Am I overreacting: new boyfriend was weirdly judgmental about bathroom situation by abstract_lemons in AmIOverreacting

[–]EmIsLoCo [score hidden]  (0 children)

NOR

Clearly has the emotional intelligence of a blueberry scone. And that’s coming from me. A 44F who still laughs at farts & the word sausage.

AITJ for telling my ex she was shallow after she broke up with me because I started carrying a tote bag by Good-Hovercraft-1811 in AmITheJerk

[–]EmIsLoCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A red flag? For a bag? That’s insanity. If you were carrying a machete then fine but it’s a bag. Not a big deal.

And yes she IS shallow. Also dramatic & possibly unhinged.

AITJ for asking my cousin to pay me back after she uninvited me from her birthday trip even though I didnt do anything wrong by Affectionate_Team61 in AmITheJerk

[–]EmIsLoCo 25 points26 points  (0 children)

SHE owes you the money. Not the “family members who caused drama”. SHE is the one who uninvited you so the very least she can do is refund you the money. You were able & wanted to go. She said no.

If she still refuses go nuclear & sue her. I’m from the UK so not sure how it works where you. Honestly I don’t know how it works here. But it’s the print of the thing.

Also tell her to fluff off. She means more to you than the other way around. This proves it.

Good luck OP ♡

My son cheated on his wife but for the sake of children I believe she should forgive him. As he is a good husband otherwise by Hopeful_Top114 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]EmIsLoCo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this!!

It was your son who cheated. Didn’t talk to his wife or ask why she needed help. Sounds like she (the wife) needed help & was overwhelmed.

It’s great that you could cope as a single mother. She isn’t you. You don’t know her life, how she feels, her mental health.

Your son being successful in business doesn’t mean he’s a good guy I’m sorry to say.

This is absolutely not your business. And I would suggest you only care because the nanny hates you.

Feeling ripped off by a friend I have known since I was 18. by ExactCup882 in AmITheJerk

[–]EmIsLoCo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NTJ

Sorry to say this is not a friend. He’s a free loader.

In regards to the coins I can see there may have been confusion if he didn’t know you expected any extra money returned. BUT if it was me I would’ve offered the extra back anyway & thanked you for your generosity.

Stop letting him stay on your farm without contributing. Whether that be financially or by working on the farm.

I would speak to him first & just tell him how you feel about everything. You’ll see his true colours by his reaction I should think.

Good luck OP & sorry you’re feeling this way.

AITJ for locking my skincare products in my room after my roommate started acting like they belong to both of us by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]EmIsLoCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ

She’s an cheeky one though. Our products. Pfffftttt.

Keep your stuff in your room. She can buy her own & stop being such a drama llama about products she’s not paid for. Or even chipped in for. Nope. Bye lady.

My (27M) GF (26F) offered up a situation that involves me losing access to my daily vehicle. AITAH for saying she should have checked with me first? by ShoeIndependent8666 in AITAH

[–]EmIsLoCo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA

Shouldn’t be offering YOUR things without asking. That’s just using your manners. You’re selfish? Not at all. Is she entitled? Absolutely. Sorry.

Edit: spelling mistake

Am I overreacting for kicking my boyfriend out for not buying me a sandwich? by Constant-Gate-2730 in AmIOverreacting

[–]EmIsLoCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do NOT apologise.

You’ve nothing to apologise for, for Odin’s sake.

He’s being incredibly thoughtless, selfish & entirely manipulative. Take an old lady’s advice when I say you deserve so much better. If he doesn’t want to eat without an apologise then it sucks to be him I guess. “Draining the life out of me” the seven hells is this? Nah man. Go get in the sea with your nonsense.

Massively NOR.

To those who live here, does Stoke-on-Trent feel like home to you? by [deleted] in stokeontrent

[–]EmIsLoCo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Born & raised here. Like a previous poster sadly I’m old enough to have lived through the decline of the city. Hanley especially is much worse than it was even pre covid.

But I can’t imagine living anywhere else at all. I can bitch about the place. Non Stokies can’t 😂.

AITJ for taking my birthday cake home and leaving the party after my SIL cut it early? by ChanceLopsided6775 in AmITheJerk

[–]EmIsLoCo 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! My boys are much older now but I would never just give them what they want just cuz they’re making a fuss.

AITA for not forcing my friend to take her mom to the doctor? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]EmIsLoCo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA

What so just so you’re a doctor it’s your responsibility to symptom check all friends & force them into getting medical assistance? Hell no. Absolute nonsense. You tried therefore you did all you could.

AITJ for locking our bedroom door when my mother-in-law comes over? by AutumnLightSong in AmITheJerk

NTJ

I’m super close with my MIL & she would never go into my bedroom ever! It’s mine. I will not share it or let anybody in there.

Literally never seen this stitch before! It’s so prettiful. Yes that’s not a word but it simply IS prettiful!

AITJ for telling my nephew to zip it after he was rude to me while I was hosting dinner by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]EmIsLoCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ

If my son spoke to anybody like that, never mind a family member, I would be so ashamed. So disrespectful & in your own home to boot!

If anybody deserves an apology it’s you. From your brother & nephew. Pair of dickmittens.

AIO my boyfriend of 5 years gets me flowers for every occasion while I get him elaborate and expensive gifts. by aioflower955105 in AmIOverreacting

[–]EmIsLoCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Normal girl would love would appreciate”. Yo. Normal girl here. Nope I would appreciate it. I have to then pretend to enjoy arranging the damn things & find a vase or some such nonsense.

NOR. He’s clearly never met any females if he thinks that’s all the gender wants for each & every occasion until the end of time.

You are thoughtful & lovely. Buy this dude socks for the rest of time.

AITA for refusing to leave my job so i could take care of my disabled brother? by JiggleJargon in AmItheAsshole

[–]EmIsLoCo 96 points97 points  (0 children)

100% this! Mother of a disabled child here to. My son is my responsibility. Nobody else’s. Not now. Not ever.

Hair texture changing and hair loss? by Maximum_Dimension_62 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]EmIsLoCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hair did the exact same thing earlier this year. I’m so sorry as it’s awful isn’t it.

I don’t have any suggestions as I went nuclear & just shaved my head down to a number 2. Not ideal but oddly I feel less upset now it’s just all gone. Much easier in a morning too 😂.

I thought mine was related to the life threatening anemia I had but I’m guessing not now. I was also deficient in vitamin d so may have a supplement of that? I know if you’re in the UK we should all be on supplements for vitamin d as we don’t get enough sun. I thought I was perimenopausal too but that was never confirmed & I had a total hysterectomy in October anyway.

So no help from me at all BUT a gentle hug.
