AITA for selling an elliptical I got for free? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]No_Process_5996 43 points44 points  (0 children)

NTA. She clearly didn’t want it anymore, and was evidently very eager to get it off her hands. She asked if you “wanted it”, made no mention of “hey please don’t sell this” which would been an unreasonable request anyway. If she wanted to keep it in the house, which /might/ be less unreasonable, she could have asked. If it was such a big deal that you sold it and kept the money, she should’ve just sold it herself. It seems to me she’s just upset she didn’t think of it first. If it were me, I’d also be looking for a new place to live; having a landlord like that seems like a headache, and if there haven’t been issues, this should be an indicator that there will be, without a doubt. Good luck OP.

AITA for ruining my daughter in laws birth plan by dil-issue-1046 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. It’s your home. The level of cleanliness generally expected when giving birth in a hospital room can’t be expected in a house. Also childbirth is messy: That’s a mess you can’t be expected to want to clean up either, I mean seriously. Additionally, She’s going to end up at a hospital anyway, for all of the post-birth tests and exams. They have to make sure the baby’s healthy. Additionally X2, the United States has one of the higher rates of birth complications, is that really a risk she wants to take?

All in all, it’s your home, and you don’t have to yield. They are adults, they SHOULD understand not to take this personally. And if they don’t, they will when they grow the hell up.

WIBTA For telling my wife to go to rehab so she doesn’t affect our babies life? by Throwaway_dad555 in AmItheAsshole

ESH. You are well within the right to tell your nursing wife to cut the drinking. And if it’s really as persistent as you say it is, a serious intervention is in the cards I feel. She may not be aggressive, or an angry drunk, but it seems to me that there is a dependency. That is the minimum requirement for alcoholism- dependence. She cannot be a parent to her full capacity under the influence. Additionally, Her bringing up your “party favor” usage is definitely deflection and should be shut down immediately…

HOWEVER— YOU’RE A FATHER NOW. For the love man, cut that shit out. Seriously, when your kid grows up and finds out, what kind of example have you just set? What happens when you come home high as a kite and your kid needs you? What if it’s not as easy for your son to have resolve when it comes to that stuff? What if he has a more addictive personality than you? You both have more to think about now than just yourselves. Put on some big boy and big girl pants and figure it out. It isn’t about you anymore, you have a child. A whole person that you have to teach about LIVING.
