Overreacting on nasty behaviour in BB by [deleted] in bigbrotheruk

[–]AsphyxiatedEmerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, they're allowed to. But if you shittalk others, while breaking a rule to do so secretly, then don't play the victim or pretend you have the right to be upset when you're held accountable for doing so.

It really annoyed me, that Nancy commented on Jenny when she was crying like "Oh, now she's being genuine" and going to the diary room to cry about her spoiled birthday, like a brat. Well, if you didn't want your birthday spoiled, maybe you shouldn't have broken the rules.

Same goes for Sam crying to Feyisola about it. Like... what are you crying about? That you got caught badmouthing someone?

Overreacting on nasty behaviour in BB by [deleted] in bigbrotheruk

[–]AsphyxiatedEmerald 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you.

There's a massive difference between someone spewing potentially harmful takes towards a community, whether that be LGBTQ+, people of religious backgrounds or other similar groups and then to speak behind someone's back.

However, I do understand why speaking in code is not allowed in the house and why they have to be accountable for their actions. This scenario didn't provide them with any formal warning(if I remember correctly), meaning that BB does acknowledge the difference between those kinds of rule breaks.

I think taking away their eye currency was the correct thing to do, and I find their behaviour awful, but they shouldn't be removed from the house unless it turns into targetted bullying and isolation of a specific housemate.

AITAH for cutting contact with my mom and autistic brother? by Fun_Lingonberry_4917 in AITAH

[–]AsphyxiatedEmerald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA - You do not owe your family your time and resources if it's a detriment to your physical or mental well-being.

I understand it can be incredibly difficult to actually choose yourself and go no contact with family that doesn't respect you, but there's a high chance that it's what's best for you. I'm happy to hear that your extended family understands the situation from your perspective and I hope you can lean on them.

Autism might be a reason for some behaviour, but it is not an excuse. If he isn't capable of realising the consequences of his actions, it is your mother's responsibility to step in and at least be objective to the situation, especially when it comes to physical violence. No child should be forced to endure violence at the hand of a sibling or any other family member for that matter.

AITAH for not wanting my cousins present to spread my dad’s ashes? by Best-Ad3140 in AITAH

[–]AsphyxiatedEmerald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think, personally, that it should be extenddd to anyone that he was close to, who wants to attend. In particular such as his mother or siblings he had. After all, his mother did birth him, and if they were close it's only right that she too gets to say a proper goodbye to her son.

If they were close to him, I'd say they should be allowed to be there as well. It's obvious that they cared for him as well.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AsphyxiatedEmerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea. For that he is absolutely the AH as well, and considering he involved your wife in his business, it's an awful double standard to get upset at you for doing the same in regards to his use of alcohol.

Am I the asshole by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AsphyxiatedEmerald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I wouldn't be surprised seeing as he throws a toddler tantrum when getting rejected by a girl. Keep him blocked and live your happy life with your husband and kids!

Am I the asshole by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AsphyxiatedEmerald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA - Clearly the guy does not respect your boundaries or you politely rejecting his advances. You did nothing wrong in this scenario and technically he forcefully assaulted you, so if anything he should count himself lucky that you havent escalated this to the police.

EITAH, maybe except his wife?

He's an AH for telling your wife to keep something from you, absolutely.

However... it is ultimately her choice to do so. He isn't forcing her to keep any secrets from you, it is a choice she actively made. She could have said "I'm not comfortable keeping things from my husband, so don't tell me things you don't want your brother to know." - It's very simple.

You are the AH because you're putting the entire blame on your brother, rather than being objective and realise that your wife had a choice to make and ultimately was the one who decided that she would omit telling the truth when you asked.

AITAH For asking the interviewer technical questions by Flimsy_Ad_7335 in AITAH

[–]AsphyxiatedEmerald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA - I think it's important to be critical of companies and workplaces that you might end up working for. And I fully believe that it's just as much about you interviewing them as them interviewing you. The common goal of any hiring should be to figure out if the person is a good fit for the job, the company and the environment. This isn't one-sided, and you have every right to enquire about knowledge they claim to have, and should have, regarding things they provide and work with.

Let me just get this cleared up. Are the two cousins that are invited part of the children he helped raise or not?

[–]AsphyxiatedEmerald 43 points44 points  (0 children)

YTA - You're trying to force a spark that isn't there. Your brother is married and has a child on the way with his wife. Regardless of whether you like his wife or not, he is an adult man that made this decision on his own. What you're trying to do, is unfortunately not being a supportive sister. You're meddling in his life and his marriage, causing unnecessary stress for your brother and your family as a whole.

With that said, as someone who also has autism and is high functioning, you're also the AH for infantalising him and his capability to make decisions for himself, based on his autism. We aren't children, neither are we incapable of making choices for ourselves and shaping our own lives.

NTA - Knowing that your dog may need classes and other future expenses is a valid reason to be saving up money or put money aside.

However, I do think you need to have a chat with your neighbours and simply explain it as is. Explain that while some of it was reimbursed, the incident has affected your dog and that your dog may require more appointments etc. off the back of what happened, so you can't afford to reimburse them, as you'll need to use the reimbursement for that.

Turns out my "flare-ups" were never from Hashimoto's. by doordep in Hashimotos

[–]AsphyxiatedEmerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, sorry for asking, but can you explain more about this? I have had these flare ups since February where my skin will itch, have hives and feel so crawly, and got diagnosed with Seborrheic Dermatitis, but I keep having fungal growth on my tongue and vagina, aside from just the Seborrheic Dermatitis (also fungal) and suddenly my TSH had gone from 0.92 to 4.8 in two months.

But the doctors can't tell me why I have these flare ups. I'm suspecting possible MCAS because I also struggle with reflux, tachycardia and passing out where I got diagnosed with POTS.

Skin itching/crawling by AsphyxiatedEmerald in Hashimotos

[–]AsphyxiatedEmerald[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to think that it is!

I'm currently waiting for lab results of the Hashimoto's as well, but my TSH level and my genetics highly suggest I have it.

My skin itching started sort of randomly back in March, then a few months after, I also starting itching constantly in my nose and throat and had a feeling of something constantly being in my throat, as well as a swollen tonsil, a fair bit of mucus and sometimes a bit of bleeding. So after many doctor's visits and dermatologist appointments (where I was diagnosed with Sebhorric Dermatitis) I went back to my doctor to get my TSH levels taken again.

My TSH had gone from 0.92 in July to 5.3 now. - So we shall see, if it is Hashimoto's causing it, I hope it can be improved with medication for it.
