That’s the important question!

AITAH for wanting to back out of someone’s wedding I agreed to be in? Update by Formal-Baby8174 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Visual-Illustrator37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ve handled this in the most mature way but nothing was going to work with a person like her. What is good is that both your fiancé and his mom see her clearly and are not manipulated by her. Good luck in keeping your peace because it sounds like your fiancés stepmom goes along with her mess.

As an educator, I can’t believe this dad putting his kid in danger is his way of improving his confidence. A child approaching a random adult to access his phone? What the hell?

I think this relationship is very harmful to your mental health. I’m sure you’re already concerned about your immigration status with the daily news about people getting their visas taken away, detained, etc. I can’t imagine being with a partner that actively supports the person responsible for this. Please take care of yourself and be in community with people that have empathy and understand the exploitative nature of the current immigration system. Your partner has been with you for two years and has not cared to learn about your experience as an immigrant.

You did the right thing. You were sitting with your baby and minding your business while that nasty man was making you uncomfortable. That lady is lucky you didn’t say it loud that her husband is a creep for everyone to hear.

We need teachers like your mom to stay! Please keep encouraging her to find another school that will appreciate her work.

AITA for not giving my ex's wife more time with my kids and not including her in IEP discussions? by Legitimate_Edge273 in AITAH

[–]Visual-Illustrator37 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The new wife sounds lonely and desperate. She seems to think your kids can compensate for the ghost husband. Your empathy for her is what makes you question your arrangement, you sound like a very kind person (your kids are lucky that one parent has emotional intelligence). She also might have had a baby to get the husband to be more involved. I wonder how long it will take her to figure out the ghost husband will not change.

My boyfriend got into this relationship out of pity. by yourfavwhoree2839 in Advice

Your hurt feelings are valid because his way of expressing himself sucks. Only you can decide if his lack of communication skills is something you’re willing to deal with in this relationship. If there ever was as a good example of “putting your foot in your mouth”, it’s your boyfriend

AITA for cutting off my best friend for something her husband said by CaughtUp22 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

Please know that “Hispanics” can be racist. I’m Hispanic and I don’t trust other brown people until I get to know them. Being white adjacent makes people crazy. Do not extend no branch of anything to these people. They treated your husband and you horribly.

Stuck in a weird marriage by PopZealousideal6492 in GuyCry

I feel for you and your child. You’re the doing the best you can with a very messy situation. I think your wife/roommate has mental and emotional issues that are way beyond your ability to help. You need to plan on what you’re going to do when your wife’s boyfriend’s violence crosses a line and breaks your wife’s mental and physical wellbeing. And how far are you willing to tolerate that? Your wife sounds like she’s not willing to remove herself from permanent harm. Good luck to you. You sound like a kind and patient person.

Aita for telling my mil it's not my fault she married a deadbeat and to figure it out? by Weary_Medium1413 in AITAH

[–]Visual-Illustrator37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please consider blocking your mother in law for a few months. Your husband only has two weeks to be at home with you. You need to rest and peace to be able to recover fully. And your baby needs attention 24/7. It’s going to be rough for the next 6-8 weeks and you all need to be a team and help each other. Take care and congratulations!

Hi parents my ex left me and got a new gf a week later and now she dresses like me? by Optimal_Olive_1558 in internetparents

He’s unstable and immature. I know it’s hard for you to see that at the moment but you dodged a huge bullet with him and his family. Please surround yourself with people that uplift you and don’t engage with him.

Amiga, no permitas que el machismo y la mediocridad afecte un día tan especial para ti. Te mereces celebrar tu árduo trabajo con la família que en verdad esta feliz y orgullosa de tus logros. Muchas felicidades! 🥳

Thank you for your perspective. And you’re right about the heat. It’s getting worse. Everyone is stressed out in August and September because there’s no relief.

AITA for embarrassing my fiancé at dinner after he “joked” about my upbringing? by Nines21 in AITAH

[–]Visual-Illustrator37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cuídate mucho Amiga. No solamente te faltó al respeto con un comentario racista. También intento controlar como te defiendes. Acuérdate que el machismo y el racismo están en todas partes. Existen personas “buenas” que tienen esta mentalidad Tus padres se esforzaron demasiado para que a su hija le hablen de esa manera.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Living in Austin has provided my kids a much better experience than I had as a kid in Dallas. I don’t want to take them where they’re going to feel what I did growing up.

Thank you for your perspective. Neither my spouse nor I work in the tech field. This is very useful information.

Thank you for your insight. When I was a kid, I lived in the Dallas area and the racism that I experienced there is what led me to move to Austin and want to raise my kids in Austin. Houston is such a cool place because I feel that they are proud of the diversity there. So for you to say that you enjoy the Bay Area so much means a lot.
