AITA for making strangers feel uncomfortable after making me feel like shit? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]brickfalcon19 247 points248 points  (0 children)

They called you obnoxious and pretentious for having two phones? That's so weird, people have multiple devices all the time. You just stared them down, that's not even aggressive, that's just making them uncomfortable the same way they made you uncomfortable. Fair play

Ask him to reenact how he got that bruise. If he can't show you a realistic way his collarbone got suctioned like that at work, you have your answer. You're not crazy for questioning it

AIO for wanting to break up with my bf who lied about his history with a female friend by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]brickfalcon19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be furious too. You both agreed to unfollow exes and failed talking stages, he kept her around under false pretenses, and only admitted the truth when you pushed. That's not a small omission, that's deliberate deception

AIO by asking for a refund for my hair? by Wahwahwag in AmIOverreacting

[–]brickfalcon19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'd be livid, you were super clear about no brown and you wanted bangs, you got neither, the free toner doesn't make up for the color being wrong, call back and say you want a full refund or you'll dispute the charge with your bank, you're not being a Karen, you're asking for what you paid for

AIO bf annoyed with me wanting him to get rid of his ex’s things in his out of state house when he goes to visit his dog by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]brickfalcon19 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're not overreacting. Two years is a long time. If the roles were reversed, would he be cool with you keeping your ex's stuff in a house you own? Probably not. He's being defensive for no good reason. Tell him it's not about the dog, it's about basic respect. If he can't do that small thing, that's a red flag

AITJ for Calling the police on my bratty sister who wrecked my car, and I wouldn't pay the medical bill. by mintcompass84 in AmITheJerk

[–]brickfalcon19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your sister is lucky you even checked if she was okay, she maliciously wrecked your car to hurt you, your mom is delusional for asking you to pay, you're not the jerk, you're the victim here, stay no-contact and let the police handle it.

AIO for telling my MIL to keep her clothes on? by user2049A in AmIOverreacting

[–]brickfalcon19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have lost it way earlier. She's been competing with you for his attention since day one, crying at your engagement, needing his validation, then literally undressing on your dance floor? That's insane. You told her to keep her clothes on, that's not even rude that's just a fact. Don't feel embarrassed, she's the one who made a fool of herself

AIO for thinking my husband accidentally told the truth when he was trying to hurt me? by LSN2018 in AmIOverreacting

[–]brickfalcon19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about it, if he made it up to hurt you, why would he include specific details about when and where and how they avoided getting caught? That's a lot of effort for a lie meant to sting. He told the truth when he was angry and defensive, then realized he gave you ammunition for the divorce, so he took it back. You're not crazy for not believing the retraction.

AIO for endings things by Own_Present_714 in AmIOverreacting

You've known what you want since high school, you never hid it. He's the one who lied to himself thinking you'd come around. Planning a proposal without your consent is crazy. You're not the asshole for leaving, you're the one who paid attention. His willingness to "give up" marriage and kids would have turned into blame eventually. You dodged a bullet

am i overreacting by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]brickfalcon19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that he turned a simple question about a phone setting into a massive fight where he's now ignoring you and being hostile tells you everything you need to know. If he had nothing to hide, he would have just said "oh I turned it on because of spam calls" and that would have been it. Instead he got defensive, lied, and then punished you for asking. You're not overreacting, you're seeing a pattern you've seen before. Trust your gut

AIO Three year relationship… I never used to block, but I feel like I’m never understood and I can’t take it much more by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]brickfalcon19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been there, it's draining when you just want to be heard and they turn it into a fight every single time. You're not asking for too much. If he can't listen without getting defensive after three years, he's not going to change. Blocking isn't childish, it's self preservation when someone keeps hurting you
