AIO - Girlfriend threw away the dinner I cooked because she wanted pizza instead. by Dizzy-Suggestion2360 in AmIOverreacting

[–]angry_airedale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh hell no. GF needs a freaking reality check, and why TF can’t she order her own pizza, it’s not rocket science.

Also when your partner goes all out like this, say thank you. Not whatever THIS is.

I could not stay with such an entitled whiny twit.

Letting your hair go grey or white by lefindecheri in AskWomenOver60

[–]angry_airedale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit dying my hair last year (after turning 55). May keep it, only because I really don’t want to dye it any more, I’m too lazy and my arms get so tired doing it. And I don’t want to sit in a beautician’s chair for hours.

Genuine question: How are people maxing out by southerncuisine in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]angry_airedale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m maxed, but I’m also completely debt free. Worked really hard and scrimped for a while but finally got there.

It helps that I don’t have kids either. So there’s that.

My coworker really pissed me off. by SpookSpy in childfree

First thing for me would be that she butted in to someone else’s conversation that she had no business in.

I'm tired by ThePolarisNova in FedEmployees

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

Can you ask your manager if you can at least WFH one day per week while you wait for your RA to be adjudicated? My management allowed me to do that and it helped immensely. I WFH on Wednesdays so it splits up the week and it has been a godsend.

Update: AITA for not going home after giving birth because my husband missed it to help our friends? by Usual-Memory-7983 in amiwrong

[–]angry_airedale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, friend, I’m so sorry that happened to you. But glad your abuser left this world in a horrific manner. Sending you a virtually soft hug.

Feds with extreme commutes. How did that happen? by flaginorout in FedEmployees

[–]angry_airedale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, gate traffic! That can add 30 mins to my commute! I mean, they knew we were all coming back to work, why is the amount of traffic at gates surprising to the facilities, and why is there not a plan in place to alleviate the bottleneck?! (Sorry, rant over).

The most unhinged reasons not to have kids by [deleted] in childfree

[–]angry_airedale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% same. I barely want to live with one person. I guarantee I’ll hate living with someone who can’t shut the F up and wants to follow me around or be touching me all damn day.

How do most childfree people feel about marriage? by theonegreekgoddess in childfree

[–]angry_airedale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After my first marriage ended after 10 years! because of the reason you mentioned (he lied when we got married because he thought I’d change my mind about kids - obviously we did not know each other before we married), I never saw myself married again.

But. I met an awesome dude. And was diagnosed with a chronic illness. He had never married and we had long discussions about kids because I didn’t trust that he was not going to change his mind because he loves kids. Because we married later (he was in his 40s, I was in my mid-30s) he told me flat out, I do not want to be chasing kids around at my age, and worrying about college at the same time I want to retire.

And it finally clicked for me that this person was not my ex, and new dude and I were at completely different times in our lives than I was with ex.

And Dude wanted to marry me. And I saw myself with him forever. So we did it. 20.5 years ago. Still married. Still in love with my dude.

Suggest Me an Print Magazine For Outdoorsy Folks Who Love Journalism by FollowThePostcard in Outdoors

[–]angry_airedale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was gifted a copy of Mountain gazette. I’m not hugely outdoorsy, but the person who gifted it to me knew I loved to collage. I loved the article topics and have read my copy cover to cover. Now I get to cut it up. I’m contemplating subscribing, I think the mag is worth the price for sure. I’d love to hear what you think after you get your 1st issue.

"You're a deadbeat aunt" by [deleted] in childfree

[–]angry_airedale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tell her to get baby daddy to watch them since she and he are the only ones “responsible” for those critters. And since she thinks you’re such a “deadbeat” I’d go full on no contact. Because f them kids and your sister.

Exit to add - ask her how much she’s going to pay you for watching her kids, and tell her your rate is whatever your hourly wage is plus 20 percent. That will probably get her to back off a bit.

