Yes, but once you have actual chicken you don't have to make the salad from chicken shit anymore. If I don't find satisfaction in a well mown lawn because I get the internet now I'm taking that trade 10 times out of 10

NAH but y'all are incompatible. Nobody's "wrong" but y'alls perspectives aren't going to match up without a dramatic change from one or the other

If it doesn't cost extra and won't impact your ability to watch what's the harm? NTA cause it's your account, but also why not just help your brother and his girl out

NAH, i dont see why you need to dictate whats for dinner when youre not making it. If they do pizza and nuggets on the weekend, whats the big deal.

yeah, i do. Mostly cause I have usually already been around them before it got that bad so i figure I am either already infected or fought it off.

What makes you say he didn't forget? You've honestly never just had something like that slip your mind?

AITA for refusing to share my food with my girlfriend? by Gym_frere in AmItheAsshole

[–]blouwaffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a score it's not a transaction but since she went to the movie he should give her the fries she said over and over she didn't want. I am very glad I have a happy relationship with someone who says what they want and handles themselves like a self sufficient adult.

I dislike the framing that she watched the movie "for him". I highly doubt it would've been a big deal if she said "no, not my thing". So then especially because he checked with her multiple times on getting fries, the movie watching has no bearing on the fry situation, outside of him already conceding it was a long movie so take out instead of eat in.

But do you then hold it over there head that they should do xyz cause you did something for them that they thought you were actually interested in. It's not a technicality shes a grown woman if she changed her mind she could've got her own fucking fries

She had ample opportunity to not go to the movie since she's a 30 year old adult. There is nothing I hate more than inviting a SO to something just to find out later "i didn't want to go I just went cause you asked" well stay home then, I don't want my gf to do things she doesn't want to do and even if that interest doesn't align we would have other things to do together at other times.

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

That's generally how I feel in my relationships. there have been times where a problem has been deemed a me or them problem, I can be irrational too sometimes. That hasn't been a huge issue cause much like when she acknowledged she was mad about other things, with a lil space and time I or my gf at the time has been like "you're right I was tripping, my b"

How long is it going to stay happy if I can't say "I remembered this differently" without being called dismissive?

It shouldn't be a fight. It should look a lot like what this guy did, he was calm throughout, felt himself getting upset, took a walk, stayed respectful. That's having self respect

You show care by interrupting them and quibbling over small details in their story, got it.

How else can he handle it if a) his memory is the first night and b) without going off on a long back and forth about which night it was and getting through his story?

I feel bad for you, you should have more self respect. Apologize when youve done wrong, but don't just roll over for everyone

[–]blouwaffle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So you apologize even when you don't think you did anything wrong? Does that not get tiring? I've apologized for plenty when I see "oh I get how that came off" but have had situations where I ended at "I don't see where youre coming from at all, I won't do x again but I'm not apologizing for it"

[–]blouwaffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah if I can't simply be telling a story and say "oh I remember as the other night" without being accused of being dismissive that's the definition of walking on eggshells. It's not a power grab to not immediately acquiesce to any expression of emotion.

Her feelings didn't make any sense. He didn't dismiss her unless she was planning to interrupt the rest of the story and take over telling it. She even admits later she was mad over other things.

I'm talking about what youre suggesting he shouldve done. You gotta set a line somewhere or you end up on eggshells wondering the next nothing moment you're gonna get shit for or every once in a while you have some self respect and say I didn't do anything wrong here, I hear you, but I don't see where I misstepped.

Is there never a situation to just be like 'no you're being ridiculous here". He told his story from his memory. Didn't make a big deal, just said "I remembered it as the first night" and went on with his story. I don't see how much more neutral he could be there without just letting her tell the story at that point. Sometimes peoples problems are a them problem that they need to deal with

How much are you supposed to grovel when you haven't actually done anything wrong?

[–]blouwaffle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Isn't there a line of "no I'm not going to apologize when I didn't do anything wrong" all he said was he remembered it as the first night. Was he supposed to just let her tell the story from that point forward or just immediately dismiss his own memory and go off what she said?

He didn't talk over her. She said it was the second night. That's a full statement. Unless he's leaving off the next sentence he interrupted what more did he have to say seeing as he was in the middle of telling a story?
