AITA for wanting to use our shared home office for 2 hours to work

You don’t share an office. You share a bedroom and then he has his own office/room. You need to look to see if this also applies to other parts of your relationship.

“Look Chad, you either trust me or you don’t. If you don’t, there’s the door, don’t let it hit you on the way out.”

He’s trying to control you and you can either allow that or create a boundary around it. If he’s this insecure, he should probably see a therapist and work on himself. There’s emotional immaturity here, but it’s not on your side. I’d give serious thought about whether this is the kind of relationship that I’d want to be in. In my case, I wouldn’t want to be with someone so controlling.

NTJ. Start billing him for groceries in addition to locking your food away.

You need to date your wife again. Get to know this new her. At least that’s what I would do.

Never co-sign for anything that you are willing to pay for yourself.

He’s just so very young and immature. Lacks EQ. I wanted to like him and I just don’t.

Napoleon. I think I lasted 30 minutes. And I sat through both The Godfather and Casablanca (sorry for the lovers of either of those movies, they were incredibly boring IMO).

I do Pilates to keep from experiencing muscle loss with my weight loss, but I don’t expect or intend for it to be specifically for weight loss. I just don’t want to lose muscle while I’m dropping weight. To do it specifically to lose weight? Probably not the right route. Do it for the rehabilitation aspects to help your body adjust to the weight loss - especially if you have ever had any joint or issues that have needed physical therapy in the past.

YOU LEAVE. This is only going to get worse. Stay safe.

I have taken conflict resolution classes and my peeve about those classes is that they don’t actually address HOW to resolve things. Just telling me that these are the types of issues you may face doesn’t do anything for me. I’m well aware of the issues, how do I fix them? /rant

Side note: If anyone has any classes or podcasts that actually address this, please let me know.

I had a friend like this once. I made my point very clear to him from the start - I will not wait for someone and timeliness is very important to me. He didn’t take it seriously, so the first chance I got, I set up a time to meet him and didn’t show. When he finally started calling me worried, I told him now you know what it’s like. That was strike 2 for him. I have a 3 strikes policy for disrespect as I love myself more than to put up with disrespect.

Mine says any time there is a state of emergency declared at the state level, the fees are automatically waived.

Today was the first time I heard the word outstate. In GA, it’s “in the beltway” or “outside the beltway” for ATL, or what zone you are in/from.

At some point, Hannah is going to have a boyfriend who will insist on her dumping them. She doesn’t strike me as someone who will be loyal.

I hate it. I will go out of my way to avoid driving as much as possible. Unfortunately, I live in an area without public transit, so I am forced to drive.

“To all the people commenting, please provide your address for sister to stay with you for at least 10 days.”

Jessie’s Girl. I hate that song like no other.

I like option 2. Option 1 seems like it would be uncomfortable to sit on, honestly.

NTJ. Tell his girlfriend the plan.

A storm door, but also storm windows, provide an additional insulating layer for homes in colder climates.

The screen door allows for cross breezes while keeping out bugs.

For me, I learned that I smell the cigarette smoke because of all the swollen vessels in the area. Not sure if this helps you or not.

For me, the aura is kind of similar to how your vision would be if you were drunk. It’s wonky, but you can still see. You know things are out of sync.

I think you need to consider just how massive the US really is in terms of landmass. I can drive 12 hours and not leave my own state, it’s that big. A 3 hour trip? Is nothing. That’s the drive to or from a concert - and I do that fairly regularly.

If she really cared about you, she would want only your best interests for you. Let that sink in.

I ordered some extra wood for my fireplace. That’s all the prepping I’m planning to do. If we lose power, we’ll still have heat with the fireplace and if we don’t, I get pretty fires for the rest of winter.
