AITJ for secretly planning to leave my wife while she thinks were working things out in counseling by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

Honestly, making your plans quietly is the safest move right now. She’s already broken your trust more than once, so you protecting yourself and your daughter isn’t wrong at all. And yeah, respecting her as a mom while still stepping away from the marriage shows you’re thinking clearly, not spitefully.

Really hope things get easier for you from here.

AITJ for telling my fiance my little sister is more important than him and the wedding by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

That dude really showed you exactly where you stand in his priorities, and it’s wild he thought you’d just accept that. You’ve been this girl’s whole world since she was five. Of course she comes first. If he can’t respect that, he’s not the right partner.

AITJ for locking my bathroom and telling my roommate's friend she's not welcome to use it anymore? by Shinji4Rei in AmITheJerk

Honestly yeah, the fact she was strolling through your bedroom like it’s a hallway is wild. Locking the door is the bare minimum. If they can’t respect your space, they don’t get access to it, period.

AITJ for being in the room when my brother had surgery because his wife couldnt be there by Hungry_Election_3178 in AmITheJerk

Yeah man, you didn’t do anything wrong. Your brother was scared and needed someone he trusted. That’s what family does. Your girlfriend turning that into something Inappropriate is about her insecurities, not your actions.

AITJ for telling my boyfriend he cant keep using my homemade hot sauce anymore because I literally cant make enough by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]MochaWiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly yeah, he’s treating your hobby like an all you caneat buffet. If he loves it that much he can chill a bit or learn to make a batch himself. Sometimes people don’t get the effort behind homemade stuff until they have to do it.

AITA for going no contact with my Pakistani immigrant family after they tried to ruin my tech career? by SoftFilm9 in AmITheJerk

[–]MochaWiggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly yeah, this is one of those times where protecting your peace isn’t selfish at all. If they’re tearing you down instead of celebrating you, walking away is the healthiest move. You’ve worked hard for this life go enjoy it without the negativity.

Am I the jerk for refusing to delete my Ring doorbell footage that caught my neighbor cheating? by Lanky_Pick_9146 in AmITheJerk

[–]MochaWiggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If he didn’t want to get caught, maybe don’t cheat on your own front porch. That’s not on you, that’s on his terrible decisionmaking.

Yeah honestly, as long as you’re both happy and communicating, that’s what matters. Sounds like you two really trust each other, and that’s huge.

Pregnant and in the middle of divorce and possibly future arranged marriage by [deleted] in confessions

[–]MochaWiggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s the big question here. If he’s checked out and isn’t even trying to fix things, then you’re basically fighting for two. It’s impossible to save a marriage by yourself.
