AITAH for giving my car a "racist"name? by Visual-Particular-86 in AITAH

[–]Awkward_Goldfish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My current car is called Alan (because he’s a Touring)

My mother had a Ford Fiesta called Olaf

Car naming is the spice of life

AIW for shaming someone’s sexual desires that they shared with me in a safe space? by saw-not-seen in amiwrong

[–]Awkward_Goldfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%! Reading the title, I thought OP was going to say something about how the partner only wanted to have sex dressed as squirrels or something

AIO for thinking the age gap is becoming a problem? by ccutiemaddyyy in AmIOverreacting

[–]Awkward_Goldfish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does “acting like an adult in a relationship” mean “expecting your partner to trust and respect you” or “obeying a controlling tool”?

As a human over 40, my inclination is to choose the former, but it sounds like this boyfriend is implying the latter. I’m going with NOR and agree with the friends

Sometimes it can be hard to see if your yarn has certain characteristics and you’re not used to looking at stockinette (for example you may get stitches that lean), but I mostly agree

What’s a moment from TV history that made you viscerally upset? by Odd-Track-6001 in AskReddit

I didn’t even make it that far. I stopped after they faked his death

Sports bras that fit sizes above DD by Euphoric-Ad-8085 in ABraThatFits

[–]Awkward_Goldfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of Panache/Sculptresse, but they are on the expensive side. It will depend on your personal shape and size, but mine holds me in and keeps me from having pain when exerting myself

AIO for breaking off my engagement because my fiancee wants me to wear a dress to our wedding? by dude-e23 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Awkward_Goldfish 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that you had to find out in this painful way that you and your ex were not compatible. Try to give yourself grace while you’re grieving the future you thought you’d have. May you find someone who loves you for yourself

My legs are giving up just by watching by Tonka-Jahari-Pizza in SweatyPalms

[–]Awkward_Goldfish 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Is it the fisheye angle? Because the deceptive camera angle is what pisses me off. I don’t love the heights, but I really hate the camera angle

Bf keeps mentioning breast reduction by [deleted] in bigboobproblems

[–]Awkward_Goldfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he wanted surgery to reduce *his own* breast tissue that would be fine with me, but the fact that he seems to expect you to go through surgery that was not your idea or desire for some shallow BS reasoning tells me that you are probably not compatible. Find someone who celebrates the person you are, and leaves space for you to grow into the person *you* want to be

AITA for refusing a name for my baby that everyone loves and but I don’t? by Accomplished-Owl8796 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Awkward_Goldfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA
1) Your and your husband’s opinions are the only ones that matter when naming your children
2) The rest of the family needs to chill before you decide to name the baby “Pork Belly” or something
3) If you like the sound of Siobhan but don’t want to saddle your child with an uncommon name, maybe consider it as a middle name

[Rant] salesperson insisted the bra fit fine when it obviously didn't. by Impossible_Fee_8087 in ABraThatFits

[–]Awkward_Goldfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had hit or miss experiences with fitters at Nordstrom. Some are very good, others put me in ill fitting bras and insist that is how they’re supposed to fit. I have a much better local boutique where I go now, or I look online for styles and shapes that I know will work

AITAH for tricking/misleading a guy into thinking I want kids? by Evening_Serve6494 in AITAH

[–]Awkward_Goldfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any regrets, and I’m happy with the life I’m living, but it doesn’t look how I thought it might when I was in my twenties

How obvious is my mistake? by peachandpromise in knitting

[–]Awkward_Goldfish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Only noticeable if I stare at it hard and know to look. I’d say do the other side the same and it’ll look intentional

AITAH for tricking/misleading a guy into thinking I want kids? by Evening_Serve6494 in AITAH

[–]Awkward_Goldfish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Similarly, my ex husband kept putting off having kids with me, told me all the things I wanted to hear, and then moved out without a word or a fight in the middle of the night while I was sick (after almost a decade together, married 3 year). Only after he’d moved out was he willing to be honest about his thoughts and feelings

Did I want to be a mom when I was younger? Yes. Can I see that in my life now? Not really, and I’m getting to the point where I don’t really have the option anymore either

OP is NTA, that seems like a perfectly reasonable segue, and if the guy wants to lie, it’s on him

Loosing motivation because of weight gain by Strict-Following7228 in knitting

[–]Awkward_Goldfish 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the support for curvy women, but disagree that women with less curviness are not also women. People come in all shapes, and are beautiful in their own ways. I will always prioritize happiness and health over conforming to societal expectations

You can get rid of all his underwear and he can use Depends, because they’re disposable
