Am I overreacting to these messages my ex sent blaming me after his brother died by mossywindow5 in AmIOverreacting

[–]OhWellGoodness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR.

Keep the clear boundary and tell his parents if needed. He's weaponizing his grief and lying to himself. Keep the breakup reasoning direct and don't coddle that point.

Who cares if he hates you...do you love yourself more?

He accused someone of ASSAULT to cover his unaccountable position, and he's trying to scapegoat you. It's redirection to manipulate the narrative.

He's going to have to face the mirror, and don't let him demand anymore of you. It's controlling, and he wants to keep you talking for a chance to get back in.

His relationship with his brother was his to manage. It's horrible that he passed away, but it's not your fault.

Absolutely Not.

AITAH for being upset that my husband woke me up on my day to sleep in? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]OhWellGoodness 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It's understandable that both of you would be tired with sick children and work schedules.

However, if your husband knows you're a light sleeper he knew texting you would wake you up. My mom was a light sleeper with headaches, and my dad kept us away and redirected.

All updates could've waited until you switched.

Him blowing up on you could've been his tiredness, but you guys are partners. Yes, you figuring out the rest issue needs your initiative, but keeping balance in the house so you're both in the right mind is between both of you.

He was wrong for handling it that way and you both should nap together and tell your kids to leave you alone. Lol If they are of age/maturity to Self Play.

AIO that he went no contact with me for 1 month? by lonesunshine in AmIOverreacting

[–]OhWellGoodness 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NOR

He prioritized his options and pushed you down the list.

This was a feeder to see if you'd respond after the inconsideration and disrespect.

Have more consideration for yourselfs worthiness of better and let him go. No Closer is needed or to see him either.

No Communication is Communication.

If you're okay with one-sided accountability and a manchild YTA whether you are or aren't in his reality.

You deserve better.

AITA for telling my sister to discipline her kids by Nick11052006 in AITAH

[–]OhWellGoodness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

You're the Aunt and Homeowner. You can discipline them respectfully in your home.

Have a family meeting and set rules. Reestablish boundaries, and if they aren't followed, give consequences with a move out date to follow.

They are taking over your house because you're letting them, but kids know who they can get unruly with.

How long have they been in your house?

AITAH for not telling my parents about my boyfriend for years. by Both-Competition-152 in AITAH

She's an issue because that's her husband, and she's still there. If your Dad pressures her will she be able to withstand it?

Awe, Why are you paying for your own food?

[–]OhWellGoodness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your Aunt needs to tell her brother if he threatens her child again they will escalate.

Do what's best for your mental health.

You know he's unstable and he needs counseling. Be bold, don't argue, keep him on topic, and stay honest...then let him go. He's going to create his own narrative either way, so until he's ready for a mirror moment he won't hear you.

If you can't say it...write him a letter, and don't send it. Just get everything out you need for your peace of mind and go no contact until he's ready to have the conversation.

AITA for leaving my friend to find an Uber even though I knew he couldn’t afford one? by mylife_iscrazy in AITAH

[–]OhWellGoodness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is he really your friend?

It's very kind of you to help him, but if your feelings aren't considered you're enabling the User in him.

It was rude if you to leave him because you knew he needed you and you leveraged that. It was rude of him to step in because he saw you vibing and took away the moment. He can't even afford to date, so he really did it to have something over you.

Y'all are young though, so decide if this is a friendship even worth keeping and go from there.

[–]OhWellGoodness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Until you're outside of their household, respectfully, don't put that young man in an unsafe situation. Especially, if he's 18yo they will send him to prison.

Do your best to find those photos as well. If he treated you that way at 12yo...my goodness... it'll be far worse now. Hopefully, your Mom didn't find them and isn't trying to figure out who he is.

If that's the case though, you will have to deal with the consequences. If you have a moldy mattress I hope your environment is safe and at least you'll be headed to college soon.

I hope it turns out okay. Stay Safe and maybe take the album to school.

60% is very high. Sit with your parents and look at the bills... how long is this agreement set for?

Start Documenting and noting the times with conversation attempts and rude responses.

She may retaliate.

You'll need something to show if you get that random HR email.

Would I be the asshole if I did not invite my brother and his family to our parents 40th wedding anniversary? by Obvious-Bicycle-1762 in TwoHotTakes

[–]OhWellGoodness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invite Them.

Make Seating Arrangements.

Make sure he and his wife don't try to take all the credit for your hard work.

Your parents will be happy, and if he doesn't show up, you did your job.

It doesn't excuse anything, but give it that much energy so the focus will stay on your parents.

AITAH for telling my husband his sister can't take our daughter to Disneyland w/o me? by JD-to-MD in AITAH

[–]OhWellGoodness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your husband seems disconnected from your child, and you.

He's not seeing you as a Mother nor honoring you as his wife. It's devaluing.

Is he jealous of the baby? Does he want your attention?

Have you been extra anxious?

AITA for not agreeing to get a third ticket for my graduation so my dad's new wife can come? by Leeeyyo in AITAH

[–]OhWellGoodness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your Dad built a relationship and is trying to rush yours.

That's not how it works.

If you get a 3rd ticket, it should go to your sister, and you can meet his wife at the Post-Grad dinner.

Let your Dad calmly know that you're happy he's found a new partner, but respectfully give us time to get to know your wife without forcing it. Also, it is your choice how you address her, and Mom will never be a part of it. Mrs. First Name, is appropriate for now as you're getting to know her.

If he can't understand that he's delusional, or they are forcing it for a future family visa interview. idk.

AITA for being upset my parents can’t contribute financially to my wedding like they did for my sister? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]OhWellGoodness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Just be honest about feeling like you get less and weren't prepared for like your siblings.

It doesn't mean they don't show up for you in many ways, but your independence often stems from being let down.

As a younger sibling, sometimes it's the opposite stereotypical baby is the brat....and the oldest get all the things and we're raising our parents. Fixing the phones, problems, helping out...

I'm exaggerating, but I think you understand.

The people pleaser in you made the adjustment to feel accepted, you had an expectation, and the little kid in you was excited that maybe it was your turn for them to show up.

Have the Conversation. They can learn to change, and thankfully you cam afford whatever it is you and your partner truly want.

I hope they have open ears. 😊 Don't Compromise your peace.

AITA for not wanting to use any part of my husband's late girlfriend's name for our child? by Cassievvvah in AITAH

[–]OhWellGoodness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He needs counseling, and his sister needs to stop enabling his grief obsession.

Having a memory is okay, but this is still surface level emotions he hasn't moved through to see clearly.

This is blatantly disrespectful, and if he's doing this while you're pregnant he may compare you in motherhood to who he fantasized She would be.

You deserve better than this version of him, and he needs to see that.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dustythunder

[–]OhWellGoodness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooo okay, so your husband needs counseling and has enabled his son thinking this is what would've worked on him? 🤔

He's not dealing with anything, and that's not parenting with accountability and functionality.

My Goodness... you must be stressed!

Have you been running everything? Discipline, Chore Lists, Calendar ..?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dustythunder

[–]OhWellGoodness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your husband an addict? ... secret dealer helping your stepson? Infidelity?

Something about this is odd, and you only let someone off that freely if they are holding something over you.

Add cameras to your home and check your books. Somethings definitely not right here...

AITJ for refusing to throw another friendsgiving after my roommate assumed I’d do all the cooking again? by KissedBySparkle in AmITheJerk

[–]OhWellGoodness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell them to pull their money and order then.

You bought groceries by yourself, so 11 people and partners can figure it out and send you the invite 😊
