On the 13th episode of The Joevelocity Show, Joe is joined by Hubba, and we discuss r/AIO (Am I Overreacting) stories from Reddit.

•AIO for secretly recording my boyfriend because I thought he was gaslighting me?

We kick things off with a rather tense situation involving a secret recording. A woman feels she's being gaslighted by her boyfriend and resorts to recording their conversations to prove her point. This leads to a heated debate about privacy and trust in relationships. While some argue that her actions were a violation, others sympathize with her plight. Joe reflects on his own experiences, drawing parallels and emphasizing the delicate balance between validating one’s feelings and respecting personal boundaries.

•AIO Aunt harvested my garden and mom let her do it.

Next, we shift gears to a more familial issue as we discuss a woman enraged by her aunt harvesting her homegrown garden without permission. This story prompts us to contemplate respect for personal property and the deeper familial dynamics at play. We share our outrage over the aunt’s entitlement, and encourage listeners to consider the emotional investment tied to one’s hard work, especially when family crosses the line.

•AIO for calling off my wedding after finding out my fiancé had a "breakup box" of his exes?

We then dive into a heart-wrenching story about a woman who calls off her wedding after discovering a box full of her fiancé's mementos from past relationships. This prompts a candid discussion on nostalgia and how we carry our pasts into new relationships. While we initially empathize with her hurt feelings,we ultimately agree that holding on to past relationships can be a healthy part of one’s growth, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the present partnership.

•AIO I lost my best friend of 7 years?

Lastly, we explore a complicated and tragic tale involving a friendship that turns sour after an intimate encounter under the influence of alcohol. As we unpack the layers of consent and emotional fallout, We point out the ambiguity that often exists in relationships involving intoxication, and the importance of clear communication. The intricate feelings of guilt, shame, and confusion that arise from the incident lead us to question accountability and the impact of societal pressures on personal identity.
