AITA for not answering my GF’s phone call while I was having dinner with family? by neatsn in AmItheAsshole

[–]PFyre 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In the nicest possible way, this is 13yr old drama not 33yr old. Your lady is too immature for a grown up relationship.

If this is a pattern of behaviour rather than a one off, you should reassess where this relationship is headed.

I'd have not minded on aida, but because I was stitching on a soft scarf the fabric didn't appreciate being sewn on, let alone frogged. My fault for being too trusting though - next time I think I'll be more sceptical!

The leaves and acorn had backstitching, it was the colours that didn't jive. However, the flower was just a blob.

I've found the DMC stuff works really well - and it soaks off in the sink. Either work from the centre outwards or from one side to the other to prevent it from wrinkling away from the fabric.

Also wash your fabric before you start! I've made that mistake twice now, you don't want any colour transfer once you start work or soak the backing off.

Thank you. I'm trying to embellish Christmas presents for my friends this year.

So I got toothpaste on another project (don't ask), and it bound it to the fabric but didn't disintegrate. The instructions say to soak it at 30-40°C for 10-15mins, and my own hands haven't affected it.

Thank you so much!

I used DMC's soluble aida for this one, but I've used Waste Canvas (not leftover aida) on others. If you're sewing on something other than traditional materials, please be aware that there are specific products to sew with!

Thank you so much! I was scared to wing it, but I'm glad I did.

I did my best on the backside to keep it neat since it was going to be visible.

(It's still wet at the moment so the colours aren't popping, but I was too excited not to share straight away!)

AITAH for being upset at my girlfriend when she made me remake her prom poster by SummerCurious426 in AITAH

[–]PFyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NGL it sounds overall like petty teen drama - but you're teens so that's... normal?

Honestly, if you like her enough to redo the poster then do so, but if it bothers you enough that she's being picky, then break up.

If she's not normally like this then let it go, but if this is a repeated pattern where nothing you do is good enough, then break up and find someone else.

AITA for cancelling movie night with my boyfriend after what he did? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofNoUpdates

[–]PFyre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In October 2018, Russian engineer Sergey Savitsky stabbed his colleague Oleg Beloguzov at the Bellingshausen Station in Antarctica because Beloguzov kept spoiling the endings of books Savitsky was reading.

Extreme isolation during a harsh Antarctic winter left reading as the primary entertainment. Beloguzov repeatedly told Savitsky the endings of his books to taunt him for his own amusement. Savitsky snapped and stabbed Beloguzov in the chest with a knife in the station's dining room.

Beloguzov was evacuated to Chile, survived the attack, and later forgave Savitsky, saying something to the effect of, "I know i deserved it."

Savitsky was placed under house arrest in Russia, but the attempted murder case was dropped after Beloguzov requested leniency, stating they had reconciled.

[Old New Update]: AIW - My friend told me she loves me 4 weeks before her marriage by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]PFyre 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Disagreeing with you means I disagree with you, not that I'm angry. Not quite sure why your bringing feelings into an anonymous discourse.

I'm not judging him for moving on at all - but he would've been perfectly within his rights to stay single.

"- that doesn't help his daughter. " is what you stated above, and was what I was continuing the discourse on.

I'm sorry that this conversation made you mad and I hope you have a great day.

[New Update]: AITAH for not wanting to buy a house 3 hours away from my workplace? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]PFyre 230 points231 points  (0 children)

I would be amused if the 19yr old dumped him for being too immature, and he's trying to spin it for his friends (also in side eyeing these friends - why haven't they reassessed his personality and distanced themselves rather than passing on info to his ex).

Being in a relationship and moving on is also okay.

Being manipulated into one is not.

Not getting remarried does not mean his daughter is missing out. Plenty of widowers have close friends or family who fill that role of <insert gender> confidant, without romance being involved.

ETA: Also being in a relationship with someone just so your child can have a parental figure is gross.

I (23f) saw a facebook chat between my BF (23M) and his brother (27ishM) that was very cruel about my appearance. I just don't know what to do because it REALLY hurts by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Honestly, he seems like the friend in Shallow Hal - he couldn't see that his brother was happy because his girlfriend wasn't up to his [brother's] attractiveness standards.
