So we put the bar away and I rested for about 10 mins but I felt an urge to do it again. So I asked her to watch this.\n\nI got a backpack and put in a 15kg plate and tried to do a pullup, and I managed to do 2.

When she was 16 she had wanted a tattoo and I told her that it was her choice but a condition with living in our house was that such a thing is not permitted. I told her that I felt that tattoos were something that I believed were unnecessary and not a good way to treat your body.\n\nMy daughter is almost 20 now. A week ago I accidentally walked in on her in the bathroom. I quickly turned away but couldn't help noticing that she had large parts of her body covered in tattoos. I am shocked that I had not noticed them earlier because in the short glimpse I got it looked like her whole back was tattooed as well as many others elsewhere. The only explanation I have is that she must have always had them covered in clothing around me.\n\nI confronted my daughter about the tattoos later and she initially denied them. I told her I know what I saw and she eventually admitted that she had got them and hid them from me because she knows I am against them.\n\nI was deeply hurt by what she had done. The tattoos were hurtful because she knew I was against them but my hurt is not just about the tattoos. She has been living with us without paying board despite working full time and I am also angry that she is wasting her money on tattoos rather trying to pay her way. The reason why we have allowed her to live with us without paying anything is we wanted her to be able to save to buy a house and get a head start in life. I was extremely angry that instead she was blowing her money on something she knew both her parents were against.\n\nI ended up telling my daughter that she needs to move out which of course led to major arguments and drama.

As expected, the entire pack of markers get opened, and thrown on the ground and quickly dry up and become unusable, and the crayons get thrown around, and end up under furniture and end up lost.

And I don't mean I'm one of those people things never got serious with, I mean I've never even had a woman express the tiniest interest or go along if I did. It goes without saying that I'm a virgin, but I've never even had a kiss or held hands with a woman.\n\nBefore anyone asks, no, I don't think I'm entitled to those things, or that there's something wrong with women for not being interested in me. I'm not some incel dipshit. I'm just an overweight guy with bad social skills.\n\nAnd yes I've tried therapy. The therapist told me to lose weight and \"get out more\". Fat lot of good that advice did me.\n\nAnyways, at my age I'm pretty much the only single guy left in my social circle, and as a result pretty much every gathering involves a large amount of everyone else getting affectionate with their partners.\n\nIt's not that I resent them being happy or that I dislike their partners. It's just that it hurts seeing everyone around you holding hands, kissing, sweet-talking, leaning on each other, and stuff all the time, when the closest I've ever come to that (and at this rate probably ever will) was being paired with a girl classmate in school for projects (which, I might add, they quite visibly disliked).\n\nLast Friday we were out at a local pub, and sure enough it was three pairs of people and me. We weren't at our table for long before one of them had their girlfriend leaning into their lap, and another one of my friends was playing with his partner's hair.\n\nI held it together for as long as I could, but when one of them started making innuendo about their (R rated) plans that evening, I kind of lost it.

She enjoys doing it, it makes her happy, she says it's nice especially in the evening to just unwind with it. Cool, no issue.

{"prompt":"So let me give you some background. My (49M) daughter (19F) came out to me a couple of months ago as bisexual and, I was very supportive of her. I made sure to tell her that i loved her no matter what, The other day, though, she put a post on Facebook telling everyone! I told her that I wished that she would have told me that she was going to do that first, because I would have wanted to let some close friends family members (e.g. her grandparents. Aunts\/uncles.)know ahead of time so they wouldn't just find out that very big news while they just scroll through Facebook. The next day, after I had time to gather my thoughts, I sent her a message saying how I was hurt that she didn't give me the consideration of even letting me know before she did this and it was one of the worst things that has ever been done to me. I told her that her childhood friend, G, who has a genetic disorder and is not able to fully comprehend that, had to be woken up by her mom to be told instead of just finding out while she scrolls through Facebook. My wife agrees with me, but my daughter says that I don't have a say about how she does this, even though it affects me.

Like when my brother cooks he always sets aside some of the leftovers for his boyfriend to have for lunch which means it's off limits even if I want more. He told me after a few days that I had to limit my shower time to under thirty minutes and after I told him I needed extra time because I'm a girl he laughed and said that's a stupid and untrue. He also does his boyfriend's laundry, evening ironing his things. When I asked him to do mine too he said I was grown and could do it myself.

{"prompt":"Clear throwaway, I’m bored at work so I wanna post this issue I had with my gf last year, as it caused a bit of a divide amongst friends who had different opinions on the subject. \n\nI’m from Chicago, a 19 year old male, and have been going to a certain very popular music festival in the city. Such a bummer we won’t have any festivals this year, but it is what it is. \n\nThis is pretty self explanatory from the title but I’ll get into it a bit.

She hit me with the classic “ I wear bikinis what’s the difference” and I tried to explain myself and she wasn’t having any of it. We were pregaming in the hotel for about an hour and I was being a bit distant from her. Distant enough to where she threw a top on because she “didn’t want to argue throughout the day”. I thanked her and that was it with that. \n\nIt was fine until some of her friends called me an asshole for “making her change” which she did on her own. They just went on to me about how they’d never let a boyfriend dictate what they wear to a concert. My guy friends were more on my side, claiming they wouldn’t have loved it either.

Personally I don’t why what I said was so wrong, AITA? ######","completion":" YTA\n\nOP, I hope you know that studies have shown that gender stereotyping is also linked to environmental and social factors. Although I'm only a semester away from my BA in Psychology and will be going for my PsyD shortly after, I have also taken a few childhood development classes. So I figured I'd share with you something I learned last semester (I did my term project on gender stereotyping and it's connection to toys). Sorry in advance that I couldn't link full articles. I used my school's online library database for trusted peer reviewed journal articles.\n\nChildren do not begin to perceive gender or start to identify with one or the other until around 2-3 years old when they start to develop fine motor skills, engage in pretend play, and start expressing gender stereotypical play. One of the main arguments as to why this happens is due to to social and environmental factors that influence the behaviors of children. They model themselves after us and what they see in their environment ([media](https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fpsyg.2018.02435\/full)\\* and [literature](https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s12144-020-00686-4)\\*\\*). The [examples we set as parents](https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fsgd0000242) also affect the way children perceive their gender and behavior. There is a ton of research out there to support this. What a lot of research suggests is raising children with an aschematic view in regards to gender identity while also promoting a broader sense of social and pretend play so a child isn't limited by gender stereotyping (sorry I don't have a link to this one... it was in my textbook).\n\nAnyways, my main point is, you don't have to be a boy to like to build stuff or horse around, and you don't have to be a girl to play dress up or play with dolls. I agree that there are differences between male and female children; however, we differ in that I believe it's because we provide the context of what social norms\/behaviors are in relation to gender. It all depends on what you provide your kid with that will affect their interests. If you want to foster an aschematic gender view for you daughter and support\/promote **her** developing interests (which might line up with some of your own), then you could\n\n1. Provide gender neutral toys\n2. Present gendered toys neutrally (have toys geared towards either gender on hand)\n3. Reserve choice for the child (let the child pick the toys they want to play with)\n4. Nurture their interests\n5. Open discussion about toys (what they like\/dislike about a toy and why helps us understand them better)\n\n​\n\n\\*This is taken straight from my project (they were my talking points): Media plays a large part in influencing a child’s interests. From commercials telling a child what breakfast cereal is the best to what the coolest clothing to wear is, there should come no surprise that toy ads target one gender or another. After watching several ads targeted to either a male audience or a female audience of varying ages, certain patters and themes began to appear. Common themes in commercials like these include\n\n* Toys for boys\n\n1. Building and construction\n2. Competition\n3. Action\n\n* Toys for girls\n\n1. Domestic work and child rearing\n2. Self-image\n3. Beauty\n\nTo give a somewhat neutral example of how far this goes, I found a side by side comparison of a commercial advertising the same toy but targeted towards different genders. Ironically, the advertisement was shown within a 10 minute window of each other on the same kids channel. [Link](https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Zgdj5FXOOp8&feature=youtu.be&t=13)\n\n\\*\\*I found a bunch of articles talking about literature having an affect on gender stereotyping, but I went with this once since it's open access.\n\nA fun little experiment by BBC shows that even the most open minded individuals that believe they're raising their kids with an aschematic view [still show bias](https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nWu44AqF0iI&feature=youtu.be&t=45). It just goes to show you that  we are not perfect and it's hard not to gender stereotype our young children.\n\n​\n\nEdit: Thank you  [\/u\/Cautiousin514](https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/u\/Cautiousin514)  for the Rocket Like award!

She hardly said a word to me in the car so when we got back to the house I asked her what was going on. She started crying and asked why I tried to embarrass her like that.

{"prompt":"My (36M) wife (25F)  of two years is pregnant with our first-born child. We've been together for five years. She is 18 weeks pregnant right now. She's a great woman usually . Kind, loyal, and homely.  However, I am scared  and a bit annoyed by how reckless I've seen her be while pregnant with our child.  \n\nFirst of all, she insists on still doing the grocery shopping and carrying bags in from the car. She also still goes running twice a week which I've heard can be so dangerous in terms of encouraging miscarriage! She still drinks soda often even though there's caffeine in it (also harmful). She remains working even though we could get by perfectly well for the next few months on my salary.  She insists on tracking the her pregnancy symptoms herself through some app on her phone, even though I  have been already using a top-rated app program to monitor her progress. \n\nAll these little reckless acts are frustrating enough but what has really broke me is that last weekend she went to an event run by a friend of hers. I had warned her off it for weeks. There was absolutely no need for her to go in her condition.  She went anyway and she stayed way too late and lied to me about it. I was working at the time so I didn't see her until the next day. She told me she got home at 10:30pm but I found a cab receipt in the hallway that says 1:13am. When i confronted her, she also insisted that she had been drinking non-alcoholic rosé all night but honestly I wouldn't be surprised at this point if she had been drinking alcohol too! \n\nI flipped out and told her that I could already tell she was going to be a shitty parent and that I wished she would just listen to me.

{"prompt":"Bit of a long story but need to post here as we are both completely convinced we are not TA in this situation.\nSo I went to a rave recently with a group of friends and not my GF. About a week or two after this rave I get a message on Facebook from some random girl I’ve never met or seen asking if I was the guy from *name of rave*. I said yes, because I was there, and we kept chatting a bit until I realised she had mistaken me for someone she had met there and obviously taken home to sleep with after. At this point she was being really flirty but as I know for sure I wasn’t who she thought I was - and I saw my GF right after the rave so we all know that’s true - I thought I’d continue chatting as a joke. I wasn’t flirting too much back, but when she’d flirt with me I’d acknowledge it to keep the ruse going. \nSo this goes on slowly for a few weeks - Not all day every day so it’s not like we’re chatting constantly - and then one day my GF and I are together and she sees a message from this girl pop up and takes my phone and it just goes off from there. \nShe’s angry that I’ve apparently lied to this girl and she thinks I’m trying to trick this girl in to sex (she was saying we should meet up “again” but I wouldn’t have done that as I love my GF.

The ceremony is happening in our dream church and like 80% of the guests are from either his church or mine (the other 20% are family). Alex is some kind of Catholic, but Nicole has never been baptized or even gone to mass before. According to Ken, she has no interest in religion. This bothers me a lot because I feel like she won't appreciate our ceremony or the church. Nicole is also very exotic looking, with brown skin and dark hair (her parents are from South Asia) so people will already be giving her looks anyway (not a lot of diversity in me or Ken's families).\n\nHere's the issue: Nicole partied a lot in college - drinking, smoking, everything. She would post pics of herself in crop tops and tight jeans WEEKLY. I'm worried that she will wear something inappropriate to my wedding, drawing even more attention to herself.\n\nI asked Ken to ask Alex to talk to Nicole, but Ken never did. So I texted Nicole and discreetly brought up that I'd like to approve her outfit before she bought anything tasteless. Nicole told me that she will do no such thing, and I told her I'm worried she will feel uncomfortable with people staring at her.  She is adamant that nobody will be staring at her and that she will wear what she wants. I asked her to promise me that it wouldn't be anything inappropriate, but she hasn't responded.\n\nAITA?

He has never been good with dating\/relationships unfortunately, but he ended up going on multiple dates with a girl that goes to his school.\n\nInitially he described the dates as being really fun, that they have a lot to talk about\/there's tons of flirting, etc. I only met her once but they did seem to have real chemistry.\n\nSo backstory is that he supposedly asked her what kind of relationship they have and she friendzoned him. When she messaged him again, he told her he was hurt and needed space. After a week, he messaged her back apologizing and would try to continue as friends. She ghosted him completely, which made him more hurt. He made a couple more attempts at messaging her but she ignored all of them.\n\nHe's been speaking to me a lot about this, but I basically told him \"most girls can be ruthless, stop being invested in that slut. If she got so offended that you were taken back by being friendzoned by her and wanted some space, she can fuck off. Go around, sleep with other girls, don't worry about any commitments or how they feel, just have fun. Eventually the right girl will come along\"\n\nLately he seems to be getting over it, but when I told my girlfriend what I said, she told me I was out of my mind. Being that she's a female, I knew she wouldn't understand, but I felt my cousin needs to know that he needs to be a little less sensitive to these matters and dancing around the subject will only hurt him more.

He was really upset. I told him that it was just a cat, and that he shouldn’t be so upset.\n\nHe got kinda mad at me and told me to shut up, and I also got kinda mad because of that.

I wasn’t bullying him, I was just telling him my opinion on the books. Apparently he’d been crying because his face was red, and I told him and my mom that he was too sensitive for his own good.

She's been acting very melancholy and distant. Just prior to getting married, there was a pregnancy scare. Honestly I was terrified... I really didn't want a child at that point just yet. I would be ready a year later, but not quite at that stage. \n\nI told her my view, that ideally I'd like her to get an abortion but its ultimately up to her. I spent a lot of time praying that she would get an abortion and come to her senses. Thankfully she decided that she wanted to abort. And then we had our boys soon after. \n\nNow she came forward to me and said she is feeling emotional about that time. I just didn't understand. Why is she bringing up this stuff from the past? Doesn't she care about our two boys? I told her that \"I'm very glad that you had that abortion. It was the best thing to happen to me, and now we have our boys. They're our priority. Not what could have been, that's all not real\". \n\nThis angered her and she stormed off. Since then she confronted me and called me an asshole and dickhead.

Just like you are entitled to feel happy that she had an abortion, she is entitled to feel grief, regret, or whatever else that she feels. Just because the abortion was 10+ years ago does not mean she is not entitled to feel those things. And there are any number of reasons that she may be feeling her current feelings now, a decade later. Ideally, a partner would be open to learning more about her current struggle with this and provide empathy.\n\nIt should go without saying: your wife's feelings about having an abortion in no way affect her ability to be a parent to the two children you have now. She can both feel whatever feels genuine to her about the abortion and be a fantastic parent to the kids.\n\nFinally, you say that \"I told her...I'd like her to get an abortion, but it's ultimately up to her.\" There is a place for the would-be father to share his feelings about having a child and about abortion when there is an unplanned pregnancy, and you correctly recognize that the choice was not yours to make. But based on your description of her decision to have the abortion as \"com[ing] to her senses,\" I can't help but wonder if she felt pressured into having the abortion. It very well might not be the case. But if so, it may be an underlying part of her struggle with this right now. ######"}

So I calmly said to her; \n“I’m about to be a REAL mom. I don’t want any of your hand-me-downs” \nApparently she told the whole family that and now I’ve been fielding phone calls from my Mom all day about how selfish that was & how I’m being a brat. But it’s true. She isn’t a real mom & she doesn’t ask or act like she wants to know what my newborn will need once he\/she is born. \nSo am I the asshole for pointing out that my sister doesn’t have any real kids?

{"prompt":"Throwaway for obvious reasons. Also this is long.\n\nI (35F) married my husband (56 M) 5 years ago and his family has been awful to me and our son (7M) because I was the other woman. His ex-wife dragged him through a two year long contentious divorce and got the house, pretty much everything he owned except his business, and an exorbitant amount of child support.\n\nThey had three children together, “Junior” 24M, “Eve” 22F and “Kate” 16F). The older two do not acknowledge me. Kate is not rude because she generally stays with us every other weekend but she will not talk to me if she can avoid it. Our 7 year old “Brady” has cerebral palsy and is non verbal and non mobile, so they use that as an excuse not to develop a relationship with him at all. My husband was very close with Junior before we got together and they used to do typical father-son things. After his parents divorce, Junior grew distant and went away to college, and my son will never be able to do the bonding things my husband wants. Eve is engaged and stated that she does not want my husband to walk her down the aisle because he doesn’t “respect the covenant of marriage.” She’s also made it clear I’m not invited to the wedding.\n\nMy husband’s parents and sister are religious and do not approve of the adultery, the divorce or my having his child out of wedlock.

I’m kind of annoyed because she should have set aside some money like she said she would. Why say something you’re not gonna do? I thought about it for a while and decided to ask for the switch back. None of her money went into it, so it’s technically not hers. She was really bummed out, but was a good sport about it.\nI personally don’t think I did anything wrong because I bought it, but my girlfriend is now telling me I’m a “dick” because we both have decent jobs and easily could have replaced the switch we had. She’s really upset with me, and says if I don’t give our friend the switch back that she’s gonna go buy her one herself. Which I think is stupid. AITA here??? ######","completion":" YTA.\n\n>Why say something you’re not gonna do?\n\nExactly. YOU are the one who said things you did not follow through on, however, not your friend. She said she “may” pay you back the money, YOU told her the Switch was a gift and not to worry about it. \n\nYour girlfriend is right, you did act inappropriately.\n\nETA:\n\n>UPDATE: I have just read all of your comments and cannot reply to them all. First of all my girlfriend stole the switch back and brought it back to our friend without me knowing. \n\n“Stole?!” You’re kidding, right?? Your girlfriend gave this person back what YOU stole from HER. \n\n\n>For everyone asking how I can’t POSSIBLY see that I’m TA I was taught that when someone gives you an expensive gift you’re obligated to pay them back in some way, but I guess not everyone was raised that way.\n\nActually, many of us were raised to show appreciation and to return the favor when another person gives generously to us. The problem is, while the rest of us seem to understand the WHOLE concept, you appear to have missed the context where ”paying someone back” **does not actually mean compensating the original giver monetarily for the “gift” received**. Paying them back often means paying their generosity forward by being kind and generous to another person when you have the means, a simple and sincere thank you, a note to say how much you appreciated something, or even payment back in the form of a favor later on down the road. Did your parents expect you to pay them back for your birthday presents or risk having your toys taken away as a child?\n\n>Also for everyone saying I shouldn’t buy things I can’t afford. I am not struggling. I could have easily bought another one but why would I when I JUST bought one and it’s perfectly fine? That makes no sense.\n\nBecause, while you bought one, you no longer OWN one. And if you wish to own something, you purchase it for yourself - you don’t repossess it from another person. ######"}

I told her that if that's her point of view, then by that logic, whether I wear a condom or not should by my choice and she shouldn't have to part in it because it's my body.\n\nAnyways, AITA for wanting to be in the loop?\n\n**Edit:** I'm seeing several interesting points of view, but to clarify, I did look over the positives and negatives of BC although I'm only stating the negatives. She has body image issue (I think she's fine as she is, even if she's pudgy in certain areas, I love her for her), I'm concerned weight gain could make it worse as it is hard enough now and is a constant struggle to get her to accept she's perfect the way she and I stand behind belief despite her being insecure.\n\nAnd regarding a lower libido, I know it can go the other way and result in a higher one as well (which I have no issue with), I just want her to look at both sides of the coin. Sex affects both of us and is an important part of our relationship (although not a primary focus, it's a small important part).\n\n**Edit 2:** I'll show her this post and see how she feels about it, I just wanted to see other people's take on this, I appreciate the input as I'm sure she will as well. ######","completion":" YTA.\n\n>I told her that if that's her point of view, then by that logic, whether I wear a condom or not should by my choice and she shouldn't have to part in it because it's my body.\n\nIt is.

Likewise, it's your choice not to sleep or otherwise be with her if she goes on birth control.\n\nBut being worried about her fuckibility being affected by her taking measures to reduce her pain is not a good look dude.

Now that we are home together, I have been taking to them more. \n\nI typically walk my dog a mile or so in the morning and 2 miles in the evening. She has been getting longer walks lately, and last week I asked my cousin if he wanted to come along for a walk with us. We walk at a quick pace but not super fast.

I continued my walk.

{"prompt":"My 16yo son has always HATED school. He does well, but is bored. His counselor suggested taking short-term elective summer classes. Those classes would count towards his high school credits when he starts his senior year. His counselor also suggested taking community college courses that would satisfied required classes that he would have to take as a junior or senior (i.e. history, poly sci). The community college classes would be free, online and would count towards his college degree. The goal was that by the time he started his senior year, he would only have to take a couple of bullshit classes and stay at school for a couple of hours a day. Literally, he could come to school at 10AM and leave by noon. That really excited him.\n\nAfter two years of summer school and online community college classes, he has accrued so many credits that he could hypothetically graduate in 2021 instead of 2022. My son really wanted to do this and I said no. My fear is that he will regret it. He doesn't know anyone in the class of 2021 and will miss out socially.

I don’t want her hair to ever be cut (or at least for a while) and I rather not allow it but she’s always bringing it up and has even argued once and asked why I get to get my hair cut but not her, but that reason is because my hair needs to be cut because it’s not as healthy as hers since she’s young and I’m an older woman.

I saw her car idling outside the building and stopped to say hello. She snarked back something about telling it to my coworker, who would drunkenly repeat it back to her later. I asked what she meant and she said that only losers hate trophies.     \n     \nI pretty much knew she was talking about something I said to my coworker about finding my boss attractive. He’s a normal to good looking dude, but so smart and cool and pretty much the perfect catch if he were single. I told my coworker in confidence that he is so great that he didn’t seem like the type to go for a trophy wife.     \n      \nI know his wife has a good career, but it’s in a female dominated industry that is also both her parents’ profession. She gets raises every year for doing the same thing slightly differently, where my boss is a go getter who is always looking for the next challenge. She can be reactive and kind of rude, like she was to me that day. My boss is laid back and hates to hurt people. All the partners think she’s a riot and grossly tease my boss for “landing” a woman like her, but other interns find her to be a bit sharp. Like I see the obvious attraction but was just surprised a guy like him who is so down to earth and genuine could fall for her looks when they seem so mismatched.    \n     \nI guess my coworker repeated this to the wife (I guess to curry favor???) because she was so snarky to me. My boss has been short with me over email, where he was once friendly. It’s been long enough now that I can’t ignore the shift in tone and am wondering if it was that big of a deal.    \n   \nAITA for telling a coworker my thoughts? It’s not like I made a move on him for him to me acting awkward or for his wife to be mad. ######","completion":" YTA. You've gotten a great lesson in the importance of discretion in the workplace. Not only is your boss looking at you differently now, but many other people also probably see you as envious of the wife and as trying to insert yourself into their relationship. You're awfully judgmental of the wife's career in an assholish way, too. Hopefully you've learned: if you must vent these kinds of opinions, vent them to friends you don't work with. Don't put a lot of trust in co-workers who are eager to badmouth others in such a personal way. Hope you weren't relying on them for a good reference. ######"}
{"prompt":"Happened earlier today. I decided to go for my evening run that I have been conducting everyday for the past couple weeks. On the route I take, there is a particular house that is a little bit worn down and has a small dog that does ape shit crazy every time someone walks by the house. The house is fenced off and the fence comes up to my waist. The small dog has been barking at me for the past three weeks, every time I run past the house. As I was jogging past the house this evening, like clockwork the little shit started barking up a storm. I decided this time around that I was gonna show this little dog who the alpha male was so that it would stop ruining my evening runs. As it was barking at me, I made I contact with the dog, went straight up to the fence and started barking at the dog. The dog got scared and ran into it’s dog house. Just as I thought I had solved my dog problem the owner comes out from behind a bush with gardening gloves on and starts berating me for scaring her dog. I told the lady that she is a shitty dog parent and that if she did a better job socializing her dog it wouldn’t be such a menace to the passerby’s. She freaked out and told me to f*ck off. AITA for barking at the dog? ######","completion":" YTA. You're running PAST the house. Realistically, how long could the dog be barking at you anyway? 30 seconds?

I told him to use his sisters cartons and crayons to start practicing and that next week (this Monday) I will buy him too. \n\nWell, yesterday he wasted a lot of his sisters cartons because he kept failing while he was attempting to draw until his sister had enough and told him that this is the last carton she’s giving him. After she gave him the last carton he finally started drawing with attention and probably spent an hour and a half on it. When he was done he came to me and showed me what he did. I honestly couldn’t tell what animal he attempted to draw based on his painting but in the end I assumed it was a dragon since it was breathing fire. He asked me about my opinion and I told him that I honestly think the art was bad and he shouldn’t have wasted all his sisters cartons for it but also not to worry about it because with enough practice he is going to become good at drawing. My husband was mad about my response and told me that I should have just said it was good and encourage him to continue (I did though) and that his art was actually pretty good for a beginner. \n\nI thought my response to my son was reasonable because although I told him his drawing was bad I still encouraged him to keep going and not give up, that was until today when he came to me and told me not to buy him the art supplies because he doesn’t want to draw anymore.

I understand that logic in the fact that no, my wife and I are not directly paying for her school, but if she gets sick or injured or she needs to come back home, we'll be both financially and emotionally paying for it. \n\n\nNot to mention the fact that her moving so far away would be robbing my other daughter (12F) of her older sister when she's at the age that she needs that guidance from someone closer to her age. \n\n\nI think it's a rather selfish decision and told my eldest so, but that just made her even more angry.

She already told me she won’t get any more tattoos, but near the start of our marriage I told her that I didn’t like her with dyed hair. \n\nShe likes it though and now that she is allowed to have it dyed at work she went ahead and asked what color she should get.

I’m gonna go ahead and say this now: I don’t care for cats since I’m allergic to them and hers was no exception. I’m not really an animal person in general, but if I were to get one it wouldn’t be a cat. They’re disgusting and they creep me out.\n\nMy girlfriend and I moved in together at 18, and I was always under the impression that she would leave the cat with her parents since she knew how much I didn’t like them. Long story short the cat came with her and while I wasn’t thrilled about it, I allowed it to stay under the conditions that it wouldn’t sleep in our bed, it wouldn’t sit on the furniture, and it wouldn’t go into my office space.\n\nOver the course of the last two years, I would come home from work and my girlfriend would be chilling on the couch with the cat after I’d asked her not to. I’d get ready to climb into bed and there’d be cat hair on my sheets so I know she let it into the bedroom. Not to mention, she has what I feel like is an unhealthy obsession with this thing. She’s constantly talking to and cooing at it like it’s a person and it drives me up a wall. For a while, I just slept in my office so I wouldn’t have to deal with an itchy face and puffy eyeballs.\n\nWith us being stuck at home now, it’s even harder for me to have my own space. The straw that broke the camels back was when I went into my office and found her cat sitting in the window. I’ve asked time and time again for her cat to stay out of my space and I feel like she deliberately disrespects my wishes, so I found a walk-in surrender shelter today and dropped the cat off. I haven’t told my girlfriend, and being that it’s an indoor\/outdoor cat I hope she just thinks it ran away.

As we are moving into the house we are discussing financial contributions for our new living arrangements, and who should be paying for what. I am of the mind that we split all living expenses (house payment, groceries, utilities, etc) 50\/50, and we are both on the hook for paying for our own cars and other personal financial responsibilities (student loans, credit cards). They, however, think that because I make more I should contribute more to the living expenses, allowing them to save more and have more on hand for rainy days. They are recommending I pay 3\/5s of the living expenses, but I am refusing\n\nThis is becoming a point of contention for us. Am I the asshole for refusing to pay more? ######","completion":" YTA. You need to think in terms of the percentages of your income. The financial strain should be equal between the 2 of you if you want things to be split evenly. I think it's fair to keep your individual bills separate like credit cards and student loans, for sure. And if you were closer in your incomes, maybe an overall 50\/50 split on everything would be more feasible. But given that you make double their salary, you need to keep that in perspective for your shared expenses.\n\nSay for example you make 100k a year and they make 50k. Your mortgage is 2k a month. If you each paid 1k of that mortgage a month, then annually you'd be spending only 12% of your income on it while she's spending 24% of hers. That's a huge difference. To have it more equal you could each agree to pay closer to 18% of your annual incomes on the mortgage, meaning you'd spend closer to 1500 a month and they'd spend closer to 750 (with wiggle room  obviously depending on how you agree upon it).\n\nIf you truly think it's fair to make them pay the same amount as you when it's significantly more feasible for you than it is for them, then that's on you, but be prepared for finances to be a rough patch in your relationship.\n\nEdited just to add: You both suck for not discussing this much sooner in your relationship and for choosing to have a child without first hashing out how those expenses and your overall financial future was going to work to accommodate it. ######"}

{"prompt":"Throwaway since my friend uses reddit.\n\nSo I (17f) have this friend (18f) who is totally cringy. She's very obsessed with kpop, like I'd say it's the majority of what she listens to. She's also really really into Chinese tv shows, like cdramas and stuff. Literally the majority of what she consumes is Asian entertainment, even though she's white. Her reasoning is that she want to study Chinese and finance in uni and go on exchange to China, but I don't see how watching cdramas can help you learn the language.\n\nAnyway, recently we were chatting on zoom and she kept on bringing this stuff up. Like we were talking about exercise and she said she's started learning kpop dances for exercise and later on she was telling me about her latest Chinese tv show. That's when I stopped her and said something like \"you know it makes you look like you've got yellow fever when you talk about this stuff, right?\"\n\nShe got kinda quiet and said her usual excuse about the language, but I told her I think that's bullshit. She's either fetishising Asians or she wants to be one and I don't know which is worse. She denied it and changed the topic, but I noticed she got really quiet and ended the conversation quickly.

I talked to some friends but the reaction was a bit mixed.It is a nice apartment and I have already bought it with my money.I haven't told her about this and wanted to surprise her with it right after our wedding.

You made two, HUGE financial decisions by yourself that should have been handled as a couple. It’s okay if you don’t want to spend the amount of money a traditional wedding would cost, but the two of you need to come to an agreement on that – you don’t just get to decide that’s how it’s going to happen. And purchasing a home without the input of an adult person who will be living in it is even worse. You may have taken the preferences she expressed to you into consideration, but there’s a reason people walk through and see homes before buying them instead of just giving a realtor a list and saying “find something that fits this, see you on moving day!” ######"}

Lets get on to the problem\n\nIt was 7:30 4\/21\/2020 and I sat down for dinner with my family. The vegetables for today were cauliflower. Recently I have been eating my vegetables like green beans, peas, carrots,  and  asparagus. But I could not get myself to finish 3-4 cauliflower. My siblings and parents all finished eating and took there plates to the sink, I didn't because I still had food on my plate. About a hour and a half pass, I still had not eaten them. My mom got so fed up with it she took my phone, laptop, headphones, food that I liked, stuff in my room, and then sent me to bed at 9 o'clock telling me that I was failing school and I was throwing my like away. I now didn't have a way to join my classes online and she knew that. I went to bed. This morning my alarm didn't work. When that happens my mom always wakes me up. I always wake up at 7 30, she woke me up at 8 10 and asked me if I was going to school that day (I have never skipped school) and gave me my laptop and headphones for today, I don't know if she will take them back later.

You know this is not just about the vegetables. It's about you not taking the opportunities your mom is working hard to give you to improve yourself and your life. She's hurt and frustrated.

When my daughter found out , she went to stay at her grandparent's house(my parents). They shouted at me for selling her companion , who she had since 7 years. AITA for selling the cat? My wife and her parents agree that , this was the best thing to do. ######","completion":" YTA. You don’t get to sell a family pet that’s been around for 9 years just because you’re a shitty parent.

{"prompt":"Didn't want the title to be long but I'm also asking if I'm TA for not including him into our plans for our father's birthday.\n\nMy brother is your typical last born who's spoilt and a party animal. He's also a troublemaker and has a tendency of ruining things so my siblings and I didn't include him when we called our father for his birthday last week. It was just a call to sing happy birthday then have a bit of chit chat afterwards. He didn't even know it was his birthday yet he lives with him.\n\nAnyways, a few days later my dad calls and tells me that his health is getting worse and would like to get his will up and running but he wanted me to write it for him. He gave me a few guidelines of what he wanted and I wrote it based on that. Though dad never mentioned this, for my brother's will I added that he can only access his inheritance when he's 31 (he's currently 20) and if he's gotten formal education in the form of a degree (any). My father read through it and he also agreed that it was a smart idea to make sure he didn't just blow it.\n\nI foolishly told my husband about all this and I suspect he was the one who told my brother (they're close). Now my brother's been messaging me calling me an asshole (used another word) for trying to control him with the will since my father hadn't thought of the requirments before and he's also chewing me off for treating him as the 'black sheep of the family' by not involving him in the call. Aita? ######","completion":" YTA. You don't write in your wishes in someone else's will. What happens to the money if your brother does just fine in life but never gets a formal degree?

{"prompt":"The other day I commissioned an artist to draw my character. I paid $60 for the full body shaded which is a bit pricy (for me) but I assumed maybe this artist takes a long time like 6-7 hours which is why they price it like that, so I understood why. They sent my a sketch not long after I paid and I approved it expecting to wait a while for the finished art. Well what ended up happening is that they sent me the finished artwork early in the next day and I was like that was fast?? The artist said they work quick and plus I got in early on their queue. Out of curiosity I asked them how long it actually took them for the drawing and they said just under two hours..... I know what you’d may be thinking that I should be happy I got the fast service but hear me out. I felt a little bit scammed because I paid $60 only because I thought this artist probably takes a lot of time, so it is worth it to pay a high price for it. But they didn’t even draw for a full two hours... I asked the artist if I could have a partial refund maybe because it clearly did not take that long. They told me straight up no and seemed kinda annoyed with me. Idk I just feel like the price wasn’t justified. I talked to my friends and like half of them said they understood and the other half said It was a dick move even just for asking. But to be fair the ones that said it was a dick move were also artists so they are biased. AITA? ######","completion":" YTA. You don't only pay for the actual time it took someone to finish the painting but also for their experience which is why the hourly wage of some artists is higher than others - plus, if you paid 60 bucks and are happy with the end result, it should not matter how much time it took them to finish the painting\/drawing. You pay for the end result, not the time. ######"}
{"prompt":"My girlfriend and I have been together since we were 13 (we’re 20 now), and she’s had her cat for the duration of our relationship. I’m gonna go ahead and say this now: I don’t care for cats since I’m allergic to them and hers was no exception. I’m not really an animal person in general, but if I were to get one it wouldn’t be a cat. They’re disgusting and they creep me out.\n\nMy girlfriend and I moved in together at 18, and I was always under the impression that she would leave the cat with her parents since she knew how much I didn’t like them. Long story short the cat came with her and while I wasn’t thrilled about it, I allowed it to stay under the conditions that it wouldn’t sleep in our bed, it wouldn’t sit on the furniture, and it wouldn’t go into my office space.\n\nOver the course of the last two years, I would come home from work and my girlfriend would be chilling on the couch with the cat after I’d asked her not to. I’d get ready to climb into bed and there’d be cat hair on my sheets so I know she let it into the bedroom. Not to mention, she has what I feel like is an unhealthy obsession with this thing. She’s constantly talking to and cooing at it like it’s a person and it drives me up a wall. For a while, I just slept in my office so I wouldn’t have to deal with an itchy face and puffy eyeballs.\n\nWith us being stuck at home now, it’s even harder for me to have my own space. The straw that broke the camels back was when I went into my office and found her cat sitting in the window. I’ve asked time and time again for her cat to stay out of my space and I feel like she deliberately disrespects my wishes, so I found a walk-in surrender shelter today and dropped the cat off. I haven’t told my girlfriend, and being that it’s an indoor\/outdoor cat I hope she just thinks it ran away. I love my girlfriend, but her cat was legitimately our only source of conflict. ######","completion":" YTA. You don't love your girlfriend. You gave away her beloved life long pet.

{"prompt":"Me (18M) and my boyfriend (20M) have been dating for a few months now. Before quarantine kicked in we lived together on the same floor at our university hall.

He would get mad at people and talk about the rampant exploitation and torture of animal lives. \n\nSafe to say, I was VERY surprised to find out than he was eating meat after we both went home for quarantine. He’s gone back to his childhood home and his parents refuse to cook vegan food. We were talking on FaceTime and I asked him why he doesn’t just buy vegan food for himself, and even offered to help pay for it if it was a money thing, but he was dismissive of it. I called him out for it by calling him a hypocrite for parading around his care for Animal Rights just to turn around and eat meat. He got mad at me and said he would go vegan again when quarantine was over, but for now, his situation is “easier”. He hung up shortly after.\n\nI feel like he is still mad at me. Maybe quarantine has been wearing me down emotionally, but veganism is important to me and finding out it wasn’t as important to him as he presented himself to be... it feels like a betrayal.

I told her that I feel like she should be respectful about when I don't want to talk about my *own* personal life.

{"prompt":"Throwaway. This took place awhile ago but the fallout is still hot. My father had health problems for the last few years and he recently succumbed to them.. During this time my brother had gotten married and was on his honeymoon.\n\nI made the choice to be the one to inform my brother of the news. Our mother died years ago, so I am the only one left in our family that's closest to him. I told any other distant family members to refrain from letting him know until I say it's okay.\n\nI decided in all fairness, that he should get to enjoy his honeymoon with his new wife, and I decided not to tell him until he gets back.\n\nWe had a few gatherings and then the funeral happened. Some people were wondering why my brother wasn't there and I explained the situation that he is on his honeymoon. A few people thought it was the right thing to let him enjoy it, others thought I should have told my brother, so I guess that is where the divide began.\n\nA few days after the funeral my brother came out and I quickly texted him that our father died. He almost immediately called me up and was freaking out, understandably. I expected he would be surprised, but he sounded flabbergasted as if our father had no health problems prior to his death.

{"prompt":"I’m currently dating one of my employees, we’ll call her Scarlett but I just went through a drawn out divorce and she doesn’t want people to think she’s only succeeding in her career because she’s sleeping with the boss so we haven’t told anyone. There is another woman who works for me and we’ll call her Nicole.\n\nNicole and Scarlett do not get along. I think Nicole sees Scarlett’s success and thinks it all has to do with being beautiful and charismatic but there is a lot more to it. She’s honestly one of the smartest most driven people I’ve ever met.\n\nI work late a lot but I always let my employees go on time. I was in the office at about six, Scarlett was there as well and I thought everyone else had gone home. I went into the break room to get something out of the refrigerator and I didn’t turn the light on. I heard footsteps, thought Scarlett was the only person there and decided to scare her.\n\nWell I scared Nicole. We were both embarrassed but I apologized multiple times though I’m sure Scarlett smirking in the doorway didn’t help. Anyway Nicole kept whining about how much she hates being scared and that her father used to do that (I have a kid, all fathers do that) but she kept acting like t was so traumatic and I finally told her she needs to calm down.\n\nShe called out sick for Monday and now I feel like it’s because of what I said and I kind of feel like an ass. ######","completion":" YTA. You behaved completely unprofessionally towards an employee (notably, partially as a result of an ongoing unprofessional relationship), and then you followed up by being a braying jackass when she didn't immediately get over it.\n\nCrucially, you have no CLUE why this was traumatic to her. This sort of scaring by fathers can be playful. It can also be part of abuse. She has no responsibility to justify her reaction to her boss being outrageously unprofessional\n\nI'd add that- depending on the context- dating an employee you have supervisory authority over without reporting the relationship could very easily get you both fired. It opens up your employer to all sorts of liabilities if you show favoritism (which is very much suggested in this post), or have a falling out that gets ugly, etc. This is again context dependent- the larger the organization, the more likely this is to be true. Consult the applicable HR policies. ######"}
{"prompt":"On mobile. Sorry for any formatting mistakes. \n\nMy (18m) girlfriend (17f) is bisexual.

She really is amazing. \n\nThe other day, we were talking over FaceTime about a couple from school that broke up because the one of them came out as bi. She started to talk about how happy she was that I accept her for who she is and how I’m okay with her being bi.

Because there’s a bigger chance of you leaving me because you found someone else and I don’t want to lose you. Especially to a girl.” And she just said “oh” and I asked her what was wrong. And she just said “it’s nothing” and hung up. She hasn’t really talked to me since and she’s been practically ignoring me. \n\nPersonally, I think she’s overreacting.

We met while traveling and thought it would be insane to not take a honeymoon, but we weren't financially prepared and put the whole thing on my credit card. We had never funded a trip on credit, but it was totally worth it so I didn't mind. While I paid off my card, he took over the bills,\/groceries except for my half of the rent(this wasnt a conversation, just happened automatically because all my money had to pay off what we owed).

Every paycheck, I would dump nearly the entire thing into my debt. He had a family emergency in February, and I paid for us to fly out to be with them. Recently I finally paid off all the debt, and I am so excited to actually have money in the bank.

{"prompt":"So my step daughter (20)  moved in with me, my husband (her father) and our two children (13F & 15M) at the start of lockdown because I don’t know, she wanted to. She’s was adopted by my husband and his ex wife because her  biological mom died when she was almost 5, and had been a druggie and things like that. She never had a dad. So it is understandable that she has some mental heath issues because of it. Sometimes she’ll just think too much and cry randomly, and other things. so she’s in therapy. She also sometimes has overreactions to anger and stuff. So here’s the situation. The other day I wanted to go out with my daughter for our daily walk, just mother  and daughter. We do this 3-4 times a week. This time, (she has never asked before) my stepdaughter asked if she could come too, she could really do with a walk because of her anxiety and blah blah blah. I don’t think she should’ve asked because she still had chores to do and it was meant to be just me and my daughter. She said she would really like to come, but I said she hadn’t done her chores so she couldn’t come. She looked upset but just went off to her room. When we got back, I was tidying some stuff and went to check if her room was clean and found her crying. Honestly, I thought it was pathetic because it was only a walk and she could have just gone on her own after her walk. I walked back out, told my husband and he called me a massive jerk and went to go and console my stepdaughter. So AITA? ######","completion":" YTA.

{"prompt":"This happened a few months ago but lockdown is making all of us dwell on our past possible mistakes so why not.\n\nMy daughter (6F) has a type of ichthyosis which is a genetic skin disorder that basically makes parts of her skin very very dry and scaly. I'm used to her getting some funny looks in public and luckily she's still too young to really notice but I definitely do. \n\nI took her shopping a while ago because her friend had a new pink headband and they're best friends so she had to match, obviously, and so we went into a shop that sells accessories. My daughter spotted the wall of headbands and ran over to have a look. There was a teenage girl standing there, probably about 16, and when my daughter ran over, the girl kind of jumped and then immediately went to stand at the other side of the shop (the shop was super small so it was only a few feet away). I got pissed that the girl had seen my daughter and immediately felt like she had to get as far away as possible, so I looked at her and said \"she's not contagious, you know.\" The girl gave me the stink eye and said \"I was giving her space to look at the headbands, you weirdo\" and then left the shop. \n\nHonestly I have no way of knowing if she was telling the truth. People often think my daughter's condition is contagious or don't want to be near her in case she sheds on them (she won't.)

You are insecure about your daughter’s condition and therefore automatically assuming that people’s actions are due to that. If I was in a tiny shop and someone’s child ran over to where I was I would move away too. She didn’t want to look at the headbands in a tiny cramped shop with a 6 year old trying to do the same.

{"prompt":"Hey, so, we are feeling bad and guilty for deciding the euthanize our daughter’s kitten instead of paying for surgery. \n\nWe adopted a kitten from a shelter for our daughters birthday in mid March. Late last week she started throwing up, wasn’t eating, wasn’t drinking, and was lethargic. \n\nWe took her to the vet and they felt something hard in her stomach or intestines. This kitten loved playing with small toys and LEGOs found on the floor.\n\nThey did an X-ray and found she was full of poop but couldn’t see if there was something else causing an obstruction so the plan was to keep her overnight, hydrate her with an IV, give her an enema in the morning and do another round of X-rays.\n\nWe got the call the next day saying that the X-rays still aren’t showing anything definitive and that surgery was needed. We were in $600 at this point and the surgery would have added another $1000.\n\nWe opted to go with euthanasia instead and feel terrible for making this decision since we could have afforded the extra $1000 out of our savings, but we feared that the kitten would possibly do it again if she ate something she shouldn’t have. We’ve had several kittens and cats and have never had this problem before. However, we feel terrible for our heartbroken daughter. Are we the baddies? ######","completion":" YTA.

{"prompt":"My boyfriend has very long hair. To keep it out of his face while he is at work and to keep comfortable he wears bandannas. to put it simply: he wears them too much.

But he won’t wear them out in public when we go somewhere together. I wasn’t particularly happy with that but I dealt with it until Friday. I dropped him off and picked him up from work so we could go to fleet farm and pick up some supplies for a project, he wore the bandanna he wore to work on the ride there, in the store, and all the way back home.

Nonetheless I still said that I didn’t like him doing this and requested that he stop immediately. He agreed, but has yet to be normal around me since then. He seems to be very embarrassed.

{"prompt":"Hello all. Throwaway b\/c I’d rather not have this associated with my main. I have family that lurks on here. \n\nI (30F) am pregnant with my first child, and it’s a girl!!!!💗💗🎀🎀🎀 I’m so excited to meet her. She’s definitely a bright spot in our lives right now. I also have a large, traditional, very Irish-Catholic family. There’s a lot of reusing names—i.e. one cousin is “Rose Elizabeth” while another is “Elizabeth Rose.” So far, it’s worked without too many snafus and a lot of compromise. \n\nHere’s where there might be an issue. My uncle and I have a mutual interest in family genealogy, and we’ve been trying to create a family tree via old letters\/documents. As I was going through it, I found what I consider to be the perfect name—for these purposes, I’ll say that it’s “Mabel Josephine”, nn Mae. My husband loves it too, and it’s the first name that we’ve agreed on since we found out she was a girl. \n\nMy sister (34F), however, is named Mae Janice. She has a daughter named Mei with her ex-husband as well. When I told her what our plans were, she kind of made a face and said that I needed to choose another nickname. Her reasoning is that there are way too many Mae\/Meis in our family already, and that it’s gotten confusing and frustrating. She asked if we would mind using the full name but calling her something else—i.e. ‘Bella.’ I got really mad, and I admit that I said some regrettable things about her family and husband. We aren’t speaking now. \n\nAITA? I want to use this historically significant name for my daughter, every single part of it. My family is mostly on my side, but the other day our brother suggested that I had been a bit too harsh in how I’ve gone about this, and that it would save everyone a lot of drama and confusion if I just chose another goddamn nickname.

I didn’t hesitate to say that my twin sister is my favorite person in the world. We used to hang out with each other all the time and shared a room until we went to college. Bunk beds though people. We’re back home and sharing the same room again. She understands me better than anyone in the world and no one makes me feel happier than her. We both have SO’s now, but still I’m usually happier when I hang out with my sister. This is not to say that I don’t love my girlfriend and other family members. I love all of them.

If he were 5 years younger, I would give the answer our sister gave. Our brother told our sister my answer to the question. She seemed flattered. However, she told me privately later that was an insensitive response. I told her that our brother is too old to be asking that shit.

This summer there's another wedding and I totally intend to let my now 16-year old daughter drink there if she wants to (maybe a bit more limited but a non-driver getting slightly tipsy at any age is really not a big deal, and probably even healthy to teach about knowing your limits and not getting blackout drunk in a few years at college.)\n\nAm I off base? ######","completion":" YTA.

She treats everyone like she's part of the group when she clearly isn't, and in my opinion everyone just puts up with her overly sweet nature because her boyfriend is their friend and teammate. My boyfriend also has no issue with her, and I know that they've chatted over the past few years directly, which I feel uncomfortable about. I told her boyfriend when I found out, and he brushed it off saying that she's just a friendly person.\n\nWe're planning a big party when everything is back to normal to celebrate life, and I don't want this girl anywhere near it.

I also have a large, traditional, very Irish-Catholic family. There’s a lot of reusing names—i.e. one cousin is “Rose Elizabeth” while another is “Elizabeth Rose.” So far, it’s worked without too many snafus and a lot of compromise. \n\nHere’s where there might be an issue. My uncle and I have a mutual interest in family genealogy, and we’ve been trying to create a family tree via old letters\/documents. As I was going through it, I found what I consider to be the perfect name—for these purposes, I’ll say that it’s “Mabel Josephine”, nn Mae. My husband loves it too, and it’s the first name that we’ve agreed on since we found out she was a girl. \n\nMy sister (34F), however, is named Mae Janice. She has a daughter named Mei with her ex-husband as well. When I told her what our plans were, she kind of made a face and said that I needed to choose another nickname. Her reasoning is that there are way too many Mae\/Meis in our family already, and that it’s gotten confusing and frustrating. She asked if we would mind using the full name but calling her something else—i.e. ‘Bella.’ I got really mad, and I admit that I said some regrettable things about her family and husband.

Half an hour later, my mom came into my room, saying that my grandmother was crying because ***\"I didn't respect her like I should have\"*** and that ***\"I should apologize to her\"***\n\nI almost told my mom to fuck off but in the end, I felt bad for my grandmother\n\nAm I the Asshole in this story? ######","completion":" YTA.

{"prompt":"Hello\n\nSo my (25f) boyfriend (29m) was with a Japanese girl through college and up until we met, about two years ago. \n\nThroughout the relationship, he studied Japanese so he would be able to communicate with her family in Japan. \n\nHowever, even though they've broken up, he is still studying Japanese. I asked him if he could study Spanish, the language MY family speaks, but he said no. \n\nHe said that he wasn't interested in it, my family was all bilingual so it wasn't necessary, and that the Japanese was just a habit he wanted to maintain. \n\nThe way I see it, he's demonstrating that he was willing to put in a lot more effort for her and her family than he is for me, and that really stings.

