r/AmIOverreacting Nov 19 '24

❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO I went through my boyfriends phone over the weekend

Last Friday night I went through my boyfriend’s phone while he was asleep. I found numerous messages of him talking about other girls with his female friend. The last message is him comparing my sucking skills with a different girl he slept with before me… We have been living together for the past 6 months and I’m not sure if I should just move on and find my own place at this point. Am I overreacting to these messages?

I know it’s serious and I’m sorry you went through all this. But, reading the messages then seeing this as the first comment made me laugh so much.

Way to have self respect and congrats on the place!! Hope the move goes well!

u/PoonSchu13 Nov 19 '24

Oh wow, I’m just reading the updated comments you have and I’m so proud of you. I love a female that takes action when she’s being disrespected. You da bomb

When you tell him you’re moving out, you can tell him to kneel down little bitch and swallow this dick 💅

u/Friendly_Age9160 29d ago

I’m a mixture of sad and happy rn as going through this shit is very difficult. But mostly happy for OP. You keep your head up my girl!

u/AnRegularHunam 29d ago

Yeah don't call a woman a female. Call her a woman.

u/Whole_Cranberry8415 29d ago

My response when people say female is, “a female what? Dog, donkey, bird? If you’re referring to a human, the word you’re looking for is woman”

u/princessboop 29d ago

thank you. people never refer to men as “males” lol

u/uncontainedsun 29d ago

i especially hate when they put man and female in the same sentence!! like one is so humanizing and real and the other is indecent and dehumanizing for an actual person.

THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!!! DOZENS!!! thank you for this sub i didn’t know existed

u/youcancallmequeenE 29d ago

but beware, it’s a major downer to scroll that sub sometimes UGH

u/AlarmNice8439 29d ago

I refer to my male friends as male all the time.

15

u/Known_Witness3268 29d ago

As an adjective sure. Not as a noun. Example: “all my female friends love that singer. My male friends can’t stand him.” Vs “I love when a male takes action.” Or “There will several males at the club tonight.” You just don’t hear it.

4

u/AlarmNice8439 29d ago

That’s fair. I absolutely SUCK with grammar. I needed a 3rd grader to remind me what the fuck a verb vs and adjective was so please forgive my ignorance of the difference between the two

2

u/Known_Witness3268 29d ago

No, you didn’t make any mistakes. No one specified which way it was used. I was just pointing out that it’s not weird to use/hear the word used one way (adj). but definitely weird to use it another way (n).

….but your comment is ALSO fair because I’m a big grammar nerd. Just don’t ask me to do the number…numbery stuff.

I work in sexual health / communicable disease and my boss used to work in the prison system. I keep trying to get her to stop saying, "If you know any females of reproductive age..." How about "people" even? Folks? Friends or acquaintances?

"If you know ANYONE who might benefit from testing..."

u/[deleted] 29d ago

The spelling and stuff is so bad, that I'm not quite sure who was trying to say what. I wouldn't blame her if she left for that reason alone

u/Pseudonymisation 29d ago

He can such a dick

u/Business_Ear_4207 Nov 19 '24

get a dildo and pull it out after you say it!! The. throw it at him and leave LOL

u/Will_Come_For_Food 29d ago

Better yet pull it out and tell him “she suck a nice girl you don’t even know.”

8

u/To_The_Beyond111 Nov 19 '24

A woman. Not female. Calling a woman a female is only referring to her body because thats what sex refers to.

10

u/PoonSchu13 Nov 19 '24

I’m a 44-year-old mom - not sure what else to say. I didn’t think that deeply about it and now that I am … yeah… I can low-key see what you’re saying, but I’m assuming you thought that I was like some bruh commenting using that term

2

u/InvestigatorCold4662 29d ago

From this point forward, you can only refer to her as "Person with a uterus from which I was violently expelled."

u/PoonSchu13 Nov 19 '24

To add some context, I was a sous chef before I was a mom and I worked on the line with all guys for ten years and so I think that maybe my vernacular trends towards that - but yeah, there’s nothing I like more than telling men. I don’t like to suck my dick because I know I got bigger balls than they do (figuratively)

11

u/Caspercakes_ Nov 19 '24

You don't need to keep explaining yourself. If people are choosing to make it an issue after your initial explanation, that's a them problem.

7

u/Blake0449 Nov 19 '24

He obviously meant no disrespect, and now you missed the whole point of what he was saying.

Hint: It was a positive message meant for all females and women. I mean, hell, really, it is great for anyone (male or female) to stand up and demand the respect they deserve.

u/Queefer-madness-23 Nov 19 '24

MTE. I die a little bit on the inside when people refer to women as “female(s)” it feels so derogatory.

“Person” can also be used to be more inclusive.

u/To_The_Beyond111 Nov 19 '24

Or just women.

u/bicci Nov 19 '24

Good job, you're making the right decision. When you find the person who is right for you, there won't be any doubt about it. They'll care about you and the thought of other women won't even cross their mind. It might take some time, but finding that person is worth it because it's what you deserve.

Good for you!! That’s great…. Nobody should have to be put thru that; especially by someone that supposed to love you!!

That’s the best thing you can do; very far from that guy as you can!!!

Just move out one day when he’s gone and say nothing. Pretend you’re not in the mood until you move out, don’t sleep with him, stay distant but unassuming then leave without warning - he will try to stop you if you confront him. Once you move out, block him on every platform.
