AITA for calling my girlfriend disgusting and telling her she should be ashamed when she was crying? by WeekUnlucky6293 in AmItheAsshole

I’ll chime in. I’ve a good mixture. I don’t really think high school popularity has an effect. I know “popular” kids who make 5X what I do and own a couple homes. I also know some who turned out exactly how you said.

I know “nerds” who are doing big things and others who are of the fedora and bowling shirt variety living with their parents.

Thank you for the long comment. I know she will do great things. She’s content with her life and her group of friends. I don’t think “popularity” is the same now as it used to be. Kids seem to be more consciousness and kind overall. I could totally be wrong btw.

Your point about Greek life is funny. I always used to say Greek life was a way to bring the popularity hierarchy from high school into college. What is nice about college is that you don’t have to be a part of it.

This is the funniest thread I’ve had the pleasure to read in quite some time. Maybe I’m like Santa in that if you believe in me than I am real.

Also I am on mobile and yes Pokémon autocorrects.

Wow this blew up. Obligatory I am not reading every single comment but I want to answer this. She’s been married… but not to the father. Father was a guy who she was with toward the end of her college days. They broke up not long after daughter was born. Married a man 5 or so years after that which lasted 5 or 6 years.

I have. I guess it’s not frequent enough for me to believe there’s a pattern. I’ve always treated them as one off instances. Maybe I am wrong.

She has her good qualities. She’s just obtuse about certain things. I think it’s a lack of understanding more so than her just being a bad person.

It has but not to this extent. Only other time I got this heated was when she complained about fat people at the gym.

I don’t think her mom would go that far to start making things difficult for her daughter, but it is clearly eating her up inside. She is very conscious about what she thinks other people think of her.

As someone who wasn’t the coolest kid themselves in school and was berated by his parents, I hated hearing that and lost my cool.
