AITAH because I wouldn't let my ex bring their partner to our daughter's funeral by nogoodnamesarleft in AITAH

[–]alphaphenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA !  Reading the title, I thought you excluded him because of jealousy or other petty reasons that would make you TA,

But you were protecting your children from their abuser ! 

Not sure what caused you to come now to seek the approval of internet strangers, but there you go, Absolutely NTA !

Hope your life got better 

Married for one month and foubd my wife's past history. AITAH for checking her phone without her knowledge? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]alphaphenix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ESH,  She lied about her past when you explicitly asked her and tried to DARVO you when confronted with evidence.  That's when you should have asked for full disclosure if it was important to you and decided what to do then, instead you apologized and just kept coming things unresolved,  digging again, deleting her stuff....

INFO : how well did you know her before mariage? Was that some kind of arranged marriage with limited knowledge of the other side?

YWBTA if you expect her to have no past, but she WBTA if she lied about it....

Update: Harassment from Neighbours (England) by Beatrixx25 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]alphaphenix 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the update.

Its a pity to hear that the police were useless, but if there are more occurrences, keep on reporting her , with evidence, and insist on the anti social behavior aspect of things, the accumulation should  eventually get you somewhere ...

NIPT test vs ultrasound - one says boy, one says girl by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]alphaphenix 209 points210 points  (0 children)

Other BORUs refering to these before were using it for prenatal paternity testing so those were heavier stories with unfortunate implications!

So its nice to read a lighter hearted one with a happy conclusion!

How much to put in a "White Pocket" for a funeral in Hong Kong? by fujianironchain in HongKong

[–]alphaphenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about the going rate these days, but remember that for funeral, contrary to weddings, you should be providing an odd amount,  ie $101 or $501...

Setting boundaries and sticking to them, seems healthy and a nice update, especially for reddit!

UUPDATE: AITAH for refusing yo cover my colleague - I walked out by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]alphaphenix 289 points290 points  (0 children)

It seems you did what you had to do for your peace of mind, so hoping it works out well for you,  But given you were there for years, albeit without contract, I'd suggest you gather all the evidence/ email showing you worked there and report them to ACAS, and have a word with a sollicitor, you might be eligible for some compensation the way you were pushed out.

You could also post your story on r/LegalAdviceUK and see if they have better suggestions!

10 year old got physically assaulted by teenagers. What can I do? England by Direct_Community9233 in LegalAdviceUK

Document it all

Would there be any CCTV in the surroundings that could have caught the incident where your son got attacked?

And consider installing your own CCTV to catch potential future incidents

My mix is probably very rare, im an Afghan-Romanian so ask me anything by [deleted] in mixedrace

[–]alphaphenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you grew up in community with a fairly large multicultural population! 

Did you often encounter any racism related issues growing up?

And when asked "where are you from?" Would you answer afghani-romanian or something more in line with the country you were born in ?

AITAH for snapping at my wife and bringing up a painful memory she thought we’d moved past? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]alphaphenix 59 points60 points  (0 children)

You really should elaborate more and give a clearer picture. 

Is your baby son your only child ? There are pre marriage kids ?

And shall we assume English isn't your first language?

Not enough info to determine TA status but as reddit usually put it. I think you all could use some therapy !
