Am I the butthole for breaking up with my boyfriend because he lost my dog? I'm a 25 year old woman and my boyfriend is 24.
Starting point is 00:00:44 We've been together for almost 4 years. We get along okay for the most part. Things like him losing something of mine have happened but never to this level. I've had my dog, Milo, who's 12, for her whole life. We grew up together and it's really hard for her to get to trust other people. She's always been an anxious girl, but she's the light of my life and was always by my side even on my worst days. Three years ago, I introduced my boyfriend to my family, which is just my mom and Milo. He and my mom get along okay, but he didn't acknowledge
Starting point is 00:01:17 Milo in any way, which is fine. I didn't expect him to be all over her considering she doesn't like that, but I still found it pretty strange because he said he absolutely loved dogs. And to be honest, I believe that because he would always pet dogs when we were outside. Any interactions for the past three years with her was limited, but Milo warmed up to him. She would greet him, go to him for pets, which he sometimes gave, and accepted him on our daily walks. One and a half years ago, Milo got sick. She had a tooth infection which was pretty bad. Her whole right eye was swollen shut.
Starting point is 00:01:52 I asked my boyfriend to take us to the vet because I don't have a car. The vet took care of the infection, gave me some antibiotics to give her every day, and instructions to clean the wound that was left after the vet cleaned the pus. For a couple of weeks, I didn't hang out that much with my boyfriend. I took care of Milo because she wasn't feeling great. One thing that stood out to me was the fact that he seemed pretty pissed every time I brought her up, talking about her progress. Looking back, that should have risen some red flags, but I guess I brushed it off.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Anyways, I planned with my mom to go on a short vacation to visit my grandparents. I was talking to my boyfriend about this trip, and I told him who would take care of Milo, my best friend Alex, a 23-year-old guy. My boyfriend then offered to take care of her. He was mad that I didn't come first to him, stating that he loves Milo and wants to go on walks with her. I reluctantly agreed, considering this love for her was out of the blue. The trip was supposed to last three days. On day two, I was talking with my boyfriend
Starting point is 00:02:50 on the phone and he casually says that Milo really likes to stay outside. For me, this felt off and I asked him what he meant. He left my sweet girl outside hours at a time alone and would check up on her hourly. Mind you, I live in an apartment and I don't have a backyard. Me and my mom left as soon as I told her and we arrived back home around 9pm. Since then, I blocked my boyfriend on everything and I've been searching for my girl. I printed posters, went out everyday for hours at at a time, and put her on Facebook groups around my area.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Now he and his friend group say that I'm the butthole because I put my dog above my boyfriend in all four years of our relationship. I know for a fact this isn't true, but I don't have anyone else to ask besides people that are really close to me and they'd be biased. There's an update, which I'm going to read in a minute, but the thing that really sticks out to me is OP doesn't seem to mention that the boyfriend helped to look for the dog. So did he just lose the dog and is like, okay, not my problem? Kind of seems like he intentionally lost the dog. Well, let's find out. Two days later, OP posted an update. My ex came today to get his stuff, and some of you might be happy for what you're about
Starting point is 00:04:07 to read, but he didn't get a single thing back. When he saw me, he started begging me to forgive him, and thanks to you again, I agreed to forgive him if he told me the truth. He just looked me straight in the face and said, If I'm gonna be honest, you won't forgive me. My heart broke all over again, thinking about the worst things. When he saw me cry, he told me I should get over it because she was already old, but if I really wanted her back, I should get back with him and when he'd trust me that I really
Starting point is 00:04:41 forgave him, I could see her again. What? I was exhausted, hopeless, and angered, and even though I wanted my girl back, I couldn't look at him, let alone be with him for however long he thought it took for me to forgive him. So he left, not telling me a single thing about Milo. I got a call some hours later, and on the other end was a lady who found Milo on the side of the road. She said that she would wait for me to come because when she tried to pick up the dog, she seemed to be in pain. When I got there and saw her laying there, all my emotions flooded me.
Starting point is 00:05:14 My sweet baby, even though she looked so different, was alive. She's now staying overnight at the vet. She has two broken ribs and is dehydrated. If everything goes well, she'll be home soon. I appreciate each and every one of you that took the time to guide me in this nightmare. Thank you again. I will be pressing charges. Hold on, so he dog-napped this lady's dog and held the dog hostage to force her into loving him? Yo, is this dude a psychopath? Oh, you kidnapped someone I love and are hiding them from me.
