Hello, friends. I just want to say that merch is officially launched. I'm sure you're sick of seeing us in these sweatshirts already, but I'm completely obsessed with them and all of the other items. Oh my God, I smooshed the trigger hat. But I think everything is adorable, and I just want to make sure you all know that it's out. You're like, shut up, Morgan.

We know, we know, but seriously, I'm obsessed with this drop. It's one of the ones I've put the most heart and soul into. This drop started as a drawing, and it turned into this beautiful collage. The whole what's in the box thing is only a thing because of you guys making it one along with us, and Justin's enthusiasm for it. I'm really, really excited for this one. It feels like it's truly becoming a community, and I'm hoping for the day I walk out in public, and I see someone in a Two Hot Takes sweatshirt, a hat, using the bag, drinking out of a tumbler.

That will be probably one of the happiest days of my life. I just wanted to let you guys know that the merch is out, and enjoy the episode with Lore DIY. Here we go. We're ready. We're ready now. I feel like I'm sitting with my little twin today. We're both crafty bitches.

Yes. We both have imposter syndrome. Heavily. We both like magic. I have tickets for the Magic Castle. We should actually go sometime. Stop. Yeah.

Wait, what does that mean? Do you have a membership, or do you just have a date that you're going? I have a magician that sent us passes, and I haven't rebooked it yet because it's kind of hard to get in. You have to book months in advance. That was my last COVID, pre-COVID activity. We actually celebrated my birthday there, and then the next weekend, LA was shut down. Honestly, though, kind of a good way to go out.

It was a really good time. Yeah. Can't regret that. It was your last fun thing. I kind of regret how drunk I got at the end. My friend Lauren, she inserted herself in the show, which was amazing. It was so crazy, but she was so smashed. She literally flipped herself in the chair, and they were like, I was borderline.

We're going to get the band. Kicked out. Yeah. We're going to get the band. What did you wear? A really cute little cocktail dress, off the shoulder, black one. No, I wore a sparkly one that time. It's really fancy.

It's super fancy. High situation. Yeah. My friend was really upset because they asked her to wear a scarf as a skirt because she wore a romper, and she had already worn it there for brunch. Okay. She was like, I know it's good. I know it's going to be fine, but then when she got in there, that's not dressy enough.

Oh my God. They made her tie a scarf. It literally looked like a big napkin, like a black, sheer one, which obviously is more formal than the romper, than your giant napkin skirt. It actually didn't look bad, but still, it just crushed her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. She was upset the rest of the night, but I was like, I don't care.

It's my birthday. I'm having a good time. It's about you. It's about me on that day. That's my day. Hi, guys. Welcome back to another episode of Two Hot Takes. Today, I'm joined by Lauren Riamaki.

Nailed it. Yes. Nailed it. Otherwise known as Lauren DIY. A little crafty queen. You have your show on HBO. I do. Such a flex.

Honestly, so crazy. When people, because I've been on the internet for a really long time, like 10 years, and so when people are like, oh, you fell off, like it's nice to have that one thing, you can be like, okay, but like, okay, but like, here's this one thing that I do that's kind of cool. I'm on HBO. So come on, people. We had two seasons.

So even if I got canceled after two seasons, it's better than having just one season. And so it's my safety blanket of one cool accomplishment that I've done. That's amazing. It's so cool. I wanted to watch some episodes because I can still watch it if I have the Macs app right? Yeah. That's all it is.

I think regular HBO is just like gone now. Oh my gosh. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know how to use cable. We like don't have cable. So I only know how to use the app. I know.

Well, I canceled my app after like Game of Thrones was done. So I like, I need to like re-get it again. But you're into crafts and you also have your podcast, Wild Till Nine. I do. So my theme for you today is all things wild. Like these stories are just going to be wild. Oh my God. I'm so excited.

Okay. Well, let's dive in. Okay. So up first, we have am I the asshole for canceling dinner when my boyfriend brought a bell to the diner to grab the staff's attention. This might sound bad, but I don't know if I was the asshole here. I female 30 have been dating my boyfriend, Rhett male 31 for four months. We live in a different town and he's not from here.

He's American living here. He usually visits on the weekends. This time I decided to visit his town and eat out at a diner. Rhett was already there when I arrived to the diner. We talked some, checked the menu. Then when it was time to order, he pulled a small bell out of his jacket pocket, lifted it up and started shaking it. It produced a loud, annoying sound.

My ears actually started hurting. I was so confused. I asked what he was doing and he said that he was trying to get one of the waiter staff's attention. I said it was embarrassing and he should stop right then, but he kept shaking it. I cannot to begin to explain the looks we received from everyone. I demanded him to stop, but he said not till someone came and took our order. I threatened to leave the place and cancel dinner if he wouldn't and he kept doing it.

Someone came already, but I'd already gotten up, took my purse and started making my way out. He followed me and started arguing about walking out, but I told him that I couldn't take being embarrassed by him and he got upset and said that he didn't get why I thought the bell was embarrassing. Explain that it was a perfect solution for no longer being forced to wait till someone shows up. I asked if it was acceptable to do this in America and he said yes because it's a free

country and people there usually don't give a shit, but I said it's inappropriate and embarrassing here. He said I was being too sensitive and overreacted over nothing. He insisted we go back inside, but I refused. We ended up leaving. He kept on about how he ruined dinner by canceling it and offending him, but acting like his behavior is shameful. I said I had a right to give an opinion on what he's done even if he thought what he

was doing, but he basically told me to get off my high horse and stop calling his genius idea embarrassing. He's been sulking for days now and wanting an apology. Maybe I overreacted. Maybe it's nothing where he lives, but it's just unacceptable. Oh my God. I would have ran away. Oh my God.

I have so many thoughts. That is revolting. Disgusting. Disgusting. I'm Canadian, so I feel like that's where this is. I feel like this is just the way they describe he's from America, but goes back and forth. I feel like this is how it sounds. To go back and forth, it'd probably be somewhere-ish close.

Either way, I don't think that there's a single country where that is acceptable. No. Also, I served and I was a waitress for three or four years. If someone dinged a bell at me, I would shove that bell right up their asshole. There is just no chance that that is acceptable anywhere. I think everyone should be required to work in the service industry. I completely agree. I think it gives you character and makes you a more empathetic person.

Just humbles you real fast. Oh my God. She needs to dump him. I would have spent his food if I was working. Also, I feel like it's half and half of some people who are- and I feel like you maybe do too- have restaurant anxiety where if something in my order is wrong, I'm just like, no, it's fine. I'll just eat it.

I'll just eat it. Sending things back is my worst nightmare. It depends on what it is. I'm so bad. I was a server forever too. I started server known and I was 15 and served all the way till I was done with college. I was a long time. If it's little stuff where I'm like, you don't need to send it back, but can I just get that

fixed? Yes. But when I go out to eat with my mom, I'm just sitting there. I'm so embarrassed. Some of the stuff she'll send back or do- I'm like, mom, just leave the poor server alone. But she would never ring a bell like this. This is so bad. It also makes me wonder that if he's got that entitled of an attitude in somewhere that's

so public, imagine the entitled attitude that he might have just at home in the privacy of their own home. Imagine he rang a bell at her to bring him breakfast in the morning. Oh, I could see it. Can I fucking imagine? I could absolutely see it with this one. There's quote two. What does he say here?

Yes, because it's a free country and people there usually don't give a shit. Oh my God. I'm getting really weird vibes from him. I feel like I already know where he stands politically just by his comment. Yeah, yeah. It's a free country. Yeah, it's a free country, but it doesn't give you the invitation to treat people like shit.

Like actual shit. It's so bad. Oh my God. So was there a follow? Did she stay with the guy? So there is no update. Okay. Okay.

There are some comments. Yeah. What do other people think? I just can't imagine to have a person that'd be like, yeah, this is really cool and okay. Yeah. I don't get it. Well, his sulking after two. So someone points out like, not the asshole, the sulking for days behavior is a serious

red flag. Yeah. I totally agree. And she's like, yeah, it's also unbearable. I'm from America. He is an asshole. If that was okay, every table would have a bell. No one would go because it would be so loud and obnoxious.

Get away from this guy. That's so true. Also like if that was a thing and okay, like sometimes like at deli counters, they do have the little bell. Yeah. Like sometimes they're like working in the back, like chopping up like a fucking cow or whatever. You know what I mean?

And like that's the only time where it's okay. And you get to hit the bell once, like you get one day and they've allowed you to do that thing. And that's the only time that a thing is okay. I've, yes, if a bell is provided, ding away. Ding away. Bringing your own bell. Free to ding.

Do not ding. Do not. Do not bring your own bell. Like I don't know how she kept her composure so well. I think like a big thing for me too is watching how like when you go on a first date with someone, watching how they treat the service, like staff or a server, whoever is helping them. Like that is like an either like turn on or turn off for me.

100%. So like they're four months in. Like you, you're seeing your true colors and like get out. Get out now. Yeah. Yeah. Cause they probably treat everyone in the service industry like a grocery store cashier, like literally anyone in the service industry, like with such a level of entitlement.

