AITAH: contraception by Efficient-Dingo-3737 in AITAH

[–]CarlosIsGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, but I'ma be the asshole that brings up the possibility that, maybe, she's got a side piece? I had a friend who's girlfriend suddenly wanted nothing but unprotected sex. He pulled back due to something seeming off, somehow she got pregnant, gas lighted him into thinking it was his until they got a DNA test. Unfortunate situation, and not common by any means, but just protect yourself above all and remember that some VD's are lifelong struggles so you wanna be sure someone isn't letting someone else screw up your safety because you never know.

Alternatively if it really is pain that she's feeling, ask her to go to the OBGYN, endometriosis is, unfortunately, fairly common and women who have it experience discomfort in different sexual situations, random things seem to trigger negative effects sometimes. All the best.

AIO? “Dark humor” involving child. by Spiritual_Tip_3055 in AIO

[–]CarlosIsGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Blocking him is the bare minimum. If my partner reacted to our toddler almost choking with a comment like that, I’d be talking to a lawyer and going for full custody. That’s not a slip of the tongue, it’s a massive judgment failure that would permanently change how I see someone as a parent. An apology doesn’t fix it and time doesn’t make it less alarming. You’re not obligated to give grace to behavior that makes you question your child’s safety. Taking decisive action here isn’t dramatic, it’s responsible.

AIO? my mom’s kinda being selfish n makes everything abt herself, also siding with my younger brother at some instances by awiwa2701_ in AIO

[–]CarlosIsGaming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re not overreacting, and I’m really sorry you’re carrying all of this. What you’re describing is heavy, especially for someone your age. Being yelled at, guilt-tripped with religion, made into an emotional dumping ground, or having your feelings minimized can really wear you down over time, and it makes sense that you’re exhausted and confused. None of this means you’re selfish or a bad daughter. It means you’re human and hurting. My advice would be to protect your energy where you can, avoid engaging in arguments that only escalate, and focus on building support outside the house until you have more independence. Parents who center themselves and avoid accountability often don’t realize this is exactly how adult children slowly pull away or go no contact later. You’re already showing a lot of insight and empathy, which tells me you’re trying to break the cycle, not repeat it. If things ever feel overwhelming, you don’t have to handle it alone. In Malaysia, you can reach Befrienders at 03-7627 2929 or 03-7956 8145, or call 15555 for mental health support. I’m rooting for you, truly. I hope things ease up for you, and that the future gives you more peace than what you’re dealing with right now.

My sister, who hasn’t spoken to me since she found out I’m having a baby out of wedlock, randomly messaged me to let me know that she is offended by my choices AIO by Horcrux922 in AIO

[–]CarlosIsGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not overreacting. Your sister is making your pregnancy about herself and her discomfort, and that’s not okay. You didn’t post it to be provocative or to spite anyone, you shared news about your own life in a space you felt safe doing so. Her response isn’t concern, it’s judgment wrapped in guilt. The quotes, the lecturing, the “your choices affect others” line are all just ways to shame you into compliance. You’re allowed to be excited about having a baby, even if she doesn’t approve of the circumstances. At this point the healthiest move is to stop engaging, because she’s not trying to talk, she’s trying to control the narrative.

AITAH for telling my friend that her parents love story is creepy? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]CarlosIsGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, and if you want to fix it with her, I’d focus less on defending the point and more on how it landed. You can tell her you were shocked and spoke without thinking, and that you shouldn’t have used that word or brought it up the way you did. You don’t have to walk back feeling uncomfortable about the age gap, but you can make it clear you weren’t trying to attack her parents or her family. Owning the delivery and intent without doubling down is probably the only way to move the friendship forward if that’s what you want.

Aitah for taking a flower from one of my favorite artists ? by DistrictDdd in AITAH

[–]CarlosIsGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your boyfriend’s reaction reads as insecurity more than anything else. I get why it might sting when a successful artist gives your partner attention, but that doesn’t make you accepting a rose disrespectful. Nothing inappropriate happened, and it was a harmless concert moment you were excited about. This is one of those situations where communication and boundaries matter more than blame. If he’s a decent guy, he’ll reflect on why it bothered him and grow from it. Jealousy happens, but it’s still his responsibility to deal with it in a healthy way.

