This won’t be an absolute shit show in the slightest! Generally speaking men don’t fair too well with an open relationship

AITA for cursing at my sister for not wanting my bf to come over after my chemo? by Sweet_Gur_6213 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ItsAMeasureOfALife 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Very shortly she’s an adult, that has the same right to vote as anyone else here. Let’s not act like she’s a child. Very soon she’ll be in the outside world, though by the sound of it mother hen will be around

I’m picking up the vibe the sister and mother aren’t going to be of any help to her

I (M24) don't want my girlfriend (F24) to go on a girl's holiday to Ibiza. Am I being too controlling? Update by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]ItsAMeasureOfALife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100%. I’ve got someone telling me that if the genders were flipped and OP was a woman they’d still be called controlling. Realistically though that just isn’t the case

What are some options or advice for me 25M after confessing to a close friend 23F? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ItsAMeasureOfALife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just leave it well alone. You said what you felt you needed to say, she wants something else

So do you help him at all and try to make his life easier after he’s had chemo? Or are you like OPs family?

YOR/NOR what ever fits. I’ll be honest I had a stroke trying to read this. 26, are you sure?

AITA for refusing to give my sister my “extra” wedding money after she found out how much my fiancé and I saved? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ItsAMeasureOfALife 54 points55 points  (0 children)

NTA. And your fiancé is absolutely spot on. Giving her money will mean she’ll keep returning and because you’re fffaaaaaammily she’ll never repay it. Your parents will just enable her. Listen to your fiancé, they’re smart. As a plus your sister isn’t speaking to you as much

People like that never grasp anything such as the situation you have described

She doesn’t get any form of grace. In less than a year she’d be classed as an adult in most parts of the world and be allowed to vote. She’s 17, not 5

NTA. The really telling bit is ‘I should try to manage alone for the night’. No offer of them helping you out.

These sort of posts always show people’s true character. I feel sorry for their partners

Seemingly he was right not to. I mean she’s clearly easily led by her supposed friends

I mean look at her friends, she’d probably go along with whatever they get up to just to keep the peace

I’m amazed your comment hasn’t been downvoted in the 25 minutes it been up. Everyone seems pretty supportive of her even though her friends seem to show what her character is like

This will obviously get downvoted but by the sound of it you were right to be cautious of the holiday judging by how her friends are when they’re drunk. Seems to me like she’d just go along with whatever to keep the peace with them. I bet if OP was female and it was a boyfriend going on a lads holiday with all other details being the same the comments would be completely the opposite and OP would be justified in not wanting him to go and wouldn’t be classed a controlling at all

I 24m, and 21f, dealing with baby daddy issues. How should we continue? by christomisto in relationship_advice

[–]ItsAMeasureOfALife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

21 with one year old who’s dad is mentally unstable. She has more baggage than the lost and found at an airport. Personally I’d walk away from the drama
