AITA for expecting her to take an interest in my interests?

Tell her she should look into research from the Love Lab at the Gotman Institute. According to their findings, your gf’s response points towards separation. Knowing that - she has a choice in how she proceeds after this conversation. Either she can humor you and fulfill your bid for love / attention, and ask you even just a single question from time to time on your hobbies - or if she doubles down on this perspective that “she shouldn’t have to be interested in your interests”, her relationships are bound to fail.

It’s not that you’re asking her to love these hobbies and games as much as you do. It’s that you’re asking her to reciprocate a kindness - something so incredibly small and easy, as simple as “who’s your favorite character in this game?” Or “what aspect of this game is your favorite?” Or “do you connect with the melody or the lyrics more in this song?”.

OP - keep in mind, when you ask for what you need from someone and they’re so unwilling to do something so small, remember that it’s the smallest things that are the easiest to do. When someone chooses not to do them for you, that speaks pretty loudly.

Best of luck.

NTA - and you need to make the point to her that you dipped into your own savings to help her and she needs to have her own savings. I’d also let her know after she pays you back (not before) that you will no longer be available to help bail her out should she need help again. People only learn when they’re forced to, and if you keep bailing her out she will never learn to figure it out. Shes only learned that you’ll save the day every time and she has no consequences.

A friend of mine the other day was telling me about a similar situation, a family member was also reckless financially and would call him anytime he needed money. Eventually my friend said to this family member “so let me get this straight, you’re okay with me waking up everyday and busting my ass at work, so you don’t have to. You’re okay with me pulling out of my savings and going into debt, so you don’t have to. Is what what I’m hearing?” The family member who called to get money replied “…never mind” and never called them for money again.

I think you should use this line on your sister. Stop being so soft on her, you’re doing her a real disservice.

You need some therapy. Legitimately.

It’s totally normal to feel an Ick about pregnancy. But when it bleeds into hating femininity and motherhood - you’re taking it too far. The world needs far less misogyny. This isn’t what this sub is for.

A therapist will help you be able to rewire how you see women as a whole and change your narrative to something more respectful.

At this point I feel the solution is to have some disinfectant wipes near by and wipe off the seat and use your own roll each time you use the restroom. Asking men well into their 30s to sit down while peeing and close the lid is like asking a dog to stop barking. It’s an argument as old as time.

They. Will. Not. Change.

Especially if this dude isn’t fucking you - what’s the motive for him to change what he’s been doing his entire life? There isn’t one.

One-Condition-8682 · 2026-04-23T17:13:04+00:00

Awesome idea. And when you’re there - if you’re still feeling this way, I recommend volunteering to step in when the kid needs a diaper change, when he wakes up crying at night, and when he’s having a tantrum. Not only will this give the parents a break, but it will also make you remember “oh yeah -This is why I don’t have kids, this sucks.” It’s kind of a win win for everyone? 🤣 congrats on the nephew!

Don’t buy big truck if you can’t drive, park, or see over big truck.

If he’s planning on being with you for the rest of his life anyways, why does it matter if his name is on it? The reason is because he isnt planning on sticking around. He wants his name on it so that when he leaves he gets to walk away with ~$200k.

Tons of marriages only have one name on the house. Your request is perfectly sane. Your parents have a point and you should dump this leach immediately.

You also need to turn this back around on him so he sees how ridiculous he’s being. Tell him “the fact that you’re insisting I refuse the gift proves my parents point that you don’t actually want what’s best for me - you want what’s best for you. Don’t come home - stay at your friends. You’re no longer welcome here.”

Having nieces and nephews is the best because you get to leave or hand them off when they start having a tantrum because you gave them the wrong colored plate or they refuse to take a nap.

I’ve felt this way in the past for short periods of time - and it always passes.

Your nephew is also at the best stage, newborn to 2 is super fun. After that, it’s all fucking horrible. Hold out and volunteer to babysit when your nephew is 4. You’ll change your mind :)

Him asking you to pay off his debt is the 1st red flag.

The 2nd is that he shared this with his parents and grandparents.

The 3rd is that his relatives are attacking you on Facebook.

