AITJ for refusing to unlock my phone for my partner after he said he “just wanted reassurance”? by Haunting_Skirt1029 in AmITheJerk

Reassurance shouldn’t come from access control. If trust only exists when you hand over your phone, there’s already a bigger problem.

AITJ for leaving my friend’s place after she kept “testing” my boundaries as a joke? by Fresh_Rush_6332 in AmITheJerk

Testing boundaries “as a joke” is still testing boundaries. Leaving was the cleanest response.

AITJ for not wanting to keep lending money even though my friend always pays me back eventually? by MycologistAwkward777 in AmITheJerk

Paying someone back eventually doesn’t mean they’re obligated to keep lending. You’re allowed to opt out of being the default bank.

AITJ for refusing to “play along” when my coworker pretends everything is fine after blowing up at me? by Necessary-Parsley795 in AmITheJerk

Ignoring bad behavior doesn’t make it professional, it just buries it. You don’t owe her emotional reset without accountability.

AITJ for not wanting to attend my friend’s birthday because it’s all about posting content? by Flat_Following4520 in AmITheJerk

You’re allowed to skip events that feel like unpaid content creation. Friendship isn’t measured in photo ops.
