Confessions From People Who Fantasize About Their Friends

A close friendship is one of the greatest things a person can have. But what happens when the boundaries of that friendship start to slip and slide and become a little less clear?

Or what happens when that’s what you find yourself WANTING in your head.

When the person you hang out with becomes the person you desire, the dynamic can change quite a bit. Do you risk it all and go after it? Do you play it safe and keep what you have? How can you keep going? Will these feelings pass or just grow?

These are the things doubtlessly rattling around in the heads of the people who wrote these confessions.

10. Face facts

I mean, one dream doesn’t necessarily mean much.

Cruel Secrets People Overheard From People They Thought Were Their Friends

It’s always disappointing to hear something from someone you thought was a friend that seems to betray that notion.

It can also be severely troubling to just discover something about a friend that you weren’t supposed to know. How do you deal with that? What do you do? Are the dynamics that defined the relationship up until now just broken or is there opportunity to turn this into something more positive?

That’s the sort of question that the people behind these real confessions were grappling with.

Something you weren’t supposed to know, and now that you do you’re not sure what to do with it? Something that, maybe, you wish you hadn’t heard?

Check Out These Confessions From the Recently Married

Marriage.

Marriage is what brings us together today…

But what’s it like on the other side of the nuptials? What’s it like JUST on the other side?

I’ve never experienced it myself, but I know that a heck of a lot of friends have felt a heck of a lot of different ways.

Let’s look at the real, anonymous thoughts of a few newlyweds to find out what it’s all about.

10. “I don’t feel truly loved.”

And maybe you thought being married would fix that?

Source: Whisper

9. “How happy I am”

Always nice to hear when it just works perfectly!

Source: Whisper

8. “I don’t love him.”

Doesn’t seem like that’s a strategy that’s destined for long term success.

Source: Whisper

7. “I’ve had a weird obsession.”

Maybe he’s into it? Though maybe you should have checked before tying the knot?

Source: Whisper

6. “His 3rd runner up.”

Just because you’re not the first doesn’t mean you’re not the best.

Source: Whisper

5. “The only thing we fight about.”

That’s  gonna be a long, hard road ahead.

Source: Whisper

4. “Every second of the day.”

Woof, sounds like it might be exhausting after a while.

Source: Whisper

3. “I have no idea why.”

I’d love to get to the bottom of that mystery.

Source: Whisper

2. “Back in my life.”

Tell her she snoozes she loses, this isn’t a game.

Source: Whisper

1. “The wrong person.”

When you hit that wrong dialogue choice in a video game and know immediately.

Source: Whisper

So, should you get married? I dunno. But it sure sounds interesting.

Are you married? How did you feel after?

Could “Babe Are You Okay” Be the Defining Meme of Our Time?

Millennials are always checking in with each other.

Gotta keep advocating for mental health, even when we’re living in a time where there’s no normal and no baseline and the notion of sanity is kind of laughable.

Maybe that’s why “Babe are you okay?” has become one of the defining memes of our era.

Take it away, people of Twitter.

15. Curry favor

What and why and what.

14. Sing it

If you look closely enough, you can hear the nothing.

13. It’s a business opportunity

Are you not feeling quite so high up today?

12. Cows

I think if you forget to do that three times your car will actually stop working.

11. Stock up

What is happening to us?

10. Pile on

Yeah, what’s WRONG with you?

9. IT’S BEEN

Threw your arms in the air and said “you’re crazy!”

8. Gotta go fast

At what point were marketers convinced that consumers REALLY wanted to eat Sonic the Hedgehog?

7. Game on

I would do this in my sleep, it’s an unavoidable reflex.

6. Water o’clock

I feel seen and not in a way I’d like to be.

5. Call and response

Are you on auto pilot?

4. Buy buy buy

Did you finally just run out of money?

3. Let ’em know

Spread the word.

2. So touching

That hits hard.

1. Oh well

Isn’t that like the only word we know now?

Babe are you okay? You hardly scrolled through all those tweets.

But seriously, are you okay?

Tell us in the comments. Babe.

No, seriously, we want to know.

Please and thank you.

Partners of Men Who Have Erectile Dysfunction Tell All

Sex is a pretty important part of relationships – especially if you’re younger. But even with two ready and willing participants, it’s not always so easy.

Our bodies can get in the way of our own fun and fulfillment, and there are few instances of that considered more taboo or embarrassing than erectile dysfunction.

What happens when one partner, for whatever reason, just physically can’t get going? Here are some perspectives about it submitted anonymously.

10. “Doing something wrong.”

It’s gotta be hard to not interpret it that way.

Source: Whisper

9. “Don’t want to hurt his feelings.”

It’s a tough thing to navigate.

