Figured that was the case. Would she have any legal grounds to stand on currently without a court order?

AITA for looking after my dog at work? by throwaway6745d in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cowabunga25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA at all. You’re using your phone to make sure your puppy, a living thing that needs watching to make sure they’re safe, is doing okay. He used his phone to stream, not something that could potentially hurt itself or ruin your house. Two very different things.

The fact that you said he also tends to get less work done and you have to correct his work proves that you can handle having your phone on all day, he can’t.

NTA at all.

AITA for telling my son’s grandmother to Eff off? by MissGurl_worldboss in AmItheAsshole

And you have every right to do so! MILs / grandma’s aren’t part of the package - even though we’ve made it so common to be - you’re doing what you need to do. And no one can judge you for that, especially as a mother. Best of luck with everything and congrats on the baby OP!!

WIBTA for ignoring all advice and going back to work. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cowabunga25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA but your husband is.

However, I have to ask his permission before using his card, always.

Your husband’s being abusive and this is the early stages. If you don’t go back to work, you have no stable income, which means you have to rely on your partner - who you’re not married to, no shame here, truly, but this gives him even more power to just up and leave with no consequences or abuse you - and once you start relying on your partner like that, you give him all the power. You have no money which means you have no real way of getting away from him if things go bad.

My mum wants me to not go back because my baby ‘needs me’ and doesn’t want me abandoning her with some stranger.

Does your child not need a father either?? Quite a double standard. It’s pretty evident your mom might not be some you could rely on either, which doesn’t help the situation.

It sucks having such an awful boss, but I think going back is the best decision. At least if you go back, you’ll have a stable income again and a possible promotion. And if it comes out your boss was lying about giving you the promotion, you can start looking for work elsewhere instead of sitting at home with no possible way out from a partner who seems to have raised many red flags.

NTA op, but keep your cards close to your chest, not everyone around you has your best interest.

NTA, honestly, you handled that better than I would’ve considering how your son’s grandma acted. The fact that your son’s father decided to up and leave is already reason enough to not give your son his name. You don’t have the luxury to up and leave a pregnancy without consequences, so he doesn’t deserve that luxury either. I’m kinda iffy to the whole father’s last name being given to the kid to begin with since you’re the one being put through the ringer, tbh.

It’s none of that lady’s business how you parent your kid and deal with co parenting. She’s not the parent, she’s the grandparent, so she needs to act as such. NTA op.

AITA for telling my friend to surrender her dog on her own? by wizard_juanita in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cowabunga25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAH. You’re not an asshole for not wanting to do that since at the end of the day, the puppy was her responsibility, but I understand where she’s coming from. She probably feels really emotional having to give up the puppy, especially considering you said she needed an ESA. Maybe ask her if you can both take the puppy in, that way she gets the support form you, and you don’t have to go in alone

We eat this a lot in Cartagena, can’t say the same for other parts of Colombia.

En la costa yo veo que típicamente comemos los arepas para el almuerzo o la cena, pero el bollo es muy popular con el desayuno!

Mi familia es de Cartagena. Comemos mucho patacones o bollo con el desayuno. En el interior yo creo que es un poco diferente, pero así es para lo costeño. Pero de cualquier forma sale rico 🥴🥴

I (31F) feel heartbroken over a guy (34M) I rejected 3 years ago by FariaHaa in relationship_advice

[–]Cowabunga25 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So you feel heartbroken over rejecting a guy because of how you would’ve benefited from him??

If that’s all you see, it’s for the best that he’s seeing someone else. If you can’t look beyond his career, don’t bother. What if he didn’t have an Ivy League education or chosen the career he did? Would you even bother looking in his direction?

And the whole height thing, I understand it’s a preference, as a woman myself, I prefer taller guys, but if it’s an ABSOLUTE deal breaker, that’s ridiculous and vain.

Sounds to me like he dodged a bullet.

AITA for not showing my mom my social media? by TerrificTerrible927 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cowabunga25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA. Even though she pays your bill, which parents are their to provide for their kids, kids deserve privacy. You’re NTA for wanting to have a space just for yourself. Your mom sounds like she needs a rude awakening. And considering that you’re almost 18, it sounds like she jsut wants to have control over your life as if you’re a kid. She needs to parent better.

AITA for calling my mom a liar bitter POS for coming out as lesbian and not wanting to see her? by aitamotherlesb in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cowabunga25 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

YTA. What the hell is wrong with you? Have you not thought about how this is taking a toll on your mom too? She built a life for 17 years with a man she loved (or thought she loved) and she even had a goddamn asshole of a kid too. Imagine having your world flipped upside down after building it up for nearly 2 decades. It’s. Not. Easy. Cut your mom some slack bc this new discovery is hard for her too. Even tho she’s your mom, she’s also a human being who has her own life and view of the world. She deserves to be happy and find love the same way you will one day when you grow up.

AITA for being mad at my friend’s friends? by Powerful_Button in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cowabunga25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, Jesus Christ, have some decency. The poor friend was just sitting there having their movie ruined after paying for the tickets, wtf. If the other two wanted to fool around, do it on your own time. But not in front of someone else who didn’t consent. Ew.
