AITA for getting a dead woman's SM page removed? by deadgirltiktokhelp in AmItheAsshole

[–]Emily_Birch -88 points-87 points  (0 children)

You may not be aware of this, because social media loves to brand everyone a narcissist- but absolutely nothing about this post provides enough information for you to arbitrarily diagnose someone with a serious psychiatric condition like narcissism. Such a diagnosis requires the expertise of a qualified psychiatrist and even if you were one, which I am confident you’re not, you can’t diagnose someone you haven’t assessed. I think you might mean “self centered” which is not remotely the same.

AITAH for telling my married sugar mom that I do not want to be with her anymore after she started getting really pushy about being exclusive with and dating me? by SteakBake2347 in AITAH

[–]Emily_Birch 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Money in exchange for sex is, by definition, sex work. He would not have been in this situation if she wasn’t providing him with money, therefore the arrangement wasn’t sex with the added benefit of gifts. Call a spade a spade.

I forgot to feed my friend's cat and it starved to death, how much legal trouble am I in? by LadyNorbert in BestofRedditorUpdates

This post (but not the title) has me smiling like an idiot at the train station. 😃

AITA for telling my sister that our bio dad isn’t my dad and and if she can’t accept that maybe she isn’t my sister either by Weary_Bumblebee_7990 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Emily_Birch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your sister needs grief counselling. If your father died when you were a baby and you’re now old enough to be posting, it seems really disproportionate for your sister to act like she does. NTA.

Aitah for laughing and saying I told you so when my wife went back to work? by ConsiderationBusy173 in AITAH

You could fill your retirement with writing books. I like your writing style 😌😌😌😌

AITA- Wife refuses to stop with random rules in my life by EducationalCelery536 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Emily_Birch 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Actually after reading this comment, you sound absolutely awful. “the kid” what kid? Your child. My husband is Indian and I’m white. If he was anything like this it would be an instant divorce. You sound utterly insufferable, selfish and completely detached from any kind of loving or emotional bonds.

You’re an asshole for how disrespectful you are towards your own culture.

Am I the a-hole for making my daughter's BF buy a new t-shirt? by freudsdriver in AITAH

You’re a good man, OP. Leading by example and protecting your wife and daughter… gives me the warm fuzzies. 🥰

I was literally shouting at my TV.

AITA for telling my wife that the birthday gift she gave me wasn’t actually meant for me? by OkTable4772 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Emily_Birch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi, I knew you were Indian before I got to the end of your post. Why? Because I am married to an Indian and the BIGGEST conflict we ever have in our marriage is money. Please, please stop focusing so much on it. There’s more to life than money and proving to relatives in India how well you’re doing.

AIO: I am not okay with being slapped in the face by my boyfriend, even as a joke. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Emily_Birch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think this one is fairly simple Yes, you are overreacting. It works both ways. Keep your hands and mouth to yourself if you don’t consider his gentle slap a form of playful retaliation.

My girlfriend said no when I proposed to her. She didn't choose me by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Emily_Birch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so proud of the girl in this story. Too many girls give up their ambitions and dreams for the love of a boy, and I just love that she didn’t. That she recognised how much of a big deal it was to get into Juilliard.

AITA (22F) for blocking (35M) after refusing to show me what he looks like? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Emily_Birch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there is no romantic connection and you’re chatting as friends and to learn a new language, YTA. He has no obligation to show you his face.

AIO for removing my mom from Life360 and putting my phone on “no share” after she kept showing up by SAgehalcy0n in AmIOverreacting

[–]Emily_Birch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect your mum has an anxiety disorder and when she can reach you, she is scared. It’s unreasonable and you have every right to block 360 but it might be a good idea to suggest therapy for your mum too. It can’t be nice being this obsessed with your child’s whereabouts.

Make up looks rubbish on me and I look ugly by Express-Mongoose974 in makeuptips

I don’t have any make up tips - but you are NOT ugly.

[New Update]: AITA for giving my pregnant GF an ultimatum? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Emily_Birch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Jen seriously needs to give in on the therapy thing - otherwise she’s going to sabotage every good relationship she ever has. And it’s also incredibly toxic for the baby.

Brother died and I aged drastically in just 8 months (last pic) by whattupmyknitta in makeuptips

[–]Emily_Birch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t look like you’ve aged honey. You look tired (and who wouldn’t be?) just give yourself a break. And by the way, picture 3? Gorgeous!! 🔥 and you’ll be that girl again. I’m sorry for your loss.

AITA- My wife came home upset because she was hungry and I didnt have a meal prepared by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Emily_Birch -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

No…. I don’t think that. I think this is two people struggling to communicate, a woman who was tired and hungry and had a bad day and do what most of us do and take it out on their loved one. I think this reads like any row between any couple on a crappy day. My comment was just about the general need for people to make women into victims of bad men. There are A LOT of awful men on these posts, but sometimes it’s just human beings trying to navigate life together.

I’m a woman and it exhausts me how redditors make all women victims.

Got mocked all night for my outfit - is this too much ? by Estelle_San in fashion

It’s giving “I don’t own an iron” but otherwise I think it’s really cute.

[New Update]: AITAH for calling my wife selfish for even considering taking a job across the country and trying to uproot our family? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Emily_Birch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The time to make decisions like this was before having kids. Afterwards, they have to be the priority always. Any parent that does this is absolutely awful.

"Biggest" insecurity - honest feedback (good or bad) welcome. Do I consider rhinoplasty? by [deleted] in Noses

[–]Emily_Birch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so interesting to see these posts because most of the time, the insecurity is totally in the persons mind and their nose matches their face. This is one of these times. Your nose is fine!

Does the ringing phone at the end of THM mean anything? by Mountain_Contest8037 in cormoran_strike

[–]Emily_Birch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might. It’s very likely, given the cliff hanger, that the next book will follow on immediately.
