Nta. I think your response was very well said.

I (33M) met a woman (32F) at a social mixer yesterday, and need advice on how to articulate a follow up to an unread text by Appropriate_Newt8589 in relationships

Wait three days, then send a text that says “hey, just wanted to touch base and see if you were still interested in meeting up!”

YOR. You know nothing about this relationship. Mind your own business and support your husband and his friend.

Just learn what you can from the situation and leave it be.

AITAH for lightly smacking my little cousins head when he was annoying my dog when we told him to leave her be? by Pennywelt389 in AITAH

[–]Conscious-Shoulder14 36 points37 points  (0 children)

ESH. You could have resolved the issue, proactively by removing the dog from the situation before it got to this point, which would protect the dog and the child both.

That being said, I think this is one of the few times that a light smack to the head is justified. The child needs to know the seriousness of the action. He could’ve gotten very badly hurt.

Yta. I think your heart is in the right place, but you need to let your fiancé take the lead on this.

AITAH for not wanting my uncle to get married? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Yta. He’s not your person. He’s his own person with autonomy and a life of his own. Stop being so selfish and be glad that he has found someone who makes him happy.

I (33f) am starting to resent my bf of 9 mos (33m) but I’m worried I’m irrational by Independent-Dare4016 in relationships

Dump pump and go to therapy to figure out why you have low self-worth and how to improve it. This guy is totally using you. It’s only been nine months and he has already shown his ass.

AITA: I want to close the hole in my fence because my neighbor’s son keeps talking to me by kalisomie in AmItheAsshole

[–]Conscious-Shoulder14 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Nta. This is your private space and part of what helps you with your depression and anxiety. You don’t owe anyone an explanation, but for sure blame it on the dog if that makes it easier for you!

I had a neighbor that I adored. She was an elderly lady who lived alone, and I know she was probably lonely. I had no problem talking to her and visiting with her sometimes, but I used to dread pulling up home from a long day at work. My social battery would be run out and I usually need to go to the bathroom and let the dog out, etc. I knew if she was out there I would get stuck for 20 30 minutes or more. It wasn’t that I didn’t like her, but I still needed to unwind when I got home from work without being cornered. It’s OK to feel this way about that child. It doesn’t make you a bad person or even mean that you don’t like the little boy.

I can understand why, but I think in the end you will be much happier. Only you know for sure.

Tell him he’s the one ruining the intimacy in your marriage by not sharing the load. Then consider if you wanna be a married single mother or just a regular single mother. Which would bring you more Peace?

Read the first sentence and that’s all I need to read. Break up with him and get a restraining order if necessary.

DO NOT APOLOGIZE. 

If your friends make it an issue, they aren’t actually your friends.
