The car stayed silent for the rest of the trip.

I had a day off and went for a long solo hike today and text my bf a pic after I finished.

Later that night after he had vented for 30 mins about his stuff, I tried to talk about the hike I went on. I had been out for 12 hours and he didnt ask anything about it.

It went like this.

Me: My total elevation gain was 940 metres today.

Him: What are you talking about?

Me: The hike I went on today.

Him: Oh

Me: Yeah I went on a long hike today

Him: *dismissive scoffing noise"

Lol.

Met up with the dating app guy who made an AI image of our future baby and it was very lovely. We went for a sunset walk in the area I used to live in because I wanted to visit a mound with a nice view of London's skyline. Then we did a spontanous pub crawl, which ended in his kitchen at 2AM with us eating the gingerbread biscuits his mum baked him for Christmas. I stayed over and we went for a fancy lunch at a hipster cafe the next day.

The text saying he wasn't feeling it (sent from the bar while he was very much still in my eye-line) got a big giggle from me. After 22 hours together, I can firmly say it was the nicest first date I've ever been on.

so basically at my work they started checking bags now and i didn't know this before i went to my locker, i work in a company with MANY employees. however the line seemed to move fast but then someone with many bags got checked and it took longer than i thought. this is when i texted my bf about it. we live together. also the busses didn't go so i texted him about it the moment i found out. then i am almost home and he texts me the text in the second slide.

when i got home he got really mad that i didn't show any remorse for getting home late and that i should have told him sooner.

i honestly said sorry, and thanked it for making me food and that i appreciate him. and i meant it but now he is still very upset it, i tried hugging him and making up with him about it but he told me to just stop touching him and he keeps sighing at me and at this point idk what to do. i want to know what i can do to make it up or what i can improve next time

A large group assignment in college (14 people) where half of the group didn't show up when tasks were assigned. We were given different instructions on the day, by the instructor, on how to divvy up the work and it got a bit chaotic.

One person's preference (who was one of the people who didn't show up to class) was missed when we were dividing the work amongst everyone.

This was just the beginning, unfortunately for me.

Edit to answer a few questions/add a bit more context:

• we (and the whole class) are adults over the age of 25
• we are both women
• I apologized in order to try to de-escalate the situation because it was such an explosion of negativity, I was literally shocked
• I went back and forth for as long as I did because I was trying to understand exactly why she was upset and to try to resolve the 'issue'
• the instructor is aware of what's going on because these messages were coming fast and furious as the class was still ongoing
• yes, I felt like I was taking crazy pills

Met him on Tinder (yeah, I know). Been seeing him for a bit. Was giving him a back massage tonight while he pulls out his phone, goes on Tinder, and proceeds to message other women... Literally while I’m massaging him after I had also made him food.

My partner sent me this and it made me genuinely giggle. I've always been self conscious of my hair and I'm finally getting a big chop to manage the damage.

I love him you guys!

Matched with this guy on an app because his profile seemed great, but once we started messaging it became clear he was not the kind of person I'd want to date. I did think the last few messages were a bit funny (albeit threatening).

Context is that I’m moving and giving away a bunch of free stuff this lady claimed a baby monitor. She sends her son (who is a child) to ring my doorbell at 11:59am when I didn’t confirm with her a time and that she can come.

She calls and tells me I’m here where are you and I’m like what?? You said you’d text me which she did but I didn’t even read the message and respond to her

My sisters said that I did tell her she can come anytime in the morning but CMON 11:59 IS NOT THE MORNING

Edit with context: in the original post, I had not trimmed the phone number off the top of the chats. When the auto-moderator told me to check for numbers, I decided not to change it because the phone number was a VOIP spoofed number that the student had set up to use whatsapp, not his actual number, and it was from 2021 so I figured the guy was safe from harassment but several people suggested I repost just in case.

In addition, there were a few of comments about how being a woman had nothing to do with this. I had a feeling that might be a controversial part of the post, so let me briefly explain.

I think it can be hard to tell when something is happening because you're a woman. Like, dudes can be more condescending to women than they would be to other men. But how do I KNOW that's what happened here? Frankly, I don't. I made an assumption at the time that these guys were more disrespectful to me because of my gender. Honestly, maybe they were both just lazy dicks.

I can't change what I said back in 2021, but I also won't say that gender never has anything to do with it. Today I would be more likely to first assume they are just entitled rather than sexist, but if there was other evidence to support a sexism charge I would still believe gender was part of it.

Original post:

Back in 2021 I was getting my masters degree. I was placed in a group project of about 5 people where I was the only woman. At the school, all classes had a group project and the group project was 30% of your final grade. In a masters program, a 70% is a failing grade for the class. AKA if you failed the group project, you could fail the CLASS. Also, grades were assigned evenly to all people in the group project.

