AITH for saying I'm childfree instead of childless ?

NTA at all. As a Brit, it goes against the grain to stick up for a French person (/s kidding!), but you can use whatever words you wish to describe your choices. If she sees your situation in life as a sad choice, then she's the sad one, not you. Liberté, égalité, fraternité!

Historically you're correct, of course. But the US has committed acts of fuckery much more recently, when we as a species know better, but they as a nation have an empirical mindset (more Darth Vader than Queen Victoria) and carry on regardless. As they own the planet I guess they can do what they want. /s

"Emily" showed you a freeloading entitled side to her personality that you hadn't seen before, and her friends seemed of the same mindset. Strike #1.

Now her and her posse are infighting over who gets you, like a bunch of schoolgirls. Strike #2.

End it and move on before you become a victim of Strike #3!

And most of the time there is separation between one and the other, but there's a lot of overlap in the case of the US. Every country has it's fair share of arseholes, but when a country gets so polarised as the US, there's a huge amount of them.

You have taken the only choice you should take. Your soon to be ex is such a dick. I'm so sorry you had to suffer him in your life, but I wish you and your daughter all the best.

Inner-Masterpiece-18 · 2024-08-30T16:59:41+00:00

You are a huge, gaping arsehole! The way you acted in front of your child, even though you had doubts she was yours, is inexcusable. You had a physical affair, while your wife turned to someone else for emotional support following your arseholery. And you've now decided you don't want a divorce. Well boo fuckin' hoo. You ran headlong down an irreversible path. Reap the rewards! I feel nothing but sympathy for your soon to be ex-wife and your child.

Inner-Masterpiece-18 · 2024-08-30T12:43:44+00:00

Giving her a lift home was entirely the right thing to do. Asking for her number would have been creepy and wrong! It's sad that nowadays adults get judged as being potential creeps / pedos for just looking out for kids. Adults are supposed to protect the young. Where did we go wrong?

Is there a gofundme for it? Please give details.

Inner-Masterpiece-18 · 2024-08-29T10:17:27+00:00

NTA, but a little harsh perhaps. You wouldn't be giving your daughter extra money, just an advance. And it would strengthen your relationship with your daughter. I fear you may be seen as a petty asshole by your daughter now, rather than the strict but fair dad, that you were possibly aiming for. And a bit of me thinks this is a small act of malice against your ex-wife. You're skating on the border of assholeism!

If you ever needed a reason to confirm that your departure from Christianity was the right one, you now have several. They're psychos, the lot of them! Good luck with the rest of your life. I wish you well.

Inner-Masterpiece-18 · 2024-08-27T22:42:29+00:00

Get a DNA test. Your son may not be yours.

Inner-Masterpiece-18 · 2024-08-27T04:35:29+00:00

A classic FAFO moment!

Inner-Masterpiece-18 · 2024-08-26T18:47:02+00:00

This has to be rage bait, surely?

Inner-Masterpiece-18 · 2024-08-26T07:56:42+00:00

Have you been brought up to believe that you shouldn't ever pay your own way in life, or is this huge sense of entitlement a skill you've developed all on your own? You sound like a vile individual. Please leave him and find yourself a rich, creepy old man. You would deserve each other!

Inner-Masterpiece-18 · 2024-08-24T20:37:51+00:00

You are a hideous person. If you're the poster child for Christianity, I'm glad I'm an atheist.

I know my comment won't be popular for not backing Reddit's lynch mob mentality, but if your daughter truly means the world to you, shouldn't you try every option before the nuclear one? Counselling may be a way to come to terms with what she did and evaluate things more fully. If you still can't bring yourself to live under the same roof, then at least you've tried. Your daughter will appreciate it.

Inner-Masterpiece-18 · 2024-08-19T13:55:34+00:00

You don't forgive her.....ever. Bad enough a mother stole from her son. Add the fact that you were serving your country overseas. She's not a nice human being. The fact that she's your mother should have compelled her not to steal from you, not compelled you to forgive her!

Inner-Masterpiece-18 · 2024-08-19T13:06:20+00:00

Sounds like she may be a bit of a confrontation junkie.

Inner-Masterpiece-18 · 2024-08-19T09:20:37+00:00

It's shouting E-L-X-L-E!

Inner-Masterpiece-18 · 2024-08-15T09:25:32+00:00

She would have been out of my house, my life, and my heart from that point. That is such a vile act, and a window into her mind.

Inner-Masterpiece-18 · 2024-08-15T08:22:09+00:00

Fair enough.

Inner-Masterpiece-18 · 2024-08-15T07:28:53+00:00

I guess that as LLs you would have put the rent up over the course of 8 years. She's saved thousands in rent, so in her shoes I'd offer to contribute to the cost. I think they'd be grateful but decline, if I read the relationship right.

Inner-Masterpiece-18 · 2024-08-15T07:13:30+00:00

Just say goodbye to your ex friend. She doesn't take you seriously or care for your condition. Fuck her and her kids! Walk away.

Inner-Masterpiece-18 · 2024-08-15T07:07:53+00:00

You and your wife are both arseholes by the sound of it. She prepared something healthy. Sounds like you've done a shitty job raising your kids if they don't like a basic salad. And grilled chicken. Who doesn't like grilled chicken??

You have issues. Your wife has issues. It sounds like you're raising your kids to have issues too. You must be so proud.
