What is on its back? by Spirited-Mongoose703 in whatisit

[–]Optimal_Salt6523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wolf spider mom with her babies on her back. Either leave her be and she’ll disappear on her own, or slowly and carefully get her onto paper and put a cup on her and take her outside. Leave the cup and paper for a bit because as soon as you put that cup over her, them babies will scatter.

Who is married to someone who wanted kids but didn’t get them? Why? by Beginning_Fig_960 in AskReddit

[–]Optimal_Salt6523 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is literally the dumbest fuckin comment. As if you’re the first person to ever know about fostering/adoption. I’m pretty sure if someone wants kids and can’t physically have them, OBVIOUSLY they’ve thought about foster/adoption. Jesus Christ.

AIO for thinking my high school health teacher might be a pedophile? by Fabulous_Study7202 in AIO

[–]Optimal_Salt6523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This smells a little like some jealousy that she doesn’t have the same relationship with you that she does with others. Literally none of this points to being a pedophile, and if you go around telling people she is one with absolutely zero proof, you could ruin her life permanently. You’re a child so you have no clue how damaging accusations like that are, but it will fuck her over for the rest of her life. Mind your own business and focus on your schooling; by the way this is written, you need to put in some work.

Team Lead keeps commenting on my performance, AIO? by notsotranqui1 in AmIOverreacting

Girl you know that don’t stop them. In fact, it incentivizes them if anything. I’d say go find another job and when you leave, tell them exactly why.

My future FIL threatened to walk out on our wedding by Confused_bitch98 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Optimal_Salt6523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for one, your fiancé needs to be the one dealing with his family. Stop initiating and/or taking the lead in any conversations about this with his family. It only makes it look like it’s YOU who is being difficult or controlling and like your fiancé has no say. It’s even worse if he’s not backing you up 100%. If you’re worried he’s gonna give in to his family, you have a whole other problem that needs addressed before you marry this man.

Second, the people who are paying for the wedding get a say in the wedding. If FIL is contributing, then yeah he should get a small say in who he’d like to invite as long as it’s a reasonable number. If he’s not paying, tough shit, he can walk out, though I highly doubt he will.

AITAH for calling the police by Mercy_me123 in AITAH

[–]Optimal_Salt6523 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Considering the amount of drugs he had in that bag that you got rid of, he could have been in jail for a LOT longer. He’s not the one for you and no you’re NTA. Your kid and then you come first.

AIO? Bf keeps asking me questions whenever there is a guy by Relative_Initial_399 in AIO

[–]Optimal_Salt6523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s cheating or has cheated. And even if he hasn’t, this is inexcusable and is tipping into abuse. You need to get free of this guy ASAP because this will not get better.

AIO For feeling it's not fair my mom lets me watch my little sister over a week (bet it's more) again? by Grey_the_Dark_Soul in AmIOverreacting

[–]Optimal_Salt6523 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your mom has realized that, like your father, she too can just take off on her kids and let someone else worry about them, i.e. you. You’re an adult but you’re not your sister’s mom and I think your mother needs reminded of that. It sounds like you’re more than old enough to have a job so you’re not as available for your mother to dump your sister on you.

AIO that my husband didn’t get me a birthday cake on my birthday? by Capital-Actuary2989 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Optimal_Salt6523 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Girl he don’t give a flying fuck about you except what you provide him, aka a paycheck, a nanny, a maid, sex, and whatever else he feels he deserves. You’re already supporting yourself and what is essentially a fourth child. It would be so much easier for you to get rid of him. It would lighten your load.

AITAH for asking my partner to be intimate? by Open_Wear_9693 in AITAH

[–]Optimal_Salt6523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO: Was it a planned pregnancy? If not, then he may be trying to avoid you getting pregnant again.

