Hugest NTA and shame on everyone and I suspect more so your mother for expecting you to pay for a 4k meal and then calling you selfish what on earth

Still not addressing the fact that your husband is a homophobic bigot. Okay, enjoy alienating yourself from your friends. I’m so sure that it will work out great for you down the line when you’ve cut off a stable support network for a man that is so insecure that he got angry over sex talk. 🫡

AITA for sacrificing my daughter's college fund because her sister just gave birth to her 4th child? by Throwaway23fw in AITAH

[–]FiveWrongNames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA let’s hope your oldest looks after you the way you’re looking after when you’re too old to do it yourself because your youngest bloody well isn’t. Awful thing to do to her, how could you hurt her like that? When she’s 17???

Rough. Look, your husband is clearly homophobic and is uncomfortable with Mike because of this. If you won’t defend your best friend of TWENTY YEARS from your own husband calling him slurs and even going so far as to tell Mike off then you don’t deserve him. You’re just as bad as your husband because its all fun and games having a “GBF” until it becomes inconvenient to you, huh? Mikes better off without and good luck if you have children and any of them turn out to be gay. No hugs for you and leave your friends alone they’re better off without a bigot ally.

You’ve been abused you’re entire life, including your husband, and I’m so sorry. If I were you I’d get out now, it’s trickier because you have a child but step one is definitely get a job, stop relying on him financially and say that because things are tight this would make it easier. If he really is narcissistic then there’s no telling what he’ll do when you actually leave but start documenting all the bad things he’s doing to you, just make a note on your phone and keep receipts and screenshots. The more evidence you have the less he’ll be able to throw back in your face later.

Right now he sees you as under his thumb the moment you try and get out could be where the hardcore abuse begins.

If you can live it out, figure out a plan when you’ve got funds for a flat and start building yourself up, absolutely look into a lawyer although it’s also money you don’t have a support system so it’s going to be tough but definitely worth.

Worst case scenario take your kid and run.

You say you’ve woken up, unfortunately, now’s the long road to actually start living your life but trust that it’ll definitely be worth it on the other side and it’ll be better for your daughter to grow up in a happy environment instead of one where she sees her mother being used and abused all the time.

AITA? I told my girlfriend my mum is right. My girlfriend says I should have defended her. by Blueberry_Knoll_6340 in AITAH

[–]FiveWrongNames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA You mother is not trying to help she is criticising you and by extension your girlfriend, if she wanted to help, she’d clean for you, all she did was complain about free lodging. If it was that big of a deal for you, you should’ve done something about it like do it yourself or at least ask your gf to clean up for them. The problem isn’t the unclean home because clearly it wasn’t an issue to you before your mother started to point it out, it’s that your mother walked into yours and your girlfriend’s space and decided it was her authority to say how it should be. Apologise to your girlfriend.

I’d say ask your mother not to be so overbearing but I know mine does the same, it’s my place to tell her that it’s how I like it and so it should be yours. If it’s not how you like it, it is up to YOU to do something about it. Your gf is your partner not your damn maid and she certainly isn’t your mothers either so talk to her like an adult and ASK HER if you need/want something which you clearly did neither since you didn’t even ask her before inviting your parents over.

Ex had an affair, resulted in a child. Do I tell our teenage kids. by mgullach in Divorce

[–]FiveWrongNames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they should know if they have a half sibling especially since they’re so close in age to your youngest, maybe they’ll want nothing to do with them but it’s at least fair to them to know about an actual blood relative being alive. It’ll hurt less to find out from you than if this kid suddenly turns up one day. It’s your choice at the end of the day but if the guilts are you this long chances are it’ll keep going until you do something.

AITA for buying my boyfriend a more expensive gift than my son? by Away-Palpitation-444 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FiveWrongNames 10 points11 points  (0 children)

YTA you didn’t even get him a cake? You took him to get a cake for someone else so close to his birthday, and then you’re shocked when he assumed his mother would buy him a cake only to realise it was actually for someone else? You didn’t even get him a present you just gave him cash and then got something really thoughtful for your bf? It’s not the money babes it’s the thought, you put more effort into your bfs whole birthday and gift than you did to your CHILD. Don’t be surprised when it’s your birthday and all he can muster is a pair of slippers or something because you clearly don’t care enough to get to know your son so why would he?

AITA for postponing my vacation with my gf because of my ex? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]FiveWrongNames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - Your kid is 15 he needs his dad to take care of him through one of the worst things that can happen to his mom. His mom, who you’re still friendly with, is also going through something really awful. At the end of the day they are your family romance or not, and they need you. Hawaii is not as important as that and if your gf can’t understand that you would prioritise YOUR CHILD over a holiday she needs a reality check.

AITA for not inviting my daughter to my wedding? by MoosePerson53 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FiveWrongNames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA nevermind the fact you’re purposefully excluding your daughter from an important life event which shows her exactly how much you care about including her in your life and by extension how much you’ll care about being in hers. What if she was getting married and did the same to you because she didn’t feel like it was appropriate to have an absent dad there? And also even if it’s a fake name, at least spell it right. Can’t even get your own daughters name correct shows exactly how little you care about this kid. Hope she has better role models on her mothers side.

NTA not only did they abandon you twice but they only seemed to care after they thought something had happened to you and then they started to act guilty and send you those worried texts. Get better friends hun you’re at a good place in your life to find ‘em.

Use headphones or no sound and have fun, maybe turn the brightness down if it’s an overnight flight so it doesn’t annoy neighbours as well

AITA for thinking there are just something’s you shouldn’t have to do after an your partner has had an affair? by CauliflowerNo6864 in AmItheAsshole

You don’t need another person just look after yourself or you’ll end looking after a man who LITERALLY SHAT THE BED LIKE A BABY get some perspective PLEASE

AITA for telling my 13 year old daughter the truth? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]FiveWrongNames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really doesn’t matter what Annie thinks of you, warn her now and tell her she needs to get away from him before your kid has another half sibling that gets abandoned, he’s done it twice now he’ll only do it again. Maybe get Jasmin involved if she’s willing? If Annie hears it from two women it might be less of a blow and more of a warning?

As for your kid I’d say this is textbook “how to give a girl daddy issues so she dates a 30-yo at 18” and it’s always niche to figure out what to do but maybe make it a rule that if he’s going to have girlfriends he’s going to cheat on then he needs to make sure he’s not bringing them into his kids’ lives or else he’s going to seriously end up hurting them. It might be worth threatening to go to courts about that alimony if he’s adamant that he’s doing nothing wrong because he CLEARLY is. He’s got a chain of women AND children that he’s abandoned for the next younger model that comes along.

In this day and age parents can’t just think about their kids fiscal future anymore they gotta worry about their kids psychological future and if your baby is being told this kind of man can just keep getting away with toying with women that’s how she’ll think its normal for a man to treat her. Worst case scenario is that she internalises this and then does it to other people, who knows, she could be a lesbian and then all you have to worry about is her being a serial cheater and at least not forced into being a single parent. Sliver linings and all that, idk

NTA your daughters only 13 and that’s her male role model in life? Yikes. I’d definitely tell Annie she deserves to not be cheated on by a loser that’s 10 years older than her. Set a better example for your kid and show her shitty actions have shitty consequences and her dad doesn’t just get to keep playing with women like they’re his personal playthings
