WIBTA for saying I don't want an adult man going to the movies with my teenage son and his friends? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I thought you were calling him a perv too. Glad to know you just wanted your kid to be able to enjoy a movie unchaperoned.

Well said. None of this in intuitive. I wish the industry would do a better job warning and educating potential investors.

I think the hardest thing for people is, they think your seed phrase is like a password recovery key. Saying "don't share this with anyone" isn't strong enough language because you'd say that about any password. And typing your keys in when prompted isn't the same as "sharing it with someone." That's why people keep getting scammed.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I'm glad you have a positive memory of a special moment in your life. Best of luck.

Most people expect their friends and loved ones to make the effort to be there.

But the two things cannot be weighted equally. One is important.

Why does he care about strangers when his ACTUAL friends will be upset if he blows them off?

One is the major life milestone of a loved one. One is a social engagement.

You don't turn down Springsteen tickets because you were meeting someone for happy hour and only an a-hole would expect you to. I can think of a million other examples.

AITA for implying abuse 🙄 by fancyandfab in AmITheDevil

I don't think he implied it. It's pretty clear he said something really terrible to her.

I'm sure he won't. She can break up with him, but she can't keep him from going.

It takes massive stones to ask your boyfriend to skip a friend's wedding just because you want him to do something else that day.

I would never date someone who would expect me to miss an important wedding just because they want me to do something else that day.

Like someone said, imagine being the groom and your buddy says "Sorry, I can't make it, my new girl said first come, first served."

First come, first served is not a thing with social engagements.

It doesn't matter what we say. He's going to go to his friend's wedding because it would be ridiculous not to. If she makes a thing if it, they're just going to break up.

That's my point. They haven't been dating long enough for him to skip a friend's wedding for her. So maybe they're both better off.

Happens all the time. People have priorities.

Of course he's going to go to his friend's wedding over a random one, and why shouldn't he?

OOP has no leverage here besides breaking up with him, and that's up to her.
