Man Finds Himself Blasted Online After Not Tying His Temporarily-Disabled Girlfriend's Shoelaces
Quite a big red flag right there.
Having a girlfriend or boyfriend certainly has its perks, and it's more than just being in love with that particular significant other. You get to have an extra parent, a best friend, and you get to spice your life with romance to top it all.
Being in a relationship where your significant other is supportive of everything you do is truly heartwarming, and it can inspire you to push yourself further toward your dreams, or even just the little things you want in life. Having a healthy relationship is like winning the lottery, and it truly makes one feel more secure as an individual.
That is, if you have a partner who ensures that you receive the right amount of effort, affection, and love that you deserve. Because what's the point of staying in a relationship if you are already deprived of the bare minimum?
Well, that's the case for some young relationships nowadays—they start too early or too late, and they discover many differences along the way, including the way some won't bat an eye when making a compromise for their partner's needs. One thing a partner should do is always be there for you, but for some people, it seems to be hard for them to check off this one factor.
Like this particular user called u/PerceptionSure4480 on Reddit, for example. He posted under the r/AmITheAssh*le community, asking people for their opinions about something he did—or in this case, didn't do.
He asked if he was the assh*le for not tying his girlfriend's shoelaces. It may seem like a minor thing, but check out the explanation that followed...

The girl was suffering from a temporary disability, and having to deal with her broken hand, the man did not think it was a good idea for her to wear shoes with shoelaces.

Here's a list of reasons why OP sucked.

And to follow it all up...

He sure acts like a spoiled teenager, and he would probably be a nightmare to have as a lifelong partner.

Honestly, it sounds like he doesn't even like her that much.

Actual twelve-year-olds are better than him.

"The bar is so low, and he still managed to crawl under it"—a round of applause!

Right?
Reddit
What's in it for you, though?
Reddit
OP will truly regret this in the long run!

She does. She deserves a thousand times better!

Now we have all met one!

Hope it was worth your petty ego.

That is so alarming.
Reddit
The sole valid reason.

Hopefully!

OP's a sh*t boyfriend.
Reddit
Let's just hope she had the guts to break it off with this guy!
Reddit
Relationships are complicated—there's no doubt about that. But when your partner is being ridiculously and purposely difficult, then that's a whole other story, and this kind of behavior can truly break your relationship if you don't compromise.
