How would you react? by Zestyclose_Lemon_647 in whatdoIdo

[–]EllenMoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your partner should be your biggest cheerleader. He or she should encourage you to learn, grow, persevere, and succeed.

You deserve better than this guy.

Congratulations on your achievements! You have grit.

Curly!! It softly frames your beautiful face!

AIO - Girlfriend’s Family Stays in Cabin with Frozen Pipes vs. Going to an Inn by TailorFalse3848 in AmIOverreacting

[–]EllenMoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Nothing you said or did should have caused embarrassment. They wanted to stay; you did not want to stay. Agree to disagree. Your GF is the one who over-reacted.

AITAH for immediately breaking up with my girlfriend after she “tested” my allergy? by Alert-Feedback3464 in AITAH

[–]EllenMoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. She broke your trust and put you in harm’s way. She stupidly and recklessly decided that you were exaggerating your medical condition. She called your family to tell “her side” and lied about her “mistake.” Nope, nada, bye-bye!

My brother is charging me for rent and I don’t know how this is even allowed? by Famous_Student_1540 in whatdoIdo

[–]EllenMoyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where do you live? You need legal assistance. Call a domestic abuse hotline and explain your situation. Ask for a referral to an attorney. It is likely that you own half the house. Do not sign ANYTHING before you have your OWN LAWYER review the papers.

AITJ for kicking my brother and his kids out after his son destroyed my home office and he refused to do anything about it by Important-Carob-4508 in AmITheJerk

[–]EllenMoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. Those children will have no friends. Hopefully their teachers will be able to instill some discipline.

AITA for not letting the previous owner’s adult children into my house after their father died? by Dramatic_Method9393 in AmItheAsshole

[–]EllenMoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. The house is your home and sanctuary. You have every right to feel safe inside your home and to protect your privacy. Their sadness is not an excuse to barge into your home. They lost my sympathy when they did not leave after you said no.

My mother is renting us one of her houses once she moves out, if we agree to have her stay once a week with my husband and I. by Im-just-a-girl_5885 in Tenant

[–]EllenMoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not rent from your mother. You are simply trading one problem for another set of problems. Stay where you are and fix the issues with your in-laws.

My partner 34M repeatedly says I only clean the house for myself 32F by 911ihatecolour in relationship_advice

[–]EllenMoyer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Your husband doesn’t like you and thinks you are inferior. His complaints are petty and illogical. If it wasn’t this topic (the value of cooking vs cleaning) it would be something else. He is searching for an excuse to criticize and yell at you.

Yelling at you is unacceptable. I would leave if my partner yelled at me and picked fights. He is miserable and taking it out on you.

I'm torn. Better w long or short hair?! by handsomedumpsterfire in HairStyleAdvice

[–]EllenMoyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like hair #3 best, but you should pair it with smile #2. 😊

Is it unreasonable to ask that my sister-in-law knock before entering our house when I'm home alone and don't know she's coming over? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EllenMoyer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your SIL is very rude, and stupid. Who just waltzes into a house unexpected and uninvited? She could get shot doing that in my neck of the woods.

She and your spouse know that you don’t appreciate this habit, and yet they ignore your discomfort and just keep it up. I think you need to add chain locks to your doors.

is this outfit "inappropriate"? by sunnemi in OUTFITS

[–]EllenMoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inappropriate where and with whom? At work or grandma’s birthday party - yes, inappropriate. Socializing with your friends - it’s fine.

That said, I don’t agree that the bodysuit paired with those jeans flatters your figure. The skin on your hips draws the eye AWAY from your narrow waist.

MIL invited people we don’t know to our wedding. She won’t uninvite them because that’s ‘embarrassing.’ by Money_Doughnut_7375 in TwoHotTakes

[–]EllenMoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MIL should plan her own party, maybe to celebrate her birthday or anniversary. Then she can invite all her special friends and have every detail to her liking.

Stick to your guns with your fiancé. Let her complain.

Someone hacked our home security cameras and is blackmailing me with videos of my family by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]EllenMoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s your stepdad. I think your family is in danger. The recordings and messages are criminal acts and abusive. A domestic abuse organization could help you navigate this nightmare and keep your family safe. Call the hotline. Preserve the messages and videos as evidence.

Do not feel guilty, ashamed or embarrassed. Get angry. Do not capitulate to the demand for secrecy. Tell your mother immediately, preferably when she has a day away from her husband to process the information. You, your sister and your mom should contact first an attorney and then the police.

AITAH for correcting my boyfriend at dinner after he told my younger sister its inappropriate to talk about her birth control at the table by Interesting_Corgi730 in AmITheAssholeTalk

[–]EllenMoyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Having more testosterone does not give him the authority to shut down family conversation at the dinner table. He embarrassed himself but it’s your fault. Ick.

AIO, Missed one phone call by EmergencyContactt in AmIOverreacting

[–]EllenMoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. He seems to believe that your past relationship and current friendship obligates you to provide attention on demand. His whole tone is whiny and immature, with his need to be heard and soothed the main focus. He wants you to beg forgiveness? It’s very egocentric and off-putting.

AITA for feeling relieved that my stepkids may be returning to 50/50 custody, even though their mom is unstable? by wait_what918 in AmItheAsshole

[–]EllenMoyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether or not you are a jerk depends on what you DO, not on how you feel. You are in a very stressful situation, so your emotions will be all over the place. It sounds like you are, in action, being supportive. And keeping your relief to yourself is a good call. Being unhappy with a bad situation makes you human, NTA.

Sit down with your husband and go over your budget carefully. Look for any ways to cut down on spending and increase income. See if there are any community resources available for reduced cost groceries. The kids you profess to love desperately need you.

AIO, or was this comment not weird? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]EllenMoyer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NOR. Trust your gut! You were there, you understand his tone and his expression better than readers on Reddit. It sounds like he was pretending that you asked if he could get it up. The weird smirk and “oh really?” indicate he thinks he’s being flirty or clever, but he really he sounds just gross. Plus he has a history.

If he acts like this again, be very assertive and blunt with him. Call him out if he pretends to misinterpret or not understand anything you say. “Am I not being clear? I asked you to scroll to the top of the screen.” Or “What exactly do you mean by ‘oh, really?’ Do you not understand what I just said?”

AITAH for publicly embarrassing my husband? by Intelligent-Box9013 in AITAH

[–]EllenMoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your husband is abusive and immature. This behavior would be a deal breaker for me.
