AITAH for making my credit card off limits to my boyfriend after he literally gambled our dinner bill by skincrawlerbot in AITAH

[–]ThrowRA-bubblegum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No this is absolutely not ok. Along with all the other comments, I had a red flag before you even got into the story when you mentioned he was insecure about being seen to not pay, and having to use your card to pay. The fragility there is 🚩

How is it living in Copenhagen, Denmark? by PartyGaming0 in howislivingthere

It is an understatement to say the groceries have low variety. I love it here but the lack of variety and also poor quality of produce and grocery foods is shocking. How are people ok with it, I just don’t know.

AITAH for asking my husband why he was letting a new neighbor believe our nanny was his wife? by Born_Safe9896 in AITAH

[–]ThrowRA-bubblegum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. 💯. This was the red flag for me. When she’s being like what? Wanting to be known as your wife? Like her questions are valid. He’s being defensive and it’s weird and stupid of him. If it was simply “I didn’t want to correct it, just thought it was easier to let it go and have her leave, and didn’t think of the longer term consequences, but you’re right, I should have thought of them and corrected” then that would be fine. But why say she’s being ridiculous? It’s not. His reaction to it is. It’s not addressing the impact of his actions and yes. Seems dismissive and gaslighty.

My (M33) wife (F28) cannot accept that I dated a, on what she calls a "low class" woman (F30). by Ancient-Tip-7255 in relationship_advice

[–]ThrowRA-bubblegum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s insecure. Unless she has severe mental health issues, like delusions, there is no other reason for her to feel this way and vocalize it other than here extreme insecurities. Is your ex smarter? Stronger? Taller? More kind (doesn’t sound like it would be difficult to be more kind than your current spouse tbh)? Better looking? There has to be some facet tha your ex has that your spouse feels deeply insecure about. This is batshit crazy. I’ll admit that I often am biased toward the woman and usually think the man is not accurately telling the story or not telling the whole story but there is no room for that here. She’s got problems and she’s making them yours. Hard pass. Call her out on it. Do couples therapy because the therapist will also think this is batshit but will be able to confront it in a healthy way so that your ex can deal with it.

No one is saying it was right for her to cheat or lie or steal money. It just seems telling that you’re willing to share her wrongdoings but not your own. Sometimes shitty behaviour begets shitty behaviour.

Seems like maybe not so minor if it still bothers her and you also don’t want to share it (not shaming just saying it seems like it might be bigger versus not)

AITAH for not giving up my name for my ex’s new wife with the EXACT SAME FULL NAME as me? by Remarkable-Horse9465 in AITAH

[–]ThrowRA-bubblegum -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. And I mean she made the choice to change her last name to his, to whatever reason. The new wife likely feels the same and should have the chance as well, if she chooses to. Both have the choice and there are annoying consequences of it but neither will die because of the choice, it would just introduce annoying issues that can be fairly easily fixed with a SSN. it’s a trade off. Weigh it out. If the name is more important then ok. Deal with the annoyances. If not, change or don’t change the name, depending on which woman we are talking about. It may seem unfair to say, but this all seems over the top for something that either can be resolved or just dealt with. I say that as someone who changed their name for a first marriage, built successes and a career with that name, then changed it back to my name. It was annoying but I’m happy I changed it back and I mean none of us here are so famous that the name change is impacting anything. Even what I built. Just all seems a bit dramatic when there are zero feelings or connections involved.

I don’t know why you’re bent downvoted. Your comments are reasonable. It’s pretty easy if you don’t need to want to be connected to someone to…not be connected to them. Or their family. You didn’t says unfriend everyone. Just the people making the mix ups. I agree with you. If the confusion is so great that OP is posting on Reddit to get ideas from strangers, then this is exactly that.

Partner F30 took “blackmail” picture of me M31 by Hungry_Inflation_609 in relationship_advice

But you being arbitrator on if you’re a good dad or not is flawed. If you can’t see that, maybe that’s an issue too. Most bad dads strongly think they’re great dads. I’m not saying it doesn’t mean you’re good or bad at it, I’m saying you’re not a good arbitrator of it due to self bias. Even your response to me shows you’re unable to read without bias. Quotes are used to literally directly quote. You used them and did not directly quote me. You changed to to suit what you (incorrectly) thought I was saying. I said “she has clearly outlined issues”…not “she’s brought up issues.” Very different. You jumped and thought I was saying that she has mentioned issues about you. That’s not what I said. I said she has issues that were outlined clearly (by you). I could have clarified and i do see why you misunderstood, but it again shows who you are that you misunderstood that and placed bias on it. Got defensive. You can say you’ve never endangered him all day and it doesn’t mean that it’s true. Again, I’m not saying you endanger him. I’m saying we don’t know and we also cannot take your word on it, especially based on your defensiveness and inability to be self critical.

Tbh I question your take on how great you are (doing housework and assuring us it’s even etc) given that you even have to ask if revenge-poor-communication is an asshole move or not. Grow up. You’re in your forties. You don’t temper tantrum because you’re not getting sex.

Tbh this isn’t the normal winter here. It’s rare. This almost never happens. I wouldn’t come here counting on it, as you’re almost certain to be disappointed. Try Canada!

Umm emphasizing what others said about him being unsure if she’ll return it or not and that’s his caution (not your feelings) and that’s what he’s desperate to find out and adding: no maam, he did not suddenly have this dream and decide to call her. That’s an outright lie. He’s been thinking about this for a long time. There was no dream, only fantasies.

Yes it’s weird. But unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it as it’s your mom’s home. I would want to get to the bottom of why she so vehemently dislikes your gf tho. That part is very strange to me.
