go back and relisten to that episode, I'm going to put the link to that episode in the description. Now, onto the update. I decided that I wanted to end the entire relationship. I packed all of my important belongings and arranged with my best friend to crash at his apartment until I could find my own place. Usually, when small issues happen in a relationship, it ties into a bigger issue of that relationship. The main reason why I decided to break up is because I realized that her friends will

always be closer to her than me. Sarah has favored her friends over me and blown off some of our plans for her friends more than once. I was lying to myself for years because I didn't want to face reality yet. I had hoped that she would change, but this trip really opened my eyes that I'll always be in third place to her. I've expressed my feelings multiple times, and Sarah promised me she would change and she didn't. Sarah got back from the vacation late yesterday. I said that I have a lot

to get off my chest and I want to get through my notes before she talks or tries to interrupt me. The first question I asked Sarah was how she thought the trip went. She said that we all had fun and it was memorable. Hold on, hold on, I gotta stop the story. OP left the vacation early, she came back late, she didn't come back with him, hold up, is that right? Yes, that is correct. So what? OP bought this girl a vacation, they went out together, then he mysteriously just leaves

in the middle of the vacation and she stays for the rest of the time and then thinks they had a good time. Okay, okay. Back to the update. I said that I shouldn't have to feel like the third wheel in my own relationship, especially on a trip that I planned. My next question was, why did you invite your friends in the first place? You knew that this was an anniversary trip for us.

She had talked about the trip with her friends since the beginning, and they had never been to Colorado. She thought that it would be a good idea to allow them to come, just so they can have fun in Colorado with us. I followed up by saying that I didn't even know that her friends were coming until the days before. It's one thing if your friends come and do their own activities. But it's another thing if every activity becomes a group activity. I signed up for a monogamous, not poly relationship. My last question was, did you know that I was going to propose to you? Sarah said that she didn't know at all.

The thought never occurred to Sarah that I was going to ask. She claimed that she wouldn't have invited her friends to come along if she knew, but I responded that it would ruin the surprise if I told you. Sarah begged me to stay with her, and she believes that we can work everything out. She didn't want me to throw five years away after one bad trip. I've listened to her promises to change for years regarding her friends, but nothing's happened. I ultimately left Sarah with this. I'm not sure if you're watching this video or not.

I'm not sure if you're watching this video or not and I'll plan to get the rest of my belongings. As for the ring, I'll return it this weekend. OP, I actually remember thinking when I read your last post, the original post I was thinking to myself, okay, OP pieced out in the middle of this vacation, he didn't tell his girlfriend he just left. Obviously, as soon as she realizes she's gonna get the next plane back. But the fact that she didn't, that she just stayed at that vacation the entire time and chose her friends over you when you were clearly upset is such a red flag.

You're right OP, she does put her friends over you. Like it's really weird to me that she says, how can you throw away a five year relationship? When the real question is, how can you disrespect a five year relationship by inviting your friends on an anniversary vacation? She's the one disrespecting the 5 years, not you, OP, you still get 0 out of 5 bad guys. I don't remember the bad guy score that I gave Sarah last time, but whatever it was, I'm adding 0.5 to her bad guy score for not following you home. Am I the bad guy for being a B-word towards my boyfriend after he ruined my day?

My son is 12 and we're very close. We always spend one day a month together. Our day together is always the same. We wake up slightly later than usual. Have a pancake breakfast, hang out at the ring for a couple of hours, head to the arcade to try the claw machines, then eat dinner at this Indian restaurant before hitting home and watching a movie with dessert. It's important to us, and we always do everything that I mentioned. We've been doing it since he was five. I always let my son and my boyfriend know the date a

week prior. On the morning of that day, my boyfriend decided to clean the kitchen and threw out the pancake mix. He then forgot to fill up the gas in my car so we had to go to the gas station but it took forever because of traffic. Then we finally got to the rank and he called me about 20 times to ask where something is or to discuss something about his daughter. We had to leave quickly so the restaurant wouldn't close so we skipped the arcade. When we were halfway through eating my boyfriend called and said that he had heard himself.

We packed up the food and rushed home, only to find out that he hid his ankle on something, but was okay otherwise. He then refused to let us watch the movie because he was watching something and he started eating the food that we brought. My son called him a dick before stomping up to his room. I was just in shock. My boyfriend has never done this before, and I really couldn't tell if he was being oblivious or if he was doing this on purpose.

My boyfriend was like, you just gonna let that slide? I rolled my eyes at him before saying, enjoy the food, and then I went to our room. He followed after me, asking what the F. My problem was. I told him that he knows how important this day is, and he got pissed and was like, is that what this is about? I'm important to, you know. I kind of snapped and told him that he isn't as important as my son, and that he ruined our day by acting like a child. He went quiet, said that I'm being a B word and left. He won't answer any of my calls, but he texted my son saying that he expects an apology.

It's 5 a.m. and I haven't been able to sleep. Am I the bad guy here? Please be honest. I need to know if I was really being a B word and if I overreacted or something. Okay, so there's two ways to interpret this story. One story is that this guy is honestly legitimately oblivious and these are all just accidental coincidences. And even if that's the case, and that means that this guy accidentally ruined your day with your son, your special day.

