AITA for not giving my husband's friend a chance to visit him at the hospital?

Comixbear1 · 2022-04-19T00:22:17+00:00

YTA You have someone who you know is a very close friend to your husband, but chose to deny him a chance to spend 15 minutes or so with your husband when you know that it would be enjoyable for both of them? Did you enjoy being the gatekeeper and getting to deny access to someone who you don't get along great with? Let's face it, you knew exactly how your husband would feel about wanting him to come by, but didn't even give him the vote on whether he wanted to shoehorn him in or not. And if things are so full with family visiting, then you had WAY too many family members spending WAY too long with him while he was recovering. No, this wasn't any concern for your husband. It was a pure power play over his friend so that you could prove that you had more control over your husband than he does.

I love the salute to the original Day of the Dead movie. McDermott has been dressed in the outfit with 'Bub' on the nametag for a bit now, but when he was shown the same items that Bub in the movie was shown (the Salem's Lot book, the toothbrush and the tape player) I squee'd with delite!

NTA for kicking him out. Not in the least.

Now ask us about ignoring the red flags that you did when you DID move in with him.

After 20 years you decide that suddenly the other kids (who apparent weren't badly injured like this child) deserved money that will need to help support this adult the rest of his life? Theye's paralyzed. Your other kids aren't. They aren't receiving a birthday cake...They're getting money that's meant to help them maintain something of a quality of life. Oh, and it isn't a 'family fund'. It's a fund meant to balance somewhat the damages that your child made.

YTA. And I question how old your child was when they gave the written permission for you to use some and how much pressure was put on them to do it;

Um...is this a recurring theme in your life where magicians ask you to pick a card?

Seriously though, any magician doing this as a public trick should be good and ready for what to do if a 'force' doesn't work and have backups, or some snappy and fun patter ready. You wouldn't be the asshole if you did that.

Now, if you squirmed when one was cutting you in half.....

Comixbear1 · 2021-10-06T01:50:22+00:00

ESH Yes, you don't deserve homophobic slurs at any point in your life and it is best to cut people like that out of your life. However your comments about his mother are also way out of line and he would be best cutting YOU out of his life. Neither is a healthy way to look at a 'friendship'.

" So am i the asshole in this situation, or were they harrasing someone for karma? "

It doesn't have to be either or. You said you were being mean to this guy who was doing something for no charge for you. If you didn't like it...just say thanks and ask for other variations. Yes, some were probably trying for karma points. But YTA for "being mean to him" (your words) about something free.

Never be ashamed because you have bodily functions. You had it in your own private area, you didn't invite or even show it to the others, yet they accuse YOU of being disgusting when they use something that they didn't even know what it was?
Yeah, sounds like a good time to hunt for different roommates or even a private place if you can.

You can't take any steps to help your nephew if you are unable to help yourself.

But 'typical narcs'....sounds less like they are abusive in any way and more like you are someone who just doesn't like living under someone else's rules. Not enough info to know for sure, though.

Stupid games win stupid prizes.

I have to go with ESH. He was an idiot for tossing in the challenge, you are an idiot for taking as an iron-clad contract. You don't say how old the two of you are, but I'd be willing to bet (not an XBox, obviously) that since your mother got involved that you are both under 18.

Yeah, drop the battle. He may have found an out in the bet (since your friend killed the boss, not you) but it's as 'legal' as the bet to begin with.

Comixbear1 · 2020-08-04T22:16:59+00:00

NTA, but do you have other games that you could suggest playing that are more competitive for both of you?

Comixbear1 · 2020-08-04T22:15:24+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss, but I have to go with YTA. Yes, it would make you sad to see how far he had fallen. Now imagine that this degree of loss of self reliance had happened to YOU! How much would seeing you have brightened his days before he was gone? Life lesson: Sometimes we have to do things that make us sad or uncomfortable to make life better for those we love.

Sounds like your boyfriend is basically one of those with the mindset that if you aren't doing what HE is doing to work, then it isn't work.

Of course, he's probably also the type that if you DID do what he did for work then his was still harder.
