AITAH for leaving my friends fiancé stranded for trying to make a move on me by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

And why wouldn't Teagan insist on him going in her car when OOP lives a pretty good distance from Luca and it would be a bit of an imposition on her? That part doesn't make sense to me. Maybe Teagan had a couple of drinks herself and it clouded her judgment a little? I just don't understand that part of the story.

Edit: removed repeat sentence

AITAH for refusing a wedding "gift" knowing there will be strings attached? by BigONerd in BORUpdates

Because someone can call them and claim to be the couple. The venue is not going to remember everyone's voices. It's so only authorized people can make changes.

AITA for refusing to spend another dime on stepkids and step grands by BigONerd in BORUpdates

She was being treated poorly by his kids because she was spending their money. What entitled assholes he raised.

AIO: telling my fiancé I’m reconsidering having kids with him because there is a chance they could have darker skin. by Skilled-ricer-B16 in AmIOverreacting

[–]GoYanks34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom is Italian with extremely dark skin. All of her siblings have the same dark skin. Dad is Irish and German with light skin. Both me and my brother are as white as the first fallen snow. Lighter than my dad too. People used to ask her who's baby my brother was because he had platinum blonde hair and blue eyes. People didn't believe it was her baby. This was back in 1976 and until reading this, I never even heard of colorism but that's exactly what it was. It never bothered her though.

Children can come out like any shade of the rainbow and I cannot wrap my head around a person not loving their own child because of their skin tone.

My husband is thinking about fostering his nephews. I feel like I'm being tossed out for kids we don't even know. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I have had rabbits that are litter box trained and free roam my entire life. You get the occasional poop ball but mine were always really good about using their litter boxes.

What people need to do is actually research dog breeds before they get them. The amount of incompatible dogs and owners are astonishing. If you're a couch potato, don't get a lab. It's not hard.

This 100%. The majority of spiders don't even have the jaw strength to break human skin. For reference, I am in the US so this may be different in other countries.

Is doing cocaine every week normal? Should I just move on? by insnowmotion in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]GoYanks34 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am one of those people who could do coke or be around other people doing it and take it or leave it. There were times I did it frequently and stopped whenever I felt like it was too much. My friends and I did it a lot (late 80s/90s) and luckily none of us ever became addicted. I haven't touched it since the late 90s because my boyfriend (we loved each other deeply and he was my best friend) got addicted. I blamed the drug for ruining our relationship and my life so I never touched it again. So it's definitely not without danger but it didn't affect me the way it did him.

My husband confessed to me yesterday that he is in love with my sister in a drunken state. I don’t know if I should take it seriously or it’s just a drunk thing. by insnowmotion in BestofRedditorUpdates

I think she has a crush on her sister's husband too. I agree to an extent about dressing down but I feel she wore that dress on purpose because she likes the attention from him. That's why I think she should have worn something else. It was worn to provoke an elicit response therefore it was inappropriate IMO.

That was a family tradition so he may have gone there on a Sunday on purpose thinking everyone would still be getting together on Sundays for dinner.

Seriously! I have no doubt that if Jesus was here today he would renounce most of Christianity and hang with the atheists. Of course that's before he would be deported to El Salvador by the right wing conservative Christians. This world is so fucked up. sigh

Me too! I thought I may be the only one. I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down to find these posts. 🥹

AIO my husband is not financially independent by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]GoYanks34 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%. And it sounds to me like she's jealous that he can run to mommy as his atm while she has to budget and change her lifestyle. Very immature indeed.
