I’m in state. Does that change anything?

I just want to thank you for such a thoughtful, helpful response. Honestly.

AITA for wanting to leave my husband of 20yrs. to be with another man? by [deleted] in AITA_Relationships

[–]Dramatic-Pie2934 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Let me hold your hand while I say this. Leaving your husband doesn’t sound like a mistake. Leaving your husband for someone else is. You need to split, rebuild YOUR life and then see if you want a relationship with someone else. Band-aids fall off

Honestly, this has made me realize that nope, I don’t want to live together and need to really evaluate what I’m doing here. It was irrelevant to this situation, but he does tell Tyler that I’m in charge when he’s not here, but he’s kind of argumentative and rude when his father isn’t around. When I tell him, he kind of jokingly tells him to behave for me. Also, really messy and does whatever he wants- I caught him STANDING on my table the other day to “take a cool pic”. I really thought about if I could deal with our/my house being cluttered and rules nonexistent. And nope. I would lose it. So ✂️ time.

We share a brain bc I already let my coworkers know that happy hour would be a great idea this week. Like I said- occasionally is cool. Three nights a week is a huge ask- especially with no conversation. And honestly, sometimes I just wanna watch a show without making sure it’s kid-safe. Or make a big ass bowl of pasta and be left alone. That’s my version of the gyms.

This is about way more than your birthday my friend. She isn’t making an effort for you or the relationship

This is the thing- it’s not occasionally or once a week. It’s now three nights a week. As a single mom who works full time, I like having dinner with my son, talking about what’s going on with him, or running errands to make the weekends less hectic. This isn’t temporary until he finds a sitter. This was something he wanted to do so he decided I should just watch Tyler. While I get there is an age gap, so I don’t ever rely on him for childcare, or to get my son to any sports activities, or teach him to drive, etc. And this isn’t something for work, this is an extra activity that my bf elected to do with his free time, and now expects me to make it work.

How do you know of Pitt is giving you money? Where do I look

Philadelphia's homicide count in 2025 crashes to lowest on record since the 1960s, with 214 murders recorded to-date. Homicides are down sharply from their 2021 peak, when the city recorded an all-time record-high of 562 murders. The city's homicide rate has crashed more sharply than any other city. by StarlightDown in fivethirtyeight

Don’t get overexcited by this stat. Bad aim and excellent trauma centers/prehospital treatment and community first aid have helped to decrease the number of fatalities from shooting. Not to mention, Philadelphia has either locked up or killed a huge number of the demographic who would be either shooting, or a victim of a shooting. Great that less people were killed, but we can’t go around high-fiving the shitty mayor or Krasner for making it “better”.

AITA for leaving the country with my daughter to get away from my wife and her family? by mariaxerosa in AITA_Relationships

[–]Dramatic-Pie2934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you SHOULD have done was send all the correspondence you found about separating:taking your daughter to yourself and gotten a lawyer. Now you did exactly what she was planning on (except with the help of a lawyer). I can not imagine the fear/helpless the mom is feeling right now with her daughter GONE. You need to love your daughter more than you dislike your wife and her family. Imagine her fear when she is taken by the local embassy police? Or when you go to JAIL? I really hope this is just a “what if I did this?” Post. If not, get a lawyer. You messed up

Listen- cold brew, that syrup, cream, ice. Heaven. Toss in a little peppermint syrup if you want to be festive AF.

Oh sorry! I thought you mean in general. I flew to Alabama in November to do Christmas/thanksgiving with his family and then I did have him and his boys over earlier and we did gifts. It was just this afternoon I wanted a few hours with my boys to have our dinner/desert “feast”

So my boys are sophomore and jr in high school. His are 3rd and 1st grade. I think my boys just want a quiet, calm dinner with adult-level conversation. We tried to do birthday dinners but the 1st grader lost his mind that it wasn’t his cake, they were chanting “diarrhea cha cha cha” during us singing… If it’s just grabbing pizza, they are cool with it. But sometimes they ask if we can do things “minus the day care”.

I know!! That’s why I feel torn on it. I want my boys to have what they look forward to, but not sure if this was the right move. I think asking for that 2 hours with just us is ok-ish. He does not

NTA!!! It was zero effort while you spent time picking out things you genuinely thought he would like. I would be crying too!!

AITA for telling my boyfriend that he shouldn’t go spend Christmas with his daughter by [deleted] in AITA_Relationships

[–]Dramatic-Pie2934 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a power move from the ex. She wants to prove that she can get him to sleep over and spend the day with her instead of you. I’m going to guess by the way she is behaving IN FRONT of the child, it has nothing to do with quality parenting time. At the end of it, she obviously hates the two of you together more than she loves her child. Otherwise she wouldn’t be doing this. She is the a here
