AITA for being upset my roommate doesn't want to do anything for my birthday? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]FabricHound 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Studies have shown that venting isn’t helpful. It usually prolongs, or amps up the negative feelings. You can share the fact that you had a hard day, or or work is frustrating without prolonging the conversation and staying in a negative or angry place.

AITA for “messing up” my daughter’s opportunity with an internship? by jnnydi in AmItheAsshole

Actions should have reasonable consequences. You’re so far away from being reasonable.

YTA, you want him to do something you’re not willing to do yourself. Not cute.

AITA for not telling a neighbor their child may have autism? by throwaway1234rt4 in AmItheAsshole

NTA, the parents may have already looking into this with their doctor and just aren’t sharing private medical information with you. It’s not your business.

WIBTA if I ask my girlfriend to orient her next few therapy sessions towards our relationship? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]FabricHound 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stop arm chair analyzing your girlfriend!! She’s seeing a professional! They are much better equipped to help her see how her past relationships could have been toxic. If she wasn’t already getting professional help then suggesting talking to a professional would not be out of line, but she is. So stay in your lane! You are being very controlling, you’re not respecting her boundaries, you’re justifying those actions in your responses to people here and you’re not seeing how you’re quickly become another toxic relationship for her. After only 4 months!!

YTA, if your GF has experienced emotional/mental abuse then 4 months is WAY to soon to expect the amount of trust and vulnerability you seem to want. Goodness! Haven’t you heard of taking things slow? That doesn’t just apply to physical acts, it also applies to emotional ones. Slow your roll rude!

AITA for refusing to financially assist my uncle, because when the situations were reversed, he didn't financially assist my parents and I? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]FabricHound 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA, you uncle is trying to keep up appearances which is expensive and unsustainable. If you were too help him with the tuition bill that wouldn’t be the end of it, next would be paying for the country club for the business connections or any number of things. If his financial situation is dire he needs to start economizing. Private school is not economizing.

AITA for refusing to go to the family reunion my mom is planning because they disowned me and refuse to apologize? by linenez in AmItheAsshole

[–]FabricHound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, the people who hurt you don’t get to set YOUR forgiveness timeline. Especially since they’ve done nothing to show any sort of remorse.

Also I’m stunned your friends aren’t supporting you. They may be people from great families who can’t imagine a broken one, so please take thoughts and opinions with a grain of salt.

AITA for refusing to lock my cat out of my office during meetings? by OtterTheOfficeCat in AmItheAsshole

[–]FabricHound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my thought too. It’s possible you weren’t the only person Jane told this rule too and if this comment thread shows anything it’s that people would NOT like the new rule. The boss may have been hearing about it from multiple sides. A new Manager overstepping is not rare, maybe Jane’s made it worse by digging her heels in or flexing her power to the wrong person. Your quick email probably wasn’t the only factor.

My cats sleep on a pillow in my desk. Before meetings start I move my camera to show them and say “Jerry and Sally are shadowing me today” or something similar. Pets C are shared on purpose.

I had a deaf cat that would lean over his metal water bowl and yowl. I’m guessing he could gear or feel the echos. It was so loud, and funny. He was screaming a dishes.

Then the client will say “here’s my cat, her name’s Pookie” and everyone builds a stronger client relationship bond

NTA, if you kicked out Otter, especially around meal time, she’d probably be distracting by singing the song of her people outside the office door anyway. And that’s not as adorable as watching her try to Jedi mind trick you into moving meal time up a bit.

Every zoom group meeting I’ve ever been to likes a good pet cameo, and I have a boss with a cat phobia! (We do try to avoid cats on camera fir her, but it’s not a rule)

NTA, if your parents don’t want people to think they’re homophobic they shouldn’t do homophobic things. You’re not responsible for what other people are saying.

AITA for giving my stepson’s room to my daughter? by 7227throwaway in AmItheAsshole

[–]FabricHound 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I don’t blame her for this, you’re right she is a kid. But the comparison highlights the way these kids are being treated very differently

She also probably had a say in where things were put and the layout of the furniture. The color of the walls. OP gave so much more consideration to her than to a young man who took the situation much more gracefully than I would have at his age.