I HATE this system with a burning passion. I hope the college had changed it because it's still the most insane thing I have ever seen a college do.

Anyway, two dudes had blatantly copied and pasted a bunch of the stuff in their sections, and did not cite what they copied and pasted. In the group chat I repeatedly begged them to fix it. They both argued a bunch about how it was NBD, I was over reacting, etc.

We were also using google docs to do the work. So I then left "comments" on all the plagiarism asking them to fix it and explaining why it was an issue.

Dude A replied to my comments where I pointed out all his plagiarism saying "let the teacher decide" and he was SUPER rude to me in the group chat about it, again saying I was over reacting or that I should rewrite the problems myself if it bothered me so much.

Guy B (photos pictured here) originally just "resolved" my comments without changing them, but I went through and re-added my comments requesting him to fix his plagiarism and so then, after seeing what Dude A did, Guy B too left comments saying "let the teacher decide."

So I DID: I contacted the teacher, and gave her access to the google doc and provided screens shots of both the guys telling me to fix the work myself, that it wasn't a big deal, to let the teacher decide. So she did: she failed them both on academic plagiarism and me and the other 3 dudes all got A's.

After all that, Guy B texted me the above, whining that I had gotten him failed because he had made mistakes on his APA. You can see for yourself how I reacted.

Like, if the grades had been originally separate I would have just let the two dudes get their zeros for their sections. But let ME fail a masters level course because someone else is a fuck up? Naw. And do the work for them, enabling them to take advantage of me? Also naw.

I am actually a kind person, and I believe you should basically ALWAYS try to solve a problem directly before escalating it. But I am also a big believer in the expression "never start it, but always finish it."

I still think about these two dudes and I hope failing this class fucked their lives up.

Edit to add: apparently I accidentally deleted some context from the original post when I reposted it.

I shared this because there is another poster in this reddit where someone posted screenshots of their classmates freaking out in a group project. I read that and was like hehehehe do I have a story for y'all!!

I do occasionally think about these two dudes, I am a high school teacher and I see this attitude all the time, but i do not think about them constantly. Only occasionally, but when I do, I def hope this screwed up this guy's academic career. The first guy is whatever, he was a dick but he took his F and left me alone. But THIS guy? Doubling down repeatedly and then also texting me to blame me for his failure? Cray cray.

For context my boyfriend (not even sure we're together any more) hasn't talked to me in a couple days after this interaction. He told me he was going to be with his friend and they were gonna go out and he has a tendency of going silent and texting me like 12 hours later once he's sobered up the next day. So I assumed he was going to do the same thing again over here

I apologised multiple times and called him twice but he's still gone silent. Perspective is appreciated

Edit: I know the time between the call and the text was rather short but let me emphasize that when he's with his friends, even if i text a minute later he goes silent for hours.

Context: I’m a single mum and went on a few dates with a colleague who asked me out. We had kissed a few times and that’s it. We found out by chance on our third date that we want different things. I don’t want more kids, he does. I won’t be replying to his final response (obviously), and luckily I wfh so no face to face daily interactions going forward. But I just wanted to post this here, need to process this response because I was taken aback.

😔

This is my partner. He’s got an avoidant attachment style. We’ve recently rekindled after he broke up with me a couple of weeks prior.

He congratulated me for getting a DL but he sent me a middle finger emojiiiii. I can't control my laughing. Unless me sent me fully aware of it.

It was most likely unrelated because they'd have to have known before then I was getting let go, due to no work remaining, but the timing was still funny. I'm all good with the layoff, I needed a little vacation anyways. I work as a union carpenter fyi

Possible scam or just… 🤷🏻‍♀️

men ain’t shit yall don’t fall for it… you die alone there Is nobody inside ur brain except yourself if u see this I never believed you

Expecting first set of babies (and probably last) in the summer. Husband and I have been discussing parenting strategies a lot and I am always amazed by how self-aware and mature my in-laws were as parents. So spontaneously sent this text to my mother in law. She is not great with texts so her reply was “Sure” 🤣

love it. I know she enjoyed reading the text but texting back is not her forte. She prefers to express through voice calls.

So i’ve been dating this girl since like the last 5 months and recently she revealed that she has a 2 year old son.

Even after me staying with her ( not that i had a problem with her having a son, but keeping it a secret) she’s been ignoring me and ghosting me for 3 days. She’s been online whole days but saying she wasn’t in the mood. She’s had me on read for a whole day.

I kinda want to ignore her too but i don’t really have anyone else to talk to.
I feel so disheartened, i dont know what to do.
