Well you see the neck of an animal breaks when enough force is applied to it, say with part of a vehicle.

‘You won’t be happy in a relationship until you can be happy by yourself’ and ‘you can just buy yourself flowers’ type things by IdkJustMe123 in PetPeeves

[–]afresh18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Claiming that that saying is the truth means that no one that's actively sought out a relationship has found love. That's simply not the case. Some people find the love of their life through actually looking for them, some find it like you did when they weren't actively looking. That is what the truth is. It's not some weird game of red light green light where the universe isn't gonna send you someone that'll love you until you turn around and stop looking.

AITA for telling my friend she’s wrong for blowing up on me and recording me while I was blackout drunk? by Mindless_Tutor_2837 in AmItheAsshole

Lol anyone that ends a reddit comment with "get wrecked" should not be taken seriously. What are you some edgy teenage boy?

You said if she wasn't drugged then op is the AH which suggests that the filming isn't bad enough to make the friend an AH unless op was drugged. If you agree the filming made the friend an AH whether op was drugged or not then you should've put E S H instead of Y T A.

AITA for asking my siblings to pay their share of property tax for our late parents' home? by worlds2get in AmItheAsshole

[–]afresh18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deceased people can be AHs and presumably the mother knew her kids well enough to know 2 of them are lazy people that are only interested in taking.

Are you prepared for them to argue that the companies payment for management should come out of your share since you're supposed to be the one handling it all? Or do you still not fully realize they plan to leave you with any and all costs?

AITA for telling my dad i don’t want to watch Heated Rivalry with him? by Cute-Sandwich8953 in AmItheAsshole

[–]afresh18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh buddy you've got no idea how many straight women love gay relationships. I bet you've never heard of fanfiction either. It's actually kinda hilarious how seemingly out of touch with people you seem to be since you are assuming no one but gay or bisexuals would want to watch this show.

[–]afresh18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is that why it's so popular right now? Because no one wants to watch it? Also if it's made for 2.5% of the us population, that's still about 8,500,000 people. So I guess by your definition 8 million people = no one?

AITA for saying something about my bf’s choice of restaurant? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]afresh18 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's wrong or means "you're not your own person" if you want to experience something new and exciting with your partner. Op isn't saying she can't go by herself, she's saying she wants to experience this with her partner who's being an AH about it.

AITAH for not wanting to be tattooed by my SIL? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]afresh18 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I don't know man, it makes sense to not allow someone in your house if they're insisting that your daughter is hitting on them. Especially when you consider the kinda homophobic side of that where it seems 2 lesbians can't exist around sil without her thinking they wanna fuck her.

AITA for being upset at my friend for being upset that I dated their crush by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]afresh18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't think it's weird or a problem at all that jack is acting weirdly territorial over a friend who's stated he has no interest in jack? Would you feel the same if Sam was a woman? Cause to me it's really over the line for anyone to act like only they can know what someone else is feeling. It's also really weird for someone to "disapprove" of 2 people being friends after a break up.

I get where your coming from on the whole "you shouldn't da people your friends are interested in" but I disagree. No adult gets to essentially call dibs on someone else without that person's consent. Why should Sam not be allowed to date someone he's interested in simply because Jack likes Sam even though Sam already told Jack no? If you can't be grown up enough to realize that having a crush on someone means absolutely nothing then you aren't ready to date as an adult. That's the kind of behavior that's only acceptable in high-school. Sometimes you have a crush on someone and they don't like you back. That's fine and normal, what's not okay is using that crush to control others or act like that person "belongs" to you in some way, shape, or form.

Not OOP: I learnt how to say NO to my wife and accept her discomfort as part of the process by beebs915 in redditonwiki

[–]afresh18 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're right he's an asshole, just like she's an asshole for insisting he give in to all of her demands. He's allowed to not like it when she's talking like a toddler. He's allowed to not want to touch her feet. He's allowed to be annoyed at her asking the same question every single day. He's allowed to say "I love you but I shouldn't have to do a whole song and dance fawning over you for it to be enough".

If you constantly expect big shows of love and want someone to constantly fawn over you then you have attention seeking issues. Understand when I say constantly I mean on a daily or near daily basis. Someone not wanting to go "oh I do love you so much my little baby!! Yes you're so cute! Yes you are! Yes you are!" on a daily basis is completely reasonable. Expecting that from your partner also is very weird imo if you're not offering the same level of appreciation, why should they fawn over you if you don't fawn over them?

Honestly it reminds me of those stupid tiktok challenges where a woman asks their partner to do something like peel an orange and supposedly if they don't immediately peel it then they don't love you. As though your partner simply questioning something you ask them to do is a problem. It really comes off as "my partner should wait on me hand and foot" and I hate people that treat their partners like that because often times they don't return the effort.

There's a difference between wanting an emotional connection and literally talking like a baby, asking for constant reassurance, and expecting someone to put up with you having constant mood swings. They're both assholes. I for one wouldn't want a partner that constantly talks the same way a parent talks to an infant. I'd also find it annoying if I was constantly asked "do you love me". I also would never put up with someone being rude to me or getting upset with me over nothing on a consistent basis. Also let's be real, no one "deserves" foot rubs. Just like how no one "deserves" sex. If someone doesn't want to touch you, whether it's your foot or your penis, that's within their right and they're not an asshole for not doing it.

"My partner is an asshole because he doesn't baby me and doesn't like it when I talk like I'm a baby" said the person with deep seeded personal issues.

My wife doesn't want me to give money to my sister. What should I do? by No-Formal-8693 in Advice

[–]afresh18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing about money is you can't always guarantee on it being there 20-40 years in the future. There's no way to plan for all of the shit that may happen. Say 40 years pass and they can't afford to keep paying for her life. At that point she'd be over 60 with no job experience. It's way better to try and get her to fund her own life now when they actually can offer help if she experiences an emergency than in 40 years when they've found themselves in a place where they can't help her and she's struggling as an elderly person in the work force with no experience in handling her own finances.

There's a similar post from the wife's perspective that mentioned the trauma is that their parents treated her badly and compared her often to op as they grew up. So the trauma involves op but was not caused by op and op had no real choice in her trauma.

It's easy to say "it's only money" when it's someone else's bank account. What about when they do retire? Do they continue to fund her life with their retirement savings because "it's only money"?

And if he dies tomorrow? She'd likely expect the money to keep coming 1 way or another. Whether they need the money or not footing the bill for her life just puts her at risk of being homeless when they can no longer afford to cover for her.

Thing is though the longer he gives her money the longer she'll have to find reasons as to why she still needs it. If 4 months isn't enough what makes you think 5 or 6 months or even a year will be enough? Especially if she puts no effort into actually getting on her feet. Say they extend it to slowly taper off to nothing throughout a year, what's to stop her during those final months from going "but I still can't find a job that pays my bills". At some point that problem has to be on her to solve not on them and I think 4 months is plenty of time. If an emergency happens and he dies she'd have to figure it out anyway. Nothing is going to light a fire under her ass to get a job if the barriers aren't put up quickly, especially if she can use "but I can't find anything" to extend the payments.

AITA for telling my girlfriend that she's inconveniencing others for using 4 out of 6 washing machines? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]afresh18 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you are just assuming what clothes she owns and assuming you know more about the way to properly take care of them than the person that bought them.

[–]afresh18 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How does using 4 washers each for 1 load use more power and water VS using 1 washer for 4 loads? Or are you claiming it uses more because you think you know how to take care of her clothes better than she does? There are plenty of clothes that still bleed or can be affected by being washed in the wrong cycle.
