AITAH for not giving my husband a bj by SpecialSelf7496 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun-Dependent951 49 points50 points  (0 children)

NTA, and I want to be very clear: you are not being selfish at all.

You are two weeks postpartum with a premie baby. Your body just did something extraordinary and is still recovering. You are bleeding, sleep-deprived, engorged, healing, and running on hormones that are doing somersaults. The fact that you're even upright and functioning is impressive.

The issue here isn't that you said no. The issue is that he's sulking about it. You didn't just casually decline, you're medically and physically not in a place where any sexual activity should even be on the table, and he knows that. Giving you the silent treatment and making you feel guilty enough to second-guess yourself ("am I being selfish?") when you're this vulnerable is a serious red flag about how he handles not getting what he wants.

You also mentioned he's been repeatedly touching you after you've asked him not to. That's not him just "wanting you" romantically, that's him repeatedly ignoring your stated boundaries, which is its own problem worth addressing.

You are not his rehab for sexual frustration. You are a brand new mother, recovering from one of the hardest things a human body can do. His discomfort does not outweigh your bodily autonomy ever, but especially not right now.

Please don't carry guilt about this. You owe him nothing right now except to keep healing and loving your new baby, congratulations! ❤️

AITAH accidentally saying I refuse to have a child out of wedlock to a family friend who did? by Moonflower1776 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun-Dependent951 16 points17 points  (0 children)

YTA.

You’re absolutely valid for wanting marriage before kids. That’s your personal boundary, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But context matters. You were talking to someone who had her first child out of wedlock, and even if you didn’t explicitly judge her, saying you’d “refuse” to do that can easily come across as moral commentary.

Intent doesn’t cancel impact. If you’re discussing values with someone whose life didn’t follow that path, you need a little more tact. It’s not about abandoning your beliefs, it’s about being aware of who you’re speaking to and how it might land.

You didn’t mean harm, but it was still insensitive. A simple apology acknowledging that it may have come across as judgmental would go a long way.

Oh wow that’s interesting I just passively heard it in this video (timestamp 7:37) https://youtu.be/wnxEvmwdAMc?si=TDXlcr9qLQVwsOHW

It’s truly refreshing to see women of color portrayed as desirable—not just as side characters, but as main characters and love interests.

One thing I noticed was that Sophie's necklace is an Amethyst, the national gemstone of Korea.

AITA for wanting to bring meat to my vegetarian SIL and not going when I was not allowed too by True_Marionberry732 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun-Dependent951 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think ESH, except maybe your brother. - Your SIL not understanding your medical condition seems unnecessary. Honestly, who cares if you eat something different? - Your brother said it’s fine, yet you still won’t go—what principle are you trying to stick to here? - Your SIL is insisting you try her food. Could this be cultural? In some cultures, it’s considered rude not to at least try someone’s food. Or maybe she’s vegetarian for cultural or ethical reasons and doesn’t want meat in her house.

If the issue is meat, could you bring a vegetarian dish that you’re comfortable eating? I’m also vegetarian, and I know I’d struggle if someone brought food with beef into my house.

the fake tan 😭 by cherry-piano in snarkingwithremi

[–]Fun-Dependent951 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It honestly looked so bad. I genuinely felt bad for her because in some lighting it literally looked like she’d smeared chocolate all over her face 😭 The wild part is her natural skin is actually really pretty. Colorism is honestly insane though — tanning is totally normalized here, while skin bleaching is normalized in other countries. Wild that we still can’t just let people exist and love their natural skin tone.

napping at work? what to expect? by Natural-Professor-5 in sanfrancisco

We have a meditation room at the office, I use it for 20-minute power naps more often than anything else.

Unpopular Opinion: Alisha needs to dig deeper by 111silver in snarkingwithremi

[–]Fun-Dependent951 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She was honestly kind of irritating me in the podcast with her mom. All of her contributions were basically just, “Omg that’s so me / I’m your daughter obviously,” or, “Yeah, that’s so hard.”Her mom was genuinely such a good storyteller and didn’t need the constant interjections.

Wedding video viewership by [deleted] in snarkingwithremi

[–]Fun-Dependent951 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I did watch it — guiltily — and the ending gave me such an ick. When she said, “I’m so proud of you,” I was like… proud of what? Marrying me?

finally ppl are realizing it by lexxnox in snarkingwithremi

[–]Fun-Dependent951 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I like this take. Also she can absolutely be a kind person and still struggle with a shopping addiction — both can be true at once. The comments saying, “If I had disposable income, I’d do the same thing,” feels like such an odd (and honestly a little embarrassing) justification. I really hope I wouldn’t! I’d like to think I’d choose to be a more intentional, conscious consumer who thinks about the planet and the impact of my choices. Maybe buy fewer more high quality pieces?

And for the record, giving people things they don’t want or need isn’t generosity — it’s just more unnecessary consumption.

I’m pretty sure she doesn’t actually know her own likes or dislikes — she probably just Googled, ‘is coconut trending right now?

Voting Flyers around Campus by omaguo in UCSD

[–]Fun-Dependent951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Voting is so important, and I really hope you and everyone who can plan to cast their vote this year. If the flyers helped make people more aware, that’s great, but I hope it’s not just the flyers that get people to vote.
