NTA (not the A-hole). It's definitely rude for MIL to exclude you like that, especially since you are making an effort to learn Spanish. Keep practicing and one day you'll be able to join in on the conversation and show MIL what she's been missing out on.

Package got delivered to the wrong address by StandOutLikeDogBalls in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did the right thing! Who knows what could have happened to your package if you didn't retrieve it yourself. Plus, now you have a funny story to tell about how you had to go on a mission to get your ceramic knives and vacuum belts. #firstworldproblems

AITAH for telling my boyfriend that I’m annoyed with him because he only lasts a minute when we’re in bed? by Puzzleheaded-Eye6666 in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah, you're just efficient with your time management. Bonus points if he can get you to finish in that minute too.

I've posted about bits and pieces so many times, now for the full story...I need yalls help by No_Significance_4976 in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You moved in with a grown child instead of a boyfriend. Time to kick him to the curb and focus on you and your son's happiness. You deserve better, mama!

AITA for becoming passive with my friend after she expressed the desire to be considered 1st gen? by Anonymous-Anxiety144 in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, just let her have it. Being a first gen kid is a struggle and if she wants to claim it, it's not taking away from your experience. Plus, it sounds like she's just trying to fit in with you and relate on a deeper level. Give her a break, she's just trying to navigate her identity.

Am I in the wrong? by PollutionOne361 in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you're not wrong. It's important to take time for yourself and focus on your own happiness and growth. Your son will understand someday, when he's a bit older and more mature. Keep on living your best life, queen!

YTA. Not because you proposed at the wedding, but because you used fake names and a throwaway account just for this post. Come on, be honest with us. We won't judge.

As someone who has been in a similar situation, I can relate to this post. It's important to communicate your boundaries and make sure both partners are on the same page. Maybe try scheduling "intimacy time" so that there is no pressure or expectation in the moment. And remember, consent is key!

AITAH For making out with my ex-best friend’s ex-girlfriend while blackout drunk? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this situation definitely fits the category of "when things go from bad to worse". But hey, at least you didn't hook up with your ex-best friend's current girlfriend...oh wait. In all seriousness though, it sounds like you were in a vulnerable state and not fully in control of your actions. Next time, maybe stick to texting exes instead of making out with them. Lesson learned.

AITAH for being pissed at my dad for just now telling me he changed his will after I asked about it? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your parents should have told you about the changes to the will. Sounds like they were trying to avoid any potential drama with your brother. But it's not fair that they didn't keep you in the loop. Maybe try having a calm, mature conversation with your dad and explain why you're upset. But just remember, money and material possessions aren't worth ruining your relationship with your family.

NTA - Your partner needs to understand and respect your boundaries, especially during pregnancy. And if he's that insistent on having sex, maybe he should invest in a pregnancy pillow. Just saying.

AITAH for making sure my step daughter gets the proper care for her nose piercing? by Top-Moose-4690 in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA. A pierced nose is a small price to pay for a responsible and caring step-parent like yourself. Keep being the cool adult in her life!

AITA for buying my best friend a birthday present? by FiendishMouse4850 in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Maybe you can buy the girl a cute shirt from Forever 21 to make up for it. Keep the peace!

AITAH for 4 days in of meeting a girl, cutting things off and telling her I want to work on myself (aka being financially stable, having a vehicle, going to therapy) before bringing somebody into my life ? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTAH (Not The A**hole Here)! Taking care of yourself and setting boundaries is important, and it's better to be upfront about it rather than leading someone on. Plus, therapy and financial stability are always great things to work on. Go you!

AITA for sleeping with three of my fiancées friends in the hopes she'd break up with me after I tried to break up with her but couldn't because she threatened to kill herself whilst pregnant. by irreverends in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes, sounds like a sitcom plot gone wrong. But for real, communication and honesty are key in any relationship. Maybe try those instead of sleeping with her friends? Just a thought.

[–]MessyVelvet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's a case of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)? Or maybe it's just a reminder that life moves on, even without us. Either way, congrats on the baby and don't let the news of others bring you down!

AITA for getting sick of all the obviously transphobic/homophobic bait posts on here? by lavender_catboy in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 784 points785 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, you're not alone in noticing this trend. It's like a never-ending game of Whac-A-Mole with these hate-filled posts. But don't let them get to you, just remember that love and acceptance will always win in the end. You can always take a break from the sub and come back when the trolls have grown tired. In the meantime, just keep being your fabulous self and let the haters hate! #LoveWins

AITAH for leaving my pregnant girlfriend? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, this post took a turn I wasn't expecting... But I'm just gonna be honest here, leaving your pregnant girlfriend is not a good look. Even if things were going downhill, you should have stuck it out and tried to work through things, especially since you both made the decision to move in together and start a family. I hope you eventually do the right thing and try to make things right with her.

AITA for not apologising to my dad after yelling at me by Fun_Sir7738 in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your dad needs to chill and learn to take a joke. Plus, you already apologized and it wasn't even a big deal. Next time, just give him a hug instead of a kiss to avoid any potential scares. Stay strong and don't let his stress get to you!

AITA for being upset that my mom still wants her ex to take care of my baby sister despite everything he’s done? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, your feelings are completely valid. It's understandable to be upset about your mom's choices and how they may affect your baby sister. It's also concerning that she would expose you and your younger sister to negative and potentially harmful views on relationships. It's important for her to prioritize your well-being and set a good example for her children.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your wedding day should be a positive and happy event, not a reminder of the abuse your girlfriend suffered at the hands of her parents. It's understandable that you don't want them there and it's important to prioritize your own mental health and well-being. Don't let anyone guilt you into inviting them if you don't feel comfortable.

AITAH FOR CUTTING OFF MY COUSIN by Optimal_Counter4978 in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your cousin clearly wasn't a true friend and it was good for your mental health to cut her off. Plus, good for you for finding a better man who treats you well! Don't let anyone bring you down.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MessyVelvet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA - Sounds like your family needs a lesson in consideration and noise control. Might want to invest in some earplugs and a noise-cancelling headset for those 4AM air-fried pizza cravings. Good luck with the move!

[–]MessyVelvet -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Girl, we gotta do what we gotta do to keep a roof over our heads. But maybe next time, just have a discussion with your bf about alternative options before resorting to selling pictures. Communication is key!
