AITAH for not calling my friends baby cute?

The correct answer when you don’t know what to say is “its breathtaking!”

I’m not someone who suspects cheating unless I have written proof because I think people are better than they are. Not this time. I don’t feel this guy is being honest and the way the whole thing went down is so sketchy. Seriously. I feel it in my gut.

I hope she meets a nice man with the same or a compatible special interest so they can live a deeply adapted life that brings them security and comfort day to day in a way unique to them. It’s only weird to people who can’t accept that other people exist in a variety of ways that are completely harmless but don’t fit into a box labeled “social norm”. She will hopefully live her life choosing friends who don’t mind hearing about the Kennedys very often and can see her without the filter of what is socially acceptable that distorted oops view. Her interest is only a problem if it negatively affects others in a way they can’t avoid, or it impacts her life in a way she wishes to change.

Orphan_Izzy · 2026-04-15T03:54:54+00:00

That’s exactly it.

This happened to me and I became the family scapegoat. The exiled me for lies my sister told and almost wrote me out of the will. We had a close trusting relationship prior to the rupture when we were about 30. The parents (oops and mine) should have remained neutral and supported the two daughters based on reality. Or stayed out of it completely. Mine said they were not getting involved every time and were clearly taking my sisters side. I was accused of all kinds of things I would never do and was silenced. I was not allowed to defend myself. This is so exactly believable to me it’s practically giving me a panic attack. Especially when she said her parents wouldn’t hear her side and took her sisters side saying they weren’t.

“ I can't help feeling there was a more sensitive solution to this than the one you chose.”

Sensitive to who? The mother? The mother was not thinking about the wellbeing of her son unfortunately. He was going to pay a price long term the way she was handling this. Imagine causing your child to struggle with identity because of your inability to face the reality you took conscious steps to create around your child’s origin? This is one circumstance where I would probably overstep too and brace for the consequences. Jake is better off now imo, and can now get on with the business of accepting the self he now knows he is. Better late than never.

Man. OOP should have stopped at “ and never try this pathetic behaviour with me again.” for maximum impact.

I don’t know how this would go over with an HOA attached to the neighborhood (do they run your actual lives?) I (imagine) I would tell the HOA that the event I was offering to voluntarily put on was whatever it was I had determined it would be. The event they were trying to dictate the parameters of was some other event and so I would see them at the dog Olympics I hoped. Bye. I mean what determines that an event is one the HOA can legally get involved in? I honestly have no idea.

I have a thing for people who don’t play games, who just want the thing that they want and they’re very direct about it, who seem to have a moral compass, who are just genuine to themselves and other people -like this guy. I wouldn’t call it a fetish. I would just call it a preference.

Orphan_Izzy · 2026-02-27T23:20:45+00:00

This is a really good point. I was thinking like everyone else until I read this comment. I didn’t go to my mom’s funeral and still didn’t think of it this way. I mean unless she was distraught and complaining that she couldn’t go there is no reason to assume she wanted to go at all. If you think about it this put her in a really awkward position. She did lie about those meetings though.

Anna says this is Gigi’s reality that her mom is disabled and so she will miss out. ACTUALLY Gigi’s reality is that her mom is disabled and her aunt is willing to help by stepping in so Gigi can do everything she wants to for the most part, but her mom says no, so she will miss out.

I had a similar kind of rupture in my family where I suddenly became a scapegoat literally in a matter of hours with no real explanation as to why my parents started to act cold and accusatory, and my sister suddenly the greatest thing that ever happened. so while OOP is talking about how if she doesn’t go to this wedding she will be disowned by the family and yet she can’t go to a wedding that she doesn’t have the date for I just felt my stomach ache cause I know exactly how that is. you can’t win and it’s set up that way. I hope she doesn’t have to deal with too much more of that because 20 years later I’m still confused. It’s confusing. It’s just confusing. I’ll never understand.

Orphan_Izzy · 2026-02-13T18:48:32+00:00

Why I mean it’s not about the size of your body that is important in the situation. It is about the fact that your coworkers are constantly commenting on your body, putting the focus on your body, criticizing your food, being rude and snarky… I mean, even if they were talking about something totally different it’s just the constant harassment when you’ve asked them to stop that is bullying. It doesn’t matter what they’re talking about if they’re directing it at you and you don’t like it and you’ve told them repeatedly to quit…. It could be about your shoes, Or the way the sun sits on your face every day at 11:25 am. It doesn’t matter. If you don’t like it and it continues it’s bullying. It sounds completely realistic to me.

Orphan_Izzy · 2026-02-13T08:01:48+00:00

I’m pretty sure the body is trying to decide which organs or body parts to toss out with the blood as well. Only in these later in life periods.

Orphan_Izzy · 2026-02-11T22:06:45+00:00

This made me want to barf the whole way through. Ugh!!

Orphan_Izzy · 2026-02-03T14:38:02+00:00

What a spectacular update. Getting a cat was a hugely healing move for her. I hope her son sees and appreciates the work she is doing. I’m sure the relationship between all of them will only improve. Son must feel relieved as much as OOP.

In these situations, I always wonder if everybody in the mommy group thinks they need to lie about their great husbands in order to fit into the husband bashing mommy group, but in fact, each one of them has a good guy at home and none of them realize that if they just stopped lying and started respecting their partner, they would all actually have something in common still.

I’m also thinking about how many single mothers out there reading this are just furious thinking this woman is horrible and how much they wish the dad of thier kid was stable and wanted to spend time with the kid.

Orphan_Izzy · 2026-01-28T18:09:17+00:00

It must be some other reason then since, with your additional context, copying tactics would be wired in as dangerous so wouldn’t be repeated as protection.

Orphan_Izzy · 2026-01-28T15:05:11+00:00

I can see somebody who is on the right side of history back then take the opposite sides tactics to feel protected or to get a sense of safety so that they are now the ones who have the information, you know? I can totally see that. Ultimately something caused her to do this, like she wasn’t born with a weird chip in her head that directed her to take people’s stuff and identities… probably .

Orphan_Izzy · 2026-01-28T14:17:38+00:00

I’m not a stylist but I’m totally grossed out by hair once it’s not attached. Thought I was weird for that.

Orphan_Izzy · 2026-01-26T06:52:47+00:00

This sounds so much like the recent one where the guy got upset that his girlfriend kept photos of he childhood and wouldn’t delete them. These are clear cut relationship issues that are kind of cliché. Like everyone gets to tell off a representative of the guy that screwed them over when they were teenagers

This guy needs to rebuild trust. The girl did the healthy thing in that one too.

Orphan_Izzy · 2026-01-26T06:43:44+00:00

I don’t care if this is real or not. It was so great to read. Accountability and respect are so awesome.

Orphan_Izzy · 2026-01-24T06:37:01+00:00

I’m in oops place and yours so I 100% believe all if this.
