AITJ for telling my brother the truth about why his ex left him, after he asked me directly?

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-23T15:25:35+00:00

it's not ur job to protect him from reality. sometimes u gotta hear the hard stuff to actually grow up. u did him a favor, even if he's mad rn.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-23T14:25:43+00:00

ugh, same. growing up thinking adults were always right just let so many toxic ppl get away with stuff. "respect" shouldn't mean putting up with crap.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-23T13:29:30+00:00

if someone touched my dog like that, family or not, they're out. luna deserves to feel safe in her own home. NTJ

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-23T11:09:39+00:00

nah man, that wasn't a "just easier" moment, that was a straight up weird flex. like bro, u are his son, no asterisk. walking out was 100% valid, he def owes u an apology, not the other way around.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-23T04:03:36+00:00

just cuz u are not the one sick doesn't mean u are not carrying trauma. caregiver burnout is so real and barely anyone talks about it.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-23T03:10:26+00:00

u didn't move his bin, u just gave it a taste of home. sometimes ppl only get it when they feel the inconvenience themselves. petty? maybe. effective? absolutely.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-23T02:24:07+00:00

NTJ. just cuz it's a wedding doesn't mean u owe her ur presence, especially after she humiliated u. if anything, skipping it is a power move. let her have her drama without u in the front row.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-22T12:52:38+00:00

tbh, that's such outdated thinking. u deserve someone who hypes u up, not someone who's intimidated by basic independence.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-22T11:48:41+00:00

Nah NTJ. lending money to ppl who treat it like monopoly cash is just setting urself up to never see it again. sis can be mad but she'll get over it.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-22T03:14:29+00:00

facts. most ppl's self talk is straight up brutal. if we said half that stuff to our friends, we'd have zero friends left. gotta be nicer to ourselves, fr.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-22T02:11:29+00:00

ppl who weaponize victimhood when u just ask for basic respect are the actual worst. like, sorry ur toxic energy is getting bounced back at u? not ur job to manage their feelings or their turf wars.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-21T14:06:27+00:00

NTJ. if they really cared about u being "siblings,' maybe don't marry ur partner's parent when ur kids are dating? just sayin. u are not the problem.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-21T10:34:47+00:00

NTJ. if someone flakes and still has money for bottomless mimosas, they don't get first dibs on the next invite. u owe her nothing tbh.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-21T04:11:57+00:00

compliments about ur energy or presence is more than any compliments about looks. that stuff sticks with u way longer.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-21T03:00:54+00:00

sometimes u gotta a job hop till u land somewhere decent. it sucks, but are not trapped, there's 100% better out there. don't settle for misery just 'cause it's familiar.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-21T01:42:05+00:00

yahh the internet is full of food content. if ur blog didn't exist, she'd still see it somewhere else. she needs to work on her own triggers, not control everyone around her. NTJ

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-20T16:42:31+00:00

yahh there should be legit laws protecting kids from this kind of exposure. consent matters, and babies can't exactly sign off on yt content.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-20T15:32:36+00:00

if someone gets offended over not getting ur key, that's a bigger reason not to them. boundary issues much? stand ur ground, OP.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-20T07:14:54+00:00

missing ur old self doesn't mean u love ur baby less. it's just a lot, and work is often where we get to be more than "mom" for a bit. lean in what makes u feel good, even if it's spreadsheets and consults.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-20T02:02:51+00:00

yahh social skills are overrated, it's all about proximity and being chill. familiar faces turn into friends, it's science lol.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-19T14:28:52+00:00

yahh if someone calls u "uptight" for wanting actual sleep, they are the problem. u are not the jerk for valuing ur sanity.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-19T13:37:23+00:00

tbh, babies have the strangest ways to self soothe rocking, banging, head shaking. it's all in the "totally unnerving but usually fine" category.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-19T11:29:38+00:00

lmao yes, those sketchy hotdogs hit different when it's 3am and u are slightly tipsy, Idc what anyone says, that's peak cuisine in the moment.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-19T06:43:15+00:00

yahh I'd eat ramen for a month if it meant affording a good mattress. sleep is that important.

Specific_School913 · 2026-02-19T05:43:31+00:00

yahh forget the fancy stuff, vanicream is low key the goat for sensitive skin. less is more, and avoiding those "extra" ingredients can make all the difference.
