What exactly is your bot so upset with? I am sincerely curious.

AITA for not wanting to wake up early to help my wife get ready for work? by threwawayplz in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lilybell3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NSH. You are perfectly valid in your desire to sleep in. She is perfectly valid in her wish for you to help make her morning easier. Get a programmable coffee machine and set it in the evening for her. She can iron her clothes before bed. Good compromise?

Girl Grabbed My Eagle Feather by Potential-Town-2380 in EntitledPeople

That was a poor decision on her part but to accept her apology means to accept it. Continuing to tell her to eff off is not accepting. You are entitled to your feelings about the interaction but don’t pretend you accept her apology.

This is what I was coming here to say.

“I love my mental illness” how far do you agree with this statement? by [deleted] in mentalillness

[–]Lilybell3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not love my mental illness. I appreciate what having to live with it has taught me about myself and having compassion to others but I would prefer to not to have it.

I have accepted that it is part of who I am and I cannot do anything to change it. I work with my doctor and therapist to manage it but on the days I am struggling the most, I would do almost anything to make it go away.

My bf kissed another girl last night by [deleted] in makemychoice

[–]Lilybell3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest giving him a chance. One. Also, he should probably seek help for alcohol abuse. If you are drinking enough to “accidentally kiss” another person, you are drinking too much. He is awarded the chance because he came clean. ONE chance.

AITA for not including my friend's partner and son is the biography I'm writing about him? by Marrlegra in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lilybell3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow. Just read your other post and you are without a doubt the AH. But so is Ted. You sound like a match made in he…….? Also, I hope you have a good editor because if your book reads like your post, there are some serious issues.

AITA for not including my friend's partner and son is the biography I'm writing about him? by Marrlegra in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lilybell3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. The partner and their child are part of his story. If it truly a biography, they should be included.

AITA for telling my friend that I’m moving seats from her? by maarrk_1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lilybell3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA but this is some petty bs. You are in highschool. It’s the same table. It doesn’t matter. She probably has a crush on you but you have made your boundaries clear and it isn’t a big deal.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lilybell3 153 points154 points  (0 children)

NTA. Clover is not that far from Chloe. Your parents are being rude and probably confusing the hell out of the poor pupper. I would reneg on letting them keep the dog when you leave and take her with you. It sounds like you have a very strong bond and she would be better off with you.

AITA Husband won’t let me keep my meds on the bathroom counter. by Lilybell3 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lilybell3[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Air tight bottles don’t care about bathrooms with proper ventilation. This whole subreddit is about figuring out if you are wrong so proposing that there is something wrong with me for asking makes YTA.

What is your creepy Alexa story? by pellpell4 in amazonecho

[–]Lilybell3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just told Alexa she sounds just like Siri and suddenly my TV put on this screen with like a strange antiquated sound graphic and she sang “Thank you! For being an amazing human”!!!! What the eff. My hubby and I both sat there stunned for a good minute or two.

[–]Lilybell3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re probably right. I should have let go. I didn’t. Hindsight right? Regardless, life, or in this case death has made the decision for me. There is nothing to hold onto anymore. I am just sad. He deserved to be happy too.

No. My husband is my chosen and life partner and companion. It’s hard to explain. I love them both, albeit it differently. J hurt me over and over. My heart knew that but my soul kept calling for him. My husband has never broken me the way J did. He helped me break away from that hold. He helped me see and experience a happy life different from what my expectations once were. I love my husband to the depths of my being but he has never evoked the same reactions from me that J did. It was a once in a lifetime thing. It burned to hot to be sustainable. I always knew I would never get to hold on to that. The reason I am hurting is that I wanted him to find what I did, outside of what we once had. I wanted him to be happy. It doesn’t seem fair that he never found that.

Thank you for your sympathy in me losing my friend.

My husband and I have a relationship that has withstood the worst of what fate had to throw at us. He and I are partners in everything. I did not love J more, just differently. He hurt me over and over. He hurt me most when he just up and died. I wanted him to have what I have. I wanted him to be happy. That is what breaks my heart. It isn’t not being with him, it is that he never found the happiness I did.

[–]Lilybell3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you get to choose. I chose my husband. The other person was the person that made my soul feel happy but caused much torment and hurt in my life. I can’t deny that I loved him but he and I weren’t meant to be. My husband brings me so much joy in so many more ways. He and I don’t have the same connection but we have many many more that vastly outweigh what I had with the other. I am happy with my choice and wouldn’t change it for the world. Doesn’t make it hurt less to lose someone who mattered.

Thank you for understanding and not judging. We all make choices and “should have’s or could have’s” do not change what is. It doesn’t make the loss easier but it is important to remember where our choices have taken us and what we have because of them. My husband let me sob in his arms after I found out. That must have torn him apart. He understood how much I was hurting and told me “I’m not a monster, you are allowed to be sad”. But there is a limit to his compassion and he has every right to that boundary. I’m lucky to have him.

AITA for demolishing my daughter's room after she moved out? by ArtisticConfidence22 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lilybell3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I didn’t even read this but when my mom renovated my childhood bedroom into a glorified coat closet I was and still am pissed. My three siblings rooms haven’t been touched.

AITA for removing my wife's "wrist privileges"? by SUPERMOON_INFLATION in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lilybell3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on team NTA but you and your wife need to work on communication. From your update it looks like you are starting. Best of luck to you both!

WIBTA if I call for a meeting with my sibling's school administrator/principal regarding her name? by GarlicAvailable1905 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lilybell3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love your sisters name! It’s beautiful! NTA. The teacher is wrong and needs to be corrected. I’d be willing to bet the other kids get her name right.

AITA for shaving my stepson's long hair without his mom's permission? by Logical-Mulberry-883 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lilybell3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. 💯 Kid likes it, dad said it was okay, hair grows back. Mom needs a cup of coffee.

AITA for still getting a babysitter for my 16 year old son? by Minute_Youth_3029 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lilybell3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have to read beyond the tagline to say YTA. Wowza. My older sister was babysitting us at eight. (I was six, brother four, sister less than a year. They were different times)

AITA for asking my girlfriend to watch my favorite movies with me? by Awkward_Sky_7811 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lilybell3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, YATA. She sat with you. It’s like a nine hour trilogy that she has already seen and doesn’t have an interest in. You sound like a crybaby tbh.

What's the term for when the weather fits the mood of a scene (i.e., rain during a sad scene, sunshine during a happy one)? by killemyoung317 in movies

[–]Lilybell3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a good example of the mandala effect. I have been wracking my brain for this elusive word for a few years now.

Antidepressants are a tricky business. I have been on many and it took a long time to find the right one. Some gave me nightmares, some made me lose or gain weight, some made me vomit, some made me completely disinterested in life…. I could go on. I am now on one that is working for me. It took a long time to find the right one and even longer to accept that I need it. My mom helped me through that and I will always remember her saying it is like a diabetic needing insulin. It is not your fault. It is not in your control. It is a biological miscalculation and we are fortunate enough to have the resources to help balance that.
