I need some perspective on a situation that happened today between me (Peach), my boyfriend (Mango), and his father.

To give you some context: last year around June or July, my biological parents got into a massive argument over the phone with my boyfriend’s dad. Both sides were incredibly rude to each other. I honestly don't know who to believe because my parents are quite toxic—which is exactly why I am financially independent and no longer live with them. I later found out that my boyfriend's dad had actually called my parents after he had been drinking, but since I didn't hear the conversation with my own ears, I don't know the exact details. Despite this, both my boyfriend and his father blamed me for the entire fallout.

Cut to yesterday night: my boyfriend's dad told him, "If you want to marry, do not marry Peach."

Today, my boyfriend and I went shopping before heading over to his dad’s tattoo studio. During shopping, the mood was already ruined because whenever I asked for his opinion on something, he would reply rudely with, "Just get whatever you want, I don’t give a f***, I don’t care."

Once we got to the studio, it started raining heavily and the wind was blowing hard. My boyfriend has severe allergies, but he was sitting right by the open door playing Call of Duty. Out of genuine concern for his health, I asked him to move inside so his allergies wouldn't flare up. He snapped at me layout rudely, saying, "Just do whatever you want, look out for yourself (khud ka dekho)."

After that, he stopped playing his game and completely shut down, refusing to talk to me. I tried to keep things normal by chatting with his dad about how the business was going. At one point, I looked over at my boyfriend, and he snapped in a very aggressive tone, "Don’t look at me, bro." This deeply triggered and upset me.

Suddenly, he turned to his dad and said, "Why don't you tell her what you said to me last night?" His dad started smiling and tried to rewrite the story, claiming, "I didn’t say anything bad, I just told him not to rush into marriage and to think things through." But my boyfriend kept pushing, saying, "That’s not what you said. You claim you love her like a daughter, but now you don't have the guts to say what you actually told me? Say it, Dad." Finally, my boyfriend blurted out the truth: "My dad told me not to marry you, now or in the future, because of your family."

Even then, his dad tried to deflect, asking me, "Whom will you trust—me or Mango?"

I was completely disheartened. I didn’t choose the family I was born into. This argument happened over a year ago; there was absolutely no reason to bring it up again. What hurts the most is that I see his dad almost every day, we talk on the phone regularly, and I constantly help them manage their business and support them in any way I can. If he had such a massive issue with me, he could have told me directly instead of talking behind my back.

When I got visibly upset, his dad got angry at my boyfriend for revealing the conversation. My boyfriend then turned on me, saying, "This is exactly why I didn't want to tell you—because you're just going to cry, feel bad, and create a scene."

To avoid making a scene, I left the studio and walked outside. I cried alone in the pouring rain, and neither of them even bothered to come check on me. When I finally walked back inside, my boyfriend escalated things, saying, "You and your drama. Now my father is going to get drunk later and blame me because of you. I’ve had to sleep on the terrace so many times because of you." (For the record, I have never told his father to drink. I occasionally suggest he cut back for his health because he is getting older, but I always maintain my boundaries).

Eventually, his dad admitted to making the comment. He defended himself by saying he had even discussed the matter with his ex-wife (my boyfriend's mother, who cheated, divorced his dad, and treated my boyfriend terribly in the past, yet somehow gets a say in our relationship). He told me, "God sees my intentions; this wasn't said to hurt you. It was just a private talk between me and Mango."
To make matters worse, my boyfriend then tried to gaslight me by saying, "I was just joking about it at first, but you started crying and embarrassed us."

Feeling completely defeated, broken, and isolated, I actually ended up apologizing to both of them before leaving the studio and heading home. Am I really the bad guy here for being hurt?

I was so happy earlier today, I had gotten gifts for both my bf and his dad and I gave them and I was so happy because I love giving gifts to the people I love and care about and this is how I was treated

Used AI to frame it properly thankyou for whoever is reading this:)

TLDR - A year ago, my toxic parents and my boyfriend’s dad got into a bad phone argument. Even though I am financially independent and don't live with them, my boyfriend and his dad blamed me for the fallout.