Source: Whisper

8. “The man of my dreams…”

He’s gotta feel like you’re just trying to spare his feelings.

Source: Whisper

7. “His biggest fear.”

When people go unfulfilled, the temptation grows.

Source: Whisper

6. “I don’t want to reconcile.”

But what reason have you given him?

Source: Whisper

5. “Less of a woman.”

A powerful feeling.

Source: Whisper

4. “Even if he could…”

Well then there’s something deeper going on in this particular case.

Source: Whisper

3. “He never lets me forget it.”

That’s a lot of yikes over here.

Source: Whisper

2. “It’s so disappointing.”

Incredible how powerful a force sex can be in our lives.

Source: Whisper

1. “I saved my virginity.”

This right here? This is why I think saving for marriage is a bad idea.

Source: Whisper

It can’t be a fun situation for anybody involved. Stupid bodies, ruining everything for all of us.

Do you have experience with this sort of thing?

Brides Who Realized Immediately That the Wedding Was a Mistake

A wedding is a day that so many of us are brought up to dream about and to look forward to.

But what happens when you realize you simply don’t like what you see?

What if you have a sense from the very beginning that you’ve made a big mistake?

It seems simple enough from a detached perspective to just say “Well then end it. Get a divorce.” But of course, it’s not always so simple. The ties that bind us to people, the commitments we’ve made, the costs we’ve sunk, the expectations of those around us, the haunting fears of failure, all of these compound into a force that can override our red-flag detection, at least for a time.

And so we’re left making confessions like these…

10. Not tears of joy

Could anyone on the outside tell the difference?

Source: Whisper

9. Talk me out of it

Real life is not the plot of a rom com.

Source: Whisper

8. Clinging on

Talk about a runaway bride.

Source: Whisper

7. Fear is powerful

What, with all these people watching? All this money? All this pressure?

Source: Whisper

6. Get kicked

There’s no excuse for abuse.

Source: Whisper

5. Money talks

While we stay silent.

Source: Whisper

4. Cry cry again

An all too common experience, it seems.

Source: Whisper

3. Better than expected

When you both know it’s bad, you know.

Source: Whisper

2. He changed

No more Mr. Nice Guy. Literally.

Source: Whisper

1. Clear vision

Blue’s not your color, huh?

Source: Whisper

Best of luck to anyone and everyone stuck in a relationship they realize is a mistake. There are brighter days ahead.

People Talk About the Reasons They Leave Their Engagement Rings at Home

Most of us have been there. Your ring is too loose, too tight, too… something. Or maybe it just doesn’t match your other jewelry.

Here are some of the ten crazy reasons why women choose to leave the bling behind.

1. Sometimes you just forget

But honestly, watch out if you do! You might start to regret it.

Image credit: Whisper

2. All that shine can be a little blinding

But that’s okay, because who doesn’t love shiny?
Just pair your ring with sunglasses, and you’ll be fine.

Image credit: Whisper

3. All dolled up with nowhere to go

Jewelry is like pants. If you’re not going out, who needs ’em?

Image credit: Whisper

4. It’s only a symbol

Isn’t it more evolved to be above all that?
The ring won’t get you through the tough times.

Image credit: Whisper

5. But it’s a symbol of him

In other words, he better be worth it.
Otherwise, it might be a symbol that you should give it back.

Image credit: Whisper

6. Cheap, or just hypersensitive?

But seriously though, if the ring gives you a rash, did it come from a vending machine?
Don’t get mad. Buy better jewelry!

Image credit: Whisper

7. Enough is enough

And two rings is just one too many sometimes.
After all, no one likes a showoff.

Image credit: Whisper

8. It’s not that weird

We all take things off in our sleep. Right?

Image credit: Whisper

9. Maybe she learned the hard way

Comfort is key.
Take it off while you’re awake… so that you don’t take it off when you’re not.

Image credit: Whisper

10. Ladies gotta do what we gotta do

When it’s ugly, and you just can’t tell him… maybe it’s time to “lose” it?

Image credit: Whisper

These are all completely understandable reasons to leave the rock at home.

Personally, I haven’t worn mine since the start of the pandemic. Too much hand-washing for that business.

What about you? Do you still wear your engagement ring? Be sure to share why or why not in the comments.

A Person Wants to Know if They’re a Jerk for Messing With Their Ex and His Assistant

It kind of blows my mind sometimes when people talk about how much time they have to mess with people…

Why aren’t you people working?!?!

But that’s another story…

This story comes to us from Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page and is pretty interesting…

Let’s take a look at what happened and how people on Reddit responded to this situation.

AITA for screwing with my ex and his assistant?

“My ex’s assistant has disliked me since she started working for him. I have to stay in touch with my ex because we have a 9-month-old together.

