Let's talk music!

¹ What never fails to put you in a good mood?
² Can you name three albums you consider perfect from start to finish?

I'll have to skip the first question, because nothing's doing the trick at the moment.

3 perfect albums:

1 - "Summerteeth" - Wilco
2 - "Throwing Copper" - Live
3 - "Birds Say" - Darlingside

Alright Lit, let’s weigh in on a recent Reddit AITA that I read and haven’t been able to stop thinking about.

In summary -
Man has Girlfriend A for seven years and they break up because she decides to move abroad and he decides to stay. Man eventually starts dating an acquaintance of GF A a year later. Let’s call her Girlfriend B! (very original). Man and GF B are very happy together for three years, they buy a house and have a baby together. Once day while she’s at the store, Man’s laptop breaks and he has to send an important email from GF B’s laptop. He discovers a folder labeled “GF A” and in that folder is a plethora of pictures, screenshots from social media, and links that span their whole three year relationship with the newest item added just two weeks ago. Apparently GF B had been stalking GF A and slowly making herself over in the likeness of GF A. The pictures and screenshots were from all over social media spanning years. And the links were to clothing and products that GF A wore in pictures and mentioned. Man is horrified and feels like he doesn’t know GF B at all and wonders what to do with his life now.

Questions:
1. What the fucckkkk?
2. How would you feel if you found out your SO was shaping their appearance or personality to be more attractive to you? Fuckery or flattery?
3. Have you ever or would you ever take a cue from your SO’s exes to make yourself more attractive to them?
4. Why did this man not realize that his new GF was morphing into his old GF?

I really just want to talk about this. Indulge me?

Questions:
1. What the fucckkkk?

I know. An updated Single White Female for sure

2. How would you feel if you found out your SO was shaping their appearance or personality to be more attractive to you? Fuckery or flattery?

Nope. Don't like it. This just feels like deception which is a big no. I want the person I originally chose, not someone who feels like they have to change for me.

3. Have you ever or would you ever take a cue from your SO’s exes to make yourself more attractive to them?

I've worn clothes I know they like, that kind of thing, but only because I like it too.

4. Why did this man not realize that his new GF was morphing into his old GF?

People are blind to what's right in front of them most of the time. Did the guy keep in touch with Gf A to see that Gf B was copying her?

I really just want to talk about this. Indulge me?

So she's either unhinged or insecure. If he'd never uncovered the evidence would he ever have realised on his own? I know some people have "types" and of course some people like to experiment with their style.
Maybe because the two women were acquaintances B thinks she's only with him because A left so if she becomes more like A he won't leave?

Also I'm glad I'm not the only one who entertains herself with that bin fire of a subreddit. (yes I know a lot of it is creative writing prompts but I don't care)

Questions:
1. What the fucckkkk?

What the fucckkkk indeed. That would creep me out. Though I'd probably want to sit down and talk before I blew my lid. Is this a mental health problem? A self-esteem thing? Or is she planning on eventually hunting down and skinning GF A to make a mask of her face?

2. How would you feel if you found out your SO was shaping their appearance or personality to be more attractive to you? Fuckery or flattery?

At this point, after 18 years of marriage, I'd be equally flattered and suspicious. But as long as she's taking general cues from things I like (plaids! stockings! Red Sox jerseys!), and not trying to exactly copy someone else (especially someone else from my past), I'd be mostly flattered.

3. Have you ever or would you ever take a cue from your SO’s exes to make yourself more attractive to them?

I only know 2 of my wife's ex's. One was a good guy (I'm still in his fantasy football league) and the other was an abusive asshole. The one thing they both had in common is that they both wore Yankees jerseys a lot. So... no. I'm never wearing those.

4. Why did this man not realize that his new GF was morphing into his old GF?

I'm guessing he wasn't stalking GF A nearly as much as GF B was. If my wife comes home with a new dress, I'm not immediately going onto social media to find out if one of my exes has the same dress. I doubt I'd even notice. We're not that observant.

I really just want to talk about this. Indulge me?

It sounds like some serious insecurity to me. They’ve been together for three years. GF A has had a baby, her life has been upended and her body was hijacked by a delightful little bundle of joy. She may be insecure about herself, her body, her career, and a shitstorm of hormone and situation induced insecurities.

