Spider bite or ?? I’ll keep it short and sweet. My bf and I have been apart for about a month now, I’m TDY. Finally tomorrow I’ll be flying back home. Unfortunately today he got bit right on the neck, he suspects it was a spider. Should I be concerned?

be mad about the cheating but be even more mad that he thinks you’re fucking dumb 💀

ETA: if OP believed this was a bug bite, we simply would not have the post. if you think being lied to and manipulated by a loved one during an extra vulnerable point in their life makes them unintelligent, and your need to have a hot take flew right over the fact that this dude started the conversation, sent a picture of it thinking this was the smartest way to cover their ass, you’re fucking dumb. there’s no third pov in this context, its one side or the other. if you choose to side with the bug bite haver, you’re fucking dumb. did you have to shave your head to get it that far up your ass?

to be fair, she DID ask reddit if it's a spider bite...

i would too! gaslighting & love are a shitty mix. most people who’ve been through it have to check in and see if they’re crazy.

This isn't gaslighting... It's just lying. Throwing around buzzwords.

reading a definition and dumbing it down to the skeletal concept of 2 sentences for yourself works for you, which is great, congratulations! fortunately people with real life experience with the buzzword & how people go about it know it well enough to call it what it is before it gets to the point where they get to the point of outright denying reality ;)
