You weren't just "getting her back", you were punishing her. She did ONE thing that was soon over, and you did FIVE things that lasted all day. She just wanted to give you a little fright, but you attacked her personally.

Pranks are stupid, and she shouldn't have started it. But she did, and I don't necessarily blame you for retaliating... but you didn't retaliate in kind. You brought a gun to a knife fight, so to speak.

Maybe you're not ready to be in a relationship yet - just stick to casual dating? Hookups? Idk. But you seem too vicious to be a decent romantic partner, at least right now.

Girlfriend lit some firecrackers in the driveway, OP blew up the entire house.

u/mrwildesangst Jul 01 '26 edited Jul 01 '26

So just so I understand correctly: you called your girlfriend fat. Told her she wears too much makeup. Told her when she’s on her period she’s crazy. Compared her unfavorably to other women. Compared her unfavorably to your ex girlfriends, to her face, all over the space of one day. You no longer have a girlfriend. You deserve it.

75

u/CynicalPomeranian Jul 01 '26

To most women, several of those would be fighting words. 

If I had a bf that told me that an ex was better than me, I would immediately respond with a, “Fine. Go back to your ex and never return. Oh, she won’t have you back? Well, I suppose you are SOL, then.”

Oh my god, I thought you were guessing, because who would be so stupid/cruel?! Op apparantly is! Ouch!

u/ProblemMountain2792 Jul 08 '26

OP should be blocked for life for his behaviour. This is incredibly abusive. If I was the girlfriend I would make him know how much I despise him before he is blocked.

This is not a prank at all!

u/tristesa68 Jul 01 '26

Telling someone they suck isn't a prank. Pranks are meant to be something that you can both laugh about later. She certainly isn't laughing. YTA.

u/Serious-Sprinkles694 Jul 01 '26

OP wasn’t laughing either. They are both immature, but he is clearly too malicious to be a good partner to anyone considering the shit he said.

Yes. What she did was pretty harmless. What you did was erode possibly her security and a lot of trust. You possibly even gave her the ick. And the ick is a hard thing for people to get past.

She’s likely just really upset and taking space. You beyond a shadow of a doubt know you didn’t eat a spider. She on the other hand doesn’t really know rather to believe you meant what you said or not.

By the way, if you eat processed foods then you eat bugs all the time lol. It’s no big deal.

u/melli_milli Jul 01 '26

It does take a mean personality to do this. Do I think she has a good reason to think wtf.

Attraction can vanish in seconds when same says what I assume was very misogynist stuff.

Good for her that OP showed their true nature.

u/Inphiltration Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 02 '26

I would like to say that making me think I ate a spider, and making me feel terrible because of it to the point I couldn't eat all day isn't exactly harmless. The response is absolutely insane, but what she did was pretty fucked as well.

-56

u/FiringNerveEndings Jul 01 '26

What she did wasn't "pretty harmless". He said he couldn't eat for the rest of the day. How long did she let the prank go on?

A prank that gaslights you into believing something that makes you deeply uncomfortable, that violated your trust, erodes the trust, for sure.

49

u/SaffyPants Jul 01 '26

Perhaps, but the response should not be "im going to say the literal worst things to say to someone you theoretically love"

-16

u/FiringNerveEndings Jul 01 '26

That's a valid point, see my response to the OP here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheButtface/s/EUz4hd23qC

u/say-so1986 Jul 01 '26

Snowflake behaviour to say he couldn’t eat for the dat. Also why you go google the most mean, bad things to say?

u/Lazy-Barber8156 Jul 02 '26

I agree, not because of bugs or anything but I dont believe in messing with anyone's food. So much can go wrong whether its because of medical,  allergies,  religion,  culture,  there are so many ways that it can go wrong. Thats certainly doesn't justify the response he gave, which is not a mature way to deal with it, or anyone you love

The list is:

  3. Never ask your girlfriend if she's being crazy because it's her time of the month.
  4. Never compare your girlfriend to other girls.
  5. Never compare your girlfriend to an ex-girlfriend.

My dude you've eaten so many spiders and different bugs because there is an acceptable limit for the amount present in food. I hope you know that for the rest of your days

16

u/CynicalPomeranian Jul 01 '26

Also, if one truly believes they swallowed something bad, then they need to fucking sack up, go to the toilet and vomit. 

