A 27-year-old man told his girlfriend he doesn't want to pay her rent if she doesn't have a job
His girlfriend quit her job with no warning, notice or plan
People on the internet agreed with him setting a boundaryA man found himself in a standoff with his girlfriend after she "quit her job over a vibe."
The 27-year-old man took to Reddit to ask if he handled the situation correctly, explaining that he has been with his 26-year-old girlfriend for two years, and they moved in together six months ago.
However, three weeks ago, his girlfriend quit her job with no warning, notice, or plan for the future.
'She said her manager 'gave her weird energy' and she was tired of being around people who didn't 'see her full self,'" the poster explains. "I asked what her plan was, and she said she was going to 'take time to realign.' "
While things were fine at first, "now rent is due, and she says she can't cover her half." She asked the poster if he could just "take care of it" and that she would "make it up to [him] spiritually."
'I laughed,' the man shares. 'I genuinely thought she was joking. She wasn't.'
The man told his girlfriend that he would cover her rent this month, but he's 'not her bank.'
'She flipped out and said I'm 'capitalist-minded' and lack emotional support,' the man shares. 'Now she's pouting around the apartment calling me transactional.'

Although the man was unsure if he was in the wrong, the commenters were squarely on his side, calling out the hypocrisy of his girlfriend labeling him "transactional" while simultaneously expecting him to support her financially.
'Her vibe is definitely being a leech who takes advantage of people which will definitely darken her 'aura.' Not good vibes at all," one commenter wrote.
'Explain to her that's how things work. You pay rent and you can continue living there," another added. "Tell her that she will have to pay her half of the rent and other bills. If she doesn't have the money, she can borrow from the spirits.'

Jury set to deliberate Sean 'Diddy' Combs's fate
Jurors on Monday will begin deliberating whether Sean "Diddy" Combs parlayed his celebrity, wealth and business empire into a decades-long criminal ring that saw him force women into drug-fueled sexual performances with escorts. The dozen New Yorkers tasked with deciding the music mogul's future will began poring over thousands of phone, financial and other records along with the stories of 34 people who testified against him over seven painstaking, and at times excruciating, weeks. Combs, 55, faces upwards of life in prison if convicted on five federal charges that include racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation for purposes of prostitution. The producer and entrepreneuer, once one of the most powerful people in the music industry, denies the charges. On Friday his lawyer vied to skewer the credibility of his accusers -- namely two women he dated for years -- saying they were out for money, while rejecting any notion he led a criminal ring. But in their final argument, prosecutors tore into the defense, saying Combs's team had "contorted the facts endlessly." Prosecutor Maurene Comey told jurors that by the time Combs had committed his clearest-cut offenses, "he was so far past the line he couldn't even see it." "In his mind he was untouchable," she told the court. "The defendant never thought that the women he abused would have the courage to speak out loud what he had done to them." "That ends in this courtroom," she said. "The defendant is not a god." Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo scoffed at the picture painted by prosecutors of a violent, domineering man who fostered "a climate of fear." Combs is a "self-made, successful Black entrepreneur" who had romantic relationships that were "complicated" but consensual, Agnifilo said. - Manipulation - The defense has conceded that Combs at times beat his partners -- but insist the domestic violence does not amount to the sex trafficking or racketeering he's charged with. Key to the prosecution's case were witnesses Casandra Ventura and a woman who testified under the pseudonym Jane, both of whom described abuse, threats and coercive sex in wrenching detail. In their closing arguments the defense dissected their accounts and at times even mocked them, insisting the women were adults making choices that were best for them. Speaking for the government on Friday, prosecutor Comey snapped back at that notion, saying the women were "manipulated" into "brazen" acts of sex trafficking. Ventura and Jane both said they experienced emotional manipulation and threats which made them feel obliged to meet Combs's sexual demands. Throughout the trial, jurors were shown voluminous phone records, including messages from both women that Agnifilo argued implied consent. But prosecutors said those messages do not paint the whole picture, and referenced testimony from a forensic psychologist who explained to jurors how victims become ensnared by abusers. Central to their case is the claim that Combs led a criminal enterprise of senior employees who "existed to serve his needs" and enforced his power with offenses including forced labor, kidnapping, bribery, witness tampering and arson. But Agnifilo underscored that none of those individuals testified against Combs, nor were they named as co-conspirators. Many witnesses were given immunity orders so they could speak without fear of incriminating themselves. To convict Combs on racketeering, jurors must find that prosecutors showed beyond reasonable doubt that he agreed with people within his organization to commit at least two of the eight crimes forming the racketeering charge. On Monday, Judge Arun Subramanian will explain to them how apply the law to the evidence. Then, the eight men and four women will begin deliberating. They must reach a unanimous decision, reaching either a guilty or not guilty verdict on each count. mdo/st

Scarlett Johansson Says She Was Offered ‘A Lot' of Roles ‘Revolving' Around ‘Desirability' and ‘The Male Gaze' as a Young Actress: ‘That Is Less Frequent'
Scarlett Johansson is opening up about how roles have changed for women since she joined Hollywood. In a recent interview with The Times of London, Johansson said that when she first entered the industry, the roles she was offered usually centered around 'desirability,' and the goals and needs of her male counterparts. However, she thinks the Hollywood of today is ushering in 'a different time for young women.' More from Variety 'Jurassic World Rebirth' First Reactions Range From a 'Roaring Triumph' to 'Blah': Is It a 'Winner' or a 'String of Forgettable Scenes'? Scarlett Johansson Calls 'Jurassic World Rebirth' a 'Love Letter' to Steven Spielberg: Fans Will 'Feel the DNA of the Original' Scarlett Johansson Asked to Have 'Thunderbolts*' EP Credit Removed, Says Marvel Casts Get 'So Enormous' You Sometimes 'Feel Like a Device' to Move the Plot Along 'The messaging is different — there are many more role models, women are visible in powerful positions and the opportunities I have had to play women who don't have to just be one thing or another have increased,' Johansson said. 'But when I was younger, a lot of the roles I was offered, or I went for, had their ambitions or character arcs revolving around their own desirability, or the male gaze, or a male-centred story. That is less frequent, though — something has shifted.' This isn't the first time Johansson spoke out about her representation in Hollywood. Back in 2022, the 'Avengers' star said she was so 'hypersexualized' by the industry at a young age, that she thought it would be impossible to branch out to different types of roles. 'I kind of became objectified and pigeonholed in this way where I felt like I wasn't getting offers for work for things that I wanted to do,' Johansson said. 'I remember thinking to myself, 'I think people think I'm 40 years old.' It somehow stopped being something that was desirable and something that I was fighting against.'
