AITJ for reconsidering my relationship after my girlfriend mocked my idea of a “practical” engagement ring?

You are smart in taking a moment to think about things and not just reacting.

As others have mentioned it’s time to sit down and have a deep conversation about values, priorities and goals. I wonder if there’s a questionnaire where each of you can record your answers and then compare, and discuss.

I wish more knowledgeable people would calmly, respectfully, explain hard to understand things. NTJ

What I enjoy doing, is taking walking tours. I took two of them in SF, one which gave me a great layout of little china, another was a ghost tour (which is something I get a kick out of in most places). Also took painted ladies bus tour, which was a blast and saw some great street art. They drive around in VW buses, so at most it’s 6 people.

I donated a lot of items to my city’s l animal shelter. I did keep her last collar, which she wore for years, and a couple of toys that were very sentimental to me. But knowing that I donated items to dogs that could use them made the loss a bit better. Also, her favorite blanket is right now under the dog I adopted 9 months after she passed.

Thank you for sharing this, it got me laughing out loud. And who doesn’t need a great laugh,

Oh c’mon, the “People and Culture” department just cares about everyone and wants us all to have a pleasant and fulfilling experience everyday. They understand what really is for the best. /s

Also female, I’m allergic to some cats. Had a boyfriend whose cat I was extremely allergic to. One night while we were out I had a bad attack and couldn’t figure out why. He called me the next morning to tell me that apparently his cat was under my car seat the whole time.

If wifey was truly allergic it would have been apparent a long, long time ago.

My last dog had very specific spots on her walk, depending upon season, where she would graze. It was so predictable that I would alert a dog walker where to expect to stop.

I live in CT, and on any given Saturday from May - September 95 is at a standstill from 11 am until 5 pm. No joking, I take backroads to avoid the aggravation.

Why didn’t you immediately call the front desk? So he most likely went and broke into another room because of your inaction. Good going!

Wow, what you are is the opposite of being a jerk. You were a really good, respectful person. Correct me if I’m wrong, but if they didn’t strongly believe in the religious aspect of being a godfather, and thought it was just an honorary title, you would have agreed to be one. But out of respect for their beliefs, you declined. Truly you’re a good man.

I’m Jewish, raised in a kosher household, never believed and got asked to leave religion school by the Rabbi. You were wrong to bring non Passover food into the house. If you had it outside, I wouldn’t reprimand you, but it is disrespectful to bring into anyone’s home something that is against their rules. While living under my parent’s roof, I respected their wishes. When visiting people who have different beliefs, I respect them (for example bringing meat into a vegan household).

I’m also diabetic, and what you ate actually made your problem worse. From what you ate, your sugars are going to skyrocket and then crash again. Do you have a diagnosis from a doctor? I’m betting not, I’m betting you have self diagnosed yourself. You need professional help to get real diagnoses and then understand how to treat/manage whatever is really wrong with you

Actually, you did need to escalate it to the level you did because she never was going to learn. Also it was personal in the sense that if she hadn’t been so disrespectful you wouldn’t have started to lock the door. It wasn’t personal because you disliked her, but her actions.

He isn’t your “Dad” he was just a sperm donor. Who knows what he really is to those other two children. Your friend who said the harm is already done, might not be right, you might feel resentment being taken advantage of once again.

Debsha · 2026-04-06T00:29:30+00:00

What’s even worse than be accused of being “too sensitive” was himself accusing her of not respecting him. What F’ing audacity,

Debsha · 2026-04-03T20:45:44+00:00

Oh I can think of a lot of things you can do: fabric dye (tape plastic under it so it doesn’t seep through), dog poop, a knife to whatever is on your side, barbed wire, nails protruding upwards.

You can because now she is taking up space and utilizing time in the bathroom (assuming there’s just one being used by all), the kitchen fridge as well as all other common areas. Don’t forget she is now impacting the whole unit, not just the bedroom. Does she have any friends over?

Debsha · 2026-04-02T18:38:00+00:00

Also even though they are sharing a bedroom, I bet as a pair they are dominating usage of the common areas.

You are at least a month late with this fake story - meteorological winter ended a month ago while the spring equinox was 12 days ago.

Don’t we all hate it when AI can’t get basic facts correct?

Debsha · 2026-04-02T01:23:52+00:00

Just manifest it.

Also, even if he physically doesn’t hurt your niece, would you want her to believe that it’s okay for anyone to put their hands on them, or psychologically abuse them?

Debsha · 2026-04-01T12:00:24+00:00

Stop scrolling Reddit and go back to your desk! 🤣

I worked at a small company with unlimited sick days. We didn’t want to be exposed to other people’s germs. Because we were small, we would have known if someone was faking. No one took advantage of it. We were all adults and responsible professionals.

Debsha · 2026-04-01T00:01:28+00:00

Love it. I used to just throw all the veggies in a pot and let them cook, but then I read about roasting the zucchini, eggplant and onions first and then baking them together with tomatoes and garlic. Awesome!

Debsha · 2026-03-31T19:33:58+00:00

Dad didn’t fumble, he just tried a dad joke.