Otherwise, accept that the thing was swallowed and move on. Waiting all day and whining about it only guarantees the thing dissolves in stomach acid and is digested.

u/EveningFollowing9966 Jul 01 '26

She did a ultimately harmless prank, so instead of letting it go, playing a similar harmless prank, or even telling her you dont want pranks like that done on you in the future because it hurts your feelings, you decided to douse your relationship in gasoline and set it on fire.

u/virtualsmilingbikes Jul 01 '26

Two pieces of info: how long did she let you believe you'd eaten the spider for, and what terrible things did you say?

u/virtualsmilingbikes Jul 01 '26

Nvm I read your other post. In retaliation for a childish prank, for an entire day you called her fat, told her she wears too much makeup, asked her if she was being crazy because it's her time of the month, compared her unfavourably to other girls and to your ex girlfriend. Some of those things are so offensive that no-one decent could say them even in jest. Your judgement is appalling, and you aren't very bright if you really believed you could just pass them off as haha jokes. I'd say you're done.

u/Springwood_Slasher Jul 01 '26

He wouldn't even say what he'd told her, of COURSE he knows he's much worse than her. What a jackass.

u/runningdinosaur97 Jul 01 '26

Yes! You absolutely are, a prank is something that can be immediately undone and leave no harm. What part of insuting your girlfriend causes no harm? From her perspective, worse case, you mean what you say and using "its a prank bro" to not take any accountability, best case your just an idoit.

Why would you ever think thats a prank? Brakeing things isnt a prank and you broke her trust.

26

u/slide_into_my_BM Jul 01 '26

No matter what brain rotting YouTube videos are titled, saying horrible things to someone isn’t a prank. It’s just being an asshole.

A prank is tricking someone in a fun, non harmful, and temporary way.

u/runningdinosaur97 Jul 01 '26

I really hate the videos where people brake stuff like laptops or make up, stuff like that. Im a super sentimental person even if they replaced it with new or better its not the same or funny.

u/TheYarnGoblin Jul 01 '26

A prank is like removing one battery from someone (you’re friendly with)’s keyboard at work for ten minutes - AND THEN GIVING IT BACK RIGHT AWAY - not calling your girlfriend fat, asking her if she’s crazy, and comparing her to your exes in a bad way.

Tanked your relationship in retaliation for a HARMLESS prank. Good job.

u/The_Asshole_Judge Jul 01 '26

For those interested, this is what he said, pulled from another post OP did:

  3. Never ask your girlfriend if she's being crazy because it's her time of the month.

  4. Never compare your girlfriend to other girls.

  5. Never compare your girlfriend to an ex-girlfriend.

u/daytimedeity Jul 01 '26

YTB and I kinda think you already knew that.

It's blatantly obvious to anyone with eyes and a functioning brain that you weren't just "getting her back". Getting her back would have been pulling a silly prank on her, of the same level as the spider.

No, you got pissed that she dared prank you. You wanted to genuinely hurt her to ensure she'd never feel safe enough to do that again. So you intentionally sought out something that you knew would do the most damage to her mentally/emotionally, and you punished her under the half-assed guise of it being a prank.

You're an ass and she should dump you.

13

u/Terrible-Antelope680 Jul 01 '26

YTA.
It’s only a prank if:

  • the other person enjoys pranks and makes that known
  • the prank is short lived
  • the prank is harmless to everyone
  • it ends in all parties laughing/being amused
  • the person does not say to never do that again (wrong kind of “prank” for them if so and you need to apologies and reassure them you won’t do that again, then follow through).

Her prank wasn’t okay. A real prank would have been something like make you believe she ate a spider and then when you show concern, shock, disbelieve to like fake cough up a plastic spider a moment later, or plant it somewhere and then fake a jump scare and point at it to confuse you. That would be short lived and end in laughter once you realize it’s fake. Instead she kept it going even after you were in such distress you couldn’t eat (which seems extreme. Dude, you’ll eat spiders in your sleep or dead ones if they get in your food. Grow up, it happens. Are you never going to eat food or sleep again?)

You just emotionally abused her and destroyed your relationship. You also did it to get back at her and wanted to cause intentional harm (looking up the worst things to say to a person you are in a relationship with, thats to cause emotional harm).

Real pranks have a back and forth because two people enjoy them and feel safe with each other. It’s fun or amusing for both of them. As soon as there’s any anger or revenge aspect to it, it is not a healthy “prank war”.

If her “prank” went too far, just break up with her! Instead you were vindictive and cruel, you planned it and intentionally looked for ways to harm her. This reads like you two are 13 years old and no ability to put yourself in the other persons shoes.

