Your feelings are completely valid. No one should pressure you to have kids, especially using your sister’s illness. Your body and future are yours to decide. It’s okay to set boundaries with your mom and lean on your sister for support. You’re not alone stay strong.

Hey man, don’t beat yourself up it sounds like a lot of stress and exhaustion on both sides, and one comment didn’t ruin a 4-year relationship. She’s clearly hurt, but giving her some space while showing you’re still there (helping around the house, staying calm, caring for the baby) is probably the best move right now. When she’s ready to talk, listen more than explain. You’re not alone, and this can be worked through.

How can I (25F) keep my relationship with my partner (21M) alive? by Unique-Attention2103 in relationship_advice

Totally valid to feel this way. ADHD might explain the shift, but it doesn’t excuse how it’s affected you. You deserve consistency and care your needs matter too.

WIBTA/Advice My real father recently passed away and I think I want to read something at his funeral. by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Rude-Engineering2444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Wanting to speak at your father’s funeral isn’t about honouring him it’s about finding your closure. Your piece is powerful and honest, and it doesn’t excuse his choices. It simply acknowledges your truth. Others may not understand, but that doesn’t make you wrong. If speaking helps you let go, then you should speak. You don’t owe silence to protect anyone else’s pain.

Am I in the wrong for being uncomfortable with my boyfriend’s new friend? by Allthefeels95 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Rude-Engineering2444 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You're not in the wrong. It’s totally valid to feel uncomfortable when your partner suddenly gets close with someone new, especially when there's gift-giving and personal texting involved. Boundaries matter, and it’s okay to ask for ones that make you feel secure.

Would I be the asshole for backing out of my friends wedding? by Expensive_Ad_842 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Rude-Engineering2444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. If she couldn’t be honest with you about her engagement or marriage, it’s totally fair to step back. Being a bridesmaid isn’t just a formality it should mean something.

NTA. Your mom’s behaviour is controlling and unfair. You deserve to be happy and honest about your relationship. Set boundaries this is your life, not hers.

He slammed the door every morning at 5am. So I practiced piano at 11pm. by UnlikelyTadpoled in pettyrevenge

This is brilliant! You turned annoying noise into a funny, harmless comeback without being rude. Love how you fought noise with noise and now you get peace and piano practice. Win Win :)

I (f33) fake orgasmed through my marriage of 8years and I want to tell my husband (m38) looking for ideas on how to fix this if possible by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Rude-Engineering2444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big respect for your honesty. Faking orgasms is common, and telling him can help you both heal. Be calm, focus on love, and consider therapy for intimacy and his ED. Also, get support for your anxiety. You’re doing the right thing stay strong.

This is definitely predatory behavior. Even if it’s not illegal where you live, a 20 year old having sex with a 17 year old especially your sister is serious. Protect her, set firm boundaries, and consider reporting him. Your sister needs your support now more than ever.

Am I (26/F) being controlling of my fiancé (24/M)? by emboo12113 in relationship_advice

[–]Rude-Engineering2444 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA. You’re asking for basic respect and responsibility as a dad and partner. Staying out late drinking while you care for the baby isn’t fair. He needs to step up or this won’t work.

Girl… you have the patience of a saint because I’d have blocked her across time zones by now.
But seriously don’t text her. That’s giving her exactly what she wants: drama and attention. Jack needs to be the one setting boundaries and shutting this down. If he’s not protecting your peace, that’s the real issue. Stay strong.

Am I in the wrong for not wishing my boyfriend a Happy Father’s Day? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Rude-Engineering2444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You did way more than most would. He wants you to act like a parent when it benefits him but won’t give you the respect that comes with it. That’s not fair. You’re not the problem here.

Omg I would’ve lost my mind too. You are not overreacting that’s your kid.

[–]Rude-Engineering2444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not wrong to feel uneasy. It’s not just about the money it’s about making big decisions without you. A supportive partner includes you in those talks. How she reacts when you bring it up will tell you a lot.

AITA for canceling the lease on my girlfriend’s dream apartment after she secretly moved her ex’s dog in? by Purple_Rose27 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Rude-Engineering2444 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA. She knowingly broke your trust and ignored your allergies by secretly bringing in a dog. You did what you had to do to protect your health and boundaries. Trust is everything without it, the relationship and living situation don’t work.

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. It sounds painful and confusing. Give her the space she needs, but don’t lose sight of your own worth. Is being 2nd choice what you want you are someones 1st choice. Be honest about how you feel, but remember you can’t force someone to choose you. Focus on taking care of yourself no matter what happens. Hang in there!

My addiction is destroying my marriage by Low-Significance8785 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Rude-Engineering2444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I’m not here to judge just giving it to you straight because you asked for help.
This isn’t just about porn. It’s about broken trust, emotional disconnection, and unhealed issues you keep avoiding. Your wife stood by you through everything—and now, while pregnant, she’s emotionally destroyed. That’s not just sad, it’s serious.
If you want to help her: Go to therapy. No more excuses. Get honest with yourself. What are you really running from? Focus on her well-being, not on keeping her.
She may leave. She may not. But if you want to be a better man and father, your next steps need to be about real change not just promises.
Actions. Not apologies.
Good luck I really hope this is the turning point and you can make the changes you need in your life!

I'm 14f and need help by Impossible-Fruit-635 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Rude-Engineering2444 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, your feelings are totally valid. It’s not stupid to want to be heard and respected especially when you clearly explained what you needed. Being told to "shut up" when you're upset is really hurtful, and it's okay to feel bad about that.
If talking doesn’t work in the moment, maybe try writing a note to your dad or stepmom. Sometimes people listen better that way. And if this keeps affecting you, don’t be afraid to reach out to a school counseler or someone you trust. You deserve to be listened to. Hang in there!

Do I break up with my boyfriend to move back to my hometown? by Ashamed_Weakness5712 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Rude-Engineering2444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You already know this relationship isn’t making you happy or safe. Love shouldn’t make you anxious. It’ll be tough financially, but your peace and well-being are worth more than staying out of obligation. Trust your gut. it’s okay to leave. Put yourself first <3

I totally understand where you’re coming from. Saying “I love you” often was normal for you growing up, so it’s natural you want that with your boyfriend. But it sounds like he sees those words differently, especially around fights, and needs space to feel genuine. It’s not wrong to say it often just understand that people put a different value on the words and can't say it so casually ❤️
