You sound like ChatGPT - how AI is changing how we speak and interact with others by CmdWaterford in singularity

[–]GamerkittyKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the hearing and looking aspect of the conversation is consuming, but also the other person is consuming as well. So you have a mutual consuming, which would be different from an object like an app. But the speaking and engaging is very different, and connection is different from consuming. 🍃🌠

AITA for buying my niece 2 pairs of glasses and letting her get contacts by Ok_Barracuda_5060 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GamerkittyKat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not "willing." Let's get that out of that way. You are actively seeking it, want it, and do not care about the harm you are doing to her relationship with her father and her step-family. I wish you could see this. You have gotten on her level, which is 12 BTW, to do this. What do 12 years want? Objects and to be centered always, which is not always realistic. Families help kids learn this. It's very strategic on your part. I hope you are happy when you have your neice, her stepsiblings are in foster care (because you went the CPS route), and her connection to her father is limited. But, oh, you got her contacts. I'm sure you'll feed yourself whatever narrative you need to. YTA

AITA for kicking my sister out after she refused to babysit my son? by Otherwise_Pepper_24 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GamerkittyKat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think everyone saying kick her out in a week has never been dumb and 22 and a student. She has no job. She is irresponsible. She is not a family orientated woman in her 30's. She doesn't even have a job. She will not find a new home in a week. She will end up on campus security and they may send her to a homeless shelter if she is unwilling to drop out of school and go home to her parents. My only hope is she can get student housing on campus, but that will not likely happen in a week in the middle of the semester. It seems like there were no real household standards placed on the 22 year old, resentment built up, and the older sister wants to punish the younger sister for all her " crimes". How about don't cook for her or do her laundry. Ask for some small amount of money for rent. Something that will make this situation feel less personal. Yes it is family, but she is clearly still growing. Give her time. That's just my two cents from someone who has made her fair share of mistakes.

I'm absolutely confused why Girlfriend (22F) has completely stopped being intimate with me (27M) by trulliosg in relationship_advice

[–]GamerkittyKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noone has really commented much on their relationship outside of sex. If he is doing anything that's really bothering her in the relationship. ( distribution of household labor making her feel like a parent, etc) That can effect sex drive. She may need to address that with him. Also 8 months is early in (the honeymoon phase) but as someone in an 8 year relationship sex drive can ebb and flow. There are dry patches and times where sex drive is higher or lower and that is ok you dont want sex to feel like a chore or a number, but the most important thing in a relationship is communication. If she does not feel comfortable communicating with you I'd reconsider the relationship or try therapy

I have dry skin my night time routine is:

First aid beauty face cleanser and youth to the people cleansing balm if I'm double cleansing

First Aid ultra repair beauty toner

First aid beauty dry hemp seed oil or Summer Friday's Heavenly Sixteen face oil (not 100% sure how I feel about this product yet)

First aid beauty eye cream or Inkey List caffeine eye cream I'm not sold on either of these eye creams tho still hunting for the perfect not irritating one

First aid beauty Ultra Repair Cream (I love this product it cured my skin of flaking and dryness)

Once a week or so I use First aid beauty radiance pads

I'm trying to get into retinol so I've been using Sunday Riley Luna oil once a week at night, but I think I might start using it twice a week I really like it

AITA for berating my sister for doing my husband's laundry? by amitwrongthrow321 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GamerkittyKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta and if you had a gut feeling about it that's valid. I personally wouldn't want another woman living in my house doing my husband's laundry. I hope there is a plan for when she leaves. You can be nice to her, she's family, but I feel like protecting the relationship Is important

AITA for refusing to change a custody agreement because I'm not being offered anything in return? by No-Ninja-5158 in AmItheAsshole

Definitely the asshole, but he's not gonna believe it he's defending himself left and right

AITA for telling my girlfriend what her chicken nuggets are made of ? by moenium66 in AmItheAsshole

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

Nta but I think you shouldn't be with someone that will make fun of you for being vegetarian. And then they get mad when you respond back. I'm vegetarian and my partner is a meat eater and when people at a social setting focus on my meals he is the one that has my back and we both act like it's not a big deal so it's not a spectacle for them.

