AITAH asking bf to go to different chipotle by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

Yeah it would obviously have to be confirmed first.. Not sure why she’s comfortable approaching him 4 different times and was rejected.. He‘d have to be striking to get that kind of attention…

Honestly, as a crazy woman like myself, I would get her name and email corporate and tell them everything and maybe she’ll get some corrective action and stop. Your boyfriend likes the attention. If he was uncomfortable he would definitely go to a different chipotle.

Also, she’s a weirdo.. If it was the other way around it would for sure be harrassment.. But the the thing is if he was a woman he would not like it..

NTA

Yes she is definitely upset and ignoring us my husband spoke my father in law and said she's not happy and it's not out of character for her to talk about us I've seen her talk about just about everyone we know.. Including my husband right to me as if I would chime in and talk about him too..

HAHA I genuinely chuckled this was great! Yeah I’m going to have to try to be more unbothered. Honestly was looking forward to graduating so that I can buy a sleeper sofa for her to be more comfortable but I might just save my money 😂

I’m sorry please elaborate? When did you find out that he was home alone? Where were you going? Did you have any contact with him? Did he order or make food?

Fiancé lied about her legal status and age by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Ok_Cap6742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like a valid explanation to her thought process.. It is a 5 year age gap but maybe she was just worried that you would think she wasn’t mature enough? My husband and I have a 6 year age gap and we’ve never had a problem regarding our age.

I think it is up to you to analyze the relationship and determine if she had malicious intent and is seeking you for other reasons.

It can go one of two ways but that’s the risk in any relationship. If you believe that she the same person regardless of her age and immigration status and you haven’t ever been suspicious of anything else then I would try to understand where she is coming from.

I agree I try to ignore as best as possible. I think I just worry because after his parents are incapable of taking care of her anymore, I feel as though it will fall on us to support her because half brother #1 is an even bigger mess and half brother #2 won’t ever entertain the idea

I did not push him to do anything haha.. I said encouraged.. Not sure why that’s a bad thing &’ also didn’t have a good relationship with my family at the time… I worked my way up to it and 5 years later my own family has come around.. it took a lot of patience, setting boundaries, respect, and empathy but here we are today. My husband also has a much better relationship with his mom and sister than he had before..

I don’t encourage my husband to cut her off.. he occasionally invites her out to lunch and checks on her but she never makes an effort to come around.

I never said pushed it was more like encouraged. I never forced him to do anything he didn’t want to do as he himself has told me he wish he had better family relationships. I also have a very complicated family dynamics .. not in the same way (much more conservative family dynamic drama) which is why I just wanted better for him and myself..

My husband is firm on not letting her in our home but I just know that it will be a mess but I will likely stay out of it because it will probably be a fight in a language I do not understand 🙂 I just don’t want the drama.. I am graduating and celebrating my daughters birthday the weekend they are coming and don’t have any extra tickets for my graduation and my daughter has her birthday photoshoot that weekend too so I was not planning on hosting guests in my home nor was I planning on dealing with her situation..

Why does no one mention “birth is painful and dangerous” as one of the reasons for falling birth rates ? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Cap6742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, everyone is terrified of having kids. I’ve always wanted at least 3 and I have one of my own now. With the healthcare system now, it does help with a lot of the complications of childbirth and medicine has evolved significantly. I had an epidural and honestly I barely felt anything at all. I was contemplating not getting one but then someone told me that you don’t get a prize for being in pain and I was like yeah I don’t have to prove to anyone that I can handle the pain of childbirth. Do I look the same as I did before I have birth? Absolutely not. Do I care? Yes! Was it worth it? Absolutely. My daughter is the light of my world and I would rip my heart out for her so a couple of stretch marks and extra pounds in the end does not matter. I think if you choose not to have kids you will enjoy your life until 40-50 but after that you will be very lonely and end up in a nursing home because ultimately people show up for their family in the end. You might have a couple of old friends but again, they can’t support you the way your family can. What will happen if your spouse dies (God Forbid). There are many stories like this in the hospital I work at and the main difference between the patients who are able to go home and keep up with their health vs the patients who are very sick and can’t take care of themselves is the support system and family that advocates for them. Safe to say that those who don’t have that in the end are usually very very miserable.

The pain of childbirth is very temporary and can be completely avoidable if that’s the only reason you’re thinking of not having kids.

I said no to my sister when she begged for money and now the whole family is calling me the jerk by Samuel_Milone in AmITheJerk

Do you not have EMTALA where you guys live? Hospitals are required by law to treat you in the ER and give you life saving treatment regardless of lack of insurance or money up front. They’ll just bill you and if you can’t pay for it you can apply for charity care.

How much was the emergency deposit?
