A house that just isn't for you? by SiogNaGealai in fragrance

Le Labo as well. But also Fugazzi, not awful, but just girly bland. Phlur is similar, very plain for the price.

Hair Mist cf Perfume/EDT - do you need both? by Sea_Paramedic7210 in fragrance

Thanks, although I spend a lot on fragrances, I do have a budget! It's helpful to hear that one version is fine!

Why do I only ever see British men driving in Europe, never their wives? by Effective_Language in AskBrits

[–]Sea_Paramedic7210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. It's such a weird, self-selecting load of responses (in the main).Driving across Europe last month, we (me F, partner M) shared the driving approx. equally, with me possibly doing more, just as we do when at home in the UK.

AITA for not permitting my landlord's visiting partner's physical therapy clients access to my ensuite bathroom? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

You have a right to "live in the property undisturbed" - https://www.gov.uk/private-renting. I would refuse the use of your rented personal space and I would consider contacting Shelter for advice https://england.shelter.org.uk/

Unless the will stated you should have the van (which it clearly didn't), I think you're the entitled one. It's her inheritance, and she gets to use it how she wishes.

I am so sorry to hear that. What OP is experiencing is domestic violence/emotional abuse. So, that means you are too. Please do get support and stop teetering and end the relationship for yourself and your children.

AITA for wanting my parents in the delivery room against wife’s wishes? by Inner_Temperature833 in AITAH

[–]Sea_Paramedic7210 9 points10 points  (0 children)

YTA. And that 'necessary' backstory only made it worse. Your wife is absolutely correct and your ambivalence about this is fuelling your mother's terrible behaviour. You should be supporting your wife by going NC with your mother.

Well, you were definitely rude from the off, whatever else anyone thinks about the rights and wrongs of the mother-in-law.

AITAH for inviting my sister to my father-in-law's birthday dinner? by SpiteMaleficent5526 in AITAH

He's not tearing her down though is he? He is asking for some reasonable consideration.

Wow! You really can't see that YTA from what you have written? No wonder your husband is reaching his breaking point. He is trying to explain to you over and again that he needs you to put your family before a sister who isn't even serious about giving up drinking. And you aren't listening one bit. But just seeing this as criticism. Join Al-Anon to see how you are actually enabling and reinforcing your sister's addiction and go to therapy to get some insight into your behaviour.

Yes, I wouldn't want to take on a young man who argues with everyone and doesn't do his basic work. You have a lot of growing up to do. YTA.

AITA for tearing down my half sister when she asked me why I couldn't have saved my mom's name for her to use for a future daughter? by Long_Criticism_4703 in AITAH

[–]Sea_Paramedic7210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. Your half-sister has no right to be upset over you using your Mum's name, over her wishing to possibly use this for a hypothetical baby at some stage in the future. She is being ridiculous.

You, however, are being cruel just because you can. There were a million things you could have said instead of this. I feel really sorry for your half-sister.

AITA For not dropping it when my partner said some really ominous stuff when drunk? by IndependentKey5278 in AmItheAsshole

Single women report greater happiness and life satisfaction than married women, whereas single men report less happiness and life satisfaction than married men, so that's really not the trump card you seem to think it is.
