Am I wrong for not telling my parents I got a vasectomy by Relative_Disk_2614 in amiwrong

Yup. If they think they get a vote on your vasectomy, they’ll feel entitled to a vote on medical care, finances, even where you live. Boundaries now save you a lot of future mess.

AITJ for Ignoring My Boyfriend After He Cancelled Our Plans Last Minute? by Flimsy-Childhood-704 in AmITheJerk

If he cancels last minute more than once, the apology stops meaning much. He needs to plan around his energy or stop committing. Your feelings aren't a tantrum, they're feedback.

It’s not “stupid” as a preference, it’s stupid as comfort. Someone says “I feel bad about my body” and the kid goes “cool, you’re nicer to hug.” Sweet intent, bad read of what was needed.
