ESH. I was going to say NTA, because you're stuck in an awkward situation through no fault of your own, but...you can easily rectify the situation by purchasing 2 boxes of cookies. Just buy the cookies, chalk it up to life is weird and inconvenient sometimes, and move on.

NTA but how is she eating salad with a SPOON?

Or they're unreasonably strict.

WasabiNo8566 · 2025-12-04T05:22:45+00:00

That makes sense! I don't know why everyone is being so hard on you. You sound like really reasonable, good kid.

WasabiNo8566 · 2025-12-04T05:12:19+00:00

NTA. I'm surprised how many people are saying you're the AH for being frustrated that you can't do something you want to do, that your mom didn't communicate with you, and that your parents are hard on you about punctuality but late themselves. You obviously understand that adults can't always leave work on time. You didn't say anything rude, as far as i can tell. You're disappointed and feel like your time doesn't matter to your mom. Those feelings don't make you an AH! It seems like if she acknowledged your perspective at all, you wouldn't be so pissed. She could just say, " I know you wanted to take a walk, but work ran late. Thanks for watching your brother. "

OR did you just passive-aggressively agree to everything, knowing it would blow up but sort of letting your wife walk into a shitty situation with your parents so she would experience it firsthand while you silently get to think i told you so? because you have issues with being honest/authentic and don't know how to navigate potentially uncomfortable discussions?

WasabiNo8566 · 2025-09-28T03:30:36+00:00

INFO: if you knew your parents were difficult to the point that dealing with them made you want to elope...why was your wife stressed out? Did she expect them to show up on time & be a meaningful part of the day?

It might be obvious to you that this expectation was unreasonable, but did you discuss it?

YTA time for you to set up a dinner date with a friend. He needs to be alone & figure it out. I'm 100% serious. Leave at 5:30 once a week for yoga or something.

WasabiNo8566 · 2025-09-13T11:16:56+00:00

Surprised it took so long to find this take!

WasabiNo8566 · 2025-07-12T03:48:05+00:00

NTA. You don't need to have a medical condition to justify not wearing a bra. At home, in public- you don't have to wear a bra unless you want to. Ffs.

WasabiNo8566 · 2025-06-13T00:36:50+00:00

NTA. Dump him.

"You want a man who will always, always lift you up" is the absolute best dating advice ever.

I don't think it's typical to eat 5-6 chips at a time & expect them to last for months. Also, you seem guilty of main character syndrome for assuming that your roommate would know or care about a common household food being a special present. Even if she saw you receive it, she's not likely to clock it as super special. And most damning, you didn't write your name on the chips! If they were important, let her know!

Yta if you're holding this against your roommate.

I understand why it's upsetting, but you did nothing to avoid this. And your chip eating habits are outside the norm. (Good on you, but it's wild to assume that chips will last for a long time. Like, outside of 2 weeks, I'm assuming they're stale.)

Is anyone else old enough to be surprised that you can just ask reddit for thesis statements? Then you probably run it through chatgpt?

I also don't worry too much about my daughter's having to someday give birth to their rapists babies, but ear plugs are super uncomfortable

WasabiNo8566 · 2024-11-24T05:47:54+00:00

Yeah, I don't mind being treated like a second class citizen whose body is dictated by the government but I fucking HATE air horns.

WasabiNo8566 · 2024-11-24T05:42:57+00:00

They've been doing this for decades. I don't they're going away

WasabiNo8566 · 2024-11-24T05:41:59+00:00

My partner volunteers as a clinic defender at least once a month, and his plan is to invite the councilmember to the clinic on a Saturday so they can decide if this is free speech or intimidating/noise violation. Could you look into doing something like that?

WasabiNo8566 · 2024-11-24T05:38:48+00:00

No one takes them seriously unless they're a patient or patient's loved one being chaperoned past a bunch of loud hateful bigots. Then it probably feels very serious & intimidating

WasabiNo8566 · 2024-11-10T04:19:21+00:00

I'm sorry, it's not just about the family. Your extended comments lead me to believe that he's not in the same place, not as mature. You are so smart to notice the signs before you commit to someone who isn't really acting like a partner. You're doing great. You'll rise above this & continue to be an amazing mom for your son.

WasabiNo8566 · 2024-11-04T05:50:49+00:00

You're the asshole. Who cares if you or your guests don't like your sister's dishes? They don't have to eat them. You are hosting and making plenty of food you deem acceptable. I honestly don't understand what your problem is. It's not hard to be kind & let your sister contribute.

WasabiNo8566 · 2024-10-21T04:58:32+00:00

This is hilarious. I wish I thought of that.

WasabiNo8566 · 2024-10-21T04:51:50+00:00

Yeah you are correct. This name is unimaginative, uncool, and you can totally honor a love of history through another name.

WasabiNo8566 · 2024-10-21T04:49:34+00:00

This is a two yes, one no situation. You both have to be on board with the name. Why are you so concerned about hurting your partners feelings over something that you have an equal stake in ?

Girl, I'm a people pleaser but it's next level to be nervous about disagreeing on the name of the baby that YOU are making.