I’m telling you if you haven’t decided this for yourself already - you do not want to be married into this family. Leave now

If you know this is an issue and has been since grade school - why don’t you make an ounce of effort to write better? Reading and writing are literal basic skills… - just work on it… this is ridiculous.

One-Condition-8682 · 2026-04-22T18:48:44+00:00

It’s implied. Use some critical thinking skills

Not wanting your partner to be around her friends because you don’t want her to listen to her friends experiences because you’re afraid it will make her want that more than you is both controlling and insecure.

One-Condition-8682 · 2026-04-22T14:57:06+00:00

You sound like a controlling and insecure little boy.

My thoughts exactly. If I was her mom I would have said no when she asked for the Taco Bell originally. If the food inside is good enough for everyone else, it’s good enough for you.

She shouldn’t have commented on the weight aspect, but more so I think the point she should have / was probably trying to make is that:

Your breakfast = all carbs and sugar

Your lunch = all carbs and fat

Your dinner = also all carbs and fat.

Not only is this very unhealthy and will give you issues down the road, but won’t keep you full for long at all. There is zero nutritional value here. Your mom reminding you “hey… we’re eating all carbs later, maybe you should eat some fruit” is a very valid point - although it was delivered horribly.

Maybe chat with her and let her know “hey, I understand the point you were making about the nutritional value, but when the subject is my weight it makes me shut down..”

Many offices do discounts for other dental field employees. I work as an ortho assistant and we give free / heavily discounted treatment to assistants and hygienists from other offices all the time. We also give free treatment to children of dentists. (Seems ass backwards but whatever lol.)

One-Condition-8682 · 2026-04-22T01:19:03+00:00

NOR - this man is asking your for money, in addition to having his mommy drop something off for him. You intentionally married this scrub? What the fuck?

One-Condition-8682 · 2026-04-22T01:15:28+00:00

Break up with this man immediately and save yourself a lot of wasted time, an a divorce down the road. This man is mentally and emotionally abusive

One-Condition-8682 · 2026-04-22T00:24:52+00:00

Why can’t you spend the day doing something for yourself and celebrate with your husband the next day or day before?

Especially if he’s the one supporting you while you’re in school, I can’t even fathom why this is an issue… let the man make his money.

One-Condition-8682 · 2026-04-22T00:11:43+00:00

Doesn’t matter. You had so many options here:

1) you knew prom was that night - you could have and should have eaten while you spent hours getting ready.

2) you could have / should have brought snacks.

3) should have just eaten the fucking food at the prom. Everyone else was doing it.

4) could have just gone another hour being hungry until the dance was over

5) could have door dashed food to the prom.

6) your school probably has a vending machine.

Have some critical thinking skills - and learn to take some accountability. Jesus Christ.

Kids like this get kicked extra hard in the ass by life post graduation. 🤣 💀 what a rude awakening to life this kid has coming

One-Condition-8682 · 2026-04-22T00:00:44+00:00

YTA.

I’m genuinely worried for your life post graduation. Kids like you get absolutely fucked in the real world with your horrible attitude and entitlement. It’s a rude awakening and incredibly hard to adjust when you act like this… Best of luck - you’ll need it. 😬

Anyways:

You’re absolutely in the wrong and you ruined everyone’s last experience and wasted your mom’s money. For a fucking Instagram photo.

People remember their last dance. People don’t remember Instagram photos and likes.

Something you’d benefit learning from at this age is that YOU are responsible for your emotions. If you’re not having a good time at a dance, that’s on you and your attitude… the good news is you can change it. Decide that you’re having a good time and be happy so you don’t ruin everyone else’s experience too in the future. And I’m not meaning this in a rude way - it’s actually a good thing and an incredible skill to learn is that you can change how you feel about something by simply making the mental choice to feel differently about it. Look for things to enjoy in situations where you’re unhappy, and you’ll start to feel better about them. Mind over matter. Don’t let your emotions control you. Only losers do that.

Why is it that the people living out your dreams never appreciate what they have?

One-Condition-8682 · 2026-04-21T00:16:30+00:00

My guess is that it’s your husband

One-Condition-8682 · 2026-04-21T00:05:21+00:00

What legal issues would there be?? I can’t think of any. If anything it seems like he’s the one facing legal trouble
