9 Shocking Ways Dental Karma Will Make You Question Your Marriage



Ever notice how people transform into pathetic, whimpering puddles when their precious mouth bones start to ache? It's like watching a towering skyscraper of human dignity collapse into a heap of rubble because a microscopic nerve ending decided to throw a tantrum. What's more fascinating is how these mouth prisons we call relationships become perfect little petri dishes for brewing that special strain of hypocrisy that only emerges when pain enters the chat.


First of all, I would like to say that this is ridiculous and not a big deal, but for some reason it became one. I (25F) had an impacted wisdom tooth that was wrapped around a nerve while I was pregnant. I asked him (26M) if he could call the dentist because it hurt to talk. He said no. Now it's 1 year later and he now has an impacted wisdom tooth, and I sympathize with him, but he asked me to call the dentist for him and I said no. His mom is now asking me to call for him. I said no. He's upset about it. Does this make me an asshole?

Edit: I ended up calling anyway because I felt bad

Edit 2: He apologized before I called

Update: Turns out it was his wisdom teeth and an infection so bad it's eating his jaw bone. So now I really do feel bad.

The Existential Dentistry of Human Relationships

Let's dissect this festering abscess of moral theater, shall we? We have two supposedly adult humans playing a game of dental chicken that would make kindergarteners look like fucking Aristotle. She's pregnant—literally creating life—with a wisdom tooth wrapped around her nerve like a python choking its dinner, and Captain Empathy can't pick up a phone because... why exactly? Perhaps dialing digits would somehow detract from his precious schedule of thumb-twiddling and existential mediocrity.

Fast forward through the miracle of birth and the hellscape of early parenting, and suddenly our hero finds himself in the same throbbing predicament. The cosmic irony hangs so heavy in the air you could fucking choke on it. His tooth rebels, and suddenly using a telephone becomes a Herculean task requiring the intervention of his mommy—because nothing says "I'm a capable adult partner" like getting your mother to lobby for basic assistance.

What we're witnessing isn't just a dental disagreement; it's the human condition distilled into a putrid mouthwash of pettiness. Like two ants fighting over a crumb while standing on a highway, these creatures are so absorbed in their insignificant moral accounting that they miss the speeding truck of existential irrelevance barreling toward them.

And then—PLOT TWIST!—she calls anyway, rendering the entire moral standoff as meaningful as a fart in a hurricane. He apologizes beforehand, which is about as useful as sunscreen applied after a third-degree burn. The grand finale? His jaw is literally being eaten away by infection, transforming this pathetic morality play into a grotesque physiological horror show. The universe, in its infinite cruelty, has a way of turning our petty vengeances into monuments to our own stupidity.

The Rotten Wisdom of Fools

What this decaying tableau really exposes isn't just the festering abscess of their relationship, but the hollow cavity at the center of all our moral posturing. We're all just bacteria colonies fighting for dominance on a rotting tooth called life. She felt bad and called anyway—congratu-fucking-lations on achieving the bare minimum of human decency! At least the bacteria consuming his jawbone don't pretend to have moral qualms about their consumption.

The real infection here isn't in his jaw; it's in the gangrenous idea that relationships are transactional battlegrounds where scorecards matter more than compassion. While these two were busy playing dental chicken, the universe was laughing its cosmic ass off, planning to turn his minor concern into a jaw-eating nightmare—because if there's one thing more reliable than human pettiness, it's the universe's sadistic sense of humor.

Summary for Mouth-Breathing Morons

Boy refuses to make phone call for pregnant girlfriend with tooth pain. 🦷😡

Later, boy gets tooth pain and wants girl to call dentist. Girl refuses. 🤬📱

Boy's mommy gets involved because apparently adults are extinct. 👵🙄

Girl calls anyway, discovering boy's jaw is being eaten alive. 🔥💀

Moral: Stop keeping score in relationships unless you're prepared for the universe to shove the scorecard up your infected ass. ⚖️🍑

10 Shocking Truths About Friendship That Will Make You Trust No One Ever Again

 Ever notice how people say friendship is a two-way street, but nobody mentions it's also a fucking highway to hell paved with the corpses of good intentions? That's because humans are fundamentally deranged creatures who construct elaborate façades of connection while plotting each other's emotional murders. Today's pitiful exhibit: two supposed "friends" of twenty years destroying their relationship faster than Netflix cancels a show with actual substance. Hi everyone. I (29F) recently went on a roadtrip with my friend (30F) of over 20 years. While only 2 days into a 10 day trip, we got into a fight. We spent the night apart but ended up making up the next day and decided together to continue and try to communicate better. Shortly after we made up though, I asked her if I could take a nap in the car while she did some driving toward our next destination. She said no problem. When I woke up, I noticed we were not going in the right direction. We were ...

The Elderly Dictator Olympics: When Boomers Go Full Fascist and Nobody Gives a Shit

 Ever notice how the most insidious power grabs don't happen in presidential palaces or corporate boardrooms, but in the mind-numbing tedium of apartment building councils? The banal fucking evil of democracy's demise, playing out not on CNN but between units 3B and 4F. Two geriatric masterminds—we'll call them Darth Arthritis and Emperor Depends—have orchestrated a bloodless coup that would make Vladimir Putin reach for his notepad. And yet, here we are, questioning if fighting back makes YOU the villain. Because apparently, once you qualify for the senior discount at Denny's, you also earn immunity from consequences for your actions. So, I (Male, 30s) live in a mid-sized apartment building with a pretty standard setup: there's a building council that oversees maintenance, budget, administrative stuff, etc. Everything went relatively smoothly until two elderly neighbors — let's call them C and M (both in their 60s-70s) — decided to make the building their ...

Helicopter Parents Seek Free Labor Supervisor for Adult Son: A Modern Love Story From Hell

 Ever notice how some parents treat their adult son's girlfriend like an unpaid project manager for their failed parenting? There she stands, this 23-year-old woman, making more money than her boyfriend, yet somehow expected to wipe his metaphorical ass because mommy and daddy can't cut the fucking umbilical cord. What we're witnessing isn't a relationship—it's an elaborate transfer of ownership disguised as love, a cosmic joke playing out on the stage of suburban mediocrity where nobody gets the punchline except the universe itself, which is laughing so hard it's pissing dark matter. I (23F) have been dating my boyfriend Josh (29M) for 2 years. We live together as well. Recently, his parents have started asking me to get him to do things. "Make sure Josh goes to the dentist for his cracked tooth," or "Make sure Josh updates his passport," or "Make sure Josh changes his pet food for his cat. We don't like the brand," or ...
