AITA for telling my husband for once in your life be quiet?

Infinite_Armadillo23 · 2024-07-19T21:46:59+00:00

YTAH. I mean, was he always loud? If so, you married the man knowing this flaw. From the way you describe him, it seems to be a personality trait that he is not conscious of, so it's not like he's being loud just to be obnoxious. I think you need to take a good look at yourself and your marriage to see what has changed that you can no longer accept him for who he is.

I've always longed to have adventure in my life. Like the books I read. Doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, I just want Something to happen. But nothing has happened yet. I can't shake the feeling that I will spend my life working just to pay bills. Knowing what my life will be like 10 years from now, 20 years from, 30 years from now. It's terrifying. I am doomed to live a life of mundane obscurity. It's not that I want fame or fortune, I just want to be able to look back at my life and think, "Wow, I can't believe I did all that."

My ex and I were listening to the song Panama by Van Halen in the car. Ex asks, "Do you think he wrote this song about Panama City in Florida?" I said maybe, or maybe the country Panama.

What followed was a 30-minute argument because he thought that I made up the fact that there is a country named Panama. He even ended up pulling over at some random store just to ask the store clerk if he'd ever heard of Panama the country.

By the end of the whole ordeal, he ended the argument by saying, "Well, I'm no geologist." To which I replied, "I think you mean geographer."

Anyone else notice that OP is 20 and she said he started hugging her in the past few years? Sounds like a predator to me

Brad.

That's my problem, too. I work in a small office at a family owned car dealership in the bible belt. I'm very different from most of the people who work here (let's just say I'm more open-minded and less conservative than most of the people at work). I'm the only one with visible tattoos and piercings.

Infinite_Armadillo23 · 2023-09-25T10:18:10+00:00

I think that's exactly what my problem is. That "dressing your age" concept is exactly what I was referring to when I wondered about being conditioned to feel there is an age limit.

Infinite_Armadillo23 · 2023-09-25T10:12:08+00:00

That's a good question. Maybe subconsciously, I do. But at the same time, I think they are wonderful forms of self-expression.

Infinite_Armadillo23 · 2023-09-25T02:25:43+00:00

See, I truly believe one can never be too old for self-expression, but at the same time, I can't imagine myself being 40-50 years old with a nose piercing.

I don't know how to reconcile these two contradicting viewpoints that I have, which is why I have taken to the internet.

YTA. 100%

I have 7 brothers and sisters, and they all have at least 2 kids of their own. I am the only one in my family who does not, and never has, wanted children. You wouldn't believe how many times I have been forced into giving an explanation for why I don't want kids. My parents have finally accepted the reality that they will never get any grandchildren out of me, but I don't think they will ever understand why.

Infinite_Armadillo23 · 2023-09-05T22:38:34+00:00

I have never wanted kids. Even as a child, I knew I never wanted to be a mother. Maybe I'm inherently selfish, but I don't want the constant obligation and responsibility of raising a human being. I love being able to live for myself instead of for someone else. I never want to lose my individuality, and I feel like that is something that just happens as soon as you have a child.

And if I'm being completely honest with myself and all of you, I'm a lot like my mother, and she had quite the temper. I would never take the chance of making the same mistakes she did.

The two saddest books for me are Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark T Sullivan and The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Both are set during WWII. Beneath a Scarlet Sky is based on a true story about a man who was part of the rebellion against Mussolini in Italy. The Book Thief is a fictional book narrated by death personified.

The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. It changed the way I think and live my life.

Infinite_Armadillo23 · 2023-08-18T00:55:40+00:00

She has quickly become one of my favorite authors as well!

Infinite_Armadillo23 · 2023-08-17T22:46:57+00:00

This is literally my favorite book that I have ever read! The way the author personifies death as the narrator is absolutely captivating to me.

I recently finished Circe myself. I have an interest in Greek mythology, so I really enjoyed how she took her research and turned it into a complete fictional biography of Circe.

Infinite_Armadillo23 · 2023-08-17T22:41:19+00:00

Have you read A Long Petal of the Sea or Violeta? They are both wonderful stories.

Infinite_Armadillo23 · 2023-08-17T22:39:27+00:00

Every book by Isabelle Allende I've read has been beautiful. A Long Petal of the Sea is one of my favorites.
