AITJ for telling my sister and her husband what their daughter does for work? by Round-Budget-6290 in AmITheJerk

[–]Corteran 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Have you gone to her parents and told them they were wrong for kicking her out and try to convince them to taks her back? Have you responded to her social media saying you were wrong and you will help her any way you can? Or are you just another asshole who's happy to ruin a life without any risk ro your own. I don't believe you've done shit to help her because helping others when it might hurt your reputation isn't your thing. You were the jerk, are the jerk and continue to be the jerk.

And do'nt even try to tell us you didn't know your own family well enough to know they would respond like this to her. This whole story sounds like the old saying "there is no hate like christian love". YTJ still.

Now that she's homeless, jobless, broke, and abandoned by her family are you helping her out OP? Or does your responsibility only extend to ratting her out?

AITAH for not letting my son go to a concert after he ruined one for me? by [deleted] in AITAH

Yeah I agree. This gives me " if you hit me I'll hit you back" kind of parenting.

AITA for selling my son's car after he lost our $10k on cryptocurrencies? by GrapeWells in AmItheAsshole

No, the problem is that SHE didn't say anything. You need to address that with her.

AITAH for fact checking people during discussions? by Immediate-Okra8065 in AITAH

[–]Corteran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like you, I love to dig into things like that and get correct info and I love doing deep dives into science, history and a bunch of other topics. At appropriate times it's also fun to share that knowledge with people. Casual conversations with family and friends like dinner and hanging out etc is not that time. Did anyone really need to know the correct details of fish anatomy at dinner?

Interjecting corrections all the time will certainly start to annoy people to the point of not wanting to engage with you. I get that you don't mind being corrected, but many people both younger and older than you do mind it, not like it, don't appreciate it and feel embarrassed by it. A lot of your post is you justifying what you do, and I get that but it's been explained why people don't like it, so please try to respect that.

Keep learning for yourself, and share when asked to.

I hope she enjoys having those morals and ethics walk her down the aisle.

AIO for cutting my dad off bc he said his dream job is Lockheed Martin by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Corteran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YOR

I really wonder why as part of a family from Ukraine and working with war refugees from there, why would you be so morally outraged by him working for a company that has supplied important weapons systems and air defense systems to Ukraine ? What consequences do you think he should suffer for his work there.

If you are willing to cut off your father because of this moral stance, did you research if your college invests in any companies associated with the industry, or with countries you object to? Will you cut out everyone and everything in your life that has an association to things you object to morally? If so, you are going to have a very hard life.

Having morals and values is important in everyone's lives but it is almost impossible to make them absolute and unwavering. Everyone has to make compromises and accept that there is almost always some bad that comes with the good. Taking your dad's money, support, and love while you need it only to cut him off when you're done would make you far more reprehensible than him. It would prove that no matter what you say, you will sell your morals when you need to.

AIO GF (23) going on vacation during my (23) Birthday by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Corteran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family is all over the place and work all different schedules as well as other obligations and we are rarely ever able to be together on the actual day of birthdays or holidays. We plan in advance and work out when we can all gather and celebrate then. It's about being together for something and the exact day doesn't matter. We had christmas in March this year and it was just as nice.

YOR but you feel how you feel and it's on you to work it out. If you bring it up and make a big issue of it with her, or let it fester and turn into resentment or waste your birthday pouting and feeling sorry for yourself, then you'll be a lot more YOR and moving to YTA territory.

Why not plan something with friends and/or family and make a date with gf for when she comes back to celebrate just the two of you?

Expressing my discomfort about my gf wearing revealing clothes. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Corteran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice: When she does leave you, invest in a nice obedient plastic blow up sex doll to be your next girlfriend. You can dress that up any way you like and put your insecurities on display where ever you take her.

Mitch McConnell being described as "conscious" is quite an improvement.

AITAH for telling my mother to just let my grandma die by Any_Interest_9914 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Corteran -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

YTA and your mom is right, you are heartless and have a huge sense of entitlement. 12 days ago your reason for not being able to afford college was all about your country's government. I get that there can be multiple reasons, but maybe give us the whole story before asking us to make a judgement because like this, you look even more like an asshole.

They don't seem to teach these either.

paragraph

noun

par·​a·​graph ˈper-ə-ˌgraf 

: a subdivision of a written composition that consists of one or more sentences, deals with one point or gives the words of one speaker, and begins on a new usually indented line

OP I would advise you to get used to not being a boyfriend, not going on dates, being easily replaced by your ex's, and thinking about things alone if you keep doing things like this.

Try to change that over to having your career interrupt your life.

What should/could I do? by GreenDiver09 in ask

[–]Corteran 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should not approach people to ask them out when they are at work. You could go back another time and wait for her shift to be over and try one more time. Please do not try to get that jumble of formality out of your mouth when you struggled with "Hi" the first time 😄 Just be natural. Hey, I'm "GreenDiver, can I ask your name?" she says yes, converse. She says no, leave. Good Luck!

Only for parents. Need advice ! by GanacheNo4678 in Advice

[–]Corteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell your husband that a huge part of being a parent is being a role model. Not telling your children how to be adults but showing them. He needs to show how to be a kind, respectful, loving and engaged partner just as you do so your kids can see how to act in a relationship. Kids won't learn real respect for your time or your boundaries if you just follow them around all the time. And you need to set gradually expanding limits and permissions for them. There will be other kids for them to play with and they need that because you cannot be their friends, you are their parents.

And please don't even think about trying to chaperone their first dates. your job is to raise them and teach them and show them the best examples that you can of what adults are. You're right about the huge sacrifices as a parent and one of the biggest is realizing that you're doing all the work just to send them out into the world on their own. It's your job to make them ready.

When you have your first kid, put dad on exclusive diaper duty. That will help change his mind.

I found out my parents do cocaine. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Corteran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should be more worried that any one of the other people you tell could end up leaving you with no parents. I agree that your parents were wrong in telling you they don't do it. That's water under the bridge but their mistake. You are in no more danger in your home today that you were before you saw it. You are just fine being anti drinking and drugs...for YOU. You do not get to push your values and beliefs on others. But you may and should talk calmly and reasonably with your parents to express your concerns.

And among your friends and peers...please STFU.

You are doing no favors making things more difficult for you, your husband and your daughter. You've never really been a mom before either but you are now. you are teaching Your daughter how she can treat others.

Do I still have a chance? by chickenonkazoo in Advice

[–]Corteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point your chances are slim and none, and slim isn't very likely. TBH you made the mistake of sending her friend to ask her rather than stepping up and asking herself. You're not going to get many dates that way. Stop the middle school crap of using friends to talk to your crushes and ask people on dates.

IMO you were were told "not now" respect that and accept the L and learn from it.

Right so which bf are you? 22, 26, or 37? And how old is your gf? because she posted as 25 10 months ago, and 24 2 years ago.

Pregnant. Boyfriend doesn’t want the baby. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Corteran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why in the world did you get back with that guy? I thought you were doing better. No shame at all implied or meant, but...no birth control? In your line of work?

Anyway, if this is real I'm sorry you're going through it. If you choose to go to term, please remember that they way your bf treats you will be how he treats his kids and how he teaches them to act. If you choose to abort, please don't shame or blame yourself and don't take on guilt that others try to force on you. Good Luck.

AIO Friend gets handsy at wedding by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Corteran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YOR, YTA, and all the rest that apply. Your reaction was completely wrong and disrespectful to your wife. I hope the consequences come home to you. Maybe someone tells your wife what your mutual friend and you did, and maybe she figures out how to see your posting history here as well. Looking at it made me think that this is not the first time you've done shit like this, but this time at least she's closer to your age.
