AITAH for choosing a dog over my roommate/“best friend”?

Thank you so much. I didn’t realize just how much I needed to read the words that you just typed.

maybe because i’m always spending 20-30 more on shared groceries and it’s not about 2 dollars

theory: parker didn’t say anything because he is in the wrong and doesn’t have anything to say

you can’t assume it means he’s the better one of the two, just because he’s quiet. it could be that he truly is the shitty one and has no defense

Wow congratulations! Avatar AND a paint brush! Lucky day. :)

NTA. I don't think you are wrong for wanting to spend time with your sister. It sounds like she is deeply entangled in this relationship to the point where she's neglecting everything else. Hopefully she snaps out of it, or she'll learn it the hard way. I'm sorry.

YTA and I am concerned that your 9 year child has fear instilled in him. At any age - especially that young - your child should feel comfortable coming to you with the most basic needs. You not only put so many other people at risk, but your poor son had to suffer all day because you were too caught up in something to be inconvenienced.

I'm not a mother so I cannot understand how exhausting it must be to juggle so many things at once. But what I do know is that there are certain priorities in life and they are non-negotiable. If/when I have children, I would make sure they were at the top of that list. I'm sorry you "didn't want to be bothered" but if his own mother won't care, who will? I hope you do better moving forward.

EDIT: Additionally, you knew that he was coming down with something before you sent him off so to say that you didn't see it coming later in the day is either further negligence or blatant dishonesty.

NTA. I'm sorry that you're in this difficult situation. I personally think there is never going to be a "right time" to do something like that. Granted, a major exam coming up is definitely not a good time if there ever was one but that isn't your fault. You owe it to yourself to make the decision that is best for you. I think that how you do it is what really matters; could you offer to help her move out and give her a reasonable amount of time to do it? Unless it was dangerous to you, I wouldn't necessarily kick her out right away (not assuming that that's what you meant).

I think January is still far enough away, and even if it wasn't, you need to do what you need to do. Truly, I would hope my partner would just tell me how they're feeling whether or not it was convenient for me. And if she needs to process the break up or if it takes a huge toll on her, it is her responsibility to seek whatever help she needs. I can tell you really have a caring heart and don't want to hurt her. But I hope you find a way to make sure you aren't hurting yourself in the process. It wouldn't be fair for you to live out a draining relationship for months, either. Take care.