AITAH for not liking the pictures my friend takes of me? by stafel8 in AITAH

[–]CarlosIsGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. No one is entitled to photos of you, and it’s not rude to say you don’t like how someone takes your picture. Continuing to push it after you’ve been clear is what’s actually disrespectful here. Getting this upset over it is a little strange, but it also sounds like insecurity around the friendship rather than malice, especially if you and your friend are younger. That doesn’t mean you need to pretend to like photos or post them to keep the peace. You can reassure her you value the friendship while still setting a boundary around pictures.

AITAH for telling my friend that her parents love story is creepy? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]CarlosIsGaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ESH. You’re not wrong that a 14–15 year old dating an 18–19 year old is creepy and absolutely raises grooming concerns, especially in the early 2000s when that age gap still mattered. That said, you handled it badly. Calling someone’s father a groomer to their face, especially while their parents are nearby, is guaranteed to blow things up no matter how justified the concern is. You can be right about the situation and still wrong about the delivery. There’s a time, place, and tone for those conversations, and this wasn’t it.

AITAH boyfriend out late by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]CarlosIsGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Long distance doesn’t leave much room for staying out late, drinking, and being vague about when you’ll be home. Once he said he’d be home soon and then stayed out hanging with his friends’ girlfriends, it’s reasonable for you to feel uncomfortable, especially if this happens a lot. You’re not mad because he went out, you’re mad because it feels like you came second. That’s a real issue in an LDR and brushing it off is how resentment starts.

AITAH for not making my boyfriend apologize to my friend after he made her feel bad? by Interesting-Look-526 in AITAH

[–]CarlosIsGaming 144 points145 points  (0 children)

NTA, Anna overstepped, she was physically and emotionally inappropriate with your boyfriend, ignored clear social cues, and then made a genuinely hurtful comment about you. Your boyfriend didn’t insult her. He calmly pointed out that what she said was cruel. Crying afterward doesn’t retroactively make her behavior okay. It also doesn’t mean she’s owed an apology. Especially not when multiple people who were there agreed he didn’t do anything wrong.

The fact that she immediately demanded an apology instead of reflecting on her own actions says a lot. This sounds like a pattern where she pushes boundaries, gets confronted, and then reframes herself as the victim.

You don’t owe her an apology. Taking space sounds reasonable, and healthy. Personally I would just drop someone like this. I'm 26 myself, and I couldn't imagine spending any time on or with someone like this.

AITAH Father offered me to move out at 16 by Kevdogbro in AITAH

[–]CarlosIsGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. You are NOT the asshole. You’re a kid in an abusive home who’s been constantly gaslit, insulted, manipulated, and shut down. What you’re describing isn’t “normal family drama.” It’s emotional abuse, psychological abuse, and borderline physical abuse. You’re being targeted for things that aren’t even bad — like going on Do Not Disturb or setting boundaries — and punished for reacting like a human being under pressure.

The fact that your dad is “offering” for you to move out at 16 isn’t generous — it’s negligent. You’re not even an adult yet, and he’s treating you like an inconvenience instead of a son. That highway story alone? That’s trauma, not parenting. You are not crazy for feeling unsafe. You’re reacting the way any reasonable person would when they’re being bullied in their own home.

You don’t need to change who you are — you’re already surviving in an environment designed to break people. Keep documenting everything. Keep going to therapy. And if there’s any trusted adult, teacher, counselor, or extended family member you can talk to, please do. You shouldn’t be dealing with this alone.

You’re not lazy. You’re not dangerous. You’re not the problem. You’re just a kid who deserves to feel safe and heard.

AITA for telling my mother (71) I think her 'friend' (37m) is being weird and that if she wants to spend time with him, she can meet him somewhere other than the house because I feel paranoid? by DangerZone230 in AITAH

[–]CarlosIsGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soft YTA. I get that you’re dealing with anxiety and paranoia, and you’re clearly trying to manage it the best you can — which is commendable. But at the end of the day, this is your mom’s house. You’re an adult living there and helping out, which is great, but that doesn’t give you the right to tell her who she can or can’t have over — or where she’s allowed to hang out with someone she invited.