Oh my God. What an ick. That's like ultimate red flag and ick. Yeah. It really is. So the top comment, I asked if it was acceptable to do this in America and he said yes because people there usually don't give a shit. American here, no it's not.

And yes, we would. That's incredibly rude and beyond inappropriate. You are not the asshole and your boyfriend is a rude, entitled asshole who would be thrown out of most restaurants in the US for this sort of behavior. That's so true. I never even thought about that. I've seen people thrown out for less. It's same.

100%. Like especially out here in LA, the dress codes, just go, yeah, here's your napkin skirt or get the fuck out. Yeah, literally the magic asshole thing. I had a friend that had to like coat check his hat once. Oh yeah. Cause he was like, and it was like, it was a restaurant downtown, it was like the standard hotel.

Oh yeah. They had to buy during the day. That's kind of like, that's a lot. They had him coat check his hat. That's a lot. They also make him pay for it. Yeah. Yeah, I was going to say, like here's like your $10 hat check.

It was $10. Yeah. That's the most LA shit I've ever heard. Well, he was visiting me from Minnesota and I was just like, this is not how it typically is. I'm so sorry. You're like, I'm so sorry for this like really like bougie pretentious shit. Moment.

Yeah. Someone else goes, someone who considers them servants and not servers. True. Yeah. That's a hundred percent. Like some like down to Abbey shit, like ring your bell, ring your bell. It's like, okay. He thought that he was a king from Game of Thrones in the 1800s.

Literally. Asshole. Oh my God. When I hear stuff like that, I'm like, I can't believe like, it just is such a reminder that there are some real fuck up people out in the world. Yeah. Well, and also like, why, why are you still like, why are you questioning yourself too? In my head, I'm like, also, who are his friends and family that have allowed him to become

this person? Like he was what? 31? It said? Yeah. Like how did he get to 31 in life? And he still is like, yeah. I'm going to, here's my, here's my good old trusty restaurant bell that I bring everywhere

with me. I know. I wonder if that was his first attempt at it to like try to impress her. Imagine. Like, oh, I'm visiting you. Like this is how it's done in my country. The delusion. Oh my God.

It's embarrassing. It's, it's quite embarrassing, which so is this next one. I'm so excited. It's great. It like, it's just such a reminder that there really is a whole gamut of people out in the world. It's wild out there. Literally.

Am I the asshole for ruining my wife's work and eating the food before she could take pictures of it? Oh my God. My wife runs a website dedicated for cooking and recipes. She takes pictures of food before we eat, whether it's lunch or dinner and posts them on her Instagram account. To be honest, I'm annoyed by having to wait so long for her to get the perfect shot of the food after decorating it, adding this fork and removing that salad dish.

It just takes so long and I lose my appetite from just waiting until she's done. This has become the norm, but yesterday I decided I was having none of it. I came to found that she had cooked an entire feast for her quote next cooking project and put it on the table. But by that looking at the whole table setting, I figured pictures had already been taken, right? But no, she said she was going to take a few pictures and I had to wait. She went upstairs to get her camera.

That's when I grabbed the spoon and started filling my plate from every dish she made and ruining the look as a result. I was hungry and unwilling to wait for around 10 plus minutes to eat. She came downstairs, saw the damage and blew up almost crying saying I just ruined her cooking project that she worked hours for as well as putting efforts into. I said I was hungry and couldn't wait, but she kept yelling how much of an obnoxious jerk I was for not waiting until she took pictures of the dishes she made. Even said that this was an attempt for me to sabotage her success.

I said, oh please enough with those conspiracy theories, I'm just hungry and couldn't wait till she got the perfect shot. I made a big argument and she went upstairs crying. I finished my food, then went out to cool off for a bit. When I returned, she'd threatened that she'll never have me eat anything she cooks and said she'd rather throw it in the garbage than give it to an ungrateful obnoxious jerk like me. I said this wasn't cool, but she told me to go fuck myself.

I said fine, then went to spend the night in the guest room. She texted me the word jerk about 15 times till I turned off my phone. Today she has gone complete radio silence, am I the asshole? Motherfucker, you are 100% the asshole, are you kidding? I mean like, one, I love, I also like, am I like, should I start texting people jerk just like 15 times over, like love that? Yeah. Love the pattiness.

Very aggressive energy that I'm here for. Aggressive energy. It's well deserved. But I think like just like overall, he obviously doesn't have any respect for what she does. None. Like literally none, especially to an obviously like he doesn't elaborate on what they're like half and half, maybe financial situation is like, but it's like, if that's her full time job, then it's like, you should be grateful for a single dish that she allows you to eat.

Yeah. Because like I have a friend who, that's like her main thing is that she does like all the cooking content and a lot of the time she just like sends it home with friends or like donates it or whatever it is and like her boyfriend never expects that it's for him. Like he's like, this is her job and like, oh there's leftovers, great, but he doesn't go into it with the expectation of like, she's cooking this for me. It's like, buddy, you're fucking reality check. Like that ain't for you.

No, this is her livelihood. That's why I kind of picked this one because I was like, it's so relatable. It's kind of like any, any job, like this is literally her job. She runs a website dedicated for cooking and recipes, which like literally sounds like what you're describing like your friend, Remy, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Cooking with Remy. Yeah. So it's like, you don't know like how invested she is in this. Like this literally could be her full time job, her livelihood. So like she probably spent hours cooking, like cooking this. Oh my God. It's no easy task. Are you kidding?

I'm on a meal plan and I live off postmates. Like I have so much respect for people who can like whip up a whole feast. It's incredible. So the fact that he literally purposefully, like she said, it wasn't even an accident where he was like, I thought she was done. Intentional. It was so deliberate and intentional that it's like, I think her texting him jerk 15 times is honestly an underreaction.

Should have been 20. Maybe 50. This is just, it's so rude. And I just like envision like the same thing with you and your crafts. Like it's, it literally would be like you doing like the DIY YouTube clothes or whatever it is. And then someone just coming in and splashing paint all over it. Right.

Or being like, Hey, I'm going to go wear this and eat spaghetti. You know what I mean? Like that's like the same energy. I also think too, like I have more understanding and empathy because I feel like you hear of significant others, boyfriends, whatever it might be of an influencer who's like at brunch and like just wants to like take a picture of the food before they eat. Cause like I have a hundred percent been like, babe, like don't touch your latte. Like I just want to do like a quick Instagram story.

Cause there's a cute like little leaf on the top of it. That's adorable. And it's like, I give myself 60 seconds to do that. And we have like an understanding that like I would never make him wait like like a long time to get an Instagram story because like I'm not a fucking food blogger. There's no reason that I should be staging a whole photo shoot at the table of like a casual lunch. Like there's just no reason.

And so like I understand when the significant other of an influencer gets impatient in like those moments because others are just like, that's just like for funsies. Like it's not. Yeah. Yeah. And there should be like a mutual understanding that there's like a certain amount of time that's like acceptable. But like that's an entirely different situation.

I completely agree. But also like, what does he say she, he has to wait around 10 minutes. I like boo fucking who just go, you know, Salty and Cracker, if you're really starving, like I can't Salty and Crackers on the way here. I love Salty and I live off them. But it's like, you can't tell me you don't have like one snack in your house that where like you're starving, you're going to die waiting 10 minutes. It's going to ruin your appetite.

Like you can't tell me you don't have one little snack that you can just take a nibble of to tie you over. Also like welcome to 2022. We do have microwaves. If your food needs a little, a little, like a little warming, you're going to survive. Yeah. That's nice. I think that I would break up with him.

Like I know that she wasn't like, like, should I, it was more like, should I forgive him? Am I the asshole? Yeah. But like if he doesn't respect what you do and like so much of your career takes up so much of your life. Yeah. And if he doesn't respect that, that's like him not respecting the majority of like what you do.

Well, and they're married. Oh, they're married? They're married. So it's like you, like unless this is a recent thing, but like even so like be supportive. Like this is your wife. Right. So not only does she like probably financially like contribute to the relationship, but also if she cooks you all of your meals, you better sit your ass down and be appreciative.

I know. I want him to like, I want to message him and find out what the name of the account is so I can go toss her a follow. I know, right? The foodie account. I'm so here for it. Top comment on this one. You're the asshole.

What the actual fuck sounds like this is her job or at minimum an important hobby. Keep a lunchable in a juice box in the fridge. You child for when you need to act like a child. Amen. Amen. Yeah. That's some top comment with 60 math here. I'm half to round.

Oh my God. 69,000 up. 69,000. Yeah. It like brings me a level of comfort to know when people can all come together and agree when someone's being an asshole. Yeah. That's why I love it.

Like overall vote is asshole. So everyone was just like right on the money. We're on the same page. They called them out. Yeah. I'm going to see if there's any updates. There are no updates, no comments even from OP being like, okay, I get it. I messed up, but 11 days ago, so I'll keep my eyes peeled.

It's always so interesting when people like that, like, I feel like you see the opposite perspective of like her maybe like leaving the comment and like wanting reinforcement and everyone's like, yeah, like what the fuck, like he is the asshole. Yeah. Like he goes to leave that post and he's looking for the reinforcement and it's like, what is wrong with you? He literally wanted people to be like, yeah, waiting 10 minutes to eat. That's so rude.

