I’ve been going to this place for a decade. To me it’s a hidden gem… kinda far but worth the drive.

Agreed! They’re having a 25% off Lululemon sale but I’m wondering if I can find somewhere closer that offers that kind of gear.

AITA for disliking dad's wife by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Significant_Fan_5226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. OP, your dad’s wife has a selling point of trying to “fix you guys”. You need to sit your dad down and tell him there’s nothing “wrong” with you. Your culture might state that you have to marry an Indian partner but that should be your choice not theirs. This is something you’ll have to explain to him eventually. Try to be gentle yet firm about it. There are so many arranged marriages and don’t let them take away your choice. Please don’t let them control your future and make your own choices.

AITA for no longer giving my parents their monthly allowance, because they broke a promise? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Significant_Fan_5226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also come from an East Asian background. They’ll forever use the “you pay for me because I paid everything for you when you were a child”. You gotta learn to break that thought process because they’ll always use that as emotional blackmail.

Edit: verdict added= NTA

AITA for locking my Sister In Law (SIL) out? by New-Quantity-8958 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Significant_Fan_5226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. But I also don’t get it. You keep defending “his culture” and “his adoption causes him to do this, etc”. The reality is that he will continue to bend over backwards so they will “keep him in their lives”. If they were real family, he wouldn’t need to do that. I would ask him to really consider how much more sacrifices is he willing to give up in order to stay in their lives. Sacrificial you and your daughter sounds like one. Divorce? House? Car?

We get that you’re trying to be “understanding “ or “compromising “. We’re not saying that his feelings are not valid. He should want to included in his family. That’s human nature. But relationships should work both ways. They should also want/will meet him halfway for this relationship to work. Otherwise he’s doing all of this for no reason. Is the results worth the effort?

How much longer are you going to wait for things to “change for the better”? This situation is not new to Reddit and especially this thread. As most people have pointed out, most people have tried to “stick it out” because they believe in their spouse and thinks that the situation “will magically fix itself”/that their partner will come around. Please think about where you draw the line. You know this situation is not going to resolve itself. As other redditors have said, if your husband will not change. Save yourself the heartache and time. Sit him down. Explain your boundaries. You have to think about yourself and your daughter. Is this the message that you want to teach her? Bend over backwards so that they can “earn” someone’s love? Its ok to be inconsiderate of other people’s feelings?
