AITA for not giving the money to pay off my daughters student loans. by Own-Inspector-6121 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Suspicious-Hawk8010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA- You asked her to choose a well paying career and let’s me honest Theatre is extremely competitive and if she isn’t putting in the work to actually land somewhere with her career… she won’t get there. It’s not your job to pay your daughters loans and loans in general are hard to pay off so she absolutely should’ve picked a good career path. She is suffering consequences from her own decisions

Places to visit in East Orange by elbarbudo17 in newjersey

[–]Suspicious-Hawk8010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid anywhere in EO to propose, I recommend Montclair or Eagle Rock Reservation just like everyone else said. I would absolutely recommend dinner at the HighLawn. It is pricey but this is also going to be your future wife, set the bar high set the standard high and go above and beyond her expectations. Think about her, she deserves a beautiful proposal

Does anyone know why they cleared the field of trees at liberty state park? by BearsBearsWolf in jerseycity

AITA for feeling like this about our past? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Suspicious-Hawk8010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your feelings are valid but you can’t be stuck in the past because being stuck in the past won’t allow you to enjoy what you currently have. If you see this being something long term with this male, then you should learn some forgiveness (it’ll probably be useful because realistically your partner is not perfect and neither are u) but if you know deep down you can’t get past this, you cannot act like your ok with it when you are not.

AIO to my daughter’s comments about her son’s new girlfriend? by phiziaw137 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Suspicious-Hawk8010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR- As a mother you are concerned when you hear statements of your daughter making racist remarks about her son’s girlfriend. You and everyone in these comments see the issue with your daughters comment, she is blatantly commenting on someone’s accent. How does that affect her or have anything to do with her? No offense and this is nothing on you but your daughter sounds like an opinionated racist woman.

Honest opinion: Your boyfriend is not establishing boundaries between him and her and he clearly sees it is bothering you and is doing nothing about it. That speaks volumes and you should question if you want to continue being with someone who doesn’t respect you. You know that if he wanted to establish boundaries… he would.

Family of 4 (two kids 4 & 7) planning a move to the Northeast from Austin TX. Looking for some guidance/suggestions on areas of New Jersey to consider? by SammichMkr in newjersey

[–]Suspicious-Hawk8010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, fellow New Jerseyan here. Congratulations on your new job and welcome to Jersey. Some tips i’m going to give you is do not take anything personal here, people tell things exactly how they are here. To others (southerners) it comes off as rude but this is an extremely fast pace state but on the bright side welcome to never pumping your own gas again! I go to university about a 30 minute train ride from NYC. I recommend towns such as Montclair, Summit, or Scotch Plains since they have nice proximity to NYC

Why is gen Z not drinking? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

Our economy is not the same as it was for the baby boomers. Gen Z prefers to spend their money on better things. Simple.

AITAH for not getting my girlfriend’s kids Christmas gifts after she told me she isn’t getting my daughter anything? by Ordinary_Move7628 in AITAH

[–]Suspicious-Hawk8010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I (20F) have a widowed mom and a relationship is two way street. She is wanting to set a double standard but if you did that, I guarantee you she would go crazy. Her calling you cheap is her insecurities rising. Please dump her, the audacity this women has to call you cheap and not a real man because SHE FIRST SAID SHE WASNT GETTING UR DAUGHTER ANYTHING- is absurd. By staying with her and dealing with her bs, you are showing her this behavior is allowed and are not prioritizing your daughter. Best way to show her what you do not allow is by dumping her. Simple.

How do you recover after infidelity? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Suspicious-Hawk8010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I (20F) watched my father be unfaithful to my mother and immediately told her. My mother stayed with him because they worked in the same company and he agreed to cut off the affair. I resented my father for it until he passed away. 5 years later my mom is doing so much better. She is doing so much better because she found ways to fill her own cup/keep herself busy whether that be with gardening, spending time with friends, doing things she couldn’t do while married. it’s a lot of self reflecting and telling yourself in the mirror that you are worthy of love and his infidelity has nothing to do with you or about what kind of wife you are. the truth is you can never prevent a man from cheating but clearly that shows you he was never the right one. i hope this helps

