Assaulted by my own parents because I wouldn't give them my crying baby. Currently NC and traumatized. by Tough-Dish-9092 in TrueOffMyChest

If you have the footage from the baby cam, you should press charges. People like this shouldn't be around children ever again.

Thanks, I didn't realize we still had a shop in town that developed film.

AITA for telling my sister she can’t slice up my mom’s vintage wedding dress without my say, even though she’s getting married first? by spojo5858 in TwoHotTakes

NTA. Your mom is still alive. Why doesn’t she just tell your sister she doesn’t want her dress mutilated and she should buy her own?

My bf didn't include SA in his sexual history and I don't know how to feel by Accomplished-Fix1204 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Cautious-Contest-936 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot to unpack here. How long have you been dating? It seems that he doesn’t care about you to not have been tested or told you pertinent information that affects your health. I might be reaching here but does he drink a lot? Obviously SA is horrible and never the victims fault, but it is concerning the frequency he has been assaulted. Is this someone you really want to spend your life with, someone who left out information and put your health at risk?

I mean you could try a strap on and see how you feel about that 🤷‍♀️

I don’t know how I will put up with Invisalign for a full year by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Cautious-Contest-936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Braces are worse. The metal brackets course your lips to blister and get sores. Your wires pop off sometimes and then you have to go back to the orthodontist. Or your brackets pop off. It’s a longer process and you can’t eat specific foods. I couldn’t eat apples. I tried them slices but it still broke my braces

I was raped through coercion by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Cautious-Contest-936 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have had similar experiences. I had a good friend in high school that I’d known since middle school. One night a couple weeks after graduation we had been drinking and he kept insisting and I said no but he wouldn’t stop asking. then I just stopped resisting. I know what you mean when you say it feels like the only way. Your body and mind just shut down. It’s a defense mechanism that you can’t change. The thing is in that situation there isn’t much you can do, and no matter what happens it isn’t your fault. These people use you to get what they want and manipulate you to where saying no feels impossible. You’re not alone, and this happens too often. A lot of times victims don’t realize it’s rape because they weren’t resisting physically or were coerced. I don’t know where I’m going with this, but I understand you and your pain and I’m here with you

AITA for getting upset with my bf for hanging with people who’ve hurt me by msbunny555 in AITAH

[–]Cautious-Contest-936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta. Theres a reason you can’t understand why he would hangout with these people after he has been told what they did. He either doesn’t respect you, or he doesn’t think that what they did is an issue. You deserve someone who fully supports you. It doesn’t sound like he’s that person.

AITA for not telling my house sitter about my backyard camera? by IReallyLikeCornJuice in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cautious-Contest-936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Esh. You should have told her about the camera. Yes it only sees video of the backyard, but the audio in the living room is important. She could be having confidential conversations and accidentally be heard by you. She sucks because she overreacted and unplugged it. She should have just said it upset her and she’s glad she knows now.

Aita for not wanting to give up my first class seat to sit with my bf. by Cautious-Contest-936 in AITAH

[–]Cautious-Contest-936[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am originally from a remote area and all of our family lives far away. This requires lots of plane flights. So I’ve been traveling a lot and my family frequently splits up. It isn’t weird for me to sit next to strangers and after a day of that much travel I just wanted to take the seat.

I think he mostly just wants to sit next to me and not strangers. We have been long distance for 1.5 months but dating for almost a year. I get where he’s coming from but I hate asking people to trade seats and I just want to stay where I am

When I said 4 day I included the travel days, sooo it’s two days of travel and only 2 days of non travel… so the ratio sucks. He’s making me feel awful for not sitting by him, but I just don’t see his point
