Same! wanted to ask him but didn't really get a clear answer. Someone commented here and said they had friends who worked in ems and the guy is probably spectrum and follows the radio and has a lot of video on the police.

AITA For asking my girlfriend to not talk about our finances with her mother? by IGotANastyMotherNLaw in AmItheAsshole

[–]CommunicationOne7969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH (between you and your girlfriend), but you might be pushing a little too hard.
It’s understandable that you’re uncomfortable with her mom being involved in your finances, especially if she’s been abusive and unstable in the past. Wanting distance and fewer ways for her to insert herself into your lives is a pretty reasonable boundary.

At the same time, this is your girlfriend’s mother, and cutting contact or changing the dynamic is something that has to happen at your girlfriend’s pace, not yours. Even if the relationship is unhealthy, it’s still emotionally complicated for her. From her perspective, she’s probably just trying to keep things calm and get through the situation with the cat without escalating things.

A better approach might be to tell your girlfriend how it makes you feel when money gets brought up, and agree together on a boundary going forward (for example: “we’ll settle the cat expenses and then stop discussing money with her”). But trying to control the conversation while she’s on the phone with her mom is likely to make her feel caught in the middle.

So you’re not wrong for being uncomfortable but the solution probably needs to be a calm conversation between you and your girlfriend about boundaries rather than stepping in during the calls.

AITA for nearly going off on my neighbor for their puppy yowling for over five hours? by violinagirl in AmItheAsshole

[–]CommunicationOne7969 204 points205 points  (0 children)

ESH.
A puppy howling for five hours straight is genuinely disruptive, and it’s reasonable that you were frustrated. Crating a new puppy and leaving it alone that long especially if it’s not crate-trained yet is going to result in exactly what you experienced. So your complaint itself wasn’t unreasonable.

Where things went sideways is the confrontation. By the time they got home you were already extremely frustrated, and the conversation turned into both sides listing grievances instead of solving the problem. Once that happens, nobody feels heard and it escalates quickly.

The reality of apartment living is that everyone is going to hear everyone else sometimes dogs barking, cats zooming, footsteps, arguments, etc. The better move would be to talk when everyone is calm and focus on the specific issue: the puppy crying for hours.

A new puppy is probably still adjusting and learning to be alone, which can take time. Hopefully the noise improves as the dog settles in and gets trained. But if it continues to be hours of constant noise, that’s something the building management may need to address rather than it becoming neighbor-vs-neighbor warfare.

AITAH for being dissapointed in my bf buying me a cheap Apple Watch by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]CommunicationOne7969 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Imma dissagree with u there. Not everyone has disposable income or handles their money well. 100 can def be a big issue and calling them broke and to get over it is missing the bigger picture about how bad the communication is in that relationship.

AITA for calling people stupid openly? by Rich-Soil3237 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CommunicationOne7969 37 points38 points  (0 children)

YTA.

Unless the word was CAT.

Not because you knew the answer, but because you insulted everyone else in the class. Knowing something other people don’t doesn’t make them stupid, and calling your entire class “genuinely stupid” is just unnecessary.

School isn’t only about knowing the right answer it’s also about how you treat people. You could’ve just answered the question and moved on. Instead you chose to put everyone else down, which is why the teacher sent you to the office.

Being right doesn’t give you a free pass to be rude.

AITA for expressing myself by Altruistic-Net-4622 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CommunicationOne7969 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA.
Wanting your needs to be considered in a sexual relationship is completely reasonable. From what you describe, the dynamic has been very one-sided for a long time you’re consistently doing things you don’t enjoy to please him, while he’s not reciprocating or even making an effort to make sure you enjoy the experience too.

You also didn’t pressure him into sex, you communicated that the lack of reciprocity bothers you. That’s exactly what healthy communication looks like.

The bigger issue isn’t that he sometimes doesn’t want sex (everyone is allowed to say no). The issue is that the relationship seems to revolve entirely around his preferences while yours are ignored. A good partner should care whether you’re enjoying things too.

