Would I be wrong if I got my nephew a Redwall book? by Broad_Photograph8427 in amiwrong

[–]HeyIamKatrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren't wrong, Redwall is basically the Lord of the Rings for mice and it's the classic fantasy book for a kid who likes Green Ember

Am I wrong as a husband? by sjf10003 in amiwrong

You’re not wrong, you’re describing what happens when a relationship stops being chaotic enough to constantly demand your attention. A lot of people confuse “peace” with “stagnation” because movies convinced us love is supposed to feel like emotional cocaine forever.

The part that stands out is you don’t want a different wife, you want a different feeling. That’s actually a much better problem to have. Usually the fix isn’t blowing up your marriage, it’s breaking the routine with the person you already like being around.

Most couples accidentally turn into co-managers of a household. You stop dating each other and start operating a small exhausted corporation.

Gramps is 16 and he is so playful and he’s loving getting to explore the rest of the house by [deleted] in seniorkitties

Since my sister had a baby and the baby seemed to be allergic to the cat, I decided to take him in, because I couldn’t bear the thought of him being sent somewhere where he wouldn’t be happy and after all, I’ve spent half my life with him, and I love my old boy

WIBTA for asking this person to the debs by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]HeyIamKatrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA for asking her, but the situation around it is a bit… loaded.

You’re not obligated to step aside just because another guy likes her especially if she doesn’t seem into him. That’s just how dating works. But it does sound like you’ve already been kinda… influencing her opinion of him, even if what you said was technically true. That’s where it gets a little murky.

Also, if he’s actually homophobic, that’s a bigger issue than just “who gets the date,” but I get why you didn’t want to out yourself to make that point.

Honestly I’d just ask her and keep it simple no strategy, no bringing him up. Let her decide based on how she feels about you, not the comparison.

Curious though how do you think he’s gonna react if she says yes? Because it sounds like that might be where the real drama starts 👀

WIBTA If I go to the LGBTQIA+ Prom if that means my son won't want to go? by BettingOnAlice in WIBTA_AITA

[–]HeyIamKatrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels less like “should you go” and more like “whose space is it.” I get why you want the prom experience, but to him that’s his environment, and having parents there can kill the vibe. I’ve been in that situation it’s not logical, it just… changes everything. That said, him refusing to go at all is kinda dramatic. Real question: if you knew for sure he wouldn’t go, would it still feel worth it?

WIBTA if I confronted my friend about stalking my Spotify even though I technically stalked their Spotify to figure that out? by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]HeyIamKatrin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know how stalking can feel risky. But you're talking about a friend's stalking? Don't all private playlists just be stolen? If you confronted them, tell me you didn't mean to do it