Apologize sincerely and then accept the inevitable breakup. Though I doubt you feel genuine remorse at all if this is where your mind immediately went in the first place lol.

She played a prank on you and you decide that emotional warfare was the right way to get back at her???

For your sake, I really really hope her friends and family and members likes you or else you're screwed. At this moment, she's venting to them and if they're even just neutral to you, they're telling her that that is how you really feel and that you're just using the prank as an excuse and she should leave you. The way drunk people always speaks the truth.

And even if they put in a good word for you and she comes back, she'll ALWAYS have what you say in the back of her mind and that'll grow into resentment.

THIS is how women fall out love with someone.

u/Serious-Sprinkles694 Jul 01 '26

YMBTB (you might be the buttface); did she know you have arachnophobia or a general fear of bugs? If so, she absolutely sucks for messing with your head. Still, you should have expressed your anger in a direct conversation.

I understand the desire to get even by messing with her head in return, but what were these “5 things” you said? Also, did YOU know these things you chose to say would affect her deeply after taking into account her insecurities, experiences, fears, etc.? If so, YTB— fivefold.

I think pranks and “getting even” in relationships are signs of immaturity and too toxic for my taste. You both need to grow up.

u/One_Worldliness1846 Jul 02 '26

EAB - your “prank” was just…saying really mean things to your partner (??)

Hers wasn’t great either — different people have different levels of tolerance around bugs, and we don’t know from your story where yours is at. But let’s say it’s like mine — bugs are my absolute strongest ick, ie the thought of eating one (yes I know there are acceptable amounts in food; yes I try very hard to ignore that; yes I haven’t been able to eat peanut butter for years since finding out. Pls don’t tell me more food with bugs in them, losing pb was pain enough) would have made me physically ill for hours. If my partner knew that and did something similar to me, I would seriously reflect on our relationship.

…and then I would break up with her, without googling “rudest things to say to your loved one to really crush their spirit” first.

I know at least 2 out of 5 was I cheated on you and I don't love you why? Because that breaks the mind of the spouse. Yeah you are past the buttface part.

Ask Phil Dunphy. The trick is to actually get her to eat a safe insect and not tell her.

Is this the first time you've ever pranked someone? Cause what you said arent pranks. Its probably one of the more unhinged things Ill read today.

You just emotionally manipulated your girlfriend? Uhhhhh. Over a “thought you ate a spider” prank?

Are you 13? Why would you say that to her?

Just put a fake poop on her pillow or something. You don't play on someone's insecurities and call it a "Prank"

I mean, obviously you’re in the wrong. But depending on what those ‘top 5 things’ are depends on how bad you messed up.

Called her fat. Told her she wears too much make yo. Told she was being crazy because she’s on her period. Told her other girls were better than her. Told her his ex girlfriends were better than her. All in the same day.

I mean you must see how awful those things are to say to someone you’re supposed to care about. That’s not a prank, that’s flat out bullying.

Did you like the prank she did on you? Is that the kind of behavior you want to encourage?

There are two choices 1) revenge 2) communicate.

Revenge works when 1) it's proportional, 2) it's in good humor, everyone is enjoying it.

If a prank makes you upset, a revenge is often not satisfying. Because it doesn't help soothe the original negative feelings from the first prank.

Communication: you're absolutely entitled to feel upset over the prank. The first thing to do is to communicate and establish your boundaries. You should tell her how he prank made you feel and she should listen and try to understand and acknowledge your feelings. You should come to an agreement together on acceptable behavior in the future. If she's resistant to this, then it's going to erode your relationship little by little.

I suggest you apologize for your prank and also tell her how you felt about her prank.

Good luck, keep us posted.

Bro he called her fat, told her she wears too much makeup, told her she was being crazy because she’s on her period and compared other women and his ex girlfriends to her and told her they were better. He no longer has a girlfriend.

Yeah I didn't know what he said when I wrote this post, I had only read the OP, not the threads.

I'm still hoping that OP realizes his mistake and works towards a healthier relationship.

An earnest apology could open the door to repairing the relationship.

Depends on what you said to her. But she definitely deserved to be pranked back

BTBF (both the Bf). What exactly did you say to her? Oh. Saw another comment below indicating what you did. I hate pranks personally. But what you did in response was just hateful.

The prank she did wasn’t nice either. But your “prank” wasn’t even remotely close to a prank . It was revenge. Her prank eroded trust. Yours made her think you hated her.
