Welcome to R-slash Am I the Devil, where OP almost murders his entire family and then gets upset that his wife isn't more supportive of him. Our next Reddit post is from R slash Guy Cry. I've never had a lot of direction or drive for things like money or objects. You could say that I'm a simple man.

I met my wife through a mutual friend that I was living with about 15 years ago. I had a falling out with the mutual friend, at which time my wife and I started bonding, partially over our shared trauma from losing this mutual friend. She's so smart and witty and driven. All the things that I'm not. I was attracted to her instantly and intensely. We've been inseparable since. Along the way, I've made mistakes. I gave a half-hearted marriage proposal, and I didn't help plan a lot of the wedding. I'm diagnosed with ADHD and have a really tough time with emotional intelligence and rejection sensitivity. This was never a problem until it was. We had a child together six years ago. He's perfect. My initial dad skills were not. She had postpartum, which I either didn't pick up on or wasn't related to me properly, but I'm not trying to

to relive past mistakes. She didn't feel supported, so she started creating distance from me. I was struggling as a husband and as a father with someone who was trying her hardest to continue to be a strong, independent woman while having me, half a man, and a young toddler. Lots of resentment built up. I may have taken a bit too much frustration out on my boy. This involved yelling, arm grabbing, and a lot of really, really rough bad times that have scarred me for life. and I'm sure they've affected him as well. When I asked for help from my wife, she said that she had to deal with it for many years when he was born,

and now it's my turn. She thought by not stepping in, I would just figure it out. I just recently figured it out after almost three years of nights like that. About nine months ago, we were having an argument while I was driving all three of us back home from somewhere, when I lost my cool and made a dangerous driving maneuver. I cannot defend my actions. They were bad and just overtly dangerous.

I would have been pulled over and charged with reckless driving, or worse, if a cop had been there. No one in my life has ever invoked that kind of rage in me, except my mom back when I was a teenager. That seems to have been the point of no return. I can't change my actions that I've already committed. Things haven't been the same since. She has no patience for me anymore, and any small infraction or she, show of mortality I show is grounds for trying to kick me out of the house. As she claims, she has no more patience for me, and she can no longer wait for me to be a better person. I'm effing broken,

my dudes. I cannot fathom leaving the house that we bought together and not spending every morning and night with my son. But I cannot change her mind, and the harder I try, and every time I think I've made some decent progress, she's there to knock me down a peg and remind me how much work I still have to do. I feel like I have no support, which is partially on me for not having any solid friendships throughout my 30s. I ask her to have more patience. I ask her to meet me in the middle, but she says she can't. She set her boundaries and is sticking to them. Occasionally we do the deed and cuddle, and it lulls into my false sense of comfort, and like things are getting better and will be okay one day. She told me today that it'll take years more work. I don't think I can live like this

for years upon years longer, but I also absolutely can't bear the idea of being away from my son. I'm incredibly torn up inside and just have no idea where to go from here. I was in a men's support group since January, but I effing hate it, and I hate the other guys in the group. I mean, I don't know what you want, O.P. Sympathy? Not for me. You nearly murdered your wife and son? And I mean, what, boo-hoo? You want me to pat you on the back and say it'll all get better? I hope she dumps you. Whoopsies! Almost killed you all, my bad. Tee-he! Whoops, whoops, oops.

I'm a 31-year-old woman, and my 25-year-old boyfriend Googled, Is my girlfriend a bully? And I'm a heartbroken. My boyfriend and I have very, very different styles of arguments. I had a pretty traumatic childhood. My dad's dead, and my mom doesn't like me. And I'm used to horrific arguments where people yell terrible things, and everyone shrugs it off.

My boyfriend, on the other hand, hasn't had much conflict in his life so far. He's also a fair bit younger than me. When we argue, I get very logical and rational, and honestly, I can be mean. But I don't get angry or shoddy. Except when he talks all over me, which is always. I argue more like a lawyer in court than his girlfriend. But I do make sarcastic comments like, nice to see you doing that for such and such when you wouldn't for me.