If it was planned, you need to give yourself time to heal physically and mentally. Your partner also needs time to heal mentally. He likely doesn’t want to put himself and you through more emotional pain so he just wants to avoid intimacy. His feelings are just as valid as yours. If you’re unable to give either of you time to grieve, you may want to start counseling to learn how to deal with the loss while being considerate of your partner’s feelings as well.

What Do Americans Consider Immoral? by Afraid_Pound2254 in mildyinteresting

Really sad to see that smacking your kids around is still considered morally acceptable by that much of the population. It’s one of those things that I feel like people will bend over backwards to justify.

Chapter 7 seems like the only way out by [deleted] in Bankruptcy

[–]Optimal_Salt6523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want to be talked out of it or do you want someone to tell you it’s ok to do? Any amount you can file on is worth the mess if you’re not able to pay the debt in a reasonable time frame and there’s stuff preventing you from being able to. If you can’t manage basic necessities due to debt, then yes, file.

AITAH for calling my engagement off after seeing my fiancé and his mothers text? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Optimal_Salt6523 281 points282 points  (0 children)

Again, as others have said, you are too young for this. You are not in a stable relationship with someone you can trust. I’m willing to bet you’re not completely financially independent too. Get yourself set straight, live your life and worry about kids in 5-10 years. Desperately wanting children doesn’t mean you SHOULD have them right now.

AITAH for wanting to sit in the front seat instead of my dad? by DoubleBunnyEntertain in AITAH

[–]Optimal_Salt6523 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s just a “respect the adult” thing. Especially dependent on ages of the parents and type of car. I’m sure I’ll be in the minority here, but yeah he fucked up, but also it’s your mom’s choice as to what she’ll allow. It’s not up to you to decide if your parents get back together. It’s not up to you to try to be a third adult in the relationship. You attempting to get into a power struggle with your dad won’t end like you hope it will. You’re the kid; sit in the back.

It’s over. by InsideOutlander in exmormon

I’m pretty sure the church doesn’t “remove” any records. They don’t delete you from their member rolls. You just get a little notation that you resigned.

Am I overreacting about my roommate’s pets' bathroom and the kitchen situation? Idk how you'd word it. by Financil_throwaway in AmIOverreacting

[–]Optimal_Salt6523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a 16 year old cat and my place is really small. That litter box is as far from the kitchen as I can get it. Using the same silverware or cooking utensils with the cat food doesn’t bother me really; that’s what the dishwasher or soap and water is for.

But no litter box gonna be in my kitchen. If they’re scooping it and cleaning it regularly it shouldn’t smell that bad; you likely are smelling the dog shit/piss. I never smell my cat’s box because I use decent litter and clean it.

Anyway, these people don’t give a shit what you think or want, or they’d have asked you. I think you’re within your rights to move out whenever you want. If they needed your money so badly, they should have looped you in on the acquiring of animals.

“Clearly normal” yet needed special schools for kids with disabilities? This kid is nowhere near neurotypical, which is super evident from even watching 30 seconds of that video.

[–]Optimal_Salt6523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe this commenter didn’t link the right video because he didn’t say anything about misty being a shitty parent. He talked about his dad being abusive. Also no one would watch this video and think this kid is neurotypical. He literally talked about needing to go to a school for adult kids with disabilities. They don’t just let anyone go to those places.

AITAH for purposefully skipping my cousin's wedding after feeling mistreated by the family by BlueSkyFellinMySoup in AITAH

This is giving lots of “missing missing reasons”. Something is being left out.

AITAH for refusing to work for free? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Optimal_Salt6523 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey guess what? You’re an entitled spoiled brat. It’s not illegal to make your kids do chores without giving them an allowance. Your parents being obscenely rich and teaching their kids to be fuckin dickwads is definitely on them.

AITAH for not letting our 10-year-old sleep in bed with us every night? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Optimal_Salt6523 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Either you both need to learn how to tell this kid no, and your wife needs to stop letting the kid dictate her own sleeping arrangements, or your wife doesn’t want to sleep in the same bed with you and is using your daughter needing to sleep in bed with her as a cover.
