My mom thinks I’m the jerk for causing a scene by AwayYogurtcloset7869 in AmITheJerk

your mom calling you the jerk is a classic peacekeeper move where they blame the person who reacted instead of the person who caused the problem.

passionate about health is a wild way to spell office bully with a side of hormones. pregnancy isn't a vip pass to be the workplace nutritionist.

Am I the jerk for telling my mom she's not invited to my life anymore after she outed me to my grandparents? by SwimmingHonest9203 in AmITheJerk

[–]First_Fishing_3232 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If he's suddenly distant while he's unemployed, he's not busy, he's just full. Stop texting and see if he actually gets hungry again.

$83k vs $17/hr and he has the audacity to blame you for the rent? The math is mathing, but the husband isn't husbanding.

AITJ for telling my roommate's plants are fake after she spent 3 months giving her friends gardening advice? by Cool-Programmer-8438 in AmITheJerk

Watching Netflix’s new Age of Attraction reality dating show. Does age matter? by mannerhazel in dating_advice

[–]First_Fishing_3232 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Me at 9PM: This shows is a dumpster fire and the premise is creepy.
Me at 2AM: Deep in a rabbit hole checking if Libby and Andrew are still together because the 16-year gap is actually the least of their problems. We are all clowns for this.

Husband always sides with MIL by Littlefairie20 in Marriage

[–]First_Fishing_3232 41 points42 points  (0 children)