His schedule changes a lot so his assistant is supposed to let me know if there’s a change which will mean he can’t use his visitations and if he wants to reschedule the time.

She’s started “accidentally” sending me his personal things. If he’s making dinner arrangements with his current flavour of the week, she “accidentally” sends it to me asking to confirm when it’s meant for someone else. She “accidentally” got two gifts mixed up, so she ended up sending me/our baby lingerie. There have been other things, but you get the idea.

Last Tuesday, she “accidentally” called me whilst my ex was having a pretty sexual conversation with his best friend in which I came up an uncomfortable number of times. It was muffled but I heard way more than I wanted to.

In the past, I would complain to my ex, but he always laughs her mistakes off and promises he’ll have a word with her, but she keeps doing it.

I was supposed to see my ex last Friday, but I was kind of annoyed with him, so I decided to screw with his assistant and him. I called her and told her he couldn’t come on Friday because I had a date. On Friday, I called him when he didn’t show and asked him why he didn’t come.

He ended up coming over later than he was supposed to, and he was sulking the whole time and kept complaining that he thought I was going on a date and he’d need to have a word with his assistant about making mistakes because he had to cancel “important” plans to come over last minute.

I did end up telling him the truth after our son went to sleep and I confronted him about what he said. He denied it but then got angry at me for wasting his time and making him miss time with his son. He said I was being petty over small mistakes.

I told my best friend what I did, and she said I was an AH because his assistant could get fired over this and I shouldn’t have told him about hearing the call.

I do feel kind of bad now but I’m really sick of her making mistakes when it comes to me and getting away with it.

So, [am I the a-hole]?”

Here’s how people responded.

This person said that she is not in the wrong in this situation.

This person thought the whole thing stunk of immaturity and pettiness.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another person also argued that she was not the *sshole in this situation and that she needs to be very deliberate with keeping records about this whole situation.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Finally, this person said (and I agree) that everyone involved in this situation kind of sucks and they’re all playing immature games.

Do you think this person is a jerk?

Or is this whole thing really no big deal?

Person Asks if Their Joke About Only Eating Apples Went Too Far

Apples are my favorite fruit and I really like the idea of making a joke about it, but I would never pull the kind of prank I’m about to tell you about.

Judging by the comments, a lot of other people are also not fans of what this person did to their friends, but a lot of people also found it really funny.

This person wrote about the incident in the the “Ask the ***hole” Reddit page and asked people if this prank crossed a line.

AITA for pretending to be an “Appletarian” (eating only apple derived foods/drinks) for 3 weeks as a prank, causing my friends to have an intervention for me?

I got the idea a few weeks ago to prank my friends my pretending to be an “Appletarian”, meaning somebody who only eats food products that are derived from apples and would only drink apple juice or apple cider.

I told them them all that I had read on the internet that eating only apples was the healthiest thing for you. When I first told them they thought I was joking, but they underestimated how committed I would be to a joke. So, whenever in the presence of one of my friends (or friend-of-friends/coworkers/etc who knew them) I was very careful to only be seen eating apples or drinking apple juice/cider.

Apples whole, apples diced, apple sauce, the inside of an apple pie, baked apples, candy apples with the chocolate shaved off, etc.

Finally after about a week they bought that I had become an Appletarian. They started giving me information about how unhealthy it was to only eat apples, and growing increasingly exasperated by it. Some of them even got angry.

But I wanted to stick with the joke. Finally, after the end of 3 weeks, I walked into what I was told was a movie night but was actually an intervention for me.

They were all super concerned about my well being and had all sorts of information or whatever. Finally I started laughing hysterically. They were confused as hell so I told them I had been faking it the whole time and had been eating real meals outside their knowledge. I even took out some beef jerky from my pant pocket to prove it and munched it.

I thought they’d appreciate the joke but they were actually really annoyed. My girlfriend even broke up with me over this because a few days ago I had ruined our date night when I told the waiter I only wanted apples because I was an Appletarian and had “embarrassed her for a dumb joke”.

In my opinion the joke was solid and they should appreciate my commitment to the prank.

But, did I go too far?

This person didn’t feel he went too far at all.

Image Credit: Reddit

This Reddit user understands the value of pranks, but is not happy with the pain the OP caused.

Image Credit: Reddit

Read your audience — that’s this user’s message.

Image Credit: Reddit

This person tells the OP to think about how worried his loved ones must have been for his mental health.

Image Credit: Reddit

However, at least one more person didn’t think this guy was an a-hole.

Image Credit: Reddit

It was nice to see so many people in the comments advocating sympathy for friends instead of disregard for their feelings. I would have liked to see ideas in the comments for harmless alternative pranks.

Share a time with us when you pulled a prank and it failed.
