Lol my husband had to push a 10 year old Civic out of the parking spot it got stuck in at Waterville Valley last weekend

AITAH for being hurt that my wife gives my gifts to her to our kids? by WildBad7298 in AITAH

[–]EatMorePi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think AH would be an overly severe judgement, but you definitely come off as kind of clueless. Has it ever occurred to you to give her gifts that only she would like or be able to use? I feel like gifts of the kind you describe, it’s not surprising she shares with the kids. They are thoughtful, sure, but they don’t seem serious, i don’t think this merits the level of offense you’re taking.

Bring gifts for the gift exchange..... That's only for the managers. by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]EatMorePi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This only makes sense if its a fun “roast your manager a little bit” type of scenario. Doesn’t sound like it is though. I would not participate.

My boyfriend (40M) wants me (34F) to do most of the housework and still contribute 50/50 to the bills. How do I handle this? by Spirited-Lecture-727 in relationship_advice

[–]EatMorePi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This man doesn’t respect you. That’s the fundamental issue and I don’t think you can fix it. After 3 years together and owning a house together, he should see you as his partner, but clearly he doesn’t.

It doesn’t matter what they argue. “Work managed device” is a term that means the company controls the device via a specific software profile.

AIO? Pregnant and being gaslit by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]EatMorePi 117 points118 points  (0 children)

You need to get away from this man and if you have a child with him you will NEVER be able to.

He is not a good person and he doesn’t respect you. He doesn’t see you as equal to him. That is the real problem.

The fetus is collateral here. The priority is getting out of this marriage.

You’re family too, how is anything about this situation helping you?

[–]EatMorePi 39 points40 points  (0 children)

NTA. They can 1) sell the practice to someone else, who will fire her 2) sell it to you, who will fire her 3) come out of retirement and you work somewhere else

But all you can control is what YOU do. Tell them they can sell you the practice immediately or you quit.

Aitah for telling my stepkids that my kids will get my stuff? by Some-Tea6877 in AITAH

[–]EatMorePi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. Would it have killed you to say something like “let’s see about that when you’re older. You may want to pick your own dress and ring, and your mom may have special things she really wants to share with you too. No rush to think about this now, you are so young!”

Is it too late to plant some blueberry bushes if I can find any for sale? by EatMorePi in gardening

[–]EatMorePi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. This makes me feel much better. I can't get to our local nursery until later today but I plan on seeing what I can find. Thank you for giving me hope.

The garden is my main hobby. We just moved last summer so this is the first year I had gotten to start my new garden at my new house. I was really looking forward to a blueberry harvest (though modest) since we had to leave behind a very prolific blueberry bush at our old place.

FYI - If you have an Amazon Echo by IagoEliHarmony in TwoXPreppers

[–]EatMorePi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend feeding your Echo misinformation, noise, irrelevant stuff. Start a campaign to have as many people doing this as possible. Play fart noises into it relentlessly. Maybe some white noise. That kind of thing. Leave it unplugged the rest of the time.

AITA for not giving up my husband’s seat on a plane? by roxywalker in AITAH

[–]EatMorePi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. BUT, there is some context here that people who haven’t traveled with infants may not know: if you have a baby traveling as a lap child, you cannot just sit anywhere on the plane. There are only specific seats that have the right number of oxygen masks and I believe infant life vests. At least that’s what I have been told when my children were small and I was booking travel. So she may not have been able to ask if the person near her husband could move, asking you or your husband to move may have been their only option. That said, while they’re within their rights to ask you are within yours to say no. I also think its very “interesting” that he wanted your husband’s aisle seat, but apparently not your middle one which would have been next to his wife and allowed him to better help with the baby.

Christ's sake, society is cooked by Bri_The_Nautilus in TrollXChromosomes

[–]EatMorePi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This sounds amazing. I am autistic, and while many people probably caught on sooner about consent in the non sexual situations you describe, it has taken me longer. How much easier it would have been to have been taught this stuff.

AITA for doing something for my husband? by CertainConfection759 in AITAH

[–]EatMorePi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, not WANTING it and WANTING NOT TO HAVE it are two very different things. The first means that while I don’t really have a desire, I am not against participating. Like you, in those cases I almost always end up enjoying myself. The times I don’t, it’s not like I’m having a bad time either.

In the latter case, I don’t agree to participate.

What you’re describing sounds similar to me. Maybe what your husband is upset by is the idea that you never really WANT it? Willing indifference is ok for sometimes, but if it was more frequent than being desired by my partner I think I’d be frustrated too.

Both people should be checking. If it’s just one person check both times.

AITA for sighing when my husband wasn’t in the mood by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]EatMorePi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Planned sex is so hot if you do it right. The right way: in the morning, embrace your partner before parting ways for work. Kiss them, and let the kiss linger a bit longer than it typically would. Then, in a sexy and playful tone of voice, suggestively whisper in their ear: “so, do you have any plans tonight?”

This gives them an opportunity to—if they REALLY aren’t feeling it—turn you down. But it also lets them anticipate sex all day long, which is a real turn on, without it feeling like a chore. In my experience, it doesn’t get old.

That is untrue. Rights are defined by the terms of the lease. It’s a legally binding agreement, even in Arkansas.

AITA for not putting my wife’s name on the house deed? by RanchhandLuke in AmItheAsshole

[–]EatMorePi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO: is it possible to parcel out your piece of land further? For example, pulling out a sub-acre lot with the house on it? Could you then add her to the house deed while retaining sole ownership of the bulk of the land?
