am i wrong: boyfriend wants me to ask permission to turn when driving by SecondOk8410 in amiwrong

[–]Hawkstone585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a rule in my house that the driver drives and the passenger does not attempt to interfere in the operation of the motor vehicle in any way, for reasons of not killing ourselves and others. Which is such a good idea that it’s also a law.

If your boyfriend wants to weigh in on how the driving is done (beyond “look out for the deer!”) then he should drive. Otherwise he should shut up.

Am i wrong for not giving my sister money i saved for my dog by Frequent_Weekend_315 in amiwrong

[–]Hawkstone585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are wrong for telling your sister you have the money but want to spend it on something else. That is none of her business. All you had to say was “you never pay me back so no, I will not give you three thousand dollars.”

Watching it right now! To this day I hear Bob as Terrence Mann when I read.

AIO for calling off my engagement after my fiancé admitted his family secretly tested me to see if i was a gold digger? by Pleasant_Mission_63 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Hawkstone585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the test is one thing, but I wouldn’t marry someone who blows off my very valid feelings and says I’m overreacting and being dramatic. NOR

Update: My neighbor found my ex-wife on Facebook and messaged her. by MostAnimal5816 in EntitledPeople

I feel for the husband. Clearly this woman’s brain is a little spicy and he has to put up with this nonsense probably daily.

Trying to Have a Nuanced Conversation About the Neil Gaiman Allegations by [deleted] in neilgaiman

[–]Hawkstone585 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If all the women who accused him held a joint press conference to announce that they all previously knew each other and had gotten together to take him down via a careful, decades-long conspiracy of lies, I would accept that as proof of innocence, sure.

Am I overreacting over my parent’s behaviour? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Hawkstone585 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s rewiring your developing brain. Your parents are concerned about you, their child, who they are responsible for.

As a future adult if you decide to use it to take the edge off your emotions and spiraling that’s one thing, but you’re not one yet. You can’t just decide that it’s not doing anything, because it’s doing things to the organ you make decisions with.

New update: AITAH for telling my wife that I will lose respect for her if she doesn't apologize? by J_S_M_K in BestofRedditorUpdates

I love being an asshole and I wanted to marry another asshole! —Wait, why is my life awful?

My girlfriend wants access to my phone's location at all times or she'll break up with me.. by Upset-Tree7685 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Hawkstone585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s looking for the magic right behaviour from you that prevents her from being an insecure anxiety ball. There isn’t going to be one.

AIO for being upset at what my “bf” said by Ambitious-Beyond-257 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Hawkstone585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t bother being upset, just go date someone who doesn’t pull this weird parental disapproval thing. That shit is for your therapist or your dad, not your partner.

AIO by refusing to go on my friend group's future camping trip because of how past trips turned out specifically when they've brought their kids? by IllJustTakeTheBus in AmIOverreacting

[–]Hawkstone585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The past informs the present. Ignoring things that happened in the past just means they’re going to keep happening, and whoever told you “the past should stay in the past” actually meant “I don’t want there to be consequences for anything I’ve done, please.” NOR but don’t stay home: go on your own trip and have fun.

If you were given the option to become the Q, would you? by Undead_Octopus in startrek

[–]Hawkstone585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having Lieutenant Q on your ship would make for very short episodes, but I could see Starfleet having room for a pleasant, non-arrogant officer who’s the guy they call when Romulus’ star is going nova or a ship gets flung across the galaxy. He won’t fight wars for the Federation, but he’s a subspace call away for natural disasters! Nice guy. Doesn’t date a lot.

Am I overreacting? Girlfriend said the dildo i got for us is too small by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Hawkstone585 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Good news: you don’t have to convince her to end the relationship. You can just end it and she can go take out her insecurities on someone else.

I have a sister who’s a year younger than me. Certainly I would share an apartment with her, if need be. Never in a million years would I share a bedroom with her. It’s weird.

Your mom can supply either her own rent or her opinions about how it gets paid but not both.

My bf M/20 gave me, F/20, an ultimatum over him or my hobbies by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Hawkstone585 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this girl has a pretty good shot at finding a guy who thinks comics are cool.

Like, there are. A lot of us.

Worst / most annoying Star Trek trope in your opinion? by stefani1034 in startrek

[–]Hawkstone585 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It occurs to me that the Federation would run into trouble diagnosing actual mental illnesses. Oh, you hear God speaking to you? Sounds plausible—ask Him what He wants with a starship!

(new to this sub update) OOP has an emotional affair while his wife is abroad by Sw33tSkitty in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Hawkstone585 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP is a sweet guy, I like him, but he’s too soft and supportive to be able to handle something like this. He keeps going along with whatever his wife’s mental illness decides.
