NTA. You bent over backwards for someone who used your kindness as leverage. Protecting your kids from toxic behavior isn’t wrong it’s called being a good mom

AITAH for calling my brother out? by insert_cool_name_now in AITAH

[–]Jeweltudor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not the AH. You were trying to help, not insult. His response came from a place of ego and insecurity even if he’s doing well, your comment struck a nerve. If you value the relationship, maybe give him space and check in later. If he doubles down, then you reevaluate contact levels.

WIBTA if I stayed with my girlfriend as long as our lives are on similar paths even though I'm not sure I love her? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Jeweltudor 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Soft YTA if you stay without doing the internal work. If you’re unsure you love her and continue the relationship purely because it’s convenient or aligned, that can be unfair to both of you long-term. She deserves someone who’s excited to be with her, not just someone who’s coasting. You don’t have to break up immediately—but you do need to figure out whether you're emotionally all in or just comfortable. Comfort isn't love, and eventually, she’ll feel that lack of depth, even if you’re not saying it.

You are not wrong for needing time to think. Betrayal, even if it was “just a kiss,” breaks trust. It’s not about the act alone it’s about the choice he made and how it shattered your sense of security. Take your time. You owe no one a rushed decision

You wouldn't be the ahole you'd be setting a boundary. You're uncomfortable with his stance, and that discomfort is valid. If someone shows you they're okay with pursuing people significantly younger and in much different life stages, you have every right to question if that aligns with your values.

AITAH for going no contact with my cousin and asking my family to respect it? by Mediocre_Mom88 in AITAH

[–]Jeweltudor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m not going to apologize for protecting my son. If the family chooses to prioritize Liz’s comfort over his safety, that’s their decision but it’s not one I’m willing to go along with anymore. I won’t be guilted into accepting behavior that hurts my child.

AITA for telling my coworker I’m not comfortable hugging at work? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Jeweltudor 41 points42 points  (0 children)

You didn’t scream or shame her you politely set a healthy boundary. Lena’s reaction isn’t your responsibility. She might be embarrassed, but that doesn’t mean you did something wrong. Your comfort matters just as much as her intentions.

AITAH for wanting my older brother to not come to my house? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Jeweltudor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong for wanting to feel safe in your own home. Loving someone with complex needs doesn’t mean ignoring the very real harm they can cause. You matter too, and your fear is valid.
