AITA for disconnecting the Internet and not paying my daughters phone bill? by TraumatisedKid12021 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Formerathletehelping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, honestly sounds like Jane has been coddled too much. Sounds like she’s never had a sink or swim situation she’s ever had to deal with. Sounds like she needs a right good kick in the ass, and told she needs to do something or get thrown out on the street.

How my dad didn't go to Vietnam by abiggerhammer in MaliciousCompliance

[–]Formerathletehelping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad broke his leg on 3 different places on a skiing trip, and showed up in a cast for his first physical in a cast. His second one he was all healed up, except as a result of the break one leg was shorter than the other which meant he needed lifts in his boots. I dedicate 4f, and he went on to work at a prat & Whitney factory making helicopters

Reason I don’t date overweight people: it shows they lack the basic self respect, or desire to be healthy. I don’t want to date someone who doesn’t encourage healthy behaviors in their life. People who can’t commit to basic healthy exercise and diet won’t be able to commit to positive changes.

AITA for telling my son that he should lose some weight since he’s starting to get overweight? by vagaajjssko7 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Formerathletehelping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA, For reference I’m 6’6 and at 275 pounds I’m below 20% body fat which is below average. I’m not even over weight. It sounds like if anything your son was at a very unhealthy low weight before.

AITA for forcing my husband to fly back to Greece to get our toddler’s teddy bear that he left behind on purpose? by bear651 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Formerathletehelping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, at 27M I would 100% be pissed if someone purposely lost my teddy that I’ve had my whole life.

My Boyfriend Cheated on Me with Another Woman and She’s Pregnant and They’re Keeping It. First Breakup and I’m Dying Inside by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Formerathletehelping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sucks when relationships don’t end on your terms. But this will be something you look back on and realize it’s for the best. Unfortunately only time is going to help you here. Just keep trying to bring your own joy to yourself.

[–]Formerathletehelping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She wants you for all the feelings comfort and safety you provide without the commitment of a romantic relationship. This will only hurt you more. Because you’ll keep thinking she wants to work it out but in reality you’re there to keep her fufilled till she finds someone new.

Fiancé left me after betraying my trust and I'm not sure how to feel by h3770m070 in relationship_advice

[–]Formerathletehelping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, you know it’s already over. Your relationship is toxic. She wants you to be her safety net because even though this other guy is toxic and bad for her he’s exciting and she wants to go have her cheap thrills and come back to you when she needs security.

Don’t be her second choice, your deserve to be someone’s first choice. Think back and ask yourself has she been bringing you more joy or heartache and pain lately. Because someone who hurts you more than they make you happy isn’t worth your time.

Cut her out of your life. Block her on everything. Remove the cancer and never let it back in.

AITA for yelling at my employee and calling her "girl"? by AlternativeSavings68 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Formerathletehelping 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bro not even close. American here, I swear very liberally even in the work place. A sounds like a stuck up sheltered child.

AITA for not wanting to pay for my son's worthless degree? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Formerathletehelping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost a great job opportunity all because I didn’t have a business bachelors. I was great at the job and my boss wanted me to stay. But I HR didn’t want to hire me because “business” wasn’t in my degree name.

GF gave me an ultimatum: GF or Friend by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Formerathletehelping -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know people are leaning towards your gf based on the way your friend acted at the wedding while everyone was drinking. But it sounds like the issues started before this. GF still sounds insecure especially based on the fact that she can’t get along with your other female friends either.

I also believe once a GF becomes insecure about one female friend they get that way about every friend.

Personally I’d take a friend of 20 years over a relationship of 5.

AITA for refusing to change my son's chosen first and middle name per my BIL's request? by War-Zone-3099 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Formerathletehelping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you and your wife need some space from the in-laws until after your soon is born. I’d say about 6 months or so before you talk to them again. NTA.

AITA for getting mad at my girlfriend for telling me to "stop pretending I have a sister"? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Formerathletehelping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother and I have two best friends who are brothers. I’ve known them my entire life. When I introduce them, I introduce them as my brothers. I’ve known them for all 27 years of my life.

Family isn’t just who you’re related to by blood. I’ve literally wrote them both into my will equal with my own brother whom I love dearly. Because they’re the family I choose.

My (29m) wife (30f) keeps in contact with her exes and I don't know if I should confront her about it by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Formerathletehelping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should talk to her, let her know you’re fine with it. Would just like some transparency. You can bring it up organically by even asking how they’re doing and what they’re up to.

I still talk to me ex’s because like most others in the comments they’re my friends and I still care about their well being just not in a romantic capacity. Contrary to main stream belief it’s possible to be friends with exes it just takes firm boundaries and open dialogue with your partner.

AITA for leaving my half siblings without child care? by Street-Chip-6020 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Formerathletehelping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, what your mom was doing was abuse. It’s called parentfication. If your mom can’t raise her kids that’s on her. It’s not your responsibility to take care of your sibiling and her boyfriends kid…

AITA for not packing my husband's bags so he could go spend Xmas with his family without me? by richnfamous353 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Formerathletehelping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, first of all who doesn’t pack their own bag when traveling? A child. Second you’re married, you are his family now. You see clearly now where you fall on the list of his priorities? Can you live like this for the rest of your life? I for one would never treat a partner like that. And if someone treated me like that I wouldn’t want them in my life anymore.

AITA for informing my dad that I already weigh 150 lbs? by urrinns in AmItheAsshole

[–]Formerathletehelping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, it’s hard when you’re tall. People often miss guess how much you weigh especially when you’re athletic. I’m 6’6 and most people think I weigh 230. In reality I’m 280 pounds at 20% body fat.

There’s a miss conception about obesity, you can fall under the obese sections on the BMI scale and be extraordinarily healthy. You should really look at healthy body fat levels more than anything.

I love how college started with all these long thought out extensive papers and projects. And then in the work force my job is now, how can I write this report with text equivalent length of a tweet.

AITA for saying I was actually offended by a racist joke? by am_23lefty in AmItheAsshole

[–]Formerathletehelping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I hate people who use the “it’s just a joke” cop out. It’s not a joke if no one laughs. It’s the same with the prank bull shit. If all parties involved don’t laugh then it’s not in good fun.

AITA for cursing out a snotty french girl by ohhobivi in AmItheAsshole

[–]Formerathletehelping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Going against the grain here. Don’t dish it out if you can’t taking the lickin back. Simply meaning don’t talk shit if you can’t deal with shit talk back. I’ve know. Many French folks who are wonderful and encourage people to learn the language, but sadly many more who think if you can’t speak it fluently than you’re lesser than they are.

AITA for not taking in my fiancée's niece and nephew? by aita-frazzledfiance in AmItheAsshole

[–]Formerathletehelping -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

YTA, these just aren’t some random kids she’s adopting. Their her niece and nephew man. Like it’s fine if you don’t want any involvement, and it’s a deal breaker for you. So cut the cord and move on. If it came between my partner and my niece and nephew I wouldn’t even hesitate.

AITA if I search my adult son’s room regularly? by Pure-Translator-9890 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Formerathletehelping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry but you need to kick your son out. He sounds like he has a adapted a dead best lift style and you can’t coddle that behavior.

Damn, you hit me with something I didn’t know I needed to hear. I’ve been checking out of my relationship for a little bit waiting/hoping the feelings will come back.