{"prompt":"My gf has recently got very into skincare stuff. She suffered from pretty bad acne until last year when she went on acutane and it cleared it up. Since then she's been excited about being able to try different products and stuff. \n\nOne of her recent favorite products is this moisturizer which has snail slime in it. I find that honestly disgusting. She says it works really well for her skin which is a lot dryer than it used to be because of the acutane but I just do not get why you'd want to smear snail slime on your face. There's plenty of moisturizers that don't have actual snail in them. I absolutely cannot fucking stand the thought of kissing her on the cheek and kissing snail.\n\nSo I did some research and a couple weeks ago I found another moisturizer (it took ages, I had no idea there were seven million moisturizers) which has similar positive reviews to the one she uses, but without snail slime. It was expensive too, probably more than her snail one. I checked the ingredients and there's nothing in there that she's allergic to so I bought it. When she was out, I scooped out the snail cream from the pot and replaced it with the stuff I'd bought. I didn't throw away the snail cream but I decanted it into another container because I didn't want to throw away her stuff.\n\nShe used the new cream which she thought was snail cream for a few weeks with no issue. Then she found the jar of her actual snail stuff a couple days ago and asked me what it was and I came clean. I told her that the thought of her smearing snail on her face made me gag so I found a really good new one for her. I told her I hadn't told her because I wanted her to see that it worked just as well and she wouldn't give it a fair shot if I just asked her to use a different one. She hit the roof and accused me of tampering with her stuff. Ngl I'm still pretty sure I wasn't that out of order because I picked a great new moisturizer but she's still mad at me so I'll ask the hive mind AITA. ######","completion":" YTA. Tampering with anybody's stuff is pretty immoral. You may have made sure that she wasn't allergic to any of the stuff in the moisturizer but what if she actually had been allergic to something in it and you still replaced the creams?

{"prompt":"My gf and I share 2 cats together. The first one we adopted about 4 years ago and the second one we rescued from the streets one year ago.\n\nHowever our first cat started getting fat so my girlfriend started starving the cats basically. She feeds them 1\/4 cup of food twice a day. If you look at how much 1\/4 of dry cat food is, you’ll see it’s next to nothing. For one of the cats bowls it only fills like 1\/4th of the entire shallow oval bowl.\n\nThe cats wake us up in the morning and try their best to get our attention at night because they’re so hungry. If you walk near their food they’ll run over thinking they’ll get fed. I feel so bad for them. We used to fill their bowls to the top and for a few months we had a gravity feeder. I at least tried to get the GF to go back to at least just filling the bowls normally. She won’t budge.\n\nI’ve tried secretly feeding the cats extra but the GF found out and starts HIDING the food because I’m ruining their diet and feeding schedule.\n\nShe’s basically starving the cats. I’ve been contacting rescues on FB to see if they’ll take the cats and I posted their pictures on a local facebook group hoping to find a better fit because I don’t think my gf can properly take care of them anymore and she won’t let me properly feed the cats a good amount. Does this make me an asshole or is it the right thing to do for the welfare of the cats. I don’t think she see’s what she’s doing is wrong and wouldn’t willingly give the cats to a better home or adjust their feeding because one of them just happens to be little fat. ######","completion":" YTA.

She asked me why I couldn't have even just helped her pay off her student loans or given her the car, but here's the thing - after doing all the math, I realized that after selling the house and car + my dad's savings, I was able to pay off my house, both cars (including my husband's), and set up a college fund for my kids (6F and 8M).

{"prompt":"This is petty but it irritated me and I want some feedback. IDK maybe stay-at-home is getting to us. Girlfriend and I have been watching Jeopardy on Netflix recently as a nightly ritual before bed. I love calling out the answers I know, which is usually quite a lot (I've had multiple people tell me I should try out for the show). She does sometimes but rarely. She has a habit however of the ones I don't know or the ones where nobody on the show knows them she will go \"mmm hmmm\" when Alex says the answer, like she knew it the whole time. After like so many times of this I paused it and confronted her and asked her why she does that. She explained how she knew the answer on that particular one and to me it was an insinuation that she like knows every single answer every time she goes mmmm hmmm. So I unpaused it and passive-aggressively started mocking her by not answering any of the questions out loud and just going mmm hmmm after every question and she rolled her eyes at me. It was really getting on my nerves so I just turned it off and left the room. We haven't talked since. AITA for being annoyed by this? ######","completion":" YTA.

I told her not to worry about it and I’d go. She snapped and said she always has to stay home with the baby and never gets a minute alone. She was saying how she feels lonely and it feels unfair, how I don’t understand how all of her meals are always cold or she has to scarf them down, and how I don’t understand that she always has to wake up with the baby and even if I were to bottle feed the baby, she’d still have to wake up anyways to pump to prevent engorgement.\n\nI got tired of the nagging and told her she needs to just formula feed and stop bitching about breastfeeding. She had the option and she chose to breastfeed, why is that my fault. I told her if she’d just formula feed then I could help more, but she keeps saying that it’s better to breastfeed and that I’m fully capable of helping her with the milk she has stored in the freezer, even though I was under the impression that she was trying to stock up for when she goes back to work. \n\nOnce again the excuses started so I said either formula feed or shut up.

I was confused once again. I understand that if I was nasty and sweaty, but I was literally fresh out of the shower. Anyway, I told her that I wouldn't do it anymore but I didn't understand why it was disrespectful. Now she's mad that I don't understand. AITA? ######","completion":" YTA.

{"prompt":"  So, I’ve been dating H for about six months and everything going great, though if I had to pick on thing to change it would be that she’s a pushover, and can’t say no to anyone. Still when we’re alone or around our friends everything is going really well. The biggest issue is her overly zealous mother, who she was forced to move back in with during the pandemic.\n\nH’s mom doesn’t like me, doesn’t think I’m good enough for her daughter, but at the same time always sucks up to me, because my dad is prominent in our community, and she thinks I’m like her daughter’s golden ticket to money. I’m definitely a jokester, always the life of the party, and honestly a lot of people don’t like that about me.\n\nSo, this weekend restrictions eased up, and her uncle invited us over for a little family get together. The mom was sort of rude like she always is, but everyone was having fun. I should mention her mother is a very strict Christian, H went to Catholic school, and he mom actually used to volunteer with some debutante thing where they taught the girls “respectable” behavior, so not the most fun woman.\n\nAnyway, I was teasing H, and she took a dab of frosting from a cupcake and smeared it on my face. She knows me well enough to know I’m competative, and kind of an ass. Now the face just seemed too obvious so I smeared the rest of my cupcake on her cleavage.\n\nShe sort of muttered something about I take stuff too far, but she was laughing, and then I saw her mother’s face. Her mother looked pissed, so I said let me get that babe, and licked some of it off. Now H is mad because she had to listen to her mother’s lecture and she said I need to learn to tone it down when I’m with her family, but she says she loves me for me and I was just being my asshole self. I think she needs to learn to stand up to her mom, so AITA for having a little food fight with my girlfriend? ######","completion":" YTA.

{"prompt":"Yesterday while I was taking it easy in the backyard with a beer, my son (17) standing by the backdoor and ask what’s for dinner, I didn’t feel like cooking anything. I had got a good price on Boston Butt, so I told him to take that.\n\nLater I noticed that he hadn’t touched it, so I went to his room to ask him. He said that he made a hamburger and fries instead, when I asked why he didn’t reply, so I had to repeat myself. he quietly said “too bloody”.\n\nThat’s something he have kept saying ever since he needed five stitches a few years ago, I’m tired of him using that argument whenever he sees a little bit of blood, he even walk away on movie nights if it comes up in a scene. So I told him that he needs to stop using that argument, that the pig is already dead and won’t feel anything. Since he didn’t say anything I asked how long he is going to keep it up. He started to cry so I just left.\n\nThe thing is, I told some friends about it and they got angry at me, saying how insensitive I was. But he still eats meat, so I don’t see how he could get so upset about seeing a little bit of blood.\n\nSo, am I the asshole? Or do my son need to stop using that argument? ######","completion":" YTA. Not everyone likes their meat bloody.

{"prompt":" \n\nI am living overseas in a place that has the pandemic under control and want to return to the States having been offered my dream job, which I have worked 15 years to get. The problem is is that I am not willing to take my two small children (1 year and 3 years) with me. I do not mind risking my own health to travel to the States and work but I feel that bringing my children would be impossible right now- I do not have family that can care for them and I do not want to put them in daycare given the current situation. Their father has offered to take care of them during the pandemic so that I can take this job.\n\nThe problem is is that I feel like a shit mother if I leave my children behind. I have concerns about how fit their father is to care for them both full time without me there. He is a bit of a man-child (sorry, I know I am going to get burned for this) in the sense that I have to make all the decisions and do all of the cleaning and care giving for the children. He is content to have them eat dry cereal all day, every day and his interactions with the kids involves having them watch him play video games. I feel that if I do leave, even if it is only going to be for six months, they will not be properly cared for. My husband and I are on the verge of divorce over his parenting and other things - so much so that I had me and my childrens' plane tickets purchased to return to the states before the pandemic broke out.\n\nAITA if I leave my children with their father for a short time to pursue my dreams? ######","completion":" YTA.

He's been a bad influence on my 13yo daughter who is clearly impressed by the money he has. \n\nLast year my daughter told me she wanted Air pods for Christmas, a present which I thought was way too expensive and not something a 12yo at the time needs to have. Last week my partner and son had to leave due to a family issue. My stepson called me to say he ordered a present for her birthday and had asked me to wrap it for him when it arrives and it was the pair Air Pods.\n\nI already know it's paid for from his drug money and I didn't want to send my daughter the wrong message and because she's already impressed by his lifestyle and I certainly didn't want her to benefit from it as well so I just kept the gift in my room with the intention of giving it back to him when he returns.\n\nShe was already a little upset that he couldn't be there and now she currently thinks he couldn't be bothered to get her anything. Today he called me to ask if she was ok, probably wondering why he hasn't got a thanks and I explained to him that I didn't think she needed such an expensive gift when I asked how he got the money for £250 earphones he just ended the call, I haven't got the chance to speak to my partner about this yet. ######","completion":" YTA. Not because you withhold the gift, that is ok for a 13yo. But you lied to your daughter, when she knows the truth, and she will, you will have a serious trust problem.

There are no computer repair shops open near us right now, so we became stuck using my daughter's laptop until they open again. I am fairly certain that this is a result of my son installing Linux on his computer, because this happened to *two* of our computers right about the same time he installed Linux on his. I told him this and took away his computer so that he can't do any more damage with it, but he got angry told me that this is impossible. \n\nToday, I looked up online how to reinstall Windows on a computer, followed the instructions, and installed it onto his computer with a flash drive. Once I reached the stage where he needs to input his information, I gave the computer back to him, told him what I did, and told him to never install anything dangerous on his computer again. He completely freaked out, started crying, and said that all of his files and his schoolwork are now gone because I wiped his hard drive. I told him that he should have thought about that before infecting our other computers, and that he should have backed up his files.\n\nI had to do this in order to protect our other computers, but I'm wondering if I should have told him ahead of time before I did it.

When she first got here I caught her several times trying to wear my clothes, makeup, and trying to use other things that belong to me. We got into big arguments about it, and I feel as if my parents rewarded her by buying her her own stuff sometimes, while not getting new stuff for me. \n\nYesterday, my friend invited me and foster sister out to their family lake where we were going to hang out with some other friends. Some people in my friend group from school like foster sister, so they wanted her to come. I didn’t, because I find her annoying and I wanted a break from her.

My parents are pretty strict about that so I knew they wouldn’t let her go. \n\nI sent her a text saying I’m sorry she couldn’t go and told her that I’d say hello to everyone. She posted a screenshot of it on her IG telling everyone that it was my fault she couldn’t go.

{"prompt":"Throwaway because my niece uses Reddit. \n\nI (45f) recently saw my niece (24f) for the first time in almost a year at a small, outdoor family get together for the 4th of July. We’re all very proud of her as she finished her bachelor’s, works full time at a job she loves, lives alone and supports herself independently and is putting herself through graduate school. I don’t drink but most of our family, including my niece, had been drinking throughout the day. \n\nI overheard her talking about drug use with my sister (her aunt) and joined the conversation. I’m not sure how they got on the subject, but apparently my niece had a problem with painkillers when she was in high school, bad enough to the point that she almost overdosed and asked to get treatment. I was irritated that her mom never mentioned this. She assured us that it was circumstantial, she was coping poorly with a lot in her life at the time and she hasn’t touched drugs since she started mental health treatment and went to an “outpatient treatment program” (that’s her nice word for rehab) in high school. \n\nI found this odd and alarming as she was clearly drunk and if she was truly addicted and had a problem, she shouldn’t be drinking. Her mom wasn’t at the gathering so I called her after we left. I was very shocked as my niece has always had a good reputation and seemed to be doing well before all this. I was hurt that she felt the need to hide it for this long and concerned about her drinking. I told her mom about the conversation and suggested she may still have a problem. My niece thinks I’m an AH for “telling on her to her mom” when she’s an adult instead of bringing my concerns to her directly. However, I know addiction pretty well and I know if I confronted her she’d deny she has a problem. \n\nAITA? ######","completion":" YTA. Just because she's your niece doesn't mean you're suddenly entitled to every piece of information like her pill popping, and there's a difference between being addicted to pills and having an addictive personality. Just having a past with addiction doesn't suddenly mean you'll be addicted to any substance under the sun, I've dealt with substance addiction myself but still remained a social drinker. Her drinking didn't raise any addiction flags before, yet now they do once you found out about an addiction she's already went to rehab for?\n\n​\n\nAlso yeah, addicts deny they have a problem. You know who else denies they have a problem? People who don't actually have a problem. If you are wrong about her possibly becoming addicted to alcohol, you realize her mom is gonna confront her about it, your niece will say she's not, and her mom will literally take it no other way than her lying right? You've pretty much lampooned her into being forced into dealing with a problem that may or may not exist when you should have confirmed it existed before taking any action.\n\n​\n\nIf there is something to suggest she suddenly relapsed or is developing a new addiction, then you haven't put it in your OP, and from just reading this it kind of seems like either being petty from not being told, or an overreaction out of fear.\n\n​\n\nEdit: OP your edit doesn't make ANY sense. The fact that alcoholism might be in the family doesn't excuse anything considering the fact that you only suddenly had a problem AFTER you found out about the past pill addiction. If that was really your justification, why the hell are you only NOW bringing this up? That's not a good excuse OP. Also a parent having had alcoholism doesn't suddenly mean the child would, so it baffles the mind that you'd make that connection despite no evidence of alcoholism in your niece. Like I mentioned before I had a substance abuse problem in the past yet was a social drinker, despite the fact that I have a parent who has dealt with alcoholism. Don't try to justify it anymore OP, you fucked up, own it and apologize to your niece. ######"}

{"prompt":"So I (22M) have just inherited a very large sum of money from my grandfather (80M), he passed recently. I won't disclose the full amount, but it's in the 7 figures. \n\nMy dad isn't in the picture... was raised by my mom (60F). Have 5 sisters (18F, 22F, 25F, 29F and 35F) and one brother (14M).\n\nAs you can imagine, things were very difficult. I always did feel neglected compared to my sisters and pushed aside.\n\nNow I'm not sure why I got the inheritance. It's not like I was smarter than some of my sisters or in a better position (I did ok for myself going to college, but they went to better ones) so this surprised me. I could be real lazy sometimes which was the opposite of my grandad so I'm surprised I got the inheritance. I think he just took a liking to me.\n\nAs soon as I found out, I knew right away I would keep all of it to myself. I don't want to give any of it to my family or even friends. It's all mine. \n\nThe first thing my family did was to call a meeting and basically they EXPECTED I would share it and they asked how, and I looked confused and told them \"you're not getting any of it\". This caused them to lose it and scream at me, especially my mom and eldest sister who said how could I do this to them. \n\nThen they said i don't deserve it as i didn't work hard (it's true I always partied and worked last minute) but I told them deserve has nothing to do with it.\n\nfrom my point of view they neglected me and didn't pay attention to me when I had problems growing up.

Not always, but certainly often. \n\nHere you freely admit that there’s no particular reason for you to have the money, it wasn’t left with instructions, it’s not for like a big debt or something... idk, to tell the tribe “I could share this, there’s no real reason for me not to, but I want it all so I’m keeping it”\n\nAny way of justifying that with “well you never visited him” or “I’m holding resentment about the way I was treated,” those are valid feelings, but they’re just justifications. They don’t really directly impact the decision you’re now making, which is “do I share this and improve the lives of my whole family? Or keep it all for myself.” You’re right to want to talk about or work through those issues—but they’re not going to give you complete cover to do whatever you want here with full moral authority. Easy to to conflate them. \n\n\nNot to call *you* these things, but the decision is selfish and greedy. It may also be a justifiable decision, but that doesn’t make it selfless and altruistic. Still keeping a large material advantage for yourself by intentional choice.\n\nHumans are those things though and if you want to make that choice, it’s valid. It will certainly give you a big financial advantage. But it’s an asshole move no matter how you slice it. And it can go faster than you think, so if you blow it all and try to come crawling back to the family, you’ll have to accept your place with them if they’ll even have you back.

My son has always wanted to have a farm and this April they bought a bunch of animals that they have been taking care of. \n\nWell my son has worked full time at a job and he also has his own business that he works at on his days off. Very hardworking man. His wife used to work at a university but has been laid off since March. Her only income has been child support that she uses to be her kids things and groceries and occasionally the animal feed. She pays for no other bills, my son does. She also is a rather plain Jane as she doesn’t even wear makeup or wear nice clothes just a t shirt and maternity jeans. \n\nWell she was supposed to go back to work next month so I was having dinner with them at their home and asked about childcare for the kids. She then informs me that since they have been fine while she has been off work that she won’t be going back and will be homeschooling the 5 year olds and that the baby was due in November and that my son wants her to stay home and care for the baby instead of a stranger. \n\nMy son is sweet man but he is easily manipulated and I feel that’s what she is doing. When my son left the room I told her that she needed to go back to work and pull her own and her kids weight and that my son shouldn’t have to support her and her kids as they weren’t his and for her to stop using him for her own personal gain. She began to cry and went upstairs. My son came down and asked me what I said and he told me that they both talked about this and made a decision and I was out of line. He asked me to leave.

{"prompt":"This happened back in Feb but it’s still an issue which she brought up recently. \n\nThe title makes me sound like I’m definitely the asshole, but just let me explain:\n\nSo my (25M) girlfriend (25F) was picking up something at my workplace. This is an office job, but it’s very stressful. Anyway, I went down to the lobby to handoff the thing my girlfriend needed. I went back up right after. \n\nLater that night, my girlfriend was telling me how she went to the bathroom in the lobby, and there was this girl quietly crying. My girlfriend said she stayed for a little bit and comforted her. \n\nNow the reason I am really annoyed by this is because that girl had got into a *huge* argument with out boss (she was clearly in the wrong though). She was acting super arrogant about something and basically got chewed out by our boss. He was seriously pissed. Basically what happened was, our boss asked her to get him a tea bag from our coffee station. She thought she was to good for that (this is something that we all have to do from time to time) and they got into a huge argument. \n\nOur boss just told her to go home for the day, and the other bosses (our boss’s peers) didn’t say anything. \n\nObviously people talk, and pretty much everyone agrees that that girl was in the wrong. Sure none of us *like* having to do that stuff, but it rarely happens. \n\nAnyway so I guess the girl was crying in the lobby and when my girlfriend told me about what happened, I instantly recognized who she was talking about. \n\nI told my girlfriend that I really wish she hadn’t done that because I didn’t want it to somehow seem like I, by relation, was taking sides against my boss, especially considering that this girl was the one who started the whole conflict. \n\nMy girlfriend says that regardless, it’s “empathetic” to still try to comfort her then. Even once I’ve explained everything, she still doesn’t think she did anything wrong. She said I’m being really cold about this. Am I the wrong one? ######","completion":" YTA.

Harvard wasn't nearly as generous, since we're fairly well off, and the amount I would have to pay would nearly wipe out all the college savings I have. \n\nI prefer Harvard despite the costs-- it's more prestigious, and it's a change of scenery from Austin, where I've lived all my life. I talked to my parents about this, and they told me that I should chose Harvard, since it's a huge opportunity for me. UT Austin is good, but Harvard is Harvard. They also opposed the idea of having me work part-time, since I should focus on studying, clubs, and internships (which I agree with). My younger brother (16) would have no college funds, but his dream school is UT Austin.

{"prompt":"The other day I commissioned an artist to draw my character. I paid $60 for the full body shaded which is a bit pricy (for me) but I assumed maybe this artist takes a long time like 6-7 hours which is why they price it like that, so I understood why. They sent my a sketch not long after I paid and I approved it expecting to wait a while for the finished art. Well what ended up happening is that they sent me the finished artwork early in the next day and I was like that was fast?? The artist said they work quick and plus I got in early on their queue. Out of curiosity I asked them how long it actually took them for the drawing and they said just under two hours..... I know what you’d may be thinking that I should be happy I got the fast service but hear me out. I felt a little bit scammed because I paid $60 only because I thought this artist probably takes a lot of time, so it is worth it to pay a high price for it. But they didn’t even draw for a full two hours... I asked the artist if I could have a partial refund maybe because it clearly did not take that long. They told me straight up no and seemed kinda annoyed with me. Idk I just feel like the price wasn’t justified. I talked to my friends and like half of them said they understood and the other half said It was a dick move even just for asking.

His ex-wife dragged him through a two year long contentious divorce and got the house, pretty much everything he owned except his business, and an exorbitant amount of child support.\n\nThey had three children together, “Junior” 24M, “Eve” 22F and “Kate” 16F). The older two do not acknowledge me. Kate is not rude because she generally stays with us every other weekend but she will not talk to me if she can avoid it. Our 7 year old “Brady” has cerebral palsy and is non verbal and non mobile, so they use that as an excuse not to develop a relationship with him at all. My husband was very close with Junior before we got together and they used to do typical father-son things. After his parents divorce, Junior grew distant and went away to college, and my son will never be able to do the bonding things my husband wants. Eve is engaged and stated that she does not want my husband to walk her down the aisle because he doesn’t “respect the covenant of marriage.” She’s also made it clear I’m not invited to the wedding.\n\nMy husband’s parents and sister are religious and do not approve of the adultery, the divorce or my having his child out of wedlock.

This is where I may be a bit of the AH in that I didn't really take it seriously and made jokes about it which just made him angrier. Obviously, I'm not offended that he's had yellow fever in the past - he's dating me now and I'm secure enough to know he's not going to cheat on me. \n\nInstead of my normally awesome boyfriend, he's turned into this sulking mess who refuses to talk to me.\n\nSo, AITA? ######","completion":" YTA.

{"prompt":"A lil backstory: I'm 34M, and have never come close to having a SO. And I don't mean I'm one of those people things never got serious with, I mean I've never even had a woman express the tiniest interest or go along if I did. It goes without saying that I'm a virgin, but I've never even had a kiss or held hands with a woman.\n\nBefore anyone asks, no, I don't think I'm entitled to those things, or that there's something wrong with women for not being interested in me. I'm not some incel dipshit. I'm just an overweight guy with bad social skills.\n\nAnd yes I've tried therapy. The therapist told me to lose weight and \"get out more\". Fat lot of good that advice did me.\n\nAnyways, at my age I'm pretty much the only single guy left in my social circle, and as a result pretty much every gathering involves a large amount of everyone else getting affectionate with their partners.\n\nIt's not that I resent them being happy or that I dislike their partners. It's just that it hurts seeing everyone around you holding hands, kissing, sweet-talking, leaning on each other, and stuff all the time, when the closest I've ever come to that (and at this rate probably ever will) was being paired with a girl classmate in school for projects (which, I might add, they quite visibly disliked).\n\nLast Friday we were out at a local pub, and sure enough it was three pairs of people and me. We weren't at our table for long before one of them had their girlfriend leaning into their lap, and another one of my friends was playing with his partner's hair.\n\nI held it together for as long as I could, but when one of them started making innuendo about their (R rated) plans that evening, I kind of lost it. I didn't raise my voice or insult them or anything, but I told them I was sick of them \"rubbing each other in my face\". From then on dinner was awkward but not hostile.\n\nThey acted like I was the worst person ever and haven't really been very nice to me since. Was I the asshole? ######","completion":" YTA. i mean i totally empathize with you and it really sounds sucky what you're going through but people will be in relationships. i don't think you're really an asshole though but in this instance..... people will be affectionate. they're not going to stop hugging and kissing and stuff because it makes you uncomfortable. have you tried the suggestions that your therapist have given you. ######"}

I play with my door closed and actively try to stay quite, especially late at night, but sometimes a death squeal or two is forced out of me.\n\nSome of my mom's friends had an unfortunate event happen to them two days ago and as a result, have moved in with us (a family of three in a already crowed house).

She said she's going to talk to me in the morning because I'm keeping our guest up.\n\nAm I wrong in thinking that I shouldn't change the way I live because we graciously invited a family to live with us?

His girlfriend's family is very rich\/formal and the invitations reflected that. \n\nMy husband and I \\[27F\\] received the invite in the mail, and they were addressed to \"Mr. and Mrs. John Smith.\" I was livid, because they totally erased my name and my identity by referring to me as an extension of my husband. My husband thought it was old fashioned but he didn't think it was offensive. \n\nI called my cousin yesterday night, and told him that I will not be attending because of the wording on the invitation. I said, technically he didn't even invite ME because he never even wrote my own name on the invitation. I mean, I go by my maiden name and I never took my husband's last name when we married. \n\nMy cousin apologized, said his girlfriend and her family were mainly responsible for the wedding planning, including the invitations, and he said they didn't know they were addressed like that. He said others received their invites a few days ago and nobody has complained about them so far. I told him that's no excuse for the blatant sexism on his invites and that we will not be attending. \n\nMy mother thinks I'm overreacting, she said my aunt is very upset at me and says I'm being a \"drama queen\".

I said I don’t care and they better be gone when we get there. I feel like she is extremely stupid and naive to think it’s safe to use those things. I don’t want my every word listened to. \n\nWell of course we get there any she still has them out. so I did what I had to and when she or her husband weren’t looking I unplugged  them and tossed them in the trash. I feel like I’m justified because 1: she blankety disrespected my concerns and 2: she needed to learn this lesson at some point, she is stupid to own this stalkerish device, it listens to everything. Once she found out she got so pissed and told me I’m fucking insane. I told her she’s being stupid and naive and she disrespected me. Then she told me I’m being a hypocrite because I have a smartphone that listens to me all the time anyway and by my logic I should throw that away too. Uh yeah no, I don’t even use hey Siri and her mother doesn’t use google assistant. She is blatantly wrong about that. Then she demanded that I get them from the trash. I refused of course and now things are not good right now.

{"prompt":"Throw away for obvious reasons. On Saturday night I (32 F) and my boyfriend (33 M) went to have dinner at his parent’s house. This was a big next step. I hadn’t met anyone in his family yet. We’ve been dating for about 6 months now. \n\nSo last week I got sick and have been taking penicillin to get over an infection and been having a lot of symptoms, one of them being gas. Most of the time it’s fine, but others, if I don’t let it out, I’ll be in excruciating pain. Everything was going great at dinner, his mom cooked a beautiful pot roast, we were all laughing and getting along famously. \n\nAll of a sudden I started getting the gas cramps so I had no choice but to try to let them out silently and once I started - I couldn’t stop. I didn’t think they smelled that bad, and some were louder than I’d hoped, but I didn’t want to step away from the table as we were in the middle of a conversation, I thought it would be rude. \n\nI got unlucky and let one go during a lull in the conversation, it was noticeably loud, but I didn’t think you could tell it was from me. My boyfriend leaned over and asked “Are you OK? Do you need to use the restroom?” I couldn’t believe he would embarrass me in front of his family like that. The rest of the dinner I was quiet from rage. \n\nThe whole stress of the situation made my gas cramps worse. The rest of the dinner was awkward, I could tell the parents knew I was the one passing gas because of my boyfriend’s questions. He dropped me off at my place after when I was supposed to stay the night at his, and he had the audacity to drive with the windows down. \n\nI can’t help that I have a medical condition that is causing me to pass gas. As he’s in the medical profession I thought he’d be more understanding. We haven’t talked much since Saturday and I’m just wondering AITA? ######","completion":" YTA. His response was actually kind as he seemed concerned for your wellbeing and while a bit blunt that may be indicative of his medical training and being used to talking about these things in a straightforward way.

{"prompt":"Throaway acc.\n\nI was very badly verbally abused as a kid which made me have some kind of trigger to being talked to a certain way.

However, sometimes I will go over to a friend's house and their siblings will be in the \"its cool of me to be playfully rude and say fuck a lot\" phases. I let their siblings know too and they seem to understand until they do it. One of my friend's brothers (19) said something along the lines of: \"My god, how can you make that mistake? You're so fuckin dumb\" during a video game and I snapped. I told him that if he ever calls me dumb or anything of the sort ever again I will make him regret or something like that. He looked scared and I feel bad. It happens a lot when people flippantly say rude stuff they don't get is rude.

It's better for him to go after a degree he enjoys and come out with student debt, than to feel forced into studying something he hates so that he can come out with a LITTLE less debt. You're acting like $5k is make-it-or-break it money -- but even two years at a public 4-year university is going to cost $20k or more.

She really is amazing. \n\nThe other day, we were talking over FaceTime about a couple from school that broke up because the one of them came out as bi. She started to talk about how happy she was that I accept her for who she is and how I’m okay with her being bi. And that’s when I decided to be honest with her and I responded with “actually, I’d be happier if you weren’t tbh. Because there’s a bigger chance of you leaving me because you found someone else and I don’t want to lose you. Especially to a girl.” And she just said “oh” and I asked her what was wrong. And she just said “it’s nothing” and hung up. She hasn’t really talked to me since and she’s been practically ignoring me. \n\nPersonally, I think she’s overreacting. She’s always encouraging me to be more honest about my feelings with her, but the one time I do, she isolates herself from me. I was just being honest. AITA? ######","completion":" YTA. Coming from a person who’s attracted to people of all gender identities, your way of thinking is wrong. I like to use the analogy of hair color. Let’s say your significant other is blond, but you’ve been attracted to people with many different hair colors over the years. Are you constantly looking at brunettes and redheads being tempted by what you’re missing? Are you more likely to leave that person because of all the other options of people with other hair colors around you? \n\nFor almost everyone, the answer is, of course, no. Just because you’re attracted to people with all different hair colors doesn’t mean you feel like you’re missing out on the ones your partner doesn’t have, and it doesn’t make you more likely to have a wandering eye. You love your partner because you love your partner, and they’re the person you choose to be with. No one person will be able to embody every single quality you find attractive, simply because as people, we tend to find many different and mutually exclusive traits attractive (e.g. liking multiple hair colors). This doesn’t make you more likely to cheat, or more likely to explore other options. \n\nBeing bisexual doesn’t mean being less monogamous. I’ve been in my relationship for six years, and although I’m also attracted to other genders, looks, etc. than what my partner has, I’m still incredibly attracted and committed to my partner. I am monogamous, and I am no less likely to leave my partner because I find other things attractive as well. Bisexuality does not equate to a less reliable partner. ######"}
{"prompt":"My wife (29F) and I (33M) had our first child at the beginning of 2020.  Since my wife was breastfeeding, she always woke up to take care of the nighttime crying as our baby usually would need to be fed.  During this time, I discovered that I would usually sleep through any soft crying, only waking up when our baby was actively yelling.  Things were rough already, but about a month ago the baby stopped sleeping in the bassinet and started exclusively on mommy's chest.  Since that only works if my wife is upright, she's been stuck on the couch every night.  I've tried to take her place a couple times, but the baby definitely doesn't sleep as well with me and I have to admit I don't really want to do it except to give my wife a break.  The issue is that there's always an easy excuse not to: my beard bothers the baby, I have to work early(wife lost her job due to the troubles), there aren't any bottles clean(we started supplementing with formula).  My wife cites these as reasons why she should just do it, but I know it's also because she doesn't trust me to wake up if our baby starts to slide off and, at the end of the day, because I'd honestly rather not have to.  My wife typically puts herself last when it comes to...well, most things, but it's hard to get her to change her mind when she fights tooth and nail to accommodate me.  AITA for not not forcing her to take the night off? ######","completion":" YTA. Clean the bottles so that you can handle the night feeds a few nights a week, and look into sleep training.

She buys more food than I buy too, and she also cooks more(she cooks better than me) Well I slowly realized that since I pay much more money than she does, I should not clean our apartment. So in the last one year she did everything around the house, and I thought she Is okay with it, but today she was upset during cleaning and she told me this is not how things should be. I told her that she should pay more then, but she said she can’t because even though she is working a lot, she buys food too and she can’t save any money.

{"prompt":"My sister and I had our babies 3 months apart, I'll call hers SB (sister's baby) and mine MB (my baby).  Hers is 5 months old and mine is 2 months old.\n\nMy sister had to go to an appointment in the hospital and because of all the Covid she didn't want to take SB so she asked if I could care for him.  I said of course, we're isolated, they're isolated, less risk here that in a hospital.  We both breastfeed our babies so she expressed enough milk to last the day so I could bottle feed SB and I would breastfeed MB.\n\nThere was a problem though, I fed SB the amount she said he could eat at each time, and he always seemed hungry still afterwards.   So I heated another Oz of milk at a time so as not to heat too much and have to throw it away.  I tried my best to make the milk last but I was down to 6oz left and I wasn't expecting my sister back for another 5 hours.  I really thought SB just needed another nibble, I was feeding MB already so I just put SB on my other boob.  SB drank a little bit then fell asleep.  The same thing happened a couple of hours later and again, I ran out of milk.  My sister had been delayed with her procedure and wasn't back yet so I just fed SB from the breast. \n\nWhen my sister came back I told her what had happened, I said I would probably be engorged tomorrow as now my tits think I've got twins, and she went ballistic.  She said it was so disrespectful and I should have given formula if it wasn't enough.  I would never give my kid formula if I could help it and I don't have any in the house.  \n\nI can see why she is upset, it's a very personal thing to feed your baby, but I'm not a stranger, SB is my nephew and he was hungry.  My sister texted me how upset she was that I crossed a line and asked how I would have felt, but I think I would have been glad she didn't give MB formula.  \n\nI'm not sure if she's being over dramatic or if I'm just a big hippie.  AITA? ######","completion":" YTA. Breast milk is still a body fluid, family or no, and breast feeding is a personal activity for a mother and her child. In the hospital we treat breast milk as a high risk medication and require two licensed people to sign off it's administration because it is a bodily fluid and even donor milk cannot be given without parental consent. Each person gets to weigh the risk\/benefit\/emotional aspects of their child getting another woman's milk for themselves. Moreover, putting the baby to your breast was entirely wrong without your sister's consent. That's much too personal of an action to take without making sure your sister was okay with her child eating from another woman's breast. Absolute worst case, you should have pumped and bottle fed if the baby was really crying hungry, not breast fed him because you thought he seemed a little less than full. \n\nHowever, your sister should have left instructions on what to do if you ran out of milk. Letting the baby go hungry isn't really an option. \n\nI think this was an accidental boundary crossing as your didn't know your sister's feelings, and I think your sister has a reasonable boundary about this. You need to apologise, stress that this was accidental as you would feel differently and didn't consider her feelings. Promise you won't do it again, and make sure you have clear instructions on what to do if you run out of pumped milk.\n\nEdit for typos\n\nETA: I'm a NICU nurse. A baby fed slightly less than it can take is not starving, and won't be harmed. In fact, babies can be very poor judges of how much food they can take without spitting. As long as this baby was being given adequate fluid and calories across the span of the day, he was in no danger, and was far from starving. ######"}
{"prompt":"Throwaway because gf has reddit\n\nI (19m) am straight and have been dating a (19f)  who’s bisexual for a little over 9 months now (who we’ll call Anna). She told me she was bi a couple months into the relationship and I was of course, completely accepting and thanked her for the honesty and trust (she’s still closeted to her parents).\n\nWell with everything going on, we had to put a hold on stuff, because I am essential worker, so I decided limited contact with her and others was the safest option. Anyways our state recently opened back up and after about a month of not seeing Anna, I asked her, yesterday if she was okay with me coming over. She excitedly answered yes and I went over. \n\nEverything was great until Anna made a joke saying “thank goodness we can see each other again I was tired of looking for girl on girl porn.” I should preface that we were sexually active before the outbreak. Anyways after the comment I got upset and a little quiet for the rest of the night. Anna noticed and asked why I was upset. I told her it was about her joke earlier and how it made me feel insecure and that she doesn’t really find me sexually attractive because I’m a guy and she’d rather watch girls. She says she clearly finds me attractive because we have sex, but she just finds girls “more attractive.” \n\nAfter that I decided I was going home and I’d text her in the morning. As I got home I got a couple texts for Anna saying that I was “inconsiderate, not accepting of her sexuality” and calling me “biphobic.” I told her I was completely accepting of who she was and that I was just insecure about myself and I told her we could talk about in the morning.\n\nThat was last night, and today she hasn’t returned any of my calls or texts.

I had K drive my truck in the parade so that my youngest and I could sit in the back with the signs and wave to everyone.\n\n\nWell, about ten minutes in K made a wrong turn (weren't leading) and we got seperated from the group. I started yelling for K to turn around which caused her to freak out and start crying. She pulled into a driveway and managed to catch up with everyone but I was rather annoyed at her. She had one job, to follow everyone else. \n\n\nThat wasn't the only thing, she kept driving slower than everyone and I had to continuously tell her to keep up. \n\n\nWhen we got back to the school K was still upset and I kept trying to tell her to just let it go.

This story is about this girl I went to high school with who I’ll call Cal. Cal and I were never particularly friends in high school, we actually did not care for eachother. \n\nShe was very loud an obnoxious, and because she was one of the prettier girls in the grade, nobody ever told her to stfu or that she’s being super annoying. Well, besides me. I have known her since we were in 1st grade so I don’t really have a problem with calling her out. \n\n\nWith teacher appreciation week just ending, I of course shared a lot of things on Facebook about being a teacher and how badly I miss my students. Cal did the same thing, albeit a bit more extreme. She posted many things a day about how she can’t wait to get back to her “students” and she misses getting to “experience them learning”. \n\nI put all that in quotes because Cal works at an after school day care center. She does not have a degree in education, I don’t think she has a degree at all. She is not a licensed teacher. She does not have students, she is essentially a babysitter. \n\nI commented on one of her posts, sarcastically congratulating her, asking what grade she taught and if she had any good lesson plan ideas for online classes. My comment was deleted right away, and she messaged me calling me a bitch.

We both have SO’s now, but still I’m usually happier when I hang out with my sister. This is not to say that I don’t love my girlfriend and other family members. I love all of them. I didn’t say the above explanation to my brother because he knows already. I don’t know why he would ask such a dumb question and I’m one to give straightforward honest replies. \n\n\nHe said that’s understandable. He then walked over to where our sister was at and asked her who her favorite sibling was. She said she likes all of them equally as much and she couldn’t possibly choose. Again, I know deep inside she would choose me, but she likes to spare feelings. However, I feel our brother is too old to be asking this. If he were 5 years younger, I would give the answer our sister gave. Our brother told our sister my answer to the question. She seemed flattered. However, she told me privately later that was an insensitive response. I told her that our brother is too old to be asking that shit. She said age doesn’t matter in this and the correct response to that question is never to choose one person in particular. I asked her if she really loves me the same as she loves our other brothers. She said that’s not the point, but yes, that she does love us the same. I was a little hurt by that. I don’t think she really means it. ######","completion":" YTA. 13 is still young and he obviously has some type of feelings about his relationship with you guys. I've heard twins have a special connection, but I don't know why you need to make your little brother feel like you could never love him as much. ######"}
{"prompt":"Throwaway because my niece uses Reddit. \n\nI (45f) recently saw my niece (24f) for the first time in almost a year at a small, outdoor family get together for the 4th of July. We’re all very proud of her as she finished her bachelor’s, works full time at a job she loves, lives alone and supports herself independently and is putting herself through graduate school. I don’t drink but most of our family, including my niece, had been drinking throughout the day. \n\nI overheard her talking about drug use with my sister (her aunt) and joined the conversation. I’m not sure how they got on the subject, but apparently my niece had a problem with painkillers when she was in high school, bad enough to the point that she almost overdosed and asked to get treatment. I was irritated that her mom never mentioned this. She assured us that it was circumstantial, she was coping poorly with a lot in her life at the time and she hasn’t touched drugs since she started mental health treatment and went to an “outpatient treatment program” (that’s her nice word for rehab) in high school. \n\nI found this odd and alarming as she was clearly drunk and if she was truly addicted and had a problem, she shouldn’t be drinking. Her mom wasn’t at the gathering so I called her after we left. I was very shocked as my niece has always had a good reputation and seemed to be doing well before all this. I was hurt that she felt the need to hide it for this long and concerned about her drinking. I told her mom about the conversation and suggested she may still have a problem. My niece thinks I’m an AH for “telling on her to her mom” when she’s an adult instead of bringing my concerns to her directly. However, I know addiction pretty well and I know if I confronted her she’d deny she has a problem. \n\nAITA? ######","completion":" YTA. 100%. No question.\n\n1.

You're not her mother & you have no business acting like a controlling parent.\n\n4.

{"prompt":" I've been sitting on this for a couple of weeks now and I'm really torn on what the right thing to do is.\n\nThe felon is my ex, Mark. Mark works as a sous chef at my friend’s restaurant.\n\nI dated Mark for a couple years, starting when we were 15, we were each others firsts and he ghosted me when I told him I was pregnant with our daughter (27). The last I heard of him was when his mom told me he was in prison; this was around 20 years ago. Fast forward to now, I've been married for the last 12 years, have a 11f and 8m, I have a well-paying job that I love and my daughter is engaged to a wonderful young man. Neither my husband or I have any family around anymore so we are still really close to Mark's family.\n\nSo my friend took a day off from work and wanted to try out her own restaurant, she invited me and a couple other of our friends along. We had a great time at the restaurant and when service had calmed down a little the sous chef (Mark) personally came out to take our dessert orders. He looked pretty much the same, except for a beard and a buzzed head.\n\nWhat rubbed me the wrong way was that he introduced himself with a different name. I think he may be impersonating someone else. I've only told my husband about the incident, who thinks that I should stay out of it. I acknowledge that it can be difficult for someone with a record to make a living, but I feel that he is being dishonest and my friend is being conned.\n\nSo Reddit WIBTA if I told my friend that her sous chef is a convicted felon? ######","completion":" YTA. 1) you’re convinced it’s him with no real proof after almost 20 years, that’s weak. 2) if it is him, there’s a very real possibility that he could have disclosed his past to his employer but introduces himself by another name to the public. this is not illegal and it is not uncommon for ex-cons to be ashamed of their past and not want to publicly acknowledge it. 3) while i understand that the justice system can be fucked and doesn’t always make the right decisions, assuming his conviction wasn’t for like, burning down a restaurant full of people or something violent and harmful, let the guy live. people can end up in prison for so many different reasons. ideally, the point of incarceration is to change people and have them pay their debt to society. if he’s gotten out and is just trying to earn a living and move on with his life, who are you to try and mess that up for him? 4) good luck going into any restaurant kitchen in the world and not finding someone who hasn’t been to jail or prison. ######"}

One little girl was super nervous and was trying to explain a concept I thought was very difficult for someone in her age group to grasp. I told her \"Sweetheart, I'm going to stop you here because I think you are nervous, and so I'm going to explain something to you so that you can explain it to other people better next time.\" Her mom was there and didn't really seem to mind when I was done explaining polarity to her, her mother even asked her if she thought she could explain it better now, to which she replied yes. I also reassured her that I would not dock her in my judging because I thought the concept was a little high level for her and that her inability to explain it had nothing to do with how good her overall project was (it was decent, not amazing). A bunch of my fellow judges were horrified and said I shouldn't have stopped her. I thought it would be better to correct her on the concept instead of knowingly let her explain it wrong to other judges.

I needed a break from learning and a chance to just laugh at something silly. \n\nI now can't stand the show either, but not because of its content, but because of the shame my mom made me feel for wanting a break when I was too young to even know that's why I liked it. \n\nIt is also one of the reasons why I hate her today. She has done a lot worse things (such as telling 4 year old me that I was responsible for her staying with her abusive husband.) But it's still something that hurts.

She did everything she had to and went above and beyond to make sure our kids got to do activities and have fun childhood memories. She went to therapy for years to try to learn to like being a mother and then to learn to cope with the regret of having children. One therapist told her being a mother was kind of like soccer (she played one season as a kid and hated it) it's just an activity that a lot of people like, but my wife will never be able to force herself to like it. She did need a lot of breaks, time with friends, time with just me, but I know she tried.\n\nMy 21 year old daughter has been clashing with her mother since she turned 12.

My daughter frequently makes comments about what sort of woman has kids and doesn't want them. The only reason my kids have even an inkling of how their mother felt is because she used to lock herself in the bathroom and cry. They have never been told she did not want them and what annoys me the most is my daughter wants to be a therapist.

She thinks Lily should be able to hang out more outside of school with their other friends, but I can't risk anything happening to my daughter with zero adult supervision, so I've had to say no. Barbara has come to our house several times, before the virus, and I can just tell that she puts things in my daughter's head about me, and I'm not comfortable with it at all, but my husband wants to encourage the friendship.\n\nSo, Lily has been talking to Barbara a lot during this isolation period over the phone and internet, and she told me today that she would prefer if I don't call her a special needs child anymore to family, my friends, or basically anyone else.

Special needs is apparently an old-fashioned and offensive term now. \n\nNow,  I know that Barbara must have put some ideas into her head. I don't think special needs is a bad word at all, it's the only way I've ever described Lily, so while I did tell her I would think about it, I don't think I can do it, and only because I feel like she was manipulated into this decision.   \n\nMy husband thinks I should suck it up and do what our daughter wishes, and Lily has given me the silent treatment since talking to me.

I was excited about it at first, because I've known this guy since first year and we're really good friends so it should be fun, but today he sent me a message saying he needed to tell me something before I met his family.\n\nTurns out he's a transgender, and his family still use his birth name and call him a she, so he knew he had to tell me before I met them. I was expecting something like \"my mom collects creepy dolls\". I don't even know how to articulate how I feel about it. I thought this guy was one of my best friends, and I've told him so much about my life and my past that I don't normally talk about, but it turns out I didn't actually know who he was at all. I messaged him back saying that what he'd just told me was huge, and that I didn't think I wanted to live with someone who'd hidden something like that from me. \n\nI just feel like I don't even know him anymore. He's talked to me about his childhood before, and must have been lying through his teeth about it, since he wasn't even a boy in the first place. If he's been lying about this huge thing, what else has he been lying about? I don't feel like I can trust him anymore, and I don't know if I want a friend like that. My sister thinks I'm overreacting about it and just told me to get over myself, but I really thought he was one of my closest friends and in three years he never thought to tell me this. I don't want to live with someone who would lie to me for so long, but she thinks I'm being a dick. AITA? ######","completion":" YTA.  Your friend has had their entire existence effectively denied by their family refusing to acknowledge that they are transgender.  When you consider that single fact, it should be pretty clear why they would hide that fact from everyone but their closest friends.  The fact that he told you this doesn't change who he is or how he's behaved around you.  The sort of reaction you had is the sort of thing transgender people are most afraid of when coming out to friends. ######"}

I don’t tolerate that kind of language in my house, and she didn’t even drop it like she should have. I sent her to her room, and she went. \n\nI discussed it with my husband, and I went up to her room, and told her that from now on, since she can’t appreciate family time, that she may not leave her room until we are up.

But isn’t that my call to make?\n\nSo then my wife asks why I didn’t go compliment my in-law because he washed my car. Mind that this is a somewhat repetitive behavior of his: mind other people’s business. Gee, he hands me napkins when he sees my hands are dirty because I *might* need them. \n\nSo fine, he wanted to wash it with my 4 year old, that was considered at some point, and I also didn’t like that because it’s a dad-son thing I could do myself.

He spent 2 hours washing my car, when nobody asked him to. \n\nOf course, I’ll say eventually that yeah, looks great, thanks. But if I’m to be honest, I don’t like that.

I told him I liked him a year ago, and things got awkward between us. We stopped talking seven months ago. However, I did text him on February to yell at him for ignoring my friend and making her cry. He told me to stop texting him, and I did. He stopped ignoring my friend. \n\nFast forward to today, and looking through our text messages, I realized how awful I was to him. I was a nice girl, and not in a good way. I would be passive aggressive when he talked about his girlfriend, I would fight with him when he called other people his best friend. I would even claim that I was his best friend because I had helped him with some stupid problems. I felt awful rereading those messages, and I couldn't imagine how he felt, having to put up with it.\n\nNow that school is cancelled for the rest of the year in my state, I planned to send all of my friends that have ever been involved with this stupid drama between me and that boy a long apology, because I'm sure that they deserve one for putting up with my shit. I'm also sure that I might not see them again, because I'm going to highschool next year. Well, now you know that this is petty eighth grade drama.

Late last week she started throwing up, wasn’t eating, wasn’t drinking, and was lethargic. \n\nWe took her to the vet and they felt something hard in her stomach or intestines. This kitten loved playing with small toys and LEGOs found on the floor.\n\nThey did an X-ray and found she was full of poop but couldn’t see if there was something else causing an obstruction so the plan was to keep her overnight, hydrate her with an IV, give her an enema in the morning and do another round of X-rays.\n\nWe got the call the next day saying that the X-rays still aren’t showing anything definitive and that surgery was needed. We were in $600 at this point and the surgery would have added another $1000.\n\nWe opted to go with euthanasia instead and feel terrible for making this decision since we could have afforded the extra $1000 out of our savings, but we feared that the kitten would possibly do it again if she ate something she shouldn’t have. We’ve had several kittens and cats and have never had this problem before. However, we feel terrible for our heartbroken daughter. Are we the baddies? ######","completion":" YTA.  Monumental one.

