Paid search looks like a golden ticket. Throw some money at Google and watch the sales pile up. That is a dangerous fantasy. Reality hits hard. Most campaigns bleed cash. The return on investment shrinks fast. Small errors pile up. Each one eats away at profits. The difference between winners and losers often comes down to simple slip-ups. This list covers seven of the worst offenders.…

AIO for the way i responded to my ex asking for $5?

edit: since people keep bringing it up i figured it's worth mentioning, yes we started dating when she was 17 and i was 19. she lied to me about her age and said she was 18, i didnt find out until she was actually 18. im not a pedo 😭 she also told me i was the YOUNGEST person she'd been with... so that was a pattern of hers i guess! we met through a huge friendgroup and she had already dropped out of highschool so there was no way of guessing her real age 🤷♀️ until she had to get an ID, and she decided to tell me. looking back i really should've left then, but love is blind.

first paragraph is additional context:

me(21F) and this girl(19) were dating for about 2 ½ years. i've had a job since i was 15, she had one job for a couple months before we started dating, and was unemployed until mid-late 2025 (only got a job because we were looking for apartments). she got a min wage job and i told her to save every drop of her money so we can afford an apartment. she didn't save anything, she's never been responsible with her money. so when we got approved to rent this apartment, i had to pay the entire security deposit with the promise of being paid back. however, every time i brought it up she would say it makes her too anxious to think about money she owes. so i wasn't allowed to bring it up. we paid for rent, utilities, groceries, ect equally, but anything else was always on me to pay for; like going out, shopping, anything really. furnishing the apartment was also entirely on me, it was probably $3000 to get all the furniture and necessities we needed and i paid for ALL of it, because she couldn't save a dime & didnt want to wait to save money to furnish it. since i 'have the money i should spend it' (because i'm responsible & i save my money..) i did express my upset with this before, and it's always been clear my values and view with relationships are meant to be 50/50, though i feel as though our relationship was more 80/20...

i broke up with her about a month ago because i felt like i was being held back, constantly taking care of her monetarily & other things i won't get into. i decided to drop & forget about the money she owes me because im just exhausted from the arguments & i'd rather just leave it behind and keep my peace. i made it clear that i'm taking the items that i paid for, which is mostly everything. i decided to leave a few things with her because i wanted to leave her with something, otherwise she'd be left with an empty apartment and im not THAT evil (not yet). one of the items i've chosen to leave is the dining set, got it from the restore for like $75 or something. bought it because it was cheap and we needed a table to eat at. we got 5 chairs and it was clear they were super damaged & not stable. i had a friend over last week and when she sat on a chair it broke, it was bound to happen & it was an accident. my ex texts me a couple days later and asks me for $5 to replace the chair.... the ones that i paid for..... and she owes me over $300... so you bet i'm going to be petty about this bc what kind of audacity does that take. im posting this because maybe i am overreacting, but seriously? screenshots of the conversation & my reaction are added. after the last message she cut my phone & computer from the internet. luckily my parents are helping me get out of this situation and im back on their phone plan with data 🙏 moving back to my home state next week!

if i am overreacting then i'll take that up with her but i dont think i am, with the context. ask questions and i'll give more context if necessary!

just filled with rage that she's trying to squeeze more money out of me tbh. when i bring up the bed frame & mattress is when i decide to be petty as fuck and just take EVERYTHING i paid for.

Reddit consensus: NOT OVERREACTING (NOR) (98% confidence)

Top comment: “NOR she’s being childish. she probably just wants an excuse to talk to you/keep ur attention. i would cut contact.”

Notable explanation: “Absolutely not overreacting. That was just a low level petty attempt on her part and you handled it perfectly., especially when someone starts treating you transactionally, over a measly $5 chair.”
