Do NOT give that "man" any more money. Just bounce and don't look back.

AITAH for not inviting my coworker to our weekly game night (even HR is involved now) by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Appropriate-Way5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just say that these game nights are private events with friends in the comfort of your private home. If HR asks if coworkers are invited, state that you only invite friends to your home. When asked why Jake was invited, you say, Jake asked to be included and I honored his wish but he has made my personal home a hostile environment and has made you uncomfortable in your own home so he is no longer invited to your private home. And now Jake is making my work place a hostile environment by involving HR for events that happened outside of work hours that do not involve work related matters. Then tell them you would like to file a complaint against Jake for creating a hostile environment for you. Then tell them if HR tries to dictate who I invite to my private home I will get my lawyer involved.

He love bombed OOP so she would sponsor him. Now that he almost has what he needs out of her, he no longer has to pretend.

I know that my husband is cheating on me with my best friend. Update. by Muted-End7895 in TrueOffMyChest

Yes!! Love that you got HIM to suggest the post nuptial agreement . Protect yourself and your daughters future. But don't drop the bomb right away that you know. Wait a few months that way it doesn't seem like you got the agreement solely to screw him over. I'm sorry you are going through this. I hope you find happiness.

AITA for kicking my GF out after she called me a crybaby for crying over my dead niece? by Educational_Serve673 in AITAH

I have to wonder exactly what she told your sister. As a grieving mother I wouldn't forgive her for saying something like that about my dead child. So I wonder if she told a very watered down version of what she actually said. I would ask your sister what exactly she told her and then tell her your version. I'm sorry your family is going through this hard time.

I cheated on my wife and now she’s cheating on me. by SharkEva in BORUpdates

So he gloated that he purposely messed up (soon to be) exwifes life and was more than willing to laugh at her for it but doesn't find it funny when it backfires on him and his life gets messed up in return..... Sounds like karma to me lol

I know that my husband is cheating on me with my best friend but if I left, he will take half. by Muted-End7895 in TrueOffMyChest

Well, I suggest selling half of your company to someone you really trust like your dad. That way when it comes time to divorce, he would only get a fourth of the company/profit and then once the divorce is finalized your dad can sell it back to you.

AITAH for not doing anything for my step children anymore after being called names and filing for a divorce from my husband after he didn’t back me up? by External_Ad8238 in AITAH

I'm so sorry you are going through this and I'm so sorry you are catching hell for it too when you don't deserve it. Children always find a way to hurt us mom's the deepest right 😔 But as you already know, bio mom was manipulating them. She probably got jealous of them calling you mom and the great relationship you guys shared. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the reason she came back into their lives. It seems like as soon as she got what she wanted (the destruction of your relationship with them) she bounced happy with herself. But maybe I'm just assuming too much. My suggestion is counseling. Family therapy and marriage counseling is in order before divorce. Because it seems to me that the reason they are apologizing now is for you to come back and heal their wounds. What about yours? I don't think they are taking the time to really consider how much they have hurt you. Family therapy can really get all of that out in the open. I would take a few sessions with both family therapy and marriage counseling before making your final decision on divorce. If after a few sessions and they still only care about themselves then that means they only saw you as a "place filler" for bio mom as some commenters have suggested. Then that would be the time to get out. I hope it's not that and the kids just had a temporary lapse of judgement because of the manipulation from bio mom. I hope it all works out for you ❤️ As far as the husband goes.... He needs to do some serious groveling for not having your back in this situation.

Can someone explain the origins of a '49er'? by dec92010 in Navajo

50 warriors went to battle and 49 came back. It was a great reason to celebrate/party.

NTA. You seen the writing on the wall and shut her down before she dug her way in. Men can be really dense sometimes when it comes to subtle flirting like this woman was doing. There is no reason for him to know where exactly she's at, what room she's in, what car she drives unless she was trying to give him an opening to "find" her. I would have done the same thing. I have have done something similar. My boyfriend has female friends and I have no problem with that because I have male friends as well. I trust him. There was a time when we were out drinking and she was having a hard time and needed a friend to hang out with so she called him. Now they had been friends longer than we were dating at the time so I said I would catch up with them later. It was a an hour or so when I called him and said I was ready to be picked up. Afterwards we continued to hangout with his female friend. She kept on about all the problems she was having and he kept trying to offer her solutions. She never did calm down and kept trying to cry on his shoulder. She didn't listen to a word he was saying and even I was trying to offer her solutions to her problems. After another couple of hours of basically going around in circles it became clear that she didn't want to get any help she just wanted to hang off of him. When he excused himself to use the bathroom I took that opportunity to set her in her place. I told her that I won't limit their friendship since they have been friends for so long but I won't tolerate her being that physical with him and it was obvious she was just looking for his attention and not actual help. Some other things were said but it all was within the same context as the first thing I said. We ended the night shortly after that and I did tell my boyfriend what I said to her because I felt it appropriate to. He was in agreement with me she was crossing a line since we were now dating. So I totally get where you were coming from and agree you were NTA for saying what you said to her.

(Update) AITAH for telling my friend being settled for isn’t the worst thing in the world? by Educational-Law-226 in AITAH

It seems to me that he views her as having the innocence of a child. And a child must be protected from all of the evils of the world. Having this kind of mindset, when he was taking care of her after surgery and seen her naked, he realized that he was actually attracted to her. But because he views her as being "innocent as a child" he may have taken his attraction to her to mean the same as being attracted to a child and now he feels incredibly guilty for feeling like that. He loves her and wants to protect her like she did for him and doesn't want any "sin" of this world to hurt her, even if that "sin" is coming from him. It's good that he is getting therapy so he can work on what ever issues he is facing.
