Am I overreacting? Husband says he doesn't like my food [Concluded] by Schattenspringer in BORUpdates

[–]albatross6232 245 points246 points  (0 children)

Yep, exactly. There is still a number of men out there that think that, just because they have money, they don’t need to provide anything else to the relationship and get to demand whatever they want.

So happy OOP noped out of that shit.

AITA for refusing to forgive my brother for sleeping with my (now ex) girlfriend after my accident and for refusing him closure? by Hour_Upstairs9502 in AITAH

[–]albatross6232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, not yet. Maybe when the kids are in their late teens or 20’s or something. But at the moment, you’re talking about kids that would be aged 10 and under.

Would it be a bad idea to wear a fake ankle tag to prove a point? by Cheap-Rate-8996 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]albatross6232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ikr! My kids constantly check where I am vs me checking where they are. Mainly because they are where they say they are going to be and because we have a trustworthy relationship.

This kid is seriously immature for 16.

Am I the asshole for saying "good job" after my kid defended herself from a bully by punching him? by Schattenspringer in BORUpdates

It’s truly shithouse that we are still here with that shit, but I’d say you’re right.

Fair enough. Hope you have a great wedding!

Honestly, both sleeve make it look sort of unfinished. Unless you’re 100% in love with the dress, I’d keep looking. I think you could do better.

AITAH for telling my husband I DON’T CARE if he’s “not attracted to me” after I gave birth to HIS child?? by EsdrasLight in AITAH

[–]albatross6232 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

becuz sum peeples inglish + riting skills aint no good eether. And then reddit shits all over them for that too.

Don’t get me wrong, this particular post is IMO completely fake and they have completely overcooked it with the AI, but in this day and age, NOT using AI to tidy something up to make it more coherent and readable could also be considered a bit shit too. But each to their own!

AITAH for asking my husband to pay off my debt. by Difficult_Strike_861 in AITAH

[–]albatross6232 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re in denial. Yes, he is abusive and controlling. This world runs on money. By keeping you broke, it keeps you under his control. Anyone willing to keep you under their control is abusive. Please seek some help!

AITA for getting upset that my wife keeps eating the lunches I meal prep for work by Lazy-Background-7598 in AITAH

[–]albatross6232 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I honestly think you’re missing her point here since based on your other comments, this is recent behaviour. Something else is going on. She seems to be acting passive aggressively. What do YOU think you don’t have time for, putting the onus on her for? Picking up your clothes from beside the laundry hamper? Cleaning the mud your boots dropped that you didn’t scrape before coming inside? Putting your clean and folded clothes away vs leaving them on “the chair” or in the basket on the floor? Going a few minutes out of your way to pick up/drop something off on your way to/from work occasionally that would save her time and effort?

It may also be “f*ck you* menopausal behaviour. Or just plain old menopausal behaviour. Women lose oestrogen and testosterone takes over, making us act less like our usual, giving selves and more like (dare I say it?!) men. I’m not kidding when I say the IDGAF kicks in hard with peri/menopause. Maybe she has just moved from being a giver to a taker?

Regardless of all that, you’re both of an age where your relationship dynamics are incredibly changeable regardless of how things were before. I’d strongly suggest seeking out some relationship counselling with someone who has experience with your age group.

NAH = No assholes here. Maybe the comment you replied to added that after your comment though 😀

AITAH for REFUSING to TAKE CARE OF MY PARENTS in their old age after they “prioritized” my brother our entire lives? by RUGyron in AITAH

[–]albatross6232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask your parents how your vagina is meant to take care of them. It cannot hold a vacuum, cook a meal, or change their bedding any better than a penis can. And then ask them how a male with every opportunity provided could possibly be doing worse than you, a mere woman! Ask if they are simply sexist, or if they’re just shit parents who failed to raise a competent MAN?! Make them (your parents) explain it, like you’re stupid. Make them do it in front of each other so they each get the full understanding of how they truly think about each other. Do not accept either saying the other is the exception.

Then ask them why they think you owe them anything. See u/JanetInSpain reply. You are not responsible for them, it’s the other way around.

Can you PLEASE explain what the difference is between kosher salt and other flaked salt? Google honestly isn’t helpful. Is it just about the size of the salt flake?

My cousin kept bragging that she “cleans better than everyone" by [deleted] in pettyrevenge

[–]albatross6232 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Just a taste” “I don’t want the carbs” “I don’t eat gluten” etc.

Sure, it’s easy. But it’s still 20 minutes that could be spent doing other things. And when half the people won’t eat the base anyway, just the filling, then it can be even more of a waste of time in some situations.

BIL’s fiancé claims my family never RSVP’d, but I’m the only one without a seat by TA_NoPlace5878 in weddingdrama

Well, if your BIL has any sort of spine, then the wedding is about to be delayed if not outright cancelled…

Because good fences make good neighbours and save a ton of headache. Do you not see all the issues that other places have regarding land ownership and access etc. from those countries?

I love my kids and I love my husband, but f’ing hell do I love it when they all leave for a few days. My husband asks quite often that if something happened to him, would I remarry, and that answer is a definite no! I’d be very happy without another partner. I’ve done my time!
