Ever heard of the reply guys? They are frequently distinguished by their tendency to join discussions or threads without warning or with no relevance to the subject matter.

In an attempt to continue the conversation or garner attention, they would frequently tag the original poster in their unrelated or overly critical remarks in response to posts. Reply guys frequently act persistently or obtrusively in an attempt to get the person they are replying to to pay attention to them, validate them, or engage with them.

When referring to people who engage in this repetitious and attention-seeking behavior, the phrase "reply guy" is sometimes used in a derogatory or ridiculing manner. It's vital to remember that not every person who comments or replies is a reply guy.

Courteous and meaningful exchanges can still take place. On the other hand, the phrase is applied to those who behave in an unwelcome, relentless, or invasive manner and go above and beyond the call of duty.

The OP has had a reply in her DM's for the past year. He would be replying to the pictures posted by the OP on her story with different cheeky words.

The OP had already told him that she's in a relationship, but he still persisted. The OP didn't really care about him all that much and just accepted that this was what life was like as a woman online.

Not untiI she was out with one of her friends. Read the full story below to find out what finally happened.

The reply guy started messaging the OP casually about how her birthday was

The OP just accepted that this was what life was like as a woman online

"It’s a huge honor for her and something she has worked extremely hard to get"

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

My action that would be judged would be telling someone that their boyfriend is cheating/being creepy, fully knowing it would ruin her event.

We've gathered some of the most upvoted comments from other Redditors for you to read through below

Who knows how many women he has done this to

The OP should agree and not ruin her special event

This Redditor will tell her the sooner, the better

If she already has a suspicion, it has ruined the event regardless

He may be buying some time to come up with an excuse

He might want to by time to feed her a story

His request is purely out of self interest

This Redditor wants to know what a reply guy means

Some Redditors asked the OP why she was even trusting the reply guy at all about this big event. Even if it’s true, the OP knows his request is out of his own self-interest and not his girlfriend's.

Besides, who knows how many other women he’s done this to and actually got a reaction and attention from it. Leave your advice for the OP in the comments section below and share this post as well.
