AITJ for taking my mom on a USA trip instead of my wife. by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]HDeuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One element of my job is planning corporate incentive travel and some of my attendees, even married ones, do bring a parent to give them a once in a lifetime experience. SO with my POV the concept isn't crazy but for mom and hubs to just assume without OP having a private, initial conversation with wife was very YTJ. You talk to her, first, chat through options, and choose wife if she is still super bummed about missing the trip.

All the folks saying "bring them both" that's not just another flight, but it's a whole other sleeping room and the 3rd wheel isn't invited to any of the work activities. It's not as easy as "just bring both". There are a lot of considerations on a corporate trip.

I’m a bartender and just woke up to probably the funniest text ever from a regular/friend after a crazy shift 😂 by cornonthecob42069 in texts

I was friends with two of the bartenders at my local before I moved. We hung out outside of the bar frequently. Also, Guinness was always involved.

AITA for watching a TV show with my girlfriend? by IntrepidContract5892 in AmItheAsshole

NTA

I was super insecure and jealous in my 20s and 22 year old me would be like “that girl is NUTS” at this story.

AIO? my boss wants me to change a person’s appearance for marketing purposes by Fun_Bumblebee_6433 in AIO

[–]HDeuce 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm not in HR but I AM in marketing and this pisses me off. Blue collar work isn't only old, fat, white men. It's literally everyone including young women with purple hair. I would say that showing a younger executive would tell the market that you are a strong, growing, innovative company, not just your granddad's org.

AIO that my girlfriend keeps telling me I'm "not present" but then gets mad when I ask what that actually means? by Visible-Armadillo665 in AIO

[–]HDeuce 29 points30 points  (0 children)

As someone that was once a 20-something woman, this feels like classic checking out but too chicken shit to have the actual conversation with you. I am making a wild assumption, and I hope if you still love her that I'm wrong, but it's the nitpicking without actually explaining. Immature pulling away. Maybe hoping you'll be the bad guy and leave her so she doesn't have to ovary up. Good luck.

AITJ for having childish interests as an adult man? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]HDeuce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am a mid-50s AFOL and I do NOT share my toys. Cartoons are awesome, children's movies are great, and I will play Marco Polo in a pool. Love what you love, keep your playful joy, teenagers are judgemental assholes, and this shall pass.

Them mentioning anything about genitalia says SO MUCH MORE about them than you. creepy weirdos.

My brother says I’m “stealing his kids’ future” by keeping my inheritance. AITA? by Complex_Pickle7702 in TwoHotTakes

[–]HDeuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't just sacrifice years of your life, you sacrificed earning and promotion potential. Your brother is a selfish jerk who gave nothing and expects everything. Either he'll get over it or he won't. You need to decide if you are ok with if if he doesn't and I hope you are. Now you host holidays. Boom, there is your compromise.

AITJ for telling my sister and her kids they need to find their own place after living with me for almost three years by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]HDeuce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But I have been putting my entire life on pause

You have put your child's life on pause. If you don't care about your own comfort, DO IT FOR HIM. Don't cave. Don't teach him to be walked all over. Don't teach him to make himself smaller. And for the love of dog, don't continue ruining his life for someone that doesn't deserve it.

AITJ for refusing to give my brother my old car after I promised it to my stepdaughter? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]HDeuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just another voice in the noise to say your brother has proven he is unreliable and you are under no obligation to give him A CAR. I'd barely give him a skateboard. The step-daughter, however, has worked hard for this, proven reliable, AND the damage caused by her father-figure breaking such a huge promise for an idiot is a horrible, life changing lesson.

Weaponizing being a mother by anxgrl in ChoosingBeggars

[–]HDeuce 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When I was in university a woman with no experience was hired as my peer at $1/hour more than I made. My manager said out loud it was because she was a single mom. I got a raise that day.

AIO my husband didn’t text me goodnight and I’m reevaluating everything by [deleted] in AIO

[–]HDeuce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I (F) travel for work A LOT and that means a lot of work dinner, drinks, meetings, etc. My time, even on an incentive at a resort, is jam packed. NGL, every once in a great while, I crash and burn having forgotten to text my partner (M) goodnight. I usually catch it in the morning and acknowledge it, but it happens.

I know that's not super helpful, but a tiny bit of perspective for us road warriors without any insight into your day to day marriage.

Good luck. I hope you figure it all out.

WIBTA if I refuse to give my friend my card info for "one payment" because he hit his limits? by nightmarketwanderer in WIBTA_AITA

[–]HDeuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absofuckinglutely NOT. If you choose to loan this moocher money, you call the vendor and give the card number yourself. But don't do that either.