{"prompt":"So yesterday was my husbands 40th birthday. We’re Hispanic and pushing kids faces into the birthday cake is a big tradition. This also extends to adults birthdays, especially milestones. We have three children who are 10, 7, and 5. The 10 year old is very sensitive and caring and it’s been a difficult adjustment for my husband who grew up in a very macho household. He tries. He could be better but I know he tries.  \n\nWell my son hates the cake smashing and used to cry when his father did it to him. I defended my husband at first because it’s a cultural thing but since he’s the kid my husband struggles with the most I eventually put my foot down. I was worried that it was going to cause more resentment. \n\nAnyway the kids wanted to play a prank on their dad so when I bought the stuff for his party I let them get a thing of cheap cupcakes to smash. He was napping by the pool and the kids were getting ready but I told my 10 year old that I think it’s pretty unfair that he’s about to do to his father when he doesn’t let us do it to him. He has so many boundaries and I try to get my husband to respect them but don’t dish it out of you can’t take it.\n\nSo the younger two did their prank and we had people over that evening. Both of our families are loud and kind of obnoxious and I know it’s a lot for my son but this morning he told he he doesn’t feel like he fits in and now I feel like an asshole. ######","completion":" YTA?

{"prompt":"This happened early in March and I've been constantly thinking back on this because I don't know if I was being an asshole in this situation or not.\n\nI was out on my run at a large park that is near by. There is a playground near one of the edges, and behind it there are a bunch of short nature trails that lead out to a parking lot. I was running on one of these trails and coming from the direction of the playground, I saw a black woman (she looked around early 30's) holding the hand of a white child (he looked around 7-9). \n\nUnfortunately I know this is coming off as discriminatory, but the white child was very pale and the black woman was very dark, so I figured he wasn't mixed and that she wasn't his mother. \n\nI ran past them but I stopped. I wasn't sure if the child was being kidnapped, and I'd rather be called racist and be wrong than not say anything and be right. I walked back up to them and yelled \"HEY\" to make them stop. They both looked at me and I asked her \"is this your child?\"\n\nThe woman glared at me and said no, she's watching him. I ignored her and asked the child \"do you know this woman?\" He looked nervous and said \"yeah\" which made me more suspicious. She took his hand and kept walking and I followed them out to the parking lot. I yelled out to her \"if you try to leave I'll call the fucking cops on you.\"\n\nShe got on her phone and she yelled back to me that she was calling the mother's child to pick up her kid and give her a ride back to her own home. About 10 minutes of waiting, another white women pulled up into the lot and they both glared at me (She had told the mother what was going on during the phone call).\n\nI realize they probably think I am racist, but I didn't want the child to risk being harmed. ######","completion":" YTA!!!!

{"prompt":"I’ll try to keep this short. I got my dog as a birthday gift when I was 16 (23 now) and I love her. She slept with me every night, followed me everywhere, and only really paid attention to me. She is constantly right underneath me, but that’s what I love about her.\n\nMy boyfriend never really liked animals and being that she didn’t pay any attention to him, he was fine coexisting with her. When I would go home to visit my parents, he would occasionally stay behind and watch her for me. I started noticing that my dog spent less time following me around and would split her time between both my boyfriend and I, which was perfectly fine. He would take her on runs, they’d go to the park, and he would even let her ride in the car when he was going out for quick errands. \n\nThe problem started when he would skip out on little things to spend more time with my dog. We live together so I see him all the time, however if I wanted to watch a movie or play a game he would rather chill on the couch with my dog or take her for a run. I started getting really annoyed, because it felt like he’d rather spend time with her over me and when I asked him about it he said she was just growing on him. \n\nI visited my parents about a week ago and took my dog with me, asking if they could watch her for a while and they agreed. When my boyfriend found out, he got upset and said that I was overreacting and called me weird for thinking he was choosing a dog over me. I feel bad, and it’s resulted in us spending even less time together.

She’s in a good job as she has her own business but it concerns me. She seems to distract him a lot, but my son claims she massively motivates him and tells him to get his work done, especially at the moment whilst they’re long distance. \n\nYesterday my husband came downstairs and told me he could hear our son on the phone to his girlfriend. They call at least twice a day, for at least an hour each time. I went upstairs and asked him if he was talking to her and he said they had just finished. I told him I didn’t think they would last to the end of lockdown and that maybe he should consider just being friends with her at the minute so he can focus properly. I don’t disapprove of her, but in all honesty she isn’t what I planned for my son. She seems like a lovely girl but her lack of education does worry me. \n\nMy son has been furious with me as he told his girlfriend what I said and it really upset her.

{"prompt":"I 23M have been living in a condominium building since January.  When I first moved into this building this tall beautiful woman caught my eye who lived on my floor.  We would usually get on the elevator together in the morning when we were heading to work. I introduced myself to her as her as we were waiting for the elevator months ago and we have been acquaintances since.  Due to a lot of people working from home these days I stopped seeing her, until last night where I saw her in our mailbox room.  I decided to catch up with her to see how she's doing. \n\nShe said she was bored and lonely. I decided to take this a sign and I told her she could come spend some time at my place whenever if she's ever gets too lonely.  She then said \"That sounds lovely. I'll grab your number if you want, but first I have to tell you that I'm actually a trans woman. Is that okay?\"  I was a little startled and almost jumped back because she didn't  look like a trans woman.  I responded \"Oh. I'm actually straight so I don't think it would work out.\" She got defensive and said \"That doesn't make you gay because I'm a woman.\"  I replied saying  I prefer women who are biological.  She started getting aggressive in our mailroom and said how I should accept her for who she is and that i'm transphobic and an asshole. \n\nAITA? ######","completion":" YTA:\nNOT because you don't want to date a trans woman. You aren't obligated to date anyone you aren't comfortable with. You are not in the wrong for basically not wanting to hook up with someone\n\nThe reason you are in the wrong is because of your disgustingly ignorant language and feelings. You're still straight and it is not gay to date trans women because she is, in fact, a woman. You were attracted to her because she is a woman but it's okay to be unsure about dating a trans woman.\n\nBut saying \"she didn't look like a trans woman\" is gross. There is no one way a trans woman can look, as there is no one way a cis (non-trans) woman can look. You can't tell who is or isn't a trans woman in the world, because women, trans or cis, come in all shapes and sizes and trying to look at stereotypes only harms everyone.\nShe was very open to you about her being trans, knowing that is a dealbreaker for a lot of people, and you kinda showed her that you maybe aren't the best person to be around right now.\n\nDo I think you're a horrible horrible transphobe who cannot be redeemed? Hell no! I'm just seeing a lot of ignorance a lot of cis guys have when it comes to trans women. Just remember:\n\n• there is no such thing as \"looking trans\" because it's all based on stereotypes that are harmful to everyone. Even something as big as having a beard is something non-trans women can have.\n\n• you are not obligated to date anyone, so you are not in the wrong for saying no. That is not the issue here.\n\n• the focus on \"biological women\" is a very... iffy concept and is not only a very rude thing to say that hints at (even unintentionally) saying she's not a real woman, but is just a weird phrase to say.\n\nOp, I suggest maybe apologizing for what you said and asking her a bit about trans women so you know how to politely turn a trans girl down without saying some very offensive and rude things that basically all scream \"I think you're a man\" which is a very hurtful thing to say to someone who puts their life on the line to be who they want to be in life.\n\nBest of luck to you and I hope you use this experience as a learning experience to not be so harsh and rude to people you don't quite understand! ######"}

I made some food for me and my mother and we went to a park and we spent some time together there and then we went to her house (my childhood home)so we could talk and go through our old photo albums that I keep there. I don’t have my old pics at my house because some pics are embarrassing and personal and my wife doesn’t need to see them. Then we watched a movie and then I went back to my marital home. Today my wife is mad at me that I didn’t get her anything and didn’t do anything for her on Mother’s Day but I don’t agree with that because Mother’s Day means showing appreciation to your mother, not your wife and I did do something for her. My boys are independent and can look after themselves. I made sure to make food for them so they could eat whenever they want and I put the food on the table so they could serve themselves so that my wife won’t have to do it and I specifically told them not to bother my wife because their mother needs a break.

I also felt like she wasn’t fully addressing my feelings and concerns. It got so frustrating that I decided to be upfront about it and tell her about my suspicions. When I confronted her about it, she got pissed at me saying she was joking with me because the comments were so unfounded and ridiculous to her. She did not provide an explanation for the behavior that made me suspicious beyond that it’s “totally normal\" and that me thinking it's suspicious doesn't mean it is suspicious. So I asked to see her texts and other things on her phone to prove she wasn’t cheating. She responded with “How dare you ask to see my texts” and that she is not sacrificing her privacy to satisfy my “unfounded” suspicions. If she wasn’t cheating on me, she’d prove it.

He only started to seriously date because his kids were older and he had more time. He was in one LTR that ended badly and then he started dating \"Melissa.\" I was very suspect about her. Just like how my brother plays up the knight in shining armor, she played up the damsel in distress looking for her prince who would basically take care of her financially.\n\nLong story short, they married two years ago. His kids do not view her as anything more than dad's wife. There is no parent-child bond. In fact, they have nothing in common with her. They don't like, but don't dislike each other. She's not particularly invested in them. \n\nLately, she's been bragging and complaining about being a \"mom.\" The way she talks, you think she's talking about her own kids, but she has none of her own. She's talking about my niece and nephew. Often her brags and complaints are embellished as most parental brags and complaints are. Not too long ago, she was talking about how she feels like she's \"failing my kids\" in a lame \"woe-is-Mom-ME\" move. I couldn't take her and told her she wasn't a mother and no one seriously saw her as one either. I also told her that no one believes the marriage is going to last anyways and no one is even going to remember her.\n\nAnd I am the nice brother! ######","completion":" YTA, your brother should be the one having that discussion. ######"}

She came in a few minutes and told me it looked amazing, and that I should sell it. She then got up to make some coffee and I decided to add some final touches and stuff.\n\nSo then when I was doing it, my g.f comes in, with the hot coffee, and...\n\n*Spills it all over my painting.* \n\nShe immediately started saying sorry while saying she'll pay for a new canvas, new supplies, and other things.\n\nI got really mad, and started yelling at her for being clumsy, and told her she couldn't repay me hours of my time and effort, that maybe she should watch where she's going before she ruins something else. And then we didn't really talk, and I came back to a ruined dry, messy canvas. \n\nI went to sleep, and in the morning woke up to her making breakfast and apologizing. The house was all clean, and she made my favorite cake and stuff.  I forgived her, tho I'm still a little mad over it. But I feel a little guilty... \n\nSo aita for yelling at her reddit? ######","completion":" YTA, though I understand when you pour time and effort into your craft, having someone ruin it (even unintentionally), elicits an immediate, emotional response. My AH verdict lies in my perception that you shamed her for a mistake she immediately regretted, then went on to shame her for a thing she can't control (her clumsiness), then felt after all her efforts to make it up to you, you, \"forgave,\" her, but don't indicate you offered her anything in return for your outburst.\n\nThere's an actual neurological condition called dyspraxia.

I don’t want her hair to ever be cut (or at least for a while) and I rather not allow it but she’s always bringing it up and has even argued once and asked why I get to get my hair cut but not her, but that reason is because my hair needs to be cut because it’s not as healthy as hers since she’s young and I’m an older woman.

She has a couple of different gods and religious symbols from different religions as the focus.\n\nShe has the altar all lit up tonight, and it looks really cool, so I snapped a few pictures of it and posted them on my Instagram. \n\nShe saw the pictures and came to me yelling and upset. She wanted me to take the pictures down. She wasn’t nice about it at all. She demanded that I take them down, rather than asking. She offered no explanation as to why I can’t post a picture of something in my house. \n\nI told her that technically her “altar” is a public space and if she doesn’t want anyone to see it she should put it inside the room that she actually pays for. It’s mostly decoration anyway. Also if she wants me to take pictures down she can approach me appropriately. \n\nShe is not calming down though, so I’m wondering if this is really a big deal.

Second one is 21 and in her last year of college. \n\nMy first daughter, who we'll call A, went to a state school and commuted from home and so her college tuition wasn't too hard on me, and she has no debts. Since she lives at home for free she's been able to save a lot of money. She helps here and there with groceries and such, but not nearly enough. My younger daughter, \"D\", chose to go to a private university out of state that's very costly, but I wanted her to have the full college experience and enjoy herself. However it's become very expensive for me to keep up with her tuition, rent, and sorority payments. The beginning of last semester I was about $12,000 short.\n\nI asked A in September if I cold borrow $12,000 for her sister's tuition, promising that I would pay her back within the month. She didn't react well and said no, saying that she was uncomfortable with that and why couldn't her sister just take out a loan? But I don't want that, as D isn't very responsible with money and I don't want her to have that on her plate. As a result, I had to do a ton of extra work and dip into my stocks to pay off the tuition. I'm still pretty upset that A wouldn't loan me the money. We're family, does she not trust me?

{"prompt":"So in February my sister (12f) confided in me (21f) that she had started her period. Our mom died about four years ago so she didn’t feel comfortable telling our dad just yet. I told him and he had a conversation with her about it. I wanted to make her more comfortable with the whole concept of her starting puberty and stuff so I decided I would throw her a surprise period party. My intention wasn’t necessarily to embarrass her, like it’s my job as her older sister to humiliate her but I mainly just wanted to make her more comfortable. \n\nI went all out. I got balloons printed, banners printed, made a cake with a pool of red icing and a barbie sitting in it, and I invited all her friends. My dad knew of the party and didn’t approve of the idea, but let me do it as he thought I knew what was best. He took my sister out shopping in the morning whilst we were preparing and then we could surprise her. A few of our family members were there too. \n\nShe came home and I was expecting her to find it hysterical. All her friends were saying they wish someone had done it for them and thought she’d find it funny. The second she walks through the door and realises what’s going on she starts crying and runs upstairs to her room, apparently absolutely mortified. I went upstairs to talk to her and she said I had completely humiliated her and that she didn’t want such personal business being spread around by me. She hadn’t told her friends she’d started her period yet. I apologised but told her I thought she’d like it and she told me to get the fuck out of her room. \n\nI spoke to my dad after and we decided that I’d go stay with one of my friends until my sister had calmed down because she was being so over dramatic.

We paid in full for the two nights upfront and they have a zero refund cancellation policy, however, if you cancel in time they will issue a credit to be used at a later date. Now, due to covid the reservation was canceled, and we were issued a credit. When we reached out to book at a later date during the summer they are charging us more since it is high season, and when we asked about our options for booking at the original rate they told us to book during the week or later in the year (November through March, not on a holiday). We feel our money is now being held hostage and we either have to pay more or book at a bad time so I called and disputed the charge with our credit card. We normally wouldn't try to get the money back but because of covid we don't know what the future will hold and we don't know if the credit would even cover a trip in the future due to their policies.

Since she is a party girl who’s rarely at the apt at night and I had classes we rarely saw each other until now because we are stuck here.\n\nThis girl has some weird food habits. She peels hotdogs. She won’t let food touch on her plate and eats all of one thing, then all of the next. She acually won’t eat rice or beans because she can’t eat the grains one by one. She disassembles the pizza, eats the condiments separately and disposes of the tomato sauce and bread part... and many more. I used to think it was funny.\n\nTwo days ago I made spaghetti for dinner. She told me that she won’t eat pasta with any kind of sauce and that even the smell of tomato sauce made her sick so I cooked the sad, sauceless spaghetti the way she liked and put the sauce on the side. At dinner, she started picking the ”pieces” of the spaghetti and eating them one by one. With her hands.\n\nI asked her what the hell she was doing and she became defensive. She told me she always washes her hands before eating so I told her it’s still gross and that I don’t want to see this and that either she leaves the table or I do. She left and locked herself in her room. My friend then told me that was not nice and we talked about it during dinner. I don’t think I’m wrong, but since she isn’t very good at dealing with her feelings, I figured I should apologize and suck it up. \n\nYesterday I tried to apologize to her but she’s ignoring me.

Our dad is kind of a deadbeat, so we just have our mother, who is 51.\n\nOur mother really really wants grandchildren. She loved being a mother, she misses having little kids around. All her friends and colleagues are becoming grandparents right now and it's making it even worse for her.\n\nHere is the thing. I want children as well, unfortunately I am infertile. It is extremely hard for me and my husband. We can't afford alternative ways of conceiving. My husband doesn't want to adopt, and I'm not too sure about it myself anyway. So we have to live with the grief of being forcibly childless. I know learning it was extremely hard on my mother. Of course she was sad for me, but she was also sad fpr herself. But there was still my little sister left.\n\nMy little sister has often said she didn't want children but in all honesty, she is 22. And she started saying it as a teenager because she knew it pissed off our mother. \nA week ago, she confided to me that she got sterilized a few months ago. I honestly had no idea someone would ever be willing to sterilize someone so young, it's crazy to think about. She said she doesn't know yet when\/if she'll tell our mother, because she knows it will be a mess. Honestly...If you aren't ready to tell your own mother, then you aren't ready for sterilization, but whatever it's too late anyway.\n\nI think it is unfair to keep our mother hanging and hoping like that. Especially since my little sister met her boyfriend, our mother has been very hopeful. Of course she wants her to finish her studies, but she thinks grandchildren are definitely in her future.

It was really fun, so I wanted to go again. But, like I said, that’s obviously out of the picture. \n\nI told my mom a while back, that for my birthday, from all my family, I only wanted one of two things. \nEither a cat, or a dirt bike. \nI specifically told her if I got a cat, I’d pay adoption fees, I’d take care of it, and id pay for its food. \nAnd if I got a dirt bike, it didn’t have to be expensive. It could be a used one that’s seconds from falling apart, as long as it worked. \n\nWell, it was a no to both. \nShe keeps telling me that if I don’t make up my mind for other birthday ideas, I’ll get nothing. \nEvery time I show mild interest in something, she pretends like I worship and want twenty of them. \nShe finds every chance she can to push the cat or dirt bike topics out of the picture. \n\nShe keeps suggesting I ask for a game, or gaming console, but I don’t want something that will stop me from going outside. \n\nTL:DR; Mom won’t get me one of the two presents I want despite the fact I said I’d help pay for most of them even though they aren’t that expensive in the first place. ######","completion":" YTA, I'm sorry. I remember being a teenager that just wanted to enjoy life and have the means of doing it, but it's bigger than your mom not getting you what you asked for. The cat becomes a presence in her home, and she has to smell the litterbox, engage with your cat, potentially deal with veterinarian things in the future, and so on. The dirtbike could be a safety thing, and she also has to transport you wherever you want to ride your dirtbike, store it, and so on. \n\nYou're asking for things that change your mom's life, too. Parents' rules don't always make sense to a teen, and it feels stifling to have any rules when you're getting ready to be an adult.

A guy who I'd never met before started hitting on me in a pretty gross way, and I told him I wasn't interested, but he didn't let up. I don't think Jane heard any of this going on because it was so loud in there. I then told the man that I was here with someone, and he said \"well I don't see him,\" as if he didn't believe me, and Brad showed no signs of coming back any time soon, so in a moment of desperation I grabbed Jane around the waist and kinda hauled her onto my lap and said \"this is my girlfriend.\"\n\nThe guy finally backed off then, but Jane was really pissed with me because I'd grabbed her and pretended to be her girlfriend without asking her first if it was OK. I told her that it was my last resort and I didn't know what else to do, and she tentatively forgave me, but then yesterday we were all having a Zoom group chat for another friend's birthday and Jane wasn't there. I offhandedly asked someone why Jane hadn't turned up, and someone said that she still felt weird around me after \"the girlfriend thing.\" Apparently she still felt super uncomfortable about me grabbing her like I had. AITA here? I really didn't see that I had any other choice but as a woman I can also appreciate that it was maybe scary for her to just be grabbed in a club. ######","completion":" YTA, I'm sorry. Don't understand all these N.T.A., to be honest. Am I the only one who read that you grabbed her and threw her in your lap?\n\nI think just **saying** that Jane was your girlfriend in a moment of desperation is OK, but why did you have to physically force her into a pose of intimacy? I don't know what kind of relationship you two have, some female friends can be pretty touchy-feely with one another without any sexual undertones, but if Jane felt uncomfortable, I don't think that's the kind of rapport you had pre-established. Pretty ironic that you felt encroached upon by someone and then did the same thing to Jane.\n\nApart from all of this, I do want to give you some important life advice: don't say you're a lesbian to get rid of an insistent guy. You were lucky this time, but I can tell you from experience that it almost never works. In the best case scenario, the guy just gets more turned on, or feels like you're offering him a challenge. Worst case scenario, he could get violent. This situation could have become dangerous very quickly. ######"}

It’s been impressed upon each generation how “important” all of these pieces are. Furniture, jewelry, even the names. This brings us to the issue at hand, my great great grandmothers engagement ring. \n\nI am the only girl in my generation and before my grandmother passed she said it would come to me and would only be given to me once I had graduated college. I was never allowed to see the ring, but everyone in the family would talk about it. The rarity of the cut the clarity of the diamond. I spent years dreaming of this ring, I was in high school when she died. \n\nSo when my graduation was coming up my parents had it appraised and insured. They called to tell me the price so I would understand the importance of it. This is where the issue might have occurred. They tell me the number and it was much lower than I had expected, under $10,000, which is expensive but I responded with “wait... that’s it?” They asked what I meant, and said “I thought it would have been worth way more”, they scoffed and said “Well! Sorry it wasn’t up to your taste queen!”\n\nThey got really angry and said I was an ungrateful child and had no sense of value. They “gave” me the ring for graduation in front of the family but then took it back for years saying since I didn’t appreciate it they would keep it. I have it now but not without a lecture of its value and how I still don’t appreciate it. I felt bad because it is a beautiful ring and I would never sell it, but I just felt so underwhelmed.

I think there is a question of etiquette here. The rules about what people should say when aren't just about what's true and how people feel, but what impact the rules themselves have on conversations. For example, why do many people have rules against discussing religion? Religion is important to people, questions of how the world is can be genuinely interesting to discuss... Why not discuss it? The answer is that religion is one of those subjects where people have very strong feelings, that tie into their identity and self-concept as good people, and where it is very hard for people who disagree to come to an agreement. So any conversation about religion risks invoking strong feelings, making people feel attacked to their deepest selves, with no resolution. Which means that if you have a conversation and religion is OK to be brought up, you need to be on your guard for the conversation turning contentious. But sometimes you don't want to have to be on your guard, you don't want to have to argue with people you otherwise like and get along with, you don't want to risk things getting so contentious that it risks the relationship; you want to stack the deck in favor of the conversation being positive and comfortable and relationship-building instead of -destroying. So you make a rule that you won't discuss religion.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nIn this case by attacking your SIL over her \"I'm so stressed\" comment you were making a rule in family conversations that if you comment on your difficulties, you might be attacked for it. That's not something most people want in conversations with their loved ones, and that's why there's usually a default setting of being supportive to people sharing their difficulties, even if you personally have negative thoughts about them. And this goes further, because I think you would generally agree with this default setting. I think you broke this rule with your SIL specifically because you don't acknowledge her as part of the family, as a \"loved one\" who is entitled to the comfort and freedom of being able to vent around you. And I think that's something you have to examine, and that's where your parents being \"we kind of agree but you were out of line\" goes, because you are clearly the only one who sees your SIL like that. Your brother sees her as his wife and loved one. Your parents have concerns about her, but accept her as your brother's wife and as deserving of consideration as a family member. So you really have a choice of getting with the program, which will help maintain a good relationship with your brother and the rest of the family, or continuing to dissent with the family consensus on what the family is, which might not end up in a way you like. Because it sure doesn't sound like your brother is leaving her any time soon.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nETA: aww, you guys like me! :) (that's right, \"me\", not \"this comment\", I know you are all validating me personally and I love you for it and will not hear otherwise) <3 to you all \\^\\^ ######"}

Wth, the game pushes you to to find different ways to complete the main campaign that adds to your skill and sometimes the storyline. Those achievements means you’ve completed everything that game has to offer in its experience and if you don’t get those achievements you’re missing out on it. I NEVER say I finished a game unless that includes, for me trophies, because only then can I say I can’t do anymore therefore done.

I would go visit Gabriela sometimes when coming back from college but me and her mom didn't get along so we just kinda fell out of touch. \n\nA couple years after college I was living in San Diego and met a girl and got married. My wife and I moved back to Arizona and settled down: job\/house\/kids.

We're good now, she's a good kid.\n\nGabriela is getting married next year and asked me to walk her down the aisle. But my other two daughters and wife are against it.  My wife is real old school and said it would hurt her to see me walking another woman's daughter down the aisle.

Nothing bad will happen if you do. 2) Of course you have to go off of what she says, it is her pain not yours.\n\nAnyway, this is established; you know that she has debilitating pain while on her period. She didn't choose this pain, but she has to put up with it. Most people who love their partners would try to understand that and do whatever they could to make their partner's life easier.\n\n> She promised the children as soon as the paddling pool arrived, on the day we would put it up and she would spend all day outside with ALL of the children since we have been busy.\n\n> Paddling pool arrived today and so did her time of the month early last night.\n\nWell as soon as it arrived early you should have realised she would likely have ended up bedridden again.\n\n> Children have been begging to play outside, with her.\n\nThis would have been a great time to explain that mummy doesn't feel well, and to teach your kids patience and compassion (at the very least your older ones should understand that sometimes people feel unwell).\n\n> I asked her if she wanted painkillers and when she is getting up, she said she didnt and isnt.\n\nThis is in keeping with prior form, not certain why you'd be surprised.\n\n> Day progressed and children got more and more whiny and she refused to deal with it while I was in a meeting.\n\nThis is where I have one iota of sympathy for you; obviously you had work constraints and trying to manage children while your partner is unwell is difficult. But there are plenty of people working from home and tending to their children right now; your situation is far from unique.\n\n> I may have snapped when I got a small break, I told her to either explain or take a painkiller and stop feeling so d-mn sorry for herself.\n\nYou \"may\" have snapped? Son, experience on this sub tells me that when someone concedes a small amount of misbehaviour, it means they probably did something way worse. Why couldn't you explain to your kids that she was ill? Like I suggested previously? And she has every right to feel sorry for herself, **she's in debilitating pain**. *You* should feel sorry for her too.\n\n> She got all teary eyed and basically screamed at me that I'm an insensitive ass, got up and played with them for the day (extremely annoyed and snappy though, not towards the children)\n\nYeah, she called it. You're an ass. And an asshole. And I fully support her being annoyed and snappy with you.

I guess this all happened two years ago but it is just coming to light.\n\nSo my parents had an arranged marriage, but most people are surprised to learn that because they did fall genuinely in love. I guess when I was engaged my mom told my wife about her arranged marriage. My wife asked my mom some questions about how it worked and my mom convinced my wife that her father sold her to my father for $300.

I contacted the owner again and asked her to keep the cat inside. The owner responded that her husband died about a month ago, she's trying to take of her 3 kids during this lockdown, and that Bertha is an indoor outdoor cat. I understand that this must be a hard time for the owner, and I'm giving them slack for not knowing the cat was missing for a month, but at this point they're neglecting her to the point that she doesnt want to go back to them. She's also been reported at all my other neighbor's houses too.\n\nAITA for coming to the conclusion that I have to send the cat to a shelter? I would never want to hurt her, but she's being neglected, and she could possibly be a transmitter of the coronavirus if shes bouncing from house to house all over our neighborhood. ######","completion":" YTA- the cat hasn't been missing for a month guys, the ladies husband died a month ago and she's been struggling since.

I gave her way more slack than I would normally give anyone, but at the end she ended up owing almost $8000 in rent and I had to evict her and her family. It obviously destroyed the relationship, hurt my business and I was vilified to mutual friends. Since then, I have never done it again. \n\nThe issue is that it is a very tight rental market, our city has a shortage of rentals and we often receive 50+ applications for a 2 bedroom apartment. A few times over the years, I’ve been approached by friends who need a rental, people who are qualified, have good jobs and great history with other landlords in the city, people I would have happily rented to if they weren’t my friends\/family. AITA for not renting to them just because I know them? I feel like I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. I just value my relationships and this dynamic (them owing me $1000+ a month\/calling me to chat oh and also their faucet is leaking) would almost certainly change things between us. Let me have it, AITA??? ######","completion":" YTA-  It was reasonable until you mentioned you own 60% of the local rentals and are continuing to grow.  It seems like you are turning away people with nowhere else to go.  I would also point out people who so easily turn their backs on friends, or worse family in need tend to be less like-able then they believe they are.  You may realize you don’t actually have any friends, just people who treat you better than you probably deserve. ######"}

He threatened to kick me off the family music account (I don't really care about that because I can literally get it on spotify free) and to not let me drive the family car (which is what I take to get to work).

{"prompt":"My gf has recently got very into skincare stuff. She suffered from pretty bad acne until last year when she went on acutane and it cleared it up. Since then she's been excited about being able to try different products and stuff. \n\nOne of her recent favorite products is this moisturizer which has snail slime in it. I find that honestly disgusting. She says it works really well for her skin which is a lot dryer than it used to be because of the acutane but I just do not get why you'd want to smear snail slime on your face. There's plenty of moisturizers that don't have actual snail in them. I absolutely cannot fucking stand the thought of kissing her on the cheek and kissing snail.\n\nSo I did some research and a couple weeks ago I found another moisturizer (it took ages, I had no idea there were seven million moisturizers) which has similar positive reviews to the one she uses, but without snail slime. It was expensive too, probably more than her snail one. I checked the ingredients and there's nothing in there that she's allergic to so I bought it. When she was out, I scooped out the snail cream from the pot and replaced it with the stuff I'd bought. I didn't throw away the snail cream but I decanted it into another container because I didn't want to throw away her stuff.\n\nShe used the new cream which she thought was snail cream for a few weeks with no issue. Then she found the jar of her actual snail stuff a couple days ago and asked me what it was and I came clean. I told her that the thought of her smearing snail on her face made me gag so I found a really good new one for her. I told her I hadn't told her because I wanted her to see that it worked just as well and she wouldn't give it a fair shot if I just asked her to use a different one. She hit the roof and accused me of tampering with her stuff. Ngl I'm still pretty sure I wasn't that out of order because I picked a great new moisturizer but she's still mad at me so I'll ask the hive mind AITA. ######","completion":" YTA You deceived her and lied to her, all without giving her the chance to make the decision of changing  moisturizer of her own will.\n\nYou should have just spoken to her, told her how you feel and take it from there.

See if your landlord has violated the contract. Check your local laws for your rights. Take steps to avoid interactions with him.

Picked her up and we headed the restaurant.\n\nWe get there, she says \"STK huh\", I said \"yeah, have you ever been here\", she responded with \"nope\" told her she in for suprise. We walk up and get seated, I can tell shes impressed by the environment of the place. We get handed our menus, she looks at up at me almost immediately. Didn't even say say anything to me just looked at me. Face of shock. After looking at the menu for the couple's of minutes, she asked on how much we exactly plan on spending. Told her I'm going to get a steak, so I have no idea. \n\nStaters alone are $20 then entrees vary from $40 to $50. I ended up spending $110 that night, she spent $60. We had good conversations throughout dinner but when it was over she told me I wish I told her exactly how expensive it was before.

{"prompt":"My girlfriend (24F) and I (35M) have been together for almost a year. She comes from a wealthy family. They own several houses and buy my gf everything she wants whenever she wants it. They’re good people, but I think they need to treat her like a woman instead of a child. I worked hard for everything I have, which isn’t much, so it frustrates me to watch her coast through life. They pay all of her bills, including putting her through medical school. All she has to pay for herself are her luxuries, so she is able to build up her savings much more than I am. Who the hell is able to save up while they’re in medical school? Well anyone can become a doctor with the endless opportunities that she has. \n\nSo yesterday my girlfriend and I got into a very heated argument. She told me her new laptop had finally come. I asked her what laptop. She said her old one broke a few days ago so she ordered a new one. She got a top of the line MacBook, way more bells and whistles than what she needs. I asked how she paid for it but I knew the answer, her parents bought it. So here’s where I might be the asshole. I was really mad knowing they probably spent 3 months of what could be someone’s rent on a computer that she *doesn’t need*. I finally just asked her if she’s embarrassed that everything she has in life has been handed to her. Naturally she got defensive and we started arguing. After a while I calmly said I think she’s a spoiled brat and her parents are doing a disservice to her. She called me a string of obscenities in return before hanging up on me. We haven’t talked since.\n\nI get that I was harsh on her but I really don’t think I was wrong. She’s an adult who has no concept of what the real world is like.

One of the presents I got her was a silver necklace from a game that I really enjoyed as a child and consider one of my favourite games. The publisher released it with a cubic zirconium piece so I had a jeweller remove it and replace it with a small diamond. All in all it cost me a pretty penny.\n\nMy GF loved it when I gave it to her and kept saying how happy she was with it, she'd wear it almost every day. When she was out with her friends one of them remarked \"Oh, is that so and so's necklace from that game?\". She Googled it and saw it was the same and blew up on me.\n\nI explained what I'd done and how it was set with a diamond now but she was livid that I gave her \"your gaming shit\" and she now refuses to wear it and said I could do with it what I want.\n\nEdit: This, [FF7, Aerith's necklace](https:\/\/store.na.square-enix-games.com\/en_US\/product\/597038\/final-fantasy-vii-silver-necklace-aerith-ribbon-ver-jewelry), is what I got her.

My GF loves it when I toss her around but as of late she's started to get annoyed that I'm touching other people. \n\nI was at the park with a few friends and throwing people around which included seeing if 3 people could stand on my shoulders and back.

I was happy to oblige and always made sure I grabbed her by the waist or bridal style. \n\nWe get drunker and suddenly she wants me to grab her in other places to lift her and wants me to grab her by the neck. I jokingly say \"I'll probably end up choking you\" and she replies she'd like that, I realise it's going too far and stop there. My GF wasn't happy as you can imagine.\n\nOn the way home we get into an argument and she says I shouldn't be touching any one else apart from her and I'm causing drama in the group.

{"prompt":"I have four kids in total. Two girls, ages 15 and 21. As well as two boys, ages 17 and 19. All four play sports. Both of my sons are basketball players, and received full ride college scholarship offers in their 10th grade years. In both instances as a reward, their mother and I bought them a car at either Christmas or their birthday as a reward for their outstanding accomplishments. My daughter's 16th birthday is coming up next month and she asked if she could get a car for either her birthday or Christmas, because her two older brothers did. I told her no, because those weren't simple gifts for no reason and they were rewards that they earned. \n\nShe immediately starts to lose her composure and complains that its unfair that we buy her brothers whatever they want but her and her older sister never got treated like that, then proclaimed we are being sexist and always show preferential treatment to the boys. I immediately shut down such preposterous claims and exclaim that they didn't get vehicles for being born with a penis, they got them as a reward for getting a scholarship and that if they didn't, they wouldn't have gotten it. I also told her if she gets one that I'd buy her one too. She then tells me she thinks, that I think they're better than her just because she hasn't gotten a scholarship yet, and cries off.\n\nI then get a call about 2 hours later from my oldest cursing me out for making her cry like that. Saying I made her feel inferior to her siblings and I should've been more considerate.

It is NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE to get a full ride scholarship for sports being a female. Universities do not put their money into womens sports. When I was applying for schools every school I spoke with said the max I could get for a soccer scholarship was 60% (guys could get 100%) Your daughters are at a disadvantage from the start with this. I believe though that you're missing her point. I dont think you're the asshole for not just handing her a car. But I think YTA because she clearly feels as if you favor your son's more than her. (Your oldest daughter might feel the same). I think that you need to have a conversation with your daughter because she clearly feels inferior to your son's. I also think you should tell her or help her earn academic scholarships and yell her once you know her college is taken care that you'll buy her a car as well. Or maybe tell her to do some sort of other work for the car. I dont think you're a huge asshole I just think that maybe you dont understand womens scholarships for sports DO NOT work the same as men's. It sucks but it is what it is. Maybe give her other ways to work for the car. And also I think you need to have a deeper more thoughtful conversation as to why she thinks you love your sons more. Because you could be doing it subconsciously. This isnt just about the car. She needs to feel loved and appreciated. ######"}

One specific date I went on upset a few of my friends and they’ve since started calling me “Uber”. \n\nI invited a gentleman to meet me for a drink. We’d been chatting for a few days and I was jazzed for this one, got a bottle of wine at a bar, some cheese, the whole thing. He arrived and we talked for about an hour. I told him to get all his stuff we were going somewhere else. So I took him outside the restaurant and told him he was a great guy, didn’t do anything wrong, and that I wished him well but I didn’t really feel any attraction towards him. I also told him that this was the best place to get an Uber and that I was going back inside. \n\nA few of my friends think that was harsh and that I should have finished the date and then texted him about it later. Some of my friends appreciated it and said that they would want the same honesty. For the record, he said okay and I never heard from him again.  \n\nI’ve done this with a few dates with minor changes and I think I’m doing the right thing!

They smelled what I'd imagine would smell like dead rats, vomit and beatle juice all at once. PUNGENT. OVERWHELMING. STALE.  It was unbearable.\n\nWhat's worse is noone in our team had the guts to tell her. She was just spoken about behind her back. \"Oh here comes Feetima\" and \"stay 10 FEET away from her\". We'd avoid her like the plague. She would even deter customers from our store. \n\n6 months later, I was set to move overseas and handed in my resignation to my manager. At the same time, I offered to have a word with Fatima about her feet since I was leaving anyway and wouldn't have to deal with the repercussions. My manager was thrilled. \n\nI waited until my last day on the job. I found the opportunity when we were both in the kitchen together alone. I said \"Fatima, I'm going to tell you something that I would want you to tell me if I were in your position. Your feet smell like something died and is decomposing on them. It's so bad that everyone deliberately avoids you and I think you should do something about it\".\n\nShe responded by saying she has a fungas issue and that she can't afford new shoes.

Not like a, \"oh this book is good, its about xyz\".  I'm talking she is trying to tell me about characters and their interactions, why this one character's childhood caused her to go into this certain field etc etc.  Honestly, I don't give a crap about fictional characters in a book that I would never read.  For context, my wife is usually doing this with other things...example, \"You know that girl I used to cheer with, Rebecca?...No?...oh, well her brother got arrested for selling drugs\".  Kind of thing...as in, ok so some stranger I don't know got arrested.  Cool.  \n\nThis is not some big contentious thing in our relationship, just an annoying thing that happens occasionally, but it is what it is.  Maybe it is the quarantine, but instead of just nodding and saying \"ok cool\",  I essentially told her I don't really care to hear about the interworkings of this book.  For the record, I currently feel like an ass, because she got really upset, was crying because I told her I don't care, which I did say that. I don't want to make her sad, nor did I realize it was that important to her.  Ultimately I did apologize, because I upset her, but in terms of my feelings that upset her, I really still..don't give a shit about hearing about this kind of stuff.  When I read a book, I don't tell her anything. I may say, oh that book I just read was good or bad, but that's it, so it it hard for me to even understand why anyone would do that.  So, am I the asholes for not giving two shits about the characters in my wife's fictional book? ######","completion":" YTA not because you don't care (you can't really help that) but because of how you went about communicating it. Also, it's really not that hard to pretend to care. Your wife is excited about something and was loving the book and wanted to share it with you. It seems she is highly bonded with you and wants to share things with you, even if you don't know the people\/characters. To only care to be told about things you know is a little self-centered. If it's really killing you so much to be told extra information then go ahead and have her find someone else to emotionally bond with and share things with. But don't be surprised when that turns into distance from you. ######"}

I went to my mom to tell her what they did and she didn’t even care. She didn’t tell either of them to give me some meat, so I had bean tacos instead. Not terrible but I was kind of mad about the selfishness. \n\nFlash forward to yesterday morning and my mom made eggs and bacon. I got to the kitchen first, followed by older brother, then my little brother about ten minutes later. I took one third of everything that was made, and my older brother took the rest even though he asked me if my little brother had eaten yet and I said no.

I disagreed, and asked her for the full amount as I also need money since I'm saving to move out  sooner than later. I didn't mention the moving out part. That's a sore subject for her. She got upset and started ranting about how unreasonable I'm being and how the money would benefit me anyway once she pays off her debt and how she feeds and houses me and how she bought the bike for me as a gift anyway (6-7 years ago) and how I just horde my money (I don't, it's called savings). I sat silently while she went on for about 5-10 minutes and then she stormed off, got the cash and gave it to me, and is now giving me the cold shoulder. She gave me the full amount for my bike.\n\nMy family is making me feel bad for asking for the money, and I even tried to give her a portion, but she refuses to take it.

I wrapped more bodies for the morgue than I ever have in my 6 years of being a RN.\n\nAfter leaving work around 7:30pm, I drove home. The roads were completely empty right after I got out of the city. I guess I was a little hard on the gas (78 in a 65).

{"prompt":"My gf has recently got very into skincare stuff. She suffered from pretty bad acne until last year when she went on acutane and it cleared it up. Since then she's been excited about being able to try different products and stuff. \n\nOne of her recent favorite products is this moisturizer which has snail slime in it. I find that honestly disgusting. She says it works really well for her skin which is a lot dryer than it used to be because of the acutane but I just do not get why you'd want to smear snail slime on your face. There's plenty of moisturizers that don't have actual snail in them. I absolutely cannot fucking stand the thought of kissing her on the cheek and kissing snail.\n\nSo I did some research and a couple weeks ago I found another moisturizer (it took ages, I had no idea there were seven million moisturizers) which has similar positive reviews to the one she uses, but without snail slime. It was expensive too, probably more than her snail one. I checked the ingredients and there's nothing in there that she's allergic to so I bought it. When she was out, I scooped out the snail cream from the pot and replaced it with the stuff I'd bought. I didn't throw away the snail cream but I decanted it into another container because I didn't want to throw away her stuff.\n\nShe used the new cream which she thought was snail cream for a few weeks with no issue. Then she found the jar of her actual snail stuff a couple days ago and asked me what it was and I came clean. I told her that the thought of her smearing snail on her face made me gag so I found a really good new one for her. I told her I hadn't told her because I wanted her to see that it worked just as well and she wouldn't give it a fair shot if I just asked her to use a different one.

{"prompt":"So yesterday was my husbands 40th birthday. We’re Hispanic and pushing kids faces into the birthday cake is a big tradition. This also extends to adults birthdays, especially milestones. We have three children who are 10, 7, and 5. The 10 year old is very sensitive and caring and it’s been a difficult adjustment for my husband who grew up in a very macho household. He tries. He could be better but I know he tries.  \n\nWell my son hates the cake smashing and used to cry when his father did it to him. I defended my husband at first because it’s a cultural thing but since he’s the kid my husband struggles with the most I eventually put my foot down. I was worried that it was going to cause more resentment. \n\nAnyway the kids wanted to play a prank on their dad so when I bought the stuff for his party I let them get a thing of cheap cupcakes to smash. He was napping by the pool and the kids were getting ready but I told my 10 year old that I think it’s pretty unfair that he’s about to do to his father when he doesn’t let us do it to him. He has so many boundaries and I try to get my husband to respect them but don’t dish it out of you can’t take it.\n\nSo the younger two did their prank and we had people over that evening. Both of our families are loud and kind of obnoxious and I know it’s a lot for my son but this morning he told he he doesn’t feel like he fits in and now I feel like an asshole. ######","completion":" YTA I hate when people blame culture for doing something that is borderline abusive ######"}

{"prompt":"This happened back in Feb but it’s still an issue which she brought up recently. \n\nThe title makes me sound like I’m definitely the asshole, but just let me explain:\n\nSo my (25M) girlfriend (25F) was picking up something at my workplace. This is an office job, but it’s very stressful. Anyway, I went down to the lobby to handoff the thing my girlfriend needed. I went back up right after. \n\nLater that night, my girlfriend was telling me how she went to the bathroom in the lobby, and there was this girl quietly crying. My girlfriend said she stayed for a little bit and comforted her. \n\nNow the reason I am really annoyed by this is because that girl had got into a *huge* argument with out boss (she was clearly in the wrong though). She was acting super arrogant about something and basically got chewed out by our boss. He was seriously pissed. Basically what happened was, our boss asked her to get him a tea bag from our coffee station. She thought she was to good for that (this is something that we all have to do from time to time) and they got into a huge argument. \n\nOur boss just told her to go home for the day, and the other bosses (our boss’s peers) didn’t say anything. \n\nObviously people talk, and pretty much everyone agrees that that girl was in the wrong. Sure none of us *like* having to do that stuff, but it rarely happens. \n\nAnyway so I guess the girl was crying in the lobby and when my girlfriend told me about what happened, I instantly recognized who she was talking about. \n\nI told my girlfriend that I really wish she hadn’t done that because I didn’t want it to somehow seem like I, by relation, was taking sides against my boss, especially considering that this girl was the one who started the whole conflict. \n\nMy girlfriend says that regardless, it’s “empathetic” to still try to comfort her then.

{"prompt":"My girlfriend and I have been together since we were 13 (we’re 20 now), and she’s had her cat for the duration of our relationship. I’m gonna go ahead and say this now: I don’t care for cats since I’m allergic to them and hers was no exception. I’m not really an animal person in general, but if I were to get one it wouldn’t be a cat. They’re disgusting and they creep me out.\n\nMy girlfriend and I moved in together at 18, and I was always under the impression that she would leave the cat with her parents since she knew how much I didn’t like them. Long story short the cat came with her and while I wasn’t thrilled about it, I allowed it to stay under the conditions that it wouldn’t sleep in our bed, it wouldn’t sit on the furniture, and it wouldn’t go into my office space.\n\nOver the course of the last two years, I would come home from work and my girlfriend would be chilling on the couch with the cat after I’d asked her not to. I’d get ready to climb into bed and there’d be cat hair on my sheets so I know she let it into the bedroom. Not to mention, she has what I feel like is an unhealthy obsession with this thing. She’s constantly talking to and cooing at it like it’s a person and it drives me up a wall. For a while, I just slept in my office so I wouldn’t have to deal with an itchy face and puffy eyeballs.\n\nWith us being stuck at home now, it’s even harder for me to have my own space. The straw that broke the camels back was when I went into my office and found her cat sitting in the window. I’ve asked time and time again for her cat to stay out of my space and I feel like she deliberately disrespects my wishes, so I found a walk-in surrender shelter today and dropped the cat off. I haven’t told my girlfriend, and being that it’s an indoor\/outdoor cat I hope she just thinks it ran away.

We found out about her when I was 10 because her mom died and there was no one to care for her, so the government came looking for my dad. He wanted to put her up for adoption, but my aunt and uncle volunteered to take her in. He was supposed to pay them child support, but he never did. He only paid child support to my mom after she divorced him.\n\nMy mother died when I was 19, and my father when I was 21. He didn't have much in terms of assets after he died, but he did have a life insurance policy in my name that only I was supposed to know about. He got it after I turned 18 because he wanted to make sure to leave something behind for me. I used the money to pay for my dream wedding and buy our first house, and then I used the rest to make a few investments, one of which paid off better than I could ever have hoped. I now own three rental properties and run a doggie daycare. I'm very lucky.\n\nAva, however, not so much. My aunt and uncle did their best to make us friends, but we never got along because she was always jealous of me and would call me spoiled. The last time I talked to her was at my wedding.

You got enough money for a dream wedding, a house, and further investments. Yeah, no wonder you're in a better financial position than her. \nYou say you think that she's 'greedy'? Of all the things you could say about her, you choose greedy? She's not asking for a gift, and she's not even asking for herself.

We went to the same high school, but we weren’t really acquainted for reasons I’ll explain further down. \n\nWe were on video chat last night, and he made a remark about how he was bullied in high school for his lazy eye. It’s true that he has a lady eye, but it’s no big deal and not why he was bullied. I pointed this out to him. \n\nIn high school, my bf was a horrible neckbeard. He was overweight, had a horrible patchy moustache, and wore cartoon shirts all the time. He even had one of those —and I’m not joking — “orgasm donor” novelty tee shirts. He wrote a poem about a girl in our class and sharpied it onto the wall of the boys bathroom. He put in lots of identifying info, so it was easy for people to narrow it down who wrote it. Once he got over the poem girl, he asked a teacher out on a date, and the teacher had to tell him he was being inappropriate. Also, this teacher was a lesbian and dressed in butch style. He was just too oblivious to notice. \n\nAnyway, I laid those facts out and he got angry. He said I was blaming the victim, and that the bullying wrecked his self worth. The bullying wasn’t serious, it was just people making fun of him on Snap and stuff. I said he should be proud of losing weight and learning to dress and talk to girls. In college he’s a totally different person, and I would never have matched with him otherwise. \n\nHe said he’d think about what I said, but we haven’t talked since. I’m worried I was harsh.

So I thought I would do a favor for her and her daughter Bethany by purchasing an iPhone 10 for her.  It's not the latest model but she still appreciated it. \n\nOn Saturday it was her birthday and she had a drive-by type party. I had wrapped her gift and attached a birthday card to it, and handed it to her out of the window. We went home and about 3ish hours later my sister calls me and chews me out about giving her daughter the gift, saying I was trying to \"one-up\" her and that I was being \"insensitive\" about their situation. In my eyes I was just doing a nice thing for my sisters and niece. AITA? ######","completion":" YTA for not asking first. There are a lot of ways a gift like this can go wrong, whether it's the mom feeling one-upped or like her child will be given expectations she can't fulfill, or the financial implications for phone plans and data usage, or the question of whether the mom wants her child to have continual access to every distraction and hazard on the Internet. I'm not saying that a 14-year-old shouldn't have a phone, but that's something that parents can legitimately have concerns about, both in general and for a specific kid for specific reasons. I don't think a phone is in a \"never give as a present\" category, but I think it's definitely in a \"talk with the parents first\" category. ######"}

He agreed. \n\nThis morning when he was at work I sent him a facebook post of the bakery showing their menus, address and current working hours without saying much. He replied 'okay i'll get some' and then after a few minutes followed with 'that's it? You just threw out a link without saying anything?'. I was confused and said that I already told him about it last night and he was like 'For real? Not even a thank-you?'. I was so confused saying that he hasn't even gotten me those cakes yet and that it's weird to ASK for a thank-you like this. I have bought and made him stuff without expecting or asking him to show a ton of gratitude. But he is unswayed, saying that a 'thank-you' is minimum mannerism and I should have said that instead of just 'throwing' a link at him. I told him I don't want those cakes anymore.\n\nI think this is too petty for him to get upset about.

