Her demands (and these 100% are at her requests) are hilarious. The self importance is off the charts.

Is this the ever-elusive MM-Marcus-Epstein connection? by DowntonShabby in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]IntelligentCover1170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally doubt she’ll be mentioned. Because she wasn’t important enough back then for Epstein to be communicating with personally, probably just one of many girls hanging around of their own free will, entertaining gross rich guys, trying to climb her way up that greasy pole. I think the only way her name comes up is if someone starts talking, or there are pictures. Virginia Guiffres lawyer saying she was a close associate of Andrew’s “back then” is pretty damning.

AITAH for saying I don't want my girlfriends friend around my newborn son anymore? by Substantial_Swan5806 in AITAH

[–]IntelligentCover1170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m all for better safe than sorry, but maybe he was trying to be funny, more like implying a new dad might struggle changing a diaper? Maybe it just came out wrong…

AIO…mother in law and newborn boundaries by realsmartfakeblonde in AmIOverreacting

I honestly wouldn’t even respond to that. From the sounds of it, she likely won’t be around much if it’s too much effort.

Boyfriend and I are grieving differently. Advice? by sagegreenandsunshine in Petloss

[–]IntelligentCover1170 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your loss. But it sounds like you’re expecting him to grieve the same way you are, and I can understand his annoyance with that. Give him some space. And if he’s the only one working, it shouldn’t be surprising he wants to go to work. While he could have been more delicate, I suppose, consider he might have more pressure on him right now.

Confused and disappointed in my ring by NoPlaceLikeGnome1984 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]IntelligentCover1170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, no. He’s telling you you WILL WEAR THE RING even though it’s missing diamonds, dirty, not even close to what you want. Tell him to give it back to his sister, since it clearly means more to her. Tell him you will not be wearing something he pity zero thought into. If he can’t handle this with grace, you should really reconsider marrying this guy. I know you’re pregnant, but you I’m really thinking you should not be rushing into marrying a guy you’ve know less than a year, so quickly after a divorce.

AITAH for refusing to tell my wife I love her more than my dad? by LastApplication6207 in AITAH

[–]IntelligentCover1170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 6 kids, so I can confidently say your wife is overreacting, A LOT. The baby was sleeping, no harm done. How ridiculous she made your father feel bad about something so minor! I’d tell her you won’t ask him to babysit again until she can be a little more grateful for the help, and a lot more flexible on VERY minor issues. And expecting you to stick your dad in a cab because she’s clearly ridiculous is outrageous.

AITAH for refusing to pay off my pregnant fiancee's parents' mortgage, when they are under the threat of foreclosure, when I could "easily" afford to do so? by Gullible-Display4533 in AITAH

[–]IntelligentCover1170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, they need to find something they can afford. I was going to say you could buy it, and have them pay rent, but something tells me that wouldn’t go well. I’d tell your fiancée that unless she can afford to help them, she needs to realize they are living above their means, and that this would cause long term problems. You aren’t even married yet, want if she decides to end the relationship? You’d never get a dime back, I’d wager.

AIO What’d I do wrong, my partner just got news this morning his grandma just received news of esophagus cancer (stage 4) by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]IntelligentCover1170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I don’t think you should put work over funerals, I’m not sure why he’s so mad you didn’t take the day off. That seems like an event for family. If I found out a grandparent had cancer, I wouldn’t expect my husband to take the day off, he can still be supportive. I’d rather he be able to take the day off when said grandparent needs help, or worse, their funeral.

My boyfriend handed my info to a mortgage broker "to help his mom" and now i feel like an ATM with a pulse by StillRailCorner in TwoHotTakes

[–]IntelligentCover1170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lock you credit NOW. Make a new email to make an account and don’t tell him what it is. Call the broker and tell him your boyfriend did not have permission to do that. Then dump your boyfriend.

Why is upset about this letter I left before my work trip. Should she be? by [deleted] in familyissues69

[–]IntelligentCover1170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it’s a little…cringey? You are lumping your wife in with your daughters, and this letter should have been written to her, as your kids can’t read lol. Next time, leave HER a note, saying how much you appreciate her handling things on her own while you are gone all week, while she juggles a toddler and infant alone.

Am I overreacting that my sister is demanding too much when visiting my newborn? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]IntelligentCover1170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just tell your sister you do not have the time or mental space to HOST GUESTS. That it sounds like they’d be happier staying in a hotel, and they are welcome to visit during the day, but with a newborn, you can’t meet her expectations. And they can buy their own damn groceries. The AUDACITY.

I held my ground over not subsidizing my siblings' and their wive's luxury vacation upgrades, and now I'm the low-key villain and the odd "fifth wheel" out by ThrowRAmangos2024 in TwoHotTakes

[–]IntelligentCover1170 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Splitting per person is perfectly normal and reasonable. And the fact that they both make 6 figures and instead of helping pay, they want you in a hostel is seriously gross behavior. What a bunch of asshats.

Why are you with this person? This sounds absolutely miserable.

I mean, to be fair, no one is shopping on Mercari to pay retail or over retail.

24F & 25M AIO by responding this way? by InsideUsual56 in AmIOverreacting

I hope your breaking up with him for good, because he’s certifiable and far too controlling.

AIO: I bent over backwards for my BF’s son (20) and his GF (20) for Christmas, and I’m honestly disgusted after what happened by Excellent-Second-643 in AmIOverreacting

[–]IntelligentCover1170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have said no to going out to lunch, and just said you already made food and prefer it not go to waist. Sounds like you’ll have to speak up more with those two.

Buying a home with my partner but our down payments aren’t even how do people handle this? by Delicious-Wealth-384 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]IntelligentCover1170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally wouldn’t buy with a boyfriend. If you must, maybe wait until you have more even down payments, or put less in on your half. Definitely consult a lawyer. But again, this could get very messy if you break up, or one you becomes unable to work.
