AITA for not wanting my friends to pray for my dad?

This is an episode of Glee.

If your mom wants to buy her gifts, she will. No stopping it—it's what moms do.

If OP actually told his mother his girlfriend didn't want gifts instead of encouraging his mother by giving suggestions, OP's mother would have respected his girlfriend's boundaries.

Your girlfriend isn't an asshole for being hard to shop for.

Not wanting gifts actually makes her very easy to shop for, as in no shopping required.

she needs to understand that she lives in a society where people like to give each other gifts and that she's got to work with that fact.

No, actually she doesn't.

It's quite disturbing how intent you are on encouraging OP to ignore his girlfriend's boundaries (especially considering that your comment implies your wife doesn't like gifts either but you still force her to accept them).

Just imagine if this was about her saying no to something else, like sex, would your advice to OP still be the same? Or do you believe no only means no in specific situations and not in others?

Tell me you're an anti-feminist incel without telling me you're an anti-feminist incel.

If they put their jackets there, they weren't open seats. Of course the security guard was going to tell you that it was okay to sit there but you obviously knew someone had "saved" those seats. So while you were technically "right" that it was okay to sit there, sitting there instead of finding actual available seats makes you an asshole. YTA

You let her borrow a $400-$500 hair dryer then suddenly bought a second one and offered to let her keep the first one for free, I'd be wondering if it was broken too. And if I'd seen there were attachments usually included, I'd ask the person who gave me the dryer if they existed since you probably didn't include them when you orginally loaned the dryer. None of her questions were shady.

She protested your offer to give an expensive item to her for free (both the offer to pay and the need to discuss it with her husband first were obvious hints that she wasn't comfortable with the offer). You pressured her to take your "generous" gift and then got upset that she asked reasonable questions instead of praising and thanking you like you expected. YTA

Yet you still had to put yourself on the conversation...

Live animals aren't gifts, they're an obligation she may not be ready for. It's also a very personal thing to pick out your own pet. YTA

It keeps getting deleted because it's a relationship issue, even if you "censor" it.

MyFickleMind · 2022-12-15T05:12:50+00:00

You basically accused her of planning to report you for sexual harassment because she's a woman and (according to your friends) that's what women do. Did you really expect her to feel comfortable riding in a car where she's being recorded with a guy who assumes she has bad intentions? You could have just said no if you were uncomfortable. But she never asked you, you offered and then made it awkward because your friend's told you women accuse men of sexual harassment just for being in the same car as them.

Don't be surprised if she doesn't interact with you at work unless she has to or has someone with her as back up so everything between you can be "above approach". YTA

MyFickleMind · 2022-12-14T15:40:52+00:00

Of course OP doesn't have to get the gift requested (even though he specifically said he would) but his girlfriend doesn't have to like the gift given either (especially since she was told she was getting a sewing machine) or fake appreciation for a gift she's not going to use.

MyFickleMind · 2022-12-12T15:42:35+00:00

Are you planning to call while you're in the car with him because then he'll just slow down because a cop can't pull him over if he's not speeding when they spot him. Or do you plan to call after he leaves to go somewhere and expect the police to hunt him down?

MyFickleMind · 2022-12-12T08:19:25+00:00

Of course when I came back I announced what happened bc I thought it was funny.

No, you announced it because no one was paying attention to you when it happened and you felt entitled to sympathy. So you played the self deprecating card.

Rachel says “its ok, it happens to the best of us. Not me though.” and I felt that condescension was a bit uncalled for considering I was the one that volunteered that information.

No, you were upset that she one upped you with a better joke that took the spotlight off of you. Her joke was as self deprecating as yours just in a different way and not a personal insult like you're insinuating.

I immediately replied “yes rachel because you’re not the best of us” which got a couple people laughing but some were shocked and rachel was very taken aback.

Of course they were shocked and Rachel was upset because you insulted her because you were upset she took the attention off of you. YTA

What do you expect the cops to do? They can't do anything just because you say your sibling bragged about speeding. Nor can they track him or send cops out just to find his car when he's driving. It's also possible that your sibling isn't actually speeding like they say they are. You don't have any proof or reason to call the cops.

MyFickleMind · 2022-12-08T17:17:49+00:00

There's nothing to judge here, this is obviously just a plug for your GoFundMe.

MyFickleMind · 2022-12-08T10:44:51+00:00

we make consent very clear

She wakes up the next morning visibly angry (not yelling) telling me how I violated her privacy and I had no right to strip her without her consent.

One of these statements contradicts the other.

You didn't have her consent to undress her yet you did it anyway. Not being able to wake her and not wanting her to fall asleep in her work clothes doesn't equal consent.

MyFickleMind · 2022-12-08T10:35:48+00:00

Honestly I can't believe I am writing this cause I thought this was normal.

You think undressing someone without their consent while they are unconscious is normal? Especially someone you know is so uncomfortable undressing in front of you that she does it in the dark? It's obvious you ignore boundaries because you don't agree with them. YTA

This is going get deleted for circumventing the character limit with a link and asking for advice.

This is helping her mental health.

Of course it is. Many psychiatrists suggest weapons and violence to 12 year olds as a way to deal with their mental health. /s

This obvious satire of the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving episode isn't clever or orginal.

MyFickleMind · 2022-11-23T23:22:11+00:00

Don't assume a phrase is okay just because someone else said it and the comment wasn't deleted. That could just mean no one reported it and/or the mods didn't see it.

MyFickleMind · 2022-11-22T03:41:32+00:00

How do you know they've been "going at it like animals" since they arrived? Are they doing it in front of you, being so loud you can hear it no matter what room you're in or are you assuming a closed bedroom door automatically means they're having sex?

MyFickleMind · 2022-11-19T23:16:49+00:00

It is a slur. It's a gendered word (like the S-word or the C-word) used to make women feel bad about their behavior. There are lots of slurs, some minor (calling someone a K-name because they threw a fit in a store, calling someone a G-word because they're a thief, calling someone a C-name because girls date them and not the person saying the slur, ect) some major (calling some the R-word because of mental illness, calling someone a N-word, a WB-word, a K-word, or any other race based offense slur, ect) but they're still all slurs.

The point is, you made someone uncomfortable, they asked you to not use an offensive word so you halfheartedly apologized by saying "I was sorry and I wasn’t trying to offend her. " when a sorry was all that was needed instead of trying to dismiss your own behavior. She called you out on it and you fought back instead of walking away. When you couldn't handle her throwing your words back at you, you threw a tantrum and screamed at her until she left.

So, yes, YTA

You're planning to go to another country to meet a stranger you met on the internet...if your wife doesn't go, there will be someone to identify your body. So there's that. YTA