One time she suggested taking martial arts classes together and I told her we should try kickboxing because her heels are like gilded weapons. She cried and I apologized, but man, her heels are just so scratchy and painful. The compromise we ended up making is that she gets pedicures regularly, and it's been working great for us for years now.\n\nUntil recently. The other night we were cuddling in bed and she sliced me again with her jagged hoof, so I suggested she wear socks to bed until she can get another pedicure. She told me that she's never like sleeping with socks on and they make her feel constricted.

I hesitate to call it ours because I brought it into the marriage, even if legally it's seen as ours.\n\nI don't want to install ramps and redo stairs because it would negatively impact the house value. The actual cost of construction is relatively minimal (government would subsidize some of it) but removing accommodations is not subsidized and can be hefty. On top of that, this is way too soon. My husband wants to get the ball going ASAP, I want to wait a few months.\n\nAITA for putting my foot down and use the \"it's my house\" card? ######","completion":" YTA for caring more about a house that was BOUGHT for you more than the health and well-being of a man you vowed to love in sickness and health. ######"}
{"prompt":"Just for some background on our family, I had my daughter at 17, she turned 15 March. Her stepfather and I have been married since she was five.\n\nA couple of years ago she started shying away from church, and around the same time building an altar. At first it was just crystals and candles. She said it was for meditation. Her stepfather and I were uncomfortable with it but we let it go. \n\nWith time she she has added more and more religious candles and deities, and she is focusing on it more. We are definitely starting to be less and less ok with it. We are unfamiliar with the things that she has there, we are uncomfortable with the candles and our intuition was to ask her to take it down.\n\nSeeking guidance, we took pictures of the altar and posted it on Facebook, asking other parents what they would do about the situation, and seeing if anyone was familiar about it. \n\nMany advised us to have her write out what each thing was on the altar. That way we can determine it’s appropriateness. If she didn’t want to do that then we had a right to take it down. \n\nWe thought that this was good advice so we went to our daughter and told her exactly that. She got offended about us questioning her religious beliefs, and told us that she would not comply. We have given her until the end of the week, the altar will come down if she doesn’t do what we ask.\n\nWe posted again to Facebook to update about the situation, and to my surprise people were reacting negatively to what I had done. Many people are saying that this is an invasion of privacy, and that I have no right to do this. I think that it is part of my parenting duty to teach my daughter moral beliefs. \n\nSomeone on Facebook actually recommended that I post here to get some other opinions, I’m curious about what people think about the situation. \n\nIf she doesn’t tell me the meaning of everything on the alter, I’m taking it down. AITA? ######","completion":" YTA for airing her personal life and your family issues on Facebook. \n\nI can see the concern over things like candles, they’re a fire hazard.

This has made me frustrated with her because she seems pretty nonchalant about not having a job. This is especially bad because if I need to use the car to go to the store or just to a park to relax, I have to wait for her to come back with messes up my schedule.\n\nI should note that the car was mine before we got married. I decided to hide the keys to it and we had an argument. I told her she is forbidden from using the car until she starts getting serious about looking for a job. She yelled and told me I was being unfair.

I cut their and my hair if it gets too long. Last year my son started wanting to skip haircuts and my wife said we should let him grow it out if he wants to. I was reluctant because I care about our family looking neat and presentable. I budged in the end.\n\nAustin’s hair got way longer than I ever would agree to. It is past his shoulders. His brothers tease him for looking like a girl and I wouldn’t be surprised if he got that at school too. I asked my son if he would like to cut his hair. He said no but he’s a child. I talked to my wife over and over about it who insisted that he be allowed to decide for himself. I disagree because I think he’s too young to know what is appropriate or not. I wouldn’t allow one of my kids to wear his swim shorts to school. You have to teach kids by saying no sometimes. When she was at work today I decided to cut Austin’s hair and apologize to my wife for it later. He looks way better. He didn’t want the haircut at first but now says he likes it. \n\nWhen my wife got a look at him and heard that I made him cut his hair, I swear steam came out of her ears. I have never seen her so angry. She told me I was a bad father today and refuses to even talk to me. While we were arguing she said she had half a mind to leave me over this.

I was looking over the heating bill and realized I was spending an absurd amount (over $500 per month) on heating alone. \n\nAs a result, I asked my employees to keep the temperature at 62 degrees or under indefinitely. This proved to be quite the difficult transition for them. I should mention that their attire consists of just a shirt, shorts, and a hat. Because I knew they would feel tempted to change the temperature (one of them is especially uptight about trivial things like this), I installed an alarm system to the thermostat to notify me if the temperature was turned up. I also put up a sign to remind them to never turn up the thermostat without my permission. \n\nOne particular day, I was sitting in my office managing my finances when the alarm went off. I stormed outside to find that the thermostat was at 63 degrees. I angrily demanded to see who was one who did this. There were only 2 employees present at the time.

There is a playground near one of the edges, and behind it there are a bunch of short nature trails that lead out to a parking lot. I was running on one of these trails and coming from the direction of the playground, I saw a black woman (she looked around early 30's) holding the hand of a white child (he looked around 7-9). \n\nUnfortunately I know this is coming off as discriminatory, but the white child was very pale and the black woman was very dark, so I figured he wasn't mixed and that she wasn't his mother. \n\nI ran past them but I stopped. I wasn't sure if the child was being kidnapped, and I'd rather be called racist and be wrong than not say anything and be right. I walked back up to them and yelled \"HEY\" to make them stop. They both looked at me and I asked her \"is this your child?\"\n\nThe woman glared at me and said no, she's watching him. I ignored her and asked the child \"do you know this woman?\" He looked nervous and said \"yeah\" which made me more suspicious. She took his hand and kept walking and I followed them out to the parking lot. I yelled out to her \"if you try to leave I'll call the fucking cops on you.\"\n\nShe got on her phone and she yelled back to me that she was calling the mother's child to pick up her kid and give her a ride back to her own home.

{"prompt":"I (34M) have been raising my sister (17F) for the past 7 years. Our mom passed away and had her via sperm donor, so I got custody. Our mother was a pretty wealthy person, with expectations for both of us. While we both have trust funds and college funds set up, our mom didn’t want us going to college for anything “frivolous” in her mind. She didn’t require me to go after a certain degree but said she wouldn’t pay for my college if it was pursued through the arts. I never wanted to get such a degree and ended up going into engineering. Before she died, she told me that she had put aside money for my sister’s education and that I could use it towards that, as long as she didn’t study the arts.\n\n\nMy sister is graduating this year and she’s been accepted into several colleges. Now, I’ve always known that my sister is artistically talented. She loves drawing and painting. When we last spoke, she wanted to get an architecture degree, which I felt fit her other talents as well. Then I found out she had applied to two universities’ art programs and she really wants to go. She would like to one day be an animator or storybook illustrator. The thing is, her college fund could pay for one of these universities but I know that it wasn’t what our mother had in mind. I told her that and said that I promised our mother I’d never use the money for that and if she wanted to major in it, she’d be on her own. My sister says that’s unfair because she’d be able to get no aid since I make too much (probably true) and she doesn’t want to be in debt.\n\nI spoke with our grandmother and she thinks I’m being a nitpicky asshole.

So it is understandable that she has some mental heath issues because of it. Sometimes she’ll just think too much and cry randomly, and other things. so she’s in therapy. She also sometimes has overreactions to anger and stuff. So here’s the situation. The other day I wanted to go out with my daughter for our daily walk, just mother  and daughter. We do this 3-4 times a week. This time, (she has never asked before) my stepdaughter asked if she could come too, she could really do with a walk because of her anxiety and blah blah blah. I don’t think she should’ve asked because she still had chores to do and it was meant to be just me and my daughter. She said she would really like to come, but I said she hadn’t done her chores so she couldn’t come. She looked upset but just went off to her room. When we got back, I was tidying some stuff and went to check if her room was clean and found her crying. Honestly, I thought it was pathetic because it was only a walk and she could have just gone on her own after her walk. I walked back out, told my husband and he called me a massive jerk and went to go and console my stepdaughter. So AITA? ######","completion":" YTA big time. Like that was way harsh, Tai.

I asked her why she doesn’t just use ibuprofen she said it doesn’t always work and they happen frequently enough she doesn’t want to over-use it, besides. \n\nThis doesn’t make sense to me.

She was taking all the contents out and throwing it all around (literally everywhere surrounding the garbage can). We told the lady \"I hope you're going to be cleaning that up\" and she did the scoff and disregarding hand wave. \n\nSo on the way to work, we called non emergency to just report it. No answer. I called 911 and told them what happened and that I had tried to call non emergency but no answer. She told me I needed to call back let non emergency know. Okay, whatever, I try again and no answer. I call 911 back and give the details, and after I have given the location, situation and what not, I told him I tried calling non emergency but no one answered so I just didn't know what to do other than call them. He tells me the same thing as before: \"Were not going to do anything, you need to call non emergency\" (paraphrased). I told him I tried and that I wanted to get this sorted out.

{"prompt":"Ok, let me explain! A few pieces of information about me needed first. I am a 33 year old single female, I live on my own and one big thing about me is that I don't and have never wanted kids - this is hard for some people to grasp but I have no maternal feelings, I plain don't like kids\/babies and I won't apologies for it!\nOk so now that's explained here's what happens. I live next door to a couple who has three children, two girls around 6-8 years old and a baby. On a number of occasions all I can hear is the kids screaming and while I don't really care about it in the day\/afternoon but when the baby wakes me at 2 in the morning I get angry quickly! I get that having a baby is hard and sometimes they just cry but, as harsh as it sounds, that's not my problem and I just want to sleep! So a few times when the crying going on and on and on I have played loud metal music a few times through my iPhone (no speakers just through the phone) and put it next to the wall. It really worked with only one or two song and the crying actually stopped! However, the last time I did it I notably heard that they must have moved the kid to another room away from the wall that is next to my room, like they couldn't get the crying to stop but I made them feel bad so they moved the kid as far away as possible. This made me feel a little bad but at the same time they have woken me multiple times.

Not terrible but I was kind of mad about the selfishness. \n\nFlash forward to yesterday morning and my mom made eggs and bacon. I got to the kitchen first, followed by older brother, then my little brother about ten minutes later. I took one third of everything that was made, and my older brother took the rest even though he asked me if my little brother had eaten yet and I said no. What a dick move. \n\nAnyways, my little brother comes and sees that nothing was left, and tells our mother and all hell broke loose. She yelled at us that he hadn’t eaten yet, he is to eat first from now on, and that we shouldn’t have eaten it all. She then made him a separate breakfast. \n\nI think this is unfair because she didn’t do the same for me. I couldn’t even convince her to.

{"prompt":"When I was thirteen, I had a Bar Mitzvah, and was given some shares of Apple stock by my grandparents.   Like any dumb kid, I was not thinking of saving for the future, so I asked my parents to cash it in and I wanted to buy stuff with it.  My dad was hesitant, but he gave me the $3200 and I blew it in a few months on whatever was fun at the time.  \n\nFast forward 28 years, and my parents a are talking to my sister and I about the estate planning since they are approaching 80.    My dad tells me that he never sold the stock, and wants to transfer the portfolio back to me.    For the last 28 years I was unaware that the stocks were still there and what was 1000 shares of AAPL has now become 14,000 shares. \n\nMy big sister comes in and starts throwing a fit at that idea. She says that the money should be split, especially since I “don’t need it as much as her”.  She never had a Bat Mitzvah, and therefore was never given stocks like that, but my parents did buy her a $500,000 house, a vacation condo, paid for her full college tuition while I went in the military to pay for college, and they still send her money monthly because she does like to work. \n\nAITA for thinking that the money should belong to me as originally intended, even though I thought it was spent a long time ago?

{"prompt":"I usually agree with my wife's critiques of things I shouldn't have said to my daughter, but this has bothered me for the past few days so I thought I'd get Reddit's opinion on this. My girl is almost 3, and is at that stage where she's very chatty. \n\nA few days ago, my daughter showed me a broken fingernail and asked if I could help her cut it. I examined it and decided it could be pulled off (it was dangling cos she had chipped it), without using a nail clipper. I then told her not to tell mummy. \n\nLater in the day, she of course proceeds to tell mummy. I say with mock admonishment, \"Honey, you're a snitch! I told you not to tell mummy.\" I didn't expect her to keep it quiet - she is a 2+ year old after all.\n\nLater however, my wife told me that she didn't appreciate me callong our daughter a snitch. She asked why I would ever think it was appropriate, and said, \"I wonder what was said to you when you were growing up that made you think that was ok\". The reference back to my growing up experiences is a common one, and one I usually agree with - most of my adult reactions do come from unresolved childhood traumas. \n\nHowever, I'm not sure why my wife felt it was so bad. It wasn't a swear word, and while not overwhelmingly positive was hardly fraught with super negative connotations. \n\nSo, Reddit - AITA for calling my 3 year old daughter a snitch? ######","completion":" YTA (ish). Not sure how many commenters here have kids. I always try to think 1) long-game and 2) what can the kid reasonably understand.  Kids don’t understand sarcasm\/joking at this age. All she knows is daddy thinks she did something wrong. She told mommy what happened.  There’s a better than average chance she did t remember that she wasn’t supposed to tell, since she is talking to a person she trusts (mommy) about something that a person she trusts (daddy) did. \n\n\nI guess my real question is why did pulling a fingernail off even have to be a secret? No one did anything here that seems worth keeping a secret and you don’t want to teach your kid to lie and keep secrets from mom and dad. Also, you are sorry of directly telling her to lie to mom here. \n\nAs an additional note, as a father of a daughter (and I am certainly NOT accusing you of this) this is the kind of thing that abusers to do kids so that they don’t tell trusted adults of abuse.

Only problem is that my beloved fiancée has the world's weirdest cravings and when they hit, she becomes crazy until she gets it and then she wouldn't eat it saying it's disgusting. Between that, constantly making food for her (day or night) and messaging her feet, I needed a break. Actually she was the one who suggested it earlier in the pregnancy.\n\nSo I packed my a bag filled with clothes, called both of her sisters (who were willing and are extremely helpful) and asked them to look after her for the week while I went to stay at my best friend's house. I wrote a note for her just to say goodbye since she was dead asleep and explain that I'm still available if there's a problem or something and that she should ask her sister to call me. And then I left. It was amazing and a breath of fresh air staying with my friend although i started to miss her so after four days and a half days, I came back home.\n\nProblem is, now she's angry at me for leaving her and now I'm sleeping on the couch. I get that she can't necessarily take a break herself but she had her sisters' support and help the whole time and if I stayed I would've lost my mind. Aita? ######","completion":" YTA - You should have had a face-to-face conversation with her about your plan.

{"prompt":"I (27M) met her (26F) a little over 1 year ago, and it was actually her who asked me out. At first it wasn't serious but within a few months we were officially dating. I did grow to love her but it did seem like she was more into me than me into her, but now I'd say its equal. \n\nAnyway, for the longest time I avoided meeting her family because doing so would confirm to myself that we were serious. But eventually I grew the balls to do it and realized her family is filthy rich. I never would have known It because it seems like she really tried hard to be modest about things. \n\nLike, I'm talking multi millions. Her dad owns a very successful business. Turns out I got on great with her family, especially her dad. He took a liking to me, and offered me a job at his business. It's pretty high paying too and not a low level position. \n\nAfter this, I mulled over things and decided to propose to her which she obviously said yes.\n\nWell when I spoke to one of my friends, we were talking about getting married and he asked me whether her family's financial status had any sway in my decision to propose... and I said \"yes of course, it is fucking awesome\" and he looked at me weird and called me asshole.

We continued acting like a couple without formally calling it a “relationship.” \n\nA while later, I realized that acting like a couple without actually being one (just to separate in a few months when he leaves to another country) is pointless. I told him that we should act like friends. He agreed and we still continued talking but he would still flirt. I told him again that we should act like friends and he got hurt this time for some reason. \n\nA while later, he asked me if I still liked him and if I was talking to anybody else. I told him I did like him, and I was not a “thing” with anybody else and had no intention of dating anybody else. He still got upset and we stopped speaking so often when my grandfather passed that same day. He’d occasionally text me that he’s going to NJ. I assumed it was to meet some friends.\n\nI found out very recently from pictures my friend sent me that he has been in a relationship with his best friend for the past two weeks (who lives in NJ!) -The same girl who lusted after him while we were seriously talking (he would tell me he could tell she likes him from the way she talks to him, but said he doesn’t like her at all.) I texted him asking him to confirm, and he simply said he is dating her, and has been for two weeks already.

But isn’t that my call to make?\n\nSo then my wife asks why I didn’t go compliment my in-law because he washed my car. Mind that this is a somewhat repetitive behavior of his: mind other people’s business. Gee, he hands me napkins when he sees my hands are dirty because I *might* need them. \n\nSo fine, he wanted to wash it with my 4 year old, that was considered at some point, and I also didn’t like that because it’s a dad-son thing I could do myself.

Also this happened a while ago but I'm thinking about it again.\n\nI (24F) have been vegan for almost 5 years, and was vegetarian before that. My family is generally supportive but when I was in high school and still living at home I often cooked my own meals, or just ate the sides because my parents weren't super in to cooking vegetarian. In the past year or so my mom has really opened up to it and has been experimenting with vegan cooking as well which has been nice to talk about.\n\nI went home for the holidays earlier this year with my fiance, who is also vegan. My older brothers (26 and 28) still live at home with my parents. My fiance is also a professional chef (I'm an okay cook but usually follow his lead), and we offered to cook a nice dinner for the whole family.  My middle brother is a picky eater, but we made foods that are generally pretty well liked by the whole family. We made fresh homemade pasta and rolls, my fiance made a delicious sauce with lots of veggies, and a big salad. We served the food and everyone agreed that it looked and smelled delicious.\n\nThen my brother goes to the fridge and gets a big block of cheese and starts grating it over his pasta. I asked him if he would please stop, we were trying to make a vegan meal everyone could enjoy, and purposefully hadn't put in any foods he didn't like. He said he doesn't like to eat pasta without cheese (???) I said that since we had put in a lot of effort into cooking and it was disrespectful when we had intentionally made the food to be vegan, in an attempt to show how good vegan cooking could be. He got huffy and said I was being too controlling. My parents remained neutral and didn't take either side. The mood of dinner was off to a bad start and remained uncomfortable.\n\nAITA for asking my brother to not add cheese to a vegan dish my fiance and I prepared? ######","completion":" YTA - Vegan here and I do think you were being controlling. Adding cheese to his own portion is like putting hot sauce or olive oil - a matter of personal taste. Does it suck when people aren't more willing to try vegan food? Sure.

Recently though, she's been having a really rough time with work and is clearly stressed out about it. She's visibly upset much of the time, but she doesn't seem to want to discuss the specifics with me. She's even become forgetful and somewhat unuseful around the house recently - she seems to always be thinking about work.\n\nShe wouldn't talk to me directly about it and I knew I had to do something, so I found her boss's phone number and reached out. I simply told him that she has been listless and despondent recently, and that I worried about her performance at work as well as what it's done to our home life. Basically her boss corroborated everything I was saying, and it seemed clear he felt the same way about her behavior. After some time talking, we both came to the conclusion that a reassignment was necessary - not really a demotion, but the decision was made for her to be reassigned to a less high stakes, less stressful position. We didn't state it verbally, but I think we both had an understanding that this was in her best interest and our conversation wouldn't need to be brought up to her.\n\nAfter the news came down to her she became hysterically upset - she thought she was being demoted essentially and she didn't understand why. The thing is it really isn't a demotion, there's no pay-cut involved, just an executive decision that was made for her own benefit. I'm really not comfortable telling her that I was involved with this because I suspect she'll freak out at me, but I do feel what I did was correct, and I believe her boss was reasonable enough to understand that also.\n\n**TL;DR: Wife was reassigned at her job after I had a conversation with her boss, she feels she was demoted but that's not really the case.** ######","completion":" YTA - That's a serious boundary violation.

{"prompt":"My friend \\[17f\\] has a somewhat popular instagram account-- think 10-20k followers. She posts a lot of photography\/artsy stuff with a few pics of her in cute outfits. Our high school is in her bio (like how people put the acronym of their school and their graduating year) and her photos are all tagged with location, so it's pretty easy to see where she lives. \n\nAnyhow, she received a DM from a guy who lives in our city-- in fact, I know him since we play on the same club soccer team, but I digress. She showed me the DM, and it wasn't rude or lewd or creepy or something. It was just 'hey, my name is \\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_, and I think you're pretty cute. Since we're from the same place, would you like to hang out sometime?'. Pretty chill and non-threatening imo.\n\nShe isn't really looking for a relationship right now, which is understandable, so she didn't want to. She left his DM on read without responding, which I kind of felt was rude. As a guy who has asked girls out before, I know how hard it is to work up the courage to go up to a girl and say what you're feeling-- even over DM. Getting rejected sucks, ofc, but even a simple let-down isn't as soul-crushing as just being left of read. \n\nShe doesn't have an obligation to answer him, but I think it would be nice to, since just leaving him on read would probably do a number on his confidence. So I told her she might want to just send a simple 'sorry, I'm not looking for a relationship right now' type DM back if she wanted to be nice. \n\nThis pissed her off, and she went on and on about how she doesn't *have* to. Again, I'm not saying she has to, I just think it's kinda rude to leave him on read. Typing up a simple 'I'm not interested' message wouldn't take long.\n\nAITA for suggesting this? ######","completion":" YTA - she owes no one a response, especially not (what I assume to be) an adult male that she does not know sliding into her DMs, and it’s not your place nor your business to comment on it.\n\nEdit: additionally, I’m assuming you’re not a female. Many of these people who slide into strangers’ DMs are persistent and obnoxious. Saying you’re not interested as a female doesn’t always have nice and cheery endings. It’s not rude. ######"}
{"prompt":"My (28M) girlfriend (25F) was into competitive ballroom dancing pre-covid. If you're familiar with competitive ballroom dancing, it's not just graceful waltzing around a ballroom. It's a lot of lifts, lots of close proximity, hands pressed against the body quite intentionally, and perceived chemistry counts for a lot. \n\nMy girlfriend invited me to one of her performances in November 2019. Her dance partner is more attractive than me in every way. He's at least 4 inches taller than me and in great shape. I didn't think I'd be so bothered by their performance, but I really, really was. My girlfriend was wearing this thin, white dress that left little to the imagination and her partner had a skintight black bodysuit on. There was a \"moment\" at the end where they were both leaning in, he was holding her waist, etc. and the audience was applauding. It just seems incredibly sensual to me. When I spoke to him after he seemed very casual with how he touched my girlfriend - a hand on her shoulder when he was making a joke, etc.\n\nI confronted my girlfriend about it recently and she says it's just part of the act and that I have nothing to worry about because she loves me. I consulted with a few of my friends and they said they would be freaking out over it also.

{"prompt":"A lil backstory: I'm 34M, and have never come close to having a SO. And I don't mean I'm one of those people things never got serious with, I mean I've never even had a woman express the tiniest interest or go along if I did. It goes without saying that I'm a virgin, but I've never even had a kiss or held hands with a woman.\n\nBefore anyone asks, no, I don't think I'm entitled to those things, or that there's something wrong with women for not being interested in me. I'm not some incel dipshit. I'm just an overweight guy with bad social skills.\n\nAnd yes I've tried therapy. The therapist told me to lose weight and \"get out more\". Fat lot of good that advice did me.\n\nAnyways, at my age I'm pretty much the only single guy left in my social circle, and as a result pretty much every gathering involves a large amount of everyone else getting affectionate with their partners.\n\nIt's not that I resent them being happy or that I dislike their partners. It's just that it hurts seeing everyone around you holding hands, kissing, sweet-talking, leaning on each other, and stuff all the time, when the closest I've ever come to that (and at this rate probably ever will) was being paired with a girl classmate in school for projects (which, I might add, they quite visibly disliked).\n\nLast Friday we were out at a local pub, and sure enough it was three pairs of people and me. We weren't at our table for long before one of them had their girlfriend leaning into their lap, and another one of my friends was playing with his partner's hair.\n\nI held it together for as long as I could, but when one of them started making innuendo about their (R rated) plans that evening, I kind of lost it. I didn't raise my voice or insult them or anything, but I told them I was sick of them \"rubbing each other in my face\". From then on dinner was awkward but not hostile.\n\nThey acted like I was the worst person ever and haven't really been very nice to me since. Was I the asshole? ######","completion":" YTA - People aren't showing affection to their partners to spite you. They're doing it because they are in a loving and committed relationship, and they have the right to show affection in public. You don't have the right to choose what they do because it hurts you.

I was facetiming with my bf and he asked if I'd done anything fun today, and feeling sort of proud of myself I showed him my new jewelry box layout and explained it's all real gold and silver now.

She has always told me she feels left out from her friends when they tell ask her for her phone number, Instagram, etc and she can't give them an answer. So I thought this year for her birthday would be a perfect opportunity to buy her a phone since I figured she was bored in quarantine. \n\nMe and my husband (33M) are pretty well off, he's an attorney and I own a small bakery. So we have extra cash to splurge on nice things. My sister on the other hand, (30F) had her daughter at a young age and the father is out of the picture, so she struggles a bit in terms of finances. So I thought I would do a favor for her and her daughter Bethany by purchasing an iPhone 10 for her.  It's not the latest model but she still appreciated it. \n\nOn Saturday it was her birthday and she had a drive-by type party.

{"prompt":"My ex has been dating this woman for 3 years and she has been in my kids’ life since he was 2.

My son already has a mom and doesn’t need another person confusing him by trying to parent him.\n\nMy ex says he asks her to help and appreciates her supporting him but isn’t it his job as the dad to parent his own son?\n\nOne example is she told my son to use his inside voice when he was screaming in the car while my ex was allegedly driving.  My ex claims that he couldn’t handle him by himself because he was driving the car but how is it her right to tell my kid to shut up????\n\nSo I told my son that dad’s gf is a dumb lady and a stranger and only dad can tell him what to do.

And you are going to give your child serious psychological issues if you don’t wake up and address this. This kind of behaviour makes me really mad, because you aren’t being a protective mum, you are hurting your child the most. But I’m going to stick to the problem at hand:\n\n1. She’s not a stranger, he has known her basically as long as he can remember. \n2. Being told to use his inside voice is fair and sounded like it was required. These are skills he will learn, but only with the support of people in his life - this included her. \n3. You need to seek counselling before you really fuck your child up. \n4. After you’ve had some counselling I suggest you apologise to your ex and his girlfriend. And do whatever you can to make amends. \n5. If you continue to treat other people badly for no reason, you will only end up with them resenting you (and probably your son too) - there is nothing positive for you or your son to gain by making the girlfriend as bitter as you are. \n6.

I brought it up to her and told her this and she said its not the same and that a lot of her friends come over and they wouldn't feel comfortable in a man-cave. I told her its called a man cave but it doesn't matter who uses it, anyone of our friends or kids friends can chill there.\n\nWe argued about it for a week but then I said fuck it I work way too hard and bring in all the money into this house and I pulled out 200k out of my personal accounts and I hired an interior designer and contractor to start it up. My wife was PISSED, like I thought she'd kill me but that wore off after a few weeks and she's not pissed anymore just called it the biggest asshole move in history. This was about 8 months ago and construction finished in the end of March (thank god). Its got a full bar, 8 TV's, wine cellar, billiards room, poker table\/area, home theatre area, and my favourite a cigar\/whiskey room and a few other features.\n\nMy wife saw it complete for the first time and said it was really nice, but still called it an asshole move and her sister and her friends then called me and said I'm an asshole as well.\n\nI don't get it, AITA? ######","completion":" Yta - imagine if she spent the same amount of money without your agreement on herself.

{"prompt":"I (62M) was married to my ex (58F) for 20+ years until things went downhill. From her perspective I was emotionally cold and stubborn, and from mine she was so up and down. She suddenly left me (especially due to money issues) for another guy and moved to LA to live in his literal mansion.\n\nThis was 15 years ago, and we haven’t spoken since. My kids don’t mention her to me, which is easy because she lives far away. I basically plan to never speak to her again.\n\nMy two kids are grown, and my younger son is getting married in October. When my older son was married, he sat me and my ex super far from each other. The wedding was large, and I was able to avoid her. We agreed on not doing any photos with both of us in it, so he did photos with me then her separately, and with each of our family sides separately.\n\nMy younger son and his bride have a problem with this. They have agreed to seat us far, but they want a photo with the whole family. They said that it can be a large group so we’ll be far from each other, but this is something I’m uncomfortable with. Apparently my ex doesn’t care, but I do.\n\nWe are not together or even friendly so I don’t see why we should act like we are for the photo. I intend on staying as far away from her as possible, then leaving on the earlier end. I quite literally hate her guts and I don’t think my son totally understands that. It feels like he wants his family to be back to what it was, but he’s not seeing reality. He now mentions when he’s calling his mom or visiting her, etc., whereas we previously didn’t speak of that.

My hubby tried it and after that everytime we went shopping he would buy it. It really annoyed me cause that's my favourite. He's done it with different things such a fruit loafs and brioche etc.\nNow 2 days ago my daughter did the weekly shop and she likes to buy her dad something nice, so because his usual donuts weren't in stock she got the maple and pecan pies. He was happy when he saw them.\nLater on I said to her, you know they're my favourite not your dads, he just copies me. She didn't say anything. I've talked to her about this before, how it annoys me so much that he copies my favourite food!!\nSo I've decided I'm just going to tell him to stop copying me so that I can enjoy my favourite food again.\nAITA?? ######","completion":" YTA - are you 12? ######"}
{"prompt":"My boyfriend (25m) and me (24m) have been together for 11 months now. The topic of kids has only come up recently. He has said he really wants kids about a month or so ago. I was originally fine with the topic but then I started thinking of all the negative effects (financial, having to give up your freedom, etc) and I don’t really think I want them anymore. Plus our roommate’s 12 year old nephew has been staying over and it’s been really eye-opening actually living with a kid. I really want this relationship to work but feel like if we had kids in the future (4-5 years down the road) it would be entirely for his happiness and pleasure and a burden on me. He wants to foster and adopt an 8-10 year old. So I said maybe we can live together, you can just do everything for the kids and pay for them and we can both have our desired lifestyles. I compared it to if I bought a motorcycle that only I wanted and tried to make him pay for part of it and work on it. Am I in the wrong for suggesting that? I’m trying to come up with a solution that makes us both happy. Plus he has said that if we break up he will just adopt a kid and be a single dad, so technically I’d be helping him out by splitting housing costs, etc, even if I didn’t want to deal with the kid’s crap and costs. ######","completion":" YTA - A kid is not a motorcycle. It’s a living, breathing human being. It would be emotionally damaging to a child to bring them into a home where one parent actively resents them and refuses to participate in their care. If you don’t want kids, don’t have them. But don’t fuck up some child’s life. ######"}

His jeep is actually 6 years older than your car.  Despite the fact that it looks nice, it likely has more wear and tear on it.  At the end of the day, your parents probably spent similar amounts of money on your cars and got the best available within that price range.  Sorry the Jeep wasn't available for them to buy for you last year.  The fact that you get a nice car is a privilege that not all kids get.\n\nWhen I was 16, I considered myself lucky to drive an old, beat up car that would overheat if you drove it too long... and even that was a privilege over what some kids get.

I made some food for me and my mother and we went to a park and we spent some time together there and then we went to her house (my childhood home)so we could talk and go through our old photo albums that I keep there. I don’t have my old pics at my house because some pics are embarrassing and personal and my wife doesn’t need to see them. Then we watched a movie and then I went back to my marital home. Today my wife is mad at me that I didn’t get her anything and didn’t do anything for her on Mother’s Day but I don’t agree with that because Mother’s Day means showing appreciation to your mother, not your wife and I did do something for her. My boys are independent and can look after themselves. I made sure to make food for them so they could eat whenever they want and I put the food on the table so they could serve themselves so that my wife won’t have to do it and I specifically told them not to bother my wife because their mother needs a break. But it was Mother’s Day and I wanted to spend time with my mother since I’m usually busy dealing with my wife and kids. I wanted my time alone with my mother to just talk and reminisce about our past and my dead father. Something that I rarely get to do. When I strike back at my wife with my argument, she didn’t say anything after that but she responded by saying, I shouldn’t be doing anything for you on Father’s Day.

My friends got really upset at me and said that if I continue defending homophobic people they are going to kick me put of the group chat so I just left it by myself.

{"prompt":"My friend had been dating a girl for about 10 months and I could tell that he really loved her. Whenever we would hang out she would be there too and I didn't really have a problem with it because she was pretty cool. About 2 weeks ago he asked me if I wanted to chill at the skatepark. When I got there I noticed that she wasn't there so I asked where she was. He told me that before he called me they had got into a big fight but he didn't tell me what it was about. That night we went over to his cousins house to chill. He was really down the whole time and it's understandable why. Skip ahead about 2 days he told me that she had moved on but they were going camping with a group of friends. That night not only did she fuck one of his close friends she also hit on basically all the guys there in front of him. He found out about it and me and his cousins told him to just move on but he was too stuck on her. We told him that theres no point in forgiving her. Later that same day he told his cousin that he had taken a shower with her and they fucked. And we told him that she was no good and he should move on  before he gets hurt any more than he already has. We made it clear to him that we thought she was a slut and he got angry at us and said that he still loved her and that he wanted to try and fix things with her.

I already told her that I didn't like the idea of my gf spending a trip with a dude, wether he's gay or not, but I would not stand in her way. I would be very happy if she called off the trip and waited til August once I've finished with the semester. She didn't want to call it off, kept saying that Bob's gay, and I was being weird about it. \n\nSome info: She one cancelled another trip with Bob because I didn't like the idea of they would share a bed in a room to save money.

{"prompt":"This happened back in Feb but it’s still an issue which she brought up recently. \n\nThe title makes me sound like I’m definitely the asshole, but just let me explain:\n\nSo my (25M) girlfriend (25F) was picking up something at my workplace. This is an office job, but it’s very stressful. Anyway, I went down to the lobby to handoff the thing my girlfriend needed. I went back up right after. \n\nLater that night, my girlfriend was telling me how she went to the bathroom in the lobby, and there was this girl quietly crying. My girlfriend said she stayed for a little bit and comforted her. \n\nNow the reason I am really annoyed by this is because that girl had got into a *huge* argument with out boss (she was clearly in the wrong though). She was acting super arrogant about something and basically got chewed out by our boss. He was seriously pissed. Basically what happened was, our boss asked her to get him a tea bag from our coffee station. She thought she was to good for that (this is something that we all have to do from time to time) and they got into a huge argument. \n\nOur boss just told her to go home for the day, and the other bosses (our boss’s peers) didn’t say anything. \n\nObviously people talk, and pretty much everyone agrees that that girl was in the wrong. Sure none of us *like* having to do that stuff, but it rarely happens. \n\nAnyway so I guess the girl was crying in the lobby and when my girlfriend told me about what happened, I instantly recognized who she was talking about. \n\nI told my girlfriend that I really wish she hadn’t done that because I didn’t want it to somehow seem like I, by relation, was taking sides against my boss, especially considering that this girl was the one who started the whole conflict. \n\nMy girlfriend says that regardless, it’s “empathetic” to still try to comfort her then.

It would be about 1.5hrs. \n\nWhen she went to the washroom, I took her fun laptop and switched to a similar movie on netflix. I dont understand why she had to watch this movie right now. She has netflix, amazon, crave and Disney plus, so many options to choose from. Like shes a bit priviliged with a smart tv in her room, her guest room and her living room. An Xbox, PS4, Switch and N64. Sometimes I think she likes having the \"best\" of everything. \n\nAnyhow she got really upset with me and said I violated her boundaries -- big fight last night. She made me sleep in the guest room. My guy friends think shes over-reacting. Like it's just a movie. \n\nThis morning she said she slept on it and feels like we need a break and asked me to leave. I left this afternoon to my parents but borrowed the extra laptop until I get mine fixed. \n\nShe called freaking out, called me a thief, said she will call the cops. Accused me of being AH but my mom thinks she needs to chill. Maybe do a spa day or something. Like she has 2 laptops and all these gaming devices, I think she will be fine. \n\nSo AITA for borrowing my GFs laptop? ######","completion":" Yes, YTA.  It’s her laptop, not yours.

{"prompt":"Me and my daughter have been haven’t been getting along so well recently and I feel as though I’ve been under-appreciated because she doesn’t seem to realise how much I really do around the house. I’m a single parent (there’s just us in the house) with disabilities that stop me from doing certain things such as taking clothes upstairs and putting them away or doing the dishes etc... So my daughter does these things; she also vacuums around the house, cleans the bathroom the majority of the time, sweeps in the kitchen, looks after our pets... However, recently, she’s been spending a lot of the time in her room doing school work, which I know she is quite stressed about, and she’s not been keeping up with her chores around the house.\n\nI’ve been spending a lot of the week at my friend’s workplace and helping her with certain things while my daughter has been at home. I was hoping she’d maybe do some jobs while I was out but I’ve been coming home to see the bare minimum, she’d only vacuumed and put washing on the dryer. I’d just given up so I refused to do anything and waited for my daughter to notice. \n\nI’ve seen her become more and more stressed throughout the week. Yesterday, we sat down to watch a film and by the end of it she was annoyed because I was on my phone most of the time and asked her to tell me what happened- she usually doesn’t get annoyed by this and I told her that she used to do it all the time so why shouldn’t I? I’m the adult, not her. The dog has also chewed one of her last pairs of glasses this week, they were her favourite.\n\nI felt like my point was finally getting across so I told her this morning about what I’ve been doing. She seemed shocked and upset but I’ve been dealing with her behaviour for weeks, I told her to put herself in my shoes and she just ignored me. She apologised but I have a feeling she’s still upset.\n\nSo, Reddit, am I the a-hole? ######","completion":" Yes YTA.

{"prompt":"Throwaway because a few of my coworkers use reddit.\n\n\nSo I'm a teacher at a relatively low income school. If you didn't know, this week is teacher appreciation week and though school has been cancelled for the rest of the year we still give lessons online.\n\n\nMy school's administration set up a drive through so that we could still pick-up our teacher appreciation gifts, and afterwards a large group of us teachers would decorate our cars and drive through the surrounding neighborhoods with signs for the students stuck at home. \n\n\nI brought along my (18F) daughter, who I'll refer to as K, and my other daughter (12F). I had K drive my truck in the parade so that my youngest and I could sit in the back with the signs and wave to everyone.\n\n\nWell, about ten minutes in K made a wrong turn (weren't leading) and we got seperated from the group. I started yelling for K to turn around which caused her to freak out and start crying. She pulled into a driveway and managed to catch up with everyone but I was rather annoyed at her. She had one job, to follow everyone else. \n\n\nThat wasn't the only thing, she kept driving slower than everyone and I had to continuously tell her to keep up. \n\n\nWhen we got back to the school K was still upset and I kept trying to tell her to just let it go. I apologized to everyone for the inconvenience and some teachers told me that I should not have acted so harshly to K, one teacher actually hit the person in front of her, and pointed out that all things considered K did fine.\n\n\nK hates driving my truck and it always stresses her out, but I stand firm in my belief that as a soon to be college student she should have experience driving a wide range of vehicles. Also how hard is it to just follow in line with a bunch of cars?\n\n\nEither way my daughter told my wife what happened and now she's annoyed at me too.

{"prompt":"Throwaway because my girlfriend follows my main. Also sorry I'm on mobile. \n\nMy (M19) girlfriend (F18) and I got into an argument over this and we resolved it but I can't stop wondering if I was TA. \n\nMy GF was telling me about how sick and tired she was of the cat calling she and other women get. Now, my GF is gorgeous. She's curvy in all the right places and is very beautiful. So I tell her that though it is unfortunate, she attracts male attention because she is beautiful.\n\nApparently I said something wrong. She tells me she does appreciate the compliment, but it was very tone deaf. She accused me of victim blaming and says that the men doing it need to control themselves. \n\nThis is where I get mad. I blow up at her, saying that not all men are like that and she needs to stop blaming me. I tell her I was just trying to make her feel better.\n\nShe tells me that she knows it is not all men, but it is too many. I tell her to shut up and stop with her man-hating. She is crying at this point and hangs up the call. I was mad and didn't want to talk to her anymore so I went to sleep. \n\n\nSo Reddit, AITA?\n\nEDIT: Okay, yes. I am a huge A hole. I owe my GF an apology. Thank you for helping me come to my senses. ######","completion":" Yeah. YTA. Telling her to shut up? Try supporting your girlfriend a little. \n\nAlso, cat-calling isn't a 'compliment' that women reject. Cat-calling makes women feel objectified and unsafe in some - if not most - situations. Usually men only cat-call when women are alone or with other women, not when they're walking with men, which is a huge indicator that it shouldn't even be done, ever. ######"}
{"prompt":"I have always tried to teach my daughter to be respectful to others and herself. When she was 16 she had wanted a tattoo and I told her that it was her choice but a condition with living in our house was that such a thing is not permitted. I told her that I felt that tattoos were something that I believed were unnecessary and not a good way to treat your body.\n\nMy daughter is almost 20 now. A week ago I accidentally walked in on her in the bathroom. I quickly turned away but couldn't help noticing that she had large parts of her body covered in tattoos. I am shocked that I had not noticed them earlier because in the short glimpse I got it looked like her whole back was tattooed as well as many others elsewhere. The only explanation I have is that she must have always had them covered in clothing around me.\n\nI confronted my daughter about the tattoos later and she initially denied them. I told her I know what I saw and she eventually admitted that she had got them and hid them from me because she knows I am against them.\n\nI was deeply hurt by what she had done. The tattoos were hurtful because she knew I was against them but my hurt is not just about the tattoos. She has been living with us without paying board despite working full time and I am also angry that she is wasting her money on tattoos rather trying to pay her way. The reason why we have allowed her to live with us without paying anything is we wanted her to be able to save to buy a house and get a head start in life. I was extremely angry that instead she was blowing her money on something she knew both her parents were against.\n\nI ended up telling my daughter that she needs to move out which of course led to major arguments and drama.

{"prompt":"My girlfriend (24F) and I (35M) have been together for almost a year. She comes from a wealthy family. They own several houses and buy my gf everything she wants whenever she wants it. They’re good people, but I think they need to treat her like a woman instead of a child. I worked hard for everything I have, which isn’t much, so it frustrates me to watch her coast through life. They pay all of her bills, including putting her through medical school. All she has to pay for herself are her luxuries, so she is able to build up her savings much more than I am. Who the hell is able to save up while they’re in medical school? Well anyone can become a doctor with the endless opportunities that she has. \n\nSo yesterday my girlfriend and I got into a very heated argument. She told me her new laptop had finally come. I asked her what laptop. She said her old one broke a few days ago so she ordered a new one. She got a top of the line MacBook, way more bells and whistles than what she needs. I asked how she paid for it but I knew the answer, her parents bought it. So here’s where I might be the asshole. I was really mad knowing they probably spent 3 months of what could be someone’s rent on a computer that she *doesn’t need*. I finally just asked her if she’s embarrassed that everything she has in life has been handed to her. Naturally she got defensive and we started arguing. After a while I calmly said I think she’s a spoiled brat and her parents are doing a disservice to her. She called me a string of obscenities in return before hanging up on me. We haven’t talked since.\n\nI get that I was harsh on her but I really don’t think I was wrong. She’s an adult who has no concept of what the real world is like. I want the best for her at the end of the day. Reddit, AITA? ######","completion":" Yeah, YTA. Spoiled brats throw tantrums for what they want. It sounds like her parents are very generous, and it's not really any of your business if they buy her a laptop rather than paying someone else's rent as long as she's not expecting you to do the same. \n\nNot anyone can be a doctor, even if she's given lots of luxuries. Maybe you were lashing out from your own insecurities. Your girlfriend is a saver. She has more money in a savings account than you do, so she's not just leaking all her money away and expecting someone else to fill in the gap. ######"}

When I told her what I did we had a fight because she says her family is here and she cannot separate from them. My position is that this is an amazing opportunity with many costs supported by the employer and the pay is great too.

She says she would be homesick within a month and she will not leave with me at all.\n\nAs a final point I told her I hate being tied up to other people’s lives and that it was her family’s choice to remain in country A.

She has taught her pee outside because she's little enough to not make it a problem. But now to the point, the last straw. This morning I dropped her off there to play while mom and I worked. When I got there she instantly tried teaching her that \"someone stop her she's dancing like a stripper\" song. I sternly told her not to teach her that and left it at that. An hour later I got a Snapchat from her of my daughter singing it. I told her again it doesn't matter if you say she can only sing it there. She will sing it in public and I don't want that. I got no response. After work my wife calls me and tells me my mom called her and asked our daughter to sing her the song. Further proving she made her memorize this. Then my mom called my wife a bitch for telling her not to fucking teach her this stuff. \n\nHer calling my wife a bitch was the last straw. I went to her house and told her exactly what I thought. I told her our daughter is not going there any more until she thinks about what she is teaching her. As I was leaving my mom told me if she sees my wife in public she's gonna beat her ass. \n\nAt that point I flipped. I screamed at her to act her age and stop being a shitty person. \n\nNow I can't sleep thinking maybe I should have defended my mom even a little. AITA?  \n\nAlso sorry for the long post. ######","completion":" Definitely NTA. Your mum has zero respect for you or or wife, which she has demonstrated repeatedly.

{"prompt":"Some context: I have a strict \"no lending\" policy on money, I won't let anyone starve, but I'd rather buy you lunch rather than give you the money. It's something my parents taught me and it helps to weed out who's just lying to get a fix of whatever. \n\nDue to lay-offs, we are all struggling, but I have a savings account with some emergency money. I've literally starved to be able to put some money aside every month, and it's not much, but it's something to fall back on.\n\nLast month, one of the guys I work with started sending me texts asking for money. I said no, he asked someone else and got it so I didn't feel too bad about it. This month, as soon as we got paid, he started the texts again, and again, I said no. I know he's good for it, I'm sure by the end of the month he would pay me back and we're friends. I even pay for drinks when we go out because I know he doesn't have much.\n\nHere's the thing though. I work 12\/14 hour shifts. I work myself to the bone to be able to save up and I don't spend money on myself, aside for bare necessities. And this guy, even though he's a good worker, doesn't. He misses work half of the week, gets in late and, even though his schedule is always the same, he sends a text everyday asking what time he gets in, even on my days off.\n\nNow, there are a lot of reasons why I shouldn't lend him money, he gets financial aid from the government and wastes it all on weed, he mooches of other people for places to crash, food and alcohol and takes stuff from work to take to his dealer to pay for more weed.\n\nBut none of that matters to me. Even if the money was for something important, what really makes this a solid No is the fact that if he just showed up for work he would have money for his stuff. And even though I could lend him some bucks, why should I have to? I do feel bad for him, and in my mind I keep arguing with myself about it, so I want to know, am I being an asshole here? ######","completion":" Definitely NTA.

Each house sits on about three acres so there’s a fair amount of room between houses. Growing up the neighborhood was quiet with very few, if any, disagreements.  Within the last few years a new family moved in with teenagers and money to burn. They have several golf carts, 4wheelers, and motorized bikes the kids and friends like to race up and down the street. Last fall a kid fell off their golf cart and cracked his head open in our front yard. After that the racing stopped.  In the last few weeks it started again. Racing in the dark with out lights, reflective clothes, or even helmets. As the kids are a bit older they’ve added trucks to the mix with kids up and dancing in the bed of the trucks while it’s moving. I have talked to the mom about my concerns, and she said she tells them to stop when she sees it, but she also likes to be a mean girls “cool mom” and allows the kids to basically do whatever. As this is occurring more frequently (at least 3 nights in the last week) I am considering calling the police the next time it happens.

I'm a girl. \n\nMy new job is a very labor intensive job, moving heavy objects, pushing carts, packing shipping boxes. It's summer in the south on top of that, so it's hell hot. So of course I'm sweating with all the manual labor and the lack of ventilation in a metal sweatshop for 8+ hours a day. \n\nI have a 'normal' type of deodorant, a 24 hours active sense one. Though, due to circumstances I can't get to the store and I ran out. I have a backup, a men's old spice one, I bought it because I like the smell. Very pine woodsy. It's a good cover all, and no matter how much I swear it works wherever my normal one I use when I know I am not going to be sweating alot, because I don't want to force people to smell my body odor of onion bagels. \n\nSo because of how much I sweat, I've been using the old spice one.  No more B.O! Everything was fine, my male co-workers, I work with mostly teenage boys, never noticed. Until today where do to an absence in the second shift I got to work in the less labor intensive area. \n\nToday I sat down with the girls to unwrap CDs , and one of them commented how it smells like a guys here. \n\nMe: oh yeah, I used old spice. I'd rather you not smell me, lol. \n\nThis girl, we'll call her Anna, freaked the fuck out. A few  seemed bothered and one of them told me it reminds her of her dad. \n\nThings were said such as 'its unnatural, there's perfectly good girls deodorant!\" And \" are you gay?\" And basically how I was a bitch because normal girls use floral deodorant and things designed for women and men had their own things made for them. \n\n\nTo me, it's fucking deodorant. I've know a few girls to do use ax, so why is this a thing? Still, I can't help but wonder if I'm a minority here. \n\nAITA for using the 'wrong' deodorant? ######","completion":" Definitely NTA and I suggest you up the anti by wearing Axe body spray.

{"prompt":"So this happened a few years ago but I always wonder if I was in the wrong. My brother (21M) and his girlfriend (20F) has been dating less than a year when my fiancé and I started writing our guest list for our wedding. We decided to invite my brother’s girlfriend even though they had only been together for a short time. GF found out I had invited a friend which happened to be a former classmate of hers (this girl was also a fiancée of one my partner’s friends and had been together for 2 years) and asked me to uninvite this girl because this girl was her sworn enemy and apparently she had once been with my brother. I told her that whatever was going on between GF and this girl wasn’t my business and I didn’t want to make things awkward and uninvite her when I didn’t have a problem with her. GF then started accusing me of choosing this girl over her and disrespecting her and although initially my brother didn’t care, he also eventually agreed with his GF and neither of them showed up to my wedding. I was devastated and conflicted on whether I should have just uninvited my friend to keep peace between me, my brother and his GF or whether that would have just been the start of GF making demands and getting her way. ######","completion":" Definitely NTA \n\nit's your wedding' you can invite who you want.

