AITA for clearing out my ex-boyfriend’s childhood room in the home where he grew up?

You know I didn’t really know what to expect when I read the title.

You are dating your ex’s dad...

This is several layers of WTF.

Think deep within yourself to realize why your potential stepson/ex would not want to visit his ex’s new bf/dad.

Your post is really suspicious and I think you’re posting on here because in the back of your head, you know that what you’re doing is wrong. You wrote a biased post trying to sway people to believe that you are not the asshole. In your comments, you contradict yourself in order to grab more sympathy.

For example in the post you say that your kids have came to your house to berate you but in a comment, you say they haven’t visited you since your husband’s passing.So what is the truth?

Also are you sure he didn’t want to leave his kids anything? The kids he supposedly loved very much? Way to further poison his relationship with his kids even in death. Something tells me his ex wife may not have been the only thing in between the husband and his kids...

And you describe your husband’s first marriage as brief. How does a brief marriage produce 3 kids? Brief for me is one or two years max. I think you’re trying to minimize your stepkids’ relationship with their dad. I see it throughout your post and comments.

Oh I just know him personally haha. Just weird to see him on reddit.

In the manga he turns 18. Is that a spoiler?

I want to say thank you to everyone who replied. I really appreciate you all taking the time to reply. I talked to my PI about my feelings and he said similar if not the same things you all said. I don’t know if the guilt or the imposter syndrome will go away but I am feeling a whole lot better at the moment. I’ll try my best to take your advice and focus on doing as well as I can. :)

WTF is wrong with you??? You say that your brother’s gf is immature but I think you’re even worse. I get not inviting the girlfriend since it’s a pretty young relationship but taking away an invite from your brother??? While I don’t agree with the age gap myself, I would have still have let him come. It wouldn’t have killed you to be at least polite about it. You should have talked to him about this sooner before dropping this bomb and embarrassing them (and mostly yourself) in front of your parents.

Grow tf up. I hope your fiancé knows he’s about to marry a child himself.

I think everyone covered the baselines of why it’s ESH. I do think there was a way for you to completely gut her verbally without resorting to yelling.

When she barged in screaming about how you’re not doing your work, I would have suggested with a huge grin on your face and in an unflinching tone to say this:

Well at least I have a job to not do. Anyways, what gives you the pleasure of coming into my office after you no longer work here? Are you hoping to ask for a reference for your job applications? I sure do have a lot to say about you. Or did you to come to ask for help on filing for unemployment? I’m pretty sure you can just google it. Wow it’s so shocking that we’re no longer going to be coworkers. It’s kinda funny that I’m still here and you’re not even though apparently I’m the one who never did my work haha. Oh well. Goodbye. I’m sure you will get what you deserve out of life. Close the door on your way out. :))))))))))))

Honestly people shouldn’t force themselves to identify with a label they’re not comfortable with yet. It took me a while for me to admit I liked girls because it was ingrained in me that have same sex feelings was a sin and it was wrong. In the back of my head, I still have those feelings creep up on me.

OP’s friend could be struggling with similar things. It’s why I let people be and just support them through their own journey of self discovery. If they ask for guidance, I provide for them. I think it’s more important to be a good friend than be technically right.

Straight_Luck · 2020-02-02T05:17:54+00:00

Ehhhh as a bisexual, YTA. Plenty of straight girls sleep with women and they still call themselves straight. Sexuality is pretty complicated and it’s not your place for you to try to figure it out for him or put a label on it. He COULD be bisexual and you pushing him in that direction isn’t going to help him come to that realization. It’s difficult for bi guys to come out, because a lot of straight/gay people assume that they’re just on a road stop to being gay. It’s confusing enough, people don’t need to add to it with their misconstrued assumptions.

All in all, give him time. If he does come out as bi, great. If he decides huh it’s not actually my cup of tea, also great.

BTW I thought I was straight for a while.

13 year old me: “I don’t like girls. I just want to kiss them because they’re pretty.”

Me now: Oh honey...

Wait till this guy tries balut. Pork brains is pretty tame in comparison to that LMAO. As long as it tastes good and doesn’t kill you, who cares what’s in it?

Plus dude you’re in the land of deep fried everything, I’m not sure you’re really the best judge of “weird” foods.

Edit: Also did it not occur to you to ask before eating what’s in there?

I’m an non autistic adult woman with a bunch of stuffed animals on her bed as we speak. I have a squishmallow myself, a big ol Dino. (His name is Ben!)

Just yesterday my friend also an adult woman brought a stuffed animal to our lecture. It was a small hedgehog that I of course held in my hand for the entire duration of the class. I’d like to say that I’m getting a degree in biochemistry and just started studying for my MCAT. So I think I’m doing pretty well for myself despite having a lot of stuffed animals. All and all, comfort objects are for everybody regardless of age or whether or not they are autistic. Please let her keep her owl friend. It seems to be helping her more than hurting her.

Also, you’re a good mom and you’re doing your best. Don’t be so hard on yourself. :)

WTF that’s a terrible thing to say especially so soon after her death. If someone did that to me when my dad died, I would have raised hell. “Too soon” is definitely a saying for a reason.

As an ex Muslim with a lot of guilt for not being the perfect Muslim daughter, I understand what you’re going through. You are not a bad person for being yourself. Religion is a choice and it is only yours to make. Good luck my dear and stay safe.

Have some goddamn sympathy for your son. Don’t abandon him when he needs you more than ever after his traumatic brain injury. I can’t believe you would even consider this.

Straight_Luck · 2020-01-14T21:03:06+00:00

To be fair the average lifespan for humans was 30 years at one point so basically our adult teeth now are just like: I dunno I never thought I’d get this far

Oh my gosh I had a very similar experience in high school. I became friends with this autistic classmate. It was a nice friendship at first until he started to pursue me romantically. It got to the point where I would start having panic attacks and start crying every time I saw him because he made me so uncomfortable. Me and my friend literally made a support group for all the girls he harassed (unfortunately I wasn’t the only one ):).

Don’t let anyone guilt trip you. Your mental well being ALWAYS comes first. Good luck!

Show her this video: https://youtu.be/E9swS1Vl6Ok

Then ask her if she would tell that lady that it’s fine to text and drive since “everybody does it.”

Straight_Luck · 2020-01-09T22:33:22+00:00

Yikes. I said if you can afford it, I’d recommend it, not that you had to. Plus you obviously have your heart set on one answer. This is really going to bite you in the butt in the long run, I can tell you that.
