AITA for "forcing" my best friend to break up with his boyfriend?

🧸

I (22 cis m) and my best friend 'A' (21 ftm) have been friends since we were 10 years old and I love him more than anything. He’s genuinely the sweetest, most thoughtful, and funniest person I’ve ever met. He means everything to me and we’ve been there for each other through the hardest times of our lives so far and I plan on staying until the end.

It’s always been us two. Btw, everyone mentioned here uses he/him pronouns exclusively.

A has been with his boyfriend (21 cis m) for about 2 years now, and from what he told me, things were going great. Even if I’m not too fond of his boyfriend. A few days ago, we got pretty drunk at a friend’s housewarming party. A and I live together, and as soon as we got home, he suddenly started rambling about how he wishes his boyfriend cared about him the same way I do.

Legit felt like I was in some dumb romance movie for a moment there. I felt a little uneasy and asked him to elaborate. In short, his boyfriend essentially treats him like a doll instead of a person with real emotions. He feels as though his boyfriend just uses him to get his daily fix of physical affection and sex, that’s it. The only positive thing his boyfriend can say about A is that he’s cute, which boggles my mind. It’s true but there’s so much more to him as a human being.

A is an incredibly talented artist, super kind, super emotionally intelligent, and has a plethora of interests he loves to infodump about. I’m trying my hardest not to make this entire post about how amazing he is. He’s helped multiple friends clean their depression apartments and took them out to get fresh groceries etc. because it’s basic decency to him. He has such a big heart and holds so much love in it for everyone in his life. Being around him is just so easy and makes life worth living.

He’s just an incredible person all around and every single person that has him in their life recognizes that, except his boyfriend. They’ve had issues in the past because they’re not sexually compatible, which led to some miscommunication and made A feel like he was coerced into things he didn’t want to do. He just did them to make his boyfriend happy. He does a lot of things for his boyfriend, actually. He’s constantly buying little gifts, remembering what he likes, and plans cute dates for them to go on. His boyfriend does none of these things.

I want to mention that A has bpd and avpd. He has an intense fear of rejection and will do everything in his power to appease others so they won’t leave him. I always take the time to reassure him that I love him for who he is and not what he can give me. Basically just making sure he feels loved. Keep in mind, his boyfriend is aware of this but he just gets annoyed when A seeks reassurance from him. His behavior has made my blood boil several times in the past already, but I always kept it to myself for A’s sake. If I was vocal about disliking his boyfriend, it probably would’ve caused A a lot of distress and emotional turmoil.

Still, I don’t think this relationship is healthy for A and I know him well enough to know he won’t break it off on his own. It’s just his combo of personality disorders that makes it impossible for him. I told him about my concerns and he agreed, but said he feels bad for his boyfriend since he apparently doesn’t have any friends outside of A. From my POV, it just looks like his boyfriend knows A is out of his league and is grasping at straws to make A stay with him out of pity.

This is where I might be the asshole. I got a little frustrated and raised my voice, which I severely regret. I don’t want to blame it on the alcohol but it definitely had a hand in it. I finally told him about all these grievances I have about his boyfriend, how much I dislike him and how A deserves so much better, etc.. At one point, I essentially gave him an ultimatum. It’s me or his boyfriend. I didn’t really mean it, it was just a heat of the moment thing I spat out. I would never leave him like that.

A started crying and begged me to calm down, at which point I realized how shitty I was being and immediately began apologizing. We hugged, I comforted him, and we spent the rest of the night cuddling and talking about how he could approach the breakup.

Now that I’ve sobered up I feel like absolute shit. I know it’s not my place to tell A what to do with his romantic relationships, even if I’m his best friend. Plus, I want to be 100% honest here and say I might have romantic feelings for A. I think I have for a long time, but I always wrote it off as intense platonic love. So I may be biased in this whole conversation about his boyfriend.

I didn’t say these things because of that. I genuinely think his boyfriend is a huge dick and full of shit, no matter how sweet and loving he pretends to be. It’s all in the way he treats A. He’s one of those guys that paint their nails (nothing wrong with that but you know the kind of guy I’m talking about), pretend to be feminists, and steal their romantic partner’s personality to seem cooler. He even asked A to stop taking testosterone because he didn’t like how hairy A was getting or some shit like that.

