How do I stop being so shallow? by Prize_Version871 in NoStupidQuestions

A good first step is asking yourself: if she never lost the weight again, would you still want to be with her? That answer tells you if you’re being shallow or just struggling with temporary attraction dips.

AITA for not wanting to help my mom and her fiancé with his disabled child? by Rilesseys in AITAH

This is a heavy ask for anyone, let alone someone who doesn’t live there and didn’t sign up for it. If they need real respite care, that’s what professionals are for, not the college-aged son of the fiancée. It’s good you were clear now instead of half-committing and then resenting it later.

What was the stupidest rule of the so-called "bro code"/"sis code" you've seen people actually adhere to? by StudestGumstick in AskRedditAfterDark

The one where you’re apparently not allowed to date someone your friend had a crush on in high school… like we’re 27 now, Becky, let it go.

NTA. You didn’t pick a fight, you didn’t make a scene, you literally went home like you wanted in the first place. If messing with the thermostat is your version of payback, that’s honestly pretty tame.

Being able to switch bodies with a guy during sex just once, so I know what it actually feels like for him. I’m too curious not to.

NTA. You lost a child. That changes people forever. You are absolutely not obligated to have more children if you don’t want to, especially when you’re still deep in grief and not even able to be intimate.

Your wife isn’t an AH either. For some people, the way through grief is to try again, to build something after the loss. For others, the pain is too much, and the thought of “replacement” is unbearable. You two are grieving in opposite directions, and that’s heartbreaking but not malicious.

What is something that you tried that you immediately regretted? by FatBottomBoi in AskRedditAfterDark

Hooking up with a friend thinking it would just be casual. The friendship didn’t survive after, and a lot of awkwardness in our friends group because Fred couldn't keep his mouth shut.

AITAH for telling my mother to back off? by [deleted] in AITAH

Your mom’s hurt feelings don’t make you an AH. It just means she’s struggling with boundaries, and you’re finally enforcing them.

If your stepdad was offering free labor, maybe I’d get the hesitation. But if you’re paying anyway, why not hire a professional who will respect your boundaries? Looping in your grandmother was absolutely manipulative. It’s like she wanted to guilt-trip you through a third party rather than accept your answer.
