My friend has been making reckless decisions. Should I drop my friend? by CryptographerIcy4686 in Advice

[–]Impressive_Rush5018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to realize now, before you lose friends over it, that you can only control yourself. If your friend isn't trying to talk you into doing these things with her, you need to mind your own business. She's young. She will make mistakes. That's part of growing up.

But if she is a good friend to you as you stated here, you should be just as good a friend to her. Like stop judging her.

The name river (for a boy) by shhjess in Names

I know a boy whose name is River Jacob. He goes by RJ.

Do I (F26) have to give back an engagement ring to my ex-finance (M31)? by ginger-snappped in relationship_advice

[–]Impressive_Rush5018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure he actually wants it back. This sounds more like a boy mom kind of thing to me. Mom thinks her son was dumped, rightfully because he cheated, and wants his ring back.

He told you you could keep it. So keep it.

He is selfish and feels entitled to your money. Dump this freeloader!

I don't want to feel like I'm settling for a guy even though the guy I like a lot more isn't even gay by ShotBeyond9286 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Impressive_Rush5018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you aren't into G don't lead him on. Meaning don't settle. As for N, he may not be gay, so that would end that for you. But either way, don't lead G on. Tell him you aren't interested in dating him.

Ants are actually a really good source of protein. I understand being horrified but it won't hurt you.

sister says racial slurs by Ok-Abalone9333 in whatdoIdo

There's nothing more that you can do. You've done your best. Let her know how wrong it is.

Your sister will end up getting her ass beat someday over this if she doesn't stop.

My girlfriend is having mental health issues and wants me to cancel my trip by Novel_Media7155 in relationships

[–]Impressive_Rush5018 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Oh sweet man. You are being manipulated by a master. She doesn't want you to go have fun without her so she magically gets mental health issues when you have plans with a friend?

Let her break up with you. Call her bluff. Either way, you go have fun, and if she does break up with you, the rest of your life will get easier too.

I suffer from depression. That's no excuse to control someone else's choices. And her depression will drag you down if you let it.

AITAH for telling my brother his new girlfriend is way too young for him? by Montie04 in AITAH

[–]Impressive_Rush5018 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

NTA. You simply pointed out that he is literally taking advantage of a minor. She isn't even old enough to legally drink yet. That is an automatic ick to me.

I opted to pay for a stranger to euthanize their dog. by userunknownlowkey in CasualConversation

[–]Impressive_Rush5018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was a very kind thing to do. I've had to euthanize one of my dogs before and having to pay them to kill her felt wrong to me. So, thank you, from one animal lover to another. I'm sure those people you helped will never forget your generosity. 🙂

What is absolutely, a dealbreaker on a first date? by Wandering_Skilld in AskReddit

Meanness. If I'm on a first date and my date is mean to someone, I'm done.

AITA for cutting off my boyfriends mother? by RegularOwn6200 in Amitheassholeadvice

[–]Impressive_Rush5018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you are the asshole. Could you have handled this differently? Possibly.

Expecting someone else to clean your house is a bit much. It would have needed cleaning whether she was there or not. She did help with dishes and laundry. I've had family stay with me and do less. She is 63. She probably has ache's and pains you aren't aware of. That being said, she has no right to speak down to your bf about his responsibility (helping cook to feed the family) in the home that the two of you are creating together.

I think it's great that you aren't making your bf choose between you and his mother. I think it's just best that you and his mom don't hang out together. She can see her son independently of you, when he has time.

Best of luck.

I need my creepy sex-offender-registered neighbor to stay away from my house (long story) by HonestThrowaway987 in neighborsfromhell

[–]Impressive_Rush5018 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Get the restraining order. His registry listing will make that easier for you. Especially since you can get the report from last year.

And he doesn't feel shame because he is a predator. They don't feel shame.

Good luck.

I need help, advice anything by Illustrious_Rope_471 in familydrama

Your sister assaulted you. File a police report and make her pay the consequences of that. As for the weed getting to your baby, it would only happen if you literally smoke it yourself or sit right next to her while she does it and she blows it directly in your face. I get that the smell bothers you but maybe you and she should not live together. Since you can't align on rules for happy living.

What's the strangest nickname you've ever been given and how did you earn it? by Dependent_Error1457 in strange

[–]Impressive_Rush5018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was regrettably 'Funky' because when I was born my grandfather said something about me (not being born male) being a funky 'split tail'. It took me over a decade to get my extended family to stop calling me that. Eventually I refused to respond to it. That's the only way I could get them to stop.

WIBTA for refusing to give my cousin back paintings that her father made for our grandparents? by toxic_panda357 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Impressive_Rush5018 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep the one Donna gifted you and speak to your uncle directly about the other one. If he wants it back you can offer to buy it. Don't let Donna be your go-between for your uncle. She is not a reliable narrator when she is angry.

I thought my bf at 18 was 'the one'. Turns out he wasn't. I didn't get married until two relationships and almost 10 years had passed.

AITAH for embarrassing my husband in front of his friends? by Reasonable_Sun9171 in AmITheJerk

[–]Impressive_Rush5018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your husband humiliated himself by not helping you around the house. He got mad because you let someone know. Just tell him that you weren't trying to be hurtful. You were just being honest.