He’s pansexual but has only ever dated girls and started dating A before A began medically transitioning. There’s obviously nothing wrong with that and changes nothing about the fact that he’s pansexual, he just pisses me off when he criticizes A for being 'too masculine'. You can have a preference for feminine people but don’t make that shit your partner’s problem when they just want to pass.

I feel like A’s boyfriend just thought A would always stay the smooth, baby-faced twink he was before going on testosterone and now makes him feel guilty for looking like a grown man. Some people don’t know how to appreciate hairy tummies.

Sorry for making this so long but I just want to be as honest and informative as possible to get proper opinions on the issue. A is now dead set on breaking things off because he now knows that I actively despise his boyfriend and he always puts my opinion above everyone else’s.

Was I in the wrong for doing this or am I just protecting my best friend? I’m glad he intends on ending things but I feel a bit like a conniving snake considering everything. It feels like I’m taking advantage of his mental state even if I’m not doing it consciously.

want to know your thoughts about 2.2 and the massive sunday lore drop 😈 also ive read ur thoughts about him and yea now i know why i vibe with sunday immediately from the get go bc he reminds me of myself too 😭

OH MY GOD THE SUNDAY LORE DROP........ I have some things to add to my characterization of him now and MANY thins to say......... Also, since I'll be talking about spoilers, I'll put it under the cut!

Personally, I love contrasts and parallels when it comes to characters, so Sunday and Robin opposing each other's ideas of "harmony" and "dreams" and "paradise" and "freedom" is so good. I love how the bird metaphor comes into play (what do you do with a baby bird? cage it or let it fly free?) with Sunday, and how he decides that "order" is the best way to achieve a perfect paradise. I also love the religious themes with him, especially because Sunday is definitely a person who thinks suffering is a virtue. Bro read The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas and took it a little too seriously!!!

All jokes aside, I definitely think Sunday's emotional core is his sister. Like before he is the head of the Oak Family or even Sunday, he is Robin's brother. Their relationship is so integral to who he is, and it's hard to talk about him without talking about her. She's so important to him!!! Their promise to create a paradise is so dear to his heart, even if the way they want to achieve is different. I genuinely believe Robin is a stronger person than Sunday because he is the one trapped in the cage, and she's the one who tries to fly even if she stumbles, to bring back the metaphor. Where Robin's altruism leads her to help and inspire others, Sunday's altruism leads him to control and make choices for them.

There's something about how Robin believes in the inherent goodness of humanity, even when she gets hurt, and how Sunday is more nihilistic and pessimistic. He truly believes that the best way to make everyone happy is by trapping them in a dream, because reality is cruel and unfair, and people get hurt so easily, and the "strong" will not protect the "weak." Only in a dream can everyone be truly equal. There's an altruistic angle to his argument, but it's also inherently selfish, because he decides he's the one who knows best and is the only one who can carry out his plans to make everyone happy at his expense. Self-sacrifice is selfish, too, and Sunday gives me the vibes of the he has a more "divine" altruism that can only sympathize with others by condescending or looking down on them. Because people who you think need your protection are inherently less powerful/more weak than you.

If Robin is a singer, then he's a conductor. He knows best, and he'll willingly shoulder the burden of protecting the dream for the sake of others. This speaks to a lack of trust in people, too, and a deep streak of hyper-independence, where he can't rely on anyone else and prefers to do it all himself (because only he can do it right/only he should be the one to bear the burden of doing it). He's giving lonely oldest sibling martyr complex, and someone so set in his ways that you need to quite literally beat his ass to make him stop and see otherwise.

Now, I love messy characters, so when I interpret Sunday, I will lean into those messy aspects. I think he's someone who can't get close to others through conventional means, and it's exceedingly uncomfortable for him to be open. He's guarded and cagey, and he needs to express his emotions through 1000 layers of pretension, mind games and power plays (his favorite love languages) because it's never that simple with him!!! I think his feelings can be passionate, but in a way that's a little intense and all-consuming and manipulative <3 He thinks birds need to be kept in cages for their protection, after all, and the fear of the bird getting hurt means he's a very devoted warden.