{"prompt":"Okay, this is kind of of a weird one. I have been dating my girlfriend for 7 months now. I want to preface all of this by saying that I love her and that this post makes her sound worse than she is. She is one of the most genuine, sweetest, and hardworking people I have ever met. But, this whole situation has been so off putting to me and I don’t know what to do about it. \n\nMy girlfriend can be a bit clingy in general which, frankly, I have always found a bit cute. But, when she goes to the bathroom she always wants me to join her. At first I thought it was cute she wanted to spend time with me so much but I didn’t realize it was something she was going to expect every time. It started as just sitting on the side of the tub while she peed. Which could be inconvenient depending on if I was in the middle of something but I didn’t mind too much. But, starting a few months ago she started going number two and also dealing with her period stuff in front of me too. I’ve tried to excuse myself because the sights and smells. But, it hurts her feeling when I do and it always ends up in a fight about something unrelated. So, I’ve been dealing with it to keep the peace. She doesn’t mind if I go on my phone or do something else in the bathroom. But, even so, I just don’t want to witness\/smell\/hear those moments and it’s starting to impact my attraction towards her. I’ve tried talking with her but it seems to be really important to her for whatever reason. WIBTA if I stopped doing this? ######","completion":" Definitely NTA .

I supported her all this time, but ever since she started on her original work(s) she's been extremely wrapped up in it. \n\nShe's barely done anything in the house in quarantine other than writing her book(s) and working.

What great accomplishments do you have to show for the time she wasted on her writing? \n\nBut here’s the biggest thing— you can’t take it back now. To herself, to her fans, she’s a writer with interesting things to say, who creates these wonderful stories.

{"prompt":"I (30 y.o. bisexual male) have been friends with a married couple for a few years now. We’ll call them Jennifer and Anthony. Both of them work in the same industry as me. Jennifer and Anthony are almost 10 years older than me, and established in their careers. Together, they make significantly more money than I do, and they’ve mentors to me at various points in my career. Both are conventionally attractive and aware that I’m bisexual.\n\nWe used to go out to dinner once a week and talk about work as well as personal stuff. I’ve also been to their house several times, and have babysat their kids. However, since the pandemic started, we’ve just been Zooming once a week instead. I enjoy socializing with them and consider them to be among my closest friends.\n\nOn a recent call, however, they said they wanted to discuss the possibility of “something more serious than friendship.”\n\nI immediately got angry. I said that, even though I’m bi, I’m neither a prostitute nor a toy, and I’m certainly not down for threesomes. They said, “No, no, that’s not what we mean,” then told me they were looking a long-term relationship, not a threesome.\n\nI told them that, even if I were down for a polyamorous relationship, it was still unfair of them to expect me to enter a relationship where power is distributed unequally (after all, they’re much wealthier than I am and have been married for a decade, meaning every decision would be them against me). I told them to go fuck themselves and ended the call.\n\nSince then, Jennifer has texted me several times and her husband has texted me once. I haven’t answered.

{"prompt":" So here is the story. Me and a friend went on a restaurant at like 10 o clock. So 5 mins later someone takes our order. 5 mins after that, a big group appears( 8 people and not imidiate family members so they were not allowed to be sited in the first place according to my countries covid regulations) they get sited and they order their food.  15 mins later the waiter comes with their food first, but we ignore it and reason that maybe our food takes longer to prepare. ANYWAY shortly after that, a group of 4 teenage girls get sited behind us. The waiter takes their order and disappears only to reappear 15 mins later with their food and he doesn't fuck off to do his job, no, he stays with them and starts chatting with them for a bit. At this point I get angry and call him to order a side dish and i I say \" i want something to eat while i wait for my food\".\nHe ignores my comment, eventually the side dish arrives before the food we order 1 hour earlier.

So at this point I've had enough, we  gather our things and walk out of there like a gentlemen,  we only left 1 euro for the water me and my friend drank.

So finding out that she used MY money to get ANOTHER tattoo was upsetting for us to hear. \n\nShe was under the impression that offering to pay me back the original $50 makes it her money to be used however she wants. I told her no, it’s still my money, and since I don’t approve of what she’s spending it on I expect her to give me back however much her tattoo cost so I’m not the one paying for it. She hung up on me, and hasn’t answered any of the texts I’ve sent her since.

{"prompt":"So me (31M) and my wife (23f) have been together 3 years, married close to two. We started living together shortly before getting married, and she was super messy. Even before we moved in together house was a total mess. According to her family, they never taught her to clean so she doesn't know better.\n\n\nIt always got on my nerves, but she gradually got less dirty so it was whatever. Well we had a baby recently, and during the pregnancy she actually started to clean here and there. I'd usually comment on it like \"wow, you're actually cleaning!\" Or something of the sort because it was actually a shock. \n\n\nNow, the baby is here and she's recovered and she's actually cleaning a lot every day. The other day she started sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming right after having breakfast, and cleaned the kitchen and the kitchen table then did the dishes. I said something like \"man, I can't believe you're actually cleaning. I guess you finally decided to grow up and stop being a child now that we have an actual child\" she got pissed off and told me to go fuck myself, then went to the room and ignored me pretty much the rest of the day.

{"prompt":"Hello reddit, my husband told me that I was an asshole for the way I acted but I don't think so. Please take a moment to read and share your opinion on this.\n\nMy daughter \\[17F\\] came to me yesterday and told me that she would like to see a therapist as her mental state has been down ever since she broke up with her ex boyfriend and she believes she has a major depressive disorder. Personally, I find it kind of silly to pay $100 just to see a therapist especially considering the fact that it’s completely normal to be upset after a break up. That’s not to say that she doesn’t have a major depressive disorder, but it’s unlikely. I obviously did not tell her that she is not depressed, but I did tell her that almost everyone goes through this moment during a break up and even I did in my teenage years.\n\nMy daughter still insisted that she would love to see one. The thing is, she rarely has open discussions with me, and it took her almost one week to tell me that she broke up with her boyfriend and that was only because I caught her sobbing in her room.\n\nI believe that if she would give me a chance she won’t need another therapist because in the end, no one understands their daughters better than a mother. When I told her this she just said ‘fine’ and left. \n\nI told my husband after I ended the discussion with her and he told me that I was an asshole for the way I acted since our daughter rarely opens to us and this was the chance I had to show her that I am always there for her and (he believes) I failed.

{"prompt":"Soo as many of you have been doing in these times, I’m currently doing work from home. I have a wife and two toddlers (twins). I need silence to work and I don’t have a home office (we are in a smallish apartment, just enough room for the four of us). It has been slowly pissing me off because I am working hours and I hear noises such as my wife talking, watching tv kids playing from the other room. I have been VERY patient with them telling more than once that I need 100% silence to focus but even if they are trying to be “quiet” I still hear some noises (kids, walking around, making food, cleaning etc.). I got fed up with it and told my wife off, I’m the one working in this family and paying for everything. The least they can give me is peace and quiet while I do my job. My wife is a stay at home mom and it’s her job to be silent and shut the kids up. If I don’t have complete silence, I cannot work and therefore could lose my job. My wife on the other hand doesn’t appreciate any of it. When I wasn’t working from home she would ask me to do chores after work and take care of the kids when I am obviously very tired needing to wind down and relax for the night. Then when I’m off on the weekend, I’m still expected to help out. I would remind her that that’s her job as a stay at home mom, but she refuses to listen to me because  “it’s my kids and my home too”. It hurts that she doesn’t appreciate how hard I work or my feelings. I do my part by supporting this family financially, if it wasn’t for me we wouldn’t have a roof over our head, or food to eat. But despite me voicing my feelings she not only has the nerve to disturb my work but also expect me to work more afterwards. My wife is angry at me and refuses to back down.  The worst part? She claimed that *i* don’t appreciate *her*. Honestly, AITA?? I work very hard and I feel like I deserve to have my feelings considered. ######","completion":" YTA\n\nSo much so I wonder if you're trolling. \n\nYou can have total silence at home, *or* a family with young children.

You need a serious reality check.\n\nAlso, if your work is confined to business hours, your wife's should be too. Caring for kids is work, you seem to have missed that. And the reason you are able to work full time is because your wife is stepping up to care for your children, for free I might add. She isn't your maid. You still need to do household chores and upkeep. Just like childfree and single working people do. You cannot demand to restrict your work to 40 hours a week and keep your wife working on-call as an indentured servant 24\/7.\n\nFinally, your wife is right. You don't appreciate her. If you maintain this attitude, she will likely and justifiably leave you for someone who does appreciate her and her contributions to your family.\n\nYou sound extremely entitled and like you have a lot if learning to do. ######"}

She was very hesitant to clarify, only continuing to emphasize that she'd like me to be \"supportive.\"  Now, I know what this means.

But then COVID hit, and she wasn’t able to make an appointment to go in.\nNow, I have a friend who does hair, and while I admittedly hadn’t thought about doing my hair this color until my little sister kept mentioning it, I also wanted to be brave like my little sister always had been, and I asked my friend to do my hair.\nMy little sister is livid. She can’t believe I would ‘steal’ her idea, and she said she was sorry I never had the confidence to do stuff like this, but I could have at least gone for a darker shade of purple. She did say all of this very calmly, but she felt the need to remind me that she was constantly compared to me growing up, and her personal style was developed to help at least make the ‘disappointment’ intentional, and while it may be silly that she is so upset, as the ‘favored’ older sister, I wouldn’t understand.\nMy mom says she’s just overreacting and being childish, but I’m starting to think my mom ‘always being on my side’ has added to my little sisters frustration.\nTLDR: Little sister feels like I’m trying to creep in on her style, when she’s always been the ‘alternative’ one, and I’ve always been the more mainstream one. ######","completion":" YTA\n\nI'm an oldest sister and my little sis is 2 yrs younger than me.\n\nShe has always had so much more bravery with her style than I ever had.

My girlfriend and i have always been careful using condoms and birth control and i've even thought about having a vasectomy but can't currently afford it. So with this out of the way my girlfriend is pregnant. She found out last week and was clearly very excited and was bummed out by my reaction i told her i didn't want to have a child and had no interest in being a father. She yelled at me and called me a lot of different expletives and then ran away. During the last week her brother and father have threatened me with legal cases and physical violence and my parents are threatening to kick me out of the house if i don't take responsibility. My girlfriend and i had never talked about kids considering how young we are so she had no idea about my disgust at the idea of having children and i had no idea about her dreams of a large family i just don't think it's fair that after taking every precaution within my means im now forced to financially support a child for 18 years that i don't want.

At which point you have no choice in what happens next, since *it isn't happening in your body*. Which is why you don't get to pull this shit:\n\n> my girlfriend could easily terminate the pregnancy with a pill at this point if she wanted.\n\nYou don't get to dictate what someone else does with their body. If guys want to be 100% sure that they don't have an unwanted child, the only surefire way is to not have sex. And if women want to make 100% sure they don't have an unwanted child (and they live in a reasonable country that respects women's bodily autonomy) then they have more options because they bear the burden of bearing children. This is the hand nature dealt. You played the game, and now that you've lost you need to pay up. ######"}

I work 12 hour shifts 3 days a week (2 days on weekdays) so I told him my plan is to put my little one in day care from 7 am to 7 pm while I work and my 11 year old can stay home alone or go to his aunts.  He is used to staying home by himself and takes himself to school when he had in class school.\n\nHowever my ex says I am being an ass by not keeping our current schedule where the kids are with him Saturday - Wednesday because he claims my 11 year\nold doesn’t do well with his school work by himself and that it makes no sense to throw my 4 year old into day care that long when he could be with his dad.\n\nI am their mother and they belong with me, going to school here where I live.  This is the only way I can make it work since I do have to make a living since my ex abandoned us.

{"prompt":"So I’m curious about the general consensus on this. I have a sister in law Jane, who I have a hot and cold relationship with. She can be very judgmental and righteous, but I don’t totally hate her. Jane’s commented in the past that my marriage makes her uncomfortable. Now I was the bitchiest sense of humor, and the first time I really thought my current husband might be *the one* was when I realized literally nothing I said offended him.\n\nI lost a bet the other day, so my punishment was doing whatever he wanted for the day, and since my husband is a complete asshole, I knew it wasn’t going to be fun. Well I ended up in a French maid costume, but still it could have been worse, just bringing him what he wanted, and getting on my knees to profess my undying love (I have serious issues with saying nice things), and lots of massages. Anyway Jane showed up unannounced, which isn’t a big deal in our family, and wanted to hang out while she waited for her son at the doctor.\n\nI explained the costume, but she looked kind of uncomfortable. So my husband just likes to piss me off, so every time I sat down he wanted something else. Jane looked super uncomfortable at this point, but I’m the dumbass who made the bet. Jane finally said she was leaving, and I asked if her son was done. She said no, but we have a gross relationship and this is some weird emotional abuse. I did text her that I was sorry if she was uncomfortable, but my husband maintains that I am not the asshole in this situation ######","completion":" YTA.\n\nYour relationship with your husband is your business.  I find the whole bet thing weird, but you do you.  Where you become the asshole is continuing this in front of your family.  The 'French Maid Costume' is a stereotypical kink thing as is dominance\/submission.  You guys were essentially doing heavy foreplay in front of family.  Not cool. \n\nSince you say unannounced drop ins are the norm in your family SIL gets a pass.  If not it would be ESH. ######"}
{"prompt":"For context, I (22F) recently started a postgraduate degree in the UK, which due to COVID I was able to get in without sending official documents to prove I had met the requirements for the course. Instead I was able to send the university scanned copies of my certificates over email. I was not aware that I would need to show them the real documents once I began my course.\n\nI have now begun the course and they have now  asked us to provide the original documentation (specifically my undergraduate degree certificate), which I left in the US. I messaged my brother (25M) who currently works in the US to mail me my original degree. At the post office they informed him that the delivery time would be 21 business days. He assumed this would be way too long of a delivery time, so ended up sending it with UPS instead for a shorter delivery time but it ended up costing $150, which I didn’t ask for. It’s literally a piece of paper, I have no idea how it’s costing that much, but he now expects me to pay him for that delivery cost. I told my parents that I couldn’t afford the price, and they said that it was my brother’s own fault for spending that much on delivery and that I shouldn’t have to reimburse him for that, but I still feel really guilty that I don’t want to pay him back for the delivery because he thought he was doing me a favour. \n\nWIBTA If I didn’t pay him back on the grounds that I didn’t ask for it to be sent with UPS for that much money? ######","completion":" YTA.\n\nYour brother did you a huge favour, and made sure you got the document as soon as possible, to benefit you.

I'm extremely close with them, but with COVID we've hardly seen each other this summer. \n\nOur city is on the verge of being locked down again, and with the cold weather imminent, it might be a while before I see my friends again. So I told my gf, hey the guys might be hanging later, what If I skip the movie? She was annoyed, but said she would consider letting me go. So we dropped it and continued our date. We're walking around the mountain to get to the lookout, and I'll admit I was walking faster to end the date sooner, but she was also walking considerably slower, almost as if to keep me from going.\n\nAnyways once we get home, I say ok I'm leaving to meet my friends (30 minutes away in the suburbs) and that we could have sex when I get back. She is shocked and immediately gets upset because I never confirmed I was going. I said yeah I told you earlier, but she claims she was joking and didn't think I would actually leave. \n\nSo I leave (9:30 pm) to meet my friends. Good times, beers in the park, but I eventually lose track of time and only get back at 2:00 am. Definitely too late for sex.

K, on the other hand, was never very good at school or at focusing, and his grades were never above a B. \n\nMy wife and I both work full time, and we were very nervous that K would not perform well in online school.

He was talking about        training his number sense, and he complained that numbers \"always came easily to him\" and that he couldn't teach it. I told him that he was being arrogant, and that there was no need to flaunt his intelligence. I got kind of carried away and yelled at him that he doesn't deserve his success because his smarts are due only to his good genetics, not through hard work. He asked me what more he could do, saying that his grades were all 100 or more. I called him a liar. And he became extremely upset and locked himself in his room. \n\nToday, R came downstairs as me and my wife were talking about K's suddenly better test scores. R commented, saying \"He's got the right idea, setting the bar low\". I asked him what he meant, and he said \"He meets the bare minimum of expectations, and he gets praise like he cured polio.

I’ve seem her be physically affectionate with her stepdaughter in the past and it really bothers me. I said I thought no one was allowed to touch you. We ended up fighting and I said I just wanted to know why hugged her stepdaughter.\n\nMy MIL started sobbing and that’s a big deal because this woman never shows emotion.

{"prompt":"So my sister and her wife were together for five years. They got a sperm donor last year and my sister got pregnant. When they were in the beginning stages of considering pregnancy, advised my sister to let her wife be the one to carry the baby or have her wife’s egg implanted in her. \n\n\nI said that because two years ago her wife cheated and they went to couples therapy and worked through it. Her wife cheated after my sister got in a car accident and was overwhelmed. A baby is overwhelming and if her wife were to jump shit, my sister would be left a single mother. Having her wife carry the baby or having my sister carry the baby with her wife’s egg ensures that even if they were to end things, her wife still has responsibility. \n\n\nMy sister snapped and said to mind my own business. She was gonna carry the baby with her egg and the sperm donors sperm. I said okay... \n\n\nWell surprise surprise. She’s five months pregnant and her wife caught a flight to Vegas and has been MIA for two weeks. My sister is in hysterics.

Irene said it sounds fun and she’s excited for our weekend together, but I told her it wasn’t a good idea. \n\nI asked what if something happened to her daughter while she was gone, or needed to leave immediately. She said her boyfriend can handle their daughter and if she absolutely needs to leave she’ll take an Uber.

Irene got a bit upset and said she just wanted to have fun with us, and the last time she did anything of that sort was around 2 years ago, and she’s allowed to have fun even though she has a child. I responded with just “irresponsible parent” and she left the group chat. \n\nMy other 2 friends flipped out on me and said I should’ve just kept my mouth shut, and that Irene knows how to take care of her daughter, and Irene would never do anything that would put her daughter in danger.

She is twice divorced with kids from each ex, so a lot of guys will view her as damaged goods. It's not because there is anything wrong with her per se, but it's a lot of baggage to bring into a new relationship.

She proceeded to gaslight me, aggressively telling me that I should be fine with it, that it isn't a big deal, and that she's going up to her room in a bit anyway. I then went to get myself some food, and as she was still just sitting there, I started to get angry because of my discomfort and asked her again to go up to her room and put some clothes on because I was seriously uncomfortable. It has been about 5 minutes at this point, and she gets up and starts yelling at me and continues the gaslighting.

He looked incredibly sad everyday for about the next month and every time I asked he would say nothing was wrong, eventually I asked him how he’d feel about going to back therapy and he said he felt like he was doing fine and he didn’t want me to worry about it. Last weekend he went to work while I cleaned the house. When I got to his room, I found a small notebook hidden under his bed. \n\nI knew I shouldn’t open it but something came over me, I kept thinking about what if he wrote about trying again and he succeeds, what if somethings hurting him and he needs a safe place to talk but is scared, what if he needs me. So I opened it and read back too the start of this year, I found out the issue and brought it up to my wife. She was not happy about what I did, she told me I invaded his privacy and that I needed to put the diary back. I did so and I haven’t brought up what I saw in it to him.

{"prompt":"Around the holidays, I got my friend and I tickets to a broadway show for January, as my gift to her. She was apparently excited to go.\n\nThen a week before the production, I got very sick. I went to the doctor and got diagnosed with the flu.

She told me to feel better.\n\nDay after the show, I texted “how was the show?” No response. In fact, radio silence for a week. No telling me how it was, no thanking me for the tickets, no telling me how anything in the city was. Not even saying anything else which wasn’t like her at all.

After an entire week, I replied, “guess it wasn’t that good or else you would’ve replied haha”.\n\nShe finally responded two days later and said “Hey I’m sorry. I ended up falling asleep and not going to the show. I didn’t know how to tell you.”\n\nI was upset. The show was at 7 pm, early, not like she’d have to leave late. The tickets weren’t cheap and my friend does stuff like this a lot. She’ll be irresponsible and then refuse to own up to it.

The entire estate essentially breaks even except for one property, which was willed to my daughter. \n\nBasically put, he invested in a luxury hotel chain that was supposed to have a residential portion. He did this in exchange for a unit in the building. He mostly did it to help out his friend, and didn't understand the true value of what he was buying as he thought all cities were \"trash\". The residential portion didn't quite pan out, but he still received ownership of a unit.  \n\nThis unit is essentially a one bedroom apartment, complete with a full kitchen. Due to a combination of zoning, grandfathering, and the deal made, it would only cost her $500 a month to live there, utilities and taxes included, with access to all hotel amenities and services (including daily housekeeping if desired and car service), in a major city. \n\nIt's an amazing deal, would save her so much money, and help her situation, but I don't think she should take it.

I obviously did not tell her that she is not depressed, but I did tell her that almost everyone goes through this moment during a break up and even I did in my teenage years.\n\nMy daughter still insisted that she would love to see one. The thing is, she rarely has open discussions with me, and it took her almost one week to tell me that she broke up with her boyfriend and that was only because I caught her sobbing in her room.\n\nI believe that if she would give me a chance she won’t need another therapist because in the end, no one understands their daughters better than a mother. When I told her this she just said ‘fine’ and left. \n\nI told my husband after I ended the discussion with her and he told me that I was an asshole for the way I acted since our daughter rarely opens to us and this was the chance I had to show her that I am always there for her and (he believes) I failed. I on the other hand think I acted pretty reasonable with her. What do you guys think? ######","completion":" YTA. Your daughter wants a therapist. You sound completely unequipped to be one, based on the way you talk about her in this post. She wants to talk to someone who’s not you.

{"prompt":"My husband and I (60s) had already made arrangements to keep our 10yr old granddaughter (Lauren-not her real name) for 2 weeks this summer.  This isn't new.  Her and our daughter, her mom (D), have lived with us off and on for financial reasons and the father isn't at all involved.  We are very close with Lauren.  And D lets us know she appreciates the bond we have with our granddaughter.\n\nThe issue is D has changed her mind about letting Lauren come visit us (in a different state where we live and they used to live) at all.  She said after going to therapy she doesn't want to continue to sweep some things from her childhood under the rug anymore and wants us to own up to a lot of things.  She said she deals with the negative impact of her childhood every day and has been working hard in therapy.  She is very angry at me for fostering the negative relationship she and her siblings always had with their father (until they were 18 and older and he lightened up).  I basically made him out to be a bit of a monster to keep them in line.  He was home every single night and worked hard for us but I agree, was completely emotionally unavailable.  He treated them more like maids than his actual children, even calling them \"dishwashers\" instead of their actual names sometimes. We ask Lauren to do chores sometimes but we really do treat her like a princess.  The issue almost seems like we treat her too well!  D said we shouldn't be rewarded with all this time with her daughter when we won't own up to a lot of things in her and her siblings childhood.  I actually don't totally disagree with her but my husband is much more oblivious.  I don't think we can own up to what she wants us to own up to.  She mentioned WAY MORE than what I've told you here, but it hurts to admit it and I'm not sure of the word count I'm allowed here.  I had a horrible relationship with my mother growing up but I got over it and now we have a great relationship!  Is she the AH or are we? ######","completion":" YTA.

We were at a family dinner with a few extended relatives who i don't know that well, and my daughter said she is considering a degree in music or a degree in nursing. I told her that she should seriously think about nursing because it is difficult to make money with a degree in music.\n\nMy MIL piped in (she went to one of the best conservatories in the country) and told me that is a ridiculous argument, when she has had to save me from bankruptcy twice.

Also my MIL does something super niche and makes serious money, but I said it is difficult to make money, not impossible and I consider her an outlier.\n\nI told her that it's rude to bring up money in front of people and MIL said i better not end up bankrupt a third time, because she is sick of us.

Its fine for the both of us.\n\n&amp;#x200B;\n\nA few days ago I came back from work to see another man, near my GFs age, sitting at the kitchen table. She introduced him as her old friend from highschool she ran into at the market. I was suspicious and made him leave, and told her not to bring friends over, especially male ones, without letting me know. \n\nA few days later, he was back. She said he just dropped by and she appreciated the company, as she spends most of her time inside. I let it go and he was there almost every day after work. It annoyed me  alot because I wanted to spend time with my girlfriend. We had a argument and she said she was lonely and just liked a friend. I told her I give her everything she needs to be happy and she can handle the day alone til I come back. She said she didnt want me to be the only thing in her life, and I told her if she didnt want to listen to me, she could get out of my home. She broke up with me before she left and lives with her friend now. I feel bad but it seems like her \"friend\" was trying to become more than friends.\n\nAITA? I miss her and I've been eating takeout since she left ######","completion":" YTA. You're trying to control your (ex)girlfriend's interactions with people when you admit already that she doesn't have many friends. Your \"give her everything she needs to be happy and she can handle the day alone til I come back\" line reads as a massive abuser. I'm glad she had the strength to be able to break up with you because you sound like a manipulative bastard. ######"}
{"prompt":"I teach high school chemistry, but also a few introductory classes at the college. This occurred in the fall semester. Recently, some other science professors and I gathered for the fourth and were discussing students who weren't meant for college and were obviously forced by parents. I told them this situation, in which I was given mixed feedback on. Some say I'm an ass, some say no.\n\nI had a student, Jane, in my night class. She was very shy, didn't work very hard and was obviously failing my class. Whenever she asked for help she was very clumsy, stammering. I believe she may have had a speech disorder, along with some confident issues.\n\nHalfway through the course, I ask a simple question on an element and call on Jane to answer. She freezes up and doesn't say anything. I hint towards the correct answer, until I'm finally telling her. Most of the class is staring at her now and she whispers can you please stop staring at me.\n\nA few kids snicker. A little frustrated, I blurt out 'They're laughing and staring Jane because it's so absurd  you can answer questions on first term material.'\n\nShe excused herself to the bathroom, came back looking as if she had been crying and dropped the class that same day. I don't know what happened to her. I was mean, but not over the line. To pass my class you need to be focused. ######","completion":" YTA. You're supposed to teach students, not humiliate them.

{"prompt":"So this happened pre corona, around January. My sister hasn’t spoken to me since then and I honestly feel like she’s dragging this out. All because I wasn’t on her side during the divorce. \n\n\nSo what happened was she attended a work event with her husband. It was a party and everyone brought their spouses. She was  pregnant so she wasn’t drinking. Her husband got pretty drunk and she saw him and another coworker flirt, her exact words were “His hands were on her waist and her hands were on his lower thighs”. They were dancing really close and whispering to each other smiling. My sister got upset and left the party in tears. \n\n\nShe went home and and packed her bags and called me asking if she could stay with me and wife for a few weeks as she gathered herself together as she was planning to divorce her husband. I told her to calm down and she told me the full story and I told her that she’s overreacting and pregnancy hormones are why she’s pissed. \n\nI don’t consider this cheating and it’s something they can work through. To divorce other this? He was dancing with someone else. That’s not that serious. Plus you can’t just crash at my house for a few weeks because your husband smiled at another woman. She started crying and said I’m a horrible brother and she wishes our parents weren’t dead. I told her not to manipulate me and she blocked me. \n\n\nIt’s been so long and we haven’t spoken. She’s had the baby and she’s separated from her husband and she lets my wife and daughters come see the baby but not me. Was I really that wrong? If it was physical cheating then I could’ve understood but her story just isn’t enough for such a drastic reaction in my opinion. ######","completion":" YTA. You're not obligated to give her a place to stay, but she's well within her right to leave her husband for any reason, up to and including \"I didn't want to be married to him any more.\" Blaming her choices on \"pregnancy hormones\" is really insulting. \n\nWhat's more, I bet dollars to doughnuts this was a \"straw that broke the camel's back\" situation, and your sister has been putting up with bullshit from her husband for a while. ######"}
{"prompt":"So I’m in college, and in the US we have a program called ROTC at most colleges and it’s kinda like a fast track to commissioning into the military. To be in the program, there are pretty strict physical fitness and BMI requirements to go further than halfway through the program. \n\nLast month on of my friends from high school told me she was thinking about joining, and asked me for my help about planning her schedule around it. In the program, we have physical training 3 mornings a week which, for someone who doesn’t work out regularly, could be very intense. So I warned her that if she wants to join, she needs to start working out, eating right and losing weight. The exact words I texted her were, “So our workouts can be pretty intense for people that don’t ever work out. So you need to eat a lot healthier than you do now and start regularly working out so you can slim down, because your BMI is probably too high right now”. And she left me on read. I texted her to ask what’s up and still left me on read. I hadn’t heard from her until last week when our mutual friend texted me telling me that I needed to apologize to her. I of course asked why and she told me that I had really hurt her feelings. I felt bad but I told the mutual friend, that I told her what she needed to hear and what she needed to get into the habit of changing if she was serious about joining. Am I the Asshole? ######","completion":" YTA. You're in ROTC, right? Then you should know that no matter what you weigh, they'll push you to finish.\n\nI remember my brother talking about his first day at ROTC. A friend brought him along, and he remembers running to the side and vomiting during the pushups, because he wasn't used to so much exercise. And he said he was by far not the only one.\n\nBut guess what? He did just fine and now he's a Major in the army.\n\nEven if you're not in great physical shape, ROTC GETS you in great physical shape. To me it sounds like you just used this opportunity to make a jab about your friends weight. ######"}
{"prompt":"2 years ago my wife got talking to a woman online in a random Facebook group. They both noticed they had the same breed of dog and got talking. Turns out we live 30 mins from her. I didn't think anything of it but after 6 months they decided to meet up. By this point my wife knew her friend was autistic and her friend said she'd have to bring her mum with her to meet up until she felt more comfortable. I didn't think anything of the fact she was autistic and thought they wouldn't meet up again. I was wrong. \n\nSince then they meet up at least once a week and at least four times a month she comes to our house. When I first met her it felt like she didn't like me as she wouldn't laugh at jokes, avoided eye contact and just seemed distant. I told my wife this after her friend had left and she basically said 'well duh she's autistic, go read up on it'. I thought things would get better as time went on but it hasn't. I feel awkward and uncomfortable the whole time she's in my house and I honestly don't see what my wife sees in her as a friend. \n\nWhen they go out together everything has to be preplanned days in advanced, my wife calls ahead to restraunts to ask them if it's possible to turn the music down and she takes days off work to take her friend to doctors appointments. When I hear them laughing it's usually at something that isn't even funny and just odd to laugh at. \n\nAll I want is my house back. I work hard and want to come home and relax at the end of the day but she's often here until 10pm on the days that she's over and even worse she sleeps over occasionally. I've asked my wife for them to meet at her friends house instead but apparently her friend isn't comfortable with anyone but her mum in her home yet she thinks it's perfectly acceptable to make herself at home in my home.\n\nMy wife said she's getting sick of my complaining and I should just go out for a bit or to my parents house on those days if it's such a big deal ######","completion":" YTA. You're ignoring the fact that your wife DOES want to be friends with this person. Your dislike is largely based on how offputting your find the symptoms of autism. You're taking it personally that she's avoiding eye contact and seeming distant. That's kind of like taking it personally that a person in a wheelchair won't stand up for you or that a person from another country has an accent that you find offputting.\n\nIf you're uncomfortable with the amount of time your wife is having friends over or you don't like having other people sleep over, that's something to discuss with your wife. But you need to do it from the point of view that she's allowed to have friends and that you're not against her friendship and you want her needs to be met as well as yours. You can discuss these issues with your wife, but you need to drop the part where you don't like her friend for such stupid reasons.\n\nAlso, your wife is right, you should probably read up on autism. ######"}
{"prompt":"So we’re a month-ish into school now (I’m a sophomore), and in history class, we were all paired up to do a group project. The people in the group were (it becomes relevant) two Indians (including me), one white guy, and a black girl. \n\nAfter the class, I was talking to some people who are in that class, and one of them told me that he was pretty sure the groups were assembled according to the grade you have in the class— each group gets one person with an a, one with a b, one with a c, and one with a d or f. That way, no one group is OP or something.\n\nI thought about it, and it made sense to me. I don’t know everyone’s grade exactly, but I did generally know who was doing bad or good, and each group seemed to have a balance, so even if it wasn’t as much of a strict formula as my friend said, the teacher did divide is generally based off how well we did. \n\nWe all were speculating who the D\/F students were, and I said it was probably *insert name of the group member that was black*. I know I have an A, and I know she isn’t doing that well— the teacher always makes everyone participate in class by asking them questions, and whenever he asks her, she’s behind or has the wrong answer. Both the other members of my group seem to do alright, so it’s a reasonable assumption that she’s the one with the bad grade.\n\nI explained this, but someone got pissed and said I just thought that because she was black instead of asian or white. It wasn’t that deep, really— she just is bad at history compared to the other two, so I said she was likely the one with the worst grade. Has nothing to do with race.\n\nAITA? ######","completion":" YTA. You weren’t being racist, but you and your friends were being very much AHs by discussing who’s the worst student.

She said that I was the one who kept telling her to gain confidence and kept shoving pictures of my friends in her face all the time and it made her feel worthless and not good enough. I told her that I didn’t mean to show her body to everybody - she argued she was never revealing her body in a provocative way.

We asked one of his daycare providers, B, to watch him for 5 hours, from 1-6 since I had to work. B knows he’s an easy kid and she knows him well, so she went with a lower charge, and we agreed on $50 for the whole time. It wasn’t discussed in terms of hours, rather we agreed that $50 for the time she was there was sufficient. \n\nWell, there ended up being a situation at work that prevented me from getting home at 6, so I wasn’t able to relieve her until around 6:45. My husband works from 11 AM to 8 PM, so him relieving her was out of the question.\n\nWhen I got there, she seem to be in a hurry to get out of the house. I understand that I was late, but as a person who works with kids and their parents, she is well aware that things come up. I handed her a $50 bill and she thanked me, but asked for $7 more. I told her that she got the 50 she agreed on, but she said that since I was 45 mins late and I was paying her $10 an hour, she had earned $7 more for an extra 45 mins. I told her that’s not what we agreed on. We agreed on $50, and it shouldn’t matter that I was late because we didn’t discuss it in terms of hours. She argued that I agreed I would be home at six and didn’t adhere to that either, but it’s an entirely different story. \n\n\nI ended up only giving her $50 and showing her out of the house.

I've tried talking to her about it and asking if she wants to get therapist but she just asks like I'm crazy and blows me off.\n\nThis came to a head yesterday when Elly was telling me how she was excited to see her friends at the beach this weekend. She also did the thing again and went on about how she's also nervous them and her crush seeing her in a swimsuit since she's so \"fat and disgusting\" (again she's not even close to fat, she's not even overweight). At this point I was done, so I said joking \"yeah that's tough, but maybe if you tried eating less you wouldn't have this problem\". Elly literally started crying for some reason, and just stormed off. \n\nLater in, she told my wife what happened, and she was pissed at me. She told me I was cruel to our daughter and that I should apologize. I refused and told her (and Elly later) that I was teaching Elly an important lesson, that her sulking like this is very off putting and that her peers are going to find this off putting.\n\nWe're still fighting about this, AITA? ######","completion":" YTA. You told your daughter she's fat and ugly, you're an asshole no matter the reason.\n\nThe adult, mature, good parent way to handle this would be to have a conversation with her about how you're concerned about her self-image issues, reinforce that you think she's beautiful blah blah blah but it's not healthy for her to be looking for constant reassurance, etc...\n\nBut no, you just got tired of it and said she's fat. ######"}
{"prompt":"I (22f) have a younger sister who is 19. When we were both young teenagers, we went through a lot, and our dad ended up leaving. Our mom turned to drugs and alcohol, and my sister and I responded completely differently. I threw myself into my academics and school work, and my sister went down the same path as our mom. \n\nTwo years ago, our mom OD’d and my sister had a major wake up call. She vowed to never touch a single drug again and went completely cold turkey. She had bad withdrawals for a while but eventually completely got her life back together. She went to college, got a good job, all that. \n\nOver the past five months or so, I’ve noticed a massive change in my sister. She was suddenly really withdrawn, and always seemed high. I had seen her in a constant state of euphoria for years, and just thought deep down that she was using again. I’m really anxious when it comes to the well-being of my family, so broke down to my boyfriend and asked him what to do. I later decided that night that I would create a fake Tinder account and talk to my sister, in the hopes of finding out what was going on. I knew she had tinder and we quickly matched. \n\nOur conversations turned deep pretty quickly, with her opening up to “me” about our past and her addictions etc. This was over a few days which I felt guilty about but I wanted to find out what was going on. She told me that she’d been fighting cravings for a while, but knew that she’d never go back after seeing our mom. I slowly ghosted her until we didn’t talk anymore. \n\nI ended up having a conversation with my sister a couple days later and told her about the profile I made to find out, she absolutely flipped her shit and couldn’t believe that I didn’t trust her after she insisted she was never going to do it again.

{"prompt":"I love my daughter, but I never really wanted kids and never liked them all that much. My ex wife did, and because I was young and in love I decided to have a child with her. I do not for one second regret my decision. My daughter has brought much joy to my life and made me a better person, but I gave up a lot of myself in order to give her a good childhood and life. I'm not saying this because I feel I deserve a medal or sympathy, but I was relieved when she started to get older and more independent because I gradually began to get my life back.\n\nMy daughter is now in her late 20s and had her first child this year. I am very happy for her, but I just don't have any interest in being a grandfather. I was never much of a kid person, and becoming a parent hasn't changed that. I did my duty to her and feel I've done as much as was expected or required of me. Anything now is bonus and optional, and I am opting out. \n\nI didn't come right out and tell my daughter this, but after she kept trying to have me come to her house or bring the baby over to mine and I kept declining, she knew something was wrong. I told her the truth, and she didn't take it well. \n\nMy daughter thinks I am being an asshole by \"shirking\" my duties as a grandfather. My ex wife agrees and says I am being selfish and that by signing up for parenthood I was also signing up for grandparenthood. They also feel this is even more true in my case since my grandson's paternal grandfather is dead.\n\nI disagree in both cases.

You ARE free to engage as little as you want with your grandson, but that doesn't mean you're free from being called an asshole for it. If you don't want to babysit, fine, let her know you're not comfortable with that. But viewing her and her baby as a burden to even visit or get to know is of course going to upset her. ######"}

She wouldn't give him a single penny of it. I thought that was very harsh given everything my son has done for her, even taking her places she needs to go in that very car, so it was the least she could do.

{"prompt":"Soo as many of you have been doing in these times, I’m currently doing work from home. I have a wife and two toddlers (twins). I need silence to work and I don’t have a home office (we are in a smallish apartment, just enough room for the four of us). It has been slowly pissing me off because I am working hours and I hear noises such as my wife talking, watching tv kids playing from the other room. I have been VERY patient with them telling more than once that I need 100% silence to focus but even if they are trying to be “quiet” I still hear some noises (kids, walking around, making food, cleaning etc.). I got fed up with it and told my wife off, I’m the one working in this family and paying for everything. The least they can give me is peace and quiet while I do my job. My wife is a stay at home mom and it’s her job to be silent and shut the kids up. If I don’t have complete silence, I cannot work and therefore could lose my job. My wife on the other hand doesn’t appreciate any of it. When I wasn’t working from home she would ask me to do chores after work and take care of the kids when I am obviously very tired needing to wind down and relax for the night. Then when I’m off on the weekend, I’m still expected to help out. I would remind her that that’s her job as a stay at home mom, but she refuses to listen to me because  “it’s my kids and my home too”. It hurts that she doesn’t appreciate how hard I work or my feelings. I do my part by supporting this family financially, if it wasn’t for me we wouldn’t have a roof over our head, or food to eat. But despite me voicing my feelings she not only has the nerve to disturb my work but also expect me to work more afterwards. My wife is angry at me and refuses to back down.  The worst part? She claimed that *i* don’t appreciate *her*. Honestly, AITA?? I work very hard and I feel like I deserve to have my feelings considered. ######","completion":" YTA.

Now I was the bitchiest sense of humor, and the first time I really thought my current husband might be *the one* was when I realized literally nothing I said offended him.\n\nI lost a bet the other day, so my punishment was doing whatever he wanted for the day, and since my husband is a complete asshole, I knew it wasn’t going to be fun. Well I ended up in a French maid costume, but still it could have been worse, just bringing him what he wanted, and getting on my knees to profess my undying love (I have serious issues with saying nice things), and lots of massages. Anyway Jane showed up unannounced, which isn’t a big deal in our family, and wanted to hang out while she waited for her son at the doctor.\n\nI explained the costume, but she looked kind of uncomfortable. So my husband just likes to piss me off, so every time I sat down he wanted something else. Jane looked super uncomfortable at this point, but I’m the dumbass who made the bet.

At first he didn’t take me seriously and asked to see the bottle. When he googled it and found out what it was he unnecessarily flipped out. \n\nNow he’s upset. He says I “drugged” him and keeps using the word “drugged” even after I told him that makes me uncomfortable because didn’t slip him anything and he consented to have sex. \n\nI confided in my friend about this and she’s taking his side on this and saying he could sue for that. I don’t believe this and I honestly don’t see how it’s a big deal. It’s like if I ate pot brownies without knowing they had pot in them. I wouldn’t be claiming that I was drugged by whoever made them. \n\nIt wouldn’t have made a difference if he knew and it’s not like he got hurt or I violated him in anyway.

You say in the first sentence that you don’t do your chores on time.

Show some respect for the people you live with and do your chores on time or pay the fine. ######"}

She said that she wanted to prove to herself and her parents that she is a capable person if she could \"lower her head down\" and do \"this kind of job\" without a single complaint.\n\n\nI am not sure what other people thinks, but to me I sense an undeniable arrogance in her speech which triggered me off. Not starting a sob story but I am definitely not as privileged as her and the reason I am working there is because I had no other options. \n\n\nI kind of snappishly told her that she shouldn't be flattering herself. She is not \"lowering\" her head because she isn't any better than us, like, in terms of education level we are the same, if not just a little higher than a 15 year old right now. I told her that if she truly wanted to train herself she should start by thinking of us as equals.\n\n\nThe conversation ended in an awkward tone as she got red and walked off. The girl did not turn up later at all and she has actually gone home and quit the job without bothering to get paid. \n\n\nThe other colleagues said that I am being too harsh on a teenager who has a positive mentality and instead of encouraging her, I was a bitch. I admit,  my words slipped and I was indeed bitter for a moment, but I do think that she needs to know that we are not inferior, and we should nip that thought in the bud.

{"prompt":"Soo as many of you have been doing in these times, I’m currently doing work from home. I have a wife and two toddlers (twins). I need silence to work and I don’t have a home office (we are in a smallish apartment, just enough room for the four of us). It has been slowly pissing me off because I am working hours and I hear noises such as my wife talking, watching tv kids playing from the other room. I have been VERY patient with them telling more than once that I need 100% silence to focus but even if they are trying to be “quiet” I still hear some noises (kids, walking around, making food, cleaning etc.). I got fed up with it and told my wife off, I’m the one working in this family and paying for everything. The least they can give me is peace and quiet while I do my job. My wife is a stay at home mom and it’s her job to be silent and shut the kids up. If I don’t have complete silence, I cannot work and therefore could lose my job. My wife on the other hand doesn’t appreciate any of it. When I wasn’t working from home she would ask me to do chores after work and take care of the kids when I am obviously very tired needing to wind down and relax for the night. Then when I’m off on the weekend, I’m still expected to help out. I would remind her that that’s her job as a stay at home mom, but she refuses to listen to me because  “it’s my kids and my home too”. It hurts that she doesn’t appreciate how hard I work or my feelings. I do my part by supporting this family financially, if it wasn’t for me we wouldn’t have a roof over our head, or food to eat.

However, she feels that since she is my wife it's different and I am being an asshole by ignoring her calls. She says that since she doesn't call often unless it's important and we have kids I should pick up unless I'm truly busy. Her argument is that it could be an emergency and I'd never know (she could always text or call my workplace so I don't think this is a good argument). \n\nI don't agree at all with her view that I should pick up unless I'm busy. For one thing I believe a lunch break counts as being busy. I don't like to be bothered while I am eating, and I don't think there's anything unreasonable about wanting to relax on break. I also disagree with her claim that she only calls me when it's important. There have been plenty of times where she's called me about trivial things or to shoot the breeze. That's fine but I don't always want to talk. Sometimes I just want to focus on whatever I'm doing or not doing.

It's Saturday, it's busy, I have 3 cashiers and Shannon running food and bussing. We're running low on certain ingredients so I send her back to the kitchen to prep. In the kitchen I have my cooks, all guys. There's Joe who is known as the crew's asshole. He can be mean, jokingly, but it goes too far sometimes and we managers gotta step in and redirect him. I wasn't thinking anything bad would happen. I thought Joe would be too busy cooking. Peaking in on the kitchen every few minutes Joe is cracking jokes about Shannon right in front of her. I tell him to focus on his work. I don't know when but 30 mins in I find Shannon in back crying in the utility closest. Most days I'd take her to the side and talk to her but most days we aren't getting slammed and I'm getting chewed out by customers. I ask her simply if it's because of Joe's comments. She says yes. I tell her okay, either she gets back out front, we discuss this later or she can leave and take a write up. She tells me she just needs 5 minutes. No. I need her out there now and seeing as she wasn't doing anything I tell her to get out.\n\nI discussed it later with both my store manager and assistant manager.

The poor thing was clearly in pain and was not going to make it. I told her to put the dog in my car and we drove to the vet.\n\nThe vet said he could save him but he’d need medication and specific care for the rest of his life. That’s not quality of life, plus it was expensive. My girlfriend said yes and we left the dog for the night so the vet could treat him.\n\nIt just doesn’t make any sense to me. The dog was like 13 or 14 years old, and my girlfriend doesn’t have the money to care for an elderly pet.

So our 11 year old daughter has shared a room with us for most of her life. We've always tried to quarter it off a bit with a separator.\n\nLast year my two middle children (m\/f) were deadset on going to \"High School\" in Sweden. My parents (their grandparents) live in Sweden and were willing to take them in. My eldest son moved out years prior, so that left just our youngest with us. At the time we were living in a three bedroom apartment.\n\nWhen they moved out we let our youngest daughter have her own room, and she was ecstatic. This was her first time having her own room. After around four months, due to rent increases and since it was just the three of us, we decided to downsize to a two bedroom apartment. Our daughter visited the apartment with us and loved what would be her new room.\n\nShortly before we moved apartments (after signing the lease) our son (17m) had a change of heart about High School and wanted to come home.

I told her to calm down and she told me the full story and I told her that she’s overreacting and pregnancy hormones are why she’s pissed. \n\nI don’t consider this cheating and it’s something they can work through. To divorce other this? He was dancing with someone else. That’s not that serious. Plus you can’t just crash at my house for a few weeks because your husband smiled at another woman. She started crying and said I’m a horrible brother and she wishes our parents weren’t dead. I told her not to manipulate me and she blocked me. \n\n\nIt’s been so long and we haven’t spoken. She’s had the baby and she’s separated from her husband and she lets my wife and daughters come see the baby but not me. Was I really that wrong? If it was physical cheating then I could’ve understood but her story just isn’t enough for such a drastic reaction in my opinion. ######","completion":" YTA. You don’t get to dictate why someone leaves their spouse. Your sister needed your help and you just left her in the lurch to fend for herself.

{"prompt":"My dad (65M) and I (35F) used to be really close. My mom was a surgeon, so my dad was the one to pick us up from school, make us dinner, help us with homework, ect. I married my husband (36M) five years ago. \n\nMy dad is also a physician, and I can tell when he's entertaining guests because he has a distinctive bedside manner. It's polite and laid-back, but there is nothing of substance and I know he doesn't think anything he's saying is important. For the past five years, he hasn't had a single real conversation with my husband and I. It's all polite bullshit, and my husband doesn't believe me because he's never heard my dad have an actual conversation.\n\nLast week, we visited my parents, and my husband mentioned some investments he was thinking about making (that I know my dad thinks is a bad idea, because I've heard him give a 2 hour diatribe about why its a shitty idea before). When he responded, \"That's really interesting, it sounds like you've put a lot of research into it\", I lost it and called my dad out for not saying what he actually thinks, even when it can affect us financially. \n\nLater he pulled me aside, and he raised his voice with me for the first time since before high school. I asked him why he doesn't treat my husband like family. He told me that's not a decision I get to make, and that my husband is a guest and he's being polite. He also told me that I don't get to dictate what he feels comfortable speaking about and to who. That made me feel really bad, and my mom got upset at me for \"embarrassing my dad for no reason\". Now, I'm second guessing myself, but I also feel like its his fault for not actually caring about us.\n\nAITA? ######","completion":" YTA.

{"prompt":"I have a 20 year old daughter. Shes always struggled badly with her mental health, all stemming from her dad passing away when she was 7. The way she’s always dealt with this is eating. Last year she went through a stage where she’d stay home from university simply to order a McDonalds, and this happened every day without my knowledge. Somehow she’s not massively overweight, just a bit podgy. \n\nI also have a 17 year old son, and they get on really well. My son eats the entire house and puts no weight on and is an avid gym goer. Quite often he’ll ask my daughter if she wants to get takeout, and most of the time she says yes. \n\nLast night he asked her if she wanted to get a dessert from a local dessert takeout. She, of course, said yes and ordered an XXL Brownie Waffle and a huge bottle of full fat coke. When it arrived I took the coke and told my son to tell her it hadn’t came. He told her I had it. \n\nShe storms downstairs all guns blazing and demands I give her the coke. She’s shouting and asking why I think it’s okay to tell her what she can and can’t eat. We get in a huge argument before she storms back upstairs. About ten minutes later I go upstairs to go to bed, and she calls me into her room. She says “you do realise I’m 20 right, why do you think you can dictate what I eat” and I, out of pure frustration, said “because if I didn’t you’d just keep going and fucking going” and walked out.

