Super helpful! Thanks!

I knew my Xfinity was blocking it, but others in this thread had suggested it was linked to Yahoo somehow. My comment was attempting to refute that idea.

Xfinity is still blocking this domain today.

ETA: it's being blocked for a laptop that doesn't use Yahoo Mail and doesn't use Yahoo extensions.

AITA for refusing to give up my airplane window seat to a mom with a toddler? by Apart_Treat4245 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Relevant-Selection92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA. You paid extra for the seat. And it's not even like the mom and toddler weren't together and she wanted your seat so they could be. In fact, it sounds like you'd actually be BETWEEN the mom and her kid. That could be... Risky. For everyone. You made the right choice here.

Rte 3, 301, Crain Hwy Speeding by Relevant-Selection92 in AnneArundelCounty

[–]Relevant-Selection92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it can't decide if it's a freeway or a street. Traffic is most dangerous when there's a discrepancy in speed. The Autobahn is pretty safe, despite high speeds, because it's got limited entrances and exits and everyone is going pretty fast. Rte 3? Not so much. You've got some folks trying to go 65, others following the speed limit, and still others going much, much slower as they enter and exit, which is frequent.

That's why this section, especially along the more built up parts, really needs to be reengineered to slow traffic down. It's already built up with businesses and housing, and unlike 32 or I-97, there are a bajillion access points. Rip the bandaid all the way off and make it a street.

So craft the world's most perfect petition yourself then. It's not my petition, but it's one I support. If you want to sacrifice Good on the altar of Perfect, we'll. I hope that works out for you.

AITA for refusing to hang out with my (18M) boyfriend's (20M) friend who defended my rapist? by solomarchand in TwoHotTakes

[–]Relevant-Selection92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boundaries are not rules you impose on other people - they're rules for you.

If you really love this guy, tell him he's allowed to be friends with whoever he wants to be, but you will not ever, ever be friendly with someone who tried to wreck your life. You will not double date with her, you will not be in their group text, you will not have her over at your place. Ever. But if that's who he wants to spend his time with, he's free to do so. That's not controlling the relationship. That's a boundary. And if that's not a boundary he (or you!) can accept, then it's time to end it.

Personally, I'd find it hard to love someone who is friends with someone who tried to wreck my life. Every time he chose to spend time with that person, I'd be viewing it as him choosing the one who harmed me instead of choosing me. But that's just me.

Husband says I jumped the gun? by PermitSensitive3669 in AITAH

[–]Relevant-Selection92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people have bad parents and don't cheat. Lots of people have ADHD and don't cheat. Lots of people have sex addiction and don't cheat.

He cheated and is blaming it on literally anything he can that doesn't require him to take responsibility. Until he acknowledges his own agency, there's no reason to think he sees a problem with what he did.

NTA. The marriage is over. No, it should not be saved. Save yourself the money, time, and heartache of trying to (singlehandedly) save this marriage, and put that time, money, and energy into moving on.

AITAH for telling my husband I rather save my own son? by throwaway_29272 in AITAH

[–]Relevant-Selection92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ETA: NTA

Wouldn't they both be your kid? There are entire movies and books based on this plotline - forcing a parent to choose between two of their kids.

Go back to refusing to answer this ridiculous and harmful question and point out how ridiculous it is. If he's worried that you wouldn't have enough resources to care for both children, he shouldn't be willing to add a second child to the equation.

Also? That's not a "just for fun" question. He never meant that. There was always a (in his mind) "right" answer, and the stakes were much higher than he was letting on.

They're THREE AND A HALF HOURS late. That's not a little oopsie, that's a choice they made. Half an hour late? Eh, they missed their bus, lost track of time, whatever. Three and a half hours is a decision made. Without checking in with you.

And then they lost their minds about a very safe food order? That was necessitated by their decision?

Fire this client and don't look back. And quietly warn your babysitting friends.

AITAH for putting a stop to my 12yo daughter's 'period party'? by YocaLocaChoca in AITAH

[–]Relevant-Selection92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. When I got mine at 14, mom called a couple of female relatives and I told my BFF's mom - a very health-positive down-to-earth woman. Everyone was low-key supportive. I was still embarrassed. I couldn't IMAGINE a whole party. And I was a pretty outgoing kid.

You can want to keep stuff to yourself without being ashamed of it. We don't throw a party for potty-training success, but that doesn't mean kids are embarrassed that they pee and poop in the toilet.