Yesterday, his dad told him that he should never marry me because of my family. Today, after acting rude and distant all afternoon, my boyfriend intentionally forced his dad to admit this comment to my face. When I became heartbroken and started crying, they completely ignored my pain. Instead of comforting me, my boyfriend flipped the narrative, accusing me of creating "drama," blaming me for his dad's drinking habits, and gaslighting me until I felt so isolated that I actually ended up apologizing to them before leaving.

my scalp has dandruff but not that much, and my hair starts looking flaky after 2 days of washing them, looking for recommendations!

Is it just me, or are Instagram clothing stores and homegrown brands getting ridiculously expensive?

Don’t get me wrong—the clothes are gorgeous, and I understand that some brands use better fabrics, produce in smaller batches, and have higher manufacturing costs. But ₹1,500–₹2,500 for the simplest tank top or basic cami? Sometimes I genuinely don’t understand the pricing.

And another thing I’ve noticed—why is almost everything so revealing? So many tops are backless, have deep necklines, cut-outs everywhere, or are super cropped. They’re cute, but it feels like there are barely any options for people who want trendy clothes without showing that much skin.
I’d love to support more homegrown brands, but between the prices and the limited styles, it’s hard to justify.

Is there a reason behind the pricing that I’m missing, or do other people feel the same?

Hi everyone,
I’m completely new to goth fashion and would love some advice from people who are more experienced.
I’ve always been drawn to goth aesthetics, but I’m not really sure where to start when it comes to building a wardrobe. I’m interested in learning about different goth styles (traditional goth, romantic goth, casual goth, etc.) and finding pieces that I can actually wear day-to-day.

For context, I’m a woman in my early 20s and I’m looking for outfit ideas which are affordable at the same time they look good

Any advice, inspiration, or shopping recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

My boyfriend and I recently had a huge argument and I genuinely don’t know if I’m overreacting anymore or if some of the things he says to me are actually hurtful and disrespectful.

For context, we’ve had a complicated relationship. We’ve broken up and gotten back together before, and he often brings that up during arguments. Despite everything, I care about him a lot and have always tried to be there for him. I check on him, worry about him, support him, help him when I can, cook for him, get him things, and try to make him feel loved and cared for. I’m not perfect, but I do put effort into the relationship.

A few days ago he went out to a party. He wasn’t answering calls, wasn’t replying to messages, and it got very late. It was raining heavily and I genuinely got worried. I stayed awake until around 2 a.m. trying to find out if he had gotten home safely. I called him multiple times, called people around him, and even contacted his father because I was concerned about his safety.

I wasn’t trying to control him or stop him from going out. I wasn’t upset that he attended the party. I simply wanted to know that he was safe and had reached home.
The next day I told him that in the future I would appreciate it if he could just send me a quick message if he’s going to be out late. To me that seems like a normal thing to ask in a relationship.

Instead, the conversation turned into an argument.
When I explained that I was worried, he said things like:
“You don’t have to worry about me and vice versa. We have done just fine without each other.”
“Just convince yourself I’m not in town and enjoy your life.”
“Don’t let me hold you back.”
“I don’t want to take responsibility for anyone.”
“I’m not captain save a hoe.”
“Stop fucking up my head again and again and again.”
“Why do you even come back?”
“Just fucking move on already.”
“I don’t need your worry.”
“You’re not the only girl who’s worried about me.”
“I don’t need any one of you.”
“If something were to happen to me, you’d just laugh about it.”

He also accused me of ruining friendships and suggested that I would ruin this relationship too. In previous arguments he has called me emotionally immature and made me feel as though my opinions don’t matter because I’m younger or don’t have enough life experience.

One comment that really hurt was when he said that I shouldn’t be telling him to be responsible.

The reason that bothered me is because he works in his father’s business, and I’m also involved in the same business. I help his father when needed, open and close the shop when asked, handle responsibilities when nobody else is available, and have seen firsthand how things operate.

There have been times when he hasn’t shown up to work on time or hasn’t taken things seriously, so when I talk about responsibility, it isn’t coming from a place of superiority or trying to control him. It’s coming from a place of concern because I am also involved in the business and see what happens behind the scenes.

At the same time, I’m actively trying to build my own future. I recently completed my master’s degree and am preparing for exams to have better opportunities because becoming financially independent is extremely important to me. My goal is to build a stable career and create a better future for myself.