Yeah. Oh my God. Like, no, like I would never stand for that. He, I think he was looking for like, what's that? He's looking for backup. Yeah. What's that account? It's like influencers in the wild.

Yes. Where it's just like dissing people for like making content. Making content in public spaces and like some of it it's like, no, like admire that person's confidence to like do a full on TikTok dance in the middle of the street of the street, a fairy, whatever. There's one that I saw though, where was this like woman and this girl was like sitting at this table eating, but it was like by a window and this lady comes up and like the mic would be this girl and she's like taking, taking pictures out the window and the girl

is like sitting there like trying to eat and she's just like, what is happening? That's uncomfortable. That's uncomfortable. This is like, this is not, this is so acceptable and just this dude is delusional. I honestly have like public photo taking anxiety because of influencers in the wilds. Because if I end up on that account, like I will have to quit my job, like that'll just be the end. Like I'll have to not be an influencer tomorrow if I end up on influencers in the wilds.

I had an experience and I thought I was, I thought I was literally going to end up on that. I was in Chicago at Lollapalooza and my boyfriend, being in music, he had these like special passes through his like whatever that we got this like private little drink area. And so there was like this really cool wall and it was like almost like a, like a printout wall. Like it just had a step and repeat. I don't, I'll pull up my Instagram picture and like, if you're watching on YouTube, I'll

insert the Instagram I have from it. But it was like this really cool like art background wall that like, almost like Coachella, like you want to take a picture in front of the art installations and like you're at this festival. I flew from LA to Chicago. I'd never been to Lollapalooza. Like it was just a really fun time for me. So it was me and my boyfriend and I had him take like some pictures of me and I like like

rapid fire. I like just having my options. I go through the math. Yeah. 300 options. Yeah. And so I like take a couple and go check. I'm like, oh, let me just, let me fix this.

I just really didn't like that. And so I go back and we take some more and there's this group of people that are sitting there and snickering at me. And they're like, I remember when I was an Instagram influencer and I'm like, I would sob. I literally like, I go sit in the grass after and I'm just like, I hate people like that though. Also too, like when there's, okay, one, you're at like a public event where there's like

specifically art put into the environment because they want it to have the exposure of being on social media, like, oh, I just hate that energy so much. It makes me so self-conscious. Yeah. And it was so bad. But then on the flip side, like I went to Coachella and like Revolve Fest, like I magically got in there somehow and the energy there is the total opposite. Like everyone is like, yes, girl, get that shot.

Yes. Oh my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like everyone's so about it. And I'm just like, so I just need that energy. I know. I love that energy. I actually remember that same thing.

They had so many specific like photo areas too because they, they know, yeah, the Ferris wheel, the carousel, the flower, the flower, hail, yes. And everyone like is so respectful. Exactly. They're like, yes, girl, get it. They wait their turn and they wait their turn. Oh, like that is the energy that we need, especially just like, you know that everyone there is a content creator and I just, there's such a stigma of it being cringy and yeah,

this guy is like perpetuating that. Yeah. And I just take my bit being cringy and it sucks because like it's such like an actual career path. And when you ask kids now like in school or what do you want to be when you grow up, everyone's like, I want to be a YouTuber. I want to be a gamer. I want to be a streamer, a content creator and Instagrammer.

And so like, I don't know. I'm so over it being like looked down upon. I, yes. And like, I think it's so amazing like for kids to have that idea versus like non-traditional stuff and like embrace their creativity. Like there's that one little kid that's on YouTube that just reviews toys. Ryan? What do you, he made like 23 million one year didn't he?

He's just one of the richest YouTubers like in the world. Yeah. And so it's like dream big kiddos like seriously or even like if you want to go have a traditional job but you also like want your like, like content creator side hustle, go do that. I know. Go get your little, your little coin on the side. I know. I am.

I had a lady I worked with at the hospital that I used to work at and her daughter was like four and she's like, yeah, she wants to be a YouTuber. I'm like, I'm like, I'm not a YouTuber. I just like have my podcast on YouTube. But there's my imposter syndrome. But I was like, let me help you. Like let's get her set up, like look at the toy kid. Yeah.

I don't think she's on it yet. So. Okay. Give her a few years. I know. Give her a few years. She'll be there. I hope so.

Am I the asshole for being obnoxious when my mother-in-law showed me pictures of my husband's exes pretending we were playing Smash or Pass? My mother-in-law doesn't like me very much, I don't think.

I was visiting her for the holidays and she was showing me a book of pictures of my husband. I feel like she doesn't care for me and purposefully looks for things to make me insecure. She showed me a page with a couple pictures of my husband and other girls. All very couple-y photos, a prom photo, a picture of him kissing a lady, and a picture of him on a boat with a different lady in his lap. And she made a comment saying that his first girlfriend was so pretty and also a Christian. As a joke, I said, Smash, pointing to one of the pictures, then at another, Pass, and at another, Smash.

And she was like, what? And I was like, wait, what was the game, Smash or Pass? And she again goes, what? All confused. I said, quote, oh, were we not playing Smash or Pass? She asked what that is and I said, oh, it's a game where you decide if people are hot. Like if you think they're hot enough, you'd sleep with them, you say Smash, and otherwise you say Pass.

I figured that's what you were doing for talking about how hot that chick is. She said that she didn't understand and I was like, come on, it's fun. She said that it was really inappropriate of me and I said it was just a bit of fun. She got frustrated and asked if I was serious. I said, oh, not literally, like I'm not trying to actually sleep with anyone. I thought we were just talking about who's hottest. She said that was really wrong of me and I said that I thought she was trying to gossip about which of his exes were hot and which are not from what she said.

She slammed the photo book shut and called me childish, which is fair. Like I kind of stole the joke from TikTok after all. Am I the asshole for being obnoxious about my mother-in-law showing me pictures of his exes? I mean, that's hysterical. I love this one. I love it. That's hysterical and I don't think she is the asshole.

Honestly, that sounds like something that I think is totally appropriate. I agree. What were her intentions of showing her all these pictures and being like, she's so hot and she's a Christian? My boyfriend's mom on the first time that I ever spent a day with her, we also went from zero to 100. I'd never met her and then she came and saved us for six days. It was like a lot.

It was like a lot. On one of our first days, we were at lunch and I wasn't raised religious whatsoever. She asked me if I had grown up in a church and Jeremy just, my boyfriend just like fucking left me out to dry and he just like took a step back and just like watched the whole thing unfold because she's pretty Christian. Yeah. Then she made a comment about how she just wanted to raise a specific political party and a good Christian boy.

Oh God. The whole thing, I was like, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah, this is, yeah, it was just so uncomfortable. I mean, Jeremy just stood there and enjoyed the whole thing. In those scenarios, not that my boyfriend's mom is like this whatsoever, but I definitely have heard stories where there's horror stories of mother-in-law is not being happy with the choice or being really hung up on one of their son's old girlfriends that they thought that they should have been with.

That sucks. That sucks for her that she'll have to deal with that dynamic for the rest of her marriage. That sounds like a mother-in-law from hell. You know that she did some petty shit at their wedding. You know that she did petty shit just all throughout their ... I'm just picturing her going to shop for her wedding dress and extending graciously the invite to the mother-in-law. She comes and makes petty comments and shit the entire time. That's the dynamic that I'm picturing.

I could see that 100%. I think too, it really speaks a lot. They are married. Signed, sealed, delivered. Yes. Case closed. Give it up. Give it up, lady.

What's the intention? What's the intention? What's the intention? For what? For what? For what? For what? Why?

I feel bad. I think that she played that perfectly because she went off of the mom's lead. She wasn't like, let's play smash or pass Cathy. You know what I mean? She was going off of what the mom was saying of how hot someone was. Did she just expect her to be like, oh my God, yeah, she's so pretty. Oh my God, yeah, she's so pretty. Oh my God, she's so pretty the whole time.

I wish she would have ended up with her. What were you looking for? For what? I hope she felt stupid. I think this is honestly the best way she could have handled it. I really hope she just felt so silly. I think there's a high chance too that their relationship will never be ideal. So I think her being able to have a little hearted moment out of it is probably her best

coping method to survive that dynamic. It is really, I can't even imagine that passive-aggressive, like bring out the photo book and not even passive-aggressive. That's just fucking aggressive. That's just aggressive. Show me the baby photos. Show me the baby photos. That makes sense.

Show me the awkward puberty 13-year-old stage. Show me that. Let's laugh at that. Also, I think it's so weird. Even the pictures she picked, she picked one that had a girl sitting on her son's lap. That sounds really intimate. Also, why do you still have that photo? I get having prom photos.

I get having your semi-formal photos because that's a moment in time. I get that. My parents still have those probably somewhere in a photo album, but intimate photos of you on vacation with another girl on your son's lap. I don't know. I don't know. Something's just not mathin' over here. The math ain't mathin'.

It's not. It's something's off, maybe a little bit of emotional incest or something. I don't know. There's a lot to unpack. There's a lot to unpack there. Top comment, not the asshole. Next time, bring a photo album of all your exes and go through them with her. Oh, here's Mark.

You know what was great about him? He didn't have a mother showing me photos of his exes. Too shy. Yeah. Too shy. That's good. That's absolutely good. I approve that.

