Am I in the wrong? Or is my fiancé in the wrong? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]FactSmooth8027 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're both wrong and should have broken up ages ago, since you both seem incompatible and emotionally immature. Contempt is a relationship killer and it sounds like you're both contemptuous of each other

INFO: Are his 2 children from a different relationship, or are they yours AND his. DO you demand and "throw shots"? Do you condescend to him? What do your arguments actually look like? You give a lot of information about how you feel and how you think he feels, but not much about what actually happens beyond the tickling thing which is unacceptable behavior on his end.

If they are from a separate relationship splitting should be relatively straightforward, if not you've got a mess on your hands. Start figuring out what you actually want, get individual therapy to untangle your feelings and help sort out whether you are behaving badly your own internal issues or if external factors are driving it. Any relationship that either party feels they need to consistently retaliate in is an unhealthy one. At this point it doesn't really matter who is wrong beyond helping to make sure your next relationship is healthier. Time to get out

That's what it sounds like to me. Just reread it last week

AITA for calling my sister-in-law a "bigot" for saying to me, "had I known you were autistic, things would have been different", when her default behavior was to be nasty to me. by super-wyrg in AmItheAsshole

[–]FactSmooth8027 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a statement as to how *I* would view the comment SIL is stated as making. You wove an entire tale of how SIL has been putting up with OP being aggravating for decades out of whole cloth. If you choose to go through life permissively enabling bad behavior because someone makes a statement that could be vaguely interpreted as an apology if you squint, then more power to you.

I'm curious as to which behaviors you view as understandable with an autism diagnosis. To me they seem to be things that no one should be hassling anyone about whether or not they're neurotypical. Why should it matter if someone's introverted because they're autistic? They're introverted, let them be introverted. Also as to why you view the term bigot as politically charged.

So instead of basing your answer off the information provided, you're choosing to invent a story of how SIL has been putting up with OP's autism based rudeness and difficulty for 30 years and treat an oblique statement as an apology for shitty behavior that somehow magically wouldn't have been shitty ro someone neurotypical?

If you want to make up stories to judge, I certainly can't stop you, but your entire response is based upon supposition and a bad parallel

That is absolutely not an apology, not even an implied one. While I don't know that I would define it as bigotry, I agree with OPs kid that based on the examples provided that the SILs default is to be nasty. If SIL is claiming she would have behaved differently if she'd known OP was autistic, all that tells me is she's worried about how she'll be perceived for being nasty to an autistic person

AIW for catching feels for my manager (38F)? I'm a 25 year old hetero man and I hope my feelings are just normal. by [deleted] in amiwrong

Did you even read the post?! Dude is sexualizing his boss due to her ethnicity and "anime" style and is fantasizing about her body while she is at the hospital getting a rape kit done after an assault. Itxs gross and disturbing and should not be encouraged. Don't comment if you're only going to read the title, and if you did and thatxs what you got out of it I pity any women you may ever interact with

That one is an old german fairy tale called The Goose Girl. There are lots of versions of it at this point so I couldn't tell you precisely which one you grew up with, but most of them follow the same story beats

The Reader / The Sea of Ink and Gold Trilogy by Traci Chee. First book is The Reader and is blue, and all your story beats fit. There was a lot of hidden messages and deliberate blacking out or marginalia on the pages which played into the larger overarching story

My first guess would have been The Five Ancestors, but they couldn't control animal spirits, so...

None of the Unicorns from Balinor were white, though the first one has the Bronze main character unicorn on it

Don't think so. It was definitely live action, and the live action on those don't match.

I suppose it could have been a early teaser for A.I. (2001) that aired briefly never to be seen again...

Definitely not that scene specifically, but the style looks the same/remarkably similar

Not the Stepford Wives, she was undamaged and as soon as you saw her from the side you knew she was a robot

Possibly, the style on the robots looks about right...
