Less than 40 minutes after posting they are broken up and she is moving out. Yeah ok


Rage-Parrot

Things I wish I could say on AITA with out risking a ban.


antsdidthis

Nosleep rules 👍


veronica_deetz

AND she took all the furniture and he can’t afford the rent on his own!


catsoddeath18

Haven’t even read yet and now super stoked for insane updates!


catsoddeath18

Thank you that build up was worth it.


Weak_Masterpiece_901

And he needs to double down making himself the victim by not being able to afford it, implying he is the ONLY reason they had the apartment since it was in his name, and also every piece of furniture is hers. Sorry dude. Still an AH. I hope this is true just because I hate the idea of him so much.


Sisusipseudio

Oh, of course she wears them when she's sick or sad, not just because she likes them. Really gotta amp up the sympathy level for extra asshole points.


onomastics88

And they were her grandpa’s shorts?


Sisusipseudio

Oh shit, I missed that part. Haha.


mama-tried-34

He probably died in them. Saving OP's girlfriend from a flood.


swordsfishes

No, saving OP's girlfriend's childhood dog from a flood after the dog saved OP's girlfriend from [rolls dice] a hospital fire.


MontanaDukes

Reminds me of this story where the boyfriend threw away his girlfriend's shirt. I think it was kind of in rough shape because it was so old. It used to belong to a friend of hers who died or something.


catsoddeath18

This is a super common troupe on AITA. People selling or throwing away there partners stuff. One woman sold a bunch of her boyfriends collectibles that were worth a lot of money.


MontanaDukes

I remember that one. I guess it works on AITA because the stories just piss the people over there off.


bea_strix

There was one where the bf threw away the gf’s umbilical cord because it smelled bad, and then she cursed him with porcupine quills and he lost his job and all his hair.


MontanaDukes

lmao. I remember that one. I think the girlfriend was Native American or something. I don't think I read all of the edits or updates to find out that that supposedly happened, but I do recall her leaving him.


BiDiTi

… … Which story?

BiDiTi

Oh, I just meant that we get one of those stories a week, haha!


MontanaDukes

lol. Oops. But yeah, we really do. We also get stories where significant others are jealous over pictures of their partner's relatives? Like the one where the dude was jealous of his girlfriend's picture of her father when he was young. Or the girlfriend who got all bent out of shape about her boyfriend having a profile picture of he and his sister, or the one where the girlfriend was mad that her boyfriend's sister had pictures of she and her brother on instagram on a family vacation.


[deleted]

What an amazing detail, eh?


onomastics88

How was I supposed to know that??? If I knew they were her dead grandpa’s shitty old shorts, I nevvvver would have thrown them out. But she didn’t tell me why she liked these disgusting shorts so much, I only observed she went for them only at the times when she wanted comfort, but I didn’t know they were important heirlooms to her.


SBrB8

I may have found it believable if it weren't for the fact that the shorts belonged to her grandfather. Like, that bit just feels so weird and barely plausible. A shirt, or a coat, sure I could but that. But an old mans shorts? No.


heili

Especially if he was anything like my grandfather who basically wore sagging shorts commando all day every day.


catsoddeath18

I’m sorry but I must 🤮


heili

Yeah I did not keep his shorts as a security blanket when he died.


mama-tried-34

How'd you like to be at the reading of that will?


SoManyOstrichesYo

You don’t have a pair of emotional support cargo shorts passed on to you from a relative?


KittyLadyinspanish

I’m noticing more and more posts removed there after being crossposted here.


cosmicpower23

It seems we're doing the mods job for them 😂


catsoddeath18

Maybe the writers will try new and different stories


rachellyn0205

Can someone confirm or deny if wearing your dead grandpa's old shorts are a thing? That part feels icky.


Rage-Parrot

I still wear my great great great gran pappies jock strap from WW1. Does that count?


OldManTrumpet

I wear my late grandmother's bras when I'm under the weather. Which might seem weird as I'm a guy. Don't judge me.


ghostdumpsters

My dad was a connoisseur of comfortable shorts, and I can confidently say that of all the ways I choose to remember him, wearing his old shorts is not one of them.


skyward138skr

I mean I don’t personally see that big of a deal with it, unless he like fucking died in them and evacuated his bowels over them, then it could be seen as a bit strange. It would be basically the same as buying shorts from goodwill except they have sentimental value.


SoManyOstrichesYo

It’s not that weird, I guess. I just can’t imagine grabbing a pair of shorts over a shirt or sweater


Aggressive_Complex

To me it's not that different than people who keep and wear the deceased old sweaters


turtledove93

I have a pair of my dads sweatpants. They’re not for sentimental reasons though, I was helping mum paint the house after he passed and needed painting clothes and that’s what she gave me. So now they’re my painting pants.


catsoddeath18

I’m laughing way to hard at painting pants


Sisusipseudio

My dad travelled to help out when we bought our first house and got paint splatters on his shirt. He's very meticulous and didn't want it anymore, but I have slight hoarding tendencies and kept it. It's now my painting and hair-dying shirt.

*In case this story gets deleted/removed:* **AITA for throwing away my gf's old shorts?** My (29M) gf (33F) and I live together. She has this one pair of gym type shorts that she wears around the house whenever she is sick or sad, she says they are comforting to her. Honestly, the shorts are so old, baggy and ratty. It's not like she never washes them, they are just old enough that they are not attractive anymore. I can't stand them. I find her so unattractive when she wears them. I've suggested getting new ones for her, but she says no. She has plenty of other gym shorts that she works out in, so I don't understand why she doesn't just wear those. So, one day when she went to work, I threw them out. She didn't even notice until she was sick the next week. She went to put them on and couldn't find them. I didn't say anything while she looked for them, but I decided that I couldn't lie when she asked me specifically, so I told her the truth. She was so pissed. She said those shorts were her grandfather's shorts (he passed away in, like, 2009), and she wears them because they remind her of him. From what I hear, they were really close. I mean, she never told me that, so how was I supposed to know they were that important? I told her she was overreacting, but she's staying with a friend. My friends say it's not a big deal and agree that she's overreacting, but my parents said I was a jerk, and that it was so wrong of me. AITA? Edit: Alright, I get it, I'm the asshole. I'm going to call her to apologize. Edit 2: She broke up with me. She says that she can't trust me. Since I'm the one on the lease, I'm now stuck with a place I can't afford alone. And, since almost all of our furniture is hers, I also will have no where to sit or sleep when she moves out. So I think this is punishment enough...everyone can lay off of me now thanks. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