I think it's a good coping technique and I support it. Someone else goes, make sure to point at the least conservative looking one and say, quote, she was definitely not Christian. You and my boyfriend Justin had the same experience the first time he really met my mom. All is well now. I think she realizes he is like, signs he'll deliver. Yeah. I don't want to use God's gift.

I'm like, I don't know. What's the saying where it's like, but he's like, better than buttered toast or like ... I don't know if I know that one. Oh, sliced bread? Yeah. Sliced bread. The bread one. I think it's the new invention of like how ...

What's that saying? What is that? We're having like brutal bread metaphors happening right now. Yeah. Better than sliced bread. Best thing since sliced bread. Best thing since sliced bread. Yeah.

That's it. Alex over there saving the day. Yeah. That one. He's great. Last summer, we have like an old farm and we have like a 100-year-old barn on our property and me and him like patched up all the wood, like living right there with a saw. Oh my God.

DIYing it ourselves. Yeah. It was crazy and like painting it and we got on this like big tractor thing and my brothers are very capable of helping and they sat there drinking on the sidelines, like just sitting there watching us with a beer. Right. As your boyfriend's like slaving away. Good job guys.

I mean, my mom literally looks at him and she's like, I'm so grateful for you. And that's the moment that he became the best thing since sliced bread. There we go. Just wrapping it up there. We got there. We got there. We got there. What's up everybody?

Well, thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Okay. Up next. My girlfriend,24 female and I,27 male, have been together for three years for as long as I can remember she's obsessed with astronauts and NASA shirts. Her dream job isn't even to be an astronaut. She just thinks they're incredibly aesthetic and loves planets and admired astronauts. The issue is, it makes her look incredibly smart when she reveals the admiration to other people

and the fact that it's childish to be this into NASA and astronauts and not have it as a dream job. I have no issues with that particularly other than the fact that my girlfriend is absolutely terrible at math due to ADHD. So even if she were to be involved in NASA, she'd suck at it. It's an ongoing joke with my girlfriend

that she's terrible at math and we have a laugh about it. The other day we were banging out our mutual friends. My reading errors today are hilarious. The other day we were hanging out with our mutual friends and she showed them pictures of her new NASA slash astronaut themed bedsheets that I had no knowledge of, her even buying. I lost it there.

I told her to stop being so obsessed with NASA and astronauts and it makes her look childish when it's not actually her dream job and to stop wasting her money on things like that. She looked shocked and got up and left. She hasn't responded to my texts or calls in nearly 24 hours

and I don't want to show up at her apartment. My friends are telling me I fucked up but I felt like she needed a reality check. Am I the asshole? I think he's kind of shitting on a pretty harmless like interest. Yes. And also like you can be appreciative of something.

It's like it's not her fault that she's shitting at math. I suck at math. I suck at math. Math is hard. Math is fucking hard. And like the amount of people, like the tiny amount of people who are experts in the level of math

that you need to be an astronaut is like so tiny. So like... Miniscule. Miniscule. And so it's like if she wants to be into NASA and it's not hurting anyone, like I could see if you shared a house and maybe like you don't necessarily want

the NASA bedsheets. Like I can see there being a conversation there that maybe you want something a little more neutral. But if she wants to like have an astronaut Lego set, Lego set. I'm trying to think of like other things that could like be in the room that are like not so like in your face,

but it seems like a really harmless, a harmless interest. It's so dumb. And it's like the sheets. Like who's going to see your sheets besides you? Yeah, truly. If they make her happy, like shut up. Yeah.

Like I know you, you have a thing for plushies. Oh yeah. I was just thinking that it's like squishmallows and like the amount of naps that my boyfriend has taken on a squishmallow that's on the couch. Like they're elite pillows, harmless. And now he like kind of enjoys them. Yeah.

That's like this. It's like the same thing. It's like, who is it hurting? Yeah, exactly. Like why does it bother you so much that she finds happiness in one small little thing? And NASA like apparel, like it's, I have a NASA sweatshirt.

Oh my God. Are you kidding? It's like everything on Urban Outfitters. Like it's like, that's just like a trendy like logo right now too. Everywhere. It's like making such a comeback. It's just everywhere.

So it's like, I feel like he's being kind of manipulative too when he is obviously like, when he talks about how she's too stupid and she'd be a really bad astronaut because she's not smart enough. Like there's something weird and deeper going on where he's trying to belittle her almost.

You know what I mean? Like because he's mad at this interest because she's not smart enough. Like I just don't understand like why he needs to put her down in, it's one thing to be like, oh, I, or like, you know, if a guy's really obsessed with video games,

like girls are like, I'm annoyed that he's obsessed with this thing that I don't understand. Like that's common, but for him to also put her down just like in her intelligence is like really shitty. But you what, like what are the qualifications for being

a fan of something? Like do you have to meet certain qualifications? Like it's just, it's weird to me. I mean, it's, this is like, she's even obviously more interested and has much more knowledge

than like if I wear a band tee. I'm wearing a Harley-Davidson. Do I have a motorcycle shirt? Fucking no. Like, have I been on motorcycle? Like yes, maybe once, but it's just like a shirt that I like.

Yeah. And it just doesn't have to be any deeper than that. I don't know. I feel like he's like going so hard on something that I think is obviously much deeper for him. Yeah. Well, and I like to the band tee point, it's like, I,

I have a friend that I saw her tweet the other day and she was like, I wore like a band tee in the grocery store and the cashier asked me to name three songs. Yes. And I feel like that's a thing with women typically is like, you have to almost prove your level of dedication. Like you almost qualify to be wearing that band tee.

It's just like, you have to prove yourself. Can someone just like the aesthetic and the look of the shirt? Like, yeah, it could be a favorite band or also maybe you just like the colors of it, like whatever, shut up. It's like, it's not hurting you.

Yeah. It's not hurting anyone. I'll let the girl have her NASA sheets. I just don't get it. I do not get it. So the top comment on this one, I'm curious, cause this I feel like it could go either way.

He was voted asshole overall. Okay, good, good. I think he ended up actually like deleting his post. Cause he's embarrassed that he's wrong. Or moderators removed it. They locked it because people couldn't be civil. So people, people were kind of going off. I wish like that was the thing that we could like

apply in real life. When people aren't being civil, like we just, we just end it. We just cut it right there. Cut, cut. So top comment, you're the asshole. By your standard, everyone who collects sports memorabilia

when they weren't a pro athlete is a fraud. That's such a good analogy. Yeah. That's so good. Yeah. That's like the thing. What, what do you need to do to qualify as being a fan of something or like just having a general interest in it? Like there's no qualifications.

Like you can like what you want to like. That's such a good analogy. That's perfect. Also like the world is fucking hard and people are mean and like everything sucks. So it's like, if she finds a little joy in a NASA sweater, like let the girl live.

I know. And someone, so someone replies to the top comment. They're like, is there any world where you're not the asshole? You're crapping on her for something that makes her happy. You're crapping on her for quote, looking smarter than she is. Do you not see the problem with that?

Why do you feel the need to put her down? Truly. It's like when like he sounds like the type of guy that would like if she put on glasses, he'd be like, oh my God, like are you trying to look really intelligent because you're fucking stupid. You're bad at math because you have ADHD.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah. Bringing like mental health into it too. Like absolutely like no, no, immediately no. Maybe that's why I'm bad at math. I also have ADHD. I don't have ADHD and I also am bad at math. It's just the math is hard.

Math is so hard. Oh my God. My high school math teacher literally just passed me to get me to just let me graduate. Yeah. Get the fuck out of here. I was such a bad student. I didn't go to math for like a whole month.

And you still passed. Still passed. He just want to get rid of me. Yeah. Don't, don't even ask me about Sokotoa. Another comment. NASA has found a multitude of potentially habitable worlds in none of them. Is he not the asshole?

Touche. That's a good one. That's great. He's not welcome on any of those. No. Any of those other worlds. Yeah. They brought the science into it. Yeah. They really did.

I like it. They're smart enough to wear NASA stuff. Such a dick. Okay. Well, that was an easy one. What to do next? I have so many tabs pulled up. I'm just like a little tab queen over here. Oh my God. I love it.

I like did a little Instagram thing and I was like, does anyone like have any Reddit stories? They'd want to see Lauren answer. And a lot of people wanted me to give you like proposal stories. Oh my God. Or wedding stories. Like, do you get that a lot on your channel? Like, when's your boyfriend going to propose?

Yeah. Or like, I think anytime you're in a public relationship, people are just like, they get so attached to like the relationship. They're like, when are you going to have a pal? Like, when are you having babies? When are you getting married? Not that my mom doesn't also ask those questions, but daily. It's like, when you have a public relationship,

I feel like people are all about that. Yeah. I'm like, I find that like, like I love the proposal stories. The wedding drama is like, I just love it. Oh my God. There's so much to it. And so like, I made a comment about a ring and I was like, I think that's really cute, but like, that's not what I would want.

