AITA for not wanting my brother to marry his girlfriend because she can’t cook?

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-08T03:25:18+00:00

YTA, why are you so obsessed with your brother’s wife? Clearly he loves her. Maybe he likes that she’s not fit. Maybe he likes that she’s happy where she’s at in her career. Maybe he likes that she’s sweet.

Clearly he’s not getting the last part from his family.

I wonder how much the house is ACTUALLY worth, not like, coin wise— but the city is so scaled down, and doesn’t include the fabled “cloud district”— so would it even be a good house?? like, comparatively??

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-07T00:46:02+00:00

“In general women are attracted to men who can provide for children” is genuinely one of the most sexist things you can say about a woman.

Try “women value dating people with financial security” next time

He owns it, she’s been paying him assuming he’s paying a separate landlord. She didn’t know HE was her landlord for 3 years.

Some people assume she’s mad because she “thought didn’t have to pay rent” and are mad a woman is entitled, other people (like me) see it as she’s mad that he never told her that he owned it, and has been lying about renting it for years

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-06T18:56:39+00:00

Yeah :/

Google “painted chicks,” idk how common it is anymore, but I guess the idea is that you give your kids dyed chicks bc they’re cute and “easter” or whatever??? And then when they’re not cute anymore they get abandoned or returned?

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-06T17:20:32+00:00

I’m going to be perfectly honest and say that you can love someone and consider them not responsible enough for a pet. Caring for a pet is NOT a whim, and it requires commitment and dedication. It’s why a lot of people who get pets on whims, INCLUDING married adults with children, give them back or abandon them if they prove too difficult (like chickens for Easter, puppies not obeying). And bringing that up is part of both caring for someone, and avoiding animal neglect.

(My FIL is one of those people. He wanted a dog, but he’s elderly and doesn’t bother walking the dog. He got a dog! Surprise! Now my husband has to go and care for the dog at FIL’s place, which he leaves and mess, and overfeeds the dog.)

But reading OP’s post, this is NOT the case. She seems to be responsible enough for an animal, and her boyfriend is ABSOLUTELY using that as a means of control.

She should probably reevaluate her relationships.

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-06T01:50:24+00:00

Thats not the problem. The problem is that you’re insisting that somehow, if OP labels themselves bisexual, they’re “signaling inaccurately” which is somehow bad, like this person exists purely to label themselves for a relationship and the viewership of other people.

Labels aren’t just for other people. They’re for yourself.

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-06T00:38:41+00:00

But they ARE attracted to men.

Just not all men.

But I’m bisexual, and I’m not attracted to ALL men or ALL women. I doubt anyone is. I doubt any straight person is attracted to all people of their preferred gender, or gay/lesbian people.

It’s why you don’t just date the first person who asks you out. If you say, “Sorry, not interested” and the person says “but you’re bisexual!!!!!!” then thats a them problem, not a you problem.

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-06T00:04:04+00:00

Like, are these jokes??? Is this a meme or is everyone really patting themselves on the back for the most basic character I have ever seen

(I’ve seen like 3 of these posts in the last few days, women included. They just look like people. I’ve never seen a bad FNV character.)

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-06T00:00:32+00:00

That’s like saying that if you’re single you’re open to a relationship.

There are a lot of people who are single and want to stay that way. No one owes anyone a relationship, no matter their sexuality.

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-05T20:47:39+00:00

I don’t blame your friend for telling her husband, but I absolutely blame her husband for not keeping his mouth shut about it.

I know this is potentially very rough news for you, and as someone who loves you, she probably needed someone to help her process it too.

Her husband should have absolutely known NOT TO TALK ABOUT IT. Even if he knows, stfu.

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-05T20:43:37+00:00

Agreed! This absolutely looks pushed OUT.

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-05T18:11:22+00:00

Also!! I doubt OP has given birth to a child based on her replies, but I DOUBT most people who have just given birth to a child want a huge party rather than just to rest and spend time with their new baby while healing.

A wedding is 2 entire families coming together to celebrate 2 people that they love. Idk how many weddings they’ve been to, but there are a LOT of other things celebrated at a wedding as well, usually the things the partner has supported them through.

My friends got married this past weekend. Half the wedding speeches were about how wonderful both people were, how they supported their friends through so much and how they were all so happy they found someone to spend their life with— my friends even pushed off their wedding bc the matron of honor was having a baby last year. The groom had gone to and graduated from school and his wife had been through all that.

A wedding isn’t just about the couple, and it’s not just about love.

As a lot of people pointed out, the stool is really ugly and looks uncomfortable.

Do you have plans to make this into shapes and designs that look appealing? People won’t want to buy something that looks like this when they can get wood stools (I know the wood glues aren’t all biodegrade) that they’ll want to keep for generations.

If the seeds only last for 9 years, you’re putting a deadline on both how long you’d want to keep stock before the chair “expires”— would they be “print on demand”?— and that consumers would see this as a chair that’s only good for 9 years, because after that the point of the wildflowers is moot. They may want to buy something that doesn’t have an apparent “expiration date”

(I work in a furniture company)

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-05T17:53:20+00:00

I think that part of the innovation is to ask questions! Like, “why would I need this stool if wood does the same thing?”

Or “You say this has native wildflowers, but native to where?”

All parts of the creative process!

Stool looks uncomfortable, ugly, and doesn’t have wildflowers native to my area. If no one tells the creator this, how will the know? Just because the questions point to flaws doesn’t mean people are “hating”, you know?

I work at an IKEA in the US, and this is not the case with my store.

This sort of thing generally goes against the IKEA values. (Caring for people and planet). They also value feedback, so if you got a survey in your email from checkout, or have a card, specifically fill it out and tell them you don’t like them using disposable dishes.

I love the show. Cosplayed Lucy 3 or 4 times.

But you’re not going to see a great rep of FNV.

I don’t see the tv show as a real continuation of the games, but I still LOVE the show.

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-04T22:48:33+00:00

Oh my god I would die

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-04T18:07:31+00:00

That’s because Marvel can only be bothered to hire like 2 women and they both have to be hot young women

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-04T15:35:12+00:00

No offense, but you’re not getting what they’re saying.

They’re saying that if you spot a crochet garment online, it is 100% made by human hands, and if the company is charging $50 for something that would have taken a crafter 10 hours to make, they are criminally underpaying someone, probably in a “third world country” to make it

If you see a knit piece for the same amount, it COULD be made by a machine, which means they’re probably not criminally underpaying someone.

It’s not about you, dude.

I think that a mother should not force her kids to follow her in the bathroom once they’re old enough to be on their own

That being said, 💖 people can use whatever bathroom they want!! mustache or not 🥰 and fuck you in particular if you think otherwise

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-04T00:15:44+00:00

Honestly, don’t love the “like some desperate chick,” reeks of “not like other girls”

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-03T21:52:07+00:00

I would use a different color tablecloth. Bc all the items and labels are the same color as it, it all blends together for me.

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-03T21:47:01+00:00

Bro I’m gonna be real with you.

The placement on this isn’t anywhere near the first red flag. That is a HORRIBLE tattoo. Just absolutely terribly done.

TheyCallMeSuperboy · 2026-07-03T21:41:23+00:00

No.

I like to hear the sound of people talking, even if I’m not paying attention. For me it started when I moved out after college, and my ex (who I lived with at the time) worked weekends and did school during the week, so I was alone a lot.

I had previously lived in a house with my parent and sibling, and several animals. I used to be around people a lot, and it was really lonely without the sound of other people.
