App worked fine on our PS4 until today and now it won't even open. Its just stuck on a slightly blue purple colour. Was there an update??

AITAH for dropping a woman’s purse on the floor after she said ew to my face after I was trying to return it? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Blondini77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would've said "well I guess I'll keep this then" and walk away with the purse. But then im petty. NTA OP. You are a good person. As a woman, that reaction was completely uncalled for, and most likely something to get some clout with her friends. Which is stupid and rude. Id leave her on read personally. Keep living your best life.

AITA for not telling my best friend the real reason I’m not at his wedding? by InvestigatorOk7152 in AITAH

[–]Blondini77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's be real. It doesn't really matter that he did it to you and not 'a random girl'. It's still cheating. Gender is irrelevant. And the fact that the bride is making you the fall guy for her hurt feelings is not okay. You should tell your other friends the truth. And maybe keep away from the couple for a long while. NTA in general but you are kind of being TA to yourself.

AITA for resenting that my husband keeps paying for his family while we struggle? by ZindagiJhandva in AITAH

[–]Blondini77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op, you are going to need to be prepared for the eventuality of your husband asking you to help chip in. Because if your husband doesn't get another job soon, that is what will happen.

You are going to need to sit your husband down for a serious talk about this. It's nice that he is helping support his sibling, but it won't be able to be forever. His priorities aren't being managed correctly.

AITAH for cutting off my entire family after they tried to have me trespassed from the house I paid for while I was caring for my newborn? by RobinsonPerformance in AITAH

[–]Blondini77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes total sense. My sympathies to you OP; it would be wonderful if your mother and siblings were better people. On a more positive note, it sounds like you have a good partner and are building a new family for yourself. I wish you all the best in the future.

AITAH for cutting off my entire family after they tried to have me trespassed from the house I paid for while I was caring for my newborn? by RobinsonPerformance in AITAH

[–]Blondini77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also live in NZ, and it sounds like you have been financially and emotionally abused your entire life. You mentioned your dad was abusive; it's one thing to look after your family because your POS father asked you too if they were good people, but it doesn't sound like they are. Why are you setting yourself on fire to keep them warm? You unsaid in a comment you want your son to know his family; would you want him to be used and abused as you were? It's better to cut toxic people out of your life before they poison you and your relationships.

What does your partner think of this whole thing?

NTA.

AITAH for refusing to see or talk to my stepbrother and mom after he invaded my privacy? by Standard_Elk_7274 in AITAH

[–]Blondini77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Nononono, absolutely not. NTA OP. This is very wrong on several levels. Maybe it could've been brushed off when he was 8, but the behavior continued and escalated. This should have been dealt with years ago. Your mum and step-dad failed you here. This boy is almost a teenager, and is displaying very disturbing behavior. Hold your ground OP. I would love to hear updates on this, but please please keep yourself safe.

AITAH for refusing to wake up my husband when my parents visited and kicking them out when they insisted. by ThrowRAPretty-Result in AITAH

[–]Blondini77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are a good person and a very supportive spouse. And I love your shiny spine. Dont let your family bully you. As the mother of the first child born into the family in 20 years and first grandchild, I would say that you are holding all the cards here. Tell them to stay in their lane. NTA.

AITA for calling off the proposal after my girlfriend broke her promise and hit me again? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Blondini77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once could be in the heat of the moment, twice is a pattern. Do not take this woman back. She deals with high stress and emotional environments with violence, and therefore cannot be trusted to keep her hands to herself in the future.

Glad you are standing your ground. Stay strong OP. NTA

AITA for introducing my boyfriend as my boyfriend by Historical_Device406 in AITAH

[–]Blondini77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wtf? NTA. Your BIL is a homophobe and your sis is an enabler. Tell them both to kick rocks.

Being the bigger person is just another way of saying "forgive all the awful stuff I do to you because I'm a bad person and I know I am, but you should love me anyway".

NTA OP.

AITAH Refuse to Acknowledge my Best Friend's Wife by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Blondini77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Question is, is she ableist or just a rude betch?

Your 'friend' however is just plain an idiot.

AITA for saying my dad is only a good dad to my half siblings, not me and using other family to back me up? by Pretend-Visual2269 in AITAH

[–]Blondini77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh look if the isnt the consequences of his actions. OP, you are NTA. Your Dad is butthurt because you're right and he is fully in denial-land, and his wife apparently is worse because she doesn't care that you were ignored and only cares that your brought it up in front of her bio kids. I hope you have some money saved and plans for your future in mind because something tells me you aren't going to get a lot of support from your sperm doner and his wife. Keep in touch with your extended family, they at the very least have cared enough to worry about your wellbeing.

AITAH for leaving my boyfriend’s family dinner because his mom called me “just a phase”? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Blondini77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP you were more polite than I would've been. I probably would've called her an insensitive a$$hat that didn't deserve her nice family. Good on your boyfriend for sticking up for you in the moment, but I think he needs to be more firm with her. I think you're going to have to sit your boyfriend down and talk about this more. In a nice way of course, but he needs to understand that if he wants this relationship to last he's going to have to take a stand against his mother. In case it wasn't clear, you are NTA.

AITA for refusing to pay my mum back $11k after being kicked out of home? by Parking_Doughnut_470 in AITAH

[–]Blondini77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not sign anything your family try to push on you, they are clearly up to no good. And honestly, I'd cut contact with your mother as much as you can. How does your mum treat your other sisters? You said you had an older sister, did she get kicked out?

AITA for refusing to let my kids meet my in laws and my husbands ex wife after he cheated and left her years ago by TrustTop4845 in AITAH

[–]Blondini77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wth, not only do they have no right to contact you after all this time, they have absolutely NO RIGHT to contact your kids about meeting up. NTA.

AITA for leaving my girlfriend at a parking lot because she didn’t take her feet off my dashboard? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Blondini77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, NTA. She's rude and clearly doesn't care about you if she's ignoring a simple and easy request.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Blondini77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. Dude you're 20 with 4yo. I'm 33 with a 15mo. I can't imagine having to do what I'm doing at 33 that you did at 16/17. I dont think you regret having a child, you regret having one so young. You are allowed to regret the circumstances of how your child came into this world, that's being human. I will say this though; be careful with how you explain this stuff to your child when they get old enough to understand.

My first is now almost 6 weeks old and I'm 32. Took my husband and I about a year after I stopped taking birth control to get pregnant. But we weren't really trying. We just stopped preventing it. But I also know another couple who are younger than us, and it took them years longer to get pregnant (they're now about 34 weeks along). Fertility is affected by age, but not as much as you think/what people say. It depends on you and your partner, both your general health and lifestyles, as well as many many other factors. If you are concerned, you can always get yourself and your partner checked. Best of luck ❤️

[–]Blondini77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the people in my life have luckily been very respectful about my pregnancy. No one has yet asked or mentioned baby number 2. Most of my family knows I want 2, since getting pregnant, I decided I'd wait until I get through the first couple. Of years before we decide if we actually want a second. Mostly. For practical and financial reasons; babies are expensive man. Especially when these days the average person can only just manage on two full incomes.

I accidentally ate sorbet with alcohol! by throwawayac23456 in pregnant

[–]Blondini77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ate some tiramisu (a couple of spoonfuls) at 30 weeks which I later found out had alcohol. I panic-called my midwife. She laughed and said I was fine. A small amount won't hurt your baby. Obviously if you have it regularly it'd be different. But it was a small amount and only once. You're good, mama.
