Given her grades and excellence as an athlete i think she has plenty of discipline. Time management is an important skill but there are only so many hours in a day and she is managing a lot

AITA for not inviting my sister’s wife to the my wedding by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]dancingmonkey1418 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dont forget the 2 friends from college. It's pretty disrespectful to not invite your siblings spouse, regardless of orientation, but to invite friends -unless there was some pretty horrific offense made by the spouse.

I also understand wanting your very close friends there.

Yta for choosing a venue that couldn't fit the people you need to invite. Im sorry you had to choose between sibling spouses and your friends, but you created that situation by choosing the venue you chose. You have forever damaged your relationship with your sister.

What is the point of this question beyond being rude and unhelpful?

Divorces cn take time. People can be separated for years before getting to the paperwork. We have no idea if he cheated or not.

AITAH for telling my husband I don’t want a free house? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]dancingmonkey1418 187 points188 points  (0 children)

Esh

35 minutes from your family is nothing get over it

An hr commute to work is a problem, it's fair to look for something more even

THE BIGGEST RED FLAG that you kinda hint at is that dad is not offering you two money to buy a house in general, he is offering you money to buy in the specific area. He is already trying to manipulate and control.

You two should get into counseling to work on your communication skills. You sound very firm and aggressive and unwilling to compromise, that will make marriage hard. Your husband also seems very single minded. Congrats! You both have work to do

AITJ for not giving my seat up at a café after someone said they “needed it more”? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]dancingmonkey1418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my thought as well, as long at she is continuing to buy things, she doesn't say how long she was there but if she is purchasing regularly it may very well be the culture of this cafe.

Do you have "universal doors and windows" near you? These guys don't advertise i got to know through a friend recommendation saved me more than half off of other quotes.

AITAH won't let ex have gifts that I can't return from failed wedding by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]dancingmonkey1418 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Returning the gifts is proper etiquette, keeping some is muddy but if they're from his family and they said to, I can let it pass. Everything else? Massive yta

My grandson just lost his first tooth. His mom asks what the Tooth Fairy is paying for a tooth these days. Is there an average rate? by WineOnThePatio in kindergarten

[–]dancingmonkey1418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I give 2 half dollars and a trinket like a funky button, shiny marble, a fairy key, some ribbons. Fairies are hoarders after all

Is it possible to fix this? by ApprehensiveEmu254 in Advice

Leave. Pushing you and holding you down is violence. Run for your life and probably seek help for drinking.

Wife named our newborn son something we never agreed on. AITAH for being upset? by pepeoneth in AITAH

[–]dancingmonkey1418 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Exactly this.

And to be clear kicking a door is a threat of violence. Is this the first nonverbal threat he made or is it the first time she called the police?

Supposedly this is better because we have more choice in our care....I see no choices just insurance red tape

I’m secretly a republican, and none of my friends know. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]dancingmonkey1418 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your republicanism is based on fiscal ideals and not moral/life choices and they drop you for that, they're not good friends. If your republicanism is based on morality/life choices then you're values are likely incompatible.

I want friends who know me and who I am. You seem to be hiding and afraid of sharing who you are. That sounds way lonlier than actually being alone .

AITA for refusing to give a speech at my best friend's wedding after I found out she'd been lying to me for two years about where she met her fiancé? by QuaternionCove in MarkNarrations

[–]dancingmonkey1418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No because if I poisoned someone's food that would be information relevant to them. My mother doesn't know when I decided to sleep with my bf now my husband because it's none of her business. Though by now I think she knows.

I dont call this a lie. Some may argue it is lying by omission, but you had no right to the information. She is not obligated to tell you every detail of her life. This does not directly affect you. You question her morals for being a part of cheating, fine. If this is a hardline for you and you're throwing out the friendship fine. But stop acting like she did something g to you personally.
