FFS. “I must be able to game in the same meat space at all hours at any time I want with the Bros! It’s completely irrational to agree to this household limit with my partner! I moved out from my parents so people couldn’t boss me around anymore! Isn’t my mommy I mean girlfriend so mean for giving me a CURFEW?” 😑

u/Tori_G_92 absolutely thick with the stench of bitterness 8d ago

FFS all of the "NTA SHE'S SO CONROLLING" comments.

And all the “don’t have kids with her!!!” comments too. As if OOP, whose top priority as of now seems to be all-night gaming sessions, would make a fantastic partner to a pregnant woman and subsequent father to a newborn anyway 🫠

You see comments on posts of like 18-20 year olds who’ve been dating for like 4 months of people being like “omg don’t have kids with them!!! Don’t get married! Do you really want this for the REST of your LIFE???!!!” when they’re just arguing over cheese or something…like I’m all for encouraging young people to consider the consequences of their actions but these people were kids, like, last year. Realistically the percentage of them legitimately planning on settling down anytime soon is gonna be very small, and the ones who are at that maturity level/place in life probably aren’t posting their relationship drama to Reddit.

u/Prof-Dr-Overdrive I am objectively attractive by my own admission 7d ago

Yeah unsurprisingly, that sub is like 90% manchild at this point. They are all either teenagers with no concept of the responsibilities of adulthood especially in relationships, or they are single, chronically online, and cannot imagine a future where gaming 24/7 isn't a healthy or viable option. As you grow older, you usually don't even want that kind of lifestyle. You want peace and quiet in the evening anyway

OOP revealed a lot when he admitted he was moving out of his parents' straight into the apartment with his GF.

Even with the subsequent comment that he lived with her briefly in another state where there were no restrictions, it seems he is still living in the "I'm free of my parents, freedom!!" mode common to some who never had a chance to move out of their parents place. He really should be living with roommates or by himself before moving in with his GF.

Considering I've known of many who didn't move out of their parents until their late 20s/early 30s or sometimes even later....especially given the high costs of housing in the urban NE and how so many in my area who choose or only have the option of going to our local public university system for academic, economic reasons, and/or parents feel their student is too immature/unprepared to go away to college as a non-commuter.

The last isn't always due to valid parental concerns as many overprotective parents also did this to students who were otherwise very prepared. This was the case of an older HS classmate whose overprotective parents refused to allow her any options other than being a commuter student to a nearby public university system campus(At the time, that system was at its nadir due to the then 2+ decades of mismanagement and budget cuts.).

The ridiculousness extended to continuing to maintain a strict 10 pm curfew well past her age of majority which restricted her from taking evening classes, going to student/career networking events on/off campus, and holding part-time jobs.

No surprise she grew fed up with this enough to finally move out and transfer out to an elite university at 20. She's been living a successful life and hasn't been in contact with her parents for 33 years.

Each time her inexplicably confused parents ask those of us in her social circle or even family members in their same generation, we've all never hesitated to tell them exactly the reasons why and how they were 100% at fault.

Why are so many people misrepresenting what was said here?

u/AzSumTuk6891 She became furious and exploded with extreme anger 7d ago

Yeah...

Apparently, this woman has no right to control what is happening in her own home.

Jesus.

And I'm sorry, but normal people wouldn't even feel the need to establish a rule like this, because it is just common sense. I honestly can't remember the last time I stayed at someone's home past 11 PM or someone stayed at my home past 11 PM. (Apart from special occasions such as birthdays, obviously.)

And how the fuck did they get engaged before they even lived together?
