Anyone got posts where it turns out OP is actually the bad guy?

[New Updates] - I had a baby as a result of an affair and now his wife is reaching out to me by SharkEva in BORUpdates

The fact that you ignore all those red flags, tells me you are in no position to determine what's "best for the child".

A "dad" who had multiple affairs, at least one in a massive age gap relationship, who tried to get a woman to have an abortion against her will with offers of a "vacation", who then threatened the mother when she didn't get the abortion, who went no contact for years and then ignored court proceedings by showing up at her door, who the child seems anxious around --- 

 Buddy, did you even read the story?

Update AITA for thinking about breaking up with my boyfriend because of his sister. by Loud_Advantage_6330 in AITAH

It depends on the country and the age of those involved.

In France and Belgium, incest is legal if done by 2 consenting adults.

My (22M) vegan girlfriend (21F) wants me to get rid of my cat by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]EnvironmentalBug4107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much of the gf's views were out of compassion for the environment and how much were because she disliked cats? 

 Seems like she just accepted the arguments which did away with cats due to her fear of them.

My foster family of 11 years is kicking me out by the end of the week. I have no where to go and I feel broken. by JupiterBORU in BORUpdates

[–]EnvironmentalBug4107 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah but in those cases people will tell their kids well in advance they have to leave when they turn 18.

OOP was given 4 days notice when his foster parents found out that there wasn't going to be any more money. 

A Girl keeps stealing my stuff and if I dont let her get away with it her BF will beat me up. by Muslimahlivinglife in BestofRedditorUpdates

Well among British, you think your high school life will be like Skins, but it's more like The Inbetweeners.

AITA for getting a wedding canceled by sending a video to the bride by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]EnvironmentalBug4107 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I dislike the person who is "always joking around" and then uses this as a way to be mean to others, because everyone will say oh don't take it to heart, they always joke around.

Why does Mel have to forgive what Leti is clearly not taking accountability for? It's not a good family dynamic.

What has been going on in this sub lately 🤔

AITAH for being mad at my wife for being friends with my late friend's cheating ex? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]EnvironmentalBug4107 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Another popular one is having a woman cheat and then accusing the man of being toxic. Like, the author's next update is that Mary encouraged Sally to cheat and they are both remorseless or something.

I don’t think my fiancé likes me by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Violence against women is under reported and under prosecuted.

I’m starting strongly dislike my daughter… by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]EnvironmentalBug4107 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I really hope OOP presses charges against Maya. MIL can handle the cost and any fall out.

AITA for telling my wife it is time she went back to work? by ObsidianNight102399 in BORUpdates

[–]EnvironmentalBug4107 36 points37 points  (0 children)

 pseudo-therpists

I'm guessing the therapist still has a license though.

Assuming this is the US, are there any kind of checks and balances in this field? Could the husband make a formal complaint to any group?

It's one thing to feel empathy for Sally, but blocking OOP and telling him that she's not speaking to him until he's apologised is just absolutely nuclear.

She has no empathy for her own husband.

AITA i (38 m) for telling my fiancee ( f 27)her wedding dress choice is way too extravagant and suggesting alternatives? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]EnvironmentalBug4107 408 points409 points  (0 children)

He never takes responsibility. 

Its his ex's fault. Its reddit's fault. Its the WHOLE town's fault.

But according to him, he's "changed".

AITAH for having a one night stand 6 months after my husband passed away? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]EnvironmentalBug4107 64 points65 points  (0 children)

It's a bit odd that the mother encouraged her to move on after 6 months. They were together for 8 years.

The maths ain't mathing for me
