Look at it this way, it only cost you $50 to never see that person again. ;)

His parents may be willing to loan him the money.

Where is this magical place you speak of?!!

It could also have been taken by an employee. :(

But OP shouldn't have to subsidize her clothing budget. She's clearly taking advantage of the situation and trying to be cute by calling it a girl tax. Maybe OP needs a man cave and everything he buys for it he can call a boy tax. And if she's a fair person, she won't mind subsidizing his man cave. Lol, mostly kidding. ;)

NTA and if going to the water park had to be EARNED by children, they would all be mostly empty. Water parks, zoos, any kind of outings, they're for making memories and having fun. Not for being there to hold something against children.

I like the way your brain thinks.

Next time they need to leave all of their sex toys out. >:)

Leave her and move on. You'll find someone and from the way it sounds, you'd make a great father.

Yikes! Do you know what was there before it was a pizza place??

Letter salad... genius!

PLEASE DO NOT SELL YOUR HORSE. That is an AH thing to ask of someone. He's a huge jerk for even saying those words out loud.

NTA unless you give in to your clown of a boyfriend.

People like your friend are very frustrating. Next time you make a plan, just tell her it's her turn to bring snacks / provide pizza and drinks. You'll find out real quick if she wants to continue being friends.

NTA for getting mad but set this boundary so she can't continue to treat you like a doormat.

Simple. Move on. Get your own place. You NEED to be over this guy.

I'm not suggesting that she settle, but even someone mediocre would be amazing compared to OP's husband.

Tbf, I think OP plans on NOT taking this as a real proposal. I mean it's not like she would put on these earrings and never take them off. It's just weird. I hope she means to tell him that she expects a ring and a real proposal that kind of changes the day so that it's not just an ordinary day.

And hopefully her second proposal will be her last. :)

She shouldn't feel bad or lose sleep over this guy, but YTA x 1,000!!! He's giving second hand smoke to his kids and his parents! Dealbreaker right there! But also walking around in his shorts all day? Not helping out around the house if you don't give him money? Showing disrespect to everyone who walks into the house?

OP, WHY, WHY, WHY are you with this guy?

My guess is he's great in bed and a hell of a kisser but then I remembered KISSING A SMOKER IS LIKE LICKING AN ASHTRAY. Ugh.

BCE.

(Best comment ever.)

Oh my God, I forgot all about that! I loved Shoe!!

Time for you to man up. If you can't do it on your own, have a shot of tequila or two, look her in the eye and say "We're breaking up. It's the money thing". Done.

You're welcome.

THIS needs to be the top comment! Every word is spot on!

"A few days ago she said the relationship can't work out if I keep refusing her request..."

In my opinion, you need to agree with this and ONLY this part of her insane tirade.

If it's a boy, Alfa Romeo or Alf for short. If it's a girl, Gucci or Gooch for short. 🙂

He did you a big favor by showing you who he really is. Be grateful and move on. (((((Hugs)))))

I 100% agree and will only add this: OP, it only takes ONE TIME to stand up for yourself or for someone you love to a bully (your mother). Because next time she wants to criticize, she may think twice. If not, it's so much easier to face the bully again simply because it feels so damn good.
