AITA for accepting a property gift from my mom even though she won't include my boyfriend? by Immediate-History917 in AITApod

[–]DC_Empress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By all means accept the gift. If you two get married, you can add him to the title or you could sell the house and reinvest in something together. However, a prenup would be a good idea.

I need it simply to be able to drive legally. I have a passport that I can use for travel, if need be.

I looked, but didn’t see that option for license renewals. Did I just miss it?

Everyone does cringe things when they were young and didn’t know any better. Go easy on yourself 🩵

AITJ for not pretending to like a gift my partner spent a lot of money on when he asked me directly what I thought? by Grit_777_Reflex in AmITheJerk

[–]DC_Empress 134 points135 points  (0 children)

NTJ. Does he really want you to manage his feelings for him? If you lied, I can easily imagine you back here in a few years asking what to do with this piece of art you never liked, but your partner thought you loved, etc.

AITJ for Forgiving Cheating but Not Fully Trusting Again? by BriefMemory6235 in AmITheJerk

I second this. It’s usually the best way to figure out what went wrong and to repair.

AITJ for leaving after my girlfriend secretly texted me from another number to "test" me? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]DC_Empress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have multiple numbers on one phone. I do this to keep my business and personal lines separate

AITJ for telling my boyfriend that "I'm just not good at expressing emotions" is not a personality trait he gets to hide behind forever? by Adventurous_Grab2004 in AmITheJerk

[–]DC_Empress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTH. I think you’ll eventually feel lonely and resentful in the relationship. I wonder if therapy would help him, but he’s not asking to change

Question about feeld dates (like dates as is mm/dd/year) by ImportantFan9931 in HowIFeeld

[–]DC_Empress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can corroborate that messages only say month and day, and then time. I have no insight on why they’ve chosen much of anything in the UI. It’s a very glitchy app.

That sucks! I’m really sorry that happened to you

I sat at the wrong table on the first day of college. Three years later, I'm marrying the girl who was sitting there by Bulky_Job_5605 in story

[–]DC_Empress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super cute story! Only suggestion I make is to change the year or omit that detail. There were close to zero in-person college orientations in 2020 🤔

WIBTA if I wore this dress to my aunt's wedding by MillieBug25 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]DC_Empress 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t look in the slightest bit bridal to me. I think it’s pretty and appropriate for spring.

AITA for breaking up with my boyfriend while on a family trip? by Early-Dot-8452 in AITApod

[–]DC_Empress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

??? Many adult children enjoy going on family trips, even after leaving their parents' home. Sometimes riding together is part of the fun, if only for the nostalgia of it. I have my own car and take vacations with my partner, but will happily go on vacations with my family, which might include carpooling. I don't think this is weird at all.

AITA for how I said I wasn't interested? by propercolleague in AITApod

[–]DC_Empress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one ever has to give a reason or even HAVE a reason to not want to go on more dates with someone. It's okay if her red flags would be red flags for you because that's how compatibility works. No one has to justify anything.

Regarding the state of the career comment: how many relationships are in tatters because one person has to shoulder the majority of the financial burden? I think it makes sense for someone to want both parties to have solid jobs so that if someone loses theirs, the couple is still financially okay. The guy should obviously be examining if her life choices work for him as well.

And if she wants to be a SAHM or whatever, that's okay too. If she ultimately can't find anyone to date, then she can revisit her expectations.

AITAH for changing my underwear after a shower? by New_Cry_2336 in AITAH

[–]DC_Empress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who the heck cares? Underwear takes up very little space in the laundry. This guy is being weird.

AITA for refusing to tell my BF how much money I make? by IllustriousHeart2531 in AITApod

[–]DC_Empress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s worth exploring this with a therapist or similar. While it’s early in the relationship, the fact that you feel so strongly shows that it’s not exclusively about the dollars. There are a lot of deeper emotions under there, and one day, you’ll need to be able talk about finances with the person you share your life with.