{"prompt":"Earlier this year we sat down and had a talk about marriage. It's something we both want, and we agreed that we'll get engaged sometime before the end of the year. I was very clear to my GF that it will happen this year but would not give her a more specific time frame than that because I want it to be a surprise when it happens. She was fine with that as long as we get engaged this year. That's all that matters to her or so she said. \n\nA couple of her friends recently got engaged which is when she started pressure me to propose sooner rather than later. I told her I was still in the process of planning things, which is true, and she'd have to wait. From that point on it seemed like every day or every couple days I was getting aggressive hints about proposing. \n\nIt eventually got out of hand and so last week when she again did this it upset me enough that I got down on my knee and started saying things that made it sound like I was going to propose. I sort of intended it to be sarcasm, which is often how I express frustration, but it didn't come across that way. She started to get excited so I quickly stopped and told her I wasn't proposing but that she needed to stop rushing me. \n\nShe thinks what I did was really cruel but I don't see it that way. I see it as a poor attempt to tell her to be patient but not anything way out of line. ######","completion":" YTA. You don't fake a proposal to teach a lesson about patience.

{"prompt":"I have a 8 year old son who has an awful stutter. My wife used to have a stutter but grew out of it so we've been hoping for the same but thought it would be best if we just got help with it. My wife organised it and was suggested a Mr Timothy 'Surname'. All we knew was that he was good at his job and was 31. Awesome, got the ball rolling and his first session was this morning. Doorbell rings, I open the door and I see what's presentable as a 'women' with a bit of a facial hair wearing a suit (only saw the facial after he took of the mask). Peculiar but doesn't concern me so I asked if 'she' was sent in behalf of Timothy or if 'she' was here for another reason. That's 'she' said he was Timothy with a straight face. I paused cause I expected a bit more clarification but eventually my mind rebooted on its own and I figured that he was probably trans and still transitioning. Invited him inside and introduced him to my son who was a bit taken a back but was still good and I left them. They worked for an hour and then he was off. Spoke to my son and he was extremely confused and asked me all sorts of questions about him and whether or not he was girl etc. Which I tried to explain but my son just kept nodding like he did when he was just confused so I asked if he wants another therapist or not and he shrugged then walked off. I took this as a polite yes so my wife looked for someone else and I called Timothy and told him we appreciated his services but we'd found someone else. The guy was really cold over the phone and went \"mhm\" the whole time and called us assholes before hanging up (on his defense, I'm sure he said it while hanging up thinking we wouldn't hear). So yeah, aita? ######","completion":" YTA. You discriminated against that man. Plain and simple, you committed a transphobic action against a perfectly capable person. \n\nYour child never said he was bothered by the man, never said he wanted a new therapist, he was just confused and asked a question. And because you couldn’t figure out how to explain it “properly” you decided to withdraw your business? \n\nLet me ask you this; if he was confused by how the bus worked, would you not take him on busses anymore?\n\nIf he was confused about the relationship between his mother and father if he saw you being affectionate, would you tell your wife you could never touch in front of him again?\n\nIf he was confused about how tv worked, would you never watch tv again?\n\nFace it, he asked you questions about a type of person he had never encountered before, and all you had to do was say, “A trans person is someone who had the body of a man\/women and is changing to become who they really are.” \n\nHe may have had follow up questions at another time, which you could have answered. There was no need to remove the therapist from your sons life when he could have really helped him. You just didn’t want to have to explain it, and help him understand that there nothing strange or wrong about trans people.

She is very petite but I still expected our baby to big bigger than this. If she wears an oversized shirt and poses right you can barely tell she's pregnant. You can't tell at all from behind.\n\nLately she has been complaining because she feels so \"big\" and I commented without really thinking that she was so tiny compared to a lot of other pregnant women I've seen. She didn't believe me and thought I was trying to be nice and reassure her, and I said that actually I felt disappointed because of how small she was. \n\nI'm not sure why she got upset. If I had said she was big or getting huge I could see.

{"prompt":"Throwaway because my roommate uses Reddit. Anyway, this past weekend I moved with my gf into a new apartment with a friend of mine. I've moved a few times over the past couple years and I hate it every time. Now that I'm doing a little better in life I decided to hire movers to avoid some of the hassle of the larger items. My gf and I moved all of our smaller stuff (books, clothes, linens, etc.) over the course of the past couple weeks but I needed help moving all of our larger stuff so I hired some movers.\n\nWe picked up our moving truck and met the movers at our old apt. That's kind of where I ran into the predicament. We hired two movers and when they showed up, one was a female. I normally would be totally fine with this but I had already moved all of the smaller stuff to the new place and was mostly looking for help moving the big stuff like our couch, dressers, bed, etc. \n\nI felt like I needed to spot her going up and down the stairs with the heavy stuff and it kind of negated the main reason I hired movers: saving time and worry. She didn't end up dropping anything in the end but it took some of my attention away from moving other stuff on what was a very hectic day moving two different apartments into one. I paid the two movers the same amount ($150 for 3 hours of work) and then this is where I got into an issue with my gf. I paid the male mover a $30 tip and the female mover a $20 tip. \n\nMy gf was pretty irate but I felt it was justified since I had to spend extra time worrying about the mover dropping anything during the move.

I (16F) have a brother (21M) called Sean and we were raised in a pretty typical Christian household. We both were made to go through church school and Confirmation and all that, but we both stopped going to church after Confirmation because we just didn’t care for it too much. Both still consider ourselves Christians, just a bit lazy with it and maybe somewhat agnostic? Anyway, my brother has never had a girlfriend and he’s in the military now actually, so after high school he never really had time for one anyway. Our family always assumed he was straight since he had crushes on girls in high school.\n\nI was taking with my mom—she’s pretty homophobic, but she’s always said she’d never kid her kids out or do conversion therapy for being gay, just that we would unfortunately be going to hell but she’d still love us.

I said, “yeah actually, but he was too afraid to come out because of your homophobia.”\n\nConversation ended, she called Sean and asked him about it. Just like in the sitcoms, it ended up being one of those situations where you expose yourself because you thought the person already knew the secret.

In the group there was this girl (18f) who was a friend of a gay friend of mine (20m). Since we were 4 girls and 3 boys we booked two rooms with 4 beds. Now, I knew from the start that the girl was a lesbian, but I didn't think that It would have been a problem for me, until we had to share the room.

So I asked my friend of he could tell her to move with the boys because us girls were feeling unconmfortable with her around. He watched me like I suggested to kick her from out hotel or something but he said ok. And the girl moved. A couple of days later my friend sent me some screenshots. They were from a LGBT+ themed group on whatsapp. The girl wrote a rant about what has happened and there were TONS of hateful messages thoward me(the names were censored) I asked my friend why did he sent me those messages and he replied that he thought I would have found them \"funny\". I said that It was terrible and hurtful for me and he should reconsider being friend with this kind of people. He told me to relax and that no One knew which one of the girls asked for her to change room so I was safe. He also added that I \"kinda deserved It\". I lost my cool and I told him to f*ck off.

{"prompt":"So I’m in college, and in the US we have a program called ROTC at most colleges and it’s kinda like a fast track to commissioning into the military. To be in the program, there are pretty strict physical fitness and BMI requirements to go further than halfway through the program. \n\nLast month on of my friends from high school told me she was thinking about joining, and asked me for my help about planning her schedule around it. In the program, we have physical training 3 mornings a week which, for someone who doesn’t work out regularly, could be very intense. So I warned her that if she wants to join, she needs to start working out, eating right and losing weight. The exact words I texted her were, “So our workouts can be pretty intense for people that don’t ever work out. So you need to eat a lot healthier than you do now and start regularly working out so you can slim down, because your BMI is probably too high right now”. And she left me on read. I texted her to ask what’s up and still left me on read. I hadn’t heard from her until last week when our mutual friend texted me telling me that I needed to apologize to her. I of course asked why and she told me that I had really hurt her feelings. I felt bad but I told the mutual friend, that I told her what she needed to hear and what she needed to get into the habit of changing if she was serious about joining.

To me that's something that she should keep between herself and her partner and any friend or family that ask to be involved and she wants to involve.

It ended with me and him packing our bags in moving in with my parents for a while. After 2 weeks she and I had a sit-down and we talked alot and I managed to convince her to change her beliefs about gay people and slowly she became better. I begged my son to please come back during those few months but he refused even after his mom apologized multiple times.

I really tried to encourage him to do so because she's become a way better person. Eventually he told me the real reason why he was here, it was for me. He told me that I had to choose between my wife or him because he would not tolerate having a dad who's married to the person who made his life miseral.

My son got up to go to the bathroom so I decided to have a quick word with Katy. I wasn’t pushy, I just suggested that she should have my son in the delivery room instead of her mother as it was his right to be there. She said they’d agreed between themselves that it was okay, but I know my son and I just can’t imagine him being okay with that. I asked her why she didn’t want my son in the room and she explained why, her insecurities etc, and I told her she was being idiotic. For someone soon to be a mother she sure is childish. \n\nShe shouted for my son and my son was furious at me, telling me that he was okay with whatever Katy wanted and that he’d only be sitting outside, he’d get to see his daughter straight away. I said that wasn’t good enough and he said that if I kept this up I wouldn’t be seeing my granddaughter at all which is just ludicrous. AITA? ######","completion":" YTA. You are a manipulator.

Initially I was a little unsure but then figured it will grow out anyway and was not permanent. My daughter has a dark blonde to light brown coloured hair and we agreed not to use bleach. I was expecting the colour we chose to be a soft subtle pink without bleach but it did come out extremely intense and bright.\n\nMy daughter was very proud of her new hair. The salon also did ear piercing and my daughter noticed this and asked if she could get her ears pierced again. She was wanting a row of earrings like the hairdresser which was of course too much but after some discussion we agreed she could choose 2 pairs of earrings. I was expecting my daughter would 2 more added to each lobe (she already had 1 in each) but she wanted them all on one side. The issue I had was that the 4th and 5th hole would be in her cartilage as she could only fit 3 in her lobe. I raised this with the hairdresser but she said it would be o.k. We ended up leaving the salon with my daughter looking a little punkish with bright pink hair and 5 earrings in her left ear.\n\nWhen we got home my husband was a little freaked out by my daughters new look.

{"prompt":"(Throwaway account for a friend, I'll answer any questions I can)\n\nBackground:\nI (21F) am 6 and a half months pregnant with my (22M) partner of 6 years. \nWe already have a 4 year old together, who was an accident but he is the best thing in my life.\nThe 3 of us are living in 1 room at my partner's mum's (54) bungalow, and she agreed to adapt her dining room into a bedroom for our son now that he's getting older and needs more space. This should be done in about 3 weeks.\n\nWhen we found out we were pregnant with our first, my family didn't approve of us keeping the baby because of our age and other circumstances and it strained our relationship quite badly causing a lot of arguments and tension for a while.\nWe're past that now, they love my son, and they're happy to support us in whatever ways they can.\n\nMy partner and I decided to try for another baby whilst our first is still young so he can have a sibling to grow up with, and when I first found out that I was pregnant I didn't want to tell my family because I knew they would have the same reaction as the first time due to our current financial situation. To make sure no one slipped up and let my family know I'm pregnant, we didn't tell anyone else either. I was able to hide it well by wearing baggy clothes and jumpers mostly. It has now got to month 6, and no one has noticed or asked me, so I haven't told anyone.\n\nA very small number of people know that I'm expecting, and have tried to convince me to tell everyone that I'm pregnant before the baby comes, but I don't want to deal with the drama and judgement until I have to.\nWe also haven't told our son yet, in case he mentions it to his grandad on one of their weekly video chats.\n\nSo, AITA for keeping my pregnancy a secret? ######","completion":" YTA.

{"prompt":"My daughter (13F) has very long hair, down to the middle of her back. She always wears it down and she doesn't always wash or brush it and it looks very ugly and messy. Seeing as she isn't responsible enough to take care of her own hair properly, I offered to cut it. After all having long hair can take up vitamins and nutrition and she's skinny enough as it is. I kept offering to cut her hair over the course of a month but every time I brought it up she would say that I could only cut up to three inches off which is barely any difference. Eventually after two months she allowed me to cut it to shoulder length but because she kept moving her head so much during the process it caused some length differences and I had to cut it all to just below her ear. I thought it looked good and really suited her but my daughter ended up crying over her new haircut. At lunch I made a casual comment about how she's so sensitive she cried over hair but now she's seems upset. Its not exactly my fault that she ended up with a different hair cut. If she just kept her head still it would have turned out normal but I would like a third opinion on this. ######","completion":" YTA. Why in hell would you mock your kid’s feelings?

So my son got really defensive when I said that, and he even asked me if I would dislike his kid if he was Asian.

The problem is she needed to study this weekend and I didn’t make plans because I had asked her how much time she needed to study and she didn’t answer me. Granted I asked her when she was already in bed because she had to be up at 4:30 in the morning. That was five days ago she hasn’t brought it up since. I didn’t make any plans and now I’m frustrated that I have to take the kids and find something to do while she studies. She blew up on me complaining about how she makes all the sacrifices and she’s just asking for a few hours of study time. I think she’s not being respectful of my feelings and the fact that I could’ve made plans had she told me she needed a few hours to study. Words were exchanged and I called her a fucking cunt. Well as you can imagine that didn’t go over very well. We got an a huge fight and I took off and left her with the kids for the day. Now she’s not backing down. I feel like she needs to be more respectful of my time and communicate with me how many hours she needs to study.  She thinks I’m being totally unreasonable.

{"prompt":"I have a 8 year old son who has an awful stutter. My wife used to have a stutter but grew out of it so we've been hoping for the same but thought it would be best if we just got help with it. My wife organised it and was suggested a Mr Timothy 'Surname'. All we knew was that he was good at his job and was 31. Awesome, got the ball rolling and his first session was this morning. Doorbell rings, I open the door and I see what's presentable as a 'women' with a bit of a facial hair wearing a suit (only saw the facial after he took of the mask). Peculiar but doesn't concern me so I asked if 'she' was sent in behalf of Timothy or if 'she' was here for another reason. That's 'she' said he was Timothy with a straight face. I paused cause I expected a bit more clarification but eventually my mind rebooted on its own and I figured that he was probably trans and still transitioning. Invited him inside and introduced him to my son who was a bit taken a back but was still good and I left them. They worked for an hour and then he was off. Spoke to my son and he was extremely confused and asked me all sorts of questions about him and whether or not he was girl etc. Which I tried to explain but my son just kept nodding like he did when he was just confused so I asked if he wants another therapist or not and he shrugged then walked off. I took this as a polite yes so my wife looked for someone else and I called Timothy and told him we appreciated his services but we'd found someone else. The guy was really cold over the phone and went \"mhm\" the whole time and called us assholes before hanging up (on his defense, I'm sure he said it while hanging up thinking we wouldn't hear).

She didn't end up dropping anything in the end but it took some of my attention away from moving other stuff on what was a very hectic day moving two different apartments into one. I paid the two movers the same amount ($150 for 3 hours of work) and then this is where I got into an issue with my gf. I paid the male mover a $30 tip and the female mover a $20 tip. \n\nMy gf was pretty irate but I felt it was justified since I had to spend extra time worrying about the mover dropping anything during the move.

{"prompt":"Throwaway\n\nThis happened last Christmas and I want to know if I am the asshole\n\nRecently my daughter married and gained two step kids from her husband. she has been spending a lot more on those step kids than her own son because apparently my daughter thinks that step kid are being treated unfairly by my daughters side of the family as my daughters step kid does not have any family except from there father. There father does not make as much cash as my daughter.\n\nI think this is unfair and sets up for a life time of thinking that the step kids in every situation will be fair. I told my daughter that she should split up the family funds evenly but my daughter refused. So during this Christmas I got my daughters child a brand new mac book and an expensive Iphone model. While the other child got multiple presents from the family. The step children did not get anything from my family. My step grand children where mad and told my daughter it's un fair. I came to them and I told them I don't give a f\\*ck about them and that life is not fair and they should grow up. \n\nMy daughter immediately  came and told me that she plans to sell the gifts that I got for my grand child and split up among everyone so it does not cause any problems. I was mad and told my daughter that I don't give a fuck about her step kids and that they need to learn life is not fair. My daughter became pissed and told me that I am going to be cut off from my grand sons life. The child I am biologically related to because I acted really mean to her step kids.

{"prompt":"My best mate Kyle and I have been friends since college. There is a group of 7 us who met playing Magic the Gathering and stayed very close, even though two moved away we still connect over online gaming etc. We're a very closenit group.

But Kyle named all of the other group members as groomsmen. There were 7 of us total including Kyle, so he's got 5 groomsmen, and left me out. I was really hurt when the other guys asked me if I got Kyle's cool invitation, of Magic-themed cufflinks.\n\nBut then a few days later I got a package in the mail from Sarah. It was the same Magic design but a necklace, asking if I'd be one of her bridesmaids. I was livid. I think it's ridiculous that I can't stand on the side of my friend and have to stand on her side. And I also have a feeling that my friends told Kyle and Sarah I was pissed, so she asked me to make amends. I've never liked Sarah. She doesn't share Kyle's interests like that. When Kyle hosts tournaments she'll just stay in the living room with headphones on or work out in the garden, she NEVER tries to learn. She'll bring snacks and chat with us before and after the game, but during she just leaves. I honestly don't get it. Now all the guys get to go to his bachleor party, and do groomsmen things, and I have to miss all that and do the bachelorette and stuff with girls I don't even know.

She recently lost her corporate job and her husband refuses to pay for counseling or go. The only available therapist that specializes in infertility counseling in her area is apparently out of network.\n\nMy daughter tells me that she doesn’t know when she can pay me back because her husband controls most of the finances. \n\nAnd to be honest, I wasn’t sympathetic to her cause because when she was 21, she was pregnant and even her boyfriend at the time was a great man (unlike what we all think of her current husband) and intended raise the baby with her, she said that she didn’t want to “do this” with a 36 year old and aborted it.\n\nAll signs at the time pointed to a healthy pregnancy and we were all mentally prepared to help her through it and babysit it, and what she did upset a lot of people.\n\nI do feel like she threw away the chance to be a mother because of her need for everything to line up and be perfect. \n\nSo I told her that I was really reluctant to spend a bunch of money to comfort her and assuage her feelings when she’s apparently forgotten that she had a healthy pregnancy but didn’t appreciate her expected child at that time. \n\nAnd for that reason I don’t really want to give her the money and will not.

She was *barely* an adult, and yet you're expecting her to throw away her career\/education (if she was in it at the time) to become a parent to someone fifteen years older?

Her husband \"controls most of the finances\" despite her having a job, too, and refuses to attend counseling or pay for his own *wife* to attend counseling. These might be red flags as to what type of relationship situation your daughter is in. Instead of being bitter over an event happening thirteen years ago, you should reach out and ask if everything is okay, and you should definitely help her pay for counseling. \n\nYou made her abortion *about you*. That's not cool, especially as her parent, someone that is supposed to help her through issues like this. Get over yourself and realize that your daughter is in need of help.

Somehow she’s not massively overweight, just a bit podgy. \n\nI also have a 17 year old son, and they get on really well. My son eats the entire house and puts no weight on and is an avid gym goer. Quite often he’ll ask my daughter if she wants to get takeout, and most of the time she says yes. \n\nLast night he asked her if she wanted to get a dessert from a local dessert takeout. She, of course, said yes and ordered an XXL Brownie Waffle and a huge bottle of full fat coke. When it arrived I took the coke and told my son to tell her it hadn’t came. He told her I had it. \n\nShe storms downstairs all guns blazing and demands I give her the coke. She’s shouting and asking why I think it’s okay to tell her what she can and can’t eat. We get in a huge argument before she storms back upstairs. About ten minutes later I go upstairs to go to bed, and she calls me into her room. She says “you do realise I’m 20 right, why do you think you can dictate what I eat” and I, out of pure frustration, said “because if I didn’t you’d just keep going and fucking going” and walked out. She kept calling me to come back but I didn’t and went to bed. \n\nI’ve woken up to her having taken the handle off her door so I can’t get in and not talking when I ask her to open it. When I text her asking her to eat she replies “oh I didn’t realise I was allowed to eat now” and just being snarky. I was just trying to protect her from herself. AITA? ######","completion":" YTA. The only thing you're gonna achieve with this is her having an eating disorder. You are JUST LIKE my family, et voila, 2 years ago I had some nice little anorexia. If she's not overweight, than apparently she's eating the amount her body needs. And as long as she's not life threateningly obese, it's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS what she eats, when and how. ######"}
{"prompt":"I helped nominate a colleague for a prize in our field in late 2019. He was made up about the nomination. The award is to do with management and leadership. However in recent months he has really dropped the ball about managing the company during COVID-19 causing lots of his employees including me stress and anxiety about the pressure to come into the workplace despite the stay-at-home orders and infection rates in our state (ME) and choosing between potentially losing out jobs or putting our families at increased risk. I was mad at the idea of him winning this prize for excellent management when his management had caused some real damage this year, so I sent a confidential email to the prize organizer to say that I made the nomination but became increasingly uncomfortable about it for the reasons above and wouldn’t have made the nomination again today with that hindsight. I know it’s been a really tough year for business and he’d be very upset if he found out, but I feel like I did the honest thing. AITA? ######","completion":" YTA. The nomination was for a past year which you said the manager excelled in. I think it is unfair to retract based on the managers performance in a new year.

Like I spend a lot of time and effort on making sure I look good, it would be nice to know that's noticed and appreciated'. \n\nThis pissed her. Idk why.

{"prompt":"So this one is a bit trickier than the headline suggests. I’m getting married next summer and about a month ago I made an appointment to try on wedding dresses. My friend (and would be maid of honor) was there when I made the appointment and agreed to be there. I don’t have too much family or a large friend group so she would’ve been the only person from my side of the wedding at this appointment. \n\nYesterday (6 days before the appointment) she texts me and says she won’t be able to make it because her dad was *recently* diagnosed with cancer and her step mom is planning a surprise weekend for him. Mind you, she is what I consider a close friend, so I’m surprised to be hearing about this development for the first time while she’s cancelling on me. \n\nNow, I do understand why she wouldn’t be able to make it, but obviously I’m sad she won’t be there for my appointment. I replied, “I’m super disappointed you won’t be there, but I understand”.\n\nImmediate reply, “My dad has cancer.”\n\nAs this happened on a Sunday, I was out bringing groceries to my grandmother and didn’t look at my phone for a couple hours. When I did see her message, I responded “that’s awful, I’m sorry. I understand why you can’t make it”, only to find that I am blocked on the phone as well as all social media. My fiancé is blocked and her boyfriend also blocked both of us. Hell, she even blocked me on her dogs insta page. \n\nI’m still trying to figure out if IATA but I really don’t think I am. I get that her family thing is super important, but I’m allowed to be sad my friend is going to miss an important thing in my life, right? This all seems like a huge overreaction to me. After 8 years of friendship, this is BONKERS. AITA here?? ######","completion":" YTA. The correct response was: OMG I’m so sorry to hear that about your dad! Of course being with your him for the weekend is more important than my dress appointment. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do. ######"}
{"prompt":"Just to be clear she has seen the kids. My husband put his foot down and since she isn't super close to the kids I don't have a problem with it. My MIL doesn't like me very much and she would rather not be close to my children and not babysit than have to follow any rules. In general we just don't have anything in common and if she wasn't family she isn't someone I would ever talk to.\n\nWe had to stay at their house for a few days because we had some flooding and MIL had a friend over. I was not ease dropping but I'd cooked for my kids and I was cleaning the kitchen, while they were in the living room and it is an open kitchen (I don't think she knew I was in there) MIL's best friend was saying how someone she knew gave a kidney to their boss, and she said that is so nice but she would never do that for someone she wasn't super close to. MIL agreed. The friend said I'd do it for you and my husband and fuck everyone else. MIL said that when you get older you lose tolerance for fake relationships and then she said \"the only people I really love are FIL, you, and my brother\"\n\nI was floored that she didn't include my husband or my kids. I confronted her the next day and asked if she meant that. MIL just kind of shrugged and said sometimes you chose your own family. She tried to backtrack and she said she might do it in the situation, but really she doesn't feel that same closeness and her best friend is more family to her than my kids. I told her that she is evil and doesn't deserve to ever her her grandchildren again. My husband thinks I shouldn't have said that and I have to understand it is a 30 year friendship. ######","completion":" YTA. The conversation you heard was in reference to giving someone a Kidney! Your MIL was basically saying that she has a short list of people whom she cannot love without and your family isn’t on that list. Big whoop. Even relationships within families can be nuanced. Your MIL seems to act accordingly to her feelings I.e. she’s not overbearing or controlling. This is one kind of healthy relationship. You don’t get to dictate how she feels about you as long as she is respectful and nice. You sound like a future r\/justnoMIL case in the making. ######"}
{"prompt":"Here is a light aita for you guys. It's to settle a years long argument between my sibling and I.( Don't worry we love each other and the story is more amusing than anything) \n\nYears ago, my older sister(25) and I(18) were on a family holiday at an amusement park. She bought a cinnamon roll for us to split. We shared it by taking turns unrolling a bit, tearing it off, and eating it.( It was one of those large swirly ones). Finally it was down to the core of the cinnamon roll and it was my turn. I didn't want to eat all of it so I decided to bite it in half, from the top. \n\nTo this day my sister maintains that I'm a monster for biting the \"objectively best part\" and I maintain that I was being kind by leaving her half even though it was my turn.

I didn't really understand what she was doing but thought it was just a little extra money on the side. \n\nOne day she sat me down and should me her paypal account. The balance read somewhere in the excess of $150,000. \n\nI was absolutely floored by it, I won't get much into it but I interrogated her and made sure it wasn't anything illegal.

{"prompt":"My step sister doesn't have a strong or sexy female role model in her life. Our relationship has its ups and downs, but on several occasions she's admitted she wants to learn more from me about make up, clothes and the like. Her mom is a pretty sleazy character and I have no idea why my dad's with her. Still, I can't let her go because of that, my step sis is 17 and I'm 21, so we're like sisters, right?\n\nI decided to surprise her and give her this gift as a subtle nudge to getting her to start presenting herself a little better. She hasn't had a single boyfriend, and is always the wayward anti-social depressed person which I think is a terrible look for her and not doing her mental health any wonders. I hoped this would maybe get her excited about taking care of things and feeling sexy and attractive. I know she has a couple of boys she crushes on .. hard! Maybe this would get her started.\n\nUnfortunately the kid ratted on me, told her mom (my step mom) and now it's become a big thing in my family. Luckily I don't live with my dad or them, and I'm with my mom (who luckily gave me a strong female role model .. she's amazing!) so I don't have to deal with the drama day-to-day. But they're accusing me of sending her the wrong message and this is the text that really hurt me \"put her on a path to being shallow and slutty, like you are\" which was a total below the belt hit. My mom just chalks it up to jealousy and thinks I did the right thing giving that poor girl a chance to get out of that funk.\n\nAITA here? ######","completion":" YTA.

{"prompt":"My brother's son is 20, and he lives about 30 minutes drive away from our area. My brother and his wife separated about 3 years ago, and he moved out of the country, while my nephew stayed here with his mother and brother. When the breakup happened, all of our side of the family tried not to take sides, as there was infidelity involved - we didn't want to cut off my brother, but we also didn't want to see them stuck.\n\nWe(the extended family) helped them find a new house and gave them some furniture and such to get them restarted. Personally I did a lot of driving back and forth to their area as well, dropping off people and bits to help them. Since then, we haven't really seen much of them, but we bump into them from time to time at family functions.\n\nLast year we were at one such function (i can't remember what it was), and they were all there. Since we'd last seen them, our daughter had been born, and the nephew came out with the observation \"Oh, I'd forgotten you guys had a baby\". It wasn't anything offensive, but I was a little pissed off that he had forgotten the existence of my daughter - we had been there a lot for them in a tough time, and I don't think it was much to at least expect that.\n\nFast forward to this week - his birthday had been earlier in the week. Since all the kids in the extended family had gotten over the age of 16, we usually just tended to stick £50 in a card and that was usually the end of it. This year for said nephew, I decided not to send him a card, or indeed wish him a happy birthday. The next day I got a call from his mum asking why I hadn't sent a card - to which I replied \"oh I forgot it was his birthday\". She knew I was lying, and called me an asshole, saying that he was just a young boy. I retaliated, saying that he is old enough to know that he has a new cousin, and that I was offended that she had been completely forgotten.\n\nSo, AITA? ######","completion":" YTA. That's just petty. \n\nYou send all the kids in the extended family a birthday remembrance, not based on your personal relationship but on the fact that you're related.

The problem is, I am sure he isn’t studying properly. He is constantly looking at the time waiting for it to pass while daydreaming thinking about what he should do in Minecraft today or in whatever other games he plays. This is not ok, and I realized that the only way to stop this is if I no longer allow him to play on his xbox. Since he is most likely failing math and will be doing summer school I decided to donate the xbox to charity.

{"prompt":"So in our drama class, we decided to host a play. The play goes around the central theme of twins being mistaken for each other and deciding on taking advantage of that. The entire play is based on the fact that the twins are identical. \n\nWe decided on doing this play because my best friend has an identical twin, and they both are in drama.  However, we still had to hold an audition for fairness and for the other roles, and I was the casting director. \n\nMy best friend (lets call her twin 1) auditioned for the role of twin 1 and got it, but when it came to the role of twin 2, another girl came to audition. It was her and twin 1's twin, and I decided to give the role to the twin for obvious reasons (it is necessary for the twins to be identical).\n\nNon-twin filed a complaint to the school and the drama council that I was racist (my friend was white and so was her twin, while non-twin was black) and I had to explain that while she did a great job, but to be in the play you have to look similar to the twin and be fitted to the character. She said that I was racist and that her skin color should not limit her roles. \n\nAnyway, I was cut off from my drama club, and I am shunned by my entire school. There are people who don't think I am racist, but they are too afraid to say so. I saw the practice of the play, and I HATE how people are pretending the story makes sense, but since they look so different, it absolutely looks crazy. Imagine the whole point of the story being that A and B look alike, but A is a 5'7 white girl and B is a 5'2 black girl. I think people are crazy for pretending they look identical, and that \"they do not see a difference\". Maybe I am racist for not letting a girl get the role for how she looked\/the color of her skin, but I know if she was white I would not have given her the role and nobody would call me racist.\n\nAm I the asshole? ######","completion":" YTA. Sorry, but you already had a casting in mind and you wanted to rubber stamp it with a fake \"fair\" casting. You failed as a leader of the casting process at this point. \n\nYou did not specify that the two roles had to be filled by identical twins, so everyone should be able to participate and be cast and you did not hold a fair casting. \n\nThis is not Hollywood, this is a school play. I bet this role has been played by countless non identical twins and even non related people in school plays of  the past. ######"}

{"prompt":"I generally have a good relationship with my 19yo son. He was an only child until he was 9 when I remarried and my wife and I had another son. My son gets along very well with my 10yo son (his half-brother) and my wife (his step-mother). \n\nMy oldest was very mellow, almost meek as a kid. There were only a few times that I can recall where my eldest did something wild and crazy. My 10yo has a wild streak to him that has only gotten worse. A lot of it has to do with his attitude and disrespect. He just wants to do what he wants to do and doesn't want to do what he doesn't want to do. It's unfortunate because he the kid that you want your kids to be around because he's so much fun.\n\nA couple of nights ago, I heard some rumbling in our yard and backdoor at 1AM in the morning. It scared the shit out of my wife and I. I thought it was a home invasion. It wasn't. It my was 10yo son. I asked him what the fuck was he doing outside at 1AM in the morning. He gave some lie about a noise that he wanted to check out (he's still scared of the dark and has a nightlight). As it turns out, his friend dared him to come to his window late at night and my son took him up on that dare. His friend lives down the street. I shudder when I think about all the horrible things that could have happened to a 10yo walking down the street at 1AM in the morning. \n\nAs a punishment, I grounded him for two weeks and his electronics for a month. I also chewed him out. My son came home the following day and my son made a beeline to him crying. Later my eldest son told me I was fucked up for giving such a harsh punishment after my 10yo told him what happened. My eldest said I should reconsider and even apologize to my 10yo.

{"prompt":"My ex-husband came out as gay while I was pregnant. He has since moved across the country and decided being a parent was too much of a burden for his \"new life\" so I have sole custody. I'm now a single mother to an almost toddler. \n\nI tried to \"get back out there\" with online dating when my baby was 6 months old. I'm not yet 30 and I pretty much had my old body back by then, so I thought it wouldn't be super hard to get \"matches\". I made a profile with some of my pre-baby hobbies and some recent pictures on it. What I left out was anything to do with motherhood or having a baby. I didn't mention anything about kids at all. \n\nMaybe I come from a different time, but I was raised with the idea that you shouldn't be posting about your kids on the internet because you never know who might see it. I relaxed enough to post about the baby on my personal Facebook, but only holiday family pictures and sanitized things. Not anything that is overly personal or would be a problem. However, a dating website that is specifically for adult purposes and is a completely anonymous public forum? Absolutely not. \n\nOf course I wouldn't introduce my child to any partner until I knew it was serious, but I feel like the person I date doesn't even need to know they exist until we've had a first and second date.

I don't need to attract people who are just going to think \"lonely single mom\" or make it easier for people to investigate and doxx me.\n\nI put everything on pause, but am just now starting it up again. I've shown the profile to some friends and family, and they're appalled that I am \"denying\" having a baby.

Irene said it sounds fun and she’s excited for our weekend together, but I told her it wasn’t a good idea. \n\nI asked what if something happened to her daughter while she was gone, or needed to leave immediately. She said her boyfriend can handle their daughter and if she absolutely needs to leave she’ll take an Uber. I told her she’s ridiculous and is an irresponsible parent if she’s that persistent on doing drugs when she has a daughter at home, and she can trip sit if she’d like, if we even decide to do it. Irene got a bit upset and said she just wanted to have fun with us, and the last time she did anything of that sort was around 2 years ago, and she’s allowed to have fun even though she has a child. I responded with just “irresponsible parent” and she left the group chat. \n\nMy other 2 friends flipped out on me and said I should’ve just kept my mouth shut, and that Irene knows how to take care of her daughter, and Irene would never do anything that would put her daughter in danger.

{"prompt":" \n\nSo I have a habit of calling out to people on bike\/walking paths \"passing left\" and\/or \"plingeling\" (the sound of a bike bell) when coming up from behind before passing whilst exercising, running or biking. This can be used together with a real bike bell but I've found that calling out is more noticeable. Here I have to admit that I when passing people that wear headphones and that take up the majority of the path without moving, since they don't hear me, can get an extra call just when passing just to scare them and make them aware that they need to share the path. I know this is somewhat of a bitch move but I'm just so fed up with people taking up unnecessary space just because they're selfish or inconsiderate.\n\nThis time I was moving up on a teenager from behind getting ready to pass him. He was biking in the middle of the bike lane, leaving precious little space on either side. I was going for a left side pass since we have right hand traffic here. He was wearing headphones and not holding on to the handlebars of his bike. I called out. No response. So when passing, quite close due to the space issue, I called out again and spooked him. This resulted in him twitching, our handlebars locking and him falling of his bike into the road. No cars came just then luckily so no real harm done. The discussion after went something like this:\n\n\\-\"Are you ok?\"\n\n\\-\"Yeah...\"\n\n\\-\"You shouldn't wear headphones if it means you can't hear the traffic when biking.\"\n\n\\-\"Why'd you scare me so I fell?\"\n\n\\-\" I tried calling out before but you didn't hear me.\"\n\n\\-\"But I couldn't hear you because I was wearing headphones!\"\n\n\\-\"Exactly...\"\n\nSo AITA for scaring people when passing because they're wearing headphones? ######","completion":" YTA.

If someone doesn’t hear you ringing your bell, you ring again or call out again, and you wait until they are safely aware of your existence. Most people even with headphones will hear it. If you want, you can buy a little bike horn so you can warn from afar, they are usually a bit louder than bells. \nIf there is enough room, you can start coming on their side not too fast and wait for them to notice.

My oldest 2 kids occasionally got it in the other lanes and even by where the class was happening but no complaints, I even made sure to ask the lady teaching the lesson, the guy working out and the lady in the class the ball almost hit if they where ok with us playing catch and they said sure. So I dont think I was doing anything wrong. Well the lifeguard approached my 2 oldest and asked if they could do short passes and keep the ball n the lane, I overheard and told my kids they dont have to since others arnt bothered by it so they didnt. Well she approached us again after my son almost accidentally hit someone with the ball lightly. I told her they said it was ok and she said that she some people say that and then complain later and not everyone who comes in is ok with that. I kinda went off on her a little bit telling her to get her manger and theyll take my side and that she was being an overeactive  bully, Ill admit I said it rather sternly, but I wasnt  bothering anyone and was following the rules. I later saw her mangers yelling at her and she looked like she's been crying. I feel bad even though I think she needed to learn her lesson. \n\n&amp;#x200B;\n\nTLDR: I yelled at a lifeguard for telling me to stop doing things that are not against the rule. ######","completion":" YTA.

At home we speak English so my kid's French skill is very poor (shame on me for not speaking French more).  She is starting school in France now.\n\nSo we're filling up forms for her school and my wife writes French\/English against \"Nationality\".  So I said, that the kid is only French and we should correct that.\n\nMy wife says that it will help if someone reads the form, to know that the kid speaks English.  \n\nTo which I replied that nationality is different from language.  We should put French only.\n\nApparently I had a smirk on when I said that.  I didn't even notice.  She blew up though \"why you smirking at me? You're so arrogant.

{"prompt":"\nI (29m) live with my girlfriend (26f). She is a wonderful cook and amazing at baking, but she doesn’t do it very often because she thinks it’s too much effort to do it just for herself. She generally eats 4 times a day. \nBreakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and then dinner. \n\nHer country was a British colony and afternoon tea and an overall obsession with drinking tea just became ingrained into her culture over the course of their colonisation.  \n\nFor reference, here’s how her meal plan is. Breakfast at 8am, lunch at 12pm, afternoon tea at 4pm, and dinner at 9pm. The quantities she eats are quite small, which is I guess why she can eat frequently. I just eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. \n\nNow due to COVID, we’re working from home and she has a lot more free time. Her family comes over 3-4 times a week in the afternoon for tea and she’s been consistently baking for them. \n\nI’ve been thoroughly enjoying her food, and joining them in eating when they come by but it + staying at home all day have made me put on a few pounds. I’ve been working on shedding it, but her baking makes it difficult for me to control. I’ve asked her if she could stop baking, and cut down to 3 meals a day, or just buy normal things from the store so I wouldn’t be as tempted. \n\nShe’s refused, and we got in a fight over it. I don’t think there’s an issue with her stopping baking, or at least doing it less frequently to help me lose weight. ######","completion":" YTA. She shouldn’t have to stop doing something she enjoys (baking and having afternoon tea) just because you have no self-control. No one is forcing you to participate. You’re an adult.

No family member made any comments and it was seemingly going all right, then my GF came back from work and asked me on the side \"what are you doing here?\".  I replied with \"visiting\".  Two hours later my GF says we need to talk so we go outside and immediately begin to argue.  She says I disrespected her need for space and came to her house uninvited and she wondered what my true goal was.  I responded by saying the last time her family was mad at me they chewed me out for not coming by for a couple weeks so I did not want to repeat that, and said regardless of her and my issues, they're still family and I wanted to just simply visit to see how they are.\n\nEdit 1:  It's clear I made the wrong move and am the AH.

Recently, he had found out that his Fiancé(31F) had unprotected intercourse with someone else (open relationship) and that G might not be his. Bro is emotionally attached to this child, as a father would be, so even if G wasn't his he would still consider G his daughter. \n\nWell, last week the test came in and unfortunately G is not biologically his. Bro was true to his word and and treated G as his own, and props to him for doing that. He stayed with Fiancé. I, however, don't want any further relationship with G. You see, I am planning on paying for G's college as I was well off, so I would also be leaving Bro and Fiancé to their own devices. \n\nAfter hearing this, Fiancé call me begging that I pay for G's College. I said no. She then asked how she was going to pay for G, and I said that A.) she could stop relying on people to pay for her children and work for a change, B.) She could get the father  to pay or C. ) Acknowledge that her s*x drive had gotten her into this mess so maybe she can do what money moochers like herself do and go find a rich man to pay for her mistakes. She cried at C and then hung up. Later her mother called saying that Fiancé honestly didn't want to mooch off of Bro and that my comment was a horrible thing to say. I told her to not contact me again as we are not related.\n\n Bro was mad at me saying that I shouldn't of been horrible to Fiancé. I accused him of picking the person who wronged him over the person who defended him. He said that who he is with is none of my business and that I am crossing too many boundaries with my comments.

{"prompt":"My wife was on facebook and saw a picture of her grandmother and got sad that she's looking older. She went on to say that she wishes she could get back to where her family lives more, which comes up pretty frequently. I asked her why she chose to move out here if this was going to be a constant issue. I guess what I said was less than cool, but her family treated her really poorly when she lived with them and took advantage of her and when she moved out here, she was thrilled to be leaving. So it rubs me the wrong way when she acts like she's missing out on not being around them. Then she got mad and told me that it's normal for families that live apart to see each other regularly and I disagreed. I'm poor. I grew up poor, I've always been poor. She knew I was poor when we got together. Poor people don't take cross country trips. My Nana is from North Dakota and it was a huge deal when she got to go see her mother before she passed. Likewise, my Pop saw his mother who lived in Kansas once the whole time I was alive at that point. His family from Alaska visited a few times, but that was because they had money. We also just travelled across country to see my wife's family (on her parent's dime) on a lie her mother told about a dying family member because she wanted my wife to come out for her birthday. It was a terrible time that was very stressful for both of us and they made us sleep in the room where their dogs piss all day. I cannot see why my wife is so eager to do it again. I personally have no desire to go back there. They basically ignored us the whole time we were there and all we did was eat.

Admittedly they are a little behind the times in terms of dress codes (they still require full business attire unless you're in your cube\/office).\n\nI made a lot of friends working there and I have adapted to their style and customs. Now my brother and his girlfriend are in the process of moving but due to unfortunate circumstances, they have no place to live at for the month. Since my brother is a genuinely good guy, I offered to let him and his gf stay in a spare room at my apartment for the time being.\n\nHis girlfriend on the otherhand I think is completely trashy and we don't get along too well. But we get along enough that I could tolerate being around her for a month.\n\nThe issue is that since last time I saw her, she got a few piercings, dyed a strip of her hair, and got a nose ring. The piercings and hair I could stomach but the nose ring is out of line. The reason for this is that if I take my brother out on trips near us, his gf wants to come and I constantly see coworkers\/bosses. This paints a negative picture of me and they start associating me with someone with the likes of her and that could be damaging.\n\nI took her aside and told her that if she is going to stay with me, rent free, could she at least remove her nose ring? She got pissed off and told my brother what I said. We got into an argument and are now giving each other the silent treatment.\n\nI don't ask much for them, I am letting them stay out of the goodness of my heart until they can move into their own place. All I wanted was her to remove a fucking ring and apparently it's such a big deal. I am baffled.

I noticed her drinking one today and I pointed it out and I was like I thought you were trying to be healthier?? And she got annoyed and told me she is and I should be “proud” because she used to drink atleast a can a day. And I took the soda from her and said she is not healthy until she stops it 100% otherwise her “efforts” to be healthy are literally useless. Now she’s pissed off at me that I won’t let her have this one thing, and she claims it’s not that bad. I’m just trying to help her and I feel like she needs some tough love. Sure it’s just a few sodas a month but those few sodas are canceling out all of her efforts. So at the end of the day she’s still unhealthy as fuck.

{"prompt":"So my wife is extremely into beauty &amp; skincare.

{"prompt":"Son is 14M, cat is 3F. My son’s bedroom is one the third floor of our house, so it’s basically a finished attic. Early in the morning, a thunderstorm rolled in. It was pretty brutal, and it shook the house especially up in his room. I yelled up to him to come downstairs to the first floor, just in case something happened. He yelled back to me that he was coming, he just needed to grab his cat. Well the cat is not usually great with being carried, but she was extra squirmy because she was freaked out and probably because she could tell my son was scared. Well it was almost five minutes after I told him to come down and I was freaking out so I ran upstairs and grabbed my son’s wrist and took him downstairs, without his cat. My son started hysterically crying and screaming about having to go back for his cat and that’s when I told him “the cat’s life can be replaced, yours can’t”. This just made him more upset.\n\nThankfully, the worst thing that happened was our neighbors’ tree got knocked into the street and the storm cleared out. But now my son is being really cold to me, and carrying his cat around in what seems like spite. I told him to stop with his attitude, and he started yelling at me that I was an “animal abuser”, which I am absolutely not. What you have to understand is when I grew up, our cats lived outside and sometimes showed up at night, sometimes stayed out. We never took them to the vet. If the cat died, a new stray cat would show up soon enough. So it was different in my childhood, and I was freaking out about the storm and was terrified that my son would get hurt.

{"prompt":"I don’t want to go too much into my medical issues, but I’m in week 15 of my pregnancy and my doctors told me I had an incompetent cervix.\n\nLong story short, their recommendation was that I go on modified bed rest until the baby is born. \n\nHowever, I happen to be leading a project at work. This project is one I’m extremely excited about and every time I put work into it, I feel like I’m doing something great. And that’s always been my first priority in life- to do something great. \n\nMy coworkers and bosses always praise me for getting great results regardless of personal sacrifice and I want to continue to do that.\n\nMy husband stopped me on my way to work and asked where on earth I thought I was going. I told him I had other obligations and unfortunately that meant sacrificing my health.\n\nHe said that the doctor put me in bed rest and I should be doing that of I might miscarry. I left to go to work anyway and he says I’m a covert narcissist who’s choosing admiration of others over the well being of her child\n\nAITA? I’m not a narcissist, but honestly I can’t stand staying at home where all I am is an upcoming “ weak momma” who relies on her husband to make the money. And this is before the baby is even born.\n\nMy husband promised that having a kid would not make me any less of the boss and accomplished person I am, but obviously he’s already not respecting the decisions I’m making regarding my own body. \n\nI know better than anyone when I’m in pain, so I feel it should be up to me to decide what to do with my body. ######","completion":" YTA. Perhaps the biggest A I've ever seen on this subreddit. And I will tell you why.\n\n**You are already aware of your incompetent cervix and apparently do not care.** Your doctor has likely explained the risks to you, and **you** have decided they are not important. You would rather go about your business. You're already a terrible mother.  \n\n\nMy wife found out about her incompetent cervix at 22 weeks into a relatively easy pregnancy, when she went into pre-term labor at 3AM. At that point, she was too dilated for the high risk OB to do anything, including hormone injections or  a cerclage. All we could do at that point was to give my wife some steroid injections in hopes that it would help our daughter's lungs develop a little more. My wife basically had to lay in bed for five days with her feet up in the air and her head tilted down in hopes that *gravity itself* would keep her from giving birth. That lasted five days. Finally, the discomfort and the grief became too much and we decided to go ahead and deliver. We had an entire team of NICU support staff in our room waiting to take our baby to a nearby table and try to intubate her, even though she may have been too small. They managed to do that. Then they whisked her away to the nearby children's hospital for round-the-clock care.\n\nShe lived there for two weeks before her lungs popped under the pressure of the ventilator. Three times. She had a series of surgeries to insert chest tubes and relieve the pressure, but it didn't last. We were finally called into the hospital at 5am with the understanding that the prognosis was very grim. We'd already met with palliative care at this point. The neonatologist on call that day said she would not feel comfortable performing another chest tube surgery. That it would be **unethical**. So that morning they turned down the ventilator and gave us as much time as we could to hold her. My wife held our daughter for about a half hour. I got around 30 minutes, too. And then she was gone. And suddenly we were parents without a child.\n\nSo to recap, here's what your brazen disdain for your kiddo's life will probably net you (if you're lucky):\n\n* A pre-term birth your child may not survive.\n* A short NICU stay.\n* A lengthy NICU stay at the best.\n* The inevitable divorce after your husband blames you for your child's death.\n\nFor my wife's second pregnancy, her office was *extremely* accommodating, which is great because she was and is still our breadwinner. She stayed home for the last few months aside from one or two trips out. I did the grocery shopping. I picked up dinner. She essentially became a remote employee for the back half, and she *still*  went into labor early, even with hormone injections and a cerclage.\n\n**TLDR: Not listening to your doctor will be the worst decision you ever make and you will likely kill your child by being such a blatant narcissist.** ######"}

She didn't want me to leave, but I needed to sleep and I couldn't do that in the hospital. I also needed a shower because I was starting to smell ripe due to the stress sweat.

That’s not to say that she doesn’t have a major depressive disorder, but it’s unlikely. I obviously did not tell her that she is not depressed, but I did tell her that almost everyone goes through this moment during a break up and even I did in my teenage years.\n\nMy daughter still insisted that she would love to see one.

{"prompt":"I am a fifth-grade teacher. Last year I had a student who had a  family that very difficult to deal with and was going through a divorce and the grandparents were overbearing and very hard. The student was a very average student not exceptional or bright, but her mother tended to believe she was beyond gifted. So we switched to remote learning and the student did not attend classes for the first week and then attended sporadically for the rest of the semester.  So her grades dropped from Bs and As to Ds. During the summer the mother contacted me to complain stating that the grades I gave hurt the child's chances of getting a scholarship to a private middle school, that the child was looking forward to attending. I told her if she was so concerned she should have made sure the child attended class regularly. She explained that she didn't have internet in her home for the first week and she and the child would have to drive to the Mcdonalds for the rest of the semester for the child to sit in on classes and that the father was not paying child support. She also explained that the custody agreement said that the father would have time with the child and those are the days the child wouldn't attend classes. I told her that the district offered help for parents without the internet and she said she had contacted them and never heard back. (Seems false to me) She also stated that the  father lied to her and said he had her in class. I told her that the child was old enough to get herself to watch the classes when she was with him. I told her it was simple, the child didn't met the requirements i have for grades and therefore she earned her Ds. AITA? ######","completion":" YTA. Looking at your comments, you were informed during the school year that the child had internet problems and issues at home, you weren’t reporting the grades so her mom thought she was still receiving A’s and B’s until July, when you decided to calculate in attendance and then she had D’s. You even said the mom immediately contacted you in July after final grades were posted. We are in unprecedented times and to have no compassion for your students is just disappointing.

