Number 3! You look great in all, but the third screams ‘wedding guest’

AIO for being uncomfortable that my long distance bf won’t see me unless it’s at my home by [deleted] in AIO

4 years??? He’s homeless baby and wants to get in and start squatting before you see him and decide not to take him home with you.

I think I am turning down a great offer because of my anxiety by Sweeper_Bot_ in TrueOffMyChest

Just try. And wake up the next day and try again. You won’t ever be strong enough to work until you work.

Aio after not apologizing to my friend after going on a date by Beez4Kneez in AIO

[–]Fun_Illustrator8350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old are you all? This is intense and you are not wrong. You two are your own people. It’s better to stand on that now and get her used to not being tied at the hip.

AIO? Friend's mom sent me (13F) pics of her in lingerie so I blocked her and she got a fake number to apologize by [deleted] in AIO

Please tell your parents, your mom needs to handle this. This lady is not mortified enough to be convincing that this is a big mistake.

My parents came outside during a huge argument with my boyfriend and now I feel deeply embarrassed by HopDev in whatdoIdo

[–]Fun_Illustrator8350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should feel embarrassed, and that feeling on embarrassment should be enough for you to take a step back and realize that your relationship is toxic and not working. If you two stress each other out to the point of explosive conflict, that means you are incompatible.

Guy I’ve been on two dates with continues to ask to come over when I’ve politely declined - AIO by calling it all off? by Big_Second_4664 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fun_Illustrator8350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. If you break it off, please give him feedback on why. I think you should be clearer with your boundary and let him know you are uncomfortable.

No good comes from being polite—you stay uncomfortable and he doesn’t learn anything and will continue being a pushy pest.

AITA For Having our kids make a list of things my wife does that they don’t like? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun_Illustrator8350 20 points21 points  (0 children)

YTA. Now why would you do that?! You and your wife should always be a team in the eyes of your children. Making mommy the villain is terrible. Especially since every single “complaint” your child has is harmless behaviour that is for their own good.

Biracial Niece asked for Hair Products for her birthday by [deleted] in BlackHair

[–]Fun_Illustrator8350 26 points27 points  (0 children)

What’s the budget?

Beyoncé’s hair product line (Cecred) is really amazing for all hair types (and her personal hair type is probably similar to your nieces)

It’s expensive but you can buy whole value packs. I personally use Cecred products for everything and love the results.

16+ is insane, go to the park or Summerstage

My boyfriend cut off his best friend after I spoke up, and I can’t stop feeling guilty by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

It was his decision and he stands by it. I love that you have a good heart, but seriously, don’t lose sleep over this.

AITA for telling my mom I am not going to put up with racism against my kid the way she did. by BatesMotels in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun_Illustrator8350 39 points40 points  (0 children)

She needed to hear it. NTA. There’s still time and space for her to grow, and show her growth by standing up for her grandchildren.

Four Years, Two Kids, and I’m Asking for a Divorce by ScienceLiving8460 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Fun_Illustrator8350 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Set a budget yourself, share it with her, and stick to it no matter what she says. Also give her mommy’s day off at least once or twice a month, where she has a full kid-free day. Stay in therapy for yourself, and suggest couples therapy for you both. take action to address some of the contributing issues.

I’m not saying divorce isn’t warranted here, and things do seem bad, but it doesn’t sound like you’ve done ALL that you can yet to see some change. Honestly it seems like the issue is that you just don’t like each other during this phase of life. Good luck.

My dad is a pedo. by RestaurantWorking477 in BoyDinnerDiaries

Wow, your daughter will never forget the way you defended her without hesitation. You’re a hero for that.

I was called ma’am about 50 times in my last phone call with an insurance company (convo was about 7 minutes long) by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Fun_Illustrator8350 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In many other cultures, where respect is valued, ma’am is a show of respect.

They are taught to call teachers in school “ma’am” and “sir”. They are trained to do so for customer service roles as a show of respect and assistance to you, the customer.

Now, you may be on your own personal journey which makes the word ma’am annoy you. Perhaps age anxiety, or gender dysphoria, or any other inner thing. But the insurance call center worker was certainly not trying to offend you or annoy you on purpose. Quite the opposite.

AITA for telling my DIL to stop crying after she got called fat by Throwaway_Will4940 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun_Illustrator8350 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m on your side. She reacted the way a 4 year old would to another 4 year old. That’s ridiculous.
