PROBLEM: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : Recently I’ve been struggling with mental health and opened up to my mother about it. My mother is a difficult person but I still love her and I know she wants what’s best, but when I opened up to her about my anxiety/depression and she pretty much replied with “therapists are bullshit” and it was my lifestyle choices that were causing this, and if I went to the gym or “just make more friends” my issues will go away. This really upset me so i decided to talk to my father (parents are divorced btw) about it and he suggested to see a therapist, I agreed and went yesterday. I decided to hide it from my mother, knowing she would be upset if I went without telling her. I decided to tell her today and she flipped shit, yelling at me and then telling me to leave the house. I don’t know if what I did was wrong or not, my mother never wanted to support me through this hard time so I believed that she wouldn’t care. I dunno. She’s not talking to me anymore I’m at a loss.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : So there is a girl that I've been into for a while, and it seemed like she liked me back, I was considering asking her on a date this week.

Also this week, I bought a condom from a friend of mine that I'll call Flynn. I didn't really do it for any reason besides the fact that he was selling it, and that I figured it would be useful at some point in the future. I wasn't planning on banging the girl any time soon.

Despite telling me that he wouldn't, Flynn told another friend of mine (who I'll call James) that I had done this, and then James went and told the girl I'm into that I had done this.

Now previously, I'd thought of this girl as being really nice and genuine, but I'm seeing a whole new side of her. She went with a friend of hers to confront Flynn and ask if it was true and if I’d bought it with the intention of using it on her, and he denied it but they saw through it. This is where things get strange – instead of being grossed out or infuriated, they apparently started giggling and making jokes about her innocence being taken. And the girl that I'm into said, in reference to me: "I didn't realize we were this serious."

So then, during lunch break, before I knew this had happened, I noticed everybody pretty much avoiding me. Then all of the sudden, one of the girl's other friends just said "[Girl’s name] doesn't like you, just so you know."

So after school, I confronted the girl that I like and we agreed to text about what is going on. When I talked to her in person, she was smiling shyly and looking down, which was just as confusing. I couldn't tell if she was amused, or flirty, or what.

She told me over texts that she had been told about the condom, but she never outright asked me if it was true or not (so I didn't lie to her). She also acknowledged that she had sent her friend to tell me that she doesn't like me. But now I'm starting to wonder if she just did that to test me.

Anyway, I'm really confused, and everyone in the school is either feeling bad for me or disgusted by me. I don't know what do to from here.

TLDR: I bought a condom, and the girl that I like thinks that I did it because I plan on having sex with her, and she seems to be playing me with mixed signals. I don't how to proceed from here. Does it seem like she might like me? And did I do wrong? I'm really confused.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : So I (M25) just bought my engagement ring today. I've been searching for it for quite a while but hadn't found the right one. A week ago I finally choose one and decided to go and buy it before the end of the month (they had 20% off until March the 31st, lol). In all the time between starting the search and buying it I never involved my father in any way, hell, he doesn't even know I wanna get married next year.

Now, onto the why...7 years ago my father cheated on my mother and they parted ways. Since then he hasn't made any effort in spending time with us and has always been distant, not interested in my family, and not much of a father in any way. So I guess my reasoning is, if he's not interested in being involved in my life, why should I try to involve him?

I tried calling him during the hunt but out of 10 calls he ignored 8 and the other two paid almost no attention to what I was saying and never had the chance to tell him about the ring.

I feel kinda hurt because I would like to believe that buying your engagement ring is a once in a lifetime decision and it should be shared with your family to have their advice and help you find the right one, but he doesn't seem to care about me our my soon-to-be fiancée so I just left him out of this.

AITA? Should I tell him something? I still need to pick it up because it needs adjusting (GF has big hands, lol), should I try and tell him to come with me to pick it up?

SOLUTION:
no