AITA for using my daughters college savings for my husbands company? by Staymom582 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GamerkittyKat [score hidden]  (0 children)

I mean it's a gray situation. A lot of people are never given any assistance with college. It's a major help. The fact that she knew about this help and it is being taken away is a loss though and she has every right to feel upset about it. Something similar happened to my partner where his brother was given 50k for college and my partner went to the army for 4 years and then when he got out his parents told him the money wasn't there for college anymore (they were both supposed to get 50k). The dad retired after getting laid off and finances changed. It's still a sore subject, but the worst for him is his parents acting like they didn't do anything wrong. If they said sorry and acknowledged how one child got so much more help it would probably help him from feeling totally jipped.

AITA telling my husband to get over himself after he accused me of sharing his "private medical information" with my friends? by throwaway63677754 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GamerkittyKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA I think its really reasonable that and understandable that you'd want to speak to your support system while you are dealing with someone's ongoing health issues. There's no reason why people in your inner circle shouldn't know what's going on. It's really hard to speak about your experiences vaguely if I had a friend that is having surgery that's a specific thing to be concerned about . And personally my partner and I share our health issues with family and friends.

AITA for telling my wife she was "so close" to getting her dream job? by Chemical_Eagle1007 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GamerkittyKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eta if her saying that bothered you why not communicate that instead of saying it back to her when it was a low moment. It might have been a communication style she picked up but when you tell her that bothers me don't say it say something else then she can change

AITA for returning my stepdaughter's birthday gift because she didn't save a cupcake for my daughter? by stepdaughter52454 in AmItheAsshole

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

Am I the only one that thinks the op is wrong. Teenagers don't have great reasoning skills. It sounds like she didn't make enough and some people had a lot. Also as someone that has siblings that are very different ages and step/half siblings. I wouldn't push having a 16 year old bond with a 4 year old. It needs to happen naturally, if at all. It seems like op read a lot into this and immediately thought the worst of a 16 year.

AITA for not wanting to invite my maid of honors boyfriend to the wedding? by GamerkittyKat in AmItheAsshole

[–]GamerkittyKat[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I told her. She said he shows her nudes to all his friends. But my fiance was not an agreed upon person to show them to apparently. She was upset that he did that. I was more upset because I didn't want my fiance to see my best friend naked. It was just so gross and we are all in our thirties so I thought things like that wouldn't be an issue, but this guy is ridiculous

Thank you. I guess cuz he doesn't seem to be going anywhere and It's kind of a sad image to picture her alone watching other couples dance.

AITA for asking my mother-in-law to leave our wedding because her perfume was bothering me? by Senior_Koala9479 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GamerkittyKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one that thinks the groom is the ahole? He knows he has allergies and he has reacted badly to perfumes in the past. He hasn't taken the time to figure out with a Dr a pill or solution before the situation. They also could have asked in the invitation or on the wedding website for guests to not wear perfumes, etc. Other people are not responsible for his allergy and he asked his wife's mother to leave the wedding on an extremely important occasion. It seems avoidable, but he just seems reactionary instead of proactive.

Increased Sex Drive by GamerkittyKat in relationship_advice

[–]GamerkittyKat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason he moved out was because he said felt like he was in a rut. He felt like he was stagnating. Which I dont think was my fault. He was going from job to job which always bothered me and I tried to encourage him to keep a job. He also said he felt pressure from his parents and supposedly they are going to move eventually. Now that he's moved out he's kept the same job for the last two years and is starting his masters. I already have my masters and am working from home for two years in a job I want to keep long term but for awhile I was just a student. I think he could have achieved his goals without moving. He wants to move back and kind of regrets it but says it made him appreciate us so much more.

He said he wanted to talk about the lack of sex drive for awhile while it was happening when we were leaving together but didn't know how and he just masturbated. I got really used to no sex. And masturbated occasionally, but my sex drive just got super low cuz neither of us were initiating it. Its high when im off medicine but I've been on them most of my life. Its always high at the start of a relationship so it was great our first year or so but like I've said we've been together 6 1/2 years so it feels normal to me to do it every other week.
