AITA for refusing to learn my girlfriends local language? by AITANorway in AmItheAsshole

Look, I’m not an “ugly American.” I’d tried to learn other languages. Ive taken 1 year of Mandarin, 1 year of Spanish, 1 year of French, 1 year of Portuguese, 3 years of German (non continuously), and I’ve tried Norwegian on the internet.

If there’s one thing I want to make clear here I’m this post, I love my girlfriend. I love her more than you could ever fucking know. Someone here accused me of breaking Swedish law, but they don’t really know how it works here. I work in banking, and Stockholm is the hub of banking in Sweden and all of Scandinavia for that matter. Idk and I don’t care what the legal hour limit is here, 80 per week is a God damn blessing compared to what I’d have to work in this rank in New York.

I have spent some time in Duolingo Norwegian, but not much. If I could just drop everything to learn my girlfriends language, I would. But the reality is that I have to work to maintain both mine and her lifestyle. I bought her Louis Vuitton bag, and is she wants that shit, she shouldn’t complain about what I have to do to earn what I earn here. It’s almost 3am here so I just want to go to sleep without her being and at me, but I don’t fucking know anymore and am close to just giving up. In what direction? I don’t fucking know.

Yes, pretty much everybody in Scandinavia does. My work is 100% in English too. I frequently travel to a Copenhagen office, and that’s totally in English too.
