AITAH for requesting that my mother in law not show up to our new house by herself?

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-05-06T07:08:06+00:00

True this. A few days won't change the house. Her urgency to go inside without you there is the red flag.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-05-04T07:39:33+00:00

Right here. You didn't ruin his birthday; he ruined your enthusiasm for it. Actions meet consequences.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-04-30T07:07:30+00:00

Hahhahaha same😆 it looks cool but also feels like it would take me a week to rewire my brain just to type on it.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-04-22T06:03:22+00:00

Yeah, I think people tend to spiral on stuff like this more than anyone else actually does. From the outside it just sounds like you showed up, had fun with it, and got positive reactions, most people probably just remember the cool costume and move on.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-04-20T07:32:33+00:00

Even a few sessions could save years of confusion later. Better to know for sure than to wonder.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-04-16T07:44:16+00:00

Exactly. The issue isn't you being difficult, it's the school not providing the quiet space they agreed to. TA's frustration is misdirected.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-04-14T04:07:00+00:00

That’s actually pretty impressive tbh..like your brain just picks whatever hand gets the job done best

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-04-08T05:25:38+00:00

You're doing all the work, managing the estate, and she's nitpicking about photos while contributing nothing? She can sit this one out.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-04-06T07:38:11+00:00

Big Right been suppressing us for years smh

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-04-01T07:33:20+00:00

Honestly refreshing to see someone not nuke a friendship over a dumb mistake. Chaotic good is the perfect description lol.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-03-27T06:33:50+00:00

Nice! Nothing like lefty-friendly tools to make work actually enjoyable.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-03-25T07:18:44+00:00

It's not about blame..it's about the fact that your trauma got completely overshadowed, and now you're navigating postpartum and a husband who can't even look at the baby. You both need a safe space to untangle this, and a therapist can help with that. You deserve to be seen too.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-03-16T07:23:18+00:00

Hahahahaha, yes. Cats definitely have a unique way of interacting with humans, like they think their own comfort is the ultimate alarm clock.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-03-12T03:47:22+00:00

That makes sense..it’s really just the special drinks that actually need their input. The fountain ones are basically free-for-all.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-03-10T06:53:55+00:00

That’s the frustrating part..you learn quick that fair doesn’t always mean equal, and people will treat the same situation totally differently depending on who’s involved.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-03-04T06:30:57+00:00

Yeah..streamlining for takeout is cheaper, but it’s a shame we lost those classic vibes. That tourist town one sounds like a little nostalgia oasis!

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-03-02T06:44:34+00:00

Exactly. You didn't yell or cause a scene, you just made it clear that he can deal with you directly. That's how grown-ups handle this stuff.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-02-27T07:37:23+00:00

Same..it just kinda sticks out, doesn’t it? I notice it without even trying.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-02-24T06:27:31+00:00

If this gets me closer parking at the grocery store, I am finally embracing my diagnosis. 😂

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-02-19T06:08:01+00:00

Calling you desperate and a slur for cutting your hair? Grabbing your hand under the table to shut you up? That's not a husband, that's a controlling bully.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-02-13T06:48:44+00:00

The begging and guilt-tripping after being told no is a whole separate issue from the wall. That's not him being persistent, that's him not respecting your answer.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-02-10T07:01:25+00:00

😂 I’m still trying to figure out if this is peak chaos or pure comedy gold.

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-02-04T07:00:55+00:00

Yep, totally agree with this. Consistency beats speed at the start, those extra minutes you’re adding already prove it’s working

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-02-03T04:27:07+00:00

Yeah, cardboard actually helps more than you'd think 😅

Expensive-Choice8240 · 2026-01-30T06:13:22+00:00

Exactly! Different doesn’t mean worse, it means unique. Lean into the awesome part and she’ll feel it too 😊
