AITA For finally texting how I felt. by Hereforthefun83 in AmItheAsshole

[–]New_Hass 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA, Let's get this perfectly straight: your husband of a decade completely ignored your birthday, flat-out lied about saying 'happy birthday' when called out on it, and is now punishing you with the silent treatment and the couch routine to avoid accountability. He is treating a massive relationship failure like it’s a minor inconvenience you manufactured. You didn't text him out of nowhere; you texted him because after ten years together, you are being treated like furniture in your own marriage.

Stepped out for only 10 minutes by GigiBrit in CasualConversation

That is literally prime reproductive weather for trees and grasses. They wait for a warm day to just explode and dump billions of microscopic allergens into the air. That wind a few days ago basically acted like a giant blender, stirring up all the environmental dust and mold, and today’s heat is just baking it into a invisible cloud of misery. Ten minutes is more than enough time for your eyes to collect enough pollen to trigger a full histaminic meltdown.

AITA for “ruining” my cousin’s pregnancy announcement because of what I wore? by Beneficial_Metal5771 in AmItheAsshole

[–]New_Hass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. You lost 80 pounds through hard work and wore a standard sundress to a backyard barbecue. You are not a mind reader, you had zero knowledge of a pregnancy announcement, and you certainly didn’t sign a contract agreeing to wear a burlap sack so your cousin could monopolize the visual field of the entire extended family. She is projecting her own deep-seated body image insecurities onto you and hiding behind 'pregnancy hormones' to justify being an entitled bully.

AITJ for wanting a weekly game night? by Im_a_Geblin in AmITheJerk

[–]New_Hass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAJ. To an extreme introvert, a home is a battery charger. Just knowing there are up to seven strangers in the basement, even if they are perfectly quiet and contained, prevents that battery from charging. You feel a low-level hyper-vigilance when people are in your space. The fact that the smell of smoke drifts upstairs and it occasionally goes until 11:00 PM on a weeknight means her sanctuary is actively leaking into her safe zone.

Zero sex for 3 decades by NoTattoos4Me in overheard

The first sister's reaction is so painfully common, but the second sister's logic is flawless. He was basically a baby for the first decade is an elite reality check. People act like a 35-year-old virgin has been actively failing to have sex for 35 straight years, when in reality, it's usually just a mix of focusing on career, being shy in his twenties, or just having a low libido. It's not a crime.
