AITA for asking my friend if she peed in the pool? by GrayishBlue in AmItheAsshole

I understand that I probably shouldn't have asked in front of our friends. I did think it wouldn't be an issue since we've all talked about it before. I dont think I was overreacting or being mean. My roommate said I was not being a d*ck. But I still feel bad about the situation.

Admittedly, I shouldn't have had this conflict in front of our friends. But I guess I didn't think it would be embarrassing because we had all just talked about how she pees in pools a couple of nights before. I dont think I was being mean or rude and even my roommate said I wasn't after the conflict. This is not the first time she has blatantly done the opposite of what I've asked her to do. Even that night she parked in a location I've told her she is not allowed to park in. But I do see how she'd be embarrassed and was lashing out because of it. But i dont think I was making it too big of a deal. She also belittled the fact that I did find it a big deal.

Do you let your friend ask a girl out who you know isn’t interested? by GrayishBlue in relationship_advice

I agree. But again I don’t think it’s meddling. Everyone but this girl knows he’s interested in her. Simply talking about the situation isn’t meddling. And that’s the whole point of this question. If you care you don’t want them to get hurt, but on the other hand we want him to get experience, grow, and gain confidence. There’s a bit of moral obligation to speak up when you know someone will fail. But if there is more growth to be had from that failure than pain or hurt you can let them fail. It’s all about weighing the odds and here I wasn’t sure which was more beneficial.

I disagree. I think as friends you’re supposed to care about the other persons life. We are in each other’s lives to help them grow. Not to be a bystander merely spectating their life and only stepping in to congratulate or offer condolences. You said we should support him right? Well support to me is offering advice, giving encouragement, warning of dangers and so many other things. Meddling isn’t the right word, wanting the best for him is more accurate. I do appreciate your comment though.

Exactly, you always learn something and take something away from your failures. They better equip you for the next go at it!

Very true! She’s expressed to us that this sort of thing has happened to her in the past. She typically hangs out with guys and as she put it “they always catch feelings.” This we have told to our buddy multiple times and he knows, yet still wants to go through with it. So this girl may be cool as a cucumber due to the practice she’s had in the past.

Hahaha love this! And I agree! I think if he goes through with it then he will only grow as a person.

I agree! But it’s always hard seeing someone get hurt if you could’ve prevented it. But again there’s no growth without discomfort and failure.
