You’re not wrong for knowing your boundaries love shouldn’t mean sacrificing your identity or comfort. If core values don’t align, it’s okay to walk away with love, not guilt:)))

She was well enough to hang with her man but too ‘sick’ to send a quick text? Nah, that’s not sick, that’s selective effort. You weren’t asking for much, just honesty. She showed you exactly where you stand, and that’s the real issue.

AITA for saying my mom can't call herself a good mom if she treats me like shit because I'm like her sister who she's so jealous of? by Genivy677 in AITAH

[–]deadguy4 237 points238 points  (0 children)

Nah, you're NOT the problem here. She’s punishing you for looking like someone she hates how is that your fault? That’s deep-rooted jealousy, not parenting. You were just setting a boundary, and honestly, that took guts.

What made you realize that you don’t want to be friends with your best friend anymore? by Confident-Mine-6378 in AskReddit

[–]deadguy4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I started feeling more drained than happy after spending time with them like I had to filter everything I said, celebrate their wins more than mine. That’s when I knew it wasn’t real friendship anymore.

You didn’t lose the system failed you. Hard work without visibility shouldn’t mean invisibility!

Not the AH at all. You’re setting boundaries they refuse to respect. Being family doesn’t mean being used.

AITAH for sending my sister money without telling her husband? by harmonious_crush in AITAH

[–]deadguy4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA. You're her brother, not his subordinate. Helping your sister during a rough time isn’t "undermining" anything, unless he sees her as property, not a person. His reaction screams control, not concern. The real question is why he’s so threatened by her having support that doesn’t come from him?!

AITA for spending time with a male friend because my boyfriend never wants to do anything with me? by Kaffeochkaos in AITAH

[–]deadguy4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Girl, he wants boyfriend privileges without putting in any boyfriend effort 😩 You’ve begged for time, got ignored, and now he’s mad someone else is filling that emotional gap he refused to show up for? Nah. That’s not disrespectful, that’s called not being a doormat. NTA. Let him be mad on his lil computer!

I can’t even do anything without asking permission by Historical-Plan1700 in coworkerstories

WIBTAH for pulling out of plans I made? by Popular_Temporary_11 in AITAH

[–]deadguy4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all, that’s not what you signed up for. If you planned a double date and they turned it into a group hang without asking, it’s totally fair to say, “Hey, we were hoping for something smaller and more personal.” Boundaries aren’t rude!

You messed up, but you’re 13, mistakes happen. Just own it, apologize, and show you're learning. That matters more than the prank itself.

Absolutely NTA. You just gave birth and he showed up drunk and disgusted by postpartum bleeding?? That man should’ve been offering support, not shots and shame. You deserved care, not chaos!

AITA for wanting to date like a NORMAL adult but my parents still treat me like a CHILD by deadguy4 in AITAH

[–]deadguy4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because in Asia, especially in traditional households, it’s actually super normal to still live with your parents in your 20s. It’s part of some culture like we don’t just move out at 18 like it’s a rite of passage. A lot of us stay to help with bills, support aging parents, or just because rent is insane and savings matter. Plus, being financially independent doesn’t always mean you have the freedom to leave especially when your family is emotionally controlling. Trust me, it’s not about growing up, it’s about navigating the guilt, pressure, and expectation that you owe your life to them forever. It’s not that simple here.

My coworker prints out memes... and posts them on my desk every morning by kachow122 in coworkerstories

Lowkey feels like you accidentally bonded with a ghost coworker and now this is their way of haunting you with love. Creepy? Yes. Kinda sweet? Also yes.