Starting point is 00:05:52 That makes me love you so much more. Come here for kisses. Muah, muah, muah, muah, muah. OP, you get zero out of five buttholes. I'm giving this guy, jeez, I'll say four out of five buttholes. 4.5? 4.5 out of 5 buttholes. 4.5? 4.5 out of 5 buttholes. Am I the butthole for treating my coworker differently after she accused me of sexual
Starting point is 00:06:12 assault when I saved her life? I'm a quiet guy and genuinely friendly. I treat all my coworkers as friends. About two months ago, during a work lunch, one of my coworkers started choking so I did the Heimlich thing to help her. After she was in the clear, and others cheered and I asked if she was alright. She just nodded and headed to the bathroom without a word, so I didn't think much about it.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Until two days later, I got called into HR for my inappropriate behavior. I was confused and asked for more details. That's when they told me that my coworker had filed a complaint stating that she felt that my touches when I was helping her were inappropriate. That my body was too close and she felt my privates touching her. I gave my statement and they put me on ice while they investigated further. After a week I was in the clear. I returned to working normally without fear, but I started distancing myself from the coworker. She tried to apologize, which I accepted, and tried to explain that she has to tell
Starting point is 00:07:15 me that she has trauma, but I still take precautions and I only treat her as just a colleague. I no longer talk to her unless needed to, always keeping distance, no longer inviting her out unless there are others. She could feel me being hesitant towards her and how I no longer treat her the same as others. She tried to say that I'm being ridiculous and petty, but I told her that I'm just looking after myself. Yo, you can't win with this woman. You save her life, you're the bad guy and she doesn't want to be around you. So you don't be around her and you're still the bad guy. And how is the Heimlich sexual assault? Unless you're like reaching around and squeezing her boobs honk honk.
Starting point is 00:07:54 I mean, I don't see how that would make her stop choking. You know, I have to assume OP did the Heimlich appropriately if it worked and the Heimlich is down underneath your ribs. You know what this reminds me of? There's a real this is a real actual person.. I'm gonna try and pull off her name here. She is from Siam. Her name is Sunanda Kumariratana and she was the queen consort, one of four wives of King Chulalongkorn. Damn, according to this she was 13 years old and she was a wife. Okay Well, the point of the story is she was a queen some member of royalty and it is forbidden for Peasant people to touch the queen So she started drowning and because it's forbidden to touch her everyone just stood around
Starting point is 00:08:39 Watching her drown and she died. Yo, I'm reading the rest of this lady's Wikipedia article. Listen to this. She was the daughter and 50th child of the Siamese king Monkut and the princess consort Piam. Yo, they had 50 kids at least minimum and oh man it gets worse. She was the half-sister and first wife of King Chunlalongkorn. Okay so that was an incestuous marriage. But it gets worse. The King's other two wives were her younger sisters. So this guy married three of his half-sisters. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:09:17 The point I'm trying to make is that if you want someone to save your life, you have to understand that they have to touch you to do so. Anyways, OP posted an update. Me and the coworker did have a talk with our colleagues nearby, and she agreed to just limited necessary contact related to work. I won't sue her because everything is resolved, and to be honest, it would just bring more problems while wasting money. I also received several DMs about people with similar experiences as me, which made me sad and relieved that I'm not the only one.
Starting point is 00:09:47 I also saw some comments about how I'm not considering and don't understand her trauma, which is fair. If you're harassed for real, then you should protect yourself, but I just hope that she came to me about her uncomfortableness since we've known each other for a couple of years. Alright OP, I'm giving you a rock solid zero out of five buttholes. You are in the clear, my friend. Also, possibly relevant context here is OP's username is I am gay deal with it. So it's possible that he's not even interested in this lady's body. Am I the butthole for kicking out my mom's boyfriend? When I was 17, my
Starting point is 00:10:24 mom came into money. She tried to keep it quiet, but she kicking out my mom's boyfriend? When I was 17, my mom came into money. She tried to keep it quiet, but she paid off my dad's debt, bought him a small house, paid off her debts, and paid for my sister's college and set up funds for mine. She had a boyfriend at the time, and shortly after, him and his son, who was 7, moved into our new house. Over the next few years, mom bought my sister a house after she graduated college. Her boyfriend lived with us and didn't pay for anything, but he did work. When I was 21, Mom got diagnosed with cancer. It wasn't good. She sat me and my sister
Starting point is 00:10:55 down and went over exactly how much money there was. She intended to give her current house to me and both me and my sister were left with a large sum at the end of it. She asked if I would allow her boyfriend to stay in the house with his son until he got his own place. I agreed. Before she died, she told her boyfriend that he would need to look for his own place but he had time to save more for that journey. For the last four years, he's continued to reside in the house with his son. I haven't minded because we get along okay. I pay all the bills, but he does buy food for him and his kid. He's dated off and on and mostly kept the women out of the house, which I respected him for. Until his current partner. She's been in my house three times. And at first, besides feeling a little uncomfortable, I was okay with her.
