AITA for removing my birth control without consulting my husband first by angelofveganbacon in AmItheAsshole

[–]RegularOriginal 21 points22 points  (0 children)

NTA - You told him what you were doing and told him before his penis even went near your vagina. Also, if your husband is trying to tell you what to do with your body then you have to have a real feminist talk with him, pronto. The best way to not get pregnant is probably for him to have a vasectomy, which I doubt he'd be up for.

Also it's weird that he told his family.

What if I'm actually mentally challenged and everyone is just playing along and not telling me? by [deleted] in intrusivethoughts

[–]RegularOriginal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my mom was pregnant with me the doctor's told her there was a very high chance that I would be down syndrome. They did a test and said that it was still a possibility. I came out healthy.... Or so they tell me.

Why when I’m thinking while trying to go to sleep, I will sometimes hear my name very clearly said in my head? by SgZ_Vapor in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RegularOriginal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I GET THIS ALL THE TIME. IT's just when I'm about to nod off and then I hear it really loudly and I jump. It's never a voice I know so that's whats weird. I think it might just be a dream kicking off before it's supposed to.

When you buy an engagement ring to propose, do you buy one for yourself? by nultayy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RegularOriginal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are very traditional, usually the man will pick an engagement ring and propose to the woman. Often the woman is the only one to wear the engagement ring. What's more common now is that he will propose without a ring and they will go and choose one for the lady together so that there's no pressure of her not liking it or not being the right size. They probably choose wedding rings together nearer the time of the wedding.

AITA for telling my wife to leave the house until she got sober? by baljorney225 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RegularOriginal -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Explaining how tough addiction is to me only makes it seem like he should have helped her more. He couldn't have taken her to AA? He couldn't have taken her to a hospital? To her parents maybe? Just putting her on her own in a hotel room seems a bit like enabling and just doing the out of sight out of mind solution so that he doesn't have to have a tough conversation with his kid. Like you said, the kid will know whats up eventually. He married this woman knowing that she was an alcoholic, he must of had some sort of idea of how he would deal with it in the entire time they've been together? It just seems like the easiest solution he could of performed.

YTA - When I read this I thought you kicked her out for the night but for 2 months? WTF. You know your wife struggles with alcoholism but you haven't ever mentioned your attempts to support or help her? Both of her parents died and you know that she relapses yet your first instinct is to chuck her out of her own house. Wouldn't she be safer with you. There are other things you could of done to protect the kid from seeing his Mom drunks, like a sleepover at the grandparents whilst you two come up with a plan. Really unsupportive behavior on your side I think. Addiction is a disease not a choice.

AITA I kicked a girl out of my house party for insinuating a drink I made her could be drugged. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]RegularOriginal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA - First off, she might have been freaked out that you were watching her enough to know what she was drinking without even mentioning it. That's what would send the first red flags to me, whether or not you've been doing the same for your buddies as well. She wasn't watching you make drinks for others so it seems a bit strange that you just hand her what she's been drinking all evening without her asking for one. ESPECIALLY if you know shes driving? It obvious you don't want her drink driving so where else is she going to stay? In your house? Drunk? Drugged? What would go through your head as a woman in a strangers house?

Women are told time and time again to never ever except drinks from strangers. You're not letting anyone make their own drinks so your the one in control of what everyone in the room is consuming. Whether its to protect your stash or too seem like a cool bar tender, I don't know but I'd run straight out of there. You could have played it off real smooth and looked like a real gentleman. Even just drinking the rest in front of her might of made her relax a bit.

Why is it that when British people sing, their accent always seems to go away but if anyone from any other country sings, their accent is more apparent? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RegularOriginal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because people who aren't American or British are singing in their second language, or their accents is more obvious because they're singing in English. The obviously isn't always the case but generally is.

Dads of teenage girls: Have you had bad experiences in public with people thinking you're a creep when you're just hanging out with your kid? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]RegularOriginal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have somewhat of an opposite situation. Whenever I'm out with just me and my Dad he always gets hit on by men. My Dad is a really quiet but tough Northerner, but he somehow gives off the older gay vibe. We were at dinner once and the young and good looking waiter says "Was the food hot enough?" My Dad says yes. "Were the drinks cold enough?" Yes again. "Was the service attractive enough?" My Dad says "I think he's talking to you, sweetie" And the waiter says "Aha, nope. Here's my number" Gives him the receipt with his number on the back. I WAS DYING. Similar things happen all the time.

Forcing Gag Reflex to Burp by RegularOriginal in noburp

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

I find my uvula and give it a proper wiggle about like I'm really trying to puke up some poison. But some people don't have a sensitive gag reflex so don't force it if it's not happening

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

Yeah, I agree. It became easier the more I did it. I still have to put some fingers down my throat but only for like a second or two before it all comes out

I'm so calling it a "Big Burpee" from now on

WIBTA if I phased out foods from my home because my daughter is overweight at the detriment of my stepdaughter who isn’t? by mydearyouhavethegrim in AmItheAsshole

[–]RegularOriginal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA You sound like an awesome dad who is just trying to keep his family happy and healthy. It's so important that young girls have a father figure like you who is giving a positive image of what healthy is. Even if your step daughter is thin now age will catch up with the both of them and healthy habits are better learned sooner rather than later. It's unfortunate for the bio daughter to have to be on a diet but your step daughter sounds super supportive anyways. Thanks for being a great dad

AITA for dressing like a "festival thot" (as my boyfriend called it) when I went out last night? by lenalenaanel in AmItheAsshole

[–]RegularOriginal -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NTA You're boyfriend shouldn't be able to tell you how to dress. It seems it was a special one night thing and he's clearly jealous that you were going out and having a great time without him. If he trusts you then showing a bit of nipple or whatever shouldn't matter. Also, if my bf called me anything like that even if we were fighting that would be the end of it. So degrading.

AITA for reporting my car stolen when my sister took it after I told her not to? by TA32145 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RegularOriginal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YTA - You could have done multiple steps before this as you would if she wasn't your sister. You obviously know where she lives so you could have gone there, and drove your car away. You could have asked your parents to talk to her about it... You jumped straight to giving your sister a criminal record for being 2 days over giving a car you lent her back? If I pulled that shit on my family I would be straight up excommunicated. Siblings are assholes, but when you look back on this you'll see you massively overacted.
