isnt this the normal thing people do? gf seems shitty.

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 71 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We don't know how long they've been together.

I would not want my first meeting with someone's mother to be on their deathbed. And as a grown woman, I wouldn't want my son's new piece of ass at my deathbed, either.

I definitely was a weirdo who didn't understand this. Girl I dated for two weeks shared she wasn't available because of a funeral and my stupid horny ass said, "I can go with you. It'll be like a date."

And she had every right to give me a wtf face.

And that's when I learned time and place.

I did it the other way. My grandmother was dying in the hospital and I invited a girl I'd gone on maybe two dates with to the vigil. She was like "uh ... no?" and I never heard from her ever again. And rightfully so.

Eh, some people don't like hospitals, or OP's mom.

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 56 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Disagree I’ve heard many stories about people with OP’s mom.

Those kids on those multiplayer games constantly tell me what things they would do to my mom so wholesome 😍

[–] sleen@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

Agreed, I was there to tell the tale

Like ain't got nothing to do with that

Yeah, barring some kind of established issue with hospitals.

Can't really hold it against someone when they have avoidance of a place that's damn near universally traumatic, even with the best possible outcomes.

I worked in the damn things here and there over the years, and I despise being at one as a visitor, even when it isn't to visit a patient. I'll do it when necessary, but I know how that little kernel of dread feels, so I can't blame anyone that can't/won't visit in a hospital.

yeah, there will probably be plenty of new years for the gf, so why not spend this one with someone who's days are numbered.

Share something wholesome about a friend looking out for another friend, and incel commenters got nothing better to do than shit on the girlfriend.

What is this, Reddit?

[–] TheTetrapod@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I mean, this was clearly written to pose the friend in opposition to the girlfriend.

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago

If I were a betting man (and I am), my money would be on it being fake (and gay, obvs) to elicit the exact type of woman bad comments you'd expect

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Remove "girl" from the equation.

They are still a shitty person.

What kind of take is this?

[–] zerozaku@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

My immediate reaction was that they're shitty person too. But I'd also do the same thing anon did and let them have their party.

But are they shitty? It depends how deep is their relationship ig. If she's the one you are going to marry then they're shitty. If the relationship is still in beginning phase, they're kinda like a distant friend and not necessarily needed to be with us in our hard times. I am sure anon's best bro is way closer to anon than his gf.

One thing I’ve learned after a year on lemmy: learn to block whole instances. Yeah I see fewer comments, but I also see fewer stupid ass, brain dead takes.

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It's really not much different from reddit

[–] Delirioum@programming.dev 41 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Bro's before... gardening equipment.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Bro is before hedge trimmer

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 days ago

Until the last line I thought the end result would be her making out with someone else.