Or when he mentions how his parents divorced when he was two, too affected him. I can be like, oh, poor you, because like my dad killed himself and various other awful things happened. I know it's not a competition, but it drives me mad when he tries to excuse behavior at 25 with I was bullied at school or what-evs. I went on his Mac yesterday to change his background to something cute, which I've done a few times. I went to Google the picture I wanted and his previous search came up. Is my girlfriend a bully? I was horrified. So I know that I shouldn't have,

but I went into a search history to see when he Googled it, and he'd spent ages reading articles about abusive relationships and the signs of emotional abuse, even domestic abuse. I don't even shout! She writes with an exclamation mark, that's kind of funny. To top it off, a little while later, he jacked it to adult content. Nice. Obviously, I'm really upset.

Anyway, I confronted him immediately, and he said it wasn't about me. When we argue, he starts shaking immediately, and often our arguments end in him crying and saying everything is his fault. He has major self-hate issues, which he was getting therapy for, but stopped because of money. I've told him to start again. But anyway, he said that when we argue, he feels bullied, attacked, and in danger, and that his therapist said that he should look up abusive relationships to see, why he reacts that way. He claims he doesn't think that I'm abusive. But when I first said, you think I'm abusive, he said, you found my diary? So he said it there too, frowny face. I feel like

this might be a deal breaker for me. His reactions to my mean, but not at all abusive argument style makes me feel like a monster. And with my background, I'm just not sure that I can be with someone who has so little life experience that they think, oh, poor you, is abusive. But also, I'm feeling a bit of sunk cost fallacy creeping in. I don't massively want to start all over again. He's met my family, we lived together, I was single for ages before we got together. Is this worth breaking up over? And if not, what should I do?

Am I being unreasonable, or is he? I've booked us in for couples counseling in two weeks. But I'm going mad here. So if he just straight up admits that she's mean and kind of a bully, And then when her boyfriend is like, hey, you're mean and kind of a bully, what did you just call me? How dare you? Our next credit post is from R slash support for waywards. Real quick in this story, O.P uses the acronym BP, and I looked on the subreddit I couldn't find what that stands for.

I think BP stands for betrayed partner, as in it's a subreddit about cheaters. And so O.P is talking about the spouse that O.P. cheated on, I think. This may seem so backwards, but I'm looking for anyone's. insight. I've been trying to support my BP when they feel anxious or had a recent trigger. Here are some of the ways that I do this. Talking about their feelings, about the air or vibes, about what impact my actions may have had or my lack of action has had. Touch, usually on the head or backscratches. Hugging, making food for us, making a drink for us, watching TV together, time together, quiet time together, or alone. Encouraging them to play a game with a friend. My BP has been

struggling with bigger anxiety spikes for a couple of weeks now, and there's no direct cause. They just feel like we're often on the verge of a big fight, and they don't want to have one. In the past, they've asked me to help them clear the air, and I'm now looking for new ways to do this when the above fail. I'm exceptionally sensitive to when the vibes are off. I grew up in a home where I had to regulate the mood of my primary caregiver, and it meant that I would notice a heavy breath from upstairs and immediately do a risk analysis. of the emotional and physical landscape to predict what could happen. I would also instigate a flight or chaos because the tension of being on edge was too stressful.

It's well established that I also have a history of causing a fight to dispel the static that I feel between me and my BP. I'm exhausted. My nervous system cannot handle any more fights and I have to wear a night guard so I don't shatter my teeth in my sleep. I'm also under the weather this week with some type of cold, definitely not helping. I just want to feel peace, normalcy, and a bit of tender loving care. I know my BP is trying to get to a place where they can love me again, and this is exceptionally hard for them. Instead of causing a fight, I'm coming here to manage the anxiety that I'm absorbing from my

