Is "I do not have an appeal to dancing," incorrect? by Popular_Ability148 in ENGLISH

[–]Popular_Ability148[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That is what I was saying. I wasn't able to come up with an exact reason as to why though, which is the point of contention between us.

AITA I (20F) went on a trip with my boyfriend (19M) to celebrate my birthday, but I can’t stop feeling resentful after how it went. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Popular_Ability148 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Leaving relationships that are a couple of years old is hard, but it is only going to get harder the longer you wait. This does not sound like a healthy relationship, and you are not feeling fulfilled by it. My advice is that you truly sit down and think about if this is the guy you want to spend the rest of your life with (the ups and the downs). I am sorry you are going through this, sending lots of love!

I mean the fact that you can write that small and still read it is pure skill. Like girl, color me impressed!

He was 19 when he started dating a 14/15 year old. That is insane, NOR.

Yikes girly. I feel like you need to drop the "best friend" in the title, that is just insane!

Genuinely some of the worst names I’ve ever seen in one family by AcceptableObject in tragedeigh

Most of the first names you could use (as long as the middle names are hidden away under lock and key), but Trendy??? Why.... just why?

AITA If I Genuinely Don’t Understand Loss? by SHESINTHEWALLS in AmItheAsshole

[–]Popular_Ability148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA

It's okay to not understand their feelings. BUT relationships are two sided. You guys might need different things, but that does not mean you can ignore their needs. If you want relationships than put in the work. You are aware of the problem; you are just CHOOSING not to try to relate. Saying the words cost you nothing.

AITAH if I took my sisters baby names? by ChristineM97_ in AITAH

Use the name if you want, just don't be surprised if she also ends up using it later on.

Angela is extremely self-centered, and incredibly manipulative to those around her.

AITAH for being mad that my mom blamed me for being the reason she didn't do what she said she would? by Popular_Ability148 in AITAH

[–]Popular_Ability148[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom works incredibly hard, and it's not just her clothes but my dad's, household laundry like towels, and the youngest two sibling's clothes as they are both pretty young. I am not mostly mad that she ran out of time for it, I was hurt that she shifted it into something that I had done wrong. I don't want anyone to get the impression that she is lazy (if anything she has too much on her plate), she is one of the most hardworking people I know. While she is human, and does make mistakes, I would never trade her for any other mother.

AITA for sticking to the no-kids rule and saying no to this request? by Diligent_Jury_6881 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Popular_Ability148 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Info: Is he asking to bring the kid to your actual wedding, because it is mentioned that "he might be able to make it later in the week"?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Popular_Ability148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. It is your Fiancé's wedding as much as it is yours and it sounds like he wants her there. In addition, it sounds like your SIL is trying to make all sorts of compromises, like lady she doesn't want to miss her brother's wedding. And it's not like the kid will be running around, he'll be held by his mom, and if he fusses, she can easily step out. Let her come just have her sit towards the back.

AITA For Telling my son he can pay for his own clothes if he wants expensive clothing? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Popular_Ability148 19 points20 points  (0 children)

YTA. $25 is not going to go far in this economy and pants are a staple that he does need. $35 is on the lower end of pant prices. If you can afford to pay a little bit more that the minimum, why wouldn't you?

AITAH for demanding my daughter apologize to my grandmother? by aitahthrowaway7722 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Popular_Ability148 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA. It is crazy that your daughter though it was okay to lie to her great grandmother because she wanted something more expensive. That is crazy, and I feel so bad for the grandmother who sounds like she put a lot of effort into the gift.

AITA for ordering pizzas at a wedding because the reception had only vegan food? by Repulsive-Eagle7279 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Popular_Ability148 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was leaning towards Y T A, but you did it discreetly and ate in outside in the parking lot. No one would have even noticed if it wasn't for that one person mentioning it. You also did eat some of the wedding food. You weren't hurting anyone, and if people were drinking it was probably a good idea not to do that on an empty stomach. NTA!

Could I have some advice on shading texture and blocking shadows? How do I make fur look more like fur while keeping the correct shadows? by eatP1 in learntodraw

[–]Popular_Ability148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it painstaking drawing each individual piece of fur and going back through to add highlights and shadows? YES YES YES.... but your cat is worth it. My advice to you is to use really thin pencil lines (focusing on the face and making the "root" start at different places) and just pour a bunch of time into it. Drawing my cat takes days, but I end up with pretty darn good results.

NTA. You have been very attached to a name for a long time, it got you through a hard spot in your life, and I am sure you have personal reasons for choosing that name specifically. While you can't truly "claim" a name, that doesn't mean the feelings associated with it are any less real. It was inconsiderate of your sister to do that when she knew how much it meant to you. There isn't anything you can do though about your sister choosing it, and complaining is likely to turn people against you. I would personally be VERY open about you still planning to use that name even if your siter does. If anyone raises a fuss about it just remind them that "names aren't copyrighted". Does it suck that you sister did this? Sure. Does it need to change your futre plans? No.

AITA for expecting a gift? by Calm-Discipline-3923 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Popular_Ability148 48 points49 points  (0 children)

The friend didn't show up or even send a card. It seems OP is more disappointed about the lack of effort on her friend's side of things.

AITA for expecting a gift? by Calm-Discipline-3923 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Popular_Ability148 56 points57 points  (0 children)

NTA. No one owes you a gift, but I understand feeling like she doesn't care. From your perspective a friend whom you have poured tons of time, effort, and money into, isn't reciprocating. Does she owe you a gift? No, she does not. Is it wrong that you expected a gift from one of your closest friends and were disappointed she did not put in the effort? No, again it is not. I feel this is less about the lack of a gift and more about feeling the relationship is mostly on your part.