I told her that $200 is a little much for a radio, and that it's strange to fork over so much money when she can stream radio for free. She said, \"Well, I'm very happy with my purchase, and that's what matters.\" I told her that she already has like 4 radios and doesn't need another one, and she said, \"I'll spend my money however I want.\" I told her that I'm just giving my opinion, and she said, \"Your opinion doesn't matter because you're not using it.\" I told her that was a little condescending, and she accused me of tone policing and getting off on telling women how to spend their money.\n\nAITA? I can't imagine spending half of my paycheck on something you can do for free with a phone app, and she didn't need to accuse me of sexism when gender had nothing to do with it. ######","completion":" YTA.

She doesn't want to have the wedding while she's pregnant and wants to have it afterwards. We've already paid a deposit for the venue so that's already more than 2 grand down the drain. I'm honestly already over the wedding and just want it over and done with so I told her we're either getting married on the date in September or we're just going to sign the papers and be done with it. She got upset and called her parents who are now yelling at me for this. For the sake of transparency they are offering to pay 3\/4 for the make up wedding but I'm not for that idea because then we'll have to wait a couple more months so the baby is old enough and so she can get back into her wedding dress.

MIL said that when you get older you lose tolerance for fake relationships and then she said \"the only people I really love are FIL, you, and my brother\"\n\nI was floored that she didn't include my husband or my kids. I confronted her the next day and asked if she meant that. MIL just kind of shrugged and said sometimes you chose your own family. She tried to backtrack and she said she might do it in the situation, but really she doesn't feel that same closeness and her best friend is more family to her than my kids.

He’s currently doing English as a second language, and he’s failing. Since she’s come home, and isn’t paying rent I asked her to tutor him for a while everyday, and make sure not to leave if he doesn’t finish his homework. \n\nIt’s been a few weeks since this arrangement, and she’s angry now. Apparently he doesn’t like to do his homework, and it takes hours to convince him to do it and there’s other things she’d rather be doing. \n\nShe says if she sits down with him at 2pm, he’ll take until 8pm to finish it because he plays with his xbox, phone and switch and slowly does the work after she begs him so she can leave. I do insist that she stays until he finishes his homework, but I don’t think that’s too much to ask. \n\nShe’s complaining that she doesn’t want to babysit her 13 year old brother for 6 hours a day until he’s ‘bothered to do his homework’.

We're both university students so money is kinda tight, but I saved up and I was finally able to buy it for him because he'd been talking about it for about a year. It was $600 for the switch, a game and the tax, so it wasn't exactly a small gift but he was so happy so it was worth it. Fast forward eight months and he mentions that he told his friend he would lend it to him for a few days to finish a game that he had started way back while they still lived together at university. I was a little bit upset when he told me after he already told his friend because I'm just... not fond of this idea. It doesn't help that I don't exactly like or trust this specific friend. But I also just don't like the idea of him lending something that I spent months saving up for, but maybe I'm being too overprotective and controlling. Because on the other hand, I understand that I gave it to him as a gift so it's his property and he can do as he wishes with it. Furthermore, it's one of his best friends and he trusts him alot. But when I asked him if he had asked his friend if he would pay to replace it if it was damaged but he says he doesn't need to ask cause that's not gonna happen.\n\nSo Reddit, am I the asshole if I ask my boyfriend not to lend the switch I bought to his friend?

Sara went to undergraduate school and her father and I supported her by paying half of her living expenses and college tuition. We did the same for Bella. They both worked during college, and Bella worked while doing unpaid internships. \n\nSara went to graduate school for social work and she took out loans to pay for her education. We helped her out with groceries as well as paying her car insurance and phone bill. She graduated and got a steady decently paying job a couple years back. \n\nBella graduated this winter and had been job searching throughout her last semester with no luck. Things took a turn for the worse when the pandemic hit, and all of her leads dried up. She couldn’t get the stimulus check, and she no longer had her college gig. She did some side work to get her self through while hoping that her job prospects would come back. Luckily one of the places she applied for hired her after three months of unemployment. She has been employed for one month and she makes an okay salary, nothing great, but she can live off of it.\n\nLong story short, I realized that my phone contract was up for renewal. I decided that since both bella and Sara are now employed I would take them off my plan. Sara took it well enough, but Bella got upset saying that Sara was able to stay on my plan four years longer than she did and that she is just beginning to recover from the financial hit of being unemployed during a pandemic.

Could be an interesting little experiment.\n\nHere is my side:\n\nWhen out and about, I am very honest when people ask me how I am doing or how my day is going. Whether it is the cashier at the grocery store, the bank teller, a neighbour, my kids' friends or boyfriends, their parents, etc., when they ask me how I'm doing or how my day is going I give them an honest answer. Sure, this sometimes means that the answer is negative, but I feel like if people don't want an actual answer, why would they ask in the first place? I pride myself on my honesty and on telling it like I see it, so I see no reason to be dishonest when asked a direct question. \n\nMy daughter's side:\n\nMy mom doesn't get that people ask this out of politeness and not because they actually want to know how she is. The grocery store cashier making minimum wage is just trying to do their job and doesn't actually give a shit how every customer is doing that day. It's a formality, and the thing to do is say \"Good, you?\" and move on. Also, she goes into way too much detail about what exactly is bothering her, has started crying at cash registers, to my boyfriend and friends, to anyone really when she is having a bad day or is stressed out, and doesn't see that this makes people uncomfortable who were basically just saying hello and hoping to move on with their day. It's really embarrassing. Also 'priding herself on honesty' is just a fancy way of saying that you don't care about being mean to people, imo....\n\nSo, Reddit, AITA?

Since I had most of this information from our time being together, I filled it out under his name. I did this with a few more churches of Scientology as well.

A few minutes later, he responded, saying that he needed a break from social media. Ultimately, he told me to not worry about it, and that he was going to delete his Instagram (10k followers) later that night. I figured I was off the hook. \n\nA few weeks later, I was with a mutual friend of ours, and she updated me on his situation.

She is very angry at me for fostering the negative relationship she and her siblings always had with their father (until they were 18 and older and he lightened up).  I basically made him out to be a bit of a monster to keep them in line.  He was home every single night and worked hard for us but I agree, was completely emotionally unavailable.  He treated them more like maids than his actual children, even calling them \"dishwashers\" instead of their actual names sometimes. We ask Lauren to do chores sometimes but we really do treat her like a princess.  The issue almost seems like we treat her too well!  D said we shouldn't be rewarded with all this time with her daughter when we won't own up to a lot of things in her and her siblings childhood.  I actually don't totally disagree with her but my husband is much more oblivious.  I don't think we can own up to what she wants us to own up to.  She mentioned WAY MORE than what I've told you here, but it hurts to admit it and I'm not sure of the word count I'm allowed here.  I had a horrible relationship with my mother growing up but I got over it and now we have a great relationship!  Is she the AH or are we? ######","completion":" YTA. If you owe your daughter an apology for her childhood, you should give it. Your relationship with your own mother has nothing to do with your relationship with your own daughter. As far as wanting to spend time with your granddaughter, that’s all well and good, but her mother gets to decide whether or not that happens. ######"}

{"prompt":"Some quick context. Happily married for 4 years, 2 kids aged 6 months and 2. Wife is a SAHM. I work full-time. We split household duties pretty evenly (I do laundry, she cooks, etc.). And I help with the kids during the day (WFH due to COVID) and of course after work day is over. No complaints from me. \n\nThe other day, my wife was chatting with her friends, and I overheard the other wives complaining about their husbands not helping with the children at all. One plays video games 6 hours a day. The other is a sports fanatic. It sort of reminded me that I seriously haven’t had more than a handful of moments to myself in the last 3 years since my wife became pregnant with our first. I’ve given up following all my favorite sports teams, never hang out with anyone anymore. Life just completely consumed with work and domestic life. My friends are all childless, so no help there. Got me thinking maybe I deserved a little downtime. Not much just enough to recharge. \n\nSo I gently asked my wife if I could have an hour to myself each day. She flipped out. Said I was selfish. She doesn’t get time off, why should I? Called me a sexist for assuming the man could avoid childcare (preposterous since I’m doing the exact opposite now). To appease her I just dropped the issue. But feeling kind of bitter. What do other fathers do? AITA? ######","completion":" YTA. I think the \"four hours of downtime\" is absolutely a number you pulled out of thin air. You have two children under the age of three. They will never not need supervision at those ages. Even if the oldest goes to daycare, since you did not mention it in your list of responsibilities, I am assuming your wife is in charge of preparing everything your child needs for daycare and doing pick up\/drop off. This is not down time.  Grocery shopping for the family while you watch the kids is also not downtime for her. You do not get \"credit\" for watching your children while your wife poops, since I'm sure she does the same for you.\n\nYour wife's immediate response was if she gets no time off, why should you? A fair question. When you say you haven't had a moment to yourself since your wife got pregnant with your first, imagine what it has been like for YOUR WIFE who was ACTUALLY PREGNANT, TWICE. You are not TA for wanting some time off; you ARE TA for being massively selfish and not trying to plan for you BOTH to have some time off to yourselves. Do not sink to the level of your peers in the laziest dad competition!\n\nI think an hour a day is extremely unrealistic for the ages of your children; if I were you I would set a goal of one hour of free time a WEEK for EACH of you and go from there. Except for a crazy emergency like a kid getting sick, treat this designated time as SACRED for your partner. If your wife is having her hour of free time, YOU GOT THIS. You are superdad for that hour. Do not make her feel anything less than free to relax. Then she can reciprocate when it is your hour and you will both feel refreshed instead of resentful. ######"}

I have two daughters; I paid for the entire cost of the wedding for the first one since I believe in that tradition. \n\nThe problem now is my second daughter (Emma) is getting married to a woman (she's a lesbian). Now she's not very traditional as in she doesn't want anyone to walk her down the aisle and neither her or her fiancee asked the others parents permission for marriage. This isn't a problem for me since it's her wedding but it's interesting that she is picking and choosing which traditions to follow, but that's just me.  She asked a few days ago, if I would be willing to contribute to her wedding (since I paid for my first daughter's (Emily)). I told her I would but I would only pay for as much as her fiancee's family since the burden is on their bride's family and there are two brides. She got annoyed at me and said that wouldn't work since her fiancee's family aren't as well to do as our family. She claimed I was being homophobic because I paid for Emily's wedding.

{"prompt":"My daughter recently turned 18 and her boyfriend is 20. They’ve been together for three years, and my daughter has constantly asked to stay the night at his house or have him stay at our house, and every single time I’ve said no.

My daughter and her boyfriend ‘hang out’ almost every day, and my curfew for her is midnight. I usually fall asleep before she comes home, but I always see her home in the morning. She wasn’t at home this morning, though. I wake up at 6 AM to go to work, and I peeked in her room and saw she was gone. I immediately called her, she picked up and told me she slept over at her boyfriend’s house because ‘they both accidentally passed out.’ I told her to come home immediately. Her boyfriend brought her over and I grounded her, telling her she can’t see him for one week. She got extremely upset going on and on about how she’s an adult now and doesn’t see an issue if she stays over with him. She’s living under my roof and I feel disrespected that she flat out ignored my rule I’ve had set for three years now.

If your daughter had a physical illness, would you treat her this way? Would you say \"Yeah my daughter was meant to have a job interview but she had a 'broken leg' and couldn't go. I shouted at her to just grow up and get over her broken leg\"? Probably not. But it's the same thing.\n\nEdit: I can see that you've said she has tried therapy, but how many times? Has she tried different therapists? Different treatments work for different people. ######"}

{"prompt":"I (29M) am engaged with my fiance (26F). My coworker (30F) and I are also decently close, as in we're somewhat friends (more than coworkers, less than friends). We were talking about my engagement and I told her about the ring I bought. It is a \"cheap\" ring with a zirkonia stone. It cost me around €220, which I still thought was relatively expensive. To me spending half your monthly salary on a ring is just a waste of money. Luckily my fiance always agreed with me so we never had any issues about that. My coworker mentioned how she expected a ring of at least a €1000 and if her boyfriend does not proposes with a ring like that she is going to say no. So I asked her, that if she was together with someone she really loved, and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him and he asked her to marry her with a cheaper ring, if she seriously would say no. She laughed and said of course. That is when I said that to me she would be unmarriageable because if you care more about the ring than about the person you are going to marry, that would be a hard pass for me. She made a face and called me an asshole and that it was just her opinion. Maybe I was a bit biased because to me the whole concept of asking someone to marry you with an expensive ring and expecting only the man to make \"a grand gesture\" is super sexist and outdated.

I don't disagree with you, but an engagement ring is very personal and people are allowed to put some value in that. $1000 is not at all expensive for an engagement ring - most people would consider that cheap. The ring is an important symbol of commitment and something the woman has to wear for the rest of her life. She better like it. As long as your coworker didn't insult your ring and personal choices, you have no right to insult hers. It's fine to think an expensive engagement ring is stupid, but to tell her she's \"unmarriageable\" for wanting to marry someone who's on the same page about what she wants in a ring?\n\nYTA.

{"prompt":"So we wanted the internet to settle this debate. I've been staying with my friend Kate for a little while at her beach house. We've been best friends since college, so obviously boundaries have kind of gone to the wayside.  Kate has two daughters who are 18 and 16 and the 18 year old's boyfriend was visiting. His family isn't big on either of us.\n\nWe were out on her husband's boat and he was fishing. Kate was laying down on the dock of the boat sunbathing. For context she is afraid of literally everything, so her husband motioned to me that he was going to throw the dead (well I think it was dead, Kate claims it was wiggling when it hit her) fish at her. I untied just the top part of her bikini. Her husband saw me do it and didn't stop me. So he threw the fish, Kate freaked out, and the bikini fell down. The boyfriend did not see this part if it matters. \n\nThis is pretty normal dynamic for us, but her daughter got pissed because she thinks that this is why her boyfriend's parents don't like her, and she says her mom is embarrassing. Kate said I'm an asshole because she is fighting with her daughter over this. Her husband thinks I'm funny though. ######","completion":" YTA.

Now he has over 10 million dollars and has everythimg he ever wanted but never forgets where he started. The problem comes when I was talking to him about selling the company.

My brother and his wife separated about 3 years ago, and he moved out of the country, while my nephew stayed here with his mother and brother. When the breakup happened, all of our side of the family tried not to take sides, as there was infidelity involved - we didn't want to cut off my brother, but we also didn't want to see them stuck.\n\nWe(the extended family) helped them find a new house and gave them some furniture and such to get them restarted. Personally I did a lot of driving back and forth to their area as well, dropping off people and bits to help them. Since then, we haven't really seen much of them, but we bump into them from time to time at family functions.\n\nLast year we were at one such function (i can't remember what it was), and they were all there. Since we'd last seen them, our daughter had been born, and the nephew came out with the observation \"Oh, I'd forgotten you guys had a baby\". It wasn't anything offensive, but I was a little pissed off that he had forgotten the existence of my daughter - we had been there a lot for them in a tough time, and I don't think it was much to at least expect that.\n\nFast forward to this week - his birthday had been earlier in the week. Since all the kids in the extended family had gotten over the age of 16, we usually just tended to stick £50 in a card and that was usually the end of it. This year for said nephew, I decided not to send him a card, or indeed wish him a happy birthday. The next day I got a call from his mum asking why I hadn't sent a card - to which I replied \"oh I forgot it was his birthday\".

I would however say that my work is significantly more flexible in terms of when I work, I can work any time of day 24 hours a day. I just try my best to manage my time and squeeze in 40-50 hours a week. This is not to say that I take it easy, rather my job is very mentally draining and I cant focus on it for more than a few hours at a time without feeling exhausted.

However, the months on end of doing this have started to ware away at my enthusiam. Ultimately, the other day, after doing the majority of house duties for the day, the straw that broke the camels back was her working past midnight noting that she started work at 7:30\/8 am.

There are some kids who understand that and would want to do anything they could to make their “half-siblings” feel like they’re wanted and accepted and just as good as a full-sibling. And then there are immature kids who don’t care about anyone’s feelings and think it’s cool to separate themselves from their annoying\/embarrassing siblings, airhead moms, and cowardly step-dads. Newsflash: you’re lucky to have a family that loves you and a sister who wants to play with you and be around you. Get over yourself. ######"}

She was raving about how \"good\" of a deal it was, even though you can get a radio for $5 these days, not considering that she's paying $200 to sit through commercials and crappy music. I told her that $200 is a little much for a radio, and that it's strange to fork over so much money when she can stream radio for free. She said, \"Well, I'm very happy with my purchase, and that's what matters.\" I told her that she already has like 4 radios and doesn't need another one, and she said, \"I'll spend my money however I want.\" I told her that I'm just giving my opinion, and she said, \"Your opinion doesn't matter because you're not using it.\" I told her that was a little condescending, and she accused me of tone policing and getting off on telling women how to spend their money.\n\nAITA?

{"prompt":"My (43F) daughter (17F) has a friend I’ll call Annie. They went to high school together, both graduated just over a year ago now (my daughter skipped a grade so graduated early). They weren’t really close during actual school, but became pretty close around prom\/graduation time. Last August Annie helped my daughter get a job at the cafe she worked at and they became best friends pretty quickly and started spending most of their time together, both at work and outside of it. \n\nThings seemed fine with them until January, when my daughter quit the cafe job and went back to her old one that she had before.

Some kids showed interest, so I set up a zoom call. In it, I talked about a lot of standard stuff— extracurriculars, grades, testing, essays. Someone asked me about social life and dating, and I told them honestly that I basically gave up my social life to grind 24\/7— I had a pretty good social life to begin with since I’d say I was a friendly and chill guy, but I gave up a lot of social opportunities to work to secure my future. Someone brought up that I had dated a girl (smallish town, people know things), so I told him that I broke up with her because she and I had different goals— she wanted to have fun and make memories, I wanted to work hard, so we broke up and I worked hard and she made memories with other guys.

{"prompt":"The tile sounds bad, but let me offer some backstory. Me and my girlfriend of 3 years broke up right before the pandemic started and recently got back together over the summer. I am attending a University in the city and I needed to get an apartment for my research opportunities. All of the dorms in the area are closed or vacating rooms due to classes online and in effort for my girlfriend to get away from her small town and overbearing parents, she asked if she could stay with me. This was fine because I had money to completely cover the lease and I was aware of how her parents treated her and her need to get away. Upon coming to the apartment, weeks have gone by and we argue very frequently and at times it becomes a toxic environment. She is the type to storm off and leave while disappearing for hours when she is mad, often going to friends houses or taking a drive. She wants me to drive her back to her home state so she can live here with her car and I made it very clear that I was against this. HERE is the issue, because of the current pandemic and how absent minded she gets when she is upset, with a car I know she will be around a lot of people I dont know, going to certain event, ect. I AM NOT comfortable with this considering that I value my well being and have been taking steps to ensure our safety. I said if she brings her car up here then she will have to find some other place to live, and even offered to help pay the down payment. I told her that I have no issue with her taking my car to go to work, or go to necessary places, but I know having her car up here will give her the freedom to be willingly ignorant to safety just because she can.

She would enthusiastically wave and say hi to most people, including me. I offered to help her load her groceries in her car, but she politely declined.

{"prompt":"Most of the kids in my child’s Texas school district returned to class face-to-face this week, although about 20-30% of the students are still working from home. I received an email from one of my kid’s teachers introducing themselves and letting parents know that their class was “blended learning” where all the kids (virtual AND face to face) watch videos to learn the class content and turn assignments in online. I was pretty upset with this; why is my child even going to school when they’re not going to be taught F2F? I responded to the teacher’s email and asked for clarification on if they were ACTUALLY teaching the kids who physically show up for class. They responded with some diplomatic bs about needing to provide the same opportunities to F2F and virtual students, they always answer any student questions, and the school board is requiring teachers to have lessons prepared in advance in case they’re exposed to the virus and have to quarantine. I truthfully just think it’s all stupid and this teacher is lazy. Teachers in my state make good money, get half the year off, and now they get to sit behind their desks the entire work day doing nothing? My taxes pay their salary. I communicated this to the teacher, saying respectfully that my child has a right to a better education than being taught by a YouTube video. I copied an assistant principal from the school and my wife on my response, but now my wife is upset with me and saying that I’m TA for “harassing” this teacher.

I told them that it was ultimately their choice but it bothered me and I'd ask that they use another name if they didn't mind. They were really nice about it and said they understood my point. They may use his middle name, but they aren't going to use his first name. \n\nI don't think what I did was inappropriate, but my husband said I was acting entitled and like an asshole. He thinks I should have minded my own business instead of telling his friend and his friend's wife not to name their baby after him. I am not sure if his criticism is valid or if he's just upset that he won't get his namesake now. ######","completion":" YTA.

Then my roommate and her male friend came back into our room to watch a TV show. She knows I'm a super deep sleeper, and I reiterated the point to tell her that they didn't have to whisper, especially since it was her birthday. I wished them goodnight then eventually fell asleep to the sounds of them laughing at what was on TV. \n\nThis afternoon when we were talking she told me about her night, slipping in there that she had had sex with him in our room last night and kicked him out before I woke up. I didn't indicate that anything was wrong, because I didn't want to ruin the casual mood we were having. However, I became really uncomfortable. I wasn't awake for it, and had she asked, I probably would have said that was fine. But she didn't, and it sort of feels nonconsensual to me. \n\nI just texted her saying that it made me uncomfortable, and she hasn't responded yet.

She doesn't season anything, ever, even chicken. If a recipe calls for 4 chillies, she'll use half of one, or omit it entirely. When I went to stay with her over Xmas, she insisted on cooking for me, but I had to season all my own food on the plate to give it even an ounce of flavour. It's not a health thing, she says that food should 'taste like what it is' and that seasoning is 'cheating'. \n\nEvery Wednesday for the past 6 years, my wife and I have eaten a particular curry that we love.

{"prompt":"So in our drama class, we decided to host a play. The play goes around the central theme of twins being mistaken for each other and deciding on taking advantage of that. The entire play is based on the fact that the twins are identical. \n\nWe decided on doing this play because my best friend has an identical twin, and they both are in drama.  However, we still had to hold an audition for fairness and for the other roles, and I was the casting director. \n\nMy best friend (lets call her twin 1) auditioned for the role of twin 1 and got it, but when it came to the role of twin 2, another girl came to audition. It was her and twin 1's twin, and I decided to give the role to the twin for obvious reasons (it is necessary for the twins to be identical).\n\nNon-twin filed a complaint to the school and the drama council that I was racist (my friend was white and so was her twin, while non-twin was black) and I had to explain that while she did a great job, but to be in the play you have to look similar to the twin and be fitted to the character. She said that I was racist and that her skin color should not limit her roles. \n\nAnyway, I was cut off from my drama club, and I am shunned by my entire school. There are people who don't think I am racist, but they are too afraid to say so. I saw the practice of the play, and I HATE how people are pretending the story makes sense, but since they look so different, it absolutely looks crazy. Imagine the whole point of the story being that A and B look alike, but A is a 5'7 white girl and B is a 5'2 black girl. I think people are crazy for pretending they look identical, and that \"they do not see a difference\".

Prednisone is not to be taken long-term, so her doctor wants her to start on a biologic drug called Humira. I am very much against this, because these drugs are strong immune system suppressants that also have the potential to cause cancer... Nasty stuff.\n\nFor years and years I've done research on natural remedies and supplements that are good for the body.. I raised my kids on them and I believe that with a strict diet and consistently taking dietary supplements, my daughter's inflammation will go down and she wont NEED to take the crappy medicine her doctor recommends.

She won't listen to me no matter what I tell her about the medicine and what these supplements will do for her..\n\nInitially I said that I would not help pay for this medicine (it's expensive).

{"prompt":"My wife and I had a baby girl about 8 weeks ago. I love her, but to me she looks like any other baby I've ever seen. I don't think she looks like either myself or my wife, which is fine. I don't think she should at this point, and even if she never does, so what? It's not a big deal. However, my family is different. \n\nWhen my parents visited us my mother went on and on about how much my daughter looks like me. Then my wife joined in and started saying the same thing; she has said it before but this time was much more over the top. I thought they both were being ridiculous since I didn't see any resemblance myself, and I told them I thought they were imagining things. \n\nThis led to them both trying to convince me of how much my daughter looks like me. I kept denying it until finally the conversation ended. \n\nMy wife has been upset ever since that day because I continue to deny that I see any likeness. She has taken my denials to mean I don't think our daughter is mine and is demanding we get a paternity test done now because I refuse to say my daughter looks like me. She also is upset because she says that I embarrassed her by \"denying\" our daughter in front of my mom.\n\nI don't want or need one, but why is it a crime to say I don't think our daughter looks like me? She and my mother both act like I am the asshole for simply stating facts or my belief. I don't understand their weird obsession or why I have to agree to see things that aren't there or be the asshole.

{"prompt":"I work as attorney. I focus on criminal law so I'm pretty versed in other areas of law. My partner has a friend (\"Diana\") who loves giving out legal advice even though she is not a lawyer. For example, another friend of my partner said she might be fired soon. Diana claimed that an employer can't just fire you without a reason and if they do then you sue them. Ignorant shit like that.\n\nMy favorite is when she say \"don't worry, everything will be okay\" when in reality, based on the problem they have, they SHOULD be worried. The lawyer in me wants to jump in and correct her. I don't because that ends up with my going in some rabbit hole with people who can't handle being wrong and usually resort calling you \"racist\" or something. Diana would turn it into a debate about her beliefs and not what's lawful\/unlawful.  So I let them shoot themselves in the foot. \n\nThe other night, another friend of hers posted a concern she had about taxes on FB. Diana gave a very incorrect answer (which was to the effect of \"you will loose more money if you do that with your taxes!\") to her question. I injected and asked them if they wanted some real legal advice, which they did. I said never seek legal advice from people who don't know the difference between \"loose\" and \"lose.\" That humiliated her.\n\nMy partner said I was out of line and Diana was trying to help. I said Diana has no business dispensing legal advice when she has no idea what she's talking about. ######","completion":" YTA.

So first demerit falls there.  Lay people give weird advice about the law all the time.  I see it happen everyday.

You gave no meaningful correction or help to her advice; and instead chose to ridicule her intelligence—which not cool. ######"}

{"prompt":"So my daughter’s 7th birthday was last month and my mother-in-law got her these dolls called LOL dolls from target. They looked like mini versions of Bratz dolls but I didn’t think anything of it as they looked like regular dolls. These dolls happen to be my daughter’s favorite toys and I actually bought her more of these dolls from Target.\n\nWell, today I was scrolling on Facebook and this viral video of a mom warning about these dolls. She undressed the dolls and dipped the dolls in water, once the dolls were dipped in water they start wearing lingerie. my jaw dropped, some of the dolls had fishnets on, lower back tattoos, stockings, and bondage outfits. Part of me thought this is too disgusting to be true so I took some of my daughters dolls in a bowl of water and it wasn’t a conspiracy theory, two of the dolls had lingerie on when i dipped them in water. This was no where to be seen on the packaging or any of the information that came with the toys.\n\nI felt so disgusted that i even bought these toys so i threw them all away. when my daughter found out she had a full on melt down and screamed at me. I couldn’t tell her the full extent of why i threw them away so I told her that the dolls had on inappropriate clothing when you dipped them in water. \n\ni told my mother-in-law about the dolls and showed her the facebook video and she’s now very angry with me saying that the dolls weren’t inappropriate and apart of their rocker aesthetic.    she’s demanding that i pay her back the money she spent on the dolls because they were expensive. I don’t know if anyone else saw the facebook video but am i in the right for throwing the dolls away? ######","completion":" YTA.  \n\nYou are right to be concerned.  But you also need to respect that those dolls didn't belong to you, they belonged to your daughter.  And you need to consider not just the impact on your daughter if she figures out the dip in water thing, but also the **impact on your relationship with your daughter caused by taking her possessions she loves and destroying them**.  Imagine if someone took away something you love and trashed it- you'd probably want them out of your life ASAP.  \n\nI want you to take a step back for a moment.  Imagine your daughter sees an image of a woman in fishnets, with a tattoo, stockings, etc.  Would she even know what that is?  How much ACTUAL harm do you think would be done?  And when (be realistic) do you think she will encounter this image on her own (perhaps in movies or TV)?  \n\nOTOH, how much harm do you think was done when her mother, the person she trusts (trusted) most in the world, someone she would go to with her problems, someone who she *knows* loves her more than anything, takes her possessions and trashes them without warning or explanation?  That teaches her that mother is not to be trusted, mother will sometimes do malicious things (from her POV) and won't have much reason why.  And so she learns, maybe that unconditional love for mom shouldn't be so unconditional.  \n\nThat doesn't mean you aren't right to be upset about the dolls.  What you should maybe have tried is explain to her that under some circumstances the clothing on the dolls can change, explained to her the difference between appropriate and inappropriate clothing (IE people should cover their private parts), and explain that sometimes things that are bad are presented as being cool or fun by people who want you to buy or do bad things.  \nOr maybe you could have explained that there was a problem with the toys and their manufacturing got screwed up so they are dangerous, so you want to trade with her- she will give up the LOL dolls but you will replace them with something good of her choice so let's go to Amazon or the toy store and pick something out together.  \nOr you could have been patient, and waited for her to get bored of the LOL dolls, and then it would have been easier to get rid of them.  \nOr you could have been clever- give the dolls a coating with some pink spraypaint or a permanent paint marker.  Thus the 'hidden outfit' never appears.  This could even have been an activity you do with her.  \n\nYour protective emotion comes from the right place.  But you need to keep it in check and recognize that YOU CAN HURT HER way more than a doll with some paint on it. ######"}

{"prompt":"So a bit of a backstory is I’m a (27M) in a relationship with a (25M). We’ve been together for two years now, and I do love my boyfriend. The only thing is that he has a pretty severe stutter. His speech impediment isn’t so bad when it’s just me and him, but his anxiety towards his speech goes through the roof when we’re out in public. \n\nIn the beginning of our relationship, he would always have me order or speak on his behalf because it lessened his anxiety. But for the past couple months, he’s been taking speech therapy classes and is determined to speak for himself now out in public. The only thing is that he still cannot speak well. Nobody understands him at restaurants, and what should be a quick two minute chat turns into a 30 minute drawn out conversation where the other person is clearly uncomfortable because they can’t understand him. \n\nSo I’ve been continuing to speak on his behalf to make things easier for everyone, even though that goes against his wishes and it’s obvious he’s angry with me. He said he needs to practice speaking, but isn’t that what his therapy is for? It obviously makes other people uncomfortable and causes anxiety for my boyfriend, even though he’s trying not to admit it. So am AITA for continuing to speak on his behalf even though he’s told me to stop? ######","completion":" YTA! He needs to do this on his own and you’re being really inconsiderate.

{"prompt":"Celia dumped me last night and gave me a list of reasons why.  Some of them I can understand why and I should have been a better boyfriend to her but there is one that I don't get where's shes coming from.\n\nMy now ex turned twenty one in November 2018.  We had been dating for almost a year.  So there's this indy movie theater in our town that shows old or foreign movies every weekend.  And one weekend, they were going to be showing the Naruto movie for the first time.  My friends and I fucking love Naruto but it was screening the same Friday as Celia's birthday.  In hindsight, I should have just asked Celia if we could celebrate her birthday some other time but I had already been hyping her up on taking her out for a movie and drinks with friends and I already dug myself in too deep for it.  And she was going to be out of the country for this study abroad thing so I wasn't to see her for months afterward.  \n\nSo Celia wanted to do drinks but she wanted to see another movie that was getting some pretty crappy reviews.  So I talked her into watching the Naruto movie instead because it was awesome and it would be cool to watch a foreign film on her birthday (Celia loves foreign movies).  She was reluctant but had a good time that night.  I didn't think about it again until she brought it last night.\n\nCelia told me she was pissed that I pulled a bait and switch on her birthday plans.  Especially at the bar after the movie when our friends were gushing about Naruto (her words, not mine), she felt left out and wishing she watched that new Harry Potter movie instead.  \n\nWas it an asshole move though?  I should have paid Celia more attention in hindsight but we got to do movie and drinks like she wanted?  The theater was showing Naruto that one night only and she could have watched her movie any time she wanted, even in another country. ######","completion":" YTA! \n\nHer birthday dude!!!

{"prompt":"Hello AITA,\n\nI've found myself somewhat confused by a recent interaction, and so I thought I'd come to see how wrong I may or may not have been.\n\nI normally live in a relatively major city; there, it is considered quite common that, as long as you keep buying drinks and don't cause trouble or too much noise, you can sit at a table and work on your laptop as long as you want. I would say that I've never seen this cafe at more than 50% capacity, and I'd say that half the customers do not buy any drinks, but just talk to the staff, and then leave.\n\nDue to COVID, I've ended up back in an old hometown. I tend to do my work remotely, and I found a local cafe with about 10 tables to work at. I've gone 5 times, I'd say. I buy my drink, find a single table to sit at, set up my laptop. I work from 11am to 3pm, and then I get up and leave. I make a real point to never leave mess, I always tip when ordering the drink, and I'd say over the 4 hours I work, I normally buy 1-3 drinks at about £3.15 per drink, plus I give the last change of what I pay as a tip (usually like 5 or 10p or whatever).\n\nToday, as I cleaned up and dropped off the cup to the counter, the staff member stops me and says, neither politely nor rudely, that she didn't want me to come back anymore, that the shop was independent, that I was using too much electricity *(I plug my laptop into a socket)*, and that I stay too long *(I stay at most 4 hours, as it closes at 3pm, or if I get there after lunch, I'll stay 2 hours)*. I repeated the line about me using too much electricity *(I'd never heard such a thing in my life; it wasn't like I'd brought an extension cable and used it to mine bitcoin, I was literally only using a MacBook charger).* I was shocked, and left without really saying much after that. \n\nAITA? ######","completion":" YTA: I know you didn't intend to be, but you kind of are in this situation. You're occupying a table for 4 hours and leaving a very minimal tip and spending very little money while there. I don't know about where you are, but here in the US restaurants and bars are limited to a small percentage of their occupancy because of COVID. That means you're taking tables away from other people who could be using them for those 4 hours and not even coming close to compensating the staff for the money they'd make if there were 5 or 6 different parties seated at your table during that time. Stop by and get a drink but do your work somewhere else or from home. Unless you asked before you started being there for 4 hours a day on a regular basis, YTA. ######"}

MIL is hispanic and FIL is white, and i feel like they wouldn't use that specific term if she was white as well. MIL recently went nuclear and got FIL to cut all of his children out of the will. \n\nUp until that point he had been leaving about 70% of his money to her anyway and it is more money than she could possible need, so I know it is based on punishing DH and her stepkids. He changed his will and is leaving them $10 each so they can't contest it.\n\nWe had dinner last night and of course making fun of her is our favorite topic, but the mail order bride thing came up again, combined with how they say her name.

I just have my dad and the mail order bride. I asked if she was white if they would call her that and DH and his siblings got very upset. MIL is half hispanic, so DH is mostly white and doesn't feel any connection. They all told me i was overreacting. I said we can call her a slut and a bitch just fine, and we don't need to use that term or make fun of her name.

When they realized we weren’t leaving they began banging on the door all hours of the night and verbally abusing us. They scream the worst things imaginable and make sure we can’t sleep.

Last night my parents slept and at my uncles house and my aunt and uncle took the night shift, so they are at least getting some rest. I can’t even try to go to the bathroom without someone chasing me down the hall berating me.\n\nI just couldn’t take it. My parents came home this morning and my dad took my breakfast and threw it away. I left and said I’d sleep in the car. I tried to convince my wife but she says she isn’t going to let them win. I begged her to come but then I just left. She called me crying an hour ago, still refusing to leave, but she says they blocked her car in and won’t let her leave to buy groceries.

I asked her once again, to which she says, \"I'm the only one listening to it, so it doesn't matter.\" I told her she was being defensive for no reason, and she went on about how she doesn't owe me a reason for buying things, and that it'd be pointless to explain radio because \"nobody ever understands\" (is she 14?).\n\nAITA?

{"prompt":"I (19F) got my boyfriend(20M) of 3 years a switch back in January as a gift. We're both university students so money is kinda tight, but I saved up and I was finally able to buy it for him because he'd been talking about it for about a year. It was $600 for the switch, a game and the tax, so it wasn't exactly a small gift but he was so happy so it was worth it. Fast forward eight months and he mentions that he told his friend he would lend it to him for a few days to finish a game that he had started way back while they still lived together at university. I was a little bit upset when he told me after he already told his friend because I'm just... not fond of this idea. It doesn't help that I don't exactly like or trust this specific friend. But I also just don't like the idea of him lending something that I spent months saving up for, but maybe I'm being too overprotective and controlling. Because on the other hand, I understand that I gave it to him as a gift so it's his property and he can do as he wishes with it. Furthermore, it's one of his best friends and he trusts him alot. But when I asked him if he had asked his friend if he would pay to replace it if it was damaged but he says he doesn't need to ask cause that's not gonna happen.\n\nSo Reddit, am I the asshole if I ask my boyfriend not to lend the switch I bought to his friend?

As soon as I asked how often she sees him, her tone completely changed. She rolled her eyes and said “bold of you to assume I didn’t keep my child. Maybe you would have given up yours but I love my son and love raising him.” I never assumed she gave him up for adoption or anything.

He had a convo with him but heres the problem: he doesnt talk to minors at all (in dms anyway). He also made this tweet that dating under 21s is weird for him because he's old and his not even being legally able to drink would freak him out (personal preference?).

He asked my age and pronouns as he does with everyone and I don't know what possessed me but I told him I'm 22. Well, we did become friends, I kind of flirted, he flirted back, we binged tv shows together and got very close. He asked me out in early June and now we're happily dating. Problem is, I feel like an asshole because I feel like I'm lying to him. I talked to a friend about it and she basically called me an asshole as well and told me to \"leave this poor man alone\" but he's so good and nice and talented.

{"prompt":"So my GF technically has an account with Disney+. Someone ended up creating an account using her email address (it wasn't the account creator's fault, it was a fuck up on Gmail's end).

For example, a man used my email to purchase a jersey from a Phillies game, another woman in Ohio signed up for Chipotle Rewards a few months later with my email, and a few months after THAT I received an email that someone had signed up for Disney+ using my email. After extensive googling and trying to find the source of the problem I haven’t been able to find any explanation, aside from possibly a mistake on Google’s end. I don’t use the accounts and don’t touch them for the most part, but after I logged into Disney+ I double checked and sure enough there’s my email under account information, with almost no other information about the actual account holder aside from a linked credit card and an annual subscription paid in full.\"\n\nSo, onto the moral dilemma. Hamilton comes to Disney+ on July 3rd and I really, really, really want to watch it. My GF doesn't want me to give money to Disney as a corporation and promised to pirate it for me, but I'm impatient and jokingly threatened to get a one-month subscription.

This includes snippets of videos, naked pictures, and close up pictures of his regions. When these videos come up on my feed, I admittedly watch them. I’ve never masturbated to them. I just find them interesting. I usually will stop, watch the snippet, and then keep scrolling like normal. I hadn’t thought much of it but when my boyfriend found out that I looked at them at all he freaked out. I didn’t think it was that big of a deal. It’s just kind of part of following his brother on twitter. But, I told him I would unfollow him if it would make him more comfortable. But, he seems more upset on principle than anything.

{"prompt":"i (46m) have a daughter (19f) who has anxiety. She was fine both socially and mentally before, but around age 12\/13 something happened to her. I'm guessing its her starting high school that made her start having it, because she'd skip class constantly and fake being sick all the time. This made her social life crumble and me and her argue all the time.\n\nShe currently still lives with us, doesn't have any friends or a job. She mostly spends time on the computer. She gets \"panic attacks\" from needing to things like make a phone call, or awnser the door. Most of this anxiety seems to come her not wanting to grow up and being scared of the world. I was first symathetic, but its gotten to the point where she's a freeloader who doesn't try to do anything. I don't hate her, but i wish she'd move out so me and my wife could have some time where we don't focus all of our time and attention on her anymore, but on each other.\n\nYesterday, she went to a job interview and she was understandably nervous. I was too when i got my first job, and i tried to make her know she can do it. I was really happy she decided to try and become independent, and hoped this would to a chain of events making us free from her. \n\nIt went great, until she called crying and said she apprently was to scared to continue the interview and ran away when she said to the interviewer she just needed to go to the bathroom. this was the last straw for me. I yelled at her saying its time to grow up and she can't let her fears control her, and she has to get a job or i'm kicking her out of the house. I was tired of letting her rule the household, just because her mind a little fucked up. She got really upset when she came home, and wouldn't talk to me. My wife (who coddles her quite alot) got really mad at me, saying to me that she needs time.

I doubt that’s helping your daughter.\n\nIf you don’t want to take medicine yourself that’s on you - you take the consequences - but you suck for projecting that attitude into your daughter.\n\nIf you ever break your leg, will you eschew hospitals and treat it “naturally”, seeing as apparently nature’s way is so much better and kinder than that of modern medicine? Or, heavens forbid, if your daughter ever contracted a serious infection (ie sepsis), would you just shrug and go, “well, nature will take care of it!”\n\nHow is this any different? Not everyone suits anxiety medication, but for some it’s the difference between functionality and not.\n\nEDIT: so apparently you’ll take pills when something is “serious”. Lol. If you’re going to spout off about “natural remedies”, especially in a mental health context, at least have the courage to implement that principle to its full conclusion. Why would seriousness matter if nature’s way is better? ######"}

{"prompt":"I got engaged recently to the absolute love of my life. Now this relationship was born out of a lot of drama.

That's all over and things have been great for the past year.\n\nSo I have two sisters, Rose and Diane. At the time this was happening they were both living with our parents, so when I'd come by to see Rose, Diane would overhear a lot of this and she never liked my fiance.

That job was always a temporary means to an end well I looked for a husband. Also she judges him for the cheating, which again I see, but it is none of her business, and she thinks he's too old for me (32 and 24) I've since stopped working and of course Diane doesn't like that either. \n\nDiane has always been outspoken about her political beliefs. That's fine but there is a time and a place, and I don't need to be told how to live my life. Every single time she is around my fiance she has something snarky to say. For example, he was trying to throw Rose into a pool (they're super close) and Diane had to make it an issue of consent, and laughing at a girl screaming is not funny. \n\nI don't need someone in my wedding who doesn't seem to like either of us, and I don't need to listen to this the entire time I am planning, but I know my mom is going to make a big deal out of it.

I laid out a dress code, she seemed fine with it and only asked if she’d bring her girlfriend I said yes, assuming that everyone was on the same page. \n\nWhen they arrive it’s clear that they didn’t follow the dress code. \n\nTo put it mildly, daughter was dressed like the Statue of Liberty if the person who designed her dress had a pair of scissors glued to their hand. It was revealing, short and made with thin fabric. Her girlfriend had on some type of bodysuit with the American flag on it which was also short. \n\nI don’t have a problem with people dressing how they want but they blatantly disregarded my instructions that I laid out for a really specific reason. If it were anywhere else I would not have minded but there were parents there who didn’t want their kids to look at lady liberty’s ass. \n\nI pulled them aside and tried to talk through everything like adults but it turned to a screaming match with them accusing me of policing their bodies. I told them to leave.  \n\nSo now I’m getting crap from friends and relatives telling me I took it too far. But I specifically told them what to expect so AITA? ######","completion":" YTA, but only for throwing a party in the middle of a pandemic ######"}

The grocery store cashier making minimum wage is just trying to do their job and doesn't actually give a shit how every customer is doing that day. It's a formality, and the thing to do is say \"Good, you?\" and move on. Also, she goes into way too much detail about what exactly is bothering her, has started crying at cash registers, to my boyfriend and friends, to anyone really when she is having a bad day or is stressed out, and doesn't see that this makes people uncomfortable who were basically just saying hello and hoping to move on with their day.

That way, no one group is OP or something.\n\nI thought about it, and it made sense to me. I don’t know everyone’s grade exactly, but I did generally know who was doing bad or good, and each group seemed to have a balance, so even if it wasn’t as much of a strict formula as my friend said, the teacher did divide is generally based off how well we did. \n\nWe all were speculating who the D\/F students were, and I said it was probably *insert name of the group member that was black*.

{"prompt":"For context, I’ve been close friends with this person for 7 or 8 years. I’m not going to give his real name for anonymity’s sake, but I’ve been calling him an abbreviated version of his first name, the equivalent of calling someone Mark instead of Marcus or Nate instead of Nathan, for most of our friendship, like many of our other friends including some of his relatives. In the past few months, he’s suddenly started correcting me every time I use the abbreviated form of his name. It’ll go something like this... Me: “Hey Mark, do you want to drive tonight or should I?” Him: “It’s *Marcus* and yeah I’ll drive.” \n\nObviously it’s not a huge deal for me to just call him by his full name, but it’s a hard habit to break and I don’t understand his reasoning. The abbreviated form of his name has no negative connotations as far as I know, and it’s a widely accepted and very normal name. \n\nTo me, calling someone a by an abbreviated name or nickname (unless it’s a derogatory or belittling one) is a sign of familiarity — almost a term of endearment — showing the closeness of a relationship or friendship. So when he asks me to use his full name, it feels needlessly formal, like he’s holding me at arm’s length or trying to craft a more serious persona for himself that must be adhered to by everyone. \n\nI would understand much more if he was making a huge life change, like a trans woman embracing her identity by choosing a more fitting name for herself, but this is nothing like that. \n\nAm I the asshole for being irritated by this? \n\n\nTLDR: My longtime friend suddenly insists that I call him by his full first name instead of a shortened version and I don’t understand why.

I kinda felt bad because it was supposed to be something funny but he was really upset about it. Not only was he upset but when my parents came into the room to check what’s going on he STARTED SWEARING ME IN FRONT OF THEM CALLING ME A BITCH, SLUT, ETC. and I was really hurt by what he said. I understand that he might not have found the joke funny, but that doesn’t mean you have to swear me like that and he did get punished for it. My friends and parents also told me that he overreacted so I stopped feeling bad.\n\nMy brother never apologized to me for calling me these words nor did I apologize to him but we did start acting normally again so it’s not like we are still upset.

{"prompt":"My daughter was in 6th grade a while back and her teacher would grade assignments on expression, grammar and quality. She wrote a poem about Thanksgiving and she got a \"B\" on expression, \"A\" for grammar, and \"A-\" for quality. She was bothered by the \"B\" on expression and I said, \"I think it's because you didn't write you were thankful for family.\" \n\nMy daughter then connected with her former writing teacher and her writing teacher said it was because her rhymes were not very relevant and awkward sounding.

That’s a very narrow minded way of thinking you have. Teachers have students with very diverse family backgrounds, a lot of students don’t have families or have bad ones.

You thinking a teacher will ding someone for not saying something nice about their family just doesn’t make sense. \n\nAlso her teacher told her exactly why she got marks off and you still argued with your daughter based off *your* opinion, which is not at all what her teacher said.

{"prompt":"A while back I had read about an indigenous tribe that never spanked or yelled at their children. They believe that yelling at a child is childish on the part of the adult.

{"prompt":"This is an ongoing point of tension in my household. My sister (20F) has some mental health issues, and a couple months ago after something of a family blowout, she changed her name from Carol (fake name) to Chel (fake fake name), which is a nickname she picked herself while working at a summer camp.\nTo be honest, I (22M) thought she was being a bit dramatic, so I kind of rolled my eyes and ignored her. Looking back on it, I don’t really care and kind of wish I had just gone with the flow. However, whenever I would call her “Carol,” either by accident or on purpose, she would very quickly say “Stop deadnaming me.”\n\nFrankly, I think it’s fine if she wants to be called Chel now, but her using a term designated for transgender people who are being intentionally referred to by their “dead name” as an act of hateful dismissiveness really set me off. I feel that she is using the struggle of a marginalized group that she claims to truly care about to bully everyone into calling her a nickname, which is lame.\n\nSo I dug in my heels, and we’re not speaking right now. I honestly want to have a good relationship, and I’ve decided to call her Chel from now on, but I can’t stop being pissed off that she is equating a white girl changing her name from “Carol” to “Michelle” with a trans person changing their name to reflect their true gender identity.\n\nSo AITA?

Against Lucas objecting, Xavier moved his girlfriend “Hailey” in a few months ago. \n\nNow Lucas and I are Christians and we try to witness to others and be the hands and feet of Jesus. Part of that is not being in situations that are immoral and compromising. We are saving sex for marriage, we don’t drink, and we try to use discernment about entertainment. We are not called to judge others though, and so we mainly focus on ourselves. For context it’s important to note that Hailey belongs to a different religion and is not Christian.\n\nAnyway, Hailey apparently has some underwear and bras that have to be hand washed. She lets them dry on a rack in the living room. My boyfriend has alluded to that fact that seeing them is uncomfortable. He asked me to ask her, woman to woman, to be more discrete.\n\nYesterday I was over, and I nicely asked her while we were doing dishes. I explained the situation thinking she’d be understanding. Nope, she wasn’t. She went off about how Lucas can’t control himself and he shouldn’t be looking at her undies in a sexual way.

I said that she would have been a hell of a lot more stressed if her daughter had been killed because she couldn’t look after her properly.\n\nIt blew up into quite an argument with her defending the mum, saying that the horn would have scared her enough and that it was really unnecessary for me to scream at her like that.\n\nI admit that I was slightly out of control with anger, but considering I very nearly killed a child because of her mother’s negligence and that shouting at her was not only justified because of the situation, but useful to startle her into keeping better hold of her daughter in future.\n\nAITA? ######","completion":" YTA- no one can control children 24\/7 and things like that happen.

I warned them that it might be too scary but they insisted.\n\nThroughout the movie, the boy wasn't too phased, he kept trying to scare his sister and she was terrified and told him to stop.

When they got into their beds and turned the lights off, I waited like 10 minutes for them to get comfortable and I started making clicking sounds. I could see through an opening in the closet that they were shifting around in bed looking directly at the closet. I started doing that croaking sound and from what I saw, it looked like they were frozen in place.\n\nAfter about 5 minutes of doing this, I pushed open the closet door and sprinted full speed to the boy's speed and jumped at the edge of it, they were both screaming their heads off.\n\nI was laughing and told the boy \"see?

