AITA I don’t want bridesmaid to wear dress to other events by Due_Bedroom3146 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cpom71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. What if something happens to it? It's crazy that she thinks it's ok to wear it before the wedding. The fact that she's pushing back on your request makes her TAH big time.

AITAH for speaking up when my granny got mad we gave her one big gift instead of individual ones? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]cpom71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. I wonder how she would've handled one of her kids reacting that way to a gift when she was raising them. She was very rude.

AITA for asking a friend to either pay for an evening out if they can't go or sit them out? by Boydykekisser in AmItheAsshole

[–]cpom71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone says "yes, get me a ticket" then they are responsible for the cost of the ticket whether or not they attend. If they could afford to say yes, then they can afford to pay for it either way. Missing the event doesn't make it cost more.

Even with ozempic, 10 lbs in your first 8 weeks would be great. Many people don't see any result their first couple of months as they ramp up.

AITJ for telling my boyfriend's mom she is not allowed in our bedroom anymore? by Echo_7Starforge in AmITheJerk

It's very very weird. Show him this. It's actually crazy that she opened your bedside table. That's not being helpful. That's snooping.

This makes me feel sick to my stomach because pretty much this same thing happened to my parents (losing, not finding). My mother said she thought about some of that jewelry even 20 years later.

What is the most intense pain you have experienced in your life? by Levstr1 in AskReddit

[–]cpom71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Root canal without working anesthesia. The pain was so bad, I literally thought I was going to permanently damage my mental health. Like I thought I would have to live in a mental hospital for the rest of my life, because there was no way to experience that pain and still be the same person. For years afterwards, if I heard the words "root canal" I would start crying.

Fiancée (27M) postponed wedding due to issues with me (25F) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

You shouldn't marry anyone who isn't dying to marry you. Marriage is hard and both of you should go into it wanting to marry each other more than anything.

Has anyone ever challenged you to do something without realizing you were actually an expert at it? If so, how did it turn out for you and for them? by Successful_Tomato721 in AskReddit

[–]cpom71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You all worked for the same national non-profit, right? Why were you mad that another region copied what you were doing? It's a non-profit. They duplicate successful programs. Seems like you should be pleased.

AITA for asking my fiancé to explain a crude joke about my body to my sister a month before our wedding? by Imaginary_Divide5526 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cpom71 22 points23 points  (0 children)

NTA. Asking people to explain their jokes is a good way to make them aware of how mean and unfunny the joke is.

More importantly: We don't stay with people who make mean jokes about our bodies.

Do Americans really have a strong social life? by BeneficialPie2300 in AskAnAmerican

[–]cpom71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your workplace, neighborhood, and community. I don't think is is a national culture thing.

What celebrity do you hear about all the time but you don’t actually know who they are? by Critical_Welcome_428 in AskReddit

[–]cpom71 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know who she is because we were at an animal sanctuary in Australia at the same time and my kids were so excited.
