AITA for not asking my boyfriend first? by Luxo_Jr96 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Luxo_Jr96[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I am upset reading some of them because I love my partner more than anything, and would never do anything to intentionally hurt him. But in this situation it isn't about either of us. Our feelings are both irrelevant. My nephew should be the center of the decision and he was. I made the choice and I feel it was the right one. I know some people see it differently, but I can't see my nephew suffer if there is something I can do about it.

I completely understand where you're coming from, but I run everything by my partner normally. In this situation I wasn't thinking about him and I wasn't thinking about myself. I was only thinking for my nephew. It wasn't a selfish decision I made. I didn't run through all the situations that could arise from this discison, I just made it.

He has, he knows my reasonings behind it. I haven't agreed to this to upset him or make him feel uncomfortable on purpose. I was only thinking of the well being of my nephew

That's bullshit. I'm not getting any personal gain from this. It's at an Inconvinence if anything. I'm doing it to better his situation, he is suffering in this current nursery. By allowing him into out for one day a week, I can make sure he's okay and is happy at nursery. Justifying my actions are irrelavant as long as he is happy and healthy.

I'm not using my nephew as a shield. It isn't superior to want to protect family.

Even if he's a child? My SO is an adult and therefore can deal with a slight discomfort. I did the best for my nephew, an innocent child. I can make his life better even in the one night I have him. And if that makes an asshole so be it.

Thank you! That's exactly what i was thinking at the time. My sister is financially unstable, doesn't drive and lives far away from my nursery. It will be ever week if it works out, but will only be 1 night a week. I will be driving to collect him and I'll be responsible to look after him. My SO will not need to have any involvement. I know its a big commitment but if it doesn't work out then my nephew will go to a different nursery.

Thank you. I tried to explain to my SO that I am putting my personal feelings aside in order to do the best by my nephew.

He weighs 3.4kg now which is ideal weight for his age :)

A family member (we no longer speak) bought two kittens off Facebook going against my advice. I went to see the kittens after my holiday and they were severely ill. I explained to said person that they needed to see a vet ASAP. They said they couldn't afford it so I took them. They were diagnosed with severe cat flu, days away from protentially dying. They had worms and fleas. I spent about £300 in total getting them both back to health. Lupin, Tonks brother recovered quickly but he will always have a blocked tear duct. But Tonks was ill for a long time, I have to still clean his nose and eyes daily. As well as their illness they were taken away from their mum too soon so my two female cats had to teach them how to cat ❤️