Is the guy compassionate or does he have all kinds of chauvinistic expectations?

She may be trying to hold everything together on the surface but is worried that her husband will still want who she was when they met and may see the previous GF as a rival she needs to compete with.

Most of all this couple needs to talk, but also the poor girl needs friends and things to pay attention to besides everything that could go wrong - then see if she still wants to track the ex.

Crazy chicks are HOT!
This is like a reverse Vertigo. I think the Man falls off a church and GF A and GF B start a hot lesbian action OnlyFans “Twins” addition.

This story is fascinating

It’s one thing to want to make your self more attractive to your partner. It’s a whole different thing to stalk someone else and take on their look though especially when it was his previous girlfriend. Wow!

There is more to this story. There has to be.

I blame the boyfriend for much of this. He should have caught on. He should have seen her look changing. He should have made her feel more loved for who she was. Seems like she might be crazy but he hasn’t helped her out at all.

You find the best AITAs on Reddit. Truly wtf kind of material.

Questions:
1. What the fucckkkk?

Just nope.

2. How would you feel if you found out your SO was shaping their appearance or personality to be more attractive to you? Fuckery or flattery?

Weirded out. Especially because I don’t even know what I’m into.

3. Have you ever or would you ever take a cue from your SO’s exes to make yourself more attractive to them?

No. If you don’t like me as me, you won’t like me in ex girlfriend cosplay either.

4. Why did this man not realize that his new GF was morphing into his old GF?

It’s like boiling frogs. Happened so slow he probably didn’t even know it was happening.

I really just want to talk about this. Indulge me?

Happily.

See I agree with you the most. Why did GF B not feel like she was good enough? Did he talk about GF A all the time and make it obvious he wasn't over her? And how did he not notice? I think maybe a broken heart slammed two people together who made a baby before he fully healed up?

Bitches be trippin'

You may agree with him the most, but you know damn well that you’d look at the OnlyFans page I was talking about.

Hey, I'll LOOK at almost anything. That's a terrible gauge!

I'd be shocked if he had noticed. Unless he's also stalking his ex. I don't have a damn clue what my exes are up to or how they're dressing these days.

That's a good point. I assumed that they stayed like FB friends or something but I may be wrong.

Is there a lesson in your life that you wish you'd finally learn?

Do you let FB commenta rile you up? Always overextend yourself? Do you keep using toys with non-flared bases? What's something you wish you would just get already?

▪︎ One day I'll finally learn that I don't have to tell someone what's on my mind. Ill learn to keep things to myself.
▪︎ One day I'll finally learn the hierarchy of needs and not pour myself empty for others and crash out.
▪︎ One day I'll finally learn to make sourdough.

 

[RosewoodTulip]

Learning to say No.

Or conversely.. Learning to say yes.
To embrace change instead of listening to my anxious thoughts and doubt.

Do you feel like reactions inhibit conversation on the boards? Would you comment on someone's post in more depth if you couldn't just it? Do you wish there was more conversational back and forth on Lit? Why or why not?

I really wanted to just hit thumbs up and not respond but the nice guy in me won out.

I do think the reactions inhibit conversation. I’ve even caught myself doing it. Just hit the heart and keep moving. Nevermind someone clearly put good energy into creating the post I just loved. They spent time writing. The poured over the details of the picture they shared. They thumbed for hours looking for that perfect blowjob gif.

The least I can do is converse with them occasionally.

I totally agree and looking back through some old threads, I could really see so much more interaction and fun and jokes and connections because people had to use their words. I'm so guilty of this too and I think I've missed out in getting to know people better as a result.

Thanks @Lmizzler!

Interesting thought. But I do not. If I have something to say I say it.
I think the reactions are a great way of letting the person know that I saw what they wrote, but maybe it doesn’t warrant a response. I usually do both. But sometimes I have no response other than a of acknowledgment.

I’m glad we have that, because I think I used to say stupid things just to respond to someone.

More conversation is great and I think that happens in the question-type threads, but it’s also nice just to see who saw a post of mine that maybe didn’t require a response?

In reading my own post, I don’t see much room for a response other than a thumbs up or angry face, ironically.
