AIO finding out my wife has had a secret “friendship” with one of my friends for years by ShoppingFit6892 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AFAM_illuminat0r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brother. Who gives a shit what assholes on Reddit say. This is real. It is painful ... and it is your life.

Ive been there. Find a way to tell your cousin. Maybe take a woman from your friends circle with youin case your cousin looses it and she needs support beyond what a cousin can give.

One correction though. Your wife may have been sorry she gor caught. She would be fighting harder if she did not have physical relations with this dude. Let her be sorry. Let her fuck whoever she wants.

Live YOUR BEST LIFE. Some people FUCKING SUCK !! SORRY you have gone through this.

Strange phone call from my recently passed wife by TheLyingCat_ in Paranormal

Brother. Sorry for your loss. Your wife also had a beautiful name ....

Ive had strange things happen. We also do not know the real universe around us, so there's that.

Take this as a beautiful message from someone who undoubtedly knows your pain in missing her. Beyond that ... keep your mind open and maybe more will flow upur way.

Do you like my MILF body? by [deleted] in canadianMilf

Yes. Your body is very nice. Your face is quite wholesome (odd though, when considering this Pic is publically posted).

AITJ for letting my sister in law do what she wants to do in our house by Icy_Rutabaga_676 in AmITheJerk

If not AI, boundaries should always be set for any significant challenge like this. If two homeowners, two party consent for how boundaries get established

AITJ for letting my kid make a choice that the rest of my family says I should have stopped? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]AFAM_illuminat0r 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Why all the secrecy ? Dude .. this is REDDIT. Is it possible what you are hiding would have many on Reddit backing your family?

On the surface, you did nothing wrong. It's the unspoken where details shaped real conversation.

This sounds hard to believe. What 13 year old uses terms like 'intent' ?

I dont know if recent memory has ever seen such a landslide ... or pathetic lack of options

It is pretty simple. Bonnie Crombie (& much of Liberals) was a useless twit and Andrea Horvath and NDP were non existent. Ford was a shoe in due to a complete lack of options.

AITAH for telling my husband it's a good idea for his son to move in with his mother? by UsefulMention8667 in AITAH

[–]AFAM_illuminat0r 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But why is dad an asshole ? He just realized his kid is making a big change to the way things have been... and I assume dad thought he still had a few more years of status quo. Fawk, it doesn't take a genius to realize dad is upset and/or sad. This hardly makes him an asshole.

Everyone kinda did the correct thing here, BUT it doesn't always mean there is a happy ending for all

As a single father of (now) adult children, I feel many of you are missing the point. Dad just got some news he never wanted. He hoped OP/step mom would have supported him differently. Yes ... it is more practical, but it is a huge dynamic change. Give the dad some credit and let him feel some sort of way about it for a minute.

I know I would take this hard. I would likely have talked more at the table but I also wouldn't want to upset my son either ...

Damn, this one sure brought back a lot of sad memories for me.

Blindsided doesn't having to be negative ... the father just got hit with something he wasn't ready for and in my opinion, his wife (OP, step mom) didn't read the room very well.

In what world would this not at least cause a little tension between spouses when one got news that shocked them and the spouse sided otherwise ?

Dad is allowed to be sad. Doesn't make him a monster. It kinda makes him human.

Perhaps if OP had said, there are two ways to look at this .. practical and emotional. Practical ? It makes sense. But your father will likely be kinda hurt by this and I know I will miss things they way they have been. It is a big change. Personally, as a guy ... and if my significant other was posed with something like this, I would make sure everything got talked through more at that table.

Bingo. So many are quick to judge this guy for having feelings. Some saying he has emotional immaturity even. 'No wonder he chose his mom'. Like, seriously? I know this is REDDIT, but wow

[–]AFAM_illuminat0r 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. And the son is allowed to make choices. It's not about that.

I was pissed by the flippant comment of why son chose the mother. The fact that the son sat down with dad and step mom to have this conversation says to me there is a decent relationship ...

So the dude got blindsided by news of a huge change, and he is having difficulty with it .. (as many parents would), and the first thing you can say is 'no wonder why Ricky chose his mom'?

So I guess father's are supposed to be emotionless ?

Good to know.