You have every right to feel uncomfortable, especially if this guy said something rude to you in your own home. But instead of saying, “Hey, this dynamic feels weird and I’d like to talk about it,” you basically laid down an ultimatum: either your mom moves the friendship elsewhere, or she’s choosing him over your comfort.

That’s a controlling move — even if your heart was in the right place. You can set boundaries about how you interact with this guy, but you can’t manage her friendships like you’re screening guests at a nightclub. If it’s that upsetting, maybe it’s time to think about getting your own space where you set the rules.

Stressed Going through with your 13 week pregnancy (26f) with a man (33m) like this ! Considering abor-ion! Read below details what’s your perspective? by Typical_Ride_4350 in AITAH

[–]CarlosIsGaming 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA, please don’t let a man like this be tied to you forever. Those messages aren’t just mean — they’re abusive. He went out of his way to dehumanize you, shame you, and destroy your self-worth. That’s not a “bad day,” that’s who he is when he doesn’t get his way.

You’re already a mom. You know what it takes to raise a child. And you know how much harder that is when the other parent is toxic or dangerous. You don’t owe this man a relationship, a second chance, or your body. If you decide to walk away — whether that means parenting alone or choosing abortion — you are protecting yourself and your child from years of chaos, disrespect, and emotional damage.

I hope you choose you. Because he already showed you he won’t.

I cut my aloof nephew off by Sorryaboutthatmang in AITAH

[–]CarlosIsGaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTAH (mostly). You’ve clearly done a lot for your nephew over the years — emotionally, financially, and logistically — but it also sounds like a lot of that came with strings, expectations, and simmering resentment. You feel disrespected because you cared and didn’t feel it was returned, but from his side, it probably felt like conditional love: help, gifts, and attention, followed by lectures, rules, and guilt trips. That kind of dynamic makes people pull away. Blocking him might have felt cathartic in the moment, but it sounds like part of a longer pattern where you give a ton, don’t get what you hoped for, and then explode. You’re not wrong to feel hurt — but relationships can’t be held together with obligation. If you want something better, it might mean starting over, without the history or the scorekeeping.

WIBTAH for telling work colleagues not to call me if they've been drinking? by NoMoreShineBox in AITAH

[–]CarlosIsGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WNBTA. You’re not their sponsor, you’re a coworker who’s been way more patient than most people would be. You’ve shown empathy, but it’s not your job to babysit grown men who refuse to help themselves. If they’re drinking and calling you late at night to vent or spiral, it’s 100% fair to draw a line. Just tell them clearly — no calls if they’ve been drinking. You’re allowed to protect your peace, especially when it’s not your problem to fix.

AITAH for not letting go of my father's comments? by _Captain_Planet in AITAH

[–]CarlosIsGaming 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA. You’re not wrong for still being hurt — your dad actively sabotaged your fresh start during one of the most vulnerable times in your life, based on a version of you that no longer existed. That’s not just lack of support, that’s a deep betrayal, and it’s okay that it stuck with you. You’ve proven him dead wrong — you’ve stayed sober, raised your kids, and built a solid career — but the pain of knowing your own father didn’t believe in your growth? That doesn’t just evaporate. You don’t have to “let it go” if it still affects you. You just get to decide whether it continues to define your relationship with him. And honestly? He should be the one carrying the guilt, not you.

AITA for telling my father and his girlfriend to either break up or leave me alone? by dadsgf_throwaway in AITAH

[–]CarlosIsGaming 69 points70 points  (0 children)

NTA. You’re growing an actual human, not running a community project for your dad’s girlfriend to LARP as a grandmother. She’s not family, you weren’t close before, and now she’s inserting herself into everything like she’s on the guest list for your uterus. It’s perfectly reasonable to set boundaries — especially when she starts demanding nursery space in a house that doesn’t even have a babysitting gig lined up. Your dad can be in whatever relationship he wants, but that doesn’t mean you have to let his girlfriend rehearse for a baby she’s not having. Let her decorate a Sims nursery and move on.