And like, everyone in the comments was like, look at Morgan dropping proposal hints. And I'm like, no, no, no, like, that is not a hint. That's just like, I'm just obsessed with rings. So they told me proposal stories. Okay, let's go. Oh, I'm so excited. You know what it was too, is that like,

I used to publicly talk about how much I would absolutely die if I ever got put in a situation where I was part of a public proposal. Oh my God. Like when people get proposed to like on the Jumbotron at like sporting events or like with a flash mob. I was thinking flash mob. Literally what I was mentioning. I mean, die in like, not a good way.

Like, die in a way that I would probably say no, because if like, my significant other didn't know me well enough to know that I would hate that, then we should not be together. Oh, did you see the proposal? It was like, it went viral on TikTok. He proposed in the center of like Times Square. And she like walked away like in her heels. Yes, yes.

Booked it out of there. Yes. Oh my God. Oh my God. Yes, I would like, I'd be the same way. I would die. Just absolutely die. I want to like really have I like, I keep seeing this one and like my 4U page is so targeted. But it was this one where it was like, trees that like framed like an ocean sunset

and there was like a candlelit path. And I'm like, that's what I want. Like intimate and pretty. Yeah, with a photographer in the bushes. Just because like, I want to like scrapbook it. You want the memories. Yeah. You want the memes.

I always say that too. I don't like intimate and like nobody really else there, except for the photographer in the bushes. Yeah. Yeah, that's, we're on the same page. So this one, am I the asshole for refusing to do a Titanic themed wedding? Oh my God. My fiance, 33 male is obsessed with a Titanic movie

and wants our whole wedding to be Titanic themed. I, 23 male, don't really like the movie that much. And I figured that it'd be unfair to theme our entire wedding about something that only one of us cares about. I told him I wouldn't mind some Titanic references here and there, but he started crying and said he wants the whole thing to be Titanic themed because that's quote, the wedding he's always dreamed about.

He then stormed out of the house and hasn't spoken to me since. This was two days ago. I feel bad for making him cry, but I still think he's being unreasonable. I spoke to my parents about it and they said that if I want to get married, I need to learn to make sacrifices. So I should just go along with it.

Am I the asshole? I just don't think it's fair that only one of them gets a dream wedding. You know what I mean? I think that he's right in the sense that there can be lots of nods to it and referencing it in different cool ways. I think that's almost more fun to have that sprinkled in

and it's a thing that you guys both know that the color scheme or this one photo op or the napkins have little, yes, I don't know. The little garnishes here and there. Yeah, I think that's tasteful. I don't know, I just don't think it's fair to only one of them to have the dream wedding that they've always wanted.

Well, also the theme, the Titanic itself was grand and beautiful, so if you have the string quartet and a little SS and their last name on napkins, kind of the ship theme and whatever, that would be really cute, but I'm thinking about it and I'm like, the Titanic didn't have a happy ending. Jacqueline down.

Literally, do you know that I saw the Titanic for the first time this year? What? I know, I never watched it. My boyfriend's never seen it. Yeah, you know what it was, it's always been on my list of movies to watch, but I know it's so long that it's a commitment.

It is such a commitment. So I was just always not saving it, but kind of putting it off. Combination of saving it, Sasha putting it off, but I just saw it for the first time and so now I understand that. Also, I just have a lot of beef with the fact that they both could have fit on the door.

It's been proven. And I know it's controversial, but I just really feel like I came out of that movie knowing that he could have fit on the door. Absolutely, at least they partially could have both hovered, like come on. Yeah, I just, the love of your life that you just had this whirlwind romance

with the Titanic, you go down together, you make it off the sinking ship together and you're gonna just let them fade into the cold water. I know, ma'am, check yourself. It makes no sense. Like I would not let Justin sink like that. Oh yeah, no, or like we take turns.

And it was so close too, she was so close. She got that whistle soon after. Yeah. Like just a couple more minutes, come on. I know, I know. Yeah, I think they need to find the compromise. I think in the same way that he's being told to like make sacrifices.

And like, I feel like I don't love the word sacrifice. I feel like the better word is compromise. Yeah, like sacrifice is just like has such a negative connotation towards it. It really does. Yeah, sacrifices, like I like, I hate people like, oh, you both have to make sacrifices. Like that in itself, like kind of, it...

It makes you feel like you're giving something up. It insinuates like suffering on one person's part. Loss. Yeah. And I don't love that. I feel like compromise is the better way to kind of phrase that. Yes, I agree. Yeah, so there is an edit from OP.

Oh my God. He came around today and said he was sorry for overreacting. It was just something he'd been really passionate about for ages. We agreed to have a dual theme for our wedding, Titanic and Batman slash Gotham. Whoa. Because I'm a big Batman fan.

Thanks everyone for your mostly helpful advice. Okay. I wanna see pictures. I know, I'm dying to see photos of like what the aesthetics of this wedding looked like. What's it gonna look like? Yeah. Well, this was only 28 days ago, so.

I'll message them. Oh my God, to see if there's photos afterwards. I'll see if we can get some pictures down the road. Oh my God. But like, at least they're compromising. And also too, I think it balances out that he wanted like a pretty obscure theme as well too. You know what I mean?

Yeah. I feel like some people are like, oh, I'd love to do like a burgundy and gold theme. You know what I mean? Like a color scheme where he's like, I want Batman. Like that's just like so intense and like a very specific theme.

Yeah. But I think it works out that they both have like really specific like like cultural media choices for their like niche wedding. I agree. I've seen a lot of Star Wars themes lately. Really? Yeah.

And like someone planned their wedding on like, literally May 4th. Oh my God. And that's like May the 4th. 4th be with you. Yeah. And so their whole theme was like Star Wars. Whoa.

Yeah. I mean, you know what though? Like if you're both, it's like when you see Disney weddings, like when you have two Disney adults that are like die hard and like, do you? Like if you're both down for that, like do you? I know that that's a real big commitment.

I'm a Disney adult, but like even that, I'm like, oh you guys, like that's, but they got some cool ballrooms, I guess. And Cinderella shows up or something. Oh, oh my God. Actually that would be, that would be a vibe. Yeah. That'd be an absolute vibe.

I didn't even think about like the- The ballroom aesthetic. The ballroom aesthetic. Yeah. Yeah. I don't hate that. Top comment on this one. Does, does he know what happened to the Titanic?

Oh my God, our reaction exactly. Yeah. That was a Titanic themed wedding even look like. You drown a bunch of poor people and don't have enough seats for everybody. True. Everyone is cold. True.

Not the asshole. Wow. Yeah. Wow. That's a good, I just like, I love, I feel like I've never really done like a deep dive into Reddit and I feel like there's just absolute gold on this website.

It's a gold mine. It's a gold mine. Another comment, not the asshole, but one of them gets shoved off the floating door and into the water to die, even though they both could have fit. Yes. Yes.

Oh my God. They, I'm going to die on that. I like, I just feel so strongly about it. There's literally been videos where people have like recreated the door. I don't want to say it was like a mythbusters, but it was like that type of channel. And they literally like recreated the door,

put it in a pool and like. Like found like people who might have been similar size and wait to see if they could both flow. It worked. It worked. God. Yeah. Super weird, but really happy on the compromise.

Can't wait to see pics. I know. Hopefully they, it was a throwaway account. So like it's kind of like a fake account that they don't like return to you. So hopefully they see it and send me pictures someday. Another wedding one next. Oh my God.

I love these. The wedding ones are really, they're spicy. Tensions are just so high for weddings because there's so many opinions involved and there's so much money going toward just like one singular day. It's insane. It's crazy.

My mom wants nothing more than my boyfriend and I to elope. Like she wants nothing more. Like she's just not here for any of like the wedding drama and stuff. I think like that's like one of my boyfriend's biggest like stressors is like our wedding and like the drama he knows he's gonna have to deal with.

Right. And so like I think like the more and more I see like elopement stuff. Like there's this one TikTok that he showed me that like perfectly describes it. And it's that's the sound that's going around on TikTok from like Interstellar where it's like people screaming at their past selves.

And it was like, I'll insert the TikToks or like posted on the Instagram. So people like get it. So I'm not spinning my wheels here. But essentially they're like standing outside the door banging on the window and the audio was like, no, no. And so the, it was like POV. Like we're watching ourselves a year ago

planning our wedding when we wish we would have just eloped. Right. And so they're like banging on the window just being like, no. And they're like looking at themselves through the window just like happily sitting there like planning a wedding. And so I feel like it's a really common thing these days for people to want to elope.

I think also too, after having two years of canceled weddings, people are like, do we even want to bother? Do we want to go through the trouble of all of this? And like, don't get me wrong. I'm someone who like wants a wedding, but my boyfriend and I both like, if we were to get married we both have such small families that like we already

are set up for like a very small intimate wedding which I think is such a relief. Like when families, I've had boyfriends in the past who are like Italian or whatever and they've got massive fucking families and you can't just like not invite half the cousins. And so it's like you're like working towards a wedding of like upwards of 100 people.

Yeah, their family list is at least 60. Literally. And then plus it's like, do they all get to bring dates? I'm like, okay, now you're at 120. My friend got married last year and she planned her wedding so it was like gonna happen before COVID. When her guest list was like they were doing that

and the COVID wasn't a thing, I think she told me she was at like 260. See, I'm like, where do people get the money to like pay for all of this too? Cause it's like if it's $100 per person for like a seated table for like all the meal, like that is crazy. Well, yeah, she had a plate of dinner too.