(It must be mentioned he didn't try to dissuade Robin from leaving Penacony, but her getting shot frightened him and made him reconsider if he should have supported her so readily. His control issues stem from a fear of his loved ones getting hurt, but at the same time, he wants them to be happy more than anything. He's overprotective....)

Having very big thoughts about spirituality and humanity.. alas I am never articulate enough so I'm just gonna rent in the tags as always

#IDK #like also im from Quebec and the relation to spirituality/religion here is strange #i wish i could have a conversation with someone about it 😭 #and like spirituality is such an important part of the human experience? #hhh idk how to explain what im feeling but #anyways. #im very thankful to have found faith in my life i believe it is making me a better person #a year ago i discovered one of my best friend has very bad religious trauma #her point of view on any and all spirituality was really bad (still sort of is) #but to completely dismiss religion in regard to human life is not the way!! #i was glad to explain to her what religion meant to me and like yea i did grow up thinking religion was a little stupid #but that was because all i was taught about religion was through christian lenses #i truly love discussing with religious people about our beliefs and how it affects our day to day #like my old colleague who was muslim was always happy to talk to me about Islam and her name-sake Aisha #like idk #idk ok!! #spirituality can be very beautiful and i have many feelings about it

AU where Tim's family is connected to the Court of Owls rather than Dick's, and Tim decides to go undercover as a member of the Court

alt version and explanation under the cut

(Disclaimer: I know the court of owls storyline happens in the n52 continuity, but for my own sake (as i don't really like tim's whole deal in it lol) this AU is using pre-n52 backstories and characterizations)

In this AU, Janet Drake was a member of the Court of Owls, unbeknownst to Jack and Tim. Bruce eventually finds this out, but chooses to keep it from Tim to protect him. Tim, of course, finds out that Bruce is keeping this from him, and, feeling betrayed both by Bruce and his own mother, decides to infiltrate the Court on his own. The court has been sending him cryptic invitations ever since Bruce announced his initiative to improve Gotham, looking for a way into both the Wayne family and WE. As a member of the Court, Tim is able to gather information to help stop them, but in order to maintain his cover, he is forced into many situations where he is forced to choose between compromising his morals or compromising his position in the Court.

#tim drake #red robin #batman #court of owls #dc comics #the court of owls #dc fanart #i haven't fully finished the court of owls storyline. it lost me when they said that the graysons were connected to the court of owls #like. tim is right there. he has a mysterious long-dead parent who was both rich and gone literally all the time #that's literally perfect for this kind of story!!!!! why did they have to choose dick for it instead???? #anyway this AU concept kind of took over my entire brain the instant i started reading the story #the explanation is kind of long but i promise its even longer in my own head #i really do think an infiltration mission would have suited the court storyline best #bc then we could see all of the messed up stuff the court gets up to!!! #they have a massive torture labyrinth for god's sake!!!! give me some gladiator fights!! #give me some messed up human hunts a la the most dangerous game!!! #anyway. i might post more about this concept later #art #my art #weaverofink

My favorite (and sadly completely non existant in fandom) characterization of Hunk and Lance is that they are completely Normal™ people except there's also something clearly wrong with them but the rest are either too alien(Coran and Allura), too socially reclusive(Pidge and Keith), or just dont interact with them enough(Shiro) to notice

#Listen Hunk thinks it's completely ok to read someone else's diary #And Lance saw a presumed dead guy being alive a big fuck off lion and an honest to god actual space princess and went #'Huh. Neat! Gonna check it all out!' #I'll even say these 2 are driven most by curiosity just for the sake of curiosity about people #Lance will be like: this is my new friend i cant pronounce their name in human tongue so they allowed me to call them Steve #and Steve is a fucking biblical accurate angel #And then he disappears with steve and Hunk's like 'dont worry guys i have put a tracer on him we'll find him soon ☺️' #Allura: do... do humans do that? Put tracers on each other? #Hunk: it's with permission and yeah best friends do!! #Keith and Pidge who have never been in a friend group that wasnt immediate family before: i mean that sounds wrong #But i dont know enough about friends to dispute it #Shiro who has been dissocciating for an hour and did not hear a single thing: whatever hunk said it's probably right #lance voltron #vld lance #lance mcclain #hunk voltron #hunk vld #hunk garrett #voltron #voltron legendary defender #empty thoughts #takashi shirogane #katie holt #keith kogane #keith voltron #vld keith #allura vld #allura voltron