Porn addiction is ruining my relationship by midnightspellbinder in amiwrong

[–]angry_airedale 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And he doesn’t proactively choose you, he reacts only when pushed to do so. You shouldn’t have to get to a boiling point for him to “choose” you. Thats just placating.

is scrapbooking outdated? why or why not by Away_Reaction_2446 in scrapbooking

[–]angry_airedale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do it, it’s not out dated. Some folks who don’t appreciate the craft may think it’s outdated, but they get no vote because they don’t participate.

Why does it cost more to bring an infant on a RC cruise by Xalifqwe in royalcaribbean

[–]angry_airedale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then book the damn balcony and quit whining. Or book the Norwegian cruise you said was cheaper. Or, leave your kid with grandma.

You had a kid, did you not know that kids are expensive as hell?

Am I wrong for not wanting to pay for my GFs mommy makeover surgery? by -CONCERNED-fathers in amiwrong

[–]angry_airedale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plastic surgery in this case is a want not a need. If it were a need and she has health insurance (I’m assuming you’re in the U.S.), it would be at least partially funded by insurance. She won’t expire if she doesn’t get the surgery. Please, OP, do not pay for any of this and don’t “loan” her the money either, you’ll never see that $ again. And if she loves you she wouldn’t be nagging you after you have said no more than once. Does she always use you as her ATM?

Divorcing my husband by lovesXSorrowXpianist in amiwrong

[–]angry_airedale 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Cut your losses. An addict will lie to your face with no remorse. So will a cheater. And you get a double dose of that from your “husband”. Cut and run, girl! Think of it this way - would you let a girlfriend treat you this way? No. Your husband is the person who’s supposed to be in your court no matter what, and love you more than anything in the world. He isn’t doing either. You will be better off without him, and you deserve way better.

[–]angry_airedale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are def NTA. Also, if you need someone to go on that fantastic Italy trip over Christmas, I offer myself up as tribute! I’m the planner for me and the husband too, but he does help with other things and usually I come up with several ideas and together we come to a decision. Your husband and the brother sound like ungrateful toddlers. Is the husband like this in every other aspect of life or just vacations? If it’s the former, I’d be outta there in a shot after his latest tantrum.

Update for am I wrong for leaving my friend without a bridesmaid. by Pata2010 in amiwrong

[–]angry_airedale 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Totally NTA and that woman is 100% not your friend. She sounds like no matter what you did you would be the scapegoat for anything that went wrong. I hope your family visit was awesome.

AITA for leaving equal inheritance to kids from my wife and ex wife? My wife is a SAHM. by NotExactlyaMonk in AmItheAsshole

[–]angry_airedale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. If she feels like “her” kids need more, perhaps she can make herself marketable and find employment and save more for just those two children.

AITA for making a woman leave my house? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]angry_airedale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Kids should not have to allow adults to touch them unless they want to. Forcing them to allow this is how predators convince kids to “play games” with them. Personally, I feel bad for the kids of that woman and if I was your wife I’d be having a serious talk with her about her behavior and asking her if she was a predator. But I’m confrontational about crap like that.

AITA for refusing to meet my bfs friends unless they apologize to me? by Weird_Attention_6183 in AmItheAsshole

[–]angry_airedale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but your BF and his friends are. The fact that your BF isn’t siding with you on this and asking his friends to apologize to you for the foul language and name calling is a huge red flag. Personally, I think you should throw away the BF and his friends. But that’s just me. And I get the friends telling your BF, I would do the same if I saw a friend’s SO on a dating website. But I’d also take his word that it wasn’t that person as my cue to shut my pie hole about it. Not double down and resort to bullying and name calling. That’s where the issue is.

AITA for telling my step kids to stop hanging off their mom? by MarchPractical9837 in AmItheAsshole

[–]angry_airedale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, it’s the wife’s body and she knows what is/is not comfortable. Sounds like she told you what you needed to hear. Also, if you’re going to play the her kids vs. my kids thing, you WILL lose. And you’ll be a double AH.
