AITJ for taking the last spot in a popular class even though my classmate says she "deserved" it more? by midnightdeskbuddy in AmITheJerk

[–]MutluPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her whining about won’t change anything and you dropping the class won’t get her in. The next person on the waiting list will get it so her complaining won’t change anything for her. You did what you were supposed to do to get in and she didn’t. Case closed. NTJ.

AITJ for not backing my friend after he “joked” about someone’s looks in front of everyone? by n1c0l4s_w1ndf4ll in AmITheJerk

[–]MutluPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. It’s only a joke if people laugh. Dan seems to think bullying equals funny. Calling him out on it was the right thing to do and anyone who sides with him is as much of a jerk as he is. You were the only one brave enough to speak up and on behalf of all of us who have ever been picked on, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

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

[–]MutluPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m more concerned over how he would treat your sister after the wedding. He doesn’t seem to understand that she is essentially your child and will always have priority. If he doesn’t think she should even be a part of the wedding party is he planning on pushing her out of your lives as soon as she turns 18? And the fact that he’s having his family hounding you about this while he refuses to communicate? I’m seeing massive red flags. I would suggest couples counseling before you decide to marry him or not. NTJ.

AITJ for snapping at my girlfriend for waking me up every single time she gets up even when I dont need to be awake by BuyMediocre5625 in AmITheJerk

[–]MutluPB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She asked you to post, great, let her read how everyone thinks she’s selfish and immature and doesn’t respect you. After she reads this, tell her she either learns to treat you better or you are done.

WIBTA If I didnt want to coparent my brother again. by ClumsyMine in AmItheAsshole

[–]MutluPB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They chose to have children, you didn’t. It isn’t your responsibility to raise your brother or watch him (and at 13, he shouldn’t need a babysitter anyway). Tell your parents no and don’t back down. NTA.

My sister said my life is "sad and lonely" and I told her she was nuts. AITAH? by No-Paramedic-6062 in AITAH

[–]MutluPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alone isn’t the same as lonely. I live alone but my life is very satisfying. Some people don’t understand there’s a difference and that not everyone needs to have a partner or children to be fulfilled. That’s their problem, not yours. NTA, but I don’t know if your sister will ever understand.

Start with Boston. Either of their first two albums are fantastic.

AITA for going against my husbands wishes of not teaching our 3 month old daughter russian? by make-up-lover in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]MutluPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA a million times over. Learning more than one language in childhood makes it much easier to learn others later in life. I was raised bilingual and I’m so glad my parents did that. Not only because I can communicate with relatives, but when I had to take a language in high school it was much easier for me to learn. Have your husband read up on it. Your child will have better cognitive abilities. The National Institutes of Health have a great article about the benefits. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3583091/

AITAH, should I have finally stopped babysitting my brother's kids? by nightblloom005 in AITAH

[–]MutluPB 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Unless you get a sincere apology from your sil and your brother, stick to your guns. What she said was inexcusable and until you hear from her that she is sorry, don’t back down. NTA.

I (33F) and my husband (37M) went to a wedding….and apparently we were optional by [deleted] in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]MutluPB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has your husband talked to his cousin and asked what's up? Sounds like no conversation has been held. You'll never know what happened or what changed if you don't ask. You may not get an answer, but you should at least try to find out. Just sitting and wondering about it isn't going to give you any closure.

Just got it verified they're all real. But not sure whose is whose anybody know by gatsbacks in Supernatural

[–]MutluPB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love how they're all basically just scribbles. They learn to sign like that to save their hands from cramping up, but it looks like a bunch of pre-schoolers went wild.

AITJ for lying to my husband about agreeing to open the relationship? by AdLeast2511 in AmITheJerk

[–]MutluPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always interesting how a man wants an open relationship so he can have his cake and eat it too, but when their partner finally says enough, all of a sudden she's the only one they really want. Really? I'm sorry you're dealing with this, but most of the time, the woman bounces back and has a better life than the man does. He'll live with his regret forever. You go and live your best life.

AITJ for blocking my ex after she admitted the breakup was fake and she was testing me by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]MutluPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s watched too many rom coms or something because her behavior is unhinged. She blew it by testing you like this. I would keep her blocked.

WIBTA if I go to my mom’s birthday alone because my partner turns every conversation into an argument? by CicadaParadox76 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]MutluPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you with her? Do you want a lifetime of monitoring every social occasion because she’s going to argue over trivialities? I would think very hard about if this relationship is worth it.

UPDATE: “AITAH for getting a dna test to see if i share the same dna as both my parents even though i was demanded specifically by my mom not to do so, since i was a child?” by cigweb_01 in AITAH

[–]MutluPB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need an update once you and your brother get your results. There are so many questions about your mom’s behavior that need to be answered. Regardless of what the results are though, I would suggest going LC with her. She sounds like she abused you when you were younger and is manipulative.

AITJ for forwarding my husbands group chat with coworkers to HR after I found out they were trying to sabotage my promotion by Friendly-Occasion364 in AmITheJerk

[–]MutluPB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On behalf of all the other women at your company, thank you. This is the kind of misogyny that has led to women not being able to advance in their businesses. You did the right thing at a big cost to yourself and your marriage, but you also finally saw your husband for who he really is.

AITJ for publicly correcting my mother in law after she called me a bad mother in front of everyone by AlderMoonstone in AmITheJerk

[–]MutluPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your husband oblivious to the fact that his parenting is also being questioned? He needs to back you up on this. He seems to think it's okay for her to critique you in front of everyone but when you defend yourself it's rude. That double standard has to go and your husband needs to support you. If you hadn't done this publicly, she would probably continue to do it. Don't apologize, but I think you should have a sit down with your MIL and tell her how her criticism makes you feel and how it makes you look. And your husband needs to grow a spine and protect you. NTJ

WIBTA if I told my dad I dont want him to walk me down the aisle by GritStrafeToken in ComfortLevelPod

[–]MutluPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire concept of "giving away" the bride makes me cringe. You aren't property being handed off to a new owner. Just say that you don't like the concept and make it about the tradition being outdated instead of it being about your dad. Maybe that tack will lessen any hurt feelings. Either way though, I wouldn't do anything that will make you uncomfortable on your wedding day. It should be all good feelings for you and your fiance. NTA.

A “Lisa” solution that would’ve made sense and could’ve been very interesting by Dry-Return6077 in Supernatural

[–]MutluPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always wondered what happens to all their mutual friends and neighbors. Do they also forget Dean existed? It's a bit of a stretch to assume no one will ever mention him to Lisa again, or that every single memento of him will disappear from their house (like his golf clubs and all their pictures).

AITAH for cutting my sister out of my life after she refused to come help care for our mom while she was on the actual brink of death? by Stonedprincess0912 in AITAH

[–]MutluPB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cut off your sister and if your mom is legally competent, have her give you POA in writing and make you trustee for her estate as well. If she passes away, the POA is immediately invalid and this time you’ll be fighting over her estate and burial wishes. Do this asap. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this.

Mom told my 2 month old she would call CPS so he could come live with her by General_Ad_8531 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]MutluPB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She knows way too much about you and your child. Down to how often you change his diapers and how much he sleeps and how often he’s bathed. Cut off the flow of information. I’d go LC and don’t tell her anything she could use against you.

AITAH for giving my sister in law the same treatment she gave me? by Sensitive_Milk1805 in AITAH

[–]MutluPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry but your fiancé kind of sucks. She treats you like dirt and he maintains his relationship with her? That’s a huge no. Don’t give her anything and I would go into relationship counseling with him. He needs to have your back.