What confuses me is that whenever I bring up career, responsibility, planning for the future, or self-improvement, he often takes it as criticism rather than concern.

During this argument, I ended up apologizing repeatedly because I didn’t want things to escalate further. Looking back, I realized I was apologizing for being worried about someone I care about.

Another thing that hurt was when he said, “You’re not the only girl who’s worried about me.” My response was basically that I don’t care how many people are interested in someone. To me, what matters is having a good career, being responsible, building a future, and becoming financially independent.

I’m also planning to start therapy because I want to focus more on my goals, improve my mental health, stop overthinking, and learn how to handle situations like this in a healthier way.

I know I’m not perfect. I can be emotional and I can overthink. But I genuinely want to know if my expectations are unreasonable.

Am I wrong for expecting basic communication from a partner when they’re going to be out late and unreachable?

Used Ai to properly write it :-: so please don’t mind that, I am feeling very drained and needed to let it all out so I can get ahead with my day and focus on things that are more important

TL;DR: My boyfriend went out, didn’t answer calls, came home very late during heavy rain, and I stayed up worried trying to make sure he got home safely. When I later asked if he could just let me know in the future when he’ll be late, he accused me of being controlling, said he didn’t need my worry, told me to move on, called me emotionally immature, said I ruin relationships, and made several hurtful comments. I ended up apologizing repeatedly even though my original concern was simply his safety. Am I being unreasonable for expecting basic communication and respect from a partner?

Can we talk about something other than battery health for once? It feels like 70% of the posts here are either “Is my battery health normal?” or “Why is my storage full?” Every other post is someone panicking because their battery health dropped by 1%. Why buy an iPhone if you’re going to spend all day staring at Battery Health instead of actually using the phone? This subreddit could be so much more interesting. There are features, shortcuts, apps, camera tips, iOS tricks, customization, accessories, hidden settings, and useful workflows to discuss. Instead, the feed is flooded with the same battery and storage questions over and over again.
And let’s be real: every phone battery degrades over time. That’s how lithium-ion batteries work. The only reason iPhone users obsess over battery health is because Apple shows the percentage right there in Settings. If every Android phone displayed battery health as prominently, those communities would be full of the exact same posts.
Your battery is a consumable component. It will age. Your storage will fill up if you use it. That’s normal. Use the phone. Enjoy the phone. Stop treating battery health like it’s a stock market chart.

Honestly, I’m so tired of seeing people complain non-stop about this. If you genuinely want something, just buy it from a legitimate website or an authorized seller instead of taking risks buying from random people and then acting surprised when you get scammed. And if you’re waiting for a sale, that’s fine, but if you miss out, constantly complaining that the app is a scam, the seller is a scam, or that everything sold out isn’t helping anyone. What I find even more frustrating is that some people spend so much time complaining about not getting one specific item, but then go on to buy a bunch of unnecessary things just because they’re discounted. That’s literally how overconsumption happens. Just because there’s a sale doesn’t mean you need to buy something. If you really want the item and it’s within your budget, buy it. If not, let it go and move on. I’m honestly tired of the endless whining, blaming, and negativity every single time a sale happens.

Ak Fans - Yogesh cheating on Ruru with Ak is fine like inhone tho kuch galat he nahi kiya this is so normal, there is nothing wrong in cheating, lying, bad mouthing we are in the new generation ye tho saab normal hai, infidelity is completely okay

Ak fans on the other side - how could asmita reveal the recording it's going against the constitutional laws and regulations, human rights have been affected by this, she should be put into jail, harassed, her account should be banned she is hater, jealous b

The way some Akansha fans sit online all day barking “he lost,” “he can never win,” “we won’t support him with ruru” laughing at “Himanshu and Diksha” saying it’s “karma karma” like that’s some life achievement is actually pathetic. Imagine making another person’s downfall your entire personality because you’ve got nothing better going on in your own life.

And it’s not even just Yogesh, y’all drag literally everyone for existing. Meanwhile the same people you mock are out there living, working, earning, growing, and moving on with life while you people are glued to comment sections acting like unpaid security guards.

At this point it’s less “fan behavior” and more obsession mixed with bitterness. If humiliating strangers online is the only thing giving you happiness, that says way more about you than it ever will about them.