Starting point is 00:11:42 The last time this past weekend was the point where I lost my mind. I was making myself some lunch when she came walking downstairs. She grabbed a plate and went to grab food out of my pan. I asked her what she thought she was doing. She started telling me how I should look for somewhere else to live and leeching off of my dead mom's past relationship as an adult was pathetic. I hollered for my mom's old boyfriend, he came down, and I told him I didn't know what he thought was going on, but I wasn't going to be disrespected in my own house.
Starting point is 00:12:15 He wouldn't even look me in the eyes as he mumbled something about my mom promising him the house and he was just being kind by letting me stay. First, that isn't remotely true. Mom pulled him and I together after she asked if he could stay to set expectations. My mom met him shortly before she won the money and told him and us girls that she had no intention of leaving him money. She did set aside a fund for his son for college when he gets there, but he can't touch it. Only his son can. This guy has lived in the house almost eight years without paying a dime. He should have plenty of money, and if he doesn't,
Starting point is 00:12:50 that's on him. I told him he had 30 days to leave. I wasn't going to house someone who would lie and disrespect me in my house. He left that night with his son, but his ex-wife called to tell me that I'm cruel and a butthole for her son losing his house. He's here every other week. I really feel like my mom didn't expect him to still be here, but my sister said she feels like I'm breaking my promise to my mom and that made me feel like maybe I'm the butthole.
Starting point is 00:13:18 This dude got 8 years of rent free, mortgage free, bill free living. That is an absolute blessing. Assuming he had a halfway decent salary, he could easily save enough money to make a down payment on his own place, let alone just lease an apartment. So these crock-a-dolls do- oh, so I'm so sad. That's just him trying to manipulate you to get 9 years of mortgage free, rent free, bill free living. Don't fall for it, OP.
Starting point is 00:13:48 I'm giving the boyfriend 1.5 out of 5 buttholes. Am I the butthole for cutting off and exposing a friend who took advantage of a girl that I was in love with? I'm a 22 year old guy and I had a best friend, Jake, who's 23, who I thought was like a brother to me. We've been through everything together. College parties, road trips, even heartbreaks. But this, this is something I can't forgive. For years, I've had feelings for this girl, Emily who's 22. She was kind, smart and honestly one of the few people who saw me for who I really was. I never made a move
Starting point is 00:14:22 because I didn't want to ruin our friendship, and honestly, I never thought I had a chance. But Jake, he knew. He always knew. A few weeks ago, we were all at a party. Emily got too drunk. Way too drunk. I was the designated driver, so I stayed sober.
Starting point is 00:14:39 At some point in the night, I lost track of her, and when I asked around, I found out Jake had taken her upstairs. At some point in the night, I lost track of her and when I asked around, I found out Jake had taken her upstairs. I wanted to believe that he was just helping her out, but my gut told me something was wrong. The next day, Emily was distant, different. She wouldn't say what happened, but I could tell something was off. Then, last week, Jake and I were hanging out and he started bragging.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Bragging! Last week Jake and I were hanging out and he started bragging. BRAGGING. He said things like, bro, she was out of it, but she wanted it, you know? Like she didn't say no. And then he laughed. He laughed. I felt sick. I didn't say anything at first. Just let him keep talking while I secretly saved everything on my phone using ReClip.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Every disgusting detail. Every joke. Every time he brushed it off like it was nothing. And then I posted it. I uploaded the ReClip on my stories, my feed, everywhere. I captioned it, this is the guy you all call your friend. The fallout was instant. People started unfollowing him. Girls he had been with before started coming forward saying they had similar experiences. His job found out and last I heard, he got fired. But now people are saying I went too far, that I ruined his life and should have handled it privately, that even though he was wrong, I shouldn't have destroyed him like that. My own family is telling me that I acted out of anger and that I should have just cut him off instead of humiliating him.
Starting point is 00:16:09 So doesn't he deserve to be humiliated? So he can ruin the lives of multiple girls, but no one can ruin his life because his life is somehow sacrosanct and precious? OP, you get zero out of five buttholes. I'm giving Jake five out of five buttholes.
