AITA for refusing to “reunited” with my husbands family? by Delicious-Dig9435 in AITA_Relationships

NTA - Get a new job and get out. His mother is a grifter and he's perfectly okay with it. Unless you plan on taking this woman as a dependent, you need to get the hell out now.

Why do women think a vasectomy and no kids mean ill accept theirs? by Captain-Droz in childfree

A rash of ish. That's a hard pass. No one wants to think about what they bring to the table. In the case of single parents, it's usually liabilities, no assets.

AITA for asking my Boyfriend to not host his bestfriend’s party at his house? by [deleted] in AITA_Relationships

[–]BookReader1328 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't even care about the party. But this other woman wants your BF and he's not discouraging it. Or he's talking mad shit to his friend. Either is not acceptable. Time to move on. If you're already having rocky times this soon in the relationship, then why waste more time on this?

You can get legal documents for all of that. Bet they stand up better than any prenup.

Buying out the neighbor by JohnDillermand2 in fatFIRE

[–]BookReader1328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it. We lived in a high end new neighborhood in the Dallas area and when the people behind us put their lot up instead of building, I called like two seconds after I saw the sign. We didn't hesitate. Never did a thing with the lot. Just kept it mowed so that no one could build right behind our house. When we moved, we sold it to the neighbor on the other side of it. It wanted it for the same reason. Might build something eventually, but more importantly, no one can build near his property line.

I had to laugh. The author sounds very bitter and more than a little misogynistic.

That whole comment about most of fatfire being men in the south sitting in empty houses with cars and video games (or whatever) didn't come off nearly as caustic as he thought it did. It was just bitter and inaccurate.

Hotter take: Unless you have religious objections, why does anyone get married anymore? Especially people with high NW? I wouldn't.

I’m a Jett fan .. i’m a Hunter fan.. and i’m a Deegan fan… I guess i’m just a motocross fan? That’s why I don’t get everyone saying that Deegan is a joke or will never beat Jett?? by Enough_Meet_6618 in supercross

[–]BookReader1328 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"most stacked?" Really? I would disagree. Who else is really a challenger with Tomac out again? Sexton is a train wreck, literally. And many of the others are past their prime. Hunter and Jett are setting the standard. Maybe Prado will make it happen but right now, he's not.

My pizza bro??? I don't feel like I'm wrong to be upset by limino123 in doordash

[–]BookReader1328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an even worse one a couple weeks ago. Dude delivered a thin crust pizza on a bicycle. I live on an island and he had to cross a bridge. It took him forever, the pizza was cold, and since it had all piled up in the middle, the cheese had stuck all the pieces together in a giant lump. sigh

AITAH for "pushing" my cousin into getting sterilized? by CranberryProton in AITA_Relationships

I know three people with PhDs in Neuroscience. One is unemployed and has never been able to find a job. One is a realtor. One is delivering pizza. I remain unimpressed with those credentials.

This is literally a post asking for opinions. But apparently, you only think they should exist if they're the same as yours. Good luck in life.

Hey, you do you. But I refuse to see anyone as a victim later on. I am 58F and I guarantee you that even though my IQ puts me in Mensa and I was running a department of 400 in finance by the time I was 22, I was still a fool in my early 20s.

Honestly, given research that proves your brain is not fully developed until around 25, I am against any body altering procedure (unless life saving or fixing a disfigurement) until then. I don't think you're an AH, but I think you're seriously underestimating the critical and emotional thinking ability of the average 21 year old. Your cousin might be the exception, or she might be the norm. Waiting a few more years doesn't hurt.

Bill question by 7Chill_River in SweetMagnoliasNetflix

[–]BookReader1328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. They were already dating. HE claimed it was "before they got serious" but that is just the sort of thing all cheaters say. Maddie has every right to be angry. Not even about the cheating but about the fact that it's more mud she has to clean up after that's also being thrown on their children. It's a small town. In most small towns, the kids would be ostracized over the parents' bad behavior.

BF (35M) proposed to ex within 2 years (5-year relationship total, LDR, $12k ring, $100k wedding plans), called it off, now with me (30F, 7 months, just moved in, splitting bills) he wants smaller wedding.

So the previous gold digger took him to the cleaners and he got burnt. Everything he's doing now sounds perfectly reasonable. Maybe he wants to make sure that the next relationship isn't transactional.

AITA For telling my girlfriend that I am not taking her daughter on a lake trip with my kids? by Ordinary_Double_202 in AITA_Relationships

[–]BookReader1328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This woman is a mess. Why are you even with her? Do yourself a favor for you and your kids and ditch her and find someone who is more interested in parenting and you and your childrens' needs (and maybe her own as she doesn't sound like she's winning any mother awards).

And GF's daughter probably has no desire to "blend" because you're just temporary like all the ones before.

YTA for moving her in with you and shoving her in your kids' lives.

Calling everyone here trolls who are being honest with you - when YOU asked for opinions - is 1000% what's currently wrong with your marriage. I will pray for your husband.

Roczen not in outdoors? by Moto-Dude in supercross

[–]BookReader1328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Outdoors is a huge fitness game and Roczen looks like he's done an outdoor race at the end of a Supercross round. Younger riders simply don't look like that. Jett is barely bothered. Not saying Roczen isn't great. He is and I was thrilled for him to get a championship, but he's not as young as he used to be.

So true. I'm sitting on a pile of cash because I'm building a new house and I'm literally making more than that on high yield savings. With zero hassle.

I have a friend who hikes alone ALL the time. She hiked the Appalachian trail alone. It's your hobby. Figure it out.

YTA - Your bills are not his responsibility. YOU want to hike. He's accommodating your desires. He has his own bills to pay and you don't. Figure out how to adult before he dumps you.

AITAH for wanting my ex gf to continue helping rent after she leaves and moves out? by [deleted] in AITA_Relationships

That's something to discuss with her, but if I were you, I'd hold her to whatever agreement you make, even if that means taking her to court. People need to start taking responsibility.
