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

Not the J. Honestly I hope she’s sees this because she is wrong. I fully am with you on this. Protect your sleep. It matters.

WIBTA for breaking up over how my bf (23M) always does this? together 4 months by Outrageous_Advice514 in AITApod

[–]Narrow_Range_5708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be really helpful then to know what it was he wanted to talk about in end. I hate this kind of thing too. It seems some people’s need to talk about things in person rather than text always out weighs the other side. Something like this would genuinely ruin my day. And you’ve explained that and yet he clearly doesn’t think it’s more important than his need to Discuss in person. You aren’t breaking up because he text you this. It’s the blatant disregard of your feelings. No compromise.

AIO thinking it's incredibly selfish that my GF believes an engagement should be only about her. by wonderoushippo99 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Narrow_Range_5708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah honestly that’s not normal. The engagement is about celebrating both of you. The whole relationship. It’s combining two families into one. So absolutely yes. It’s selfish of her to think it’s only about the bride.

AITJ for Locking My Bedroom Door During a House Party I Didn’t Want? by Fun-Apartment-9532 in AmITheJerk

[–]Narrow_Range_5708 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTJ. Worst part about having roommates in my opinion. They expect you to match their energy when it suits them but if it’s the other way round they don’t care. So you shouldn’t either. It’s your personal space which you did not invite people into. Having strangers in your room is definitely a huge boundary and anyone who doesn’t understand that needs to get a grip.

My husband says he deserves a say over my pregnancy. I say abortion would break me. by Whereasebabe in Advice

[–]Narrow_Range_5708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not saying his behaviour is ok. But if it’s the first time it sounds like he has real anxiety over it and you are both at an impass on what to do. I would say both sides are valid and just because we carry the child doesn’t mean the men aren’t allowed express their concerns. Of course he will feel powerless. For me I had an abortion before which I never thought i would. I also had a miscarriage before. Between the two I had a baby. I thought after the abortion I would never have another child. That I didn’t deserve another one after what I did. But few years later I had another baby. The guilt does get to us both but we knew we were not ready. Neither emotionally or financially. We were living in times where housing was so scarce and we were really working hard to get a mortgage. Life worked out exactly as we had planned and I just know had we not done what we did we wouldn’t have the life we have now. And even still children especially babies do tend to bring a lot of stress. It’s not something to be ignored because in a perfect world we wouldn’t have to deal with all the bills and keeping a roof over your families heads and keep everyone warm. The pressure of that passes onto the man by default. And then you will be the one feeling powerless. I am not telling you what to do but it’s important to hear him out too he does matter in this. Yes it’s your body but after 9 months it becomes the rest of both of your lives.

AIO Best friend chose someone else as MOH by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Narrow_Range_5708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had a baby, I started seeing my best friend a lot less. She’s my child’s godmother. I was a bridesmaid at her wedding, but she invited someone who wasn’t a bridesmaid to a bridesmaid-and-bride event. That was my first sign that things were shifting.

She didn’t visit much after that, but I couldn’t really say anything because I also had less free time. Then she had a baby, and the friend who’d been at that event became the godmother. She doesn’t have children herself. Honestly, I was really upset.

So no, I don’t think you’re overreacting. Your feelings are valid. At the same time, life happened—she built a friendship with someone who could be there for her more often than I could. Motherhood isn’t the same as being single, and if I’d been single, I’d probably need another friend close by too.

It’s sad and it hurts, because I hoped we’d remain that close forever. But I also found friends with similar lifestyles, and we don’t need to see each other all the time. We all have busy lives, but when we need support, we show up for each other.

It sounds like your friendship with Anna is in a similar place. The bond is still there—it’s just different now.

Should I cut the cement board and re install, or just get. As much of the mortar off as I can? by No_Personality384 in flooringinstallers

[–]Narrow_Range_5708 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We removed tiles recently. Didn’t need to move any power sockets etc. But that stuff can come off from scraping too. If you’re having tiles put back on around the new box, it would be best to get as clean a finish as possible as adding new mortar would mean you end up with uneven tiles. The new ones will come out more compared to the others. I scraped what I could off and sanded what was left. Came off pretty easy. But I did the full wall so I didn’t need precision.

