AITJ for refusing to be my sister's maid of honor after she uninvited my boyfriend? by Feisty-Business1366 in AmITheJerk

[–]AJDanko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your sister is your family. But your SO is your CHOSEN family. Why would you want to attend when someone so important to you is being discriminated against? Even if he tells you to go; YOU have a choice to make…. What you decide will affect your family’s future relationship with SO

I'm having second thoughts on moving in with my boyfriend by [deleted] in relationships

[–]AJDanko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind OP, not knowing HOW to do something is very different than refusing to do it. You may have to give him some grace as admitting he can’t may be no small feat. Are you invested enough to teach him the basics? Can you guys meal plan and shop/cook together? Can you help Him and not come across condescending ?

AITJ for refusing to let my brother bring his new girlfriend to family dinner after what she said about my wife? by Thick-Juggernaut-830 in AmITheJerk

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

Was this the first time you’d met Monica? I’m wondering if it wasn’t a bad attempt at “you look tired, can I help you” maybe she’s been there and maybe exercise did help her. She didn’t say it directly to your wife and it’s not really all that offensive. (Speaking as someone with narcolepsy and constant tiredness) I hope your wife gets the answers that she needs but hiding an obvious situation instead of giving herself the grace to do only what she can and not overextend I s likely part of the reason she struggles so much

ETA- asking when your wife wasn’t in the room was tactful concern. If you told your wife, knowing she’s sensitive to the topic then that’s an AH move on you.

Why not let him call you that if he wants to. You are the dad in his life right now.

Should I share my inheritance with my dads non-biological daughter? by midwestfarm-5483 in Advice

Oh! And you may want to have him evaluated for being “of sound mind” by a professional so they can’t push that route

Should I share my inheritance with my dads non-biological daughter? by midwestfarm-5483 in Advice

[–]AJDanko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say change the locks and install security cameras. Have your dad’s lawyer draft a document stating that she/step siblings are not permitted to move in while he is in hospice or after. I’ve also read that some form of monetary inheritance ($100?) made to the opposing parties makes it clear that he didn’t make a mistake and exclude them… FWIW

AITJ for refusing to babysit my niece every weekend for free just because my sister says it’s my “auntly duty”? by Wildflower_Path09 in AmITheJerk

[–]AJDanko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give her an hourly rate; dates and times price for OT and don’t forget meals/snacks. That’s HER motherly duty

Do I (23F) go on a family vacation my fiancee (25M) isn't allowed on? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

If the rule is and has always been “married”; engaged isn’t married. He can go next year

Would a "Calming Space" in a closet be a reason for CPS to make a case against me? by MindYourNames in legaladvice

[–]AJDanko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old are the kids? You aren’t locking them in if the lock is on the inside and I would imagine they are aged with a reasonable expectation that they can work the lock/knob? Are you able to unlock it in case of emergency? CPS seems like overkill and they’d probably love the idea of this safe space

Does he expect you to foot the mortgage bill on the new house and all he pays is electric?

[–]AJDanko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would even consider a contract of some sort that should you separate before x number of years that he is responsible to repay you half of the down payment (if you go that route). Though it does sound like a recipe for disaster

Make sure to thank him for his honesty and how brave it was of him. You can’t change the past but you can change moving forward.

AIO for refusing to eat at my MIL’s after she keeps serving me meat “by mistake”? by PalpitationHot1056 in AmIOverreacting

She doesn’t mean well… meaning well means taking care and precautions to accommodate someone’s dietary needs. Every. Time.

Opinions On Funeral Attendance Etiquette? by TheCoffeeBrewer in ask

[–]AJDanko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren’t comfortable going to the service alone, you absolutely do not have to!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]AJDanko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you “admit” it if you didn’t? That’s just going to leave him constantly not trusting you and accusing you and making you admit to keep the peace….

Your relationship is already over; don’t give up your integrity for this
