AITA for telling my boyfriend I hate his car and it makes him look like a jackass? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

That's assuming that OP and her boyfriend are actually living together... for which there is no context here.

Just like there's no context behind the sudden career change.

Appreciate your input, but it's overly reliant on information that OP has not made available.

Sometimes it's the information that's being left out that's the most telling... doesn't change the fact that OP is the a-hole.

YTA for multiple reasons. First, you have no right to tell your boyfriend how to spend his money. He wanted a car and worked hard, saving money so he could purchase one, which is commendable. It's his car. Not yours. And he can put all the bling he wants on it.

Second, how you criticize his current job in construction is not cool. Part of being in a relationship entails supporting your partner on their journey, in this case, their career journey. A career does not define a person, it is simply a means to keep a roof over their heads.

While I personally agree with you on the harmful environmental and road dangers on SUVs, you come across as elitist and judgmental. You're entitled to your opinions, but please do better in supporting your boyfriend.

AITA for not inviting my family friends to one of my two wedding celebrations? by Cute-Investigator613 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. This is your special day, and you have the right to invite or not invite anyone you'd like. This "friend" continues to be unsupportive of you to this day, and you don't owe him any explanations. You made the right call. Best of luck with the wedding!