BP. I'm so emotionally fragile, and my jaw aches. Is anyone else going through this, or has gone through it, or have any suggestions on other ways to management? Oh no, the consequences of my actions! How could this have possibly happened to me? Since I'm such a kind partner, I do such things as watching TV with my partner

and hugging my partner. I'm basically the perfect partner. Why? Am I the butthole for telling my daughter to stop acting like I abandoned her? I have a 12-year-old daughter with my late wife. My wife passed suddenly when my daughter was two. I was not in a place to take care of a kid, so I gave her to my late wife's sister. My late wife's sister adopted her when she was three and a half,

and they moved to Europe shortly after the adoption. Around nine years ago, I remarried. My wife already had a son, and we have three kids together. My daughter used to come for two weeks every summer, but her visits have been inconsistent since 2020. She skipped visits, visits have been cut short, and my late sister-in-law is now saying that she won't send her this year due to the current administration. She's offered to get us discounted hotels if we want to visit. She manages a chain of hotels, but we would have to cover flights, food, and whatever the hotel would end up charging us. It's just not possible for a family of six in this economy.

I was talking to my daughter recently, and I told her that we wouldn't be able to visit because it was too expensive. I suggested that she talked to her aunt about visiting and reminded her that she won't have an issue considering she's a citizen. My daughter got mad at me because her aunt won't change her mind. Then she told me to come without my family. I tried to explain that this would be a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and I can't justify going without my wife and kids.

That's so ironic. Oh my God, the irony of that sentence. Plus, I just can't leave them for two weeks. Oh my God, O.B. She started crying about how I don't care about her and that I like my family more than her because I gave her away and not them. I told her to stop acting like I abandoned her.

I didn't drop her off at a fire station or hospital. I gave her to a relative who was willing and able to take care of her. I also reminded her that this situation with visiting is just as much, if not more, her aunt's fault than mine. So if she has a problem, she needs to bring it up to her aunt. Now my daughters blocked me, and I can't get her aunt to respond to my calls or messages. My wife says that I may have been a little harsh.

Am I the butthole for telling her to stop acting like I abandoned her? O.P. has literally been out of this girl's life for nine years. And then he says, I can't leave my kids for two weeks. Are you out of your mind? Are you nuts? I would miss them too much. I just love new cute little faces. That's brutal. That's got to be just absolutely rip your heart out of your chest,

painful for any 12-year-old girl to hear. I really feel bad for this. this little girl. Here's what I want to know, O.P., if you were mentally in a place that you were able to get married and have more kids, why were you not in a place where you were mentally able to take care of your daughter? It kind of seems to me, if I'm being honest with you, that O.P. wanted to get rid of his daughter so that he could, you know, go date and be a single bachelor with no strings attached and, you know, not have to deal with, oh, this is my daughter, I hope that doesn't affect your willingness to sleep with me.

Man, it feels, that felt gross to say. That made me feel icky inside. Our next Reddit post comes from R-slash neoliberal. Why does firefighting as a service currently only exist as a regional monopoly when it's possible multiple providers could exist and provide coverage to the same area at the same time? And compete against each other to innovate and ensure the best firefighting service to consumers. There are already some examples of existing subscription-based private firefighting,

such as rural metro, so it's not untested in the real world. For the counter arguments, people don't have time to shop when there's an emergency. They shop for coverage before they get an emergency, like insurance. What if they never subscribe to any sort of coverage? Does their house just burn down? The government could force firefighters to respond to non-subscribers anyway, like how it is with emergency health care. Okay, down to the comments, people are talking about crasses.

And if you don't know, okay, I would, was going to make this point anyway. I'm glad that the rest of Reddit is already aware. But if you don't know, Crassus was this really awful Roman general back during the, you know, Roman Empire. And he had this fire brigade, this private fire brigade of made up of slaves, mind you, so he's like doubly a butthole. But whenever a house would catch on fire, he and his team would rush to the burning house. And then instead of putting out the fire, they would just stand there and watch it burn until the homeowner agreed to sell them the property at like, you know, five cents on the dollar. Ah, it's too bad that that a house of yours worth a million dollars or whatever

is going up in flames, you could watch it burn, or you could sell it to us for, let's say, $10,000. Eh, what do you think? It was very profitable and also very evil.
