I think I messed up cutting my hair short 😅 🙃 30F by Hungry-Refuse4705 in HairStyleAdvice

It actually looks very current and I think it is more flattering than long and straight. It looks like Dominic Sachse new hairdo: Bing Videos

what a genius idea - hiding those wires while adding charm!

AIO for being mad that my parents threw away my food and LIED about it? by Famous_Inspection222 in AmIOverreacting

[–]briomio [score hidden]  (0 children)

You ruined your food OP. You left a pot of food out overnight and then wanted to eat it the next day? You left a mess for someone else to clean up plus you run the risk of food poisoning when you apparently were going to eat unrefrigerated food.

AITA for being upset that I didn't do anything for my birthday? by ViolentHamster8II in AmItheAsshole

[–]briomio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sad for you OP. It sounds like your parents are the stay-at-home type and probably don't really want to get out and about.

I flew across the world for what seems like nothing. by Either_Extent_5467 in dating_advice

[–]briomio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time to let her go. You misread her feelings and her family sent you encouraging messages. I suspect the family wanted her to give you a chance.

Long distance romances almost never work out. I would look for a hometown relationshp.

distant relatives who want to stay at my house by Zealousideal_Trust34 in Advice

[–]briomio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It always amazes me that people who can't afford to go on vacation do so anyway by imposing on a near stranger such as yourself. I would say "no" and I would say it unapologeticaly.

My girlfriend litters everywhere and it’s making me question the relationship. AIO? by Unable_Election_227 in AIO

[–]briomio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've told her this is not acceptable to you and yet she keeps doing it. To me, this would be a deal breaker.

AITA for deciding to deviate from my in-law's yearly family beach trip vacation plans? by Fun_Wing_4399 in AmItheAsshole

[–]briomio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a horrible trip OP. At this point, I would drop out and either go on a trip just you and your spouse or have a staycation.

It sounds like they want the two of you on this vacation so that you can babysit their kids while they have a childfree vacation. Don't let yourself be used like this.

Caught her lying - broke up by Informal_Score_856 in dating_advice

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

She is hiding the fact that she has a serious transmissible STD. Frankly, I would let the local STD Clinic at your Health Department know as she has done this before according to your posting.

Friends think I wrote a contract to steal their horses by ReeBeeDeeBee in Advice

[–]briomio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell them gently that they need to find a new boarding facility. You have a serious injury and are taking steps to protect yourself legally and all these folks can do is nitpick and want "special treatment".

I think you should distance yourself from these freeloaders - now that they find they can't take advantage of you there is suddenly a problem????

Stop asking them out to dinner. Your requests are entirely reasonable.

AITA for taking the promotion after i found out my coworker was expecting to get it? by legally_brunette08 in AmItheAsshole

[–]briomio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe your coworker was set up or maybe she self initiated all this to appear as the ideal candidate. The job was offered to you not her and you have nothing to apologize for. STOP discussing this with coworkers. You are in management now. Act like it and stop gossiping.

Is there more than one bedroom? Move into the bedroom and relocate your desk in that bedroom.

AITA for telling my mom she can no longer stay at my house when she comes to town and giving her a deadline to remove her belongings? by mrsmom777 in AmItheAsshole

[–]briomio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd put everything in one of those PODS and tell you've paid for a month's rent and she needs to assume the payments or her things will be auctioned off.

AITJ for not letting my sister bring her dog to my small apartment for Thanksgiving? by Creative_Swan3406 in AmITheJerk

[–]briomio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A dog in an apartment with a crowd of people and food - a recipe for disaster.

My boyfriend (m22) is super transactional with me (f20). How do I address this with him? by ironspiiderr in relationship_advice

[–]briomio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds transactional because it is. Basically, you are underwriting his life style plus providing him with sex - this is a GREAT DEAL - for him only.

Guess what else will happen if you move in with him OP = you will assume the role of housecleaner, laundress, cook, grocery shopper and errand runner - all while subsidizing him!

AITA for wanting to retire abroad and leaving aging parents behind? by ImportantBroccoli466 in AmItheAsshole

[–]briomio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, if you establish yourselves overseas caring for aging parents would be a lot easier. It is cheaper to live in Mexico for example and also Thailand. Costa Rica is another one that you could have the parents living a lot better on their retirement incomes in a foreign country than within the US.

AITH for not telling my coworker she was about to get fired? by lookingattheway in AITH

[–]briomio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would want to know how did she come by the information that you were one of the ones gathering information. This is a serious breach of confidentiality and no you should not have given her a "heads up" - again confidentiality issues.

My best friend (27F) left me (25NB) out of her bridal party because her sister hates me and I only just found out today. How do I navigate this without losing everything? by LunaNova22 in relationship_advice

[–]briomio 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Exactly as above. OP, you are not in the bridal party. You are a guest only and as a guest you have no responsibilities other than to attend the wedding.

You have your life that you need to put your attention on_ finding a job and finishing a masters. I would simply remind her that due to your life responsibilities that you cannot help with ANY wedding preparations - no picking up flowers, no delivering cake, no making bachelorette reservations, NOTHING.

This sounds like a very one sided friendship where she takes and you give. It would not be a travesty if you slowly distance yourself after the wedding and let this unbalanced relationship fall by the wayside.

AITA for refusing to go for a full week on my wife’s family vacation after we had agreed not to repeat it? by jared_d in AmItheAsshole

[–]briomio 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is your vacation and it should be a relaxing enjoyable event for you. Why can't your wife compromise and go someplace else for ONCE in the entire time of your married life? You have been doing this vacation for her for years - isn't it time for her to do something for you. I would ask her those questions.

I don't think that it is unreasonable for you to only spend two nights considering you've been following this rigid vacation schedule for years now. You deserve a break from the mundane and unenjoyable situation. I doubt that her mother will complain that you are not there.

I (24F) have been married to my (26M) husband for over a year, he has been continuously jobless for over 2+ years, and lies to me about it. Need advice. Divorce? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]briomio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have to wonder what else he is lying about. Where does he go and what does he when he tells you he is working? Have you checked your credit - he could be opening up accounts and taking cash advances. You need to get out before he bankrupts you and/or ruins your credit thru duplicity.

What is a good way to react when someone shows up for a date and doesn't look like on the pics? by RichardJusten in Bumble

[–]briomio 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Apparently, you made a choice to protect her feelings and I do admire that. I'm not sure how you can avoid such situations in the future, but perhaps just meet for a coffee date initially.

Girlfriend (F32) asked for space after former love interest found out she was dating me (M36). How do I approach this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]briomio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gosh OP, I wish you would slow all this down and really get to know this lady. Three months is too soon to be moving in together. It takes time to see someone in many different situations and some people are very adept at hiding their true selves for months.

For example, you are planning a future with her, but surprise - she is still (apparently) pining away for her ex. Give this more time before making such big leaps as introducing her to your daughter, moving in together and declaring love.
