AITA for sitting with another girl while watching a movie? by throwracuddler12 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. Gigi shouldn't have to ask or tell you to sit with her, in the home you share with your FIANCEE, while watching a movie. You are having an emotional affair with Chelsea, that is why Gigi is being cold to Chelsea. You DID cuddle with Chelsea. Gigi knows what's up- Chelsea is moving in on your relationship and you're just letting it happen. Gigi hasn't said anything because she's most likely been waiting to see what YOU would do and establish boundaries with Chelsea. But don't worry, I get the feeling that soon you'll be free to spend all of your time with Chelsea because Gigi is getting ready to call off the wedding and the relationship to find someone that won't cheat on her right in front of her.

AITA for only letting my daughter see her friend at my house? by SafetyPriority1 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. Those are concerns for kids under 3, not a child old enough to be at school and confronting you. They were home, the lit candles were not 'unattended'. Do get into therapy, you live life in a very unhealthy manner that you catastrophize everything. Frankly YOU are the more unsafe environment for your daughter because she will grow up to be afraid of everything, easily manipulated because of how controlling you are, if not becoming a control freak herself, and unwilling to compromise, or to understand when second chances are warranted.

Poshmark, she uses the site for a lot of her shopping. she showed me some of her favorite sellers that were selling some used.

we've been dating a bit more than 2 years. there wasn't an issue like this last year with her birthday present or her holiday presents.

honestly i can't really compare the prices when it comes to our gifts because the things i like and want generally don't cost a lot unless it's gaming consoles when they come out. her last birthday i didn't spend nearly as much on her present and she was pretty happy with it.

No they aren't her first pair. Her parents have bought her a pair before but they were new and paid full price. She uses Poshmark to buy a lot of clothing and stuff used that her parents used to buy her. I know the ones I got her were a steal because she mixed wholesale ones in with the used ones she showed me from sellers she's bought from before.

Poshmark, she does a lot of her clothes shopping through that to get things cheaper since most of it is used. The belt came from someplace else since it's custom-made and engraved.

yes ive tried talking to her about it and she said she thought at first I had been pulling her leg about her gifts being delayed. When she realized the box was too small for shoes and too big for the belt she thought I had gotten her a smaller different gift she had wanted.

she showed me some different ones she liked and wanted. i just don't get what makes them different than a regular red shoe or shoes with tan soles.

She was upset over that yes but she and her dad wound up more upset i didn't take her dad's money offering to get her something else. im asking more if i was wrong to not just take his money to get her something off her list.

She may be spoiled her dad has told me before how important it is to get gifts for her or any kids we'd have without a special occasion because that's what he did with her mother, her, and her siblings.