And I'm just like, I'm so fucking lazy. I'm gonna like hire food trucks. Dude, that's the move. You know what actually a lot of friends have been planning especially like after having to kind of like have creative solutions to the last couple of years is like do something small with like your closest friends and family

and then play in just like a big ass party. That's what I want. A few days later, I'm like, that is so smart. And then you could do the food truck thing. You can have like dessert bar and like not have to do like a whole formal thing. You don't have to have like the head table and like the speeches and stuff like that.

Like you can just be like a fun night where people can like come through on like low key and like low pressure. Low key, yeah. That's what I love. That's what I want. I want to like elope. So like we still have that moment for ourselves.

Yes. He doesn't have to deal with the stress. So then like the wedding day, you're not stressed because you already like, it went off without a hitch. Totally. And then you're just like, just partying and if people want to be dramatic.

Yes. You're not ruining our day. And also like when you think of people, like if you have a wedding of 200 people, the amount, like the chance of someone getting too fucked up and doing something really obnoxious and like ruining a small part of the wedding is like kind of high.

The odds are not in your favor. The odds are not in your favor. So it's like, if you do something small and intimate with friends and family where it's like in like a more controlled environment and then people want to get fucked up and do crazy to the next day, like totally fine.

Totally fine. Totally fine. I, yes. We're on the same page. Yeah. I feel like we're aligned here. Yeah. Same vibe.

Hi, Jan from Toyota speaking. Jan, I heard it's a good time to buy a Toyota. Sure is. From now until April 4th, you can shop all your favorites like Corolla, RAV4, Sequoia and more. Imagine yourself in a new tundra where you stopped by the home improvement store

and finally built that tree house you promised your daughter. Sarah? When did you hop on the call? Hi, Dad. Mom said you were taking too long on the phone. Toyota, let's go places. See you're participating Toyota dealer for details. Dealer inventory may vary.

So this one, am I the asshole for suggesting to my fiance that we make our honeymoon inclusive to our friends? It's gonna be bad. I'm getting married in seven months and one week after the wedding we will plan our honeymoon, which will be in a resort of our country around a two hour flight.

The place we're going has always been a dream destination of me and my friends. When I told them where we'd plan our honeymoon, they said how jealous they are and how they wish they could also go. I told them that we could consider the idea of making this a friend inclusive honeymoon. And they were very excited with the idea.

Sadly for many years, we hadn't been able to plan the trip with the guys to that place because our conflicting schedules, but now pretty much is easier for us to be able to align our vacation days. So I thought it was a great chance. I announced it to my fiance the other day and I thought she'd find it a cool idea.

But she got completely mad at me and started crying and telling me how much of an inconsiderate asshole I am. I tried to explain to her, I didn't do it with malice. I simply thought it would be a good chance for the guys to experience it. And I even told her she can tell some of her own friends if they want to join in. She told me that I'm ridiculous for insisting

that this is a good idea and how she felt horrible because I'm inconsiderate because I made my honeymoon into a friendship trip when it's supposed to be about the two of us. She also says I'm an even bigger asshole for discussing it with my friends and getting them excited about it when I didn't consult her. And honestly, I think she's right on that part

and I might be the asshole. On the overall idea though, I didn't think she'd mind that much. I thought it sounded fun. Am I the asshole? Oh my God. I mean, I'm glad that he's self-aware enough to know that he shouldn't have talked to his friends

first day at them hyped up before bringing the idea to her. Yeah. And like, is he dumb? Is he literally dumb? Okay, I kind of thought that this was gonna go in the direction of maybe they have a bunch of friends who are also in couples that they hang out with all the time.

Like you've got a friend group that are all friends. But he's very much making it seem like that'll be a boys' trip. It's a boys' trip. This is not a honeymoon. This is a boys' trip. This is a boys' trip. Your wife at that point tags along.

Yes, right. It's a bro, it's a trip for the boys plus your wife also there. So bad, so cringy, just. That's so bad. That's so bad. And like, I will say, like I hang out with a lot of the same couples,

like all the time. And like there's a world where if I was going somewhere for just I was going on like a long ass honeymoon for 10 days, like maybe the first five days are just us and then like the second half could be like the other couples come if we're both like down for that. But also like the main point of a honeymoon, so like go on a trip to be like,

oh, like we're newlyweds, let's do fun things together. Well, especially at like a nice resort that's probably really romantic. And like, yeah, you want that time to like, the stress of the wedding is over. I want to relax, have great sex. Like that's what the honeymoon is for, not for the boys. To black it with your bros and then go try

and have sex with your wife afterwards. Like that's not, I'm sure that's not the honeymoon that she was envisioning. No, like I would, I'd be crying too. This is giving me, I just saw it recently on like a recommended thing. It was probably on Barstool. But it was like this wedding party

and all the guys were like standing there, like being bros, the groom and his dudes. And then the bride is sitting there holding the Saturday or for the boys flag. Oh, that's so Barstool right there. That is, that's the Barstool brand in a nutshell. And I'm like, I would be rather cut dead than do that on my wedding day.

100%. I would rather die. Call it off. Yeah, just call it off. If my fiance wanted me to do that, we're done. 100%. And also too, like if my fiance asked me to do that and like thought that was a reasonable request,

like, bye, you're done. That's it. You're done. Head on out. You're done, you're done, you're done. Don't get it. Top comment on this one. Quote, hey babe, my bros will be hanging with us

on our honeymoon. Aren't you like totally stoked? Yes, accurate, accurate, accurate, accurate. Like I just don't, maybe just some people don't understand what a honeymoon is. Did they say how old he is? It sounds like college bros. This literally sounds like college bros,

just being like, oh, like this is our like spring break trip. Yeah, no mention of ages. It sounds like an immature type of bro thing. Yeah. Also like if you want to go on a trip with your bros later, like go play in that later, like the fact that like this is your honeymoon, like bro, read the room.

What happened to the bachelor party? Like why? Yeah, yeah, true, that's what that's for. Why couldn't you have like, if you know that you wanted to go to this place with your guy friends for so long, why wasn't this a part of your bachelor party and then you recommend somewhere else for your honeymoon?

Literally, you're so right. What happened to the bachelor trip? That's exactly what this is for. The bro time. The bro time. Another top comment, it's a honeymoon you fool. She's in for a hell of a marriage. Seriously, oh my God, yeah.

If he's like, I mean, at least he's aware enough to know that the order that he talked to people in his life about it was wrong. So it gives me hope that like, he's got half a brain. Yeah, though. I'm a little concerned. It's got to, we got to come around on all of it. Yeah, I'm a little concerned.

Yeah, I think, I would point to this being very young, like maybe just right out of college. It feels young. Feels like one of those schools where it's like, ring in the spring or whatever. What does that mean? There's like a school, I think it's Baylor in Texas. Okay, so Canada doesn't have frats and stuff like that.

So I don't know any of like this. I have like a mutual friend that went there. And their whole thing is like, senior year, it's like ring in the spring or like... Oh, like you get married, like you propose in the spring. Yeah, so if you're like not engaged your senior year, yeah, for Baylor students, the phrase ring by spring brings about many different emotions.

If a couple is dating by the time they graduate, the expectation is that they should get engaged. So it's like a thing. Oh my God, ring in the spring. Ring in the spring. So this is giving me kind of like those vibes where they just maybe is a little immature. Right, it reads young.

It reads young for sure. It's giving young energy. Yeah, it's a weird vibe for sure. And by young I mean immature. Yes. By young I mean immature, yeah. Yeah, not like age wise, but yeah, just... He's a little off, has some growing up to do.

Has some growing up to do. Play on your bachelor party more accordingly friend and I think you'll be fine. Is it okay if I pee before we do the next one? Of course, yes, yes. Five minutes later. Also, every time I go to the bathroom like in the last 24 hours,

I think about that one story about how when the guy poops, he puts the towel over his lap. I can't stop thinking about it. I traumatize you. Every time I go to the bathroom and I like look at my own hand towels, I'm like... Can you imagine? It's so bad.

I can't even imagine. They look crazy. Fecal matter flies everywhere too. Like that's why they say like you can't have your toothbrushes out on the counter. Yes, oh my God. Because then there's poop on them. We have like, I'm looking like my bathroom is like

the toilet is in like its own room. Oh, I love that. I know and it's the best. That's so nice. Well then it's like you can also have another layer of protection if you're going to be noisy. Yeah, true. Just another door.

Yeah, I like that. Last wedding one. We kind of went ham on the wedding theme. Am I the asshole for not wanting my fiance's friend in our wedding party? My 26 female fiance, 28 male, have been together for four years. He's been friends with Maya, female 30 for six years.

They're fairly close, but she doesn't like me much. It's usually not an issue. Some people just don't mesh. We don't mesh. Edit to add, there's no heavy animosity. We can be near each other fine. We just don't talk when we are. We don't actively hate each other.

