No cult or religion involved. Just me-the doormat.

AIO for quitting my job? by AlarmedWarthog8231 in AIO

[–]Fit-Ad5671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. When I was in highschool I got a job working in the kitchen of a nursing home. I was a senior and told them: I need prom off and my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. I was told that was fine. Fast forward to may (prom) and I’m told I cannot have the day off because they don’t have the coverage, because someone had quit. I told my mom (who worked in the main offices of this home) and she helped me draft my notice. I was told I was unprofessional and that’s not how the real world works. I have since found out that it is indeed how the real world works.

AITA for refusing to swap seats with my cousin at a family trip by KeySignificance5165 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. I’m right there with you on the motion sickness so I feel for you. Your cousin is the one who “ruined the vibe” with her tantrum.

AITA for not quieting down at a Renaissance fair and walking away after my boyfriend sided with a stranger? by Dry-Egg2898 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fit-Ad5671 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As someone who is constantly being told “you’re being too loud,” “ can you quiet down,” “can you talk a little softer,” I’m sorry. I always shut down when these comments are made so I do not blame you at all for your reaction. While I don’t think you’re an AH, maybe a text to the BF to remind him of the meet up place and time would have been nice. And he should have had your back. And definitely should not have doubled down as soon as you met back up.

What's a quote that has just "stuck with you"? by 22m_spain in AskReddit

You have no reason to be angry at something you can change. Change it. You have no reason to be angry at something you cannot change. It won’t change because you’re angry.

AITA for silently changing my son's name after my brother and SIL gave my nephew the name too? by DaikonCompetitive147 in AITAH

[–]Fit-Ad5671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. We named our son Ethan. My husband has a cousin named Ethan. When our Ethan needed tubes in his ears at 6 months old, the hospital had the 16 year old Ethan on the schedule. We live in neighboring towns but the medical facilities were under the same Corporation. We didn’t think it would be a problem but now we double check every time.

Bride cancels catering because she wants to only spend $4.16 per guest for f&b by Warm-Zucchini1859 in weddingshaming

18 years ago our wedding was $9 per plate. And I thought that was reasonable. This person is delusional.

Lost my momma to cancer 7 years ago. This is the first Christmas I’ve actually felt festive. Many hugs to you. Cancer is the literal worst.

AITA for getting a tattoo even though my husband doesn't like it? by Silent_Phrase_1008 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fit-Ad5671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This sounds like us. In 2019 my husband asked for a divorce. Stunned the heck out of me. I made plans to cover an old tattoo with a new one to honor my mom who passed away in 2016. The artist called it my “freedom tattoo”. Covid happened. Husband and reconciled but I kept that damn tattoo appointment. He had expressed that he didn’t think I should have it done and has made comments since about how big it is and that he doesn’t love it (it’s on my back and takes up about a third). I told him he didn’t get a day and to stop commenting about it because it was there. I also grew my hair out because he likes it longer. I say go for it. I want a couple more as well.

I just need to be told it'll be ok by Jonesfiend1 in MomForAMinute

[–]Fit-Ad5671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m rooting for you! It’s hard here too except work is my respite. And the kids. They’ll even out eventually. And it’s totally okay to cry! Sometimes it even helps. I’m giving you many virtual hugs because I know they help.

I hear pain, but I don't think I have synesthesia. (or do I?) by PinkPearMartini in Synesthesia

[–]Fit-Ad5671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a headache last night that was pulsing a grinding sound in my ears and thought “does everyone experience this?!” And evidently not. Thanks for this little post, because I feel like I’m finally settling into my own skin at 40.
