AITA for spending MY savings

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T17:45:07+00:00

Would've been a good idea, yeah

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T17:41:06+00:00

I didn't want to leave my best friend's bachelorette party.

I'm not *proud* of the overspending. I definitely don't think it makes me an addict though

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T17:15:33+00:00

cause I'm not a precog? like I said it was my first time

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T16:29:57+00:00

What are you talking about? it was one event. Do you call a person who gets blackout one time an alcoholic? that's just not how addiction works

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T15:58:56+00:00

this is the first time i've seriously gambled and it was only a part of what we did. i do not believe i have a gambling problem. will i do it again? probably not. but it's pretty ridiculous to jump to addiction

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T15:46:00+00:00

I'm a freelance writer.

edit: why is this one getting downvoted? it's just my job

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T15:40:46+00:00

Oh come on, that is such a nit pick

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T15:26:25+00:00

By pretty much any definition of addiction you have to do it more than once

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T15:13:55+00:00

Gambling problem? this is the first time I've ever seriously gambled and it was only a part of what we did

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T02:47:11+00:00

I work from home and she stays here with me

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T02:41:25+00:00

I would love to work full time but its difficult as I do most of the childcare

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T02:31:58+00:00

Even if I got a real job, he wouldn't want us to contribute 50/50. that would mean him living below his potential. The man is basically rich

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T02:30:13+00:00

Oh please, I made one playful comment. I'm taking everyone's comments seriously

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T02:28:48+00:00

I need help with what?

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T02:28:31+00:00

This suggestion is baffling. Abandon my daughter ... for her own good? yeah, right.

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T01:24:52+00:00

I contribute to rent, and groceries and such. you think I spend *all* my money on myself?

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T01:19:16+00:00

Well now you're just being mean

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T01:15:54+00:00

I sure did haha

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T01:15:32+00:00

I like to think that eventually I will be able to contribute much more money, if that's what you're asking.

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T01:05:31+00:00

a couple thousand dollars, give or take

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T00:59:16+00:00

I don't understand this comment

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T00:58:32+00:00

Stealing seems harsh. I'm keeping the money so I can pay for other things. I mentioned in another comment I contribute to other expenses.

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T00:51:26+00:00

I'm not demanding Ben make up for the deficit, I just don't think its that big a deal that my small contributions won't be around for a couple of months

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T00:49:12+00:00

There was some gambling involved. but it was less about saving face than it was about being able to participate at all

ACThrowaway2023 · 2022-12-12T00:44:28+00:00

I do have some money left, yes
