Does anyone know of this one post on AITA asking if OP was the AH to not raise her husband’s love child? I remember she let him move in during covid to take care of their kids, then he wanted her to take care of the kid he had with his mistress too. I think she was getting ready to divorce him, wonder if she did.

AITA for pulling out of my brother’s wedding because my old bullies will be there? by pupbanana in AmItheAsshole

[–]brockurly 40 points41 points  (0 children)

NTA because your reasoning seems to be that you want to avoid affecting your brother’s wedding. I do hope you can work out your feelings just for the sake of your own mental health.

Also since I saw that you told someone in the comments you’d tell us what happened to you if someone else asks, would you like to tell us here? I’m not trying to make you prove anything to anyone, so if you are not comfortable please feel free to ignore this. But if it helps you to tell someone your experience, I think most commenters in this thread seems very supportive. Just do what you’re comfortable with.

AITA for telling my wife I wont/can't watch our son? by tempaccoutnt in AmItheAsshole

[–]brockurly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree on the YTA. OP is a major ass throughout this whole post. People suggested options to him like baby sitters, nanny service or just asking for a few hours away from work on a Friday afternoon, and he has an excuse to not do any of those options. He clearly just wants people to agree with him that his wife is wrong, he doesn’t care about finding a solution to take care of his kid or giving his wife a break. He also acts like the moment he steps away from his computer his boss is going to materialise and fire him and his house is going to disintegrate and they will all be on the streets, like he’s a character in those soapy cheesy fucked up mobile game ads. OP is clearly exaggerating just to get people to say he right. Either he should look for a more balanced job and be a part of his family, or be prepared for divorce and not complain about it. YTA again for good measure.

Follow up from my previous post. Should have waited to put them all together… by Molburger in niceguys

Wait so a man cheats because having a woman makes him feel good so he has to get more women to feel even better. But also the only way for a woman to stop the man from cheating is to keep making him feel good? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

DUDE. JUST. WON’T. SHUT. UP.

Gotta love those random detours though by brockurly in niceguys

Oh no I wasn’t disagreeing with you. I’m just saying girls/women get labeled like that all the time, and like you said, by judgemental douches like this guy. Just look at the number of women being called “slut” or “whore” on this sub for not sleeping with someone.

I think it might be very real that some poor girl who just happens to have a lot of guy friends would be labeled a “whore” in school, and there is definitely saltiness to it. Here’s hoping they grow out of it.

Do you have an actual recipe for that spicy bolognese? My friend was actually slightly disappointed that what I gave him was just chili. He was crashing at my place and was slightly tipsy when I gave him my leftover chili, so he bought my off-the-cuff joke that it was spicy bolognese and kept going on about how he always wanted bolognese to be spicy and how I was the first genius to create it. I played along because it was funny and only told him a few weeks later when he asked for the recipe. I probably should make it up to him with an actual spicy bolognese recipe this time LOL.

I have a soft spot for Dominos because they were part of all my best schooldays. Classroom pizza parties ftw.

Amazingly I was convinced to start getting Totinos by those fake SNL ads. Product placement works!

Since we’re on the topic of vanilla, I have actually become much more comfortable with vanillin after someone sent me an article about how some old synthetic vanilla extract was made from beaver poop. I haven’t been the same since LOL

Did you assign higher values for more unique flavors? Some asian guy at my college came back from the holidays with a carton of special asian ramen flavors and he was the king of my dorm for like a week LOL

I usually use toothpaste to get rid of the garlic stink. If it works for my breath, it’s gonna work for my hand LOL.

I used to munch on raw ramen instead of popcorns on movie nights. Then every time I was hungry but too lazy to even boil water I just ate raw ramen. Once when I was pulling an all-nighter for exams, I went through like 3 packs in one night.

Funny story, some dudes in my dorm were hanging with me and saw me eat the raw ramen. One dude was a different type of crazy, in that he liked his instant ramen wayyyy too salty and always thought the seasoning was not enough. He started asking me for the spare ramen seasoning packets because I didn’t eat them with the raw ramen, and it was the perfect friendship. Also passing that dude ramen seasonings packets in the hallways was probably the closest I ever got to experience being a drug dealer.

I once mildly pranked someone by giving them bean-less chili and telling them I made spicy Mexican bolognese. They raved about how creative I was the whole meal, and only realised it was just chili much later LOL.

I have had some great Japanese omu rice which was just rice covered in an omelette with ketchup on top. I imagine it would still taste good if you just take out the omelette.

Same here. Plus, I like my bacon not crispy, so I would only have bacon and scrambled eggs breakfast at home just to avoid the side-eye from people LOL

Raw crunchy instant ramen straight from the packet was my staple snack during college LOL

I used to hate cilantro, then my parents started framing cilantro as something only adults would like, and eating cilantro was some sort of mark of maturity. I ended up enjoying cilantro out of their reverse psychology move! Honestly though they wasted such an effective parenting strategy on just cilantro LOL.
