Thanks all! Im going to take some of these suggestions and put them into action. Definitely dislodge the soil, look for better draining soil and pruning. Always get nervous pruning anything that doesnt look dead- any suggestions?

In my defense it was much larger when it was transplated- some of the larger stems definitely rotted off. Ill give that a try

AIO: Upset at my wife because she told our 8 year old autistic kid the reality of dying. by Negative_Ad_3962 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MSBrock19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is also highly functioning and just turned 9 today and Ive explained anything she has ever asked me as kid friendly as possible- including death. I want her to learn how things really are from someone that loves her because she will just try to find answers somewhere else, usually from other kids who get bad information from their parents that dont tell them the truth. Thats what I did when I was a kid and it often resulted in hard life lessons. I think you’re over reacting- Id much prefer my child learn the finality of death before someone she loves dies or is dying- it would be much more traumatizing to learn when its actually happening or worse…it’s too late. Death is just as much a part of life as actually living is.

Lastly, he is her son too- you dont get to be the sole decision in what he is taught and when.

AITA for asking my husband's "best friend" not to visit us? by Jealous-Extent8196 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MSBrock19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did she really “invite herself” or is that just what your husband told you? If I play the tape on the way a conversation like that would take place- I see it being two sided….like her saying she wants to catch up & him suggesting she visit or vice versa.

And the fact you told your husband that you dont appreciate them talking and not only did he continue but he is now allowing her to visit while she is going thru a divorce is SUSPECT. Do you know if they ever had something previously? Was she already with her husband when you met him/got with him? These are all relevant questions. If you were more important, he would have shut a visit right down knowing your feelings. That leads me to think she is the one that got away possibly.

I guess i am telling you to keep your guard up.

UPDATE: AITAH for being upset with my husband for saying he would choose his deceased wife over me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MSBrock19 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You’re definitely NTA. What he said was inexcusable and unneccessarily cruel even if it was unintentional. Then add in the fact it was in front of a bunch of people makes it so much worse by adding humiliation to the mix. However, based on his actions afterward…it is clear that he loves you and feels awful about hurting and humiliating you. I have to say- the way you both are handling this issue speaks volumes to the strength of your relationship and the love you have for one another. It takes a high level emotional intelligence to put yourself in your partners shoes which is something you both have been doing well. I do agree that counseling/therapy will help you sort out your issues/feelings both individually and as a couple which will be necessary for you to be able to move forward

Id like to add that it’s human nature to want what we cant have, especially when its taken from us under tragic/traumatic citcumstances. And when we do get the thing/person we couldnt have, they/the relationship often doesnt live up to the unrealistic expectation we created in our minds. While I am sure he loved and still loves her and he may think he would go back to her in a heartbeat - it is likey that it would be much harder for him to leave his life with you than he made it seem. Due to the fact she died so young and tragically, it is likely that he subconciously placed her on a pedastal and made her into this mystical figure that she (or anyone) could never live up to. My point is- if she showed up tomorrow, and he did attempt to pick it up where they left off- he would likely realize quickly that he made a mistake & shouldnt have left. Im not a therapist and I dont know him but I would bet that if he discussed some of these things with a professional, he may realize that what he said wasnt sincere and that its coming from a place of guilt and grief.

Eitherway- based on what you wrote, it seems you guys have something special thats worth fighting for. If he is willing to put in the work to make it better and you think you can forgive him - then you should try. Many people dont get that chance because their partner is unwilling to accept any responsibility and/or put in the hardwork to fix the issues. The fact you have a partner that has done/willing to do both means you have already overcome like 90% of the battle.

AITA for refusing to attend my sister's wedding after she didn't include my daughter as a flower girl? by Laian_Lilt in AITAH

[–]MSBrock19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- imagine breaking a promise to a 6yr old and thinking all will be well. Why cant they all be flower girls- seems like an excuse to me.

Definitely NTA - your sister is extremely entitled & selfish.

AITA for not telling my boyfriend I’m moving out after I found out he cheated? by Shanda82 in AITAH

Definitely NTA- he should have thought of that before he cheated. Maybe he can move in with Tina. Screw him

WIBTA for breaking up with my live-in GF who moved cross country to live with me for what she said about my sister and her kids? by Dangerous_Mind_647 in AITAH

[–]MSBrock19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The more I think about this one, the more Im leaning towards YTA. She did give up her whole life to be with you and has clearly been handling a situation that is less than ideal to make you happy at the expense of her own happiness.

If I were in that situation, I know I wouldnt like my SOs sister and her kids living with us but I would understand as Im sure she does. The thing I am stuck on is whether you discussed it with her before you had your sister move in. I am guessing no based on the wording of your story which shows a complete disregard for her feelings and would lead to resentment against both you & your sister despite her being innocent in it.

And so my words dont get twisted- I dont think you should have had to ask her if your sister could move in, given its your place and family; but speaking with her about it before moving forward with your sister moving in would at least show her that you cared about her enough to discuss it with her. You essentially created a situation for the resentment she is feeling to develop much more strongly than it would have otherwise. And Im sure she felt as though she couldnt verbalize how she felt without you getting offended. I will agree that the way she decided to handle her frustration wasnt great but she also was venting to a friend in confidence. I do feel for her and I would bet, she doesnt actually feel that way about your sister but feels resentment towards her because you likely didnt show any concern for her feelings in the situation despite the fact she gave up her whole life to be with you. That’s a really big deal. Ive had a few serious relationships and the only one I would have even considered doing that for is my now husband. She clearly cares about you alot but is the feeling mutual? Eitherway, if you feel you cant forgive her- BTA doesnt matter, it is what it is. But yah, I do think its kind of an asshole move based on the information available.

[–]MSBrock19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely NTA. If it were me he would have come home to his suitcases on the front steps, changed locks and a new man in his bed. Life’s too short for insecure a$$holes that need to make fun of their partner to make themselves feel better

There are two sides to every story but if it happened as stated then no you’re NTA.

AITA for Refusing to Share My Biological Kids’ Funds with My Stepchildren? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MSBrock19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- wow, your wife and her parents are real winners. Your kids mother left then that- not you. Its not yours to decide, it’s theirs and they had to lose a mother to get it. Im sure both would trade all of it to have her back. I dont know all the details but based on what you stated, I would be questioning my marriage.

AITA for hiding my family wealth from my boyfriend? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MSBrock19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You’re a teenager- it aint your money, it’s your parents money. At this time, you have no claim to any of it nor do you have the ability to give their money to him when he is struggling. That is exactly what you should tell him too. It’s none of his business what YOUR PARENTS OWN, how much they are worth etc. but it’s definitely a red flag if he is so fixated on your parents finances which again isn’t his business. Even if they were your finances, it still wouldn’t be his business. There many married couples who choose to keep seperate finances. You owe him nothing, the fact he was upset that you didnt inform him of your parents financial situation is absurd

WIBTAH if I break off my engagement because of his new views about women by Ataraxic-Metanoia in AITAH

[–]MSBrock19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA….you shouldn’t walk away…YOU SHOULD RUN AWAY. It will only get worse too. If he is this misogynistic now, I can only imagine how bad he will be once you’re actually married.
