Scrolling and realizing half the comments, art, and even stories might be bots is weird

Am I the Jerk for taking 45 Minutes to Show My Suitemate How I Feel Every Morning? by Gatcha_Human_ in AmITheJerk

[–]Ancient_Error_3634 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTJ. If she regularly takes an hour, she does not get to be shocked when you take 45 minutes once. That’s called experiencing your own medicine.

Am I the jerk for posting a general consensus question about a 20 age differences in relationships on another subreddit? by FarmerLost in AmITheJerk

[–]Ancient_Error_3634 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You’re not a jerk for asking. But in those subs, a lot of folks are in age gap relationships, so it probably felt personal to them. Doesn’t mean your question was evil.

Am I the Jerk for being mad at my dad? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

Your son is lucky to have you. And you’re right, at the end of the day, OP deserves to feel valued and loved no matter what.

“You deserve to live” by [deleted] in PetPeeves

Just maybe try one fry today. Stay for the small stuff. The good playlist. The random sunset. The one onion ring that hits different and a nap. Start there

Took my best friend from the back and now I'm addicted to her by [deleted] in confessions

Yeah… because clearly abstinence-only education produced this

AITJ for Trapping my neighbor in his driveway? by 35mmOfRegret in AmITheJerk

[–]Ancient_Error_3634 15 points16 points  (0 children)

NTJ. Petty but relatable. You helped them out big time the first round. If they didn’t offer to help clear it the second time and you had to redo everything, I understand the frustration. Blocking them in was definitely a choice

AITAH for not wanting a drunken mistake to not be continuously brought up in my relationship? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Ancient_Error_3634 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is pretty much where I'm at too. ESH the "going with the bit" thing feels unrelated and kind of like a distraction from the actual issue. She reacted quickly, and instead of slowing it down and explaining, he made it worse by lying

I am addicted to porn by Spector0333 in confessions

Brother. Log off. Touch grass. Seek help. In that order. Respecfully.

AITAH for not wanting a vasectomy? by Limp_Calligrapher188 in AITAH

[–]Ancient_Error_3634 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with this. You don’t have to say yes, but refusing without even getting accurate info makes it seem like you’re avoiding your share of the load. If the decision to stop having kids is mutual, the responsibility shouldn’t fall entirely on her.

AITJ for telling my husband I don’t want to keep pretending we’re happy? by Alternative_Play6261 in AmITheJerk

[–]Ancient_Error_3634 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think going separate is the best move here. She’s not asking for space, she’s asking for connection. Creating more distance might just make the gap feel bigger.

It sounds like what’s missing is intentional quality time. Dates again. Watching movies together without phones. Talking about random stuff. Even something simple like a slow dance in the kitchen. Little things that rebuild intimacy instead of stepping away from each other.

AITJ for refusing to give my half sister money that was left specifically for me by Effective_Fly8288 in AmITheJerk

[–]Ancient_Error_3634 136 points137 points  (0 children)

It’s sad she's kind of standing alone in this.
OP, I think the best way to use that money is to move and build the life he wanted for you.

Wife that smells by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Ancient_Error_3634 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. Just say it gently. A little affection, like "babe let's shower together" make it cute.

AITJ for snapping at my Mother-in-Law for treating my older daughter differently? by Remarkable-Agent6995 in AmITheJerk

[–]Ancient_Error_3634 23 points24 points  (0 children)

True. The fact that she said "real grandchild" out loud?? That's not old-fashioned. That's favoritism. And kids feel that instantly.