Sigh. Thinking abt Joker having a lot of difficulty comforting people but seeing Bats having a breakdown over smth and trying his damndest anyway because by god if he doesn't love his Bat more than anything else in the world

#hic sniffle #look i just think that joker Trying for bats in general #it's so. #nothing matters in this world but you #I don't see the point in trying but you do and I love you so I'll try for your sake #I don't understand how to be human but I hate seeing you like this so I'll try my best regardless

Do it again is to me what atus was to 2019 hermitcraft fans. as in that's canon to me. as in i become so annoying every time anything reminds me of it

i still don't know what the initials atus stand for but as i comprehend it it's basically what the professor's wife is to 2011 xxxholic fans which is, transitively, the highest compliment you could give. thank you

#peter answers #not a fair comparison actually since my point of reference is a fix it fic. #and in fact it is by a wide and perfect margin the best fix it fic ever penned in human history #testimonials #save tag #i dont evne know how to express my actual feelings thru the shock. i think that. my writing being thought of and returned to is like #theeee highest compliment it is what i hope for. not for my sake but to write something that feels connected and grounded & to come back to #so. thank you!!! #also i still dont know what that initialism stands for and i hope nobody ever tells me bc it's funnier if i dont

[saint-gallier]

Me

there are things that i'm feeling, an opinion that has been building up and i'm not sure if i can think that way. to be scared id be considered as stupid or extreme or else

we discard feelings entirely when things like this happen. it's all about expressing something that is primal, whether it's rage or disgust or anger or deny, etc.

Him

My French landlady at the pub is annoyed that the British don't know how to rise up.

But yes what is happening is awful

18:53 what do you consider awful? please tell me.

Him We were just discussing it in the pub. How the French government aren't giving an inch and referring to rioters as mutinous vermin. Crazy. Our government would still flounce around the issue but not openly say things like that.

19:03 It's not telling what your opinion actually is.

Him I'm not sure what my opinion is! It's just sad. There isn't very much about it in the news here. Perhaps they don't want us to be inspired.

The French have always been better at protesting for their rights than us. We just made protesting illegal.

19:08 That's a very fair answer. Few words but i thank you. The thing is that i don't accept these riots. Not because i don't think they're legitimate but because, well, i think two things are already being accepted: that the rioters fell into complete disgrace from the population, or at least a large part. Destruction in all its forms are not acceptable, even within the most legitimate combat. Especially today and i do think social media played a part in the spreading of the violence. Because it's not Paris only, it's Marseille, it's Lyon, it's everywhere. The second thing is that the government let a situation that was brewing, immigrants that witnessed how they were let down generation after generation after they've been welcomed so well after the war.. The rioters are for the most part children of these generations. Their fight is legitimate. Factually and i'll try to stay on facts only, how it blew up in our face, after a teenager got killed by a policeman - and factually, even the initial tragedy is filled with ambiguous components which puts me in the situation of saying "yes BUT", how it's raging right now reaches such a level of wrong that i cannot fathom my anger. And that anger stands against both sides. I don't accept that the rioters destroyed dozens of infrastructures, the very same structures that welcome them - and there are people that welcome and help them if they feel let down. They have been ravaging the entire system that makes a city function as a city, a society. Stores are material, it's not much upon reflection. But i cannot but reflect that stores mean business, it means giving people employement and the security of leading a normal life, not asking more. Most people don't ask the world, they just want to survive too. The rioters pose as victims, creating more victims of the system. And obviously, my dear government is not willing to do anything towards helping anyone. It's like a candle burning from both sides and i, because this is how my life is right now, is standing right in the middle. Just like most people. And it's bloody scary. It's fucking unbelievingly frightening. That my government, which saw it coming years ago, didn't act anything into helping the people. By people i mean everyone, every single one of us. This is my true feeling, that the government put so much effort into disaggregating the system little by little, every social aspect of our lives. The government is so much accountable from every decision it took over the years. But on the same side, the rioters, young, benevolent if they're guided well, display such cruelty in their actions, because nothing is left behind, they destroyed town halls, stores, public transports, police cars, firetrucks… schools, libraries, pharmacies etc. They freed animals, lions have been spotted. It's not anarchy. I'd go on a limb and say this is not how anarchy looks like. They're not doing for the good of the people, well that is hard to believe but at the same time, i am not able to hear anything from them, what do they think. Destruction brings chaos. They didn't march side by side to protest about the killing of a teenager, and i know it's a very concerning subject, but sacking stores and burning schools are not helping them, it won't help anyone, it will bring more chaos until darkness falls. My then question is: what is the purpose of all this? What will happen after?

