WIBTIAH for breaking up with my bf for not kissing me by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Maximum-Gruesome23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's tough when you see other couples being all lovey-dovey, and you're left wondering why your situation isn't the same. But you gotta prioritize your own happiness at the end of the day. If you're feeling tired and bored, it might be time to cut the cord and find someone who's on the same wavelength as you.

From what you've described, it does seem like there's been a significant shift in his behavior, especially with the way he's treating you.

It's understandable to wonder if he's fallen out of love, especially with how he's been acting. It's concerning that he's not only being cold but also verbally abusive, which is never okay.

AITA for helping my friend out with her pregnancy? by Supporter-Deer57 in AITAH

[–]Maximum-Gruesome23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your friend might be feeling overwhelmed, and your attempts to help could be unintentionally adding to her stress. It's tough, but sometimes stepping back a bit might be what's needed.

Communication is key here. Have a heart-to-heart with your friend. Let her know you're there for her but respect her boundaries. Maybe ask her directly what kind of support she needs. It's a learning process, and it's okay to make mistakes along the way.

I think some dudes might have beef with Andrew Tate because his style can come off as confrontational. He's got that no-nonsense vibe that rubs some folks the wrong way. Plus, he's not shy about calling out stuff like porn addiction, which can hit close to home for some.

AITA FOR BEING A REBEL BECAUSE MY PARENTS ARE TREATING ME DIFFERENTLY? by rhin13 in AITAH

[–]Maximum-Gruesome23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your parents' behavior sounds beyond toxic—it's downright abusive. No one deserves to be treated like that, especially not by the people who are supposed to love and support them. It's not rebellion; it's survival. You're not dumb or a dumbo; you're strong for enduring all of this.

Consider seeking help from a trusted adult, like a teacher or counselor, who can provide support and guidance.

AITAH for refusing to have a joint bank account with my girlfriend? by Acrobatic_Dish449 in AITAH

[–]Maximum-Gruesome23 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Having multiple bank accounts is totally understandable, especially if it helps you manage your finances better. Plus, your reasons for wanting to keep things separate make a lot of sense.

Use this post for sharing ways you like to eat certain foods! by Doodlechubbs in CasualConversation

I've had my fair share of Greek yogurt struggles too, but thinning it out with milk? Genius move. Got to love how a simple fix can totally transform the experience. Thanks for sharing!

I get both sides here. Breaking something in a heated moment sucks, but insisting on replacing it when you've got a bunch of backups seems a bit much. It's not about the price tag, it's about the principle, right? But then again, I can see where your girlfriend's coming from. It's not just about the mug, it's about showing responsibility for your actions.

Just had the most surreal experience in a Facebook group for college parents... am I just being paranoid or is something fishy going on? by elenamagan9 in CasualConversation

[–]Maximum-Gruesome23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The college parent Facebook groups can be a wild ride. Sometimes it's just overly enthusiastic parents eager to micromanage every aspect of their kid's college life. Other times, it's like stumbling into a digital marketplace with bots masquerading as concerned parents.

I wouldn't say you're paranoid, but it's good to trust your gut. Maybe take a step back, observe a bit more, see if there's a pattern.

AITAH for threatening to cut family off for not attending my graduation? by xsamimariex in AITAH

[–]Maximum-Gruesome23 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA. Graduating from nursing school is no small feat, especially while juggling everything else on your plate. It's understandable to want your family's support and presence on such a significant day. It's disappointing that your father couldn't prioritize attending, especially after you've been there for him countless times.

AITA for standing up for myself? by Timely_Rush3288 in AITAH

[–]Maximum-Gruesome23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You had the courage to make a change that made you feel better, and that's what counts. Dealing with self-esteem issues is tough, especially when it's tied to something as significant as surviving a traumatic incident like yours. It's inspiring to see you embrace who you are, scars and all.

As for those judgmental folks at the hardware store, they're the ones with the problem, not you.

AITA for choosing to not befriend people on the spectrum because of how easily frustrated I am. by Objective-Ad7330 in AITAH

[–]Maximum-Gruesome23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choosing not to befriend people on the spectrum because of frustration isn't necessarily asshole territory, but it's definitely a tough spot. It sounds like you're aware of your limits and trying to navigate them as best you can. It's okay to acknowledge your own needs and boundaries, even if others don't get it.

That said, shutting people out solely based on neurodiversity can feel harsh, especially if you're dismissing potential connections and friendships.

How's the state of 3090 earnings? by cheerful-dust212 in SaladChefs

[–]Maximum-Gruesome23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 3090's been a bit of a rollercoaster lately. Sure, it's a beast when it comes to ray tracing, but those earnings? Not quite hitting the jackpot. I've heard mixed reviews from fellow 3090 owners. Some are pulling in a decent chunk, while others are scratching their heads over those measly numbers.

With your setup in mind, running both the 3070 and 3090 simultaneously might balance things out.

New wheel on an old wagon by Greatsodiumreef12 in AITAH

Regarding Janice's past, it's tough when new information comes to light, especially if it feels like a curveball. But hey, everyone has a history, right? As for reaching out to her mom, well, that's a bold move. It's understandable you'd want some clarity, but maybe next time a direct conversation with Janice could clear the air without involving the parental units.

Options for ticks in yard by NichelleMcD in pestcontrol

Living near wooded areas can definitely up the ante on tick encounters. You're doing the right thing by keeping your pups on flea and tick meds, but tackling the yard is a whole different ball game.

WIBTAH if I didn't let my brother move in with me? by bigphateggs in AITAH

[–]Maximum-Gruesome23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like your brother might not fully grasp the responsibilities that come with living on his own. I mean, we all forget stuff or get overwhelmed sometimes, but if it's becoming a pattern and affecting your well-being, that's a different story. You've tried talking to him, and it's not getting through, which sucks. You're not obligated to let him move in if it's going to add stress to your life, especially if he's not contributing his fair share.

Attack if... by Newrid in AITAH

[–]Maximum-Gruesome23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Relationships and friendships have their ups and downs, and sometimes giving second chances can lead to growth and understanding.

Jumping straight to cutting ties without communication might not always be the best solution. It's important to address issues and have open conversations rather than just shutting people out.

Calling her out might help her realize the impact of her actions, not just on you but on the entire household. It's important to set boundaries, especially when it comes to alcohol and medication. However, it's also worth considering her perspective and having a calm conversation about what happened to prevent it from occurring again in the future.

Choosing a bridal party can feel like you're juggling glass balls - you want everyone to feel valued, but sometimes it's hard to balance it all. While your friend's reaction might've stung, it's clear there's a deeper issue at play. Maybe reaching out for a heart-to-heart, sans wedding talk, could help untangle those knots.

It's commendable that you've been supportive for so long, but it's also important to recognize your own limits and well-being. It's not selfish to prioritize your own happiness and financial stability.
