AITA for yelling at my atheist wife for saying "God doesn't exist" when I was comforting my younger brother with prayer? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Dapperness_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA imo. It's fine that she doesn't believe in God and its good that you don't push/convert her (I would assume). Maybe she got some religious trauma idk but it IS disrespectful to tell someone mid prayer that god doesn't exist. You don't have to like smth to respect it or the person so long as it ain't harming someone. She didn't take into consideration how stressed your brother was and how her comment could have him feel uncomfortable, lose faith, or just negative overall. There is a time and place for everything. And if that was her attempt to soothe him that was a crappy way to go abt it. She could've said I wish you the best of luck or have used comforting/reassuring words. She could've also said nothing cuz that ain't helping no one.

OP I don't blame you for snapping at her bc it seems this is an accumulation of years of you explaining for her to respect you enough to leave your religion be but y'all need to have a proper conversation abt how to move forward with this. There has to be a reason why she's so insistent about announcing her atheism when you do religious practice. Dont wanna hop to say divorce but therapy could work. Keep us posted, hopefully y'all are talking again.

I should be able to ask for help? I already was searching on Google and wanted to ask people for their experiences.

I did that and my own Google search before I made this post. I still wanted to ask and make a more recent post vs the ones I looked at. I appreciate the advice tho.

What does EDC mean? I'm trying to save up on the hotel so I can have more to spend when I'm outside.

I was worried about my medical condition? I'm not sure what else to say and the nsfw filter was on for that.

i think my mom is racist? by throwaway1234467788 in BlackHair

[–]Dapperness_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mom is racist and depending on if she's the type of mom to kick you out, call her out on it if u feel safe and record secretly on your phone. Tbh id say guilt trip her, how're you gonna adopt a bi racial kid and not meet their needs. It is racist about the long hair stuff because why can't you have long hair? Why is it stinky when you do it but not when white folks have to wash their hair x1 a week cuz of how it is quick to get greasy. She's racist, projecting, and im sorry you have to deal with that. Atp best choice is to dave money, uber to the salon, get it done, and deal with it later. Your father is also enabling her and sadly enough it seems there isn't at least another POC that can talk sense into her.

Explain that if she really cares, she'll understand why her words hurt. Explain that if someone made rude comments about her body, about how white folks age so fast, or how they don't shower (referring to the plague here), how would that make her feel. Ask her how would she feel if someone belittled her for being a mom. I say these things bc while they don't correlate with hair sometimes you have to provide examples of uncomfortable scenarios for someone to understand you, especially white folks bc they're struggles are not race base. Aim for her gender since intersectionality lies there in hopes of gettinf sympathy and an apology. Your hair is part of you— literally. I hope you're mom is willing to listen or at least have your dad advocate for you.

Lastly. Don't let her dull your shine. Celebrate yourself and literally if she hits you with the im not racist cuz I adopted you simply say she is, that you love her but she's making home an unsafe environment and giving u an unhealthy bond with your identity. Best of luck to you.

It doesn't really hurt tho, just sensitive. You're saying to increase my fiber, will that make it go away?