Him It will all blow over…. eventually.

19:37 And to be honest, some things suggest that they will come after people, and they already started. Mayor's spouse got attacked during the night, taking her young children outisde, breaking her own leg, after rioters pushed a burning car into their house. And this is the breaking point to me. You don't get to hurt innocent people when you're angry at the system. And i mean children. A baby got hurt with shard of glasses.

Him That's fucking terrible.

19:40 It breaks my spirit so hard. I see people on the net, friends and so on who go on with their lives. My sister says to that "i cannot stop living because of what they do". And she's right but i cannot stop thinking that we should. We should be worried. About the way they achieved it. About the way the government showed nothing but disdain, claiming - you're going to love this - that video games are part of the problem. Well, you know what? Even if what Macron said that, which is the stupidest thing he has ever said, visions of riots are the same as in video games. But it's a consequence, not a cause. He's a horrible man. Incomprehension is running wild. It's how you define chaos you know? Chaos is the ultimate form of when you lost control over a situation. In that case, it has been brewing for years.

Him That's a way of looking at it. The gilet jaune thing went on for a long time, and that was a few years back

19:44 The government is responsible. You blame the government, not the people living in the place where the government acts (or doesn't act), you don't get to hurt the firemen who are exhausted to break fires.

Him

The French police force has become incredibly militarised over the last few years. That much has been clear. Perhaps losing compassion in the process.

19:46 Very true. But compassion goes in both ways. For a certain amount of police brutality, there is an equally amount of hurt from people. People hurt people, whether they wear a helmet or not. And leftists cannot tell right wingers compassion is getting low and vice versa. Because signs of violence are everywhere, things that noone can quantify.

Him Civil war in France?

19:50 I dare to have a say now, with you, because it's aching my stomach, and i know you may have some distance to it or perhaps another perspective, indirect but it's still a perspective. A part of the population may be angry now but they don't have the monopole of expressing themselves that way because the way it went so far are apparently opportunistic disruptions such as once again sacking businesses, destroying the forms of education and else; it also leads to more and yes i can say it here - thank you! much less compassion therefore less understanding. i'm done for now, thank you reading me. it's been a trying statement. tomorrow i will think things differently or with an updated mind, as always.

#copy/paste #i don't know what to think #i don't want to go to an extreme point of view nor to be increasingly in denial over the situation #i just hate everyone involved in it #or not #damn my astrological sign has too much power over my own mind #worse part is it's not even about being nice or the best man #we all survive #we try to live our lives #i don't know #france #the humanity #the feelings #people #we define ourselves that way #let's not forget our feelings #and life isn't to be considered as trivial for god's sake #darkness has to be stopped at all costs from every direction #riots #me #personal

I hate being on the internet and being constantly exposed to people's hot takes on important shit. Like people will come out with the most unhinged nonsense and die on their hill as if it makes a lick of sense.

#Im not talking about fandom stuff Im talking about politics and ethics #Ive seen people come out with stuff that falls apart under a millisecond of critical thought or scrutiny #and when thats pointed out they come back with something entirely unrelated as if it debunks #and its like talking to an alien who lives on their own planet #especially when they pull a statistic out of their arse as if putting a number in makes them look smart #which I mean all of this is fine if you're defending a take like ''this artist has the best music evarr!!'' #but not if your hot take is well i think x people dont deserve rights #or anything that promotes harm against someone #the worst take of all is 'this is why we need another [mass world death]' #if you're at the point where you think a strawman group should die for the sake of humanity you really need help #yes that includes when its directed at people in power like men #sorry for the vent Im just incredibly frustrated #levi speaks #tw vent #cw vent #cw politics

