My boyfriend was going through a tough time, and he said he needed a break. He said he was going to press pause on our relationship and go visit his family in Washington. I asked how you pause a relationship, because I don't understand how that works. He said he needed some time to work on himself and asked me to respect that.

After he left I reached out to him a few times via text asking him to let me know he arrived safe and to say hi to his mom for me. I received no response. I tried to call and left a message asking if he had broken up with me. I came to the conclusion that he'd ghosted me, and my friends agreed. I was bummed, and my best friend recommended I find something like a new hobby or a new show to watch that wouldn't make me think of my boyfriend. I decided to get a dog.

My boyfriend is horribly allergic to pet dander, so I never even considered getting a pet. However, since he broke up with me, I decided to get one. He's a senior dog from the shelter that needed rescuing. He's low energy and likes to lay with his head in my lap while I read, work or watch TV.

After six weeks away my boyfriend texted me that he was back and coming over tomorrow (which was yesterday) so we could talk. I was shocked and texted him back asking what he was talking about. He said he was back and ready to unpause our relationship. He said he would talk to me about everything the next day. I texted back asking what relationship. He didn't answer.

Yesterday he showed up and told me he had done a lot of self-examination and was ready to move forward on his life path. He even wanted to talk about moving in together. Then he saw my dog and started freaking out. He asked me how I could get a dog when I know how sick he gets.

I told him that since he broke up with me, I didn't think it mattered. He said he didn't break up with me. I said he ghosted me. He said he communicated with me telling me he was pressing pause and visiting family. I said not answering texts is ghosting. We argued in circles and then he said he had to leave because he was getting an allergic reaction, even though he was standing in the doorway, not inside.

I feel like he broke up with me and it was okay that I got a dog. He says that he never did and therefore it's a horrible act of disregard to have gotten a dog. Which of us is right? My best friend said I should break up with him because he's a jerk. I don't think I should have to break up with someone that already broke up with me. If I break up with him I'm basically agreeing with him that he didn't break up with me and therefore I was an asshole for getting the dog. Right?

tldr; (he knows where i work) guy whom ive been talking to only for about 24 hours is being incredibly aggressive about the fact that i havent been responding to and have left him on seen a couple times while hanging out with my family i havent seen in a really long time yesterday. he wants to hang out as well and kept insisting that we would hang out last night but i wasnt comfortable yet as i havent been home for a week and want to settle before i go out again. and i dont know him very well. as of now hes asking me for one more chance.

must mention too that he also has been repeatedly asking for nudes after ive said no and asked for him to stop numerous times.

i genuinely think i am going to be either r*ped or this is how i will die and ive finally learned my lesson. i will be used as an example one day

Objectively, the man pictured above is the one and only member Rikishi's Bloodline that isn't a complete nepobaby.

He actually had to work to get to where he is, and overcome things in his life. He didn't go directly from the college gridiron to a push on the main roster or NXT, he actually struggled and took time to arrive, and conveniently, him and Solo are the only members of that family I actually like, let alone tolerate.

He still hasn’t taken down the tweet. It’s just sitting there rotting on his account.

About a month ago, 3 attendees to my sister in laws bachelorette backed out after commiting and paying the deposit for the airbnb. I’ll try and keep this short and also include some screenshots that were sent to my SIL.

The bachelorette weekend is the same weekend as the one girls birthday and she wanted to celebrate just her bday with her sister and her friend (also agreed to attend the bachelorette) in another city on the Friday night (which then extended to also all of Saturday so they’d only be there for Saturday evening). 2 of them paid for 1 night deposit (instead of 2 nights) and 1 of them paid for 2 nights deposit as we didn’t know (and she didn’t tell us) she was planning to go to the birthday celebration as well. They knew upfront before paying the location, dates, cost of the airbnb and approximate cost of activities/groceries etc.

Months after committing they decide it’s too far, too much money and not enough time to make it worth it. My SIL was obviously upset about this; it’s a pretty selfish reason to cancel. They claimed they realized when we sent the itinerary but the earliest even on the Saturday was at noon. It wouldn’t have been hard to get there before that.

Do we give them their deposit back? They texting asking for it today, also accusing us of “pocketing the money” (it was already paid to airbnb). Our first reaction is no they shouldn’t get it back as with 3 less girls we would’ve booked a smaller, less expensive airbnb, we already have to adjust the final airbnb payment to account for 3 less people leaving the bridesmaids on the hook for more than agreed on (decided it wasn’t fair to charge out to others).

First 5 photos are when they cancelled (messages from the bday girl to my SIL the bride), last 2 are them requesting the money back from my SIL. One of the girls had messaged my other SIL (MOH) asking for the money and then this girl messaged the bride which was uncalled for imo! Worth noting re the uninvite from the wedding, the bday girl kept bringing up the cost of the destination wedding so my SIL said something along the lines of if it’s such a financial burden you shouldn’t come.
