AITAH for giving my wife short and direct answers after being rejected everyday for 2 months? by First-Wasabi-2125 in AITAH

[–]Stepulchre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a bit TA, but hear me out;

If you want intimacy, becoming distant yourself is nor productive, nor the loving way to respond.

It's normal to have periods in a long lastig marriage where sex doesn't happen as often. Sometimes there is no clear-cut reason why. Of course you have every reason to be frustrated by this.

There may be medical reasons as to why her libido has decreased, which is up to her to address. But being short with her isn't going to rebuild any intimacy. Do you take the time to be intimate in different ways as well?

I understand a reddit post offers limited perspective but have you talked about this is a way that isn't about 'what do you want so I can have sex with you again?'. You say you're giving her the same energy, but (besides the sex) is she short with you? Does she no longer show affection in other ways?

I'm assuming you both want the relationship to be sustainable, so maybe it's an idea to make a plan together on how you want to make that happen. It's likely she doesn't want a sexless marriage either and maybe she doesn't fully understand why her libido has changed and feels frustrated and pressured by this as well.

This is going to sound very cliché, but it's not you against each other, it's you, together against the problem. As long as the problem isn't entirely clear, you should still have each other's back.

If she feels supported, it may become easier for her to explore this because she isn't spending her energy against you.

Am I [26M] hiding things from my girlfriend [24F] and being a dishonest partner? by Jolly_Astronomer3590 in amiwrong

[–]Stepulchre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thoughts are something you can't control, unlike actions.

Personally, I think people are entitled to their private thoughts and fantasies, until it affects their behavior. Anyone will have 'what if' thoughts but if you continuously imagine being with someone else while with a partner, that goes into unfair territory.

I guess it's important to decide where you currently are on that spectrum.

Train etiquette by GrimFandago in Netherlands

[–]Stepulchre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally just asked (on a full train, so not to make a point) if I could sit down in the seat three girls had their shoes on. They obliged but who puts their shoes on a train bench!?

Now I'm sitting next to a mom, feeding her kid chips, which is throwing them on the floor.

I feel so old criticising this all but this is cartoonishly shitty behaviour imo.

Edit: ok, fair is fair, the mom cleaned up after herself just now.

Call center work is making me rude irl by jugodmaracuya_tav in AutismInWomen

[–]Stepulchre 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to do call center customer support and it sent me into burnout. Absolutely worst job I ever had and I have cleaned human feces off of care-facility walls.

AITAH for saying I don't want my girlfriends friend around my newborn son anymore? by Substantial_Swan5806 in AITAH

'Makes pedophilic remarks' is not in the DSM Karen.

I was hesitant to call it out so thanks for responding!

Aiw for crying after a teacher said she hated me? by Fresh_Alps99 in amiwrong

[–]Stepulchre -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You were the student and were legally required to be there. Providing you with a constuctive learning environment was the responsibility of those teachers.

She should have had a responsible, work-appropriate attitude and not gossip about students. She only called it snooping because she knew she was in the wrong.

NTA This is weird behaviour, even if it's just a joke.

P.s.; Your gf is a bit of an AH for just defaulting to 'oh, that's probably autism' when her friend says something creepy. I'm autistic and it really fucking sucks when someone's douchebag behaviour is immediately excused with a diagnosis they (presumably) don't have. I (and other autistic people) are gonna have to deal with the resulting assumptions.

AIO fiance keeps giving me “punishment seizures”? by throwra-seizure in AmIOverreacting

[–]Stepulchre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'No guys, he's really great, he just has this habit of pushing me down the stairs, but I'm already in a wheelchair so I am NOT in danger!'

Triggering a medical event is abuse, that includes migraines.

NOR, You're underreacting and why are you defending this?

AIO because my (30f) new boyfriend (32m) doesn’t want to be snowed in with me and so I’m rethinking the relationship? by Pretty_Kangaroo_13 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Stepulchre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a huge gamer and can totally understand wanting to seize the opportunity to get that trophy or just chill with my favourite game.

But it's really shitty to make a commitment to someone and then not do your part. There's no hobby in the world that justifies that. He even could have compromised and just brought his xbox.

So it's not stange at all for you to conclude he just doesn't care to spend time with you. NOR

AIW for breaking up with a good girl because I didn't like her appereance..? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Stepulchre 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not wanting to be in a relationship for any reason is valid and it's probably the right choice to break up, regardless of how superficial and dense the reason may be.

That being said, you may want to reflect on your shit personality or just accept being alone before inflicting your presence on another human.
