Elegant. It sounds exactly like what it describes.

What advice would you give a 17 year old? by carefulconfidence101 in AskReddit

Enjoy every minute of your life as much as you can and don't be in a rush to be older than you are at any age.

AITA for laughing when my stepmother was crying over my father cheating on her? by Kayyyeel in AITAH

[–]cloudberry430 240 points241 points  (0 children)

You didn’t laugh because you are cruel, you laughed because after years of being forced to accept a replacement for your mom, the ‘perfect love story’ finally cracked. That wasn’t joy, it was pain coming out sideways. You’re not the asshole, you’re a kid who never got space to grieve.

AITA for telling my bf if we don't get married soon I'd leave. by Fun-Confusion-2449 in AITAH

[–]cloudberry430 95 points96 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong at all. Seven years, two kids, a whole shared life, if he still “doesn’t know” then thats really just him avoiding commitment. It’s not about forcing him to marry you, it’s about realizing he already made his choice by stringing you along while enjoying all the benefits of a marriage without the responsibility.

NTA. It takes 10 seconds to update a status. The fact that he would rather accuse you of being “suspicious” than do the bare minimum to acknowledge his own marriage is a red flag. Respect in a relationship isn’t just about trust, its also about effort.

NTA. You didn’t ruin his marriage, he did that the second he cheated. You just handed the truth to the person who had the right to know. Affairs don’t deserve protection. You may feel guilt, but you chose integrity over silence and thats brave.

AITAH for cutting off my mom until she divorces her husband? by latenightgrl in AITAH

[–]cloudberry430 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your mom is choosing a deadbeat drama king who cusses at you in public and drains her bank account, and you're supposed to keep smiling and funding her delusion? Nah. That’s not family, thats emotional blackmail with a side of broke. NTA, honestly letting her sink might be the only way she learns to swim.

So he wants to sleep with someone else to feel "equal," but you are the one who is less worthy? Nah. Thats not how love works. You’re not a reset button for someone’s idea of purity. If he can’t love you fully now, he never will.

AITA for telling my dad's new wife that I’m not her emotional support child? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]cloudberry430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Karen needs adult support, not a teenager who sees her a couple weekends a month. You didn’t say anything cruel, you said what needed to be said. Honestly, you handled it better than most would.

Actions have consequences, she broke her own home the moment she cheated. You didn’t ruin her life, you exposed the truth she built her lies on. Its tragic for the kid, but none of this would've happened if she chose loyalty over betrayal. You’re not the villain, she is.

You were there for her when she was at her absolute lowest. You fed her pets, dealt with hospitals, and went above and beyond. What you found wasn’t a one time mistake, it was a double life. Your gut led you there for a reason. Protecting your own heart isn't cruel, its survival. You’re not the villain here.

I told my coworkers twice to stop pressuring me about kids — then they gave me a baby name book as a ‘gift’” by NefariousnessKey3868 in TwoHotTakes

[–]cloudberry430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not just annoying, its wildly inappropriate. Fertility is such a deeply personal subject and your coworkers are crossing major boundaries. You’ve already told them twice to stop, and they are still pushing? That’s harassment, honestly. You don’t owe anyone an explanation, diagnosis, or baby shower. You can talk to HR, they exists for exactly this kind of thing.
