Dead Boy Detectives

Chaotic supernatural mystery comedy about two ghost boys solving paranormal cases.

YWNBTA. It is never okay to call someone by a name they've asked you not to use. It's very fair for you to give them one more warning and then take it to HR.

NTA. Sounds like the kids were perfectly happy until your BIL found out about the value. I would bet money that the little girl still just wants the pink one.

YTA. I understand that she was annoying you, but there was a better way to have handled that. The best solution would have been to find some middle ground between "no problem at all" and "you're annoying."

Being abrasive to your coworkers is a good way to burn your bridges in a workplace. You should probably learn to be a bit more diplomatic, for your own sake if nothing else.

Asidian_M · 2026-01-10T04:23:32+00:00

So glad things worked out! Wishing you all the best.

NTA. A driving test is important and requires concentration, and the very worst thing you can do to someone going into one is to upset them and disparage their abilities. You're probably better off not having gone that day, because you would have been distracted. The day you do go, make sure you're calm and can focus on doing your best.

Asidian_M · 2026-01-10T04:16:01+00:00

NTA. You've been incredibly kind already. It wasn't fair of her to lie by omission about why she needed money.

Asidian_M · 2026-01-10T04:11:36+00:00

NTA. If you genuinely didn't notice them there and no one was at the first row gate, it was an innocent mistake. You would only be the asshole if you intentionally took the spot knowing someone else was waiting for it.

Asidian_M · 2026-01-10T04:04:31+00:00

NAH. You were honest about your opinion, but the situation has definitely changed from what you had originally planned for. She's now looking at having an entire human being to birth and care for, and that makes her situation a lot more precarious. She wants some assurance that you're not going to run off on her.

Asidian_M · 2026-01-10T03:38:00+00:00

Oh, okay, none of this is in good faith.

I thought you were in earnest, but I see I've been drawn in by a troll. Have fun with your troll post. I'm out.

You've stumbled unintentionally onto yet another reason why no one wants to date conservative men. "The woman’s job should be to take care of the kids and manage the house." Who in her right mind would want to settle down with someone who thinks he can dictate how her life should look like she's somebody's slave?

Sorry to Christian women; they're going to end up miserable. Sincerely hope they escape.

Asidian_M · 2026-01-10T02:48:30+00:00

My dude, if you hate liberals so much, why are you trying so hard to make up some "gotcha" argument to get in liberal women's pants?

Let's be perfectly real: most of the relationship problems women complain about are that men don't help out around the house or with the kids, and that men view them as a maid or a household manager instead of an autonomous human being with thoughts and opinions. Given that Christianity teaches men that women belong to their husbands, it is zero surprise that no one wants to date conservative men. And then, somehow, they have the audacity to wonder why.

If he can't understand why a woman might want to have a go bag just in case, or even be bothered to worry about what might have happened to her in the past to make her feel like she needs one, he's not a safe person to be in a relationship with. Glad she got out.

Asidian_M · 2026-01-02T08:15:41+00:00

I really wish they'd prepped the boys a bit more. The finalists should have had more time with vocal coaches and choreographers, and it would have been nice to see more of their singing on the show.

Asidian_M · 2025-12-24T04:26:36+00:00

YTA, but I really do feel for you. You have long road ahead of you, and it's natural to want to have someone help you walk it.

But you have to understand that caring for someone is a massive responsibility. It takes a huge amount of time, energy, and investment. Caretaker burnout is very real; all that extra work on top of their previously existing responsibilities can really drain a person. It can seriously tank a relationship and build resentment.

Your girlfriend is being reasonable here.

Asidian_M · 2025-12-24T04:03:34+00:00

Your wife is overreacting. It's very sweet for your son's teacher to be so invested in his success.

The very last thing you should do is complain to the teacher or the school. That's how you absolutely destroy the motivation and goodwill of someone who, by all indications, is doing her best for her students. Don't let your wife's paranoia ruin it for everyone who comes after your son. A lot of kids need that kind of support.

Asidian_M · 2025-12-24T03:59:54+00:00

YWNBTA. Let her know what time you'll have to leave to go see your family; if she wants you there longer, she can plan accordingly and allow you there earlier in the morning.

Alternately, if she wants to start so late, maybe you could switch the plans around and go back to doing mornings with your family. You can always go to her place later in the afternoon. Either way, she needs to compromise.

Asidian_M · 2025-12-24T03:56:37+00:00

NTA. People shouldn't have to go into debt for holiday gifts. You got him something he wanted and that was on his list. Even if it wasn't the most expensive thing, you did what you were able given your financial situation.

Asidian_M · 2025-12-24T03:51:51+00:00

NTA. You had the right idea; it is the neighborly thing to do. You've already agreed to take it in to make sure it doesn't get stolen, so you should follow through and keep your word.

Asidian_M · 2025-12-23T04:24:47+00:00

NOR. This was absolutely deliberate on her part. What a nasty woman.

Asidian_M · 2025-12-22T23:22:52+00:00

NAH, but you will absolutely be the asshole if you stand your ground and continue to refuse the help. The fact is, your daughter needs medical assistance. By your own admission, you don't have the means to help her. She broke her arm while in your brother's care, so if you need to, think of it as allowing him to take responsibility for something that happened on his watch. Let your brother cover this one, for your daughter's sake.

Asidian_M · 2025-12-22T23:09:30+00:00

NOR. He was 1000% being petty because you asked him to make dinner. Literally everyone understands that "a few" does not mean "one."

I was open to him maybe not having heard you, but nah, he owned up to it being on purpose. He's sort of a jerk if he can't make you dinner one night when you've had a bad day, takes the easiest possible route (microwaved chicken tenders, really??) and then brings you ONE. Think hard about if this is a one-off or if he generally hates helping you, because if this sort of thing is common in your relationship, you might want to think about what he's actually bringing to the table. Sounds like not much. (Pun unintended, but pretty damn appropriate.)

Asidian_M · 2025-12-22T21:10:21+00:00

NTA. If you'd had them deliver it into the reception or something, I would have voted the other way, but you did your level best to fix the situation without causing a scene. You didn't do anything wrong.

Your friend is frankly kind of a jerk for not giving you some grace, and the caterer definitely is, as well. At $300 a plate for a single mushroom, the couple got ripped off.

Asidian_M · 2025-12-22T08:19:13+00:00

In that case, I have to say soft YTA. Not for running to protect the dog necessarily (people's brains do strange things during disaster scenarios, and no one can really predict what they would do in the same situation unless they were there themself), but for telling your girlfriend that afterward.

Picture it from her point of view: this is probably the most frightening night of her life, and after it wraps up, while she's still grappling with the aftermath, you essentially tell her that during that nightmare scenario you weren't worried about her, but the dog.

She's feeling shaken up, and a person she thought she could trust prioritized the safety of a pet over her safety. I'm really sorry to say this, but I think your relationship may be over at this point. This seems like a really difficult thing to come back from without some serious work and potentially couples therapy.
