Things That Are Surprisingly Different At Night
"Bonding. Late-night talks with friends after going out, having deep conversations, or those turning points while bantering with someone you've been dating seem to be more meaningful at night. How often does someone say, 'I love you,' for the first time at 10 a.m.?"
"Grocery shopping hits different past 9–10 p.m."
"Taking out the trash!…at night."
"Pizza tastes best at 2:30 a.m."
"My productivity. I do my best work after 10 p.m. Too bad my job requires me to start work at 8 a.m. They get me at my worst."
"An outdoor fire pit."
"Reading. Sitting in a comfy, cosy space when it's dark outside is just better, in my opinion. Bonus points if it's raining or a thunderstorm is happening."
"Stargazing."
"Cereal."
"Gaming."
"Night vision goggles."
"This morning at 3 a.m., I was sitting in my hot tub listening to the sound of rain hitting the top of the gazebo. I went to sleep as the sun was coming up."
"Watching movies."
"Swimming."
"Everything because my kids are in bed."
"Drinking hot chocolate."
"Scary movies."
"Sitting on the beach, especially if the tide is high. Lay back, close your eyes (but watch your six!) and listen. Even better when it's chilly out."
"Sex."
"Having your headphones in listening to music is a billion times better when the sun goes down."
"Running (no sunburn)."
"Big city skylines."
"Popcorn."
"Roller coasters!"
"Driving. Fewer people, less traffic, less triggering, and it feels safer. Especially long distances."
"...Sleep?"
"Fireworks."
"Breathing, but outside. It feels like there's more oxygen, idk why."
"Studying."
"Driving in a convertible with the top down."
"Rides to the airport, and anything related to flights in general."
"Skinny dipping."
"A glass of water at 3 a.m."
"Showering or taking a bath. At night, you can take your time, indulge in some pampering with the fancy body wash you received for Christmas, your birthday, or when you fancied a treat, and then change into your jammies to wind down for the night. In the morning, it's just part of the getting-ready-for-work routine."
"Perfect temp in my apartment, a blanket, and TV while I search a million things on Google, and no one is around to interrupt."
"A fan."
"Beer."

Woman Wonders If She's Wrong to Tell a Friend Not to Smoke in the Camping Trailer He Gave Her for Free
A Reddit user is on the fence about telling a friend not to smoke cigarettes in the camping trailer that he gave her for free 'I'm not sure if it comes across as rude or ungrateful to ask him to please smoke outside,' the woman wrote on Reddit Fellow Redditors validated her concerns and offered solutionsA woman doesn't want her friendship to go up in smoke by telling her friend to abstain from smoking in the camping trailer he gave her. She explained on Reddit's 'Am I the A------' forum that the cigarette-smoking friend is visiting, so she offered the trailer for him to sleep in, but now, she wonders if it would be 'rude' to tell him not to smoke in the trailer. 'So my friend had a camping trailer he no longer needed, and he gave it to our family about a month ago. Since he's a smoker, I stripped the couches, beds, etc. We spent $50 to wash everything,' she wrote. 'He's in town and needs a place to crash. We're offering our place, of course, and rather than just offering our couch, we can actually let him chill in the trailer this time,' she added. 'His default habit is to smoke inside.' She said she would 'hate' for everything inside to smell like smoke again. 'I'm not sure if it comes across as rude or ungrateful to ask him to please smoke outside, seeing as we wouldn't own it if not for him,' she wrote. Wondering what to do next, the woman asked Redditors, 'Would I be the a------ if I asked him to step outside to smoke instead of smoking in the trailer he gave us for free?'

Many commenters validated her concerns and offered solutions. 'Say you just spent time and money cleaning it, and you'd like him to smoke outside,' one person replied. 'If you are more concerned about the friendship, tell him that you aren't going to raise a stink about it if he refuses, but you would appreciate he not smoke inside the trailer.' Another reader respected her caution, writing, 'Your calm approach shows more grace than most people would muster in the same situation. You're not drawing lines in anger, you're just setting a reasonable boundary.' Read the original article on People

