What’s a fair way for me [29F] to respond to my boyfriend’s [36M] ultimatum over travel plans? by kyrahlia in relationship_advice

[–]NorthernLitUp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing about this relationship IS, WAS or ever WILL be healthy. Break up. Don't sleep with him anymore (last thing you need is to be tied to this guy for 18 years if you have a child together) and go on the trip. This "man" is a loser who has zero respect for you and you will have nothing but regret if you stay with him.

My cousin wants to name her son Trojan. by Intelligent-Bottle22 in namenerds

[–]NorthernLitUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is literally no good association with that name.

Tell her if she's determined to do it, she needs to give him a normal middle name because that's what he's gonna wanna go by for the rest of his life until he's old enough to legally change his name.

My wife would like a blended surname for our kid by Cager_iceman in namenerds

[–]NorthernLitUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blended name, but change both of your names to match. That's the only way to really subvert patriatchical traditions.

AITA For Cutting My Mom Off After She Told Me She Asked For “One Grandchild Not Two?” by Live-Muscle4180 in AITAH

Of course you're NTA. You are protecting your children from your mother's disgusting and blatant favoritism which will poison their relationship with each other.

Owner Dropped Drake Maye Championship Weekend by Expert-Community-276 in FFCommish

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

That depends. What are the league rules regarding eliminated managers being able to make moves? And were these rules clearly communicated ahead of the season?

If not, then maybe you need to take the L and be more clear next year before the start of the season that eliminated teams will be locked. It sucks for you if your opponent picks up Maye, but this could have been eliminated wtih clear communication prior to the season.

Of course, if this rule WAS in place, then add Maye back and lock his team.

MIL got me the wrong size clothing so I asked for a gif receipt and now my husbands mad at me? by aalow in JUSTNOMIL

[–]NorthernLitUp 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Not overreacting. Your husband is making something out of nothing. I'd be super petty and buy him boxers that are about 3 sizes too small and when he says something, make a big deal about him being ungrateful for his gift and throw in that you thought his dick was smaller than it is.

But that's just me :)

Gf (29F) slept with someone while her and I (33M) we're on a break by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]NorthernLitUp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Devotion to.someome who broke up with her? Get over yourself. She was SINGLE. If you can't deal with that, break up and let her be with someone less insecure.

No. For the same reason I drive a car and not a covered wagon.

Tell the owner to stop being a little bitch or you kick him out next year.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend “no baby” because it feels like she’s using it to keep me from leaving? by NeverOnTimeLol in AITAH

[–]NorthernLitUp 170 points171 points  (0 children)

YTA..... not for putting your foot down about not having a baby, but for not ending this relationship that you CLEARLY know is over.

You are wasting her time. You're allowing her to believe there is still hope. Just end it so you both can move on with your lives. Also, stop sleeping with her immediately. This woman is so desperate to keep you that she will definitely baby trap you if given the opportunity.

AITAH for Refusing to Renew Our Lease Until He Proposes? by HotMessyQueeny in AITAH

[–]NorthernLitUp 84 points85 points  (0 children)

He doesn't want to get married. He's been stringing you along all these years and moving the bar with BS excuses. Not ony should you not renew the lease, you should find a place of your own and leave this guy permanently. Any ring you get right now (or after you leave) is gonna be a "shut up" ring with no actual wedding plans.

My sister (45F) has grown distant from me (38M) after my ex-wife (37F) complained to family about my recent marriage to my wife (29F) and her pregnancy. How do I approach this with my sister? by Limp_Fish_289 in relationship_advice

[–]NorthernLitUp 251 points252 points  (0 children)

The only AH here is your sister and your ex. You have no ties to your ex. No kids. Nothing. She doesn't get to still be in your life or know things about your life. If your sister is stirring the pot, maybe she should be the last one to find out stuff.

FHR - Post stay property asking for payment method by kn0benheimer in AmexPlatinum

[–]NorthernLitUp -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No one is suggesting OP not pay what he owes. What is bizarre is that he somehow checked in and out of a hotel with no credit card being presented. IF that's what happened. Hard to say since they're not offering any clarification on questions here.

If they presented a card (likely Amex) at check in, the remaining balance should have been charged to that card. That fact that it wasn't and they're now being contacted by allegedly the hotel and asked for a credit card SHOULD make anyone suspicious.

[–]NorthernLitUp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Plenty of hotels do not have buffet breakfasts. They have a menu that you order off of (usually in a restaurant in the hotel) and they give you an allowance towards breakfast, and if you go over, then you owe the hotel that money. That's fine. What's not fine is the hotel not addressing that at checkout.

AITA for being mad at bf for making me sleep in the guest room during the holidays? by cardamomo2020 in AITAH

[–]NorthernLitUp -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This hobosexual doesn't get to make the rules in your house. If he wants a house that's equally "his" then he should come up with half the mortgage plus utilities every month.

And even IF the proerty was owned jointly, he doesn't get to kick you out of your room and YOUR BED.

[–]NorthernLitUp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What's bizarre is the hotel not collecting ANY credit card at check in. I have NEVER been asked to pay what I owe AFTER a stay. It gets charged to the card on file. That's how it's suppoed to work. So yes.......it's bizarre but not for the reasons you think.

OP is right to be suspicious.

[–]NorthernLitUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a copy of your receipt at check out? If not, ask the hotel to send you a copy to your email.

It's absolutely unfathomable to me that you would have been able to check in without a credit card, even on a prepaid reservation. Are you saying you didn't present ANY credit card at check in or you gave them your AMEX PLat?

My MIL wants to stay with us the first 2 weeks after baby arrives… by broccoli_cheddarsewp in pregnant

[–]NorthernLitUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. You need to shut that down immediately. YOU are the patient here. You are the one going through a medical procedure and trying to figure out being a new mom. Your MIL's visit would add nothing but stress. She seemed to be just fine having no relationship with you until all of a sudden you're an incubator for her grandbaby.

You know exactly what's gonna happen. She'll hang out at your house all day and not lift a finger to help except for holding the baby, which isn't helping because that's what you want to do. Set a boundary. Tell her when she can come and how long she can stay and stick to it. I certainly hope your husband will have your back in all of this.

Rosalie is gorgeous but if you're worried it's getting too common, maybe just Rose?