[danielnelsen]

trying to think of the best class for a dai solo playthrough.. like on one hand im glad they finally made all the classes important but it really makes this a tough choice

as far as i know, no class-specific abilities are required for story progression? but they are for some side quests.

rogues still probably have the most utility (especially with the lockpicking perk) but im gonna have to spend more time looking into everywhere class-specific abilities are used to actually decide……

#personal #da #dai #not me having at least three future dai playthrough ideas planned already fml #and solo playthroughs take a lot longer too so ive booked out at least 500 hours there #i feel like i shouldn’t do the solo playthrough next because i should try to get a bit more experience with the game #maybe play it on hard first? #the other two playthroughs i want to do are: #1. making all the choices i dont want to make for the sake of completionism #so..pro-chantry; side with the templars; romance cullen; probably play as a human warrior with templar spec lmao #2. playing as my dao warden. kinda weird but i think he’d be a very interesting inquisitor #and of course i also want to work towards getting all the achievements so i should look into that #but back to the topic of the post: #rogues also have the benefit of having ranged and melee weapons #BUT!!!!!! rogues don’t have a protection ability (barrier/guard) #warrior with champion spec might be the best solo for fights #but I feel like warriors are the least useful for class-specific stuff. lockpicking and energise are more important #hmmmm. much to ponder

sometimes i sit there and ask myself why i usually put my drafts before my asks and then i sit there, writing an ask thats already 400+ words in but my muse is not yet finished with it and realise ah, that’s why.

#❛ ♡ › jupiter : 𝐨𝐨𝐜. #FYGVUYFDGVUYDVGDU ive reached my 'unapologetically long replies' stage of writing and i have to admit ... im rlly enjoying it #knowing my writing partners are enjoying that sort of thing too ... makes me immensley happy idek how to put it into words #i do my best not to overwhelm people: aka if you send me more of a greeter ask. i keep them pretty small for the sake of interaction and #wanting to go at someone elses pace #but ive found a lot of partners in the past few months who love writing the long. slow burnish kinda dynamics with me and its meant .... #more than i can put into words actually. i feel so much more comfortable in the lengths i write compared to when #i used to in like 2018(?) and felt tht no one wanted to write too much with me bc i dont shut up ig YUFDVGUYGY #theres no pressure for anyone to reply tht long or like #feel they have to keep up with lengths for me im literally just a dumb human behind a tiny computer screen wanting to give our muses the #novels i think they deserve </3 #u never have to write like. loads for me in return bc #its not about the quality. just the knowledge that you're happy with writing with me in return #i preordered serv.amp vol 16 today bc its coming out next week only to find i might have to wait a month for it .... #but then. THEN. i will have some of the greatest chapters in physical form #( which means a lot bc strike has a habit of changing things to explain the story better in the volume ) #so im sure everyones excited to see me ramble on about chaps 96-100 all over again

i think its also hard for me to consider humans a predator animal despite that they became apex predators in some enviornments because we fucked those enviornments right up. we shouldve just kept hoarding fruits instead of killing every big animal we saw, yknow. when humans became predators is definitely a downfall of our species despite the "evolutionary success"

#i will always choose to see humans for their caring supportive tendencies. those are our BEST features #not even going to mention that later on the mindset of ''predator humans'' is required to justify colonialism #i also really do not believe that every group of humans in every enviornment were apex predators- there is just no way?? #and the thing about humans is they developed cultures- humans create their own niches #i dont feel like its appropriate to say humans are a predator species. we're highly intelligent #like we almost went extinct until we realized how to self preserve and support and care for one another #THAT saved us- humans going on to become apex predators is fucked up if we apply morality to it #(which is also generally a bad idea to do but for the sake of this post..) #man once this conversation exits ''early humans'' and reaches ''human societies'' then it quickly becomes #''considering humans predators is now a horribly violent reality'' #i guess thats also why i hesitate considering us predators... WE SHOULD NOT BE. #ALSO i am not not not trying to vague anyone i just saw some posts on my dash about it and i have thoughts #i would just personally not go #around calling humans a Predatory Species despite our current status of apex predator #thats what white supremacy and colonialism want the world to think- that humans have an innate instinct to conquer #and i know that The Fact Of The Matter and My Feelings About It are two different things #but most people arent even AWARE of how crucial care and support were to the bare survival of our genus