Just prefer not to hang out together. She isn't against us getting married and likely would say yes to being a bridesmaid to make him happy, but isn't pushing for it herself. We're recently engaged and he'd like to have her be a bridesmaid. I don't. He wants her in a dress matching my bridesmaids on my side,

participating in things we're doing. I said, absolutely not. She doesn't even like me. I've seen wedding photos where one bridesmaids clearly doesn't want to be with the bride and I don't want that. Plus, I really only want the women closest to me as bridesmaids.

I suggested she wear a black dress to match the men's tuxes and be a groom's man. He said that will look dumb and he doesn't want to do that because he's dead set against including her on his side with the men and their activities. And I'm dead set against having her with me and my bridesmaids. He said I've effectively said she can't be in the wedding.

I argued he's just as much at fault for not budging as I am, but he said I'm the only one being unreasonable. Mind you, his only reason for not wanting her with his groom's man is, quote, that's dumb, just let her be a bridesmaid. Am I the asshole for not budging and basically keeping her out of the wedding party

according to my fiance? Okay, I've never, I actually haven't been a bridesmaid yet. I feel like all my friends are just starting to like get engaged and stuff now and like having babies. So it's like, I feel like I'm at the forefront of a lot of this drama. So I can't personally attest to like having gone through this yet

or like even like picking my own bridesmaids. Yeah. I totally agree that like she, like the friend, also I'm like sketched. Like I wonder if like they've done stuff. You know what I mean? It's like, have you hooked up in the past? Like why doesn't she like you so much?

Like it seems like there's like a weird possessiveness over the guy from this Maya girl side. And I'm like, okay, like what's happening here? Like this feels like sketchy. Definitely. I kind of feel like maybe the answer would be that for the photos, if it's so important for the guy, she wears the bridesmaids dress and she's in the photos,

but like she just, maybe there's a mutual understanding that like she doesn't participate in like the other ship because like if they don't like each other, like why would they want to be forced to spend time together, especially when like the mutual friend, like the boyfriend, like isn't their fiance or whatever isn't there. It doesn't make any sense.

I think her even compromising and being like, have her wear a dress and stand on your side. Or like even offering that, like that makes the most sense. And it's like, if it's your friend and it's so important to you that you want her in our wedding, then she stands on your side. Like I don't think, like maybe he just doesn't get like asking someone to be your bridesmaid is almost like

for a lot of people at least, it's like a badge of honor. It's like, thanks as like, thank you for being there for me. Thank you for being my friend. I'd love to have you stand next to me on my special day. Right, right, right. That makes sense. So it's like, like you said, like they don't even like each other. They're going to hang out with hair and makeup all morning and like this girl-

I'm just like going to bachelorette, do like the wedding dress shopping together. Like neither of them want each other. And also to like the energy of like having to think about if that girl is what was her name, Maya, is like the friend. Like if you have to spend your day worrying about how Maya is going to impact the dynamic of like your big fun activities of like bachelorette

or like dress shopping and stuff. Like you don't want to have that like cloud following you around on your special days. Yeah, no, it's just uncomfortable. Weddings like we've said are already so stressful as it is. And like to have someone who doesn't like you, who you've known for four years, like she's not going to wake up and be friendly and like-

So true. Right. It's going to make for an uncomfortable situation, uncomfortable wedding. I actually like I'm trying to find the picture as I like sit here and multitask. I'll find it for the YouTube eventually, but there was a wedding that Vogue did. Okay.

And it was beautiful. And I don't know who it was in relation to the groom, like a sister maybe, but this girl wore like a super fitted, trendy like tux. Fun. And it looked like a bougie ass pantsuit. It was amazing. It was just tailored so well.

Still like very like feminine. And like you could tell like she was kind of like a girlier girl and it just looked so good. And so when I saw that like I'm kind of in the boat with like my boyfriend has like a cousin who like, they grew up kind of like siblings. They're super close. And he was like, well, he didn't even like,

we were just talking about who would stand by us. And I think he's kind of nervous because like, I have more friends and he was just like, it's going to be hard to compete with like, how many people you have. Right. Cause he feels like it should be even on both sides with numbers, right?

Yeah. And I was like, well, you'll have Josie standing next to you. And he was like, you can do that. And I was like, yeah, like you can have her next to you. Like, why not? Why not? I think it's actually kind of dated to think about how like guys have to all be on one side and girls have to be

all on the other side. Like I think about now, like how many like gay guy best friends I have. I'm like, I'm not going to make them go stand on the other side. Not that like Jeremy wouldn't be friends with like all these people as well too. Cause like a lot of our friends are like intertwined. Yeah.

But like, I just feel like people have girl and guy friends. Like, and so I don't think that you have to like separate them just for the sake of like what the aesthetic of like the old school photo has to be. I know. Like I think, I think we can, we can move on from that. It's fine. I think so too.

My friend Rachel got married. Oh gosh, she's been married for a while now. And she had one of our guy friends stand next to her. He was like her man of honor. And it was adorable. And so there's so many fun ways you can do it where it's just like it doesn't need to be old and archaic and totally. I mean the fit, I like, I will find this.

And if I don't find it by the time you leave, I will literally send it to you. I have it pinned on my Pinterest board. Like how good the pants it was. It's so good. Okay. And also like there's usually like some kind of color scheme. You know what I mean?

Like between guys wearing like the, the pocket scarf or the tie or even doing like a full out like jacket in that color. Like I don't know. I just think people are doing so much more fun stuff if they want to like really stick that whole like separate and have specific numbers of people on both sides. Like I don't know. I just think it's like your wedding, if they're your photos

like whatever you want to do. Well, I think he's being like, his behavior is honestly concerning where he's almost like kind of flipping it on her. Yeah. It seems pretty stubborn. It's so stubborn. Like a little gaslighty like almost where it's like,

you're the one keeping her out of our wedding party because you won't have her on your side. It's like, it's very like, like there's only one way to do this. And because you're not doing it my way, that means that like it's not going to happen at all. And that makes it your fault. Yeah.

It's like the vibe that he's giving. Which makes zero sense in this. And it's like at the end of the day, this is your friend. Right. You figured out. Where do you want your friend to be? Where do you want your friends? Like put her on your side. Like I'm responsible for my side, my people.

Those are my people I get to pick. You pick your side. If she's that important to you, where you want to honor her by having her in our wedding, then she goes on your side. I feel like I do have friends that have like family politics though, we're like sisters of their fiance that they don't really like.

But then the sister, they have to ask to be like in the bridesmaid's side. Like, I don't know. I feel like it just gets so much. My boyfriend and I are both only children, which is like, I know. Seriously, like we're both from such small families. So I feel like we get to take a step outside of so much

of like the family politic drama. That is so like, I, Justin, my boyfriend's an only child. And I literally like, I think it's so like only children together. Like do you want only one kid? Like if you've like, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh.

I literally like, I told him, I was like, we have to have at least two because like, I feel like when you have another sibling, you kind of like get the, a little bit of a shared burden. So just so interesting, like you're two only children. Does Justin only want one? He, I think he's down for more than one. I've said, I like, I've kind of said,

like I refuse to have just one. Yeah. I will say that as an only child, I turned out okay. Yeah, no, you're great. Even though I did take the burden of everything, I understand. I definitely understand that perspective, but like being only child, like my parents

are also like still together. Our family is like very tight. That's super nice. But yeah, I understand. I feel like because we both only know how to live a lifestyle of being the only kid, like as a parent, I feel like I would lead by example of like how I was raised. You know what I mean?

And so like, I just like don't know how to manage, even like dogs, like I love just having like one dog. One dog. I think like one dog and one offspring sounds really good. I'm glad you guys haven't worked out. That's like honestly the ideal situation. Cause then you both like know, and it's like, you don't have, like you said siblings to deal with

or invite in your wedding. And now I'm thinking about it. I'm like, did my sister-in-law have me in her wedding just to be nice? Amy, top comment on this one, not the asshole. It's his friend. She should be on his side. Maybe he's trying to force this on you

to make you two get along. But that's such a bad idea that definitely won't work. Right. Don't budge. Right. And OP actually responds. That's what I was thinking. But I feel like it only make it so we go from not friendly

to really hating each other. Yeah, it's just gonna get worse. Weddings are not the day to make friends. Literally, that is the worst possible day for you to be forced to be friendly. The worst day. The worst, like you could not pick a worst day. No.

The next comment goes, I can't be the only one who sees fiance's flag on the play here. OP, I'd halt for their wedding planning until you can get to the bottom of this. This would be a good hill for me to die on. But let us know what happens. Oh, damn.

Which kind of brings me back to what you said where like it's kind of fishy. Like did they hook up before? Right. Because I have really, really good guy friends that like I, and maybe I'm just not close enough with them like these days to where I'd have them stand next to me.

But I would never like force that on Justin to be like, you have to have my friend. Yeah. Like Tanner stand next to you. Yeah. Like, so why is he forcing it so much? Right, right. Like for what?

Yeah. Well, and he took it so seriously that like. Also the, like if he's been friends with Maya for six years and she's been around for four years, there was like a two year little situation there where it's like, did something happen? Well, I think like I see a lot of stuff recently where like guys are very telling on themselves sometimes.

Like this one video I saw was his girl was like, my boyfriend was asked to spot a girl at the gym and he was okay with it. But then I asked him if I asked another guy to help spot me at the gym, would he be okay with it? Right. And he said, no. Right, right.

