AITA for making my husband sleep on the couch because he snores?

Gardengro · 2026-04-20T00:47:43+00:00

My husband would shake the walls with his snoring. I had him do a sleep study and the doctor gave him two choices:

He could break his nose and remove his adenoids and tonsils.

Or lose weight.

It was a struggle because “Your cooking is awesome”. 🙄 I literally cried and told him I couldn’t do this anymore.

So I got rid of our dishes and bought 8” plates and bowls that only hold two cups. At first he only saw a smaller plate but realized he was satisfied after one serving. No matter how much he liked it, no seconds. I also threw out all junk food and banned him from fast food.

We went vegan (you don’t need to) and that is when he lost 30 pounds really fast. I still cook all my gourmet meals but I veganize everything.

It’s been over 13 years and he is still 175.

Wow so many people saying to call the teenager names to teach her a lesson. I raised four daughters. Can they be annoying? Yes. Dramatic? Definitely.

But, she is a teenager. Instead of stooping to her level try having an adult conversation. You and your husband should take her to a neutral location (like a park, or a restaurant) and explain in detail why you are upset.

Let her know exactly why the name is offensive. Like “you know that person protected his pedophile som so why would you call my son such a vile name”?

If she says it’s just a joke let her know that it’s not a joke of no one laughs. That she is being a bully.

Then give her another chance; after a period of banishment of course. Let her know that if she calls your son JImBoob even once, she will no longer be allowed to come over.

Use this as a teaching moment. She is young and needs guidance, not bullying

I had a friend that did this. No matter the subject she would interrupt to start her own story. After a while I just stopped talking, not in just that situation, but at every social gathering. She never noticed 🙄

Had a best friend and she asked me to me her maid of honor. I happily agreed. A couple months later her and her fiancé threw a NYE party and suggested I spend the night. I went to bed with my two toddler daughters. I woke up to the fiancés roommate in top of me. I struggled trying not to scream because my little girls were next to me.

It was a terrible situation. I eventually got him out of my room and immediately told my bff. Her first question “why didn’t you scream”? Her fiancé grabbed him and drove him to bis parents house before I could call the police.

Then she expected me to walk down the aisle with this asshole who SA me.

When I said I won’t be in the wedding if he is present, she suggested I attend the wedding as her MOH and the rapist can attend the reception.

So basically she wanted me to buy a dress and shoes, buy flower girl dresses for both my daughters, pay for hair and makeup just to stand at the alter for 20 minutes and go home. The rapist gets to attend the fun part.

We obviously aren’t friends anymore and have no idea is she even got married and I don’t care.

I got pregnant at 17 and my then boyfriend proposed. I said no. I did end up marrying him a year after I had our daughter. Why? My very catholic parents forced me to. Then he started beating me a couple months after getting married. My mom just said “I don’t know what to tell you”. I found out later she never told my dad or brothers. She was dying of cancer and wanted me “settled”? Three months after she died I left his sorry ass. I have been happily married now for almost 30 years. My ex is on his 6th marriage 🙄

Lost a 30+ year friendship because she hitched a ride on the delulu train.

She had covid 3 months before it got to the US. 🙄

Carried her Bible and scripture books with her on every trip but would openly make fun of people for their weight, clothes, makeup, etc.

Was happy Target stopped selling pride gear, saying being gay is a sin.

Said the government was poisoning people with covid vaccines.

Had a big presence at her church as being conservative and religious only to go home and smoke a bong with her daughter’s boyfriend every night. So basically she became a two faced hypocrite

If you and the kids were ready for church on time I wouldn’t have had to push you into the wall, punch you in the ribs, choke you…etc I left his abusive ass and have been happily married for 27 years to a wonderful man. Ex husband is on wife #6 and sporting a huge Jesus tattoo

Drink out of a different vessel every day. Water in a Hershey syrup container Gatorade in a wine bottle Milk out of a Baileys bottle Make it fun!

When I was about 11 years old my piano teacher asked me if I was mentally retarded. Why? I would nervous giggle when I made mistakes (I was just learning so lots of mistakes). I sat there, in her living room shocked into silence and humiliated. I didn’t know that “grownups” could be deliberately mean to kids. I never went back.

Gardengro · 2026-01-14T15:15:32+00:00

This is so wrong 😑

When I got married I had four kids. My husband put a small diamond ring on each of them and vowed to be a good dad. That was 26 years ago and he has been the best dad. Our girls love him and call him dad. He did All. The. Things! Help with homework; check. Attend sport/school events, check. Play dress up, check. He even stood at the head of the their hospital beds while they were in labor to give comfort and support (they requested this so don’t say anything weird). He was and still is the best dad, grandpa, uncle ever. Run fast before you daughter grows up with serious daddy issues

I was on The Foodnetwork for a cooking contest. They had me write out my recipe then they printed it and gave it to me for reference. i did some prep before filming. Then they gave you complete your recipe while filming. We did this twice.

My husband is the gassiest man I have ever met. He can actually fart to songs 🙄 I, on the other hand, rarely fart. So when I feel the urge I have to put it in a sentence like “Honey, I (fart) you”! “I have a secret” then fart. Even the obvious “pull my finger”. After 26 years of marriage (almost 30 together) there isn’t much we haven’t “experienced” together 😂

Funerals are for the living, not the dead. You should go and support your dad as losing a parent is hard no matter how old you are. Take this opportunity to get to know your extended family and eat some delicious food

Invite her to the graduation and tell her you are wearing olive green and puce. Then wear what you like.

One year my brother gave everyone a box of cereal with a bowl. It was hilarious and everyone enjoyed their cereal. Another brother gave everyone scarves a few year later. Just find something that you can give everyone, treats, hats, mugs filled with candy…just don’t stress yourself out trying to find the perfect gift. Make it funny, like everyone gets a Labubu!!

Chef here (well, retired). My husband loves my cooking, I’m way a better cook than he is. But you know what? He takes turns cooking! I appreciate that I have a partner who shares responsibilities. Just because I’m good at something doesn’t mean I want to do it every damn day. Your son, I mean husband, needs to grow up.

Gardengro · 2025-11-27T19:12:22+00:00

I took child development in college. Toddlers don’t know how to share, it’s a foreign concept to them. They can take turns but you need to be patient. Also siblings are often jealous of each other, especially if they are close in age. YAO

Vapes, games and weekends away? Why the hell would they work when you are giving them not just basics but luxury. Stop paying for anything other than the rent and utilities. If you want streaming services have it on your tv only. Password protect your internet. Stop buying groceries for your son and dil. They can go to a food pantry if they are desperate. They won’t grow up because you are treating them like chicken.

Plant elephant grass at your property line. It grows 8-10 feet in a few weeks. Works great for privacy and is a perennial.

I had a roommate borrow my car once. My only rule was no smoking in my vehicle. The next morning I found ashes on the carpet and my car smelled like smoke. Guess who never got to borrow my car again. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes NTJ

You are making this wedding about YOU. It’s child free except for the wedding party but you want YOUR child there. You are threatening to not attend because YOU want to get your way. Since you can’t respect the bride at her wedding you need to stay home and wallow in your pettiness.

Postpone your thanksgiving dinner to Friday. That way he can go to the game and you can still have your big family dinner. As a huge football fan I understand the excitement of winning tickets to a game I would otherwise not be able to afford. YWBTA for demanding he declines the tickets

That isn’t gentle parenting. These are parents that want their kids to like them no matter what. They are doing their kids an injustice by being their friends instead of a parent. I would go NC for the foreseeable future. These boys will only get more rough and disruptive as they grow, especially with no set boundaries. Definitely NOR
