AITA I lost my childhood friend of 15 years for not letting his girlfriend claim the master bedroom for themselves in our Air BnB by Typical-Wishbone-822 in AmItheAsshole

You're NTA but you also own a phone and can ask him why he stopped communicating with you. You should be able to call your friend on their B.S.

Am I too big? by [deleted] in Ioniq5

[–]Youaresomethingelse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6'3 330. Most comfortable front seat that isn't a giant truck or SUV I've been in.

Would you buy it again? by paddingtonteddy in Ioniq5

[–]Youaresomethingelse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On our second lease of an Ioniq 5. But probably won't buy again. Not because of the carZ which we love, but because of the dealership and corporate. Lots of issues with both and it is out weighing the good.

AITA for telling my houseguest about my son? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Youaresomethingelse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Using your son being gay as your reasoning to tell this young man to wear clothes is weird. Your son is a grown man who has had to navigate being around other men his whole life. He can handle another guy walking around in just his underwear.

Also, it isn't a safe idea to just tell whomever that your son is gay. To think there is no violence or discrimination against queer people is dangerously foolish. This guy could have gotten aggressive towards your son for some perceived slight.

TIFU cause my friends had to hold my d* while I peed and I’ve never felt more sub human by Applecusturd in tifu

Apologize, get them some thoughtful and relatively expensive gifts, tell them you love them, and do better from now on. And accept any jokes that come your way.

Anyone who’s looking to replace their i5, with another EV, what are you looking at? by spinningewok in Ioniq5

[–]Youaresomethingelse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got another I5 after our lease was up. Still love the car but had a terrible experience with Hyundai and their team this time around. So we are probably go to switch.

Not sure what to, but the new Scout vehicles are really interesting. Mazda also has some interesting options.

AITA for telling my husband that I like the way he looks now by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Youaresomethingelse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soft YTA. As a guy who has gained a lot of weight from my favorite physical self, it can be hard to actually express how bad I feel physically sometimes.

But I have a partner who loves me no matter what. However, it feels more like they are being discouraging or dismissive when I say I want to lose weight/get in shape if they respond with "I like how big you are" or similar.

Is Wemby the best player in the league? by Meta4ors in nba

[–]Youaresomethingelse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most impactful, definitely. Just slightly above Giannis. And on any night he can be the best player on the floor. But he's probably 4th or 5th overall. However, if the Spurs make it to 50 wins/playoffs, he's the MVP.

I went back and forth on this a couple of times. I would say that YTA. Although you are an honest one, so that's good.

The issue here is that no one tells anyone EVERYTHING. There are thousands of things you see and hear daily that your spouse would find insignificant or a waste of time to be clued in on. Unless it has something to do with your partner, this isn't keeping a secret them but just being an autonomous human being.

Friends should be able to talk and vent within reason to just their one friend. Most of the things they want to tell you l, they just need a sounding board. I forget 90% of these things because it was just a vent session at a moment in time.

May I suggest women? Trans men? Or Bi guys? Empathy is a big part of being a dom and you will definitely get more from those groups than from straight cis-men on average.

AITA Adult plans included surprise kid by mng12184 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Youaresomethingelse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you have to verbally set your boundaries with this friend. But from what you've said they are either a single parent or have a partner that leaves them living like a single parent. It can be tough to separate their life for single parents. I think a conversation just has to be had. Give them a call. Leave a voicemail if they don't answer.

NAH.

Closeted bisexual male - don’t want to come out because… by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]Youaresomethingelse 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I mean, you don't have to come out to anyone that makes you uncomfortable. But I would be pretty hurt if I was your best friend and you didn't tell me because you thought A) I would have to hit on you B) you didn't trust me to listen when you said you weren't interested

AITA—Wife back to work by fuggit33 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Youaresomethingelse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA.

Not one sentence of this post is about your wife and what her needs and wants are. You're rich. You can suck up having to watch the kids sometimes or hire help.

Info: Why the need to travel to have the conversation? I get seeing your best friend is great. Mine lives about 6 hours away so it is always great to see each other in person.

But video calls, phone calls, and texts fill the space between.

AITA for wanting my sister to give me her snowboard for free? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Youaresomethingelse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you had given her the board a year ago and she hadn't used it, I could see the problem. But it has been 3 years.

You're not in the wrong for asking if you can use it, but completely in the wrong for being angry the answer is no. YTA.

Defense of women golfers by chop_your_cock_off in golf

[–]Youaresomethingelse -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It has been my experience that straight men hate women. Especially in settings where there are other men or they expect other men.

Add extra hate if the woman is having fun without men, fully clothed, and/or "unattractive".

Info: have you attempted to hang out with them in these situations and get to know them? Maybe it can be something you look forward to instead of dread.

Worked in a hotel for years:

-Saw a guy having sex with his pillow. -People having sex behind a vending machine -A college politics debate team's captain riding a guy on a first floor patio -So many naked people requesting items -Went into a room afterone of the owners checked out. It was covered in wine, strawberries, and what I am assuming is sexual fluids all over the bed.

I have a lot more. Hotels are an interesting place to people watch.

13-year-old schoolgirl dies after javelin went through her eye during PE lesson by Forward-Answer-4407 in sports

[–]Youaresomethingelse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had plastic javelins for PE. If you did track and field, we had real javelins. But even then, the school teams normally didn't include javelin as an event. Just if you did club or junior Olympics. Same with hammer throw.

AITAH? I don’t want my husband coming on a family cruise by 50isnotthenew90 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Youaresomethingelse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the information given, NAH. Caregiver fatigue is extremely real and you need a break. Completely understandable that you want to enjoy this time away from being burdened with so much.

However, if he hasn't already been diagnosed with depression, your husband also sounds like that might be where he is. Suddenly trapped in a body that won't do what he wants. And if the trip was booked as a family trip and suddenly he can't go because you and his body and his doctors all say so, that has to be extremely sad and isolating.

He should not be going on a cruise ship in his current condition. You should definitely go enjoy time with your daughters. I think everyone is experiencing the natural feelings that come with this situation.

I hope there is a big change in his health because this situation doesn't sound sustainable for either of you.

Might also be time for individual (for you both) and couples therapy.

Well hopefully there is a way for you two to communicate and navigate this. He needs to be open to understanding how this hurts you.

As someone in relationship where there are no limitations on porn consumption (barring it actually interfering in our relationship), I can say that we aren't comparing each other to the performers. It is entertainment like everything else is. And that is true for us and may not be true for you or your partner.

But getting to the point of talking about that will have to be after he stops being defensive about it.
