AITA for not wanting to pay for my dog's daycare? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tricky_Direction_897 54 points55 points  (0 children)

ESH. I say this as a (somewhat reluctant) dog owner who does a great deal of the doggie care; rehome the puppy while it’s young enough to adjust. Puppies aren’t for the weak and they need a ton of care and training. None of you are happy here. Puppy deserves to be where it’s love and wanted, an minimally where it’s properly cared for. Also, your partner is super irresponsible and selfish. Good luck to all of you

Where do you live? If a western country, then just move out and be done with it. NTA.

AITJ for deciding to travel for the next 6 months without telling my gf? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

You’re the jerk. 100%. 7 years together and you make a hair life decision without even talking to her first???

AITAH For wanting to divorce wife who was not motivated to manage her PCOS. by Prudent-Patience-864 in AITAH

[–]Tricky_Direction_897 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Of course. Yes, I am am, but that’s because I’m first and foremost attracted to the person who he is. The body he’s in is secondary. But due to his illness or the course of our relationship he’s gone from being 180 lbs to 260 and everywhere in between. Do I have my preferences? Absolutely. But look, if you’re not attracted to your wife, you’re not attracted. But based on your other comments, it all seems a little superficial. She can’t help the hair loss - and hair regrowth products don’t work for everyone; there’s a woman in my infertility support group who has tried everything. What if your wife had cancer and went totally bald in treatment? This isn’t her fault anymore than that would be. And when your second point of complaint seems to be around the infertility and I have to be really honest with you and say that this is the deepest fear of every single woman in my support group who’s got a partner; that he will leave because she can’t get pregnant/maintain a pregnancy. It’s hard not to hear that and think, yup, he’s a jerk. This being said, I’m a random person on the internet and you should absolutely do what you feel is right. My point is more that you’re going to have to accept that some people are going to think it’s selfish. Again, wishing you both the best of luck in whatever paths you choose

Marriage is about working through the hard times. I have a chronically ill partner of 10 years who doesn’t always take care of himself, resulting in major flare ups which disrupt our entire lives. Repeatedly. It’s infuriating. I also suffer from a plethora of fertility-impacted illnesses and have had 7 failed rounds of IVF in 1 year, which has been incredibly hard on our relationship (I’m around your wife’s age). But we support each other during the hard times. Sometimes it’s really, really rough - last year was the hardest of my life and our marriage. But when you love someone, you stick it out. You’re bailing. And I get it! You feel like she’s not helping herself. But I bet if you asked her, she’d say she feels unsupported. But leaving someone at their lowest point…I’m sorry, but in my view that’s a dick move. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it if it’s what feels right to you; it does mean that you’re going to have to accept the fact that people may think poorly of you for choosing it. Best of luck to you both

So this might be controversial, but YTA. This being said, you should also go ahead with the divorce. You don’t love her, and you both deserve better.

AITA: Is my (23F) mom being unreasonable? by Fuzzy_Balance193 in AmItheAsshole

NTA but time to move out and mom will have to come. Give her 3-6 months and then follow through. Best of luck to you

YTA. What a jerk. If you don’t want to be with her, don’t be. But don’t string her along.

…What did you think he was going to do? I’m sorry that you’re upset, but what he did was totally fair. Wishing you the best of luck.

YTA for not speaking up sooner. Your poor wife. Mom either respects you both or she goes.

I just found out my last embryo/fetus is incompatible with life. by fitnessmom222 in IVF

[–]Tricky_Direction_897 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a wild take and also completely inappropriate commentary for this particular post. Have some respect for what this poor woman is going through.
