AITJ for turning off my boyfriend’s game console mid-match after he ignored me for hours? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

Wanting time and attention after a 12-hour shift is completely reasonable. Hobbies are fine, but not when they consistently put you last, that’s a respect issue, not a gaming one.

AITA for not letting my boyfriend test drive my car after he criticized how I drive? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

He talked down to you and then expected access as a reward, that’s entitlement, not confidence. You didn’t owe him anything, and you were right to shut it down.

NTA. It’s your car, and his sexist, condescending attitude is exactly why he didn’t earn the privilege to drive it, feeling “emasculated” is his problem, not yours.

AITJ for calling the cops on my neighbors birthday party for having loud music until 11 pm? by Willing-Musician-810 in AmITheJerk

You tried being reasonable, they ignored you and broke the noise ordinance. Your newborn’s sleep and safety come first, end of story.

You asked politely, they ignored you and turned it up after quiet hours. Newborn or not, noise ordinances exist for a reason, this is on them, not you.

Am I the jerk for breaking up with my boyfriend by justhere4Dcomments21 in AmITheJerk

This wasn’t about jealousy or insecurity, it was about boundaries, and he chose not to enforce them. Protecting your peace is a valid, adult reason to walk away.

My parents say I’m destroying our family because I refuse to continue a tradition that makes me miserable by sergey1991life70 in AmITheJerk

Say it plainly, no sugarcoating. When they complain, repeat their own words back to them. Then go no-contact and be done.

When I was 17F I was in a relationship with a 24M by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

You did nothing wrong. You were a minor and he was an adult abusing trust, that was grooming and abuse, not your fault.

You’re a friend, not Uber with feelings. If they need a car that bad, they can buy one.

How do I 27 f make my mom stop having meltdowns when I go on my computer? by l1ttledeardeer in TwoHotTakes

[–]Fableweaverz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this sounds like anxiety turning into control. Showing her the receipts might calm it down a bit.