And his response is to call you a B word and get upset about it and expect your 12 year old son to apologize even though he's the one who ruined his 12 year old's day. Huh? So even in the best case scenario, this guy still deserves a butthole score. In that case, I'm going to give him, I guess, 2 out of 5 bad guys because he's being very selfish, very like uncaring about this bond you have with your son. And like eating your food after he's the one who forced you to come back early, super,

super selfish. Then there's the other way to interpret the story, which is that he did this intentionally to sabotage your relationship with your son. Personally, I'm leaning towards that interpretation. Because the fact that he just happened to clean up the kitchen early and throw out the pancake mix is a little, it's just too coincidental. I have to ask Opie, how many times in the history of your relationship has this guy thrown away pancake mix?

My guess is that this is the first time ever. And he called you 20 times while you're at the rank, I have never called someone 20 times in one day in my life, in my life. And this guy had to do it on your special day. Now, this is sabotage. This is straight up sabotage. If it's sabotage, I'm giving him, I think, 3.5 out of 5 bad guys. This is just, this is a parade of red flags, OP. You gotta, I think it's time to duck out of this relationship OP. I don't know what's going on with your boyfriend. I think the only thing I can give him a pass on is for getting to fill up the gas tank because everyone forgets to fill up the gas tank.

That's not a big deal. But everything else, it just feels too intentional for me. Am I the bad guy for not canceling my plans after my boyfriend learned about his diagnosis? I'm a 25 year old woman who works in event planning, so I always get invites or tickets to go to high end events. There was a huge event coming up that I was really excited to go to. I asked my boyfriend, who's 27, 3 days before the event to accompany me, and he said yes. So originally, the plan was my boyfriend, my step sister, and myself.

On the day of the event, my boyfriend said that he had a doctor's appointment, so he wasn't sure if he could still attend. I said no problem, and I waited for him to return home. A couple hours later, he texted me and said that he has something to tell me. I got worried, and I called him immediately. I asked if everything was okay, and he said that he was diagnosed with anemia, so he'll have to take supplements. I expressed how sorry I was, and spoke to him for about two hours, giving him pep talks,

told him I'm here if he needs me, reassured him that I'll always love him, etc. I then asked if he would still like to attend the event with me to take his mind off things, to which he responded that he doesn't like the artist performing so he'd rather go to a different event. I said, no problem, I'll go with my step sister alone. He got upset and hung up. I called him back, but he started an argument about how I'm selfish for going out while he's going through something. I told him that I already made the plans with my step sister, and I can't back out now because she's depending on me. I also don't drink, so I would have been the designated driver, and if I didn't go, she

couldn't. I told him that this event is the only event my sister really wanted to attend, and I promised her that I would take her months prior. I even told him that I'll see him the next day, and he said be safe and hung up. I got to the event around 11 and spent the entire event alone just sitting down and watching the show by myself, having food and drinks. When I returned home at 2am, I called him and he was awake playing video games. His first words were, look who cares about me again. I said, I'm too tired for this, and he responded by saying that, of course you're tired.

You went out without me knowing that I'm upset, but you love partying and meeting new people so much that you didn't think to stay home with me on the phone. I told him that he's being ridiculous, and I would have stayed if it was just us to who had planned to go. He said that my priorities are off, and I'm an ignorant bad guy. Keep in mind, I don't attend parties unless it's with my family, and I only attend events a few times a year. So am I the bad guy for not staying on the phone with him and attending the event instead?

Okay, hold up. What is Anemia? Isn't that like thin blood? Anemia is a condition in which you lack enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your body's tissues. I always thought anemia just made you tired. Fatigue, weakness, regular heartbeats, dizziness, headaches. Uh-uh.

How do I say this? I don't want to belittle people who are struggling with anemia because obviously it's a medical condition and it seems really psyche to deal with. But as far as medical conditions go, this seems relatively minor. It's not a brain tumor, it's not cancer. I can understand the guy being upset about it. Obviously he'd be bummed, I'd be bummed too, but uh, what's the big deal? Isn't it super treatable as well? Down in the comments, yeah, everyone is trashing on this guy.

Username Taken says, when my doctor told me to take iron pills and vitamins, I was like, okay, and I told my husband and he was like, okay, and then I got some iron pills and vitamins and I took them and everyone was okay. Yeah, this feels like an overreaction. It kind of feels like your boyfriend never wanted to go to this event in the first place and he's using this as an excuse to not go and get all huffy about it. You know, I don't want to belittle when he's going through.

He can still really be upset and sad that he has a medical condition. I'd probably be pretty upset and sad too. But to expect you to just put all of your plans on hold because he got an anemia diagnosis as a bit extreme. I'm sure I'm going to give OP the benefit of the doubt here and say that if he got a cancer diagnosis, OP would have canceled, right?

Anyone would have done that. So I'm giving OP 0 out of 5 bad guys. The boyfriend gets like a split review. I'm giving the boyfriend 0 out of 5 bad guys for the fact that he got bummed out and really upset about the diagnosis I think that's totally normal. However, I'm giving him one out of five bad guys for the way that he reacted to your reaction And how he expected you to just put your life on hold basically. You know actually now that I think about it I think my wife got anemia when she was pregnant and the doctor spotted it and she took pills and her

anemia was fixed and I mean it was pretty pretty simple you just take the pill everything's a-okay that was our slash of my D.A. and if you like this content be sure to follow my podcast because I put out new Reddit podcast episodes every single day.
