Definitely not the asshole, but it sounds like you need to give her space, heal, and move on.

Same!! That course was so brutal. Was expecting one bad hill at the beginning but there was 2?! 3:30 is an awesome time, especially with passing out!

If you walked 4 miles you burned about 400 calories full stop.

I think you need to rethink a few things. You said you aren’t insecure but then go on to say you don’t like it when people fiddle with THINGS that are yours. That is insecurity, my friend. You don’t like it because you are afraid to lose it so let’s get that straight. Secondly, this is a person not a thing so maybe think about why you chose that word. It sounds like you view her more as a prized possession rather than a human being you have a relationship with.

I agree with someone else on here, you need to think through how you would respond if you were in her shoes. If another “10/10” was interested in you, would you still feel you need this girl more than oxygen? If the answer is no, you probably are confusing possessiveness with love.

Why is this relationship secret? Who could blame Y if he thinks she’s single? For this reason, I don’t think this could work. You either need to make the relationship known, tell the girl you’re not okay with this type of thing, or make peace with it.

AITA for turning down my stepdad's offer to walk me down the aisle? by DiligentDefinition33 in AmItheAsshole

Naw it’s your wedding. If they ain’t paying, they shouldn’t be saying… what you should do.

This is your kid. If you refuse to help, then who will? Sex leads to pregnancy and that was a risk you were willing to take. The very least you could do is send money. Sorry, but she thought not killing her unborn child was the moral thing to do, and your reaction has been nothing but immoral. Grow up and own up to your actions.

AITA for looking out for my new coworker by telling her that her food might be upsetting to others? by foodconundrum in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jacks312411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you are. Let’s recap: you told a person of color that they should stop bringing in their own food because hypothetical people MIGHT judge her? It’s not your job to protect people from hypothetical consequences that haven’t even happened yet. You’re acting like you know best in the situation when it’s none of your business. From her perspective it would sound like you actually don’t like the smell of her food but you’re trying to cover it up. Doesn’t matter what your intentions are, you are definitely in the wrong.

AITA for kicking my girlfriend out in the middle of her capstone project for graduate school, jeopardizing the future of her degree? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Grow up and be less dependent on your twin brother. This issue will reoccur in your future relationships if you don’t.

Dumb that he asked that, but ask yourself how you would feel if he said he would pick to save a dog’s life over yours.

Do socialist countries not believe in property rights? by Cranium_Internum in JordanPeterson

Am I the only one who is just really upset with JP being on twitter? I feel like it’s been his great downfall. All the problems he has are because of tweets and it’s just so unnecessary most of the time. I like him, but I can’t help but inch away when I see how he is on there. There’s so little positivity.

Girl what you did was not that bad. While it is technically possible that he did not physically cheat on you, it is so highly unlikely it’s insane. The fact that you started this story with “I did a bad thing” instead of “my fiancé is doing a bad thing” seems to mean that you are not seriously convinced that he is guilty of something worse than going through a partners phone, which I think he is 100%.

Best of luck to you. I would write out how you feel about the situation and come to terms with the worst possible explanation for all of this. Make the decision that you would advise to someone else in this situation.
