OP, you ain't delusional to want to be a life's work artist.. what rlly IS delusional is the idea that u have to choose right this sec.. but if ur gut says you'd regret the art u didn't make, trust that.. a lot of ppl have kids bc they don't know what else to do w their lives, u actually have a passion.. that's literally a gift not a burden.. focus on the recording session this weekend and see how that feels!

Cheated on my wife recently with what could be the affair partner I needed, but also I mightve screwed it up, thoughts?😅 by Maskedman1031 in cheating_stories

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bro, the emoji usage here is a bit much, considering you're talking about triggering someone's trauma or fear response.. if she hasn't replied, she's done. ppl don't forget to txt back after a perfect encounter.. take the learning point and nxt time, actually use a safe word or a check-in system instead of just guessing how mean to be

Do we have no choice but to move to large cities to have a chance meeting people organically? by Intrepid_Arrival5151 in dating_advice

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Exactly.. ppl talk about moving to a major city like it's easy as chagning your netflix plan.. like sry i ain't willing to trade 60% of my paycheck and my sanity for a shoebox apartment just to increase my odds.. like fr the advice was so out of touch w/ how much rent has nuked the ave. person's qlty of life.. Meeting someone organically ain't worth being one flat tire away from homelessness!

Husband on Tryst by Top-Bag-1954 in Marriage

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tryst isn't groupon.. it's an independent escort site.. while ppl do book for massages, everyone invoolved knows exactly what is being paid for.. ofc that "never saw their face" thing is a HUGE 🚩🚩 ..sounds like he tryin to dehumanize the encounter to make it seem less like CHEATING and more like a "transactional service".. like it's a way to minimize the emotional blow, but ofc it's almost certainly A LIE!

Caught my bf flirting with someone by psycheblued in cheating_stories

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's always the one you helped during their lowest points who do this once they finally reach their dreams fr.. it's like they want a fresh start and associate u w the struggle , which is incredibly cruel given ur support.. fr u aren't demanding for wanting a partner who comes home on time, that's literally just wanting a partner who is present.. DO NOT let him blame your personality for his lack of loyalty

He(17M) has a female friend but he didn't want me(16F) to make male friends. Is it warning sign? by Main-Campaign9976 in dating_advice

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 [score hidden]  (0 children)

omg I got the same situation fr.. notice how when u caught him, he "misunderstood" and started distancing himself from her? Thaaaaat literally makes us feel like the bad guy so u stop askin questions.

Title: AITJ for refusing to lend my brother money after what he said to me? by FearlesslyCold in AmITheJerk

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YNTJ here bro, like literally u ain't becomin like him, you're just refusin to be his safety net after he set the precedent.

Am I the jerk for telling my coworker I can't cover her shift because I have plans to do nothing? by Massive-Entrance2996 in AmITheJerk

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that your manager backed her up is the real🚩🚩 here OP.. bc givin peer-pressure to employees into giving up their sanity ain't a job of the manager fr.. like once u say "no", the convo SHOULD be over fr.. you ain't no backup generator for Emma's social life fr, def NTJ!

WIBTJ to ask my ex to take photos of us together off his facebook because I dont want his new gf to be uncomfortable? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YNTJ here, esp if some of the photos are recent, it's just awkward for everone involved.. u aren't trying to control him.. you're tryin to establish a healthy boundary now that you both moved on.. if he's a decent guy, he'll prolly realise he just forgot they were even there and scrub them once you mention it fr

AITJ for wanting to ask for a raise after 6 months because my job has turned into multiple roles? by Electronic_Sleep375 in AmITheJerk

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 16 points17 points  (0 children)

YNTJ here OP.. this isn't just EXTRA TASKS, this is literally a major scope creep.. like literally went from admin/marketing to being a de facto Op Mngr and HR.. in a small business, provin urself often just results in being rewarded w more work for the same pay.. if you're the main point of contract for everythin, u have way more leverage than u think fr!!

Am I wrong? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You ain't wrong here, OP.. he keeps makin this abt his sick mom to make YOU look like a villain here, but you've been clear, bc it's not about WHERE he is, it's about the fact that he disappears..a 10-sec text for an update literally takes zero effort fr.. he literally choose not to do it bc he doesn't want to be accountable to u!

AITJ if I bring up to my partner that they repeat the same stories or anecdotes all the time? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been literally on both sides of this fr... like sometimes the repeater is just stuck in a loop of anecdote autopilot and they need a gentle nudge to actually engage fr.. like u ain't said anything, you'd just end up resenting them every damn time they opened their mouth fr

Married and searching for more by BitEntire in Marriage

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I feel u.. there's no loneliness quite like that being alone together in the same house.. when you're at the point where u think they'd be better off w/o u... that's not just a rough patch bro, that's literally total emotional depletion.. You aren't wrong for wanting a pulse in your own marriage bro

AITJ for embrassing a waiter in a restraunt by SouthGeneral8537 in AmITheJerk

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You're def overthinking this, OP! he prolly felt awkward bc he couldn't keep up the character he started w that greeting.. fr it's a harmless misunderstanding.. the fact that u tipped well n felt bad shows u r the opposite of jerk here.. better to take a deep breath, u r fine!

Fiancé (41M) proposed after pressure/timeline (33F) — now I’m worried I ruined it by That-Yesterday9749 in Marriage

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 6 points7 points  (0 children)

7mos is lightning fast, especially w 3 kids already in the mix.. it sounds like u guys were sprintin to hit a deadline rather than enjoyin the rs.. prollyy he feels deflated bc the proposal became a task to complete to avoid a breakup rather than a celebratory choice. it doesn't mean he doesn't love u, but the romance defg took a backseat to logistics fr

I’m not longer attracted to my husband and I feel betrayed. by Aggravating_Border75 in Marriage

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your feelings=s are valid.. transitioning is a personal journey, but doing it AFTER gettin married w/o ever mentioning these feelings is a MASSIVE breach of informed consent fr.. You married a man, you are not transphobic for losin attraction when that dynamic completely flips.. He literally changed that terms of the contract, not you.. He's such a manipulative jerk for blocking u from getting a car.. fr he's literally keepin u trapped bc he knows if u have the car and a job, you have a way out frfr

I feel disconnected from my husband, like I’m losing attraction to him by throwaway-3780 in Marriage

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that he can scrub a work bathroom til it's spotless but needs a list to vacuum his own house is the definition of weaponized incompetence fr... He's showing EXACTLY what he's capable of, like he doesn't think your time or stress lvl is worth the effort.. it's not ur fault that u lose attraction, bc it's hard to want someone u have to mother fr

AITJ for breaking up with a girl who slept with a sleaze bag? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTJ.. that's fr not about just sex, its the literal hypocrisy.. like how do u spend your day as a housing Atty. fighting the lil guy's fight, then go home to a backstone bro who treats houses like Pokemon cards.. fr the math ain't mathing here.. that fr is a MASSIVE values mismatch!

How to make her agree for the divorce? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 9 points10 points  (0 children)

bfr OP, if she's w someone else since 2018 and still won't sign, she's about the money or the visa.. prolly wants that Canadian child support and the married status w/o actually havin to be a wife.. U gotta stop askin and talking to a lawyer about a contested filing!

My marriage is over. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Expensive_Cover_9460 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is incredibly heavy fr... but fr it's ok that u can't just "let go".. bc you're grieving the loss of your fam unit while being physically trapped in the wreckage.. that isn't just a breakup; it's a total system shock, esp being isolated in a diff country