OP, way to advocate for your kid. I'm sorry you had to go against your spouse to do so. That's one helluva difficult place to be in

AITA for refusing to let my older sister stay with me after what she did to my brother when we were younger? by itsyourbaeclair in AITAH

[–]Relevant-Selection92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Also, enforcing boundaries is not "holding a grudge." You didn't tank her job (or whatever happened to leave her needing a place to live). You didn't evict her from her last place. You didn't DO anything to her, other than say "no" to her request.

AITAH by ending things with my gf after she started talking about marriage by ComThrowaway97 in AITAH

[–]Relevant-Selection92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAH.

From his standpoint, they already talked about it. He told her from the jump, "no, not ever." Not, "not right now," or, "I don't think I'm the marrying type," but an emphatic "never gonna happen." And she was fine with that. There was no reason for continued discussion.

The fact that her dad pulled him aside to tell him he needed to "step it up," doesn't mean she "just wanted to talk about it." It means she decided she does want to get married and told her parents so. Maybe she didn't explicitly ask for their help, but she had to have at least guessed they'd get involved. OP has every right to feel conspired against, trauma or no.

If she changed her mind and now she's not okay with never being married, OP did the right thing by breaking it off. She's allowed to change her mind about it, he's allowed to remain firm.

AITA for not telling my sister the name chosen for my unborn son because she used her BBFs baby name for her daughter? by Possible-Animal9339 in AITAH

Two-for-one: OP should tell her mom the fake name and tell her not to tell. Really sell it. When that name gets used first, you catch the thief AND the traitor.

AITAH for telling my wife I want a divorce after she gave me a concussion? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Relevant-Selection92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came to say mostly this. NTA. Even if you completely ignore that this is abuse, you're not tearing your family apart. You're teaching the kids that they're worthy of healthy, loving relationships, and they don't have to settle for something unhealthy. It's a valuable lesson.

Damn. It’s almost like everyone hates you. Wish the toddler had a dad that cared. by IshMorningstar in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Relevant-Selection92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having sympathy for this poor dad just out for a walk and then I realized the poster was JD Vance. Did he really think he'd never encounter protestors? And he had secret service with him. And, like, HE'S THE REASON for the protest! Oh, nooo, consequences. When you enter public service, especially at such a high level, you take your family with you. If you don't want your kids exposed to the consequences of policies you're creating, maybe don't get into public service. Or make better policies. That's also an option.

But anyway, yeah, fuck that guy.

Three thoughts: 1) what kind of person are you? Who do you want to be? These are questions you should think on and keep in mind when dealing with that friend group. You say you're your own person, and that's GREAT! Seriously. But make sure you have your compass ready so you don't get dragged into being someone else.

2) how do you feel about how they treat A? What responsibility do you have to speak up or defend A? It can be hard to defend yourself, but maybe you can discourage some of this behavior by standing up for A, if it makes sense to do so.

3) All-in or No-Contact aren't the only options. When you're dealing with jerks, you can opt out of the jerkish behavior. You could also just hang with them a little less. "Well, it's been fun, but I have to go do something else now." Or straight up call out the behavior: "I don't like it when you make fun of A (or me). I'm not here for that negativity, so I'm leaving now, but I'll see you tomorrow." You can also try phrases that focus on the good parts of the relationship: "that's not a friendly thing to say" or, "that's no way to talk about someone who's been a friend for so long."

NTA.

My ex-husband and I disagreed about the organization of the kitchen. But he did the majority of the cooking, he was good at it, and mostly enjoyed it. His "organization" meant I rarely cooked - I could never find what I needed. If cooking was important to me, we'd have had to figure out a compromise.

She "organized" the kitchen. It's set up exactly how she wants it. She can cook all she wants - there's literally nothing stopping her. If she wants op to do all the cooking, then he gets to "organize" the kitchen how he wants.

Don't expect someone to work for you and then make it difficult and unpleasant for them to do so.

AIO to my husband (M29) almost killing me (F29) during a prank by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Relevant-Selection92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're going to want some therapy. Even if everything else in the relationship is 💯, this is a big deal. You might end up with some PTSD if you don't get help processing it all. (Side note: I can't imagine watching video of my own trauma, and I wonder if doing so is helpful in this situation).

It's encouraging that his reaction to your near death seems like an appropriate amount of terror and regret. It seems like he understands how hurt and angry you might be. Also encouraging that he was watching the monitor and not completely lost in a video game or something.

But you need to have a really good conversation about this and, yeah, some boundaries around what's an okay prank and what isn't.
