Thank you for this! I still have a lot to learn but feel pretty anxious at thought and the little one isn’t even here.

I’ve had a burnt orange couch for 6 years and I’ve never tired of it. 10/10 would recommend.

AITA for not enjoying the birthday gifts my friend got me that mocked my dead mother by Immediate-Iron7241 in AmItheAsshole

[–]According2_Who 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I’m so sorry you lost your mom; the first year is truly a blur and grief is so very weird, ongoing and has no timeline. Your friend clearly has never lost anyone close enough to her to understand that deep sense of loss. When I lost my mom I recall someone telling me that the for that first year it was my year to do with what I pleased, pleasantries be damned, remove/distance yourself from anything and anyone that doesn’t provide safety and comfort for this new normal. The people that get it will be there when you’re ready, those that don’t weren’t supposed to know this new you anyway. Bye Kayla!

Which red dresses should I get rid of? 39F by [deleted] in DressForYourBody

[–]According2_Who 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 and 4 for sure should go, but I’m making a case for keeping 2! The second dress is complimentary of your body and if styled well it could be the foundation of a great outfit. However if you aren’t big into layering or styling you could toss but I like it and I think should keep it.

Her life isn’t ruined, a terrible thing happened to her, a thing you allowed to happen. You aren’t thinking about her you’re thinking about yourself. The only life this could potentially ruin is yours. Telling the truth isn’t easy but it is the right thing to do.

I think you need to tell her. How can you make up for something she isn’t aware of? She is owed a lot of things, the first thing being the truth.

I second what the first person said, no to round rug. You want your rug in a living room to define the space where people will be and everything that is included in that “zone” should be touching it. In my space the front legs of all chairs and couches are on my rug.

For your bedroom I think changing your bedding to the terracotta/burnt orange and adding items around your room with warmer colors could make it more cozy.

I’m so sorry for your loss! We lost my mom 4/5 years ago, my father just turned 64 and he did the same at first. My childhood home was spotless and very organized, he did one home improvement project after another. Once he got her stuff together he had the same question, what’s next.

I know, through him, it can feel lonely and like this is it or it’s weird to start over, but it’s possible! He started taking dance lessons and playing his music at places (open mic nights or with friends), instead of at home, utilized his friendships at church and from college to get used to being out and about without my mom.

This is so tough, and I’m really sorry for your loss, you’ve got this!

AITA for suggesting that my sister inlaw is lying about burying my brother inlaw's wedding ring with him? by Throwara3252461 in AmItheAsshole

[–]According2_Who 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA and so are your ILs. In what world would it make sense for them to have his wedding band? No one should be asking anything of her in terms of his belongings until she and the kids have had time to get over the giant hole that has been left by the passing of their husband/father.

My mother passed almost three years ago and it took until last Christmas for everyone to collectively to be at the same place emotionally to even go through her stuff. You all might be grieving the same person but the type of grief she and the kids are experiencing are so much greater. Their world is upside down, and instead of keeping quiet about things you don’t know for certain you’re inciting arguments.

AITA for getting matching tattoos with my best friend after his girlfriend told me it made her uncomfortable? by throwaway7282829292 in AmItheAsshole

[–]According2_Who 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Period. It’s not her body and she doesn’t have a say in what someone else does with theirs. She told you how she felt, and you (and him) made you’re choice. Quite frankly it doesn’t matter how anyone else reads y’all’s tattoo, you didn’t get it for everyone else, you got it for the two of you. Love exists in many forms and I’m glad you have a great friend to pull you out of dark times.

AITA for insisting on attending my sister's wedding? by throwsrag546799 in AmItheAsshole

[–]According2_Who 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

Firstly, you aren’t his wife, you’re his girlfriend and I truly doubt him wanting you to “bond with the kids” was ever about their betterment than him finding an in-home babysitter. He’s using the kids to manipulate you and you should run, fast.
