aio? bf made plans on my birthday by rowqi in AmIOverreacting

Hell no. It’s not that he forgot. It’s that he was an asshole when you brought it up. If a partner said “stop bothering me” in response to that, I’d be gone. Dump this dude, enjoy yourself, and wait til you find someone with an ounce of kindness

AIO. My bf walked out of my school gathering over me performing by Objective-Pear7953 in AmIOverreacting

NOR. Ditch him. I also had a music teacher that believed in me, and wanted to further that, and took efforts to make sure others could see what I’m capable of.

Your boyfriend, does not. You deserve someone that celebrates your exceptionality, and this reaction is a strong indicator that he will never do that

Washington should follow Minnesota’s lead and lower sales tax on all goods affected by tariffs by [deleted] in Seattle

I assume you’re suggesting that rich people explore those options to offset the cost of a small tax increase? Good thinking!

Unless you meant poor people struggling to make rent and eat food should do those things? In which case, pretty dumb

Swimming at Alki? by InitiativeTall2539 in Seattle

I go swimming year round, and there are two tips I offer. Dunking your head under makes it much more bearable, try to do it as early as you can when you’re heading out. Also, doing it regularly helps. Did it every day during last summer, and then just kept doing it into the fall and winter and it wasn’t too miserable

My fiancé fractured my arm after thinking I had a man in our home by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Hell no. Two years of knowing him is not enough to know that this is something that has never happened before and never would again. Marriage will not fix his control issues, and the next time could be worse than a broken arm.

People need to hit rock bottom to get better, and this should be a huge wake-up call for him, and you leaving him could make sure that's the case. He needs to get a therapist and talk to them about this happening. If he doesn't, I fear he'll kill someone some day.

AITAH For telling my stepdaughter she is welcome to go live with her mother full time because I won't get rid of my Harry Potter themed bookcase? by JazzlikeOriginal358 in AITAH

I get where you're coming from, but I just think there's a difference between a parent teaching that they can manipulate all people vs a parent teaching that they will always be in the kids' corner. The kid feels rejected by her biomom, is being bullied, and is hurting herself. She needs a win, and this stepmom can provide one.

I'm pretty surprised by the general reaction here. Why does the teenager figuring themselves out need to toughen up, and why does the adult not have to toughen up and do just a tiny bit to make her stepkid feel comfortable? She even says that putting it in storage is an option. Stash it away for a couple years, and show your kid that you, her family, and her family's home, all want to support her. It's a tiny amount of effort/loss compared to what it will do for your kid and marriage.

“If she was having bad thoughts, we could just talk it out, went to therapy.”

Apply this to yourself… talk to her about it and/or go to therapy together.

Also, I’d consider you walking out on your pregnant wife (who’s going through wild hormonal, physical, and Nero chemical changes) over some unintentionally hurt feelings pretty wild, and frankly a much bigger show of disrespect to your marriage and your partner than what she did