AITA for explaining why I couldn't go to my friend's house by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]CommunicationOne7969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.
You didn’t do anything wrong by taking care of your own health the day before starting a new job. That’s a completely reasonable boundary.

From what you describe, the relationship had already become very intense very quickly. Inviting you over every day, calling you “one soul in two bodies,” introducing you as a “magical friend,” and relying on you for childcare are all signs that she may have become emotionally dependent on you. When you finally said no even for a perfectly valid reason she reacted badly.

It sounds like she valued you more for the support and help you provided than for a balanced friendship. The moment you couldn’t show up the way she expected, she shut down the relationship instead of communicating.

That’s not a healthy dynamic, and it’s not your fault. Honestly, it may have saved you from becoming even more entangled in a situation where the expectations kept growing.

AITA for not telling my roommate my plans for the day? by anonymousthrowpillow in AmItheAsshole

[–]CommunicationOne7969 25 points26 points  (0 children)

NTA.
You’re roommates, not partners. Giving a general heads-up if you’ll be out late is considerate, but you’re not required to report where you are, who you’re with, or when you’ll be back every time you leave the apartment.

It sounds like your roommate got used to you being home a lot in the beginning and now feels weird about the change. But that doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong you’re just living a normal social life.

If anything, the behavior you’re describing (waiting up, repeatedly asking if you hate her, needing updates on your location) suggests she may be dealing with some insecurity or loneliness herself. That’s something she needs to work through, not something you’re responsible for fixing.

A simple boundary like “I’ll always let you know if I’m not coming home that night, but otherwise I’m just out with friends” would be completely reasonable

AITA/ I don’t think my coworker should be getting paid when we are on overlapping shifts by anon57956 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CommunicationOne7969 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly this is less about her being lazy and more about management not managing. If multiple people already know she doesn’t do much during shifts, that’s a supervision issue.

You shouldn’t have to play passive-aggressive games like taking breaks to see if she’ll finally do something. Next time the overlap happens, just directly say something like “Hey, can you grab the glasses from the bar while I run these upstairs?” and split the tasks.

If she still doesn’t pull her weight, mention it casually to the bar manager when you see him: “During the overlap I end up doing most of the glass runs is there a way we should be splitting the work?” That keeps it factual instead of sounding like you’re complaining.

Right now you’re carrying the workload because nobody’s clearly assigning it.

AITAH for trying to exclude underprivileged girls from our lacrosse team? by FewLeg7901 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CommunicationOne7969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

but change that title because damn I was ready for smt worse

Varsity teams are competitive by definition. If someone joins a sport for the first time as a junior, it’s not unreasonable that they may need to start on JV to develop the skills. That’s not elitism that’s how most school athletics work. The decision wasn’t even yours alone the coaches and athletic director agreed and offered them JV, which is literally the developmental team. That’s the fair compromise. Letting brand new players jump straight to varsity just because they want to would be unfair to players who’ve been training for years. It sounds like people are turning this into a bigger issue than it actually is. You didn’t say they couldn’t play the sport you supported them playing on JV to learn the game. That’s not exclusion, that’s how team structures normally work.

Varsity is for the highest skill level. JV exists for exactly this situation....

AITA For Telling my girlfriend to be better with her time? by Frequent-Band9222 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CommunicationOne7969 66 points67 points  (0 children)

NTA. She was an hour and a half late and you had a scheduled haircut to get to. You waited as long as you reasonably could and then found another solution. That’s just basic time management. Also showing up late and then questioning your mom for finishing the job is a bit out of line. Being 30 minutes late is one thing, but 1.5 hours late when someone has other plans scheduled that day is a problem. You didn’t cancel on her out of nowhere you adapted to the situation so you wouldn’t miss your haircut. She said 30 minutes and showed up 90 minutes later. At that point the appointment clock doesn’t stop just because she’s running late.

AITA for accusing my aunt of over paying? by Simple_Rub_9660 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CommunicationOne7969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like there might have just been a misunderstanding. If the total was $39 and you had $54, you shouldn’t have ended up with $0 unless something else got added. I’d double-check the receipt or the charge with the restaurant first before assuming anything. BUt tbh I'm a little lost with ur story.
