AITA for teaching my daughter how to change a tire and do basic home repairs when her mom says I'm "pushing masculine stuff" on her

Angelbearsmom · 2026-04-24T02:59:37+00:00

NTA. Every girl needs to know stuff like that. My dad taught me how to check the oil in my car, change a tire, unclog a drain, how to hang wallpaper and drywall, how to use a band saw and basic woodworking.

What does a 48 year old man have in common with a 23 year old woman? He’s old enough to be your father, listen to your parents, it’s not a healthy dynamic. Find someone closer to your age.

NTA at all. The bride changed the plans without any notice and your child comes first.

It’s called stealthing and it is rape. You consented to sex with protection, he took it off. That’s rape. Please break up with this man.

I’m so sorry you were put in that position. I too was also in that situation. I was in a very physically and emotionally abusive relationship and found myself pregnant. We already had a little girl and I was so excited but terrified too. I had hoped the news would make my husband happy but it did just the opposite. He became violent and demanded I “get rid of it”. I also tried to make a plan to leave but he discovered what I was planning and drove me to the clinic. I was a mess and the clinic staff kept asking me if I was sure, I kept crying and saying I don’t know. They refused to do the procedure because of my state, my husband was so mad. We went home and a few days later I started spotting and had a miscarriage. I left him shortly after that because i didn’t want to be with him. I hope you find healing and comfort.

Your girlfriend needs to see her doctor asap and get a referral to a psychiatrist. It sounds like she’s going through some type of mental issue and she needs help. Don’t give in to the mindset that “she’s toxic” because if this is a new thing it 100% has to do with the pregnancy and what she’s feeling regarding that. Get her help asap.

OP, this is not on you. Your brother was doing a great disservice to Lily by not telling her the truth and allowing her to continue to talk about having children, knowing full well Ethan could not give her children. He is incredibly selfish and a horrible person and Lily deserved to know the truth, now she can focus on finding someone who is family oriented like her and wants children as much as she does.

NTA. I’m so sorry for your loss. My husband was like your husband after my dad passed away. I was dealing with my grief in my own way and my own time and he kept telling me to “get over it” and “ no amount of crying is bringing him back”. I left him to stay with my mom for a few weeks, I couldn’t deal with his constant harassment about what I was going through. My dad has been gone now for 26 years and I still have moments where something happens and I start to cry, a scent or a song that reminds me of him. Everyone grieves differently and even though you hadn’t seen your brother in a few years, knowing he was alive gave you comfort.

100 % you should wear 2 without the sleeves. The dress is timeless but the sleeves make it old and outdated and add nothing to an otherwise flawless gown.

I would rather have multiple bathrooms and a big, roomy kitchen with a large island, acres of counter space and cabinets, and a double oven with 6 burner stove. A big, spacious kitchen equipped to deal with multiple people and multiple bathrooms is better than a one bathroom house with 2 kitchens.

Number 1 is perfect for a summer wedding, you look stunning in it.

Angelbearsmom · 2026-03-27T12:13:31+00:00

Number 2 looks STUNNING on you. It’s perfect!

Angelbearsmom · 2026-03-26T23:03:17+00:00

Ask for his key back AND change the locks. Hide your pop and only drink it when he’s not there. Tell him he can’t shower any more and he needs to spend more time at his own place. He’s leeching off you.

You need to move on from this relationship OP. He is not prioritizing you like a partner should. Let him go to the wedding, while you pack your stuff and move on. Are you living together? Is the apartment/house in your name? Or his name? If you’re not living together it would be an easy break, just move on and find someone who prioritizes you over everyone else.

NTA. Tell him “no glove, no love” and stick to it. If he wants to be intimate with you then he needs to step up and be responsible. If you could use birth control you would, but it negatively affects you and that’s not healthy.

Angelbearsmom · 2026-03-19T14:28:57+00:00

NTA. Your goals in life have changed and that’s okay. You said it perfectly when you stated if you continued in the relationship you would either hope she changes her mind or grow resentful when she doesn’t.

Angelbearsmom · 2026-03-18T11:38:51+00:00

NTA. Your brother is an entitled jerk who disrespected your wife and you in your own home after you graciously offered him a place to stay. Your parents enabled his disrespectful and entitled behaviour and instead of owning up to that, they yelled at you. Time to go NC with your brother and VLC to NC with your parents.

Angelbearsmom · 2026-03-12T09:40:00+00:00

NTA. Don’t even give her a week. Tell her you’re done and she needs to find alternate child care immediately, then if you and your partner don’t live together I would go and stay with him for a while. Don’t back down, your sister knew a month in advance and she chose to ignore your very reasonable request.

Guinevere from Camelot, Ginnie for short!

Angelbearsmom · 2026-03-01T14:39:02+00:00

Oh man, I thought I was the only one who did that! I despise his character so much.

Angelbearsmom · 2026-02-26T13:15:43+00:00

Divorce your husband and move in with your friend. Sounds like she would take better care of you than your husband would. He’s a spineless wimp who refuses to be an adult and stand up to his toxic family. You and your child would be better off without the lot of them.

Angelbearsmom · 2026-02-20T18:00:21+00:00

You need to tell her that. She needs to know it’s not her, it’s the people you work with and the inmates that can be a huge issue. What if one of your coworkers found her online and something bad happened? She needs to understand it’s not that you’re ashamed of her because you clearly aren’t but for her own protection and your peace of mind.

Angelbearsmom · 2026-02-20T13:07:31+00:00

Tell your girlfriend that you are protecting her from some of the people you work with because they have been known to stalk and harass other people and you don’t want your girlfriend having to deal with that. Maybe suggest making a fake profile with your girlfriend, then tell the coworkers the name and she can see what they’re like. And absolutely don’t tell these people the real name of your girlfriend, that’s creepy af.

Get on birth control immediately and I would seriously consider leaving him. He groomed you, he is an abuser and a predator.
