QUESTIONS THIS EPISODE:
Voicemail:
Hi, this is Rolando first initial R last name ____ last name initial L. My question is do I have a friend who wants to hang out one because I just moved to the new city of Los Angeles. The issue is off work friends. Then we became lovers then we became friends but and didn't work out many years passed and now they want to become friends again. Is that a good idea? I should have any advise. That's it.
REDDIT: She said she doesnt remember my name, wtf?
Me and my gf have been together for 6 months, she calls me by a few nicknames, I call her by some too but I never thought that she called me by those nicknames because she literally doesnt know my name. Im speechless. I was having a few doubts about a few things in our relationship, so I took advice from some people and I went on to talk to her, we sorted almost everything out and then I tried to lighten the conversation by telling her the name of a guy that sounded funny, I asked her if she thought my name was funny. She made excuses that she was feeling tired, tried to divert the conversation to a different topic but when I asked again she told me she doesnt know what my name is. I asked her if she was kidding and she said she was not. She left an hour or so ago and now Im genuinely having a WTF moment. She said it was because she was forgetful and doesnt remember names well. But how is that even possible, to "forget" your own bf's name whom she's been with for 6months.. She sounded so casual about it.. is this a common thing in relationships?
REDDIT: AITA For beating my girlfriend in Mario Party and bragging about it
My girlfriend (28) and I (30) have been together for 5 months and met in college. We don’t usually fight but what we do is make up before heading to bed. The situation from last night concerns me. I just recently bought a switch with mario party because I used to play that game with my buddies and this is my girlfriend’s first time playing a switch game. I asked my girlfriend to play with me on our date night. We were getting competitive with each other and I noticed she was winning so I decided to sabotage her by stealing her coins and stars the whole time. I ended up winning the game and I decided to rub it in her face to tease her. She got her feelings hurt and she decided to go home without saying anything to me. Its been 24 hours and shes not answering my calls. I dont think I did anything wrong and I think shes taking it personally but AITA?
REDDIT: AITA for getting upset at this game of monopoly?
I had 3 railroads and a single orange property. I wanted to trade my 3 railroads for the other two oranges. The person with the oranges refused, but was trying to trade the two oranges for the last yellow they needed for a monopoly.
The guy with the yellow refused, so I offered my three railroads for the yellow, which was accepted. I then tried to trade the yellow for the two oranges, but was then told that she wanted the railroads. I got a bit upset at this, and she told me that’s how the game is played, and she was still weighing her options. She refused the yellow which is what she wanted in the first place...
Am I the asshole for getting upset and quitting the game after having made a horrible trade that I had expected to get me to a better trade?