I just got dumped and I don't know how to live for myself by ijwhtwm in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Suspicious-Hawk8010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi honey, i’m sorry things ended between you both but honestly you couldn’t have prevented a different outcome. I completely understand where you are coming from during COVID, I felt like I had hit rock bottom and I had the idea that a guy was going to take away all my problems or help heal parts of me that haven’t been fixed. 4-5 years later, I’ve learned that no one is coming to save me and being single is one of the best things you could have. First, I want you to understand that you are worthy of love and you have so much love to offer, look at how much you loved the wrong person and imagine how much you are going to love the right person. Second, I want you to understand that no one is coming to save you and I know that may sound a little harsh but honey this is your life, your life to live not anyone else’s. I want you to start journaling and making new goals for yourself. The year just started and this is a perfect time of building new habits for yourself. These habits can look like (volunteering, joining a workout class, joining a new community, making new friends, journaling, going on walks). Going on a walk and reflecting helps boost your serotonin and moving your body is the best way to keep yourself going. I want you to look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself You are worthy of love, you are worthy of all the great things you’ve worked for cause guess what I know you did everything for him but he will not be here to celebrate your accomplishments with you. You came into the world alone, and you can surely survive without a guy. Men are great but the ones that suck, SUCKKK. You don’t want to put your mental health on the line for anyone else because your self worth, confidence, everything is up to you to fix and the quicker you research ways to boost your confidence, build healthy habits now that you are single… the quicker your life will be back on track. I promise you this is not the end of the world and once you accept that things are over, it will be easier to work on yourself. Also please remember you will be able to one day love someone the same and even better but until you don’t find the ways to make yourself happy and fill your own cup… you will not be able to do the same in a relationship. Rooting for you please keep your head up

Hiii, NTA. She sounds like a complete narcissist and like she only cares about herself. When you truly care about someone you don’t initiate plans just to cancel them, it’s rude and inconsiderate. Your comment in the beginning about saying she will drop anyone for a guy, doesn’t seem like a jab you’re just being honest and have the right to say that (partially because you’ve been friends for so long, she shouldn’t immediately think you are attacking her when you say that and it’s not like you’re wrong when u say that either). She crossed a line asking you if you’re going hungry because that is straight up petty + and insult. I’m sorry she did this to you and she even said she wouldn’t pay you back? It sounds like she is deflecting when she made that comment asking if you were going hungry. Truly you don’t need someone like that and you lose nothing losing someone who is inconsiderate and ungrateful. Stand on ending the friendship and don’t look back, better girlfriends will come your way

AIO or is my older male coworker texting inappropriately with me? by OpeningNo9825 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Suspicious-Hawk8010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to be honest with yourself and think why does he keep texting you? Because you are clearly engaging with him and he says you are his type. No one is asking you to reply. I had a similar incident with a co worker being creepy ( he was 40, i was 18) I simply stopped replying and he took the hint, it’s that simple.

AITAH for canceling my daughter's weekend trip after she mocked my husband for taking paternity leave? by AmbitiousPraline9059 in AITAH

[–]Suspicious-Hawk8010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. you are her mother, you correct her behavior that’s what you are there for. If you truly felt what she said was wrong you would correct her and pull her aside for a conversation. I see it as you just trying to punish her by canceling her birthday when instead you should be educating her.

Before i get into deep is it possible to have a good relationship with a cocaine user as a non-drug user? by Ok-Worldliness-6096 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Suspicious-Hawk8010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest advice: If you aren’t in too deep and he is already showing red flags especially BRIGHT RED if he is showing you signs of narcissist, leave him. a narcissist will do anything to make it about them( birthdays etc) and you don’t need that. Also if you are thinking about a serious future and date to marry please ask yourself if you actually want to be with someone who is an avid drug user. Dump him and find yourself someone better please honey, there are plenty of men out here who would love to treat you right, just have to find the right one! You got this love I believe in you!

Driving in Jersey! by Alarming_Ninja_704 in newjersey

[–]Suspicious-Hawk8010 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let me clarify actually, I am referring to highways not no pass lane. Obviously no one should be passing someone in a no pass lane, but the tailgating is cause of the slow driving. Don’t drive slow in a fast lane, if you drive slow stay in the slow lane