After around four months, due to rent increases and since it was just the three of us, we decided to downsize to a two bedroom apartment. Our daughter visited the apartment with us and loved what would be her new room.\n\nShortly before we moved apartments (after signing the lease) our son (17m) had a change of heart about High School and wanted to come home. This was before the Coronavirus, but he'd been abroad for about 3 months and wanted to come home. Since he is the oldest we thought it'd make sense for him to get the second bedroom, and for our daughter to share a room with us again.\n\nWhen this happened our daughter was upset, and requested to sleep in the closet to maintain her own \"room\". So that's where she's been, her mattress was able to be squished in there.\n\nThis somehow came up around a friend of a friend, and she gave me a look and told me that this was unfair and \"severely inappropriate\".

Even my girlfriend has gotten attached to her. So I apologised but said I wanted to keep the dog.

Eventually after two months she allowed me to cut it to shoulder length but because she kept moving her head so much during the process it caused some length differences and I had to cut it all to just below her ear. I thought it looked good and really suited her but my daughter ended up crying over her new haircut. At lunch I made a casual comment about how she's so sensitive she cried over hair but now she's seems upset. Its not exactly my fault that she ended up with a different hair cut. If she just kept her head still it would have turned out normal but I would like a third opinion on this. ######","completion":" YTA YES it is your fault that you cut it that short! There's no way she was moving enough to get to the point that it had to be up to her ears from her middle back.\n\nSide note: long hair doesn't take up nutrients from your body. ?????\n\nPoor kid. Way to set a precedent for her not to trust you with anything in the future based on your obvious insensitivity. Making fun of a crying kid, not to mention casually throwing around insults like \"ugly\" makes me certain that you're just not nice to her in general. Then I'm sure you'll wonder why she doesn't want much to do with you when she grows up and will lay on the guilt trip.\n\nA tale as old as time.\n\nEdit: also, btw, lack of hygiene like this can be a symptom of depression. Have you considered that maybe her lack of hygiene and \"sensitivity\" might be hinting to some mental health issues she's struggling with? Have you tried to talk to her about how she's feeling between hounding her about her looks and criticizing her expression of emotions?Do you even care or are you more worried about her looking \"very ugly\"? ######"}

She gets along with my friends so I knew she'd be able to stay engaged for a while, but she has her own friend groups she normally prefers to hang out with. She was planning to meet some friends at a bar to celebrate her 21st birthday which was a few days before, but I told her I was going to my friend's party no matter what and she said that was fine, but she'd be leaving after an hour\/hour and a half and I said I'd go with her. After a couple of drinks, I started talking to a girl (Ally, 19F) and discovered we were both really serious about our music and had a ton in common otherwise. It was like I'd known her my whole life, but I wouldn't say it was a romantic feeling or anything. \n\nAt one point when Ally got up to go to the bathroom I looked around the room and noticed Erica kind of sitting on the edge of one of the couches, sipping a drink and not really talking to anyone. She signaled for me to come over and when I got there she said \"glad you finally noticed me\" and I asked her what she meant. She showed me the time on her phone and I realized I must have been talking to Ally for at least 2 hours! I told her she could have left if she wanted but she said she was waiting for me because I said I was coming to the bar. I told her I'd rather stay for a while and she said it was fine and left alone for the bar.\n\nThe next day she was pretty mad and said she didn't appreciate being ignored for some random girl and then having me bail on her birthday (it wasn't even her real birthday). I reminded her that she could have interrupted to say it was time to go at any point but she said me and Ally were talking like there was no one else in the room and it was embarrassing for her to feel like a third wheel.

{"prompt":"My very mentally ill brother died recently. He spent his money on properties, all of which he poorly understood what he was buying, and didn't maintain at all. The entire estate essentially breaks even except for one property, which was willed to my daughter. \n\nBasically put, he invested in a luxury hotel chain that was supposed to have a residential portion. He did this in exchange for a unit in the building. He mostly did it to help out his friend, and didn't understand the true value of what he was buying as he thought all cities were \"trash\". The residential portion didn't quite pan out, but he still received ownership of a unit.  \n\nThis unit is essentially a one bedroom apartment, complete with a full kitchen. Due to a combination of zoning, grandfathering, and the deal made, it would only cost her $500 a month to live there, utilities and taxes included, with access to all hotel amenities and services (including daily housekeeping if desired and car service), in a major city. \n\nIt's an amazing deal, would save her so much money, and help her situation, but I don't think she should take it. My brother's ex wife, who like the rest of the family is getting nothing, is disabled, at least partly due to him, and she really needs financial assistance.\n\nRenting this place out for $1400\/month would be an incredibly cheap deal considering location and amenities.

Both still consider ourselves Christians, just a bit lazy with it and maybe somewhat agnostic?

I said, “yeah actually, but he was too afraid to come out because of your homophobia.”\n\nConversation ended, she called Sean and asked him about it. Just like in the sitcoms, it ended up being one of those situations where you expose yourself because you thought the person already knew the secret.

My mom has constantly taken the stance of “my grandkids are the 3 who came from you, your new husbands kids are not automatically going to get the same treatment as my real grandchildren”. \n\nSo for this past Christmas, she dropped off 2 garbage bags full of wrapped presents. My kids got clothes and toys while she got my husbands 2 boys a sweater and a small toy. Before the kids were able to open the presents, I unwrapped all of them to figure out which ones were toys. I than rewrapped the toys and added one of my husbands kids names to it. So this gave the appearance that the toys were for both my kids and my step kids. It wasn’t completely even because of the clothes involved, but I was able to make it that each child had equal ownership of the toys. \n\nI told my mom about how I did this and she was pissed. She told me that I had no right to redistribute the gifts, and that she has money so she will take “HER GRANDKIDS” shopping to buy whatever toys they wanted (which she did, but that’s a whole separate AITA). She argued that my step kids live full time with their mom, and she has seen them only a handful of times. She firmly believes that my stepchildren are not her grandchildren. “I’ve seen the neighbor kids more than I see those two, so why don’t I just buy them a bunch of gifts too?”\n\nMy dad took my moms side and claimed that step relationships outside of the immediate household are optional.

{"prompt":"My wife of eight years and I have a seven year old son together, seven since May. We've had our rough patches, but I can say with certainty we've never had any major disagreements about how to raise our son.\n\nWe were out shopping a few days ago and split up to cover ground more quickly. Once I'd grabbed the things I was supposed to grab, I texted my wife to find out where she was, and she responded she had to use the restroom. So I decided to go wait by the restrooms at the front of the store. In the store in our town, there's 3 bathrooms: a men's, a women's, and a single person unisex bathroom. I didn't see my son waiting outside, so I assumed he was in the men's room. He's always been more than capable of using it by himself before.\n\nSo I was surprised to see them come out of the unisex bathroom together. I asked her if she'd been the one using it and she said she was, so I asked her why she took our son with her. I admit I might've sounded accusatory when doing it. She said she didn't want to leave him alone, I asked her why she didn't have him wait in the men's room or come find me to watch him. She said she didn't think she needed to. Our conversation stopped there.\n\nMy son later sought me out at home to ask me about the 'fight' his mom and me had at the store. I told him we weren't fighting. And I told him that was wrong and he should refuse if there's ever a situation like that again. Well, it turns out he was going between us, because he came back to me later to tell me his my wife said he wasn't in trouble because she said it was okay (I never told my son he was in trouble over it). We haven't discussed the matter, but there's kind of a 'mood' in the house because we realize we're telling our son things behind the other's back.\n\nSurely I'm not the asshole here? At 7 years old, that was very inappropriate, and it's my job to tell my son what is and isn't appropriate. ######","completion":" YTA it is absolutely not inappropriate to bring your child into the bathroom when they're still snatching-sized.\n\nedit: changed appropriate to inappropriate because I apparently don't know how to type. ######"}

It lights up my room (directly across the hallway from her’s) and makes it so I am unable to sleep. For some reason, my parents value her fear of the dark over my health. I never sleep well, and I am often up for hours, recently i have been tying a shirt around my eyes.\n\nI’ve offered her solutions:\nclose the door\n“no, i want the cats to come in”\n\nuse a small nightlight (i even went as far as to make her one out of fused glass and a small bulb)\n“no, i like the big light”\n\nHowever i’ve been really fed up with having a constant headache recently so this morning I snuck into her room and took the lightbulb out of her light and hid it.

{"prompt":"Throwaway to maintain privacy. \n\nSo I got bored during quarantine and decided to try out some weed lube (with THC in it). I told my boyfriend that I had gotten some new lube and asked if we could try it and he agreed. Side note, the pack it comes in does have a cannabis logo but the bottle itself does not. \n\nAnyway, after sex (which included oral) my boyfriend told me he was feeling light headed and I joked about the lube having weed in it. At first he didn’t take me seriously and asked to see the bottle. When he googled it and found out what it was he unnecessarily flipped out. \n\nNow he’s upset. He says I “drugged” him and keeps using the word “drugged” even after I told him that makes me uncomfortable because didn’t slip him anything and he consented to have sex. \n\nI confided in my friend about this and she’s taking his side on this and saying he could sue for that. I don’t believe this and I honestly don’t see how it’s a big deal. It’s like if I ate pot brownies without knowing they had pot in them. I wouldn’t be claiming that I was drugged by whoever made them. \n\nIt wouldn’t have made a difference if he knew and it’s not like he got hurt or I violated him in anyway.

{"prompt":"Son is 14M, cat is 3F. My son’s bedroom is one the third floor of our house, so it’s basically a finished attic. Early in the morning, a thunderstorm rolled in.

He yelled back to me that he was coming, he just needed to grab his cat. Well the cat is not usually great with being carried, but she was extra squirmy because she was freaked out and probably because she could tell my son was scared.

You clearly care about your son, but you should act that way in situations other than emergencies. ######"}
{"prompt":"My girlfriend can definitely be a little too outspoken sometimes and I wish she could tone it down because we're both in college right now and primarily dependent on our parents, so don't bite the hand that feeds you.

She was telling her friend and my girlfriend had to interject about how bad that was and how unprofessional. My mom said she's jealous because she had to pay for her nose job. They then got into a fight about if it is unethical for a doctor to date his patient, but I feel like it doesn't matter because it was plastic surgery, it's not like my mom had cancer and was in some vulnerable state.\n\nMy girlfriend said he should have his license revoked for having sex with a patient and my mom pretty much told her to fuck off. I was annoyed that i had to referee because it's one of those times where she should have just said nothing, and I really didn't want to be roped into a conversation about my mom having sex. I called my girlfriend a puritan and she ended up crying. I kind of feel like an ass because she's always had issues with sexuality but I didn't mean it that deep. I just meant she should stay out of my mom's sex life. ######","completion":" YTA I don’t really get the Puritan reference? Do you think you gf is being a prude?

{"prompt":"Okay so this title  makes it sound really bad but it’s not as cut and dry as it seems. \n\nI’m (21m) a senior in college but am doing a five year program. I have two roommates in an off-campus apartment, two dudes that I’ve been friends with for years.  They’re both graduating in May, only staying for four years. People start looking at off-campus housing at my school for next year in September or October of the current year (insane, I know), so I have to start looking now if I’m going to find something live-able\/not super expensive. I’m open to living on my own, but would prefer not to. \n\nDon’t know where else to put this in the story, but I’m gay and have openly been for two years. \n\nSo one of my roommates “John” told me that he has a friend of a friend looking for housing next year that I should talk to about living with. He says he’s met the guy a few times and he seems normal. I ask him what he knows, and John brings up that he’s gay. That’s when I said no, I’m not interested. \n\nI have no interest in living with another gay guy. I just don’t want to live with someone that there is ever any shot of anything sexual happening with, which is why I’ve only lived with straight men. Before I get shit on for this, how many women only have woman roommates and how many men only have male roommates?  Plus in sophomore year I lived in the dorms with another gay guy, we hooked up while living together, and it was a whole thing. \n\nWell, it turns out John already mentioned me to the guy before having this conversation, and now he had to tell him I wasn’t into it. He also apparently had to tell him why for whatever reason. Apparently the guy now thinks I’m a “self-hating gay,” which I find offensive and ridiculous. I admit that I don’t have a lot of gay people in my platonic circle, but I do date pretty often. \n\nSo AITA? ######","completion":" YTA I don't understand where you're coming from.

He said that we’d have to pay them $10 to get a new book (details that the librarian and I had worked out) and told my daughter that “ten dollars was not a small sum of money.” \n\nMy daughter was like, “I’m sorry, Dad,” and handed over a 20 dollar bill that my sister had given her for Christmas.

We’re not in the apartment at the same time very often, so I wouldn’t say we’re friends, but we don’t dislike each other. \n\nAt the beginning of last week, my roommate told me she was going to go back to her hometown (about 2 hours away) because her dad was sick and she wanted to be with her family. I said okay, see you when you’re back, the usual. That night, I invited my boyfriend over and we ended up getting a bit drunk, which resulted in him puking red wine all over my bed. It was like 3am at this point, and I was tipsy, so I dragged him over to my roommates bed and we both fell asleep. \n\nThe next morning my boyfriend went home, but I was hungover and didn’t want to wash my sheets yet, so I just stayed in my roommates bed. I ended up sleeping and staying in my roommates bed for the rest of the week. \n\nShe came back to the apartment on Monday whilst I was out shopping, and I came back to her questioning as to why there was a phone charger on her bed. I told her that I’d been sleeping in her bed because of the red wine puke, expecting her to just find it amusing, but she was absolutely disgusted and called me a slob because I didn’t wash my sheets. She then demanded I change her sheets because my boyfriend and I had both slept in them and I refused saying they were hers so she should clean them.

{"prompt":" I (33M) have been married to my wife (32F) for the past 5 years. 6 months ago my wife decided to undergo rhinoplasty (nose job) surgery due to not liking the shape of her nose for several years and also to repair a deviated septum (although the primary reason was cosmetic). I personally didn’t think she needed the surgery and the money could have been better spent, but agreed it was her choice to make. \n\nHere’s where my wife thinks I was the asshole: I was driving her to the surgery and she was getting very nervous thinking about how it could all go wrong. Meanwhile, I was dead tired and it was early in the morning. She caught on that I wasn’t in the best mood and asked how I felt about driving her to the surgery. I responded “To be honest, I’m not looking forward to taking care of you after the surgery”. \n\nShe started melting down, telling me I should have told her earlier if I wasn’t willing to support her recovery. I clarified that I loved her and would take care of her, but I just wasn’t looking forward to it since the surgery was elective and avoidable. This did not placate her and she only got more angry\/sad. I apologized profusely after realizing how upset she was, but it was kind of half-hearted because I still thought I was right. \n\nFast forward to the present: the surgery went well, I supported my wife as she was recovering, and life is back to normal. However, my wife still thinks I was the asshole for not being more emotionally supportive of her on surgery day. I think I’m probably the asshole but wanted to post to be sure.

{"prompt":"A few months ago, my 24 year old daughter was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. She has been taking prednisone to help with the inflammation so that she can keep foods down. Prednisone is not to be taken long-term, so her doctor wants her to start on a biologic drug called Humira. I am very much against this, because these drugs are strong immune system suppressants that also have the potential to cause cancer... Nasty stuff.\n\nFor years and years I've done research on natural remedies and supplements that are good for the body.. I raised my kids on them and I believe that with a strict diet and consistently taking dietary supplements, my daughter's inflammation will go down and she wont NEED to take the crappy medicine her doctor recommends. But my daughter wants to take the biologic medicine.. instead of putting in the hard work to achieve a healthy anti-inflammatory diet. She won't listen to me no matter what I tell her about the medicine and what these supplements will do for her..\n\nInitially I said that I would not help pay for this medicine (it's expensive). She said that she would \"find a way\" to afford it herself.. She works part-time at Target. She still planned on getting the medicine so I told her that if she decided to go the biologic route, her stepfather will be taking her off of our insurance. I told her this out of desperation, because I really do not want her on this stuff. She started crying over the phone, which wasn't what I intended.

Kinda weird.\n\n>Then quarantine happened and that time apart made me realize that I wanted to spend my life with her. So I proposed in May and she’s moved in.\n\nSo proposed after 5 months of dating, much of which you've been \"apart\" and moved her into your home with your daughter? Has your daughter met this person? I take it she didn't have a say in her moving in?\n\n>Since then, my daughter has been a nightmare. She and my youngest sister, 25, keep calling my fiancée “ the kid.”\n\nUnderstandable that your daughter has considerable resentment about this situation. I'd probably refer to her as \"the kid\" too.\n\n>So yesterday day when my daughter once again said she was going to practice her serve, I decided to follow her car. She ended up pulling up to a diner and I realized she was grabbing lunch with my youngest sister.\n\nSo seems like your daughter has no interest in bonding with your fiancée but doesn't want to create drama so she blew her off? Have you never used a white lie to avoid having to spend time with someone? Would you have preferred that she was honest and told your fiancée that she wasn't interested in spending time with her? Would that have been better? You followed her car, wtf?\n\n>I am furious....my daughter for lying to her stepmom.\n\nShe's not her \"stepmom.\" First, she's not your wife, she's your fiancée. Second, \"stepmom\" assumes that your fiancée is some type of parental figure to your daughter, which with only a 5 year age gap is NEVER going to be the case.\n\n>I explained that she would not be getting her car back until she makes an attempt to bond with her stepmom. AITA for not condoning lying? I just want my fiancée to be accepted into the family.\n\nThis isn't about \"condoning lying.\" If it was, then an apology for lying and her being honest about not wanting to bond with your fiancée friend would be sufficient. This is about you wanting to force your daughter to accept your fiancée, and punishing her if she doesn't. You can't force that and your approach isn't helping. \n\nYou forced this whole weird situation on your daughter and it's not going how you hoped. Talk to your daughter about her concerns. You probably need to take a step back with your fiancée. ######"}

I tried to place a small kiss on her lips, but she dodged my kiss, which I found very rude and odd. Her daughter was very hyper, and quite sweet. She would enthusiastically wave and say hi to most people, including me. I offered to help her load her groceries in her car, but she politely declined. When she was instructing her daughter to say a proper goodbye, my girlfriend referred to me as her \"friend\" rather than her \"boyfriend\" which I thought was rather insulting.   \n\n\nWhen we were on a call, I asked her why she didn't introduce me formally to her daughter, didn't allow me to help her and why she dodged my kiss.

I had no expectations from it and no intentions of really meeting someone. I matched with a couple of girls and started texting with some of them, but it was usually just a small talk and it never became anything serious. \n\nAbout two weeks ago this girl texted me on Tinder. She looked a bit chubby and I don’t know why I swiped right, because that’s not really my type. Nevertheless I texted her back (probably because I was bored) and we started chatting.

She was a bit shy and hesitant, but in the end we agreed to go on a dinner together. \n\nI made a reservation in a nice Italian restaurant in the city centre and we were supposed to meet there. I came about 5 minutes earlier and she came right on time. When I saw her I was a bit shocked, because she looked a lot different in reality. In her pictures she was a bit chubby but in reality she was straight up fat (I don’t know if she used old pictures, or photoshopped her body or if she just took the pictures in in right angles). She looked exited and started a conversation, but I just couldn’t. I told her that I expected something else, apologized, paid for my drink and left. \n\nWhen I came home my roommates asked how my date was and I told them.

{"prompt":"I (29M) am engaged with my fiance (26F). My coworker (30F) and I are also decently close, as in we're somewhat friends (more than coworkers, less than friends). We were talking about my engagement and I told her about the ring I bought. It is a \"cheap\" ring with a zirkonia stone. It cost me around €220, which I still thought was relatively expensive. To me spending half your monthly salary on a ring is just a waste of money. Luckily my fiance always agreed with me so we never had any issues about that. My coworker mentioned how she expected a ring of at least a €1000 and if her boyfriend does not proposes with a ring like that she is going to say no. So I asked her, that if she was together with someone she really loved, and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him and he asked her to marry her with a cheaper ring, if she seriously would say no. She laughed and said of course. That is when I said that to me she would be unmarriageable because if you care more about the ring than about the person you are going to marry, that would be a hard pass for me. She made a face and called me an asshole and that it was just her opinion. Maybe I was a bit biased because to me the whole concept of asking someone to marry you with an expensive ring and expecting only the man to make \"a grand gesture\" is super sexist and outdated. So I felt a bit strongly about this subject. \n\nDisclaimer: My girlfriend got me something similarly priced for our engagement because of how I feel about this. \n\nSo, AITA? ######","completion":" YTA because you jumped to \"no one would ever marry you\" instead of conceding different people value different things. to some people, the ring is a promise that's meant to be a grand gesture to prove the lengths and effort someone is willing to go for for their partner. sure, not everyone values that- even i don't, for the record- but it's got different significance and opinions, just like anything else. the only thing that matters is you and your partner and her and her partner agree on the value of what that object should be; no need for dramatic insult. ######"}

Before this I never cared or had any problems about how she dressed but ever since we got back again she's been dressing in a very \"lewd\" manner.

{"prompt":"I (29M) and my gf (30F) moved in due to the pandemic. As a result of Covid, we have inevitably had to start working from home. We both work pretty difficult (sujectively) jobs that require a pretty significant amount of our time during the week + weekend. I would however say that my work is significantly more flexible in terms of when I work, I can work any time of day 24 hours a day. I just try my best to manage my time and squeeze in 40-50 hours a week. This is not to say that I take it easy, rather my job is very mentally draining and I cant focus on it for more than a few hours at a time without feeling exhausted. Her work however is more rigid in its hours and is a pretty constant 8-6 (think calls and meetings) with \"breaks\". \n\nIssue: The challenge has been that Covid has really ramped up her quantity of work. By her own admission, this has been one of the toughest years (I dont doubt) -- therefore she has to sometimes work 60+ hours a week. We have mostly managed by me taking greater responsibilities around the house and to cook and clean--all of which I have absolutely no problem in and generally enjoy. However, the months on end of doing this have started to ware away at my enthusiam. Ultimately, the other day, after doing the majority of house duties for the day, the straw that broke the camels back was her working past midnight noting that she started work at 7:30\/8 am. Its important to state that I have nothing against workaholics but rather, is it fair for me to be annoyed and frustrated. Following this, we got into a fight about the division of work around the house and \"fairness\". I'm not suggesting that all housework should be 50\/50, it shoud be allocated more to the \"free\" person but considering we both have full-time jobs, I don't know how I can possibly sustain this without feeling like a placemat. \n\nHelp me reddit, AITA for requesting that whatever she do, she should finish work by 10:30 pm and help me more around the house. ######","completion":" YTA because of how little empathy you seem to have for her and how selfish you’re being.\n\nYou’re acting like she’s deliberating working more, when she’s clearly stated to you that work has gotten very demanding for her.

{"prompt":"The tile sounds bad, but let me offer some backstory. Me and my girlfriend of 3 years broke up right before the pandemic started and recently got back together over the summer. I am attending a University in the city and I needed to get an apartment for my research opportunities. All of the dorms in the area are closed or vacating rooms due to classes online and in effort for my girlfriend to get away from her small town and overbearing parents, she asked if she could stay with me. This was fine because I had money to completely cover the lease and I was aware of how her parents treated her and her need to get away. Upon coming to the apartment, weeks have gone by and we argue very frequently and at times it becomes a toxic environment. She is the type to storm off and leave while disappearing for hours when she is mad, often going to friends houses or taking a drive. She wants me to drive her back to her home state so she can live here with her car and I made it very clear that I was against this. HERE is the issue, because of the current pandemic and how absent minded she gets when she is upset, with a car I know she will be around a lot of people I dont know, going to certain event, ect. I AM NOT comfortable with this considering that I value my well being and have been taking steps to ensure our safety.

{"prompt":" My cousin \\[18F\\] finished high school some time ago and made a post on Facebook that she now decided to give her books for free and if we need the books to contact her. Luckily, I was one of the first to see the post and immediately messaged her because I need the books for this year and next and they are ridiculously expensive ($50-60 per book).\n\nSo we talked and stuff and in the end we established that she’s going to give me most of the books. I was happy and all until she told me that I will have to pay for transportation. Here is where I lost it because transporting books from her country to mine is expensive and I in no way am going to pay that much money. I might as well just buy the books myself instead of getting the second hand books. \n\nWe had a huge argument which ended up with her blocking me which made me even more pissed and I commented on the fb post that in reality she isn’t giving the stuff for free (so that the others won’t waste time like I did).

{"prompt":"Yesterday it was my daughter's 15th birthday and I took her out shopping. I asked her what she wanted to get as a gift and she mentioned she would like to get some piercings. \n\nMy daughter for the past year has wanted to get several piercings but I thought she was too young. When she asked me for her birthday I told her we will go to the piercing parlour and check with the pierced on whether she was now old enough.\n\nI texted my husband that I was taking our daughter to get pierced and he just replied with a surprised face emoji. We then went off to the piercing shop. \n\nWhen we got to the piercing shop we asked a lot of questions and they told us they can do up to 4 piercings in one session. My daughter decided she wanted to do 4 as she was waiting so long and decided she would get 2 in her lower lip, nose and belly. \n\nWhen we got home my daughter was very excited to show her father her new piercings. He kind of freaked and told her she has ruined her face and will no longer be able to get a job. I told him why he was so upset given he knew our daughter had wanted piercings and he just replied that he thought she was just going to get ear piercings. He now keeps going on about how our daughter is not going to get into a good college now and how I have ruined her future. AITA here? ######","completion":" YTA and the piercer you went to was irresponsible for agreeing to give *four* piercings to a minor who has never had a single piercing before. Especially a piercing that requires more stringent care like a navel piercing.\n\nWhatever people in the comments might tell you, yes people still have hang ups around facial piercings in 2020, and yes they may impact on your daughter’s ability to find work. I doubt she’ll find herself unemployable, but it only takes running into one stuck-up boomer recruiter to get turned down for a job you were otherwise qualified for.\n\nI don’t think that’s necessarily a reason not to get piercings, but your daughter is 15 and cannot make informed choices regarding her future professional life because she simply doesn’t have the lived experience yet. Most piercing shops in my area won’t do any piercings besides basic lobe piercings on anyone under 18.\n\nI’ve had a ton of piercings in my time and know they’re a pain to care for when they’re healing, and can take a long time to stop feeling tender. Caring for four piercings at once sounds like a pain in the ass. The best you can do now is help make sure your daughter is looking after them properly and make sure she doesn’t rush the process. No changing the jewellery until your piercer says it’s okay to do so (even if, again, I’m loath to trust the judgement of any piercer who would perform four piercings on a minor in a single session). ######"}

She even asks me questions from time to time such as “do I even look different than I did when I weighed more?”  And I tell her yes, I think you look different and you look more attractive this way. I told her that she looks more attractive than before she lost the weight (from 150 to 140 lbs). I said this with the goal being positive feedback and to encourage her healthier decisions now that she’s at a lower weight.\n\n     However, her friends and sister all told me that I was a dick for telling her this.

She asked if she “looked different”, a proper response from you would help her feel validated in her >progress<. It would make her feel like her work is paying off and would make her feel good about herself if you had said something like “yeah you can totally tell” etc. When you said “you look more attractive this way than the other way” that’s a backhanded compliment.

{"prompt":"My fiancée and I are getting married in October and I couldn’t be more excited. Currently she’s unemployed because her job permanently shut down due to the lockdown so the income comes from me and her unemployment. I make good money so I don’t care if she gets another job, I can support us.\n\nMoney is a little tight lately because we very suddenly had to buy a new car. We haven’t really spent any personal money, only money on groceries and necessities. \n\nLast night my fiancée came into our bathroom while I was shaving and looked a little nervous. She asked if she could buy a $350 wedding dress that she’s been looking at for months. I kind of looked at her and asked where the $350 would come from. She said we had a lot of money in our savings we hadn’t touched, and it would barely make a dent in our savings. I thought about it for a second and told her if she gets to splurge $350 on a dress I get to spend $350 on whatever I want. \n\nShe said she didn’t think it was a splurge, it was for our wedding and I could buy what I wanted but i could tell I had hurt her feelings.

We haven’t talked since. I don’t feel like I’m being unreasonable but AITA? ######","completion":" YTA 100% man. Come on now.\nNot for the reason you might think either.\n\nA wedding dress being $350 is actually cheap, yes you can find cheaper ones out there but those are almost always lower quality and not a good idea, this is a once in a lifetime thing (hopefully) and you’re paying to insure there aren’t wardrobe malfunctions, last minute issues, the scene in the moment. Idk how far out your wedding is but when you start really getting down to planning I hope you help her and see that weddings are hard and expensive and challenging. Please don’t make her do all the work and then complain about how much everything costs later.\n\nBut anyways that’s not even the reason YTA. YTA because it sounds like you don’t even know what you want to spend $350 on, you just said “if you get to spend it so do I” which firstly is simply a WTF thing to say. Like honestly I clicked on this and was like is he buying a tux for the wedding?\n\nSecondly why would you start this post with explaining that money is right and then throw in for random that she want a $350 dress so now you’re going to buy ‘whatever I want’ in exchange. So $350 is too much but $700 isn’t? And if you really don’t know what you want and simply want to spend the same as her then you’ll be eager and looking for things to buy and blow through it all the more easily.\n\nThirdly the biggest reason YTA: she said she had been looking at this dress for months. She obviously looked around, probably saw prices, saw quality, saw herself on her wedding day when you look at her and tell her she’s beautiful. And then you put that image and dream again nothing. You told her she can only spend the money on her dream dress if you go to spend it on whatever you want. You put her feelings down in that moment, you told her months of yearning for that dress was the same as whatever random thing you’ll find to blow money on and her effort to make your wedding day TOGETHER weren’t worth it in your mind.\n\nHonestly it’s petty. If you actually had something in particular you wanted you could have brought that up separately and had that moment been about her. You could have asked if she loved the dress, maybe something to complement her style and saying you couldn’t wait to see her in it. Honestly girls can really get their hopes up for stuff like this and a little bit of support from you in this moment very well could have made planning the entire wedding easier. Having that moment be about her and what she wanted wouldn’t have been hard for you. Waiting even ten minutes and then asking as a separate mater if you could also use your savings to do X, Y, or Z would have been fine. But making her desire a ‘if you get this then I get that’ things is an asshole move.\n\n\nIt stakes you against her. Any relationship, especially that of marriage, should be you and that person against others. Never you against her. I forgot where that quote is from but seriously take that to heart. Actions that make the two of you look like enemies aren’t one you ever want to make and once you two start seeing each other as adversaries instead of partners your marriage is over, maybe before it gets the chance to start. You don’t have to give in to everything she wants ever (though happy wife makes a happy life) but not making it a fight between the two of you would be best for the future. ######"}

{"prompt":"A few months ago our son (15) came to me and the wife and asked if he could save up for a new console. He has an Xbox One S so we assumed (probably our fault a bit here) that he wanted the next gen Xbox Series X. He was doing well in school and we were pleased he was showing the initiative to earn something for himself instead of just asking us to buy it for him so we said go for it. \n\nYesterday he said he’d saved up £400 but most of it was cash, so could he give me that money and I buy it for him with my card. Turns out he wants a PS4, which goes for about £250-£350 depending on the model. Now, I wasn’t keen on this as he already has a comparable console from this generation, and the new generation of consoles is imminent. I asked him why he wanted to get a PS4 and he said it was to take advantage of the our new TV which was 4K. \n\nNow, if he’d said version exclusives, or of his friends had PlayStations so he could play online, I might have relented. I told him no, wait for the ps5 or new Xbox, but it just wasn’t a good use of money to spend the best part of the cost of a next gen console on something that would very quickly become obsolete. I even said I’d cover the difference, but he has his heart set on being able to play games in 4K. Mind you, these are games he already has on Xbox so he’d have to pay for them again. \n\nMy wife agrees with our son, but she also doesn’t really get the differences between consoles ( last year she bought him a PS4 controller bc it was cheaper than an Xbox one and she assumed it would work). She thinks it’s his money he worked and saved for, so he should be able to buy what he wants.

For this reason, while he isn't a \"celebrity\" per say, he is well-known enough by those particularly online that he attracts a lot of attention when we go out. A lot of people will shout stuff at him or come over and ask for photos. Sometimes it's fine, but I've noticed one one person comes over, it attracts people to follow suit.  It depends where we are, but our wedding will be somewhere I expect this to happen a lot (based in NYC). \n\nWe don't have a huge budget for our wedding, so the reception will be held at a popular NYC venue, but we can't afford to have it exclusively. The venue still means enough to me that I'm okay with other strangers being in the bar. I know this might be strange to some of you, especially Americans as I've been told, but I'm originally from a European country where non-exclusive wedding venues are common if you don't want to spend a ton of money, and my fiancé is happy with this as well. \n\nOur wedding isn't small enough for me to justify it as being too intimate to invite my friend's partner, however I really don't want him to take the attention away from our wedding by simply being there. My friend is really upset with me and is now paranoid I don't like her partner, which isn't true, he's genuinely really gracious and everyone in our friendship group has always liked him.

{"prompt":"I have 2 sons, R and K. R is 14 and K is 10. My kids are very different. R is very intelligent and has always excelled in school without giving any effort at all. He was always quite independent, and I never had to involve myself with his school, so I didn't. K, on the other hand, was never very good at school or at focusing, and his grades were never above a B. \n\nMy wife and I both work full time, and we were very nervous that K would not perform well in online school. I had the idea to have R tutor him, seeing as he was always good at math. which is K's worst subject.\n\nR was not happy about giving up 2-3 hours a day to tutor K, but I told him that he needs to help his brother. And it worked super well! Within 3 days, K's practice scores went from 45% to 89%, but R was very frustrated because he had to \"Teach things I never learned\". He was talking about        training his number sense, and he complained that numbers \"always came easily to him\" and that he couldn't teach it. I told him that he was being arrogant, and that there was no need to flaunt his intelligence. I got kind of carried away and yelled at him that he doesn't deserve his success because his smarts are due only to his good genetics, not through hard work. He asked me what more he could do, saying that his grades were all 100 or more. I called him a liar. And he became extremely upset and locked himself in his room. \n\nToday, R came downstairs as me and my wife were talking about K's suddenly better test scores. R commented, saying \"He's got the right idea, setting the bar low\". I asked him what he meant, and he said \"He meets the bare minimum of expectations, and he gets praise like he cured polio.

I am angry but say nothing even though I want to remind her she’s not the woman I married. \n\nSince then, she only speaks to our daughter, who is also upset.  \n\nAITA? For the past year, she’s done nothing that would indicate she’d ever want to dress up again. ######","completion":" YTA - you gave away her Louboutins?!??? Those shoes were probably sentimental to her and they weren’t yours to give away. Your cousin also sounds like an AH. Who asks someone for designer shoes and then turns around and sells them? You owe your wife some new shoes, mister! ######"}
{"prompt":"Throwaway because my roommate uses Reddit. Anyway, this past weekend I moved with my gf into a new apartment with a friend of mine. I've moved a few times over the past couple years and I hate it every time. Now that I'm doing a little better in life I decided to hire movers to avoid some of the hassle of the larger items. My gf and I moved all of our smaller stuff (books, clothes, linens, etc.) over the course of the past couple weeks but I needed help moving all of our larger stuff so I hired some movers.\n\nWe picked up our moving truck and met the movers at our old apt. That's kind of where I ran into the predicament. We hired two movers and when they showed up, one was a female. I normally would be totally fine with this but I had already moved all of the smaller stuff to the new place and was mostly looking for help moving the big stuff like our couch, dressers, bed, etc. \n\nI felt like I needed to spot her going up and down the stairs with the heavy stuff and it kind of negated the main reason I hired movers: saving time and worry. She didn't end up dropping anything in the end but it took some of my attention away from moving other stuff on what was a very hectic day moving two different apartments into one. I paid the two movers the same amount ($150 for 3 hours of work) and then this is where I got into an issue with my gf. I paid the male mover a $30 tip and the female mover a $20 tip. \n\nMy gf was pretty irate but I felt it was justified since I had to spend extra time worrying about the mover dropping anything during the move. She says I should have still paid them the same.\n\nSo I turn it over to you guys, AITA? ######","completion":" YTA - You FELT like you had to spot her - you should have stepped back and given her a chance to prove to you your sexist thoughts were wrong.\n\nYou CHOSE to step in b\/c you FELT whatever it was you felt - you should have tipped the same.  The dude benefitted from your stepping in - did he not???  YES - YES HE DID.\n\nSo it was 100% sexisit b\/c it was based on gender & your own interpretation of abilities. ######"}
{"prompt":"I'll just try to keep this short. I have these two friends and they are a couple. They're literally obsessed with each other and spend every waking hour together. The problem is in the fact that they look very similar to each other — creepily similar. Essentially, if you saw them out on the street, you'd assume they were twins. Most of the people at our school actually thought the same thing for a while.\n\nWe hang out together often and they've recently picked up this weird habit of always wearing matching outfits when we're out. There would be nothing wrong with that if, as I mentioned before, they didn't look almost completely identical. They're very \"open\" about their relationship in public and always kiss, hug each other, etc.\n\nYou can probably tell that they get some weird looks from nosy people out on the street who probably assume they're siblings. They whisper, take pictures, laugh, etc. This makes me kind of embarrassed to be out with them because, y'know, it's an embarrassing situation to be put in, so I told them that if they really want for us to hang out in public they should just stop making it easier for people to think that something weird is going on. \n\nThey told me I was being an asshole and that this showed that I don't really care about them and care more about some \"random strangers\" taking pictures.

I tried to place a small kiss on her lips, but she dodged my kiss, which I found very rude and odd. Her daughter was very hyper, and quite sweet. She would enthusiastically wave and say hi to most people, including me. I offered to help her load her groceries in her car, but she politely declined. When she was instructing her daughter to say a proper goodbye, my girlfriend referred to me as her \"friend\" rather than her \"boyfriend\" which I thought was rather insulting.   \n\n\nWhen we were on a call, I asked her why she didn't introduce me formally to her daughter, didn't allow me to help her and why she dodged my kiss.

But then COVID hit, and she wasn’t able to make an appointment to go in.\nNow, I have a friend who does hair, and while I admittedly hadn’t thought about doing my hair this color until my little sister kept mentioning it, I also wanted to be brave like my little sister always had been, and I asked my friend to do my hair.\nMy little sister is livid. She can’t believe I would ‘steal’ her idea, and she said she was sorry I never had the confidence to do stuff like this, but I could have at least gone for a darker shade of purple. She did say all of this very calmly, but she felt the need to remind me that she was constantly compared to me growing up, and her personal style was developed to help at least make the ‘disappointment’ intentional, and while it may be silly that she is so upset, as the ‘favored’ older sister, I wouldn’t understand.\nMy mom says she’s just overreacting and being childish, but I’m starting to think my mom ‘always being on my side’ has added to my little sisters frustration.\nTLDR: Little sister feels like I’m trying to creep in on her style, when she’s always been the ‘alternative’ one, and I’ve always been the more mainstream one. ######","completion":" YTA - you admittedly took your sisters idea and even go as far to note that you hadn't even thought about doing anything at all until she said it.

{"prompt":" \n\nSo I have a habit of calling out to people on bike\/walking paths \"passing left\" and\/or \"plingeling\" (the sound of a bike bell) when coming up from behind before passing whilst exercising, running or biking. This can be used together with a real bike bell but I've found that calling out is more noticeable. Here I have to admit that I when passing people that wear headphones and that take up the majority of the path without moving, since they don't hear me, can get an extra call just when passing just to scare them and make them aware that they need to share the path. I know this is somewhat of a bitch move but I'm just so fed up with people taking up unnecessary space just because they're selfish or inconsiderate.\n\nThis time I was moving up on a teenager from behind getting ready to pass him. He was biking in the middle of the bike lane, leaving precious little space on either side. I was going for a left side pass since we have right hand traffic here. He was wearing headphones and not holding on to the handlebars of his bike. I called out. No response. So when passing, quite close due to the space issue, I called out again and spooked him.

{"prompt":"So in our drama class, we decided to host a play. The play goes around the central theme of twins being mistaken for each other and deciding on taking advantage of that. The entire play is based on the fact that the twins are identical. \n\nWe decided on doing this play because my best friend has an identical twin, and they both are in drama.  However, we still had to hold an audition for fairness and for the other roles, and I was the casting director. \n\nMy best friend (lets call her twin 1) auditioned for the role of twin 1 and got it, but when it came to the role of twin 2, another girl came to audition. It was her and twin 1's twin, and I decided to give the role to the twin for obvious reasons (it is necessary for the twins to be identical).\n\nNon-twin filed a complaint to the school and the drama council that I was racist (my friend was white and so was her twin, while non-twin was black) and I had to explain that while she did a great job, but to be in the play you have to look similar to the twin and be fitted to the character. She said that I was racist and that her skin color should not limit her roles. \n\nAnyway, I was cut off from my drama club, and I am shunned by my entire school. There are people who don't think I am racist, but they are too afraid to say so.

She told me she doesn’t smoke, but that she used to and still glass blows for a living. She said that since the pandemic she’s lost her studio space and is just selling her remaining pieces online, shipping them out herself. She begged me not to tell the landlord, and I told her to get them all out and stop bringing them in the apartment because the rules were clearly in all of our leases, and she’s no exception. \n\nShe said that if she did that, she couldn’t pay the rent and had nowhere else to ship them from. I however did give her a warning and an ultimatum. She refused, so I told the landlord. \n\nThe landlord told her to get rid of them or face eviction. Now she’s being evicted because she isn’t able to pay the rent anymore. \n\nI’m feeling a bit guilty because I did tell the landlord, but ultimately it was her decision to bring illegal items in the apartment and she’s no exception to the rule. ######","completion":" YTA - That sounds like an illegal eviction if she wasn't smoking.

Nobody understands him at restaurants, and what should be a quick two minute chat turns into a 30 minute drawn out conversation where the other person is clearly uncomfortable because they can’t understand him. \n\nSo I’ve been continuing to speak on his behalf to make things easier for everyone, even though that goes against his wishes and it’s obvious he’s angry with me. He said he needs to practice speaking, but isn’t that what his therapy is for?

This includes snippets of videos, naked pictures, and close up pictures of his regions. When these videos come up on my feed, I admittedly watch them. I’ve never masturbated to them. I just find them interesting. I usually will stop, watch the snippet, and then keep scrolling like normal. I hadn’t thought much of it but when my boyfriend found out that I looked at them at all he freaked out. I didn’t think it was that big of a deal. It’s just kind of part of following his brother on twitter. But, I told him I would unfollow him if it would make him more comfortable. But, he seems more upset on principle than anything.

{"prompt":"As basic as possible, nearly 3 years ago my daughter asked if I could help her with the deposit for the house she wanted to buy with her husband. It was expensive so I vocalized that I could only help if it were going to be a loan she'd have to pay back.

That was that.\n\nMy son graduated from university last year and has been working ever since but recently he's been offered a higher position in another city. Coincidentally I actually own a house there (it was my best friend's old house which he gave to me) which I used to rent out but it's been gathering cobwebs since February. I told him about the problems with it and said he could have it though if he wanted and he took it. When I told my daughter about it she was unhappy and compared it to her wanting my help those years ago and I said no yet I'm giving my son the house cost free. The house was never bought by me though and was given (rather tossed) besides it being half way across the country. If my daughter got a job there, I would've also offered her the house free of charge.

{"prompt":"So I have been with my fiancé for over 3 years. We have been engaged for one of those years. Our wedding is set for September 6th. My fiancé has been growing a beard ever since like March or so. I haven’t thought anything of it since I’ve seen him with a beard plenty of times before. I’d say since I’ve known him it’s been about 50\/50 between him clean shaven and him having a beard. I jokingly brought up his beard and our wedding the other day. I said “you ready to have a clean face for our wedding?” He looked at me and was silent for a few seconds. He finally said “Um I was going to leave my beard for the wedding” I gave him a pretty gross look and said “no you are not. That is not acceptable. I will not have that.” He got mad that I was telling him what to do and said that I can’t tell him what to do with his grooming preferences. I said that I have the right to since it is my wedding and I am marrying him. \n\nWe kept going back and forth about it until I said that I would cancel our wedding if he doesn’t shave. He didn’t budge. He ended up getting really mad by that comment and left shortly after. He’s barely texted me since that happened. I’ve told my friends and family about the situation and part of them agree with me while some say that I had no right to tell him to do that and that I was being a jerk for doing so. Just to clarify, I don’t hate his beard, it’s fine. I think at times that it can’t be attractive. I just don’t really like the idea of him not being clean shaven on our wedding day.

He feels like I’m being an asshole but I don’t see how she can wear that ring and not care that people are struggling and her grandkids are struggling. ######","completion":" YTA - From a struggling pandemic person here myself: \n\nFirst, it's not like either one of them bragged about the cost of the ring, you found this out through another person! \n\nSecond, it is not your place to decide what they spend their money on. Whether they be well-off from hard work, or even family money... their purchases are their own business and how they choose to spend that wealth should not be dictated by you or anyone else.\n\nThird, to not congratulate someone on a POSITIVE life changing event in the midst of what is probably the worst year we all have had in quite sometime... just downright rude. Maybe this is the reason you get the feeling the mother doesn't like you? ######"}

{"prompt":"So I have two teen daughters, 17 and 15, and they kind of hate me. I'm doing my best and the youngest one has been in therapy for her anger, but they are constantly criticizing me. The oldest one is constantly yelling at me for embarrassing her, which I've really tried to scale down. I used to do it semi on purpose, but apparently I'm the only one in the house with a sense of humor so I've attempted to stop. The youngest one is getting very into politics and social justice and will not stop bringing things up when I ask her to. She ends up in clashes with her father and it's to the point where she must be doing it intentionally because she knows how he is going to react.\n\nWell I had two friends over the other day for a birthday and we were drinking. My kids don't like when i have fun, though I'm not an alcoholic, alcohol has never been a problem and really I don't know why it bothers them so much. We were out by the pool acting stupid, probably embarrassing the hell out of my kids, but it's a big house and there were plenty of rooms to go into. I fell on the pavement when i was fooling around with my friend and got a cut and when they left I was whining and wanting my husband to fix it (I was drunk, i don't even know what that means) but the 17 year old just started screaming at me about how ridiculous and immature it is, and the younger one said I need less bitchy friends. I refuse to apologize for one day to myself but now my husband is pissed at the girls and my house is once again a war zone.

{"prompt":"For context, I’ve been close friends with this person for 7 or 8 years. I’m not going to give his real name for anonymity’s sake, but I’ve been calling him an abbreviated version of his first name, the equivalent of calling someone Mark instead of Marcus or Nate instead of Nathan, for most of our friendship, like many of our other friends including some of his relatives. In the past few months, he’s suddenly started correcting me every time I use the abbreviated form of his name. It’ll go something like this... Me: “Hey Mark, do you want to drive tonight or should I?” Him: “It’s *Marcus* and yeah I’ll drive.” \n\nObviously it’s not a huge deal for me to just call him by his full name, but it’s a hard habit to break and I don’t understand his reasoning. The abbreviated form of his name has no negative connotations as far as I know, and it’s a widely accepted and very normal name. \n\nTo me, calling someone a by an abbreviated name or nickname (unless it’s a derogatory or belittling one) is a sign of familiarity — almost a term of endearment — showing the closeness of a relationship or friendship. So when he asks me to use his full name, it feels needlessly formal, like he’s holding me at arm’s length or trying to craft a more serious persona for himself that must be adhered to by everyone. \n\nI would understand much more if he was making a huge life change, like a trans woman embracing her identity by choosing a more fitting name for herself, but this is nothing like that. \n\nAm I the asshole for being irritated by this? \n\n\nTLDR: My longtime friend suddenly insists that I call him by his full first name instead of a shortened version and I don’t understand why. (Eg: “Marcus” instead of “Mark”) ######","completion":" YTA - calling your friend by the name he prefers will make him feel closer to you even if it feels formal to you. It doesn't matter if you understand his reasons, it's a sign of respect to do as he asks. Yes, it will take you time to get used to it but keep trying. ######"}

We've been postponing and finally our venue is opening up, but they've said we can only bring 20 guests. We originally had a guest list of over a 100 people, but due to the pandemic a lot of them backed out and said they'd attend over Zoom. We're down to 60 people now. My sister was one of those people. She was 2 months pregnant at the time (now she's 7 months along or almost), and said that she'd attend over zoom. I know she felt very bad, so she bought me my wedding dress as my wedding gift + apology present. \n\nFor a while now, BIL and her have been in the process of buying a new house. They finally moved in a month and a half ago. Their house is absolutely gorgeous. It has a pool and a tennis court. I know that she can get her pool covered, and removing the nets from the tennis court would open up a world of possibilities and give us so much space to work with.\n\nShe was unhappy when I brought it up.

She doesn't have to attend in person if she doesn't want to. \n\nShe said that she's already bought me my wedding dress, but I'm willing to pay her back for it in monthly payments if it means she'll let me have her wedding at her place.

{"prompt":"Okay so this title  makes it sound really bad but it’s not as cut and dry as it seems. \n\nI’m (21m) a senior in college but am doing a five year program. I have two roommates in an off-campus apartment, two dudes that I’ve been friends with for years.  They’re both graduating in May, only staying for four years. People start looking at off-campus housing at my school for next year in September or October of the current year (insane, I know), so I have to start looking now if I’m going to find something live-able\/not super expensive.

That’s when I said no, I’m not interested. \n\nI have no interest in living with another gay guy. I just don’t want to live with someone that there is ever any shot of anything sexual happening with, which is why I’ve only lived with straight men.

Plus in sophomore year I lived in the dorms with another gay guy, we hooked up while living together, and it was a whole thing. \n\nWell, it turns out John already mentioned me to the guy before having this conversation, and now he had to tell him I wasn’t into it. He also apparently had to tell him why for whatever reason. Apparently the guy now thinks I’m a “self-hating gay,” which I find offensive and ridiculous.

Kayla rescinded the invite saying she didn't want ex-girlfriends at her wedding. I was like whatever. Recently I reconnected with Alex when a mutual friend passed away and she emailed me asking me to stop trying to mess with her marriage. I told her that the only reason why he married her was because I didn't want to marry him and if I wanted him back, then I could. \n\nThat shut her up for awhile, but she later called me a \"fucking bitch.\" ######","completion":" YTA   this wasn't a rebound marriage they started dating a couple of years later.  You made it sound like if you snapped your fingers he'd ditch her and come running.  I'd have called you a whole lot more names than that. ######"}
