'I simply cannot afford to keep buying more skincare': Woman locks expensive products in a safe so her boyfriend will stop using them

Some boyfriends don't understand just how expensive skincare can be. This boyfriend was one of them. u/pinkyblinderz posted this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit to discuss her significant other's continual usage of her products.

 

To clarify: this is not merely recreational skincare. u/pinkyblinderz goes into detail about how after her boyfriend used all of her $220 face wash (which was supposed to be used specifically for her eczema), she had a flare-up that resulted in her being hospitalized. So this is not a joke, people. u/pinkyblinderz needs those pricey products.

 

When the Redditor took inventory of just how much her boyfriend had taken from her, she estimated that he used about $800 worth of products over the course of three months. After repeatedly asking him to stop, she took matters into her own hands and bought a safe to lock away her valuables under the sink. Her boyfriend found out, of course, and felt betrayed. The real betrayal here, however, is his refusal to take her skin condition seriously. What might appear to be luxury items to him are actually necessary items for her health and wellbeing. 

 

Couples fight about little things all the time. This boyfriend even went so far as to critique the way his girlfriend took a shower. But sometimes these little things have larger implications.

'I did everything to support her in losing weight.' Boyfriend frustrated by girlfriend's weight-loss struggles, wonders if he's crossing the line

This boyfriend has reached his wit's end with his girlfriend's dietary practices, now he's wondering if he is overstepping and the internet has given him a definitive answer. 

In a trending thread from Reddit's popular "Am I the A-Hole" subreddit, the boyfriend, Redditor u/Unlucky_Revolution27 shared his story. He has been increasingly concerned with his girlfriend's weight gain and says that he has gotten her permission to help her get back in shape. 

Commenters were quick to put him in his place and, in some lengthy comments, made clear their thoughts on the matter. They made it obvious that his girlfriend should be rethinking her relationship.

"YTA. Have you considered asking her what's driving her to eat and the need to sm*ke?" replied Reddit user andravens. "You're offering all sorts of support for the physical and nothing for the mental and emotional. If you only care about why she's gaining weight because of her looks and passing care for her physical health, you need to take a step back and re-evaluate your priorities. There is something deeper at play; if you care about her and love her, drop the talk about weight loss. Start talking to her about what's going on that's upsetting her or stressing her out or depressing her."

"He doesn't care about the mental and emotional, because you can't "see" them. He only cares about the physical because he's a shallow a-hole." responded another user. 

Sounds pretty similar to the date who lost it when his date ate too large of a salad.

'My wife just went over the top': Man kicks wife out of the house for bullying their pregnant daughter

Some families fight more than others, but not every family fight escalates like this. u/Plus-Climate2355 opened up on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit this week with this thread about his dysfunctional family dynamic. 

 

According to his post, u/Plus-Climate2355 and his wife come from low-income backgrounds and worked all their lives so that their daughter could achieve what she wanted. Luckily enough, their daughter was a good student and managed to get a full ride to a good school. Sometime later, she broke the news to her parents that she was pregnant, that there was no father in the picture, and that she wanted to have the baby. She moved back home, which the Redditor was perfectly fine with considering she had some savings of her own and liked to help out with family chores and responsibilities.

 

However, the Redditor's wife gradually became more and more hostile to the daughter, claiming that she tarnished her chances at a promising future and chasitising her for wanting to raise her kid in their lower-income neighborhood. At this point, u/Plus-Climate2355 couldn't watch his wife attack their daughter any longer, especially during such a challenging period already. He kicked her out of the house, which he was legally able to do because it was not a marital property, and now his "in-laws are coming at [him] because everyone thinks she's right."

 

We've seen similar stories about father-daughter drama and family dynamics gone wrong. Like this woman whose mother-in-law suspected the worst of her and accused her of cheating when she was really just playing video games.

'He said he lost the lease papers': Landlord devises new lease to get current tenants to leave in 2 months

Time to add yet another horrid landlord to the seemingly endless list of horrid landlords. This thread was posted on Reddit's tongue-in-cheek r/LandlordLove page by u/raimine, who shared their story of being cheated by their landlord after living in their apartment for five years. 

 

Imagine living in a place for five years, paying rent on time every month, never having an issue with your landlord throughout that period…and then all of a sudden, that harmonious relationship abruptly ends when your landlord tells you that you'll need to leave within two months because a relative bought the place. That's exactly what happened to u/raimine, who then realized they only had a copy of their signature from the original lease. When inquiring about the full copy of that document, the landlord said he misplaced it and was devising a brand new one stating the new terms. We think this seems like a pretty convenient "misplacement."

 

This is not the first time we've seen landlords exhibit shadiness. In fact, shadiness seems to be inherent in the DNA of many landlords. Like this one, who refused to fix a leaky, damaged ceiling.

Frustrated Karen Gets Customer Fired From a Store Where He Didn't Even Work

This guy was fired from a store he didn't even work at after an enraged Karen insisted on his termination. The story was posted to Reddit's r/IDontWorkHereLady community by Reddit user u/Own_Row_9101, who shared his story to the popular subreddit.

Thanks to retrogressive policies like "The customer is always right" we have conditioned all entitled people in the world to think they can get everything their way. The sad thing is that they are often completely right and they have this worldview reinforced time and time again by constant arse kissing from customer service agents (who have to do so in order to provide for their families.) Over time these entitled people become more and more self-obsessed and conceited and evolve into full-blown narcissists. 

"The fact that she kept singling you out every time she wanted something rather than ask another employee is mind-boggling." remarked user SheWhoLovesToDraw. "Some people are denser than a blackhole, I swear!"

"Probably in her mind, they were the only one in uniform," responded brianorca. "Since the store's actual uniform was so different."
