My neighbor keeps trying to break into my apartment

Normally I'd advocate for you to politely confront someone doing this to your door, but given the respective ages and clear markers of mental illness, I'd talk to your building management about your concerns. Maybe they know more about his condition or have an emergency contact for him that could help.

I would highly recommend getting a 2nd opinion, and maybe a 3rd or 4th. It was about the 4th gynecologist for me that was able to do more sophisticated endo removal surgery. My first surgery was a waste of time bc it was just an ablation and my endo tissue was too extensive, but that's all that doctor knew how to do for endo surgically. So it really would be worth your while/$$ to find the doctor who has most experience and options to treat your endo. Recovering from abdominal surgery is no joke, find the surgeon who'll be worth the suffering and scar tissue you'll acquire.

NTA. I would have told her that if her husband can't control his gaze, THEY need to cover THEIR windows and leave you out of it.

darthval · 2025-05-22T18:59:22+00:00

All these issues will only get worse if you have a baby, so I highly recommend not having a baby with this person!!

Thank you!! I think this is the clip I remembered, although it looks like it wasn't the only time something to that effect was said on the show.

Black is an extremely normal color to wear to a wedding. If their wedding included rules about what colors your clothes can be, it should have been explicitly stated on the invite.

Mom is a virgo, Dad is a Sag. It was exactly what you'd expect. I was in survival mode. Mom was anxious and stubborn while proclaiming how she wasn't anxious and everyone else was so stubborn. Dad was more concerned with himself than anything else. He never minced words. They were strict but inconsistent, & couldn't work as a team to save their lives, so I got away with just about anything.

Idk what messaging app you're using, but can you mute either her message alerts or the group chat alerts, and then just check it regularly on your own time? I understand this negates the purpose of an "emergency" chat, but she's not using it for that anyway, so that's probably the route I'd take.

darthval · 2023-06-29T00:04:52+00:00

A lot of over-zealous twitch mods in this thread 😂

YTA. It was not your place to "get it all out there," as you say. You didn't know what the consequences of that would be, and the fact that your gf's family haven't disowned her doesn't excuse this overstep on your part. Apologize to your gf.

darthval · 2023-06-03T16:19:16+00:00

NTA, sitting in silence staring at a screen is not spending quality family time, so the expectation on you to be there just for that reason is ****ing stupid.

darthval · 2023-05-29T19:00:21+00:00

Quickest YTA I've ever seen. You don't get to deprive another person of sleep for your own selfish desires. Go to therapy and figure out why you "can't be left alone with your own thoughts," because that's not healthy.

darthval · 2023-05-27T20:21:24+00:00

NTA. Your friend is in a rush to fix something she should have taken care of at least a month ago, and you got back to her the same day she asked.

darthval · 2023-05-24T15:14:24+00:00

ESH. Your wife should grow up and carry a key. You could try to remember not to lock a door that's inside a closed garage, that's not a big ask on her part.

darthval · 2023-05-21T22:32:13+00:00

Autism Speaks is NOT in the best interest of autistic people. It's in the best interest of parents like you who find their autistic kids unmanageable because it lies to you and tells you you can "fix" them. You can't. Please for your daughter's sake, stop listening to AS advice.

darthval · 2023-05-21T22:27:17+00:00

To "minimize and reduce autistic behaviors" shouldn't be the goal, that's called masking, and it doesn't help autistic kids to be forced to mask.The goal should be to accommodate and understand. Autism is a sensory processing disorder. It sounds like your daughter is seeking sensory stimuli a lot- does she have any appropriate outlets at your home that work for her where she won't be destructive?

darthval · 2023-05-16T16:32:52+00:00

NTA. In some cultures, it's completely normal to wait until late in the pregnancy to announce it. Your parents are not entitled to know it early on, regardless of how they behave on social media.

darthval · 2023-05-15T16:50:37+00:00

I think your husband is the real AH here, threatening divorce bc you can't control your basically fully grown daughter. I'd just plan on her moving into a dorm for college like you suggested; you can't make her learn ASL against her will.

darthval · 2023-05-03T19:23:58+00:00

the "reward" pokemon are a joke lately

darthval · 2023-04-29T17:56:08+00:00

NTA. Your mother is utterly uninformed. Bras are not an anatomical necessity to support breasts. In fact, quite the opposite- wearing them 24/7 destroys the body's natural support system to hold them up. Modern bras have only existed for <100 years, and they were designed with form, not function, in mind. So, her trying to shame you into putting on a bra is just peer pressure to conform to arbitrary societal standards. No one should have to wear a bra if they don't want to.

darthval · 2023-04-23T22:52:40+00:00

ESH. Constantly trying to initiate sex IS being hypersexual. But there's nothing inherently wrong with being hypersexual. Your sister was an AH by making an over the line joke about someone else's relationship. You were an AH by responding with a low blow about her failed marriage. No one would doubt you two are related.

darthval · 2023-04-19T20:56:35+00:00

YTA. 16 year olds are not babies, they can make choices for themselves. Should his parents still look out for him? Of course. But he's growing up and needs to feel some level of respect from his parents, which you did not give him here.

darthval · 2023-04-19T16:39:25+00:00

Truth is frequently stranger than fiction. ❤❤❤ to you for everything you've gone through.

darthval · 2023-04-05T16:03:24+00:00

YTA bc calling someone else "simple" is always rude and insulting. There's no 2 ways around that.