Or like the other example is like, are you okay with your girlfriend having guy, like male friends? Yeah. And he was like, no. And she was like, well, why not? And he said, because I know they just want to hook up with her.

Right, so it's like, okay, are you, so when you swap, everything's coming together. Like you just told on yourself. Like, so you believe that guys can't just be friends with girls. Right. If that's how he feels.

If that's how he feels. So it's kind of like this situation where like, it is two years, that is a lot of time. And like, did you have feelings? And then like they've faded or Like what happened? Did something happen? But then you just realized it wasn't it?

Like what? There's something, something more is happening here. There's something fishy. There's something fishy for sure. Something's fishy, but I would stay on my ground. I would. I'm just surprised too that like, if they've been dating for four years,

that him and this girl, like it's, it's one thing if they were childhood friends, they've been friends forever. Yeah. Right. And they're like, oh, there's such an important piece of like, my entire childhood and like growing up and like, we're still like, we'll always have that bond.

But it's like, if you've only been friends for two extra years outside the relationship, like why are you still so close that you, it's so important that you're like willing to like, die on this hill for her to be in the wedding party. I'm getting bad vibes now that we, the more we,

Yeah, the more we like dig into this. Yeah. There's something, there's something going on here. I'm getting bad vibes. Yeah. Let me just peek if there's an update on this account. No, it's a throwaway account. No updates.

Damn. But there are some comments from OP, just like, it's just like very responsive, like responding. That's a great idea. I think people are offering her like a lot of other solutions. And someone was just like, you don't want her in your wedding, blah, blah, blah.

She was like, I think you misunderstand me. That is what I want. I want her to be one of his people. Right. Which like, it's not fair, this whole thing, like it's not fair to ask your significant other to put one of your people on their side. Right.

It has to come from what they want. I agree, totally agree. But yeah, lots of comments. So I'll post the link for this one. But yeah, it's, it's not, it's not good. I'm getting bad vibes. Yeah, bad vibes for sure. There's red flags all over this.

Yeah. I'm kind of concerned. I'm gonna have to message her too. I'm messaging so many of these people today. Do they ever respond back and like tell you more? Some people do. Oh my God, that's so exciting. Some people do.

But then a lot of people don't. It's so frustrating. And you want to like know the end of like how, like how can you put such an intimate piece of like, like of your life onto the internet and not do a follow-up? And not update us. I know. People want to know.

Am I the asshole for asking my boyfriend to stop emulating Winnie the Pooh? Do you see where this is going? So this conflict came up recently because I, 24 female, moved in with my boyfriend, 25 male. The issue is that he has started walking around the apartment and spending most of his days completely bottomless, dick out with just his shirt on.

He calls this, quote, Winnie the Poohing. He told me he started it during work from home because he thought it was funny to be on Zoom and just not have pants on. I'll be honest. It makes me a little uncomfortable for him to just constantly have his penis out in front of me. So I've requested he just wear boxers at least.

He thinks I'm trying to be too controlling and that I should appreciate his body. However, it just feels kind of unsanitary and weirdly dangerous. He was cooking with oil and a drop of oil spat out of the pan and landed on his penis. So am I the asshole for not wanting to constantly look at my boyfriend's penis?

Get your dirty ass crack off of the couch. I was just thinking that. Get your dirty ass gooch off the couch. The amount of stories I've read from people being like, my boyfriend slid his ass off of my bed and left a skid mark. I would die. I would, like, we'd have to break up.

We'd have to break up. I'm kidding, but like, that's just so. I think it's fair. Also, like, how to make a penis not sexual immediately. You know what I mean? Like, if you're seeing a flaccid dick, which is not the most aesthetically pleasing thing ever, like, it just like makes it so opposite of sexy

every single day of every single, like, waking hour of the day. Yeah, this is exposure therapy, like desensitization 101. Yes, yes. And well, you're gonna start associating just, like, all the negative things and, like, being annoyed when you see the penis.

He's gonna pavlov her in a bad way. Yes, he's pavloving her in a bad way. That's exactly what it is. Oh. Yeah. He's really shitting himself on the foot here. He kind of is, because this is insane. Also, I'm dead that this is Winnie the Poohing.

This is not entirely where I thought this was going, but this is better. Where did you think it was going? I kind of thought that it was gonna be, like, going around, like, him, like, bumbling around, like, talking, like, Winnie the Pooh, like, I didn't realize that it was gonna be, like, a crop top and just, like, dick out.

Crop top. This is the brave, yeah, the braveness here, like, the oil thing. I've literally burned myself with oil, like, had it just, like, go on clothes. Oh, like, or, like, my hand, whatever, when it pops out of the pan. Also, like, that's karma right there.

That should have been the sign for you to put some fucking pants on. Yeah. Just boxers, anything. Well, what if you have to get up during your Zoom meeting? Like, Grannie, you can shut the camera off, whatever, but... Or, like, I think about how I'm FaceTime with my friends all the time.

Like, you know, when someone's just FaceTime me, FaceTime me, like, out of the blue to, like, ask a question or something, and it's like, then your boyfriend and his floppy ass dick walks by in the background, like, that's just, that's just, no. Yeah, I just, I have a really hard time, like, I can't sleep naked.

I know there's a lot of people that love to sleep naked, and I cannot, like, my thought is, like, what if there's a fire in the middle of the night? Like, what if I have to escape? What if someone breaks in? Yes. Like, I love sleeping in just a big t-shirt and, like... Same.

Underwear, but, like, I have to have something. I cannot sleep naked. And so, like, for this dude, like, I can't even imagine... This can't even be comfortable. It can't even be comfortable. Also, like, you know that guys just, like, shake their dick off after they pee,

and, like, there's always, like, a little bit there. So it's like, it's just, like, he's just, like, what, dribbling peel over the house, and then, like, you know that guys that have hairy asses, like, unless you are really putting in the maintenance and the time to, like, keep that butt pristine, like, you just know that, like, it is not in good shape down there.

No. You just know. I watched a comedy special by Daniel Sloss, and he talks about how, like, if you have hair on your asshole, doesn't matter how much you wipe, like, you're still gonna be pooping your hair. Yeah, yeah, always.

And I always think about that, like, with butt hair now. I'm just, like, this is... Everyone just needs to, like... Unless you're, like, out here, yeah, lasering and bleaching and, like, but what, like, the sanitary, like, wipes? Yeah. Like, love a sanitary wipe.

And I'm Asian, so I have, like, no hair on my butt hole. But, like, unless they want to get on that level, put your pants on. I know, especially if they have a white couch or white furniture. Oh, my God, I'm thinking about, like, yeah, I have a white couch, and, like, imagine... Also, I just can't imagine, like,

imagine you're eating popcorn and then, like, just, like, popcorn crumbs all over your dick. Like, there's just so many scenarios where this does in your face out. There's just so many scenarios where this doesn't make sense. Like, it doesn't seem convenient. It seems, like, also, like, when you think of, like,

a dude even being a little bit hot and, like, your dick in ball situation getting sweaty and then all that also touching things, that makes you want to die. What about when he farts? We all have poop particles that come out. That fluff out of our butts when we fart. Right, so he's fluffing poop particles out.

Yeah. I don't like this at all. This is, like, the least sexy thing I've ever heard in my entire life. He's literally pavloving her into hating his dick. Yeah. What do the people say? Not the asshole.

Is he being funny? No. Clever? No. Respecting your boundaries and comfort? Absolutely not. Is there any good reason he shouldn't stop immediately? No.

Do I admire his unwavering commitment to the stupidest bit of all time? Undeniably. A dude wrote that for sure. Yeah. To be honest, Winnie the Pooing is a pretty hilarious term for this. But yeah, after the second day, I

would just not want his naked asshole on the shared furniture every single day. OP, not the asshole. This is unsanitary. 100%. 100%. I wouldn't even want a naked asshole in the kitchen when I was cooking food.

No. Even without it making contact. Especially him bending over. Ugh. Like, oh, babe, can you grab me that pot? Just ass up. Just ass up. Just ass up.

Oh my god, yeah. I hate this so much. I will say, Winnie the Pooing is the single, highly best term that I've ever heard. So someone comments and they go, I've always called it Donald Ducking. He does only have a top on. Uh-huh.

Huh. I think I'd prefer the poo. I'd prefer the poo. Yeah. Yeah. OK. Any other good comments? Oh my god.

Yeah, Donald Duck feels like, because also he had a hat. And then he's also got like a big tail and stuff too. So it's like, it makes sense. Like, how would Donald Duck wear pants? Like, it'd be like controversial. It would be. He'd have to have a little hole for his tail. Right, right.

Someone goes, I don't know why Donald Ducking is worse than walking around totally nude. But it is. True, true. Yeah, no updates on this one. And it doesn't look like there's any comments from OP either. If your boyfriend would rather walk around poop particles and dick out and all and like lose his girlfriend

over just putting pants on, that is not a relationship you want to be in. No, that's sending a loud message for your future. Loud message for your future. And also, like, if that's the thing that you want to be stubborn on and you're that stubborn, like, imagine the normal things that he's stubborn on? I can't even imagine.
