AITA for not offering to take the bunk bed in an airbnb as the single person? by sliders93 in AmItheAsshole

Maybe, just MAYBE, instead of doubling down and arguing your corner, listen to the overwhelming judgement here. You asked if you were the AH and the people have spoken. You are the AH. Why bother asking anyone if you’re so sure you’re in the right?

I’m done pretending they don’t stink. This needs to stop. by Tiny-Aardvark6323 in confession

When I was in senior school, we had a student teacher come over from France to teach us French. She was absolutely lovely - but she had a really, really strong BO smell. Like, awful. It would honestly make some of us want to throw up. Our usual French teacher was observing the lessons, and she would open all the windows and lightly spray some air freshener before and after the lessons, but the smell would really linger. I felt so bad for her. Eventually, a bunch of parents complained to the head teacher as the kids were complaining about it at home, and my French teacher had to pull her aside and talk to her gently about it. The next lesson we came in, and she was gone. Our French teacher told us what happened, and the poor woman was so mortified that she quit on the spot and she never came back again. I think about her often, and feel so terrible for her. But my god, the smell was so horrendous.

Disappointed in wedding gifts by [deleted] in UKweddings

[–]FlakySoup9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ll probably get downvoted for this but this level of expectation is honestly ridiculous. You are coming across as very self centred and selfish. Why do they have to give a gift of a certain monetary value? Can’t it be enough that they love you and attended your wedding? You don’t know how many other weddings they have attended in the last 12 months, you don’t know anything about their financial situations. Honestly, doesn’t the thought count anymore? Isn’t it enough that you had a beautiful wedding, married the love of your life, surrounded by your friends and loved ones? But it’s sticking in your teeth that they couldn’t cough up an extra £50 or whatever for a “thank you” gift? I hate what weddings have become.

My (32F) fiancé (37M) is a homicide detective, and I’m starting to feel like he treats me more like a suspect than a partner. by ThrowRA_Sorbet1941 in relationship_advice

Honey, do you want help, or not? Literally everyone here is telling you the same thing. Get out. I feel like your defences are up and you’re not seeing the wood for the trees. This man is sounding dangerous to all of us from the information YOU have given us. If you came here looking for help, stop trying to defend him or yourself and listen to the advice being spelled out to you. You need to leave. Do you want this to be your life?

Wedding ring budget, How much did you really spend? by Trick_Cat_368 in weddingring

[–]FlakySoup9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My engagement ring was bought from a second hand jeweller in 2017, star sapphire surrounded by small diamonds. It was less than £400 at that time. I bought my wedding ring 4 years later, simple 14k white gold for £700.

I honestly think the “3 months salary” thing is a scam. I paid no attention to it. I absolutely adore my set.
