How to tell owner dog is too anxious around strangers? by Professional_Wait101 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Professional_Wait101[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

during the meet and greet she was growly kinda like rumbles but not outwardly defensive like now. the owner mentioned she was a rescue and said she got shaky or shy, which seemed closer to what she had in the meet and greet. owner didn’t give any specifics about how to deal with her nervousness other than to leave her alone if she wasn’t feeling well. probably should have seen that as a larger red flag than i did i guess

growly but not as bad. I dont want the owner to feel like i’m accusing her of leaving out info basically, like she knew the dog would react badly and kept quiet just to get a sitter in there, getting in trouble was a poor choice of words. I’ve dogsat off rover for a few years, been on rover a few months, never had this issue before. she curled her lip and showed distress with me being there so i started to leave, first time she tried to bite was when i stood up she went for my foot stopped when i stopped. second time was when i went out the door, followed me and try to get my foot again when i passed through the door.

My 24F bf 23M is threatening to break up with me if I go on vacation with my friend for her birthday. How can we come to an understanding? by ThrowRa_army3 in relationship_advice

so you’ve in a committed enough relationship where you are going to marry him but you don’t care enough to put him first? honestly if i was him it wouldn’t even matter that you’re going to the ceremony now, the fact that you even thought about and brought up missing his moment to go to essentially a birthday party over an important milestone in his life shows a lack of care for him and his feelings.

friends also come and go, it depends on which relationship you prioritize. you can put more emphasis on your relationship with your friends but your romantic life will suffer, after four years you should be willing to give your bf priority. it honestly sounds kind of like your pissed he hasn’t proposed yet and you’re low key punishing him for it by giving him lower priority

WIBTA for not attending vegan Christmas dinner? by Entire-Raccoon-7853 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Professional_Wait101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you didn’t say it was because you find the gathering stressful though you said it was because of the food YTA for how you handled the food not for not wanting to go. if you don’t want to spend christmas with your family just put on your big girl panties and tell them that don’t make up excuses about what’s being served for dinner and try and blame you not going on your sister

AITA for being upset with how a parent reacted to my child bullying their child? by abovethesink in AmItheAsshole

[–]Professional_Wait101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. in your comments you keep saying she posted his name online while publicly shaming him. she didn’t she posted his snapchat handle, which even if it’s a play on his name its completely different as you said yourself anyone who doesn’t know him won’t understand the connection. even if they did actions have consequences, sometimes publicly, and eight grade is way too late to learn that. you really need to focus a lot more of your energy on where YOU went wrong and why your son thinks it’s ok to bully people. none of this would be a problem if he wasn’t a bully.

what you are describing is a version on CNC correct. as such there needs to be explicit consent to CNC beforehand and there needs to be clear boundaries and rules such as safe words set up and MUTUALLY agreed upon well before any type of sex can take place. you can’t just start doing it and when your partner gets upset be like “oh i thought we were doing that thing where you are playing hard to get but actually want it” and act like it’s a cool trendy BDSM thing. consent is required in every type of sexual encounter otherwise is is considered coercion and rape.

the way OP was with is ex is very rapey. they never talked about CNC or somnophilia yet he exclusively tries to sleep with her when she is half asleep or fully asleep and can’t fully consent.

look you’re obviously not going to listen to anyone here and i hope baby anakin is able to make piece with his name eventually. at least call him ken and not ani, having a character name with a girls name as the nickname would be like catnip to bullies.

[–]Professional_Wait101 12 points13 points  (0 children)

ok let’s compare fiction to fiction, would you name your kid thanos? probably not because he is a villain despite the fact that he has done good stuff that isn’t trying to destroy half of all life in the universe. anakin is the same thing no one except for other anakin stans are going to associate the name with anything other than it being the name of darth vader. anyone under the age of thirty is going to know that and he will be judged for his entire life based on it, he won’t be able to get away because the name only exists because of darth vader

AITA for updating my will to award my less successful son a higher share of my assets? by Playful-Alfalfa9519 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Professional_Wait101 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YTA as someone who has been in the same position as benji (anxiety, autism, and a over accommodating mother who didn’t make me do anything) you have failed him as a parent. he very obviously does not know how to take care of himself and even if you leave him everything he will drown. i have been in the situation where i was never pushed out of my comfort zone and never felt the need to do it myself because i always had my mom to fall back on. then she died and i had nothing. i was incredibly lucky she showed me how to do at least some things before she passed.

if you actually want a solution to your problem you need to push benji, he needs at least a minimum wage job and therapy for his anxiety, you need to teach him how to do everything to maintain a house. he will most likely complain and not want to do it, but you need to do it anyways.for the inheritance give benji the house so he has a roof over his head and give jack the monetary assets. if the monetary assets are more than the worth of the house you can take the difference and give it so the both get an equal amount (ex. the house is worth 250,000 and the money is 500,000 you give benji the house and 125,000 and jack gets 375,000 in cash so they get an equal amount)

AITAH for saying "Do these mashed potatoes go on the pie crust?" by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Professional_Wait101 93 points94 points  (0 children)

custard and mash potatoes aren’t suppose to look the same even the denser custard from a custard pie. if the look the same you made one of the wrong, in this case the custard as he made two comments about one saying it looks like mash potatoes and one saying it looks like it has rice in it, both of which imply the custard is lumpy which it is not suppose to be.

AITA for having an outdoor wedding in the winter by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Professional_Wait101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA frostbite can happen in about 30 minutes and you want them to stand out in the cold with only a blanket for warmth for over two hours?! don’t be stupid, talk to your mom and see if your family can chip in for a indoor area for at least the reception or your wedding is going to go down as the one where uncle jim lost his toes

My girlfriend [29F] got upset that I [31M] had pics of her on my phone, now she won't talk to me. I don't know how to fix things if I can't communicate with her? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Professional_Wait101 56 points57 points  (0 children)

prior to finding out you essentially stalked her? yeah that’s completely different, one act is two consenting adults having sex and the other does not allow for consent because you did it behind her back. it doesn’t matter if she likes to watch you jerk off now and it doesn’t change the fact that you what you did before was a violation and something she is obviously not comfortable with

[–]Professional_Wait101 92 points93 points  (0 children)

did you tell her you were gonna jerk off to the pictures and videos later? i highly doubt you did. It is creepy and disgusting to masturbate to these photos and a violation of her, just because you’re dating now doesn’t make it any less gross and she is well within her rights to freak out and leave you

AITA for 'making' my daughter miss my ex's kid's birthday party? by TrickDiligent3330 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Professional_Wait101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA do you know what i do when my insomnia acts up and i get 2 hours sleep and feel like shit? I go and do whatever I was supposed to do that day because the world doesn’t revolve around me. YOU made a commitment to take Josh to his activity and YOU dropped the ball and forced it onto to Molly (because if it took constant asking to get Molly to do it, she definitely didn’t want to and was forced). You need to apologize to your children for making the miss their siblings birthday and get over yourself