Man Feels ‘Crushed' When Girlfriend Says the Engagement Ring He Proposed with Isn't ‘Impressive' Enough
After proposing, a man had misgivings about his new fiancée's reaction to the ring He said he picked a ring that "suited her style," though the woman seemed unhappy with his choice Redditors generally sided with the woman, noting that an engagement ring is meant to be worn for life — but that both partners should have an honest conversation to clear up any misunderstandingA man was proud of the ring he proposed with — but his new fiancée wasn't that impressed. In a post on Reddit's "Am I Overreacting" forum, a new fiancé shared his misgivings about his proposal to his longtime girlfriend — or rather her reaction to it. He had been planning to pop the question for months, and when the time finally came, the woman seemed more focused on the ring itself, he wrote. The couple had been together for three years prior, the man wrote, and recently he thought it was time to propose. He picked a ring he "thought she'd love," he said, which didn't have a huge stone, but he said it was "beautiful and suited her style." The ring itself cost around $6,000, and he only recently came into the funds to be able to afford it. "She said yes but the first thing she said when she saw the ring was 'oh... it's smaller than I expected,'" the man wrote. "Later she mentioned her friend's ring being bigger and said she thought I wouldve gone with something more 'impressive.'" The man tried to make light of it, but her comments stung, he said. It "crushed" him to think of that major moment in their relationship as tarnished by her disappointment. The whole thing feels "hollow" now, he added. Now, the man is wondering if her reaction is indicative of a larger issue: "If this is how she reacted to something that was supposed to be special and meaningful, what else will never be good enough?" Those in the comments, while justifying the man's emotional reaction, reinforced that just about everything about proposing should have been a conversation. Though the woman's comments and reaction may have been "tactless" based on the man's description, one commenter wrote, it's important to remember that an engagement ring is meant to be worn for the rest of her life. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "Engagement rings are incredibly personal items, and she isn't out of line for wanting some input into how it looks and feels," the commenter wrote. Another noted that the man seemed to decide for her what "suited her style" — rather than discussing with her what she'd want. The user suggested the couple sit down together and have a conversation — about the man's hurt feelings and about the woman's ring preferences. That way, there's no misunderstanding. "Talk to the woman you love and find out what's actually wrong," they wrote. "If she's just superficial, it'll be clear quickly." Read the original article on People

This Woman Walked Out Of Dinner After Her Boyfriend's Friend Called Her "The Current One." Now, Her Boyfriend Is Demanding That She Apologize For Acting "Like A Child"
Recently, a woman went viral on the r/amitheasshole subreddit for questioning if she was wrong for walking out of dinner after her boyfriend's female friend called her "the current one." Here's the full story from user jarineek_3: "So my boyfriend (31, male) invited me to dinner with his old college group. One of his female friends (30, female), who I've never met before, came late, looked me up and down, then said, 'Ohhh so you're the current one. Cute.'" "I was stunned. No one laughed, no one corrected her. My boyfriend just kind of chuckled awkwardly and changed the subject. I sat there in silence for another 20 minutes before excusing myself and leaving. I took an Uber home." He called me later and said I embarrassed him by 'making it a thing' and that I should've just 'been chill' because 'she didn't mean anything by it.' He wants me to apologize to her for walking out 'like a child.' Am I the asshole for not tolerating that kind of blatant disrespect?" Plenty of people thought the woman's response to being disrespected was warranted. "Not the asshole. The people who should be embarrassed are the friend who made the remark, and your boyfriend for not shutting her down," user Worried_Suit4820 wrote. While, others felt that the woman should actually thank her boyfriend's friend for showing her a "red flag." "Not the asshole. If he felt like you were the one. He would have corrected her. You should send her flowers for showing you the red flag, guy," user Classic-Delivery3875 wrote. Opposingly, this person felt that the woman was not the asshole, but walking out of dinner was the "wrong move." "So, I am probably going to be in the vanishing minority here but I do think it was the wrong move to walk out, although I agree with others you're not the asshole for it. I just think a better move would have been to ignore her and try and enjoy meeting his other friends who (as you say) didn't laugh at her 'joke' so were probably all thinking she was the asshole too. I also have sympathy for your boyfriend just changing the subject rather than confronting her. What was he supposed to do, launch into a passionate speech in front of everyone about how you're his forever person? However, he's definitely the asshole for suggesting you should apologize to his outrageously rude friend," user And_a_piece_of_toast wrote. While this person felt the woman's reaction 100% made her the asshole, and she should just "roll with the punches." "You're the asshole. It's an awkward comment, but it was likely said in jest. Calling an Uber and leaving without telling anyone is a crappy thing to do. Honestly, sitting in silence is just childish, as you're demanding attention from your boyfriend the way a child demands attention from its mommy. Sometimes, you roll with the punches a little bit when you're breaking the ice with people you barely know. Heck, you could turn it into a joke and everyone there would likely enjoy your contribution. Instead, you're the petulant child that their friend is dating and the next time they see you, it'll be awkward as heck. If it bothers you that much, stand up for yourself, right then and there. Don't pout and then leave. You're the asshole, for sure," user Weird_Ad-198 wrote. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.