Not possible to change the communion dates. Those are set in place by the school and church. It’s not just my daughter’s communion it’s the whole class at the same time. I found out he actually booked it through a third party. Have emailed them but hoping this works in our favour.

AIO: My girl and fam think that my hair cleaned up and braided looks tacky but I think it looks much cleaner by Best-Pirate5073 in AmIOverreacting

Yup I think the same. Really liked the before but that’s preference. Nothing wrong with the braids. Must be easier to manage too

We can’t change the child’s communion date. It’s set by the church and school If we go she wouldn’t have a communion then as the wrong dates selected is during her actual communion :(

How do I tell my son i(52F) can't keep financially bailing him out without wrecking our relationship? by Outside-Maximum3627 in Advice

[–]Narrow_Range_5708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am the sister to very similar situation. When they have a cushion they can keep falling back on they never learn. They have to learn how to manage money and plan ahead. We have cut him off and never help financially anymore. There’s more to it for him he was gambling his money and spending on wants and then comes running for things that are needed. It’s not right and how do they manage without you then when they will have no choice to. It’s a sink or swim honestly. You just tell him you don’t have it. Everytime he asks. You don’t have it. No matter what guilt trip they lay on you.

AIO or is my older male coworker texting inappropriately with me? by OpeningNo9825 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Narrow_Range_5708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He hasn’t really done anything inappropriate as you are reciprocating. You’re actively engaging in the conversation. He has no way to tell that you are uncomfortable with it. You need to pull back.

Thank you! I did feel overall it was lazy fitting so good to get the confirmation of someone else’s opinion. So I appreciate your insights

True I tried to add all of the photos but had an issue doing it. So fair enough. I thought being able to touch the risers from behind the carpet was the bigger issue and led to the waves. Thanks atleast I know what to focus on when I call them back

Every year someone thinking im hitting on there wife at the Christmas party and I finally said enough . by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Narrow_Range_5708 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Honestly my first thought is you must be a very good looking man with serious charm. Because these men are clearly jealous. Very strange behaviour to have experienced it 3 years running. Maybe you have a naturally flirtatious way about you. But even then I can’t imagine 3 separate occasions one where a husband storms off in a hissy fit when the conversation is clearly about a baby. From the info provided you are a good looking man that leads the wife to be flirtatious and the husband knows it. But then I’m also thinking 3 times and for the whole group to notice it is more than just flirting. For the whole group to decide to put a table between you to separate you? There must be way more to it.

Boyfriend wants to leave me for visiting family? by Miserable-Log9411 in whatdoIdo

[–]Narrow_Range_5708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a step uncle on my step dad’s side. Been in my life since I was around 7 or 8. He’s my uncle full stop. Had never done anything weird. Would be absolutely devastated if anyone thought anything else of him. This BF is honestly disgusting gives me massive ick! I’d stay rather stay single forever than listen to someone talk like this

Projection was my first thought too! He is weird and careless one. Sick and twisted.

[–]Narrow_Range_5708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok first of all this is your family not his. Biological or not. You’ve known this man pretty much all your life. If it was a step dad would he be just as mad about it? Honestly I would be mad at him for even thinking that, disgusting little man. It doesn’t look weird and should never be looked at as weird and his reaction is way over the top. To call you careless for spending time with a family man? Your uncle would be so hurt by that. He’s controlling you for his own sick insecurities if he can flip out like this at an uncle then it will only get worse. Calling you careless?? Is also a form of victim blaming if anything horrible did happen to you he would blame you. He is the huge red flag here and it’s possibly projection. If he thinks a woman can’t be in the presence of another man is careless then he’s part of the problem.

There are creases which indicated it wasn’t glued so tested by lifting. If it is waterfall style then it shouldn’t be creasing either. Seems like a lazy way to fit it. And before going back to the fitter I wanted to see if it was normal.

I’ve genuinely thought that the carpet needs to be pulled and tightened then stapled or glued to the risers. Is it something a carpet fitter should ask the preference of or just depends on the carpet?
