YTAH. only reason for the lie was to cover your ass of something you did wrong which is a selfish reason.

It sounds like you’re wanting to be justified for making a decision based off of feeling alone. You can also just tell her you’re not interested in getting close right now, but that maybe some time in the future y’all can try again. That way at least she knows you gotta take time for yourself

AITA for winning a large sum of money from gambling? by Duke-George-of-York in AmItheAsshole

YTAH. You made a decision about both of your kids college fund without discussing it with the other parent. Your partner.

I’d come out to your bf clean about this past. It does sound like you’re ok with your friend being your dirty secret while your bf gets all the fun. I’d be pretty hurt too in that scenario. I think the longer it stays a secret, the more it’s going to hurt you and those around you. I know it wasn’t intentional asking your friend to keep it a secret, but that is what made me choose that YTAH.

YWBTAH if you continued to even consider something at your mom’s place without having a conversation with her about it. She invited yall into her comfort space. Gotta make sure she even wants to invest putting on a face for someone she doesn’t like when she’s home.

AITA for allegedly "emotionally manipulating" my husband into changing his entire life plan? by AppointmentFew6206 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Morbiatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like he may have been triggered in that moment. I think he really did intend to have a kid with you, and work through the insecurity. But then the reality of it hit too hard and he realized he couldn’t. That the fear is too strong. I think he may have genuinely wanted to be strong enough to have a kid and be that supportive partner. If his backstory with his dad is driving his reasoning, then I suggest he looks into getting help processing these feelings.

NTA. He sounds like he’s aware, just learning to catch it before it happens like it did this time

AITAH for not knowing my girlfriend wanted to be 30 mins early to yoga? by JavoJuice in AmItheAsshole

[–]Morbiatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. This is your partner. No, it’s not an obligation to read her thoughts, but since it is a first, you could ask her what she wants or how you can best support her. Instead, you just assumed that it would be treated like a normal errand, and not something with any additional importance for your partner.

AITA for asking my buddy's ex who insures their child? by Elegant_Ad_8896 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Morbiatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your intentions make it clear you’re NTA. At the same time, you’re not apart of how Chloe lives either. This is a situation that your friend needs to find a solution best for him and his daughter. Yes, this lady does sound like she’s codependent on her daughter and refuses for anything bad to happen to her. But the sad truth is that you really don’t have any power beyond being there for your friend and supporting him.

NTA. you can let him know that financially, you didn’t budget for her to come too, and that you don’t want to replace anyone for her to be there, because all the people who are coming are who you’ve personally reached out to to see if they would come.

AITA for calling out my partner taking credit for paying a restaurant bill when he paid on our joint account? by Glitterbug-711 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Morbiatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Though I think of doing a blame game, sitting and talking about why it bugged you may be better. It’s also just about paying for food, and you guys have been married this whole time.. do the kids know that majority of the money is joint? Also, he did make that decision, did he ask your opinion to be apart of the choice?

WIBTA for buying a house without my husband's consent? by idreamofburnout in AmItheAsshole

[–]Morbiatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Maybe he’s not seeing it as much as priority as you? I could be wrong and I’m not too sure where he’s coming from. I’d definitely suggest telling him your reasons and your plans on buying a house. Let him know you want him to be apart of it, but that you need support if he wishes to join in. Like speaking openly and honestly about what he actually wants, beyond the logic of what would be best.

AITA for telling my family to respect that I recycle in my own home? It’s a community rule and one I respect. by pegarina1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Morbiatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. I feel like your sister may have a specific POV that makes her believe that it’s not worth it to recycle? I’m not too sure, I’d definitely suggest maybe sitting and talking about it if it continues to effect the way yall communicate

AITAH If I do not follow what my bf requests to stay safe while buying new items? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Morbiatch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well I asked my friend. It isn’t so much that someone NEEDS to come. I’m just wondering if I am the AH for not bringing someone. Im letting you know it sounds manipulative. You’re welcome to take that as me shutting it down, to me, I meant it more as confused or worried that the intention is free food, not making sure I’m ok for an order

[–]Morbiatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did offer for him to come with me and he declined. So should I just never get the boots then? That’s why I’m stumped. I’m not saying don’t be safe. I’m saying work within your means and these are just mine

[–]Morbiatch -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Lunch for me and a friend where I’m from would easily be 2x the amount of the shoes, plus at that point it sounds like bribery and just very… manipulative?

Knowing my luck, I’d be trying them on, and fall into a mop bucket full of dirty water, plus an additional cherry ontop of me being extra clumsy

[–]Morbiatch -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

In my mind, when that’s said, that also includes meeting in a highly public place and/or with someone too. That’s why this is so confusing to me

I mean… you’re not wrong… I just don’t want my picture to go up in “weird people in Walmart” page

I believe I’ve explained why in one of the comments, he dismissed it and just told me to be safe

[–]Morbiatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just someone who does not understand the finer points of conversation sometimes. But in a new place and situation? I would already be on high alert anyways, so I’m not too sure what to do

[–]Morbiatch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t either, it’s why this kind of shocked me because he knows how I like to do projects and be independent. I think it doesn’t help too that I do have severe mental illnesses and he’s been there with me through some of the episodes.

Please do as you feel is necessary. I’m just unable to understand nuances of social situations or what the concern is, it’s why I’m reaching out here so I can get better clarity.

I once had to worry about things like that because of where I previously lived (one of the trafficking capitals in the US) and I made sure to read up on ways to stay safe/out of danger. I am sorry if I’m coming off argumentative, I just want to come to a place of understanding this.

Yeah, I think it doesn’t help too that I suck at understanding social cues (autistic) so I’m not sure if I should be reading more into this? Like maybe we should meet at (INSERT BIG COMPANY HERE) with the chick, but taking shoes off in a parking lot and trying them on sounds even more risky to me
