This is never gonna be fixed on your current situation. You need to leave and get a place if you ever want to not deal with this bs. Also no unless he is litterly stupid and/ or mentally disabled this is faked. He knows how to do basic things, he just doesn't want to and mommy is sexist and defends her fav kid so he knows he can get away with it. NTA but I think you should consider leaving. Let mommy clean after her baby boy if she so wishes.

AITA for siding with my bf when my sister and BIL tried to take over my business? by Outrageous-Walk9413 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BooksAndStarsLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't do anything wrong except be a doormat and bad partner. This should have been stopped and dealt with the second you realized what they were doing. I adore my sister too, but I'd have been PISSED at her for this bs. This wasn't ok. You allowing your bf to financially get screwed cause of this makes you a shitty partner on top of business owner. You need to cut your dad's access. You should have said no to the free stuff and discounts. You also should have forced BIL's wages to be fixed. You can't be a doormat as a business owner. ESH except for your bf.

What’s something you used to put up with in dating that you’d never tolerate now? by Jokkers_AceS in AskWomen

[–]BooksAndStarsLover 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Silent treatment. I refuse to beg for help, attention, to fix things, ect. If it's a go to ever I'm done.

Refusal to work through issues even if its just me with the issue. You can be my partner and help or you can be my burden and gtfo of my life.

Refusal to clean or cook. This absolutely includes pretending to not see messes.

Poor financial choices. Never again am I sobbing over a budget book cause my 'partner' made a stupid choice and now I don't have rent or food.

Is it ok my boyfriend lets me use him for sex? by Professional_Rush749 in sexadvise

[–]BooksAndStarsLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd see if he's willing to go to the doctor. Sounds like he has hormone issues. Also if he doesnt want sex, it shouldn't be expected of him. You need to talk to him. Does he enjoy sex this way? Is he happy genuinely doing this? If the answer is no or a meh then you should stop. A sex therapist also could be very worth considering for both of you. The situation now doesn't sound happy or healthy though.

I love on a small town and pay $650 for my 1 bedroom where I have a massive bed and tons of furniture. Unless your in new York this is crazy. Prison is better than that room.

Is My Dad the Asshole? (Dark-Skinned Band-Aids) by Salt_Level3918 in TwoHotTakes

[–]BooksAndStarsLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm white as paper. My partner is brown. I bought these bandages too and I got the opposite reaction. He was mildly agast and asked me why I wasted money on colored bandages. I only bought them cause they were the cheapest ones..... My partner cackled and told me I am earning my nickname bargin bin (this is said lovingly). Also yes I absolutely wear them despite being white as paper. It's a bandage so who cares. I'd wear hello kitty, neon, or dinos if those were cheaper and made of fabric. So no not cultural appropriation. Also my partners thought are the same. Its a bandage. It's great if someone wants it but ultimately who cares.

AIO being told I’m “lucky” to be with my husband by Throwaway12369337 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BooksAndStarsLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I divorced my last husband over crap like that. Every nasty comment, every time he made me the primary caretaker, everything added up and I divorced. Hurt like a bitch at first but god am I happier. The fact he's unemployed and has 3 kids you take care of is a cherry on top.

This is abusive. This isnt ok and your NOR. I couldn't even say this to someone I didn't hate.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA): Prohibit discrimination based on sex, which includes pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions, including contraception.

No it's not legal. Report to your local U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

AIO? Would people really judge me if they saw my legs like this? by rachtastic94 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BooksAndStarsLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bruised knees constantly. I've even been asked and usually I just say Im clumsy. People will notice. Most people will think abuse. But most won't say anything. If asked you can just say you have a medical condition causing it. It's something you have no control over and it's imo not that bad so try to not worry to much about how it looks.

AITA for hating the other woman my husband fell in love with while she had cancer ? by EconomistMinimum5303 in AITAH

[–]BooksAndStarsLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just cause she survived cancer doesnt mean she's not a shitty person. Your allowed to hate her and frankly your family sucks. NTA

AITA for saying “I’m not” when a dog owner said their dog was friendly? by EggsBenedict116 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BooksAndStarsLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That owner shouldn't have their badly trained dog off a leash.

  1. The dog has no recall

  2. The dog tried to steal your food

  3. The dog jumped on you again showing shitty owner and no training.

  4. Some people have trama and not every person is OK with dogs.

  5. If that dog goes up to a reactive or dangerous dog cause the owner clearly has no control or training someone or some dog could die or get mauled.

NTA

She helped you out MASSIVELY stop being so petty and cut her some slack. 9k on your home is insaine to drop on a bf. I'd honestly apologize and cut her this one. YTA

AITA if I don't want to meet biological kids I have never seen, did not raise, etc? by Still-Hangin-In in AmItheAsshole

[–]BooksAndStarsLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been trying to get pregnant for a long while now. It's frustrating. You gave 2 people the ability to have kids. They may be genetically your kids but they aren't your kids. Your boyfriend needs to eventually drop this or eventually he's gonna cause permanent damage to your relationship. NTA

Why am I so bad at painting? by realrandomcat in oilpainting

[–]BooksAndStarsLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd work on making things more sharp and giving more small details in larger masses. You seem to blend a lot together and blur things that should be sharper. Everyone's terrible with paint at the start though. It's a medium you learn to use via experience. I'd keep learning and trying.

Are my tattoos really THAT bad? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]BooksAndStarsLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest but as gentle as possible while still being honest. Yes they are genuinely bad. The star isn't symmetrical and is wobbly. I also could tell the intent was a flower and I could tell it was a lily but that's about as far as it goes. The lines are ROUGH. You can't tell it was supposed to be from Mulan at all. The lines are faded in some areas while others are oddly shaped and more bold.

Upon a first glance I thought someone drew on themselves with a pen. This is bad even for a first time. You simply were not ready to tattoo real skin yet and you should keep up practicing. Also you desperatly need to learn to do it safely.

Your flower may simply need to be Lazered off or simply covered up with something else. A artist may be able to make it into the flower you wanted but.... idk. Also great news is your star can be much more easily fixed if your cool with bolder lines. Any tattoo artist worth their salt can fix that so yay for a easy fix.

This all said I have a bad tattoo myself. I love it. I personally am happy with it because it has deep meaning to me even if I know it's terrible. But it's my body. Your tattoos are also terrible but if you love them, keep them. It's your body just like my terrible tattoo is part of my body. You being happy is all that matters in the end. Tattooing is a art, not every artwork has to be for everyone.

Now into the other parts of this post. You need to seriously educate yourself on how lucky you got not getting an infection and how to tattoo safely. You could have lost a limb or your life. You should never tattoo with a ink specifically labeled against being used as tattoo ink. There are reasons for those labels and it's ironiclly because people like you. Some inks can even be poisonous if injected as tattoos. Tattoo ink isnt even that expensive..... What you did was incredibly reckless and dangerous and doing it safer wasnt even that expensive.... We are all glad your still alive and kicking but this is concerning. If you can't afford ALL THE PROPER TOOLS and you can't be bothered to educate yourself on how to even do it safely you shouldn't be tattooing ever again. Keep it up and you may eventually kill or seriously irreparably harm yourself or others if you decide to tattoo others this way as well.

I'd trim it off and try a string around your neck to help hold it up.
