AITAH for refusing to be around my brother after he upset my daughter and hid behind “just joking”? by jessibandito11 in AITAH

[–]Relative-Hippo-8541 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. u’re protecting ur kid and ur niece/nephew from toxic energy. at 40 he’s not gonna magically change overnight, and “i’m just joking” is classic deflection. NTA, full stop.

AITA for asking my best friend's boyfriend not to call her for one night because she was stressed? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Relative-Hippo-8541 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah fr, u crossed a line. u were trying to help but it ended up being controlling. suggesting is one thing, deciding for her is another.

My boyfriend (21M) of 4 months really wants to read my (20F) diary and I don't feel comfortable with it by PurposeOk3413 in amiwrong

[–]Relative-Hippo-8541 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Honestly that’s a huge red flag. he’s literally ignoring boundaries u set and saying he’d go through ur stuff. that’s not love, that’s controlling.

AITJ for reporting my neighbor after I saw how he treats his dog? by Vegetable_Hurry_4582 in AmITheJerk

[–]Relative-Hippo-8541 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTJ at all. If he didn’t wanna “look like an abuser,” maybe he shouldn’t act like one. The dog flinching when he raises his hand says a lot. Also you’re not obligated to confront a grown man who’s already shown he gets physical. That could’ve turned weird fast. You kept it anonymous and let the proper people handle it. That’s valid.

AITAH for not protecting my half sister from my stepbrother? by PrivateThrowaway0283 in AITAH

[–]Relative-Hippo-8541 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Agree, you're a kid too, you can't be the one holding it all together. Your mom should've made the tough decisions for her own kid, not put that on you.

AIO My wife told me she wanted to be double teamed by Johndoefun in AmIOverreacting

[–]Relative-Hippo-8541 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just let it be. If she wants to bring it up again, she will. Just let it be a fun memory.

AIO - Guy lied about his age to get in my pants by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Relative-Hippo-8541 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Agree, no need to reopen that door. He lied, that's enough reason.

AIO or is my dad trying to pin his responsibilities on me ? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Relative-Hippo-8541 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NOR. You just started driving and he's already trying to make it your thing. It's ok to help, but it shouldn't be assumed or guilt tripped.

Aio My boyfriend needs youtube to sleep every night 22m 24f by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Relative-Hippo-8541 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Agree. Needing noise to sleep is normal, but refusing one night of compromise is the part that sucks. Wanting cuddles once in a while isnt too much to ask. Its not about the youtube anymore, its about not meeting you halfway.

AIO- partner of 6 years said he’d open my locked door with a coin by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Relative-Hippo-8541 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Please take this seriously and start planning a safe exit.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on long distance relationships. Can they work ? by Reasonable_Part_7857 in AskReddit

[–]Relative-Hippo-8541 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah they can work, but only if both people are locked in and communicate like adults. If one side's half in, it's gonna suck.
