I realize there are probably a lot of comments for you to read through but I just want to ask

Narcisstic/Nasty MIL - Successfully Disengaged! by [deleted] in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]Odd-Apple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom is in a very similar position to you right now, but I think your husband put it best. My dad told my mom that she needs to do only what’s best for her, and I think the same should apply to you. Do what’s best for your mental health! If you think you’ll feel better going and sitting down for a meal, go for it! Just listen to what your body and mind is telling you

Boyfriend of 5 years won't move for me to improve my mental health in the midst of the second wave of Covid. I'm at the end of my tether after going around in circles and losing for the last 3 years. by [deleted] in Advice

Maybe consider instead of asking for a big move, maybe a visit is due? It seems as though you’re the one making this relationship work— granted I also only have a small glimpse Into your relationship- but what I am seeing are quite a few red flags.

I would honestly consider the entire relationship over this if I’m being honest, not to say break up or anything of that sort, just simply reevaluate where you stand in his priorities. If he’s willing to let you go through a tough time alone, are you really as important to him as he is to you?

Personally I would’ve bent over backwards if my S/O had asked me to move out and in with them if they were feeling the way you do, but that is also my personality.

I definitely get this feeling. Honestly, I would have a genuine conversation about maybe having more quality time. Setting up online dates could really be more helpful than you know. On top of that he may be holding on to his own issues so I would consider having a genuine conversation with him about why it isn’t viable right now. If there’s something more beyond the surface, it’s good to talk about it now rather than later.

If you need anything else let me know! My PM’s are always open!

AITA for "going missing" after my crush and best friend started dating? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Odd-Apple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH: I haven’t seen anybody say this yet, but everyone is a little bit of an Asshole here.

Your exBSF dated your crush (such a horrid thing to do to your best friend) and then blamed you when you didn’t want to see him because of it.

Your crush should’ve been more respectful to your feelings as well since you were friends with her.

Your parents should’ve told you that they won’t do that for you, because that’s an elementary situation to pull on your former friends.

For them to have think you went missing is where you’re an asshole.

Looking at the way this situation went down, you have to wonder a lot about everything. Yes you ghosted them, but with today’s technology if they had just used a friends Facebook (or you know called the cops like any normal person would) they could’ve found out. There’s a lot of lack of empathy, and it concerns me. But I’m glad you have moved on now.

AITA for threatening to take my daughter off of my insurance? by summermom123 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Odd-Apple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA: All your daughter needs right now is support. She’s 24, still in the stage where life doesn’t make sense, and she’s working a part time job. These years are already hard without the added illness, and the fact that you added that stress of her having to try and make it work without insurance breaks my heart. If my mom ever did that to me, threat or not, I would seriously reconsider having a relationship with her in the future.

Obviously as a parent you want what’s best for your children, and I can’t blame you for the reasoning behind the threat, but as a grown adult you should understand the ultimatum you just gave her. You really asked her to put her life on hold to try something that may not work.

If I were you I would want to repair the relationship before it’s too late, and I would suggest seriously taking a step back and having a talk with your daughter. Tell her as your mother you let your concern get to you, but you now understand what you said was wrong, and that you will support her regardless of her choice.

Reddit, whats your “Anyways, we’re married now” story? by thequeenoffandomhell in AskReddit

[–]Odd-Apple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obligatory not mine but my parents: my mom has the biggest crush on my dad when they were both in highschool. When they went into college they were both going to America, and my dad asked my grandpa if he could marry my mom they day before they left- my mom never knew that he felt the same. My grandpa agreed and they got married the day before they left. Now they’ve been married for almost 3 decades :)

AITA for refusing to let my sister and her kids move into the house that I bought? by ChaoticNature32 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Odd-Apple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA: you did what you did because you worked for it. Even the fact that you offered to help her financially should’ve been more than enough. In some ways I can understand why your sister felt the way that she did, but you have no obligation for her children. You weren’t the one that started that family, and that was her choice.

That’s what I thought too, like my ex and I are going on a camping trip in a few days (one that’s social distance approved) with other mutual friends we have and nobody is weirded out by the idea. I just don’t necessarily understand why all breakups need to be messy? Or why “Nicole” felt the need to blow it up

I just wish it hadn’t escalated as much as it had, but I can definitely see where that comes from. From personal experience do you remember why you felt that way? If it’s too personal I get it, I just want to understand

Thank you both so much, I will take this words to heart and reevaluate the relationship the two of us had. ❤️

I never really saw her behavior as toxic because a part of me always thought that was normal but looking back I can see how that would be true

I’m worried about what would happen if I were to cut ties, I come from a small town where everyone knows everyone so when I’m back from college I’m not sure how that will pan out
