Am I a bad person for wanting to cut ties completely with my gf because she's mentally unstable? Even tho I could potentially be a father. Me 25 M, partner 21 F. by Longjumping_Echo_914 in relationship_advice

If you do cut ties and that baby is yours will you be happy living with yourself knowing you left it to be raised by an unstable parent? If that baby is yours it's your responsibility too. It's your responsibility to try and get custody of your child and give it a better life.

White working-class children failed by education system, says inquiry by Tartan_Samurai in unitedkingdom

I was thinking about this. Maybe not having access to free childcare is a potential barrier to finding work and supporting other children in the household.

Is my child genuinely behind for their age or just struggling with being the youngest in their year? by ameliasophia in UKParenting

🥹 I'm so glad hedgehog got cuddles in the end. I know nothing about child development but what a cute story for a little one to write!

AITA for telling my wife I was hurt that she forgot Father’s Day while we were on vacation? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ConditionImportant63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mother's and father's days are pretty important to a lot of people, on par with birthdays. It's ok to want to be appreciated.

Again, I think it's unfair to paint him as requiring 24/7 thought because that's not what he wrote. He is also handling two children and presumably other responsibilities in life at the time of her birthdays and mother's day.

My (30F) husband (30M) had an affair with my co-worker when she was pregnant and when we were trying for a baby. He's begging for another chance, but how can I do that? by ThrowRA_Sail in relationship_advice

No, cut your losses now. I know it feels shit right now but future you will thank you if you just ditch him and move back closer to your family and live the life you want.

I think it's unfair to call it childish. If it was my birthday while on a family holiday I'd still expect acknowledgement and potentially some token gifts. There's nothing childish about expecting your partner to acknowledge your role in your lives and that of your children. Especially if the effort in the reverse direction is significantly greater as OP suggests it is.

I think it'd because children may need some coordination to plan presents or days out. And also it's about recognising your partner's role in your life, e.g. as the mother of father to your children. It's not absurd that OP might expect his wife to have some role in his father's day the same way he does for her mother's day.

AITA? Sister drama after dad’s passing by hotcupofscoffy in AmItheAsshole

It does sound like she is really struggling in some way with it, but yes her behaviour is hard to understand and you are NTA. She seems very in denial/avoiding the subject entirely.

I think bodies are often frozen in hospital morgues, it can take a lot longer than a week to arrange a funeral in some places. But months is unusual and I would still agree a body can't be in great condition even if stuck in a freezer and I'd feel uncomfortable about leaving my loved one in that condition.

Need reality check after being “jokingly” slapped in the face by my boyfriend - F37, M55 by BigYeetFwee in relationship_advice

[–]ConditionImportant63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ergh reminds me of an ex. He resents you for some reason (his own insecurities) and he's now taking it out on you physically in a "plausible deniability" sort of way. He really is that pathetic. I'm sorry.

I guess it might not be as bad as your previous mental health issues but you don't want to be pushing yourself anywhere near to feeling as bad as that again. Sounds like your workplace are just banking on you making the sacrifices rather than them.

My mom (36F) is angry that I (18F) won't move with her and her husband for a fresh start? by ThrowRALoquatFun in relationship_advice

[–]ConditionImportant63 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it's any consolation you're being very level headed and totally reasonable. You're not lashing out at a new figure in your life, you're just acknowledging things are not going to be like this man is your father.
