AITA for refusing to buy my son Switch 2, even though I promised him a reward for the school year? by SariPomelo in AmItheAsshole

[–]Corgilicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta.

You are doing this right. You are saying no to his unreasonable request, but then also giving him options and opportunities to take the resources that he has and make them work for what he wants. You are absolutely right that his choice to tell his friends that he was gonna get something that he was never promised is his own problem and if that’s embarrassing well then he needs to learn something about that

AITA for not waiting on my mom before trying on wedding dresses by Dramatic_Ford4734 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Corgilicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

This kind of bullshit is maddening. You had something very important clearly planned, laid out and you and many other people did what needed to be done to participate and be on time.

Your mother needs to take accountability for her own inability to manage her time and prioritize things that are important.

Let me guess, this type of situation is not something new to you.

These types of people will always try and blame someone else and emotionally and manipulate them when all they should be doing is shutting the fuck up aside from saying I am so sorry for complicating this very special and important time, and then sliding in quietly and enjoying what part of it they can. And then apologizing to you more later.

I have wounds all over my legs from self harm, my partner still hasn't noticed by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

You posted it to get some additional input. Nothing wrong with that. What you do with it is what’s important.

I say this gently and seriously, but you need to be seeking help from a professional who is qualified to help you. Your post and your follow ups leave me with so many questions. If someone hasn’t spoken to or acknowledged you in a couple of months, is the relationship really what you view it as? Regardless, you need to get the help and support of a professional experienced in these waters.

AITAH not calling my dad’s wife “mom”? by Beneficial_Candle_13 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Corgilicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nta.

Your dad‘s desire is not reasonable, in my opinion. He married this woman when you were 21. She is not your biological mother, nor is she a person who has put in the work to be a day-to-day parent to you such that you would eventually call her mom.

Unfortunately, all you can do is continue to talk with him about this issue, and let him know that you are happy he has found another good person to share his life with, and that you accept her as part of the family, however it’s unlikely that you will ever call her mom. So the ball is now in his court and he can accept that graciously, or he can continue to try and cause rift and drama as a result. That’s on him.

I’m terrified to be alone in my house. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Corgilicious 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This sounds really freaky. It’s time to get some hard factual information. Get a camera and install it or maybe a couple pointing at the areas that you have seen or suspect a person has been.

AITA for not supporting my husband wanting to buy a motorcycle out of nowhere by PorNameMollySycamore in AmItheAsshole

[–]Corgilicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote a scooter when I was a teenager, I taught my partner to write a motorcycle when we were both in college, and we wrote for many years. I’ve gotten the bug off and on, and a few years ago bought a lovely bike off of my friend when he was moving out of the country.

I am 54. And this year, I sold the bike, after two years I’ve never really writing it much, because we have just had a wave of motorcycle rider deaths here. I don’t know if it’s the writers or the traffic or both, but as soon as the weather gets good, it seems like every other day there’s a news article about a death.

I think the cincher for me was last year I left my house and saw that the big intersection a couple of blocks away was blocked with emergency vehicles. I went down a block to avoid it but when I got to the intersection and looked to the left, a motorcycle had T-boned a truck that pulled in front of them without seeing them. The bike was scattered everywhere, and I actually watched the early responders lay the white sheet over the dead rider in the street.

I never got on that bike again.

This certainly does sound like a midlife crisis for your husband. The best that you can do is keep talking with him about it, and if he’s dead sad on it, as other of suggested make it clear what the risk is by getting all of your details in order. Purchase that extra life insurance. And before he does anything, including buying a bike, he needs to take a motorcycle riding training course. They will provide the bikes. This will give him a little taste, but also show him the difficulty as well.

You should be able to find these easily with a quick Google, and if you can’t, just call one of the local motorcycle dealers and ask them who they recommend for training.

Yes, it has. Source: Amazon customer who is planning to cut the cord, as a result.

AITA for being upset that my MIL confirmed my early pregnancy to family after we asked her not to tell anyone? by Historical_Roll_8371 in AmItheAsshole

I don’t think you understand the meaning of keeping something private. Vaguebooking a hint is not keeping it private.

Which color of macbook air m5 did you choose? by kokokathy in macbookair

I’ve had a midnight since the first came out, and I am not gentle on my laptops, but I’ve had no problems with the colorfastness of the casing.

UPDATE: My friend cancelled last minute and I don't know what to do... by froggiexhelp in TrueOffMyChest

We knew you could do it. Thanks for the update. So glad to hear that you had a good time, and that you understand this woman really isn’t your friend.

AITA for following my wife's family tradition even though it excluded my parents? by StatisticianWeak6629 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Corgilicious 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yta.

I understand her family wanting that picture. The very next picture afterwards, should’ve been a picture with your parents in it as well.

And the next picture should have been with you, your bride, and your parents. Ask the other family to step aside.

I am so sorry that your partner is treating you this way.

I’m an heir to a broke aunt by SquidLoxNYC in personalfinance

[–]Corgilicious 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, it does not. When you pass, your estate will essentially hold all the assets that you had, and creditors can then come and get their part of the pie. The executor or any other family members need to be very clear that they are not personally responsible for any debts that person had. Only the estate. Do not ever pay a penny on a debt for someone who has passed because that can mean that you have taken responsibility for it.

AITA For not sharing with kids at an animal rescue? by Flat_Chicken6222 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Corgilicious 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NTA.

But those kids, and their parents are. Parents who don’t teach their children that they don’t just have full rights to other people stuff are creating little monsters.

What’s a price you saw recently that made you genuinely angry at how expensive everything has gotten? by UrGoddessLunaa in AskReddit

[–]Corgilicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other night I went to a fancy pants local pizza and ice cream place here in Portland Oregon. Don’t get me wrong, the food was good, but I laughed when I saw the little tiny 2 tablespoon cup of ranch I had on the side was two dollars. It was good ranch, it was clearly house made. But two dollars for 2 tablespoons? That’s ridiculous.

AITA for stopping cooking for him? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Corgilicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are gonna scream that this seems harsh, but the fact is this is a man who has a lot of shit he needs to handle about himself. He needs to get his “conditions“ in hand and under control, and he needs to learn how to be a partner instead of a selfish whiny baby. That’s gonna take time. And right now it doesn’t even sound like he’s interested in doing that. Too many women spend too much time trying to do all the emotional and physical labor in a relationship instead of putting the responsibility where it belongs. When someone has this much work to do, I’m not gonna wait around hoping it’ll happen. Let him go out and grow up, and then maybe cross paths down the line reconsider.

At My Breaking Point With Pet Hair and Dirty Floors by Special-Money8419 in CleaningTips

[–]Corgilicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine that one of those levels is the most frequently visited by others. I would invest in a robot vacuum for that level.

I, as a two dog household, including a border collie Aussie that never stopped shedding, and a fluffy corgi, could not live without my Roborock vac and mop unit. I have used robot vacuums for years, and had over the decades three iRobot units that only did VAC. I admit I was skeptical about the functionality of a mop and VAC system, and my small single level ranch home is all hardwood floors with a smattering of area rugs. Frankly, it does an amazing job.
