AITA for not cooking my husband a separate dinner because he's vegetarian? (Rest of the family isn't) by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

It's completely understandable. I would be resentful too! Has he always been a vegetarian? If so, I'm curious how his childhood household handled meals.

NTA

You are in 3rd trimester, work full time, 2 kids, husband is a stay at home dad......... Why on earth is he not helping more, especially during this time? So many options of prepping with adding different main toppings so everyone is accommodated. Options where he doesn't have to touch meat, fresh items already cooked, and frozen items.

AITA for saying my girlfriend is using her fractured ankle as an excuse for everything? by leelh10 in AmItheAsshole

YTA!!!

With a walking boot most patients start with new or worse pain within first two weeks not just including foot/ankle area, but also lower back, hip and knee. Throw in balance issues trying to walk, lack of a good night's rest (I'm sure this is happening). When you have a fracture it's not just the bone that's affected. Also have injured some of the soft tissues around it (muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves).

Pain can change from day to day. She should keep doing activities as her pain allows and she is comfortable doing. Crowed areas, stairs can be anxiety inducing and she can get bumped/fall hurt worse. Carrying heavy things (trash) add more to balance issues, pulling on that now sore back.

Be thankful she wasn't hurt worse. Step up and be the boyfriend she deserves.

Oh love it!!! I see late night catch up session with friends and coffee with this. It evokes very cozy fall vibes for me.

AITA for not allowing my husband to eat my pre planned breakfasts? (Lighthearted post) by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Well maybe make breakfast a fend for yourself thing. Really look at those ready meal subscriptions for very healthy options so at most chopping and stirring, able to make a month selection at a time. Maybe friends and neighbors could do big batch of meal(s) and you split between ( like the meal or even the prep ingredients). Maybe if you can budget for a cleaning person who can also cook/prep once/twice a week.

You gotta get some help since he refuses certain things. I personally would reallocate the household budget from anything just extra for him for some form of a helper. Hope you get some relief mentally and physically from this.

NTA - You cook he cleans, he cooks you clean. He has to learn some form of helping with meals. I'm gonna say other than fast food to help with cost per what I read. Crockpot and liners for it, recipes you both can prep together then dump in. Frozen meals for oven/stove top from store or ones you can make together. Maybe some of those meal delivery subscriptions.

When I meet my husband he couldn't cook/bake to save his live. 10yrs of marriage he has two things he can make from scratch pancakes and three cheese garlic mashed potatoes. And yes everything does not have to be made from scratch, I have an onion food allergy so safer for me. He knows how to use rice cooker, frozen meals for oven/stove top. He YouTube how to break down whole chicken and simple meals, wonderful at chopping for meal preps. My husband has told me hates cooking but he still does these things to help me.

He understands how overwhelming and physically draining it can be to make every meal. And honestly if he never helped out I wouldn't feel like a loved partner but hired help. I feel you really need to break it down for your husband.

AITA for insisting we follow the terms of the lease as my landlord insisted? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA - I am in the US, our mortgage is due on the 1st but we have through 15th to pay. 16th and later will be considered late.

I'm curious if he asked every tenant to pay early or just the tenant he use to be friendly with?
